Song An whispered: "Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for you... I just want to marry you!"

Wu Zheng patted Song An on the shoulder, "Although I cannot rehabilitate Chen Zilong in the short term, I will not treat Chen Zilong's children unfairly... You have a engagement with the Chen family, and you are my confidant. As long as you marry Chen, no one dares to suppress Chen Zilong's descendants... Do you understand what I mean?"

Song An nodded and said, "I understand!"

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Your engagement is Chen Qi, the eldest daughter of Chen Zilong?"

"yes."

"Chen Zilong's second daughter, Chen Ying, seems to be at the age of getting married?"

"Yes...the age is, it should be eighteen."

Wu Zheng nodded, "I thought about it, so I simply gave the marriage together... Let Erhan marry Chen Ying. You and Erhan are as affectionate as brothers, so they are even more kinship... What do you think?"

"I have no objection!" Song An said with a smile, "but Erhan is leading his army to fight on the front line at this time, I'm afraid he can't get back, right?"

"What, you can't wait?" Wu Zheng joked.

"No, no... I also want to wait for Erhan to come back and get married at the same time."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "I will grant you the title of Xin'an Bo, and the second Han is the Countess of Qingyang, and the Chen sisters are the countesses. In this way, you can take care of Chen Zilong's son Chen Yi with a legitimate reputation, or recommend him to the official position, or you can also find a vacancies in Changlin Wei!"

Song An said, "I understand... I respect the order and thank you!"

After the private matter was finished, Wu Zheng slowly corrected his face, "This incident... do you have any grasp of public opinion in the government and the country?"

Song An's face tightened, "Reply to Your Majesty, Your Majesty uses thunder to clean up Jiangnan... There are indeed many people who are dissatisfied, but because Your Majesty launches too quickly, these people cannot cause great storms... I have already registered these people one by one. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, Chang Lin Wei can arrest and punish them all within ten days!"

“Are there many people?”

"this……."

"But it's okay!"

"It's... a rough count, no less than... six thousand households!"

Six thousand households? Wu Zheng smiled bitterly. There must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 people!

Wu Zheng sighed in his heart that the great man is right, people's hearts are different, there are always praises, and there are also dissatisfactions. If you can make 30% or 70% of them, it is the best result. It is impossible to make everyone in the world praise it!

"Forget it!" Wu Zheng shook his hand, "As long as they don't rebel... just keep an eye on it!"

"yes!"

"Where is in the court?"

Song An fell silent.

Wu Zheng said lightly, "Say!"

Song An pondered for a moment and said, "There are many court officials... although they have not participated in the Xu Fuyuan case, they have visited the Chief Auxiliary's Mansion too frequently these days...!"

"Oh?" Wu Zheng asked calmly, "Does Mao Xiang have any abnormal movement?"

Song An shook his head, "The chief minister has no abnormal movement... He even doesn't leave the mansion... His Majesty, need to send someone..."

"No need!" Wu Zheng refused flatly, "Mao Xiang... I will solve it myself... By the way, the old minister of Yongli will still be safe these days, right?"

Song An nodded and said, "As Your Majesty expected... the old ministers of Yongli were all very content and were waiting to move to Zhongjing, Xindu... Your Majesty has set up a mansion for them in Xindu, so they are naturally the most profitable... How could they be dissatisfied with Your Majesty?"

Wu Zheng nodded and waved, "You go back first... After going to Xindu, I will host the wedding for you and Erhan!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty...I'm going to leave!"

....

"Where is Your Majesty going to bring this world?"

In Wenhua Hall, the chief minister Mao Xiang knelt straight in front of Wu Zheng, staring at Wu Zheng's eyes, "Your Majesty told me that it is necessary to crack down on vested interests for the sake of the world, and rebalance the interests. I believe it. Therefore, in this incident, I was ordered to not leave the house. I was able to watch and watch. Even if countless people came to my house and beg me to come to the palace to advise me, I refused one by one... But now, after tens of thousands of people were arrested and killed, and blood was flowing, Your Majesty was going to reorganize the cabinet again... I don't understand. Does Your Majesty understand that the court and the country are discussing things, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that it will cause civil unrest... I dare to ask Your Majesty, where do you want to take the world?"

Wu Zheng was silent for a while and said, "The chief minister should get up... I have said that the kneeling ceremony will abolish it, and even the Fengtian Palace dynasty does not need to kneel down, let alone in Wenhua Palace?"

Mao Xiang stubbornly said, "Your Majesty said... Your Majesty only has military power, does not ask about government affairs, and all government affairs are handed over to the cabinet. But now, Your Majesty not only wants to reorganize the cabinet, but also has arbitrary decision. He wants to appoint the six ministers and the candidates for the ministers... I dare to ask Your Majesty to explain his doubts... Is Your Majesty want to abolish the cabinet? If Your Majesty does not answer me, I will not get up!"

"The chief minister believes that I want to consolidate the imperial power and weaken the prime minister's power?"

"Isn't it?!"

Wu Zheng sighed, "Mao Pijiang, do you think I am the kind of person who is greedy for the world and rule the world with one hand?"

"I didn't believe it before...but now, I have to believe it!"

Wu Zheng laughed, "Mao Xiang, are you prepared?"

Mao Xiang stared at Wu Zheng's eyes, "I am indeed prepared... But please rest assured that I have no intention of rebellion. As the head of all officials, I have the obligation to seek justice from Your Majesty for the people of the world!"

"Just?" Wu Zheng smiled and repeated these two words, and then suddenly asked, "Mao Pijiang, I ask you, what is justice?"

"The law is not expensive, and the rope is not shattered. The law is given by the law, the wise cannot refuse, and the brave dare not fight. The punishment does not avoid ministers, and rewards good will not leave ordinary men... The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. This is justice!"

Wu Zheng said lightly, "What if I break the law?"

Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment, "The emperor breaks the law, and he will be punished for his own crime now!"

“Is it fair?”

"…..." Mao Xiang fell silent.

Wu Zheng smiled, "Then I ask again, if I violate the law, not only will I not issue an edict to punish myself, but I will become more severe. What should I do if I kill anyone who should give advice?!"

Mao Xiang was stunned for a while, and gritted his teeth and said, "...Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat..."

"Okay!" Wu Zheng applauded, but his expression was serious, "But what if I issued an order to quell the rebellion... you should understand that the military power in my hands is enough to sweep the world!"

Mao Xiang's face changed drastically, sometimes white and sometimes blue, and he wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he sighed heavily and muttered, "...officials forced the people to rebel, and dynasties changed..."

Wu Zhenghe said, "It makes sense. From ancient times to the present, hasn't it been like this that the cycle of reincarnation has been performed again and again... But what I want to say is that with my ability and means, even if the whole world is against me, I am afraid I can hold the throne firmly in my life... Do you believe me if I say this?"

Mao Xiang stared at Wu Zheng in a daze, and finally gave in a depressed mood, "...I believe me! But..."
