Chapter 814 Old Fox
Yang Tinghe was surprisingly calm, not as angry as imagined. On the contrary, he looked around the ministers with a smile, and finally saluted the superior virtue: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty."
Zhengde said in astonishment, "Is what Lu Wan said true? Do you really mean to make him draw troops and horses in order to bring back the back of the river?
Yang Tinghe sighed: "Your Majesty Mingjian, how can these things be done by ministers? The two dynasties have been ministers. Over the years, they dare not claim meritorious, but they also know the overall situation of the country and what matters. If the old minister had been confused, he would have been ashamed to resign and dare not take the position of cabinet.
Zhengde said, "That's what I think, so how do you explain this? Now that Lu Wan points to you face to face, do you have nothing to defend?"
Yang Tinhe said: "Those who are clear themselves, and those who are turbid are turbid; if people think that I am the kind of person who secretly interferes regardless of the overall situation, I will be regarded as a sophistry. To be honest, Lord Lu's actions were indeed known in advance, but I thought it was just the words of Lu University's population, but I didn't expect... Hey... I didn't expect him to really do this, and I didn't report it to the cabinet. The old minister was also extremely shocked to hear the news today.
Lu Wan went mad and shouted, "Well, you Yang Tinghe, but you are clean. This is the consensus you and I reached on the steps outside the Fengtian Hall. Can you argue now?"
Yang Tinghe sighed and looked at Lu Wan's red face and said lightly, "Lord Lu, is there any evidence of your words?"
Lu Wan said angrily, "How can there be any witness for such things? Only you and I are present."
Yang Tinghe said quietly, "You don't have it, but I do." On that day, I thought you were just verbally angry. You were reprimanded by the Duke of Zhen for improper command, which led to chaos in the northwest war situation. I could understand your feelings when you said those words full of hatred against the Duke of Zhen in your heart, so I didn't take it seriously. I just want to ask you, did I agree when you said these words?
Lu Wan was stunned, and Ai Ai said, "You said that day, 'You are the head of the military department. Just ask me these things and just do your own things.'"
Yang Tinghe said, "Lord Lu has a good memory. Let the emperor and your adults listen. Have I encouraged you to do this? I will let you do your job, instead of asking you to pull the back leg of the Duke of Zhen regardless of the interests of the court."
Lu Wan shouted, "You are not in this tone. What you said at that time meant acquiescence to me to do so."
Yang Tinhe shook his head and said, "Lord Lu misunderstood the meaning of Tinghe. What I mean by saying is that I don't agree. If I agree to do such a big thing, I will naturally make a clear statement. I just saw that you were emotional that day, so I vaguely said things and took care of your emotions. But how can I agree to insent you to do this?"
Lu Wan's body trembled angrily and pointed to Yang Tinghe and said, "Okay... What a Yang University scholar, this is fooling me as a monkey."
Yang Tinghe said righteously, "Lord Lu, facts are facts. If you insist on understanding that I acquiesce to you to do this, I can provide some evidence to prove my innocence."
Lu Wan sneered and said, "I'd like to see your means, Lord Yang."
Yang Tinghe said lightly, "After listening to your words that day, I returned to the cabinet public room. I was very uneasy. Tinghe had the habit of writing notes, so I wrote down the conversation with you that day in my notes. If you are interested, I can read what I wrote that day in public."
Zhengde said, "Existrate."
A chambermai quickly walked out of the cabinet house to pick up Yang Tingyu's notes. The hall was briefly silent, and the atmosphere was suffocating. Lu Wanzhi looked at Yang Tinhe with a fierce nose. Yang Tingyu looked at the golden dragon on the pillar with his hands on his back. The officials looked at the two nervously. Zhengde on the dragon seat leaned on the armrest and coughed from time to time. Everyone had their own thoughts and didn't know what they were thinking.
Song Nan, the Duke of Daming Town, looked at the expressions of the crowd with a smile and interest. He was very satisfied. After throwing this matter, Lu Wan and Yang Tinghe finally bit each other. This scene was difficult to see. Originally, Song Nan's intention today was to bring down Lu Wan. In the past, he maintained restraint from foreign court officials and tried not to intensify the contradictions. However, Song Nan hated Lu Wan's move that day. He could not tolerate Lu Wan's position as a minister of the Ministry of War. Lu Wan fainted to bite Yang Tinghe, which Song Nan didn't expect, but he was happy to see.
If Yang Tinghe was bitten by Lu Wan today and can't get out, it would be a surprise, but Song Nan knew in her heart that if he was knocked down so easily, it would be impossible for Yang Tinghe to lead the outer court to become a leader. From the time when Yang Tinghe said the so-called notes, Song Nan understood that the resourceful Yang Tinghe may I have been ready for today. In this way, this person is much more terrible than he thought.
The awkward silence did not last long, and soon the servant took Yang Tinghe's notes. The literati in this era have the habit of taking notes and writing essays. Yang Tinhe's essay records also have a beautiful and elegant name called "Shi Zhai Collection". The bound blue cover and the correct regular title of the book are very learned. The breath of art.
Yang Ting and the notes in the result's hand, turned to a page in the middle and said, "Yes, on September 11 of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, the court discussed the resumption of the battle. After the court meeting, you had that conversation on the steps in front of this hall, didn't you?"
Lu Wan gritted his teeth and said, "That's good."
Yang Tinhe nodded and said, "That's it. Please have a look. This is the text written by the minister on that day, which involves this conversation."
Zhengde waved his hand and ordered people to take the notes and motioned Zhang Yong to read them in public. Zhang Yong spread the notes in his hand, and his sharp voice sounded through the whole audience: "... Today, the court discussed the resumption of the Northern Expedition. The Duke of Zhen insisted on the Northern Expedition. I thought that the time was feasible, but the treasury was not enough money and food to supply the soldiers and horses. I privately planned to Relax for a period of time. Only the government refused and intended to raise money and food to go on an expedition, which set an unprecedented precedent, and I don't know if it is appropriate. As an important minister of the imperial court, I can't improve the empty state of the treasury. I'm very sorry..."
This is the first time Song Nan has heard Yang Tinghe's real views on the Northern Expedition. If the state of mind recorded in this note is true, it shows that Yang Ting and the day did not know that it was the best time to recover the Hetao in the Northern Expedition. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. His intention is actually to ease a period of time to raise money and food, but not a Wei objected.
However, Song Nan expressed great doubts about the authenticity of this note. When Lu Wan bit him, he immediately threw out the diary to show his innocence. It seemed to be nothing, but Song Nan smelled a sense of exhausting arrangement. Maybe there are too many conspiracies that I have seen and played with. Is this an unfounded worry? A villain is the belly of a gentleman?
"It is not only this matter that worries me. It is very inappropriate for Lu Quanqing to secretly obstruct the northward, and it is very inappropriate to transfer the guards from the northwest. Think of the overall situation first, followed by private grievances. If you mess up the overall situation with personal grievances, it will be a disaster. Previously, I thought that Quanqing was stable and moderate. If it is true, this person is not suitable to take on a big responsibility. I hope Quanqing can understand this and don't do something out of line, otherwise Yu will also put it out of private and focus on impeachment. Hey, national affairs worries, personnel worries, taking care of yourself, hair like frost, what can I do? The only thing to do is to live up to the emperor's kindness and the people at dawn..."
Zhang Yong's thin voice fell, and the hall was silent. The meaning of this record was obvious. Yang Ting and the words he said to Lu Wan were deeply worried. He even said that if Lu Wan dared to do so, he would be the first to impeach Lu Wan and put aside his personal feelings aside, taking national events as the cloud.
Lu Wan wanted to cry without tears. He didn't expect Yang Tinghe to have such a backhand. It was not until this time that he realized how deep the intact was hidden by Yang Tinghe's superficial indifference. On that day, Yang Ting and his words encouraged him to do so, and suddenly the so-called mood record that suddenly appeared was completely different. One theory can be said to be the three caves of cunning rabbits.
Lu Wan also understood that he had long been the chess piece that could be abandoned in Yang Tinghe's mind. After Liu Jin's death, the only head of the foreign court was Lu Wan, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the brains of the rest of the cabinet departments were replaced one after another. Privately, Lu Wan thought it was his own ability. At this moment He knew that he was not in Yang Tinghe's small group from beginning to end. The various gestures made by Yang Tinhe before were just using his stupidity as tools to use.
"Papa." A crisp sound sounded in the hall. The civil and military officials were surprised to find that the sound was slapping himself. Lu Wan did not regret that he was about to be sent to prison. He hated himself so much that he was stupid and became a tool for others. It was ridiculous that he thought that he had always had a backer and acted recklessly. He became a pawn driven by others. Up to now, he has been kicked away by others and abandoned it.
Song Nan looked at the landing with some pity and observed a moment of silence for the Ming minister who was about to close the curtain call. Looking at the indifferent faces of Yang Ting and Qing Jun Wubo, Song Nan couldn't help sighing: "Yang Ting and Yang Tinghe have to admit that you have a set of thing, but if you do this, I'm afraid your foreign court will no longer be monolithic. The decline has become, what should you do to save it?
