Zongwu: On the first day of my accession to the throne, I signed in to the Heaven-shaking Law

Since the old Heavenly Master has killed the First Patriarch Heavenly Monk, Zhuge Zhengwo, Liu Dufeng and others will surely be much smoother in destroying the mountain and the temple. Moreover, there are two great masters of astronomy, Li Hanyi and Nangong Pushe. I don’t think any blind Jianghu forces will dare to attack. Zhuge Zhengwo is not worried about these things. He just whispered: "How to deal with Wudang?" With the power of the Ming Dynasty court now. If Zhang Sanfeng dares to take action against Zhenwu Division. That is impossible. However, with the two events of the Forbidden City Peak and the destruction of Shaolin Temple. Those Jianghu forces will surely move towards Wudang frantically. They want to use Wudang Zhang Sanfeng to negotiate some conditions with Zhu Houzhao. I am afraid that when Zhuge Zhengwo and others arrive at Wudang Mountain. It must be a situation where the wind and clouds gather and the demons dance wildly. Zhu Houzhao also knows the reaction of those Jianghu forces. He said calmly: "The matter of Wudang Mu Daoist creating Ghost Villa."

"Zhang Sanfeng still needs an explanation from me."

This was the previous plan to suppress Ghost Villa.

Now this layout can also be used.

Zhu Houzhao is dealing with Zhang Sanfeng or Huashan, Emei and other famous and upright sects.

He certainly can't use the means to deal with Shaolin.

If he really wants to suppress them with force alone.

Not to mention how long the Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil.

How much energy and time will Zhu Houzhao waste.

It is also a waste for the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

With the current strength of Zhenwu Division, it is certainly strong enough in the Ming Dynasty.

But if we want to suppress the Jiuzhou Jianghu in the future, it will not be enough!

Zhang Sanfeng is fine.

Huashan, Emei and others are fine.

In the future, we will become a member of the Daming Zhenwu Division.

It is also the foundation of the Daming Dynasty.

....

Zhuge Zheng also understands what your majesty means.

This is your majesty's intention to go to Wudang to talk to Zhang Sanfeng in person.

He also intends to take advantage of these Jianghu forces gathering in Wudang.

Your majesty wants to set up some rules for the Jianghu of the Ming Dynasty!

"I know what to do." Zhuge Zhengwo said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly: "I originally intended to let Yu Huatian follow the Zhenwu Division to act together."

"Since time is not enough, then you can take Wei Zhuang and Tianze with you first."

"Let Wei Zhuang and Tianze take charge of the affairs of the West Factory temporarily."

Although Wei Zhuang's Liusha and Baiyue Prince's Tianze have joined the Ming Dynasty for a few days.

But they still haven't made any contributions.

Zhu Houzhao's order is also intended to give them a chance.

He also plans to merge Wei Zhuang and Tianze into the West Factory in the future.

In his plan.

In the future, the West Factory will have more functions besides monitoring officials.

More is to scatter intelligence throughout Kyushu.

Provide enough information for Zhu Houzhao.

Wei Zhuang's Liusha and Tianze are also suitable for these things.

"Yes!"

Zhuge Zhengwo and the God of Capture Liu Dufeng slowly retreated.

....

Just at this time.

Another announcement came from outside the hall.

It was the Prime Minister Yang Heting and Li Dongyang who asked for an audience.

Yesterday, Zhu Houzhao learned the information from Hulong Villa.

He asked Yang Heting to deal with the corrupt officials in the court on his own.

Yang Heting did not dare to neglect it.

He made a rough list overnight.

After discussing with Li Dongyang and several important cabinet officials, he came to see His Majesty.

"Announce!"

Zhu Houzhao said calmly.

He wanted to see what list this Prime Minister could draw up.

He also wanted to see how many corrupt officials and treacherous ministers there were in the Ming Dynasty among this Prime Minister!

Accompanied by the heavy footsteps of Yang Heting.

He slowly walked into the hall.

Then he presented a thick list with both hands: "This is the list of corrupt officials drawn up by me!"

Zhu Houzhao has been on the throne for only more than a month.

But what he has done has far surpassed the previous emperor.

His strength and background make the world panic.

The six ministries of Nanjing, the rebellion of Prince Ning, and the masters of various countries.

All were wiped out under the suppression of your majesty.

Under such a situation.

Yang Heting naturally had no intention of singing against Zhu Houzhao.

He also knew the temperament of your majesty.

Therefore, the number of people on the list he drew up was very large.

There were even his own disciples and fellow townsmen in it.

It was also full of sincerity.

.....

But after Zhu Houzhao carefully read the list.

He said in a very calm tone: "Not enough."

Not enough? !

Hearing this.

Yang Heting's heart trembled.

Even the deputy minister Li Dongyang looked up in astonishment.

He and Yang Heting drafted this list together.

He was even afraid that His Majesty would be dissatisfied.

Li Dongyang even added more than a dozen names.

Finally, a list of 67 people was formed!

There are important officials of the fourth rank and officials of the ninth rank.

But your majesty said it was not enough? !

Zhu Houzhao was not interested in playing any political tricks with them.

He said in a very calm tone: "I don't want to be Huang Chao."

"I don't plan to make the streets full of nobles."

"I don't plan to make the Ming Dynasty clear!"

"I don't know how muddy the water in the officialdom is, but I can guess one or two."

"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. I also understand this principle!"

"But!" His tone suddenly became cold: "If you dare to be greedy, you must have enough ability!"

"If you don't have enough ability but are greedy unscrupulously."

"Then the end will only be the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan!"

Zhu Houzhao was not afraid that the officials of the Ming Dynasty would be greedy for some money.

As long as it was not excessive.

He didn't care at all.

Looking at the history of China.

Which one is the real honest and upright minister?

Some honest officials are even less capable than corrupt officials.

Aren't those who only know how to seek fame in the future of the Ming Dynasty the role models?

Zhu Houzhao wants capable ministers to govern the country!

The names drawn up by Yang Heting are indeed all corrupt officials and treacherous ministers.

But it's not enough!

Are the officials above the fourth rank in the Ming Dynasty not corrupt?

They are corrupt!

But even Yang Heting didn't dare to take action against the important officials above the fourth rank easily.

Let alone put them on the list.

But the influence of these people on the governance of the Ming Dynasty is enormous.

An order issued by an important official at the level of the six ministries may affect thousands of families.

These are the people Zhu Houzhao really wants to govern.

Can't do things but still want to be corrupt? !

Maybe it was possible in the past Ming Dynasty.

But it is absolutely not allowed in the future Ming Dynasty.

Either retire gracefully or do things with trepidation.

As long as they have enough ability, Zhu Houzhao doesn't mind if they are a little greedy.

.....

"The cabinet will draw up a new list."

"Give it to me in three days."

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand calmly.

He only needs to speak out his thoughts.

And then set a standard.

The rest of the things don't need him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to take care of.

Zhu Houzhao just needs a satisfactory result.

Yang Heting and Li Dongyang also know this.

They also completely understand what the emperor means: "I... take my leave."

The two also have a vague guess in their hearts.

What the emperor wants is not to rectify some corrupt officials.

But to truly change the Ming Dynasty.

He also wants to - reform the law!!!
