In the end, Yuan Ye was assigned a healer as he wished.

It was placed in a large wooden barrel, and a head was exposed from the lid.

A small fire was burning under the wooden barrel.

This was evaporating all the poison in Yuan Ye's body.

"My dear minister, you are really too silly. I didn't say that I blame you.”

Emperor Taikang stood in front of the wooden barrel and said to the pale and weak Yuan Ye with heartache.

"Your Majesty, I have sinned greatly."

Yuan Ye sighed and said to Emperor Taikang.

"Alright, I said that you are not guilty.

No matter who impeaches you, I will protect you.

Now, recuperate well."

Emperor Taikang waved his hand and said to Yuan Ye.

"But this minister has gone too far this time.”

Yuan Ye said.

"Not too much, not too much at all.”

"Alright, I will think of a way to appease the Jia family and the four families of Jinling.

You don't have to worry about this."

Emperor Taikang waved his hand and said to Yuan Ye.

"Your Majesty, there are only three families left from the four great families in Jinling. The Xue family has already caused them to be estranged from the Jia family.

Now that the Wang family was busy taking care of themselves, the only ones left were the Shi family, the Jia family, and the Zhen family, which had been on good terms with the Jia family for generations.”

Yuan Ye forced a smile and said to Emperor Taikang.

"Oh? What happened?"

Emperor Taikang asked Yuan Ye with interest.

"It's like this, Madam Wang of the Jia family..."

Yuan Ye then deduced Madam Wang's running pattern.

Finally, with Concubine Xue as a witness, the Xue family and the Jia family could be considered to be at loggerheads.

"It was precisely because I wanted to save the Xue family from the Jia family that I brought a gift to the Jia family. Your Majesty also knew what happened after that.”

Yuan Ye didn't hide anything and started to explain for Emperor Taikang.

"So this is the reason why you took half a catty of pork as a gift to the Jia family?”

Emperor Taikang clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Yuan Ye with a strange expression.

"Ahem, there's a reason for that. I just joined the company and haven't received my salary yet. What father-in-law gave me is for my wedding, and what His Majesty gave me is for my family, so I can't afford any good gifts.”

"However, Your Majesty, this subject will give Your Majesty 550,000 taels in return.”

Emperor Taikang's words made Yuan Ye blush.

However, Yuan Ye's face was also unique. Although he was embarrassed, he still changed the topic and said to Emperor Taikang.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand!

Was this true?

Where will the money come from?"

Emperor Taikang was immediately excited when he heard that.

He hurriedly asked Yuan Ye.

Right now, the national treasury was empty, and he needed money everywhere. Even though five hundred thousand taels of silver could not satisfy his burning need, it could at least relieve some of the pressure on Happy.?

"Of course, the Xue clan wants to break away from the Jia clan, so this official brought them out as revenge for 550,000 taels of silver.

Otherwise, all the money and people of the Xue family would have to be given to the Jia family.

They agreed, and I brought Xue Baochai to the Jia family.”

Yuan Ye said to Emperor Taikang seriously.

"Good!"

"Alright!

That's right, beloved minister, you've done me another favor.

How about this, since this money was earned by my beloved minister, my beloved minister will leave 50,000 taels as a reward.”

Emperor Taikang happily said to Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart. This was the money I gave you, and you took out a portion of it as a reward.

He was really capable.

However, Yuan Ye still smiled and said to Emperor Taikang,"Your Majesty, the Imperial Court is currently short of money, and this Qian Chen is not taking a single cent.

In the future, when the Imperial Court becomes rich, it won't be too late to reward me!”

Yuan Ye said to Emperor Taikang with a smile.

"My dear minister, you…

Alright, I'll take it that I owe you.

In the future, I will compensate you double."

Emperor Taikang said to Yuan Ye.

He wanted to pat Yuan Ye's shoulder and sigh, but he only showed his head and retracted his hand.

………

The next day…

Yuan Ye rested in the palace for the night.

The great favor of the emperor made all the officials sigh with emotion.

The ministers who originally thought that they would criticize Yuan Ye because of his arrogance and ignorance had decided to wait and see.

However, the Jia, Shi, and Wang Clans were not prepared to give up just like that.

The Jia family had Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and the ministers who had received the Jia family's favor. As for Jia Zhen, who was now a third-grade Noble, the Shi family still preserved their strength.

Although the Wang Clan had fallen, Wang Ziteng's position did not mean that Wang Ziteng was the only official in the Wang Clan.

Wang Ziteng was merely the pillar of the Wang Clan.

There were still people in the Wang family who were officials.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Ye, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, barged into Rong Mansion yesterday. Not only did he wantonly beat people up, but he also killed many servants of Rong Mansion. What's more, he even beat up my mother, wife, son, brother, nephew, and minister.

Your Majesty, please show mercy and stand up for the Rong Mansion.”

As soon as the morning court session started, Jia Zheng stood up and fired the first shot.

"Your Majesty, our Rong and Ning Manors were left behind by our ancestors who risked their lives for the descendants of our Jia Clan. Now, that Assistant Minister of Works, Yuan Ye, has wantonly killed our Jia Clan, causing our Rong and Ning Manors to suffer great humiliation and losses.

You've caused our two Manors to lose face.

Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Jia Zhen also followed Jia Zheng and read Yuan Ye's book.

However, as the protagonist, Yuan Ye was lying on the bed, enjoying the delicacies and the service of the little palace maids.

"Yes!

Any more?"

Emperor Taikang sat on the dragon throne expressionlessly and said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Yuan Ye is deceiving the world to gain fame and act recklessly as the new top scorer. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to issue a decree to revoke Yuan Ye's fame and send him to the imperial prison to await punishment.”

Wang Zhen of the Wang family stood out and said righteously to Emperor Taikang.

"Your Majesty, this Yuan Ye is too arrogant. Ever since he became the top scorer in high school, he has been acting recklessly without restraint. Moreover, he has become more and more impudent each time he does things. This subject feels that Yuan Ye's entire family should be executed. Otherwise, it will not be enough to appease the public's anger.”

Then, the Shi family's people stood out and said to Emperor Taikang.

"His Majesty feels that Yuan Ye should be handed over to the Supreme Court for a trial.”

"Your Majesty, it's better to hand it over to the Ministry of Justice.”

"It is only right to hand it over to Shuntian Prefecture for trial.”

Following that, a large group of officials stood out and begged Emperor Taikang.

"I…I heard that the four families of Jinling will rise and fall together. As expected, the four families are in trouble and their power cannot be underestimated.

Hmph, if I leave a day earlier, I will uproot all of you.”

Emperor Taikang was still expressionless, but he was furious.

Forming cliques for personal gain was no different from forcing the abdication in disguise.

Which emperor could endure being forced to abdicate?

After all, if the words of the officials were more effective than the emperor, then what was the point of being the emperor who held power?

His words were like farting.

If that powerful official wanted to be the emperor, he would probably change the dynasty with just a word.

"Yes, that's right. Minister Yuan went overboard this time.

But yesterday, Zhen had already summoned Minister Yuan into the palace and severely reprimanded her…"

………

The author will definitely improve on the valuable suggestions of the readers.

He also thanked the big shots for their gifts, flowers, evaluation tickets, and monthly votes.
