Facing Deng Xilong's anger, Chen Yuan remained as calm as water.
"Deng Xilong, do you know what your son calls himself?"
"What do you call yourself?"
"Your son calls himself me, and these women are his harem, named queens, concubines and beauties. Isn't this rebellion?"
These titles are all based on the titles of the emperor's harem.
Deng Xilong directly denied: "These are all your one-sided words and are purely slander."
Of course it is impossible for Deng Xilong to admit it. To admit it would be to admit treason.
Although he didn't know what Deng Xiangshou did, the crime of treason is punishable by annihilation of the clan, whether you know it or not.
Seeing that Deng Xilong refused to admit it, Chen Yuan did not panic at all: "You know whether it is slander or not, and I have my own evidence. After I hand it over to the emperor, we will see if the emperor thinks that I am slandering you like you do.
"
Chen Yuan's move directly hit Deng Xilong's weakness.
Regarding matters such as rebellion, the emperor has always been more willing to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
As long as Chen Yuan brings this matter to Luoyang, the Deng family will be finished.
Thinking of this, Deng Xilong's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
As long as these people are killed, no one will know.
Deng Xilong did not hesitate and shouted directly: "Do it!"
The next moment, the military register that had been floating above his head turned into a huge dharma image and rolled towards Chen Yuan.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. As long as Chen Yuan can be captured, today's crisis will be solved.
Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
How could Chen Yuan, a person who was so afraid of death, put himself in danger?
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.
Chen Yuan had already secretly sent a message to Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai and Qin Jie to pay close attention to Deng Xilong and immediately besiege him once he made a move.
Therefore, as soon as Deng Xilong moved his troops, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai and Qin Jie arrived to attack.
One is of the first grade, three are of the second grade, and one is of the third grade.
This lineup directly crushed Deng Xilong.
The military register is certainly powerful, but who is Lu Bu?
The Marquis of Wen, Lu Bu, was incomparable in the world, and his talents were praised all over the world.
When it comes to fighting skills, Lu Bu's strength may be the best in the world.
Before the other powerful people in Nanyang could use their treasures, five attacks directly shattered the light of the military register above Deng Xilong's head.
Then Lu Bu stretched out his big hand and directly captured Deng Xilong.
Good guy, now let Chen Yuan capture the thief and capture the king first.
When Deng Xilong fell into Chen Yuan's hands, the others were immediately frightened and wanted to attack in groups.
Chen Yuan glanced at them: "Do you want to perish with the Deng family?"
Everyone immediately began to hesitate again.
Deng Xilong was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Take action quickly, otherwise things will change if you wait too long."
Everyone was still a little hesitant.
Because if we take action now, we will be completely tied to the Deng family.
They didn't believe what Chen Yuan said about Deng Xiangshou's rebellion.
But they still believed this guy's harem seal.
Because Deng Xiangshou was originally a sex demon.
Maybe, he really wanted to indulge in the emperor's harem.
But this is rebellion.
Arrogating the title of concubine in the harem is not treason, but something else.
Only the emperor has this right.
As long as you do this, no matter whether you have the intention of treason or not, it is treason.
So, they hesitated.
Deng Xilong knew that there was no room for retreat now.
These people must be tied to the Deng family.
"Do you think Chen Yuan will let you go if you don't take action now? You idiots, even if Chen Yuan lets you go now, he will still have to deal with you sooner or later. Why don't you take action quickly and kill all these people?
, we turned the crisis around."
When everyone heard what Deng Xilong said, they were ready to take action again.
Logically speaking, Chen Yuan should have knocked Deng Xilong out directly. Once he was knocked out, he would not encourage the remaining people.
But Chen Yuan didn't, and instead asked Deng Xilong to speak.
Chen Yuan has his own plan.
Seeing that these people wanted to take action again, Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Why, you really want to be completely tied to the Deng family. Think about the consequences carefully. You can't turn back from this action."
After saying that, Chen Yuan added another sentence: "By the way, there is one of my disciples outside the valley who has not come in. He knows everything about this. You must think clearly. If you think you can fight against the state capital,
A hundred thousand troops and many first-level masters can take action to keep us here."
"However, if you want to keep us, I'm afraid you have to kill a few of your back-ups. After all, our strength is not weak, right? Have you figured out who will be our back-ups?"
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, the remaining Nanyang heroes began to hesitate again.
Chen Yuan also did not want to eradicate all the powerful people in Nanyang. That would be unrealistic and would also cause violent turmoil in Nanyang.
Because the powerful Nanyang has touched every aspect of Nanyang.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's plan is to destroy the Deng family and scare others into cooperating with the state capital.
Immigrate, open up wasteland, and do business.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Chen Yuan said again: "If you can draw a clear line with the Deng family, I promise that I will never implicate you. As long as you cooperate with the various policies and measures of the state government in the future, the state government will treat you fairly.
how?"
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, these people were moved.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan once again increased the stakes: "Destroy the Deng family and the benefits will be equally divided."
This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Deng Xilong knew that the Deng family was finished.
The other Nanyang heroes asked: "Don't you take this statement seriously?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, they felt relieved.
People in this era attach great importance to promises. If anyone breaks a promise, it will be social death.
Especially for a person with high authority like Chen Yuan, if he breaks his promise, he will be doomed.
There is nothing left to say about the rest.
Everyone left the valley together and killed the Deng family members first to prevent them from leaking the news.
Then they returned to Wancheng with Deng Xilong, Deng Xiangshou and the queens, concubines and beauties whom Deng Xiangshou had ennobled.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan held a public trial of Deng Xiangshou in Wancheng and made public what he had done.
The purpose of this is not only to destroy the reputation of the Deng family, but more importantly, to damage the reputation of Nanyang's powerful people.
After that, the Taishou Mansion, together with other Nanyang powerful men, began to eradicate the Deng family.
The process was very smooth. The powerful people in Nanyang have been together for hundreds of years and know each other well.
They basically know about the strength of the Deng family.
The remaining things that the Deng family tried so hard to hide also broke out on this day.
In the end, when the Deng family was besieged.
The Deng family exploded with two first-level combat prowess.
But even so, the Deng family did not escape the consequences of destruction.
However, Chen Yuan did not massacre all the Deng family.
Instead, they were screened, and different punishments were imposed according to the severity of the evil deeds, completely in accordance with the laws of the imperial court.
Moreover, Chen Yuan also discovered a talent among them.
Deng Xiangshou’s son, Deng Zhi.
After thinking about it, Chen Yuan accepted Deng Zhi as his apprentice.
The reason for this is very simple. Chen Yuan does not want talents like Deng Zhi to be ruined because of the drag of his family.
If he didn't accept him as his disciple, Deng Zhi would definitely not be able to stand out as he did in history because of the Deng family.
Therefore, Chen Yuan accepted Deng Zhi as his apprentice.
However, Chen Yuan had no time to teach him now, so he asked someone to escort Deng Zhi and his mother back to Xiangyang first. They are now studying in the academy and will teach after he returns from Xiangyang.
It took more than ten days for the Deng family's affairs to be completely settled.
Because the Deng family has clansmen and fields and manors all over Nanyang, there are even Deng family members in other states and counties who are traveling, doing business and serving as officials.
It is possible to completely wipe out the Deng family.
And not everyone in the Deng family has to be killed.
There are still some good people.
The Deng family in Nanyang had almost enough to clean up, and the rest could not make any big waves.
After the Deng family's affairs were almost settled, Chen Yuan summoned all the remaining Nanyang powerful men to the Prefect's Mansion.
Chen Yuan was not polite at all: "I call you here today. I have several things to inform you."
"First, from now on, no more land is allowed to be annexed. If any family annexes land again, they will be killed without mercy."
"Second, immediately implement the three major policies of the state government. Anyone who dares to neglect will be killed without mercy."
"Third, all powerful landowners in Nanyang must join the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce. From now on, your main focus will be on business and trade."
After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan looked at everyone: "Who agrees and who opposes?"
Everyone looked very ugly for a moment.
This is poaching their flesh and drinking their blood.
I wanted to resist, but it was too late.
Because in order to frighten them, Chen Yuan threatened Liu Bei again.
At this time, the situation in Nanyang has completely fallen into Chen Yuan's control.
The situation is stronger than people, and people have to bow their heads under the roof.
In addition, their plan to attack the government was directly defeated by the Jingzhou Army who had sneaked into the counties earlier.
Thousands of people were arrested and the most guilty ones were selected and killed.
As for the tax arrears, there is no time to deal with them.
In desperation, everyone could only agree.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan did not kill them all and gave each powerful family a quota of three officials.
Of course, it is impossible to become an official in Nanyang, either to Jiangxia or to the four counties of Jingnan.
Chen Yuan is also mixing sand into this.
At this point, the matter in Nanyang was completely settled.
Qin Jie, Guo Youzhi, Chen Zhen and Wei Yan are naturally responsible for the rest.
After screening the hundreds of women who were rescued, some were moved to the four counties of Jingnan, and some were selected by the Jinfeng Guard to become members of the Jinfeng Guard.
After the Nanyang incident was resolved, Chen Yuan continued north to Luoyang.
This time, Chen Yuan's team grew stronger.
Mainly because Chen Yuan wanted to escort taxes to Beijing, so he selected a thousand soldiers to protect him.
Chen Yuan traveled very quickly and did not go sightseeing again.
Marching all the way, covering hundreds of miles every day.
A few days later, we arrived in Luoyang.
Looking at the tall city walls of Luoyang, Chen Yuan felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
When I came here for the first time, I came with that nasty eunuch.
I almost made myself sick to death.
However, at that time, I was just a small chief clerk, but now I am a powerful military advisor in Jingzhou, a military advisor, a lieutenant general, and a rank as high as two thousand shi.
Zuo Feng must die!
Yes, Chen Yuan came to Luoyang this time just to kill Zuo Feng.
Not only because he coveted Chen Yuan, but more importantly, he was the middleman for Chen Yuan to bribe the eunuchs on behalf of Liu Bei.
As long as Zuo Feng is eliminated, no one can prove that Liu Bei bribed eunuchs.
Strictly speaking, this is black history.
It was a last resort at the time.
Now, Chen Yuan wants to erase this dark history.
Otherwise, once this thunder breaks out in the future, it will have a huge impact on Liu Bei.
Let a thousand soldiers be temporarily stationed outside the city, and Chen Yuan led his men to find Da Sinong.
Da Sinong was one of the Nine Qings and one of the important ministers of the imperial court.
Da Si Nong is in charge of Qiangu, and is responsible for collecting land rents, cutting taxes, calculation of taxes, allowances, extra taxes, excessive changes, calculation of minions and other taxes. He is also engaged in the production and sale of salt, iron and wine, and is engaged in equalization, equalization, etc.
It is responsible for commercial activities, management of water transportation and allocation of materials, and responsible for the salaries of state officials, military and government expenses and other financial expenses.
In short, Da Si Nong is equivalent to the combination of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Commerce.
Except for the Shaofu, which manages the royal property, all remaining taxation and commercial activities are under the jurisdiction of Da Si Nong, who holds a high position of power.
And today's Great Sinong is Cao Cao's father, Cao Song.
Yes, you read that right, Cao Song hasn't spent money to buy a Taiwei yet.
Now we know why Cao Cao was fine after killing Jian Shuo's uncle, because he was a second-generation official.
My father is a great minister, one of the Nine Qings, a high-ranking official, or even higher.
The three ministers and nine ministers are the core officials of the imperial court.
The emperor manages the world with the help of the three ministers and nine ministers.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan's relationship with Cao Cao is not good now.
As Cao Cao's old father, Cao Song loved his son very much, so when Cao Song learned that it was Chen Yuan who escorted the tax collectors from Jingzhou to Beijing, he couldn't help but show a cold look on his face.
Cao Song was a man of average ability, and he had no overall view or strategic view. He had no ability to discern current affairs, and he lacked acumen.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chopped down in Xuzhou.
When facing Chen Yuan, he still maintained his identity as an important official of the imperial court. For Chen Yuan who was against his son, he naturally wanted to teach Chen Yuan a lesson.
After thinking for a while, Cao Song ordered: "Just let Chen Yuan come in, and the rest of the people will wait outside the door."
A servant went out to deliver the message.
Chen Yuan frowned when he heard that Da Sinong actually let him in alone.
This is obviously making things difficult for myself.
But that shouldn’t be the case, I’m here to give money.
The imperial court is extremely poor now, so even if I don't serve as a gift to the rich man, I should at least entertain him well.
What is going on now?
Could it be said that this great Sinong had a grudge against Jingzhou or against himself?
Chen Yuan didn't know that the current Great Sinong was Cao Song.
He only knew that Cao Song spent money to buy Taiwei. As for his previous official position, who would care about it.
