99. Yang Yanhe resigned

A few days later, suddenly His Majesty the Emperor began to convene hundreds of officials to the Taihe Palace to discuss the matter, at this time, although Du did not forget to come here with an edict, he was not in the palace!

At this time, in the splendid Taihe Palace, all kinds of officials stood neatly, Emperor Zhu Houxi sat on the dragon chair, and there were two young officials kneeling in the open space in the middle!

I only heard a young official say:

"Minister, the criminal department gives Li Fuxing in the matter, and there is a book"!

As soon as he finished speaking, another young official also said:

"Minister, Yang Weicong in the ministry of the ministry, there is also a book"!

At this time, Emperor Zhu Houxi ordered the eunuch beside him to go and fetch two copies of the recital, took a look, and said:

"Two Aiqing, please get up"!

Then he said:

"Can the two Aiqing discuss the content of the recital with the ministers in detail"!

At this time, both of them stood up, and Li Fuxing was the first to rush to say:

"The minister heard that my Ming Dynasty put filial piety first, but although His Majesty's father King Xing has left, his biological mother Empress Dowager Jiang is still alive, but His Majesty can't call his biological mother Empress Dowager Jiang **, which is really against the way of filial piety, and the ministers have always been worried about His Majesty"!

At this time, Yang Weicong on the side continued:

"The minister is also very worried about His Majesty, so the minister suggested that His Majesty immediately make a decree to crown the Empress Dowager Jiang as the "Empress Dowager Jiang", and the late biological father Xingxian Wang as the "Xingxian Emperor", and Emperor Xiaozong is ranked alongside the Zongmiao"!

At this time, after the ministers heard what the two said, the audience was in an uproar.

Yang Yanhe walked out first and said:

"These two young and ignorant juniors, talking nonsense in the court, it is really detrimental to my Ming system, I suggest that Your Majesty immediately put the two in prison for strict investigation"!

After Yang Yanhe finished speaking, Zhang Xuan immediately stood up and said:

"I think what the two officials said is very reasonable"!

Then he also handed out a fold and said:

"The minister also has a book"!

Emperor Zhu Houxi glanced at Zhang Xuan's recital, and then said to the eunuch beside him:

"You can read Zhang Shilang's recital to everyone!"

The eunuch stepped forward and read aside, since Zhang Xuan had already shown Emperor Zhu Houxi before, it was nothing more than a variety of examples to illustrate that His Majesty the Emperor should be crowned with his parents to present the king and the Empress Dowager Jiang!

After hearing this, Yang Yanhe said mockingly:

"How can a group of ignorant villains participate in national affairs, Your Majesty actually succeeded Emperor Xiaozong to the throne, since he should have severed the relationship with his parents Xingxian Wang, His Majesty took the Empress Dowager Jiang into the palace to support is the greatest courtesy given by my Ming Dynasty"!

After listening to Yang Yanhe's words, Zhu Houxi's face was full of anger on the dragon chair, and he was about to have a seizure, when another middle-aged official came out and said:

"Minister, the Ministry of War will give Xia Yan in the matter, please play if you have something"!

Zhu Houxi held back the anger in his heart and hurriedly said:

"Xia Aiqing's quasi-play"!

Xia Yan said:

"The minister wants to play the first assistant Yang Yan and the ten major sins"!

At this time, the audience was in an uproar, and Yang Yanhe glared directly at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan continued:

One crime: As the first assistant, he is lawless

Two crimes: bullying people and threatening officials

Three crimes: forming a party for personal gain, corrupting the government

Four crimes: embezzlement and bribery, shielding disciples

Five sins: roaring at the court, bullying the saint

Six sins: conniving at family members and occupying fertile land

Seven Sins: Dividing Your Majesty, Mother and Son

Eight crimes: manipulating the cabinet and arbitrarily ruling the government

Nine sins: full of crazy words, misleading the country and the people

Ten sins: befriending martial arts and conspiring to plot the country

Then he handed it over, and at this time, the six Shangshu came to accuse Xia Yan one after another.

The DPRK and China were suddenly divided into two factions, one faction was the ministers of various important departments of the DPRK and China headed by Yang Yanhe, and the other faction was the rising star headed by Zhang Xuan, and the two factions even reached the place of tension.

Emperor Zhu Houxi can only dissuade all parties from being impatient at this time, but it is useless!

At this time, Du Buyi suddenly came in with a large number of royal forest troops and surrounded all the ministers of the Taihe Palace!

At this time, Yang Yanhe saw this, and first came out to ask Emperor Zhu Houxi:

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"You people, you don't take me as the emperor in your eyes at all, can you still be a Ming courtier?"

Then he said to Du Yi:

"Marquis of Break, today I order you to blast out all these troublemaking ministers"!

Du did not forget to reply:

"Minister, obey"!

Then he ordered the Imperial Forest Army to start arresting the ministers!

Seeing this, Yang Yanhe directly took off his official hat and threw it on the ground, laughed loudly, and said:

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I am really the only one I have seen in the Ming Dynasty who dares to despise hundreds of officials, and I, Yang Yanhe, will not do this first assistant"!

Then he took off the official mansion directly in the hall and walked out of the Taihe Palace, and no one dared to stop the Imperial Forest Army!

At this time, Zhu Houzhao ordered Du not to forget and let the Imperial Forest Army withdraw!

After the Imperial Forest Army left, all the officials in the audience were frightened and saw that Shoufu Yang Yanhe had calmed down just now!

Zhu Houxi announced:

"Retire from the dynasty, this matter will be discussed another day"!

Then invite Du not to forget to go to the imperial study!

It turned out that Zhu Houxi had long expected that there would be chaos in the court today, and ordered Du in advance not to forget to temporarily take the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and take hundreds of Royal Forest Army to ambush in the Taihe Hall to protect himself!

After coming to the imperial study, Zhu Houxi said to Du Yi:

"Big brother came out in such a timely manner, I was a little at a loss for that scene"!

Du did not forget to reply:

"Your Majesty, you have planned first, I must have found the right time!"

Then he asked back:

"I don't know if the second brother plans to solve the matter of Shoufu Yang Yan and today?"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"I'm also having a headache, if I really allow him to resign, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will talk about me, if I persuade him, he won't resign, what should I do"!

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yang Shoufu has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, I think it is better for His Majesty to persuade him personally, maybe he will be more restrained in the court after today's events"!

At this time, Zhang Xuan next to him suddenly walked in and said:

"Our purpose is to get rid of Yang Yanhe, the thorn in the side, today he took the initiative to resign, of course we have to be approved"!

Then he said:

"Your Majesty can go to Yang Yanhe's house with great fanfare to comfort and persuade him to stay, and I will arrange it when the time comes, to ensure that Your Majesty's face is in place, not to lose people's hearts, and to force Yang Yanhe to leave Beijing immediately"!

Then he discussed with Zhu Houxi, Du did not forget to see this, and thought about it, although he didn't like Yang Yanhe, but Feng Niang, who was like a confidant with him, was Yang Yanhe's adopted daughter, so he directly said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the Hou Mansion!

Unexpectedly, the next day, Li Fuxing came to Du Bu Bu Hou's Mansion early in the morning, and Du Bu Bu just got up at this time!

Li Fuxing said:

"Your Majesty and Zhang Shilang have decided, they will go to Yang Yanhe's mansion to persuade them to stay later, and I will let you go to protect the emperor!"

Du did not forget that he could not shirk himself, and hurriedly came to the gate of the palace with Li Fuxing.

After a while, Zhu Houxi's sedan chair came out of the palace, and Du Yiyi followed him all the way to a magnificent mansion, which was naturally the Yang Mansion.

At this time, the people in Yang's mansion reported that Yang Yanhe was sick and was lying on the bed!

As soon as Zhu Houxi heard about it, he hurriedly ran into Yang Yanhe's room with Zhang Xuan and Du Yiyi.

At this time, Yang Yanhe's face was pale, and he was lying on the bed weakly, while Feng Niang was waiting.

Seeing this, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but think that Yang Yanhe, who was still in high spirits and domineering yesterday, actually looked like this after not seeing him for a day, and hurriedly condoled:

"Master Yang, what's wrong with you?"

This is Yang Yanhe, who held up twice but didn't sit up, Feng Niang hurriedly went to help him, leaned up a little, and then said in person:

"The minister is old, he is useless, he can't share his worries for Your Majesty, the minister just wants to go back to Shu to see the last look before he dies"!

Then he pointed to the side Feng Niang and said:

"This is my righteous daughter's nickname Feng Niang"!

Zhu Houxi hurriedly went to personally help Yang Yanhe and said:

"You are an old minister of the three dynasties, and you are the first assistant of the two dynasties, how can you say such depressing words, I believe that your health will definitely improve in a few days"!

Then he looked at Feng Niang on the side, and realized that it was Feng Niang who he had met together in Wudang, so he asked:

"Feng Niang, we haven't seen each other for a few years, I didn't expect you to be the righteous daughter of Yang Enshi, but Feng Niang is getting more and more beautiful now"?

Feng Niang replied:

"There have been many things to deceive the emperor before, and I hope you don't blame the cheap maid!"

Zhu Houxi asked Feng Niang:

"I wonder what disease your stepfather had?"

Feng Niang replied:

"An imperial doctor came to check it, but it was just a severe wind chill"!

Zhu Houxi immediately instructed the outsiders:

"Hurry up and bring the best imperial doctor and the best medicine in the palace to the teacher"!

Then he said:

"Feng Niang, let's go out and talk, so as not to disturb the teacher's rest"!

Several people came to the hall by themselves, Zhu Houxi looked at Du Buyi and Feng Niang, and asked Feng Niang:

"What is the relationship between the two of you now?"

Feng Niang replied:

"Your Majesty, you know, I and Marquis Du are just friends!"

Zhu Houxi smiled and asked again:

"Is it really a friend's relationship? my harem is now short of concubines!"

Du did not forget to come out at this time and said:

"We are confidants and friends, but Feng Niang is willing to serve the old man by Yang Shoufu's side for the rest of her life"!

Zhu Houxi looked at the embarrassed expressions of the two, and understood a little, so he replied:

"I also wanted to try you just now, it seems that you are still not so simple, I have the beauty of the world now, how can I take away my brother's love"!

Then I walked around the house again, and left with Du Yixin and a few people!

When Du didn't forget to leave, he naturally turned his head and secretly glanced at Feng Niang, but he didn't expect Feng Niang to also look at him!

After a few people left, Zhang Xuan secretly returned, and then handed over a handwritten letter from yesterday's Xia Yan accusing Yang Yanhe and the emperor to Feng Niang!

After Zhang Xuan left, Feng Niang took these two objects and walked into the room, Yang Yanhe immediately got up and stood up, it seems that Yang Yanhe is also pretending to be sick!

Yang Yanhe took Feng Niang's hand and looked at it, fell to the ground angrily, and then picked up the emperor's handwritten letter, only to see that it was written:

"I have found out that all the crimes committed by the teacher have been true, if the teacher has the heart, he can immediately return to his hometown to recuperate, I will no longer hold him accountable, if not, I can use this to destroy the ten clans of the teacher, I hope the teacher will consider himself, and don't make any more noise"!

On the side, Feng Niang also came over to take a look at what was written in the letter, and said angrily:

"I didn't expect this emperor Zhu Houxi to be so insidious and hypocritical now, and he just advised you to recuperate, so he will give such an order now!"

Yang Yan sighed and said:

"Feng'er, in fact, I expected that on the day Zhang Xuan returned to the court, I was already planning to return to my hometown and return to Shu, after all, I am old and can no longer withstand this court turmoil, the day before yesterday, I resigned from the court and made a big fuss, let's leave tomorrow"!

Feng Niang replied:

"It's good to stay away from this place, in fact, I wanted to accompany your father-in-law back to my hometown to live a peaceful life!"

Yang Yanhe asked again:

"I see that Du Yi next to the emperor seems to be looking at you very ambiguously, do you have anything to do directly?"

Feng Niang replied:

"I'm just friends with him, it's all gone"!

Then he helped Yang Yanhe back to sit on the bed and said:

"Father-in-law, you are old, take a good rest, I will arrange for you to return to your hometown tomorrow!"
