The Yang family was beheaded, and Yang Guifei was placed under house arrest by Liang Wendao in the cold palace.

A number of officials in the imperial court have long heard about this matter, and there is even inside information that Yang Chengde has left Beijing by fraud.

The officials who were originally standing in the same team with Yang Chengde were all silent at this time, not daring to completely draw a line with Yang Chengde, but also afraid of angering Liang Wenwen.

However, with the fall of Yang Chengde, the military generals group, which had been suppressed everywhere, finally had a chance to turn over at this time.

The military general group headed by Wu Zhongyun began to vigorously purge the Qing Dynasty and prepare for the next big war.

In the early morning of this day, Liang Wendao was still sitting on the dragon chair with a big grin.

The originally arrogant and domineering civil officials all kept their heads low, for fear that the emperor, whose personality had suddenly changed, would notice them.

As for Wu Zhongyun, he stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, now that the army has been purged, you can conquer the Xiongnu at any time, but the food problem has not yet been solved, please make a decision yourself!" ”

Liang asked, Wen Yan stroked his chin: "Where is the book of the household?" ”

"The minister is here!"

Hearing Liang's call, Geng Bingwen, the head of the household, hurriedly stood up.

Liang asked without talking nonsense with him, and asked bluntly: "Now that the imperial court is about to go on a campaign, how much food and salary can be allocated to the household department?" ”

Hearing this, Geng Bingwen's face couldn't help but change suddenly.

It's not that there are no silver taels to be used in the household, but that all these silver taels were accumulated by Yang Chengde at the beginning.

Now that Yang Chengde has left Beijing, his life and death are unknown, this amount of money still can't be acted rashly now.

This prime minister has great power, and who knows when he will make a comeback.

Thinking of this, Geng Bingwen had the courage to say: "Back to Your Majesty, the household department now has a total of two or three million taels of silver, but these silver taels are all left by the criminal minister Yang Chengde during his lifetime, and now they should be regarded as stolen money, Weichen wants to temporarily seal these silver taels, trace back to the original and restore them, and then dispose of them separately when they find out the way they came!" ”

Geng Bingwen has been an official for many years and knows the importance of leaving a way back for himself.

It's a pity that Liang Qiandao saw the calculation in his heart at a glance!

Hearing Geng Bingwen's answer, a sneer appeared on Liang Wenwen's face: "Lord Geng's answer is really leaky, go back to the original and dispose of it separately." ”

"Is your household department going to seal this silver until Yang Chengde's corpse is returned to Yang, so that he can ask for merit in front of him?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged, these silver are all the proceeds of Yang Chengde's looting of the people's fat and people's ointment, according to the laws of Taizu, the income of officials from bribery should be returned to the people, and then the officials involved will be issued separately!"

Looking at Geng Bingwen who was kneeling on the ground, the other officials all cast sympathetic glances at him.

Now that the imperial court is about to go on an expedition, even Yang Chengde, who is in power and the opposition, has ended up with a full house because of this matter.

Sure enough, after hearing the four words of Taizu's law, Liang Wenwen became even more annoyed: "During the period when Taizu formulated the law, the state was initially decided, and the officials levied taxes arbitrarily, so they ordered the issuance of this law. ”

"Now that the Great Liang has been founded for 300 years, how can such a situation happen? Now that the imperial court is about to use troops, you actually want to seal the military salary and delay the warplane, Geng Bingwen, what is your intention? ”

Geng Bingwen only felt a chill down his spine at this time, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Come on, take Geng Bingwen's official uniform, strip him of his official title, scold him with eighty rods, and put him into a lowly status to make an example!"

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

The rod is eighty, which clearly shows that he wants Geng Bingwen's life, and as for being a lowly member, it is nothing more than a pretext.

Geng Bingwen knelt on the ground and kowtowed, like pounding garlic, and pleaded in his mouth: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life, Weichen has followed the emperor for many years, and he has no merit and hard work, and please ask Your Majesty to spare the ministers for the sake of the first emperor!" ”

"Well, you are an old minister of the two dynasties, I should indeed think about it carefully......"

Geng Bingwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but who knew that in the next second, Liang asked and suddenly said: "Geng Bingwen, as an old minister of the first emperor, does not want to serve the country, but is obsessed with party disputes. ”

"Order Geng Bingwen to be sentenced to beheading, raze his three clans, and confiscate all his family property!"

Speaking of this, Liang Wenwen smiled coldly: "Lord Geng, are you satisfied now?" ”
