As soon as these words came out, Yang Shen kowtowed heavily and begged: "Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."

Wang Sheng glanced at Zheng Yi who was standing aside, and then he turned to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne and said: "Your Majesty..."

But Wang Sheng was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"In this case, all adult men and women of the Yang family will be beheaded, and those under the age of fourteen will be sent to the border town in the north." Xuanyuan Che locked eyes with Wang Sheng with cold eyes and said: "I am punishing you for this. What does the king think?"

Wang Sheng did not dare to disobey the emperor, not to mention that Yang Shen's matter was indeed caught in the wrong place. In addition, the Yushitai was holding on to him, and now a trace of Yang Shen's bloodline had been preserved. As long as he was assigned to the border town in the north, he would have no worries as long as he took care of it secretly. It was considered that he had fulfilled his promise to Yang Shen. He immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Yang Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, said with a choked voice, "I thank you for your grace."

Xuanyuan Che didn't pay much attention to it, and said to Zheng Yi: "This matter will be handled by Yushitai, and I will hand over all subsequent matters to Zheng Qing."

"Yes, I have accepted the order and must do what the emperor has given me." Zheng Yi could feel that the emperor left a ray of hope for the Yang family because he was concerned about the Prime Minister's Palace. The Yang family no longer has any role, and the position of the Minister of Rites has also disappeared. Therefore, the next thing to do is to try to arrange for his people to intervene in the six forces and kill some irrelevant people. It is just a waste of words.

At that moment, the imperial guards took Yang Shen down directly.

At this time, Li Mo, who was standing there, said loudly: "If there is nothing to do, I will withdraw from the court."

After the emperor left, the ministers retreated.

Outside Jinluan Hall.

Zheng Yi and Wang Sheng walked out side by side and said jokingly: "Prime Minister Wang, you have to take care of your people and don't make any mistakes again. This time you can give the emperor a chance to survive, but next time you won't be so lucky." ”

Wang Sheng said coldly: "Why, Mr. Zheng thinks that if Yang Shen is investigated and the position of Minister of Rites is vacant, your disciple will be promoted to the position. You don't want to think about who is the person who will prove the crimes of the Yang family." When the evidence and evidence are delivered to your censorship, instead of worrying about my officer, you should focus on yourself, or do you think that if Yang Shen has been harmed, you are qualified to replace me?"

Zheng Yi: "What Wang Xiang said is that he can secretly conduct a thorough investigation of the Yang family in Songcheng, and also send human and physical evidence to the Yushitai that will never make the Yang family stand up. How could I not know the tricks of the people behind it?" Tongtian, I can take care of my own affairs, so I won’t bother the Prime Minister to say more. As for dealing with Yang Shen, I am just following orders, so there is no intention to replace the Prime Minister."

Then, Zheng Yi chuckled and continued: "Wang Xiang followed the emperor at first. The power of the Wang family also reached an unprecedented level after the emperor ascended the throne. The daughter of the Wang Xiang was canonized as the queen. It can be said that there are flowers in the brocade. The scenery is endless. If the emperor wants to hear what the Prime Minister said, he will think that the Prime Minister regards me as a mortal enemy and wants to get rid of him. He will insert his hand into the Yushitai, control the six departments and the Yushitai at the same time, and have all the power in the government. .”

Wang Sheng snorted coldly and said: "The world belongs to the emperor, and the court is naturally the emperor's court. As a human minister, you should be loyal to the emperor. How can you have such arrogance?"

Zheng Yi said: "No, then I will take the first step. After all, there is no room for error in what the emperor has given us, and it needs to be done as soon as possible."

Wang Sheng looked at Zheng Yi's walking back and frowned. When the seven kings competed for the throne, all the forces took sides. If the Zheng family hadn't followed closely behind and made the right choice, Zheng Yi's status would have jumped up. His daughter entered the palace and became the favored concubine of the emperor. Otherwise, the original Zheng family would be worthy of being on an equal footing with his Wang family? How could it be Zheng Yi's turn to be so arrogant in front of him!

Lin Ming, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who was following Wang Sheng, whispered: "Sir, something happened to Yang Shen, and the post of Minister of Rites is vacant. What should we do next?"

Wang Sheng said in a deep voice to the people behind him: "In the case of Yang Shen, the Emperor has made it clear that he intends to intervene in the Six Ministries to rectify the forces of the Six Ministries. You must act carefully and never allow others to catch your mistakes."

Lin Ming and others all responded in unison: "Yes."

……

In the harem, Zhaohua Palace, in the inner hall.

Zheng Shiyao held the tea in her hand and drank it leisurely. She listened to the maid next to her detailing the news coming from outside. She said with a smile: "I said that I would go to Fengyang Palace to pay my respects to the Queen today. The Queen has a sad face. Please Li An let them all disperse. It turned out that such a big thing happened. It was really surprising. I thought that sending their daughter to the palace would bring the Yang family to a higher level, but who knew that their daughter was gone? , and the entire Yang family was destroyed."

The maid Hong Jian echoed and said: "That's not what the empress said. The six tribes are all direct subordinates of the prime minister, and the families of the six ministers also follow the Wang family. Now the entire Yang family has been wiped out. For the Wang family, that is a huge loss, but for our Lord, it is a greater advantage."

Zheng Shiyao said: "We only lost one Yang family, which is not enough. When the Wang family can no longer provide strong support to the queen, this palace skyrockets, and our Zheng family completely crushes the Wang family, then the real victory will be Good times.”

The maid Hong Ling responded and said: "The empress is suppressing the empress in the harem, and the adults in the court are resisting the prime minister. Whatever the empress wants will definitely come true."

Zheng Shiyao smiled proudly.

……

Imperial study room, inside the palace.

Xuanyuan Che sat in front of the dragon case, looked at Feng Ying standing in front of him, and said in a neither serious nor serious tone: "The remaining Yang clan members who were sent to the border town in the north became bandits on their way to the border town. Let’s rob and kill.”

Feng Ying had followed the emperor for many years, so he knew clearly what he wanted to do. He wanted to eradicate the root causes without leaving any future troubles. He said seriously: "Yes, I will arrange it. Since the people who should not be left behind, I should let them all disappear from the world." .”

After these words were settled, Feng Ying then said: "Your Majesty, the 'Fenghua Xueyue Tower' controls the intelligence of all parties very accurately. Although the 'Blood Shadow Guard' also has its own specialized intelligence network, from now on, subordinates will be dispatched to Songcheng. The Blood Shadow Guard learned from the mouth that the Third Young Master of Qin was very good at this. Last night, my subordinates wanted to tell the Emperor. I was wondering if there was a chance to cooperate with him? If I could get this help, I would be able to help the Emperor. It will definitely be of great help in future plans.”

Xuanyuan Che was about to pick up the pen and start reviewing the memorial. He paused and said to Feng Ying: "I will consider your proposal carefully."

After the wind shadow responded "yes", he stepped back.

Xuanyuan Che has already had this intention. He is a talented person, so there is no reason why he should not use it, but he still has to rely on his Shu'er to help him with this matter.
