    After Li Bangyan started, the people selling Qiurong immediately started to jump out.

    Zhang Bangchang came out and said: "The villain has an idea, maybe he can help Daliang take down the other three capitals."

    Excluding the 200,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, the largest number of Imperial Guards in the Northern Song Dynasty was found in the other three capitals. Each place had 20,000 Imperial Guards and the largest amount of money and grain stored there.  Of course, all the money has been squandered by Zhao Ji, but there is still a lot of food.

    When Chao Yong heard that he could capture the three capitals, he immediately became interested and said curiously: "Tell me about it."

    Zhang Bangchang said carefully: "The villain thinks that the prince can ask Zhao Ji to write an imperial edict and let people take over the remaining three capitals and control the military power. The three capitals may return to Daliang without spending a single soldier."

    When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but think about it.

    The Daliang army will arrive in Tokyo tomorrow, but the fact that the Daliang army entered Tokyo cannot be hidden. In a few days, the news will spread. If you want to replace the remaining three capitals, you must send people on the road today.  , and these three people cannot be from Daliang, otherwise Sanjing Liubei may not believe it. After all, it is strange to suddenly replace Liubei. If there is another person who has never been seen in the court, I am afraid Sanjing Liubei will ask for proof. A little  If you delay the transfer of power for a while, the secret will be exposed.

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, this plan is feasible. Then let's send three people to stay in Beijing, Nanjing, and Xijing. Li Bangyan and you are still missing one person, who is willing?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed out and said, "The villain King Shiyong is willing to share the prince's worries."

    Chao Yong glanced at it and said: "Okay, it's the three of you. Seeing how hard you have spared no effort, I won't favor one. I'll give each of you a concubine from Zhao Ji. Shi Xiu will take them on a trip."

    Seeing the villains adding insult to injury, Su Yuanjing also knew that the Song Dynasty was over, but he was unwilling to let the villains get their way and said: "The villain Su Yuanjing also came up with a plan. The treasury of the Song Dynasty was empty, and Daliang recruited many soldiers and horses.  , I am afraid that money and food are urgently needed. Nowadays, most of the wealth has been taken away by Cai Jing and other traitorous officials. If the prince confiscates the homes of these traitorous officials, it will be enough to cover the national treasury revenue for several years. "

    Chao Yong said in disbelief: "Can it be worth several years of national treasury revenue?"

    He also knew that there was a saying in later generations that "killing Heshen would make Jiaqing rich", but Heshen was rated as the most corrupt person in history.  He was also planning to confiscate the homes of Cai Jing and others, but he did not dare to think that he would be able to generate a few years' worth of treasury income from doing so.

    Su Yuanjing pointed out: "If their collection of calligraphy, paintings, antiques, fields, and houses are sold, it will definitely exceed 50 million guan. In the past few years, when Cai Jing was in power, the national treasury had a surplus of 50 million guan, and then he touted the prosperity of Henan University, so that  The emperor of the Song Dynasty built palaces and gardens for pleasure and squandered all the 50 million yuan. Although the emperor of the Song Dynasty was greedy for pleasure, he was not a plunderer. He would spend money from the treasury when building palaces and gardens, all because he caused public resentment.  After these treacherous ministers took money from the treasury, they enriched their own pockets, and then went to the private sector to plunder it. This caused popular resentment. It can be said that most of the 50 million yuan went into the pockets of these treacherous ministers. In addition, Cai Jing and others sold their official positions and took advantage of their power.  When it comes to corruption and bribery, it can be said that Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and Zhu Meng are all extremely wealthy."

    After all, Su Yuanjing was different from Li Bangyan and others. Although he surrendered to Daliang, he still did not call Zhao Ji by his name, but called him the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

    Chao Yong has some impressions of Su Yuanjing's name. An upright official who appeared in Water Margin was also a key figure in promoting Liangshan's recruitment.

    However, Chao Yong did not promote people indiscriminately because of the slightest impression that he did not know whether they were true or false. Instead, he asked: "I have captured Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, and Zhu Meng. They committed heinous crimes. Needless to say, they ransacked their homes. Can you provide more information?  How much information is there about corrupt officials?¡±

    Su Yuanjing nodded and said: "You can list all the minions of Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng. They relied on the power of Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng and made a lot of money. There is also the eunuch Yang Jian, who single-handedly set up the Xicheng Kuotian Office.  He also collected a lot of money, and his family's wealth is not inferior to that of Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Meng and others. However, Yang Jian has been ill at home recently and is said to be dead soon. "

    Chao Yong slapped his forehead and said: "How come I didn't think of this guy? My land was taken away by him. This guy has done many evil things. If we let him die a good death, wouldn't it be God's fault? But now is not the right time to arrest this guy.  Thief, wait for the army to enter the city tomorrow and capture this thief first. As for Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng, you can list the people who have done many evil things. Although some people worship them, either for self-protection or for promotion.  It's all human nature. I won't care about it, just list the people who are attached to them and do many evil things."

    In these years, Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng have controlled the government, and most of the officials in the government are dependent on them. I was frightened when I heard that Su Yuanjing wanted to take credit from them, but I was relieved when I heard that Chao Yong did not intend to catch them all.

    Su Yuanjing hurriedly said: "PrinceMy kindness, but the matter is serious and I have the guts to ask the prince to allow me and several ministers to draw up a list.  "

    Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, who do you want to invite?"

    Su Yuanjing turned around and found four more Qingliu from Chaozhong. They were all honest and self-responsible people. Otherwise, they would be attacked as soon as they came out, and Su Yuanjing's plan to attack the villain would not be implemented.

    Chao Yong saw that Su Yuanjing and the other five people all looked upright, and said with a smile: "You must be Chaozhong Qingliu?"

    With Li Gang's end still fresh in his mind, Su Yuanjing hurriedly said: "I don't dare to say Qingliu, I just want to do something for the people with all my heart."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "I also know your intention. You just want to use my hand to eradicate some traitorous officials."

    Su Yuanjing was also frightened by Chao Yong's previous decision on the sofa. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "The prince has misunderstood. The villain just wants to solve the problem of money and food for Daliang"

    Chao Yong waved his hand and stopped Yuan Jing to explain, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I, Daliang, will do justice for heaven, kill corrupt officials and save the people. My father and I also hate corrupt officials the most. You want to take this opportunity to get rid of some traitorous officials.  I am also happy to see the results. I will ask someone to check your list later, and if it is true, I will eliminate it. Even if you take the opportunity to eliminate political opponents, I will not object, as long as he is really a corrupt official. "

    When Su Yuanjing heard what Chao Yong said, he felt a lot of recognition in his heart. The demise of the Song Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. It was much better for them to be the ministers of a wise emperor than to be the ministers of a faint emperor.

    "Prince, don't worry, we will draw up this list carefully."

    Chao Yong rushed to Zhao Ji's personal eunuch and said, "Get them pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and a table and chairs."

    Zhao Ji¡¯s personal eunuch was very agile, and soon tables and chairs were placed in the Chui Gong Hall, and Su Yuanjing and others began to work.

    The civil and military officials looked at Su Yuanjing and others writing furiously there, except for a few people, they all felt uneasy in their hearts.

    Chao Yong also secretly kept in mind a few people who seemed not afraid at all.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
