The Great Han Palace, the Imperial Study.

After listening to Huo Hong and Ye Yunyang's reports, Emperor Liu Qi said angrily: "Wang Bingjian actually did such a rebellious thing, I have trusted him over the years, he is loyal and patriotic on the surface, and he accepted millions of taels of bribes in private, which is simply an unforgivable sin." ”

Liu Yu Jiaojiao said: "Who said it wasn't, and when High Priest Huo Hong rushed into his study, he was ready to bite the high priest back on the charge of framing, and he planned to refuse to admit it." ”

The emperor was furious: "Damn, too hateful." ”

The crown prince shook his head and said, "I remember the last time the Duke of Anping County reminded his father that Wang Bingjian had accepted the benefits of Sun Chengwen, the prime minister of Dongping Kingdom, and suspected that he had colluded with the barbarian king. You still don't believe it, it's only been a few days since he happened. No wonder he will spare no effort to say good things for the barbarian king, we all think that he fell for the barbarian king, in fact, he is for the reward of 200,000 taels of silver, for the money can betray the country, this kind of person is indeed an unforgivable sin. ”

The emperor raised his head and asked the eunuch standing at the door, "Have you finished counting the amount of stolen silver?"

The eunuch replied, "Your Majesty has already counted a total of 1,630,000 taels of silver, 160,000 taels of gold, and the value of various gems, jewels, and antiques is conservatively estimated at more than one million taels, and the total of the three taels is four million taels. ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Four million taels! How can he collect millions of taels of money from a young imperial historian who doesn't care about the promotion of officials, nor about the work of collecting taxes and construction and other financial revenues and expenditures?"

Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "It's nothing more than using your relationship with Your Majesty to help some people accomplish things they can't do, such as letting go of the Barbarian King and then making a profit from it." ”

The crown prince suggested: "Father, since the evidence is conclusive, should we strictly deal with Wang Bingjian and give an explanation to the imperial court." ”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Wang Bingjian colluded with the barbarian king to accept bribes, and ordered the criminal department to find out who sent these bribes and investigate the responsibility of those responsible." As for Wang Bingjian, for the sake of his years of hard work and high achievements, he was spared, dismissed from all his positions and demoted to a concubine, never recoverable for life, and all his family property and stolen money were confiscated. ”

Hearing these words, Ye Yunyang's heart was half cold, the emperor was really reluctant to kill Wang Bingjian, but he was just dismissed and demoted to a concubine, but the other party no longer had the ability to retaliate against him, strictly speaking, he won this round.

The emperor turned his head to look at Ye Yunyang and said, "When Wang Bingjian found out about corruption, Yunyang is the first merit, what reward do you want?"

Ye Yunyang wanted to say that it was better to give me the money that Wang Bingjian had embezzled, but he had to say with a humble face: "This is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers, and besides, it is selfish to expose Wang Bingjian, he did something to me about being knighted more than half a year ago, and bringing him down is tantamount to avenging himself, so I can't ask for His Majesty's reward." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said with a relieved face: "Yun Yang is still a very frank person, but you do have merit in this matter, and I will keep it in my heart, and it will be one of the credits for your promotion in the future." ”

The next day, Wang Bingjian's corruption and dismissal caused a sensation in the imperial capital, and he himself was ordered to leave the imperial capital before sunset today, and he was never allowed to set foot in the imperial capital for the rest of his life.

The original scenery of the imperial history Zhongcheng, now has become a street rat, the trees are scattered, the family property has been confiscated, the family can only hire a dilapidated carriage, he looks lonely and sits on the car towards the city gate,

Until now, he can't figure out what went wrong, he is very careful every time he is bribed, how can his hidden behavior be discovered, and it was the high priest of the temple and the little county lord Liu Yuying who came forward at the same time and caught him off guard, how did the two of them get together?

What are the identities of the teenagers who appeared last night, it is said that the secret room was discovered by one of the teenagers.

He didn't know Ye Yunyang, although Ye Yunyang had been to the Qinzheng Hall when he was worshipping in the Barbarian Dynasty, but because he was hiding behind the pillar, Wang Bingjian, who was standing in front of the hundred officials, didn't see him at all.

Just as the carriage was about to reach the North City Gate, the son who acted as the coachman suddenly grabbed the reins, because their way was blocked by three teenagers, led by Ye Yunyang.

Wang Bingjian frowned and asked, "What are you going to do, if I'm not mistaken, you were the ones who broke into my study yesterday." ”

Ye Yunyang sneered: "It seems that you really don't know me, then I will reluctantly introduce myself, my name is Ye Yunyang, and the emperor once named me the Marquis of Feng'an County at the suggestion of Lord Wang." ”

Wang Bingjian's eyes widened: "You...... You are Ye Yunyang, Huo Hong and the little county lord are all found by you, right, you are here to avenge me for harming you, right?"

Ye Yunyang nodded very happily and said, "That's right, Lord Wang is really a smart person, and he can understand it at all." I was almost killed by you at the beginning, and I should take revenge on you, but I don't understand how much benefit Sun Chengwen gave you to slander the emperor. ”

Wang Bingjian did not hide it, and said: "Ten thousand taels of silver." ”

Ye Yunyang laughed: "Lord Wang actually lost his official position for this mere 10,000 taels of silver, which makes people feel pity! If you haven't dealt with me, I don't bother to trouble you, with your means of collecting money, before reaching the age of returning to the hometown, it is not difficult to make enough 10 million taels, but now that the hard-earned money has been confiscated, and you have been driven out of the court like a lost dog, you have failed too much in this business." Toshihiko and Zishi, let's go and find a place to celebrate. ”

The three of them walked away, Wang Bingjian's chest rose and fell for a while, and he opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and his son quickly asked with concern: "Father, are you okay, do you want me to take you to the doctor?"

Wang Bingjian said in a weak tone: "Your Majesty ordered me to leave the imperial capital, I must carry it out, I can hold on, let's continue to hurry." ”

Yin Zishi glanced back and said, "Brother Ye is really powerful, a few words made the old guy vomit blood angrily, I estimate that he won't live too long, and he will definitely die in shame." ”

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and said a classic: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, you wait and see, the next one to fall is Sun Chengwen, Junyan, you can write a letter to Taiwei Wu, let him avoid the edge from now on, and try not to fight with the surname Sun." ”

Wu Junyan didn't understand: "Why, if my father doesn't fight with the surnamed Sun, he won't have to his tail to the sky." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy." ”

The two of them looked at him with puzzled eyes: "I don't understand, explain it." ”

Literally, if you want a person to hasten his downfall, the most effective way is to get him carried away, thinking that everything is under his control. He sold it and said, "I can't tell you the specific situation, you just need to know that the surname Sun won't be able to jump for a few days." ”

Wu Junyan nodded and said: "I understand, you mean that there is no need to deal with a person who is about to die, if he likes it, he has to go, I will write to my father tonight, so that he will not be an enemy of the surname Sun during this time." ”

Time flies, there are ten more days is the Winter Festival, the streets of the imperial capital become lively, according to the habits of the year, from around the Winter Festival to the Spring Festival and even the whole New Year, the imperial capital will be more lively than usual.

The reason why it started around the Winter Festival was because according to the ancestral system of the Han Empire, the seven great vassal kings had to bring their children to worship the emperor on this day, and each vassal envoy had hundreds or thousands of people, adding up to tens of thousands. There are suddenly such a large number of people in the imperial capital, and their consumption in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation alone is an astronomical amount. After they leave, it is already very close to the end of the year, and the people of the imperial capital will purchase all kinds of New Year's goods on a large scale and become the new main force of consumption, and it is the eternal truth that consumption drives the economy.

On this day, the Zhao delegation passed through the West City Gate, Honglu Temple Qing personally led the deployment to greet, hundreds of carriages swaggered through the city, plus thousands of guards, servants, palace maids and officials composed of a team, to the State Guesthouse.

Zhao is the closest to the imperial capital among the seven major feudal states, the straight-line distance is less than two thousand miles, and it can be reached in four days under the normal driving speed, and every year the Zhao delegation is the first to enter the imperial capital.

Ye Yunyang witnessed the huge momentum of the mission, shook his head and said to the two dead friends: "No wonder the emperor wants to cut the domain, you have also seen it, these vassal kings don't know what it means to be low-key, and they can make such a big battle when they come to worship the emperor, which shows that they are more luxurious on their own territory." The imperial court spends tens of thousands of dollars a year to raise a vassal king, and only by cutting them can the empire have a more abundant treasury income and a stronger army. ”

Wu Junyan echoed: "Who said no, in fact, the biggest cancer of our Han Empire is not that there are many vassal states, but that there are too many vassal states, and the vassal states have to pay taxes to the imperial court every year, for example, our Dongping Kingdom, after being promoted to the sixth place in the Seven Kingdoms, needs to pay 7.5% of the commercial tax and agricultural tax every year, adding up to millions of taels of silver." But if you look at the seven major feudal states, you don't have to give the emperor a penny in taxes, and you have to allocate tens of thousands of money and food from the treasury to them, just because they are on the front line of the fight against the Great Qin Empire, but every time they encounter an attack by the Qin army, they will at most play a role in diversion, and in the end, the imperial court has to send reinforcements to drive the enemy out. ”

Yin Zishi expressed his opinion: "But the vassal state and the vassal state are the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, which has existed for thousands of years, which can be changed if it is said, the previous emperors all had the idea of cutting the domain, but in the end they all died without a problem, and it is precisely because of this that the vassal kings will be so lawless, they are not afraid at all." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled: "That was before, their life will not be so easy in the future, you wait and see, this situation will be greatly improved in less than fifty years, and after a hundred years, only the Great Han will have no vassal states." ”

The Tui En Decree is not a joke, at most two generations, it can divide a powerful country into pieces, and then the princely titles will become very worthless.
