Transformed into a Princess of the Late Ming Dynasty: Invincible
Chapter 82 I am not a murderer
The commander of the guards looked at Zhou Kui who was kneeling on the ground, then secretly glanced at Zhu Mianzhu on the Taihe Gate, and silently returned to his original position.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at Zhou Kui who was kneeling on the ground. She was silent for a while and then said:
"Demote Zhou Kui to a commoner and never leave the palace for the rest of his life."
The guard leader who had originally retreated, upon hearing this, immediately responded:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
He then ordered the soldiers on his left and right to take away all the officials who were connected with silk threads in front of Taihe Gate.
A moment later, the morning court, which originally had thousands of people, became sparse, and Zhu Mianzhu looked at the civil and military officials who were only half left.
The remaining people should be able to control their hands for the rest of their lives. Zhu Mianzhu does not need these remaining people to have great abilities, as long as they do their jobs well.
After a few years, a new group of young people will naturally take their place.
But by that time, I should no longer be in this Ming Dynasty world.
He sighed. The emperor had a really troublesome job, weighing all the pros and cons.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the silent morning court in front of her and felt that Xiaohuan and Mansui should arrive in Shuntian Prefecture tonight. In the past few years, Mansui was in charge of finances and Xiaohuan was in charge of personnel.
One is responsible for managing money and grain, and the other is responsible for managing people. When the time comes, the reform of the precarious Ming Dynasty will be handed over to them, while his main task is to pursue eternity.
Then it turned into a red light and flew towards the Qianqing Palace behind.
The guards at Taihe Gate saw Zhu Mianzhu turn into a rainbow and leave, and then rang the golden bell next to them.
"Retreat!"
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Mianzhu looked at the nearly one thousand memorials and petitions of various kinds that had been sent in from all over the country today.
Then he turned his head to look at the more than ten petitions sent by the Ministry of Clan Affairs. A divine sense swept over them, and the originally calm Zhu Mianzhu couldn't help but reveal a little anger.
In the past few days, civil and military officials have just handed over the property accumulated by the clan over decades or even hundreds of years, including various silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which together amount to hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
When the various relatives in the clan house learned that Zhu Mianzhu was rich, they hurried to report to her and ask for money.
They demanded payment of the salary arrears from the Wanli and Chongzhen periods, they demanded supplies from the court when they could barely make ends meet, they demanded arrangements for the birth of their legitimate son, and they demanded arrangements for a banquet.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the more than ten petition books sent by the Ministry of Clan Affairs and did a quick calculation. If all of them really had to be reissued, most of the silver that had just been collected would be gone in an instant.
These pigs don't work and just eat for free.
We have to find a way to utilize them.
Zhu Mianzhu then looked down at a letter with a special cover on the table. It was from Empress Zhou. She opened the letter and saw the following:
"Mianzhu, your elder brother Cilang has reached marriageable age. We need the court to allocate funds to help him choose a bride and marry."
The underlying meaning is that he has given the throne to you, and you need to help arrange the rest of his life.
When Zhu Mianzhu saw this, she couldn't help but think of the many rewards that Emperor Wanli had given to Prince Fu. The cost of his fiefdom alone was as much as 40,000 taels, and the land reward was as much as 20,000 hectares of fertile farmland. The house he lived in cost 280,000 taels of silver.
It also includes all the property of the former Prime Minister, Zhang Juzheng, as well as the salt tax and tea tax of the entire Sichuan region, and the qualification to sell Huai salt alone.
And there are countless other scattered properties.
When Zhu Mianzhu looked at the letter written by Queen Zhou, she couldn't help but feel a headache. This was really the style of the Zhu family.
The world is so small, how can we support so many freeloaders?
He had to be given a job to do, such as being sent out to be an official so that he could support his family with his own abilities. However, the prime minister of Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty was also from his own clan. He received an official salary and did not need to be supported by the court.
He was not afraid of them becoming powerful and independent. Moreover, all the vassal kings in the northern land had been wiped out by Li Zicheng's peasant army, and there would never be any vassal kings again.
In the future, they will only be demoted to be officials or clerks, and those who really have no ability will go to work in factories.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the letter, then used her spiritual power to control the brush, dipped it in red paint, and approved the payment of 10,000 taels to Zhu Cilang for the marriage selection and marriage.
Now the whole world is engulfed in war. Although I controlled the celestial phenomena yesterday to move the rain from the flood-stricken areas to the drought-stricken areas, it will still take at least several months for the people to plant their crops and for the crops to grow.
There was no harvest during these months, and the court had to pay for it. For such a large area, they could only rely on their own farming.
If I control the flow of time to speed up the growth of plants, the energy I spend cannot be earned back in a hundred years. I am the one who harvests all living beings and uses their power to bless myself, not a nanny for these people.
He shook his head secretly, and waited for Man Sui and Xiao Huan to come back. He would leave the government affairs to them and the team he brought from Jinan Prefecture, and then he would run away quickly.
On the second day, as the sun rose, Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng led an army of more than 200,000 from Jinan Prefecture and hurried to Shuntian Prefecture.
In front of the Taihe Gate, Zhu Mianzhu looked at the trembling civil and military officials below the stage and thought to herself:
"I'm not Zhu Yuanzhang, nor am I a murderer, so why don't I dare to speak?"
I also thought of the mountain of memorials and petitions that piled up yesterday. It seemed that he was worried that he would say something wrong in the court and be dragged away by the guards on both sides, so he rewrote all the memorials.
If it were Chongzhen, it would probably take him a whole day and a whole night to finish reading it. After reading it, he would have to look up information and make a reply based on the actual situation.
By mobilizing the power of Heaven, he could understand the actual situation on the ground in a moment without looking up any information, and even process hundreds of memorials at the same time.
Zhu Mianzhu glanced around and saw that the court was silent. Seeing that no one came to report anything, Zhu Mianzhu turned to look at Man Sui and Xiao Huan who were standing outside Taihe Gate.
With a thought, the originally dark pupils of the two girls changed into emerald green four-leaf clovers, and then he controlled the two girls to walk to the front of Taihe Gate.
The sky was changing rapidly, and several golden lightning bolts flashed across the air. A dark space crack opened, and the golden Eye of Heaven appeared in the air.
Spots of golden light appeared on Xiaohuan and Mansui's bodies, and then a small Eye of Heaven appeared above their heads.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the Eye of Heaven emitting golden light above the two women's heads. The spiritual energy recycled by the world was constantly blessing their bodies and souls.
With the blessing of the power of Heaven, not only will your body and soul become stronger and stronger, you will gradually no longer need to eat or sleep, and you can continue to review memorials for hundreds of years without feeling tired.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the two people whose eyes were full of her. Was this too cruel to them?
