Chapter 137: First slaughter Shaolin, then go to Wudang, and suppress the martial arts world! !
The old Heavenly Master has already killed the First Patriarch Heavenly Monk.
Zhuge Zhengwo, Liu Dufeng and others will surely be able to conquer the mountains and temples much more smoothly.
What's more, there are two great masters of astronomy, Li Hanyi and Nangong Pushe.
I don't think there will be any blind underworld forces that dare to make trouble.
Zhuge Zheng I am not worried about these either.
He just whispered: "How should we deal with Wudang?"
With the power of the Ming Dynasty court today.
If Zhang Sanfeng dared to take action against Zhenwu Division.
That's impossible too.
It was just accompanied by the destruction of the Forbidden City and Shaolin Temple.
Those underworld forces will surely rush towards Wudang frantically.
He wanted to use Wudang Zhang Sanfeng to negotiate some terms with Zhu Houzhao.
I'm afraid that Zhuge Zheng and I will arrive at Wudang Mountain.
It will surely be a situation where storms gather and demons dance wildly.
...
Zhu Houzhao naturally knew the reactions of those underworld forces.
He said calmly, "The story of Wudang Mu Daoist founding Ghost Villa."
"Zhang Sanfeng still needs an explanation from me."
This was the previous plan to suppress Ghost Manor.
Now this kind of layout can also be used.
Zhu Houzhao was dealing with Zhang Sanfeng or the famous and upright sects such as Huashan and Emei.
Of course he couldn't use the same methods he used against Shaolin.
If we really want to suppress these with force alone.
Not to mention how long the Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil because of this.
How much energy and time of Zhu Houzhao would be wasted.
It is a waste of the Ming Dynasty's national strength alone.
With the current strength of Zhenwu Division, it is certainly powerful enough in the Ming Dynasty.
But if we want to suppress the martial arts world in Kyushu in the future, it will not be enough!
Zhang Sanfeng is also good.
Huashan, Emei and so on.
In the future, you will eventually become a member of the Ming Dynasty Zhenwu Division.
It also belongs to the heritage of the Ming Dynasty.
...
Zhuge Zheng: I also understand what Your Majesty means.
This means that Your Majesty intends to go to Wudang in person to have a talk with Zhang Sanfeng.
He also planned to take advantage of the opportunity when these martial arts forces gathered in Wudang.
Your Majesty, you must set up some rules for the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world!
"I know what to do." Zhuge Zhengwo said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly: "I originally intended to let Yu Huatian follow the Zhenwu Division to act together."
"Since you can't make it in time, then you can take Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze with you first."
"Let Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze take charge of the affairs of the West Factory temporarily."
Although Wei Zhuang's Liusha and Prince Baiyue's Tianze have joined the Ming Dynasty for several days.
But in the end, he didn't achieve any credit.
Zhu Houzhao gave this order intentionally to give them a chance.
He also planned to merge Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze into the Western Factory in the future.
in his plan.
In the future, the Western Factory will have more functions besides monitoring officials.
More often, the information is scattered throughout Kyushu.
Provide enough intelligence to Zhu Houzhao.
Wei Zhuang's Liusha and Tianze are just right for these things.
"Yes!"
Zhuge Zhengwo and the God of Capture Liu Dufeng slowly retreated.
...
That's when.
Another report came from outside the hall.
It was Prime Minister Yang Heting and Li Dongyang who requested a meeting.
Yesterday, Zhu Houzhao learned the information from Hulong Villa.
So he let Yang Heting deal with the corrupt officials in the court on his own.
Yang Heting naturally did not dare to be negligent.
He drew up a rough list overnight.
After consulting with Li Dongyang and several important cabinet officials, he came to seek an audience with Your Majesty.
"Xuan!"
Zhu Houzhao said calmly.
He wanted to see what kind of list the Prime Minister could draw up.
I also want to see how many corrupt officials and treacherous ministers there are in the Ming Dynasty among this prime minister!
Accompanied by Yang Heting's heavy footsteps.
He walked slowly into the hall.
Then he presented a thick list with both hands: "This is the list of corrupt officials that I have drawn up!"
Zhu Houzhao had been on the throne for just over a month.
But what he has done has far surpassed the previous emperor.
Its strength and background make people panic.
The Six Tribes of Nanjing, Prince Ning’s Rebellion, and masters from various countries.
All of them were reduced to ashes under your majesty's suppression.
In this situation.
Yang Heting had long lost the intention to go against Zhu Houzhao.
I also know your Majesty's temperament.
Therefore, the list he drew up was very large.
Even his own disciples and fellow townsmen are among them.
It's full of sincerity.
.....
But after Zhu Houzhao carefully read the list.
But he said in a very calm tone: "Not enough."
not enough?!
Hear this.
Yang Heting's heart trembled.
Even the Second Assistant Li Dongyang looked up with an expression of astonishment.
He and Yang Heting drew up this list together.
I was even afraid that Your Majesty would be dissatisfied.
Li Dongyang even added more than ten names.
The final list consisted of sixty-seven people!
There are important ministers of the fourth rank above and officials of the ninth rank below.
But Your Majesty said it was not enough? !
Zhu Houzhao was not interested in playing any political tricks with them.
He said in a very calm tone: "I don't want to be Huang Chao."
"I don't intend to make the streets full of nobles."
"I have no intention of making the Ming Dynasty crystal clear!"
"I don't know how muddy the officialdom is, but I can guess a little."
"When water is too clear, there will be no fish. I also understand this principle!"
"But!" His tone suddenly turned cold: "If you dare to be greedy, you must have enough ability!"
"If you don't have enough ability but are unbridled in greed."
"Then the only outcome will be the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan!"
Zhu Houzhao was not afraid that the Ming Dynasty's ministers would be greedy for money.
As long as it's not excessive.
He doesn't care at all.
Looking at the history of China.
Which one is the truly honest and upright minister?
Some honest officials are even less capable than corrupt officials.
Aren’t those upright people who only care about seeking fame in the future the role models?
What Zhu Houzhao wants is capable ministers to govern the country!
The names on the lists drawn up by Yang Heting were indeed all corrupt officials and treacherous ministers.
But not enough!
Were there no corrupt officials above the fourth rank in the Ming Dynasty?
They are greedy!
However, even Yang Heting did not dare to take action against important officials above the fourth rank easily.
I dare not even put it on the list.
But these people had an enormous influence on the governance of the Ming Dynasty.
An order issued by an important official at the level of one of the six ministries could affect thousands of families.
These are the talents that Zhu Houzhao really wants to govern.
You can't do anything and yet you want to be greedy?!
Maybe it was possible in the ancient Ming Dynasty.
But this was absolutely not allowed in the future Ming Dynasty.
Either retire gracefully or do your job with trepidation.
As long as they had enough ability, Zhu Houzhao didn't mind if they were a little greedy.
.....
"The cabinet is going to draw up a new list."
"Give it to me in three days."
After saying this, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand calmly.
He just had to speak his mind.
Then set a standard.
The rest of the matters naturally do not need to be taken care of by him, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao only wanted a satisfactory result.
Yang Heting and Li Dongyang also knew this.
They also completely understood what His Majesty meant: "I...will take my leave."
The two of them also had a vague guess in their hearts.
Your Majesty does not want to punish some corrupt officials.
But he wanted to truly change the Ming Dynasty.
I also want to——reform the law!!!
