Chapter six hundred and seventy-four: each has a ghost
But who would have known that Xu Qian had taken the last step and started spreading rumors, saying that Wang Dao had all kinds of irrefutable evidence of his own. At that time, Yang Yiqing didn't understand what Xu Qian's intention was in doing this. From now on, everything has come to light.
The reason is very simple. Yang Yiqing's rumors attracted everyone's attention, and Xu Qian's subsequent rumors were even more incredible.
In addition, Yang Yiqing did not ask anyone to stop these rumors, but instead added fuel to the fire. The final result was that everyone in the capital was convinced that Wang Daozhong had evidence of Yang Yiqing's evil intentions and many crimes. Otherwise, Xu
Why did Qian secretly bring Wang Daozhong to the capital? Otherwise, how could he have a nose and an eye? Otherwise, why didn't Yang Yiqing deny it?
All kinds of doubts have been revealed. Since everyone believes this, then... Then Wang Daozhong died, and the Xu family had an assassin. After a person dies, he can no longer speak, and he can no longer accuse Yang Yiqing of evil intentions, so hire an assassin.
Who kills the king?
I'm afraid everyone can think with their buttocks that this person is Yang Yiqing, and there can be no one else.
Others will ask, everyone in the world knows that Yang Yiqing hired a murderer to kill Wang Daozhong. How could Mr. Yang be so stupid, do it so obviously, and do it so blatantly?
Then, a more reasonable explanation is that Wang Daozhong's possession of Yang Yiqing is real evidence, not real evidence. Master Xu will not go to all the trouble to bring him to the capital, and also properly protect Wang Daozhong. Since it is real evidence
Evidence, and it involves conspiracy, what kind of crime is this? It is a capital crime.
But Yang Yiqing had Wang Daozhong killed. Although many people thought it was Yang Yiqing, there was no concrete evidence after all. Although everyone in the world would accuse him, without evidence, the so-called evil intentions would not be established, and the court could not do it without real evidence.
In the absence of evidence, Yang
Once investigated and dealt with. Compared with capital crimes, being accused by the people of the world is nothing. Even if the people of the world rise up to attack, at most Mr. Yang will serve as an official and return to his hometown to retire. What can you do? But if Mr. Yang does not kill people, then he will die.
Maybe it's because the Yang family is full of people, and it's clear at a glance which one is more important between the two.
This is what Yang Yiqing is afraid of. Now that Wang Daozhong is dead, plus the previous rumors, and Xu Qian's sneaky move to Beijing earlier, he can't be washed away even if he jumps into the Yellow River. Even if the court takes
He had nothing to do, but a cabinet minister who was suspected of killing the governor of Zhejiang Province had no prestige at all. How could he be entrusted with important matters in the palace? How could a man who was a rat on the street still have the nerve to stay in the cabinet?
For cabinet ministers, once their prestige is wiped out, it is basically the end of their career. Now, Yang Yiqing is almost certain that it will not be long before his own career is completely wiped out.
He was dumbfounded and heartbroken. Unless he caught the assassin, he would never be innocent.
At this time, he finally realized how powerful Xu Qian was. In fact, at the beginning, Xu Qian had no so-called conclusive evidence to fight with Yang Tinghe. What should he do without evidence? So he took advantage of Wang Daozhong, because Wang Daozhong did and Yang Tinghe
Yang Yiqing has connections. He brought Wang Daozhong to the capital. It was not
If you want to blame Yang Yiqing, but make Yang Yiqing feel that something is wrong and disrupt Yang Yiqing's position, then Yang Yiqing will definitely wonder if he really made any omissions or if there is really something to blame. Otherwise, how could Xu Qian be so serious?
How could he value this Wang Daozhong so highly?
The more this happened, the more uneasy Yang Yiqing became. When he was uneasy, he had to clear his mind and figure out what Wang Daozhong had mastered. Thinking took time, especially for an old man like Yang Yiqing, in order to fight for
Time, the only thing he did was to silence Wang Daozhong temporarily and scare this person first, but Yang Yiqing's approach happened to hit Xu Qian
It was a trap. Yang Yiqing let the word out, and was quickly used by Xu Qian, who immediately concocted rumors of evil intentions. Suddenly, the relationship between Yang Yiqing and Wang Daozhong turned into mortal enemies, and Wang Daozhong really had real evidence.
Yang Yiqing was destined to be doomed, and when Wang Daozhong died, Yang Yiqing naturally became the target of public criticism and became a murderer accused by thousands of people.
A cabinet minister actually hired a murderer to kill someone, and in order to eliminate evidence of his crime, the person who was killed was a court official. As long as this matter was not clarified for a day, Yang Yiqing would have a hard time.
Yang Yiqing sat on the chair almost powerlessly, feeling helpless. His lifelong reputation was over just like this, and the image he had created all his life collapsed. Suddenly, he turned into an unscrupulous traitor.
And next, Xu Qian will definitely make more moves. This is definitely just the beginning. What will happen to the person named Xu next?
The more Yang Yiqing thought about it, the more terrifying he became. At this moment, he only hated himself for not retreating bravely, and why he had to stay in the first place. Now, everything is already too late, everything is too late... Even if he resigns and becomes an official
, Xu Qian will never give him enough time. What kind of storm will greet him next?!
Yang Yiqing almost didn't dare to imagine it. He didn't dare to think about it and couldn't bear to think about it.
Just at this moment, a eunuch came in and said: "The Chief of Ceremonies has your Majesty's personal decree."
After hearing this, Yang Tinghe came out of the check-in room, but Yang Yiqing was still pale and motionless.
Yang Tinghe glanced at Yang Yiqing. In fact, he knew what happened last night, but he would not care about it, let alone not want to care about it, because he had more important things to do. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he would naturally have a cold side.
If you are not mentally tough enough, how can you possibly preside over the court for more than ten years?
Yang Tinghe said: "What is the decree? Show it to me."
After receiving the imperial edict drafted by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Yang Tinghe's face was calm at first, and then his expression became serious.
Nonsense, simply nonsense. What is the difference between this so-called God-given Duke and the mighty general of the Zhengde period? The Zhengde Emperor was confused, and the Jiajing Emperor was even more confused.
Yang Tinghe was so angry that his hands were shaking. The past events were vivid in his mind. At that time, Zhengde appointed himself a powerful general, controlled the capital camp, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the border towns. It was said that he had overwhelming power. Zhengde was the general, and Jiang Bin was naturally the deputy general.
, Zhengde is the emperor, so it is naturally impossible for him to lead the army himself, so basically all the military power of the Ming Dynasty fell into Jiang Bin's hands, and the consequences can be imagined.
And now, Jiajing has made a so-called God-given public incident, and has also established a world-wide Zhenzhen Zhizhe to control the military and civil affairs of Zhizhe. Although it is just a moderation, it has not reached the level of appointing officials, collecting taxes, and raising troops by itself.
But he can still be regarded as a prince, which is not bad.
"Sui'an, come and take a look!"
Only then did Yang Yiqing wake up. When he heard that there was an official decree, he was startled. He thought that there had been some action in the palace. Even if there was action, it was just a shadow of a doubt. Without evidence, it was impossible to add guilt.
Yes, but you can't be charged, but you can be dismissed from your official position, and you can be dismissed on any charge you want,
However, Yang Yiqing did not want to be dismissed, because once he was dismissed, he would be more convinced of his evil intentions and become a sinner for the ages. He quickly accepted the imperial edict and breathed a sigh of relief. As for Xu Qian's decree to confer this god-given title, if it had been in the past, Yang Yiqing would definitely
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but now, there was no expression on his face.
Does it matter to me how other people are doing? I am about to be infamous, and I don’t have a lot of everything. Xu Qian is just proclaiming emperor, so what does it matter?
He just shook his head and smiled, saying nothing.
Yang Tinghe said coldly: "It's really ridiculous. Sui'an has nothing to say?"
Yang Yiqing said: "It's all up to Duke Yang to make the decision. I'm feeling a little unwell."
Yang Tinghe took a deep look at him and then remembered something. When he thought of this, he immediately thought of what he was about to do.
What does it matter whether the emperor is fatuous or not? What does it matter whether Xu Qian ordered God-given Duke or Tiance to be a general? It won’t take long for the country to change its color. Why do you want to get involved in this matter? It’s like
, someone has cancer, but you still want to be angry, there is no need.
and……
Zhang Tianshi was mentioned several times above. Could it be that... this was Zhang Tianshi's promotion? The more Yang Tinghe thought about it, the more he thought about it. Maybe Zhang Tianshi, like himself, wanted to stabilize Xu Qian and let Xu Qian get carried away. Once he was granted the title, he would
Not only did he have to deal with Yang Yiqing, but there were also countless people who came to congratulate him. Will Xu Qian still be able to get away when the time comes? This... is obviously an opportunity, what else do I have to worry about?
When he thought of this section, Yang Tinghe took a deep breath, put his hands behind his hands, and his face suddenly calmed down.
After thinking about it, he said to Yang Yiqing: "Although it's nonsense, since the emperor's personal decree, the ministers have no reason to object, so I think it's okay to just let it go. During the Zhengde period, he called himself Zhu Shou and proclaimed himself a mighty general.
So what if all the officials in the imperial court argue with each other and argue with each other? In the end, what should be done is just what should be done? The cabinet cannot handle these matters, and there is no need to, so we simply remain silent and let them go."
As for the little eunuch who conveyed the order, he was full of confusion. Not only Yang Yiqing's behavior today was weird, but also Yang Tinghe was so weird. It was as if the things he cared about before suddenly became a joke, and the things he used to be excited about were now.
It has nothing to do with him. This indifferent attitude not only makes people feel incredible, but also feels a bit inappropriate.
What's wrong? Naturally, the little eunuch couldn't tell.
