"Whatever we ask the Zhao family to do, as long as they can do it, they will do it wholeheartedly, even at the cost of their lives. There will be no factional struggles, no selfishness, and no complaints. They are simply the perfect candidates to divert and eliminate firepower!"

"Why have I never thought of this before? How much space does our Sun Moon Dynasty have to accommodate all the people in the Zhao Mansion?"

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. For the first time, he felt that his dynasty seemed to have many gaps to fill and he was afraid that there were not enough clansmen in the Zhao Mansion.

"The Grand Tutor once said that the suffering of the people is the real eternal longevity. In a prosperous era, no one rebels, and the Zhao family is also natural. If the Grand Tutor knew about this memorial, he would definitely agree to it, right?"

"As long as we grasp the standards of our father and use the family members of the Grand Tutor to truly benefit the dynasty, and not make unnecessary sacrifices..."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao, wearing a dragon robe, was also constantly persuading himself in silence.

Putting aside the hidden dangers of the Zhao Mansion that may break out, and no one knows whether they will break out or not, and considering the characteristics of the Zhao Mansion, using the officials of the Zhao Mansion as tools, the prospect is too good to be true!

That night, the imperial kitchen was busier than ever. The next day, or even that night, almost all the officials in the capital knew about it. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood when he returned to Beijing.

Happy New Year! It’s a sure thing!

......

New Year's greetings are over.

"The Zhao Mansion is so favored by the Emperor that the Emperor has opened four offices in addition to the six ministries specifically for the inspection of the four Zhao Mansions. Even the power to deal with imperial edicts has been delegated! When the people know that it is the officials of the Zhao Mansion who receive the imperial edicts, they dare not even think about it..."

"You only remember the Great Edict. The Great Edict is not important! There are always Zhao Mansion inspectors hanging around outside. Why do we need to come to the capital city specially? The Heavenly Court is the sword hanging over our heads!"

"Who said it wasn't? It's a criticism of the laxity of the three courts! What is this! Our Majesty is clearly stating that he doesn't trust anyone but the justice of the Zhao Mansion, and wants the Zhao Mansion to set the implementation standards for the Sun and Moon Laws!"

"Minister Qin of the Ministry of Justice is really lucky. Apart from him, who else could have committed a crime in front of the Zhao family and ended up with such a huge benefit? It's our Majesty..."

"Be careful!"

The focus of ordinary people's New Year's greetings is eating, drinking and reunion, while the focus of the royal family and court officials' New Year's greetings is reunion and eating and drinking.

After all, in this era, for ordinary people, they basically spend their entire lives within a two-mile radius.

In addition, this time, eight inspectors from the Zhao Mansion who were patrolling outside returned to Beijing together!

So even though he had learned of the emperor's good mood the night before, the thought of having to face the Zhao Mansion was still an unprecedented eight!

The officials in Yingtian Prefecture were terrified.

As a result, this time, the Zhao Mansion did shock them, but it was the first time they were so peaceful and even confused.

It was peaceful that there was no bleeding at the banquet.

What was shocking was that the Beihe Patrol was able to inspect the Gewuguan, the Xishan Patrol was able to inspect the Mintang, the Qinshan Patrol was able to inspect the Shangtang, and the Mengxi Patrol was able to inspect the Tianfasi.

Each one is more powerful than the other, and each one is more lucrative than the other!

As for the doubt, it was about the remaining four inspectors of the Zhao Mansion. From beginning to end, the emperor and the head of the Zhao Mansion's vice minister never mentioned it.

Could this be a transaction between the head of the Zhao family and the emperor?

After all, there are two factions within the Zhao Mansion, but this is the consensus of the entire upper echelons of Yingtian Mansion.

The news brought back from the street in front of the Zhao Mansion also confirmed that none of the Zhao Mansion officials who returned to the capital, including the Crown Prince's tutor, had entered or left the palace even once.

At most, he only lived in the Zhao Mansion in the former outer city, which has now become the outer city.

Could it be that the Outer City was also a plan by the Emperor to incorporate the Zhao Mansion outside the city into the capital?

......

Royal study room.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that after the meeting, the ministers had also added his concerns about the Zhao Mansion to his measures to strengthen the defense of the capital.

Admittedly, there is definitely some weight involved.

But right now, the matter at hand was more worthy of his consideration. He even felt as if his head was about to explode.

Because six 'Zhao Zhengs' were quarreling in front of him!

The old eunuch Wang Ban stood beside him with his eyes half closed, unable to provide any help at all.

As for Crown Prince Zhu Biao, this eldest son was on his way to invite his mother over.

"Master! Is it so easy to get the salary of the Minister of Works? I am really ashamed of you!"

"ashamed!!!"

While Old Zhu was feeling upset, the three formerly dispatched inspectors, now the Left Historian of the Civil Affairs Hall, the Left Historian of the Commercial Hall, and the Left Historian of the Institute of Gewu, under the leadership of the Left Historian of the Ministry of Law, gave the Vice Minister of Works another four acts of shame.

"Uh-huh."

The invisible Taisun Fu also added a voice in response from the side.

When Old Zhu looked over and met his clear yet lifeless pupils, he felt even more helpless.

"My dear ministers, please stop arguing. I think Minister Zhao is doing a great job. The Crown Prince has also been full of praise for Minister Zhao in his memorials recently..."

Old Zhu regretted it very much. He regretted that he had specially called this group of people to the imperial study to check their careful thoughts.

Because these Zhao Mansion officials are so dedicated!

He hadn't tried it yet, but just told the Zhao Mansion to rest assured, and asked all the ministers to do their best in the future.

The result...is what it is now.

"Your Majesty! I think my master cannot bear your Majesty's love for my master! Please dismiss him from his post!"

However, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's second words turned into a bomb.

This is no longer a verbal attack, it has turned into a real criticism.

"Didn't Minister Zhao open the Academy of Human Sciences to select talents from all over the world for our Sun Moon Dynasty? I think Minister Zhao has done a very good job. This is also a first."

Looking at Zhao Aiqing, the Left Historian of the Ministry of Justice, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang silently changed the way he addressed the head of the Zhao Mansion.

It's strange, really strange.

Obviously, I should be very happy at this moment when the Zhao family is quarreling among themselves, but why do I feel like I have made a mistake now?

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the world's talents are all in the world. The court has the Kaiyuan Saint Emperor and the Yingwu Crown Prince. The world will eventually belong to the court."

"So what does right and wrong, merits and demerits have to do with my master?"

If he didn't know that the current head of the Zhao family was a younger generation who was promoted by him, Old Zhu really wanted to punish Zhao Zheng, this pseudonym, for disrespect.

But for now, he could only continue to laugh it off.

It was the current head of the Zhao Mansion who made him feel at ease. Just like when you encounter difficulties, you should first seek help from those who have helped you. The head of the Zhao Mansion is a proven and reliable treasure.

In fact, the same idea was behind placing these four members of the Zhao family into the Simen Division.

After all, no matter how perfect Li Shan's plan was, he had to first try whether the officials of the Zhao Mansion could behave themselves in the government office before trying other things, so as to avoid accidents that he could not control and cause more trouble.
