Zhu Houzhao was not worried about the rebellion of King Ning, but how to deal with the problems of some officials and gentry caused by King Ning's rebellion forced him to be cautious.

After all, what Zhu Houzhao could be sure of is that from the process of King Ning planning to rebel to the actual rebellion and finally being pacified, many officials and gentry must have received bribes from King Ning and even done some things for King Ning.

What's more, even the emperor himself has received benefits from King Ning.

In addition, what Zhu Houzhao was sure of was that after King Ning rebelled, there would definitely be some officials and gentry who were dissatisfied with the government and did not realize that the current era of peace and contentment in the people would respond to King Ning and surrender to King Ning.

After all, the emperor and the reformists behind him attacked the gentry in the south. They first recovered the tutelage, and then cleared the land of the cemetery and prohibited the offering of slaves. None of them was not cutting off the flesh of the gentry.

Moreover, now he uses public opinion to manipulate public opinion to monitor gentry and Dongchang to monitor civil servants, which will naturally intensify the hatred of these landlords who only want to exploit the common people freely to the court.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao still has to think about how to deal with these officials and gentry who rebelled with King Ning because of dissatisfaction with the court. Should they directly kill them, or should they be open to the Internet?

Zhu Houzhao hasn't made up her mind yet.

After all, there are many officials and gentry who have followed King Ning to rebel or secretly accepted bribes from King Ning. If they kill them directly, they may force these officials and gentry to jump over the wall.

But if I don’t kill myself, wouldn’t it seem that my emperor is too kind? I even told the gentry all over the world that my emperor would be afraid of them, so even if they surrender to the rebels and rebel together, it would be fine?

It is obvious that Zhu Houzhao would rather choose the former. He would rather use a butcher knife and blood to let the reactionary gentry know the consequences of rebelling against him and disobeying the interests of the country than to mistakenly think that his emperor would be really cowardly.

However, Zhu Houzhao would no longer be the young emperor when he first ascended the throne. He was impulsive and cut and killed him indiscriminately. He had to use the existing conditions to use the civil servants and gentry's own hands to execute the gentry and civil servants without having to do it himself, so as not to think that these civil servants and gentry would think that it was because of his cruel emperor that they would end up tragic, but they didn't know that it was because they had done the right thing with the people of the entire Ming Dynasty that they had such an end.

When the enemy discovers that people of the same class must also punish themselves severely, it will undoubtedly be easier to collapse the enemy and be more conducive to rule.

...

At this time, the civil officials of the central court were in a very complicated mood after knowing that King Ning rebelled.

The civil servants of the central court were more worried. What was worried was that after King Ning rebelled, would the matter of accepting King Ning's bribes would be exposed.

Of course, some civil servants of the central court also secretly expected that if King Ning really succeeded, it would be a good thing for the gentry in the world.

In addition, some civil officials were extremely angry at King Ning's rebellion.

"Deva, in your opinion, will things happen to the south?"

On this day, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask Wang Qionglai.

Wang Qiong smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, the senior official has made preparations a few years ago. No, it shouldn't be that the senior official has made preparations, but His Majesty has made preparations. Moreover, the people in the world are still on His Majesty's side. What's staged in the south is just a joke!"

"That's good. If it's safe and not chaotic today, Urianha is ready to move in the north, and the Japanese in the south have become increasingly rampant recently. If the imperial court really starts another civil strife at this time, I am really worried that the people in the world will suffer in the end!"

Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Qiong couldn't help but smile secretly and said disdainfully: "You are not worried about the people of the world, but actually you are worried about civil strife in the world. If Your Majesty has anything to do, your Liu family's wealth will end from now on!"

Liu Yu chose to surrender to His Majesty the Emperor when he was an official in the Censorate, and became a participant in the royal industry by chance. It is precisely because of this that he became a clean official and became one of the few rich people in the world. Moreover, because he signed a contract with His Majesty, his property could not be used to buy land or buried in the ground to hide it. However, he did not invest and was a little resistant to doing business, so he could only use it for enjoyment, which made his life more and more luxurious, and he became more and more worried that the emperor's property would be insured, so he also drank the northwest wind.

Because of this, Liu Yu was also one of the few people in the court and the country who had not had contact with King Ning, because he was also afraid that if King Ning really rebelled, he would implicate him, which would lead to losing his welfare in the royal property like Zhang Yong.

Sometimes Wang Qiong really envys an official like Liu Yu, and someone like Liu Yu who enjoys wealth for life because of his "profession of the dragon". He does not have to make money in the officialdom or do things against his conscience. Being a clean official can still have a generous income, and can also openly increase income for the court and seek benefits for the people, because doing so will also be beneficial to his own family.

But Wang Qiong also knew that officials like Liu Yu could not last long, because not every emperor would not be as greedy as His Majesty now. If King Ning really accomplished or waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne, the new emperor would definitely not give officials like Liu Yu the benefits. After all, the new emperor can be said that it is your duty to let you govern the world well, and it is naturally impossible to get the benefits of successfully governing the world.

However, now, officials like Liu Yu, who are tied to the interests of Emperor Zhu Houzhao, naturally don’t have to worry about the problem that King Ning’s failure would lead to their involvement. They even made an unusually angry suggestion that the emperor severely punish King Ning and those who followed King Ning’s rebellion, and even immediately seized and seized all civil and military officials who had had contact with King Ning.

Although Liu Yu only expressed his concerns about the possibility of war in the world when he was chatting with Wang Qiong alone, he directly and strongly said:

"Your Majesty, King Ning is in a rebellious manner, ignoring the emperor's kindness, and intending to disrupt the world. It is unforgivable! I think that the elite troops should be sent south to suppress the rebellion, and immediately ordered the Xichang and Jinyiwei to immediately detain the officials in the court who had contact with King Ning and interrogate them strictly. It would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go! Otherwise, it would not be enough to make the world stable!"

Zhu Houzhao knew that the reason why Liu Yu was so tough was that Liu Yu had no contact with King Ning. Like the civil officials such as Ma Wensheng and Jiao Fang, he was bound to the interests of his emperor from the beginning, so he was so urgent about suppressing King Ning, exactly the same as the eunuchs such as Liu Jin. Just as they were following them to reform the government affairs together, they were also very active in dealing with King Ning.

Otherwise, some civil servants and gentry who opposed them would not have been scolded as eunuchs behind their backs.

Even when the court just received the rebellion of King Ning, Liu Yu drafted the draft to remove the King Ning that night and denounce King Ning as a rebel.

Zhu Houzhao could understand the mood and purpose of Liu Yu, who belonged to the large bureaucratic and large capitalist class.

But as the emperor, Zhu Houzhao also had to consider the mood of officials from other backgrounds in the court. For example, Wang Qiong, who was depressed in front of him, Zhu Houzhao could guess that Wang Qiong must have taken the benefits of Ning Wang like him, otherwise he would not have frowned when Liu Yu suggested using the factory guard to take the officials who had contact with Ning Wang.

Zhu Houzhao did not immediately agree to Liu Yu's proposal, nor did he reject Liu Yu's proposal. He only asked Wang Qiong, who wanted to know what methods would be proposed by Wang Qiong, a person who represented the vast majority of officials in the court, to deal with the crisis that arose because of Ning Wang's rebellion.

"What do Wang Qing thinks about the rebellion of King Ning?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Wang Qiong himself has been thinking about it. He could guess that King Ning's rebellion made officials like Liu Yu want to take advantage of the opportunity of punishing King Ning's rebellion to further compete for power in the court. His Majesty asked himself at this time, and naturally he would give himself the opportunity to save himself, such officials of the non-Loyalty Society.

Wang Qiong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the rebellion of King Ning and the rebellion should be planned by the General Staff of the Guards for His Majesty, and the punishment of rebels and convictions should be carried out by the Three Laws Departments. The Cabinet and the Six Ministry have no right to interfere, and the Ministry of Personnel is also responsible for the removal of officials."

Zhu Houzhao saw Wang Qiong telling a procedure, which implied that he could not change the fact that these officials had benefited from King Ning. It depends on your Majesty, the Emperor. If you want to deal with the rules, you can deal with the rules. If you can't deal with the rules, you can deal with the rules without the rules. Anyway, the people in the world are facing you, and you can deal with the rules.

"Actually, I have also taken many benefits from King Ning. According to Liu Qing's words, I have to be detained. However, in my opinion, no one can predict that King Ning will rebel, so it is normal for some exchanges to receive some gifts. There will be no fish when the water is clear. However, King Ning has become a thief now. The gifts we take from King Ning can no longer be said to be gifts, but ill-righteous wealth, which is the rich and rich man plundered by King Ning! King Ning's rebellion must have harmed the people and poisoned the people. It is pitiful to the people in Jiangxi! Therefore, I believe that these ill-righteous wealth should not be kept for myself. We are all people who love the people. We should return these rich and rich man plundered by King Ning and return them to the people!"

"However, I have an idea to avoid these people becoming lazy after getting these wealth directly. Therefore, I think the court can let the court take care of them first and do something meaningful for the people of the world!"

Zhu Houzhao said, and said, "As far as I know, the Ministry of Works now lacks enough money to renovate the city walls, build water conservancy, and pave roads and bridges. But in fact, whether the people can get rich depends on how many roads and how many bridges have been built. Therefore, I suggest that you and I will take out this ill-gotten wealth and invest it in the court, so that the court can form an infrastructure bureau. The Infrastructure Bureau will use this money to do infrastructure, which is to build roads and bridges for the people! What do you think?"

Liu Yu was still confused and thought that he wanted to take out the money, but he did not collect the benefits from Ning Wang.

But just when Liu Yu was stunned, Wang Qiong couldn't wait to reply: "Very good! Your Majesty is wise! The wealth collected from King Ning is naturally ill-gotten. However, if you invest in the infrastructure construction bureau, it will benefit the people of the world, increase grain production, and reduce disasters. In this way, the court can replace the gentry to do road construction and bridge construction, and it will be more beneficial to the people of the world in the hands of the court!"

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I have received a total of more than 300,000 taels from King Ning. I decided to present them all to the court. I hope Your Majesty will approve it. In addition, I ask Your Majesty to punish me for being greedy for my crimes!"

Wang Qiong started to take action without complaining.
