Chapter 27: Reinforcements Arrive
"Bold! The prime minister has done his best for my Yankang country, and his hard work is high, how can you be able to put a beak in a mere seven-grade ginseng! A scarlet-robed official angrily rebuked Yang Kuan.
This is a rare opportunity to show favor to the prime minister, and he will naturally not let it go.
Then, one after another officials jumped out and reprimanded Yang Kuan.
The hall was suddenly noisy, and a eunuch whipped it.
After a crisp snap, the officials fell silent.
With goat's whiskers, the slightly thin Ninety-Five Venerable spoke.
"This case is full of suspicions, the imperial court has suffered huge losses, and it involves the Lu family's ship crossbow case, so it will be handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Three Divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial!"
"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is true, the Prime Minister's accusation just now is the conclusion reached by the joint review of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate it!"
The criminal department was still in the queue and said loudly.
Dali Siqing and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all came out to echo.
"Nonsense, a nest of snakes and rats! The Great Wall collapsed in only two days, which was only enough for the three divisions to send people back and forth to the border, how could they have done any detailed investigations?! You are deceiving the king! ”
Yang Kuan angrily reprimanded the three chief officials of the three divisions, and his heart was even deeper.
These people dare to refer to a deer as a horse in front of His Majesty the Emperor, it is simply lawless!
But the next moment, the hussar general who was in charge of the forbidden army came out of the ranks, and directly stepped forward with two big mouths and called towards Yang Kuan.
Two snapping sounds, and Yang Kuan was slapped so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding and he was dizzy.
"There's no place for you sinner to speak!" The general of the dart banner angrily reprimanded Yang Kuandao.
Pu You, the prefect of Ningzhou, saw this, as if all his essence and spirit had been drained, like a deflated balloon, wilted.
He didn't have any more thoughts of defending himself.
Obviously, the three divisions and the general of the dart banner are both prime ministers.
Mastering the Three Divisions and the Forbidden Army, the prime minister is equivalent to controlling the entire country.
The Ninety-Five Respect on the dragon chair can only endure silently and keep quiet.
At this moment, the emperor's face was gloomy as if he could squeeze out water.
Obviously, the prime minister is determined to kill the killer.
He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Prime Minister Ji Yu promptly accused the emperor and said: "The nature of this case is too bad, in order to find out the truth in time, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have begun to investigate since they received the report from the palace. ”
"Weichen also learned the truth before the last dynasty, and he was indignant, so he told the truth on behalf of the third division, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you!"
The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Ji Yu, then at the princes of the palace, and at Yang Kuan and Pu Youcheng who were kneeling in the hall, and shook his head helplessly.
"The three divisions are vigorous and resolute, and the prime minister is just telling the truth on his behalf, what is the crime. Then leave this matter to the prime minister! The emperor rubbed his temples and sighed: "Hey, I have a splitting headache, so let's retire today!" ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Ji Yu said.
Immediately afterwards, the ministers said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, they only heard an old and majestic voice from outside the hall.
"The old minister's champion general, Yang Chao, has come to ask His Majesty for his guilt, and I hope that His Majesty will remember that the Yang family has been loyal to the martyrs for generations and has opened up territory for the Yankang country, and the old ministers have received it on behalf of the son, and let the innocent people go!"
"Daddy!" When Yang Kuan saw his old father walking into the hall wearing armor, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
, a father who has been serious all his life, has never shown a gentle side to his sister-in-law.
In Yang Kuan's view, in his father's eyes, there are only military regulations and military discipline, and the law is normal.
But he didn't expect that he would be able to end the glory he had fought for and held on to all his life for himself.
As far as Yang Kuan is concerned, he should indeed be responsible for the collapse of the Great Wall, but the joint sitting of his family and subordinates is simply Prime Minister Ji Yu waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
Therefore, when my father came to intercede with His Majesty the Emperor, he undoubtedly violated the laws of the common law, gave up his life's glory, and became a sinner.
This is even more uncomfortable than directly asking the stubborn father to cut himself!
"The child is not filial, I'm sorry Dad!"
Yang Chao showed an extremely rare smile and comforted: "Child, you are the pride of your father and the pride of the Yang family, isn't it just death?" If I can use my blood to awaken the blood of the soldiers of Yankang Country, why worry about the thief who steals the country?! ”
After saying that, Yang Chaohu glared at the big thief Ji Yu angrily.
The Emperor, who was about to leave, paused.
Yang Chao is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has made great achievements, but he never thought that he would suffer such a catastrophe when he was old, and the emperor couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Immediately afterward, the emperor saw one by one old figures.
Dressed in armor, they walked slowly into the hall.
These people are all generals, and the lowest rank also has three grades.
The ministers looked at these seven or eight iron-clad generals in astonishment, who had fought horses all their lives and had countless military exploits, and at the same time they were shocked in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Prime Minister Ji Yu looked at all this calmly, with no waves in his heart, and even a shallow smile on his face.
He wants to see what these old guys can make today.
Including the Yang Dynasty, a total of nine generals with more than three grades came, and there was even Huo Gang, the former secretary of the military department.
These gray-haired, slow-paced old men stood in a row, and the fighting spirit of the horse's life seemed to be ignited again.
The staff they want to fight this time does not use blades, chariots and horses, but there is no gunpowder smoke in the court.
Huo Gang, the former secretary of the military department, is old and strong, he stands upright, and his voice is like Hong Zhongdao: "I implore Your Majesty to retry the Great Wall collapse case, which must be greasy, if there are rebellious ministers and thieves who cause chaos in the dynasty, the old minister is willing to regain military power and share worries for Your Majesty!" ”
