The eunuch standing beside the emperor also saw that the momentum was wrong, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty has an order, and there is a morning ......."

"The minister has this!" Zhang Ziping immediately jumped out.

"The minister also has a book, and he wants to participate in the killing of Prime Minister Li Fuchen by Wuyinghou Ye Yunyang!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

Dozens of ministers invariably stood up in unison, pointing the spearhead at Ye Yunyang.

The prince glanced at him, which means that your kid is so fat, he has just been exonerated of his previous crimes, and he hasn't even seen the emperor's face, and he has caused such a big disaster, which is really not worry-free.

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders with a flat expression.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Marquis Wu Ying, is it true that the ministers participated in the performance?"

He replied loudly: "That's right, Ben Hou killed Li Fuchen. ”

The emperor's face darkened: "Why?"

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you must think that I am here to avenge my personal revenge and vent my personal anger, right? The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty must have thought the same way, and I can tell you very responsibly that the killing of Li Fuchen was not for revenge, but for the sake of the Han Dynasty and thousands of Li people! This person's crime is unforgivable, and not killing him is not enough to make the people angry." ”

Zhang Ziping-for-tat: "Ye Yunyang, you don't wear a high hat for yourself, Prime Minister Li Cheng has been dedicated to the public for decades, how many practical things he has done for His Majesty and the Han Dynasty, it can be described as hard work, how can it be that you can erase it with a few words?"

Ye Yunyang sneered: "Zhang Taishou, you were picked up by Li Fuchen, of course you will say good things for him! You touched your conscience and said, did Li Fuchen form a party for personal gain, did he engage in favoritism, did he disregard people's lives, did he take advantage of the country's crisis?"

Zhang Ziping chuckled in his heart, as Li Fuchen's henchman, of course he knew these things, but why did Ye Yunyang also know?

Li Fuchen is a thoughtful person, and he does things even more thoroughly, so it stands to reason that he should not be caught by someone - pigtails.

Several guys glanced at each other, and someone whispered: "Don't look at the surname Ye's voice, he definitely has no evidence in his hand, it's just hearsay, let's not be afraid of him, continue to confront him, he will run out of words immediately." ”

Zhang Ziping nodded, it must be so.

He snorted coldly: "Wu Yinghou, you keep accusing Prime Minister Li Cheng, you just want to make excuses for your murderous actions, achieve the effect of confusing the public, and evade the responsibility for murder. ”

He turned his head to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Ye Yunyang's murder is obvious to all ministers, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to kill Ye Yunyang and correct the law of the country!"

"Your Majesty, please uphold the law of the country!" the crowd petitioned.

Huo Hong opened his mouth and said: "My lords, you always need a reason to kill, that is, the so-called motive for killing, you don't even care about such an important link, and directly ask Your Majesty to severely punish Wu Yinghou, there is a suspicion of killing people." ”

"Yes, why don't you let Wu Yinghou make it clear, what do you mean by being in a hurry to block his mouth?" Qin Wei's mouth was even more poisonous, and he said coldly: "Could it be that Li Fuchen has really done all the bad things, you are all accomplices, for fear that things will be shaken out, so you are in a hurry to let Your Majesty kill people, right?"

The noses of a group of people were almost crooked, and they all spoke negatively, and the hall became chaotic.

The emperor said angrily: "Silence! What kind of system is it to be noisy above the court! From now on, whoever I ask, who can answer, those who do not go without permission must remain quiet, and those who dare to violate it will be severely punished!"

Everyone became submissive, only Ye Yunyang, Huo Hong, and Qin Wei stood tall and stood outstanding.

The emperor lightly frowned and asked, "Marquis Wu Ying, you just listed all kinds of bad deeds of Li Fuchen, do you have any evidence?"

Ye Yunyang said indifferently: "Of course there is!"

"Honestly!"

"Yes!"

Ye Yunyang took a step forward and said, "Just now I accused Li Fuchen of the four major crimes, which are forming a party for personal gain, favoritism, disregarding people's lives, and making it difficult for the country to make money. ”

First of all, Li Fuchen has controlled the government for many years and cultivated countless party henchmen. These people either waved flags and shouted around him as dogs' legs, or served as local administrators, and they only obeyed the decrees of the ministers, and the orders of the court and the emperor, if they were beneficial to themselves, they would carry them out, and if they were unfavorable to themselves, they would use all kinds of means to circumvent, prevaricate, and refuse to carry them out.

There is no need for evidence for this, and the reason why the emperor was jealous of Li Fuchen and had to reactivate it was because of this that only when Li Fuchen came forward, those officials would do things in a proper manner.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about favoritism and irregularities, and anyone who commits a crime will definitely have someone to help settle the matter, and those who do something against them will use various methods to frame them until the other party falls.

The general Yin Falcon repeatedly wrote to request the relocation of the barbarians to the Han Dynasty, but Li Fuchen concealed this matter and did not report it, and also ordered the withdrawal of the Southern Barbarian defenders, leaving the barbarians to fend for themselves.

On the surface, he doesn't regard the barbarians as the people of the Han Dynasty, but looks at it more far-reaching, which is deliberately forcing the barbarians to oppose and negate the previous great victory of the Southern Barbarians.

Not to mention that it is difficult to make a fortune, in the imperial capital at this moment, all the living materials are controlled by the people of the Li Party, and they make a lot of money at low prices and high prices.

Of course, the people of the Li Party refused to admit Ye Yunyang's evidence, and Zhang Ziping, led by Zhang Ziping, asked Ye Yunyang to come up with ironclad evidence, otherwise they would never give up.

Could it be that things are at such a point that the two sides have become irreconcilable?

The prince saw that Ye Yunyang couldn't come up with ironclad evidence at all, in other words, he couldn't come up with evidence on the spot, and the other party was aggressive and wouldn't give him a chance to verify.

The emperor was also anxious, he had believed at least eight or nine points of what Ye Yunyang said just now, but there was no evidence but it was a big problem.

"Do you want ironclad evidence?" Ye Yunyang was not in a hurry at all, and said with a sneer: "Ben Hou convinces you, where is the book of the household!"

A thin old man took two steps forward and said, "This official is the head of the household, what advice does Wu Yinghou have?"

Ye Yunyang looked him up and down, shook his head and said, "You should have made a lot of money, why are you still hungry like this?" ”

"Wu Yinghou, what do you mean?" said the old man with a glare.

"It's not interesting, Ben Hou asked you, where is the grain in the treasury?" he said.

Shang Shu Zhengse replied: "It has already been sold!" This official knows what Wu Yinghou is going to ask next, so he will tell you the answer directly, according to the practice of the imperial court, three months before the summer grain is ripe, the reserve grain in the treasury can be sold, and the treasury will be vacated to load new grain, and the official will sell grain and vacate the treasury in accordance with the regulations. ”

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "Lord Shangshu picked himself really cleanly!Then let me ask you, who did you sell the grain to?"

"Naturally, he is a grain merchant in the imperial capital. Shang Shu replied proudly: "His name is ......."

"I don't want to know the name of the grain merchant. Ye Yunyang was very faceless, interrupted his words, and said, "What I want to know is, when was the grain sold?"

Shang Shu's face changed slightly: "For the transaction completed half a month ago, the headquarters has a contract stub for grain sales. ”

Half a month ago!

Hearing this time, the emperor's face became ugly, and the price of grain in the imperial capital began to rise half a month ago.

Although the act of selling grain was in line with the practice of the imperial court, as a scholar of the household department, he knew about the ancient seals and the leakage of demonic energy, and he also knew that the surrounding peasants flocked to the city, and the harvest of summer grain would be greatly reduced.

The emperor didn't give an order, but as a minister, you must always think about planning for a rainy day.

Ye Yunyang smiled: "What is the price of grain?"

Shang Shu's face was slightly red, and he whispered: "It was sold according to the price of grain at that time." ”

"How much?" Ye Yunyang deliberately pretended not to hear clearly.

Shang Shu's heart was horizontal and he said loudly: "Based on the market price at that time." ”

"If Ben Hou knows well, the price of grain is three times higher now than it was half a month ago. Ye Yunyang sneered: "Lord Shangshu is really good at doing business, he just sold the grain according to the market price, and then the price tripled. ”

"At that time, the price had not yet increased, so naturally it was necessary to sell it at the market price, is there anything wrong?" he began to quibble.

Ye Yunyang still didn't entangle with it, and immediately asked again: "Was the grain paid off at the time, or was it given afterwards?"

Shang Shu was stunned for a moment, and stammered: "It was at that time...... No, it's an afterthought...... It's not, it's ......"

The prince said sharply: "Hubu Shangshu, when did the money for the sale of grain arrive? You better not lie, this prince will let people check your accounts!"

The old man was frightened, knelt down directly, and said, "The payment was not settled on the spot, but only in the past few days!"

The emperor's face became even more ugly, it was obvious that this was a white wolf with empty gloves, first using a piece of paper to change the grain in the warehouse, then selling it at a higher price, and finally paying the grain according to the price before the price increase, just changing hands, and earning at least twice the difference!

It's already too much to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and they actually steal chickens to lay eggs!

Ye Yunyang said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you can let the household department Shangshu obediently cooperate, I am afraid that few people can do such a big thing, right? ”

Huo Hong added: "The price hike of food is only one of them, and the prices of daily necessities such as salt and oil are also firmly controlled by them, and the people are miserable. ”

The emperor turned his head and glared at Zhang Ziping and others: "Is this true?"

A few people were frightened, but all of them denied it.

The crown prince hugged his fist at the emperor and said: "Father, if you want to find out the truth of this matter, it is actually very simple, you only need to order the grain merchants and salt merchants in the city to be controlled, and then strictly interrogated, you will definitely be able to find the people behind their scenes." ”

The emperor nodded: "What the crown prince said is very true, order the patrol team to control these people immediately!"

"Yes!"

All the people of the Li Party were terrified, Li Fuchen was dead, they were tantamount to losing their backbone, and those hidden secrets would definitely be revealed.

Some people couldn't bear the fear, and directly rolled their eyes and fainted to the ground.

Seeing this, the emperor snorted coldly: "Sure enough, there is a cat! Prince, you immediately start to investigate the officials of Li Fuchen and his party, but do not let go of anyone who has any collusion with him." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled, and Huo Hong and Qin Wei let out a sigh of relief.
