Yan Lin also discovered that Dong Gong seemed to be doing something secretly recently. He had people investigate, but there was no result yet. Yan Huisheng does things secretly and has a deep foundation, so he can't find out for a while.
But now the staff says it seems to be related to the Duke Protector's Palace, so we can follow the direction of the Duke Protector's Palace to investigate.
Zhou Gu is not around in the Duke Protector's Mansion now. There are only the old Lord Protector and the eldest princess Sheng'an in the mansion. They are both old. Sometimes they are unable to do many things. As long as the subordinates work hard to investigate, there should be no loopholes.
So, he immediately sent someone to investigate.
Just as Yan Lin guessed, no matter how cautious the Duke Protector's Mansion is, it is not an iron wall. Especially when inspecting the Duke Protector's Mansion, it is unavoidable to investigate not only the people in the government, but also outsiders, especially the brother who is in the military. Three.
This investigation only took two days, and a major incident was discovered.
The military camp in charge of the Protectorate seemed to be short of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the Protectorate privately ordered people to purchase military pay and food.
Since ancient times, it has been a taboo for soldiers and horses to move unexpectedly.
Yan Lin suddenly became happy and wrote a book that night. The next day, he went to the Protector's Mansion in the morning to secretly mobilize troops and horses.
After reading this book, everyone was shocked.
Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, two hundred thousand disappeared quietly, where did they go?
The emperor didn't get any news, and his face darkened when he heard this. The old protector had nothing to do, so he didn't go to court early, so he stopped going to the main hall and turned his attention to Yan Huisheng.
Yan Huisheng's face remained calm, and he bowed his hand to the emperor, "Father, I also have this memorial. It's about the second brother bribed Lin Sheng, the governor of Heyun County, and Zhang Yun, the deputy envoy, to use troops to kill Su Rong and Ning's sister. It’s a matter of brother. Zhang Yun crossed the border and mobilized troops, and is now being taken into the capital."
The court were shocked again when they heard this, and their eyes turned from Yan Huisheng to Yan Lin.
Yan Lin gritted his teeth, unable to admit it for the life of him, "I have no prince to accuse me unjustly."
"Whether you are wronged or not depends on the evidence." Yan echoed, "Second brother's excuses are useless."
"Who made the quibble?" Yan Lin resented, "The prince seems to know about the Duke Protector's rash use of troops. This matter needs to be explained to his father and the courtiers."
Yan echoed: "Of course there will be an explanation for this matter, second brother, don't worry."
He took out another brochure and presented it to the emperor, "This is the brochure that the Marquis of Nanping delivered to the capital on horseback. It has just arrived in the hands of my ministers, and it is still warm. Please take a look at it."
He didn't say the contents of the folding book and handed it over.
The eunuch took the fold and handed it to the emperor on the ninth level.
The emperor opened the folder and his expression changed at first glance. His expression turned even uglier than when he learned that Yan Lin said that the Duke Protector's government was arbitrarily using troops in private. He immediately asked Yan Huisheng, "Is this true?"
Yan Hui said helplessly, "Father, this is a huge matter. How dare you say something false about what Nanping Marquis said? Otherwise, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor."
The emperor's hands were a little twitchy, and he immediately asked: "Did you get the news earlier? So, you mobilized the troops and horses of the Protector's Palace?"
Yan Hui nodded, "Since my father has given full authority to the affairs of Northern Hebei to my son, I naturally have the right to mobilize troops." He said, looking at Yan Lin with meaning, "Northern Hebei. General Pingxi's Mansion is the second brother's Yue family, and I don't dare to be careless. Therefore, when I got the news, I kept it secret for the time being and waited for the news from Nanping Marquis to arrive today."
The father and son were going back and forth, asking questions and answering questions, leaving the courtiers confused. Yan Lin felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. But when his in-laws were mentioned in the banquet hall, he intuitively felt that this was not a good thing. .
Sure enough, after hearing this, the emperor smashed the paper on Yan Lin's head and said angrily: "Yan Lin, do you know that General Pingxi's mansion in northern Hebei has rebelled?"
Yan Lin was shocked and blurted out, "Father, this is impossible!"
He knew that General Pingxi's Mansion in Northern Hebei was rebellious, but he shouldn't have done it so quickly. When was this now? Is it a suitable time for General Pingxi in Northern Hebei to rebel? He really didn't get the least bit of news.
He was hit squarely by the folding bag, and his forehead was red. His whole body was panicking from the inside out, which was true panic.
He planned to use General Pingxi's Mansion in Northern Hebei, but it was not like this. He couldn't understand why General Pingxi's Mansion rebelled at this time?
"Pick up the zhezi and see for yourself." When the emperor saw Yan Lin's appearance, he knew that he didn't know, and he felt better. If his son knew about it but joined forces with General Pingxi to fool him, he would strike with a sword right now. Kill him.
Yan Lin bent down and picked up Nanping Hou's zhezi with trembling hands. The contents of the zhezi were very simple and only said one thing. General Pingxi's mansion in northern Hebei rebelled and mobilized no less than 200,000 troops to besiege Nanping City. To force Nanping City to surrender, if Nanping City does not surrender, the Northern Hebei Army will crush Nanping City. Your Majesty, please quickly mobilize troops to reinforce Nanping.
Yan Lin couldn't believe it, "This is impossible. Why did General Pingxi suddenly rebel?" He looked at the emperor with a white face, "Father, isn't this, this general always valued by you? My son, I don’t know what’s going on.”
The emperor's face turned dark, "You really don't know?"
"I really don't know." Yan Lin felt that he was going to die, and secretly hated Zhang Ping for turning against him without any warning in advance.
"Okay, I believe you for the time being." The emperor's eyes were cold and stern, and he turned to Yan Huisheng, "When did you get the news?"
He was also dissatisfied and angry with the prince. He actually dared to mobilize troops privately without telling him about such a big matter.
"I got the news seven days ago." Yan Hui said bluntly, "I didn't want my second brother to get into trouble, so I kept the matter secret."
The emperor choked.
Yan Lin hated Yan Hui to death, "What do you... have to do with me?"
"That's wrong. Pingxi General's Mansion has been very close to the second brother for many years. How could Gu know whether his second brother had joined forces with Pingxi General's Mansion to conspire against him? Therefore, for the sake of safety, Nanpinghou's news did not arrive for a day. There is no way to make this matter public to the court." Yan Huisheng looked at Yan Lin, "Second brother, dare I say that if you had got the news early, you would not have had second thoughts?"
Yan Lin almost choked, but he couldn't admit it, otherwise he would be doomed, "I didn't. As my father's son and the prince of Daliang, how could I join others in plotting against Daliang?"
Yan Hui said: "It turns out that the second brother knows, but for so many years, the second brother has not done a few things that are beneficial to the court and the country. Most of them are seeking positions for their own selfish interests."
Yan Lin retorted with a pale face, "Don't slander me."
Yan Huisheng's face was expressionless, "You don't need to waste words with Gu to slander the second brother. There is evidence in Gu's hands of the second brother's behavior over the years. We still have to wait for Zhang Yun to be escorted to Beijing. As long as there is a trial, it will be done." clear."
Monthly ticket, okay?
