"What? Yang Yiqing, do you think this punishment is wrong? Are you questioning me and the queen mother?" Zhengde also raised his eyebrows, as if he was angry. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Weichen ......" heard Zhengde directly call himself Yang Yiqing, obviously determined to remove himself, and he was also speechless at the moment.

Zhang Yong, who worked with him, couldn't sit down anymore at this time, so he immediately got up and stepped forward to defend Yang Yiqing. Unexpectedly, before he moved, Zilong whispered and sounded in his ears: "Zhang Gong, don't be impatient! This is just Liu Jin's trick to surround and send reinforcements, the more people we jump out, the more we are afraid of being implicated!"

On the contrary, as long as we wait and see what happens, we will not be blamed, and the blame will be self-defeating. As for Brother Yang, you don't have to worry about him, although there are some blows, but I think Brother Yang can hold on!"

Zhang Yong is not a stupid person, so he can naturally see some of the situation, calm down, analyze it, and find that it is almost as Zilong said, so he couldn't help but put out the idea of getting up, just looked at Yang Yiqing, and secretly sweated for him.

Zhang Yong didn't come out here, and Yang Tinghe was also dissuaded by the alert Li Dongyang, and for a while, in the entire Fengtian Palace, there was no one who could stand up and defend Yang Yiqing.

The huge hall was extremely silent for a while, forming an extremely strong contrast with the bustle and noise outside. After a while, seeing that no one defended Yang Yiqing, Empress Dowager Zhang was also a little impatient, so she was ready to read out the scene of the meeting between the important ministers and Zilong on the letterhead, and then ask the guilty one by one.

Unexpectedly, in the class of meritorious nobles, one person got up, walked out slowly, and when he arrived at the bottom of the collapse, he saluted and said: "Slow down, my brother has a book to play!"

After finishing speaking, this person looked at Empress Dowager Zhang for a moment, and did not back down at all. And when Empress Dowager Zhang saw this person, she couldn't help but change her face, and said with some surprise: "Brother Xingwang, what are you doing here? This is a major matter of the court and politics, and it has nothing to do with you, so quickly retreat!"

In the early years, Emperor Hongzhi was alone and frightened. Finally, after Emperor Xianzong Chenghua was established as the crown prince, other concubines in the palace gave birth to princes one after another, and Xingwang Zhu Youqi was one of them.

Although he and Emperor Hongzhi were not born to the same mother, Emperor Hongzhi was extremely concerned about every younger brother and sister, especially Zhu Youqing, who was smart and clever, and extremely kind, and knowledgeable, won his most favor.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang has some problems, she loves Emperor Hongzhi very much, loves the house and Wuxia, and has a very good relationship with Zhu Youqi, the king of Xing.

It turned out that when Zhu Youqi was in Beijing, she often rewarded him constantly, and even after King Xing asked to change the fief, she asked him to get the feng shui treasure of Anluzhou.

In the end, he gave Zhu Youqing, one of the nine important weapons of the country. It can be seen how she cares about Zhu Youqing, and now that Zhu Youqi is suddenly out of the ranks, she seems to be pleading for Yang Yiqing and others, but she is angry and helpless.

"Queen Mother!" Zhu Youqi was actually not in Beijing, but when he heard about the Ningxia Incident, he was extremely concerned about the two parties involved, so he left the fiefdom and came to Beijing, just to attend the imperial banquet.

Originally, he just wanted to see what the fate of the people he cared about was now, but unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to have been provoked by Liu Jin, and after dealing with Li Dongyang, she pointed the finger at Yang Yiqing.

He was originally an admirer of Confucianism, and he also communicated with Li Dongyang on weekdays, but now he saw that his old friends were in trouble, and he knew that they were the real pillars of the imperial court, so he naturally didn't want to see them embarrassed, so he came forward, hoping to see what was written on that piece of paper, so that the queen mother, whom he respected very much, was so angry.

At that moment, he said unhurriedly: "Brother Chen just wants to take a look at the letter in the queen mother's hand and see what is written on it!"

"This can't be done!" Empress Dowager Zhang did not favor Zhu Youqi as much as before, but flatly refused, "These are all state secrets, if they are leaked, I am afraid that they will ......."

"The younger brother guarantees the position of the king of Xing, if the younger brother leaks a few words, the queen mother can directly withdraw the subordinate of the younger brother, and confine the younger brother in Fengyang City for life, without any complaints!" Zhu Youqi didn't want to do this, but he didn't see the letter, but he was uneasy in his heart, and immediately made such a heavy oath.

"This ......" King Xing is after all the royal brother of the Empress Dowager Zhang, although now he is doing this, as if the Empress Dowager Zhang can't get off the stage, but the Empress Dowager Zhang still hesitated for a while, then sighed, handed the letter to Luo Xiang, motioned for him to hand it to Zhu Youqi, and then said, "King Xing, although you are the brother of the first emperor and the uncle of today's son, if you violate your oath, the mourning family must not be spared, you have to think clearly!"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang finally gave in, Zhu Youqi was also very happy, bowed and bowed, and repeated the oath again before stretching out his hands and respectfully taking the letter.

After getting the letter, Zhu Youqi spread it out and hurriedly read it, although he was shocked, his face was extremely calm, and he respectfully returned the letterhead to Luo Xiang before he spoke: "Queen Mother, you want to convict Lord Li and Lord Yang, this should be the matter, right?"

Although what Zhu Youqi said had no beginning or end, all the ministers present could hear it, and they couldn't help but look at Empress Dowager Zhang. And Empress Dowager Zhang also understood what Zhu Youqi wanted to say, and didn't want to entangle with him too much, so she just waved her hand and said: "Liu Gong is responsible for supervising the three factories and one guard, and the three factories and one guard are responsible for inspecting the hundred officials and the people of the dawn of the world, for the eyes and ears of His Majesty! The three factories and one guard have always had the right to hear about things, not to mention, you ask Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing yourself, can you have this matter?"

Zhu Youqi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Empress Dowager Zhang already knew what he was going to say, so he preemptively said it, interrupting his request, and he also smiled bitterly at the moment, and then looked at Li Dongyang.

And Li Dongyang has already understood that today Liu Jin is holding on to the pigtail that he has seen Zilong, and wants to use this to bring himself down. In all fairness, Zilong's identity is extremely sensitive, and if Li Dongyang sees him, with Empress Dowager Zhang's temperament, he will definitely refuse to let go.

After all, in Zilong's real life experience, Emperor Hongzhi had already made a conclusion, and on the condition that Empress Dowager Zhang would not hurt Zheng Jinlian, he covered up everything back then.

It's just that although Empress Dowager Zhang violated the contract, everyone didn't know the agreement between their husband and wife. They all just thought that even Emperor Hongzhi had acquiesced, and others naturally had no way to put their beaks.

So when Li Dongyang saw Zhu Youqi, he glanced at him gratefully, then smiled faintly, shook his head, and signaled that he couldn't deny it.

Seeing that Li Dongyang had already admitted, Empress Dowager Zhang was both angry and happy, and immediately said: "Look, Brother Xingwang, Scholar Li has already admitted the sin on this letter, do you have anything else to say?"

"Brother ......" Zhu Youqi also smiled bitterly, he had also seen Zilong, and he was saved by Zilong, his perception of Zilong was actually much better than Zhengde, and he secretly thought about how good it would be if the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty was Zilong instead of Zhengde.

But he can't say anything about this matter, no one understands better than him, Empress Dowager Zhang's taboo about Zilong's existence, and he also knows clearly that if Empress Dowager Zhang knows that she has something to do with Zilong, I'm afraid that she will also turn her face.

At that moment, he also smiled helplessly at Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing, and was ready to retreat.

Seeing that even King Xing, who was extremely favored by Empress Dowager Zhang, was defeated, Liu Jin and others above the collapsed were all laughing brighter and brighter, but the ministers under the collapsed were all grim.

Empress Dowager Zhang was also quite satisfied with Zhu Youqing's knowledge of advance and retreat, and immediately stopped paying attention to Zhu Youqi, but looked at Zhengde and said: "Your Majesty, there are some things on this that are purely false, but Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing still dare to rely on this idea of nothing, intending to rebel, it is really a crime that cannot be forgiven, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue a decree, remove them, and hand them over to the Three Law Divisions for trial!"

From the first assistant and the governor, to the resignation of the official and the transfer to the three legal divisions for trial, this crime is really a great crime. When these important ministers of Fengtian Hall heard this, they couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

But they don't know what is written on the letterhead, whether they also have their own handles, maybe the Queen Mother is waiting for herself to jump out like Yang Yiqing, and then catch it all.

Therefore, even Yang Tinghe, at this time, he only knocked out his front teeth and swallowed blood, and looked at Liu Jin through gritted teeth, but he couldn't do anything effective to fight back.

Liu Jin is also very happy, Li Dongyang has been in the cabinet since the Hongzhi period. When he took power and overthrew Liu Jian and Xie Qian in a row, he was still like a tumbler in the political arena, and he had always been in the position of the first assistant, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Although Li Dongyang rarely blatantly fights Liu Jin head-on, as long as he is there, then the Qingliu civil officials of the imperial court seem to have a mainstay, and they will continue to fight with Liu Jin until Liu Jin is defeated.

Therefore, in Liu Jin's eyes, the one who has always wanted to get rid of Li Dongyang is Li Dongyang. As long as Li Dongyang is eliminated, the Qingliu civil officials will inevitably be divided and can be broken by Liu Jin, and at that time, he Liu Jin will really grasp the power.

So this time he deliberately wrote part of the facts, and then moved the flowers and trees, and plausibly planted the accusation on Li Dongyang's head, taking advantage of Empress Dowager Zhang's taboo about Zilong's life experience to bring down Li Dongyang.

And even if Li Dongyang clearly knew the problems involved, he didn't dare and couldn't refute it. After all, if you say it, you are really tearing your face with the Empress Dowager Zhang, and Emperor Hongzhi affirms the status of the Empress Dowager Zhang.

Emperor Zhengde was also extremely angry at this time and said: "Okay, since you have confessed to your guilt, then I will issue an order to remove you from the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, remove all official positions, and demote you to a grass people, and leave the capital within three days from now on, there must be no mistake!"
