Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"This human heart is really the hardest thing to see through in the world."

Inside Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed. A ray of golden light came through the window and shone on a memorial. After reading everything written in the memorial, Zhu Youxiao had a hint of joking on his face.

"Wei Banban, when this memorial was submitted to me, did you read it before?"

Zhu Youxiao threw the memorial onto the briefcase and turned to look at Wei Zhongxian, "What did you think after reading it? Do you feel happy? Or are you shocked?"

"Slave..."

Wei Zhongxian's head was lowered and his heart beat faster. In the past, Wei Zhongxian would have been happy because he could use this to claim credit from the emperor, but it was different now.

For some reason, thoughts of fear and sadness were always with him.

Especially for the errands assigned by his own emperor, every time he did a good job, although the rewards were abundant, there was no joy as before.

"Starting from the time when Admiral Fang Zhenghua took charge of the Western Police Factory and conducted a thorough investigation of the Royal Horse Prison under my orders, so many things happened before and after that I can hardly remember them."

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian hesitated to speak, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "There are many people arrested, many people executed, and countless people have been confiscated of their property."

"It's just that I never thought that my internal funds could be filled to this extent just by relying on these checks. Haha... It's really ironic!"

"The current internal funds include more than 100 million taels of gold, more than 500 million taels of silver, and more than 700 million taels of silver of various colors. I remember that in the past few months, I have allocated five to six million taels from the internal funds. Money, right? I never thought that one day, my internal funds would actually be spent more and more?"

Wei Zhongxian's heart beat faster.

According to common sense, having abundant internal funds should be a happy thing. After all, even a powerful emperor would not have the confidence to speak or act without money.

However, as the East Police Factory was being cleaned up and the results of previous inspections were summarized and accounted for, the amount obtained was astonishingly large. Not to mention Wei Zhongxian was shocked, even Zhu Youxiao was shocked!

"This is only the gold and silver that has been delivered to the internal transportation warehouse. The registered jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., if calculated according to the company's calculation, this is nearly 400 million taels!!"

Zhu Youxiao continued: "This does not include the confiscated property that was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Disaster Relief Office. Let's not say how much it can be exchanged for. There are more than 170 million acres of land scattered in various prefectures and counties in Northern Zhili. I would like to ask Wei Ban By the way, do you think the above are their legal gains? How many people were forced to have their families destroyed by these damn traitors before and after this? Forced to sell their wives into prostitution? Forced to sell their children and daughters?"

"Your Majesty, this slave is guilty!!"

Wei Zhongxian could not withstand the pressure and fell to his knees with a plop, "I have let down the grace of God. I never thought that there would be so many scandalous things hidden in the capital city of Gyeonggi and under the rule of Beizhili!"

"Did you really not think of it?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "There are so many people involved in this, do you dare Wei Banban to guarantee in front of me that none of them are involved with Wei Banban?"

Wei Zhongxian's body was like chaff, and his whole person was shrouded in fear.

Wei Zhongxian could still find excuses for the previous things, but when he was cleaning up the imperial village, including when he searched Hou Guoxing and his party, what was found shocked Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian never thought they would be so rich!

And this must have been done behind their backs.

Yes.

Wei Zhongxian is also very greedy, but in his greed, he knows what can and cannot be greedy, because Wei Zhongxian knows better than anyone else who gave him everything.

If what he does is detrimental to Tianwei, then his downfall is not far away.

After all, what the emperor hates most is when others deceive him!

"Now you know why I promoted Fang Zhenghua, Han Zanzhou and the others, right?"

Looking at Wei Zhongxian who was like chaff, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Since falling into the water in Xiyuan, I have discovered that the inner court is not the inner court I thought, and the events caused by the inner court are also deeply affecting the outer court. North Korea and even the people!!"

"Slave..."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes turned slightly red. At this moment, his mind was blank. The emotions he had previously had completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by endless fear and panic.

"Get up."

Zhu Youxiao looked down at Wei Zhongxian, "You mean your loyalty to me has not changed, otherwise Wei Banban wouldn't be here to listen to what I have to say."

Although Zhu Youxiao knew that Wei Zhongxian had done a lot of things, Zhu Youxiao never thought of killing Wei Zhongxian, because he still needed this vicious dog to intimidate the court and the place.

Don't say anything else.

If you want to divide and kill the eunuchs who have become cliques, you need Wei Zhongxian to play a role in it. Otherwise, if there are too many people involved, God knows what will happen in the future.

Since I have fallen into the water once in Xiyuan before, who can guarantee that nothing else will happen?

In the face of absolute interests, some people are willing to take risks! !

As long as the chaos surrounding the Ming Dynasty is not ended, even if Zhu Youxiao cleans up the inner court and sets up a Royal Imperial Guard Office to control the imperial city, some threats will always exist until order and law are re-established.

It is precisely like this that Zhu Youxiao wanted to give Wei Zhongxian a cold shoulder and ask him to do the finishing work. Zhu Youxiao wanted to use this method to tell Wei Zhongxian why those people who knelt before you had gathered together before. By your side! !

As long as the seeds of doubt are sown, cracks are inevitable.

The Eunuch Party seems to be strong, but in fact there are many factions within it, and there are also many overt and covert struggles between them. As long as Zhu Youxiao can control the methods well, he can eliminate them one by one.

But all this takes time.

Haste makes waste!

"Wei Banpan has benefited from his work, and I still want to reward him."

Seeing Wei Zhongxian who did not get up, Zhu Youxiao calmed down and said in a calm tone: "In that case, let Wei Liangqing join the imperial guard. From now on, apart from training, he will work in front of the emperor."

"My slave, please thank God!"

Wei Zhongxian fought for the ground with his head, but his heart at the moment was very complicated. He was both happy and worried. The former was because he knew that he had no worries in the inner court for the time being. Even if Fang Zhenghua and Han Zanzhou became more popular, they would not be able to replace him in the end.

The latter represents everything about him, and he needs Wei Liangqing as a hostage. In a deeper meaning, Wei Zhongxian also realized that if he cannot do his job with all his heart in the future, anything may happen.

It's like having invisible chains on your body!
