Chapter Ninety-Six: Acting on the Spot
Ye Yu was really sleepy, and after Zhang Ye was ordered to leave, he was groggy and didn't know how long he slept.
After sleeping until dawn, he finally rested the fatigue accumulated in the past few days.
At this moment, Ye Yu was a little sore all over his body, which was accumulated from sitting for a long time.
But at this time, I still can't relax.
Danger can happen at any time, and he must be one step ahead of disaster.
Relieved, he picked up the booklet that Zhang Ye had sent him last night.
Here is the list of officials.
It records a lot of officials who disobeyed the yang and took the money secretly.
However, these are all high-level officials, and there are fewer people on the list than civil and military officials.
This at least proves that the upper beam is positive, and the lower beam is basically not crooked.
With Zhao Wanlong and Zhou Hao taking the lead, among these officials who can go to the palace, there are not a few who do things seriously.
At least, this is something that can make Ye Yu feel a little relieved.
In the description of the situation of these officials, Ye Yu found that most of these corrupt officials were people who had relied on the princes.
His younger brothers have been doing evil for so many years, and they have indeed accumulated a lot of evil consequences for the Southern Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness, is it going to court today?"
The eunuch outside the door saw that Ye Yu had woken up, so he stepped forward.
"Up!"
Ye Yu nodded, and contacted Zhang Ye through his henchmen who were pretending to be eunuchs.
"Your Highness, the minister is here."
It didn't take long for Zhang Ye to secretly come to Ye Yu's bedroom.
At this time, Ye Yu was changing clothes and preparing for the morning court.
"Today, I'm going to demote you to a commoner, remember, your mission is important!"
"Especially if you can't expose it, let alone say that I was sent by you, you have to be careful about everything."
Ye Yu changed his clothes and waved his sleeves, "When the matter is over, there will naturally be no fewer officials and knights." But I know you're not unaware. ”
"Your Highness is right!"
Zhang Ye nodded and said, "But those natives, unlike others, are like ministers, and ministers still need some money to help." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, all the money, the ministers will go in and out of the details!"
Before Ye Yu could speak, he added.
"I believe in you."
Ye Yu nodded, "I will arrange a money bank for you, you are the shopkeeper, in and out, I will come to see it every month, you can also take some yourself, but it must be recorded." ”
"The minister understands!"
On the way back, Ye Yu has made Zhangye have "faith" through "excellent" ideological work.
Whether it's painting cakes or other reasoning, lay out the facts.
Zhang Ye already knew the grand goal in Ye Yu's mind.
He firmly believes that the so-called people in the mouth of the ancients live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has money and work, and they can realize their ideal world, and under Ye Yu's various measures in the future, it will definitely be realized!
In the early dynasty, Ye Yu walked into the court.
The civil and military officials all looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
Although he did not succeed to the throne, in the eyes of most people, Ye Yu was already the new king of Zhennan.
And Concubine Guo entered the cold palace, Ye Yu did not do anything, and still let her have enough to eat, drink and have fun.
It's just that since she entered the cold palace, she has lost the right to participate in any political affairs in the palace.
"Is there anything going on today? Prelude up. ”
Although Ye Yu looked like he was sitting upright, and his expression jumped up, he looked a little like a prince, but there was still a bit of naughtiness in his tone.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qizuo, heavy rain and landslides have occurred overnight in the Xishan Prefecture area, and many counties have been damaged."
A minister stepped forward to play.
"Well, order local disaster relief."
Ye Yu nodded, it's just a natural disaster, it's not a big deal.
"However, Your Highness, the counties and counties of Xishan Prefecture have no inventory, and the stock is insufficient, so it is really difficult to provide disaster relief."
The minister said and touched the sweat on his forehead.
"Where did all the money and food go?"
Ye Yu spoke slowly, his brows furrowed slightly, "I remember, all states and counties are allowed to hoard a certain amount of grain and silver, right?" ”
"Minister...... Ignorance. ”
"It is said that it is the local people who are rude and refuse to pay taxes that has led to this situation."
The minister only reported the situation, but he really did not know about it personally.
He didn't dare to understand.
Because behind the state pastor of Xishan Prefecture is a former prince.
By helping the prince to do evil, he also hoarded a lot of his own power.
Even if the prince is now demoted to a commoner by Ye Yu one by one, he can still get away with it!
"I see, it's not your fault. But these things will have to be reported truthfully in the future. ”
Ye Yu nodded, "You're not wrong. ”
Hearing this, the minister slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, after the ministers reported some recent situations, Ye Yu raised his hand and said that the court should be quiet.
"Bring it on!"
With a scolding, Zhang Ye was escorted up by handcuffs and shackles.
"Sinner Zhang Ye, see Your Highness."
Zhang Ye knelt down.
"Zhang Ye, you left the deserted city without permission, and you should be beheaded by military law!"
Ye Yu's brows were furrowed, and his face looked quite angry.
"But, I read that you escorted me all the way back to the capital, demoted you to a commoner, and confiscated your family property."
After that, many people began to intercede for Zhang Ye.
At all, Zhang Ye can be regarded as a general, so rashly degraded to the common people, I am afraid it is inappropriate.
"Your Highness, Zhang Ye didn't listen to the order and came out privately, and he really needs to be dealt with by military law."
Yang Jiang couldn't stand it and said, "But is this a bit too much?" ”
"You're teaching me to do things?"
Ye Yu opened his mouth coldly, and then sighed, "Forget it, the family property will not be confiscated, and it will be demoted to a common person, and if there is a war in the future, it will be hired." ”
After that, Zhang Ye knelt down and thanked him, and was escorted down.
This scene is not well acted in Ye Yu's opinion.
However, because the ministers didn't know about the rebellion at that time, and they didn't know that Zhang Ye rescued the driver, they only felt that Zhang Ye came back privately and was at fault first.
At most, I feel that Ye Yu's sentence is a bit harsh.
But all this is completely different in Yang Jiang's eyes.
On the way back, he, like Zhang Ye, listened to Ye Yu's narration and felt that Ye Yu was a great gentleman.
This scene had a great impact on him, and he planned to ask for a meeting after retiring from the court.
"Otherwise, do whatever you have to do. If there is any urgency, after reporting it, enter the palace. I can talk to you one by one. ”
Before retreating from the dynasty, Ye Yu put down his words, and then deliberately glanced at Yang Jiang.
It seems that these words are telling him!
Yang Jiang secretly wrote it down in his heart.
Soon, after retiring from the court, he asked for a meeting outside the palace gate as quickly as possible.
"I knew you were coming."
Ye Yu smiled and looked at Yang Jiang being led by the eunuch to the study, "Sit." ”
"Your Highness, I don't understand, before I came back, General Zhang and I had heard about your ambitions, your thoughts, and your ......"
Yang Jiang frowned, a little angry, a little indignant, and even a little disrespectful to Ye Yu.
