Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

If the aristocratic family can really unite and incite all those who are dissatisfied with Zhou Xingzhi to do it together, maybe Zhou Xingzhi's throne can be moved.

But the reality lies here, the aristocratic family does not have that ability, and the interests of the aristocratic family and the common people are inherently opposed.The aristocratic family was liquidated, and the extra land was distributed to ordinary people.

Ordinary people who have land are almost equivalent to having food. With food, they can eat enough to live a good life. Since they can live in peace and stability, why do they think about doing right with Zhou Xingzhi?You must know that treason cannot be solved by the death of one person, but will implicate all your relatives. Once you fail, the whole family will be finished.

Furthermore, although the new law promulgated by Zhou Xingzhi distributed to women to a certain extent what originally belonged only to men, but so what.A family is originally composed of men and women. After seeing that mothers, wives, and daughters can live better, do they still object?

To sum up, even if the aristocratic families are making noise, it is within a certain range. They only need to bring a soldier from the guard, and those aristocratic families dare not say a word.

Zhou Xingzhi didn't hit hard at the beginning, he just beat the three worst aristocratic families and made them each vomit a little.

These vomited things will make the family feel a little heartbroken, but they will not endanger their status.Based on the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less, these three aristocratic families also pinched their noses and recognized it.

About ten days later, Zhou Xingzhi selected three families with serious land enclosures and ordered them to count their land and spit out all the things of unknown origin.With the previous example, two of them cooperated very well and handed over their land and people.

As for the remaining family, relying on their prestige in Guangdong and Guangxi, they were very perfunctory to Zhou Xingzhi's order, and only gave ten acres of land symbolically.

"Young Minister of Taichang Temple, is this the result of your family's investigation?" After seeing the papers delivered, Zhou Xingzhi directly turned his face at the court meeting and threw the papers on the ground.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I have already informed the Patriarch of the matter. This is the result of the Patriarch's investigation. I can assure you that I will never enclose the land." The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple was also bitter. This decision was made by his father. Yes, as the second son who is not valued, he can't say much.

"The head of the family?" Zhou Xingzhi snorted coldly, "I haven't heard the saying that the family is greater than the country. Is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment here?"

"The minister is here." The servant of the punishment department stood up.

"I will give you three days to help the head of the family settle the family property. If you have more, you can just bring it back." Zhou Xingzhi said and glanced at the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. The deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army assists you."

This person looks cowardly on the surface, but after speaking like this, his sense of existence has been greatly reduced, and he directly blames the family.Whether it is cowardice or cunning, it is really hard to say.

Sensing Zhou Xingzhi's gaze, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple lowered his head obediently, showing nothing unusual.He has not been valued by the family since he became an official in the dynasty, and he is rarely cared for by the family.When he went back a few days ago, he had said enough, and since they were still stubborn, it was no wonder he left himself out.

"Yes, I obey the order." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment bowed down and saluted, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He came up from a humble family, and he has long been displeased with those aristocratic families. Now he has the opportunity to liquidate the aristocratic families. , he will definitely investigate the origin of every penny seriously!

At this time, the Cheng family didn't know that they were in a catastrophe, and they were still secretly happy for the wise decision they had made.They are sure that Zhou Xingzhi will not turn against the aristocratic family for a little land and money. After all, in their view, the aristocratic family has always been prosperous. If Zhou Xingzhi dares to attack them, it will definitely cause the aristocratic family to rebound. Zhou Xingzhi will not take this risk. .

"The Patriarch, the Patriarch is not good. The Imperial Forest Army has come and has surrounded our residence and we are not allowed to go out." Just as the Patriarch of the Cheng Family was bragging about himself to his fellow family members, the concierge stumbled over. .

"Yu Linjun?" The Patriarch of the Cheng family frowned, "You go and summon the guards in the mansion, and guard the gate for me!"

"Uncle Cheng, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The Imperial Forest Army is His Majesty's direct lineage, which to a certain extent represents His Majesty's meaning." The person who originally drank tea with the Patriarch of the Cheng family showed a embarrassed expression, "Now that the royal family is powerful, Uncle Cheng should not confront His Majesty."

"Nephew, you are too timid. Think about what will happen to your family after compromising with His Majesty. His Majesty took away nearly half of the land, and ended up being reprimanded." The Patriarch of the Cheng family didn't think so. "My Cheng family has nothing else, but I still have some strength of character. After all, there are our branch families in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the scholars there are still very fond of us."

"Uncle Cheng, my nephew suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with at home, so I won't say goodbye." The people who came were not stupid, they were willing to give half of the land as a compromise, which was enough to explain a lot of things.

Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's minister.Today's monarch has neither the support of the people nor the army, and there is no good fruit for the aristocratic family to confront each other.Rather than being treated as the chicken that kills chickens and monkeys, it is better to be the monkey that is warned in peace and stability.

Seeing this, the Patriarch of the Cheng family didn't stop him, but waved his hand and called the butler, "Take out the imperial decree I put in the study."

"Yes." The butler took the order, his face relaxed because of the words of the Patriarch of the Cheng family.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment moved very quickly. He spent a day and a half collecting evidence, and as soon as he had something in his hand, he immediately brought the Imperial Forest Army to trouble the Cheng family.

"Cheng Yuanxu is here!" The Imperial Guard opened the way, and the servant of the Ministry of Punishment quickly stepped through the gate of Cheng's house.After seeing the servant who was holding a stick and posing defensive measures, his face showed displeasure.

"I follow His Majesty's order to investigate Cheng's family. If you insist on standing here, I will regard you as resisting the order." The servant of the punishment department's face darkened, and there was a hint of anger in his words.

The nurses exchanged glances with each other, and finally remained standing in place, confronting the Imperial Forest Army.

"It turns out that the servant is here. I said why there is such a big battle." Just when the atmosphere became dignified, the head of the Cheng family walked over slowly, and the butler behind him held a pendulum in both hands respectfully. plate.

What is this doing?After seeing the things the butler was holding up, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment's face became a little ugly.

"Master Shi Lang, I wonder if you deny this?" The Patriarch of the Cheng family moved a step aside so that they could see the butler.

"This is..." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was a little uncertain, why did he feel that the things on the plate looked like imperial edicts?

"It seems that Mr. Shi Lang can't recognize it, so I will tell you the answer. This is the imperial decree bestowed on the Cheng family by the first emperor when he ascended the throne!" The head of the Cheng family said with a smile, "It is said in the imperial decree that my Cheng family is a family of pillars. Not just anyone can check it out!"
