"Where is Mr. Ye? Take me to see him!"
Rapid footsteps sounded on the corridor, getting closer and closer to the study, and only a sharp "squeaking" sound was heard. The door in front of him was opened. Ye Yongjia stood up and saw that it was Cai Xianqing and Dong Shenger. people.
"What's the matter, Mr. Cai?" Ye Yongjia calmly motioned for Wan Yuzhi behind him to sit down, turned around and asked.
"Are you crazy?" Cai Xianqing looked at him with disbelief, "You said in your letter before that you can't make things too big; why did you suddenly change your mind and want to go against the two imperial officials? They are royal relatives and nobles, not comparable to Chen Tongpao and others. Once they break up, there is no chance of winning!"
Ye Yongjia said expressionlessly: "It seems you already know."
"Don't worry about how I know it. I just want to ask you, is there any benefit to you and me in exposing the emperor's uncle at this time?"
Ye Yongjia slowly replied: "Mr. Cai, today's court meeting is extraordinary. Even the prince came forward to speak for Chen Dang and reprimanded me repeatedly. The situation is so urgent, I have no choice but to do it."
"It is precisely because the prince conspired with him that we cannot afford to offend him!" Cai Xianqing couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Cai, you still don't understand that the initiative is no longer in our hands." Ye Yongjia was extremely anxious and frowned. "Tai Su and Cun Zhao clearly want to kill me and put me to death." Continue the impeachment! They will not stop until this goal is achieved. You think they are hiding and afraid to speak out, but they are actually asking the prince to come forward on their behalf to incite the officials and organize an impeachment."
"Ye knew that the prince could never be offended, so he came up with a way to delay the time and get away temporarily. But how could Uncle Taisu spare me just like that? Seeing that the prince was powerless, he would not hesitate to overstep his authority and write a letter in person. Impeachment - this is also my plan to lure the snake out of the hole. As soon as Tai Su shows his face, we can seize one or two clues about him and say that he is a "conspiracy and frame-up". Only in this way can he be cleared of his guilt. Now I am afraid that we can only Take this Huashan road."
When Cai Xianqing heard that his words seemed reasonable, he calmed down and walked around thinking for a while.
"Ye Da..."
"He's right," Dong Sheng next to him still wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Cai Xianqing, whose eyes were very firm, "other than that, we have no other choice. But if we want to succeed, we need to It would be extremely difficult to overthrow the emperor's uncle and nephew at the same time..."
"If I didn't work hard, I wouldn't be in the position I am in now." Ye Yongjia brushed the table and picked up the written memorial. "I have long been used to fighting alone, so it doesn't matter if I add a few more opponents." ? This breakup is nothing more than a matter of life and death!"
Wan Yuzhi and Dong Sheng saw that the two of them were willing to accept death, and they couldn't help but become impassioned and said: "We are all willing to follow Ye Bingbu!"
"Your Excellency!" The 'sworn oath' here had just ended when a clerk rushed in and said, "Shang Shu Ye, the Emperor has ordered you to come to the palace to see you!"
Ye Yongjia immediately made eye contact with everyone. Dong Sheng came over and said, "Shang Shu, please go see the emperor first, put down the documents, and discuss it later when you come back."
"No," Ye Yongjia shook his head gently, "The situation in the palace is unknown. If it is a meeting at Hongmen, what should we do? Wan Yuzhi, take my memorial and go with me!"
Tai Su impatiently wrote an impeachment article that night and submitted it to Cun Zhao for reading. Cunzhao was overjoyed and suggested that the prince take him into the palace and present him to the emperor. The prince refused due to his status and unwillingness to be involved in these disputes. Cunzhao had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing, and came up with another strategy. He persuaded the prince to have the emperor summon more than thirty important ministers to discuss the matter in front of the emperor in the name of discussing important matters. The prince reluctantly agreed, and immediately went to the palace, saying that Taisu had written a memorial. He summoned officials of all ministries and departments, thirty-five of them in total, and stood under his majesty on the east and west sides.
Ye Yongjia walked leisurely, as if he was waiting for a big show, waiting until everything was ready before he even thought about singing on stage. The time was just as he expected, and when he arrived at the dormitory, he didn't keep everyone waiting for too long.
"Your Majesty, Ye Yongjia, kowtows to the Emperor." Ye Yongjia, leading Wan Yuzhi, passed under the sharp gazes from both sides, saluted in front of the emperor's gauze tent, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. The surroundings were filled with orange-red candlelight, illuminating his robe that was dragging on the ground.
"Okay," the person under the emperor's right shoulder was none other than the emperor's uncle Tai Su. Due to his old age, he was able to sit on an armchair. He raised his hand and his fingertips almost touched the candlestick, "Master Ye continued. Kneel down, no one will tell you to stand up."
"Understood." Ye Yongjia replied calmly, but he still sounded respectful, but one of his hands was quietly hidden in his clothes and stretched out into his arms.
"You can go aside first." Tai Su pointed at Wan Yuzhi, who turned pale with fright and quickly stepped aside.
"Ye Bingbu, there's no need to be so hypocritical. Your opinion of me is clear." Taisu stretched his sleeves and took out a stack of papers from behind, "I won't be polite to you anymore, because today I intend to impeach you!"
Ye Yongjia touched the corner of the document, slowly lifted it, and half of it fell out without making any sound.
Taisu immediately stood up, ignored the surprised expressions on his left and right, opened the memorial, and read aloud:
"The rebellious minister Ye Yongjia was originally the son of the loyal minister Ye Long. His father was forced by Liu thieves and died unjustly. However, he ignored the hatred of killing his father and flattered the Liu party in order to gain fame and wealth. This is unfilial; and Niu The Yuan Communist Party disrupted the government and harmed the people with its poor troops, causing disasters to Fu Guang and displacing the people. This was unkind; when the Liu Party was in decline, it betrayed its benefactor and turned ruthless in order to achieve its first success. This is unjust; and when the Liu Party was in decline, it was unjust. To collude with villains, to compare friends with each other, to introduce each other to each other, this is disloyal..."
Ye Yongjia shook the document down again, all of it came out and fell on his lap.
"I would like to ask your Majesty, I would like to ask all of you, this person has these four evils, how can he dare to be arrogant in the government and the public!" Tai Su turned around and knelt down to the emperor tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please don't be conciliatory and punish Ye Yongjia immediately. , to fulfill the hopes of the officials and the people!"
"The old uncle is right, punish him!" the people from Guoxiang said fiercely, and everyone also shouted in unison. Although Wan Yuzhi was in the crowd, his expression remained motionless, but cold sweat was pouring down from his head, and his hands were I can't stand on my feet a bit.
"What do you have to say about this!" Cun Zhao also pointed at Ye Yongjia and asked.
Ye Yongjia slowly raised his head, and the document in his hand gradually appeared in front of everyone. He looked at Cun Zhao and smiled slightly: "Ye... I also want to sue the old uncle. You guys need to hear the truth."
