Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"Yang He. Wen Tiren whispered, took a sip of hot tea, squeaked his lips heavily, put the tea cup on the side of the desk, and glanced at Xu Guangqi, the second assistant in the lower right seat, with the momentum of the Shenjia battalion, he could also enter the cabinet, and he also became the leader of the Donglin Party.

"Why is Yang He still in Beijing, don't you leave to go back to Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu to quell the chaos immediately, Xu Ge Lao, you go and ask. Wen Tiren finally made a move, he knew that he should calm down at this time, but he was deeply afraid that Yang He and the Donglin Party would join forces, so he couldn't help but try it.

"Back to the old pavilion, Yang He begged for bones on the table, just waiting for grace. Xu Guangqi got up and replied very bluntly.

"He, he. Wen Tiren pressed his anger, and said in his heart: This is clearly forcing the palace, you Yang He, this is to ask the emperor to choose between the two of them.

"Then, then, what do you mean, Elder Xu Ge. Wen Tiren couldn't help but have some anger in his words, this was the moment when he fought to the death with Yang He.

"Back to the old pavilion, Shengming is no more than the emperor. Xu Guangqi lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, and his words did not leak.

Wen Tiren stared at Xu Guangqi deeply, for some reason, this nerd who used to have a weak sense of existence is now inexplicably awe-inspiring, is that the spirit born from the heart. Wen Tiren was depressed, but he couldn't help it, so he said: "Then the emperor decides, okay, let's get up and go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, it's not too early." "

The four pavilion elders stepped on the square steps in turn, coming out of Wenyuan Pavilion, there were already waiting officials leaning against the wall, Wen Tiren took the corner of his eye and looked at it, and sure enough, Yang He was in the column, secretly hating: You can't be good today. Looking at the officials in the Middle East, there are still more forest party members, and sure enough, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff. Thinking of this, he has already made a plan to retreat into advance.

Red, red, green, and

green walked through the orange, yellow, and bright colors of this palace, and after a while, the eunuch who led the way in front turned around and saluted: "Your Excellency, please wait." The miscellaneous family will go back as soon as they go. "

The

eunuchs are calling themselves miscellaneous again, hey. Wen Tiren sighed in his heart that he was still not used to this, but he felt very harsh. After Wei Zhongxian's death, for a long time, they only dared to call themselves slaves and maids to civil officials.

After a while, there was a commotion inside. Wen Tiren walked up the stairs, and only opened a small opening at the side door, everyone was stunned, and hurriedly asked why with their eyes, this is a small morning meeting in the afternoon, and the middle door is opened according to the routine.

"The emperor is in a bad mood, you guys, be cautious. The eunuch replied coldly.

"Well, let's go in. Wen Tiren spit out these words with difficulty, he was the head of a hundred officials, and this slap in the face was aimed at him.

The ministers were very dissatisfied, but they were also as quiet as a cicada, the emperor's reputation for killing was gradually spreading, it was too scary, don't joke with your life, how dare you make a mistake.

Sideways in turn, the lobby is dark, only the emperor's snow-white thin face is high, looking very infiltrating. Everyone silently stopped in two lines, headed by Wen Tiren on the left and Xu Guangqi on the right.

"Something's coming. The eunuch screamed.

"The minister is gentle and benevolent. "Wen Tiren is determined to strike first.

"Aiqing, please speak. Chongzhen only made a weak statement.

"Today, the Shenjia Battalion

has to control Wang Pu Qi's report, and the Shenjia Battalion has broken through Bazhou, and more than 10,000 thieves have been wiped out. "

"Is it a thief? Chongzhen raised his head and asked, as if he had gained some strength, and said, "Okay, why don't you attack the Xianghe, but you have to go south to entangle near Bazhou." "

"On the Holy Gift, the cabinet drew up Wang Pu's reward, and asked the Holy Lord to take a look. Wen Tiren said.

"Don't look, I said, if you don't go down to the Xianghe, I won't reward anything, he is raising his own respect, do you think I don't know. Chongzhen suddenly became furious again.

"Holy Lord, the minister has his roots. Xu Guangqi came out of the ranks.

Say. Chongzhen hissed dumbly.

"Tongzhou Counselor Liu Zeqing went to the table, saying that Wang Pu's words and deeds were out of shape at the banquet, writing lewd lyrics and songs, insulting the dignity of the official, please punish the crime. "

"That's it, it's not a crime. Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh, the mood was better, Wang Pu set up a banquet in Bazhou, there was a big ugly, this matter was sent to Beijing on the same day, and the Dongchang Codex entered the palace at night, when he reviewed the Codex, it was late at night, and he almost laughed.

"The minister has his own. "There are people in the lower right, everyone is clever, this is a poor dagger, it is coming, and it is the Donglin Party that will strike first.

Say. Chongzhen also sensed the atmosphere and said solemnly.

"The minister impeached Wen Tiren, plotted to trap Zhongliang, and attempted to kill Gonglie. As soon as the speaker of the Donglin Party spoke, the hall was in an uproar.

"In the matter, don't use rumors to ramble in front of you. "

"What rumors, I haven't said it yet, you know, everyone knows it, why didn't Dali Temple file a case and withdraw the investigation. "

"My Dali Temple is not Dongchang, which will check the rumors. "

"Elder Wen Ge, do you dare to

swear in public, do you dare to do it. "

"Don't be noisy. Seeing that Chongzhen's face was gradually turning purple, Xu Guangqi hurriedly said to stop: "One of the parties to this matter, Yang He, you have to come out and say a word." "

"Chen Yang He has a book. "

"Yang He, don't say it. Chongzhen immediately stopped, he had already read Dongchang's codex, Yang He was going to force the palace today, and An Neng asked him to succeed.

"Yes. "Yang Heshuang sweated profusely on his sideburns, and the saint was trying to keep his body warm, he was not good.

The scene was speechless for a while, it was originally a steady win game, why is this so, the Donglin Party people are a little confused. Xu Guangqi calmed down, looked at Wen Tiren's side, and found that the opponents were also a little confused, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and said quietly: "People's words are terrifying." Although these words were soft, they penetrated into everyone's hearts, everyone was shocked, waiting for the end of this forced palace, and even more people secretly regretted it in their hearts, and they knew that they were absent for some reason, and they should not go to this faintly bloody muddy water, and the saint is in a bad mood today.

"That, Ai Qingzhi, what do you mean. Chongzhen asked slowly.

"Merit is not rewarded, crime is not punished, and the public cannot be convinced, as long as you give the people of the world an explanation, it is not difficult. Xu Guangqi said lightly, but it made everyone present gasp, this is the posture of a powerful minister, he Xu Guangqi is really crazy, don't die.

"How it's not difficult. Chongzhen was already trembling slightly.

Xu Guangqi sighed, it seemed that he couldn't say any more, and was about to soften, when a trembling voice came from behind him: "Minister Yang He is guilty, it was the minister who did something wrong." "Yang He is afraid, it should have been everyone who made efforts to force Wen Tiren to step down, but now the limelight has turned to force the emperor to give Wang Pu a reward, if this thing is done, he will be hated by the emperor from now on, he Yang He will die without a place to be buried, the problem is that the emperor would rather bear the notoriety of killing heroes indiscriminately but also try to keep Tiren warm, isn't this a mean and unkind emperor, what's going on.

"Yang He. Xu Guangqi was shocked, Yang He said this kind of thing at this time, didn't it make the emperor misunderstand, thinking that he was going to die and break the net, why was Yang He suddenly confused.

"What sin you

have, what sin you have. The emperor was really excited, this matter must not be poked out, otherwise he would have no face to see.

"Minister, minister. Yang He immediately knew that he had made a big mistake and was at a loss.

"Ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths, and the rain and dew are all kings' graces. Xu Guangqi hurriedly played a round, but it was obviously too blunt.

Wen Tiren glanced at Yang He deeply, this guy is actually a dead soldier of the Donglin Party, he would rather die than be buried with him, if this guy confesses in public, wouldn't he be tried by the three divisions, this is a shocking case, not a few taels if it is not weighed, and it can't be beaten if it is weighed a thousand catties.

"I said, it's not a crime. Chongzhen was also drenched in cold sweat, in case Yang He poked out his words, in the future, he would become an eternal joke like Emperor Jin Hui. Later generations will compare him with Zhao Gou's killing of Yue Fei, and at least Zhao Gou got his hands on it, but he didn't, it was worse than that.

The court will disperse, Yang He

returned to his residence, inexplicably tired, lying down and falling asleep, the poisonous snake feeding the face in the dream, scared to sit up, the sky is already dark, he brushed off the cold sweat and sat on the edge of the bed, meditating on the gains and losses of today's small court, there are close servants to listen to the movement in the house, not without worry about the door, but Yang He is like a soul disorder, unmoved.

After a while, he came back to his senses, sighed, ordered the old servant outside the door to come in, ordered to prepare paper and ink, and Yang He took up the pen and wrote: "The minister is the head, and the above table impeaches Wang Pu for the fifteenth major crime,......" The attempt to deceive and kill Wang Pu is unsuccessful, someone must take the blame, and the saint does not want Wen Tiren to take the blame, then he Yang He will not be able to escape this cauldron, but this matter must not be pierced, otherwise the emperor will not come to the stage, and he Yang He will die without a place to be buried. Not only does not break the matter, but also seeks self-protection by self-pollution, killing two birds with one stone, eating two fish with one stone, wonderful.

The old servant looked at the master's solemn complexion, and couldn't help but be very worried, after today's small court meeting, the master was too abnormal, and he couldn't help but peek at the words on the paper at the moment, it turned out to be for Wang Pu, this person was in Xi'an last year, he also met a few times, and he was still a noble descendant praised by the master, and he never thought that he was now the master's enemy.

After writing the recital and having dinner hastily, Yang He's complexion improved, and he only said to himself in a rather lonely voice: "After retreating this time, let's be an honest farmer, and the difficulties in the court will have nothing to do with me from now on."

The next day, at the beginning of the

day, Yang He got up, went to the Yushitai with the notebook, and the officials who came back from the early dynasty were discussing in the aisle, and he made the gods hear: "The saint really promoted Wang Pu to the general army, how can this be said." "

"You guys, what's up. Yang He asked with a pale face as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Congratulations to General Yang Zong, your playbook, the emperor has approved it, and Wang Pusheng is the chief soldier of Datong. "

"Ahh Yang He spun around, screamed miserably, and fell down. This movement attracted everyone to watch, Yushitai is not far from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, it just so happened that Chen Mingxia handed over the documents in the Ministry of War, he was originally the supervisor of the Shenjia Battalion, as usual with Wang Pu's promotion as the supervisor of Datong Town, although he was promoted, his heart was like eating a fly. Hearing that Yang He was sick, he just sneered, how could he not know that Yang He was in a desperate situation, Wang Pu had the ambition to rebel, and sooner or later he would rebel, and Yang He would inevitably be implicated by it.

Chen Mingxia didn't know what the emperor was, so he underestimated the danger of Yang He's situation.

Yang He was

carried back to the residence by the servants, vomiting several liters of blood that day, the doctors were inexplicable for some reason, only said that it was a heart disease, and prescribed some medicine to clear the heart and open the spleen, at night, Yang He got up indifferently, and the old servant was already crying on the side of the bed, Yang He said to him: "Don't cry, this is the life of the master, and the life should be like this." Find me a rope, and the master will finish himself. "You don't have to think about it to know how much Chongzhen should hate him for this, now only if he commits suicide can he save his family, otherwise it will be the end of the destruction of the nine clans.

"Master, you can't, you can't think about it. "

"Shut up, sir, I keep the festival, do you dare to stop me and put me in injustice? Yang He scolded angrily.

"Yes, yes, sir. The old slave finally took the order and left.

Yang He smiled bitterly and said, "This is really a way to heaven, and a door to hell." "No matter how the emperor shakes the pot, he will not die if he carries a black pot for the emperor. But who would have thought that it was so strange today, he actually didn't even want the country for the sake of face. To give such a critical place, Datong Town, one of the nine sides, to Wang Pu, Wang Pu got Datong, it is like a tiger with wings, the dragon into the sea, and it can no longer be controlled, is it not an attempt to unjustly kill a general, even if it is solid, it will not have a good reputation, since ancient times, there are so many emperors with a bad reputation, and I haven't seen how much they have suffered because of this. It's just a reputation, how can it matter.

"Your Majesty, you are confused. Yang He choked back tears, wept and said, "It's the old minister, who hurt you." If I hurt Daming Sheji, there is only one death, ten thousand deaths, and I will die. That night, Yang He committed suicide by hanging a rope, and the Yang family claimed that Yang He became ill and died of illness due to hard work. But before Yang He died, he left some words: I have Grace Wang Pu, you can do it yourself.

Soon, Wang Pu learned that Yang He was dead, and he was promoted to become the general soldier of Datong, at

first joy and sadness, the stimulation came too suddenly, Wang Pu wanted to break his head, but he still couldn't figure it out, why Chongzhen gave him the general soldier of Datong. can only make up for Yang He's death, which moved the emperor. But is Yang He his own father, could it be that Wang Pu's body is actually Yang He's illegitimate son.

"Yang He, a great noble man like a mystery. Wang Pu and the others were stunned, but they were all intense.
