"Obstructing the tax reform and disobeying the king's orders. Men! Drag all these traitors down and kill them!”
Cao Zhengchun said sharply.
"What is it? Cao Zhengchun, you dare!"
These civil officials were shocked.
They actually want to kill us?
They didn't realize it at all.
Wang Zhi's face darkened as he stood there.
Most of the civil servants still had to follow Wang Zhi and unify their stand.
The remaining diehards of the aristocratic families were completely standing on the side of their aristocratic families.
He was in the court, but his heart was not in the court.
Selfishness was allowed.
However, his selfishness could not affect his public heart!
If these people were killed, then so be it!
Many of the civil officials from the aristocratic families had yet to react.
Immediately, the experts of the East Chamber dragged these people away one by one.
"Wait, I made a mistake just now. I said something wrong. Your Majesty, spare me…Your Majesty, spare me!”
"I don't deserve to die. The tax system shouldn't be reformed at all..."
"Tyrant!"
"Tyrant! Once this tyranny was unleashed, the world would bleed and the country would be shaken!”
The eunuch of the East Chamber dragged all of them away.
Some of them suddenly came to a realization and began to beg for mercy.
Some of them were still cursing the tyrant!
But immediately.
With a raise of his hand and a slash of his blade, the heads of the people behind him fell to the ground!
There was no more noise in the court!
"Historian, remember this."
Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
"Today, I will implement a whip law. Those who disobey will be beheaded.”
The historian wanted to record the emperor's daily life.
At this moment, he was sweating profusely as he hurriedly recorded it.
……
This decree was implemented.
Wang Zhi entered the cabinet.
He immediately issued a series of supporting decrees.
The world shook!
The Nine Provinces were shaken.
Countless families were shocked.
Some of them chose to obey in the dark and oppose in the light.
In the local areas, they colluded with officials, bribed imperial envoys…and other methods to resist the imperial edict.
But at this moment, the East Chamber followed him like a shadow.
He directly appeared in the depths of the aristocratic family and listed their crimes one by one.
Instant Slash!
The blood of aristocratic families!
"All the experts in the world want to join the East Chamber!”
Cao Zhengchun was pleased.
He now had the power to carry out punishments on behalf of the heavens and inspect the tax system reform of the world.
Of course, they had to absorb experts from all over the world to join the East Chamber and expand their influence.
In the martial world, countless experts paled when they heard the name of the East Chamber.
If the East Chamber wants you to join, then you have to join!
He had no right to refuse!
Countless experts filled the vacancy in the East Chamber.
These experts were all extremely powerful.
Even if the aristocratic families had private soldiers and hanger-ons.
It couldn't resist the East Hall's surveillance.
"Damn it! Cao Zhengchun deserves to die!"
"His Majesty listened to calumny and ruled tyrannically. We have been officials for generations, but we actually suffered such a fate!”
"We have to fight back and deal with the East Chamber!”
Everyone in the aristocratic families was unwilling.
With the implementation of the whip law, their interests suffered a great loss.
The local officials kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to interfere with the tax collection.
Hundreds of thousands, millions of taels of silver flowed into the capital like flowing water.
As for the aristocratic families, they were unwilling and acted rashly.
He was targeted by the East Chamber.
If the punishment is light, the chief criminal will be beheaded and his property will be confiscated.
In the worst case, the families would be exterminated. The large families in a county or a state would be instantly destroyed, and blood would flow like a river!
How powerful were the aristocratic families?
The court, the grass…
There were countless arrangements and they were deeply rooted.
At this moment, even in front of the experts of the East Chamber, blood flowed like a river.
He had to use all kinds of methods!
"We have to fight back. We have to strike the East Chamber hard and force His Majesty to retract his order!”
"Send this secret letter to the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa!”
"Send this secret letter to the Great General of Fear!”
"Send this secret letter to…"
The aristocratic families finally made their move.
Facing the cabinet overseeing the tax system and the purge of the East Chamber.
Secret letters were sent everywhere like snowflakes!
……
At this moment.
Zhu Qiyu was in his bedroom.
The eunuch came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Chamberlain of Dependencies is here to see you."
"Summon him in."
Very quickly.
The minister of the Chamberlain of Dependencies came in to greet the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the King of Annan has come to pay tribute today. He has presented 100,000 taels of silver, 1,000 pieces of jade, and five pairs of elephants…"
"Hmm?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
"The King of Annan came personally? Was this how the tributes were in the past?”
"That's not the case. In the past, tributes would take some time, and envoys would usually be sent.”
The Chamberlain of Dependencies hurriedly replied.
"This time, the King of Annan has personally come to pay tribute. He said that he heard that Your Majesty has ascended the throne and specially came to pay his respects to Your Majesty to show his sincerity and loyalty to the Great Ming Dynasty for generations.”
"Oh, I see. I originally wanted to use Jiaozhi as an example, but I didn't expect this person to be so alert.”
Zhu Qiyu nodded.
To Da Ming, Annan had nothing to do with sincerity or loyalty.
Back then, why did the British Duke Zhang Fu go to Annan?
It was because An Nan was dishonest and wanted to betray Da Ming.
After the suppression, it was changed to Jiaozhi.
Three more rebellions.
What did such a country have to do with loyalty?
However, the etiquette of the King of Annan had reached the limit.
He had personally come to pay his respects to Emperor Jingtai!
Moreover, the tribute gifts he brought were several times more than before.
"Forget it. On account of his loyalty, I won't destroy Annan.”
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand.
"Give this jade pendant to him."
How noble was the Emperor's personal item?
Although it was only a small jade pendant.
However, obtaining such a reward meant that the Emperor had acknowledged the loyalty of the courtiers.
The essence of a vassal country was to be an external minister!
It was extremely rare for loyalty to be recognized.
……
In the inn.
The King of Annan paced back and forth.
He was very anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
He was the first to arrive and come to see the current emperor.
Logically speaking, he should have won some.
However, he did not understand Tian Zi's temper.
What if the current emperor felt that his gift was too thin?
If he felt that his worship was not respectful enough?
