Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 381

He thought that if it hadn't been a coincidence today, there might have been a big problem.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li and several pavilion elders would like to see you." Cao Zhengchun came slowly.

"What are they here for? Is there something important? Please come in!" Zhu Shou was very curious and entrusted him with the country; Li Dongyang and others were indeed worthy of his trust, and together with Wu Meiniang, they handled the Ming Dynasty affairs very properly.

"I will pay my respects to the king." Li Dongyang and others followed Cao Zhengchun and walked in. Although they were not martial arts masters, they had also practiced health-preserving skills. Their bones were strong and they could walk with great strength. They were full of awe-inspiring righteousness and were better than ordinary people. Much more powerful.

"We all came together to find Gu, but Gu didn't expect it. Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhu Shou looked at everyone's anxious expressions and asked everyone to sit down.

Li Dongyang and others looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces, as if something big was going on.

"Why, it's hard to tell. Or should I say, Queen, you also know about this?" Zhu Shou looked at the restless people, and his eyes suddenly fell on Wu Meiniang.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing. Even the clan's salary will start to be distributed." Wu Meiniang coughed lightly.

"It's time to pay the royal family salary. Just pay it how you want it to be paid? Aren't they normal for Hou, Bo, Zi, Nan, Zhenguo General, Feng'en General, etc.?" Zhu Shou said nonchalantly. .

"Your Majesty said it lightly, but do you know how many people there are in my Ming Dynasty clan now?" Wu Meiniang snorted: "Since King Wu to now, there are 20 people in my Ming Dynasty clan."

"After so many years, 20 people is not too much!" Zhu Shou quickly understood what everyone meant and couldn't help but said: "You think the money allocated each time is too much."

"If I go back to the king, the money allocated every year accounts for more than half of the previous years' harvest." Li Dongyang said with a wry smile: "Even so, there are still clan members complaining that the imperial court does not provide enough money."

"More than half?" Zhu Shou was shocked. He didn't expect that the court would spend so much money every year just to support some useless clans. The Ming court's annual tax revenue was also quite a lot, but there was also a lot of money to spend. , now they have to spend more than half of their money to support a group of wastes. No wonder these people are unhappy.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem for the court to support the clan, but do the clan members of the court really need to be supported? The Marquis of Zhou has 40 hectares of land, and these lands are not taxed. The Marquis of Shu owns even more land. The same is true for Daihou. Hehe, not only do they not pay taxes, but they also receive salary from the court. The taxes from Daihou and Daihou can't support Daihou's family. Isn't this a big joke?" Xie Qian said with a white face. His beard trembled.

"Is it such an exaggeration? Didn't other princes and kings come here like this?" Zhu Shou said hesitantly.

"So, until now, I am the only one in the Ming Dynasty who still has peace in the world. The rest of the Yuan, Song, and Sui kingdoms are rampant in rebellion, and the country will be ruined." Wu Meiniang said unceremoniously.

Zhu Shou glanced at everyone, and immediately chuckled: "I asked you why you came together today, it turns out that you are all here waiting for me! Tell me! What are you going to do? You can't just ignore these people! If this is the case, I'm afraid everyone in the world will say that Gu is not humane at all and that he can't even tolerate his own relatives. I'm afraid Gu cannot bear this reputation."

In fact, Zhu Shou naturally had no feelings for these clan members. Even if he killed all these people, Zhu Shou would not blink an eye.It's just that when he said this, he wanted Li Dongyang and others to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty, I want to send someone to find out." Li Dongyang and others looked at each other, and seeing Zhu Shou's calm expression, they quickly said: "After all, since King Wu established the world, my Ming Dynasty clan now has 20 people. It's been so long that no one can guarantee whether these clans are very honest in the local area and whether there are any things happening to their neighbors."

"It seems that this method can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause! It is always unacceptable to expect others to make mistakes." Zhu Shou immediately understood what everyone was thinking. This is indeed a method. From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, from the How many years have passed since several Saihou.There must be some clans that violate Ming law. If they are caught and punished, some people can be eliminated in a short time.

"Your Majesty, this is the only way to prevent your Majesty's wisdom from being damaged." Jiao Fang explained.

"So, I have to thank you all." Zhu Shou sneered: "To be honest, I don't care about reputation or anything like that. As long as the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, everything else is secondary. There are so many clans in the Ming Dynasty, But there are very few who can truly serve the country. These people are just trash at best. Do you care about what these trash think?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Li Dongyang and others nodded repeatedly. These words were only spoken by Zhu Shou. If everyone could say them themselves, they would naturally not exist.After all, these clans are also human beings.

"Now that it's been decided, let's implement it! Send out capable personnel to join Minglou to investigate, and let Gu Ye see if there are any people loyal to the laws of the Ming Dynasty in my clan." Zhu Shou waved his hand and asked Everyone retreated. "I'll leave." Li Dongyang and others quickly retreated after receiving Zhu Shou's acquiescence.

"What do you want to do?" After everyone left, Zhu Shou asked Wu Meiniang on the side.At this time, Zhu Shou noticed something abnormal, Wu Meiniang's abnormality.

"Your Majesty, Minglou recently discovered that clans in various places seem to be secretly meeting some people. I think this is not a good phenomenon, so I want to send someone to investigate, but I can't find an excuse." Wu Meiniang did not hide it.

"Do you think these people who have lost their rights can still cause trouble?" Zhu Shou couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, I see that these people are the biggest concern. Your Majesty is very ambitious. If you want to replace Da Zhou in the future, you should be surrounded by some virtuous ministers and strong generals. Not only are all the young talents in the clan, you can't They are some wine bags and rice bags, a group of people who have different intentions from the king!" Wu Meiniang said sternly: "I believe that these people have joined forces with Hao Jing. Even if they have not joined forces, they are colluding in private. Since there is collusion in private, then Don’t take things lightly and nip these dangers in the bud.”

Zhu Shou was silent after hearing this. This Wu Meiniang was really a cruel character. She could do anything to clear out the moths within the Ming Dynasty clan.

"Hao Jing has not relaxed its efforts to infiltrate our country during this period. Ming Lou has arrested a lot of people recently. Although these people come from all over the world, I always think that behind these people are the ghosts of Hao Jing. "Wu Meiniang explained.

"The reason why the Martial Saint Mansion is so powerful is not only Yin Xi's Martial Saint cultivation, but also how many talents Yin Xi has cultivated over the years. The Demon Sect once sent someone to tell me that Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Temple are actually the same Wusheng Mansion has a lot to do with it, and this is what worries the most, how many chess pieces Yin Xi has arranged over the years." Zhu Shou nodded.

From this point of view, no matter what decision Wu Meiniang makes, or how vigilant she is about Wu Sheng Mansion, it cannot be overstated.

"Recently, a man named Wusheng Laomu appeared in the territory of Ninghou. He is very powerful in martial arts. Some people in his sect say that those who believe in Wusheng Laomu can be invulnerable to weapons and can enter their empty hometown after death."

"A man named Li Hong appeared in the territory of Zhouhou. He is known as the reincarnation of Laojun. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also comes and goes without a trace. He seems to be a god and has many followers!"

……

One after another, strange people and strangers appeared in front of Zhu Shou one after another. Although they looked interesting, they could also see the weirdness contained in them.

"Where did these guys come from? Is there any news from Minglou?" Zhu Shou immediately understood that Wu Meiniang's worry was not unreasonable. Those people were hiding in secret and plotting.

"Some people are fake, but some people are real, and their origins are quite mysterious. Minglou has already started to investigate, but I am worried that after the investigation, it will be ignored." Wu Meiniang looked at Zhu with some worry life.

"Who do you think is behind this? Is it the clans of Gu or Haojing?" Zhu Shou saw Wu Meiniang's worry and said: "The clan, if you regard them as clans, then they are clans. If you don't treat them If they do anything, then they are nothing. Do you think Gu will care about those people? Gu believes that few of those people care about Gu."

How many generations have passed from King Mingwu to the present, family ties have long since faded away, and all that remains is interests.

"I wonder if these people are from the same group. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they all appeared together." Wu Meiniang collected all the situations and said: "Your Majesty, the appointment of the marquis is three months away. Before, Marquis Ning was two months ago, Marquis Zhou was a month ago. If it had been a year or two, I would think it was normal. After all, the common people had little knowledge. This kind of thing was normal, but it was only half a year. If it appears inside, I will consider it abnormal."

"So, are you going to use the salary thing to find out what's behind these clans?" Zhu Shou immediately understood Wu Meiniang's plan behind this matter. The other party found the difference from some small things.

"Yes, no matter what the other party wants to do, one thing is for sure, that is, it cannot be separated from the clan. No matter what the final result is, we will have no problem punishing these clans." Wu Meiniang was proud.

No matter what these people want to do, as long as you are strong enough, you don't have to worry about any conspiracies of these people, and you can even use the other party's hands to achieve your goals.

"It's bad luck for these people if they meet you." Zhu Shou was convinced.
