Chapter 270: Deceit

The next day's morning dynasty was quite lively, reaching the kind of heat that had been in the early stage of the Eighth Prince's rebellion.

But Ye Hansi was expressionless with a shelf, and he didn't stop the noisy shouting below, but watched their farce with the attitude of watching a play.

The reason is only because he can see at a glance that they can't make much waves, not to mention anything else, even the Eighth Prince, who was imprisoned not long ago, they may not be able to compare.

"General Wang, we have already made a plan for the winter military salary, and now that you propose to increase the military salary, I ask you where to find so much food to add? Could it be that in this harsh winter that is about to celebrate the New Year, go and plunder the people's winter food?" An old minister was so noisy that his face was red, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

The one called General Wang was unimpressed, "The plan can't catch up with the change, and it happens suddenly, which is also a matter of no choice, who would have thought that part of the military salary would be robbed by the mountain bandits?" ”

"Mountain bandits robbed military salaries, as a leading general, you are not ashamed but proud? I don't think about how to end the den of thieves, but I think about how to plunder the people?" The old minister was so angry that his hands were shaking, and Ye Hansi suspected that he might even turn his back on him.

General Wang, Ye Hansi has a little impression, when cleaning up the remnants of the Eighth Prince, some people have reflected his style problems, and he is not greedy for military salaries once or twice, but the number is not much each time, and he is in a state of "controlling and making a big fuss, and no matter what, he is scratching his heart and liver".

However, after investigation, he did have the problem of unclean hands and feet, and compared to his excellent ability to lead the army, a bit of corruption is not worth mentioning.

It has nothing to do with the Eighth Prince, and at that time, he was also decisively neutral, impartial, and not involved, so Ye Hansi didn't move him.

A large number of officials will be dealt with, and the rest of the people will not move if they can, otherwise it will not be easy to stabilize.

This situation makes many old ministers unbearable, and they can usually turn a blind eye, after all, how many people are really clean in the court?

But approaching the end of the year, and having just experienced the matter of the eighth prince combining with the merchants to harm the people, at this time, it is necessary to collect military salaries, and must not cause some complaints and damage the reputation of the court?

Although the two of them were still standing politely, they were not inferior to each other, but Ye Hansi, who had watched a farce, did not look at them noisy and the people who tried to persuade them next to them, but moved to the position of a person in the front.

Prime Minister Wei Cheng.

Born in a poor grass people, he has advanced through scientific examinations, and because he knows how to take care of the relationship, he has risen rapidly, but he has been firmly in the position of prime minister in less than ten years.

Ambition is hidden, but it is still revealed in his actions.

Although he is deliberately cautious, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and what he does will inevitably leave traces.

When the eighth prince was disposed of, there was also a secret letter mentioning Prime Minister Wei Cheng in a secret letter, but the evidence was insufficient and not deep, so it could only be seen that he was wooing officials, and he couldn't find out any outrageous moves.

Therefore, Ye Hansi could only take the opportunity to take back his 100 acres of fertile land and some titles, and was demoted to the deputy prime minister, and there was no superfluous action left, quietly waiting for him to show his feet.

According to the secret agent sent to report, this General Wang had close contact with Wei Chengxiang a few days ago, and he had been waiting for them for a long time.

Although Prime Minister Wei Cheng is ambitious, he is very cautious, Ye Hansi has long guessed that he will not come out on his own, but find someone to test his meaning.

In the middle of their argument, the others either hung up on their own affairs or made inconsequential remarks, when suddenly a neutral voice sounded.

"I heard that General Wang and Prime Minister Wei have been getting close recently, but it happened suddenly, didn't you ask him for a solution? Oh, forgot, it's Vice Prime Minister Wei now. "97 Chinese

Hearing that he was mentioned, Prime Minister Wei couldn't pretend to be an invisible person in front of him, and frowned and said, "What does General Yang mean?"

From the angle from which the two of them could see each other, Prime Minister Wei's eyes were dark and gloomy, staring at him fiercely, just to see what he was going to say.

This Yang Lifeng, who had today's status because of his favor, became more and more disobedient later, and quietly found someone to send his daughter to the palace and became Yang Zhaoyi, which means that it is not too obvious to get rid of control.

It's just that General Yang has developed to the present and has his own small forces, not to mention that the people who hold part of the military power must always be vigilant, how can they let him get out of control?

Forced by such means, General Yang's desire to break away naturally became stronger and stronger.

"Heh," General Yang's voice, which was full of energy, was extremely eye-catching in the silent hall, and he sneered, "People who are vulgar under the city will not beat around the bush, and naturally they have something to say, which is literal." ”

The ministers discussed in a whisper, doesn't this mean that they are obviously accusing them of colluding in private, the example of the eighth prince is still hot in front, at this time, what will Ye Hansi decide?

Everyone looked at the indifferent Ye Hansi, only to see him pursing his lips and being silent, unhurriedly, "Why don't you tell the person what's going on?" ”

At this moment, Prime Minister Wei, General Wang, and General Yang discovered at the same time that such a young emperor actually made them unable to understand his meaning after being involved in the politics of the dynasty for many years, so they couldn't help but be wary and fell to their knees in unison.

"General Wang told Weichen about the bandits some time ago, and Weichen suggested that he report to His Majesty, but he never imagined that such a matter related to people's livelihood would be said by General Yang so unbearable, it is really chilling."

Prime Minister Wei squinted like a fox and opened his mouth first, in response to what General Wang said earlier, and blocked General Yang's mouth by the way.

General Wang said yes again and again, squinting at General Yang, and he also looked disappointed and angry.

General Yang snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and asked, "As you said, you reported this matter to the Holy Lord, did the Holy Lord see it?" And how did you reply?"

Hearing this, Ye Hansi paused silently, he had recently been pulled by Chu Yuxi to rest, except for the major twists and turns, he really hadn't seen much else, and many people in the palace knew about it.

Who knew that without Ye Hansi to speak, General Wang was startled by General Yang first, and his psychological quality was low, and he knelt on the ground, crying, "The minister wanted to repair the book for the emperor, but he forgot about it when he was busy, I hope the emperor will investigate it clearly and forgive his sins!" ”

What can you forget? What I just said about people's livelihood is so slap in the face, what can I do?

It's just that his speed is so fast that Prime Minister Wei doesn't have time to stop him, so he can only secretly scold the fool for not admitting himself.

Since he recognized it, Ye Hansi was not ambiguous, took back the military power in General Wang's hands on the spot, demoted him to a commoner, and was not allowed to enter the officialdom for generations.

Although Prime Minister Wei lost his power, he could only bitterly kneel down with everyone and say in unison: "Emperor Mingjian, long live, long live, long live!"

General Wang was completely shocked by the behavior of abandoning the car to protect the marshal, and in a panic, he was about to say something to redeem it, but he was stared at by the forces threatened by Prime Minister Wei.

Suddenly the blood was cold, yes, Prime Minister Wei was so cautious, he naturally held the other party's handle in his hand before cooperating, and he was relieved that his handle was enough to punish the nine clans, and it was already light to be degraded to a commoner in comparison.

So he cried bitterly and knelt on the ground, "Weichen is guilty, thank Your Majesty for forgiveness!" ”

The court was stable for a while.
