Diao Feng left the government office and returned home. He felt that the people in the back house of the government office were too many and cluttered, so he rented a house on the west side of the government office.
As soon as he entered the door, the old servant Diao Qing reported: "Master Yun is here, waiting for the master in the study (1)."
Diao Yun often crossed the river to visit Tangyi to play and gamble, but Diao Feng didn't take it seriously. However, Diao Yun was from the main branch, and Diao Feng did not dare to neglect him.
Seeing Diao Feng enter the room, Diao Yun hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and stood up to greet him.
Diao Feng and Diao Yun had a close relationship. The uncle and nephew often went to the casino together in disguise to "slaughter sheep." Diao Feng thought that Diao Yun was coming to play again, so he laughed and said, "Tomorrow, I will take a break, so we will go to Pingyifang to play together." "
Diao Yun stood up, closed the door, and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew has something important to do here."
The whispers in the secret room were inaudible, and the discussion lasted for more than half an hour before Diao Feng ordered people to light the lights and hold a banquet in honor of Diao Yun.
In the dead of night, Diao Feng sat alone in his study and thought. The news brought by Diao Yun was so comprehensive that he couldn't help but feel nervous.
It is not a trivial matter to impeach Yang Quanqi, the prefect of Tangyi, to the Yushitai for his careless words and deeds and his resentment.
Although the Yang family is weak, it is a famous family after all. If the impeachment fails and they sit back, they will have to explain themselves in this life.
"...Wang Chunzhi hinted that the Wang family would work hard to keep his uncle safe, and if the matter succeeds, he would be recommended as the prefect's Sima."
Diao Yun's words rang in his ears, and Diao Feng's heart started to heat up. He was only the county clerk, an eighth-rank official, while the state Sima was a sixth-rank official. If the Langya Wang family could fulfill their promise, it would be worth taking the risk.
Thinking that Yang Anxuan had ruined a good thing he had done when he first came to Tangyi, Diao Feng gritted his teeth and took the gamble.
…………
The Yushitai is responsible for supervising affairs and having the power to report events based on rumors. It was originally the place where books were stored in the Han Palace. Because the Yushi Zhongcheng was in charge, it was named Lantai or Xiantai.
The chief official of the Yushi Mansion, Yushi Zhongcheng, has a third-rank official position, which is the same as that of all Cao Shangshu. He has the following positions: the Censor of the Book, the Censor of the Palace, the Censor of the Palace, and the Censor of Fujie. The Censor of the Palace has thirteen Cao officials, including Cao Cao is in charge of supervising the promotion and impeachment of hundreds of officials.
Zhou Tang, the direct minister of Cao, came to see Guo Ding, the imperial censor, with a letter of impeachment against Yang Quanqi, the governor of the city. Guo Ding read the report and got up to see Chu Can, the chief censor.
Chu Can was born in Yangzhai, Henan, and was the grandson of the late Lieutenant Chu Pei, the general who conquered the North. Chu Suanzi, the Queen Mother of Kangxian, was his aunt, and Chu Xiuzhi, who was selected as the attendant of the East Palace this time, was his nephew.
The Yushitai was the emperor's eyes and ears. Being at the center of the court, Chu Can was very aware of the goings-on inside and outside the court.
After reading the impeachment letter, Chu Can thought for a moment and waved for everyone to leave.
Patting the impeachment letter, Chu Can chuckled and said to himself: "It seems that Wang Pushe was angry because his nephew was not selected as the Eastern Palace Attendant. Haha, the Langya Wang family is too narrow-minded."
It was a matter of concern to the governor of Tangyi, and Chu Can did not dare to neglect it. He had already thought of his response when he met the emperor the next day.
"Diaofeng, the secretary of Tangyi County, impeached Yang Quanqi, the governor of Tangyi, for being passive and lazy and harboring resentment because of his illness. Long live the decision," Chu Can presented the memorial.
Sima Yao frowned after looking at it and asked, "Is this Diao Feng a member of the Diao family in Rao'an, Bohai?"
Chu Can responded: "Exactly."
Sima Yao was not stupid, he could see something fishy at a glance.
Wang Guobao jumped out impatiently and said: "Long live. Long live the Yang family. The Yang family has shown great kindness. The Yang family does not want to repay it, but actually still harbors resentment. If these unfaithful and unfilial ministers are not severely punished, there will be endless troubles in the future."
Wang Xun knew that he had a grudge with the Yang family. If he didn't crush the Yang family, it would be a disaster in the future.
Regardless of his disagreement with Wang Guobao, Wang Xun went out to play and said: "Long live, Wang Zhongshu Ling's performance is very good. Tangyi is located in the north of the capital, and its position is very important. Yang Quanqi is also in charge of the Stone City army. If he has any resentment, Once things change, disaster will never happen again. Long Live, don’t be careless.”
Sima Yao glanced at Wang Xun, thoughtfully.
Diao Feng is a member of the Diao family. Imperial student Diao Yun quarreled with Yang Anxuan. Wang Chunzhi framed Yang Anxuan in Hualin Garden. Recently, Yang Anxuan was appointed by me to serve as a student in the East Palace. I am afraid that all of this is due to this appointment.
This appointment of the East Palace Attendant was unsuccessful. Both the Langya and Taiyuan royal families failed. No wonder Zhongshu Ling and Zuo Pushe worked together to target Yang Quanqi. The way to employ people is to check and balance. I used Yang Anxuan, and then Yang Quanqi to calm down the resentment between the two kings. Very appropriate.
Thinking of this, Sima Yao said: "Go to the Yushitai to find out this matter and report it to me. If Yang Quanqi harbors resentment, I will punish him severely."
Sima Yao stood up and thought about the matter of attending the East Palace. The Langya family barely had a relationship because of Yang Xin, but the Taiyuan family was not involved at all and needed to be comforted.
He stood still and said with a smile: "Wang Guobao, please follow me to Hualin Garden. I have something to discuss with you."
......... In Hualin Garden, the emperor and his ministers were drinking and chatting. Wang Guobao was good at flattering people, and his words made the emperor smile.
Sima Yao smiled and said: "Dezong is about to get married. Although Jinling has not yet been finalized, Xie Hun looks good to me and is a good match for Jinling. Next is Dewen. Alas, my children are getting older and I am getting older. ”
"Long live the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you say this? I still want to accompany you until you are eighty."
Sima Yao laughed and said: "With the blessings of the national treasure, it will be enough for me to live to be seventy."
Wang Guobao smiled and said: "I have just spoken of Long Live King Langya's marriage. I have a girl who is very smart and smart, and I would like to recommend herself to King Langya."
Sima Yao drank happily and said with a smile: "Very good. When Dewen reaches sixteen, I will accept your daughter as Princess Langya."
Wang Guobao was overjoyed. Prince Sima Dezong was a fool. King Langya would definitely be the ruling prince in the future. He was the invisible emperor. If he could become his father-in-law, he would be destined to dominate the government.
He immediately got up from the table and came to Sima Yao, kowtowed and thanked him: "I thank you for your grace."
…………
What happened in the court quickly spread, and Yang Anxuan was deeply worried. His selection as the Duke of the East Palace had touched the interests of the Wang family. The Langya family and the Taiyuan family actually worked together to deal with the Yang family. They really thought highly of themselves.
During the Chinese New Year, Yang Quan was advised to retreat in order to advance, but his father refused to leave, and conflicts broke out and became difficult to deal with.
Yang Anxuan did not dare to neglect and immediately got up and headed to Tangyi. After being selected as a student in the East Palace, Yang Anxuan no longer has to go to the Imperial Academy to study. The East Palace is busy with the prince's wedding, and there is no need to go there for the time being. This period of time is very free.
Yang Quanqi still didn't know what happened in the court. After learning the situation from Yang Anxuan, Yang Quanqi was shocked and inexplicable.
Holding the sword in his hand, Yang Quanqi shouted angrily: "Go and call Diao Feng."
After a while, the clerk reported back, "Diao Jishi has something to do at home, so he asked for leave and went back to Jingkou."
Yang Quanqi was furious and shouted: "If I catch this insidious villain, I will cut him into thousands of pieces."
Yang Anxuan advised: "Father, the matter has come to this, there is no point in getting angry, you should think of countermeasures."
Yang Quanqi sighed dejectedly: "If I had known this, I should have listened to your advice and resigned earlier."
"My father offended the two kings because of his child. Let's record this grudge first." Yang Anxuan said calmly: "The emperor sent the Yushitai to verify the matter. There is still room for redemption."
Yang Quanqi steeled himself and said: "As a father, I will write a memorial to defend the emperor. It is Diao Feng who made the accusation."
Yang Anxuan shook his head and said: "It's useless. Doesn't the emperor know that Diao Feng's accusation is just to use his father to appease the grievances of the two royal families that no one can be elected as the minister of the Middle East Palace?"
Yang Quanqi's veins popped out on his hands, and he said angrily: "I have fought in all directions for the imperial court, and have been through life and death. I am really unwilling to be trapped because of the words of a villain."
Yang Anxuan thought for a moment and said, "Father, the imperial censor, Chu Can, is fairly honest and fair. If he sends someone to verify, my father will have a chance to plead his case. However, it is worth thinking about how to plead to impress the emperor."
Yang Quanqi knew that the third son was thoughtful, so he suppressed his anger and asked, "Xuan'er, what do you think we should do?"
Yang Anxuan pondered for a moment and said: "After the incident, it is impossible for my father to continue to serve as the governor of Tangyi. Instead of being demoted, it is better to resign due to illness as discussed at the beginning of the year, so that he will not have to worry about it again in the future."
Yang Quanqi sighed and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to resign due to illness. The Wang family will not let the Yang family off easily."
Yang Anxuan sneered and said: "The Wang family is not upright and has ulterior motives. Why don't we just expose their shady thoughts and see how it ends?"
Yang Quanqi's eyes jumped and he said in a deep voice: "It's okay, let's just make a big fuss and let out this sullen voice."
…………
Guo Ding, the imperial censor, was ordered to come to Tangyi City to investigate and deal with Yang Quanqi's resentment. Before coming, the censor Zhongcheng Chucan told him to do things impartially. Then Zuo Pushe Wang Xun and Zhongshu Ling Wang Guobao called him to the official residence one after another, also asking him to do things impartially.
Guo Ding was born in the Guo family of Wenxi, Hedong. At the age of twenty-four, he was appointed as the Secretary of the Fifth Military Department of Shangshu Province. It took him fifteen years to move to the sixth rank of Yushitai as the censor. He was accustomed to the ups and downs of the officialdom.
This time it is clear that the two kings are joining forces to deal with the Yang family. The emperor deliberately sacrificed his soldiers to protect his commander, and used the Yang family to calm the resentment of the two kings. Yang Quanqi may not be able to escape this disaster.
When he came, he had made up his mind and acted accordingly. If the two kings' wishes were fulfilled, it wouldn't hurt to step on the Yang family's lost dog.
After getting off the bus in front of the prefect's mansion, Guo Ding saw his lord Bo Liu Zi leading officials of all sizes to greet him, but the prefect Yang Quanqi was not there.
"Where is Governor Yang?" Guo Ding asked with a cold face.
Liu Zi hurriedly handed over his hands and reported: "Guo Yushi, Governor Yang learned about the impeachment. He was so anxious that his illness relapsed and he was bedridden. He could not come to greet the angel. Please forgive Guo Yushi."
Guo Ding sneered and said: "It's really not the right time for Governor Yang to be ill. Since Governor Yang is ill, I will go and visit him."
In the back house, Yang Quanqi was lying on the couch. When he heard that Guo Yushi was coming to visit, Yuan and Dong took their daughters to avoid it, and only Yang Anxuan stood beside the couch.
Seeing an official wearing a black gauze crown and black silk robe come in, Yang Anxuan knew that he was the censor who came to investigate the case.
He leaned down and called softly into Yang Quanqi's ear. Yang Quanqi struggled to sit up when he heard it.
The room was filled with the aroma of medicine, and Guo Ding smiled inwardly, pretending to be so. He hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support Yang Quanqi, and said, "Prefect Yang is sick, so don't get up."
When his hand touched Yang Quanqi's arm, it was scalding hot. Guo Ding began to doubt whether he was really ill.
Yang Anxuan brought a pillow and asked Yang Quanqi to lean on the couch. He also brought a chair and asked Guo Ding to sit on the couch.
Guo Ding looked at the velvet beard protruding from the corner of Yang Anxuan's lips, and felt envious and jealous in his heart. The sixth-grade East Palace Attendant, who was not yet weak, was much better than him.
Yang Anxuan said apologetically: "Guo Yushi, my father was originally ill. Hearing that someone was slandering him, he felt resentful. He wanted to go to the Yushitai in person to redress his grievances. Unexpectedly, he got angry and provoked Feng Han, causing Guo Yushi to run away. Oh, I'm so sorry."
Yang Quanqi coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice: "Guo Yushi, Yang asked himself to be loyal to the court and the emperor. Diao Feng didn't know who instigated him to frame Shangguan. Yu has already written a defense, please ask Guo Yushi to stand in for Yu." Presented to the Holy One.”
Yang Anxuan took a memorial from the case, handed it to Guo Ding, and said: "Guo Yushi, my father has been fighting for the country with his ancestors since he was a boy. It has been nearly thirty years now. My Yang family has been loyal, and my father and brother have fought for the country." There are countless people who have died on the battlefield, how can they harbor resentment?"
Guo Ding took the memorial and said: "I will definitely report Governor Yang's defense to the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor will make a clear decision."
Yang Quanqi became excited, sat up straight and pulled off his thin shirt, revealing his bare upper body.
Pointing to the large and small scars on his body, Yang Quanqi burst into tears and said: "Yang has been fighting for thirty years and has dozens of large and small scars on his body, including three near-death wounds. In the past, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, accused Zhou Tai of causing him to drink alcohol because of his injuries. But get drunk."
Guo Ding sighed, disapproving in his heart, and said a few words of comfort in his mouth, neither salty nor bland.
Upon seeing this, Yang Anxuan said: "Guo Yushi, I thought that I had a grudge against my father. It was Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword with the intention of Pei Gong. I am afraid that someone is talking about the emperor's appointment of the East Palace attendant. When I return to the capital, I will write a poem. , spread the word everywhere, and have a good argument with these villains."
Guo Ding was surprised. Yang Anxuan was not famous for his talents. His poems, lyrics and music were among the best. His verses and couplets in Wa Coffin Temple and Jianjing Temple made him even more famous.
If Yang Anxuan wrote this incident into a drama for others to sing, even the Wang family might not be able to bear it. What kind of role would he play in the drama?
Looking at Yang Anxuan again, Guo Ding's eyes were full of taboos. In time, such a young minister of the East Palace might be able to become the prime minister. He might have annoyed him, and his children and grandchildren might suffer in the future.
Thinking of this, Guo Ding said with emotion: "Guo will report the injustice to the Emperor of Heaven impartially. An Xuan, please be patient and wait for me to report to the Emperor of Heaven before making a decision."
Yang Quanqi feebly took out another volume from his pillow and said: "Since Yang arrived in Tangyi, his old injuries have often recurred. He is exhausted physically and mentally. I would like to bid farewell to Long Live."
Guo Ding accepted Yang Quanqi's resignation memorial and was convinced that both sides would have room for retreat and the matter would end successfully.
After a few words of comfort, Guo Ding stood up and left, and Yang Anxuan was sent to the door of the house.
The sun fell on the green shirt. Looking at Yang Anxuan's tall and straight figure, Guo Ding felt more and more depressed. He should try his best to make friends with such a person.
"An Xuan, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we will get closer to each other in the future. I am very happy with your "Little Window Quiet Sentences" and I will treat you to a drink someday. I hope you won't refuse." Guo Ding smiled happily. .
Yang Anxuan cupped his hands and said: "Guo Yushi is polite, it would be better for Prime Minister An Xuan to invite Guo Yushi. An Xuan took the liberty of asking me for something."
Guo Ding thought that Yang Anxuan was interceding for his father, and said with a smile: "Don't worry An Xuan, Yu will definitely tell the story of Yang Taishou's injustice to the emperor. The emperor knows right from wrong and will definitely clear Yang Taishou's innocence."
Yang Anxuan thanked him and said softly: "My father's illness was caused by a villain, Diao Feng. This person has committed crimes against his superiors and sued his superiors. He should not be leniently spared."
In this game, Diao Feng is just a small and inconspicuous player. Guo Ding said: "Don't worry An Xuan, wait for the good news."
