There is no doubt that Ren Li's most urgent need now is to save himself.
If he can't even save himself, then everything he says is useless. Therefore, the letter that Ren Li sent out at this time must be related to his self-rescue.
However, this is obviously not the case with Yang Neng's self-introduction letter. After all, the content of this self-introduction letter is more endangering the reputation of the Supreme Emperor.
Zhu Yi didn't believe that at this point, Marquis Ren could still risk his life for the sake of the Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, if nothing else, the focus should fall on the second thing Ren Li said...
Feeling Zhu Yi's burning eyes, Zhang Xi smiled bitterly and said.
"The young master is indeed very clever. Yes, the letter from Marquis Ren also mentioned one thing. This thing may be the most fatal thing."
"At that time, after Marquis Ren moved the Supreme Emperor out, most of Yang Neng's doubts had gone away. However, after all, it was a matter of betting on the Yang family, so Yang Neng was naturally cautious."
"Therefore, he asked Renhou to answer his last question."
"During the court discussion, even if the Yang family takes the lead in opposing it, it will inevitably encounter great resistance. In this case, how can Renhou guarantee that he will not shrink from the battle."
"Yang Neng's original words at that time were that as long as Marquis Ren could give him this reassurance, he would go back and try his best to persuade Yang Hong to die for the Supreme Emperor."
"Ha~"
After hearing this, Zhu Yi almost laughed out loud.
Yang Neng's words sounded nice, but in fact, he was asking Ren Li what reason he had to do to stop the military camp at the court meeting.
If the purpose of moving out the Supreme Emperor before was to make Yang Neng believe that he had the strength to protect the Yang family and to reassure Yang Neng, then if Ren Li answered the following questions without reservation, he would be truly stupid. …
The former is to demonstrate strength, while the latter is to teach others how to handle them. There is an essential difference between the two.
"So, Lord Ren really just handed over his handle?"
"of course not……"
This time, Zhang Xi finally shook his head and said.
"In the final analysis, the situation at that time was that the Yang family was more urgent. Although Renhou wanted to win over the Yang family, he also knew that lowering his profile too much would only allow the other party to gain more ground."
"So, Marquis Ren only said at that time that this was the intention of the noble families, because the rectification of the military camp touched the interests of every family, and he was just a person who was pushed out."
This explanation is the same as what Ren Li told them before, but...
"Yang Neng didn't say much at the time, but Renhou clearly felt that Yang Neng did not believe his words. As expected, Renhou soon got the news. A few days after he talked with Yang Neng, the Gansu army The secret agent of Xuanfu was discovered."
"And, more importantly, the spy who was discovered discovered an old incident."
After saying this, Zhang Xi's face became a little ugly.
Obviously, he was very angry at Ren Li's boldness, but since he opened his mouth, he naturally wanted to make things clear.
So, Zhang Xi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said.
"This matter is related to the Seven Guards of Guanxi. At first, Ren Li was stationed in Gansu. In order to win over his officers, he secretly reclaimed many acres. This matter was later discovered by the Seven Guards of Guanxi, so they sent
I came to Beijing as an envoy and wanted to report to the imperial court."
"At that time, Ren Li was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he simply intercepted and killed the envoy outside the wall!"
"What?"
At this time, even Zhu Yi couldn't sit still. He suddenly stood up from his chair, looked at Zhang Shi in disbelief, and lost his voice.
"Is Ren Li crazy? As a border general, he intercepted and killed tribute envoys without authorization. Does he know that doing so is likely to completely break the relationship between the imperial court and the Seven Guards of Kansai? When the border war breaks out, he will
How can you shoulder this responsibility if you are just a li?"
Although Zhu Yi had never been on the battlefield, he was from a distinguished family and had high hopes from Zhu Yong. Not only was he proficient in bow and horse, but he was not fully familiar with the situation on the border, but at least he had a general understanding of it.
Therefore, he is naturally very clear about the importance of the Seven Guards of Kansai.
Because of this, Zhu Yi was extremely shocked by the news and intercepted the envoys of the Seven Guards of Kansai. If this spread, it would lead to another war.
Zhang Xi also looked helpless, sighed and said.
"Don't worry, young master. Several years have passed since this matter, but it has been found out now. What exactly Ren Hou thought about back then was not mentioned in the letter he sent. However, if nothing unexpected happens,
The clues to this matter have been noticed by Yang Neng."
"Although it was discovered in time, Yang Neng should not have found any evidence, but no one knows whether it was written in his self-report..."
"Ha~"
After gradually digesting the news, Zhu Yi also calmed down, snorted and said.
"The Yang family had already staked all their wealth at that time. With Yang Hong's desperate drive in court discussions, do you think he would not report it to the court because he didn't have any evidence?"
Zhang Xi fell silent. Of course he understood this truth, but he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
However, he obviously knew that this hope was simply unrealistic.
"wrong……"
However, at this moment, Zhu Yi, who was frowning, spoke again.
"Since the person is from the Xuanfu army, how can Ren Li be sure that Yang Neng sent him there?"
"Don't forget, he sent someone to assassinate Yu Qian at that time, and the handle fell into the hands of Yang Xin. Could it be that those spies were sent by Yang Xin to investigate the assassination?"
Faced with Zhu Yi's doubts, Zhang Mi smiled bitterly and said.
"My young father-in-law, is there any difference?"
"Even if Yang Neng hadn't sent him there, if Yang Xin found out about this matter, he would still report it to the emperor. After all, what we should consider now is how to cover up this matter..."
Zhu Yi was silent for a moment, but the next moment, he laughed, looked up at Zhang Shi, and asked.
"Second Master, why should we... cover it up?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yi's voice was a little cold and he said.
"Don't forget, when we first started, we had already planned to make Ren Li irrecoverable. Now that he has such an additional case, wouldn't it be better?"
As Zhu Yi said himself, in front of Zhang Shi, he was not a loyal minister who was loyal to the emperor, but a young prince who worked hard for the rejuvenation of the family.
[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it is available on both Android and Apple.]
At this point, the two of them have common interests.
The fall of Ren Li is a good thing for them, so why should they stop it?
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, looking a little struggling. After a while, the bitterness on his face became stronger, he shook his head and said.
"Young Master, this matter is not that simple. Ren Li can be defeated. Even if the court wants to punish him for assassinating the minister, it can't be defeated because of the matter of the Seven Guards of Kansai!"
"Why is this?"
Seeing Zhang Xi's determined look in front of him, Zhu Yi couldn't help but frown and asked.
He really didn't understand what Zhang Shi meant by his words.
Since they are all trying to bring down Ren Li, what is the crime and what does it matter?
You know, the more charges there are, the more difficult it will be for Ren Li to stand up, which should be a good thing for them!
Zhang Xi's expression flickered, and after a moment, Fang Dao.
"My young master, have you ever thought about why no one discovered such a big event as intercepting and killing the envoy after so many years?"
Zhu Yi thought for a while and said hesitantly.
"Isn't it because the tribes outside the Great Wall are in chaos that Ren Li framed the death of the envoy to other tribes?"
This is not an unimaginable method. It is easy to change places. If Zhu Yi was Ren Li, he would also use such a method.
However, Zhang Xi shook his head and said.
"The letter sent by Marquis Ren wrote about this matter in great detail. According to him, the Seven Guards of Guanxi were already on guard against him at that time, so they did not pass through Suzhou, but took a detour to wait for him to get it.
When the news came out, they had already entered Ningxia."
"The place where he intercepted and killed these people was in a village in the south outside Ningxia City..."
"How can this be?"
Zhu Yi frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"When envoys enter our Ming Dynasty, local officials will report to the court as soon as possible. Although Gansu and Ningxia are not far apart, Ren Li does not control the power of Ningxia officials. Once the court learns that an envoy has arrived, he will definitely send an envoy to the minister.
welcome."
"What's more, if local officials report it to the court, then the Ministry of War will definitely keep a file. If the envoy disappears for no reason, the court will definitely investigate it. How is it possible that there is no news at all?"
Although Zhu Yi was not old, he was almost old when this incident happened. If such a big event really happened, he would not have had the slightest impression.
Zhang Xi glanced at Zhu Yi, sighed again, and said.
"The strange thing is here. Even I have never heard of this matter. The reason was not explained in Marquis Ren's letter. Since I can't see him now, naturally I can't inquire about it. However, since Marquis Ren has mentioned this matter
Since it’s written in such detail, there’s no need to ask anymore about the reason.”
"My dear nephew, you might as well think about it. How many people in the government and the public at that time were able to suppress all news from the Ministry of War and Ningxia at the same time?"
Zhu Yi opened her eyes in disbelief and couldn't help but say.
"What the second master means, could it be that..."
Zhang Xi nodded, but didn't really say it.
There are some things that are difficult to say even if the two of them are talking to each other, but in fact, there is no need to say it, everyone knows it in their hearts.
In the court at that time, there was actually only one person who could do this and had the courage to do it.
After thinking about this, Zhu Yi was still a little unbelievable and couldn't help but ask.
"But, why? In this matter, Ren Li is clearly audacious, so... there is no need for the court to protect him!"
This time, Zhang Xi finally shook his head and said.
"It's an old matter, and there are probably very few people who know the inside story. However, if this case is really investigated, there will still be a lot of traces."
"So, Ren Li should be saved if he needs to be saved!"
"At least as far as the current situation is concerned, if he can be rescued, it will be good for us."
When he said this, Zhang Min's face also looked a little helpless, and Zhu Yi even sneered and said directly.
"I'm afraid, this is the biggest reason why Marquis Ren went to great lengths to send the letter and tell everything about what happened back then, right?"
Ren Li is now behind bars, with almost no room for recovery.
After all, no matter what Yang Hong's accusations against him in the court were groundless, it was inevitable that he would be imprisoned, interrogated by the three departments, and thoroughly investigated.
Therefore, the only thing he can count on is that his allies can try to rescue him.
However, Ren Li also knew in his heart that his behavior of concealing the truth and coercing the nobles this time would only cause dissatisfaction among everyone.
Moreover, judging from the performance of various noble families at the court meeting, it is hard for Marquis Ren to believe that they will try their best to save him.
Therefore, if he wants to protect himself, he must give Zhang Shi and others a reason to save him!
Ren Li knew very well that he was not completely irreplaceable to the nobles, and he was not even an unbearable loss to the Supreme Emperor's party.
Therefore, even if these people save him, they will weigh the cost. If the cost exceeds what they can bear, it is not impossible to give up saving him.
Therefore, he took great pains to send the letter out, and told them in detail and without any hesitation what he had done, just to tell them something.
That is, once the investigation into what he committed is carried out, the Supreme Emperor will definitely be implicated in the end.
There is nothing difficult to understand. If we want to confirm Ren Li's assassination of Yu Qian, we must investigate the military camps in Gansu, and then we will find out what happened when Ren Li blocked the movement of the Seven Guards of Kansai. Follow this line
, it was soon possible to find out that Ningxia had a visit from the envoys of the Western Seventh Guards, and everything that followed fell into place.
You know, if this thing is true, then the evidence for this case itself will not be difficult to collect.
After all, when a certain Supreme Emperor held great power, he would not have thought that one day he would fall to the ninth level. Therefore, all he would do was conceal it from the outside world. However, someone must know the truth, and the process of handling this matter
He will not deliberately clean up the traces left behind.
Again, as long as he was in office for one day, he would be able to suppress this matter without being exposed. However, who could have imagined that one day, he would really no longer be in office due to unforeseen circumstances.
In this way, as long as this line is straightened, it is not difficult to collect evidence.
Therefore, Ren Li's intention was very clear. If he wanted to prevent the emperor from using this opportunity to suppress the emperor, Zhang Shi and others had to help him sort out his troubles. They had to prevent the imperial court from investigating the case and find ways to save him.
This is a silent threat. Even if the Emperor learns about this matter, given his old man's character, he will definitely become furious and feel that he has been betrayed.
Ren Li knows all these things, but now that his life is almost in danger, he can still take care of these things.
After all, not everyone has the determination and courage of the Yang family.
This is the best method that Ren Li can think of at this stage, and it is obvious that this method has already worked.
Facing Zhu Yi's slightly contemptuous look, Zhang Xi felt helpless, but still said.
"I know that the young master is not happy, and I am not happy either. It doesn't matter that Ren Li is so bold. At this point, he still dares to use this matter as a threat. It is really hateful."
"But having said that, no matter whether this matter is true or false, we cannot take risks. Therefore, this case should be stopped."
"In fact, just before the young master came, I had already sent people to Gansu and Ningxia, and started to remedy the situation according to what Ren Li said..."
The so-called remedy is actually nothing more than destroying witnesses and physical evidence, and trying to erase a series of traces from the assassination of Yu Qian to the occupation of military villages and the interception and killing of envoys.
After hearing this, Zhu Yi was shocked, but quickly calmed down, looked at Zhang Xi in front of her, shook her head slightly and said.
"Second Master, I'm afraid you think this matter is too simple..."
