I heard that Yang Zhan overthrew Jiupintang and beat Guo Yu, the chief god of Jiupintang, to death from serious injuries. It seemed that he could not be saved.
Whether it was beating Guo Yu to death or secretly releasing Feng Linguo spies, it was a capital crime.
This news, even during the Queen's funeral, still flooded the entire Tiandu City like a heavy rain.
From the Sangong and Jiuqing to the subordinate officials, they were all shocked by this sudden incident.
People from the family group headed by Zuo Pushe and Chen Jue gathered a group of censors and senior officials and rushed to the entrance of Zhengtong Hall.
Everyone has already prepared a fatal memorial in their hands, and without exception, the target is naturally Yang Zhan.
However, they were all blocked by the imperial guards and could not see the prince.
At this time, in Zhengtong Hall, Prince Yang Xing looked at Zhan Shi Qian Zhang of the East Palace.
"Qian Zhan, what's going on outside?"
"Prince, they are all participating in Yang Zhan, and they are all trying to kill Yang Zhan. Especially at the Yushitai, the crowd is excited and fierce. I am afraid no one can save Yang Zhan from what he has committed this time. If your Majesty, To protect him, this Great Xia Law is like useless paper."
At this point, Qian Zhang frowned and said, "Prince, I heard that the prince went to Tiansheng Palace to intercede for Yang Zhan earlier?"
"Yes." Yang Xing nodded.
Qian Zhang smiled bitterly: "Why is Your Highness so confused? How did you get involved in this matter? If Yang Zhan is executed, the prince will be implicated!"
As he said that, Qian Zhang looked anxious: "The most urgent task is that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, should report to His Majesty that Yang Zhan should be killed and the law should be rectified!"
Yang Xing said nothing and seemed to be thinking about the problem.
Qian Zhang saw that Yang Xing was not in a hurry now, but he was even more anxious.
"Prince, as I write for the Crown Prince, I must not get into trouble, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
With that said, Qian Zhang began to prepare to write a memorial.
Yang Xing stretched out his hand and stopped Qian Zhang's hand.
Qian Zhang was anxious: "Prince, if you don't come forward, it will be too late!"
Yang Xing looked at Qian Zhang and asked, "How long has Yang Zhan been taken to Wende Hall?"
"When I return to Your Highness, I will be personally escorted by General Jinwuwei at Chenshi. It is now Youshi."
"Still no one can enter the Hall of Wende?"
"Yes, all the officials outside went to Tiansheng Palace to ask for an audience. King Li and the fifth princess also went there, but they couldn't get in."
Yang Xing took a deep breath: "It's been more than five hours now!"
After saying that, Yang Xing looked at Qian Zhang!
"If you want to write, write a memorial to protect Yang Zhan. If my father wants to kill Yang Zhan, I will be guilty of the same crime!"
As soon as these words came out, Qian Zhang's expression changed drastically: "Your Highness, this..."
Yang Xing looked solemn: "You heard me right, I want to protect Yang Zhan. Now, don't think about anything else, just think of a way for me to help Yang Zhan escape the crime!"
Qian Zhang was confused and didn't seem to understand why the prince was so confused at this time.
But Yang Xing said: "My relationship with Yang Zhan is not something I can just put aside if I want to. If I add insult to injury and don't speak up for Yang Zhan, how will the world see me? Besides, the so-called major sin is nothing more than Yang Zhan killed the enemy in Jiupintang and let the enemy spies go without permission."
"This is a capital crime!" Zhan Shi said with a bitter smile.
Yang Xing looked at Qian Zhang: "How can such a major case be convicted before it has even been tried yet? It will require at least three trials, and it will take a year and a half to convict."
"That……"
Yang Xing stood up and took two steps, his expression indifferent.
"How's Guo Yu?"
"I'm speechless. I probably won't survive."
Yang Xing narrowed his eyes: "Those two spies were captured by Yang Zhan. How could Yang Zhan release them without permission? I think Guo Yu collaborated with the enemy and released them without authorization. General Yang caught him and put Guo Yu to death!"
Qian Zhang took a deep breath: "Your Highness, besides Guo Yu, there were other people in Jiupin Hall who saw this..."
"kill!"
Yang Xing's words made Qian Zhang's vest shiver.
Taking a deep breath, Qian Zhang handed over his hands: "Wei Chen takes orders!"
Yang Xing clasped his hands behind his back and said again: "By the way, let the imperial guards clear out those people outside. This is the period of the late empress's funeral. They are so unbridled, disrespectful to the empress, and disregarding the state. They are all banned for three days. Three days If you don’t arrive, you are not allowed to go out!”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
…
Ugly time.
In the Hall of Wende, the lights are bright.
There was a murderous atmosphere around the Wende Hall, and the guards were tighter than ever before.
No one is allowed to enter!
Lin Buhan stood outside the Wende Hall, his expression solemn and his spirit highly tense.
The other people were also facing a formidable enemy and were worried about the possible great changes in Wende Palace.
But in the main hall, it was unusually quiet, even peaceful.
Yang Zhan sat next to Yang Wu's desk, with his legs raised on the desk. He seemed to be sleeping very comfortably.
It seemed like there was nothing to worry about.
Yang Wu was also leaning on the chair, but Yang Wu did not fall asleep. He occasionally opened his eyes and glanced at Yang Zhan.
The old man's eyes were a little puzzled, a little confused, and a little inexplicable.
finally!
Yang Zhan woke up.
Opening his eyes, he stretched and looked outside: "I slept for a really long time. It's already dark."
"Yes, you still sleep soundly. I even envy you."
Yang Zhan looked at Yang Wu: "I've done too many things that I'm sorry for, and you can't even envy me."
Yang Wu smiled and said, "It's just because of a guy like you and people like King Wu that it's hard for me to have a good night's sleep."
Yang Zhan also laughed: "Yes, many people like to blame others for their mistakes. They never feel that they have any responsibility. They blame this and that. There is really no place to blame. That is to blame heaven and earth. Just like a resentful woman, don’t you think so?”
Yang Wu was not angry: "The words coming out of your mouth are always so ugly."
"You've been listening to good things all your life, and you're not tired of it?"
Having said this, Yang Zhan checked his body and was a little surprised: "Old man, you didn't attack me while I was sleeping? Didn't you have murderous intentions towards me several times?"
Yang Wu looked at Yang Zhan calmly.
Yang Zhan slapped his forehead: "I understand, I still have some use, even if I am about to die, but old man, you should take the opportunity to lock me up, but you didn't. Hehe, old guy, you are not confident anymore, are you?"
Yang Wu frowned slightly: "I just want to see if you are still so stubborn in front of me when you learn that Beiji is gone and the Shenwu Army is gone."
"Then you will be disappointed. I am a tough person. Even if I die, I can stand and never sit down!"
At this time, Yang Zhan had already stood up.
Yang Wu suddenly felt like he was seeing a savage beast rising.
Yang Wu showed admiration: "It's good to be young."
"You were young too."
"Yes, I was also young. I used to be a warrior and an iron horse, and I personally fought as a charioteer. When I met the barbarian emperor, I did not hesitate to make concessions. Unfortunately, these years are not forgiving."
"Now that we are old and our brains are no longer working well, it's time to rest. Why don't we give the opportunity to young people to enjoy their old age?"
Yang Wu shook his head: "If you sit in this position, you will know that you can't bear it."
"Shit, it's just greed."
Having said this, Yang Zhan picked up the cold tea next to him and drank it in one sip.
Putting down the tea cup, Yang Zhan twitched his ears and looked towards the door of Wende Hall.
"Old guy, what you've been waiting for is here!"
Yang Wu said nothing and looked at the door.
In the distance, Li Xuan shouted: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"
Yang Wu then spoke: "Isn't this what you were waiting for?"
Yang Zhan smiled and said, "I'm waiting to explain it to you, lest you become confused and misjudge."
"So, it's a conspiracy?"
"When the truth comes out, of course it can't be hidden."
Yang Wu glanced at Yang Zhan: "You are quite confident. I really can't think of any way you can defeat him!"
"The military information is here. Wouldn't you know it after seeing it?"
Yang Wu said: "Li Xuan, get in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan ran over from a distance.
Kneeling directly on the ground: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation in the north."
After speaking, Li Xuan looked at Yang Zhan again.
Yang Wu said coldly: "Just say it, let this kid listen."
