Once he went to Ao Mansion, the four million taels of silver in Ye Chen's hand shrank by 50%.
The Qing court's tax for one year, after excluding expenses, left more than five million taels of silver. Two million taels was equivalent to 40% of the treasury silver of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even Ao Bai couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw so much silver. fluctuation,.
Since he gained power, King Pingxi¡¯s annual tribute was only one million taels, but this time, what was presented from Ye Chen¡¯s hand was two million taels.
Therefore, Ao Bai swallowed the words that came to his lips.
What Shou Min reported to him was that Ye Chen had robbed the nine carts of gifts, plus a wad of silver notes found on Lu Yifeng's body. The specific amount was unknown, but he didn't know.
Therefore, these two million taels are enough to make him turn a blind eye!
¡¡
The day when the government of the same dynasty was being discussed was approaching day by day. Ye Chen was just diligently practicing his internal martial arts, controlling his blood and energy, and condensing his mind. As for the three red-browed men, he imprisoned them in three secret rooms respectively, and only ordered Keerle to eat three meals a day. Serve on earth,
The talisman of life and death in his body was like a gangrene attached to the bone. It could not be driven away no matter how hard it was. If he slacked off a little, it would spread again. Just when he was hesitating whether to let the white-browed man take action, things took a turn for the better.
Near the lower abdomen and perineum, the nerves and muscles are sensitive and fragile, but the blood is strong and domineering. If he is not careful, he will be injured. He was worried about how to break the blockage before. Maybe there is no other way but to use water to grind it. Work hard, get through it bit by bit,
However, after the ice energy formed by the life and death talisman is solidified, and the blood energy circulates, it will be weakened by a lot of sharp energy, gradually eroding those obscure places,
Three days later, Ye Chen finally opened up all the places in the lower abdomen and perineum. In this way, even the most fragile parts of the human body were filled with blood and energy. With a whip, both light and dark energy exploded, and the hard bed board was torn open with a half-foot-long path. An inch deep scratch,
With this breakthrough in cultivation, a mysterious feeling of control arose in Ye Chen's body. With his thoughts in mind, the ice energy entrenched in his lower abdomen melted instantly like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
At this moment, the dark energy all over his body is flowing smoothly. Once he breaks through all the obscurities in his head and unites his heart and mind, and with the Ding Yuan Gong's method of tempering blood energy, he can truly control his blood energy and become the protector of Neijiaquan. The body is really strong,
Ye Chen's cultivation at this moment is only half a step away from reaching the level of An Jin. A palm force has a force of 1,600 kilograms. He moves and dodges, and he takes eighteen steps. Once his blood energy breaks out, he uses a body technique that is as powerful as a tiger's. There are twenty-four steps in one sweep, but in this case, the agility will be somewhat lacking.
An adult man takes three steps to two meters, and eighteen steps equals twelve meters. When walking, sitting, or lying down, Ye Chen can kill someone within twelve meters.
Such power makes people tremble just thinking about it!
¡¡
The next morning, as soon as Ye Chen finished a set of crane-shaped fists, deputy commander Shou Min rushed into the backyard.
"Sir, something happened!"
"What's the matter!" Ye Chen closed his fists and silenced the surging blood energy.
"Among the officials from various places who came to Beijing to report on their duties, many governors and generals were ambushed on the road, and many were injured. The governor of Henan, the governor of Huguang, and General Ningyuan who was stationed in Miyun were even killed on the spot. The Lord of Zhongtang ordered that you go to the mansion early in the morning to discuss matters. !¡±
"Who did this?" Ye Chen asked,
"They are rebels from the Tiandihui. When they attack, they shout, 'Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty'!" Shou Min replied,
"I understand, you go down first!" Ye Chen walked into the room with a sullen face as he had some thoughts in his mind. After a while, after washing and changing clothes, he walked out of the backyard.
¡¡
After the morning meeting, nine ministers wearing first- and second-grade official uniforms gathered in the study room of Ao Mansion. They all looked solemn. They were the confidants of Ao Bai¡¯s capital group. The only thing missing was the admiral of the Xishan Camp.
After looking around vaguely, Obai said in a low voice, "Everyone, the rebels of the Tiandihui were so audacious that they dared to ambush important officials of the imperial court, resulting in the death of three officials. These three people are not only the heroes of Sheji, but also the heroes of Sheji. They are our brothers, and we must avenge this hatred!"
"good!"
The commander of Zhenghuang Banner said, "Kill all those bandits and avenge the three brothers!"
"Brother, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. How can those rebels be so well-informed?" Mulima was silent for a while and said, "One or two are enough, but this time there are twenty or thirty! Moreover, I think This is just the beginning, someone else will get into trouble later!¡±
Obai said, "You mean that someone leaked the route and time of officials' entry into Beijing!"
Mulima said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out! For the current plan, one is to send someone to respond, and the other is to scare Xiaoxiao!"
"Not bad!" A rich girlThe deputy general of the camp nodded and said, "Master Zhongtang, please speak, and I will send troops to arrest those rebels!"
"Eguza, what do you think?" After pondering for a while, Aobai looked at Ye Chen, who was at the bottom on the left,
"I dare to ask, sir, who got the greatest benefit from this incident!"
Ye Chen doesn¡¯t make too many twists and turns. His intention is to temper his blood, not to scheming, so his strategies have always been simple and clear, going straight to the point, with a hint of conspiracy.
"Who has the greatest interests?" Ao Bai pondered intently. After a while, his face darkened.
"It's Kangxi!" Mulima said first,
"That's right," Ye Chen nodded, "After the governors from various places enter the capital, your power will be far greater than that of Kangxi. This time of discussing politics with the same dynasty has become Kangxi's nightmare!"
"The only solution for now is to burn the boat. Once one of your lord's confidants is killed or injured, the power will be weakened. This vacant seat is enough to make people covet. Who will go to arrest the real culprit at that time? I'm afraid everyone will be busy fighting for power. Manipulating personnel matters!¡±
Ye Chen changed the subject and said, "Tiandihui is usually bold, but if Chen Jinnan dares to ambush court officials this way, Zheng Jing will not agree!"
"What's more, General Ningyuan has 20,000 soldiers under his command, and the soldiers around him are all elites selected from among them. There are masters of the Tiandihui, but when it comes to marching and fighting, they are mostly just a mob, how can they succeed!"
Ao Bai shouted angrily, with a look of evil on his face, "The way of the emperor is to be fair and upright, as vast as the scorching sun, yet he actually sent people to assassinate his own ministers. Such devious methods really disgrace our ancestors of the Qing Dynasty." !¡±
"Is this still the emperor?"
"The real Dragon Emperor is like a snake in a ditch, not even a python!"
For a moment, the nine ministers looked indignant. The remaining traces of their loyalty as monarchs and ministers were finally polished off, and they no longer had any scruples in their words.
¡°I¡¯ll have a good fight with Kangxi and let him know what it means to shake a tree from a fly to a tree and not to overestimate one¡¯s own abilities!¡±
"Please give me a speech, Master Zhongtang!"
¡¡
After the discussion, everyone left Ao Mansion one after another and returned to their respective yamen for deployment.
"Commander Hubei, please stay!"
Ye Chen had just taken a few steps when a hoarse voice sounded behind him. The owner of the voice was an old man with a wrinkled face and white beard and hair. The old man was wearing a first-class official uniform with a civil servant's crane patch on his chest. He was the Ministry of Industry. Shang Shu helps the world,
¡°Commander E, I got the craftsmen you asked me for last time for you!¡±
"Thank you, Lord Shangshu. I don't have anything valuable with me. I'll just keep some tea money to reward the servants!" Ye Chen chuckled and took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ji Shi's hand.
When he saw the words ten thousand or two, the wrinkles on Jishi's face deepened.
