Chapter 63 Kill Yang Baoyang

In the Daming Palace, in Li Longji's imperial study, Li Linfu was persuading Li Longji for an impeachment memorial from the Censorate. The memorial was submitted by Wang Gong, the chief censor, who impeached Yang Shenjin, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to privately hide the demon Shi Jingzhong, and interpret the prophecy at another house, and there is a family groom who can prove it.

The collusion between ministers and demons was Li Longji's most taboo thing. He had already decided to appoint Yang Shenjin as the Minister of Works, but this happened suddenly, which made Li Longji both angry and confused.

"Is the Prime Minister so sure of this? The Prime Minister really thinks that Yang Shenjin will collude with the demon?"

Li Longji's eyes were staring at Li Linfu tightly, and no one could escape from Li Linfu's eyes or small movements.

Li Linfu bowed calmly and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Shenjin is the descendant of Emperor Yang of the old dynasty. I dare not speak nonsense. But I know that Wang Zhongcheng is a man, he is cautious in his official position, never acts as a censor, and everything he reports is well-documented. Since he impeached Yang Shenjin to hide the demon, there must be evidence. If Your Majesty still has doubts, he can send someone to search his house. If there is a demon prophecy book, you will know if it is a search."

Li Longji walked a few steps behind his back. He knew that Wang Gong would not be able to catch the wind and shadows. Yang Shenjin must have a handle. But he was a little hesitant to send someone to search Yang Shenjin's mansion. He knew very well that once a search was conducted, there would definitely be problems and things would be difficult to recover. Li Longji sighed and said, "Prime Minister, let me think about this matter again and I will give you a reply later."

"I dare not, please think twice, I will give up."

Li Linfu slowly retreated, and the imperial study room became quiet again. Li Longji pondered and said nothing. Of course, he knew that Wang Gong's impeachment of Yang Shenjin was Li Linfu's instructor. This was Li Linfu's elimination of those who dared to betray him.

For Li Longji, Yang Shenjin was not worth worrying about. What he cared about was Li Linfu. Li Linfu was his own good dog. He made great contributions to the eradication of the people around the prince over the years, and may be useful in the future. If he was allowed to overthrow Yang Shenjin, it would be equivalent to rewarding him with a bone.

However, Yang Shenjin is a good chess piece, and it would be a pity to kill him like this. Li Longji was in a dilemma for a while.

He suddenly looked up at Gao Lishi and asked, "General, do you think Yang Shenjin is protecting me or not?"

Gao Lishi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the country has laws and regulations. If Yang Shenjin really hides the prophecy of the demon, he should be severely punished and should not turn a blind eye just because he has talent."

Gao Lishi's statement undoubtedly added an important weight to Li Longji's swaying balance. He nodded and was about to submit a reply to Wang Gong's memorial. At this moment, a eunuch came in to report: "The Chief Censor Yang Zhao has urgent matters to ask His Majesty."

Li Longji suddenly thought about it and put the pen down again.

. . . . . . .

Wang Gong's memorial was extremely secretive, and Yang Zhao, who was also the chief censor, didn't know anything about it. When he discovered from the impeachment records of the censor that Wang Gong impeached Yang Shenjin, Li Linfu had been called into the palace to deal with it by the emperor. Yang Zhao was shocked. The countermeasure he discussed with An Lushan was to support Yang Shenjin to attack Li Linfu. If Yang Shenjin fell, who would dare to betray Li Linfu?

Yang Zhao didn't care about discussing with An Lushan anymore, so he hurried to Li Longji's imperial study room.

"My minister Yang Zhao will meet your Majesty!"

Yang Zhao knelt down in front of the imperial case and worshiped a great ceremony. This is one of Yang Zhao's characteristics. Other ministers bowed and bowed when they saw the emperor, but he was not. Every time he saw Li Longji, he would kneel down respectfully and bow. In his words, he was humble from a humble background but was able to hold a high position. He could only express his loyalty and gratitude to the emperor with great ceremony.

Overall, Li Longji was quite satisfied with this brother-in-law. Although his official experience was a little lacking, it was because he was an official for too short. However, Yang Zhao was very smart, studious and motivated, and versatile, and understanding. With time, he would definitely become his capable right-hand man.

Li Longji smiled slightly and said, "Yang Zhongcheng, what's wrong with asking for me urgently?"

"Your Majesty, I came here to protect Mr. Yang!"

Yang Zhao kowtowed heavily and said, "I just learned that someone impeached Mr. Yang's demon prophecy. I think this kind of impeachment is extremely inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Li Longji asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, a demon must be a demon who harms the country and the people. If you are an ordinary monk, you cannot be a demon. If there is no good or bad thing in your family, it is very normal to have monks and Taoists in your family."

Li Longji didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled and said, "I didn't say that ordinary monks and Taoists are monsters! If I were just ordinary monks and Taoists, I would naturally not pursue them."

"But Your Majesty, as long as you go to Dali Temple Prison, even ordinary monks and Taoists will become demons. Wang Zhongcheng's methods are well aware of."

Yang Zhao burst into tears and kowtowed twice and said, "Let's talk about prophecies, a small book is too easy to destroy, but it is also easy to get it. If the demon pleads guilty, then even if there is no prophecy, there will be prophecies. Does Your Majesty understand?"

Li Longji understood what Yang Zhao meant. He meant that he was chasing and then framed him. Li Longji knew in his heart that as long as he agreed to Wang Gong's impeachment, then Yang Shenjin would definitely be the result. This is the power struggle in the officialdom. The charge was just an excuse for murder. Li Longji did not need the truth. What he wanted was the balance of power.

He looked at Yang Zhao's heartbroken look and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. His brother-in-law has really made progress and dared to challenge Li Linfu.

Li Longji suddenly looked stern and scolded him angrily: "Don't I know Wang Zhongcheng's character? He is cautious in his official position and has always been fair and strict. Is he the kind of person you said to frame? How long have you been an official, you have been jealous of virtuous people and capable, and you are unruly and unruly. You disappoint me too much. I will never allow you to be arrogant today, come here!"

"exist!"

Several large-sleeved and round-waisted guards appeared next to them. Li Longji pointed at Yang Zhao and said, "Drag this person down for me, take thirty sticks in front of Danfeng Gate, remove all his positions, demote him to the magistrate of Wannian County, and disclose his crime!"

Yang Zhao's eyes widened, and he shouted repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I am not guilty! Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Yang Zhao was dragged down by the guards, and Li Longji snorted softly, threw Wang Gong's impeachment memorial on the table and said, "I am tired and I'm going to go back to the palace to rest."

He stood up, swayed his sleeves, and then left.













Under Danfeng's sect, Yang Zhao was pressed down and beaten by more than a dozen guards. He was beaten very slowly with thirty sticks. Every time he hit five sticks, a central envoy read out Yang Zhao's crimes. Yang Zhao shouted loudly: "I am not convinced! I plead for the minister, why are you guilty?"

It was the time of the san Dynasty. Danfeng Gate was crowded with onlookers. Everyone was talking about it, not knowing why Yang Zhao was beaten. After listening to the crimes read out by the envoy, everyone realized that Yang Zhao had disobeyed for Yang Shenjin and falsely accused Wang Gong of framed the minister, removed all his posts, and demoted him to Wannian County Magistrate.

Yang Zhao is usually a dissolute person and is always despised by ministers. However, after this fight, many people felt a little sympathy for him. It was a fact that Wang Gong is good at frameing and framing ministers.

At this time, Yang Shenyu, the young master of the young mansion who passed by Danfeng Gate, was shocked when he heard the news and rushed to his brother Yang Shenjin's mansion.
