In the palace, Xiao Ruxun quickly got the confession, the confession full of the list he wanted.

After reading it, Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"This confession is not enough, now there is only one handprint, one handprint is not enough, a few more handprints, more handprints on it to make this list more lethal, this time, I want to do things absolutely and cleanly, the kind that does not leave a single one, understand?"

Zhou Yao took back the confession and nodded.

"The subordinates will let Zhu Yinghuai admit this matter as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "If you need anything, just tell me, I will provide it all to you, don't worry, keep your hand, you are my person, I will ensure that you are rich and prosperous all your life, this sentence, only I can say in the whole world." ”

Zhou Yao immediately knelt down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Xiao Ruxun stood up and personally helped Zhou Yao up.

"If you do too many of these things, you will inevitably have some diaphragms in your heart, read more books when you have nothing to do, go out to play in the mountains and rivers, relieve the boredom in your heart, you can't always be stuffy underground, you can do things that don't see the light, but people who can't see the light can't do it, this is the reason why I gave you this identity in the criminal department."

Zhou Yao said he understood.

And then I quickly went back to doing what I had to do.

Xiao Ruxun walked out of the Qianqing Palace, strolled at the gate of the palace, and watched the sun shine in front of the main hall, and his determination became even stronger.

At the same time, Ye Xianggao, who was quickly promoted to the head of the household department after Zhao Shiqing's death, was in the cabinet and had further consultations with the cabinet elders on the issue of Ma Zheng.

While investigating Zhao Shiqing's case, the emperor made people panic, and on the other hand, he demanded that the operation of the government should not be stopped, no matter who was taken away, someone must immediately make up for it, things could not be stagnant, what should be done or how to do things, if something went wrong, there would be no mercy at all.

In this context, the imperial court is still running at a high speed, and no one knows who will be arrested next, but no one dares to slack off.

So Ye Xianggao immediately took over from Zhao Shiqing and began to deal with Ma Zheng's affairs.

In the past two months, Zhao Shiqing has racked his brains to arrange and improve Ma Zheng, and on the premise of learning from the experience of the previous generation, he has also made some improvements, and what Ye Xianggao took over and saw was already a draft.

"Then, if you are willing to raise horses for the imperial court, you can be exempted from Ding service, this article should be uncontroversial, two elders, what do you think?"

Ye Xianggao looked at Wang Xijue, and then at Li Tingji.

The two nodded together.

"This article is an important item, and it was personally mentioned by His Majesty, and it was also practiced in the previous dynasty, and the effect was very good, so there is no problem with this article."

Wang Xijue has no opinion.

"Although the old man doesn't have any opinions, but is it possible to stipulate the specific amount, for example, a horse is exempted from the servitude of a strong man, and if there is a surplus in the family, a few more horses can be raised, so that if it is a family with more strong men, more people can be exempted from the servitude."

Li Tingji wanted to make some improvements.

Ye Xianggao thought for a while and said: "In this case, the imperial court needs to prove the property, and the cost of raising horses is very large, not all families can afford it, if there is really money to afford, then of course it doesn't matter."

However, if horses are forcibly raised in order to avoid military service, not only the horses will be harmed, but also the people, and the horses that are not fat enough will not be allowed to go to the battlefield. ”

Wang Xijue agreed.

"Ye Butang is right, only those who have surplus wealth and can raise horses can adopt war horses and become horse households, ordinary families can't afford it, so don't force apportionment, this matter should be paid attention to, give orders to the localities, let local officials keep an eye on it, and don't make a big deal for the sake of political achievements and exemption from servitude."

Wang Xijue looked a little cautious.

Come to think of it, as the head of the ministers, or the head of the ministers of the previous dynasty, Wang Xijue's situation is as embarrassing as anyone, especially in this stall, this period when the emperor is furious and wants to thoroughly investigate Zhao Shiqing's case, if Wang Xijue does something wrong, it will affect the whole body.

Wang Xijue didn't do it carelessly.

The same is true of Li Tingji, who was once sharp, but at this time he seemed to be a perfect obedient minister, never raised any objections, and conscientiously carried out the emperor's orders, and the emperor said whatever he wanted.

Of course, the same is true for Ye Xianggao, they don't seem to mention that the emperor is carrying out a purge at all, as if this matter has nothing to do with them at all.

"Then the next is the amount of tax reduction, the cost of raising horses is very large, less than a certain amount of property can not raise horses, and horse farmers should also be exempted from taxes according to their own income, not everything is one-size-fits-all, this is Your Majesty's original words."

Ye Xianggao repeated Xiao Ruxun's words.

"In this case, according to His Majesty's request, should there also be a hierarchy among horse breeders?"

Li Tingji looked at Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue expressed his affirmation.

"This is natural, since it is His Majesty's request, of course we have to do it, and this itself is right, we are politicians, everything cannot be one-size-fits-all, the more detailed the regulations, the lower the possibility of the people below doing something, I have to say, Your Majesty Shengming!"

Wang Xijue looked like he was sighing, and he looked like he had met the ancient Mingjun.

In the next moment, a cabinet official hurriedly walked into the cabinet duty room, saw Wang Xijue, Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao, and hurriedly said: "First assistant, second assistant, Ye Butang, just now there is news from outside, saying that Gu Dali, Marquis of Zhenyuan, seems to have recruited a large number of people, saying that it is the same party of Zhu Yinghuai, the Duke of Chengguo, who is plotting against him. ”

The entire cabinet room fell silent.

Ye Xianggao didn't move, and even his expression remained the same, but his pupils shrank, and then returned to their original state.

Wang Xijue and Li Tingji were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed smiling faces.

"These rebellions, good days, but you have to do something rebellious, the new dynasty will be stable in the world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, how good is this? They are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and if this kind of rebellion is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the world! ”

Wang Xijue immediately expressed his absolute support for Xiao Ruxun: "Your Majesty is wise, you will definitely find out about this matter and wipe out all the traitors, we just need to do our own thing, don't worry about anything else." ”

Li Tingji also said: "Everyone listens to Shoufu, Shoufu is not wrong to say this, we do what we have to do, and we don't have to worry about anything else." ”

The two cabinet elders said this, and the cabinet clerks had no choice but to start their work again, but they also looked uneasy, and their steps became a lot more hurried.

"Where did we just go?"

Wang Xijue looked at Ye Xianggao.

Ye Xianggao also looked at Wang Xijue.

Less leaning.

"As for how to classify the horse households according to the amount of property, and stipulate the amount of tax exemption respectively, try not to give the people below the opportunity to tamper with their intentions, and enrich the war horses of Daqin for the future Northern Expedition."

Ye Xianggao pulled the topic back to its original position.

The trio continued their discussion.

No matter how strong the storm is outside.
