Chapter 259: Xu Youzhen's Means

Yu Shiyue changed his normal class in the Criminal Department, and the intention of sheltering his grandson was very obvious. The reason why he did this was not only because he loved his grandson, but more importantly, he heard some news from the palace, saying that someone looked at Zhonggong and wanted to teach him a lesson.

It was this news that gave Yu Shiyue confidence in his heart, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to behave well in front of that person, he was not afraid of being loyal and courageous, but on the contrary, he dared to be tough with him. By doing so, you can not only make that person satisfied and look high, but also get a reputation for not being afraid of power, and you can protect the safety of your grandson.

With three birds in one stone, Yu Shiyue's firmness can be clearly felt by every official of the Criminal Department.

Liu San changed his confession, everything went so smoothly, and from the beginning of the matter until now, he has not seen Zhonggong intervene or do anything? This instinct made Yu Shiyue have an idea, that is, the loyal and courageous prince is afraid, afraid, and he is not as powerful as people say.

At this moment, a big net is covering Yu Shiyue's head, but he doesn't know it, and he is still complacent about some of the achievements in front of him.

In an outer courtyard not far from the palace, Xu Youzhen stood respectfully in a warm room like spring, seemingly not squinting, but his afterglow would always inadvertently fall on Jin Ying, the chief eunuch who was sitting opposite him and had a serious face.

Speaking of the relationship between Xu Youzhen and Yang Chendong, few people know. On the contrary, judging from some of Israel's past, everyone thinks that they should be in a hostile relationship with each other. is like the initial impeachment, which was a knife and a gun, which was later recommended, and was also interpreted as he wanted to use the technique of killing to deal with Yang Chendong, but it was just because his luck was too good and it was resolved.

It is precisely because of these pasts that Xu Youzhen was able to embark on the line of Jin Ying and is not doubted. Not only that, but because he knows how to be an official, he often gives gifts to Jin Ying, and has become one of his henchmen.

Under such a relationship, it is not difficult for Xu Youzhen to meet Jin Ying. What's more, when he came this time, he also brought some extremely confidential documents. Since the moment he gave it to Jin Ying, the other party's expression has always been very solemn, and half an hour has passed, and Jin Ying's frowning brows have no intention of easing.

After about half a cup of tea, with a long sigh, Jin Yingfang put down the manuscript, looked up at Xu Youzhen, who was standing there very respectfully, and asked, "Where did these things come from?" ”

"It was a merchant who paid a lot of money to get it. You also know that in this world, as long as there is silver, there are few things that cannot be done. Xu Youzhen looked respectful, and she was cautious when she spoke.

"Merchant?" Jin Ying was puzzled at first, but then nodded heavily, "Yes, Zhong's side is not monolithic, as long as you give enough silver, it is possible to get some of his secrets." Just what does he want to do with these things? ”

Holding documents about the various mistakes made by Yu Shiyue since he became an official, Jin Ying knew very well that if it was made public, the career of this criminal department secretary would be over. How can a person with problems all over his body be in charge of the criminal power of a country? Does this not mean that thieves should judge thieves, and that they should be laughed at?

"This... It must be because of Yu Xiong's matter, after all, as the driving force behind the scenes, he almost injured the third lady of the loyal and courageous father, with his personality, what if he didn't fight back? Xu Youzhen said with a guessing look, but in fact, this speculation is already a fact.

"But even if Yu Xiong does something wrong, then don't be innocent, after all, Yu Shangshu is a person who has just been activated by the emperor, if something happens, it will also be for the emperor's face..."Jin Ying said a little angrily.

The words were only halfway down, and Xu Youzhen had already answered: "That's the case. But Gonggong Jin also knows, now Yu Xiong is in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he has heard about it very well, so why is there such treatment? Presumably, if the root problem is not solved, the matter will not be solved, that is to say, Yu Shangshu is a person who cannot be bypassed. ”

"You can't get around it, you can't move it." Jin Ying said in a tone that could not be questioned.

As a close confidant of Emperor Daizong and the chief eunuch, Jin Yingneng has everything now without the support of this emperor. So once there is something that undermines the emperor's authority, he will never allow it to happen, so it's no wonder that he is so angry.

In this regard, Xu Youzhen understands very well, fortunately, he has already discussed countermeasures with Yang Chendong, seeing that Jin Ying is angry, everything is exactly the same as he thought in the plan, and Xu Youzhen took half a step forward at the moment, "Gonggong Jin, you don't know the character of the loyal and courageous father, that is the lord who will repay him, I'm afraid that he is just thinking about how to bring down Yu Shangshu now, and then cure Yu Xiong's crime, as for what kind of consequences will arise from this, I'm afraid I won't think about it." ”

How could Jin Ying not know such a big truth. But again, he will never allow others to provoke the emperor's authority, so once such a thing happens, he must stop it.

"Say, I think you can come and get such a thing at a high price, you should have your own way, let's hear it." Jin Ying was very annoyed, but there was nothing to be done, after all, Yang Chendong's existence in the court belonged to the transcendent kind, and he was the only one who might not put the imperial order in his eyes. Although such a thing has not been confirmed, Kim Young does not want to try it, because once some things are done, there is no possibility of reversing them. Even if he didn't have the ability to settle Yang Chendong, he could only start from other places, so the hope of solving it fell on Xu Youzhen.

Jin Ying really asked himself, Xu Youzhen knew that this was the other party to compromise, which was also the most critical point when he talked to Yang Chendong at the beginning, they bet that Jin Ying valued the maintenance of imperial power, only the other party meant this, and the next thing would be easy to do.

On the contrary, if Jin Ying is undecided about the imperial power and Bao Yu Shiyue, it will be difficult to do. Do you really want to make these pieces of evidence out of Yang Chendong public? If that's the case, you can also move the other party, but the effect won't be too good. In order to protect themselves, everyone will inevitably think that Yang Chendong's actions are a bit radical, and it is even possible to unite against him and exclude him. This is against the grain for Yang Chendong to unite the majority of people to peacefully evolve the Ming regime.

Therefore, Yu Shiyue's matter can only be solved secretly internally, and it is not appropriate to take it out and confront it openly, otherwise, it will only be a lose-lose result.

Immediately, Jin Ying asked, and according to the plan, Xu Youzhen also said a plan to solve the matter. "Gonggong Jin, in fact, the loyal and courageous father got this, it is nothing more than to punish the murderer behind the scenes, Yu Xiong, as long as he can meet this point, it must be possible to make things big and small, and small things. Fei Dan can keep Yu Shangshu's position, and it can make everyone's face shine. ”

Hearing that Xu Youzhen really had a way, Jin Ying's face eased, "Lord Xu, my father-in-law would like to hear it." ”

"That's right." Next, Xu Youzhen explained the plan and the plan, "If these things are not announced to the public, then Yu Shangshu will inevitably make concessions, and as for Yu Xiong, he must be sacrificed, otherwise, the loyal and courageous prince will not stop." And this matter needs to be discussed by Gonggong Jin, as long as you come forward, even if Yu Shangshu has thousands of reluctance, he must give in. Even in order to maintain Yu Shangshu's authority, we can find a scapegoat, such as Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, who can put all the blame on him, and say that Bao Yu Xiong's actions are a decision made by this person privately without Yu Shangshu's permission. In this way, wouldn't it be better to have a reputation for fairness and honesty without worrying about self-preservation? As for the loyal and courageous prince, the minister will go to the Hu Mansion to find Lord Hu and talk as a father-in-law, and the loyal and courageous prince will definitely give face. Think about it, it was the third lady who was almost hurt, and now that Mrs. Zhengfu's father has come forward, if he doesn't take a break, it will be because of the third lady who offended Mrs. Zhengfu, presumably the familiar and heavy, the smart and loyal man knows how to choose. ”

Jin Ying kept nodding, Xu Youzhen's suggestion was indeed feasible. can preserve the authority of the emperor, and maintain Yu Shiyue's high position, which can be regarded as an explanation. But he was a little skeptical about Hu Changning's appearance. "Lord Xu, are you sure that Hu Zhenfu will help us speak?"

"Nothing is impossible. For example, the current Jinyi Wei still has one less servant, if he can be promoted to one level, this is not a problem. Xu Youzhen smiled wickedly, a picture of everything in his chest.

"Oh, haha, yes, yes." Hearing this, Kim Young laughed. If you look at it this way, it is just a promise of an official position of three grades, which can settle the matter and maintain the imperial power, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it. "Okay, then do what Lord Xu said, if this time the matter is done, then Lord Xu can be regarded as a great contribution, and if there is a chance in the future, my father-in-law will speak for you in front of the emperor."

"Thank you, Grandpa Kim." Xu Youzhen pretended to be very happy and said, and then with a movement of his hand, five silver tickets from the Yang Family Bank of 100,000 taels were sent to Jin Ying, "Thank you father-in-law for promoting, this is a little bit of your courtier's heart." ”

It's 500,000 taels, which is no longer as simple as a little heart. Jin Ying's face was stunned at first, and then he seemed to have figured out something, and laughed and said: "Okay, good, Lord Xu is really a masterpiece, in this way, the father-in-law knows the matter, and it just so happens that there is one less Zuo Shilang in the Criminal Department, but whether you can take the position depends on your creation and the emperor's mood." ”
