"Your Highness, after all, Du Xian is a court official. The Minister of Dali Temple will also have many concerns. I'm afraid it will be difficult to directly sentence him to death. I wonder if your Highness has any advice?"
Ye Tian directly picked up his dagger and handed it to Mo Wuji.
"You give this sword to the Minister of Dali Temple and tell him that this is the sword that the king carries with him. It is not a sword from above, but it is enough for him to kill the traitorous minister!"
Mo Wuji took Ye Tian's dagger with a somewhat excited and emotional expression.
This is not just a short sword, but represents Ye Tian's absolute support for Dali Temple Qing. With this support, Dali Temple Qing can let go and bring Du Xian to justice.
He raised his head, looked at Ye Tian, and said: "Your Highness, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter!"
Ye Tian nodded and said nothing more.
Mo Wuji also quickly left to deal with the matter.
Although Ye Tian took action against Wu Xing Qi Wang, these people could not be suppressed so easily.
The influence of the Five Surnames and Qiwang in the court is also intricate, and many people are inextricably related to them.
Therefore, this matter needs to be considered in the long term and cannot be rushed.
Ye Tian was sitting in the main hall, holding a book in his hand, but his mind was already far away.
Families such as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have become deeply entrenched in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is not easy to uproot them.
As long as he works step by step, he will definitely be able to get rid of all these people.
"Your Highness."
At this time, a guard came in from outside the door to announce.
"What's the matter?" Ye Tian put down the book in his hand and asked the guard who came in to report.
The guard reported in a low voice.
"Reporting to His Highness King Yan, Yi Xiang asked for a meeting outside. He said he wanted to have a good chat with His Highness and also sent a heavy gift to His Highness."
After hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel funny.
Just when he was about to attack Qi Wang of the Five Surnames, Prime Minister Yi caught wind of the situation and was ready to intercede on their behalf.
But since I brought a gift, it wouldn't be appropriate to not see him, so I should at least accept the things first.
Ye Tian is not a greedy person, but he feels that the enemy's things will not be taken away in vain.
He then told the guard.
"Master Yi Xiang is here. How can you keep people waiting outside for so long? Why don't you hurry up and invite him into the mansion? It is the rule of the mansion to serve tea. How can you neglect it casually?"
After hearing Ye Tian's instructions, the guard handed over his hands and retreated.
After a while, Yi Xiang walked into the inner hall.
He first greeted Ye Tian, then sat opposite Ye Tian and presented a gift list.
"What does this mean?"
Ye Tian picked up the gift list and took a look at it, and couldn't help but frown.
The things written on this gift list are not gold, silver and jewelry, but the land deeds and farmsteads of the five surnames and Qiwang families.
Counting these, there are almost one hundred thousand taels of silver.
For these aristocratic families, it is indeed easy to spend so much money to bribe someone.
But the question is, have they ever thought about whether they are willing to accept this favor?
"Your Highness King Yan, this is the money that the seven of our families have collected together. I want to give it to His Highness, and I hope His Highness will accept it."
When Yi Xiang saw Ye Tian frowning, he knew what he was thinking.
He held up his hands and said.
"I know that His Highness is in need of money. Although my Yi family is not talented, we can still get some money. As long as His Highness can be noble and let the seven of us go, these silver coins can be regarded as a meeting gift for His Highness."
Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
He shook his head and said.
"Lord Yi Xiang is so generous. The greeting gift is so generous. However, it is useless for me to want this money. You should take it back."
"Your Highness, are you not going to let us go?" After Yi Xiang heard Ye Tian's words, his expression suddenly changed.
Ye Tian looked at the other party's uncertain expression and couldn't help but smile slightly.
he said.
"This king always deals with the situation and the person. You seven families have been domineering in the Great Zhou for so many years. Now it's time for you to have a taste of this iron fist."
Yi Xiang's face suddenly turned ugly.
He didn't expect Ye Tian to be completely ungrateful and reject his overtures so bluntly.
However, he did not turn his face directly, but said with his hands in hand.
"Does His Highness mean that this matter has been finalized and there is no need to discuss it?"
Ye Tian smiled slightly and said.
"Xiang Yi wants to save his face. There is still room for discussion on this matter. It just depends on whether the seven of you are willing to pay the corresponding price."
Yi Xiang's brows suddenly wrinkled.
He couldn't help but secretly cursed Niang Xipi before speaking.
"Please give me some advice, Your Highness."
Ye Tian glanced at the other party, and then said slowly.
"I don't want to embarrass you seven families too much, so I will give you a way to get the best of both worlds. I will not accept any of the properties of your seven families in Dazhou, as long as you extend your hands to Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang. .”
"Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang?"
Yi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively.
"Your Highness, you mean to let the seven of us reach out to Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang to fight for territory?"
Ye Tian nodded and said.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has been at peace for many years. It is no longer easy to find another fertile land. But Western Chu is different from Southern Xinjiang. There are still large tracts of uncultivated land there. It is really fertile land for thousands of miles."
Yi Xiang couldn't help but sneered when he heard this.
He looked at Ye Tian, cupped his hands and said.
"Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang are indeed fertile lands for thousands of miles, but there are also dragons and snakes mixed there, which are extremely dangerous. Although His Highness is a divine general, he wants to force the seven families of us to Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang. I'm afraid it is too powerful. Maybe he hasn’t been arrested yet.”
Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
He shook his head and said.
"Does Prime Minister Yi think that this king wants to use the Tiance Divine Army? What a joke."
"Then how will His Highness ensure that we can safely transition to Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang?" Yi Xiang looked at Ye Tian and asked in a deep voice.
"Although I am not completely sure, I have an 80% chance of winning."
Ye Tian said calmly.
"As long as you act according to my wishes, I will ensure that your seven families can gain a firm foothold in Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang, and even reproduce the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Yi Xiang said nothing, but his eyes were already cold.
He couldn't help but secretly thought, this Ye Tian is really hateful, he actually used this method to plot against himself.
However, Yi Xiang was not an easy man. He quickly calmed down and said with his hands raised.
"Since His Highness is so sure, we seven families are naturally willing to give it a try."
"very good."
Ye Tian nodded and then said.
"I would like to give you seven families a meeting gift first."
