different devil life

After thinking about it, he decided to go to Lu Zhongbo's house and ask what to do.

Lu Zhongbo has been very uncomfortable recently.

The people who can be used under him are lost one after another, and the power of the emperor is getting stronger and stronger.

He also heard that the Dongchang, which was on the verge of collapse and had never been reused, started recruiting again. Xie Jin, the governor of the Dongchang, even began to investigate some officials close to him overtly and secretly.

He understands that the good old days are gone, and if this continues, he will die.

Currently he is resorting to two tricks.

First, the assassination.

It's a pity that this trick didn't work. Now that the palace is airtight, he guessed that the emperor has already suspected him.

Second, let a group of ministers kneel down in the Golden Luan Hall and force Wang Zhong to release the ministers he had arrested before.

It was beyond his expectation that this trick didn't work.

You know, if something happens to so many ministers, the world will be in chaos, but the emperor doesn't seem to be worried.

At this time, Lu Pingying outside the door begged to see him.

"Let him in." Lu Zhongbo said to the housekeeper.

"Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang..."

Lu Pingying left very eagerly, came to Lu Zhongbo and said anxiously: "The big thing is not good..."

In the past, when Lu Pingying came over, he would exchange pleasantries with Lu Zhongbo, but today he seemed very eager.

As soon as he came over, Lu Pingying told about Wang Zhong's rescue from Mengti.

"Your Majesty, this is about regaining military power!" Lu Zhongbo looked ugly.

"Lu Xiang, what should we do now? If this investigation continues, our black hats will be..."

"Hmph, what's the rush." ​​Lu Zhongbo snorted coldly, "He has military power. It's not in vain that we have so many court ministers these years. He has soldiers. Is it possible that we don't?"

"If you're like this, let him try the case that you raised suddenly, and let him think that you dare not make any changes. As for me, I will let the emperor know how powerful I am. When the time comes, we will..."

Lu Pingying's eyes opened wider and wider, and finally nodded heavily: "The next official, it's all up to Prime Minister Lu."

"It's okay!"

....................................

Two days passed.

Today, Wang Zhong didn't go to court again because of his poor health.

"emperor."

Zhao Luan leaned close to Wang Zhong, and said softly: "I heard that those ministers have been kneeling outside the Golden Luan Hall for a long time, and my concubine is a little worried."

"Haha, queen, I will deal with them today."

Wang Zhong sneered, if these ministers want to be the first birds, then let them be fulfilled.

In fact, Wang Zhong also thought that these officials were very funny, they didn't have any military power in their hands, they were so bold that they dared to force the palace.

The previous emperor was really a pig, which can be blinded.

"Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, overworked, and careful. My concubine asked the Imperial Dining Room to make a big tonic soup in the morning. Your Majesty, please drink it."

"There is the Queen of Labor."

Wang nodded his head, and drank the big tonic soup with Zhao Luan, and immediately felt energetic.

Staring at Zhao Luan's pretty face, Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Queen, see you tonight."

"Go slowly, Your Majesty."

After leaving Luan's harem, He Taigao came to report and Xie Jin asked to see him.

Wang Zhong went to the Imperial Study Room, Xie Jin knelt down and said, "This old slave pays my respects to the Emperor, and the Emperor is blessed."

"Excuse me!" Wang Zhong waved his hand, impatient with the cumbersome etiquette of the servants.

"Eunuch Xie, have you found all the evidence against the ministers outside? If not, you don't have to come to me again."

Xie Jin chuckled, took out the booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Wang Zhong respectfully.

"My lord, this is the evidence that Lord Zuo forced a girl surnamed Li to be a concubine. Poor girl surnamed Li didn't obey, and Lord Zuo finally broke her leg and was sold into a brothel."

"Really!" Wang Zhong frowned.

"It's true. To be honest, it's really difficult for the old slave to find evidence of these people's corruption, because time is too tight, but it's too easy to find out how they oppressed civilians."

At the beginning, Wang Zhong said that when he wanted to punish these ministers, he never thought of finding all the criminal evidences of these ministers. He only needed to find one or two evidences, so Xie Jin was very smart and only looked for the ones that were easy to investigate.

All the ministers were not clean, they were not satisfied with some money, and oppression of civilians happened from time to time. Xie Jin arranged for the eunuch party under him to just check casually, and found a lot of things.

"Your Majesty, this is evidence that Mr. Huang has forcibly occupied dozens of households' farmland. They have nowhere to complain. They have been beaten by Mr. Huang's dog legs. It is a heinous crime."

"This is Mr. Duan's criminal evidence. He was drunk and robbed a merchant's wife. Because the merchant refused, the merchant was sent to prison the next day. His wife is still at Mrs. Duan's house, and he doesn't know what kind of bullying she is. ………”

After Xie Jin finished one thing, Wang Zhong's face became more and more serious.

Originally, he thought that it would be enough for these ministers to be greedy for some money, but he didn't expect that they would oppress the common people so much.

These civilians are all his Wang Zhong's subjects, being oppressed like this, when the time comes the people will turn against him but Wang Zhong!

"I see, have you brought those people?" Wang Zhong asked.

"The old slave brought all the victims out according to the emperor's order. The ministers outside don't know these things. The emperor already knows." Xie Jin said respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wang Zhong nodded approvingly, the ancient eunuchs are really useful.

Xie Jin was flattered: "Working for the emperor is what old slaves should do, it's not hard."

Wang Zhong smiled, stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "It's time to meet those ministers......"

Unable to restrain himself, Wang Zhong remembered what an emperor of the Ming Dynasty said before his death:

'Civilian officials... can be killed! '

Why do you say that civil servants can be killed?Because throughout the ages, all those who play with power are civil servants.

He keeps saying that he is benevolent and moral, but in reality he is worse than a hooligan behind his back.

Because no matter how bad the hooligans are, he is obviously bad, but these people are secretly bad, and people who don't know think they are so noble.

It is precisely because of this that the previous emperors regarded these civil servants too highly and dared not do anything to them, for fear of affecting the country and society.

As everyone knows, these civil servants are the ones who influence the country, and now Wang Zhong has no such worries, because compared to worrying about the thoughts of these civil servants, Wang Zhong is more worried about... the hearts of the people!

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

Chapter 627 Those who win the hearts of the people win the world (plus more)

Seeing that Wang Zhong was going to deal with the group of ministers, He Taigao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He watched Wang Zhong step by step to such a good situation, and was very worried that Wang Zhong's strides would be too big all of a sudden, and it would be troublesome if news of the good situation suddenly came out.

Thinking of this, He Taigao couldn't help but said: "My lord, there are too many ministers kneeling outside this time."

"Big companion, are you worried that I won't handle it well and cause a stalemate?"

"The old slave is also worried about the emperor."

"Hehehe, don't worry, I'm responsible for the people, not these bullshit ministers, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, my friend, what do you think?"

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world..."

Suddenly, He Taigao's eyes lit up.

"Wonderful, wonderful! As long as the people don't mess up, these ministers have nothing to worry about. The emperor is the best."

After He Taigao finished speaking, he realized that Wang Zhong had gone far away, and hurriedly ran over: "My lord, my lord, wait for this old slave, safety first."

Above the court, the number of people this time is relatively small.

The reason is very simple. Many ministers are now kneeling outside the Golden Luan Hall and cannot afford to kneel.

"The emperor is really disappointing. There are so many important officials in the court who can't afford to kneel and only want to see him, but he doesn't even see him."

"Hey, how can I work hard for him?"

"If you don't come today, the old man would rather retire and return to his hometown..."

"Together, let's go together."

"Yes, tell the old man to return home, the emperor is stubborn, if I continue to do this, sooner or later I will be cast aside by the world."

The people who spoke were all Lu Dang's.

Lu Zhongbo stood on one side and smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking about Luo Zhao, Luo Zhao, it depends on how you handle this situation.

If so many ministers quit, this great country will really be in chaos, and it will depend on how you end up.

On the court, only Li Mingcai did not speak much.

Li Mingcai's eyes were full of worry. When he came, many ministers decided to jointly play the concert. It had never happened since the founding of the country that so many ministers played together.

At that time, even if it is really a faint king, I am afraid it will not be very easy.

While thinking about how to help Wang Zhong later, Wang Zhong came in at this moment.

"The Emperor is here."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Although there are countless grievances in my heart, there are still necessary etiquette, but when shouting, the expressions of these ministers are obviously very angry, as if they are about to die generously.

Wang Zhong saw the appearance of these people in his eyes, and felt disdainful in his heart.

One by one pretending to be true, wait for me to present your criminal evidence one by one, and see what you say.

"Loves, from the looks of you, you are very angry today." Wang Zhong said lightly.

"emperor!"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, an old minister came out tremblingly: "The minister has his own play."

"Oh, it's Mrs. Wei, you are quite old, and you have really worked hard. Tell me, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, more than a dozen adults have been kneeling at the door for many days, just to see His Majesty, but Your Majesty...you... Hey, Your Majesty, these ministers have worked hard without credit, and please invite them to meet them."

"Your Majesty, if you don't see them, I...will return home voluntarily..." In the end, Lord Wei bowed his head and said.

"Same too!"

"Same too!"

"If the emperor is obsessed with his obsession, I have no intention of sharing the worries for the emperor!"

"Okay, okay..." Wang Zhong laughed directly, as expected, this civil servant with five people and six people was really cunning.

After kneeling down with a large group of ministers, Lu Zhongbo finally came out in a calm manner, and began to sing a white face: "All of you, are you trying to persecute the emperor?"

"Lu Xiang, I don't dare, it's just that the emperor's actions are really chilling, please advise Lu Xiang."

Persuasion means helping and persuading together.

Lu Zhongbo looked embarrassed, thought for a while, and then sighed: "Ah, whatever, Your Majesty, I didn't want to say anything at first, but the matter has come to this point, I have to say it."

"Your Majesty, do you remember what happened in the previous dynasty? The last emperor of the previous dynasty killed Zhongliang and killed more than 20 ministers in the court, which finally led to the collapse of the previous dynasty. Your Majesty, I ask you to think twice, so as not to mess up the big family." Yan Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji."

What Lu Zhongbo said was not subtle at all, he almost pointed at Wang Zhong's nose and cursed: If you continue to do this, you will perish, Your Majesty, times have changed!

Clearly speaking so plainly, Lu Zhongbo still looked very embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I beg you to take back your will and let the adults who are imprisoned be spared! Otherwise, there will be widespread grievances!"

Bullshit public grievances are everywhere, just one of you, if you die, I am afraid that the people will applaud you, right?

Wang Zhong was thinking in his heart, but there was a smile on his mouth: "It seems that the lovers are very dissatisfied with me, okay, then I will chat with you."

Don't you just think that I bully you for no reason, okay, since you give me a chance to rule you, I will grant your wishes.

"All my lovers, follow me to those ministers."

Wang Zhong walked forward recklessly, and when he walked, murderous intent appeared in Wang Zhong's eyes.

Nothing can be broken but nothing can be built. At this time, don't be afraid that others will call you a tyrant, but let them all know that I... I am a tyrant! ! !
