Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 88 Could you please make it clear, Your Majesty?

After hearing these words from the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Works glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment angrily: "You said it quite easily."

"It's not like you didn't see the attitude of the man on the throne at the court meeting just now."

"Anyone involved with the Huangtian Sect will be killed directly without asking for instructions."

"Do you think, with the attitude of the man on the dragon throne, he will care about your direct and indirect relationships?"

The Minister of Works looked at the Minister of Punishment and said.

Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice replied angrily to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Then is there any use in worrying about it?"

"Instead of worrying about this and that, it's better to think quickly about how we can solve these problems completely."

"If it really doesn't work, the worst we can do is introduce a few scapegoats."

The Minister of Justice's eyes flickered and he said.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, in charge of the Criminal Law Prison, he is very good at this kind of behind-the-scenes operation and exoneration.

If the one in the palace persists, then some people will have to be pushed out as scapegoats.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo, who was sitting on the main seat, pondered for a moment and then looked at the Minister of Works: "King Xiaoyao and Prince Kang were rescued by your Cui family from Huang Tianjiao."

"Based on the intelligence of the two princes, they should have guessed something."

"According to the previous plan, these two princes can be used as foals."

"But now, it has become the biggest flaw."

"If these two princes say something that shouldn't be said, or leave any means behind, then the trouble will be big."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo looked at the Minister of Industry and said.

The Minister of Industry and Industry nodded: "I am also worried about this."

"Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian can be said to have no problems, but Kang Wang Zhou Qi, this is definitely a hidden danger." The Minister of Industry said with a solemn face.

After hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue flashed a hint of cruelty in his eyes: "Since it is a hidden danger, there is no need to keep it."

"There is also King Xiaoyao, let him use his last remaining energy!"

"Originally, our plan to send the two of them to the four northwest prefectures was not part of our plan. The use of the two of them was also improvised later."

"I want to use them to disrupt the relationship between the man in the palace and the general's relative."

"But who would have thought that the general was useless and was uprooted in less than a day."

"With such a big change, there is no need for the two of them to use it as they had improvised before."

After hearing this, the Minister of Punishment nodded in agreement; "That's the truth. If the plan cannot keep up with changes, if there are any omissions that should be checked and filled, we should quickly check and fill in the gaps. Don't make any mistakes."

After listening to the words of the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Punishment, the Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the Minister of Industry did not say anything.

Obviously, the four people reached an agreement.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After Zhou Chen retired from the court, he returned to the Yangxin Hall.

Following Zhou Chen back to the Yangxin Hall were Fang Xuanling and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian.

After retiring from the court, Zhou Chen did not let Fang Xuanling and the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian leave, but instead called the Yangxin Hall.

"Do you know the real purpose of my sending you as imperial ministers?" After Zhou Chen sat down, he looked at Fang Xuanling and the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian and asked directly.

"Can your Majesty please make it clear?" Fang Xuanling and Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian both shook their heads.

To be honest, the two of them didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant.

Zhou Chen sent the two of them to the four northern states as imperial envoys, wasn't it just to relieve the disaster and help the people?

Could it be that Zhou Chen had other intentions?

Even Fang Xuanling was a little confused for a while, unable to guess Zhou Chen's intentions.

"Do you think that I used 200,000 of the Zhou Dynasty's most elite divine guards to send Lu Bu and Zhou Rushan, two half-step heavenly beings, to the Four Continents in the North just to wipe out some rebels?"

"If this is the case, I only need to ask Lu Bu to take Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and 100,000 divine guards to wipe out these rebels in the four northern continents. There is no need to use 200,000 troops at all."

Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xuanling and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian and said.

When Fang Xuanling and the Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian heard this, their eyes flashed, as if they had guessed something, but they were not sure.

"I want you to go to the four northern states. In addition to being responsible for disaster relief and rescuing the people, you also need to clean up the officials in the four northern states."

"Whether they are officials or local powerful families, as long as they harm the people, are guilty of dereliction of duty, and have problems, I will take them all down."

"Especially those officials who caused civil unrest, abandoned the city and fled, and were corrupt, none of them should be spared."

"Can it be done?"

Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xuanling and the Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian.

Zhou Chen did not play riddles with Fang Xuanling and Baxian Wang anymore, and directly stated his intention.

This was the real purpose of Zhou Chen sending Fang Xuanling and the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian to the four northern states as imperial envoys.

He wants to rake grass and hunt rabbits.

He wanted to take this opportunity to rectify the administration of officials in the four northern states.

He wanted to take this opportunity to move the interests of the four northern states and eliminate the control of the wealthy families over the four northern states.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, the expressions of Fang Xuanling and Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian changed.

None of them expected that Zhou Chen actually wanted to use this opportunity to gather all the power in the four northern states and eliminate the influence and control of the wealthy families.

This is really a wonderful move, but also a dangerous move!

Fang Xuanling is fine.

After all, he is a character signed in by the system and has a strong ability to endure.

But the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian was different. After hearing Zhou Chen's words, his expression changed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is no small matter."

"Should we wait until the rebel bandits in the four northern states are wiped out first and then make a long-term plan?"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian said solemnly.

As the head of the Zongren Mansion and the wise king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, knew how deeply the powerful families controlled and influenced the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Don't look at the current situation in the four northern continents where rebels and bandits are everywhere, attacking cities and seizing territory.

But the real decision-makers in the four northern states are the wealthy families.

Zhou Chen wanted to use this time to consolidate the power of the four northern states, but he was dancing on the edge of the knife.

If it doesn't work well, all the wealthy families will unite to resist.

By then, the four northern states will be more than just mob rebellions and Huangtian Sect rebellions.

Long term plan?

Zhou Chen shook his head.

"What do you think I'm doing by sending two hundred thousand divine warriors and two half-step celestial beings to the four northern states?"

"In addition to killing those rebels, that's what I do."

"You go free and do it. I have only one request for you, and that is that the four northern states are the northern four states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not the four northern states of the wealthy families."

"Anyone who dares to act strangely will be killed."

"If you can't handle it, leave it to the army."

Zhou Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light and he said coldly.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he wanted to take the opportunity to consolidate the power of the four northern states.

It doesn't matter whether you are dancing on the tip of the knife or not.

High risks bring high rewards.

Besides, in Zhou Chen's opinion, this is not a high risk.

He just wants to gather power, not to massacre all the wealthy families in the four northern states.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian wanted to persuade Zhou Chen, but after seeing Zhou Chen's unquestionable expression, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Obviously, he has already seen that Zhou Chen has made up his mind and will not change.

No matter how much he tried to persuade me, it was of no use.

All he can do is try his best to complete it.
