different devil life

A vicious plan emerged in Lu Zhongbo's mind.

An assassin can't kill you, and the military power is not in my hands. I really can't do anything about it, but it's still okay for the old man to mess up the world.

In fact, it was a bad idea for Lu Zhongbo to take this path, because he used to just want to make money, but only when his wealth reached a certain level did he start recruiting troops.

Therefore, he actually has a vested interest in the peace of the world and does not want the world to be chaotic.

The great chaos in the world is very inconvenient for him to collect money. If he makes a mistake, he will be the real man, and as a former minister, he will be executed.

It's just that he can't help it now, the emperor doesn't die, he dies!

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

Today, the news that Wang Zhong arrested more than a dozen ministers at once spread throughout the imperial capital, and even the news spread around the imperial capital.

Originally, Wang Zhong arrested corrupt officials, this is a great thing.

But who knows that the news is getting more and more outrageous, saying that the emperor murdered Zhongliang, those ministers just proposed to reduce taxes, the emperor arrested them as big bosses, and ransacked their homes.

For the sake of enjoyment.

Not only that, the emperor also violated filial piety and put the queen mother under house arrest.

For the sake of enjoyment, the emperor spent a lot of money to build the harem......

The news spread more and more outrageous, and in the end, it even came out that the emperor wanted each locality to donate a hundred beauties, and taxes began to double.

Naturally, Lu Zhongbo deliberately let people spread the news.

He believed that soon everyone in the world would scold Wang Zhong severely, and when the world would be in chaos, he could take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the chaos if he was prepared.

Of course, this risk is very high, and he doesn't want to be the first bird.

Wang Zhong, who lived in the deep palace, did not know the news yet.

On the second day, Xie Jin came in to face the saint.

"My lord."

"Well, Eunuch Xie is here, let's get up and go to the government office."

The case of General Meng Mention will be resolved today, and Wang Zhong plans to go there early.

Anyway, a few days ago, he had already notified Fu Yin there, and he believed that preparations were made there.

It's better not to be ready, he can take the opportunity to hit again.

Only this time, Xie Jin also brought a bad news.

Chapter 629 Everyone Is Scolding the Emperor (Monthly Pass)

"My lord, the spies I sent out today noticed something. Many people outside are spreading news about my lord, which is very bad."

Xie Jin bowed his head respectfully.

"Talk while you walk."

Wang Zhong didn't care much, soldiers came to block the water and soil, and he was afraid that a few ministers with little military power would fail?

Afterwards, Xie Jin talked about the people in the world scolding the emperor.

Wang Zhong was secretly surprised when he heard this: "What, there are rumors that those ministers went to jail because of tax cuts? I built the harem for enjoyment? Hahaha...hahaha... yes, my uncle is really extraordinary, so I can think of a way.”

"My lord, don't take it lightly. If this news spreads, it will cause trouble if it arouses public anger."

He Taigao worried.

"You don't need to worry, buddy. Regarding the matter of reputation, I already have a solution."

Wang Zhong didn't say much, he took two eunuchs He Taigao and Xie Jin, as well as a team of imperial guards and guards out of the palace.

On this day, Governor Lu Pingying anxiously waited for Wang Zhong to come over.

The sun is very strong today, and the huge emperor's team is walking on the road mightily.

This was Wang Zhong's first visit to the bustling streets outside the palace for so long, and it could be seen that the people in the capital were living a pretty good life, and the clothes and food they wore were from wealthy families.

The further you go out, the smaller the house and the more and more poor people.

Wang Zhongkan was filled with emotion. It seems that there is a long way to go to make the Great Yan Dynasty stronger. Not only do the treacherous officials of the court have to be dealt with, but also find ways to increase the income of the people.

The wind outside was strong, and the weather was a bit cold. Wang Zhong also noticed that some children were wearing thin clothes, and their big eyes were staring at him curiously.

"Son, don't look."

The mother pressed her son's head, not daring to look at Wang Zhong.

This is the majesty of the emperor.

"The national power is still too weak."

Wang Zhong sighed slightly. These days, he has also studied the national map of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Great Yan Dynasty had a vast area and seemed extremely powerful, but it was also surrounded by powerful enemies.

His Great Yan Dynasty is now like a piece of fragrant steamed bun. If the powerful enemies around him take a bite, they can severely damage the Great Yan Dynasty.

According to his understanding, the border guards had been disbanded since the death of Zhao Luan's father, and he did not have a strong army to use.

On the surface, he has hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, but he doesn't know how many can be used.

Because he had already discovered a very realistic thing, the original owner Luo Zhao didn't know how to command the border guards.

In other words, if the defenders rebel, he has nothing to check and balance now.

It's okay to rely on only [-] imperial guards to defend against rebellion, ministers and thieves, but it's not enough to quell the rebellion.

Rebuilding soldiers and horses requires a large sum of money.

Silver silver silver silver!

Wang Zhong felt more and more headache.

Soon, the mighty team stopped outside the government office.

He Xi bowed his waist and came to the door, and shouted towards the door: "The emperor is here!!!"

This He Xi was worthy of being the little eunuch whom He Taigao had taken a fancy to, and just by shouting, one could see his strong inner strength.

Immediately, a group of people from the yamen filed out.

Including the surrounding people, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

To be honest, Wang Zhong is not a person with strong vanity, but seeing this scene still made him full of emotions.

No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, this taste is really different.

Immediately, he shouted majesticly: "Pingshen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone got up, and Lu Pingying at the gate of the yamen walked over nervously, maybe because he was guilty, he didn't dare to look up at Wang Zhong.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared some evidence about the sinner's sudden mention, and I am waiting for the emperor to check and find out." Lu Pingying said cautiously.

"Ah."

Wang nodded his head and shouted to Lu Pingying: "I am going to hold a public trial, and I will bring all my things to the city wall square. I want my people to have a look. From now on, if a prince breaks the law, he will be as guilty as the common people!"

Isn't it rumored that he murdered Zhongliang outside now? The so-called rumors rely on one mouth, and the rumors have to be broken.

It is useless to refute these rumors. What Wang mainly needs to do is try the case in full view.

Only by letting the people see is believing, can they know that he is a wise king.

Of course, this is the first way, the world is too big, he can't run from place to place.

The second way is to learn from American imperialism and learn from the powerful public opinion propaganda of American imperialism.

He wants to create the first newspaper of the Great Yan Dynasty, and spread the news about how he governs the country and how he cares about the people.

The United States relies on its powerful media to make the people of other countries trust it.

However, the problem now is that the ancient papermaking technology is underdeveloped, and paper is too expensive for ordinary people.

Therefore, Wang Zhong plans to improve the papermaking technology in the later stage, so that everyone can afford paper. At that moment, it will be the moment when his great media will flourish.

The prince committed the same crime as the common people!

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding people whispered.

What everyone showed was unbelievable, how could this be possible...

Wang Zhong smiled and didn't say anything else. As for Lu Pingying, led by He Taigao, went down to work.

After working for more than an hour, Wang Zhong has already arrived at the huge square under the city wall.

In the scorching sun, Wang Zhong was sitting on the city wall, and the people below looked curiously.

He was not in a hurry, but made He Taigao and Xie Jin anxious.

There are too many people around, what if there are assassins?

The two tried their best to persuade Wang Zhong before, but Wang Zhong rejected them.

"Bring it up fiercely." Wang Zhong shouted.

Meng Ti was still wearing a crime, and was escorted up by chains and anklets.

But judging by his mental state, it is much better than he was in prison before.

After Mengti saluted, Lu Pingying came over, stood in front of Wang Zhong, and respectfully handed over the evidence that Mengti committed a crime.

"Your Majesty, this is a crime that the sinner brought up fiercely. When he was raised as a general in the left and right, he withheld hundreds of soldiers' salaries. For more than five years, a total of tens of thousands of taels was lost."

"Here are the confessions of those soldiers whose pay was deducted, please check it with the emperor."

Wang Zhong casually glanced at it for a few times, then lost interest, and said indifferently: "These contents are just ordinary people's artificially drafted evidence. It's better to ask someone to write it than this one."

"This…………"

Lu Pingying's eyes flashed brightly, as expected, the emperor said this because he wanted to protect Lu Pingying.

"Your Majesty, these are the evidences collected by my minister from visiting many of Mengti's former subordinates, and they will definitely not go wrong." Lu Pingying patiently explained.

"Really!" Wang Zhong looked at Lu Pingying and said, "Actually, I asked General Mengti to take the money, but it was misunderstood because it was an important matter of military affairs and ordinary people could not know about it."

"Your majesty, you..."

Lu Pingying was stunned.

Originally, he thought that Wang Zhong might have various methods to help Mengti escape the crime, so he prepared a lot of evidence that Mengti was corrupt and broke the law.

No matter what, Wang Zhong used this excuse to prevaricate, which made him feel powerless.

"Lu Fuyin, I didn't expect you to investigate these things. It seems that you have brought it up unjustly." Wang Zhong said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, Mengti has committed a crime..."

At this moment, Lu Pingying's son suddenly stood up and spoke.

But before he finished speaking, Wang Zhong stared at him coldly and said, "Who are you? Did I let you speak?"

Lu Pingying hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is my minister's son, Lu Liang."

Lu Liang hurriedly knelt down: "Your majesty, the grassroots Lu Liang disturbed you, deserves death. Please forgive me."

"Hmph, I hate unruly people the most, I should have executed you, but since you are the son of Lord Lu, I will let you go!"

Lu Pingying breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Zhong's next words made his heart ache.

"However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Let's hit twenty big boards, Xie Gonggong!"

"The old slave is here!" Xie Jin walked over.

"Lu Liang, son of the Lu family, dares to contradict me, and he will be fined [-] boards, and it will be executed immediately!"

Having already decided to punish Lu Pingying, Wang Zhong didn't want to be polite with him.

"According to the order!"

Xie Jin turned his head to look at Lu Liang, and with a wave of his hand, two guards subdued Xie Jin.

"beat!"
