After the morning court session, Zhu Houzhao returned to the royal study.
At this moment, Wu Zhao was sitting at the table beside the dragon throne, reading the memorials sent by various places.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao enter, Wu Zhao looked up with a happy expression. He stepped forward and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"No need to be so polite! You continue to deal with your matters!"
Zhu Houzhao smiled. He casually waved his hand and sat on the dragon throne. He picked up a memorial that Wu Zhao had dealt with and began to read it.
At this moment, there were no outsiders present, so it was rare for him to relax.
After all, the emperor was very happy.
However, everyone would kowtow and bow to him when they saw him. Naturally, they would lose the freedom of ordinary people.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! This time, we can take back our military power."
Wu Zhao looked at Zhu Houzhao and realized that he was in a good mood. He immediately thought of something.
She was the one who had been serving Zhu Houzhao yesterday, so she was naturally very clear about Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
One of them was about Chen Zhibao's appointment.
This matter was extremely crucial.
Once Chen Zhibao became the Minister of War, in her eyes, this meant that Chen Zhibao would have complete control over the military.
It could be said that this matter was extremely important to Zhu Houzhao.
It was related to the first and most important step of Da Ming's rise.
"Military power? Hehehe!"
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao naturally knew what she was talking about. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh."Didn't I already have military power when Chen Zhibao led the Snow Dragon Cavalry to kill Pang Ban and Daoist Baisun?”
Wasn't the so-called military power just strength?
Now, letting Chen Zhibao take on the position of Minister of War was just to make this thing real.
Furthermore, when he was the Crown Prince, he had already arranged for Chen Zhibao to stay in the Northern Territory for three years.
Chen Zhibao had not been idling around for the past few years.
He seemed to be unknown, but in fact, he had secretly subdued many people.
With Chen Zhibao's strength, he had already taken over the entire Northern Border Guards.
Zai Zai became the Minister of War and took over the military power of the capital's garrison.
What he needed to do now was to let Chen Zhibao take action and take over the military power of the regions, especially the Central Plains region.
With such progress, the military power of Da Ming was already in Zhu Houzhao's hands.
Not to mention, with Zhu Bujue's surrender, the generals he had originally subdued also surrendered and chose to pledge loyalty to the emperor.
Now, with Chen Zhibao's righteousness in his hands and the combat strength of a top-notch Land Deity, it was only a matter of time before he took over all the military power.
"Uh…this…"
Wu Zhao frowned slightly.
Since Zhu Houzhao's goal was not to seize military power, then what did he want to do?
At this moment, even someone as smart as Wu Zhao could not understand Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
He already had the military power in his hands. Was that not enough?
In Wu Zhao's opinion, the most important thing was military power.
Only by seizing military power could he be considered an emperor with real power.
Of course, that was the truth.
Zhu Houzhao had always arranged it this way.
However, she was only thinking of a superficial arrangement.
"Taking back the military power is only one of the steps. In Zhen's eyes, the military power has always been there. Zhen is just taking it back..."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned cold as he said this. Killing intent surged in his eyes as he said coldly,""Martial Consort! Great Ming's true hidden danger was never military power, but those aristocratic families and local tyrants!”
As a transmigrator, he deeply understood the influence of aristocratic families in this world.
It could be said that these people were the true local emperors. Not only did they occupy the promotion channels, but they also controlled a large number of resources, such as the most important land.
The army was better in this aspect. After all, when the country was founded, it had established a unique system of guards.
The emperor monopolized the military power and set up guard posts in important places all over the country. The army had been in succession for generations, and the supplies relied on the wasteland.
Although there were still some places that were corrupted, and there were even soldiers who had their land seized because of various changes.
However!
In the end, there was relatively little movement in this area.
However, it was different when it came to ordinary people.
The problem of land annexation was extremely serious, causing many people to be displaced and become refugees.
If a major disaster happened, it would be even more miserable.
This was one of the most fatal problems of the Darming Empire.
The key to these problems was that the aristocratic families relied on their own resource advantages to continuously devour the land of the common people.
They even colluded with officials or were officials themselves, using this to continuously weaken the people.
When they obtained the land, they would use their advantage as scholars to obtain the tax exemption policy of the imperial court.
As long as this situation continued, Big Ming would be cold.
These people from the aristocratic families were like parasites. Although they did not look as rampant as the Great Sui and the Great Han, they could not be underestimated.
If Big Ming wanted to rise, he would have to sweep these pains into the trash.
For example, a few days ago, Prince Ning had killed many people from wealthy families.
He even asked Chen Zhibao to wait for a while, just to let Ning Wang kill everyone and then wait.
The land and other wealth were also given out, and the imperial court could once again complete the distribution of the public.
However, this method was only a stopgap measure.
It was impossible to solve the root of the problem. At most, it would only treat the symptoms.
Now, all he did was to solve the problem.
But in reality, it was also a support, and it served the final purpose.
That was the law.
