As soon as Yang Zhen said this, the hall was in an uproar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The officials immediately let out a burst of exclamations, and at the same time, many people exchanged their heads with each other, if it was a big court meeting today, I was afraid that the discipline officials would be busy. However, no matter how different everyone's performance is, the meaning expressed is the same, that is, they don't believe what Yang Zhen said.

Not to mention that someone impeached Yang Zhen for the Xu family's grievances just now, even if there was no such thing, with Xu Jie's and the Xu family's status in the minds of all officials, not many people would recognize Yang Zhen's accusations, and it would only be regarded as his frame, is there still less Jinyiwei framing loyal ministers of the court?

In the face of everyone's doubts, Yang Zhen did not panic at all, but just stood there fixedly, with a look of expectation on his face. And his behavior like this aroused the disgust of others, especially Liang Laixing, who couldn't bear it at this time, and pointed at Yang Zhen's nose and reprimanded: "Traitor, you are so bold, you dare to slander Boss Xu like this, you are really blind in the world?" ”

Speaking of this, Liang Laixing turned around and bowed to Wanli again: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Yang Zhen wanted to harm the Xu family in Jiangnan and failed, so he ran to the capital to confuse the people, and it is really a crime that cannot be punished, and please ask Your Majesty to kill this treacherous evil to set the record straight!" ”

"The minister also thinks that what Yang Zhen said is all nonsense, and it is a slander against the court and hundreds of officials, and please punish Your Majesty severely!"

"The minister seconded the proposal and begged His Majesty to severely punish Yang Zhen to reassure the people!" ……

For a while, the officials who had impeached Yang Zhen with Liang Laixing again spoke again, shouting and shouting at him to kill.

In the face of so many people's attacks, Yang Zhen not only did not see the slightest panic, but showed a sarcastic sneer: "The people all say that officials protect each other, and I can see it today." It turns out that in order to stand up for the Xu family, you can reverse black and white to such a situation, and you don't even hold me accountable why I have such a statement, so you keep accusing me of being treacherous, let me ask you, do you have any evidence? If you are not Xu Jie's friends, I don't think anyone will believe it! ”

This was said both rationally and heartbreakingly, which made Liang Laixing and the others change their faces, and their hearts were secretly tight. They didn't expect Yang Zhen, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, to be so eloquent, and even beat him, and even pointed out that he was a friend, if he was believed by a few people, the future career of himself and others would be very problematic.

Although there were many partisan disputes in the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing Dynasty, this kind of small group style of setting up each other and calculating each other was still deeply rejected by people of insight. Especially Zhang Juzheng, who is now in power, is even more dissatisfied with this style, as long as he finds out that some people have the possibility of forming a party, these people will quickly disappear from the court.

Several officials who understood this glanced at Zhang Juzheng with some weakness. But what caught their eyes was Zhang Shoufu's square face that was calm and unwavering, without the slightest emotion, as if he had settled down like a monk, and the quarrels and arguments in the hall were not heard at all.

But the more he was so quiet, the more worried these people became, and they could only make a stand to Elder Zhang Ge by refuting Yang Zhen. After being stunned for a moment, Liang Laixing refuted again: "Yang Zhen, you are spewing blood, I just can't get used to you framing Master Xu, who has made great contributions to the court and the country, so I have to speak up." As for the evidence you say, aren't your words and deeds the best proof that you are treacherous? But you, I'm afraid you won't be able to come up with any evidence that can prove that the Xu family will attack you! By the way, if it's true, maybe the so-called thing about being chased and killed along the road in your mouth is just a lie made up by your Jinyiwei yourself! ”

"What Lord Liang said is very true, and the lower officials also think so!"

"The Xu family is now just a family of gentry who cultivate and read heirlooms, how can they have the ability to send someone to hunt down and kill your Jinyiwei? All of this is just a lie you made up to frame the Xu family! ”

Several officials quickly calmed down, and once again opened their mouths to rebuke Yang Zhen, vowing to refute him, all of them looked extremely imposing.

"Hah...... The ability of the adults to refer to the deer as a horse is indeed good, but it has made Yang Zhenchang insightful. Yang Zhen smiled mockingly, but he didn't mean to argue with them, but turned to Wanli and said, "Your Majesty, since the minister said so, there is naturally a reason. ”

If there are still people among the hundreds of people in this hall who are willing to believe that what Yang Zhen said is that the Xu family intercepted and killed them along the road, Wanli is definitely one of them. Seeing Yang Zhen say this, he nodded very cooperatively: "Then Yang Qing, you just have to say it." If this matter is indeed the Xu family's crime, I ...... And Master Zhang will definitely make decisions for you. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Juzheng intently.

Zhang Juzheng, who had been expressionless before, heard the emperor's words, but his cheeks trembled slightly. It's just that the action is so subtle that no one can perceive it.

Now that the emperor has let Yang Zhen speak, even if Liang Laixing and the others are reluctant, they can only keep their mouths shut for the time being. At the same time, their hearts unconsciously lifted, and a faint uneasiness was born.

After Yang Zhen thanked the emperor again, he spoke slowly: "Your lords must be very strange, how dare I think that it was the Xu family who sent people to hunt us down, if you talk about substantive evidence, I really don't have it." Because we were in a hurry to get out at that time, although we killed a lot of pursuers, it was impossible to verify their identities at that time, except that they were the officers and soldiers of the guard, there were no other clues.

However, the absence of direct evidence does not mean that I cannot find a reason. Because as far as I know, at least for that period of time, only the people of the Xu family would be so desperate to prevent me from returning to the capital with my brother, even if it would expose more crimes. It's just because they have a huge crime and trick that we have found out, and we have conclusive evidence! ”

In the main hall, the ministers who were still a little disapprehensive looked a little solemn with his last words. In fact, many people have heard of some of the things that the Xu family did in Jiangnan, but they don't know what kind of deadly handle Yang Zhen has gotten, and he can make the Xu family dog jump over the wall to do such a thing that intercepts and kills Jinyiwei, which is almost a rebellion.

Yang Zhen's gaze first glanced at Liang Laixing and the others: "Presumably you are still wondering about something, right?" That is what kind of will I give? To tell you the truth, I went to Huating at the behest of His Majesty to check whether the Xu family had bullied the local goodness and done many violations of law and discipline. Just before, His Majesty had received a bullet from the Huating County Lingyi Wenbin to impeach the Xu family for all kinds of lawlessness, but because the elder Xu Jie did make great contributions to the imperial court, in order not to cause more trouble, and for the sake of the reputation of the Xu family, His Majesty issued a secret order for me to find out the truth of the matter. ”

Hearing him say this, the faces of the ministers changed again, especially Liang Laixing and a few others, thinking that they were actually using this matter to impeach Yang Zhen, wasn't they indirectly slapping the emperor in the face, which made their hearts sink even more, knowing that their future was completely over.

Wanli was still a little apprehensive about Yang Zhen telling this fact, but after seeing Liang Laixing's expressions, he calmed down, and nodded and said: "Yes, although I didn't believe that the Xu family would do all kinds of illegal things after seeing the impeachment, for the sake of the people and the name of the Xu family, I asked Yang Qing to find out the truth." ”

"Your Majesty, after the minister arrived in Huating, he met with the county commander Yu Wenbin, and also saw with him how the Xu family covered the sky with one hand in Huating County. Not to mention that the people are afraid of the Xu family like a tiger, they only know the Xu family but do not know the official government, even those court officials, all of them are in the Xu family, and they are looking forward to it. Because of this, the people's life in Huating County is even more miserable, but they can only hide their sorrow in their hearts. When Yang Zhen said this, he glanced at the officials: "Maybe the original Master Xu Jie is indeed the pillar of the country, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court." But today's Xu family has long been a stubborn disease in the southern boundary of my Daming River. ”

When everyone was obviously unable to digest his words, Yang Zhen had already taken out a stack of documents from his sleeve again: "These are the notes of the Xu family's forced purchase of people's fields and houses in Huating, it is precisely because of these that the minister dares to believe that what Lin Zhi County has done is indeed correct, and the Xu family is indeed a big bully in Huating County!" ”

After the eunuchs took these notes, and the emperor read and distributed them, and let the officials pass them on, the expressions of the ministers in the palace became more and more ugly. Before, they had only heard about it, and they could not admit it, but now that they have these solid physical evidence, the image of the Xu family doing evil in Huating has become credible.

The hearts of Liang Laixing and others have sunk to the bottom, and they know that it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in officialdom after a few days. But at this point, they have no way out, only a way to go dark. And now, there is only one question that can be used to speak, and Lord Liang can only give it a try: "Yang Zhenfu, even if what you say is indeed credible, I still can't believe that the Xu family will not hesitate to send someone to intercept and kill you for the sake of this, at most, let the imperial court reissue them from the evidence of their crimes." Of these two crimes, the latter is much heavier, I think the Xu family shouldn't be so confused, right? ”

Yang Zhen was waiting for his words, and when he heard this, his eyes flashed and said: "Yes, if it is just this crime, as long as the Xu family runs well, plus the adults in the court help to speak, it is nothing." But during my stay in Huating County, I found out another thing that was a hundred times more serious, and not anyone could afford it. ”

"But what?" It was Wanli who asked this, and he faintly felt something, and his heart throbbed.

"Privately break the sea ban, and communicate with the Japanese!" Yang Zhen said softly a few words that broke the earth!
