Chapter 1052

Zhang Qi suddenly jumped in his heart. Yang Tian's words were like a cold arrow, which suddenly shot into his eyes, which caught him off guard. In fact, he also felt that Zhong Yao would have problems when he went to Chang'an. It was just that Zhong Yao had a high status and was not something that could be controlled by a small person like him, so he remained silent, but he never expected that Yang Tian would throw this matter out.
When Zhang Qi was panicking, the door opened. His wife brought in two cups of tea. Zhang Qi's wife didn't know Yang Tian and thought she was her husband's colleague. She smiled and said, "Zhang Lang, when the guest left, bring Jiaozhou local specialties."
Yang Tian smiled, "Thank you, madam!"
Seeing that her husband lowered his head and said nothing, she felt a little strange, so she stepped back. Yang Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Madam Zun is very good! I still remember giving me local specialties. It is a blessing for Yang to have such a virtuous wife!"
Zhang Qi raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice: "Yang Zhongcheng just tell me clearly! What exactly do you want to do with me?"
"happy!"
Yang Tian nodded and smiled twitched: "I like Zhang's quick words, so I'll say it clearly. As the Chief Censor, I'm going to impeach Zhong Yao for an affair with the Han Dynasty, but I need someone to testify, so I hope Zhang's testimony."
Zhang Qi's face turned pale, which was what he feared the most. He was involved in worldly disputes. He was just a small person and would die miserably in this kind of power struggle.
"Don't be nervous, you just want to answer truthfully. I already have accurate information. I just hope someone will testify, not let you frame it. This is how you do it! You express your opinion first, and then we will discuss how to do it?"
"Yang Zhongcheng, can you... find someone else? I... I really can't." Zhang Qi stuttered.
Yang Tian's face immediately darkened and he said coldly: "Zhang Qi, who do you think I am? I will come and beg you in a low voice? I might as well tell you the truth. You are the chosen one of the world. I am giving you a chance now. If you don't know how to politely, don't blame me for being polite!"
Yang Tian took out a book and threw it in front of him, "You can read it yourself!"
Zhang Qi picked up the book, turned over two pages, and his hands trembled violently. That was the only mistake he made. Last year, he secretly accepted fifty taels of gold given to him by the Xianbei envoy. He thought that he knew nothing, but the book clearly wrote it clearly. Where did he accept it? How much gold was accepted? It was as if someone was watching someone recording it.
Yang Tian snorted heavily, "You should be executed. I can capture you tonight and wait for death in prison. What should your mother do? What should you do if you two children? Do you believe it or not, I will sell them to Xianbei people as slaves, and your ancestral home and ancestral land will not belong to you. Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
"Stop talking! Please stop talking!"
Zhang Qi was so scared that he trembled all over. He held his head with his hands and begged hard. He was already broken. A hint of pride flashed in Yang Tian's eyes. Such a small official dared to fight him. At this time, his tone calmed down again, "I don't want you to come forward to testify. As long as you write a report on the mission truthfully and sign your name, it's like you report to your superiors in writing. The key is to write down the details of Zhong Yao's contact with the Han Kingdom clearly and then hand it over to me. You will be fine. When you ascend the throne in the future, you will naturally not forget your loyalty and let you go to a foreign county to serve as a guard. Your career will be smooth from now on. Then you are grateful to me and it's too late."
Yang Tian used both soft and hard work, and finally made Zhang Qi surrender. He whispered: "Okay! I'll write, I'll write, when will I want it?"
"Write now, I'll take it away after I finish writing."
Zhang Qi had no choice but to spread the paper and pen, write down the situation of his follower of Zhong Yao to Jiaozhou, and then to Han State in detail. In particular, he wrote clearly about the details of Zhong Yao's contact with Han State. It took him more than half an hour to finish the report of thousands of words, and then handed it to Yang Tian.
Yang Tian stood beside him and watched him finish writing. He read it again, feeling overjoyed, as if he had received a treasure, he put his confession away and said with a smile: "Let's wait for the world's commendation! I'll say goodbye first."
He turned around and walked to the yard and laughed loudly, "Madam, I'm leaving."
Zhang Qi's wife walked out quickly and "bring the local products with you before leaving."
"I have something to do today, I'll give it to me next time!"
Yang Tiangong bowed and left. Zhang Qi's wife waited for them to walk away. She quickly closed the yard gate and turned around and complained, "Why have you been talking about for so long? What are you talking about?"
Zhang Qi shook his head and sighed, "Stop asking, don't ask anything."
He walked towards the study, his wife looked at his back in confusion and asked again, "Zhang Lang, do you want to have a meal?"
The answer to her was to close the door with a 'bang'.
.........
Because Cao Cao was old, he had little sleep. He got up before the hour of Mao. He first drank a little porridge and then took a slow walk in the garden. This was the case every day.
When his daughter Cao Xian was there, his daughter would help him take a walk slowly. Now that his daughter is married, she still insists on walking, but the person who helped him becomes his wife Bian.
Although Bian gave birth to Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong Si for Cao Cao, she still lived in a low-key manner, rarely appeared in front of others, and would not interfere in government affairs.
The only thing that worries her was the power struggle between several children, especially the increasingly fierce struggle between Changpi and Zhi made her feel extremely sad, but she was powerless.
Bian supported her husband and walked slowly on the path. Seeing that his wife was browning, Cao Cao knew her worries and smiled and comforted her, "The two are my sons, and I don't want them to be fratricidal in the future. The best way is that they have no strength to compete. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I don't understand!" Bian whispered.
"Hey! I'm confused, I'll tell you all this."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. It won't make Zhier no longer have any strength and cannot form a threat. Perhaps for the sake of his brothers, Pier will let him be a rich man and live his life safely, so that they can't fight."
"If so, I'll be relieved."
While the two were talking, Cao Cao saw a guard leaning out not far away. He said a little displeased: "What's the matter?"
The guards gritted their teeth and politely said, "Report to Duke Wei, and the Censor Yang Zhongcheng has reported an emergency."
Cao Cao did not receive any officials in the morning for a visit, which was a time when everyone knew it, especially when he was walking, so he was not allowed to disturb his tranquility. As the chief censor, this should be clearer. However, Yang Tian dared to come to ask for a visit at this time, which made Cao Cao somewhat interested.
At this time, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that Cao Pi rushed to Bingzhou overnight to deal with the official escape incident that occurred there. He felt something in his heart and ordered him to say, "Let him wait in the outside official room!"
Cao Cao no longer took a walk. He returned to the room and added an outer robe and slowly walked towards the outer official room. The outer official room was the place where Cao Cao met with ministers and discussed important military affairs. At this time, Yang Tian had been taken outside the official room to wait.
He was very nervous. In the afternoon, Zhong Yao would officially report the results of his trip to Jiaozhou to Cao Cao. He had to meet Cao Cao before Zhong Yao reported, report and impeach Zhong Yao. For this reason, Cao Pi also set out overnight to avoid the Zhong Yao impeachment case.
Yang Tian also knew that Cao Cao would not meet the ministers in the morning, but at this time he could no longer care about it and could only take a gamble. Fortunately, he was lucky, and Cao Cao actually agreed to meet him, which made a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He stood in the yard and waited for a while, his hands and feet were numb from the cold. At this time, a guard came out of the room and said to him: "Yang Zhongcheng, Mr. Wei will let you in!"
Yang Tian quickly rubbed his hands and walked into the room quickly. In the room, Cao Cao was already sitting and was drinking a cup of tea calmly. Yang Tian stepped forward and knelt down and bowed, "Mr. Yang Tian, pay homage to Duke Wei!"
Cao Cao didn't raise his eyelids and asked lightly: "Yang Zhongcheng came here so early, is there anything urgent?"
"Reporting to Duke Wei, the empress wants to impeach Junshi Zhong and acquaintance with the Han State, which will endanger the interests of Wei State."
Cao Cao was stunned. He didn't expect that this would be the case. He put down the tea bowl and asked, "Didn't Junshi Zhong go on a mission to Jiaozhou? How did he become an affair with the Han Kingdom?"
"Reported to Wei State, Zhong Yao went to Han State on his way back, and was warmly received by the Han State. Liu Jing even went to the Guibin Inn to visit him in person. Does Wei Duke know about these things?"
Cao Cao really didn't know that he frowned. He didn't let Zhong Yao go to the Han Dynasty. Why did he go to Chang'an without authorization? It seemed that a thorn appeared on Cao Cao's back. He felt uncomfortable and felt a little dissatisfied.
"Do you have evidence?"
"There is conclusive evidence for a low position!"
Yang Tian took out Chang'an's intelligence and Zhang Qi's confession and submitted it to Cao Cao, and said: "I received the information from Chang'an Fei Ge the day before yesterday. I should have submitted it to Wei Gong immediately, but I also wanted to confirm whether the information was true, so I secretly visited a follower of Junshi Zhong last night. He told Wei Chen about the detailed process of Junshi Zhong's trip to Chang'an, which was exactly the same as Chang'an's intelligence, so I dared to impeach Junshi Zhong and an affair with the Han Dynasty."
Cao Cao picked up two more pieces of evidence and looked carefully. It was basically the same, but the confession was more detailed. He pondered for a moment and asked again: "Do you know about this?"
"After receiving Chang'an information, I immediately reported to Shi, but Shi said that the matter is of great importance and that the important officials cannot be impeached at will. There must be conclusive evidence. Therefore, Wei Me went to secretly investigate a follower last night, and only after the evidence was conclusive, dared to write an impeachment letter."
