Chapter 203: Another Title
Chen Dong took a deep breath, and all his worries and pressure were released instantly.
He lit a cigarette and took a long drag.
Cigarettes, alcohol, meat, women and power, this is the fucking life.
The only flaw was that Yan Yunzheng adhered to the bottom line and prevented Chen Dong from breaking in.
Every time he tried to get in front of the door, he was mercilessly rejected.
Oh, proud woman!
Sooner or later you will cry!
Chen Dong was drunk, and after putting out his cigarette, he fell into a deep sleep.
Before dawn, Chen Dong was awakened by Yan Yunzheng.
Chen Dong said lazily: "What's wrong? Do you want to do morning exercises?"
Yan Yunzheng said with a painful expression: "Stop making fun of me. I...I'm having my period."
Chen Dong was shocked to see Yan Yunzheng's pale face, his expression twisted with pain, and cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
He immediately asked Yan Yunzheng to lie down and took out a silver needle to acupuncture Yan Yunzheng's acupuncture points.
After a few injections, Yan Yunzheng's expression eased a lot.
"Women are such trouble." Yan Yunzheng couldn't help but complain.
Chen Dong was speechless.
During those few days in a month, not only him, but even a god would be unable to do anything.
"Why didn't you tell me before? Why did you just endure it?" Chen Dong asked.
Yan Yunzheng uttered a soft "hmm".
"Don't work so hard. I'll make some medicine for you later." Chen Dong said.
Yan Yunzheng shook his head, "It's too late, let's go to court first."
Faced with Yan Yunzheng, a woman who has been strong all her life, Chen Dong has no choice but to use his massage skills.
I massaged her for a while and it made her feel less painful.
Yan Yunzheng took the initiative to hug Chen Dong and said sincerely: "Thank you for everything you have done for me."
Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
Where there is a golden city, gold and stone will open.
Even a piece of stone can be warmed up by heating it, let alone a living person.
…………
All officials gathered in the council hall.
Just after Yan Yunzheng announced several appointments, someone jumped out impatiently.
"Your Majesty, I have a report to make. The killings carried out by the Jinyiwei in Jiangzhou have caused public outrage. The people of Jiangzhou have written a petition in blood, demanding that the Jinyiwei be severely punished."
"Your Majesty, I have also received news that the Jinyiwei in Qingzhou have also raised their butcher knives and massacred thousands of civilians!"
"Your Majesty, there is also Yangzhou..."
One by one, the officials stepped forward, pointed their swords at the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and bombarded Chen Dong.
Chen Dong had anticipated this, and said calmly, "My Lords, you are really thoughtful. You are so concerned about the affairs of the Jinyiwei."
"Then I wonder if you all know what those people who were killed by the Jinyiwei did?"
Several people looked at each other, and someone shouted: "The Jinyiwei are very good at fabricating charges. They can find excuses to accuse someone of a crime!"
Chen Dong chuckled, "Fabricating charges? When we, the Jinyiwei, investigate cases, we value evidence over confessions. Every case we handle is backed by irrefutable evidence!"
"We will never let a bad guy go, and we will never wrongly accuse a good guy. This is the principle of my Jinyiwei in handling cases."
"If you gentlemen do not believe me, I will go get the file now and ask you to take a look at it."
"However, I would like to make a bet with you all first. I won't bet on anything else, but on this head. Who dares?"
Chen Dong shouted loudly, scanning the entire audience with a stern gaze.
That gaze was as sharp as a sword. No one dared to look Chen Dong in the eye. Even those people who had just accused the Jinyiwei shut their mouths.
Seeing this, Chen Dong snorted disdainfully.
A group of people looked down on him as a eunuch, but when it came to the critical moment, they all shrank their balls and were no match for him as a eunuch.
At the critical moment, someone stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei have killed too many people after all. They need to be punished to give an explanation to the people of the world." Cao Ning said righteously.
The ministers looked at each other and felt a little strange.
Cao Ning has always been Chen Dong's lackey, why did he change his personality this time?
When someone stood up, others immediately followed, especially those adults who had just criticized Chen Dong.
"Minister Cao is absolutely right!"
"Your Majesty should severely punish the Jinyiwei to set things right!"
Yan Yunzheng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Minister Cao's words make sense. I have decided to fine all Jinyiwei who participated in this incident for one year and remove all their official positions. Commander Chen Dong will be fined for three years and demoted one rank."
"Yes, sir!" Chen Dong said in a deep voice.
Rank doesn't matter to Chen Dong, and the salary is even less important.
It doesn't matter to his brothers.
As long as you are still wearing the clothes of the Jinyiwei, no one dares to mess with you!
Chen Dong gave Cao Ning an admiring look.
Cao Ning immediately smiled back.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Only then did they realize that they had been tricked by His Majesty, Chen Dong and Cao Ning!
Cao Ning was not trying to deal with Chen Dong at all, but was trying to give Chen Dong a way out.
Your Majesty is not trying to severely punish Chen Dong, but just wants to silence the public.
Many people cursed in their hearts, "Cao is a dog leg!"
"Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. Although the Jinyiwei killed many people, they also played an immeasurable role in the implementation of the new policy. This autumn harvest, a total of 30 million shi of autumn grain was collected!"
As soon as Yan Yunzheng finished speaking, it was like a huge rock crashing down, and everyone was shocked.
Thirty million stones!
"This is impossible, the Royal Guards must have lied!"
"Emperor Mingzong was at the height of Yan's national power, but he only harvested 15 million shi. Thirty million shi is simply a fantasy!"
"Your Majesty, this must be a lie that Chen Dong came up with to escape punishment. I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"
"This is a crime of deceiving the emperor! Your Majesty must be severely punished!"
People who were already dissatisfied with Chen Dong's power began to question Chen Dong and the contributions of the Jinyiwei.
They want to wipe out this great achievement!
Chen Dong sneered and said, "Just because you gentlemen can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it. Here are the memorials submitted by the various prefectures. Please take a look."
Chen Dong was well prepared for this.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I don't know how many people and how many pairs of eyes are staring at him.
Thirty million shi of grain is not a small number.
It will definitely make people jealous.
The memorials with seals from the governors of various states were his shield.
The memorials were circulated among people.
When they saw the seals of the governors of each state, everyone shut up.
Even though the Jinyiwei were extremely powerful, they could not put a knife to the necks of the governors of various states and force them to write this memorial. The only explanation is that the memorial was true, and the 30 million shi of grain were also real!
Everyone was silent.
Cao Ning reacted the fastest and said immediately: "The Jinyiwei have made great contributions and deserve a reward, a big reward!"
All the ministers glared at Cao Ning.
It would have been fine if he had just been trying to find a way out for Chen Dong, but now he is openly asking for a reward from Chen Dong. This "Cao Dog Leg" is a real dog!
Yan Yunzheng said in a deep voice: "What Minister Cao said makes sense. Chen Dong supported the new policy and made sure it was implemented smoothly, which resulted in an autumn grain harvest of 30 million dan, greatly enriching the national treasury. It also laid the foundation for coordinating disaster relief in the future and sending troops to the north in the spring. The national treasury will be abundant next year, and the court can vigorously develop livelihood projects to improve people's lives."
"Chen Dong, your contribution is great!"
"I have decided to confer him the title of Earl of Yucheng!"
