Now everyone can see that Jiajing is once again thinking about overthrowing Yan, and this time he is more determined than the Zhejiang City case.
A series of cases in Zhejiang City also made Jiajing determined to overthrow Yan Song. However, although Yan Song could not control his subordinates at that time, he was old and still intimidated them. In addition, there was a decisive battle between Hu Zongxian and Hai Si in Zhejiang City. At that time, overthrowing Yan Song could not solve the problem of the emptiness of the national treasury, and the subsequent series of impacts were too great, so he had to give up.
But now, the war in the southeast has come to an end. In the previous plot, after winning the battle, Hu Zongxian returned to his hometown to recuperate due to illness. It was obvious that he had sensed the downfall of the Yan Party from this turmoil. He felt it was difficult to be caught between the Yan Party and the emperor, so he chose to stay out of it this time.
All the obstacles that prevented Jiajing from overthrowing Yan were gone, and now only Jiajing's own will remained. Lü Fang, played by Lao Li, obviously saw this and silently added fuel to the fire:
"Your Majesty is wise, and I have something to report."
"Zhu Qi and his men from the Imperial Guards have been secretly following Yan Maoqing's fleet. He said that Yan Maoqing had three more ships before he escorted the silver to the Imperial City."
"--To put it bluntly, how many millions were transported away?" Jiajing certainly knew that these middle-level people in the Yan Party had embezzled the silver from the salt tax to several levels. When it came into the hands of Yan Shifan and his cronies, it was definitely impossible for them to hand it over directly without being greedy.
At this time, the words of Lv Fang, played by Lao Li, became the last straw that sealed the death of the Yan Party. He was seen kneeling and slowly turning around as Wei Yanwu moved, saying:
"Our people in Nanzhili have also reported that Yan Maoqing collected at least 5 million taels of tax silver during his salt inspection. In addition to the 3.3 million taels he reported, he also concealed at least 2 million taels."
"One ship sailed to the hometown of Lord Yan, and the other ship sailed to Yan Maoqing's own hometown. Another ship, disguised as a merchant ship, sailed back to the imperial city a month ago."
"…Now, even if Yan Song really didn't know anything, he can't clear himself by jumping into the river."
And Lao Li's words also made Ling couldn't help but sigh. Everyone knew from a God's perspective that Yan Song, played by the Rat King, was completely unaware of the corruption of his subordinates, and even Yan Shifan might not know about it. Yan Maoqing's actions were completely out of a mentality of trying to please others.
Just like this time when Yan Maoqing came back from the salt inspection, he spent 200,000 yuan to buy a troupe for Yan Song. Now, it is not only Yan Song who has no energy to properly discipline his subordinates due to old age and frailty, but even his son Yan Shifan has completely lost control of the behavior of his subordinates.
This is an extremely dangerous signal. The Yan Party is now out of control, and the out-of-control Yan Party is of no use to Jiajing. What's more, the Yan Party has committed a big taboo.
"Jiajing was an emperor who valued both money and face. Let's not talk about the corruption of the middle-level officials of the Yan Party this time. In Jiajing's view, the Yan Party embezzled two million, but only gave Jiajing one million in private treasury money..."
The Emperor of Dayan had a sneer on his face. He couldn't help but think of Dayan's current salt tax. He was now waiting for the salt tax terms from the Grand Tutor and the Minister of Revenue. If a similar "manipulation" happened in Dayan, he would not drag the matter down until the situation like Jiajing's.
In his great Yan State, a salt inspection usually only collected one million taels of silver? Did the other nine million go down the drain? How could the treasury be well-stocked?
Now, the Emperor of Dayan began to feel sorry for Jiajing. He now understood why Jiajing, despite his natural talent, had been slow to take action against the Yan Party. If all the members of the Yan Party, who were so united, were killed, how would Dayan fill the vacancies left by these people?
Killing ministers is not a big deal, but if a large number of middle-level cadres are missing and the national system is paralyzed, that would be the real crisis.
"It's really difficult for him..." Wen Yue didn't know if it was because of the words the night before that she felt sympathy for Jiajing played by Wei Yanwu. Now seeing him in such a difficult situation, she murmured to herself:
"One person wants to fight against such a group of ministers, or even the officials of an entire country... From this point of view, his obsession with becoming a giant beast and attempting to become a god is actually his only way to reverse the situation in the court and the country."
Just as Chen Qi said before, becoming a god or an immortal seemed extremely absurd in Chen Qi's original world, but when he arrived in Dayan, Terra, combined with Jiajing's environment, it became a dream that was not so illusory.
And now, the reputation of this Terra version of Jiajing seems to be showing a trend of being slightly better than that of the original world... Of course, only Chen Qi knows the truth of all this.
"Okay...three boats, sailing south and north."
"This river in our Great Yan Dynasty seems to have been built for them!"
Even the Emperor of Dayan, who was a gentle man, was furious, let alone Wei Yanwu. Wei Yanwu's temper was much more unruly than his brother's. Now hearing such information, just thinking about it made him furious.
In a panic, Wei Yanwu grabbed the terms and conditions sent by Yan Maoqing, looked at the signature on it, and unknowingly forgot his role. He was so angry that his whole body trembled slightly, and even his voice became hoarse.
"Yan Maoqing—smoke is coming out!"
"What are you still saying in your memorial - how dare you refuse to do the work of relieving the emperor's worries?!"
"He also said that he had discussed with Yan Shifan and wanted to allocate one million yuan for me to build the Wanshou Palace?!"
Finally, as Wei Yanwu spoke, his voice became higher and higher, and the fire in his heart surged, accompanied by the power of a real dragon, and the dragon's roar resounded throughout the palace!
"My money!!"
Under the might of the dragon, at this moment, in the "Yan Mansion" which is some distance away from the set, Yan Song, played by the Rat King, was about to fall asleep while listening to the play, but when he felt the might of the real dragon, he sat up from the recliner reflexively.
However, everyone knew that he was awakened by the power of the real dragon, but when caught in the camera, the Rat King's conditioned reflex became the old man suddenly coming back to his senses and noticing that something was wrong.
If the reported 3.3 million is the full amount, where did Yan Maoqing get the 200,000 yuan to buy the troupe? This is the most profound message his actions will convey to the audience.
"They took two million! I'll take one million! Do you still want me to thank them?!"
At this moment, Wei Yanwu's dragon roar resounded throughout the Great Yan Palace. After such an outburst, perhaps because of his old age or the aftereffects of smoking too much, his eyes turned black and he took several steps back.
Fortunately, Lao Li on the side broke free from the suppression brought by Long Wei in time, and immediately supported Wei Yanwu's body. He immediately touched Wei Yanwu's chest to help him clear his breath, and hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, please do not harm your immortal body. Otherwise, I will have the Imperial Guards and the people from the Dali Temple surround their house."
Lao Li's words also helped Wei Yanwu, who was almost in a state of rage, to slowly calm down. After regaining control of his emotions, Wei Yanwu immediately regained the calmness he had when playing Jiajing, and murmured:
"It's time to close the net... but it's not time to confiscate the property yet."
"Let them make another fortune, let them be happy, comfortable, and down-to-earth - have a good New Year!"
Wei Yanwu almost squeezed out the last sentence from between his teeth. Seeing the emperor so angry, even Zhongyue couldn't help but sigh and said lightly:
"This is because they hate them to the core. They are afraid that they will transfer the embezzled money. They want to catch them when the whole court is speechless and catch them with the evidence."
"This Emperor Jiajing... is truly terrifying. As a human being, he never acts on impulse. His emotions, joy, sorrow, and anger are all suppressed by complete rationality. He waits until the right time to strike."
“Although I know that he can’t become a behemoth, but the thought of such a person becoming a god… really makes me shudder.”
Chongyue now had to say that as one of the fragments of "Sui", he had witnessed many kings, wise kings, virtuous kings, tyrants... but it was the first time he had seen such a "weird" emperor like Jiajing.
He made people feel intimidated, whether it was his talent, his imperial mentality, or his absolutely rational judgment. He was like a machine that would never make mistakes and calculated every step well. Those who were calculated by him often could not figure out why they were abandoned until they died.
At this moment, the Imperial Guard suddenly appeared beside the Great Yan Emperor. After saluting, the Imperial Guard handed a thick document in his hand to the Great Yan Emperor and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor and the Minister have compiled the data on all the salt taxes and related taxes for the past five years. Please review it."
As soon as the imperial guards finished speaking, the Emperor of Dayan ignored everyone else, tore open the kraft paper and began to look through it. However, after comparing them one by one, everyone could see that the Emperor of Dayan's originally gloomy expression turned ashen, and then softened again, revealing the same sneer that Jiajing had before he got angry in the play.
"You are defaming God... How dare you! I was wondering why the salt tax has been decreasing by hundreds of thousands every year, and has never returned to the level of my father's dynasty. You are defaming my tolerance..."
"——Everyone, I have to excuse myself first. I have some official business to attend to."
The Great Yan Emperor did not stay for long. The next moment, he took the initiative to stand up and leave the scene. On the other side, Chen Qi, whose filming had temporarily come to an end, waited until the Great Yan Emperor left before notifying the supervisors, Tallulah and Nian Dao, through the intercom:
"After these two episodes are finished, they will be sent to the kings of various countries. I believe they will be very interested in their own financial affairs."

Volume 313: Chapter : The blood sutra that made Jiajing obsessed?
Half a month later, Chen Qi's latest two episodes of "The Great Yan Dynasty" were delivered to the hands of kings of various countries as agreed. The kings, who had just finished watching a big drama in Zhejiang City, were also looking forward to the two episodes of new content sent by Chen Qi.
However, this time, the two episodes of new content sent by Chen Qi seemed to have caused a butterfly effect within half a month. After watching these two episodes, the leaders of various countries broke many big news one after another.
The first piece of news came from Casimir. Grand Knight Ioletta, led by a team of silver spear Pegasus, cracked a case in which knights were bribed with high prices to play fake games in exchange for the knights' promotions. This once again cleared up the trend of merchants' disorderly politics that was slightly raising its head in Casimir.
The second piece of news that followed closely was about a cleansing operation against civil servants for corruption and bribery in Victoria, which arrested more than seventy senior civil servants at one time, and what was rare was that the evidence was solid.
After these two cases occurred, there was a turmoil in the official circles of the two countries. Officials from various countries felt even more uneasy, wondering if the "surprise inspection" was really a surprise this time, and that their own leaders really wanted to make some political achievements and were planning to kill these officials as a starter?
After all, the situations of Victoria and Casimir were very special. Victoria had just been rebuilt and there was a lot of work to be done. Only with the resumption of production of Steam Knights and a series of reform measures did the country regain some of its national strength. It was not feasible to plunder the people or the merchants.
Casimir had already plundered all the merchants there, leaving no more merchants to plunder. So now there was no other way to deal with officials on a large scale, except to achieve political achievements and enrich the national treasury.
What made officials from both countries panic was not this, but the “conclusive evidence”. Chen Qi’s “Yes, Prime Minister” said, “The core of security investigation is to find nothing.” However, this time, all the officials involved in the case who were arrested in both countries were caught with evidence, leaving no room for rebuttal.
This is not just a serious move, this is a preparation for a major change of blood that happens once in a century. Therefore, officials from both countries have been trembling with fear during this period, and all small actions have been suspended.
But others don't know, but Tracys and others in Londinium know very well what the two countries' actions were during this period. There is no doubt that it was the salt tax incident in "The Great Yan Dynasty" sent by Chen Qi, which made them follow the same pattern as the Great Yan Emperor, find clues and clean up the internal affairs.
"I am a little surprised. The Great Yan Dynasty came from Great Yan, and the new emperor of Ursus was the most active in learning it. But this time, Great Yan and Ursus did not take any action at all."
Tracy was sitting with his sister. They had just finished watching the thirty-two episodes sent by Chen Qi. Naturally, they knew very well the reasons for Victoria and Casimir's actions.
When Theresa heard her brother's question, she immediately said:
"The Great Yan Emperor should have received a hint from Director Chen Qi. After all, in the drama, the Jiajing Emperor did not immediately overthrow Yan, but chose to stabilize the hearts of the Yan Party first. The Great Yan Emperor should also use a similar method and intend to get to the bottom of it."
"As for the new emperor of Ursus... he is probably making preparations. After all, this is the first major case he has to deal with since he came to power. It may also involve a huge wave of bloodshed. If he does not have the support of the military, it will easily turn into an armed coup."
Theresa quickly expressed her judgment. While changing the videotape, Theresis nodded. He couldn't help but look up at Theresa, whose eyes were much clearer at the moment, and said with emotion:
"I didn't expect...your soul would recover so quickly. Now, basically most of the day, I can see you in your own form."
"This is all thanks to Director Chen Qi... although I don't know why." Theresa smiled shyly, but there was actually nothing wrong with her words. Even though she now knew that Chen Qi was a "behemoth", she didn't know how Chen Qi resurrected her soul.
But when she said that, her meaning changed again. Theresis didn't say much about it. After all, he had already exchanged opinions with Theresa about this matter. He really didn't misjudge his sister. Theresa "righteously" chose to sacrifice herself and find the most reliable "backer" for their race.
Being stared at by her brother with such a subtle look, Theresa rarely showed a little discomfort, and quickly changed the subject and asked:
"Speaking of which, my brother, I saw you talking to the eight dukes about the foundation project of the mobile city some time ago. What was the conclusion?"
"It went smoothly. The eight dukes were willing to let us copy the relevant materials on the construction of the mobile city. The foundation of the new city that we will use as the capital is already underway. If nothing goes wrong, maybe Director Chen Qi will be able to come to Kazdel to watch our restoration ceremony before he leaves Dayan."
"And this time, Victoria and Da Yan, the two great powers on the east and west sides, will escort our restoration of Kazdel. Director Chen Qi is that barrier. This time, the Sarkaz tribe will finally have a home of our own."
Tracy had naturally arranged everything, including the Broken Building, the air fleet, etc., all of which needed to be transferred from Londinium to the new capital. By then, all they would be able to leave for Londinium would have to be moved away, except for the residential area, part of the industrial area that originally belonged to Victoria, and the royal palace itself.
Of course, these things will have to be discussed later. Right now, the brother and sister are most interested in the latest episode of Chen Qi's "Da Yan Dynasty".
In the previous plot, Jiajing had already made up his mind to overthrow Yan, but in order not to alarm the Yan Party, he chose a series of appeasement policies. Among them, the execution of Qi Dazhu, played by Huai Tianpei, also became a decision of Jiajing to appease the Yan Party.
Yan Song and Yan Shifan both wanted to implicate the Qingliu Party around Prince Yu by confirming Qi Dazhu's suspicion of colluding with the Deep Sea Church. However, Jiajing scoffed at this and even said, "Yan Shifan means that my son is also colluding with the Deep Sea Church?!"
But in the end, in order to appease the Yan Party, he agreed to execute Qi Dazhu before the New Year. However, the Qingliu side would never want the Yan Party to succeed, and at this time, Gao Hanwen, played by Zuo Le, who cleared his suspicion and returned to the Hanlin Academy, provided help at this moment.
In the previous plot, Gao Hanwen originally ignored Yunniang who had used the "beauty trap" on him, but he fell in love with her over time. After Yunniang left, Gao Hanwen felt empty in his heart, so he chased Yunniang back and wanted to marry her.
This incident has become the ironclad evidence for the Yan Party to attack Gao Hanwen, accusing him of "taking a prostitute as his wife and secretly communicating with Hai Si". Gao Hanwen is now forced into a corner, and coupled with this incident in Zhejiang City, he firmly decides to stand on the side of the Qingliu and save Qi Dazhu.
As long as Qi Dazhu can be saved, the Yan Party will not be able to connect with the Qingliu Party through Hai Rui, and Gao Hanwen and Yunniang can both save their lives.
The key item to save Qi Dazhu is a part of the dowry that Shen Yishi left for Yunniang - a blood scripture written by a giant beast!
"This is a blood scripture written by 'Shuo', one of the 'Sui' back then. Before coming here, I had already found the inscriptions and handwriting left by Shuo and compared them. They are indeed the two blood scriptures written by Shuo when he separated from his original body and changed his name to Chongyue."
Everyone knows that Jiajing is extremely obsessed with becoming a giant beast, but after the great battle with "Sui", all the giant beasts of Dayan were wiped out, and "Sui" was once again completely destroyed. However, it is only a matter of time before this immortal beast revives, and it is very difficult to really kill it.
The blood sutra left by Chongyue is undoubtedly the most needed skill for Jiajing who wants to become a "god". With the help of this heart sutra and elixirs, theoretically speaking, Jiajing's path to becoming a god should be smooth.
"Could it be that Jiajing can really become a god?" Now, Tracys couldn't help but doubt. Could it be that at the end of "The Great Yan Dynasty", the Great Yan was destroyed in the hands of the crazy Jiajing after he became a god?
After all, judging from the current plot, Jiajing will only become more arrogant after becoming a god. His identity as the only "god" in Dayan will make him more brutal than the Witch King.
And the Da Yan in the play looks like a storm is coming and he may fall at any time. Tracy can't help but wonder, what will be the final outcome of Da Yan, will it be absurd, tragic, or devastating?
But no matter what, Tracy continued to watch patiently, and at the beginning of a new episode, Princess Yu brought her son, the blood sutra, and the Taoist robe she had embroidered to give gifts to Jiajing.
Jiajing happily accepted the hand-embroidered Taoist robe. When he saw the Blood Sutra, Jiajing's eyes showed a fanatical expression for the first time. He flipped through the first page of the dark red but golden Blood Sutra, unable to hide the ecstasy and disbelief in his tone and asked:
"How did you get it?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not say anything."
When Jiajing heard this, his face changed again. He realized that there was something fishy about the blood sutra. After Lu Fang dismissed all the idlers, he managed to calm down a little and said to Princess Yu:
"Just say it, no matter how you get it, it's a great credit!"
"…Father, this envelope of scriptures was sent to the palace by Qi Dazhu's daughter-in-law."
Since this was to exonerate Qi Dazhu, the matter would naturally be pushed onto Qi Dazhu and the others. Qi Dazhu's wife was someone he met on the front lines of the fight against Hai Si and the Deep Sea Church. During this period, Qi Dazhu was detained in the Zhenfu Division for interrogation, and his wife also came all the way to the capital and has been begging for mercy in front of the Zhenfu Division until today.
The story told by Princess Yu can be said to be a complete mythological novel. It says that Qi Dazhu's wife was chaste and had been waiting for her husband in the wind and snow for several months, and her behavior moved a mysterious person.
"Who is he? What does he look like?" Jiajing was not so easy to fool, so he continued to ask. At this time, Princess Yu gave the most standard answer - you guess it yourself.
Princess Yu did not describe the specific appearance, because if she described it too clearly, it would make Jiajing suspicious. She only said that it was too dark and Qi Dazhu's wife could not see clearly. She could only vaguely see a man with dragon horns, who was ragged but had an aura of righteousness.
"Chongyue..." As expected, upon hearing this description, Jiajing immediately thought of what Chongyue looked like when he turned into a human. He guessed it himself, so naturally he believed this statement to 60%.
Finally, Princess Yu even offered a wave of fatalistic words, saying that the man suspected to be "Shuo" was moved by the sincerity of Qi Dazhu's wife, and after sensing her through the gate of the Zhenfu Division, he said something like "Your husband's fate is solid, and he should not die", and then gave her this blood scripture.
However, such a set of seemingly ridiculous remarks was like a thunderclap to Jiajing, who had wanted to become a giant for twenty years.
As Chen Qi said, in his world, Jiajing believed that Zhang Sanfeng appeared in the spirit, which could only be said to be the result of practicing Taoism for twenty years and going crazy. But in Terra, although this matter is a bit far-fetched, it is actually somewhat credible.
After all, the behemoth will not die, and more than 40 years have passed since the great battle of "Year". The revival of a fragment of Year does not seem to be so difficult to accept.
After all, Jiajing has now even obtained the blood meridian, and Princess Yu's remarks have made him further believe that the giant beast has awakened.
"The giant beasts have appeared again... They really aren't that easy to kill."
At this moment, upon hearing that there were traces of a giant beast in Dayan again, Jiajing was not nervous at all. Instead, he was overjoyed. On a whim, he said to Lu Fang beside him:
"Shuo has appeared again, send more people to look for him."
"Wait, what time is it?" Jiajing suddenly stopped Lu Fang and asked about the time. After getting the response of "noon", his rationality completely evaporated for the first time, and he said firmly:
"Go to the Imperial Prison immediately! Spare his life..."
At this moment, although his expression was very calm, the madness in the eyes was greater than the divinity of Jiajing, making everyone feel a chill running down their spine... making them hope that such a terrifying guy would never become a "god".
Otherwise, it's not just Da Yan who will suffer, the whole of Terra will be harmed by this crazy guy...
