At this time, an official who looked quite "rich" bent over and walked forward. He smiled charmingly and said, "Do you dare to ask the prince, is he going to repeat the incident of Hangzhou Prefecture robbing the wealth and helping the poor in Yingtian Prefecture?"

These words aroused "public indignation", and officials looked at Wu Zheng one after another, with their eyes hostile, at least, not kindness.

Yes, Wu Zheng had outstanding military achievements. To be honest, it is not too much to say that he was the founder of the Qingtai and Yixing dynasties, at least one of them.

However, Yingtian Prefecture is not like Hangzhou Prefecture, and Wu Zheng can do whatever he wants based on his own will.

In the Yixing Dynasty, Wu Zheng did not have many supporters, at most no more than 30%.

The fundamental reason is nothing more than that Wu Zheng once made a move to "rob the rich and help the poor" in Hangzhou Prefecture. Although more than three years have passed, this incident has spread to the capital. With the help of those who are interested, Wu Zheng is obviously an alternative official and is not favored by officials, gentry, and rich gentry.

The reason is very simple. Which of the officials, gentry, and rich gentry does not have any family business?

In their opinion, Wu Zheng’s “robbery of the rich and helps the poor” was directly for their interests, so how could he support Wu Zheng?

Wu Zheng had a slightly crappy eyebrows. This fat man smiled with a shy face. He seemed humble, but in fact he was sinister.

Wu Zheng did do the "robbery of the rich and help the poor" in Hangzhou Prefecture, and he sought two or three million taels, but only once, and the target was a bad merchant and aristocrat who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and had bad comments among the people. He had never extorted money from ordinary merchants, let alone attacking the people.

Even in Hangzhou and other prefectures, merchants have long forgotten about this because they are making more and more profits. Especially after the establishment of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, merchants' voice has increased significantly and the improvement of social status has made Jiangnan merchants an absolute supporter of Wu Zheng.

Almost four years have passed, and it was brought up in public again. Wu Zheng instantly felt disgusted with eating a fly.

"Who are you?" Wu Zheng's tone was obviously not very good.

Huang Daozhou wanted to reconcile the tension, so he kept a distance from Wu Zheng. Of course, this was also what Wu Zheng meant.

Wu Zheng arranged Huang Daozhou as the chief minister. First, he was not at ease with Huang Daozhou at that time and wanted him to be a cold man in the court, observe his words and deeds, and observe his actions. Second, the General's Mansion did not have a suitable position for Huang Daozhou, and Wu Zheng did not like to have a person who was of age and qualifications to suppress him to limit his daily life.

Therefore, when Huang Daozhou saw Wu Zheng being asked a little embarrassed, he stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "This is the Minister of Rites, Yuan Ermei, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was a Jinshi during the Chongzhen period. He served as a doctor of the Ministry of Revenue in the Hongguang Dynasty. He is also an old minister of our dynasty."

Wu Zheng said "hum". In front of so many people, Wu Zheng didn't want to show off his temper, just regarded it as leaving some face to all the officials present.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Ermei beat the snake and said with a stick, "The lower-ranking official is the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. The security of the city is within the scope of the power of the lower-ranking officials. There are thousands of servants under the government and the county government offices, so they can serve the prince!"

However, Wu Zheng ignored him and turned to Huang Daozhou: "Mr. Huang immediately entered the palace, saying that it was my intention, and borrowed an imperial guard from the supervisor and acted according to my deployment."

Yuan Ermei's face turned blue and red, and she was so embarrassed that she was extremely embarrassed.

The prefect of Jingzhao is an important official, and he is a third-rank official. Compared with the ordinary government office, he is a third-level higher. The ordinary government office uses copper seals, but Jingzhao office uses silver seals.

To put it bluntly, county officials are not as good as current officials, and Yuan Ermei is the parent official of Yingtian Prefecture.

I am used to being respected by others on weekdays, but at this time I am selectively ignored by Wu Zheng. Now I really can't come to Taiwan.

Huang Daozhou was stunned and hurriedly said, "Prince, if you really want to be in the top 20, I'm afraid it's not just a rich family, it's...hehe, this matter is very important, please think twice."

Wu Zheng squinted his eyes: "Whether it is a rich family or a royal relative, in my eyes, there are only good law-abiding people and illegal criminals... As I say, if there is not enough manpower, I will use my escort first. I have already dispatched 3,000 troops to Beijing and monitor it first. If there is really illegality, then arrest me and not let anyone go."

Huang Daozhou was determined to hear Wu Zheng's attitude, but instead was excited.

Yes, Huang Daozhou came from the south and was the chief minister of the Longwu Dynasty. In the Yixing Dynasty, there was no one who had much connection with him. He persuaded him before, just because he was afraid that Wu Zheng would touch the rights and interests of the local gentry and cause unnecessary trouble.

When Wu Zheng was determined, Huang Daozhou naturally agreed with his hands.

Yuan Ermei, who had been at a loss, suddenly said, "Please let the officials talk a lot. This move of the prince will probably cause public anger... It's better to slowly plan it."

"Get out!" Wu Zheng calmly spit out the word.

It made everyone present silent.

Yuan Ermei really couldn't stand it anymore. He blushed and did not dare to confront Wu Zheng head-on. He stomped his feet hatefully, arched at Wu Zheng, lifted up his clothes and snatched the door.

Wu Zheng glanced at the people present. To be honest, Wu Zheng didn't trust him very much.

Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Donalds, I will deploy this day, and I will go out of my mouth and into my ears. If there is any leakage, it will be among you... Please do not challenge my bottom line."

....

Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi followed the crowd out of the main hall, chatting while walking.

Wang Yi said: "Actually, what Yuan Ermei said may not be wrong... The prince did this, but the time was not right. There was an enemy siege outside. If the civil unrest occurs again, the consequences would be unpredictable."

Huang Daozhou said calmly: "Mr. Wang is too worried. The prince has been blocking the side of the south for a long time. There is still some thought. Besides, our army has already taken the initiative in the battlefield at this time. Even if there is a chaos, the army in the capital will be enough to deal with it."

"Yes...but why bother?" Wang Yi was really anxious, "Why didn't you wait until you repel the Qing army before purging it? At least, it won't cause internal connections! The chief minister wouldn't persuade the prince?"

Huang Daozhou said with a smile: "If I hadn't known that Brother Wanxun is well-behaved and upright, just by this, you would have been classified as suspicious by me."

Wang Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then a light flashed in his heart and blurted out: "Is it because the prince and the prime minister have made some plans?"

Huang Daozhou shook his head and said, "It would be great if it was as true as Brother Wanxun said. Unfortunately, I am just like you, without knowing it."

Wang Yi was shocked and was still asking questions, but was stopped by Huang Daozhou.

"Brother Wanxun, since the prince and the Prime Minister's military and political affairs, we will be ordered to do our jobs with all our hearts. I will do anything else... I don't have to worry about it, nor can I care about it! Remember!"

Wang Yi nodded helplessly and replied: "Yes."

While talking and talking, I had already left the mansion.
