"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
Yang Tiejiang shouted.
Emperor Wenyuan looked at Yang Tiejiang in a good mood, his eyes gentle, "My dear Yang, please stand up."
Yang Tiejiang didn't stand up, but continued loudly, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang just said he wants to thoroughly investigate me. Please do so. Although you trust me in this matter, so many of the gentlemen present don't. They think I'm treasonous and have even produced some confessions as evidence. If there's no set rules, I'm afraid these gentlemen won't let this go."
These words immediately changed the expressions of Wang Hong and others.
"My Lord, we all trust His Majesty. Please don't try to sow discord."
"Yes, Lord, we are just being realistic and not deliberately opposing you. Why do you have to be so alarmist?
"Hmph, if your conscience is truly clear, why would you surrender your military power? I think you're just guilty..."
The person who said this was Xu Xuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the maternal cousin of Empress Xu. He was very unhappy when he heard Yang Tiejiang mention Empress Xu.
What does it mean to be a royal relative of the Empress? Isn't this just trying to discredit the Xu family in front of the Emperor?
Yang Tiejiang really thinks he is a big shot.
Now that he has handed over his military power, he is nothing! !
When Wang Hong heard what Xu Xuan said, his expression changed slightly.
But before Wang Hong could speak, Yang Tiejiang turned around and glanced at Xu Xuan: "Master Xu, do you think that I was wrong to hand over the military order to His Majesty?"
"I didn't say that."
Who dares to say that handing in the military token is wrong?
"Master Xu, do you think that in order to prove my innocence, I must hold onto the military token tightly, and then allow you to accuse me of treason, and even allow you to kill my entire family, in order to prove my innocence?"
Many people looked at Xu Xuan and frowned.
Even if some people really dislike Yang Tiejiang, they mock him in public just after he handed over his military power, and implicitly say that he handed over his military power because he was guilty. Isn't this just provoking trouble?
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at Xu Xuan with a gloomy look.
Xu Xuan finally reacted and said quickly, "My Lord, why do you have to misunderstand me? I just..."
"What are you?"
Yang Tiejiang took off his other shoe and threw it at him: "I think you think that since I handed over my military power, I'm easy to bully. You want to kill me right now."
"I'm telling you, Xu Xuan. When I, Yang Tiejiang, dared to go to the battlefield armed with two notched kitchen knives, I never thought of surviving. If you dare to frame me or touch my family, I will kill you with the kitchen knives."
This statement couldn't be more blunt.
But it made many people laugh. This was Yang Tiejiang, the foolish Yang Tiejiang who dared to hug the empress dowager and call her mother in public, and beat up foreign envoys in public...
No matter how many conspiracies and tricks you have in front of him, he will tear them apart with his hands and hang them in public.
Xu Xuan was hit by the shoe and his face turned black.
Yang Tiejiang ignored him and turned to look at Emperor Wenyuan and said, "Your Majesty, you have seen that I have no choice but to hand over my military power. I will be blamed anyway."
"It seems like none of them would be satisfied unless they kill me today."
"So, please investigate me thoroughly. I am upright and have nothing to fear from being investigated. I can endure injustice, but I cannot let anyone misunderstand that Your Majesty is partial."
