When Yang Zhen returned home from the Zhenfu Division, Yang Chen had been waiting in his hall for a long time. And because he waited for Yang Zhen for a long time, he looked a little anxious. It's not that he doesn't have enough qi cultivation skills, just because things are too close to the two brothers, and he is talking to Yang Zhen, so he doesn't pretend too much.

As soon as he saw Yang Chen's posture, Yang Zhen laughed clearly: "It seems that this matter has spread faster than the "Discussion of Anxiety", but in just one day, it has spread all over the capital. ”

"Someone is behind the scenes, can this matter spread quickly?" Yang Chen smiled bitterly, but after seeing his brother's smiling face, his heart had already settled a lot, presumably things were not bad enough to be uncontrollable.

However, he still asked with some eagerness: "Is it true that someone came to confess their sins, as rumored outside?" ”

"Exactly, and it's just a seven-grade imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he can't even be considered cannon fodder." Yang Zhen pursed his lips as if sneering: "Are they really stupid and can't see their intentions, or do they think I can't cope with such a scene?" As he spoke, he shook his head disapprovingly.

"You...... Already have a countermeasure? Yang Chen heard the sound outside the strings, and his heart was more determined, but he still asked.

"It seems that you don't have much confidence in this, big brother! You know, this is what our brothers did together, and what we want is not only to teach them some lessons, but how can they throw a waste and turn the situation back? Yang Zhen smiled and comforted.

After a pause, he continued: "I have already tried the guy who came to confess in the Suppression Division before, and it is full of flaws, and it is not worth refuting at all. ”

"It's best to be so natural." While finally breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Chen asked again, "How are you going to deal with them?" "From responding to to countering, the initiative has completely changed.

"I'm already working on breaking this game." Yang Zhen smiled indifferently, but his eyes flashed with essence, he hadn't played with someone like this for a long time, although he mentioned Wang Wei in the previous battle about the clan, he was just a bystander, but this time, he was going to end up in person.

Then he said: "And in addition to solving their problems, I will also take the initiative to completely muddy this water, but I want to see how they deal with it." If you don't eat my toast before, you can't only invite them to drink this glass of fine wine! ”

Seeing him show the appearance of when he was fighting with others, even Yang Chen felt a little chill in his heart. Those previous enemy opponents were much more powerful than the current Shen Shixing and others, and they were not defeated by Yang Zhen one by one, this time he had already made a decision, and he would definitely let some people know that he was powerful.

While feeling emotional, Yang Chen couldn't help but say, "Do you need my help?" ”

"For the time being, you don't need to come forward, big brother, when the time comes, you can say a few words in the court and beat a side drum. After all, you are different from me, so it's better not to offend people to death. Yang Zhen seemed very rational at this point, Yang Chen really shouldn't make the relationship too stiff with those courtiers.

"Okay." Yang Chen was relieved, so he smiled and nodded.

But those officials and their families in the capital don't know that Yang Zhen has a means of countermeasures, in order to save their colleagues and families, they can be active next, not only quickly spread the news, but also some people started to write a note, hoping that the Son of Heaven will order Jinyiwei to release people, after all, those officials are innocent.

And this time, even several pavilion elders also participated in this rescue activity. They know too well the essence of this matter, this is a battle between the monarch and the minister, and it is the suppression of the monarch's power by the minister's power all along, so naturally they can't lose. Moreover, as long as it can be done, whether it is Shen Shixing or those other adults, their reputation will inevitably increase greatly, so this opportunity naturally cannot be missed.

If it was just an ordinary official's plea, the Son of Heaven would not take it seriously. But now even a few cabinet ministers and monks have spoken, and even Wanli has to deal with it carefully, so not long after these songs were handed into the palace, he issued an order to summon Yang Zhen into the palace.

When he saw the Son of Heaven, Yang Zhen saw his face full of confusion. Yang Zhen can still guess eight or nine without leaving ten, the emperor does not want to let people go like this, and feels that it is difficult to deal with and explain, and he is also worried that once things are like this, he will not be able to take down a culprit, and his prestige will be hit a lot.

So after a while, Tianzi asked, "Yang Qing, what is your opinion on this matter?" He was not the slightest surprised.

After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen said, "Your Majesty is unwilling?" ”

Such a direct rhetorical question was also said by Yang Zhen in front of the Son of Heaven. And Wanli was stunned for a moment, and actually nodded a little honestly: "Yes, I really don't want to release those guys like this." Otherwise, once they grow their prestige, the matter of establishing a prince will be very noisy. ”

"In that case, let's not let it go." Yang Zhen said immediately.

"But......" Seeing that he answered so happily, Wanli was stunned, and just wanted to say that the culprit had already surrendered, and then he understood: "The person who surrendered to Jinyiwei is not the real author of the demon book?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the case. As soon as the minister made a temptation, he already saw the problem in his words. Yang Zhen said and explained his judgment.

And after listening to his clear explanation, Wanli nodded vigorously in agreement: "What Yang Qing said is indeed reasonable!" Then, his expression was stunned again: "They are really bold, they dare to use such tricks to deceive me!" ”

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry because of this, which shows that their hearts are weak. This kind of means will not be on the table, as long as we break it at that point, it will be worthless, and we can still suppress their arrogance a bit. Yang Zhen hurriedly persuaded.

When Wanli heard this, he turned his anger into joy, and nodded vigorously: "You are right, I really don't need to be angry. After a pause, something came to mind: "Yang Qing, you said that, there must be a way to deal with it?" ”

"Exactly, but this requires His Majesty's approval, and this time the minister wants to openly argue with them!" Yang Zhen said without the slightest hesitation.

"Do you want to come to the Three Divisions to interrogate this again?" The emperor glanced at him thoughtfully, and then frowned again: "But these people are all the way this time, and it's not easy for you to argue with them." ”

Indeed, although the triage of the three divisions is rigorous, it must also be under the premise of fairness. If even the officials of the three yamen were biased, this case would naturally not be able to be tried.

"No, the minister doesn't want to be interrogated by the three divisions, but wants to argue with them at the court meeting." Yang Zhen shook his head and said his true purpose.

Wanli was stunned for a moment, and then showed a knowing smile. Yang Zhen really slipped his head, the initiative of the triage of the three divisions was in the three law divisions, which was held by those officials, but the court meeting was different, there was only one person who could really call the shots - when today's son Wanli!

"Do you really have the confidence to convince them at the court?" Wanli couldn't help but ask again.

Yang Zhen nodded: "Not only that, but the minister also has an idea, and I also hope to solve it for His Majesty at this court meeting." ”

"But what?" Looking at Yang Zhen's solemn face, Wanli was nervous for no reason, as if the thing that he desperately wanted to do, but couldn't do anything, could have a result this time.

Sure enough, Yang Zhen looked directly at the Son of Heaven: "Didn't Your Majesty always want the third prince to be the crown prince?" The minister thought that at this court meeting, he could use this momentum to force them to agree. ”

Wanli was stunned, although he hoped to achieve this wish day and night, he also knew how difficult it was. In fact, he has regretted it a little recently, he shouldn't have shown such thoughts before, otherwise how could he have the trouble now? But now it is difficult to ride a tiger, whether it is for his own wishes or for the prestige of being the Son of Heaven, he must persevere.

After being stunned for a while, Wanli said in a slightly unconvinced and trembling voice: "Yang Qing, are you serious?" Do you really have a way to get them to change their minds? "How can you do something that even I, the Son of Heaven, can't do?

Yang Zhen nodded: "The minister will do everything he can to facilitate this." However, it is not for them to change their minds, but for them to choose this path. ”

"Force them ......" The emperor's eyes flashed with a strange light, and a long-lost blood began to rush to the top of his head: "I believe in you, you will not disappoint me!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in your ministers!" Yang Zhen hurriedly thanked him, and there was something shiny in his eyes.

Whether it was Jinyiwei or the Son of Heaven, they all turned a deaf ear to the ministers' requests, which made the ministers feel a little restless. Are they going to drag it out like this?

In this regard, many people openly expressed their dissatisfaction, and some of them were anxious, and even once again proposed to use resignation as a means of coercion, otherwise where would the righteousness of the DPRK and the central government and the reputation of the courtiers exist?

And this time, even a few elders didn't say anything. Obviously, Shen Shixing and the others were also a little annoyed, and they just wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the momentum of the Son of Heaven.

The situation between the DPRK and China suddenly became depressed, as if a storm was brewing in it, and a catastrophe could erupt at any time.

But at this moment, Wanli, who had been saying that he was sick in the early dynasty these days, and had not even seen the foreign ministers, suddenly passed down a decree that a great court meeting would be held, and he made a decision about this matter.

When this news spread, everyone in the officialdom and the people paid attention to it. So it was obvious to everyone that a decisive battle was about to begin......
