In the Imperial Study Room, Zhou Ze only waited for less than 2.5 minutes of time, and Wang Chengen walked in with an old man with a rickety figure and silver hair.

“Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian has been brought here!”

“En! Let him in!” Zhou Ze nodded, putting down the brush he was playing with.

“Old slave, meet Your Majesty!” Today’s Wei Zhongxian, after many days in prison, made his expression extremely frustrated, but the moment he saw Zhou Ze, his spirit became extremely excited, desperately trying to catch this The last straw.

“Wei Zhongxian, the 100 civil and military officials urged me to make an order to put you to death several times. Do you know why I have not made an order to put you to death?”

“The old slave… The old slave is dull, but I hope Your Majesty will say more.

Zhou Ze looked at the old man on the ground who kept knocking his head with some playful eyes. After a while, he spoke slowly.

“When the Imperial Brother passed the throne to me, I told me that the loyal and virtuous person would be able to keep the throne. I never understood this sentence. Duke Wei, can you explain it to me?”

“Your Majesty, do you know why the emperor was obsessed with carpentry and didn’t want to go to court when he was alive?” Hearing Zhou Ze talking about the emperor, Wei Zhongxian immediately became excited.

“Oh? Tell me!”

“When the first emperor first ascended to Dabao, he also thought of being a Ming prince with a history of history, but unfortunately, now the Ming Dynasty has long been swayed by wind and rain. In the courts, there are mostly rotten scholars who boast and have no real facts. Saint Yun , Taizu Xun, forced the first emperor to retreat to the harem and indulge in carpentry work!”

“As a last resort, the first emperor cultivated the old slaves and confronted the corrupt Confucians in the court!”

“Your Majesty, the old slave is a dog raised by the Imperial Family. If Your Majesty wants to kill the old slave, you only need a will, and you can easily deprive the old slave of the authority and grant the old slave to death. The old slave did not resist it at all. force!”

“But Your Majesty has ever thought that the old slave is dead, who will share the firepower of the corrupt scholars in the court for Your Majesty in the future? Without the evil dog of the old slave, those who seek fame and reputation are actually male thieves and female prostitutes, and they will target them. Almost Your Majesty.”

“When the time comes, Your Majesty, are you willing to be the prince of the courtiers and be at their disposal, or to be a faint prince hiding in the harem and ignoring the court affairs?”

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhou Ze with anticipation in his eyes, he had already said so thoroughly and so blatantly, if the emperor wanted to kill him, then he would also admit his fate.

Zhou Ze was silent for a long time, and finally, extended three fingers.

“3 requirements!”

“Your Majesty, please!” Hearing Zhou Ze’s request, Wei Zhongxian suddenly sighed in relief. He was not afraid of the emperor’s request, but he was afraid that the young emperor was stunned and did not understand the emperor’s weighing technique.

“First, I need money, a lot of money. You can’t search for this money from 100 surnames! Is this possible?”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. Now in the Great Ming Empire, there are countless tycoons, wealthy and gentry, especially in the south of the Yangtze River! The wealth in the hands of these families can range from hundreds of thousands to several millions of silver. Finding a few serious families to ransack their homes is enough for Your Majesty’s money!”

Zhou Ze shook the head, “This is not a long-term law. I need you to implement commercial taxes. Ten taxes are one, and no one can stop them!”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian frowned, “Your Majesty, you may not know that when the first emperor was there, the old slave once implemented commercial tax according to the first emperor’s will, and it was still a very small 20 tax one, but the tax collector who was sent to collect the tax just left When I arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, I was beaten to death by the 100 surnames! The merchants probably refused to accept the ten taxes requested by Your Majesty!”

“Hehe, no matter if it is 20 tax or 1 tax, they are all impossible to accept. In that case, why not raise the tax rate?”

“Commercial tax matters, don’t worry for now, wait until I completely control the military power of the Beijing camp, and then slowly implement it!”

“So, as long as Your Majesty supports the old slaves in the military, the old slaves have the confidence to thoroughly implement the commercial tax!”

Zhou Ze nodded, continued: “Article 2, from today, you will resign from the post of Chief Li Supervisor to serve as the admiral of the East Factory, and the admiral of the West Factory. I need this court to be basically stable, but I don’t want the courtiers. Too idle, come to my trouble! What should you do, do you understand in your heart?”

“Your Majesty don’t worry, the old slaves are best at this matter! Few of the rotten butts are clean. Whoever provokes Your Majesty will take care of them!”

Zhou Ze laughed, “This is your guilt, but there is one thing. What I want is true evidence, not arbitrarily constructed evidence. You must remember this one clearly!”

“Your Majesty can rest assured that the various criminal evidences in the hands of the old slave are enough to pull out and behead the majority of the people in the hall. There is no need to construct out of thin air!”

Zhou Ze believed this. He knew very well that the so-called Donglin Party Qingliu had hardly any good things in the Ming Dynasty. Each and everyone installed 2 Sleeve Qing Feng Family. The realm is poor, but in fact each is huge greed, all of them are pulled out and cut, and few are wronged!

“Third, you should be familiar with the guards of the 3th Army Camp, 5th Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and Government Horse Area in the capital?”

“Your Majesty means the old slave understands that soon, the old slave will hand over the list of factions of the generals in each barracks to Your Majesty to help Your Majesty control your military power as soon as possible!”

“So, then there will be Governor Lao Wei!” Zhou Ze nodded said with a smile satisfied.

“It is the duty of the old slave to share your worries for Your Majesty!” From being reborn from death, Wei Zhongxian felt like a world away, and even the sound of kowtow was a little louder.

“So, you go down and start deploying the things that I handed over to you! As for your appointment as the admiral of the East Factory, it will be issued soon!”

“No! The old slave will live up to Your Majesty’s expectations!” After Wei Zhongxian bowed his head, he slowly retreated.

When Wei Zhongxian left, Zhou Ze set his sights on Wang Chengen.

“Chengen, I am going to appoint you as the chief of the ceremonies and governing horse area, would you like it?”

“Your Majesty, these two positions are of great responsibility. The servants and maids are afraid of not doing well, so they are entrusted by Your Majesty!”

“Haha, I still have confidence in your ability!”

patted Wang Chengen’s shoulder, Zhou Ze couldn’t help being relaxed. There are still too few people he can use. Wei Zhongxian doesn’t like this vicious dog, but he still has to use it. Otherwise, this vicious dog will not be used to counterbalance the courtiers. It is difficult for him to carry out the follow-up plan normally.

……

Boundless in the sky, Cheng Hao flickering.

The trials of the 100 students, every move, can be said to be under his nose.

When he saw all Zhou Ze’s actions after waking up, he couldn’t help being nodded. Although this guy looked a little tired, he was sober in his heart. If there were no accidents, this mission would be considered stable.
