If anyone is unhappy, reward him with a few pills to eat, anyway, it is a reward, and there is no punishment.

As for poisoning, it means that the pill is poisonous. Investigate the responsibility of the alchemist, whoever refines the pill will cut it down.

It's perfect to find someone who is behind the pot, and then you will be rewarded with a generous burial.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Houzhao still dispelled this idea.

It's too yin to be a little bit more damaging than for yourself. This is what an emperor who plays with power should do, not what he should do.

At this point now, it is already a general trend, and there is no need to play with power.

The immediate thing is to kill this Taoist priest first, and other things can be put later.

As soon as this Taoist priest dies, everything will be over. Whatever intrigues he had, it was useless.

After this matter was explained, Zhu Houzhao did not pay attention to it anymore.

For Zhu Houzhao, he believes in Liu Jin. If this can't be done, then how can you become a generation of eunuchs?

You must know that among the eunuchs of the dictatorship of the past dynasties, Liu Jin is also the number one in the ranks.

Sitting behind his desk, Zhu Houzhao began to look through the folds.

Recently, there have not been many things in the imperial court, everything is going well in Liaodong, and there are no problems in the northwest. Although Wang Shouren came to a few folds, it can also be regarded as a war report, but it is basically good news.

For Wang Shouren's side, Zhu Houzhao was not too worried.

Because for Zhu Houzhao, he has enough trust in Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren's military literacy itself is very high, and coupled with the progress in the past few years, he has long been able to block one side.

Gansu is just a small battle, and it is not difficult for Wang Shouren at all.

On the contrary, it was the affairs of the capital that involved Zhu Houzhao's great energy.

Negotiations with Horqin have not yet begun, because Korqin's people have not yet arrived, but they are also coming soon.

In addition, it is this Taoist priest who is involved in Zhu Houzhao's energy.

But after tonight, things are much simpler.

After reading all the twists and turns, Zhu Houzhao didn't move. He began to wonder what he should do next.

In fact, I have completed my basic preparations and can start to push for reform.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao hasn't figured out which direction to proceed from.

The Royal Academy is progressing well, construction is almost complete, and news has spread.

After the entrance exams are completed, the Royal Academy will be officially operational. It's just that it's slower.

In the other direction, what Zhu Houzhao wants to implement is the examination method.

As for how to implement the examination method, Zhu Houzhao has not thought about it for the time being.

Although the imperial court had a system of secret folding, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was not enough, and a new inspection agency was still needed.

The establishment of the Six Doors has not yet been put on the agenda, but the Inspectorate can think of a way. Following the example of the Discipline Inspection Commission in the city, the inspectorate can be directly sent to the locality.

After these two things are done, you can implement tax separation.

It is also simple to say, that is, the power to collect taxes is stripped from the hands of the magistrates and handed over to the Ming Taxation Department. After several years of development, the Daming Tax Department has this ability.

The problem now is to promote this matter, I am afraid that it will provoke a big backlash.

In addition to the income, the income of local officials basically comes from taxes. Once they lose the power to tax, they have nowhere to collect money. In such a situation, it is inevitable that they will fight back.

In addition to the local officials, it should have been the gentry and landlords who opposed more. On the face of it, who collects taxes seems to have little to do with them. But in fact, far from it.

If it's a local official who collects taxes, then everyone is the same person. In addition, the local officials are basically their own people. Whether it's hiding the land or turning the upper field into a lower field, it is much less difficult.

But once it was replaced by the tax department, it was immediately different.

Since the establishment of the Tax Department, Zhu Houzhao has dispatched many people from the Black Dragon Army to rush in.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao also transferred Jinyiwei over, and it is much more difficult to be a ghost in the local area.

However, once this policy is implemented, it will also be beneficial to the subsequent policies.

For example, Zhu Houzhao will eventually implement the integration of the officials and gentry to pay for food, and it will be much easier to implement it on this basis.

However, these things are very difficult, and if you want to succeed at one time, I am afraid it will take a lot of time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince," Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said cautiously: "It's not early!" It's time for dinner. ”

Listening to Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked out, and found that he didn't know when, the sky had already darkened.

I've been sitting here thinking about it for so long.

With a self-deprecating smile, Zhu Houzhao stood up, and then said, "Then let's have dinner." ”

Liu Jin nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Then he went out and commanded the food to be served.

Zhu Houzhao didn't stay up late that night, he went to bed early.

But whether it is in the palace or in the capital, it is not peaceful.

In the auspicious alley of the capital, Yang Bin sat in the shadows with a blank face.

On Yang Bin's side, more than a dozen sturdy men were scattered on both sides of the street.

Glancing at the man standing in front of him, Yang Bin ordered: "Wait until that Zhang Sheng comes out, and arrest the person directly." Be careful around and don't let others see you. If anyone leaks the news, then go and receive the punishment themselves. ”

"My father-in-law has already said that this Zhang has no one in his life, no corpse in his life, and we want to let him disappear into this world quietly. You should understand what your father-in-law means. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the inferior rank understands." Everyone nodded hurriedly and said.

None of them wanted to be punished, and their father-in-law's methods were clear.

If things go wrong this time, the punishment will definitely not be as simple as hitting a few boards. In order not to learn the methods of his father-in-law, then the errand must be done well.

Not far away, a person ran over, came straight to Yang Bin's side, lowered his voice and said, "My lord, that Zhang Sheng is here." ”

"Ready to do it." Yang Bin nodded and said.

After a short time, a man staggered and walked over from a distance.

He carried a wine jar in his hand, and walked swearing.

Yang Bin glanced at it and confirmed that this person was Zhang Sheng.

As for why he scolded?

In fact, it is very simple, he lost money again tonight, he was going to spend the night in the casino, but he lost all his money after a while.

Zhang Sheng was walking forward when he suddenly felt someone behind him.

Before he could turn around, a strong arm strangled his neck, and in an instant he couldn't struggle, and it was impossible for him to make a sound.
