Cannon Fodder is King [Quick Transmigration]

"Who?"

Xiao Deren raised his head abruptly, and stared at Meng Zezhi. He couldn't care less about the dignity of a monarch and minister. He confirmed with an expression of disbelief: "You, you are talking about the Commander of the Golden Guard?"

Because Emperor Taizu was born in poverty, the most unacceptable thing in his life was that officials corrupted the law and oppressed the people, so after the Dayang Dynasty established the country, he established Zhijinwei.He is in charge of supervising officials, balancing the court, maintaining imperial power, collecting military and political intelligence, and in charge of prisons. He also has the power to inspect and arrest, and is directly responsible to the emperor.

The leader of Zhijinwei is the commander, which is equivalent to the spy chief of later generations.

"Correct."

Xiao Deren said with great difficulty: "I remember that since the founding of Dayang Dynasty, there has never been a woman who is an official."

"Yes, you remember correctly." Meng Zezhi replied lightly: "I, I am so masculine."

"Forehead."

With a long ending, several old scholars couldn't stand the stimulation, rolled their eyes, and fainted on the spot.

"Master Liu...Master Song..."

The hall immediately became chaotic.

Meng Zezhi stood up suddenly, and was about to announce the imperial physician, when he saw Xiao Deren knelt down, and tried to persuade him: "It's against ethics to divide the peaches and cut off the sleeves. Ben, how can, how can you make such frivolous and absurd remarks."

The implication is that you can engage in men secretly, but you must never talk about it on the stage.

In their cognition, it is not surprising that the wind of splitting peaches and breaking sleeves has existed since ancient times.In other words, in this court, it is not that there are no officials who have raised children and made brothers, but have you seen anyone accuse them?

No, that's because while enjoying masculinity, they are also full of wives and concubines and full of children and grandchildren. Therefore, in the eyes of the world who regard family succession as the right way, they can only be regarded as elegant and hobbies.

It happened that Meng Zezhi came to Meng Zezhi's place, for the sake of a man, he regarded the succession of the family as a trifling matter, and abandoned his ancestors' foundation.

This, isn't this what the faint king did?

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't care less about the officials who passed out, and knelt down one after another: "Long live, think twice!"

"What Aiqing said is very true." Meng Zezhi's tone was full of approval, and then changed his voice: "It's just that I have made up my mind, and I have fallen in love with Lu Li for a long time, so I must accept him as my queen and keep him for a lifetime. A good story about a couple in a lifetime."

The implication is that he is not even ready to have a child.

"Long live—" All the civil and military officials were heartbroken: "I'm confused."

Is it a good story to spend the rest of your life with a man?

"I'm not confused." Meng Zezhi said in a good voice, "If I'm not going to give birth, wouldn't there still be King Rui and King Zhao? Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, I still have a sense of proportion in major matters."

"This, can this be the same?" All the officials were instantly distracted by him.

"Why is it different." Meng Zezhi replied: "This throne is not that whoever I let sit can sit."

What he said was so domineering that all the officials were speechless for a moment.

After all, it can't be said that this matter is inaccurate, it will lose your head.

"Long live," Lu Zengxiang stood up, "dividing peaches and cutting off sleeves is ultimately against the principles of yin and yang in heaven and earth. The majestic king of a country wants to kill himself for a man. If it is spread, it will make the people of the world and all the vassal states laugh at it." In this way, the imperial court is humiliated, what is the majesty of Long Live? It also gives the traitor an opportunity, if things go on like this, the country will not rule the country!"

This is clearly saying that if Meng Zezhi insists on going his own way, his rule may be threatened.

"They dare not." Meng Zezhi said leisurely.

Not to mention that most of the civil and military members of the current Manchu Dynasty are his people, and there are only a few people who are qualified to rebel, one is the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the other is the clansmen of King Rui.

It would be nice to take this opportunity to lure out those remnants of the previous dynasty.

As for King Rui and the others, they are all 'captive' in the capital at the moment, and their every move is under his nose. If they dare to make any changes, Meng Zezhi will dare to raise the butcher's knife again.

What's more, it might not be too late for these clan relatives to be happy when they hear the news. After all, Emperor Ning Wu has no descendants, doesn't it mean that their descendants have the opportunity to become the next emperor?

The most important thing is that there are more than [-] people from the Shenji Battalion defending the capital, so why should he not be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

——The original Shenji Battalion was composed of [-] officers and soldiers. After Meng Zezhi succeeded to the throne, he transferred half of the soldiers to supplement the maritime trade fleet, and [-] officers and soldiers were transferred from the Xiaoqi, Qianfeng, Jianrui and other barracks, and from Longwu [-] sailors were transferred from the military camps such as Taizhou and Taizhou to fill the Shenji camp.

At the same time, hundreds of skilled craftsmen were recruited from the Southland. Today's Firearms Bureau can produce an average of more than [-] guns of various types and [-] ammunition per month.

In the current Shenji Battalion, more than half of the officers and soldiers are equipped with muskets.

And this is where Meng Zezhi's confidence lies.

Otherwise, how dare he throw this musket out.

This reason was so powerful that the officials could not help but choke.But they still didn't give up, and wanted to persuade again: "Long live..."

"That's enough." Having said all that needs to be said, Meng Zezhi was a little impatient: "Let's end the discussion here today and retreat from the court."

After speaking, he got up and left the Supreme Harmony Gate.

Only then did Tao An come to his senses, and quickly shouted, "Retire."

Back at Zhaoren Hall, Meng Zezhi ordered: "By the way, let's release all the extra eunuchs and maids in the harem. Anyway, there will be no new masters in the palace for a long time. Keep them here." It’s also a waste of money.”

"Yes." Tao An replied respectfully.

The old man can take it easy, as long as Meng Zezhi is happy, he is better than anything else.

Speaking of this, Meng Zezhi remembered one thing: "The sage said that the body and skin should not be harmed by the parents. However, the eunuch system, because of the benefit of the emperor's family, will kill tens of millions of people and suffer heartaches." The pain of the gallbladder is really despicable, harmful to reason, and devoid of human nature. From this dynasty, the eunuch system will be abolished. The deacons used in the palace before can be retained as usual, but eunuchs will not be recruited in the future."

The purpose of the former emperors setting up eunuchs was that on the one hand, they needed people to serve themselves and many concubines and other members of the royal family, and on the other hand, they wanted to prevent the concubines and servants from committing adultery, so as to ensure the purity of their bloodlines.

Meng Zezhi didn't need to take these things into consideration, so he was happy to do a good deed.

Besides, didn't he send someone to eunuch Zhao Yijing some time ago?

In the original plot, because Zhao Yijing does not take concubines or prostitutes, he only guards Xing Xiaoya all his life. The love story between the two was written into a storybook by the people of the time and passed down, leaving a long history.

Meng Zezhi didn't mind keeping this treatment for Zhao Yijing.

But you have to change the name, such as the last eunuch in China.

Just as he was talking, Lu Li came.

Seeing this, Tao An tactfully called the maids standing aside to retreat, and closed the door for them by the way.

Meng Zezhi stretched out his hand, and pulled the man who was full of joy, but his face was invisible, into his arms, sniffed the fragrance of his body, met his slightly twinkling eyebrows, and slightly curved his lips: "Are you happy?"

Lu Li's breathing slowed down, and his eyes turned red instantly. With his mouth half-opened, he suddenly felt that his throat was dry, and he couldn't speak at all.

"It seems to be happy." Meng Zezhi half-closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to pick up his chin, stamped it, and said vaguely while biting: "In this case, should you repay me well?"

Lu Li was deeply moved, and naturally let him do the trick.

When the emotion was getting strong, Meng Zezhi stopped his movements as if he thought of something.

"Huh?" With a long nasal voice, Lu Li opened his hazy eyes.

"I'll show you something nice." Meng Zezhi exerted a little force, picked him up and walked behind the screen.

As he walked, he said: "The craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau just made something a few days ago, look--"

As soon as Lu Li looked up, in the clear and bright glass mirror, Meng Zezhi was neatly dressed, and as for him...

Xu Shi was too ashamed, suddenly, he curled his toes and clenched his mouth.

Meng Zezhi snorted and leaned into Lu Li's ear, "Does it look good?"

It really is a bad embryo.

Lu Li panted lightly, but he couldn't help looking down from the corner of his eye.

Three days later, in the morning court, Meng Zezhi specially asked someone to wrap a thick layer of woolen blankets on the pillars and the door of the inner hall of the Supreme Harmony Gate in advance, so that all the censors who were about to die under the impassioned will die. The speaker was caught off guard.

After half a month of tossing around like this, all the officials who had vowed to fight Meng Zezhi to the end suddenly stopped, looking as honest as they could be.

On the contrary, Meng Zezhi felt uncomfortable.

Afterwards, he found out that Lu Li, who was suffocating in his heart, got out of the dragon bed, turned around and mobilized his subordinates to collect a lot of information about these officials, and delivered them to their bedsides in the dark.

They had no choice but to succumb to Lu Li's majesty.

But the news spread out, and of course it caused a storm.

Meng Zezhi was relentless, he chopped off the heads of several remnants of the previous dynasty, cut off the title of King Zhao who took the opportunity to jump up and down, and exiled a dozen candidates who spoke wild words, and by the way, he even took a group of officials. Barely quelled the chaos.

It's just that in private, Meng Zezhi's reputation has been completely ruined, and he has become synonymous with a faint king.

Meng Zezhi didn't care about this. Now that he was in power, these scholars were never the ones he wanted to win over.

Then, the sea trade fleet came back.

When Qian Boyu rushed back to the capital with thousands of horse-drawn carriages, it was just at the time when he would try to release the list.

Two-meter-long ivory, hill-like red coral, piles of rhino horns, tiger bones, boxes of gold and silver, and a dazzling array of jewels, jadeite, and ambergris...

The eyes of all civil and military officials became popular.

"Long live, I have lived up to my entrustment and successfully completed the task." Qian Boyu was very excited.

"Aiqing has worked hard all the way." Meng Zezhi personally helped him up, looking at the treasures in this place, his face was flushed: "Come, tell me about what you have seen and heard along the way."

"Yes." Qian Boyu said in a vibrating voice: "The minister's mission to the West has lasted for more than seven months, passing through more than [-] countries, and the farthest reached Horumos (located in the Arabian Peninsula, at the exit of the Persian Gulf). For details, I have ordered someone to draw a chart."

Meng Zezhi is not very interested in these things, he wants to know how the trade situation is.

"...Crazy, all crazy, a piece of silk for one tael or six can be sold for 30 taels of silver, and a pack (four boxes) of matches can be sold for a sky-high price of one tael of gold... On the contrary, the profit of porcelain and tea can only be regarded as average, but it is also possible to increase it by five or six times.”

"I got a total of 5000 taels of gold and 87 taels of silver this time, and there are countless rare treasures."

Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, Qian Boyu immediately recruited his cronies, took a wooden box, opened it, and presented it to Meng Zezhi: "My humble minister is incompetent, and among the things that Long Live told me to look for, I only found this. "

Looking at the corn cob tied with a silk ribbon in the wooden box, Meng Zezhi's eyes lit up, even the huge pile of gold, silver and jewels was far less than the surprise brought to him by the corn cob in front of him.

Meng Zezhi was overjoyed, he quickly asked: "How many of these things did you bring back?"

"It's not less than three thousand catties." Seeing Emperor Ning Wu's overjoyed appearance, Qian Boyu smiled even more, and it was worth his effort to collect these things.

"Okay, okay." Meng Zezhi took a deep breath: "Aiqing's trip is a great achievement."

In the current Dayang dynasty, although the cultivation level is much higher than that of the previous dynasty, the average grain yield per mu in the north and south is only 340 catties, and there are still many farmers who cannot eat enough.

Now that there is such a sharp tool that consumes less land, has high yields, and is not limited to the planting environment, it is expected that it will not be difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people within five years.
