After the immortal disappeared

He Yang immediately lowered his head: "I dare not! Palace Master, I was wrong!"

"The longevity ceremony is coming soon and the whole city is under martial law. It is not appropriate to act rashly at this time. If the secret guard fails, King Yao will get involved and cause trouble." She and King Yao had fought before. Every move you made and every move I made were measured, and none of them crossed the line. . If she directly assassinates the minister of Yao Kingdom, it will be a unilateral escalation of the conflict and directly bring the struggle to the next stage. "If the secret guard succeeds, everyone will know that I will kill people at the slightest disagreement, which will in turn bring the ministers into disrepute." Push it to King Yao!"

Can she, a foreign supervisor, threaten the life and death of the Manchu civil and military forces? Do you really think that the powerful Yao King does not exist?

"Besides, the only way to control officials is through promotion, rewards and punishments, and interests, not life and death!" Qingyang sighed, "If you live to my age, you will understand, even if you set the rule early: Corruption must be Even if you behead all the corrupt officials, you won’t be able to kill them all.”

He Yang's resentment seemed to her to be just childish annoyance.

He still couldn't bear it: "Can't we stop this evil trend, so we can only watch their monarchs and ministers perform?"

"One side wants to be loyal, the other side wants to collect money, we hit it off right away. You are right, this evil trend will only get worse -" Qingyang picked a bunch of osmanthus flowers from the branches around him, "-in a short time!"

"Let me ask you, why do these noble officials spend a lot of money to buy monasteries and show their loyalty?"

He Yang remembered what Qingyang had just said and immediately said: "For your own career?"

"In order to get promoted and make a fortune, right?" Qingyang said with a smile, "If Prince Qing's Mansion buys it, the faults of Prince Qing's Mansion will be wiped out; if Bai Tan buys it, Bai Tan's relatives will be promoted. Other officials understand this. Then I followed their example and bought a monastery.”

"There are more than a dozen buildings in the first phase of Youhu Villa. I don't know how many buildings there are in the second phase. I think there are quite a lot of them. Since they spent money and showed their loyalty, does King Yao also have to reciprocate the favor?" Qingyang Shaking the cinnamon branch in his hand, the fragrant flowers fell, "The promotion and salary increase of dozens of people, what a large-scale personnel change!"

The buyers of Youhu Villa all want promotions, exonerations, and salary increases? Even King Yao cannot act like this.

"On the other hand, what about the officials who haven't bought the monastery? Their opportunities for promotion and salary increase have been taken away by others. Do they still have a chance to get ahead?" Qingyang said with a sarcastic tone, "The promotion assessment of Manchu civil and military affairs It doesn’t look at political performance, morality, or corruption, it only depends on position, and loyalty depends entirely on spending money! It’s just child’s play in court and off stage, and you still claim that you are a powerful country with a lot of money!”

He Yang whispered: "Palace Master Ruiming!"

"Thirty years ago, our vassal demon kingdom, Shanyu Kingdom, was trapped in party disputes. The prime minister, Cao Peng, used a similar method to force officials to stand in line and choose positions. The momentum was huge and rapidly expanded. As a result, in less than half a year, Shu Shu "Put the monkeys away!" Qingyang threw away the flower branches, "The reason is that people are not worried about the shortage but the inequality. There are not so many benefits that can be shared by rain and dew!"

"Besides, the group of people who bought Youhu Jingshe and expressed their loyalty to Mr. Yao couldn't deal with each other. Bai Tan had always disliked Qi Yunsheng, Qi Shu'an's uncle and nephew, the Gu family and the Bu family didn't get along, and the Lu family and the Liu family didn't get along. The family has been fighting for more than thirty years." Qingyang chuckled, "Yaojun forced them to be tied together to deal with me. How much can they do together?"

"He Xiao is a talented person. But what he presented to Mr. Yao was only a temporary plan, not a lifelong plan."

He Yang also said bitterly: "Palace Master has farsightedness! Such a crooked approach cannot last forever."

"The more crazy you get, the more unsustainable it is! Just look at it, the shortest time is one month, the longest time is two months, this farce should be over." In the 600-year-old country of Bejia, what strange things and chaos have not happened? She had long been tired of seeing this stuff in the officialdom.

She looked at He Yang and smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry, we must wait until Chongwu takes office and leads the troops smoothly! This matter is too important, and we must not let King Yao regret it!"

"yes."

"The fanaticism in Yaoting should also fade by then, and that's when we take action." For now, we might as well avoid the edge for the time being.

At this moment, a bird demon flew over and landed on a branch.

Qingyang casually untied a bamboo tube from its paw, pulled out the note inside and opened it.

There is only one sentence in it:

Lord Liang's envoy entered the palace.

Qingyang slowly tore up the note: "Okay, great. King Yao captured Liang Xiaohao, which shows that he is determined to go against me!"

Removing Liang Xiaohao would offend Miao Zhantian's temple chief. King Yao was willing to pay such a price because he believed that "Youhu Villa" was of extraordinary value and significance and could help him unify his forces.

Qingyang doesn't like such a single-minded Yao Wang.

"The new temple for Miao Zhantian has been built for two and a half years, but it has always been delayed. It is said that the new batch of panjin stones has been stuck for more than four months and has not been delivered. Ambassador Liang has also expressed his dissatisfaction. Now It’s like this again…”

"Why doesn't King Yao understand that I'm here to help him?" Qingyang sighed leisurely, "As long as Yao Kingdom remains obedient to Bejia, why should I embarrass him?"

He Yang said: "King Yao is short-sighted and doesn't know that the palace owner has good intentions."

"I am old, and I only want to live a peaceful old age when I come to Yao Kingdom. But the monarchs and ministers of Yao Kingdom are becoming more and more ungrateful, so I can only fulfill the mission entrusted to me by the emperor." Qingyang took another pill, and his complexion became more rosy. This medicine can help her decompress the True Fire of the Sun that she just collected. "The domestic dog has food and drink. After a few years of comfortable life, it thinks that it is a companion, and that it is the companion of its owner. This is called not knowing the heights of the sky.”

He Yang sneered: "Dogs who don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is will eventually be killed and eaten. The palace master is kind-hearted and wants to save them. I'm afraid that the king and ministers of Yao Kingdom will not recognize their positions in the end, and will let the palace master down in vain."

"Okay, you are not a child anymore, don't be so angry." Qingyang patted his arm and said lovingly, "After the Liang Lord leaves the palace, he will come to my place, prepare to welcome the guest."

...

The palace of Yao Kingdom.

The king of Yao just finished listening to Liu Wu's report and frowned:

"After the incident at Xiaotao Villa, was Qu Ruhai still wandering around?"

"Yes, Qu Ruhai's appearance is special, and several people have pointed out." Liu Wu said, "After the murderer committed the crime, he usually likes to go back to the crime scene."

"Fake alibi, mystery of whereabouts that night, and appeared near Xiaotao Villa the next day, um——" The king of Yao pondered.

Everyone knows that Xue Zongwu was killed by the Nine Nether Emperor. But who is behind the mask of the Nine Nether Emperor?

The Luodian people have always been the focus of suspicion, and Qu Ruhai is becoming more and more suspicious.

Liu Wu asked: "Should we question Qu Ruhai?"

Yao Wang rejected: "No, just send someone to keep an eye on him first, and don't relax for a moment."

If we ask now, Qu Ruhai will certainly not admit it, and then the ball will be kicked to Yao Wang's side. What should we do with him? It is not a good idea to move Qu Ruhai without authorization, which may easily lead to diplomatic incidents.

Let's search for evidence first.

"Yes." Liu Wu reported again, "In addition, the Mubang tribe also denied that they killed General Xue."

Yao Wang couldn't help but sneered: "They deny that they are the Black Armor Army?"

He could imagine the panic of the Mubang people when they heard the news of Xue Zongwu's death. They just want to get the reputation of acting on behalf of heaven, but don't want to bear the crime of killing the general of Yao State.

"No."

Yao Wang said lightly: "Then let them explain clearly, otherwise my Yao army will raze them to the ground."

Liu Wu withdrew in response, and the imperial guard Zhao Song came to see him.

"My king, He Xiao reported that there are only two houses left in Youhu Villa."

He was assigned by Yao Wang to be by He Xiao's side, and he often had to go to the palace to report.

"So fast?" Yao Wang was slightly surprised, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "Who else went to buy the houses?"

The first row of houses facing the lake in Youhu Villa were all sold out in less than a day-as soon as he received this good news, he understood the value of He Xiao's Youhu plan!

It's been less than two days, and the first phase is almost sold out? He really didn't expect it.

Zhao Song presented a box with both hands: "This is the new purchase list, please take a look, Your Majesty."

In fact, there is not only a list in the box, but also a brand new silver note.

Just after selling two houses yesterday, He Lingchuan sent the gold-plated down payment to the palace.

Daily settlement!

King Yao pointed, and the old palace servant Qiu Long standing behind him took two steps forward to take the box and handed it to King Yao.

The list only had the building number, the buyer and the price. It was very simple. King Yao took it and flipped through it and read it all. He couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Lord You can't sit still."

Seeing his eyebrows dancing, Zhao Song hurriedly said: "Lord You acted too late and only bought the third row, but he booked the first row of the second phase of the lake from He Xiao."

"Lord You is still Lord You." King Yao smiled. Since Beijia became the regent, Zhao Song rarely made the king so happy.

King Yao was of course happy.

It has been less than a dozen hours since the Qing Palace took the first Youhu Villa, and the first phase of Youhu Villa is almost sold out.

What does it mean?

In this way, the ten ministers showed him their intentions:

They will stand firmly against the Qingyang Regent.

The speed and the number of people were beyond King Yao's expectations.

The faster and more the houses in Youhu Villa were sold, the larger the number of officials who supported him would be.

He understood that he had made the right move by using He Xiao.

No wonder Master Shuangye would use this man to deal with Qingyang. He Xiao was indeed good at it.

At this time, the palace servant came to report that You Rongzhi had come to see the emperor.

King Yao ordered Zhao Song to leave and wait outside the palace.

In the palace, the monarch and his ministers discussed official business and talked about Youhu Villa.

As the site supervisor of the villa, You Rongzhi immediately reported the progress of the construction site, including materials, labor and practical difficulties, etc. King Yao also attached great importance to Qingyang's reaction.

Then he said: "The first phase of the villa is about to be sold out. He Xiao said that the approval of the second phase has been submitted?"

King Yao hummed: "Do you think there are any problems with the progress of the construction site?"

You Rongzhi immediately replied: "So far, the materials and labor are in place and everything is in order."

Go to the hospital today.

The time for examination, waiting for tests and treatment in the hospital is longer than expected.

I rushed home to finish the manuscript and finally caught up...
