Chapter 8 Rectifying the Chaogang
After a punishment, Yue Fei not only obeyed the 20,000 soldiers present, but even Xiao Yunjing and Li Changcheng were convinced by Yue Fei!
As for Zhou Yu who was secretly peeking at him, he was also ashamed of himself!
The twenty military sticks were beaten under the noses of everyone, without any fraud, and a real military stick!
Zhou Yu walked over with big strodes, looked at Yue Fei, and bowed: "General Yue, Zhou Yu is ordered by the prince to help you defeat the enemy!"
Yue Fei's eyes glanced around Zhou Yu's body and said softly: "General Zhou!"
"I dare not take it!"
Zhou Yu had a humble smile on his face, and looked at the soldiers in front of him, exclaiming: "I am worthy of being my Jingguo soldiers, so majestic!"
...
After reviewing the troops, the two entered the account to discuss the issue of sending troops. In the palace, Changsun Wuji also hurriedly came back to report, and all the officials of the six ministries felt waiting outside the hall!
"Prince, the food and grass for the 30,000 army has been prepared. The treasury of our Qi Prince's Mansion plus some remnants of the national treasury is enough to support the rations for the 30,000 army for half a month!"
Lin Yan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Has the treasury been hollowed out?"
"It's almost done!"
Changsun Wuji sighed: "The most ridiculous thing is that the surplus grain in the national treasury is less than 50,000 stones!"
Lin Yan's lips turned cold and he said lightly: "Don't worry, there will be surprises!"
"Send the officials of the six ministries to come in!"
The father-in-law walked out quickly, and with a message, he immediately saw figures coming in. After seeing Lin Yan, he saluted Lin Yan respectfully!
"See Your Highness King Qi!"
Lin Yan waved his hand lightly and glanced around, "Don't give me a gift!"
Shen Hai stood among the few people, his face was quite complicated. In just half a day, His Highness Qi was decisive and turned the Jing'an City upside down, scouted the house and locked down the city. Now the 30,000 imperial guards of the four schools are firmly in control. Such methods are really shocking!
"I wonder what your Highness calls us to come?"
Hu Rui, the Minister of Personnel, asked softly, and Lin Yan smiled faintly: "Minister of Personnel, Minister of Personnel, Diao Bao, Minister of Revenue, Cai Chuan, Minister of Rites, Yan'an, Minister of Justice, and Minister of Works, Shan Jing, these five people intend to betray the Lord for glory, and have been killed by me. Now Mu Su should be leading people to scam their homes!"
As soon as Lin Yan opened his words, he immediately caused a stir among the few people: "What!"
"Five of the six ministers died?"
"This is this..."
"Prince, even if Your Majesty appoints you as Regent, you cannot kill the second-rank official of the dynasty at will, right?"
The Minister of Justice said angrily: "Prince, we are going to meet Your Majesty!"
Lin Yan's face was calm and she said lightly: "Your Majesty is ill. Now all matters are fully responsible for me!"
The Minister of Justice immediately sneered: "Your Majesty is ill?"
"I have never heard of your Majesty's health today. Moreover, even if Your Majesty named you the Regent, I am afraid that we would not let us meet, right?"
"And Eunuch Li, who is beside His Majesty, seems to be missing!"
"And His Highness King Qi insisted that we would not see His Majesty. Could it be that there is a ghost in his heart?"
Lin Yan's face was calm and said lightly: "So, is this lord questioning Your Majesty's will?"
"Or, I didn't take this regent seriously?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers from the West School drew their swords directly, as if Lin Yan gave the order, his head would immediately land!
Seeing this, the Minister of Justice had a hint of anger and a hint of mocking on his face, "Can you dare to cut off the official's head in front of everyone?"
"Is there any injustice in the world?"
"I am a third-rank official personally named by His Majesty!"
"The Minister of Justice defies the royal power and is killed!"
Lin Yan spoke with a plain expression, and two Western school soldiers rushed up immediately, each with a knife. The Minister of Justice fell straight to the ground, dying with his eyes open!
"hiss!"
The officials present all had a chill on their backs. Even they didn't expect that this person would dare to attack the third-rank official directly in front of him!
Chen Hai looked at the horrified gaze, his face full of wry smiles. This six ministers dared to kill five, let alone a small minister of the Ministry of Justice!
"Everyone, who has any objections?"
The other officials were silent, and Lin Yan whispered: "Since it's meaningless, I have a few things to tell you now!"
"First, you guys, from now on, will be promoted to the position of ministers of various departments. As for the Minister of War, let's replace the Minister of Justice!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was shocked and promoted to the next level?
There is a feeling of a pie hitting the head. You know, many of them have been doing this position for many years now, and it is even very likely that they will be difficult to go further in this life!
But at this moment, the official has advanced to the next level!
This level is not a simple promotion for them!
One step difference is like the world!
"Old minister, thank you, the prince!"
Hu Rui, the Minister of Personnel, knelt down directly at Lin Yan. Seeing this, the others also knelt down one after another!
Lin Yan said lightly: "Sirs, please get up!"
"However, I have an ugly saying before!"
A trace of coldness appeared in Lin Yan's eyes, and he slowly walked to the front of several people, "In recent years, if any adult had collected money that should not have been collected and silver that should not have been touched, now I can give you a chance to let you go without any blame!"
"otherwise……"
Before Lin Yan could finish his words, he saw two figures strode into the door: "Prince!"
"It's just right!" Lin Yan said with a smile: "Is the matter done?"
Mu Su and Jun looked at each other unintentionally and whispered: "It's done!"
"Tell me!"
Mu Su took a step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I will confiscate the home of Xu Changming, the Minister of Personnel. A total of more than 12,000 taels of gold, 780,000 taels of silver, and countless jewelry, calligraphy and paintings!"
"After the interrogation, it was found that most of them were bribes collected by the sales of official positions!"
"I searched the home of Diao Bao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and found more than 30,000 taels of gold, more than 1.2 million taels of silver, and 200,000 stones of grain!"
"And..." Mu Su hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Diao Bao was greedy for Mo's treasury and sold food and grass to Yongzhou privately!"
"Food and grass sold to Yongzhou?"
"That's the fief of King Jiangxia!" Lin Yan's eyes were almost narrowed into a line, and he looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and said lightly: "Do you know this?"
"The official... knows about this, but knows very little. This is because Lord Diao personally sent someone to take charge of it, so the official dare not ask about it!"
Lin Yan smiled coldly and looked at Jun Wuyi: "Where is your side?"
