"The fact that Chen Guogong would come to this old man's mansion really brings glory to our mansion!"
The door of Yang Mansion was open, and Yang Tinghe stood at the door, looking at the people who got off the carriage with unexpected eyes, and his tone was full of surprise.
After all, the two sides just had a fight with each other in the court not long ago, and now they are visiting each other at home. What does this mean?
What is the other party trying to do?
However, Yan Yuan didn't show any concern at all, with a faint smile on his face:
"You are polite, Sir. You and I are both courtiers, and we share your Majesty's worries. We should move around more."
Yang Tinghe saw that the other party was generous and he could not show his timidity, so he changed hands and invited him into the study.
After exchanging a few polite words, we got down to business.
"Aren't Mr. Ge not going to work with Mr. Zhang Ge?" Yan Yuan smiled lightly, but said these words that shocked the court.
Hearing this, Yang Tinghe's pupils suddenly shrank!
Leaked! There is actually a mole among his confidants!
He was secretly wary in his heart, but he repeatedly vetoed it in his mouth. Now that the attack has not started, he naturally cannot admit it, and the other party has already noticed that it is a matter of two opinions whether the impeachment of Zhang Cai will proceed this time.
Yan Yuan was not surprised. He had already expected Yang Tinghe's reaction. He reached into his arms and gently took out a piece of paper and handed it over.
Yang Tinghe took it doubtfully, but after just one glance, his eyes widened suddenly, his hands trembled slightly, and his calm expression was no longer there.
This is a facsimile.
What was copied was Prince Ning's account book.
This is what really scares Yang Tinghe.
As we all know, Prince Ning is a person who is never willing to waste.
For example, the money he used for bribes, the huge wealth he had accumulated over generations, he was reluctant to just throw away.
Therefore, everyone he bribed was recorded in King Ning's notebook, and they will be liquidated together in the future after the rebellion is successful.
As he was easily defeated by Wang Shouren, Nanchang was recovered. However, although Prince Ning's mansion was searched from top to bottom, the account book was mysteriously missing.
To be honest, the disappearance of the account book once caused some uneasiness among the court officials at the time. However, after a while, there was no trace of the account book. Gradually, everyone became less worried. They all agreed that the account book might have been destroyed. In the flames of war.
But in fact, it was Yan Ling who arranged for Yinlong to take it away.
Now that the eighteen provinces of Han are basically covered by hidden dragons, Yan Ling can also mobilize local subordinates at any time. Since he knows this good thing from King Ning, he naturally cannot let it go.
It would be too wasteful to let Wang Shouren burn it like this. He is not as noble and upright as Mr. Yangming.
As Zhu Houcong ascended the throne, Yan Ling came to the capital to pay for prostitution. Naturally, he brought this account book with him and fell into Yan Yuan's hands.
And Yang Tinghe's name is at the forefront of this account book - there is no way, who gives him a high status, Zhu Chenhao's main target is him.
When they saw the benefits Yang Tinghe received, several people couldn't help but be speechless.
It is indeed a huge expense, after all, Yang Tinghe's position is there.
But this also confirmed Yang Tinghe's crime. He couldn't deny it with so much money in front of him.
Yang Tinghe naturally understood this truth.
He accepted huge amounts of bribes from anti-thiefs and also provided cover for the anti-thiefs...
In an instant, Yang Tinghe's back was covered in cold sweat.
This is a huge sin! Once it is found out, not only you, but also the three tribes may suffer! Especially now that the little emperor still dislikes seeing him.
His body was trembling slightly, and his gray hair was suddenly covered with beads of sweat. At this time, the old man who had been in charge of the court for many years finally panicked.
Yan Yuan stood aside, looking at him quietly with a smile on his face.
As early as when he got this account book, he knew that Yang Tinghe could only obey him from now on.
King Ning's rebellion has not been over for long. At this time, this account book is simply a death note, and Yang Tinghe, who is listed in it, is a confirmed rebel!
That is the sin of the Zhu clan!
"My lord..." Yang Tinghe finally spoke, his voice hoarse, as if he had made an extremely important decision in his heart:
"The impeachment is indeed a matter. I will ask them to cancel it." His voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was still worried. Yan Yuan would not let him go, so he continued:
"What happened before was because I was old and stupid, and I had the audacity to go against the Duke... It was my fault. I will submit my resignation and return to my hometown. I also ask the Duke, for the sake of the cooperation between you and me these years, Open a wide net.”
Yang Tinghe bowed his head. He lowered his arrogant head to Yan Yuan. In the face of life and death, even Mr. Yang Ge had to surrender.
At this time, he felt extremely regretful. If he had known better, he should not have coveted the money, leaving such a huge loophole for others to manipulate!
Yan Yuan looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, and said slowly:
"As long as Yang Ge is aware of current affairs, my father-in-law will naturally not be troublesome."
"But there is no need to resign. Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, we still need you and me to work together to assist the Ming Dynasty."
After finally catching the pulse of a chief assistant, what if we just let him go?
Yang Tinghe's face showed anger and faint sadness.
He already knew what was coming.
Being caught, he naturally had no choice but to join Yan Yuan's forces.
However, on the surface, he was still the same Yang Shoufu, and Yan Yuan deliberately pretended to be successfully counterattacked by him at certain times, allowing him to maintain his dignity and do things that displeased the emperor from time to time.
Because Yan Yuan knew very well that if the little emperor found out that Yang Tinghe had been subdued by him, then he would support new forces as a counterattack, and only by maintaining the original status quo and under the pressure of the powerful Yang Shoufu, would he rely on the Yan Yuan and his distinguished group.
Later, he tentatively proposed to make King Xingxian the emperor and his mother the queen mother. Naturally, he met with fierce opposition from the civil servant group headed by Yang Tinghe. However, Yan Yuan stood up and spoke eloquently about Yang Tinghe. After refuting the points one by one, Yang Shoufu could only stand aside, admitting his mistakes in a helpless tone, and looking at Yan Yuan with an expression of "unwillingness" and "resentment".
This invisibly deepened Yan Yuan's status in Emperor Jiajing's heart, making him rely more on the Duke.
The only pity is that the personnel changes in the imperial court are still rapid, and King Ning has already started his bribery as early as the early years of Zhengde. Many senior officials recorded in the ledger have been iterated. In the later period, because of preparations for uprising, the scale of bribery It has also shrunk, which has resulted in many current officials not being in the book, otherwise he could directly control the court.
But overall, it's still good. Ning Wang's "Death Note" has successfully controlled a heavyweight.
Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied, Chen Guogong was very satisfied, and the civil servants were also satisfied with suppressing the noble group from time to time.
Everyone is very satisfied.
