Chapter 259

Yu Shiyue has changed his normal position in the middle class of the Ministry of punishment, and his intention to protect his grandson is very obvious. The reason why he did this was not only that he was eager to love sun, but also that he heard some news from the palace that someone was unhappy with Zhongdan and wanted to teach him a lesson.

It was this news that gave Yu Shiyue confidence. He also wanted to take the opportunity to show himself in front of the man. He was not afraid of loyalty and courage. On the contrary, he dared to shake him. By doing so, we can not only make the person satisfied and look up, but also get the reputation of being not afraid of power, and protect the safety of our grandchildren.

Yu Shiyue's determination to kill three birds with one stone can be clearly felt by every official of the Ministry of punishment.

Liu San changed his confession. Everything was so smooth. From the beginning to now, he didn't see what Zhongdan did or did? This instinct made Yu Shiyue have an idea, that is, Zhongdan was afraid, afraid, and he was not as powerful as people said.

At this moment, a big net is covering Yu Shiyue's head. It's a pity that he doesn't know and is complacent about some of his achievements.

In an outer courtyard not far from the palace, Xu Youzhen is respectfully standing in a warm room like spring. It seems that he does not squint, but Yu Guang will always inadvertently fall on Jin Ying, the serious eunuch chief manager sitting opposite him.

Speaking of the relationship between Xu Youzhen and Yang Chendong, few people know. On the contrary, from some of Israel's past, we all think that they should be in a hostile relationship. It was like the initial impeachment. It was the use of a knife and a gun. It was later recommended. It was also interpreted as that he wanted to use the technique of winning and killing against Yang Chendong, but it was resolved because of his good luck.

It is precisely because of these past that Xu Youzhen has been able to embark on the line of Jin Ying, and has not been suspected. Not only that, but also because he knew how to be an official and often gave gifts to Jin Ying, he became one of his confidants.

Under such a relationship, it is not difficult for Xu Youzhen to see Jin Ying. What's more, when he came this time, he also brought some extremely confidential documents. After the moment of giving it to Jin Ying, the other party's look has always been very dignified. It has been less than half an hour. Jin Ying's wrinkled eyebrows have no intention to slow down.

After about half a cup of tea, with a long sigh, Jin Ying just put down the manuscript, looked up and asked Xu Youzhen, who stood there very respectfully, "where did these things come from?"

"It was bought by a businessman at a high price. As you know, there are few things that can't be done in this world as long as there is silver." Xu Youzhen looked respectful and spoke cautiously.

"Merchant?" Jin Ying was puzzled at first, but then nodded heavily. "Yes, Zhongdan's side is not monolithic. It's possible to get some of his secrets as long as he gives enough silver. What does he want to do with these things?"

Holding documents about Yu Shiyue's mistakes since he became an official, Jin Ying knows that once it is published to the public, the official career of the Minister of punishment will be over. How can a person with problems take charge of the criminal power of a country? Doesn't this mean that thieves want to judge thieves and be laughed at?

"This... Must be because of Yu Xiong. After all, as the driving force behind the scenes, he almost hurt the third lady of Zhongdan Gong. With his personality, it would be strange if he didn't fight back?" Xu Youzhen said in a way of speculation, but in fact, this speculation is a fact.

"But even if yu Xiong did something wrong, don't implicate the innocent. After all, Yu Shangshu is a person who has just been used by the emperor. If anything happens, it will also be for the emperor's face..." Jin Ying said angrily.

Xu Youzhen answered: "that's true. But Duke Jin also knows that Yu Xiong is in the prison of the Ministry of punishment and has heard very well. Why is there such a treatment? If the root problem is not solved, the matter will not be solved, that is to say, Yu Shangshu can't get around."

"You can't bypass or move lightly," Jin Ying said in an unquestionable tone.

As a confidant of the emperor Dai Zong and the chief eunuch, Jin Ying can't have everything without the support of the emperor. Therefore, once something undermines the emperor's authority, he will never allow it to happen. No wonder he will be so angry.

Xu Youzhen understood this as like as two peas. He had already discussed with Yang Chendong the countermeasures. He saw Kim Ying angry and everything was exactly the same as he had planned. Now Xu Youzhen is going forward. "Duke Jin, you don't know the character of loyal and courageous Duke. It's the Lord of vengeance. I'm afraid he's just thinking about how to bring down Yu Shangshu and then cure Yu Xiong. I'm afraid he won't think about the consequences."

How can Jin Ying not know such a big truth? But still, he will never allow others to provoke the emperor's authority, so once such a thing is to happen, he must stop it.

"Come on, you must be able to come here and get such a thing at a high price. You should have your own way. Let's listen." Jin Ying is very angry, but there is nothing to do. After all, Yang Chendong's existence in the imperial court belongs to the kind of transcendence, and it is the only one who may not pay attention to the imperial order. Although such a thing has not been confirmed, Jin Ying does not want to try, because once something is done, there is no possibility of going back. That is, he has no ability to deal with Yang Chendong, so he can only start from other places, so he hopes to solve it on Xu Youzhen.

Jin Ying did ask herself for advice. Xu Youzhen knew that this was the other party's compromise. This was the most critical place when he talked with Yang Chendong. What they bet on was that Jin Ying valued the maintenance of imperial power. Only the other party meant that. The next thing would be easy to do.

On the contrary, if Jin Ying hesitates about imperial power and protecting Yu Shiyue, it will be difficult to do. Do you really want to publish the evidence obtained by Yang Chendong? If so, you can move the other party, but the effect will not be very good. In order to protect themselves, everyone will inevitably think that Yang Chendong's actions are too extreme, and even unite against him and exclude him. This is the opposite way for Yang Chendong to unite most people to peacefully evolve the Daming regime.

Therefore, Yu Shiyue's affairs can only be solved secretly, not openly. Otherwise, it will only be the result of losing both sides.

Even though Jin Ying asked, Xu Youzhen also said the solution according to the plan. "Duke Jin, in fact, Zhongdan just wanted to punish Yu Xiong, the murderer behind the scenes. As long as he can meet this point, it must be possible to make things smaller and smaller. Feidan can keep Yu Shangshu's position and make everyone look glorious."

Hearing that Xu Youzhen had a way, Jin Ying's face slowed down, "Lord Xu, my father-in-law is willing to hear it."

"That's right," Xu Youzhen told the whole story, "If you want to keep these things secret from the public, Yu Shangshu is bound to give in. As for Yu Xiong, you must sacrifice. Otherwise, Duke Zhongdan will not stop. And this matter needs Duke Jin to talk about. As long as you come forward, Yu Shangshu must give in even if he has thousands of reluctance. Even in order to protect Yu Shangshu's power, we must give in You can find a scapegoat, such as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of punishment, who can blame him for all the crimes. It is said that Bao Yu Xiong's action was a decision made privately by this person without Yu Shangshu's permission. In this way, you can protect yourself and have a reputation for fairness and integrity. As for Zhong Dan, the minister will go to Hu's house to find Lord Hu, If you talk as your father-in-law, Zhongdan will certainly give face. Think about it, it is the third lady who was almost hurt. Now the father of the first lady has come forward. If he doesn't stop, he offended the first lady because of the third lady. It must be light and heavy. The smart Zhongdan should know how to choose. "

Jin Ying kept nodding his head. Xu Youzhen's suggestion was indeed feasible. It could not only preserve the emperor's authority, but also protect Yu Shiyue's high position. He had an explanation to either party. But he was a little suspicious of Hu Changning's appearance. "Lord Xu, are you sure that Hu Zhenfu will help us?"

"There is nothing impossible in the world. For example, the royal guards are still short of an official. If they can be promoted to a higher level, it will not be a problem." Xu Youzhen smiled with a sly smile, showing that everything was clear to her.

"Oh, ha ha, that's good, that's good." Jin Ying laughed when he heard this. From this point of view, it's just that he can settle the matter and safeguard the imperial power by granting a third grade official position. It's worth it anyway. "Well, then do as Lord Xu said. If it's done this time, Lord Xu has made great contributions. If you have a chance in the future, my father-in-law will speak well for you in front of the emperor."

"Thank you, father-in-law Jin," said Xu Youzhen, pretending to be very happy, and then with a move of her hand, five hundred thousand Liang silver notes from the Yang bank were sent to Jin Ying. "Thank you for your promotion, father-in-law. This is a little intention of the minister."

It's half a million Liang. It's not so simple. Jin Ying's face was stunned at first, and then he seemed to figure out something. He laughed and said, "OK, OK, Lord Xu is really a hero. In this way, my father-in-law knows what's going on. There's just a left servant missing from the Ministry of punishment, but whether he can be superior depends on your luck and the emperor's mood."
