When Zhu Houzhao heard the news, he was stunned on the spot!

Ma Wensheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was in his twilight years, began to search for the previous memorials himself, and Jiao Fang had already found them and handed them to Ma Wensheng first, and then came to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, it is the tax bureau that Song Kai, the inspector of the Southern Zhili, requested to be dismantled before!"

"I know!"

Zhu Houzhao responded, then waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest!"

Seeing this, Ma Wensheng, Wang Shu and others bowed down, and in the end Liu Jin was left standing behind Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin to go down to rest, and at the same time asked Guo Rong to go back first. He decided to calm himself down.

For a moment, except for the flying snow that rotates around the dazzling galaxy and the red wall hidden in the dark night, Zhu Houzhao was the only one who stood beside the Ganqing Gate and wrapped herself up like a snowman.

Zhu Houzhao didn't notice the little queen, he was just thinking about it now.

For some reason, Zhu Houzhao began to find that he seemed not to be an emperor, but a god of death.

Because I have been creating death and reaping the lives of others. I am a butcher, a criminal who will even go to the international court in later generations.

Now he seems tired of this kind of killing, but he seems to be addicted. He seems unable to end the killing, if he wants to punish sin and justice be served.

Because of the death of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao chose to kill the ten clans of the rebels; and because of the death of the people of Sanyuan County, Zhu Houzhao chose to kill the ten clans of Lu Zhonghe and others; and now the people from the two tax bureaus were slaughtered, it seemed that it was because of himself and because he had rejected the requests of the gentry in Jiangnan.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think that it might not be really cowardly that civil servants such as Ma Wensheng were willing to compromise and meet the interests of the gentry group. They might really want to avoid more innocent people from paying their lives for it, because no matter how sharp your knife is, it cannot stop the gentry group's greed.

But justice must always be upheld, life must be repaid, and the Ming Empire must still be revitalized. No matter how cruel and bloodthirsty the king is now, it is better than letting foreign races and thieves slaughter thousands of miles away after more than a hundred years.

"Go back to sleep!"

Zhu Houzhao saw the little queen, pinched her and put her in Guanyin's pocket, and took the little queen back to the Ganqing Palace. After washing up for a while, Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to carry the little queen into her arms, "Tonight, let me hold you to sleep! It's so warm!"

...

The next morning.

Zhu Houzhao summoned Ma Wensheng and Wang Shu again and said, "What do you think about that incident last night?"

"Report to Your Majesty! I think the position of governor of Southern Zhili can be added. Only in this way can the inspection be balanced and the court can control the place!"

Ma Wensheng replied.

"The Chief Auxiliary said very much, and I also think this should be the case. The reason is that the Jiangnan area is unstable, and the water bandits and pirates are very serious. Therefore, a governor was appointed to command troops to encircle and suppress water bandits and pirates, and at the same time supervise local officials and pick up illegal officials to force the people to be robbed!"

Wang Shu didn't reply.

"Since that's the case, let Wang Shouren, the priest of the Capital University, be the governor of the Right Censor of Nanzhili, and the soldiers of the six prefectures of Yingtian, Su, Song, Hu, Chang and Ning!"

Zhu Houzhao actually had the same idea as Ma Wensheng and Wang Shu, which was to send a governor to the power of the inspector and the governor, and at the same time strengthened the central court's control over the local area. In addition, he also used this to let the governor investigate the slaughter of the inspector and other officials in the Southern Zhili, as well as the tax bureau.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Yangming to take this position was naturally because Wang Yangming was decisive in his work. Not to mention the successful arrest of Zhang Yu and other counter-party adversary to Beijing, but to say that the fact that he could decisively lead his army to quickly attack Queen Ning on the road to quell the Ning King's rebellion in history is enough to prove that Wang Yangming can take on major tasks!

In addition, another reason is that the Wang family behind Wang Yangming is one of the shareholders of the Royal Bank of China, and the Royal Taxation Bureau is also the main reserve account of the Royal Bank. Therefore, the income of the Royal Taxation Bureau, that is, the amount of Jiangnan commercial tax, determines the income of the Royal Bank of China and also affects Wang Yangming's interests.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao didn't have to worry that Wang Yangming would be bribed and used by officials in Jiangnan.

However, Zhu Houzhao not only wanted to send Wang Yangming, he also wanted to go by himself!

"Your Majesty, why are you going to Jiangnan?"

When Ma Wensheng heard Zhu Houzhao say that he would take the First Guard Division to Nanjing to worship Xiaoling Mausoleum in person, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I want to go and see. Jiangnan is still not my world! You don't have to worry about it, I have my own opinions, but your external attitude must be that I just go to worship Xiaoling Mausoleum! However, the chief assistant Ma Wensheng, the chief seal Liu Jin, and the Minister of Personnel Wang Shu, must go with me to facilitate the handling of the reform of the administration during the major plan at any time, especially the Jiangnan area, to investigate and approve it immediately!"

Zhu Houzhao said and left the cabinet and the Sili Supervisor's Office, and only ordered Gu Dayong: "Go and pass on Qiu Yue and Guo Rong!"

...

Three days later.

Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, was preparing to go to Nanjing.

The little queen couldn't help but pout: "Can brother the emperor not go?"

"Can't!"

"Can brother the emperor take me with you?"

"Not even!"

"Hmph, ignore Brother Emperor!"

Seeing that the little queen ran away with rubbing her eyes, Zhu Houzhao just smiled faintly and turned around and left Qianqing Palace.

By noon that day, Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty took the First Division of the Guards to leave Beijing City.

However, when Zhu Houzhao first left the city, he saw an official in green robe kneeling outside the city gate and shouting:

"My minister of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Wei, asked His Majesty to return to the palace, do not disturb the local area, and stop patrolling the Jiangnan tour!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that there was a stopper when he left the city, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring Jiang Wei over.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask, "Why are you stopping me?"

"I am stopping Your Majesty for the sake of the people of the world. Your Majesty is the magistrate of the Nine Five. You should stay in the main palace to govern the world. I hope Your Majesty will comply with the people's sentiment and stop the southern tour to avoid disturbing the local area and increasing the burden on the people!"

Jiang Wei said.

"Where are you from?" Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"I am from Changshu, Suzhou!" Jiang Wei replied.

Zhu Houzhao thought it was no wonder, so he said, "I have clearly told the world that the pastoral officials in various places do not need to accept the commander. Those who violate the situation will be punished! How can I disturb the local area? Moreover, I went to Jiangnan to worship Xiaoling Mausoleum. This is the righteousness of benevolence and filial piety. How dare you stop it!"

"I am not allowing Your Majesty to worship Taizu, but for the sake of the people of the world, I ask Your Majesty to return to the palace and choose important officials and nobles to go to Jiangnan for sacrifices, and there is no need to go there in person!" Jiang Wei replied.

"Is I a plague god or a demon? As soon as I leave the capital, the people of the world will not survive! Do you want to say that I am a tyrant and will impose heavy taxes when I arrive at the place?!" Zhu Houzhao asked coldly.

"I don't dare! I just ask Your Majesty to return to the palace!" Jiang Wei replied.

"You think so, what else can you dare not? If you send an order and dare to stop me, you will be executed immediately for the crime of trespassing the imperial guards!"

Zhu Houzhao said and returned to the imperial chariot.
