Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 98 Sitting in rows to share the fruits!

When the offending officer was taken away by the Jin Yiwei, the hall suddenly became much empty.

Zhu Houzhao returned to his seat and glanced at his father, Zhu Youtang.

You, the old man, are the emperor, and it is your turn to take the throne.

Zhu Youtang glanced at Zhu Houzhao helplessly.

Good guy, this brat also knows that his father is the emperor.

With the posture just now, people who didn't know it thought Zhu Houzhao was the emperor.

Although he complained in his heart, Zhu Youtang had no objection to his son's actions.

After coughing, Zhu Youtang said to Liu Jian: "The cabinet will discuss with each government office to make up the full amount as soon as possible. In terms of personnel, we must focus on selection. Don't elect this person who is harmful to the country and the people again."

This is like giving a stick to a sweet date.

With Zhu Houzhao's cut, all the forces in the imperial court suffered heavy losses, and some might be implicated later.

In order not to delay the operation of the court, the vacancy must be filled as soon as possible.

At this time, as the emperor, Zhu Youtang will step forward to share the cake with various forces.

The way of an emperor is the way of balance and the way of employing people.

For the emperor, unity of civil and military forces is unfavorable, and unification of forces is also unfavorable.

Among the ministers of the court, there are loyal ones, traitors, greedy ones, and foolish ones. This is the most perfect state.

Loyal minister has the usage of loyal minister, and treacherous minister has the benefit of treacherous minister.

Does the list given by Zhu Houzhao include everyone?
In fact, no, such a big thing can be concealed, which is definitely not something that two ministers can do.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao didn't touch them was because although these people were a little greedy, they really didn't have much ability.

Just like He Shen to Qianlong, didn't Qianlong know that He Shen was a corrupt official?
He knew it, and he knew it clearly.

The reason why Heshen was not moved was that, in addition to Heshen's ability to flatter him, Heshen himself also had great abilities.

For Qianlong's court, 100 Ji Xiaolan, who was proficient in writing, was not worth one He Shen.

"Sir, obey the order!"

As Liu Jian took the order, everyone knew that the matter was over.

The so-called end is for the big guys in the palace. No matter who they testify against in the future, the court will not touch them.

But it's hard to say about the officials below. They don't have great abilities and great backing. Once their names are revealed, it will definitely be a dead end.

They also understood that it was not that Zhu Houzhao was unaware of their existence, but that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of touching them for the time being.

Zhu Houzhao's words just now seemed to be addressed to the prisoners, but in fact they were targeted.

Warn them, "I still hold your lifeblood in my hands. If something goes wrong for me one day, be careful of your tricks."

After Zhu Youtang finished arranging the next things, Zhu Houzhao stood up again and clapped his hands at everyone.

He looked at everyone with a smile and said, "We have dealt with those bad things, now it's time to talk about the happy things."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the officials who had looked serious and nervous just now relaxed instantly, and many even had expectations in their eyes.

This is officialdom.

You must be serious when it's time to be serious, and when it's time to cry, even if you just got a son and married a concubine, you still have to cry for me.

When I want to laugh, even if everyone in my family is dead, you still have to laugh for me.

Otherwise, you just don't fit in with the group. People who don't fit in with the group often have only one end, and that is to be kicked out of the group and become an outcast.

"Zhou Shangshu."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhou Jing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"The minister is here."

Zhou Jing strode forward, full of energy and energy, not at all worried and frightened by the capture of several of his main generals just now.

"How are the carnivorous furs divided?" Zhu Houzhao seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and asked with a smile how the household rats were treated?

"Back to Your Highness, although the fur of those rats is tough, after the Hubu's hard work day and night these days, it has now been divided into half."

After the report, Zhou Jing showed a sad look on his face, "Although we have mobilized a large amount of saltpeter to make ice, there is too much meat. Although the weather is not hot now, the meat cannot be stored for long. Please tell me what to do, Your Highness." deal with?"

"Haha..." Zhu Houzhao laughed, pointed at Zhou Jing and said to everyone: "I guess this is the first time our Minister Zhou has worried about too many things!"

"Hahaha……"

When the other officials heard this, they also laughed. Zhou Jing looked ashamed and threw his hands at the people around him.

"Now that it has been divided, let's talk about how to divide it."

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Zhu Houzhao expectantly.

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and said to Xu Da: "The Beijing camp needs to be reorganized, and all the furs and furs will be given to you. As for making equipment or armor, you must discuss it with the Fifth Army Governor's Office."

Xu Da nodded and said, "We also need flesh and blood. If we want our soldiers to have fighting strength, their physique must be strengthened."

"Half of the flesh and blood separated from each household will be given to you first. When the next batch is divided, it will be marinated into dried meat and distributed slowly."

Good guy, with these few words from Zhu Houzhao, half of the Beijing camp was separated. Although many people felt unhappy, they could only hold it in when they looked at Xu Da's glance.

What's more, this was allocated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If it had been Zhu Youtang who would have divided this, without the previous incident, the court would have been in trouble long ago.

After allocating troops to the army, Zhu Houzhao looked at the waiting group of civilian officials.

Although they do not need to be physically strong to fight enemies, handling government affairs every day is also very tiring work.

In addition, there are benefits. Who doesn’t want to earn a little bit? Naturally, they also hope that the civil service group can distribute a little bit.

If Zhu Houzhao had directly given it to the army but not to them, they would have made a fuss even if they were afraid of Zhu Houzhao.

"You guys should allocate it based on the assessment. The Ministry of Revenue will first make the meat into dried meat. After this year's assessment, officials across the country will be allocated based on merit rather than rank."

"The superior ones get 3 to 5 kilograms per month, and the inferior ones get about one kilogram per month. The supply is for one year. The cabinet will calculate how much is needed."

"Yes!"

Although they felt that the amount was a little small, it was better than nothing. In addition, the main perpetrators just now were civil servants, so they were already satisfied.

"Your Highness, can you tell me what reward you received?"

After dividing the rat meat, Liu Jian, who was a little impatient, finally couldn't help it when he saw that Zhu Houzhao hadn't mentioned the reward yet. He stepped forward and stood out of the class, looking at Zhu Houzhao expectantly.

Everyone's spirits were shocked again. After waiting for so long, they finally waited for this moment.

Zhu Houzhao smiled as he looked at Liu Jian, who was both his father's master and his own.

"Your old man's temperament has really not changed at all."

"Haha..." Liu Jian smiled carelessly, "If you change it, you won't be me anymore. Your Highness, you'd better tell me quickly. I haven't slept for several days, thinking about this matter."

There was another joyful atmosphere in the palace.

Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, even Xu Da looked at Zhu Houzhao expectantly after hearing the explanations of several generals from the Fifth Army Commander's Office.

Everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty was rewarded with increased lifespan and improved physical fitness. This really never happened in Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty.

If he hadn't met it today, Xu Da probably wouldn't have known about this reward in the Imperial Battlefield.

Even Xu Da was guessing. Not only did he not know, but Lao Zhu and others probably didn't know either.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao no longer pretended, waved to one side, and several soldiers walked out holding trays.

When the ministers saw that the soldiers who came out were not soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but the troops led by His Royal Highness in that mysterious space, they were nervous and stretched their necks, looking expectantly at the soldiers holding trays in their hands.

Under everyone's nervous and urging gazes, Zhu Houzhao came to the first soldier and slowly opened it. The soldier held the silk on the tray.

As the silk slipped, a red but not dazzling light illuminated the entire hall.

At the same time, a refreshing fragrance poured into everyone's noses, shocking everyone present.

Zhou Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, his tired spirit after a few days of busy work was restored to perfection in an instant.
