The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 573 Different Offensive and Defensive Potentials [4000 words two-in-one chapter]

Although Yang Yiqing didn't know what Xie Shen was going to say, he felt very powerful!
Xie Shen also didn't want to go around in circles with Yang Yiqing, so he said directly: "Maybe Mr. Yang thinks the arrangement is perfect, but he didn't expect the people from the West Factory to appear suddenly?"

Yang Yiqing's heart sank when he heard this.

Xie Shen What does this mean?He even took the initiative to admit that Gu Dayong led the crowd to trespass on his Yang residence?

Isn't this head kicked by a donkey?

Although very puzzled, Yang Yiqing was overjoyed.

His original plan was to be able to control Xie Shen, so he was caught in bed, and Xie Shen couldn't justify himself.

But who would have thought that Gu Dayong would come out halfway, and lead a group of gangsters to snatch Xie Shen away abruptly.

In this way, Yang Yiqing's words were unfounded.Those who can testify for him are all servants of the Yang family, and they have no weight.

He originally thought that Xie Shen would find all kinds of excuses and deliberately conceal the part of Gu Dayong saving people.Who would have thought that Xie Shen would say everything in front of the emperor.

Isn't this God helping him?

Zhu Houzhao was also puzzled.Mr. Xie, what does this mean? Could it be that Mr. Yang is telling the truth?

"Hmph, Cifu still has the face to say such a thing? What is the crime of befriending the eunuch of Xichang without authorization? What is the crime of robbing the mansion of a senior official without authorization?"

Yang Yiqing is a veteran official, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will never let go, but will pursue and fight fiercely to maximize the benefits.

"you are wrong."

Xie Shen smiled slightly and said: "Eunuch Gu brought people into your mansion because I didn't return all night, and my family was worried and went to ask Xichang to come forward to investigate. Everyone knows that I went with Master Yang after the farewell banquet that night. At your house. Xie suddenly disappeared, normal people’s thinking is to go to your house first, right? As for the concubine you said, it’s even more nonsense.”

"Hmph, if you say no, then you won't? If you say no, then there won't be? Is Xie Cifu so domineering?"

Yang Yiqing shook his beard and said coldly.

"Of course there is no proof, but what if there is evidence?"

evidence?

How can there be evidence?
Yang Yiqing's complexion was obviously a little ugly. Although he felt that he hadn't shown any flaws, but Xie Shen was so calm, he must have left behind.

"I always thought you were an aphrodisiac in the tea, but now it seems that I was wrong."

Xie Shen smiled wryly and said, "I smelled a strong fragrance as soon as I entered your study. It can only be effective when mixed with tea. Master Yang must have spent a lot of time in making this Acacia San, right?"

"You, you are talking nonsense. What acacia! The old man is also in the room. According to you, why didn't the old man be drugged?"

Yang Yiqing stretched his neck and defended himself.

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is your brilliance. Just like I said just now, if you are drugged, you will think of tea and snacks under normal circumstances, and you will never think of incense. And the acacia powder given by Master Yang , but you have to smell the incense and drink the tea to have the medicinal effect, and you won’t be tricked if you just have one thing. It’s obvious that Master Yang didn’t drink tea.”

Xie Shen has been paying attention to this detail, Yang Yiqing did not drink tea from the beginning to the end.

At first Xie Shen didn't care about it, but now thinking about it, he did it on purpose.

Simply smelling the incense will not be overwhelmed by the medicine, but if you drink tea that has been tampered with at the same time, your whole body will be soft and hot, and you will feel as if you are in heaven.

Everything after that was under Yang Yiqing's arrangement.

Xie Shen was sent to the wing to rest.Yang Yiqing had already arranged for his concubine to seduce Xie Shen, and finally raped him.

At that time, Xie Shen had already lost the ability to resist, man was a knife and I was a fish
"You are talking nonsense. You have done such nasty things and made up such rhetoric. You are really deceiving the king."

Yang Yiqing was caught out of his tricks, sweating profusely, and cursed directly.

"Master Yang really doesn't cry when he sees the coffin."

Xie Shen shook his head, and took out a folded paper bag from his sleeve.

"When we left Lord Yang's mansion, the people from Xichang found the unburned spices in the incense burner, as well as the tea leaves that fell on the corner of the table."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Yang Yiqing's face was ashen.

no no!How is this possible, how is it possible!

Yang Yiqing counted thousands of things, but he didn't count the people in Xichang who were so meticulous in their observations that they even collected spices and tea powder.What's even more exasperating is that they even burned incense and made tea to restore the scene again.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he already understood most of it. He didn't expect Yang Yiqing to be such a hypocrite who behaved the same way as the former.What's even more exasperating is that it specially set up a bureau to entrap Mr. Xie for the purpose of power struggle.

This is really embarrassing to the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. Yang Yiqing has read the books for so many years, and he really read the dog's stomach.

"Yang Qing, what else do you want to say?"

Zhu Houzhao's voice was cold.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this guy's one-sided words. The old minister was wronged."

In an instant, the situation was reversed, and the offensive and defensive momentum was different, which was really gratifying.

"That's enough. If you have anything to say, go talk to the people in Xichang." Zhu Houzhao originally thought that Yang Yiqing would repent, and took the initiative to admit his evil deeds and strive for a lighter sentence.Who knows that this guy still looks like he won't hit the south wall and won't look back, so he has to be handed over to Xichang for interrogation.

Hearing that the emperor was going to be handed over to Xichang by him, Yang Yiqing wanted to bump his head to death.

Strictly speaking, factory guards are scary guys.Whether it is Jinyiwei, Dongchang, or Xichang, they can easily make people lose a layer of skin.But the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.Who doesn't know that Xie Shen has a good relationship with the eunuch Gu Dayong, the admiral of Xichang?
And Xie Shen was rescued from Yang Yiqing's mansion by Gu Dayong.

Now that the emperor called Xichang to interrogate him, wouldn't that be the same as a sentence of death for Yang Yiqing?

Yang Yiqing shook his head unwillingly and said: "Your Majesty really doesn't believe in the old minister? Your Majesty thinks what that guy said is true? How can the old minister be inferior to him?"

"Why do you tell me to believe you? Why don't you try this Hehuan San by yourself?"

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "At the beginning, you were recommended by Mr. Xie to be the governor. I didn't expect that you didn't want to repay your kindness, but you also had the intention of harming others. I know what you think, it is nothing more than the position of the chief assistant .Mr. Xiya's appointment made you feel unreasonable. You just think that Mr. Xie is too young to take over as the chief assistant. This is why you have evil intentions and plan to use this low-handed method to destroy Mr. Xie's reputation. Reputation, let’s take it easy. It’s a pity that the devil is one foot tall, and the road is one foot high. The people in Xichang discovered your plan and left evidence. Otherwise, I might not be really deceived by you, and I have been wronged. Thank you gentlemen."

Yang Yiqing, the majestic governor of the three sides, became a prisoner in an instant, which is inevitably embarrassing.

However, this also allowed the civil and military officials above the court to recognize the situation - His Majesty the Emperor had great trust in Xie Cifu.Anyone who tried to wrestle with Xie Cifu would end badly.

Jian Zai Di Xin these four words are sometimes unacceptable.

Although the opponents Xie Shen faced were all veterans of several dynasties, but with the super hard-core support of Emperor Zhengde, no one could beat him.

Press these without mentioning.However, they said that Yang Yiqing did not accept interrogation immediately after being taken to the West Factory.

This is also Gu Dayong's intention.

Having been engaged in interrogation work for a long time, Gu Dayong has summed up a set of practical experience.

The strategies for dealing with high-ranking officials of the first and second ranks are definitely different from those of middle-level officials of the fourth and fifth ranks.

The middle-level officials of the fourth and fifth ranks themselves have little influence, and more often charge forward as pawns.Once things fail, they are the first to be thrown out as a shield.

Such people are directly tortured and served, not afraid that they will not confess.

However, the senior officials of the first and second ranks are different.

First of all, they have a very high status in the court, and some of them are even disciples and old officials all over the world.If they are punished before they have absolute evidence, they will probably be stained with blood.

Secondly, these senior officials are generally extremely meticulous in their work, and they can calmly deal with accidents.It is difficult for them to speak simply by using torture.To deal with such people, it is obviously more appropriate to play psychological warfare.

Let them hang out first, so that they don't know where the interrogator intends to start.When the time is right, a quick arraignment can often achieve unexpected results.

Yang Yiqing is a high-level official, the governor of the three sides, and he has never seen such a big storm.

Although there is now sufficient evidence to prove that he entrapped Xie Shen, as long as he refuses to plead guilty, the turmoil in the court will not subside.It is not guaranteed that a few speculators will jump out and make a fuss about this matter.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will have a very bad impact on Xie Shen's official reputation.

Even if Xie Shen takes over as chief assistant, it will be difficult to convince the public.

Therefore, Gu Dayong did this for the sake of safety, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After three days in a row, no one interrogated Yang Yiqing, which made old man Yang unable to sit still.

He protested several times and asked Gu Dalai to meet him.

But the jailer didn't listen to his noise, he just ignored the ex-governor's yelling, it's time to play Shuanglu, it's time to drink and drink.

Now Yang Yiqing really panicked.

Regardless of how Gu Dayong interrogated him, he has a way to deal with it.It's a big deal to suffer some flesh and blood, but it can be exchanged for the sympathy of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

But now it seems that Gu Dayong has completely left him alone.

There is only one possibility, that is, the emperor no longer cares about his life or death.

After all, the emperor personally asked Xichang to interrogate him.Gu Dayong needs to be directly responsible to the emperor, so the result of the interrogation is very important, and the confession must be obtained as soon as possible, so that it can be easy to deal with.

But Gu Dayong is not in a hurry at all. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has lost interest in this case?

This is the most terrifying!

Yang Yiqing knew very well that a courtier who was forgotten by the emperor would end up extremely miserable.

Trapped within the high walls of the Xichang Prison, Yang Yiqing was unable to contact his party disciples, and could not obtain any outside information or assistance. up.

And worse things are yet to come.

Yang Yiqing inadvertently heard the news that Xie Shen took over as the chief assistant of the cabinet from several prison guards.

This news, which sounds very ordinary to ordinary people, almost made Yang Yiqing feel bad.

He originally thought that Xie Shen would take over as chief assistant after his case was closed, but he never thought that Xie Shen would take over Li Dongyang's mantle and become the new chief assistant of Zhengde Dynasty just a few days after he was imprisoned.

Doesn't this mean that no matter how his case is pronounced, it won't affect Xie Shen?
This sense of gap made Yang Yiqing almost collapse, and even responded with a hunger strike.

It's a pity that his stomach was not as good as he imagined, and he still took the initiative to eat the bowl of coarse grain prison rice after two days of hunger strike.

Just after Yang Yiqing's psychological defense completely collapsed, Gu Dayong finally decided to interrogate him.

At this moment, Yang Yiqing no longer had the spirit of confrontation before, and confessed everything in every way.

This surprised Gu Dayong.He originally thought that Yang Yiqing would still pester him, but he never thought that he would actually recruit them.

Maybe this is the reason why grief is greater than death.

The normal reaction of an old politician, an old bureaucrat, when he learns that his career is hopeless.

Gu Dayong ordered the scribes to record Yang Yiqing's confession in detail, and immediately sent it to the emperor Zhu Houzhao.

The next thing will be handed over to Zhu Houzhao.

The Son of Heaven will personally judge Yang Yiqing's fate.

However, this is not an easy task. After all, Yang Yiqing is a veteran of the three dynasties and has a very high status in the civil official group.If the handling is slightly improper, it will arouse strong opposition from the civil service group.

But if he spared Yang Yiqing easily, Zhu Houzhao felt sorry for Xie Shen.

The entanglement in it is really not enough for outsiders to understand.

At times like this, Zhu Houzhao usually thought of Xie Shen, but Xie Shen was the person involved in this matter, so it was really hard to ask.

Zhu Houzhao struggled for three days without making a final decision.

Finally, Gu Dingchen couldn't stand it anymore.

He personally wrote a letter, asking the emperor to exile the former governor Yang Yiqing to Qiongzhou.

Now Gu Dingchen is the second in command of the cabinet, so his words still carry a lot of weight.

After Gu Dingchen wrote the letter, many officials of science and Taoism echoed and agreed with Cifu's petition.

Zhu Houzhao was no longer embarrassed by the statements of the ministers, and readily agreed to the request of Gu Dingchen and the officials.

These speech officials are the most rudderless, seeing that Xie Shen's victory is already determined, they want to make the icing on the cake, and naturally they don't hesitate to make a move if they can sell the benefits.

Zhu Houzhao was naturally so happy.

First of all, this punishment suggestion was put forward by the civil official group itself, and he was just following the wishes of all officials.

Second, the punishment is not too cruel.Zhu Houzhao himself doesn't like to kill people, not to mention that Yang Yiqing, a veteran of the three dynasties, is too degrading to kill in Xishi.Although his methods were a bit sloppy, after all, the crime did not warrant death, and exile was the most appropriate punishment, which could abolish Yang Yiqing's political life without decapitating him.

Sometimes for a politician, killing his political life is more desperate than taking his life.

The emperor resolved a farce with thunderous means, and the power transfer of the first assistant was also without any danger.Manchu officials and even the emperor himself could finally refocus on politics.This point is crucial, because the Zhengde New Deal is in the most critical period of implementation, and any small change at this moment will make the Ming Empire go in a completely different direction.
