Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 408 White Moonlight Deteriorates

"Your Majesty! It's not good!"

"What's wrong? The court's food and grass will arrive soon. I will leave this palace to store food now. In exchange for this, my foundation will be stable for eternity!"

Shortly after Zhao Zheng finished weeding, the master of Zhou Wang's palace heard his subordinates report what happened at the gathering point. Without hesitation, he immediately found Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi who was in a good mood.

This made King Zhou frown. He thought that his master was still struggling with distributing the food and fodder of the palace, so he yelled back.

"No! Your Majesty! It's Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao has caused trouble!"

"The pacification envoys of Zhao Mansion from the Eight Prefectures and the inspectors of Zhao Mansion from the three provinces! After gathering the grain chiefs of the Eight Prefectures, they not only gave them a small punishment! They also killed them all!"

"More than ten thousand grain chiefs and heads of the local wealthy and gentry families were all killed by Master Zhao! They didn't even stop His Highness the Crown Prince's decree!"

"Later, Mr. Zhao also ordered the Jin Yiwei to seize their property. Among them, the Kaifeng Mansion is asking the prince to send men to move it!"

"Your Majesty, if this matter leaks out, the world's rich and powerful gentry will probably think that our palace is also involved. If they jointly file a complaint to His Majesty..."

This master really thought wholeheartedly about Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi and the future of the palace.

Despite the pressure of Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi to accept the entire Suhang family physician inheritance sent by Zhao Zheng, he also bluntly stated that he must draw a clear line with Zhao Zheng and the Zhao family at this time.

"What did you say! Kill them all...all?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the eight palaces have gathered together and there are so many people, almost one in a thousand will survive."

After Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi heard what his master said, he immediately didn't believe it.

Who is Zhao Zheng? His father said in the letter that although he harbors suspicions about Wang Mang, he is committed to being a Marquis of Wu, so he only needs to keep an eye on him.

Moreover, when Zhao Zheng sent his doctor to Suhang, he also said that those grain chiefs would be punished according to law.

But when the master answered in the affirmative again and sent Zhao Zheng a completely undisguised reply in front of him.

He finally had to wake up.

"It's all true..."

[Wei Chen reports to the prince that the grain chiefs of Kaifeng Mansion and the other seven prefectures will be punished in accordance with the law. Those who make small mistakes will also be released after being punished. Currently, Wei Chen is working with Guanghu and Suhang to patrol the remaining seven prefectures. Regarding the matter of sealing, Kaifeng belongs to the prince's fiefdom, so it is troublesome for the prince to check and seal it by himself, and the ministers dare not overstep it. 】

"Punish according to law... Mr. Zhao, how can Xiao Wang explain to his father and brother..."

"Tell me! What should I do now? How should I explain to my father!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi carefully thought about whether Zhao Zheng had this right.

The answer is, he really does!

As a patrol officer, he had the record of beating the king's whip and killing his tenth brother. Even if he put everything aside, he still had to treat him with courtesy.

But the problem is that when Zhao Zheng did this, even he could immediately realize that it was a big problem.

So this contradiction made him feel like he was deceived by Zhao Zheng, but not completely deceived.

Now he just wants to know one thing, how should he deal with the riot that will happen next.

Because if he hadn't listened to Zhao Zheng's suggestion and sent those letters about sending troops to the various guards in Nanhe, he would still have remained innocent in this whirlpool.

But the problem is, he gave it away!

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi felt like crying when he thought of this, and the filter Zhao Zheng had in his eyes began to break.

"Your Majesty, we should..."

When the master heard King Zhou's question, he instantly switched from anxiety to confusion.

The grain chiefs are all gone, which means that the rich and powerful class of Nanhe Chief Secretary are all gone, so there will definitely be no trouble in Nanhe.

But it is impossible for the rest of the rich and powerful gentry who are chief ministers in the world not to know the truth of the coldness of lips and teeth.

How much does it cost to search for people's fat and people's ointment?

Their family is truly rich.

Especially the wealthy gentry in King Sai's fiefdom who hold real military power.

But the problem now is that they only know how the problem will happen, but they can't control it.

"My lord, I'm afraid all we can do now is delay."

"How to delay!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi thought that his master had thought of a way, so he hurriedly asked.

"Youyou can't keep everyone talking for long, but now that Nanhe is settled, we just need to control the gates and let the news leak to other provincial capitals later..."

After the master said this method, he sighed again.

"Your Majesty, our royal family wants to get out of this matter. The only other choice we can do now is to inform His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Because the most effective way...sigh..."

"Hurry up and tell me! Which method is most effective! You are going to kill me in a hurry!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi is very confused now, his palms are sweating but he doesn't know what to do.

So when I saw that my master had clearly thought of a way, but was hesitant, he immediately became really angry.

"Your Majesty, the most effective way is to establish a new group of grain chiefs, but Mr. Zhao just carried out the massacre... who dares..."

Seeing that his master was angry, the master could only kneel down and speak out the only effective way he thought of. After that, his face was still gloomy.

And Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi finished listening.

The real fire gradually subsided, and finally fell into silence.

He choked out one last sentence.

"It's indeed a good idea..."

The old one is gone, and there is a new one.

In this way, although the panic caused by Zhao Zheng is still there, it is already a problem of tacit understanding among people, and this problem of tacit understanding has nothing to do with him.

When the time comes, even if the world's rich and powerful gentry hold grudges, they will be on Zhao Mansion and they will not be able to offend him.

But if you are a master like me, who would dare...

"Your Majesty! Good news! Good news!"

"The imperial court will take the lead in building a cement road in our Nanhe River! By then, as long as there are enough horse-drawn carriages to transport grain, there will be no need for a large number of manpower to transport it!"

At this time, a voice sounded.

The royal servants who went to the capital to send New Year's gifts to Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi finally returned to the palace and brought good news to Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi.

"what!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi and the master stood up instantly when they heard the news.

Then, an inexplicable chill rushed from their tailbones directly to their minds.

"Your Majesty, I have seen the cement road with my own eyes. The situation is absolutely true."

"What...what happened?"

The servant who had just returned to the palace didn't know what happened, and looked confused.

Isn't it a good thing to implement the water-in-water highway first in Nanhe to save manpower in Nanhe?

"Your Majesty, my subordinates suddenly remembered that your Majesty did not issue an imperial edict to exempt me from taxes in Nanhe..."

After the surprise, the master also remembered this important thing.

There is no need to pay taxes this year, so there is no need for a grain chief.

Moreover, their work-for-relief approach is generally well received by the public.

The construction of cement roads is not...

"Sir, I don't know, but when I received the gift from Mr. Zhao, I sent out my confidants to control the important roads and trails to prepare for the escape of manpower..."

"As for notifying the court, every official of the Zhao government is accompanied by a royal guard..."

For a moment, the master and Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi looked at each other and felt an inexplicable chill.

The follower who had just returned from the capital was left alone at the scene, looking confused and not knowing what had happened.
