The king behind the empress

Chapter 43 The important minister of the country, I bah!
After waiting for a while, Mo Zizai confirmed that no one would stand up again, then shook off the dragon's blood drops on the sword again, and put the sword back into its sheath.

Looking at the fallen corpses on the ground, Mo Zizai felt a little depressed, because he knew that the last few people who stood up were straight ministers who were not afraid of death. spine.

These few sword cuts I made directly cut off the backbone of the officials of Dazhou. From then on, for a long time, Dazhou will no longer have any ministers who are not afraid of death.

But Mo Zizai didn't regret it, because Da Zhou now has no shortage of direct ministers, especially direct ministers who are on the opposite side of him.

What the current Dazhou lacks is a person who can speak his mind, and what is lacking is a person who can suppress all different voices.

Mo Zizai leaned on the Long Zai sword, returned to the position in front of the officials, turned around and looked at the civil and military officials quietly.

"Those who are not afraid of death are already dead, right?"

"Now, no one wants to abolish me, Yuzhiji, right?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's almost humiliating words, the faces of all the officials were a little ugly, especially those generals, their faces were even more ugly.

Because they could see that Mo Zizai's strength was only in the Underworld. Although he was very strong, it was nothing to them.

Among these generals, Youzhao Realm has a lot of them, not to mention there are five military commanders in the Soul Realm.

They can take down Mo Zizai directly with just a few shots.

But after thinking about it, none of them dared to do this.

Because just when Mo Zizai shot to kill, Zuo Dudu of the Chinese Army Dudu's Mansion raised his hand, trying to stop it, but just as he raised his hand, the old eunuch Qiu Wuping, who was pretending to be sleeping next to the dragon chair, glanced at him slightly One glance directly made him freeze in place.

And following the trial by Zuo Dudu of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, the rest of the people immediately understood what the empress meant, and also understood why the empress had not said a word until now, and the empress was also involved in this matter.

Then what else to say, the governors instantly restrained all their thoughts and stood where they were, pretending to be scarecrows.

With the dead eunuch Qiu Wuping around, I'm afraid they will be restrained by Qiu Wuping as soon as they make a move. By then, Mo Zizai's dragon will be under the sword, and there will most likely be an extra head of the governor.

They definitely can't do something like this kind of death for nothing.

And although Mo Zizai killed all the direct ministers who dared to speak out, that didn't mean he didn't dare to reprimand him.

"Mo Zizai, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want to ruin the country that my great Zhou ancestors brought down?"

The person who spoke was Zuo Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion. The Clan Mansion is an institution that manages royal affairs, and there are some royal family members in it. According to seniority, Zuo Zong is Mo Zizai's cousin. At this moment, he looks at Mo Zizai, Full of distressed expressions.

"Heh, the country that ruined my Great Zhou."

Mo Zizai glanced at his uncle, and sneered, "Will Da Zhou's country still be ruined by me?"

"The border is in a hurry, and the soldiers on the battlefield in the east have not been paid for half a year."

"And many places in the pass suffered from natural disasters, and the people couldn't eat enough."

"If this situation continues, Uncle Tang, when do you think the East Territory will be broken? When do you think the people in the three counties who can't survive will rise up."

"At that time, do you think it will be my turn to ruin Da Zhou's country?"

"This is not the reason for you to slaughter all the officials in the court!" Zuo Zongzheng did not back down, and angrily reprimanded: "Everyone in this court is an important minister of my country. If you attack them, You are undoubtedly shaking the foundation of my Great Zhou, you are digging the foundation of my Great Zhou!"

"The important minister of the country, the foundation of the Great Zhou."

Mo Zizai looked at his cousin with a little disgust in his eyes, and stopped calling him uncle, and called him by his first name: "Mo Yuanzhen, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid."

"Why is the treasury of my Great Zhou empty? It is because the important ministers of the country you mentioned have all the wealth of the Great Zhou in their hands, and the reason why the people of my Great Zhou are struggling is because these important ministers of the country have squeezed out the people."

"Therefore, when there is a disaster year, those people will have to wait to starve to death."

"The foundation of the Great Zhou, I bah!"

Mo Zizai spat fiercely, not concealing his dislike for these ministers in his words, "They deserve it too!"

"Mo Zizai, you..."

Zuo Zongzheng and Mo Yuanzhen's hands were trembling, but before he finished speaking, Mo Zizai stopped him directly.

"Oh, by the way, uncle, you should be playing stupid."

Mo Zizai looked at Mo Yuanzhen and said mockingly: "Because you are also one of those important ministers of the country, and you have concealed the entire 20 mu of high-quality irrigated land under your name."

"Even if the 20 mu of land earns 20 taels of income every year, you should have saved millions of dollars over the years."

"But these years, you haven't even paid a penny of taxes. You really deserve to be an important minister of the country."

Although the Great Zhou gave preferential treatment to the royal family members, there would be a tax exemption policy, but there was a limit. Once the land under the name of the royal family members exceeded [-] mu, they would be expropriated in full.

After all, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty just wanted to make the clan's life better, but they didn't turn them into big moths that embezzled the country's property.

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Mo Yuanzhen's hands trembled even more, but her face, which was originally flushed from anger, turned a little pale at the moment, "You...you...you spitting blood."

"Blood spit?"

Mo Zizai glanced at Mo Yuanzhen, and said coldly: "That's good, my nephew will send someone to my uncle's house to measure the fields, and help my uncle to check the property by the way."

"Puff~"

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has never been soft on the moths from their own family. If Mo Yuanzhen is really found out, he will be beheaded at the lightest according to the rules of the royal family. Moreover, if the emperor is ruthless One point, it would be no problem to directly charge him with rebellion and kill his entire family, so Mo Yuanzhen was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she collapsed on the ground without any color on her face.

"Ugh……"

The clan leader Mo Yuanchang sighed quietly. As the top leader of the clan mansion, he was really helpless when he saw the second boss look so cowardly, but he had no choice but to take care of it, "Zi Zi, this matter ends here Let's stop."

"I will ask him to pay back the taxes he owed over the years, and his Zuo Zongzheng position will be abolished immediately."

"As for him...he will be imprisoned in the clan mansion for life."

"Zizi, look, how about this?"

The patriarch ordered Mo Yuanchang to be Mo Zizai's sixth uncle, and he was one of the few people in the royal family who had been particularly kind to him since he was a child, so he had to give Mo Zizai some face.

"Since Uncle Six has spoken, let's do what Uncle Six wants."

Seeing that Mo Zizai agreed to his proposal without even saying hello to the empress, but the empress didn't say anything. Mo Yuanchang understood a lot in an instant, and nodded in relief.

It seems that it is my nephew who is in charge of this big week.
