Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 210: Controlling water transportation is controlling the lifeblood of a family
"What are the complaints? What are the common people?" Zhu Houzhao's voice gradually became louder, full of anger and dissatisfaction.

"Why are you so opposed to the revision of the law? Is it because of the common people, or are you afraid that the revision of the law will harm your interests?"

He was condescending and glanced at everyone with cold and sharp eyes: "You are all court officials. You all look sanctimonious, but under the banner of 'complaining among the people', all you are pursuing is your own selfish interests."

“The Ming Dynasty ended up in such a situation because of people like you who are just eating corpses!”

His voice almost shattered the silence of the entire Jinluan Palace, and every word was filled with overwhelming anger.

The thunderous sound resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace, shocking everyone's hearts.

"This……"

The civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but look at each other, speechless, and their expressions became extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, please be aware that we are loyal to our country and have absolutely no intention of giving up!"

"Your Majesty, please be aware that we are really doing this for the common people."

"That's right, Wei Chen really didn't..."

For a moment, they were fighting each other one after another, with endless fear and pleading in their voices.

Zhu Houzhao's words seemed like a heavy blow, frightening everyone's faces to pale and their livers and gallbladders to burst.

At this moment, everyone was panicking, with a look of panic on their faces.

They deeply felt Zhu Houzhao's strength and determination, as if they could see the scene of his bloodbath in the court reappearing before their eyes.

They never expected that Zhu Houzhao's attitude would be so tough, which made the plans they had prepared in their minds completely useless.

Zhu Houzhao looked down at them coldly, with no mercy in his eyes, only determination and indifference.

At this time, he didn't intend to continue talking nonsense with them.

"I will allow all of you to resign if you want to, and I will never hire you."

He put his hands behind his back, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and his tone was so unquestionable.

"As well as you, the children of aristocratic families who are serving as officials in the court, I will not take any responsibility for the past.

If I find someone who is corrupt in the future, they will die. "

His voice echoed throughout the hall, and every word was decisive and unquestionable.

For a moment, the hall was silent. Everyone was shocked by Zhu Houzhao's words, and they did not dare to have any more thoughts of arguing.

Zhu Houzhao's majesty and determination have exceeded their imagination, and no one can resist his will.

The cold eyes fell on them, as if they were enveloped by an invisible pressure, depressing and heavy.

At this moment, their hearts felt cold, as if they were immersed in ice.

They deeply felt Zhu Houzhao's strict and uncompromising attitude.

They understand that if they dare to say the word 'no' again, it is not a question of whether to resign or not, but a question of whether this head can guarantee it.

Other emperors may be concerned about their face and dare not go on a killing spree in the court.

But since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, has he done less of this kind of thing?
There was a heavy and depressing atmosphere in the hall, and everyone lowered their heads silently, not daring to show any disrespect.

"I know that you dare to be angry but dare not speak out. You will say: Since ancient times, the emperor has always shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats."

Seeing the trembling in the hearts of the ministers, Zhu Houzhao sneered in his heart, and every word was filled with incomparable cruelty and irony.

"But today I tell you clearly that I have always shared the world with the people!"

Then Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Changqing on the side and said calmly: "In addition to the laws, the court system will also be changed."

Cao Changqing also announced the pre-prepared decree.

These decrees related to Taiyuan University, imperial examinations and other aspects of people's livelihood.

For example, the state financed the establishment of Taiyuan University, the reform of the imperial examination system, the reform of private schools, etc., everything was detailed.

Once these decrees are promulgated and implemented, they will inevitably trigger a series of reforms and completely transform the Ming Dynasty.

And this is exactly what Zhu Houzhao wants to see.Since the stagnant water of the Ming Dynasty is already dead and can no longer be dead, it is better to break it and build it up again, pumping out the stagnant water and filling it with new water.

Only through thorough reform can Ming Dynasty regain its vitality and hope.

Doing so will inevitably arouse the family's anger and opposition, leading to great chaos.

However, Zhu Houzhao was not worried about this.

The Ming Dynasty might have been worried about this in the past, but now there are so many invincible heavenly beings like the Heavenly Master, who are enough to suppress all unrest.

Moreover, targeting the aristocratic family was not just a whim of his. He had already started planning before solving the feudal king issue.

As the problems of the court and the vassal kings were solved one by one, the right-hand man of the aristocratic family had long been cut off, and his influence was not as good as before.

The current aristocratic family has nothing but massive wealth.

What's more, the wealthy family will no longer have money from now on.

……

After the court meeting was over, Zhu Houzhao came to the imperial study.

Li Chenzhou has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Li Chenzhou immediately knelt down and said, "Li Chenzhou, a common man, pays homage to your majesty."

"Well, let's get flat."

After Zhu Houzhao sat down, he looked at Li Chenzhou with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "How did you go about the things I told you?"

"Your Majesty, with the persistence of Thirteen Thousand People, the Power Gang has penetrated into every aspect of the family."

Li Chenzhou also raised his head slightly and said with great excitement: "As for the water transportation that His Majesty pays close attention to, it is all under the control of the power gang."

Since the rise of the Power Gang, countless aristocratic families have rushed to cooperate with the Power Gang.

And with the support of thirteen thousand wealth, the power gang's business has spread all over the world.

He also knew something about the promulgation of the new law.

He understood that it was time to close the net, which made him extremely excited: "The long-distance transfer of goods relies heavily on water transportation. As long as we grasp the water transportation, we have grasped the lifeblood of those aristocratic families."

"As long as His Majesty gives an order, we can cut off the relationship with the aristocratic families. Those aristocratic families will definitely not be able to hold on for long."

"good."

Hearing such an answer, Zhu Houzhao also smiled and said: "It is extremely ridiculous for those wealthy families to try to threaten me by closing their shops."

"Order the stores under your control to operate normally and seize the opportunity to seize the market. Do not protect people's livelihood."

Although this would be a bit troublesome, it could also weaken the influence of the aristocratic family to the extreme.

Once these aristocratic families can no longer monopolize the market, they will decline and decline on their own, heading towards their doom step by step.

Dahan Palace.

Liu Che sat alone on the throne, staring into the distance, quietly listening to the news from the world.

Just as he expected, the Shenlong incident caused an uproar, and countless people and forces were turbulent because of it.

Even Ming Dynasty took frequent actions because of this incident.

The matter of slaying the divine dragon together has become the focus of the world's attention. Everyone is eager to obtain the dragon essence and pursue the way to immortality.

However, they did not know that what was about to greet them was not Long Yuan or immortality, but a death trap.

He wants to use Long Yuan as bait to lure the world's masters to kill each other, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Those who covet Long Yuan will eventually become pawns in his hands and be sacrificed by him one by one.

They were eager for the dragon element that seemed to be able to bring immortality, but they did not realize that it would become a weapon that could take away their lives.
