"Li Linfu asked you to write this memorial, right?" Xiao Yi raised the memorial written by Yang Zhao asking for military pay.
"You are just a pawn he uses to test the bottom line and throw stones to ask for directions."
"You should have heard that Wang Hao, a corrupt official, was directly beheaded by Gu in the East Palace. You know that Gu was never afraid of Li Linfu, and he never thought about governing the country according to the rules set by the traitor."
"The chaos of the Daqian Dynasty started in this court. Above the temple, there were rotten trees serving as officials. Between the palace and the palace, animals were eating the salary. People with wolf-hearted and dog-lunged people were in power. The servile and servile disciples were in charge of the government one after another, so that the Shejiqiu Ruins , the people are in ruins! You are asking me if the sword in my hand is sharp?"
"I am the prince who oversees the country. He has the Emperor's Sword in his hand, which was given by his father. He can make decisions on all the country's military, political and civil affairs."
"The only way to solve the problem is to kill."
"Kill corrupt officials, kill corrupt officials, kill treacherous ministers, kill powerful ministers, kill sycophants, and create a bright and prosperous world."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he looked at Yang Zhao very calmly. He was calm and calm at first, but now he looked panicked.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has a bad reputation, and Wang Hao and his colleagues have learned from the past.
Xiao Yi said coldly: "Here comes someone!"
Two thousand-niu sword guards came in and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please give me your orders."
Yang Zhao was completely panicked.
His legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
"Your Highness, have mercy!"
"The humble minister is aware of his guilt and is willing to perform meritorious deeds. From now on, he will serve His Highness as a responsible person!"
"Your Highness, this matter is related to Mr. Li... Li Linfu sent someone to send a message and asked me to write a memorial and ask for military pay."
"Actually, it is to prevent Your Highness from using the money for disaster relief in Longyou Road, so that Longyou Road will continue to be in chaos."
"At the same time, you can also get a sum of money and use the money from the Xue family and the Jia family for your own use!"
"Your Highness..."
Xiao Yi slapped the table with one hand, "Bang."
Interrupting what Yang Zhao was going to say next.
He said these words as fast as he could in his life, fearing that if he took a step too slow, his head would fall to the ground.
At the same time, we must ensure that the words are spoken clearly so that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot hear clearly.
Xiao Yi waved his hand and told the two Thousand Niu Sword Guards to retreat.
Yang Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would demote himself at most, but unexpectedly, he still had murderous intentions.
But thinking about His Highness the Crown Prince's words, I also had a deafening feeling.
On top of a temple, rotten trees serve as officials, and between the palace and the palace, animals and beasts eat their salary, and people with wolf-hearted and dog-like lungs are in power. The servile and servile people have been adhering to the government one after another, causing the people of Shejiqiu Ruins to be devastated!
Yang Zhao was also a person who liked flattery and did many corrupt and perverted things for the sake of his official career.
After all, the current atmosphere in the Daqian court is like this. If he didn't join the trend, how did he get into Li Linfu's eyes, and how did he get his current position as Minister of the Ministry of War?
The more such a person is, the more extremely smart he is, understanding the ways of the world and the general trend.
This is why, when Li Linfu asked him to write such a memorial, Yang Zhao did not hesitate.
Because he knew that he was a chess piece in Li Linfu's hands and would be used sooner or later.
If His Highness the Crown Prince was powerless, he would not worry about becoming Li Linfu's pawn. He might be able to follow the dragon in the future.
However, this Crown Prince is not the cowardly and incompetent Crown Prince before. He is hiding his clumsiness and deceiving everyone.
Now that he has the power to supervise the country, he is like the second current majesty.
Among the vassal kings, he fought a bloody path.
Xiao Yi said slowly: "This is Yang Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of War. He does not abide by his duties as an official, is not strict with his subordinates, and lies about his military salary. He is not qualified for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War!"
"Demoted to the rank of doctor in the Treasury to serve as a warning to others."
"how do you feel?"
Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment.
He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."
After saying that, he deeply admired Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi said: "Li Linfu wants the money in Gu's hands, but Gu naturally won't give it to him. Military pay, wages, etc. are all part of his scheme."
"Some of these debts do exist, and some are just empty accounts."
"You said you wanted to make meritorious deeds, so I'll give you a chance."
"Check Cai Jin."
Participate in political affairs and belong to one of the powerful people in the political hall.
In addition to Prime Minister Li Linfu, Cai Jin, the counselor and political advisor, was very powerful.
Xiao Yi cannot directly touch Li Linfu now because he still has a Longwu Army in his hand, which he also discovered through this incident.
As one of the top three armies, the Longwu Army is quite powerful.
Yueshan is old.
After the Long Wei Army retreated to seclusion in Yue Mountain, they had no more military exploits. Now Yue Hongling has just led the army for the first time.
His reputation, experience, qualifications, etc. are all inferior to Shi Siming's.
In addition, after Li Linfu took control of the court, Shi Siming may not be the only general who chose to bow to the prime minister.
Thinking about it now, the murderous intention against Li Linfu in the East Palace was still a bit impulsive.
Li Linfu couldn't be moved.
Then use his right and left arms to slowly break the network of relationships he has spun.
Yang Zhao quickly cupped his hands and said, "Here."
Xiao Yi continued: "The reason why you were demoted is because you were already at fault, and Gu is a person who can't tolerate dirt in his eyes. If I don't kill you, I won't demote you either. Li Linfu will definitely be suspicious."
"And Gu directly demoted you, you can complain to Li Linfu."
"In this case, you will hate Gu for being demoted. Li Linfu will definitely think of this and continue to reuse you."
"I'm waiting for your good news."
"Behave well and satisfy me. I will benefit from you in the future."
Yang Zhao replied: "I understand, I would like to thank Your Highness for your magnanimity. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned to you by Your Highness. From now on, I will never have second thoughts!"
Xiao Yi shouted again: "Come here, ask Huaiji to come and see Gu!"
The guard outside strode in, bowed and said, "Here."
Then he bowed and exited.
Just a moment.
Huaiji walked in.
Yang Zhao was already slumped on the ground, his eyes were lifeless, and he looked lost.
Xiao Yi handed the document in his hand to Huaiji and said, "Go to the Political Affairs Hall and give it to Cai Shenzheng."
As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, Xiao Yi actually already has an idea.
Yang Zhao is available.
But his position is crucial. If Xiao Yi wants to further control the empire's military power, he must find a way to replace the Minister of War.
In court battles, not all matters can be resolved solely by killing. He said that killing a million people will lead to a hero among the heroes.
But it's not really necessary to kill all the officials above the court and replace them directly.
That's unlikely.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
He is the crown prince of the Grand Supervisory Office. As a superior, the important thing is the art of balance, not killing all the corrupt officials so that all the officials in the court will be loyal.
Where do so many loyal ministers come from in this world?
Besides, being loyal ministers is not a good thing for him.
In the original history, Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with searching for immortals every day. Didn't he still manage the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner and look like a prosperous age?
After suppressing his chaotic thoughts for the time being, Xiao Yi began to think about what to do next.
This is called reciprocity!
