23. The eldest princess Guan Jing

The Nine Clans were also killed.

The rest, of course, is to seize all property. Piles of gold and silver treasures were lifted out of the prime minister's mansion and piled up into a hill. But at this time, Yang Mucheng was unhappy, quite unhappy. It must be known that the annual tax revenue of the Great Qian Kingdom is about 30,000 taels of silver, and the property confiscated by the Prime Minister's Mansion is equal to the tax revenue of the entire kingdom for ten years!

"In the earth in the previous life, the property owned by the biggest corrupt official and Shen was equivalent to the income of the entire Qing Dynasty for fifteen years, I thought it was just an exaggeration of history, but now I know the hatefulness of corrupt officials!" Yang Mucheng gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "These corrupt officials and corrupt officials, absolutely not a single one remains!"

Of course, what made Yang Mucheng even more angry was that some people were not greedy enough.

Ye Wuheng was counting the materials that everyone had seized, while Ma Ping was secretly checking whether he had stolen anything.

It forgave them capital crimes, but also gave them freedom and rights. Allowing these people to leave behind a fortune is already a great reward. If this is the case, there are still people who dare to hide it privately, then Yang Mucheng can't be blamed for being ruthless.

"How many people are unclean in total?" Yang Mucheng asked lightly.

"Nineteen in all. There were three people in the Praetorian Guard, and sixteen of the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison. Ma Ping said in a deep voice.

Nineteen people!

Yang Mucheng's face sank, "Gather everyone!"

The Prime Minister's Office became a temporary office location.

Although the blood had been washed several times, there was still a strong smell of blood. The Praetorian Guard, which was joined by the prisoners, had expanded to about two hundred, and after Ma Ping and Ye Wuheng's training in the past few days, it was no longer as loose as before.

Seeing Yang Mucheng walking slowly, the Praetorian Guards suddenly looked solemn and looked at this man today.

Originally, following Yang Mucheng, these people were reluctant. After all, Prime Minister Huo's power is too huge, if you don't bring down the other party at once, you have to wait for the other party's overwhelming revenge. But who would have thought that it was this young emperor who would kill the ministers and the nine clans of Prime Minister Huo in one day. Now they all understand that as long as they follow this emperor, they will enjoy endless wealth and power!

"As I said, it's not all good for you to follow me. I will give you freedom, I will give you rights, I will give you endless money...... And what you do is that you must follow my orders no matter what, otherwise there is only a dead end!"

Glancing at everyone, Yang Mucheng said lightly: "When it was sealed, I said it. Ninety percent of the booty you have received must be handed over, and the remaining ten percent can be kept for yourself. But there are some people who are greedy enough to swallow elephants and disobey my commands. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Bang! Bang!

As soon as the words fell, the Praetorian Guards who had intercepted the items without permission were all shocked, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Holy Mercy!"

"Holy Lord, spare your life! We have never seen so many treasures before, and we are not greedy enough for a while, please spare our lives!"

"The Holy One gives us a chance to make meritorious deeds!"

Opportunity?

Yang Mucheng shook his head, what is the Son of Heaven and what is the Emperor? You are going to kill them today, because you have let them go with a soft heart, and they will do it again in the future. And other people will also have a fluke mentality, so won't it be chaotic?

"Kill!" Yang Mucheng said lightly.

Ye Wuheng waved his hand, and suddenly nineteen heads fell to the ground together.

At this time, the rest of the Praetorian Guards were cold, and the secret path was dangerous. When they confiscated Prime Minister Huo's property before, they were almost tempted, but fortunately, they thought of Yang Mucheng's methods in time and forcibly suppressed the greed in their hearts.

What if you have a lot of money?

If you have money, you have to have a life to spend it!

Yang Mucheng directly absorbed the qi, blood, and essence of these nineteen internal strength martial artists, and shook his head secretly. "If you want to go one step further and reach the Grandmaster of Internal Strength, the amount of qi, blood and essence required for this is simply massive...... How many people do I have to kill before my cultivation can reach the Grandmaster of Internal Strength?"

Looking at the frightened eyes of the Praetorian Guards, Yang Mucheng nodded with satisfaction. "This killing of chickens and monkeys has finally worked. Only by ensuring that the people around you are not corrupt can you ensure that no one in the whole country is corrupt. In this way, it will not be long before the country will be rich and the people will be strong. But it's not enough, you have to vigorously develop the army next, otherwise in this troubled world, when the army comes, you have no soldiers to use, and you can only be the king of the dead country. ”

Just when Yang Mucheng was about to have someone drag the body out and burn it, Ye Wuheng hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words.

Oh?

Yang Mucheng, who originally planned to return to the palace, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that at this critical moment, the messenger of Silla actually came, nodded lightly, and said, "Let them come to see me!"

When he came to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Mucheng had not yet heated the bench, and an old man and a young man slowly came outside the hall.

This old and young man are Zhang Waishi and the eldest princess Guan Jing, who were watching the excitement outside the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning. At this time, Zhang Waishi looked at Yang Mucheng with a complicated face, you must know that he didn't take this emperor in his eyes at all at the beginning, so he directly took Guan Jing to the Prime Minister's Mansion. But who knew that he saw such a scene.

"It turned out to be Zhang Waishi of Silla Kingdom, you came to see me, why did you come to see me?" Yang Mucheng looked at each other condescendingly.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Zhang Waishi respectfully made a five-body bow to the ground, and then said: "We are here this time for the alliance between the two countries. The kingdom of Goryeo is growing stronger and more ambitious. He even led an army of 100,000 people to prepare to attack our Silla country. Therefore, I would like to implore Your Majesty to send troops and we will join forces to defeat the Kingdom of Goryeo. ”

Leading an army of 100,000 does not sound like much, but in fact, it is already a fairly large number for small countries such as the Daqian Kingdom, Goryeo, and Silla. In this era, it is not like the earth in Yang Mucheng's previous life, where famines, floods, and insect plagues often occur...... Except for some martial artists, ordinary people can live to the age of sixty is already considered a long life.

And when they all go to war, who will farm the land and who will open up the wasteland? One out of 100 people joining the army will already be a considerable burden on the country's food and finances.

For example, the Silla Kingdom can only come up with an army of 30,000 at most. The Great Qian Kingdom was even worse, only able to come up with about 20,000 troops. Of course, those eighth-order and seventh-order powers are naturally not in this range.

"Oh, send troops to fight, this is easy to say, but what is the benefit?" Yang Mucheng asked lightly.

"We, Silla, are willing to marry the eldest princess to you? From now on, Daqian and Silla will be one family!" Zhang Waishi hurriedly said, and gave the official envoy on the side a look. As the eldest princess, Guan Jing naturally also knew the truth, so she hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Guan Jing has seen Your Majesty!"

Guan Jing in Silla is the first beauty. Proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is also a mastery of governing the country. However, she is a female generation and is not qualified to inherit the throne, so she can only be a victim of officialdom.

If she was asked to marry someone else, Guan Jing might not be willing. But she had seen Yang Mucheng's methods before, not like those gentlemen in Silla who were unlearned and unskilled, and at the same time, he was also a master of internal strength, and he had long been secretly obsessed with him.

Guan Jing is also very confident in her appearance, and she believes that Yang Mucheng will definitely agree.

But Yang Mucheng crossed over from the earth, what kind of beauty has he never seen? Glancing at Guan Jing lightly, he sneered: "Just kidding, a woman wants me to send an army and let my people throw their heads and spill blood, do you think it's possible?"
