Of course, Zhu Youxiao was scaring Huang Liji, if he wanted to kill Huang Liji, then he would have killed him a long time ago.

As far as Huang Liji did that, he thought that others didn't know, but Zhu Youxiao had already mastered his things clearly.

It can even be said that no matter whether Huang Liji went to Sun Zhiji's house today, or Huang Liji returned home today, he immediately counted the family, and he knew all about the gold and silver treasures sent by the Shaanxi Political Envoy.

After crossing over in this life, Zhu Youxiao not only did not reduce the functions of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but strengthened Dongchang and Jinyiwei again in some aspects.

In particular, Jin Yiwei has now used the latest revolver and the Apocalypse III rifle.

Such rifles, even in the Guards, were not yet fully equipped.

Huang Liji kowtowed and admitted his mistake and said, "Your Majesty, this is all the old minister's confusion for a while, and the old minister is willing to resign and go into hiding...... Oh no! The old minister is willing to sacrifice all the property of the old minister and never enter the Shuntian Mansion again for the rest of his life. ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and the two concubines beside him saluted Zhu Youxiao and hurriedly left.

They knew that Zhu Youxiao must have something very important to discuss with Huang Liji, and such a thing was not something they could listen to.

And some of the little eunuchs next to him who were not good enough had also taken the initiative to withdraw from the pavilion, leaving only one Zhang Tong to wait next to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward slightly and said, "Huang Aiqing, you know your words, how many ministers who made mistakes have told me, but they all ended up without heads. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that you are still a little loyal to me, your head, and the head of your whole family, would not have been saved."

When Huang Liji heard the first half of the sentence, a few drops of urine had squirted out of his body, and when he heard the half of Zhu Youxiao's words, he held back stiffly, he only felt that the clothes on his lower body were slightly wet.

Huang Liji has lived for most of his life, but now he is frightened like this by Zhu Youxiao's words, and his face is also red.

Fortunately, there wasn't much urine leaking out, and there wasn't a too obvious smell, otherwise the matter would have been even more embarrassing.

Zhu Youxiao pointed to the stone bench over there, and Huang Liji honestly walked over and sat down, but only half of his butt leaned on this stool.

The head on his neck is not stable now, and he will be slaughtered by His Majesty if he doesn't say it.

"The bastards of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Department thought that I didn't know anything, so I ordered them at the beginning of this year to exempt the Shaanxi Political Envoy from taxes for three years."

"As a result, the tax revenue of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Department is gone, but there are some other items, and the money and grain collected are heavier than the previous taxes."

"That Hong Chengchou didn't get some firearms from me last time, and he rushed back to Shaanxi this year to send political envoys, but he colluded with those local bandits."

"Now there are two bandits in the Shaanxi Political Envoy Division, which have grown to nearly seventy or eighty thousand people, although most of them are ordinary homeless people, but the number of combatable soldiers in it has reached seven or eight thousand, which I can't bear no matter what."

"You're kind of alert, if you hadn't come here today, your fate would definitely not be too good, but these are not what I want to talk to you about."

"I can spare your life if you come, but I know that you are the person who can guess my mind the most, so you should give me a guess, I want to tell you these two things, which are the two things."

When Huang Liji heard this, he was also a little happy in his heart, fortunately, he finally thought through the problem of the Shaanxi Political Envoy, if not, I am afraid that the head on his neck would be gone.

Although Zhu Youxiao asked him to guess, he couldn't really guess, he could only say honestly: "Lao Chen is just an honest man, usually what His Majesty asks Wei Chen to do, Wei Chen will do it, and Wei Chen dares to guess His Majesty's thoughts." ”

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said, "Don't you dare? I see that you dare very much, not only you, but all the ministers of the court, who does not guess my thoughts, this is understandable. ”

"If you hadn't guessed my thoughts, you wouldn't have come here today, guess boldly, there will be a reward for guessing correctly."

Huang Liji was silent for a moment, and now he can't guess it.

However, he only thought about it for a moment and said, "The first thing Your Majesty said was the corruption of this court official. ”

It's no wonder that Huang Liji thinks so, he came here today for this reason.

He's really a blind cat that bumps into a dead mouse.

"You're smart, yes, that's the first thing."

"Now the atmosphere in the court is very bad, and it doesn't mean that it is only like this when I am the emperor, it should be said that since Emperor Taizu is gone, there has always been this atmosphere in the court."

"If the officials of this court say that ten percent of them are greedy, then this matter is really wronged against you, but nine out of ten officials are pulled out to cut off their heads, then there is absolutely no wrong."

"Since I became the emperor to the present, the Ming Dynasty has been full of various disasters, but the officials of the imperial court are not clear, and it has also increased the burden on the people.

Huang Liji also felt quite embarrassed, and his face also showed a very tangled expression.

Zhu Youxiao was a little dissatisfied when he saw the other party like this.

"Since I want to talk to you, if you have anything to say, let's be honest, I won't blame you."

"If you put on this dumb look for me again, then I will make you truly mute."

Huang Liji didn't dare to hide it anymore, he had to tell Zhu Youxiao a cruel fact.

"Your Majesty, the officials in the court and the local officials are indeed corrupt, and the ministers dare not hide this matter."

"But if Your Majesty wants to clean up the rule of officials and return the Ming Dynasty, then this is really too difficult."

"The most fundamental place is that Daming's salary is too low, and we are officials, which is the face of the family, and I hope that all expenditures will rise sharply."

"We always have to sit in a sedan chair when we go out, we have to invite a family, we have to settle a family, we have to take care of our juniors, the scholars from our hometown have come, and they live in the hall, and this food and drink Lazar is all silver, and it is all from us."

"The meagre portion of the imperial court is really not enough, if you don't solve this problem, I'm afraid that even if Your Majesty kills you hard, you can only solve the temporary appearance, but there is no way to hurt the inside of this problem."

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
