After Ye Fei finished reading the memorial, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. He never expected that such a difficult thing would not only be resolved by him cleverly, but could even resist the generals.

Ye Fei's argument is simply wonderful! The prince broke the law, and the prince's father and teacher were jointly responsible, but the prince and the emperor were the supreme emperor and could not be punished, and only the prince's teacher could bear all this. So the prince was confined and the emperor was responsible for guarding the prince. Finally, there was reason not to come to court again, and the prince's teacher was in trouble and was sentenced to death by thousands of knifes.

After Ye Fei finished reading the memorial, the prince, who was already useless, collapsed to the ground in fright. The prince's teacher even knelt directly on the ground and climbed to the imperial stairs to kowtow to Emperor Tianqi: "The old minister is guilty, but he will not die." He actually acknowledged Ye Fei's punishment.

Everyone was unbelievable, but after careful consideration, they immediately understood the reason.

First of all, the prince's master is also a Confucian scholar, a famous contemporary scholar. He is a person who has received Confucian classic teachings since childhood. Secondly, Ye Fei said that, according to Confucianism, the prince is wrong, and his father and master are both joint and several liable, but the prince is the lord of the nineteenth century, how can he be punished casually? Therefore, the punishment can only fall on him as a teacher. Finally, this matter was actually led by the prince's master, and the purpose was to use the prince to shake the foundation of Ye Fei's reform. But he never expected that Ye Fei actually rebeled and made a military officer, and he also made a reasonable and well-founded statement. As a teacher, he had made a big mistake in using his students. The strategy he made was not successful, but was attacked by the other party, which made the prince unbearable and committed a death penalty.

Because of the above three reasons, the prince simply admitted it, knelt down and kowtowed to the prince for punishment, and said only one sentence: "I will not die if I commit sins."

Who is the Crown Master? The Crown Master is the most trusted person of Emperor Tianqi. His character and moral knowledge are impeccable, so he was chosen by the emperor as the teacher of the Crown Master. The Crown Master had been teaching the Crown Prince for fifteen years. At that time, Emperor Tianqi was not the emperor and was still competing for the throne with his brothers.

The prince's master cried, and the prince also cried, asking Emperor Tianqi to forgive his master.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Ye Fei inquiringly, and the latter immediately gave a step: "The emperor should beg for mercy, but the crime of death can be avoided from being alive, and the punishment of crippling according to the law." In fact, Ye Fei had already thought of crippling him with crippling, after all, the law is like this and cannot be changed. The reason why he said that he was cut into pieces was actually to scare him out of his courage, so that he and the people behind him would no longer dare to do some dirty things in secret, and also let the people in the world see their determination to reform.

Emperor Aoki agreed and waved his hand toward him.

All the civil and military officials of the court sent him away respectfully.

The prince walked up to Ye Fei angrily and slapped him. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei was fine, but his palm became red and swollen. The prince was furious and pointed at Ye Fei and scolded, "I will definitely kill you one day."

"Please pay attention to your words and deeds!" Ye Fei's voice was loud and spread throughout the palace.

The prince was afraid, so he returned to the teacher and was about to help him up and leave. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei ordered the Tingwei to enter the palace and prepare to take the prince's master away in the current dynasty.

The prince refused and blocked the teacher behind him, and stood stalemate with the court guard.

Ye Fei walked over with a stern look, his eyes did not fall on the prince, but instead looked at the prince's teacher behind him, and said in a vibrant tone: "You accept the teachings of the saint, but you cannot fulfill the obligations of the teacher. Let the prince make a big mistake and affect the current saint. It is the saint's greatest tolerance for you if you don't appreciate it, do you want to watch the father and son turn against you!"

The prince's knees left the ground, pushed the prince away from behind and walked to Ye Fei, raised his head and said unwillingly: "I was wondering, who could inherit the name of a great scholar. When I saw him today, I realized that he was indeed talented, knowledgeable, and quick-witted. I was defeated and I was convinced by the loss, but you should not be proud of it. After all, you are not reading the Book of Sages alone, and the Name of a great scholar is not only for you. One day, someone will surpass you."

"The name of a great scholar is nothing to me. What I care about is whether the new law can be implemented smoothly. Those who block me will die!" Ye Fei inserted his hands into the court ward and said to the prince's master condescendingly: "Go and be punished. The turtle shrank and gathered his minions to accumulate strength. If you want to deal with me, you can wait until the prince ascended the throne, and then the human country was already extremely powerful."

"I will."

At the end of June of the 13th year of Kaihuang, the prince's army was punished and punished by slaughter, and announced to the world.

As soon as this happened, everyone was uproared. People thought Ye Fei was crazy and even the prince's teacher dared to offend him. This was not leaving a way out for him.

Ye Fei thought that after this incident, his plot against him would be calm for a while, but he didn't expect that he had completely wrong and even greater crises followed one after another.

In July of the 13th year of Kaihuang, the national salt price suddenly increased, and the salt price increased twenty times overnight, and almost stopped supply, from princes and nobles to ordinary people to face a situation where there was no salt available.

In fact, salt prices have been rising all the way in the past six months, but the amplitude is small; in July, the cut-off of salt supply has led to a surge in salt prices across the country, and the prices have risen to an incredible level.

It is obvious that this was done by someone on purpose, and he wanted to give Ye Fei a warning, so that the new law would not win the hearts of the people and could not gain a foothold.

To make matters worse, the rice price rose ten times the same month, and the price increase was almost comparable to the salt price. In theory, Ye Fei should have lowered the rice price by reducing the field tax, so why did it rise instead? After the investigation, I found out that the increase in rice prices was due to the reduction of grain production and the reduction of grain production was due to insufficient agricultural tools.

It turned out that the new law announced that people were divided into nine grades, and the craftsmen were the lowest, and the people were not allowed to hide weapons, which led to the closure of iron smith shops in various places. In addition to preventing swords and swords, the closure of the blacksmith shops also stopped production. In addition, due to the punishment of the prince's army, a trend of house searches emerged across the country. This trend was naturally to respond to Ye Fei, but in the specific implementation process, it changed its flavor, resulting in some hoes and sickles and other farm tools being classified as weapons and confiscated, resulting in the fragmentation of innocent families, and the head of the family suffered unrestrained disasters and became disabled and lost the ability to move. For a time, the people were in vain, and landlords and farmers in various places buried their own farm tools in the field and no longer used them, making the grain entering the harvest season and unable to be harvested quickly. The grain production was thus reduced, and the grain prices soared.

If the rise in salt prices was deliberately framed by Ye Fei, then the rise in rice prices was completely caused by unfavorable policy implementation. The people could not survive and cursed the new law as a chaotic government, and the public was in agitation for a while.

These two things have made Ye Fei frustrated. Unexpectedly, a third tricky thing happened at the critical moment. Due to the re-division of administrative areas, the local official positions represented by the city lord were removed and cancelled. Some of the city lords who were unwilling to lose their power had their own ideas and actually planned assassination operations. Many new officials had just arrived at the local area and were assassinated by Hongmen Banquet within a few days. In July, many new officials died tragically, and their deaths were miserable, affecting their families.

You should know that the imperial examination system has not been completely restored at this stage, and there are very few people who can use it in Ye Fei's hands. Officials sent by the central government have been assassinated. In addition to setting off a bad trend across the country, Ye Fei's employment has become more and more nervous. No one will advance his new law, and the local government will collapse and become independent, and the people will enter a state of paralysis.

Three things, three heavy punches, and the new law is criticized and Ye Fei is attacked from both sides. The key now is that the food and salt prices must be stabilized, so that the people can eat and not cause trouble.

In order to reduce the price of salt, Ye Fei activated a person who was a member of the divine organization and was one of the kings named Ye Teng. Like Ye Fei, Ye Teng is an orphan of Rakshasa and the only two successors of the royal bloodline.

When the imperial capital was fought, the eldest prince lost power. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ye Teng left the imperial capital and traveled all over the world, and continued to run around for the restoration of the Rakshasa clan. Later, the battle between good and evil was fought, and his brother drew his sword. Ye Fei was driven out of Ruyang and was disheartened and desperate to establish a divine organization. Ye Teng took the initiative to find Ye Fei and was willing to follow him to seek the restoration of the Rakshasa clan. Ye Fei agreed, and Ye Teng became a member of the divine organization.

After the forging of the iron rings of the kings, Ye Fei handed over the bone dragon ring to Ye Teng and declared that he became the king of death and grief.

Among the kings, Ye Teng is the one with the most murderous intention. He is very willing to kill people, often enjoys killing people, has ruthless methods of doing things, and has a certain connection in the human country. Unlike the kings who appeared before, Ye Teng, the king of death and grief and Ye Fei, is of the same clan, but is not absolutely convinced by Ye Fei, but relies on each other because Ye Fei has the strength to praise him as a leader and is willing to follow him.

The others came for Ye Fei's personal charm. Ye Teng hoped that Ye Fei could restore the country, so he followed him.

In terms of service ability, Ye Teng is definitely one-on-one.

When the new law was difficult to advance, Ye Fei first took Ye Teng into the palace to meet the current emperor, and then issued a government order through the emperor's mouth - appointing Ye Teng as the imperial patrol envoy!

You should know that Ye Teng's identity is not simple. He is the old subordinate of the eldest prince. He has a close relationship with the Murong family, which has not yet completely declined, and is an old acquaintance with many people in the empire. Ye Teng's re-activated means that the Emperor of Apocalypse has sent an important signal that the person I use is to let go of the past.

So what official position is the Imperial Inspection Envoy?

According to the official rank, the Imperial Inspection Envoy is a second-rank official rank, one level lower than the prime minister. In terms of power, the Imperial Inspection Envoy is an extension of the emperor in the local area. He has the sword of the Shangfang, and can deal with decisions on the spot. If necessary, he can even kill the royal relatives without making a memorial. The power is unimaginable. In terms of status, the Imperial Inspection Envoy, like the Prime Minister, can face the holy directly, and is a branch of the Emperor of Heaven. You can understand this way that the Prime Minister coordinates and takes charge of various laws and policies in the court, and is responsible for the appointment and removal of personnel. Whether the Imperial Inspection Envoy’s external supervision policy is in place, if there are any shortcomings, they can make a quick decision to deal with it. The Prime Minister and the Imperial Inspection Envoy, one to the internal and the other to the external, is equivalent to Ye Fei erecting a person who is comparable to him in power.

The appointment of the Imperial Inspection Envoy was completed, and Ye Teng took office and led three thousand troops down the river. His mission was to solve the problems of rising salt and rice prices.

As a member of the Rakshasa tribe, he found the source of power in the border areas. With Ye Teng's strength, it can be said that he would not be assassinated by any forces. Not only that, he also has great means, otherwise the eldest prince would not trust him so much and would be willing to entrust him with important tasks.

Going down the river, the first place Ye Teng went to was called Jinling. The one who received him was Murong Baishi, the leader of the three major families in Jinling City. After briefly reminiscing about the past, Ye Teng passed on Ye Fei's words to the other party.

"First, the Murong family can prosper again in your hands; second, the salt price must be controlled; third, Ye Fei is preparing to establish official salt, and several major local canal transportation can actively choose to be incorporated or resist to the end. Ye Fei, the chief of official salt, thinks Murong Baishi is very suitable, the condition is that the salt price must be lowered to the original level."

Murong Baishi immediately knelt down and was willing to join the leaders of the major canal transport transportation to discuss the matter in Jinling City. Ye Teng agreed.

Many people saw the prosperity of Jinling City, but they didn’t know that the most prosperous Jinling was not only the superficial business, but also the undercurrent of the canal fish gang, etc. These businesses all require force maintenance. When Linghu Xuanzhou was there, it was once very big. Linghu Xuanzhou died, and the canal business gradually declined. Now it can only occupy land as the king. The canal transportation is an important part of the major salt merchants transporting salt. It can be said that the large salt merchants have some canal transportation background.

As the imperial inspector, Ye Teng, the first place he came to along Henan was Jinling, and the first person he found was Murong Baishi. The temptations that must be great for establishing official salt and allowing Murong Baishi, who was not the strongest, to be the leader.

More importantly, Murong Baishi knew very well that if he did not compromise, with Ye Fei and Ye Teng's means, he would definitely be coercive if he didn't make any temptation, and he would die at that time.

Three days later, the leaders of the major Cao gang gathered in Jinling. They sat in Murong Baishi's house, surrounded by a round wooden table with a radius of five meters. The leaders of the Cao gang were all wondering why Murong Baishi was sitting in the main seat and did not see the Imperial Inspection Commander himself. Until the personnel arrived, Ye Teng came out of the door and closed the door with his backhand.

Everyone was sitting and Ye Teng stood, and Ye Teng had the murderous aura that only hunters could have.

No one knew how the secret discussion was carried out. People only saw the result. After the secret discussion, three terrible bodies were lifted out of the closed room. The next day, the price of salt fell. Guanyan was established one month later. Guanyan's chief executive was Murong Baishi, with nine deputy posts, all of whom were the leaders of major grain transport transportation. These people from the gang background were officially incorporated by the government, and everyone made a fortune.

After solving the problem of salt prices, Ye Teng went to Jinzhou, a granary of Renguo without waiting for the official salt to be officially established.

Jinzhou is the largest grain production area in the People's Kingdom. The grain harvest each year accounts for one-fifth of the total output of the Empire. It is located in the central part of the People's Kingdom and is a major transportation route between north and south. The first thing Ye Teng did after coming to Jinzhou was called opening warehouses and releasing grain.

In fact, the people's country has food reserves. These reserved food must be supplied to the army and the empire's senior management, and can also provide relief to the victims at critical moments. Before, Ye Fei issued several consecutive orders. The city lord of Jinzhou refused to release food, and even the chief executive sent to Jinzhou was assassinated. The city lord refused to be transferred to Xindi on the grounds that the current situation is critical.

After Ye Teng came, the city lord even refused to open the city gate, which was very meaningful of armed confrontation.

Ye Teng is not those nerds who are powerless. He directly turned into a firebird and rushed into the city, took off the head of the city lord of Jinzhou and opened the city gate, opened the warehouse and released the grain.

Once grain was released in Jinzhou, the main granaries of the other four empires also began to release grain, and the national grain prices were suddenly defeated, and it did not cause any trouble after all. However, opening grain warehouses and releasing grain was cured by symptoms but not the root cause. To curb the rise in grain prices, it is necessary to fundamentally solve the problem. So Ye Fei issued a government order, announcing the abolition of all local blacksmith shops, and the official establishment of iron cities at fifty locations in the empire, specializing in building sickles, hoes and other agricultural tools, and sold them at low prices through the canal transport channels.

At this point, the food prices have also stabilized.

In less than two months, the salt and grain prices were stabilized one after another. Ye Teng's reputation was unparalleled and almost fought for all the popularity of Ye Fei.

He has a third task, which is to inspect local areas, supervise the establishment of the imperial examination commission site, and supervise the construction of new county government offices.

Ye Teng became Ye Fei's eyeliner and the emperor's eyeliner. Wherever he went, officials would be trembling, walking on thin ice, fearing that he would find something wrong, so that Ye Teng's reputation rose sharply.

When Ye Teng was outside, Ye Fei was not idle either. He announced another law, saying that county officials were assassinated by local officials. Whether the local city lord abdicated or not, the local tribes were killed, and all the tribe leaders of the local aristocratic families were imprisoned and executed.

When this decree was first issued, people thought it was a joke, but when Ye Fei killed nine clans of the two city lords in a row and killed all the clan leaders of the aristocratic families in the two places, people realized the seriousness of the problem and were afraid that no officials appointed by the central government would be assassinated when they came to the local area.

In November of the 13th year of Emperor Tianqi, the situation in the empire returned to stability, and the new policy was strongly promoted, and no one dared to oppose Ye Fei openly.

Seeing that the new policy was promoted smoothly, Ye Feiteng made trouble and began to complete his plan.

He came to the imperial capital to implement the new policy, and the establishment of the Confucian regime was a superficial plan; there was another plan in secret, which was his real purpose.

Ye Fei wanted to find out the mastermind behind the Tongtian Sect and find the inner support of the Tongtian Sect in the imperial capital.

In fact, as early as Ye Fei first entered the city, Monk Jingling came to find him. The two of them were straightforward and showed their trump card directly.

Monk Jingling said: "You can abide by Ye Fei to act recklessly in the imperial capital, as long as you have to pull out the leader of Tongtian for him and uproot it."

Ye Fei agreed, because this was the real purpose of his trip.

The reason why Ye Fei wanted to eradicate the Tongtian Cult was mainly because from the doctrinal perspective, the Tongtian Cult and the Divine Organization were deviant.

In addition to the talisman art, the source of power of the Tongtian Sect is more important than the control of monsters, and even the synthesis of humans and monsters. However, the so-called monsters are the orphans of the ancient gods, and Ye Fei's fellow tribes. To restore the prosperity of the gods, Ye Fei needs to unite the ancient gods together. He cannot allow the Tongtian Sect to continue to conduct inhumane experiments with his tribe members, so Ye Fei must pull out the Tongtian Sect and uproot them.

For this reason, he came to the imperial capital to help Emperor Tianqi, and used this to promote the revival of Confucianism to control the regime, and then complete his real plan.

The Tongtian Sect has always been an organization hidden in the dark, and it is very difficult to find out its mastermind. When he killed the old emperor in the imperial city of the imperial capital, he thought that it was the contemporary leader of the Tongtian Sect, but the Tongtian Sect collapsed. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei was wrong. It turned out that the old emperor was just a puppet pushed to the front desk by the Tongtian Sect, and there were people with more authority hiding in the dark.

In the past, Ye Fei kept wondering who this person is? Who has such great energy to establish? The village helps the Tongtian Sect hide its identity.

Later, Ye Fei figured it out that this person may not be a royal relative, this person must be the closest to the emperor and the easiest to be ignored.

He is a eunuch!

The Tongtian Sect is definitely closely related to the eunuchs in the palace, because the emperor can change the soldiers of the iron camp, but the eunuchs cannot be missing. Almost every emperor has a large group of eunuchs who serve him. Eunuchs can enter and exit the palace freely and give orders on behalf of the emperor, but do things that others dare not think of.

The eunuchs look like money on the surface, but in fact they may be a certain country, because some people are eunuchs on the surface, and may have a more sinister identity behind their backs.

Taking advantage of the implementation of the new policy, Ye Fei checked the list of people in the palace and found that there were three major characteristics hidden in the palace.

First, the eunuchs were all surnamed Liu because they were all godsons of the former eunuch Liu Yi. Second, after Tuoba Lie ascended the throne, the eunuch who was close to him entered the palace to take over the position of eunuch in charge of seals. He thought that the eunuch in the palace would change the dynasty and a new generation would change the old ones. Unexpectedly, the eunuch died soon after, and the person who took over his position was still surnamed Liu. He was one of the godsons of the eunuch Liu Yi, named Liu Xi. I heard that some Taoist practices can protect the emperor's safety. Third, all the palace maids in the palace have to endure inhumane torture every month. They had to fast for two days before menstruation to ensure the purity of menstruation and then be collected by the eunuch. The menstrual blood collected was said to have been used for the emperor to refine medicine, but the quantity was obviously wrong. The emperor only used one or two pieces of medicine, but the eunuchs collected dozens of kilograms of menstruation every month, which was not as good as the quantity.

Every time he entered the palace, Ye Fei deliberately chatted with the eunuchs in the palace for a while. On the surface, in order to get closer to them, he gave some money by the way; in fact, he used this to check whether there were any energy fluctuations on them. What made Ye Fei wonder was that some of these people did have skills, but they were definitely not evil skills of the Tongtian Sect, nor had they ever undergone human-monster fusion. Even Liu Xi, who was around Emperor Tianqi, was just martial arts at most.

Are they just chess pieces placed in the imperial capital by the Tongtian Sect? Or is there another explanation?

Ye Fei could not find the Tongtian Sect's footsteps. At the same time, news kept coming from Cui Lanxuan, and there were no words about the Tongtian Sect, which made it difficult to achieve the wish to find the Tongtian Sect.

However, something happened later and made Ye Fei realize the problem.

The incident happened by chance. Once, a concubine who was a favorite of the emperor was unable to recover from her long illness. Ye Fei could not bear the sadness of Emperor Tianqi, so he recommended himself to enter the harem to treat his concubine. It was difficult for a minister to enter the harem. Every time Ye Fei entered the palace, he had to go directly to the study room to meet the emperor. He could not walk around casually, nor could he enter the residence of the concubines.

This time, he entered the boudoir of the harem because he was diagnosed. He had been here before. He came in when he first came to the imperial capital. He was offering elixirs to the imperial concubine. Today he came again. On the surface, he seemed to take the opportunity to please the emperor, but in fact, Ye Fei also wanted to go to the harem to see if there were any missing places.
To be continued...
