Chapter 549: Purging the Interior
To his death, Yang Yi didn't say a word, and was finally killed by Wei Yan in the lobby.
However, this also confirms that Yang Yi is really loyal to Zhuge Liang. Such a big enemy appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yang Yi was stunned and didn't receive any letter.
Obviously, the Prime Minister's Mansion was listed as a forbidden area for exploration, and there was no knowledge of what was going on inside it.
But in any case, Yang Yi committed the crime of rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, and it is natural that he should be killed on the spot. Then Wei Yan put down his weapon and asked Zhuge Liang to ask for guilt, but Zhuge Liang waved his hand and stopped him.
"It is impossible for Yang Yi to complete such a professional assassination alone, and the Military Department must have many of his henchmen. Young Chang, you take someone to the Military Council Division to investigate and solve its remnants as soon as possible. ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, sighed tiredly, and looked a little older.
"I'm old, so I won't be involved in these things, and you'll be in charge."
Obviously, the betrayal of his beloved talent was a big blow to Zhuge Liang. Yang Yi's betrayal was a blow to Zhuge Liang, even no less than the defeat of Ma Tan Street Pavilion in history.
However, Zhuge Liang was not in a very good mood at the moment, so he just shook his head lightly and did not speak.
"You take good care of your body, and you will definitely see the unification of the Han Dynasty!"
You must know that this matter is equivalent to directly assassinating Zhuge Liang in Ji Han, how can Liu Chan not be crazy.
"Wen Wei, isn't this a guarantee for your safety. Otherwise, if it were in your case, I am afraid that it would be easier to be assassinated than me, right? Ma Jian didn't care about Fei Yi's anger, but was a little happy.
Fortunately, the system reformed by Ma Tan has already achieved miraculous results. Many complicated and cumbersome official departments can be digested by themselves, and Shangshutai is also a lot free.
Especially in Ma Tan's battles on the battlefield in the past, rumors began to spread every time he fought halfway through the opponent. After checking the archives of the Military Division, Ma Jian found that this was also the handwriting of Yang Yi himself.
After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the entire Chang'an began a large-scale purge operation.
So, after going to the top of Shangshutai, the Prime Minister's Mansion calmed down for a short time, and Zhuge Liang was able to recuperate for a wave of body and mind.
"Oh? Did Shang Shutai finally free his hands? Ma Yan's eyes lit up suddenly.
…………
But in the end, Ma Tan himself stood up and persuaded everyone.
In addition, Ma Jian also hoped to set a precedent and encourage more enemies to assassinate him, so he made the decision to let Yang Yi's family go.
"That's it, although Yang Yi is a bastard, he still has credit for the big man. His family will not be implicated, and it will be good to kill Yang Yi alone. Ma Jian calmly persuaded and tried his best to let Yang Yi's wife and child go.
Wei Yan was almost incomprehensible about this, he tugged at Ma Yan's collar and asked in disbelief,
"Jiang Wan knows that you plan to recover the state as soon as possible, so let me bring you the financial files directly."
Just kidding, that's what Lao Tzu did for this purpose. Otherwise, it really scared everyone, who would assassinate him in the future?
To die, do you understand!
In the end, under Ma Tan's full persuasion, Liu Chan could only reluctantly tear up the edict that was sent out immediately. Yang Yi himself was killed, but all his clansmen were reduced to commoners, and there was no career in this life, but his life was saved.
Even Fei Yi, who has always been arrogant, was forced to add more than a dozen guards to ensure safety, and Fei Yi has been complaining to Ma Jian about this matter.
"Yang Yi is executed today, and the crime of all Liang is also ......"
…………
"Are you in the wrong head? You're setting a precedent for your assassins! Aren't you afraid that there will be an endless stream of assassins in the future? ”
Zhuge Liang is right, although Yang Yi is very talented, such a big crime is not something he can accomplish alone. There are also a few of his comrades in the court, and the Military Council Department is a large number of his henchmen.
So although he is very worthy of hatred, his contribution still needs to be recognized. What's more, Ma Jian can also see that Zhuge Liang is very nostalgic for the old love, so the Tu San clan is unnecessary in Ma Tan's opinion.
As for Yang Yi's family, Wei Yan planned to send them all to see Yang Yi and directly destroy his three clans. The same is true of the attitude in this palace, and Liu Chan even supports this matter in public.
"Young Chang, your assassination like this will affect all of us. You see, now I don't even have a chance to go out drinking on my own! Fei Yi said angrily to Ma Yan, pointing to several heavily armed guards who were closely following him, and was a little speechless for a while.
This time Ma Jian was assassinated, and it was Zhuge Liang who was the most injured. His cronies who had picked up his hand had assassinated his beloved disciple, and no one could stand it.
Ma Jian quickly led his troops into the Military Division, and took over all the power and files of Yang Yi as quickly as possible. Later, in the process of purging, they soon found several dead soldiers who committed suicide by poisoning.
There was no way, Ma Jian could only quietly leave the Prime Minister's Mansion with his hands. And Zhuge Liang saw the little blood still sprinkled on the ground, and whispered softly,
If Yang Yi's case can bring such a good impact this time, it is to improve the public security of Chang'an by a large margin, and all officials, big and small, without exception, are uniformly equipped with bodyguards.
At least for Fei Yi, it should not be possible to be assassinated like in history.
They were the assassins who had not been found for more than 20 days, they were all dead soldiers of Yang Yi himself, and he did not dare to throw them out as outcasts.
But even so, there is also a situation where Ma Tan sympathizes with Yang Yi a little. After all, this master's contribution is also obvious to all, if it weren't for him, there would have been a lot more people who assassinated Ma Jian in recent years.
"Come on, don't talk about these things, Gongyan asked me to give this to you." Fei Yi waved his hand angrily, took out a letter directly from his arms, and threw it to Ma Yan.
"Who is out of this, Xiangguo Qi Yanzi."
…………
In the following days, throughout Chang'an City, the northern and southern armies began to arrest people on a large scale. Liu Chan gave the highest order to this, and all those involved in this matter were killed.
The Yang Yi case, which shook the Han government and the opposition, lasted for several months, but very few people were implicated. It was not until the new chief of the military council took office that this major case was basically over.
"Prime Minister, what you said, you have no problem living for a few more decades!" Ma Tan didn't know what to say, so he could only say two good words carefully.
"Once slandered, two peaches kill three soldiers!"
"But the ugly words are ahead, after you make such a fuss, Shang Shutai can't afford to pay even more money. Take a look at this for yourself, most of the money and food, I guess you have to find a way to raise it yourself! ”
"It's different!" Ma Jian shook his head and said stubbornly.
Regarding the war against Hedong and Bingzhou, he had been planning for a long time. As a result, because of the reform of the official system and the problems of Yang Yi's case, it was delayed for nearly a year.
Now, at last, he had a chance to look to the east again.
