Zhao Zhen's cold voice echoed in Chui Gong Hall for a long time before slowly dissipating.

Yang Wenguang and Chen Yaozi solemnly agreed.

"Here..."

It seemed as if they could feel the blood coming from the mountain of corpses. The voices of Yang Wenguang and Chen Yaozi were thick, heavy, and full of blood.

The faces of the civil and military officials in the court were as ugly as they were.

Many people are roaring and cursing madly in their hearts, but they dare not make a sound with their mouths.

They all know it in their hearts.

Zhao Zhen, now he needs to choose someone to establish his authority. Whoever jumps out will become Zhao Zhen's stepping stone.

In the past, there were still people who were stupid enough to jump out and serve as a stepping stone for Zhao Zhen.

Not now.

Although the iron rule set by Zhao Zhen's words has offended the interests of most of them, no one is willing to sacrifice themselves for others and become a spy exploring the road.

The civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads and said nothing, as if they were mourning the dead.

You can hear a needle drop, which is very weird.

Zhao Zhen was furious when he saw Manchao Wenwu treating him like this, but his face gradually regained his composure. He stared at Manchao Wenwu and said: "I know that I lost my temper today. I just want to tell you that Shijun

I am worried about your salary. You should help me manage the country well, rather than relying on the power I have given you to use your hands.

If I can give you power, I can take it back.

I can even take your lives easily."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads and remained silent.

Zhao Zhen spoke again: "I hope you won't disappoint me..."

After Zhao Zhen said this, he shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, and left Chui Gong Hall.

As soon as Zhao Zhen left, the pressure in Chui Gong Hall disappeared and exploded instantly.

Wang Zeng was the first to speak. He stared at Kou Ji blowing his beard and said: "What is going on in Bafang Jiaozipu? You know better than anyone else. You know clearly that those people are innocent, why don't you intercede for them?

"

"Killing people, dismembering their bodies, and setting fires can still be considered innocent? It's not like the imperial court didn't set up local yamen, and it's not like the people didn't have a place to complain. When something happened, they didn't go to the yamen first to complain, but instead they resorted to lynching.

If everyone in the world is like this, then why is the court still formulating national laws?

Simply burn the national laws, tear up the laws and regulations, implement the methods of Lao and Zhuang, and cure the disease by doing nothing."

Kou Ji hugged Chaohu and said nothing, while Wang Shu spoke to Wang Zeng in a cold tone.

Wang Zeng roared at Wang Shu angrily, "Some of them are guilty enough to die..."

Chen Zhizhong sighed, came over, and said to Wang Zeng: "Your Majesty, I think the officials handled it very properly. You know, the same thing happened in Jiaozipu in Sichuan, and the people did not rush into Shu.

Zhongjiaozipu, killing people, quartering their bodies, and setting fire to them.

They all went to the Yamen, blocked the Yamen, and asked the court to administer justice.

Although this move is somewhat inappropriate, it is much kinder than killing people, dismembering their bodies, or setting fire to them.

The people in Shu all know how to abide by the laws of the country, but the people under the emperor's feet do not know how to abide by the laws of the country.

Such behavior will naturally result in severe punishment."

When Chen Zhizhong finished speaking, Chen Yaozi came over carelessly and said angrily: "In my opinion, they all should be chopped off. The emperor ignores the laws of the country and all of them deserve to die."

Wang Zeng glared at Chen Yaozi angrily, "You?!"

Chen Yaozi glared back unceremoniously, "What are you? Today you forgive them and let them take advantage. Tomorrow they will dare to cause even greater trouble.

By then, the lives of the officials may also be threatened.

Compared with the lives of officials, the lives of people in Bianjing are nothing."

Wang Zeng pointed at Chen Yaozi angrily, "You ignore human life!"

Chen Zhizhong slowly shook his head and said sternly to Wang Zeng: "What the prince said is wrong. Taizu, Taizong, the late emperor, and the officials have always been very tolerant to the people of Bianjing City.

The common people invaded the imperial land and even occupied and built houses in Bianjing City in violation of the imperial decree, but the imperial family never blamed them.

The royal family can be said to be very tolerant to the people.

But the people did not take it as a favor. Instead, they felt that the royal family was easy to bully.

Invading imperial fields and building houses can be said to be an intensification of the situation.

A road in Siwazi City that could accommodate four vehicles was now occupied by the common people, leaving only a two-vehicle road.

It can be seen from this that the people cannot indulge.

Today, hundreds of people gathered to kill and set fire to people, and the court spared most of them.

Tomorrow there will be tens of thousands of people committing murder and arson with open fire."

After Chen Zhizhong finished speaking, Wang opened his mouth several times, but could not say a word.

What Chen Zhizhong said is correct.

There are many illegal buildings in Bianjing City.

When illegal buildings appeared in Bianjing City, the emperor could not bear to damage the interests of the people and forgave them.

Then the people unceremoniously started crazy illegal construction.

Nowadays, there are so many illegal constructions in Bianjing City that it is appalling.

Many illegal buildings are the source of fires.

Large-scale fires caused by illegal building fires occur every year in Bianjing City.

What's even more outrageous is that some illegal buildings are blatantly illegal.

Fan Tower is known as the first building in Bianjing City. There was a time when the height of the main building exceeded all the palaces in the imperial palace.

If the then magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture had not personally climbed to the top of the Fan Tower and sawed off the animal's head on the top of the Fan Tower, I am afraid that the illegal behavior would have continued.

Chen Zhizhong used this to explain the consequences of indulging the people, and Wang Zeng was really unable to refute.

Seeing that among the six books, three ministers stood beside Kou Ji and spoke for Kou Ji.

Wang Zeng's eyes were a little dark.

He realized that Kou Ji's situation was set and no one could stop Kou Ji from doing anything.

Wang Zeng wailed in his heart, put his hand on his forehead, and fled out of Chui Gong Hall in despair.

Except for a few of Wang Zeng's disciples, no one paid attention to Wang Zeng.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were more concerned about the iron law that Zhao Zhen had just laid down by Chrysostom.

"Prime Minister Kou, the officials suddenly issued such a law, is this going to force people to death?"

"Yes, yes, many people will die..."

"Xiaguan and others also know that it is not right for servants in the family to engage in business, but they all have a large family to support. The salaries issued by the court are not enough to support their families, and Xiaguan and others are not willing to take money from the common people.

, so I can only earn some scattered money to supplement my family's income..."

"..."

Kou Ji, the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, surrounded him, and they were all talking gibberish.

Kou Ji looked at them indifferently and didn't say a word.

Kou Ji knew a long time ago that few officials who could enter the Chui Gong Hall were shameless.

So Kou Ji was not surprised at all by the ugly faces they showed.

None of them cared about how much harm officials doing business would do to the court.

No one cared. The only one who could help them, Wang Zeng, had sadly left.

They only care about their own interests and the interests of the wealthy families and businessmen who are attached to them.

When their noise subsided, Kou Ji said calmly, "The official's words have been spoken, you can't let the official swallow his words, right?

Don't blame the officials for being ruthless.

The crux of the problem still lies with you.

If you weren't so greedy that you blocked the royal family from doing business and made huge profits by taking advantage of your authority, the officials wouldn't be so angry.

Since you have chosen to eat alone, you should be prepared to be caught eating alone."

When the civil and military officials heard what Kou Ji said, all of them looked very ugly.

What Kou Ji said is true. They only have themselves to blame for being two-faced.

It's one thing when facing officials, but it's another thing in private.

In the past, everyone used to hide each other's ugly behavior from the officials.
