PS: There are six hours left and the month is over. In these last six hours, Snow Love will work hard to code words for the last outbreak of the month. Of course, I also take this opportunity to ask for support from everyone, subscriptions, recommended tickets and monthly passes, which are great needs, so let's set off a thunderstorm. Finally, I would like to thank the book friend james242 and the other two unnamed genesis book friends for voting for the monthly ticket.

………………………………………………………………………………

Nearly 120,000 captives calmed down after the initial fear and turmoil. They are all soldiers or bandits everywhere, compared to the best to be soldiers in the Youzhou military camp, carefree, food and clothing, military pay while alive, and a pension for the dead family.

Li Yi immediately ordered Xun Yu to issue the first month's full salary, and the mood of the captives stabilized.

Three days later, Li Yi ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to reorganize the 120,000 prisoners, and selected 50,000 of them to be strong and between the ages of eighteen and thirty to form a new army, and a large number of officers were drawn from the Youzhou army to enrich the reorganized army.

The remaining 70,000 or so captives were also concentrated, and Li Yi reorganized them into an engineering army, intending to start large-scale land reclamation after completely controlling Liaodong to prepare for next year's tuntian affairs.

Then, 80,000 regular troops, 70,000 engineering troops, a total of 150,000 brigades, began training.

………………

I don't know through what channel, Gongsun Zhao and others got the news that Li Yi had returned to Xiangping, and they immediately sent people to explore the Xiangping camp. Through various methods, Gongsun Zhao even went to the camp to search everywhere in person in the name of inspection, but found no trace of Li Yi.

After discussing with Zhu Liang, the dog-headed military advisor, Gongsun Zhao couldn't figure out the mystery here. But Zhu Liang keenly smelled the danger, and he urged Gongsun Zhao again. Let his son Gongsun Min leave Liaodong and go to Luoyang with a group of henchmen.

Gongsun Zhao did not dare to be negligent, and immediately sent people to his hometown in Liaodong, urging his family to leave Liaodong as soon as possible.

And in this process, Li Ying's shadow group still did not stop their steps, Li Yi even asked Li Ying to expand the scope of the search, and more people were also searched out by the shadow group, including several big families in Luoyang, the capital division, and several extremely powerful eunuchs.

Li Yi also had a headache for such a situation, and he urgently convened the strategists again to discuss countermeasures.

This time. Li Ying's shadow group spread the news to Liaodong, that is, the Son of Heaven built Wanjin Hall in the West Garden and began to openly sell official mantles.

When the generals and strategists of Youzhou heard these two news, their faces were ugly. Most of them are loyal to the Han family, especially people like Guan Yu, Xun Yu and others, who are known for their loyalty to the Han family in history. Among them, Xun Yu was estranged from Cao Cao because of Cao Cao's arrogance, and finally died.

Regarding this matter, Li Yi was not surprised. He knew very well that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had a long history of selling official positions. Back in the first year of Light and Harmony (178). Liu Hong, at the instigation of his mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, and his attendants, began to try to sell officials.

At that time, the imperial court publicly announced that it could spend money to buy positions in departments such as Huben and Yulin under Guangluxun from Guan Neihou down; The rules for selling officials are: the price of a magistrate is twice as high as that of a court official, and the price of a county official is different; Officials must also be promoted according to the price. The person seeking the position can evaluate the bid, and the person with the highest bid will win the bid.

In addition to a fixed price. It also increases or decreases at any time according to the value of the seeker and the property he owns. Generally speaking, the price of an official position is calculated based on the annual salary of an official, for example, the price of an official position of 2,000 stone is 2 million yuan, and the price of an official position of 400 stone is 400,000 yuan. In other words, the price of an official position is a thousand times the annual income of an official.

Later, it became even more severe, and later officials were transferred, promoted, or newly appointed to take office, and they had to pay one-third or one-quarter of the price of the official position, that is, . When an official takes office, he must first pay the equivalent of his legal income for more than 25 years. Many officials were so frightened that they could not pay such a high "official fee" and left their official positions.

This year, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty raised the position of the traitor to the level of the third duke. The three dukes (Situ, Sikong, and Taiwei) marked a price of 10 million yuan. Cui Lie, who was the court lieutenant at the time, bought the position of Situ for only five million yuan through Mrs. Fu Cheng, the mother of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty.

On the day of the official worship, Liu Hong personally attended the gathering of hundreds of officials, and Liu Hong turned back to the favored ministers around him and said: "I regret not holding on, I could have sold it for 10 million yuan." ”

Mrs. Cheng replied: "Gong Cui is a famous man in Jizhou!" How could he buy an official at first, didn't he lose my matchmaking, but didn't Your Majesty know my kindness? ”

Li Yi is the same as everyone on the surface, but in his heart he is happy, because the opportunity to solve the current crisis has come. He is not afraid of Emperor Han Ling, who is greedy for money, but he is afraid that Emperor Han Ling is not greedy for money.

But he couldn't reveal his thoughts, so he openly denounced with everyone what kind of treacherous eunuch the Son of Heaven misled the country, and the ministers did not act by the side of the Son of Heaven, and so on, but secretly, he brought Xu Maogong and Jia Xu, two strategists who did not have much affection for the Han family, to discuss how to take advantage of this opportunity.

The three of them closed the door and discussed like this, and then, with Li Yi's face full of cheap smiles, a piece of music was written, and then quickly sent to Luoyang, the capital division.

………………

After Li Yi left Fang County, Zhang Jaw was responsible for negotiating with the Gongsun Han brothers.

And when the time entered September of the second year of Zhongping in the Great Han Kingdom, Zhang Jaw finally reached an agreement with Gongsun Han on the issue of appeasement in Fang County.

Zhang Jaw immediately sent someone to deliver the news to the Youzhou Army camp in Xiangping.

Li Yi's heart that had been hanging finally let go, and it was time for him to reap the fruits of victory.

At this time, the newly formed army of 50,000 had been trained for almost a month, and now the Youzhou army in Liaodong has reached 80,000, including 30,000 cavalry.

As soon as it was determined that Gongsun Han would accept the appeasement, Li Yi used 30,000 iron horsemen and sent almost all the generals under his command to various places in the three counties of Liaodong to arrest the Haoqiang family who had been investigated and confirmed to be plotting against him.

Within half a month, the footprints of Youzhou Iron Cavalry covered the three counties of Liaodong and one of the 40 counties of the subordinate country, arresting more than 1,000 people, involving more than 150 families. Among them, there are nearly seventy powerful families.

The whole Liaodong fell into terror, and even the court fell into great fear, and the court officials led by Zhang Yan, the commander of the Taiwei, the general of the chariot and the cavalry Yuan Kui, and others went to the Son of Heaven, asking the Son of Heaven to punish Li Yi, who was bold and reckless, and dismissed Li Yi's former general and Youzhou pastor, and cut off his title of Marquis of Quanzhou, and demoted him to a commoner.

It's a pity that at this juncture, the Son of Heaven refused to go to court for more than ten consecutive days. He stayed in Wanjintang in the West Garden every day, eating, drinking and having fun, and even pampered the nobles and concubines in the middle of Wanjintang's money and silk.

In the past ten days, from morning to night, the carriages transporting money and silk into the palace have been flowing endlessly, and there has been no interruption from beginning to end.

The Son of Heaven has become rich.

But the behavior of the ministers has completely changed, and they have changed from the initial impeachment of the powerful table to the current fear. Walking on thin ice, later, some people even went to court with money.

According to the latest order issued by the Son of Heaven, any crime can be offset with money.

………………

Half a month has passed. The Son of Heaven has ascended to court.

The Son of Heaven stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the ministers under the hall, and sneered: "Are you Aiqing very afraid? ”

Silent.

"I see that you all came with money, presumably to go to school. Advice, and there is a need to redress grievances? ”

Still silent.

The Son of Heaven suddenly pointed his finger at the ministers and screamed hoarsely: "Thief." Treacherous! You are all thieves and traitors! You are the greatest thief in the world, you have stolen my country, your people, and my palace; You are the biggest traitor in the world, you are connected with the Hulu alien race, murdered my ministers, cut off the Han Dynasty's national barriers, and tried in vain to overthrow the Han Dynasty, you are heinous, heinous, you should be killed, all should be killed, I will kill you......"

The ministers were terrified, frightened, and fell to their knees.

The Son of Heaven gasped violently, his little face flushed, and he shouted angrily: "Think for yourself, how much money do you have to buy back your heads, buy back your clan disciples, buy back your protégés and old officials. ”

The Son of Heaven calmed down a little and continued: "Three days, I will give you three days, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

The Son of Heaven's eyes widened suddenly, and said gloomily: "Is there anything else in the book?" ”

There was a dead silence in the hall, and the tension was almost suffocating.

"Is there any other advice?"

The Son of Heaven looked around at the ministers, his face full of disdain, and suddenly, he waved his hands and roared furiously: "Get out, get out of here......

The ministers rushed back as if they were on the verge of amnesty.

………………

Taiwei Zhang Yan, Che Cavalry General Zhang Wen, Guanglu Doctor Xu Xiang, Shangshu Lu Zhi and others did not go home directly after going down to the court, and went straight to Yuan's mansion.

In the eyes of the ministers, today's son has always been a mediocre, muddy, arrogant, lascivious, and extravagant person. Although they shouted "long live" in their mouths and looked like gods, they actually treated him as a waste, an idiot, and a pustule in their hearts.

But what they didn't expect was that such a person, without them knowing, and another warrior who they also considered to be brainless and only knew how to do brute, quietly joined forces to launch such a large-scale operation.

The murder of a court member at the level of Jiuqing is really shocking.

This news, like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocked the entire imperial court.

And, with this thunderbolt came a thunderous storm.

What's more, if this conspiracy succeeds, it will be fine, after all, no one will speak for a dead man, right? What's more, it was the joint action of several gate lords and eunuchs in the inner court.

But it was good to die, not only did this conspiracy not succeed, but it was also caught, and even the letters written by several gate lords and eunuchs in the inner court to those people in Liaodong were collected and handed over to the Son of Heaven as evidence of the crime.

The storm was like a storm, and it dealt them a heavy blow.

Relatives, traitors, clans, and the three major forces were all hit hard overnight.

Under such a heavy blow, Yuan Kui fell ill.

This conspiracy against Li Yi, the Yuan family is the absolute main force, so it is the deepest involved, and the protégés of the Yuan family have been arrested the most.

The Yuan family from Yuan An to Yuan Kui, the four generations and five people are the three dukes, the power is overwhelming, the children of the clan, the protégés and the old officials, I am afraid that the Yang family valve who is the first in the Han Dynasty is also sighing to himself.

It is said that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and this is true. However, there is also a saying that the tree is a big wind. Therefore, when this storm swept in, Yuan's gate valve also suffered the greatest loss.

As the head of the family, Yuan Kui was angry and anxious, heartache and worry, and finally couldn't support it and lay down. (To be continued.) )
