"You......" After Yang Zhen sent Father-in-law Ying out and came back, Yang Chen looked at him with complaint and said: "At the beginning of your training of those captains, I persuaded you that this is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and this is likely to bring trouble, but you don't think so." How is the pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info how is it now, it really made people grab the handle and target it, right? But what should I do? ”

Faced with this question, Yang Zhen was obviously much calmer than his brother, although he also frowned, he didn't worry too much, and said softly: "Actually, I have already thought of this, but I didn't expect them to move so fast, and they just spoke before I was ready." ”

"Huh? Have you thought of a solution? Yang Chen heard the meaning of his words and hurriedly asked.

Yang Zhen nodded and admitted: "Yes, you say that I'm stupid to be a brother, do you know that doing this will attract taboos?" It's just that I've been busy practicing before, and I've put my mind on the case in Xiangshan in the past few days, so I didn't make any plans early. ”

"And how are you going to deal with this incident? Although from the words of Father-in-law Ying, it seems that His Majesty has not been completely moved by what they said, and how much suspicion he has about you, but doubts must be indispensable. You'll need to clarify this matter with him as soon as possible. ”

After he said this, he saw Yang Zhen shaking his head categorically: "No, if I go to explain to His Majesty now, it may really make him suspicious." ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Yang Chen was stunned at first, but soon, he understood the reason. If Yang Zhen went to explain now, wouldn't he be telling the emperor that he had his own people by his side? And even the little emperor can't stand this kind of internal and external collusion, so Yang Zhen will really be regarded as a threat by Wanli. Thinking of this, Yang Chen's expression became even more nervous: "In this way, you don't even have a chance to explain, how can this be good?" ”

"If something like this had happened a few days ago, I would have felt helpless. But today, things are different. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"I just got an amazing result today, which is about the case of the female corpse in Xiangshan." Yang Zhen said, and told the case he asked from Lin Tiande that it was related to Wuqing Bofu.

After listening to his words, Yang Chen's expression became even more serious: "There is still such a thing? Now your problem is even more tricky, Wu Qingbo has a close relationship with His Majesty, if you really report it truthfully, I am afraid that it will greatly offend Your Majesty, and even ......" In the end, his eyes were full of worry.

Feeling the concern from his brother, Yang Zhen was a little moved in his heart, but his face was very indifferent: "Big brother, are you afraid that I will be snubbed by His Majesty because of this, so as to give Feng Bao and the others more opportunities to be framed?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"If I just convict the case like this, it will naturally be as you feared, big brother. But what if there is something else going on in this case? Yang Zhen suddenly asked.

"Huh? Is there still a problem? Did Lin Tiande do anything from it? ”

"No, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to do anything about this, but I have another opinion, so I can go and meet with Your Majesty, and take the opportunity to clarify the matter of military training." Yang Zhen quickly expressed his thoughts. After hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned at first, and then had to nod and admit: "Your method is indeed a good way to solve these two major problems with one stone, but this requires Your Majesty's trust in you, are you really sure?" ”

"Although I am not 100% sure, with my understanding of today, there are still seven or eight points." Yang Zhen gave his opinion very confidently.

Because of Yang Zhen's incident, Wanli's mood was much lower than before. For Yang Zhen, he really regarded him as a friend, because it was under his persuasion and encouragement that Wanli passed the lowest ebb in the first two years, and slowly gained a certain prestige in the court by relying on his advice, although it was not enough to compete with Zhang Juzheng and them, but the prestige of the Son of Heaven was much stronger than before.

Moreover, Yang Zhen is not only his friend, but also a capable courtier. Whether it was the Lantern Festival arson case that shook the Beijing Division, or the Datong Mutiny in Shanxi, he was always able to do things properly as soon as he came out, which naturally made it easier for Wanli to rely on him.

But it was such a courtier who was deeply trusted by him, but this time he did such an illegal thing under his nose, and actually trained his troops privately, which was a particularly serious blow to Wanli. made him have the idea that he had been deceived by Yang Zhen all along, and wanted to ask him face-to-face whether he was loyal or rebellious, and whether he had any disobedience.

It seems that he knows the emperor's uneasiness and unhappiness, and after the morning of this day, someone reported outside the palace, saying that Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu Yang Zhen asked to see him outside the palace, and he had something important to do.

Hearing this news, Wanli was overjoyed at first, and then his brows furrowed: "Why did he suddenly want to see me at this time?" Could it be that he already knew something, and came to tell him? Thinking of this, the little emperor, who already had some scheming, looked around vigilantly, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything strange at all.

Since Yang Zhen had asked to see him outside the palace, Wanli was not easy to see, so he said that he wanted to see what kind of explanation and explanation Yang Zhen could give to calm his anger and suspicions.

After a while, Yang Zhencai, who was dressed in a flying fish suit, strode into the hall, just looking at his solemn and slightly flustered look, Wanli felt that he must have come to cry out. This thought made the emperor's heart even more unhappy, and his face became cold, and after Yang Zhen saluted, he said lightly: "Calm down, I don't know what happened to Yang Qing entering the palace today?" Although there was no change in his title, his tone and expression were completely different from when he saw Yang Zhen in the past.

Feng Bao, who had been standing behind the emperor, saw this, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen, this is your own death." As soon as we made a move, you rushed to explain, didn't you tell Your Majesty that you have eyeliner by his side? Thinking of this, Gonggong Feng's eyes quickly swept over the surrounding servants, thinking about who leaked the news, and he had to get rid of this guy as soon as possible.

But Yang Zhen didn't seem to feel the emperor's indifference and dissatisfaction, and just said: "Your Majesty, the minister asked to see him today for an extremely important matter, which is related to the reputation of a person who is very close to Your Majesty. Therefore, the minister dares to ask His Majesty to retreat! He bowed deeply.

"What is important, what kind of people are close to you, I can't imagine that you Yang Zhen is still so thick-skinned, and you actually use this as an excuse." Feng Bao's eyes were even more full of disdain, and he felt that Wanli would definitely not agree.

Unexpectedly, after a long silence, the emperor spoke: "Big companion, you should take someone to step down, and let me and Yang Qing have a good talk." ”

"But Your Majesty ......" Feng Bao was slightly surprised and wanted to object, but after a pair of Wanli's firm eyes, he didn't dare to object anymore. In the past two years, the prestige of the Son of Heaven has become heavier, and he really does not dare to confront it head-on, so he can only bow his head and agree, and then beckon the other attendants in the palace to exit the door together, and finally close the heavy temple door, so that the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers in the palace is not afraid of being overheard.

Seeing Feng Baona's reluctance, but finally retreated from his fate, Wanli felt quite happy. Thinking that all this was also due to Yang Zhen, the little emperor's eyes softened a little when he looked at him: "Now there are only me and you in the palace, Yang Qing, can you explain your intentions now?" ”

"Yes, the minister just said, I hope Your Majesty won't be angry at that time." Yang Zhen arched his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, the minister got an errand from Liu Shouyou, and he wanted to investigate a case that caused a lot of trouble last year......

Hearing him say such a thing, Wanli was surprised, and at the same time he was relieved: "It turns out that he really has other important things to report here, but I have wronged him a little as a matter of course." Thinking of this, the emperor's expression softened even more.

It's just that as Yang Zhen said it, the emperor's expression became solemn again, and even a touch of gloom. After a while, he patted the imperial case in front of him: "Yang Qing, what you said is the truth?" Is there any evidence to prove that this case is indeed related to Wu Qingbo? When he said the last few words, the little emperor's voice trembled a little.

He knew very well that if this was really as Yang Zhen said, it would definitely be a big scandal for the royal family, and it would be difficult for him to make a decision at that time, whether it was better for Yang Zhen to suppress the case or handle it impartially.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the truth of this case has not really been found out, it must be wrong to have something to do with Wuqing Bofu, otherwise the two officials who investigated the case before would not have ended like that. This matter is very related to the relatives of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and the ministers dare not make assertions, so they can only enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to decide. Yang Zhen confirmed, and threw the question to the emperor again.

Wanli's fat face couldn't help but tremble, and he said after a while: "This ...... I don't know what to do with it. Yang Qing, tell me about it, what should I do about this? Unconsciously, Wanli asked Yang Zhen for advice again, just as when he felt the pressure from the Queen Mother, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao and was helpless.

Yang Zhen was waiting for his question, and after a little muttering, he said the words he had prepared earlier: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, if you want to return the innocence of Wu Qingbo and the royal family, you must let the minister investigate this matter deeply and find out the real murderer." Otherwise, it will only make Wu Qingbo bear a crime that can never be washed away! ”
