Since there have long been rumors in the court that the Yang family may be regarded as the flag sacrificers in ordering the military camp, naturally some people will speculate on how the Yang family will respond.
Finding a scapegoat is naturally a good way, so it is not a strange thing for Yang Hongla to commit suicide.
But, who can explain what is going on now?!
You know, in everyone's expectation, even if Yang Hong wants to impeach Ren Li, it is only to make him a scapegoat so that the Yang family can successfully escape from the rectification of the army.
But what is the situation now?
Yang Hong's attitude does not mean that he wants to exchange his gifts for himself. He clearly wants to perish together with the other party.
Where did the deep hatred between the Yang family and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion come from, so much so that they would fight to the death against me?
It has to be said that Yang Hong's decisive attitude not only calmed the ministers present, but even Ren Li himself felt confused.
He didn't even think about how he provoked the old guy Yang Hong, so he looked like he was going to fight for his life as soon as he got up...
Of course, what makes Ren Li even more alarmed is why no one from other Xunchen families has come forward to speak up until now.
However, now in front of Fengtian Gate, on top of Danqi, he had no choice but to keep looking at Jiao Jing and others aside.
In this silence, the emperor finally finished reading the two memorials submitted by Yang Hong.
Immediately, the ministers who were closer felt that the atmosphere around them was chilling...
The emperor is angry!
"That's right, Marquis Changping, I allow you to be in the court and confront Marquis Ningyuan!"
Yuyin descended with heavy power.
Although his tone was calm, it could not hide the strong murderous aura that hit his face.
So the officials stood up and returned to the civil and military ranks.
In the middle of the large Danchi, only Yang Hong and Ren Li stood facing each other.
This time, Ren Li spoke first and asked.
"Marquis Yang has just impeached me for various serious crimes, and I have sworn it with all my heart. I wonder where in the world I offended Marquis Yang, so that Marquis Yang was so excited in front of all the ministers?"
As soon as he spoke, he had bad intentions.
The implication is that Yang Hong wanted to kill Renli out of personal enmity.
This is not a hard-to-see trap.
At this point, the two sides were already at war with each other, so Ren Li didn't have to hide his hostility and let go of his resentment.
However, what was unexpected was that Yang Hong followed the conversation and sneered.
"How did you offend me?"
"Isn't Marquis Ren not clear in his heart?"
Although they knew it was inappropriate, the strong gossipy atmosphere in these two sentences still made all the elders present immediately prick up their ears.
Now, Yang Hong seems to be willing to take the risk, taking a step forward and saying.
"Since His Majesty ordered the two of us to confront each other, in front of all the civil and military ministers, I will speak carefully about you, the great thief of the country, today!"
After all, Ren Li was a respectable person. Being pointed at his nose and scolded like this made his blood boil and he almost wanted to throw his fists.
But, after all, he was in front of the emperor, and to be honest, although Yang Hong had lingered on the sickbed for a long time, he had been a powerful person for many years. At this moment, his back was as straight as a green pine, and his pair of tiger eyes were quite intimidating.
After all, Marquis Ren was getting older. Although he was filled with anger, he finally suppressed it and sneered.
"Okay, then I will listen attentively. In front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials, let's see how Yang Hou confuses right and wrong!"
Yang Hong remained motionless, obviously prepared for it. Before he knew it, he had two more letters in his hand.
In full view of everyone, Yang Hong opened the envelope, first showed it to everyone, then handed it to the chamberlain who had already arrived at the imperial steps, presented it to the emperor, and said.
"Your Majesty, these two letters are letters home from my nephew Yang Xin. One of them is from when the Supreme Emperor was stationed in Xuan Mansion, and he wrote something in the letter."
"At that time, Ningyuan Marquis Renli went to the Xuan Mansion to meet the Queen Mother in accordance with the decree of the Holy Emperor. He visited his nephew Yang Xin. During that conversation, Renli revealed to his nephew that Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was secretly inspecting the military camps in various places. Unexpectedly,
We are about to arrive at Xuan Mansion on the 2nd, and when the investigation is completed, I am afraid that the imperial court will organize all the frontiers and remind my nephew to make preparations in advance."
Yang Hong did not disappoint the elders present. As soon as he opened his mouth, a big melon was handed out.
The courtiers immediately started talking about it, and there was a low murmur.
It should be said that by now, the courtiers had already known that Yu Qian's initial patrol was to investigate the case of arms reselling in Luotong, but the actual purpose was to investigate the military settlement.
However, no one expected that the game surrounding this matter would start so early.
If what Yang Hong said is true, then it means that before Yu Qian returned to the capital and the court had not yet given any signal to rectify the military garrison, at least a group of ministers headed by Ren Li had already prepared the plan in advance.
I guessed the court's intention.
Looking at it with such a premise, many ministers looked at Ren Li and immediately became more vigilant.
If this is really the case, then Ren Li, who has come out to oppose the Ministry of War's memorial, must have had a plan and a back-up plan!
However, Ren Li would naturally not acknowledge this matter.
Although he was a little surprised that Yang Hong dared to tell the matter so openly, Marquis Ren's reaction was not slow at all and he sneered.
"That's nonsense. I did visit Yang Xin, but I never mentioned anything about the military garrison. At that time, I was focused on guarding the Supreme Emperor when he returned to the capital. However, I paid a regular visit to the deputy commander of the guard, but I never thought that I would be attacked by Yang Hou.
Such a false accusation is simply ridiculous!"
Faced with Ren Li's denial, Yang Hong was not angry at all and just said:
"There is a letter from my family here. When did Marquis Ren arrive at the General Military Mansion? Every word of what he said can be verified. It is useless to deny it!"
However, Ren Li was not so easy to handle and asked directly.
"Yang Hou also said that this is a family letter from your Yang family. How could you know that you and your nephew weren't colluding to forge family letters to frame me?"
Hearing this, Yang Hong's face turned cold and he looked at Ren Li, making the latter's scalp feel numb.
However, it only took a moment before a smile appeared on Yang Hong's face and he said.
"It doesn't matter if Marquis Ren doesn't admit it. As you said, this letter is a home letter written by my nephew. If you insist that we forged it in tandem and framed you, that's all."
"It's just that what I want to ask is, how should Marquis Ren explain this letter?"
As he spoke, Yang Hong opened the second letter and showed it in front of everyone.
Unlike the previous letter home which was detailed and dense, the content of this letter is very simple.
Although it was still unclear what was written on it, some ministers who were close could see at a glance that at the signature of the letter, there was a small private seal that belonged to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion!
After delivering the letter to the chamberlain again and presenting it to the emperor, Yang Hong turned around, looked at Ren Li, whose face was as dark as water, and asked.
"When my nephew Yang Neng first came to Beijing, he was banned from the palace because of the incident involving his bad son Yang Jun. On the day when the ban was lifted, he immediately received a letter from Marquis Ren, asking him to come to the palace to explain."
"This letter was left by my nephew Yang Neng before he left the capital. It is stamped with Marquis Ren's private seal, and the letter is also in Marquis Ren's own handwriting."
"Well, does Marquis Ren also want to say that I am forging it?"
"If not, then please ask Ren Hou to explain in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials why my nephew Yang Neng has just been lifted from the ban. Is it possible that he is invited to come to the palace to have a talk? It is also a matter of etiquette.
