At the court meeting, although Zhu Zilong stood very forward, he only stood back after stating the progress of his work as a Taoist official, and seemed to be a crowd of melon eaters watching the play.

As the hundreds of officials stated the content of their respective key points one by one, Zhu Zilong began to recall in his mind while listening to the content of the plan he had heard and knew before, and he was ready to act at any time.

Just a few days ago, almost all the officials who participated in the secret meeting completed the tasks assigned by Zhu Zilong.

Originally, those officials had the intention to come to see in person, but they were afraid that Zhao Tingzhi would find out, so they just notified Zhu Zilong by sending secret letters. And the Ministry of Economic Affairs, from the Ministry of Household to the Ministry of Rites, all the officials who surrendered to Cheng revealed Zhao Tingzhi's follow-up work content and plan to Zhu Zilong.

It can be said that Zhao Tingzhi not only became a single commander without knowing it, but also knew everything he wanted to do.

And in the end, Zhu Zilong also found a breakthrough. decided to send Zhao Ting to step down in advance, starting with his corruption and bribery, and then relaying some suspicions of dereliction of duty, and finally causing the emperor's dissatisfaction with him. Don't want him to go to prison for a felony or something, just force him to return to his hometown in advance. At the same time, let other neutral officials see clearly that Zhu Zilong's power has risen.

In fact, this method is also the easiest way for senior officials in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs to step down in all dynasties.

Of course, the premise is that the above intends to rectify you, and you have already given people a false air. Or the new emperor ascends the throne and uses you as a chicken to show the monkey, under normal circumstances, it is similar to a high-ranking official who has a lover, relying only on this kind of problem, there are really not many people who step down quickly.

However, because of this, if a prime minister can be forced to step down, it is enough to make the Manchu Dynasty look sideways, and he has to look at Zhu Zilong, the secret sword-wielder.

The method is simple, but it is also very effective, and above the officialdom, this practice has always been a classic technique for politicians to establish their authority.

As the saying goes, when the officialdom reaches a certain level, uniting allies and isolating opponents is the key. If you really want to be so bigger and stronger, let alone a heavy minister, even if it is the emperor in front of you, you have to give up three points after Dacheng.

Moreover, the Qingliu people did not do this less. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, as far as Zhu Zilong knew about the history, the Donglin Party was more handy in playing this place.

In fact, Zhao Tingzhi is also going to check Zhu Zilong's account in a similar way in a few days. started with the accounts of Huangzhuang and Xinyanye, but unfortunately he didn't know it now, and his backyard had already caught fire.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong almost couldn't help laughing. In fact, he Yagen is not afraid of Zhao Tingzhi's hand!

Think about it yesterday, when I entered the palace, I handed over a deposit of several million guan to the emperor. Zhao Ji's unbelievable eyes, his face was shocked, and his words were slightly incoherent. and the scene where the eunuchs on the side were also in a daze and couldn't come back to their senses, Zhu Zilong knew it very well.

Whoever moves himself on this issue is simply looking for death, what is the difference between this and the profit of the emperor by force?

Millions of them, and they can all be put into the inner warehouse. It may sound like a tiny fraction compared to the country's taxes, but this is the emperor's net income, can this be the same as taxes?

The annual tax revenue of the entire Great Song Dynasty is indeed more than 100 million guan, but each has its own usefulness, and the idle silver that can be left every year, the treasury and the inner treasury combined, are only less than one million.

It can be said that Emperor Comrade Zhao Ji himself never considered himself a rich emperor. At all times, the desire for money is the same as art. occupies a very important proportion in his heart, otherwise in the original history, he would not have hated Cai Jing very much at times, but he still reused him several times.

The reason is that Cai Jing is more capable of getting him money to spend.

And now, it is obvious that Zhu Zilong has the ability to do more than anyone else, and he has brought him a lot of money to spend. And it's his own son (copycat), how can he not be excited, can he not favor Zhu Zilong?

is so famous and strong, which is also where Zhu Zilong's confidence lies. Technology is changing the world, and it is also changing its social status.

For Zhao Ji, the emperor who is used to being poor, Zhu Zilong is definitely an indispensable existence from now on.

Of course, Zhu Zilong's acquaintance is not without rewards. In a Great Song Dynasty that did not control land annexation very much, Zhao Ji was very close to rewarding Zhu Zilong with a large piece of land that originally belonged to Huangzhuang, as well as the surrounding wasteland.

In the emperor's opinion, these imperial villages have managed these places over the years, and it would be good if they didn't lose money, Yagen didn't generate much profit, so it was better to give it to Zhu Zilong. If it weren't for Zhu Zilong's refusal to be a Hukou Shilang (temporary), Zhao Ji really wanted Zhu Zilong to go to Hukou to help him as a staff officer.

-

Zhu Zilong was thinking about it, when suddenly the prince came out, with a serious and resolute face, he glanced at Zhu Zilong, and then raised his voice and said: "Father, the son wants to impeach the squire of the Daolu Academy, there are four crimes, and the punishment is very serious!" ”

AT？ Nani? What the heck? At this moment, Zhu Zilong was stunned, and the other officials were also stunned.

What do you mean, Zhao Tingzhi didn't make a move, you suddenly targeted me as a prince? Impeach me? Zhu Zilong didn't understand it, I didn't plan to deal with you for the time being!

At this moment, the content of the impeachment of the crown prince's listing made the smile on Zhao Ji's face on the dragon chair instantly converge.

The crown prince has a slight disagreement with his second prince, and he knows it. But Jingran wanted to make trouble at the court meeting and turn against him, which the emperor did not expect. Zhao Ji, who was a little unhappy in his heart, said lightly: "Oh? The Four Felonies? I don't know that the second prince has committed such a serious crime, the prince, you come and hear it. ”

When the prince heard this, he took out a piece of music from his sleeve, opened it, and read it aloud: "There are four crimes, one of which is to act deliberately and ruin the reputation of the court and the king!" ”

"There are four crimes, and the second is to bewitch the holy king and compete with the people for profit!"

"There are four crimes, and the third is to ignore the people's livelihood and invite rewards for their own interests and taking the wealth of the people. Pressing the merchant and arranging it has been! ”

"There are four crimes, and fourth, abusing power for personal gain, borrowing the country for profit, and perverting the law for bribes!"

After finishing the outline, the prince began to explain in detail the process of the four sins, as well as his own cognition.

And Zhu Zilong was originally worried about whether the prince really had any big tricks in his hands, but now when he heard it, it turned out that the prince let his advisers cheat his father, what is the big deal about these charges.

Come on, hurt each other, and see if Lao Tzu will be okay?

Zhu Zilong smiled dumbly in his heart and stepped forward. said: "Back to my father's words, the so-called ruined court and the king's reputation. Erchen thinks otherwise. In addition, the newspaper recruited famous prostitutes to enter the house, and from the Ministry of Rites, they have redeemed themselves. Moreover, the content published by the newspaper has been reviewed, and most of the content on it is also copied from the official newspaper. What is the sin? Therefore, the first sin is not established! ”

Seeing that Zhu Zilong distinguished, the emperor Zhao Ji, who had just received a huge benefit, naturally stood on Zhu Zilong's side, and said at the moment: "Ta'er is right, this is a crime of ruining the reputation of the king and the court, and it is a crime of great disrespect, but the prince has failed to consider it, and in my opinion, it is too far-fetched." That's it! ”

The officials next to the prince originally stepped forward to argue, but when they saw that all the officials nodded again and again, they had to remain silent.
