Afterwards, Xiao Fuzi moved a chair, and Zheng Ziyuan sat on the chair.

"Your Majesty, this is the new royal system supplemented by the old man. Please have a look at it." Zheng Ziyuan handed a memorial to Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming opened it and looked.

In general, Zheng Ziyuan did not modify his meaning, but only added some details.

Among them, he increased the salary of the royal family by about [-]%.

Zheng Ming frowned slightly, although compared to the power to collect taxes, the salary does not seem to be important.

But this does not mean that the royal family's salary is very small, on the contrary, the royal family's salary is also a big burden on the court.

He could understand Zheng Ziyuan's meaning, it was nothing more than appeasing the royal family by increasing his salary.

However, Zheng Ming was still not satisfied with this.

"Uncle Huang, do you know why I want to deprive the royal family of their rights?" Zheng Ming said.

"Your Majesty, please clarify." Zheng Ziyuan said.

Zheng Ming put down the memorial, tapped the table, and said: "The royal family is divided into Ming veins and Yin veins. There are 23 Ming veins and less than 2 hidden veins."

"Most of the 2 people in Yinmai are cultivators, including more than 3000 middle-rank warriors, more than 500 upper-rank warriors, and three masters."

"Among the 23 people in Mingmai, there are less than 5000 middle-rank warriors, 130 upper-rank warriors, and no grandmaster."

"Yinmai consumes about 80 taels of resources and money every year, while Mingmai's annual salary alone costs about 400 million taels."

"Uncle Huang, have you noticed the difference?"

Zheng Ming sneered.

Is there no one with good qualifications in Mingmai?

Yes, and more.

However, with a difference of ten times the number of people, the practitioners of Mingmai are not as good as Yinmai, and the reason for this can be imagined.

Most of Mingmai's children were raised as dudes, while Yinmai focused on cultivation, and instead cultivated many talents.

It's not that Zheng Ming doesn't value the royal family, it's just that he doesn't want to raise the royal family like pigs.

After Zheng Ziyuan finished listening, he remained silent for a long time.

Some things are really incomparable. Once compared, the more than 20 royal families of Mingmai have become waste.

"Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, I understand."

Zheng Ming said: "Not only can the salary not be increased, but I will further reduce the salary. However, I will give 100 million taels of silver to the Clan Mansion, and the Clan Mansion will form the Royal Chamber of Commerce. All the income of the Royal Chamber of Commerce will be controlled by the Clan Mansion." .”

"Compared to being born rich, I hope that the royal family can strive for self-improvement."

"Your Majesty is wise, but the old man didn't think carefully." Zheng Ziyuan said in a deep voice.

Zheng Ming smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, don't blame yourself."

"I'm worried that some people will do something unwise." Zheng Ziyuan said.

"Unwise move!" Zheng Ming chuckled and said, "If they are like this, the emperor don't need to bother, I will deal with it."

Zheng Ziyuan's heart trembled, and he immediately understood that Zheng Ming was about to use the knife.

However, he didn't refute or persuade. Some people can't see the reality clearly and deserve to die.

2 Chapter Twenty The Mysterious Man in Black Robe

Lu Wangfu.

In the dead of night.

in the library.

King Lu sat under the flickering candlelight, looking at the letter in his hand, his face constantly changing.

In front of him, a man covered in black robes was watching quietly.

The man in black hid his hands in his sleeves, and wore a ghostly mask on his face, only revealing a pair of deep eyes.

"This is the order of the Lord."

He said quietly.

"No, with the current strength of His Majesty, this king cannot overthrow him." King Lu said.

"With our help, you can do it." The man in black said.

King Lu suddenly raised his head, looked at him with gloomy eyes, and said, "Now there are two great masters in the capital, more than a dozen masters, and Zheng Ming also has the strength of a great master. How do you overthrow him?"

"Haha~~ It seems that you still don't understand the power of the Holy Cult." The man in black laughed strangely.

King Lu said in a deep voice: "A hundred years ago, the holy religion was destroyed."

"That's because of the betrayal of the royal family! Otherwise, how could the Holy Cult be destroyed?" The voice of the man in black suddenly became cold.

"Don't forget that this king is also from the royal family!" King Lu stood up, his face sinking like water.

The man in black looked at him coldly, and said after a long time: "Don't forget, you, King Lu, have always been members of our Holy Cult."

The pupils in King Lu's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's clearly stated in the Lord's letter. Now that there is constant chaos in Dali, the Holy Cult will take this opportunity to support you as the new Emperor of Li." The black robe said humanely.

"Why?" King Lu asked.

"You don't need to know about this." The black robe said humanely.

King Lu's face showed a touch of anger, but he was quickly suppressed, and said: "What if the king is not willing?"

"You die, we are looking for other collaborators. Hehe, you don't think we can only look for you, do you?" the black robe said humanely.

Lu Wang took a deep breath, sat on the chair, and slightly closed his eyes.

He is hesitating.

He is struggling.

Because once this matter is decided, it is equivalent to putting the entire Prince Lu Mansion on a cliff.

"This king also wants to know how powerful the Holy Cult is now." He said in a low voice.

"You want to measure the strength of both sides?" the black robe said humanely.

"That's right, I don't know anything about the holy religion now. You at least let me see the hope of winning." King Lu said.

The black robe said humanely: "Since we dare to act, we are naturally well prepared. You can rest assured about this."

Lu Wang paused, still a little suspicious.

"real!"

The man in black laughed and said, "We don't want to die either."

King Lu let out a long breath, and his heart began to beat violently.

Overthrow Zheng Ming and become the new Emperor Li!

This is a rare opportunity for him.

"How much power does this king have available?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Within Dali, the Holy Cult can only provide you with three people." The black robe said humanely.

"Who?"

"You'll know soon enough that you won't be disappointed."

King Lu was silent for a moment, and said: "There is still one thing that I don't understand. Why do you take action now? Why didn't you take action when you attacked Bailianzong?"

Although the current situation in the Dali Dynasty is chaotic, anyone with a heart knows that everything is under Zheng Ming's control.

In contrast, when the Bailianzong was conquered, the situation was even more chaotic, especially when Zheng Qingsong passed away, it was definitely the best opportunity.

The man in black suddenly laughed and said, "Who said we didn't take action? How do you think Zheng Qingsong died?"

King Lu was stunned, could Zheng Qingsong's death have something to do with them?

"Didn't King Su do it?"

"That's right, he did it, but we asked him to do it." The black robe said humanely.

"The holy religion has been hidden for a hundred years, and the lord has endured humiliation for a hundred years, just hoping to get revenge one day. Now that the Bailianzong has been destroyed, the royal family should also pay the price."

"When the lord descends, that's when you board the dragon chair. Remember, this is your only chance, and it's also your last chance."

The man in black said quietly.

Since then.

His figure slowly melted into the closed wooden door like a phantom, and disappeared.

King Lu looked at the place where he disappeared with a serious expression on his face.

……

The moonlight is like silver, shining everywhere, and the entire capital city has become a dark scene under the moonlight.

On the dark street, Ling Luochen was wearing a loose robe, holding a wine gourd, and staggered.

"Hey, there are no liquor sellers in the huge city of Kyoto~~"

He looked at the dark street and sighed sadly.

For an alcoholic, not having alcohol is the worst thing in the world.

At this moment, he was staring at a nearby restaurant, he was hesitating whether to be a gentleman.

Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is better than no wine.

Suddenly, he paused, staring blankly at the cornice in front of him.

"Someone!"

A vague figure passed over the eaves, as silently as a shadow.

The drunkenness in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and his stumbling body straightened instantly.

He is not here just to buy wine, and one of his tasks is to patrol Kyoto at night.

With a whoosh, his figure disappeared in place, chasing after that figure.

However, after a while, he actually lost it.

"Master!" He frowned.

It is not a good thing for a grand master to wander around the capital at night.

This is definitely not the grandmaster in the capital, and it should not be the grandmaster of Dali. Now there are only a few grandmasters in Dali, and he can be said to be like a treasure.

Just when he was in doubt, a cold wind suddenly came from behind him.

Before he had time to think, almost instinctively, Ling Luochen stooped and dodged towards the eaves next to him.

And the moment he bent down, a long hair brushed by a silver-white sword blade slashed across.

A large piece of long hair was scattered on the roof tiles.

"So strong!"

Ling Luochen was in shock, staring at the figure not far away.

Black clothes, black robes, and black masks, at first glance, he is not a kind person.

"who are you?"

he asked.

"The one who killed you!"

The man in black didn't talk nonsense, his figure disappeared before Ling Luochen's eyes like a ray of wind.

Ling Luochen turned pale with shock.

run!
