Chapter 299: Eliminate Wang Yin again

To be fair, Guo Wei's handling of Wang Jun was quite generous. Although he was relieved of his position as Privy Councilor, Pinglu Jiedushi, etc., he still made him become Sima of Youzhou and did not take him to the end. ("", watch the latest update of this book)

Wang Jun was very depressed and left Kaifeng Prefecture in a mess, but he was not completely disappointed: Youyan's land had just joined the Great Zhou, and he needed capable ministers to help Guo Wei clean up the situation and impose himself on Youzhou. It may not be Guo Wei's test for him. As long as he can change his past and bow his head to be a human being, he will definitely be able to return to the top leadership of the Great Zhou.

However, although Wang Jun was able to accept this result, it did not mean that other ministers could understand Guo Wei's profound meaning. For example, the governor of Tianxiong Army and the deputy governor of the Tianxiong Army, Wang Yin, was a little sad about Wang Jun's demotion.

It has to be said that as Guo Wei's place of rebellion, Guo Wei has a high influence and high prestige in Yedu. Soon, Wang Yin's abnormal reaction was reported to the newly reorganized Wude Department, and Wude Department immediately handed this information over to Guo Wei Yulan.

When Guo Wei saw the information, he couldn't help but sigh a few times, and was also a little anxious. Wang Yin's position was very important. Guo Wei once issued an order that all troops recruited north of the Yellow River would be controlled by Wang Yin. After Youyan was attached, Yedu became a strong support for the Youyan area. If the Tianxiong army was unstable, the Youyan area would be in chaos! Considering this, Guo Wei immediately summoned Wang Yin's son Feilong envoy Wang Chenghui and ordered him to go to Yedu to tell Wang Yin about Wang Jun's crimes to appease Wang Yin's heart.

However, Guo Wei did not expect that when Wang Yin felt relieved when he saw his son Wang Chenghui coming to Yedu. It seemed that the emperor still valued him very much, and even asked the nameless "protagon" to comfort him. What else was he worried about? So Wang Yin continued to impose excessive taxes on the neighboring Yedu, regardless of Guo Wei's various policies to benefit the people and reduce burdens.

Soon some people could not stand the levy and asked someone to send letters to their children who joined the army, hoping that they could help their families to report the situation. The soldiers who joined the army in Yedu have now reached the level of the best. In addition, they were working in the personal guards, so they quickly reported the situation in Yedu to the emperor.

Guo Wei was very angry about this. You, Wang Yinan, enjoy wealth and honor, why do you still do anything wrong? The soldiers from Yedu are now all the lower-level officers in the army, which is my powerful weapon to control the army. You are now levied heavily on the people of Yedu, and my subordinates will be disloyal to me in the future!

So Guo Wei immediately wrote a letter to Wang Yin to advise him, but in order to give Wang Yin face, the wording of this letter is not severe. (《》, watch the latest update of this book) The general meaning of the letter is: Since I started to fight against Yedu and the Central Plains ascended the throne, the national treasury has sufficient national treasury. Even if I deal with the offenses of the Liao Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty, the military expenditure is ease, and the national treasury will also have a surplus after withdrawing military expenditure. So you just need to collect taxes according to the tax amount in the past. You must not increase taxes on your own, and do not raise additional taxes. You must never let the people complain again!

Wang Yin did not care much about Guo Wei's letters. He disagreed with him and continued to exploit the people as usual, and the people of Yedu complained!

If Wang Yin was just greedy for money, Guo Wei didn't care. He was in charge of the world, and in theory, all the property belonged to the emperor. He rewarded Wang Yin with some of the property in the name of the emperor, and canceled the taxes of the people of Yedu this year, which could win people's hearts and gather morale. No matter how much Wang Yin exploited him, Guo Wei would not be worried!

But somehow, Wang Yin began to mobilize his army and did not report to the Privy Council! Guo Wei was very concerned about this. Yedu was rich in powerful soldiers, but these strong soldiers were all under the control of Wang Yin. The central government could not control it at all. Now the Liao army showed no sign of going south. What exactly did you, Wang Yin, want to do?!

Guo Wei was determined to hit Wang Yin hard. It happened to be Guo Wei's birthday in a few days. The governors from all over the country sent envoys to congratulate him, asking him to come to the court to meet him, and by the way to meet his family who was a magistrate in Kaifeng Prefecture. Wang Yin was no exception. His eldest son Wang Chenghui had already returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, and he didn't know whether he had made some progress in his studies. Several youngest sons had been staying in Kaifeng Prefecture, and he didn't know whether they knew his father. Thinking of this, Wang Yin was very excited and ordered someone to immediately send a memorial requesting the court, looking forward to Guo Wei's approval.

According to common sense, Guo Wei would agree to the memorial of any military governor who was willing to return to Beijing, but here Guo Wei flatly refused Wang Yin's request. Wang Yin did not expect this at all. When he received Guo Wei's approval, he was so eager to lead his son to the suburbs of Kaifeng Prefecture!

Wang Yin was stunned this time. If he entered the city, he would leave the base without hesitation and despise the imperial power; but if he left, he would not be able to leave his parents and family close to him.

After thinking about it, Wang Yin decided to submit a memorial to the court again and request an audience. This time he went to the palace in person and begged Guo Wei for his approval. When Guo Wei received the news, Wang Yin had already led hundreds of cavalrymen to appear on the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture in a dignified manner!

Guo Wei couldn't help but feel suspicious. What did Wang Yin want to do? He actually publicly provoked the majesty of the court! Especially the Wude Department reported that Wang Yin's entourage was all riding tall horses, extremely fierce and extremely powerful in combat! The combat power of these hundreds of cavalry was enough to look down on the three thousand infantry!

The more Guo Wei thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He immediately ordered General Zhuangwu Dong Zunhui to go to greet Wang Yin's troops and arranged them to the barracks of the guards' personal army to facilitate the guards' personal army to monitor and prevent them.

But Wang Yin was used to being in Yedu City and didn't care about Kaifeng's ban at all. He actually led his troops back to his home in Kaifeng's throne and refused Dong Zunhui's guidance.

According to the edict issued before the New Year, this is already suspected of being illegal and fatal. But Wang Yin felt that he and the emperor used to be a good friend, and now the emperor relied on himself to control the Tianxiong Army; and Wang Jun was recently demoted, Guo Wei would definitely be kind to others to avoid fear of everyone! After thinking about this, the emperor would definitely be lenient to him and he didn't need to be polite to Dong Zunhui at all!

So Wang Yin ordered the guards to knock out the Dong Zunhui stick. Although the guards were arrogant, they did not dare to move the stick to Dong Zunhui casually. They respectfully informed Dong Zunhui of the situation, and then hoped that he could leave on his own initiative.

It was useless to say more about the situation in front of him. Dong Zunhui left Wang Yin's mansion and immediately went to the palace to meet him. At this time, the emperor also received a notice from the Wude Department. He was very satisfied with Dong Zunhui who reported according to the facts, and was also very angry with the arrogant Wang Yin.

Guo Wei said to Dong Zunhui: "It would be great if the governors in the world were like you, and I wouldn't have to be a villain every day!"

Dong Zunhui quickly kowtowed and replied, "Your Majesty cares about the people and wishes he could do everything himself. Only then can he work hard. If the governors in the world can learn about Your Majesty's love for the people by one-tenth of your heart, the people will be very lucky and the world will be very lucky!"

Guo Wei smiled slightly: "You are really sloppy, and you can't forget to flatter. What do you think I should deal with Wang Yin?"

Dong Zunhui hurriedly said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. Your Majesty will not allow outsiders to interfere in the dealings with Wang Yin. Everything is to obey Your Majesty's holy judgment!"

Guo Wei smiled and said, "Today, there are only you and me in this hall. You can also clear my character. Now you can speak freely without worrying!"

Dong Zunhui thought for a while and whispered: "In the eyes of me, although Wang Yin has many illegal things, his rebellion has not yet appeared, so it is not easy to punish too much. However, Wang Yin is unruly, and staying in Yedu can easily lead to disasters. The court should change his posts to him, which is also a fulfillment for him."

Guo Wei nodded repeatedly, and Dong Zunhui kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty just dealt with Lord Wang Xiufeng (Wang Jun) a few days ago. If Your Majesty deals with Lord Wang Yin more today, everyone in the world will be in danger and be dissatisfied with the Great Zhou Dynasty! Of course, Your Majesty can definitely consider these things carefully. I am just reminding Your Majesty."

Guo Wei smiled slightly. What Dong Zunhui said was very reasonable. Whether it was from public opinion or personal relationships, Guo Wei should not execute Wang Yin, but demoted him. Looking at Dong Zunhui, who was very magnanimous, Guo Wei asked with a smile: "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but Wang Yin will carry hundreds of strong cavalry as guards every time he travels. Is there any way for you to not use weapons and let Wang Yin submit!"

Dong Zunhui scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he didn't think it out. He was sweating all the time. Guo Wei then said proudly: "Daoan, if I were the master and you were the disciple, you would have to learn too much knowledge! I can meet with King Xuan of Yin, the military and political affairs of Yedu, and arrest him in the palace. As for his guards, even if they were extremely elite, they would not be a dozen times the opponent of their guards, my Dazhou guards?!"

In fact, Dong Zunhui was not helpless. He had actually thought of this countermeasure for a long time, but as a minister, acting too smart is not a good thing, especially when facing an emperor who is good at being a teacher!

On the second day, Guo Wei summoned Wang Yin in the Zide Hall to discuss military and political affairs in Yedu. Wang Yin immediately brought hundreds of elite cavalrymen to the palace.

Facing the palace, Wang Yin did not dare to be negligent, nor did he dare to lead the crowd into the city. He gave a general order and went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor alone. So not long after, Wang Yin was taken down by the guards on duty and secretly sent to the imperial prison. As for Wang Yin's hundreds of cool guards, they threw down their weapons under the shock of the guards' personal archers and surrendered!

Afterwards, Guo Wei removed Wang Yin from all positions and sent him to Dengzhou. As for Wang Yin's property in Yedu, all of them were confiscated into the national treasury.

Wang Yin did not learn from his lesson. He was complaining and was soon reported to him again. On the way to Dengzhou, he was secretly killed by several royal guards!
