At this time, an official who looked quite "rich" bent forward, and he smiled and said: "Dare to ask the prince, is this planning to repeat the matter of robbing the rich and helping the poor in Hangzhou Mansion in Yingtianfu?" ”

These words aroused "public indignation", and the officials looked at Wu Zheng one after another, and the eyes were hostile, at least, not goodwill.

Yes, Wu Zheng's military achievements are outstanding, and from the heart, it is not too much to say that he is the founder of the Qingtai and Yixing dynasties, at least one of the founders.

However, Ying Tianfu is not like in Hangzhou Mansion, Wu Zheng can do whatever he wants with his own will.

In the court of the Yixing Dynasty, Wu Zheng did not have many supporters, and at most no more than thirty percent.

The fundamental reason is nothing more than that Wu Zheng once had a move of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" in Hangzhou Mansion, although more than three years have passed, this matter has spread to the capital, and under the impetus of people with intentions, Wu Zheng is obviously an alternative to officialdom and is not favored by officials, scholars, and rich gentry.

The reason is very simple, officials, scholars, and rich gentry, which family does not have some family business?

In their opinion, Wu Zheng's "robbing the rich and helping the poor" is directly going for their interests, so how can they support Wu Zheng?

Wu Zheng frowned slightly, this dead fat man smiled shyly, seemingly humble, but in fact, his intentions were sinister.

At that time, Wu Zheng did do the thing of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" in Hangzhou Mansion, and sought two or three million taels, but only once, and the target was the unscrupulous merchants and scholars who had been cleared and had bad reviews among the people, and he had never extorted money from ordinary businessmen, let alone attacked the people.

Even, Hangzhou and other prefectures, today's businessmen have long forgotten about this matter because of more and more profits, especially after the establishment of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the businessman's right to speak has increased significantly, and the improvement of social status has made Jiangnan businessmen become absolute supporters of Wu Zheng.

Nearly four years have passed since this matter, and at this time, it was brought up in public, and Wu Zheng instantly felt nauseous after eating a fly.

"Who are you?" Wu Zheng's tone was obviously not very good.

Huang Daozhou wanted to reconcile the tension, and he kept his distance from Wu Zheng, of course, this is also what Wu Zheng meant.

Wu Zheng arranged Huang Daozhou in the position of the first assistant, first, he was not at ease with Huang Daozhou at that time, and wanted him to be a cold man in the imperial court, observing his words and deeds, and observing his actions. The second is that there is no suitable position for Huang Daozhou in the General's Mansion, and Wu Zhengxin does not like to have a person who is enough to suppress him regardless of age and seniority to restrict his daily life.

Therefore, Huang Daozhou saw that Wu Zheng was a little embarrassed to be asked at this time, so he stepped forward and said: "This is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Yin Yuan Ermei of Yingtianfu, a jinshi during the Chongzhen period, and a former Hongguang Dynasty Hubu Langzhong, and he can be regarded as an old minister of my court." ”

Wu Zheng said "hmm", in front of so many people, Wu Zheng didn't want to play tricks, so he just saved some face for all the officials present.

I don't want to, but Yuan Ermei hit the snake and put a stick, and said with a shy face: "The lower official lives in the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and the security in the city is within the scope of the lower official's authority, and there are thousands of servants under the command of the government and the yamen in each county, who can serve the prince!" ”

However, Wu Zheng ignored him, and turned to Huang Daozhou and said: "Lord Huang immediately entered the palace, and said that it was the intention of this king, and borrowed a forbidden army from the prison country to act according to the deployment of this king." ”

Yuan Ermei's face was blue and red for a while, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't be more embarrassed.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin Ke is a heavy minister, is three products, compared with the usual government, it is three levels higher, the ordinary government is used copper seal, only Jingzhao Mansion is used silver seal.

To put it mildly, the county official is not as good as the current official, and Yuan Ermei is the parent official of Ying Tianfu.

I am used to being respected on weekdays, but at this time, I was selectively ignored by Wu Zheng, and I really can't get off the stage now.

Huang Dao was stunned on Monday, and said busily: "Lord Wang, if you really want to be in the top 20, I'm afraid it's not just the rich, it should be ...... cough, this matter is very important, please think twice. ”

Wu Zheng squinted his eyes and said: "Whether it is a rich family or a relative of the emperor, in the eyes of this king, there are only law-abiding and good people and law-breaking gangsters...... Do as the king says, and if there are not enough manpower, use the king's followers first. This king has already transferred 3,000 troops to Beijing, first monitor, if there is really lawlessness, then arrest, do not let go of one. ”

Huang Daozhou listened to Wu Zheng's resolute attitude, but his spirit was lifted.

Also, Huang Daozhou is from the south, he was the first assistant of the Longwu Dynasty before, and he didn't have much to do with people in the Yixing Dynasty except for a few disciples he brought, and he persuaded him before, just because he was afraid that Wu Zheng would touch the rights and interests of the local scholars and cause unnecessary trouble.

When Wu Zheng was determined, Huang Daozhou naturally raised his hands in approval.

Yuan Ermei, who had been at a loss, suddenly spoke: "Let the official say more, the prince's move will cause the anger of the public...... It's better to figure it slowly. ”

"Get out!" Wu Zheng calmly spat out the word.

Silenced everyone present.

Yuan Ermei really couldn't stay anymore now, he blushed, he didn't dare to confront Wu Zheng head-on, stomped his foot hatefully, arched his hand at Wu Zheng, picked up the hem of his clothes and walked away.

Wu Zheng glanced left and right at the few people present, to be honest, Wu Zheng didn't trust it very much.

Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Princes, this king is deployed today, out of the mouth of this king, into the ears of all dukes, if there is any leakage, it will be among the few of you...... Please don't challenge the bottom line of this king. ”

……。

Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi followed everyone out of the main hall, chatting as they walked.

Wang Yi said: "Actually, what Yuan Ermei said may not be wrong...... It's not wrong for the prince to do this, it's just that the time is not right, there are enemy troops besieging the city outside, and if there is civil unrest again, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

Huang Daozhou said with an impassive expression: "Lord Wang is too worried, the prince has been alone in the south for a long time, and this kind of thinking is still there." Moreover, at this time, our army has already grasped the initiative on the battlefield, even if there is really chaos, the army in Beijing is enough to deal with it. ”

"Yes...... But why bother? Wang Yi was really anxious, "Why don't you wait until the Qing army is repelled before cleaning up the interior?" At least, it won't cause internal and external collusion! Shoufu didn't persuade the prince? ”

Huang Daozhou said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that the old man knew that Brother Wanxun was of good character and integrity, you should be classified as a suspect by the old man just based on this statement." ”

Wang Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then his heart flashed, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the prince and the first assistant have set some plan?" ”

Huang Daozhou shook his head and said: "It would be nice if it was really as Brother Wanxun said, but unfortunately, the old man is the same as you, and he doesn't know anything." ”

Wang Yi was stunned, still asking, but was stopped by Huang Daozhou raising his hand.

"Brother Wanxun, since the prince is the prime minister of military and political affairs, we will act as ordered, and we will do our best to complete the errand, and nothing else...... Don't care, you can't care! Remember! ”

Wang Yi nodded helplessly and responded, "Yes." ”

While talking and talking, he was already out of the house.

A soft cry came from not far on the left, "Huang Xiang...... Huang Xiang...... Please come over and talk about it. ”
