Chapter 55: The Wall Falls and Everyone Pushes
Xiao Chenxuan stood up, regardless of whether Pei Zhixing did it intentionally or retreated to advance, and directly took Pei Zhixing's words and said.
"Father, I agree with what Prime Minister Pei said. Yang Shangshu has not educated any of his sons well. How can our country of Chu safely hand over a military department to him? Besides, Young Master Yang Shangshu spends a lot of money every day. I request,
Let Yushitai go to Yang Shangshu's house."
Before Emperor Chu could say anything, Yang Bing immediately gave in. He had really been greedy for money in recent years. One was to make money for my king, and the other was to line his own pockets. If Yushitai was really allowed to come to his home, what else would he do?
Speaking of Emperor Chu, maybe my king will not let him go. Let alone seeking justice for his son and keeping his position as minister, he is afraid that his life will not be saved. Yang Bing adjusted his mentality, mustered up the courage, and loudly asked Xiao Chenxuan
said.
"King Ji, you...what do you mean? I have been an honest official all my life and have been loyal to the Chu State. How could I embezzle the money and food of the Ministry of War? I have worked hard day and night, and I have never done such a despicable thing. I have never thought about my loyalty.
But in exchange for what you, King Ji, said, I am very unwilling to do so."
Then Yang Bing raised his head, held his chest high and arrogant, and said to the Emperor of Chu with a look of death: "Your Majesty, if you say that I failed to manage the military department well, I am willing to take the initiative to give way to someone better. However, if the King of Ji slanders me like this, I will not accept it until I die. Please ask your Majesty."
Don't listen to King Ji's slander against me, please make the decision for me."
Before Emperor Chu could speak, Yang Bing's old rival Xu Jingye also stood up, with a fox-like smile on his face, he bowed his hand to Emperor Chu and said.
"Your Majesty, I agree with what King Ji said, let's go to the Yushitai! If Yang Shangshu is really innocent, why should we be afraid of the Yushitai? I can't believe Yang Shangshu even if I push back and forth.
It’s innocent!”
At this time, Yang Bing wished he could kill Xu Jingye, an old man. This was not to provoke His Majesty! Instead, he wanted to send himself to the guillotine. An uncontrollable resentment surged in Yang Bing's heart. If the situation allowed,
He must kill this old man, but unfortunately, he is afraid that he has no chance. Yang Bing shook his head and stared at Xu Jingye, like a furious lion that wanted to eat Xu Jingye in one bite.
Pei himself shook his head. Yang Bing was afraid that he was really doomed this time. He never thought that King Ji would catch Yang Bing, the idiot son of an old guy who spends money like water every day, and pull it on Yang Bing, even though everyone knew it.
Yang Bing's ancestors left a lot of assets, but they had already been squandered by the young Yang Bing and his brother Yang Tongwen. If Yang Tongwen's housekeeper hadn't had the ability to manage money, he had brought the entire Yang family back from the brink of destruction.
I'm afraid the others have been sleeping in the open air for a long time! There has never been such a generous Yang Mansion, Yang Tongwen
After knowing that the disciple had an affair with his concubine, the housekeeper was beaten to death. Not only did the Yang family begin to decline again, how could they have such money for Yang Jiang to squander?
I and others are afraid that this time they will make Yang Bing, an old man, shut up forever, otherwise Yang Bing will jump over the wall and steal the money of the Ministry of War, which will be very detrimental to the King of Wu! Pei Zhixing thought again and again, walked out again, and asked
Emperor Chu requested.
"Your Majesty, I agree with what King Ji said. It is better to let the veteran lead the Yushitai to be responsible for whether Yang Shangshu is greedy for money and food. This way, Yang Shangshu can be kept innocent."
Pei Zhixing paused and spoke again.
If the old minister is responsible for investigating your matter, it will show that Chu State attaches great importance to officials' greed for money. Secondly, it can give an explanation to the people of the world. Every tax revenue of Chu State is taken from the people and used for their own purposes.
To the people, instead of putting it into anyone's pocket, please ask your majesty to agree to clear Yang Shangshu's name..."
Yang Bing opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face. Pei Zhixing was trying to get rid of the trouble! He was trying to prove his innocence. As long as Yushitai found out that he was even suspected of corruption, Pei Zhixing, an old fox, would never let him
alive.
Pei Zhixing, the old fox, saw that he had fallen into the trap of King Ji and others. Instead of saving himself, he wanted to destroy himself! Yang Bing was very regretful. His son was beaten. Although his foot was broken, his life was still there.
Why do you need to seek justice? This time it is better. He was afraid that he would not be able to save his life. Yang Bing was very unwilling and opened his mouth to tell Pei Zhixing.
"Prime Minister Pei, you..."
Pei Zhixing knew that the dog would jump over the wall when he was in a hurry. He immediately said: "Yang Shangshu, my husband is here to restore your innocence. If you don't want to think about you, you should also think about your comatose son!"
After saying that, Pei Zhixing closed his eyes directly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Everyone knows that Yang Jiang is his lifeblood, and so is the old fox Pei Zhixing! In order not to betray my king, he directly threatened himself with his precious son.
But if you really dare to bite out my king, you don’t have to think about it. Your family may really be wiped out. Yang Bing’s face was distorted. He struggled for a while and then calmed down. He was already half a hundred, and he should enjoy what he should enjoy.
After that, I hope that my king’s people can really leave him the only lifeline! Otherwise, he will not let my king go. Pei Zhixing, the old fox, and others, thinking of this, Yang Bing feels that he has never been so relaxed.
.
At this time, people from King Wu's faction also stood up and said to Emperor Chu: "I agree that Prime Minister Pei will lead the Yushitai to visit Yang Shangshu's house."
Yang Bing turned to look at his former colleagues. Before today, everyone was respectful to him and did not dare to speak loudly. But at this time, everyone seemed to want to draw a clear line with themselves. The ancients never deceived themselves.
When the wall falls and everyone pushes it down, this is the truth!
As the king of a country, the Emperor of Chu would naturally have a steelyard in mind for anyone who embezzled or accepted bribes. Since the steelyard was off and someone pointed it out, it was necessary for him to balance the steelyard. What's more, if he dared to embezzle money and food from the Ministry of War, this would have a bearing on hundreds of people on the frontier.
Concerned about the life and death of thousands of fighting troops, Emperor Chu's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice.
"Huh? If there is corruption in the Ministry of War, we must take precautions. I agree, and Yang Shangshu does not need to be afraid. I believe that Yushitai will be fair and just. This matter is for nothing, and I will definitely pay you back, Yang Shangshu.
If you are innocent, Prime Minister Pei, I will trouble you. As long as the result is achieved, fine, that's it! Retreat from the imperial court!"
Obviously, Emperor Chu knew about the embezzlement of money from the Ministry of War, but he never investigated and dealt with it. Judging from Emperor Chu's appearance, someone suggested that they must investigate to the bottom of the matter. Even Pei Zhixing felt guilty at this time. If
I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to His Majesty if we uncover a few poisonous bugs from the Ministry of War!
"My Majesty, I have received the decree. Please rest assured. I will investigate strictly. I will not unjustly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go."
Pei Zhixing looked embarrassed. He had captured Yang Bing, and also wanted to capture some crucial figures in the Ministry of War. He was very distressed. These were the backbone of King Wu! They were Yang Bing, a good-for-nothing father and son. Who could he offend?
I just wanted to mess with that King Ji. I really thought that King Ji was just a piece of paper and I could pinch it as much as I wanted! He sighed, and together with the people from Yushitai, they carried Yang Bing and walked towards Yang Bing’s Mansion.
go.
And Xu Song, who was nervous, heard the word "retreat from the court" from Emperor Chu, and felt like he was being pardoned. Didn't he agree to let himself and the two brothers of King Ji confront Yang Shangshu? Before he said a word, this
That’s it! I’m very happy.
After relaxing, Xu Song realized that his whole body was already wet with sweat. He turned around and looked at his father. Only then did he realize that his father was very disappointed with him and said apologetically.
"It's my first time to disappoint my father. It's my first time to experience this kind of thing, so I'm a little nervous. I believe that I will be cautious when encountering such things in the future."
"Huh? There's still next time." Xu Jingye was very disappointed with his son. He was really infuriating. Look at King Ji, he looked calm and composed. He didn't take him seriously at all, and even collaborated with himself and others.
