The Eastern Palace, in a hall!

In three days, Wang Xiong had already learned about what happened in the Eastern fiefdom during this period. Whether it was Wang Tiance’s report or Wang Zhongquan’s report, Wang Xiong carefully sorted out the results.

At this moment, in the hall, Wang Xiong sat on a golden dragon throne, and a group of important subordinates stood in front of him.

There were twenty-six people standing in the hall, all of whom were the most powerful officials in the town Dongcheng.

"Your Majesty, that's the case!" Wang Tiance reported respectfully.

Wang Xiong stared at the twenty-six people with a narrow eyes. Twenty-two of them were all children of the Wang family. The remaining ones included Wang Zhong Quancai.

Wang Xiong was slightly silent. It was not that he could not stand the power of the Wang family. After all, the Wang family had the ability and could gain the trust of Wang Xiong. The main reason was that there were too many Wang family children. Twenty-six people, twenty-two of them were all Wang family children? This was not desirable in any regime.

It’s like the Qin Dynasty, where there are many relatives of the Ying clan, but most of them are excluded from the court. Why?

Because there is only one emperor, and he has to use the civil and military officials of the court to govern the world. The emperor needs to have absolute control over the civil and military officials of the court.

This kind of control is not to make all officials unite. On the contrary, emperors need all officials to be uncoordinated. Only in this way can they check and balance each other, and be afraid of each other. The emperors can deal with it in the middle and follow the rules.

It’s like some emperors know that a certain minister is a corrupt official, but the emperor just protects him. Why? Isn’t it just to use corrupt officials to check and balance the innocent officials? It’s not that the honest officials are bad, but sometimes they conflict with the emperor’s ideas.

The interests of emperors and the interests of officials are sometimes not consistent.

Therefore, Wang Xiong hopes that there is not only one voice among his subordinates.

Not to mention killing donkeys, it is just a basic power trick.

However, the Eastern Palace has just stabilized, and Wang Xiong also relies on the cooperation of the Wang family's children. However, as a king, Wang Xiong has to guard against the scene of officials forcing the palace. He can't deal with the Wang family's children, but he can't let them sit too far.

"What do you mean? During this period, Taiwei Pang has been moving a lot in the Eastern fiefdom?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone.

"Yes, the remaining thirty-five cities were originally weak in my royal palace, and some important official positions were replaced by Taiwei Pang. During the time when the prince left, Taiwei Pang took down all the financial and tax powers. Now, our people were walking on thin ice in those cities!" Wang Tiance said bitterly.

"Yes, Prince, that Taiwei Pang is holding on to his power. I heard that he is now starting to penetrate the defenders of various cities."

"Master Pang himself has a certain right to appoint personnel and seize the power of finance and taxation. Now he wants to seize military power. Once all of it is made by him, the thirty-five cities will be difficult to regain!"

...

The officials said anxiously.

"Prince, why don't you write to the Emperor of Human Resources and ask the Emperor of Human Resources to withdraw Taiwei Pang?" Wang Tiance said anxiously.

"Yes, Prince, please write to the Emperor!"

"Prince, please write to the Emperor!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

...

A group of Wang family members spoke one after another.

Wang Xiong looked at the Wang family's children and confirmed that when the officials had only one voice at the court meeting, they did not like him. They seemed to be giving advice to Wang Xiong, but the voices of their ministers were consistent, and they felt like teaching Wang Xiong to do things.

Do your own things, do you need your teaching?

"No need! Just dealing with Taiwei Pang, I won't ask the Emperor for help!" Wang Xiong said lightly.

"Oh?" The officials were delighted.

Everyone looked at Wang Xiong together in anticipation.

Wang Xiong had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and his fingers gently tapped the desk in front of him, and everyone was waiting quietly.

"Master Pang has the power of finance and taxation, and uses his salary to control all officials? Then threaten and lure the defenders?" Wang Xiong said with a sneer.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

"Since that's the case, I can cut off his finances and taxes in one step!" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.

"Dissued the power of the financial and taxation of Taiwei Pang? Prince, how can I break it? Those tax officials are all from Taiwei Pang!" Wang Tiance said worriedly.

"I have sent an order to thirty-six cities in the east. I will inherit the title of father and be recognized by the true god and the Emperor of Humanity. From today on, I will be given the world. Within one year, the fiefdom of the east, thirty-six cities, and all the people will be exempted from tax for one year!" Wang Xiong said lightly.

"Ah?" Everyone's face changed.

"Tax-free for one year? Prince, how do major cities operate like this?" An official worried.

"Didn't I take away 200,000 spirit stones before leaving?" Wang Xiong said lightly.

"Yes, Prince, those 200,000 spirit stones are all the money that can be obtained from the Eastern Palace and the 36 cities. The 200,000 spirit stones are not enough to consume in a year!" Wang Tiance said worriedly.

"Now, it has become ten million spirit stones. Is it enough to consume all cities in a year?" Wang Xiong said with a smile.

"Ten million spirit stones?" Everyone's faces changed, and then they showed ecstasy and confusion.

"I have a gamble at Shendu, and 200,000 spirit stones have turned into 10 million spirit stones!" Wang Xiong explained.

"Really? That's great, hahaha, that's great, Taiwei Pang will be miserable this time!" An official said excitedly.

"Yes, the power of finance and taxation will be cut off for Taiwei Pang!"

"Prince, you're so tall! In this way, you don't need to contact Taiwei Pang's people. As long as this policy is promulgated, the people will definitely respond. Who wouldn't want to pay taxes?"

"The prince put the people and Taiwei Pang on the opposite side, and in an instant, Taiwei Pang was helpless!"

"Yes, even those tax-collecting officials are useless even if they are arrogant. The prince is the rightful master of the Eastern fiefdom. The people will definitely not pay attention to them if they occupy morality!"

"One stone and two birds with one stone will not only cut off the wealth of Taiwei Pang, but also let Taiwei Pang have no money to lure the defenders. The prince's tens of millions of spirit stones are also the key to the reshuffle of the fief's officialdom. The officials who listen to my royal palace have a salary to get, and the officials who listen to Taiwei Pang asked them to find Taiwei Pang to go. Taiwei Pang's subordinates have no salary, so they will definitely force Taiwei Pang. Taiwei Pang has no money to use, so his power will definitely plummet." Wang Tiance said excitedly.

"No, it's a kill of three birds. The prince is good at governing once, and the people will naturally be grateful to the prince. If he loses his faith in the royal palace for four years, he can come back all in one day. The prestige of the Eastern Prince can be instantly up! The influence of the Eastern Prince can be enhanced countless times in an instant!" Wang Zhongquan said with a smile.

Wang Xiong smiled slightly. It was not just three birds with one stone, but four birds with one stone. In this way, the people's gratitude will turn into wisps of luck. The luck will make the eyes of heaven show their power and their own power will be greater.

"Prince, we have money now, so why don't we allow the people to ask the government for the taxes paid this year? In this way, we can instantly empty all the money that Taiwei Pang has, so that he will immediately lose money!" Wang Tiance said with a smile.

"Yes, there is still some extra money in the vaults of each city. I will also empty this extra money and I will not give Taiwei Pang a chance to breathe!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

...

The officials made a report and were very excited.

Wang Xiong looked at the unanimous tone of the members of the group, and felt a little displeased, but he did not show it. He just smiled slightly and shook his head: "No need, too much is too much. You have to deal with Taiwei Pang step by step, don't force him to jump over the wall!"

"Ah? But!"

"Yes, Prince!"

The officials roared with concern and nodded.

"Prince, you just said, this is the first step? Could it be..." Wang Tiance's eyes lit up.

"It's not a matter of dealing with Taiwei Pang overnight. If there is a first step, there is naturally a second step. Let's implement this first step first!" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" everyone responded.

With Wang Xiong's order, the Wang family's children quickly moved. The first order of the King of Dongfang quickly spread towards the thirty-six cities at an extremely terrifying speed.

----------

Dongxin City, the city lord's mansion, a main hall.

Taiwei Pang sat in the main seat, and a group of Taiwei Pang's confidant officials sat in front of him.

"Wang Xiong's son is back. I heard that the Wang family's children have been ready to deal with the Taiwei during this period!" An official said with a smile.

"Haha, a group of ignorant juniors are not opponents of the Grand Marshal!" Another official smiled.

"But Wang Xiong has been granted the title of the Human Emperor. He is already the legitimate King of Dongfang. If you issue a government order to deal with us..." the official said worriedly.

"Hahahahaha, King Dongfang, just a stinky boy, I'm just giving a government order? What's the use of government orders? Isn't it enough for us to be disrespectful?"

"Yes, we have issued a government order, and all our cities are united. If the government order is not respected, then the words of the Dongfang King are farts. Who will listen? If you don't listen once, or twice, then who will take the words of the Dongfang King seriously? Let him entertain himself in Zhendongcheng!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The officials around immediately burst into laughter. All the officials were all confidants of Taiwei Pang, and they also held the power of the Eastern fiefdom. They did not respect Wang Xiong's orders, and Wang Xiong was not the one who laughed arrogantly.

Taiwei Pang smiled while drinking tea. Yes, in political struggle, how could you, Wang Xiong, be my opponent? Government orders? If any government orders are not implemented, it is fart.

"Report!" A guard rushed into the hall quickly.

"Report to the Taiwei, the Eastern Prince's Mansion has issued the first decree, which has now been conveyed to the various cities in the Eastern fiefdom!" The guard grabbed a scroll and went forward.

"Hahaha, the government order is here? What joke did I write?" The officials immediately laughed.
