On this side, the group led by Yu Shiji was speechless.
It could only be said that Yang Ye and Yang Guang were really carved out of the same mold.
However, if Yang Guang wanted to harm them, he would harm those commoners. It was not their turn.
Yang Ye was good. This extortion directly hit them on the head.
As the saying goes, promotion and wealth.
Yu Shiji and the others were officials for fame and fortune.
The money that had entered their pockets, even the heavens could not make them spit it out.
What's more, it was Yang Ye whom they wanted to get rid of.
Yang Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at the silent crowd. The smile on his face gradually disappeared."Why? Are you all unwilling?”
Yang Ye's gaze lingered on the faces of His Highness 'ministers.
The ministers felt a chill run down their backs.
A moment later, Yang Ye pointed his spearhead at Yu Shiji."Minister Yu, you are the leader of the civil officials, the role model of all officials.”
"Tell me, are you willing?"
Yu Shiji's expression stiffened, and he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Yang Ye had caught a sheep like him to pull wool from?
He stammered and could not say anything for a long time."I, I…"
Yang Ye's gaze was stern, and he didn't even blink."After hesitating for so long, Minister Yu is unwilling?”
Under Yang Ye's death gaze, Yu Shiji was drenched in cold sweat in an instant.
Even though he hated her so much, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it."I am willing!"
"Are you willing?" Yang Ye suddenly laughed,"But Minister Yu seems to be very reluctant?"”
"After all, I am not a tyrant. Minister Yu, if you really don't want to, don't force yourself.”
Although Yang Ye was smiling, Yu Shiji felt more pressured than before.
"I'm willing, I'm willing!" Gritting his teeth, Yu Shiji hurriedly nodded."To share the burdens of the king."
"Since the Great Sui is in trouble, I will naturally be generous for my subjects.”
Yang Ye laughed and nodded. Minister Yu was indeed a loyal and patriotic minister!”
After saying that, he stared at Yu Shiji quietly."I wonder how much Minister Yu is willing to pay?”
Yu Shiji was silent for a long time. Then, he raised a finger hesitantly." I'm willing, willing to donate 1,000…"
"No, no, no. Ten thousand strings to fund the national treasury.”
Under Yang Ye's repeated gaze, Yu Shiji said this number with a heartache.
However, just as he finished speaking.
"Ten thousand strings?" Yang Ye smiled again." I heard that a few days ago, Minister Yu hosted a banquet for the ministers on her 60th birthday. It cost no less than 50,000 strings."”
"Why is it that when it comes to donating to the national treasury, it's just 10,000 strings.”
Yang Ye said word by word, his tone turning cold,"You are looking down on me, looking down on Great Sui!？”
Before he could finish, Yu Shiji was already covered in cold sweat.
He had no choice but to say helplessly,""Then I will donate five…"
"Huh?"
Yang Ye glared again.
Yu Shiji was so scared that he could only change his words. I donate 100,000 strings!"
In an instant, Yang Ye laughed loudly." I was just joking with you. Minister Yu is actually so generous?"”
"100,000 strings, what a huge sum!"
Yu Shiji's face darkened, and his mouth quivered. He almost fell over." Everything is for Great Sui…"
Yang Ye watched coldly and only smiled lightly.
Then, he turned to look at the other officials who were trembling.
100,000!
One had to know that Great Sui's annual tax revenue was only a little over a million copper coins…
Yang Ye's demand was equivalent to a tenth of Great Sui's annual tax revenue.
Although, they might be able to take it out…
However, his heart ached!
Hence, wherever Yang Ye's gaze passed, all the ministers lowered their heads.
"Minister Yu, as an example, donated 100,000 yuan."
"I don't know. How much do the other beloved ministers 'want' to donate?"”
Yang Ye's smile was very "nuclear".
"I am willing to pay 50,000 strings!"
"I also bid 50,000!"
"This lowly subject offers 20,000."
“……”
Under Yang Ye's 'nuclear' gaze.
Other than a few ministers who were truly clean, Yang Ye did not ask them to donate.
The rest of the ministers donated at least five thousand strings.
At this moment, the total donation had already exceeded one million strings!
It was enough to pay a year's worth of tax in Great Sui!
As for how these people got their money, it was naturally self-evident.
Looking at the group of people below the stage, Yang Ye laughed,"My dear ministers, you are truly loyal to your country.”
Hearing Yang Ye's sarcastic tone, the group of people actually couldn't find anything to refute.
After a moment of silence, Yang Ye continued,""Beloved ministers, do you have anything else to report?”
When everyone present heard this, they could not help but tremble.
This time, Yang Ye wouldn't be up to any more tricks, right?
However, things did not go as he wished.
After Yang Ye said that, Chang Yuchun stepped forward,""Your Majesty, I still have something to report!”
Again?
Looking at the burly Chang Yuchun in front of them, everyone wanted to kneel down in front of him.
This first time had already made them bleed.
If they did it again, wouldn't they lose their lives?？
Then, when Chang Yuchun said his next sentence, their expressions changed even more.
"Your Majesty, according to the secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. There seemed to be people in various places in Luoyang who had forged the Retired Emperor's edict and were preparing to gather a crowd to rebel!”
In an instant, the eyes of Yu Shiji and the others widened completely.
They confirmed that Chang Yuchun was really here to kill them!
