Later that day, Yang Tingyi was transferred from the Criminal Prison to Fusi, Beizhen, and was to spend the night in the Jinyiwei Prison.
Yang Tingyi was arrested by Jin Yiwei, causing an uproar in both the government and the public.
Yang Tingyi's family quickly notified Yang Tinghe of the matter, but Yang Tinghe, regardless of the fact that it was already dark, sent people to Dongchang to inquire about the case, and also sent people to the Ministry of Household Affairs and Dali Temple to inquire about the details of the arrest, hoping that Dongchang would arrest the person.
On the grounds that it complied with the court's laws, Dongchang was asked to release him.
But as more news reached Yang Tinghe's ears, Yang Tinghe learned that everything was in accordance with the rules when Dongchang investigated the case.
Someone participated in the impeachment and left a record with the Third Judiciary Division, so they went to arrest the person. They were polite throughout the process, did not use violence, and gave both parties a chance to stand down.
Because Yang Tinghe could not see the emperor at this time, nor could he see Huang Jin, the owner of Dongchang Factory, the case could only be postponed to the court meeting the next day.
…
Zhu Si spent the night outside the palace that day.
He was very excited when he saw Zhu Hao.
For Zhu Si, being able to deal with Yang Tinghe's younger brother reasonably and legally was another great victory in his life after the throne fell from the sky and hit him. Although Zhang Zuo, Huang Jin and others frequently poured cold water on Zhu Si, it probably meant that
This case should be stopped at an appropriate time, and should not cause too much trouble.
But Zhu Si still hopes that Zhu Hao can investigate the case to the end.
"...Don't the Yang family pride themselves on being upright and upright? How can they preside over the affairs of the court if they don't even look down on their younger brothers? Do you think I will let them go so easily? Zhu Hao, tell me, how much money has the younger brother surnamed Yang embezzled?
Is it enough to punish him with death?"
Zhu Si wanted to use Yang Tingyi's crimes to scare Yang Tinghe and the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China.
Zhu Hao shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, some things are not as simple as listed on paper. Although Yang Tingyi had a bad reputation when he was in the Ministry of War, direct evidence of corruption and bending the law is difficult to obtain."
"What's going on? You're taking bribes and bending the law. Is there any evidence left?"
Zhu Si seemed difficult to understand.
Zhang Zuo said from the side: "Isn't this... no one dares to stand up as a witness?"
Zhu Si said angrily: "There must be physical evidence, right? Can't a large amount of money be copied from his house? So we can't convict him?"
These words are questioning Huang Jin.
Huang Jinwei said: "Your Majesty, under the orders of Mr. Zhu, the residence of the criminal Yang Tingyi was not confiscated, so... I don't know how much money he had in his house."
"Really..." Zhu Si was a little speechless, and then looked at Zhu Hao, "So this time we are just trying to scare the tigers, and we can't kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, right?"
Zhu Hao sighed helplessly: "It's good if you can knock the mountain to scare the tiger. If you really want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, aren't you afraid of driving the monkey to the mountain?"
"Bullshit! Even if a monkey goes to Liangshan, he can't hold up the banner of justice for heaven. I still don't believe it... Humph!"
Although Zhu Si was angry, when he mentioned the contents of Water Margin to Zhu Hao, his tone relaxed unconsciously.
After all, Zhu Si was also in a moment of righteous indignation and was not ready to completely break up with Yang Tinghe.
However, Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin were not very knowledgeable, so they were stunned for a while, wondering where this was going? How could they be forced to go to Liangshan to do justice for heaven? Is there any unknown allusion in this?
Just as he was talking, Luo An came in from the outside and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang Ge sent people to the Ministry of Punishment to inquire about the case, and then sent people to the east to seize the factory area. He wanted someone to release his brother, but he was told that he was in Jinyiwei.
After Beizhen Fusi, he may... go to ask for someone."
Zhu Si said angrily: "Have you given him face? You have been imprisoned by ginseng and you dare to ask for someone from me? No, no!"
Zhang Zuo reminded: "Your Majesty, in court tomorrow...I'm afraid..."
"I am suffering from the cold, so I will not go to court early tomorrow. I will stay away from court for the whole day... Remember to notify every minister's home tomorrow morning... As for Yang Tingyi's case, there is no rush to try it... Forget it, I will listen to Zhu Hao in everything!
"
When Zhu Si said this, he looked at Zhu Hao and said, "I want to take a day off and not go to court. Is that okay?"
Zhu Hao nodded: "Yes!"
The simple answer surprised Zhang Zuo.
Zhu Hao actually encouraged the emperor to pretend to be ill and not go to court?
Is this against the duty of a minister?
But Zhu Si and Zhu Hao discussed the matter, and it was difficult for outsiders to intervene, so the matter was settled.
…
…
Yang Tingyi was sent to the Fusi Prison in Jinyiweibei Town, and Yang Tinghe could not ask for the person directly.
I was originally going to mention this matter to the court the next day, but I was told that the emperor suddenly fell ill, and the diagnosis issued by the Imperial Hospital was that he was ill due to hard work for many days. The meaning of avoiding the court was obvious, and he clearly did not want to discuss it with the ministers.
The matter of Yang Tingyi.
The more Zhu Si is like this, the more it shows that Yang Tingyi's case may be severely investigated.
No matter how scheming Yang Tinghe was in the past, he still felt an invisible pressure at this time.
On this day, Zhu Hao, as usual, went to the Hanlin Academy early to study.
He didn't have much to do recently, and the most he met with Yang Shen was to say hello. Yang Shen no longer entrusted him with errands, so he just took a break.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shen went out of his way and called Zhu Hao out of the Hanlin Academy at noon.
"Brother Yongxiu, is something wrong? I heard that something happened... in your house?"
Zhu Hao pretended to be enthusiastic.
Yang Shen shook his head and said, "My uncle is in some trouble...someone is deliberately making things difficult."
Zhu Hao sighed: "Today, there is a rumor among my colleagues that it is a Ke Dao Yan official who participated in the impeachment. The evidence of your uncle's crime is conclusive, but I don't know whether it is true or not. I guess Mr. Yang Ge should have known about this in advance, right? Why... it has ended up in such a situation.
?」
It sounded to Yang Shen that Zhu Hao was very concerned about Yang's family affairs, but in fact Zhu Hao was just making sarcastic remarks.
I can't say that I don't know, I just say what I have to say, I am so straight-tempered, and my personality must be maintained. As for whether you will let me do things... let's talk about it another time.
Yang Shen seemed to have known for a long time that Zhu Hao was so "upright", and when talking to a straight-tempered person, there was no need to talk in circles. He immediately asked straight to the point: "Zhu Hao, I heard that Tang Bohu...that is, your husband, just returned to the capital the day before yesterday. Isn't it better than you?"
Go ask him what he thinks about this case?"
"Isn't this... not good? When it comes to prison matters, if I, a member of the Hanlin Academy, are involved, will it... Besides, even if Mr. Tang was your Majesty's husband before, with his current official status,
He may not be aware of such a major case, is there any use in looking for him?"
Zhu Hao is still so direct.
If you ask me to do something, I will do it. Then who am I? You don’t regard me as one of your own, right? Why should I go to great lengths to complete it for you when you have something to do?
You are a Hanlin editor, and I am also a Hanlin editor. Do you have my superior? Why should I obey your orders? Is it still the troublesome matter of going to inquire about the imperial edict case?
Yang Shen seemed to have known for a long time that Zhu Hao would protect himself and refused to go, so he immediately said: "When the matter is completed, I will definitely thank you greatly."
Zhu Hao pretended to be very distressed: "Brother Yongxiu, it's not that I'm being pretentious and insisting on rejecting it, but there is clearly something hidden in this case. I heard that there was a lot of contention in the court yesterday about the candidates for the Minister of Punishment and the General Constitution, and then something happened
This kind of thing... involves a dispute between the court and the court, and I am a small person, so it may not end well if I get involved."
You, the civil servant faction, can't see that the emperor is deliberately using prison as an excuse, right?
Yang Shen said: "But the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was promoted by the court is also an old minister who was appointed by His Majesty himself. How can it be involved in the competition between the court? Your Majesty's move is really outrageous."
Zhu Hao hesitated for a moment and asked: "Then... Minister Yang was wronged? I heard that from last year to now, there have been many memorials to impeach Minister Yang. Will... we start with this aspect first?
?I'm afraid this kind of thing will never happen without smoke."
"Jingdao, what do you mean?"
Yang Shen glared at Zhu Hao, as if he thought Zhu Hao was maliciously slandering his uncle.
Zhu Hao shrugged and said, "Let's talk about the matter. Even if I go to see Mr. Tang, you still have to tell me what I want to ask, right? The reason why Yang Shilang was imprisoned is very clear. As for how to arrest Dongchang and Jinyiwei, I guess Mr. Tang
I don’t know…what else can the result be?”
"Ask whatever you can."
Yang Shen was a little impatient. He was about to walk away when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said apologetically: "Don't listen to the slanderous words of the imperial court about my uncle. He thought he had never made any achievements, but he definitely wouldn't."
You are complicit in the sycophancy of court women. But you are right, there is no smoke without fire. If you can ask anything, I will help you...I will ask you again later."
…
…
Yang Shen's attitude towards Zhu Hao went through a turning process.
But overall...
Yang Shen still regarded Zhu Hao as a friend. He would get angry when he spoke with a bad attitude or heard some unpleasant words from Zhu Hao. But when he calmed down, he would put down his face and apologize to Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao did not seek Yang Shen's respect, he just wanted to obtain equal power.
You can ask me to do things, but you can't show off your face and make it seem like I'm relying on you. We can talk about friendship, but you can't talk about a superior-subordinate relationship to me.
Zhu Hao went to see Tang Yin.
After Tang Yin learned about Zhu Hao's intention, he was very surprised: "You were originally responsible for the case. Why did you just answer him? Do you have to pretend to ask me for instructions?"
Tang Yin didn't know anything about this matter.
Yesterday, when Zhu Hao, Zhu Si, Huang Jin and others were making arrangements, Tang Yin was busy dealing with matters at Huangzhuang.
Tang Yinzheng felt that he was doing two jobs for one job and was terribly tired. However, he found that Zhu Hao was still coming to "make trouble", so he naturally had a bad look towards Zhu Hao.
Zhu Haodao: "It's just a pretense. What if Yang Yongxiu sends someone to follow me to see if I really come to ask you? I didn't intend to pay attention to him at first... When Mr. came back, he didn't go to meet Princess Ning?"
"Watch what you call me."
Tang Yin scolded him with a straight face, and subconsciously looked out the window. At this time, they were in a small tea shop with only him and him. This tea shop did not have a second floor, and there was no strange or suspicious person waiting outside. Tang Yinsong
After taking a breath, he shook his head and sighed, "I'm so busy, I can't take care of it!"
"Hehehe..."
Zhu Hao kept laughing.
Tang Yin was a little confused after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but said: "You kid, what are you thinking? Even if the person who runs the Yang family is just the younger brother of Mr. Yang Ge, he is still connected by blood. It's easy for you to play with fire!"
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I didn't ask anyone to torture Yang Tingyi. Someone in the court participated in the impeachment. Isn't it a good thing to go to Dongchang to check and clear Yang Tingyi's innocence? Isn't it a good thing that someone must criticize and just ignore it?
Do you show respect to the veterans of the court? I am helping Mr. Yang Ge and his younger brother, why are you just playing with fire?"
"I'll ask the Jin Yiwei to send someone to inform Mr. Yangge later, saying that as long as the investigation is correct, he will be sent back to the house! To knock the mountain to shake the tiger, you don't have to hit it with a hammer!"
