Chapter 202 Suppressing the Gentlemen(1/2)
"My husband is really a handsome talent."
Guo Zhao looked at Yang Ling with affection in her beautiful eyes.
Although she had only been to Yang's Mansion for a few days, she felt the true love from Yang Ling and had already been deeply involved in it.
"The little mouth is so sweet!"
Yang Ling smiled, pecked Guo Zhao's lips, then got up and walked out.
Zhao Yun had been waiting in the lobby for a long time. When he saw Yang Ling coming out, the two walked towards the palace together.
Along the way, Yang Ling not only saw Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, but also Han officials such as Yang Biao and Kong Rong.
"Strange, why did the Prime Minister suddenly hold a court meeting?"
"I guess something is a big deal?"
They whispered, their expressions a little confused.
Nowadays, the government and power are all controlled by Cao Cao.
All military, national and political affairs are generally discussed by Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Office with a group of staff.
If nothing big happens, court meetings are rarely held.
No wonder the court officials were confused.
Yang Ling took the lead slightly to Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, and planned to say hello, and then entered the palace together.
In the palace, Emperor Liu Xie sat upright on it.
What Yang Ling did not expect was that Fu Shou was sitting next to Liu Xie.
The two looked at each other, and Fu Shou's pretty face turned red, and he looked away somewhat unnaturally.
Liu Xie noticed the expressions of the two, and gritted his teeth in his heart.
This pair of dogs and women!
But even if it is angry, Liu Xie can do nothing.
After all, Cao Cao was standing in the hall, following two powerful generals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and countless elite soldiers guarding outside the gate.
Seeing that the court officials had already arrived, Cao Cao stood up slowly.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths and the palace became quiet.
"The reason why the court meeting was held today was because a major event happened. Yang Ling, the loyal minister of the court, was also my son-in-law, was actually assassinated these days!"
Cao Cao's eyes were like lightning, looking around everyone present, and said coldly,
Everyone was in a stir and subconsciously looked at Yang Ling.
However, Yang Biao's heart suddenly broke out and a trace of ominous premonition appeared.
"Xun Lingjun."
Xun Yu, who was called by Cao Cao, came out of the crowd and bowed,
"Please give orders to the Prime Minister."
"Tell me, what is the crime of assassinating a court minister?"
"Reporting back to the Prime Minister is like a conspiracy to rebel."
Hearing Xun Yu's answer, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, then his expression changed and shouted sternly,
"Man Chong, capture Taiwei Yang!"
With his order, Xu Duling Man Chong did not hesitate immediately. With a wave of his hand, soldiers outside the door flocked in.
This sudden action really shocked everyone present.
When they came to their senses, Yang Biao had already been arrested.
"Taiwei Yang is a veteran of the three dynasties. What does the Prime Minister mean?"
Kong Rong, who spoke first, stared at Cao Cao angrily.
"Taiwei Yang is loyal to the court, how could he assassinate Yang Ling?"
"That's right!"
Facing the angry crowd, Cao Cao just sneered.
"The school office has found out that the envoy who assassinated Mr. Yang Ling is Yang Xiu, the son of Taiwei Yang! He has been arrested and imprisoned. As his father, Taiwei Yang naturally cannot escape the blame!"
Others don’t know why Cao Pi was kicked out of Xudu, but Yang Biao and his son knew very well.
However, Cao Cao has not made any noise in the past few days, so they have relieved.
But I never expected that Cao Cao would suddenly attack today.
Last night, Yang Xiu did not return all night, and Yang Biao thought his son was drinking and having fun with others until dawn as usual.
Unexpectedly, he was arrested by Cao Cao and brought to prison!
Yang Biao's expression changed!
Looking at everyone's shocked expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
The reason why he wanted to hold a court meeting today and then capture Yang Biao was very simple, that was to tell everyone that if he dared to go against him, Yang Biao would end up!
However, before Cao Cao could enjoy himself for a while, Kong Rong stood up again!
"Even if it was done by Yang Xiu, Yang Taiwei was loyal to the Han Dynasty and had no grudges with Yang Ling. He had nothing to do with this matter!"
Hearing this, Liu Xie and Fu Shou in the hall looked a little embarrassed.
"If the Prime Minister intends to punish Taiwei Yang, I will resign!"
As soon as Kong Rong spoke, the other Han officials responded.
"I resigned too!"
"I hope the Prime Minister thinks twice!"
Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy.
He didn't expect that Kong Rong and others would threaten to be dismissed from office!
Although in Cao Cao's heart, he wished Kong Rong and the others would get out quickly.
But if the court loses them, it will not only lead to difficulties in operation, but will also make Cao Cao famous as jealous.
He took a deep breath and said with a forced smile
"You don't have to be nervous. Please ask Taiwei Yang to go. It's just a matter of investigation. If he really doesn't involve it, I won't make things difficult for him."
With Cao Cao's kind words comforted, the Han officials gave up.
...
When the court meeting dispersed, Cao Cao brought his subordinates back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He just sat down and couldn't help but get furious.
"These Han officials really don't take me seriously!"
After Cao Cao roared for a while, he calmed down and looked at Man Chong on the side.
"How is Yang Xiu's progress?"
"Reporting to the lord, his subordinates tortured Yang Xiu overnight, but although this person admitted to instigating Prince Huan, he refused to admit his connection with his father."
Man Chong replied.
"Even if there is no evidence, I will deal with Yang Biao!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly.
"Yang Biao is famous all over the world. If he is executed without evidence, he will be afraid that the lord will lose the hearts of the people. I hope the lord will think twice!"
Cao Cao was silent for a long time and sighed.
"knew."
Cao Ang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say,
"Although it is impossible to deal with Yang Biao, executing his son is also a punishment for him. Why is his father depressed?"
Guo Jia smiled and explained,
"The young master misunderstood. The lord was not displeased with Yang Biao, but because of the court officials who spoke for Yang Biao today and the gentry behind them."
"What Fengxiao said is not bad at all."
Cao Cao smiled helplessly.
Although he has been using poor families to try to restrict the gentry through various means.
But unfortunately, the power of the gentry was too great.
Cao Cao had to rely on them for the operation of the court and the Han Dynasty.
To be continued...
