Liu Chengyou's tone of voice was affirmative, and Wang Zhang did not deny it. He was not surprised by the emperor's "forward-looking". What Wude Si does is no longer a secret in the court.
When Wudesi was founded, it was still penniless, but as it has continued to grow with the support of Liu Chengyou in the past two years, it has aroused the fear of many people. Since ancient times, the secret service has been criticized by people, but there has been no exception in all dynasties. They are like a knife hanging over the heads of civil and military officials, and they are a sharp weapon for the emperor to consolidate his power.
Previously, Yang Bin had a dispute with Liu Chengyou because of the Wude Division incident, and directly asked Liu Chengyou to abolish the Wude Division. It is said that for state supervision, there is a censor's station, so there is no need to take care of things at night, which will lead to chaos in the government. The words were rude and exaggerated, which was very disrespectful to Liu Chengyou.
Of course, no matter how hard Yang Bin argued, the result would never be as he wished. The conflict between Liu Chengyou and Yang Bin continued to accumulate and intensify during such matters until it broke out.
"Since I returned to the capital, many officials have been making insinuations and testing me regarding Yang Bin's matter. But this is the first time that Wang Qing has been so straightforward!" Liu Chengyou said slowly with a calm expression.
Wang Zhang also retracted his slightly bold gaze, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please punish me for the conflict of words!"
After saying this, he sat back in his seat and listened to the "Hadith" quietly.
Seeing Wang Zhang's appearance, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and shook it: "That's not the case!"
"I think Wang Qing's blunt statement is very reasonable, and we really need to give an explanation to the court!" Liu Chengyou accurately pulled out a document from the imperial case and signaled the chamberlain to hand it to Wang Zhang: "The reason for Yang Ping's imprisonment is specific. Wang Qing will know it at a glance!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Zhang responded, and finally began to read attentively. The information that came into view made his expression become serious at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dazzling words such as "mutiny" and "seizing power" tightly grabbed Wang Zhang's eyeballs, and the morbidity on his face seemed to be getting heavier.
Liu Chengyou sighed and said slowly: "This matter involves conspiracy and the country is at stake. I have to be vigilant. To prevent unexpected events, I can only deal with it with thunderous means!"
The explanation in Liu Chengyou's words could not convince Wang Zhang. Although Wang Zhang is not known for his intelligence and wit, his long career and experience as a high-ranking official have also honed a certain political sense.
There is something very strange!
Based on Wang Zhang's understanding of Yang Bin, he believed that he had seized power and despised the emperor, but Wang Zhang had strong reservations about his rebellion.
Not to mention whether Yang Bin had the strength to rebel, even if he had the intention, how could he launch it when Liu Chengyou's imperial power was gradually stabilized and people's minds were at ease? Wouldn't it be like moths rushing to the flames and bringing their own disaster.
Nowadays, the overall situation in the Han Dynasty is relatively peaceful, and Liu Chengyou's control over the army has been strengthening. With Yang Bin's shrewdness, how could he do such a stupid thing.
As for uniting with Julu King Liu Chengyun to cause trouble, it is even more doubtful. Even though Liu Chengyou was far away from the capital at that time, patrolling outside, and the bodyguards around him were insufficient, how could he deal with the elites in front of the palace with the few Xingzhou soldiers. What's even more funny is that Liu Chengyun also took the lead in reporting how Yang Bin could be so negligent in his actions after being in power for so long.
Apart from the above problems, even if Yang Bin really planned to rebel, it would be accomplished. With Xingzhou's little strength, how could he clean up the situation? The Queen Mother and the civil and military princes are all here in Tokyo, and one hundred thousand forbidden troops are still there. As a rebel, how can we fight against them? Should we join forces with Liu Chong, the king of Taiyuan in Hedong?
Even so, as a prime minister, Yang Bin dared to brazenly rebel. Those in Fang Zhen who were a little more peaceful in the world were afraid that the world would be turned upside down. Based on what has happened in the past three generations, I am afraid that the feudal lords will rise up again, and their enemies will be defeated, and the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and a new dynasty will be created...
Any knowledgeable person can take these situations into consideration. Yang Ping has been in a high position for a long time, regulating the yin and yang of the world. No matter how ignorant he is of the big picture, he will not be so stupid.
And how difficult is it for the emperor's wisdom to understand these problems? And Liu Chengyou's reaction... Thinking of this, the corner of Wang Zhang's mouth twitched, so bitter.
Wang Zhang's mind changed rapidly, while Liu Chengyou silently observed his changing expression, which was quite interesting.
A trace of hesitation appeared on his face. Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, Wang Zhang still asked: "Your Majesty, what is stated in this article is too general and contains many conjectures. There may be no solid evidence. Your Majesty, please be careful!"
Looking at Wang Zhang's expression, Liu Chengyou knew that this man had already experienced some twists and turns in this matter. His eyes flashed, and when he was about to speak, he had to report to Wang Jingchong, the Minister of War, for an audience.
"It just so happens that if Wang Shilang hadn't reported anything earlier, things might not have worked out. During this period of time, I will investigate and collect evidence. If Wang Qing has any questions, you might as well listen to his report!" In the palace, Liu Chengyou pointed at Wang Jingchong and said to Wang Zhang said.
Hearing this, Wang Zhang glanced at Wang Jingchong, who was waiting in front of him with great respect. Disdain flashed in his eyes, but his mood became heavier. Some things are not secrets in the court. For example, Wang Jingchong had always belonged to the "Yang Party" force before, but now in Wang Zhang's eyes, he seemed to be holding a bright knife to stab Yang Bin.
Wang Jingchong lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Liu Chengyou, and also glanced at Wang Zhang sitting next to him. After receiving the order, he said calmly: "After investigation, the rebellious minister Yang Bin has long had the intention of treason. During the reign of the late emperor, he despised His Majesty, made disrespectful remarks from time to time, and repeatedly summoned his cronies to conspire against him. The late emperor was seriously ill. OK, Your Majesty, Yang Bin secretly colluded with the Imperial Army in an attempt to depose him, but His Majesty was wise and powerful, took decisive measures, and came to the throne in time, so he gave up."
"At that time, I was a subordinate, so I gained something, but I didn't dare to report it rashly because I had not done anything rampant. In the past two years, I secretly observed and collected evidence. When I was on the northern tour, Yang Bin's disobedience broke out, and I succeeded in one fell swoop. catch."
"Since the winter of last year, I have asked more than 20 officials and military officers to interrogate and conspire against Yang Bin for his rebellion. This is enough to prove his rebellion!" At this point, Wang Jingchong's speech speed increased, and he got out of his official robe. He took out a stack of memorials and confessions, held them in both hands, and said: "In addition, I have verified that in addition to conspiracy, there are ten serious crimes committed by Yang Ping. Your Majesty, please read..."
In the empty hall, Wang Jingchong's final voice still echoed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Liu Chengyou read Wang Jingchong's "investigation report", making a turning sound from time to time in his hands.
For a long time, Liu Chengyou looked gloomy and sighed: "Who knows, Yang Fan's evil intentions are so bad!"
After saying that, he stared at Wang Zhang indifferently.
Hearing Qi's sigh, Wang Zhang, who had been dead for some time, finally seemed to be alive. He glanced at Liu Chengyou from the corner of his eye and murmured: "How dare you do this?"
There was a little sarcasm hidden in the angry tone, but I didn't know whether it was sarcastic about Yang Bin or something else...
What Wang Jingchong just said was heart-breaking, and even Liu Chengyou's "unusual behavior" at the beginning of his succession was exposed. It can be seen that Yang Bin's "rebellion" is no longer a one-day event.
At this point, it is still unclear where Wang Zhang is. The emperor has weaved a big net for Yang Bin and trapped him in it. As for Wang Jingchong, he is only a pawn...
His breathing was a little heavy, and Wang Zhang didn't even notice the hoarseness of his voice: "Yang Bing has committed a crime before. I wonder how your majesty plans to deal with it?"
Paying attention to Wang Zhang's reaction, Liu Chengyou suddenly felt a little depressed. He tapped the imperial case with his fingers. After thinking for a while, his expression was normal and he said lightly: "Yang Bin is the founding father of the Han Dynasty and an assistant minister appointed by the late emperor. He cannot make plans." It's the opposite. The national situation of the Han Dynasty is rarely stable, and it can no longer withstand the twists and turns..."
There was a hint of sadness in Liu Chengyou's tone, but he didn't know if he felt ashamed when he said this.
