Yang Chen's sudden outburst and eloquent conversation shocked everyone present, including Wanli, the Son of Heaven, who was also staring at this strange courtier with a surprised face at the moment, he even had some illusions, could this be Yang Zhen pretending?

However, although Yang Chen is Yang Zhen's brother, there are still many differences in the appearance of the two, and the one standing in front of him at this time, unfolding that book, is indeed the usually silent and low-key Ministry of Works waiter Yang Chen!

Soon, the eyes of Wanli and the courtiers in front of him shifted from Yang Chen's body to the book in his hand, because this thing was a little shocking at a rough glance, it was actually a red piece, as if it had been splashed with a lot of blood.

"Yang Qing, what is this?" Because Wanli was in a high place, farther away from Yang Chen, he couldn't see what was on it, so he asked with some curiosity.

However, several officials not far from Yang Chen could already see clearly, there were not only calligraphy written in blood and ink, but also neat or clumsy signatures, and even a long string of dense handprints. At a glance, these people had already guessed something, and their faces changed slightly.

And Yang Chen hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the blood petition of the people collected by Yang Zhen from Shanxi Datong!" What is written on it is from the hearts of the local people, who plead with Your Majesty and beg the imperial court to send troops to pacify the Mongols as soon as possible in order to protect their homeland......"

As soon as these words came out, the empty square suddenly fell completely silent, and those people who wanted to argue with Yang Chen just now subconsciously shrank back, they already knew that something was wrong.

In fact, these officials who are open-mouthed and righteous and moral-minded know very well in their hearts that what they are saying is just some false truths. But as long as their momentum is enough, and Yang Zhen can't show up to defend himself, they can still knock down this opponent and make it stink. But now, once people can come up with some substantial evidence to prove that Yang Zhen did it for the country and the people, then their arguments will be very untenable.

It's a pity that at this time, they are all standing in full view of everyone, and they can't return to the class, otherwise they would have given up arguing a long time ago, just as if nothing had happened.

Yang Chen's words continued: "Your Majesty, Yang Zhen dared to make such a determination and order, even if he knew that it would provoke the criticism of scholars all over the world, he would use this violent means to use troops against the Mongolian Tartars, this is the key." The people of the north have suffered for a long time, and how many innocent people have been killed and how many families have been ruined...... Moreover, the Tartars have never stopped, and every year a large number of men and horses are always sent to invade our borders.

"Yes, we are in Beijing, and our family is in the Central Plains or Jiangnan, so we are naturally safe and sound, and we don't have to worry about any danger at all. But they are different. But these people need to be terrified at all times, and they don't know that one day the Tartars will come to them, cut off their own heads, and take their wives and daughters captive...... Your Majesty, they are also the people of my Ming Dynasty, how can the court abandon them?

"If you want to protect these people, it is not enough to build the Great Wall and garrison the border. What we have to do is to take the initiative to attack, so that the Tartars will not dare to invade our borders again, and they will be afraid, so that they will know that it is very high to pay a very high price for offending our Ming Dynasty and hurting our people, so as to ensure the safety of the people in the border areas. ”

These words are really reasonable, not only did the Son of Heaven nod frequently when he heard it, but even those officials who wanted to contradict Yang Chen couldn't come up with a rebuttal for a while. After all, they are officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they eat the food of the Ming Dynasty, so they have to speak to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

This blood letter and signature were handed over to Yang Zhen by the local people. Among them, of course, there are well-educated scholars, but more of them are illiterate ordinary people. When they knew that Yang Zhen was a messenger of the imperial court and could make decisions for them, they sent such a bloody petition to the imperial court...... Your Majesty, Yang Zhen has always been loyal and upright, and after knowing the suffering of the people, he naturally wants to seek justice for them! ”

Wanli was already solemn and dignified at this time, he was at this age when he was full of emotions and was very susceptible to external influences, when he heard that the people under his rule were harmed like this, and he also gave the court a blood letter, his blood went straight up, and he quickly nodded and said: "Present the things to me." ”

"Yes!" Yang Chen took a step forward and walked up with the blood book in his hand, and soon an attendant came to him and took the blood book. After handing over this thing, Yang Chen said again: "Your Majesty, there are still some grievances of local people here to be reported, which are all tragic things they have personally experienced. As he spoke, he took out a few more confessions from his bosom.

"Present it together, and watch it together after we disperse." Wanli's eyes drooped and swept towards the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say about this now?" ”

The necks of those officials who shouted at Yang Zhen just now shrank suddenly, but they didn't dare to make contact with the emperor's gaze. They could see that the Son of Heaven was convinced of this, and hated the Mongolian Tartars who killed their own people, how could they dare to attack Yang Zhen at this time?

Seeing that those guys who were still menacing just now are now shrinking, Li Fuzhuo, the squire of the military department, is also nervous in his heart. If they fail today, they will lose more than just face. When the time comes, the enemy who is hiding underneath will take advantage of this to attack him in turn.

At this time, Li Shilang obviously had the feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger, although he knew that being stubborn at this moment would inevitably provoke the wrath of the Son of Heaven, he could only hold on to the end. So after quickly turning his mind, he said again: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a word to play." ”

"Say." Wanli glanced at the squire with some displeasure, but still granted his request.

"Your Majesty, after all, the minister has limited knowledge about the affairs of the Northland......" He had just said this, but Yang Chen had already asked aggressively: "What, Lord Li is referring to Yang Zhen fabricating all this?" ”

"Don't dare, but why the imperial court has not received such a blood letter for more than a hundred years, until today, there is such a release, this really makes people have to think deeply." Li Fuzhuo is a little-for-tat.

This begs the question of why the local officials refused to report the truth. If you want me to say, the reason for this is that no one in the court dares to tell the truth, even if they really report the truth, I am afraid they will be suppressed by you, after all, the court has long been accustomed to reporting good news and not bad news! Yang Chen replied without giving an inch.

These words not only slapped Li Fuzhuo's face, but also brought other important ministers who ridiculed him, which made everyone's faces change, but they couldn't do it again.

After a pause, Yang Chen said again: "As for whether the content is true or not, it is actually very easy to identify, there are people from the north among the officials of the DPRK and China, and they have many family members there, how can they not know the roots." For example, Zhong Zongxian, who has traveled all over Shanxi, should have a deep understanding of this. ”

This made many people's eyes fall on Zhong Yu, and the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate smiled bitterly at this time: "It seems that I can't hide from this matter." ”

Regarding the ministers' attack on Yang Zhen, Zhong Yu did not mean to reconcile. Now he is very different from many years ago, he has become more stable, and he doesn't want to offend people too much, especially things like offending Manchu officials.

So although he had a good relationship with Yang Zhen and knew that he had been misinterpreted, he just kept silent. But he didn't want Yang Chen to let him watch from the wall all the time, so he directly threw the question over.

Faced with such a situation, Zhong Yu could only speak: "Yes, the people in the Datong area are indeed in dire straits, and they are often in danger, and even more people are ruined, and the ministers are also insightful." ”

With this one of the few high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the central government speaking for him, no one dared to question Yang Chen's words, even Li Fuzhuo, and he didn't feel a little dazed.

Fortunately, this one has another set of arguments to target, so he said: "Even if what you say is true, it only needs to kill those Tartars who have invaded my borders, but you don't have to do anything to those innocent herdsmen, even the old and weak women and children, right?" As the saying goes, don't do unto others as you would have them do unto you, this is the way of the saints......"

"Hahahaha......" His words were exchanged for a burst of laughter from Yang Chen: "It's really a woman's opinion!" ”

"You ......" Li Fuzhuo's face became extremely gloomy, and he almost went up to do something with him, this scolding is a woman's statement, but it is too serious, it is more unbearable than scolding him livestock.

But Yang Chen didn't give him a chance to fight back at all, and immediately said: "If it is an ordinary war between the two countries, we should talk about some ways of forgiveness." But for those savage tartars, it is not used at all. Their old and weak women and children are also a threat to my Ming Dynasty, because those old people were murderers of my Ming people in the past, as for the children, needless to say.

"And if you keep talking about saints, it will be even more despicable! Confucius never taught us to be merciful to our enemies. His old man once said that he repaid his grievances with virtue, how could he repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue! As an official of the imperial court, you ate the food handed over by the people, and did not think about the welfare of the people, but you always thought about the innocence of the Tartars, and dared to ask Lord Li, are you Han or Mongolian? ”

This last question was too damning, making Li Fuzhuo's whole face flush, but he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

And those people around him also knew at this time that they couldn't make a fuss about this matter anymore, so they could only be indifferent, even if Li Fuzhuo was in an extremely embarrassing situation, they couldn't do it.

This is officialdom, a place that only talks about interests, not friendships.
