Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong also looked solemn. It would be different if they just surrounded the Ministry of Revenue. It would be different if they rushed into the Ministry of Revenue and smashed it or injured the Minister of Revenue. After all, the Minister of Revenue is the emperor's uncle!

The charges are more serious, and killing the nine clans is considered light!

Zhu Xu thought more. This was the first rebound of the "gentlemen" class. I'm afraid it will be more powerful in the future. Moreover, is this unintentional or someone pushing it behind the scenes? After all, "gentlemen's tax payment" has not been a day or two, and it has been spread since last year to be tried in the southwest.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and he smelled a little conspiracy.

Bi Ziyan's heart was abrupt and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter is left to the Ministry of Justice to investigate thoroughly. You can punish those who bump into it. At this moment, there should be no more big news!"

Sun Chengzong reacted and followed Su Se and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice and temporarily rest the wrath of the thunder!"

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I don't plan to do anything. The political reform is almost done. Keep a few of what you said, and solve them one by one when I go south."

If it were normal, I was afraid that I would discuss it for a while, and the emperor would have to pass them away now. Obviously, he had made up his mind. Bi Ziyan's expression condensed and continued to persuade: "Master, this matter..."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I promise you that the political reform has not been completed and those adults have not left Beijing, so they will never do anything, can they?"

The more the emperor said this, the more uneasy the two of them became.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other. The emperor said this, and they could not continue to say anything. Moreover, as long as the political reform can be completed smoothly, no matter how big the matter is, they can free up their hands to deal with it. They all suppressed their nervousness and said, "I will leave."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile and watched the two leave. When the two turned around and went out, Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly cold and looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Xuan Wei Zhongxian entered the palace!"

Cao Huachun felt the emperor's hidden anger. He looked at him carefully and bowed and said, "Yes."

Cao Huachun left the side door, and Zhu Xu looked outside the door with anger, his eyes full of indifference.

They always say that they are for the country and the people. When they are for the country and the people, even if they sacrifice a little bit, they will cry and rob the world and can do anything!

Originally, he wanted to slow down and give the gentry all over the world a buffer time, but now he is determined to solve it at one time, and no matter how big the wind and waves are, they will be suppressed!

Liu Shimin watched quietly from the side, feeling uneasy. Every time the emperor got angry, it was earth-shaking. I don’t know who was unlucky this time, but I just hoped that it would not affect the national affairs.

The imperial study was quiet, and the needles could be heard.

A little eunuch came in silently from the west door and whispered in Liu Shimin's ear.

Liu Shimin waved his hand and retreated, turned around and said, "Emperor, Jiannu's envoy, Bumubutai, Hai Lanzhu and others arrived. Will you meet?"

Zhu Xu frowned and said, "I won't see you, arrange a place for them to stay in the palace first. I will summon them again if I have time." At this time, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Huang Taiji.

On the way to the palace, the East Factory reported to him about the Ministry of Revenue from time to time. When he arrived at the palace gate, he finally got a rough idea. He felt relieved and then he sorted out his clothes and entered the palace with a quiet expression.

He has been cautious recently, and the emperor's mind has become increasingly unpredictable. He cannot guess thoroughly and can only do things with caution.

When he arrived at the imperial study room, he looked up at Zhu Xu when he entered the door. Seeing him lowering his head and looking at the rice book expressionlessly, his heart was slightly calmer and he walked in.

"I will meet the emperor." Wei Zhongxian bowed in a stern manner, and did not dare to say anything more with one move or a word.

Zhu Xu threw away the memorial in his hand and said lightly: "Have you found out the matters of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Wei Zhongxian stood up a little and said, "Yes, they are all old officials who have been dismissed from office or retired, and some scholars who have no fame and reputation. Behind them... no one has been found."

Zhu Xu flipped up the regular memo again, without raising his head, and said lightly, "It can be said that there is no master, or it can be said that they are all masters. Can you calculate how many masters there are? "

Wei Zhongxian couldn't understand Zhu Xu's words, and bowed and replied literally: "I can't figure it out."

Zhu Xu raised his eyelids and looked at him, saying, "It's good if you can't figure it out. How are the cases I asked you to raise?"

Wei Zhongxian then looked up at Zhu Xu, and said in a vague voice: "It depends on how big the case the emperor wants?"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "You old guy... I want... the bigger the better!"

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and said, "Return to the emperor, it involves corruption, prostitution, engagement with cults, bandits, concealing disasters without reporting, killing people and robbing money, and hindering weather conditions. In the capital alone, nearly 100 officials of all sizes and sizes were involved, and there were five hundred people in the north of Zhili... there were five hundred people."

Zhu Xu sat upright, knocking his fingers on the table, and a trace of ferociousness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

‘Okay, just cleanse from the capital and give the gentry all over the world a role model!’

Zhu Xu looked at Wei Zhongxian and said indifferently: "Well, then you can take care of this matter. Get ready first and wait for my order. This time, no matter whether it is officials or gentry, the more the movement, the better. The damn person doesn't have to live! I want to play the second-largest one!"

Wei Zhongxian suppressed his anger for a long time and was suddenly hooked, with a grim smile on his face and bowed, "I obey the order."

"You have an earl. When I return to the capital, you will be the duke. Think of a good name, go!" Zhu Xu said.

"I took my leave." Wei Zhongxian did not look up again and quietly retreated.

Zhu Xu watched Wei Zhongxian leave, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It is said that Chen Qiyu entered the palace."

Chen Xinjia was imprisoned for the Ruan Dacheng incident and is still in the prison. Chen Qiyu has just taken over and has served as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

Chen Qiyu can be said to be a standard literati of the Ming Dynasty. He has a good literary talent and knows a little about commanding troops. If he is a governor or governor of a province with a safe period or even a less turbulent turmoil, he would be more than enough.

He walked into the imperial study room. Although he was also a third-rank official, it was the first time he had come to this sacred place.

Chen Qiyu didn't know what the emperor summoned him for, so he kept coming in with trepidation and said, "Since Chen Qiyu, see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and smiled and said, "Yes, no gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Qiyu stood up and quietly looked at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu did not politely and said directly: "The court is determined to collect taxes on gentry. What do you think?"

Chen Qiyu was transferred from Henan. Recently, he was a half-worker and half-study in the Zhengyuan. He heard this and said, "Go back to the emperor, one is the ancestral system, and it cannot be abolished, and this is the great way. Secondly, the court rules must be followed, and talent is the great righteousness. Thirdly, officials are the people, and this is the fundamental and cannot be abandoned. I believe that there is nothing wrong with gentry paying taxes."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, and Chen Qiyu's point of view made him feel a little uncomfortable.
