Chapter 205: The First Signs
At this time, Minister Earnest rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the former general Bude was sent to prison for colluding with the traitorous party, and there is still a vacancy in the post of commander of the three armies, what do you think of ZZ?" Even Bude is not an opponent of ZZ, I think ZZ is the most suitable person to serve as the supreme commander of the emperor! β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
In the past, Bud controlled the supreme military power, no matter how Minister Earnest manipulated the little emperor, at least there was Budd to fight against the court, and now Minister Earnest has put his mind on the commander of the three armies, once Zhang Chai is the commander of the three armies, then no one in the empire will be able to fight against Minister Onest, and the balance of the imperial political arena will be completely unbalanced!
Even if the civil and military officials all thought of this level, no one dared to speak out against it, and the fate of the royal family and Bud was the most infiltrating example, at this dangerous juncture, how could anyone dare to stand up and touch the mold.
The little emperor doesn't understand anything, and Minister Earnest is tantamount to monopolizing power by doing this, the little emperor frowned and hesitated: "Minister...... ZZ is already the envoy of the Supreme Emperor of the Supreme Glory, and if the commander-in-chief of the three armies is put in his hands, I am afraid it will not be ......."
"Huh?" Minister Earnest looked displeased and interrupted: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for ZZ to help you solve your problems, your throne would have been usurped by those traitors last night!" Don't you understand?! The emperor must not be without a commander for a day, otherwise the three armies will mutiny, and the thousand-year-old empire will fall into a land of no return! ιxiΓ ββ!! β
Speaking of the back, Minister Earnest blew his beard and glared, almost roaring, and from time to time he tore the fresh meat indiscriminately, with an extremely fierce expression, not like an admonition, more like a blatant threat.
"I understand, I understand...... the little emperor nodded stupidly, "ZZ listens to the seal...... I have appointed you as the supreme commander of the emperor, canonized as a general, and has full authority to take over the affairs of Bude's hands, protect the palace, command the three armies, and defend the dignity of the empire......"
"Thank you." Zhang Chai clenched his fists expressionlessly, he was not interested in the so-called rights at all, but in order to ensure that the survival task could be completed smoothly, it was still necessary to work for the empire.
"Congratulations to the envoy on taking the position of great general!"
"Hey, hey, hey! ZZ General! β
After retiring from the court, many civil and military officials stepped forward to say hello to Zhang, and the meaning of the stammering was self-evident.
Zhang Chai was not in the mood to be polite to these flattering officials, but instead warned: "If you have the empire's money, you should do a good job for the empire!" If only I could see who would dare to corrupt and bribe and oppress the people...... Don't blame me for being ruthless! β
After speaking, Zhang Chai left with a cold face.
Many of these officials have colluded with underground trade organizations, and he does not move these people for the time being, because he does not want to hurt the foundation of the empire, and when the overall situation is stabilized, he will first attack these unconscious officials.
Although the members of the royal family have been eliminated, the underground trade organization is still an imperial cancer, Zhang Chai did not delay any longer, immediately left the palace, and took hundreds of garrison members to start searching the underground trade organization, carrying out large-scale arrests and destroying its den.
Due to the large number of people involved and the shortage of manpower in the garrison, even the garrison stationed outside the city participated in this large-scale clean-up operation, arresting nearly 1,000 people, of whom more than 600 were sentenced to death for their crimes, and the remaining some were sentenced to life imprisonment for drug-related and bribery crimes......
In just one day, the cells in the Imperial Prison were packed, and countless criminals fell to the ground on the execution ground, cutting from day to dark, and the executioners changed batch after batch.
And the most shocking thing is that the ill-gotten gains collected from the underground trade organization are more than tens of thousands, and it is conceivable that the underground trade organization with the support of the royal family has collected from the people an unknown number of people's fat and ointment, and even the statistician cannot count the amount of money collected for a while, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rich country.
With this huge wealth, the treasury of the empire suddenly became full, and at Zhang Chai's strong request, the little emperor issued a holy decree and implemented policies conducive to the people's livelihood, such as reducing heavy taxes, thereby relieving the heavy pressure on the people and eliminating potential rebellious factors from the roots.
β¦β¦
At this moment, it is already evening.
Zhang chased after a whole day, dragging his rather tired body to the guard outpost.
"Lord ZZ! Great work! β
Tazmi, Shayou, and Sai Leu saluted Zhang Chai with respect, and Zhang Chai did a qiΔ, and all three of them saw it, which was exactly the justice that the three of them wanted to achieve, and now this belated justice finally began to appear, which naturally made the three of them very happy.
"I heard that His Majesty adopted your advice from Lord ZZ and issued the holy decree and reduced the tax!" Tazmi said excitedly: "If this continues, everyone in the village will no longer have the burden of heavy taxes, and everyone will be able to live a great life in the future!" β
Zhang Chai took the tea brought by Sai Liu, drank it all in one go, and sneered: "Don't be happy too early, the empire is still full of devastation, even if the taxes are reduced, it is just a drop in the bucket, and whether those local officials below will be obedient or not, I will say another matter." β
"Huh?!" Tazmi scratched her hair and her face fell, "That'...... What are we going to do? β
Zhang Chai groaned: "The empire is now under attack on three sides, and there is a revolutionary army in the south, and this force is more of a headache. Western alien nations are also ready to move. The alien peoples of the north are not to be feared, after all, there is General Estes guarding the north...... In addition, there are some large-scale rebel forces in various parts of the empire, as well as the southeast coast that is often attacked by pirates, and the situation is very serious! Therefore, only by eliminating these rebel forces can the empire be truly stable for a long time, and this is what we need to do now. β
"That's right......" Tazmi frowned, pinching his chin and thinking.
At this time, Zhang Chai clapped his palms, and an imperial soldier guarding the door walked in respectfully, holding a set of strangely shaped armor in his hand.
"What is this?" Tazmi and the others looked puzzled.
Zhang Chai pointed to the armor on the hands of the imperial soldiers and introduced: "This is the imperial tool of the former Great General Bude, Yade Miller. Tazmi, Shayo, you two are my lieutenants, and you can't do without the Imperial Tool, so you two can try this Imperial Tool and see if you can use it. β
"Emperor's tool!" Tazmi's eyes lit up.
"Well, Tazmi, you try it first." Zhang Chai motioned for the Imperial soldiers to hand Admirel over.
"Yo ho!" Tazmi took Yadmeler with great interest, but as soon as he put Yadmeler on his body, as a sizzling electric sound sounded, Tazmi was numb from the electricity, and AdomΓΌller automatically fell off Tazmi's body.
It is clear that Admirer is not suitable for Tazmi. (To be continued.) )
