Chapter 160: Yang Lin, the counselor who pleads for the people
It's already freezing cold in Bianliang, but the room is as warm as spring.
There is a built-in copper cauldron in the room, and the smokeless charcoal emits bursts of heat. There are many maids wearing beautiful robes, half hot and half nervous, with small beads of sweat on their foreheads.
They stood in front of a big bed. On the bed was an old man with a long beard. His eyes were elegant and restrained, and his face was calm and intimidating.
The old man had a gloomy face. It was Han Zhongyan, the right minister of the Song Dynasty. On the bed under his eyes, a young man with mutilated flesh and blood lay. He had been unconscious for so long, with purple and blue wounds all over his body. If it weren't for several nursing homes,
You tried your best to protect him, but he was already a corpse at this moment.
"Pang'er, is he really going to mess with other people's wives?"
Kneeling on the ground were three disabled nurses and two housekeepers, all trembling.
One of the older students said with a grimace: "That day Jiulang went to the temple to offer incense, and somehow he fell in love with Chao Li's wife. He heard that something happened to Chao Li a few days ago, and Jiulang thought..."
"explain!"
"After Jiulang got the letter, he thought of coercing Mrs. Wang. Who knows, when he came to visit today, there were suddenly some burly guards in his house. Those people were very good at punching and kicking, and they came here to beat people to death without even starting a move.
The little people of Mercy tried their best to protect Jiulang and escaped. Eight servants died. After they came back, they were seriously injured and could not be saved, and another one died. Only then did they save Jiulang."
"Chao Li was arrested by the Kaifeng government office. Will Zeng Bu's people tell Pang'er immediately?"
Although Zeng Bu and Han Zhongyan had a common enemy, they had been fighting each other for decades. Han Zhongyan understood immediately that this was a trick deliberately set by Zeng Bu.
Unfortunately, the tricked Zeng Bu had no time to close the net, and Yang Lin found out about it, and Yang Lin took advantage of it again.
As an unscrupulous villain, he has long become a breakthrough point for his political enemies to deal with him, and both enemies are targeting him.
If he was used by Zeng Bu, it was just to make him feel disgusted. Now he was used by Yang Lin, a lawless sycophant, and he almost killed his beloved son.
Moreover, it is conceivable that Yang Lin will not stop here.
His target could not be Pang'er, but to use him to criticize me, the right prime minister. Thinking of this, Han Zhongyan snorted coldly: "You idiots, I asked you to take Pang'er to study and read, but I followed you
I've learned a lot about pickling people, come here, drag them out and beat them all to death."
The nursing staff never imagined that after finally escaping with their lives and protecting their own young master, they would be beaten to death.
Several people wailed together, but they were dragged out by a few cold-faced men, and their voices gradually disappeared.
Looking at his unconscious son on the bed, Han Zhongyan clenched his fists. This was a deadly move. The other party was here to kill someone.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the rules established by civil servants have been almost completely destroyed by this new champion.
Rules are rules, which support the scholar-bureaucrats to enjoy this rich, luxurious and romantic era, and they must not be destroyed if they want to.
Han Zhongyan lowered his hands and flicked his eyelids. On this day, the old prime minister officially faced the battle——
The greatest strength of the Jishi Factory is that it can reach Tianting directly at any time.
Outside the Wenhua Hall, Yang Lin took off his coat, leaving only a white bottom shirt, which made him shiver with the cold.
Rubbing his hands and sighing, Yang Lin asked impatiently: "Are you okay? I'm as cold as a grandson."
The two young eunuchs hurriedly tied him with three or four small wooden sticks, which were also firewood sticks obtained from the imperial kitchen.
Yang Lin moved his hands and feet and said impatiently: "Come in quickly, brother, what is your majesty doing?"
Yang Jian covered his mouth and kept laughing. After hearing this, he replied: "I am enjoying singing and dancing with Concubine Zheng. Come in quickly."
A chamberlain had already come in to report that Yang Lin, the young prime minister, was asking for an audience outside the palace. Zhao Ji said with a smile, "I allowed him to rest at home, but he hasn't gone to court for a month. Why did he remember that I'm here today?"
Let him come in."
When Yang Lin came in, the eunuchs, concubines and emperor in the palace looked sideways and were stunned.
Yang Lin knelt down on one knee, cupped his fist and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Ji asked blankly: "Yang Aiqing, what do you mean?"
"I have come to plead guilty."
Concubine Zheng was still able to hold back her smile, while the other maids and eunuchs were holding back their faces until their faces turned red. Every time the Number One Scholar showed up, the palace was never lonely, and it was easy for him to leave something to talk about and become the topic of conversation among the palace maids and eunuchs after dinner.
.
"If you don't tell me, I really don't see it." Zhao Ji found it interesting and asked one more question: "Where does the crime come from?"
Yang Lin thought to himself, this time I want to show off my enthusiasm first, confess my guilt first, and then reveal everything about Han Pang, and add some more information to him. When the time comes, 30% of it is false, 70% of it is true, and there are some bastard things that Han Pang will not admit.
, no one in the world believes in him.
"Your Majesty, I am reporting that my troops from the Long Live Battalion beat the son of Duke Yi Guo to serious injuries at the home of Wai Lang Chaoli, the Minister of Rites."
Zhao Ji felt a little unhappy. He relied on his favor and trust and could not act so wantonly. This time, even if he made a ridiculous apology, I would still punish him.
Zhao Ji frowned and said: "It's ridiculous. Duke Yi is an important minister of the country. Why did your subordinates beat his son? Isn't this a disregard for the law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lin squatted on the ground in the center of the hall and burst into tears.
Zhao Ji became interested and asked: "Why is Yang Aiqing crying so hard? Is there some hidden secret in it?"
Yang Lin wiped his tears, clasped his fists and said, "I'm not crying for myself, but for Your Majesty, and for the millions of people in Kaifeng Prefecture."
Concubine Zheng picked up a piece of candied fruit, stared, and asked enthusiastically: "Crying for them? What are you crying for? Come on, tell me."
The other maids and eunuchs also pricked up their ears. This matter today is so interesting, but they have to listen carefully. When they go out and say that they are present, the other maids and eunuchs will not only listen.
"All the people in the world are your Majesty's subjects. Now, someone is taking advantage of the power of his family to oppress the good and commit all kinds of evil. As a result, the people of Bianliang change their expressions when they hear it, tremble when they talk about it, and everyone is in danger. This person is Han who was beaten.
Han Pang, the ninth son of Zhongyan. Han Pang fell in love with the wife of Wai Lang, a minister of rites in the imperial court, and even ordered someone to slander Wang Yuan Wai Lang as a murderer.
This beast took the opportunity to go to Wang Yuanwailang's home and forcibly defiled the Queen. Fortunately, the Queen was my adopted sister, and I sent someone to protect her. I didn't know that this evil young man turned out to be Jiulang of the Han family. My men injured him.
It was Han Pang who broke into the official residence privately and insulted the official wife first.
After a little investigation, I found out more shocking things.
In the second year of Jingguo's reign, Han Pang raped the wife and daughter of the chief secretary of Xianping County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and beat Mr. Liu and seriously injured him. He died of his injuries soon after;
In the autumn of the first year of Chongning, Han Pang and his servants were traveling in the countryside and met Xu Shiying's family who went to the mountain to sweep their tombs. Gao Deng saw that Xu Shiying's sister, Xu Peizhu, was as beautiful as a flower. He was so lustful that he called his servants to snatch Xu Peizhu back to the house, hoping to take her as his wife.
Concubine Peizhu refused to obey and was placed under house arrest in Yanyang Tower. In the end, Xu Peizhu fell to her death;
In the spring of the third year of Chongning, Han Pang took the guardian to the Daming Mansion area, shot and killed three Orions, and beat the old Orion father to death when he came to ask for an explanation."
Yang Lin said seven or eight things in one breath, some of which were true and false, mixed in. The words made his mouth dry and Zhao Ji became angry.
