: Exhausted

"I must bear in mind His Majesty's instructions and never dare to disappoint His Majesty again."

Yang Shen assured loudly that he would no longer dare to ignore the management of the Baijia Association without Zhu Houzhao's warning.

It was fun to dance with the academic masters of Sun Moon Academy and talk about scriptures and Taoism, but it was not as important as my own life.

At this time, Yang Shen was not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Tinghe was also secretly glad that Zhu Houzhao did not want to make the matter a big deal, otherwise he would have been greatly affected.

He is already the second assistant in the cabinet, and his merits and qualifications are sufficient. If Yang Shen's incident ruins his career as the first assistant, Yang Tinghe will probably be so angry that he vomits blood.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Ministry of Revenue for using power for personal gain, regardless of the life and death of military personnel!"

As soon as the Shi Xingfeng incident ended, people from the military headquarters jumped out impatiently. Sun Yuanying, who was in charge of the military law department, looked angry and his eyes were on fire.

Sun Yuanying was an upright person and had always been known for his strict law enforcement. Although he was a scholar, he was deeply respected by the military officers and generals. He opened his mouth to impeach the Ministry of Household Affairs, which instantly attracted Zhu Houzhao's great attention.

Before Zhu Houzhao could speak, Hou Wenjing, the Minister of Household Affairs, took the lead and shouted angrily:

"Sun Yuanying, don't lie with your words. Everyone in the household department always remembers the emperor's kindness and works diligently without daring to slack off at all. How can you say that you use power for personal gain?"

"A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years. The soldiers fought hard on the front line, and finally lost their lives. They have made great contributions to the country and the people of the world."

It turned out that a member of the Guangxi Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs transferred all the pensions of more than a dozen soldiers who died in the war to his relatives.

After all, he is one of the veterans who has been with him for the longest time. Zhu Houzhao knows Wang Zuo's character very well. This old man is very old and cannot do anything to damage his reputation. This pension issue should be caused by people below him deceiving his superiors. .

What happened to Shi Xingfeng didn't matter, they were really in big trouble.

Being directly ignored, Hou Wenjing was immediately furious. She was about to argue with Sun Yuanying, but was shouted back by Zhu Houzhao.

"Wang Aiqing is old and can't remember many things. Hou Aiqing is young and powerful and knows everything about the world. It's up to you to tell me what it means to be destitute!"

Zhang Mao, Qi Jiguang, Yue Fei, Hu Dakui, Liu Lu, Zhu Youqi, Li Cheng, Li Min

All the military generals knelt down and asked Zhu Houzhao to make the decision. If they could not protect the interests of the soldiers, how could they, as generals, have the dignity to lead their subordinates?

"Lao Chen, Lao Chen"

The emperor was so angry that it would be unjust if he just did it to them all in his anger.

This matter was made known to the families of the soldiers who died in the war, and they reported it to the military headquarters, which made the entire military headquarters furious and demanded justice.

Sun Yuanying snorted coldly and ignored Hou Wenjing. He looked directly at Zhu Houzhao. The military department needed justice, and only the emperor could give it this justice.

"I heard that there is a word among the people called Chi Jue Hu. Wang Aiqing is knowledgeable and well-read. Can you explain to me what Chi Jue Hu means?"

The angry Zhu Houzhao is not scary, at least there is room for maneuver in things. The calm Zhu Houzhao is the most terrifying. No one knows how cruel and ruthless his next step will be.

"However, some unscrupulous people dare to touch even the pensions of soldiers after their death. Such inhumane people are no different from animals!"

"Tell me, and also tell all the gentlemen in this room, what is the meaning of "eating one's family"?

Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed loudly, exuding a strong murderous aura, like a god of murder, and roared at the ministers:

"It's really good to take away pensions that should belong to others and turn a blind eye to the bloody contributions of frontline soldiers. It's really good, very good!"

However, Zhu Houzhao not only did not touch them, but personally walked down the imperial steps, helped Wang Zuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, and said with a smile:

Looking up at Zhu Houzhao with a smile on his face, Wang Zuo felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet, straight to the top of his head, and shivered violently.

"The so-called deprivation is actually an act of destroying one's conscience."

His sharp gazes flickered back and forth on all the officials in the House Department, which made them tremble with fear and make it difficult to breathe.

"My dear, please step aside for now."

With the emperor's words, Sun Yuanying immediately explained the matter: "Your Majesty, this is what happened."

How could Wang Zuo not know what it meant to eat a dead household? It was precisely because he knew that he did not dare to say it. If he did, he would be afraid that it would completely arouse the emperor's anger.

"Okay okay"

Hu Dakui roared with red eyes. Several of the soldiers who had their pensions taken away were his brothers.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision for the dead soldiers?"

"Chen, Chen"

Taking advantage of the pensions of soldiers killed in battle angered not only the emperor and military generals, but also countless soldiers who fought in bloody battles.

I fought hard in the front and even lost my life, but my wife, children, and children couldn't even receive a pension to ensure their livelihood. Who can accept this?

"you"

They were all court ministers, and all of them were very wealthy, but they had never touched the soldiers' pensions.

Wang Zuo has been in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs over the years, and he has worked hard without any credit. Zhu Houzhao did not want to embarrass him, so he immediately looked at Hou Wenjing, the Minister of Household Affairs, and said calmly:

Zhu Houzhao shouted impatiently. Hou Wenjing was so frightened that her mind began to work quickly, and she boldly said:

"The pension for an ordinary soldier is ten yuan of low-grade spiritual crystals a year, which can be converted into about one thousand taels of silver. In today's era, it can only guarantee a living."

"If you want to get involved with such a small thing, why can't people stop being greedy?"

"What happened to make Aiqing so angry? Even if you tell me, I will make the decision for the military."

"snort"

Zhu Houzhao kept applauding, and was so angry that he even dared to touch the pensions of soldiers who died in battle. Some people really thought that he had not been able to kill people for a long time, and this time he was going to go on a killing spree.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiaowu, Zhang Laosan, they all participated in the battle against foreign civilizations, and later died in the battle against the ancient elven civilization of life. They are all heroes of our dynasty!"

Hou Wenjing broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. Zhu Houzhao's aura was so overwhelming that it frightened him so much that he couldn't even speak fluently. He couldn't say anything for a long time.

The angry words gradually turned cold, making the officials shudder. All the household officials did not dare to say a word. They all fell to their knees with their heads on the ground, feeling extremely frightened.

Zhu Houzhao also realized that something was wrong, looked at the aggrieved Sun Yuanying, and said in a deep voice:

"Hahahahaha"

"In the folk, if the backbone of a family dies and only orphans and widows are left, they will be oppressed by clan relatives or neighbors, and their family fortune will be ruined in various ways."

"Until the end, the family is destroyed."

"Eat it to the death, eat it to the end, eat it to the end and make people become extinct. That's eating it to the end."

The killing intent in Zhu Houzhao's eyes was so strong that it seemed to be real, and he asked the ministers angrily: "Did you hear everything clearly?"
