"Yang Yan, why did you present this memorial to His Majesty?" He Xueyi asked first.

Chu Ge tried his best to raise his head: "As a minister of the Great Wei, I report to Your Majesty that it is my duty to be a monarch, a famous minister, and to impeach treacherous men!"

He Xueyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Okay, then I'll ask you again.

"Who is behind the memorial you posted?"

Chu Ge smiled disdainfully: "My lord He usually reports to His Majesty, but do you also have to be ordered by others to go up?"

He Xueyi sneered: "Okay, then let me ask you, how do you explain this sentence in your memorial?

"'May Your Majesty listen to the minister's words, find out the traitors, or ask King Jing.'

"Why, do you want to ask King Jing?"

Chu Ge is very clear that from this sentence, the test of the hard core has come.

If it is the first time a player enters this dungeon, maybe the initial problem can be misunderstood, but the subsequent problems will be different.

Every question must be answered carefully.

Whether it is a wrong answer or no answer, it will directly lead to Yang Yan's death and the failure of the whole trial!

In fact, it can be roughly determined from the first question that He Xueyi's first round of inquiries, the key word is "political turmoil".

Yang Yan's memorial to the emperor was impeachment to death, that is, he prepared a coffin for himself, and he would never die.

And the object of this memorial is to point directly at the current emperor Wei Zhaodi and the first official Wang Chong.

Of course, the posthumous title of Emperor Wei Zhao was only given after the emperor's death. Although the emperor can be called a faint emperor, he was not completely faint. But he is very face-saving, and he is indeed smart.

Although they are all clever.

Therefore, under the atmosphere of "the courtiers hide evil for the emperor", he was forcibly posthumously given the word "Zhao" in the end, which means that he is smart and quick-witted, and he can be called the lord.

The phrase "chachong's treachery" in Yang Yan's memorabilia quoted by He Xueyi means to let the emperor clearly observe the treachery of the powerful minister Wang Chong.

Yang Yan's memorial directly slapped Wei Zhaodi in the face, and directly angered Wang Chong, the first minister in power, so as soon as this memorial was released, it caused a huge political disturbance.

Emperor Wei Zhao is a face-saving emperor, but also an emperor who likes to lie to himself and has no self-knowledge.

He, who claimed to be a famous emperor through the ages, was so scolded by Yang Yan, an ordinary official, and immediately became furious.

In this turmoil, both the emperor and the court ministers have their own ideas.

As far as the emperor was concerned, he wished to behead Yang Yan immediately, but he couldn't swallow it. Because Yang Yan's memorandum has already caused a sensation in the government and the public, if he was killed in a fit of anger, wouldn't it leave a reputation that has no room for people? Didn't he just confirm what he scolded himself in the memorial?

Therefore, the emperor ordered to beat him with a hundred court sticks, but not to kill him directly.

I want Yang Yan to be refuted word by word while suffering so much, and the contents of this memorandum to be refuted to be worthless, so as to save my face.

As for Wang Chong, the most powerful official in the dynasty, his idea is very simple, that is to let Yang Yan die as soon as possible!

Because Yang Yan's memorandum is death impeachment, he has already launched an attack on him in this extremely fierce way.

Although Emperor Wei Zhao favored Wang Chong and asked him to collect money for himself, it was impossible for Wei Zhao Emperor, who was good-faced and loved power, to let Wang Chong grow in power all the time. Any slight disturbance may cause Wei Zhaodi to take advantage of the situation to take down Wang Chong and replace him with someone else.

Therefore, for Wang Chong, Yang Yan's evacuation seriously threatened his status and safety, and he must get rid of it quickly.

In addition, there are still some loyal ministers who still have conscience and can handle affairs, but although these people admire Yang Yan's courage, they never dare to stand up and speak for Yang Yan, because once they stand up, it is easy for Emperor Wei Zhao to think that they are "Forming a party" made Yang Yan's sacrifice go to waste.

These were the three most important political forces in the court at that time, but in addition, there was another one that could not be ignored.

That is the neutral faction, or the opportunistic faction, like the presiding judge He Xueyi this time.

For He Xueyi, this turmoil is of course dangerous, but it is also an excellent opportunity to get rid of his political opponents.

It is too difficult to overthrow Wang Chong, but He Xueyi does not want to completely fall to Wang Chong and become his henchman, so that if Wang Chong falls in the future, he will inevitably be implicated. And if you want to take a step further in the position of important minister, you can only set your sights on other people.

The best way is to find out the "master envoy" behind Yang Yan's scenes.

Chu Ge suffered a big loss in this aspect when he failed for the first time.

Because of his inadvertent speech, he was chased and beaten by He Xueyi, linking his Shangshu with King Jing, who is the prince of the current emperor, and then set fire to several teachers of the prince, which led to a complete failure.

Chu Ge knew very well that every word he spoke at this time would be recorded by Eunuch Shi and passed directly to Emperor Wei Zhao's ears, so he must be cautious about how to answer.

He sneered: "Now the court is full of Wang Chong's henchmen. Besides His Royal Highness King Jing, who else is not afraid of Wang Chong? How can your Majesty ask others the truth?"

Hearing this, He Xueyi couldn't help showing a little disappointment on his face.

Because Yang Yan didn't take the bait.

He originally thought that Yang Yan was just a small official, so honest and honest, he probably had no political sense, and he could steer this incident in the direction he expected with a little coaxing, causing a bloody storm in the court, but he didn't expect that, Unable to do so.

In fact, before the interrogation, many people, including the emperor, powerful officials Wang Chong and He Xueyi, had secretly investigated Yang Yan. Once he had close contacts with some officials, he might be killed.

It's just that Yang Yan is also very aware of this, so he didn't reveal his secrets in this regard.

He Xueyi also had the mentality of giving it a try, hoping to find some flaws in the interrogation process and prove the crime. It's just that Yang Yan seemed very vigilant and was not fooled.

If the best strategy fails, then change to the middle strategy.

For He Xueyi, the best strategy is to use this insignificant sentence in Yang Yan's memorandum to burn the fire on King Jing and other ministers, and it is best to implicate one or two important ministers. meritorious self.

The medium strategy is to properly handle this incident, refute and criticize Yang Yan, so that he can no longer insist on his point of view in the memorandum. In this way, Emperor Wei Zhao's mind is clear, and he will also be promoted for his meritorious interrogation.

He Xueyi sneered: "I have no accomplices. Well, I will trust you for now.

"But this also shows how stupid you are!

"You said that it is the duty of a minister to go to school, but in my opinion, this is just an excuse for you.

"Even if no one instigates you to write this memorial, there is only one reason: that is, you are trying to gain fame and want to write such a memorial, to criticize and belittle the Holy One, and to gain a name for yourself!

"How can you understand the good intentions of His Majesty and the princes in the court because you have a humble official position? What qualifications do you have to say that you want to 'rectify the way of the monarch, be famous as a minister, and impeach the treacherous'?"
