If it is said that the previous letter was Yang Hong's home letter, it is not enough to prove it.
So the letter that Yang Hong just took out was stamped with the private seal of Ningyuan Houfu. Even if Ren Li wanted to deny it, it would not be easy.
After all, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have many experts in identifying seals and handwriting, so they can't hide it.
However, Ren Li was not too panicked.
You know, although he was born as a military commander, he has also been in the court for so many years. If he would leave evidence when discussing anything in private, then he would have been plotted against many times.
In just a short moment, Ren Li's expression returned to normal and he said calmly.
"Why are Marquis Yang so anxious? So what if this letter is written by me?"
Since you can't rely on it, just admit it openly.
The reason why he wanted to deny Yang Xin's letter just now was because the letter contained the content of their conversation. .
But what can Yang Neng’s letter prove?
In front of the civil and military ministers, Ren Li looked up at Yang Hong and said without hesitation.
"I did invite Yang Neng to visit me, but this was just an ordinary exchange."
"It is true that the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the Changping Marquis Mansion do not have a close relationship, but they are military ministers after all. Your nephew Yang Neng has a long history of military exploits. When he returned to Beijing this time, he was summoned by His Majesty. He is the leader of the new generation in the army."
"Out of admiration, I invited him to visit me. I wanted to build some friendship and support the younger ones. How could I offend Marquis Yang?"
At the end of the words, it was quite teasing.
Ren Li was not a fool after all. For something as big as this, the most taboo thing was to leave things on paper.
Therefore, whether it was with Yang Xin or later with Yang Neng, either he went there or invited people over, in short, it was all word of mouth, and it was impossible to really leave any evidence.
This is also the reason why he is still confident to this day.
But at the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart, what exactly did Yang Hong want to do?
From the very beginning, Yang Hong seemed determined to fight to the death, saying that he was "deserving of punishment" and "the great thief of the country".
However, after being entangled for so long, all I got was two false private letters that could not prove anything?
Ren Li subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but for the moment he couldn't figure out what Yang Hong wanted to do, so he could only be more vigilant in his mind and try to detect every possible move.
But obviously, Yang Hong was also prepared for Ren Li's reaction and asked further.
"In that case, can Marquis Ren explain what was discussed when he invited his nephew Yang Neng to come over?"
At this time, Ren Li's expression finally changed. His heart suddenly shook, and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
However, this guess was too bold, and he was not sure.
But the matter has come to this, and the initiative is not in his hands. Looking at Yang Hong, who has an obviously bad attitude across from him, Ren Li pondered for a moment, frowned, and said.
"It's just to encourage the younger generation to serve the court wholeheartedly. Although Yang Hou's nephew has made mistakes, he has outstanding military exploits, courage and strategy. He is a rare talent for the court. Now he is trusted by the court and is sent to An. I will serve you under the banner of Marquis Yuan."
"At that time, he was implicated by Yang Jun and was blamed by the court. As a senior, I couldn't bear to see his future ruined by his own family, so I just made some suggestions."
When he said this, Ren Li looked serious and stared at Yang Hong opposite, motionless.
However, after hearing this, all the ministers present felt confused.
Even without a keen sense of politics, the bosses could instinctively sense that there was something in Ren Li's words.
However, I am afraid that only Yang Hong can understand what the hidden meaning is.
Yang Hong naturally understood.
Standing on Danqi, Yang Hong raised his head and looked at Ren Li, a sharp edge flashed across his old eyes, he exhaled softly and said calmly.
"Don't worry about how the Yang family should go!"
As he spoke, Yang Hong had another envelope in his hand.
This time, he did not open it, but handed it directly into the hands of the chamberlain, brought it to the emperor, and then leaned over and said.
"Your Majesty, this is the self-introduction letter that my nephew Yang Neng asked me to submit to Your Majesty before he left the capital. It states that when the Marquis invited him to come to the palace, it was not just to encourage his descendants, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Ren Li on the side darkened his face and shouted sternly.
"Yang Hong!"
"Ning Yuanhou, you are so presumptuous!"
The former sentence was drunk by Ren Li, but the voice of the latter sentence came from the civil servant's side, and the target was none other than Ren Li.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, stepping forward with his face as sinking as water and said.
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Marquis Ningyuan for his disrespect of etiquette before the king, disturbing the performance, being disrespectful to the king, and disturbing the audience. Your Majesty, please punish him severely."
The atmosphere in front of Fengtian Gate suddenly became a little stagnant, and the eyes of countless courtiers all fell on Ren Li.
At the same time, they also vaguely sensed that the critical moment was coming.
You must know that Yang Hong was not speaking to Ren Li just now, but reporting to the emperor.
In this case, the only one who can interrupt Yang Hong is the emperor. This is the right rule.
Ren Li has been in the court for a long time, and it is impossible for him to make such a stupid mistake.
However, he still shouted!
This was definitely not a momentary lapse in anxiety. I am afraid that what Yang Hong was going to say next really touched on something, so that Ren Li had to stop him even if he risked such rudeness.
Following Chen Yi's appearance, two more civil servants came out, and they were Yu Qian from the Ministry of War and Wang Wen from the Ministry of Personnel.
At this moment, it is naturally impossible for them to have any other attitude.
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Ningyuan obstructed the duel and roared in front of the king. There must be something inside. It should be investigated in detail and should not be ignored."
Wang Wen was even more direct, saying: "Your Majesty's report has its own customs. Marquis Ningyuan has been in the court for a long time, so he should be familiar with etiquette. If such behavior is not disrespectful to Your Majesty, it must be something evil in your heart. Your Majesty, please investigate strictly!"
As soon as these two people came forward, Xun Qi Wuchen finally couldn't sit still.
Jiao Jing was the first to react, took a step forward and said.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Marquis Ren was just a temporary lapse of attitude and an unintentional mistake. There is no need to be too harsh."
"And today the court is discussing the matter of military settlement. Marquis Changping said that he wants to impeach Marquis Ningyuan. However, so far, the court has only produced a few flimsy family letters and so-called confessions. It is difficult to distinguish whether they are true or false. In order to criticize the important ministers of the court and the noble nobles of the country, , is actually a deliberate attempt to disrupt the court meeting."
"I ask your Majesty to take responsibility for both of them and order them to return to the palace to examine themselves, so as to warn all civil and military officials not to wantonly disrupt the court meeting and interfere with the court's political affairs for their own selfish reasons."
Immediately behind Jiao Jing was Ningyang Bo Chen Mao.
Since the clan case last year, Ning Yangbo had been silent in the court for a long time, but this time, he followed Jiao Jing without hesitation and came forward to report.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal. Today's court meeting was originally about the military garrison. However, due to the impeachment of the Marquis of Changping, it has not been able to get to the main topic. It is really a waste of time."
"No matter what dispute the two princes have, they should not be so rude at court meetings."
"I would like to ask your Majesty to order the two of them to return to the palace to examine themselves. The matter of impeachment can be investigated in detail by a supervisor and then reviewed."
