Volume Four, Chapter 116, Hands-on
Yan Song originally wanted to catch Yang Cong off guard, but he never thought that he would catch him off guard by Yang Cong.
This kid actually caught the Japanese pirates who were causing trouble in Yuyao so quickly, and interrogated a bunch of confessions, which he did not expect.
Although he did not deliberately murder Jiajing, he did design and instruct the Japanese pirates who caused trouble in Yuyao.
Now, the evidence in Yang Cong's hands is extremely unfavorable to him. What should I do?
He had expected this, because he knew very well that it would be difficult for him to "punish" Yang Cong, a genius. If necessary, he would have to come to martial arts.
Originally, no matter what doubts he raised, he just wanted to stand on the commanding heights of morality and deal with Yang Cong with "justice". Since he could not make sense now, he would just ignore the truth.
He looked stern and said coldly: "How can the Japanese pirates be trustworthy? Isn't it ridiculous for you to use the Japanese pirate's confession to criticize the Ming Dynasty's chief minister?"
Is it ridiculous?
Who is ridiculous?
Yang Cong also looked stern and said coldly: "The words of the Japanese pirates are not trustworthy? Then, is the confession of Wang Chan, the deputy envoy of Zhejiang Sea Guard Road, or is it trustworthy? Or, the subordinates will work hard to arrest Wang Chan for the first applause for interrogation? Also, can the confession of the Japanese daimyo Matsuura clan be trustworthy? Or, the subordinates will work harder to lead the Ming Navy to capture the Hirado clan and arrest the Matsuura clan for interrogation. If our Ming Navy said that it might be a bit arrogant to take down the entire Japan, but it is still no problem to take down a small Hirado clan."
I don’t plan to reason with you anymore, I’m still asking you a question!
Yan Song nodded coldly and said, "Okay, please work hard and get someone to interrogate. I will give you three days. We will discuss it in three days."
After saying that, he actually snorted coldly and left with his sleeves!
All the important officials of the court present were confused. What does the Chief Auxiliary mean?
Three days?
What a joke!
It took more than 3,000 miles from the capital to Zhejiang. Even if you take the Fire Dragon train, it would take more than three days to get back and forth, let alone lead the navy to take down the Hirado family of Japan.
So, what exactly does Yan Song mean?
His meaning is very simple, that is, let Yang Shun lead the elite troops of Jizhou Town to Beijing and be strong with Yang Cong.
Jizhou Town is less than 300 miles away from the capital. Even if the elite troops of Jizhou Town are all infantrymen, three days are enough to reach the capital.
Others didn't understand what Yan Song meant, but Yang Cong knew very well that Yan Song wanted to do it.
I want to do it, right? Then OK, just try it.
After Yan Song returned to the mansion, he hurriedly sent a quick horse to Jizhou Town and ran to pass the order. However, Yang Cong calmly took Lu Ling'er to the Lu Mansion.
He didn't have to worry about the elite border troops in Jizhou Town, because Yu Dayou had already led 40,000 elite troops in the Southeast Army to Xuanfu Town, and they were all stationed near the railway station in Jizhou Town. As long as one sends a message, the 40,000 troops can arrive in the capital in less than half a day.
They did not rely on two legs to travel, but on Fire Dragon Cars. Although Xuanfu Town is far away from the capital than Jizhou Town, the Fire Dragon Cars do not need to rest. One hour and fifty miles, one hundred miles per hour and one hundred miles per hour, and less than three hours, it will take no more than three days.
The reason why he brought Lu Ling'er to Lu's Mansion was naturally to explain it to Lu Bing.
Lu Bing is still angry with him now and still ignores him.
He directly put Lu Bing on his shoulder and hugged Lu Bing into a quiet room. Then he asked seriously: "Civilized, don't you think I really want to murder the late emperor, do you?"
Lu Bing said coldly: "Do you think about it? You know in your heart that you haven't explained it for so long. Do you don't want to explain it or can't explain it?"
Yang Cong took out a stack of confessions without thinking, and then said solemnly: "It's not that I don't want to explain, but that I don't want to alarm the snake. Yan Song wanted to usurp the throne and use the emperor to command the princes."
This stack of confessions was naturally what he took out in the Zhongji Hall just now. The so-called confessions of Japanese pirates were actually mostly forged. How could those Japanese pirates know that Matsuura and Yan Song were negotiating with each other? He ordered people to fabricate this part of the confession based on rumors.
However, Lu Bing was shocked when he saw it.
Lu Bing didn't know that Yan Song had such a close connection with the Japanese pirates behind his back. If all this was true, wouldn't it mean that Yan Song was the one who drew the tiger away from the mountain, not Yang Cong!
When Yang Cong saw his expression, he hurriedly said, "It's not been a day or two for Yan Song's affair with the Japanese pirates, nor for a year or two. From the beginning, his relationship with the Japanese pirates was unclear. If you don't believe it, you can go and interrogate it yourself when Wang Chan arrives. At that time, you will understand everything."
When Lu Bing heard this, he was shocked again: "Have you sent someone to arrest Wang Chan?"
Yang Cong nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Yan Song is ready to do whatever he wants, so I naturally don't need to be polite to him."
Lu Bing said inexplicably: "Do it? What will he do?"
Yang Cong sneered: "He has already said that in today's court discussion, and settle the score with me in three days."
Lu Bing still said inexplicably: "Three days later? How is he going to settle the score?"
Yang Cong still sneered: "He has sent someone to inform the governor of Jizhou Yang Shun. Three days later, the 15,000 elite border troops from Jizhou Town will arrive in the capital. Naturally, he is preparing to be unreasonable and hard."
When Lu Bing heard this, he was shocked and said, "Ah, what should I do? I can't organize so many Jinyiwei to confront him within three days."
Yang Cong patted his shoulder and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. Wang Chan will be escorted to the capital in two days. At that time, you will understand after you go and interrogate. I just hope that when Yan Song's fox tail is revealed, you can mobilize the Jinyiwei, arrest Yan Song's party, imprison him and interrogate him."
In fact, Wang Chan had already been arrested, but he had not sent him to the capital. He just waited for Yan Song to take action first, so that he could fight back with justification.
Immediately afterwards, he came to the Ministry of War and visited Mao Bowen, the Minister of War.
Mao Bowen had no objection to him. As for his intentional murder of the previous emperor, Mao Bowen would not believe it.
After the two exchanged a few greetings, Yang Cong said bluntly: "Mr. Mao, according to reliable information, Yan Song has ordered people to rush to Jizhou Town. He is going to transfer the elite troops of Jizhou Town to come over and take the emperor to order the princes to usurp the throne!"
ah!
When Mao Bowen heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "He is so bold?"
Yang Cong sneered: "Otherwise, if he said something about it after three days, he would know that I would not be able to capture Wang Chan in three days, and even more so, the Matsuura clan was arrested. However, three days were enough to transfer the elite troops of Jizhou Town. It was obvious that the death of the First Emperor was planned by him. He wanted to take King Jing to the throne, and then hold it in his hands as a puppet to control the government. At this moment, his Sima Zhao's heart was obvious. Everyone saw his face clearly, and he could only turn against him."
Indeed, from Yan Song's reaction after Yang Cong came up with evidence, the neutral court officials could see that Yan Song was incompetent and angry.
However, even Mao Bowen did not expect that Yan Song would dare to mobilize elite border troops without authorization to usurp the throne.
He couldn't help but feel shocked and said, "What should we do? Will we convene the Jingying Tunwei to defend the capital?"
I'm so dizzy, what a joke? The master soldiers of Jingying Tunwei are useless. Besides, Jingying Tunwei is not under his control.
Yang Cong shook his head and said, "No, Lord Mao, what kind of combat power is the elite border army? What kind of combat power is the Jingying Tunwei? Besides, Yan Song has been in the Jingying Tunwei for so long, and he will inevitably have his confidants in the Jingying Tunwei, so it is useless to summon the Jingying Tunwei."
Upon hearing this, Mao Bowen couldn't help but say anxiously: "What should I do? Near the capital, except Jingying Tunwei, there are elite border troops in Jizhou Town, and there is no other force to adjust."
Yang Cong said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord Mao, I have ordered the elite Southeast Army soldiers to wait for their orders in Xuanfu Town. As long as the Ministry of War issued a transfer order, the elite soldiers of the Southeast Army soldiers will soon arrive in the capital."
He is simply giving Yan Song an eye drop.
