Since there have long been rumors in the court that the Yang family may be regarded as the flag-sacrifice 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 happening now?
With Yang Hong's attitude, he didn't mean to trade any gift for himself. He clearly wanted 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 this old guy Yang Hong, so he looked like he was going to fight with all his strength as soon as he got up...
Of course, what alarmed Ren Li even more was why no one from other Xunchen families had come forward to speak up until now.
However, now in front of Fengtian Gate, on Danqi, he had no choice but to keep looking at Jiao Jing and others aside.
In this silence, the emperor finally read 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!
"Okay, 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 spacious Danqi, 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 to it. 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 because 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 he could also release his grievances.
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 us to confront each other, in front of all the civil and military ministers, I will tell 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.
However, he was the emperor after all, 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 old. 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 well prepared. At some point, 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 eunuch 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 the 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 War, was secretly inspecting the military camps in various places. Unexpectedly, We are about to arrive at the Xuan Mansion on the 2nd, and when the investigation is completed, I am afraid that the imperial court will organize everything 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 began to talk, and there was a low murmur.
It should be said that by now, the courtiers had already known that Yu Qian's original patrol was called to thoroughly 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, it means that before Yu Qian returned to the capital and the court had not given any signal to rectify the military settlements, at least a group of ministers headed by Ren Li had already 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 if Ren Li comes out to oppose the Ministry of War's memorial, he must have 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 Emperor's return to the capital. However, I paid a regular visit to the deputy commander of the guard, but I never thought that I would be captured 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. There is no point in denying it!"
However, Ren Li was not so easy to handle and asked directly.
"Marquis Yang also said that this is a family letter from your Yang family. How could you know that it wasn't you and your nephew who conspired 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 displayed 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 of the 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 written by Marquis Ren."
"Well, does Marquis Ren also want to say that I am forging it?"
"If not, then please ask Marquis Ren to explain in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials why my nephew Yang Neng was invited to come to the house to talk when his confinement had just been lifted. Is it possible? It is also following etiquette. , let him visit?”
