Jiao Jing should be the only one among everyone present who is not interested in Youjun.
After all, he is just a relative, and does not have the connections and huge family like Xungui, so even if the East Palace has a young army, it will not be of much benefit to him.
Because of this, he was more rational on this matter, but that didn't stop other families from taking action. In the end, he could only agree to give it a try.
After all, it now seems that Duke Chengguo is taking the lead in this matter, and the pressure he has to bear is also the highest.
Since Zhu Yi was willing to take risks, he had no reason to stop him.
After roughly agreeing on the direction, everyone discussed some details, and then went back to prepare. You must know that if not for the young army, at least, the East Palace's departure from the cabinet cannot be delayed any longer.
Everyone dispersed, but Zhu Yi stayed.
Because there is still one level to pass!
In fact, the biggest reason why he had just arrived was because these people suspected that he was secretly working with the Yang family to bring down Ren Li.
Again, it's nothing to overthrow Ren Li, but joining forces with the Yang family will make these people wonder if he has the idea of turning to the emperor.
Zhu Yi just explained to everyone that he did not agree to Yang Jie, but Jiao Jing and others just wanted to maintain their position in the court discussion, so he took advantage of the Yang family.
Regardless of whether everyone believes this explanation or not, with this memorial, even if they have doubts, they can only suppress it temporarily.
However, there was one person who couldn't hide it, and that was Zhang Shi in front of him!
At that time, in order to persuade Zhang Shi, Zhu Yi clearly stated his position, and even told Zhang Shi almost all the conversations he had with Yang Jie.
Therefore, Zhang Min knew clearly that he had already made plans to join forces with the Yang family.
In this case, the explanation just now makes no sense.
In the flower hall, everyone had left. Zhang Xi pressed the tea cup in his hand, looked at Zhu Yi in front of him with burning eyes, and asked.
"Young Master, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Zhu Yi was well prepared for this question and answered with a calm expression.
"The second master is referring to why I didn't truthfully explain to Prince Consort Jiao and others what I said to the second master that day?"
Zhu Yi shook her head slightly and said calmly.
"Second Master, you and I have been friends for generations, and now we are close friends of Qin and Jin Dynasties. I can say something to Second Master, because if you and I are related by marriage, we are like-minded, and it will be a good thing for us to become the Duke of the country." , that is, the British government is good, the British government is good, and the Chengguo government is good."
"The same is true in reverse. Therefore, the second master and I can openly say that everything we do is for the restoration of the title. The second master will also believe that I have no other intentions. However, the second master asks himself, if this is the case, I and I Those people said, would they think I was just trying to regain my title, or... would they think I was hedging my bets?"
In the conversation before the court meeting, the two of them had actually made it very clear.
They do this purely for their own benefit.
The Duke of Chengguo wants to regain his title, and the Duke of England wants to take back the power from Ren Li. Although this will have a great impact on the power that the Supreme Emperor has already formed, neither of them care.
In the final analysis, for them, the strength of the family is far more important than so-called loyalty!
Therefore, Zhu Yi was still confident about persuading Zhang Xi.
What Zhang Min is hesitating about now is nothing more than what he just said. His early contact with the Yang family may be a sign of leaning against the emperor.
However, Zhu Yi did not believe it. Zhang Min had not thought of this before. He knew this but still did it. This only shows that he still tended to believe Zhu Yi in his heart.
Now, after hearing what Jiao Jing and others said, my heart was shaken again.
Looking at Zhang Xi's silent expression, Zhu Yi still shook the memorial in his hand and said.
"Second Master, you have also seen the contents of this memorial. If I am really as Jiao Prince-in-law and others have guessed, then I only need to push the East Palace to leave the cabinet. Why bother to spend so much time and risk such a big risk?" Risk, how about securing young troops for His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Or do you think the Second Master would benefit the emperor by handing over the young army to the East Palace? Or, is my humble Chengguo Duke's mansion worthy of the emperor paying such a high price?"
The reason is not complicated. Zhu Yi believes that Zhang Shi can think it through clearly.
However, what surprised him was that after he finished speaking, Zhang Shi still stared at him with a somewhat struggling look on his face.
This look made Zhu Yi feel a little uneasy, but he still didn't speak.
If something unexpected happened to him, then at this time, any more words would be wrong.
Finally, after a long while, Zhang Min sighed softly and said.
"You are right. Forming a young army for the East Palace is indeed harmful to the emperor. I am afraid our emperor will not take such a risk."
"But, young master, do you know the real reason why Jiao Jing and others are targeting you?"
Zhu Yi frowned, but her expression didn't show much concern, and said.
"Appreciate further details."
"Ren Li sent a message!"
As soon as Zhang Min opened his mouth, he was shocked.
You know, it's only been a few days since the court meeting, and Ren Li was arrested into the heavily guarded imperial prison.
On the Jinyiwei side, since the last incident involving Xu Bin and others was leaked, the commanding officer Lu Zhong has made a lot of rectifications. Under such circumstances, Ren Li still has the ability to spread the news?
Zhu Yi was shocked and subconsciously wanted to ask how the news came out, but in the end, he endured it.
This is not in line with his position!
As a die-hard loyalist of the Supreme Emperor who had just been suspected, what he should ask now is...
"So, everything that happened today was what Ren Hou meant?"
Zhu Yi's eyes were heavy and there was a hint of hostility in his tone.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xi shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Young Master, please don't worry about it. The letter sent by Marquis Ren did not mention the Young Master."
So, Zhu Yi looked a little better and asked.
"Then what did he say?"
Zhang Min looked at Zhu Yi's face and his expression became more and more complicated. It was obvious that he was still fighting in his heart. After a while, trust prevailed in the end. He sighed and said.
"Ren Li's letter contains two things in total. The first one is the content of his conversation with Yang Neng!"
Zhu Yi frowned but said nothing, waiting for Zhang Shi's next words.
During the court discussion, Yang Hong brought out two pieces of evidence, one was Yang Xin's family letter, and the other was Yang Neng's self-introduction.
Until now, no one except the emperor has actually seen these two pieces of evidence. Therefore, many people are guessing that what is written on them may not be as simple as what everyone sees now, and Zhu Yi naturally does the same. one of them.
However, it is true that he overlooked this point, that is, besides directly seeing the self-introduction statement, there is another way to know the content above, and that is to find Ren Li, the person involved!
Once the words were spoken, there was nothing to hesitate about. Zhang Miao sorted out some words and continued.
"According to Ren Hou, he did promise Yang Neng at that time. As long as he could persuade Yang Hong to take the initiative to stop the Ministry of War from reorganizing the army, he could lead various nobles to join forces to build momentum for the Changping Hou Mansion, and at the same time he could encourage the army. The lieutenant generals will cooperate together."
There is nothing surprising about this, it was all mentioned at the court meeting, but what happened next was something Zhu Yi did not expect...
"However, although Yang Neng is young, he is known for being good at planning. Although he wanted to help the Yang family get out of trouble, he did not trust Ren Li rashly. At that time, Yang Neng asked Ren Li three questions."
"First, if the Yang family makes such a move, what if Ren Li suddenly regrets it after the court discussion?"
"Secondly, although the rectification of the army has infringed on the interests of the noble families, a mere Marquis of Ningyuan dares to make promises on behalf of the noble families. How can he have the confidence?"
"Thirdly, although the Yang Mansion is in danger, it will not quench its thirst by drinking poison. The rectification of military camps is a matter promoted by the emperor and civil servants. If the Yang Mansion leads the nobles to fiercely oppose it at the court meeting, then even if it survives the current situation How will you gain a foothold in the court after facing such difficulties?"
"After all, even if the honorable nobles can temporarily unite, but after getting through this difficulty, everyone must still look after themselves. When the time comes, the Yang family will have to bear the consequences."
After hearing these words, Zhu Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a moment, he spoke.
"This Yang Neng is quite bold. The situation at that time was clearly that the Yang family was in trouble, but his question seemed like the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was begging him."
It could be seen that Zhu Yi was deliberately enlivening the gloomy atmosphere, so Zhang Shi's face relaxed and he sighed.
"Yes, everyone in the Yang family is desperate for their lives. Yang Hong is like this in court discussions, and Yang Neng is like this too."
"At that time, Yang Neng made it clear that although the Yang family was in danger, it was impossible to make wedding clothes for others."
The so-called marrying clothes for others naturally refers to the fact that the Yang family took the initiative and led the nobles to oppose the rectification of the army. After the success, the nobles benefited, but the Yang family had to face the storm of the emperor and civil servants.
What Yang Neng means is that even if the Yang family cannot escape this disaster, the benefits to the nobles will not be in vain.
This appearance of both jade and stone being destroyed is quite similar to what Yang Hong did at the court meeting.
"So, what did Marquis Ren say?"
In fact, Zhu Yi had already vaguely guessed something in his mind.
The meeting between Ren Li and Yang Neng was actually a negotiation. The Yang family was in a worrying situation, but Ren Li's life might not be easy either.
There is a high probability that Ren Li took the initiative to find Yang Neng and let the other party see something, so he adopted a tough attitude from the beginning.
Yang Neng's move was not because he really wanted to die together, but because he wanted to defraud Ren Li into getting more chips.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, this bargaining chip is obviously still obtained by Yang Neng.
Although he didn't ask, Zhu Yi could imagine that it would be difficult for Ren Li to spread the news from the prison at this time. Maybe he would use the last connections he had accumulated over the years. .
In such a rare opportunity, Ren Li only talked about his conversation with Yang Neng, apart from anything else. In fact, it speaks volumes in itself.
"Marquis Ren..."
Zhang Xi sighed helplessly again and said.
"Maybe it's because I was too anxious at the time. After all, you know, the witness who doesn't know whether it's true or false is in Yang Xin's hands."
"So, in order to gain Yang Neng's trust, Ren Hou told him everything..."
"Oh, no wonder..."
Zhu Yi sneered, and gradually had a rough outline of the ins and outs of this matter.
Yang Neng's doubt, or what he was worried about, was actually very simple, that is, if the Yang family had taken refuge in Ren Li, how could they still keep their family after the storm of reorganizing the military camp had passed.
Ren Li alone cannot bear the responsibility for the survival of a prince's mansion!
Then, it is natural to find someone who can take the burden, so it is not difficult to guess who Ren Li can move out.
Your Majesty!
Of course, there is also the East Palace. No matter what, the Supreme Emperor is the elder brother of the Emperor in terms of etiquette and law.
Especially now, when the emperor still openly respects the emperor, if the Yang family joins the emperor in a big way, the possibility of self-protection will be much greater.
Of course, it is also possible to receive a more intense blow from the Emperor, but after all, if this is done, the Emperor's reputation will be greatly damaged, and the bad relationship between the Tian family will no longer be concealed.
It is debatable whether a Yang family is worth such a high price for the emperor to pay.
This is not a sure path to safety, but it is at least a path that has a chance of being followed.
The Yang family is not afraid of being destroyed together, but they never want to be destroyed together.
Therefore, when Ren Li moved out of the Supreme Emperor, there was really room for the matter to continue to be discussed.
However, in this way, Ren Li's bargaining chip was leaked. Now that Yang Neng switched sides, the conversation between them became evidence that the Supreme Emperor was blatantly meddling in government affairs.
Of course, this is not ironclad proof. Just as Ren Li argued in the court, this is just Yang Neng's family opinion and cannot explain anything.
However, in court, most of the time, you don't need any ironclad proof, you just need to believe.
Not to mention that the Yang family was in such a desperate situation, even at its peak, how could Yang Neng dare to risk the disapproval of the world and frame the Supreme Emperor?
There will definitely be such rumors in the court. As a result, any actions taken by the Supreme Emperor in the future will inevitably be affected.
This can also explain why today's situation is here...
Since Yang Neng's confession stated that Nangong was behind Ren Li, then if Zhu Yi agreed to the proposal to join forces with the Yang family, then it is very likely that the final point of this court discussion was not Ren Li at all. But the Supreme Emperor!
If Zhu Yi joined forces with the Yang family before, it was possible that he was coveting Yang Hong's rebuttal. Then, after the news of Ren Li came out, once Zhu Yi agreed to join forces with the Yang family, he might have surrendered to the emperor. Sex just skyrocketed.
Under this situation, Jiao Jing and his gang were naturally in a state of confusion and had to test it out.
After realizing this, Zhu Yi felt lucky. Fortunately, he had brought this memorial here today. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to pass the test just based on his perfunctory words to Yang Jie.
Even now, with Youjun's proposal, Jiao Jing and others are probably still half-convinced. Unless this matter can really be done, otherwise, the doubts in their hearts will not be able to be dispelled for a long time.
"Besides this?"
"Even if there is something written in Yang Neng's letter of confession, since the emperor has pressed it, it means that he also knows that even if this kind of family talk can make some people in the court discuss it, it will not cause a big disturbance."
"Of course, this is definitely not the kindness of the Qianqing palace. He pressed this matter because he wanted to settle the accounts later, right?"
"What else did Marquis Ren say after he took so much trouble to send the message? Second Master, please don't lie about it."
