Jiajing died, Lu Bing was really sad. Although the two were kings and ministers, they were actually like brothers, and their relationship was not ordinary.

Although Lu Bing was not arrogant because of his favor, Jiajing has always been quite tolerant of him since he became emperor. No matter what he did wrong, Jiajing never got angry with him. When the two were together, they were really like a family.

Now, Jiajing died inexplicably, how could he not be sad?

Not only was he sad, he also blamed himself. If he didn't follow Yang Cong to investigate the Japanese pirates, how could Jiajing be burned to death by this fire!

At this time, I don’t know who said something to him, and he even became suspicious of Yang Cong.

It was really strange that Yang Cong took him to investigate the Japanese pirates, and the matter was a bit too coincidental. As soon as he left, Jiajing died. Could it be that Yang Cong was really deliberately trying to murder the emperor as Yan Song said?

He did not ask Yang Cong in person because he knew that Yang Cong was quite smart. If someone didn't want to say it, it would be useless even if he asked. He wanted Yang Cong to come to him to explain it on his own initiative.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong never asked him to explain that this guy seemed to be a little guilty.

There seemed to be an irreparable crack between the two uncles. Even later, they didn't talk much even after they met.

Yan Song was so proud of them when he saw them like this. The reason why Lu Bing suspected Yang Cong was naturally because he sent someone to provoke him. Judging from Yang Cong's reaction, this kid was probably a little confused.

I'm so confused. If I'm confused, I won't think about mobilizing the elite troops of the border. I won't know how to die at that time.

In order to paralyze Yang Cong, he did not mention any strange problems in Jiajing's death. Since Yang Cong came back, he had "focused" on Jiajing's funeral, from helping the spirits back to Beijing, to doing things in a big way, and then to being buried in Yongling, he did not say anything during this period, as if he had forgotten to "fraudulently accused" Yang Cong.

After the funeral of Jiajing was completed, the matter of the new emperor's succession was discussed. According to convention, Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, would organize the court discussion.

That morning, the court officials gathered in the intermediate hall. The court discussion about the succession of the new emperor officially began. An official from the Honglu Temple took a notice-like thing and walked to the steps and recited aloud to the important officials of the court.

Originally, the official of the ritual should have been the will of Jiajing. Unfortunately, Jiajing did not leave any will, and even the prince was not designated. Therefore, the official of the ritual was just some nonsense about missing the previous emperor and hoping that the new emperor would continue the past and open up the future.

Immediately afterwards, there was a formal court discussion, and Yan Song, as the chief minister of the cabinet, was naturally the first to speak.

He did not leave the list, but stood on the left head and said seriously: "The death of the First Emperor, and the affairs of the First Emperor are over. Logically, we should discuss the candidate for succession today. However, before this, I still want to say that there is something strange about the death of the First Emperor. We need to give the person who deliberately murdered the First Emperor first and punish him according to the law, so as to comfort the spirit of the First Emperor in heaven, and then discuss the candidate for succession!"

This time, the important officials of the court did not seem very surprised, because everyone knows that the prime minister would definitely not admit defeat, and they would definitely not watch Prince Yu succeed to the throne.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Cong, Minister of Rites Hui'an, because everyone knew that the Minister of Rites was King Yu's teacher, and the Chief Auxiliary wanted to deal with him!

At this time, Yang Cong was no longer hiding it. He just raised his head and looked at Yan Song lightly, waiting for the prime minister to attack.

Sure enough, Yan Song then said without hesitation: "There are many doubts about the death of the First Emperor. For example, Yang Cong, Minister of Rites, took away Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and a group of Jinyiwei masters, in advance, so that no one went to save the emperor even if the imperial tent caught fire. For example, around the imperial tent, there were tens of thousands of imperial tents, and no one rushed in to save the emperor. Why? I think everyone knows that Xu Yande, Duke of Ding and Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan, are frequent visitors to Yang Cong's mansion. After the death of the First Emperor, everyone must also know who will succeed to the throne according to the ancestral system. Therefore, all doubts point to one person. Yang Cong, now I suspect that you are deliberately plotting to murder the First Emperor. What else do you have to say?"

Oh, this is a breakup, right?

If you tear apart, you will tear apart. Who is afraid of whom!

Yang Cong smiled coldly and then said seriously: "I also suspect that someone deliberately plotted to murder the former emperor!"

ah!

As soon as he said this, Yan Song was shocked because no one expected him to say that.

So, why did he say that?

He then stared at Yan Song coldly and said, "I believe everyone knows why I took Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and a group of Jinyiwei masters to leave the camp. It is because of the Japanese pirates causing trouble in Yuyao. In order to prevent the Japanese pirates from heading straight to Jinling and disturbing the Holy Lord, I took people to investigate. The first emperor has approved this. Why did the Chief Auxiliary take it out and criticize me? Do you want to know?"

Of course everyone wants to know what this said.

Yan Song didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly, waiting for him to "quibble".

Yang Cong said with a serious face: "The reason is very simple, because the Japanese pirates who caused trouble in Yuyao were arranged by the Chief Auxiliary. The Chief Auxiliary's purpose is to attract the officials and a group of Jinyiwei masters to facilitate the fight against the Emperor!"

ah!

This matter has reversed too quickly, right?

Could it be that the Prime Minister is calling for robbers?

This is very likely because Yan Song is such a person!

Many important officials present could not help but look at Yan Song with suspicious eyes.

Seeing this, Yan Song couldn't help but angrily said, "What do you mean to deal with the Emperor? No evidence. Don't slander people. Do you think that if you are so distorted by black and white, you can get rid of the crime by spreading right and wrong?"

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Sir, you are the one who is unfounded and unfounded. You are inverting black and white. I have the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has the one who has

After saying that, he took out a stack of confessions from his arms and said with a little pride: "Sir, unfortunately, the group of Japanese pirates who were causing trouble in Yuyao have been caught by me. According to the instructions of these Japanese pirates, the reason why they could break through the Ming Navy's defense and arrive in Yuyao was secretly arranged by Wang Chan, deputy envoy of Zhejiang Maritime Guard Road, and Wang Chan was promoted by the Chief Assistant two years ago! Also, according to the instructions of these Japanese pirates, they were instructed by the Daming Matsuura clan of the Hirado clan of the Fat-Famous Kingdom of Japan to ask for money, because the property they robbed in the southeast several times in the past was handed over to the Chief Assistant, but the Chief Assistant never gave them money! These Japanese pirates appeared so coincidental that they happened to go to Jinling to worship their ancestors. Chief Assistant, what explanation do you have? "

Damn it!

There is actually such a thing!

Almost all the important officials of the court present looked at Yan Song, the left leader, and waited for the chief minister to explain.

Yan Song was shocked at this moment. He really didn't expect that those Japanese pirates would be caught by Yang Cong. He didn't expect that those Japanese pirates knew everything and had helped them.

He did make the arrangements of those Japanese pirates intentionally, but he didn't want to murder Jiajing, he just wanted Jiajing to mistakenly think that Yang Cong lied about military affairs.

How did he explain now?
Chapter completed!
