Chapter 73 Empire Assholes
The silence of the Ma family made the land reform of Yinguan very smoothly. Then Yang Fan promoted it directly throughout the county. For a time, everyone in Yanmen had land, and the people from other places immediately came to hear the news. Yanmen County suddenly showed a scene of prosperity, and people's faces were filled with a strong sense of happiness.
However, something major happened in Zhang Rang's mansion in Kyoto that decided Yang Fan's life and death.
"Mr. Zhang, what the officials and above said are Yang Fan's crimes."
Ma Tao was telling Zhang Rang, who was sitting in the upper head, about Yang Fan's various bad deeds in Yanmen.
"Ma Tao, then Yang Fan is a popular person in His Majesty's eyes. Just by your few words, you want to defeat him? How easy is it."
Zhang Rang looked like a white-faced scholar from the outside, Wen Wen was quiet and kind, but the light flashed from time to time in his eyes showed that this person was not as simple as he looked on.
"That's natural. The officials spent all their efforts to collect all the evidence of Yang Fan's crimes. Please ask Mr. Zhang to take a look."
Ma Tao quickly called people to carry several large wooden boxes to Zhang Rang and put them down. He opened one of them at will, and the whole room suddenly shone with a jewel of jewels, fascinating.
"Mr. Ma County Ma, you have collected a lot of evidence of crime. Our family will inevitably ask for the people."
Even Zhang Rang, who was used to seeing rare treasures, was shocked by Ma Tao's handwriting. He looked at the boxes of strange treasures that were different from the Central Plains in obsession, and then said righteously.
"Mr. Zhang is not afraid of difficulties and asks for the people. He is a model for us. Then the official waits for Mr. Zhang to be a good news in the post station."
Seeing Zhang Rang agreeing, Ma Tao immediately smiled.
"Well, Ma County Magistrate, just wait for good news from our family!"
Zhang Rang raised his orchid finger and smiled. Perhaps in his eyes, Yang Fan is just a small character who can be killed at any time.
The next day, above the court.
"My dear friends, please report it if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do."
Liu Hong yawned, looking listless.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, Zhang Rang took the lead in praying.
"Oh? Let Father invite him to get up quickly, what's the matter? But it's okay."
When Liu Hong saw Zhang Rang kneeling, he quickly raised his hands and asked with concern.
"The old minister received a report from Ma Tao, the magistrate of Yinguan County, Yanmen County, Bingzhou. This person reported that General Zhenbei, Yanmen Prefect, and Mayi Marquis Yang Fan was corrupt and abused the law. He sent troops to attack the Xianbei clan without authorization, and wanted to provoke war between our clans, but his intention was to be punished."
Zhang Rang said with a look of grief and anger.
"Nothing is nonsense, nothing is wrong. Why did you frame my pillars of the court for no reason?"
When Lu Zhi heard this, he was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he shouted first.
"Zhang Rang, how did my son offend you? Why did you frame my son?"
Yang Biao was also very angry and asked.
"Shi Shi Zhang, do you have any evidence? Take it out and let me wait and see? If not, I will definitely study one of your books."
Yang Ci also spoke out loud.
"Zhang Changshi, Yang Fan is a second-rank general in our dynasty. Wouldn't it be disappointing for you to do this?"
Even the Yuan family members spoke to help Yang Fan at this time.
"If we don't have this evidence, how dare we say it?"
Zhang Rang was also shocked by the reactions of these old masters and felt regretful in his heart. However, the arrow was on the string at this moment, so he had to bite the bullet and say.
"Where is the evidence? Take it out and show me."
Zhu Yan took a step forward and asked for it.
"What kind of morality is that in the court, you have taken me seriously?"
Looking at the court like a vegetable market, Liu Hong suddenly said furiously.
"His Majesty calms down."
When everyone saw Liu Hong getting angry, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
"It's outrageous. Let your husband say what's wrong with Yang Fan? Let's make it clear."
Yang Fan is a talent promoted by Liu Hong himself. Why did he become a corrupt official after more than two months of taking office?
"When Yang Fan took office, he asked the county magistrates of Yanmen for a total of 6,352 gold. Then he was blindly arrogant and sent his troops to fight against the grassland, but he still failed."
Zhang Rang took out the so-called crime from his arms and said.
"What? Bring it!"
Liu Hong was a little unbelievable and snatched the book in Zhang Rang's hand and turned it over.
"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. What does Yang Bowen want to do? He dares to send troops to Xianbei without reporting. What exactly does he want to do? Who can tell me?"
Liu Hong didn't care much about Yang Fan's collection of money, but it was a bit unreasonable to send troops to the Xianbei without authorization. This is a war, who gave him the courage?
"this..."
For a moment, all the ministers did not dare to speak nonsense, but Lu Zhi defended himself: "Bowen sent troops to Xianbei and thought that there must be some reason for him. I think something happened to the Xianbei side."
"Report! General Yang Fan of Zhenbei reported urgently!"
At this time, the voice of Jinwu Guard came from outside the hall.
"Bring it!"
Liu Hong was upset at this time and frowned and said.
"This...so that's it!"
Liu Hong quickly looked through Yang Fan's memorials, then suddenly realized, and then let the ministers circulate them.
It turned out that Yang Fan said in the memorial that "Xianbei attacked Mayi City on the sixth day of November. With such a rampant move, Fan decided to lead his troops to resist. However, thanks to the favor of God, His Majesty was very blessed to the heavens. Therefore, he fought and captured three Xianbei leaders and killed 30,000 enemies. The Xianbei fell apart since Tan Shihuai's death and no longer had the courage of that year. The southern invasion was the Xianbei in the middle. This battle was the Xianbei in the middle. The Xianbei was at the end of its strong battle. Fan took the opportunity to incite the two or three tribes to rebel. This was the time of civil strife in the central Xianbei. Fan refused to abandon such a good opportunity, so he dared to mobilize 20,000 troops into the grassland, which would inevitably expand the territory for our Han Dynasty and reappear the feat of Huo Piqi. The criminals visited here, and hoped that my king would wait for Fan to break through the Xianbei and then apologize for the crime."
"Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity. It is understandable that Yang Bowen can seize such an opportunity. But he, Zhang Changshi, is inverted by black and white, and deserves to be punished!"
Lu Zhi took the lead in reading Yang Fan’s memorial and then left the list to speak.
"Thirty thousand cavalry of Xianbei invaded, Yang Bowen destroyed it in one battle, and then provoked internal strife, so he sent troops north, which was a good general!"
Zhu Yan also saw Yang Fan's intention at this time and said immediately.
"Your Majesty, Yang Fan sent troops to Xianbei without His Majesty's permission. This is a serious crime. Your Majesty, think about it, the soldiers in the world are His Majesty's soldiers. What right does Yang Fan have to mobilize troops? This is a bit of a suspicion of being in the hands of the authorities! I hope Your Majesty will clearly observe!"
Zhang Rang was sweating coldly. He didn't expect Yang Fan's memorial to be delivered at this time. Then his eyes turned and he thought of such a sinister attention.
"Let what your husband says is reasonable!"
Liu Hong also reacted at this time, repeatedly pondered Zhang Rang's words, and said in agreement.
"Your Majesty, you will be unacceptable to the orders of the foreign king. On the battlefield, opportunities will be fleeting. If you have to rely on asking for instructions to fight, wouldn't you let this opportunity go in vain?"
Yang Fan is Lu Zhi's beloved disciple and is now arguing.
"I heard that Yang Bowen reclaimed land in Yanmen without authorization and divided it with refugees, for some reason?"
At this time, Zhao Zhong suddenly said something like this.
"Bingzhou has been suffering for many years, and Bowen's move is to save himself. What's wrong with me, the people of the Han Dynasty planting the land of my Han Dynasty?"
Yang Biao was so angry that these dead eunuchs were about to kill him!
"What happened? Bowen is considered intentional!"
Liu Hong was stunned and then chuckled.
"Your Majesty, Yang Fan has been recruiting refugees since last year. At this time, there were already millions of people in Yanmen County, and all counties were placed in Yang Fan. The people only knew him, Yang Fan but not His Majesty. This is a ill-intentioned act."
Zuo Feng also said at this time.
"Nothing nonsense, my grandson is kind and takes in poor people. Why did you, the eunuch party, become a ill-intentioned person? It's really..."
Yang Ci was so angry that he almost couldn't lift it up in one breath, so he almost turned aside. Fortunately, Yang Biao quickly patted his back lightly to make it feel better after seeing it.
"Your Majesty, the above are not enough to show that Yang Fan is interested in rebellion. The old minister also has a letter of report from the head of the military farm under Yang Fan!"
At this time, Zhang Rang suddenly took out a letter and handed it to Liu Hong.
"Well? It's outrageous. He Yang Fan dared to do this!"
Liu Hong looked around without hesitation, then his face turned pale and slapped the dragon's desk and shouted.
"You have a good look at me. This is the loyal minister of the great Han Dynasty that you call me!"
Liu Hong threw the letter directly to Lu Zhi and others.
"this...."
After Lu Zhi looked at it with all his eyes, he was speechless and thought to himself why his apprentice came up with such a stupid move.
"Transfer my edict and send Jinwu Guards to Yanmen County, Bingzhou, and capture Yang Fan to come and ask for guilt!"
