At night.
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Yijun prepared to rest.
Suddenly, a series of light footsteps sounded outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
"Come in!"
"Yes."
Cao Zhengchun bowed and walked into Yangxin Palace Hall. He said respectfully,""Your Majesty, I've found some information. Please take a look.”
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun took out a secret report from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun glanced at the secret report and slowly said, Does Hai Rui know about this?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've already informed Sir Hai.”
Zhu Yijun nodded slightly.
It was already difficult to implement the One Whip Technique, but what Zhu Yijun did not expect was that the difficulties would appear so quickly.
"Have you found out who is behind this?”
"Your Majesty, we haven't found anything yet!”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. It only takes three days. Within three days, I will definitely investigate this matter!”
Zhu Yijun's eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded and said,"Just do it!"
"Unless necessary, I don't want the Divine Constabulary to be involved in this matter too early.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cao Zhengchun replied respectfully and slowly retreated from Yangxin Hall.
……
Under the starry night.
East Chamber.
Tiger Hall.
Cao Zhengchun sat on the white tiger chair with his sword in front of him.
I don't know when, the east factory second gear head, third gear head and factory guard and so on are waiting for orders in the tiger hall.
Cao Zhengchun's hawk-like eyes coldly swept across everyone present and said solemnly,""Today, I have called all of you here because I have something to tell you!”
"His Majesty wanted to carry out the one-whip method, but someone obstructed him.”
"As the Emperor's most loyal lackey, what I have to do is to clear all obstacles for His Majesty!”
"Even if you have to pay with your lives.”
"Everyone in the world regards the East Chamber as a dog! Tian Zi's minions!"
"But I like it when they call me that!”
"Do you know why?"
Teasing and sneering sounds rang out in the Tiger Hall. Everyone present held their breaths as they listened to the lecture of the supervisor of the East Hall.
"Tell me, why?"
Cao Zhengchun pointed at Second Gear and asked coldly.
Second Gear's face trembled as he stepped forward,""Supervisor, because everything we have was given to us by His Majesty!”
"Even if Your Majesty wants us to give up our lives, it would be our honor!”
"Good! Very good!"
Cao Zhengchun's smile was bright, and a cold light flashed in his crescent eyes.
"But now! Someone made His Majesty unhappy!"
"Go!"
"Find them for our family!"
"I don't care what kind of identity they have or what kind of background they have.”
"Understood!"
Under Cao Zhengchun's arrangement, the Second and Third Gear Chiefs left the East Chamber in a hurry.
In the silent night, the capital was silent.
Suddenly, the fire lingered, and the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard on the street.
Da da ~
The East Chamber natives rode their horses through the streets of the capital.
In the darkness, countless factory guards were holding bows and crossbows, hiding in the surroundings.
Bang!
A shop was kicked open.
Countless factory guards rushed in like a fountain.
"Who are you? What do you want?”
The waiter was stunned and asked in horror.
"East Hall!"
"Take them down!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!”
"Understood!"
When the people in the shop heard the other party's identity, their faces instantly turned pale.
The son of the East Chamber is famous for killing people.
It was not inferior to the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"W-what crime have we committed? Why are they arresting us?!”
"My lord, my lord!"
Second Gear stepped forward and said coldly,""You openly disobeyed His Majesty's imperial edict and obstructed His Majesty from implementing the one-whip law!”
"Take him away!"
"Sir, we are innocent! We're innocent!"
No matter how much the shopkeeper cried, he was still captured by the guards of the East Hall.
At the same time, in various parts of the capital, the guards of the East Chamber were searching for the troublemakers.
……
The next day.
Golden Palace.
The officials who didn't know what had happened last night entered the court.
"Do you have anything to report?”
Zhu Yijun looked around at the civil and military officials and asked in a clear voice.
No one replied.
When Zhu Yijun saw this, he couldn't help but laugh."Today is quite interesting!"
"Could it be that no one has reported the state affairs today?”
From time to time, an official walked out of the court and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, the country is prosperous and the people are at peace. The people live and work in peace and contentment.”
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he nodded slightly and smiled."If it's really as you say, then it's naturally a good thing.”
"But why did I hear that there was quite a commotion among the people?”
Tian Zi's cold tone scared the minister.
"Minister Wang, why don't you tell me?”
The Minister of Revenue, Wang Guoguang, quickly walked out of the court and said with a solemn expression,"Your Majesty, according to what I know, the prices of grain and cloth in the capital and the surrounding cities have soared in recent days.”
"There is even a batch of illegal salt among the people.”
"Ha!"
Zhu Yijun sneered and looked at the officials."Is this the peace and prosperity that the beloved ministers mentioned?”
"Do you want to wait until the whole world rebelles before you dare to tell me the truth?”
The emperor's furious voice suddenly rang out in the hall, and all the civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground in fear.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We know our sins."
"Gao Gong."
The cabinet chief assistant hurriedly walked out of the court and said,""Your subject is here."
"On this matter, you and the Minister of Revenue should quickly stabilize the situation among the people.”
When Gao Gong heard this, his expression was filled with embarrassment.
The reason behind this was because of the one-whip law and tax reform implemented by the emperor.
If he wanted to stabilize this matter, he had to stop the series of decrees that the emperor had implemented.
However, if he were to say all his thoughts, he would also anger Tian Zi.
For a moment, Gao Gong was speechless.
Zhu Yijun seemed to have read Gao Gong's mind and said coldly,""If the two of you can't do a good job in this matter, you don't have to stay in this position!”
"Whoever has the ability will take over!"
Gao Gong and Wang Guoguang's bodies trembled slightly. They quickly lowered their heads and respectfully replied,"We will obey."
