Chapter 1457
Those ministers understood that His Majesty wanted to completely eliminate those who harbored dissent in the court.

It's just that they are worried about one thing now. Those people have all been demoted to common people. What about the vacant positions?
The ministers went home with their own ideas in mind.

The first thing to do when you get home is to restrain your family members and ask them not to go out as much as possible during this time.

They felt that Da Mo would be in chaos for a while.

At this time, it is better to stay at home peacefully, otherwise, it is easy to be affected by the fish in the pond.

They just returned home, and then found that Yuan Yushan had already started patrolling with his troops.

But anyone who wants to rebel has to weigh it first. Do they have the ability?

Not to mention that Ding Guogong just wanted to use those people to force Emperor Mo to make up his mind, and he had no intention of rebelling at all.

Let’s just say that they want to rebel, but they don’t have the ability.

Look at the soldiers and horses that Yuan Yushan was carrying, the armor they were wearing, and the big swords in their hands, they were all the best.

They are all produced by Wang'an Trading Company, and have been tempered and tempered.

How can ordinary local soldiers compare to the equipment of His Majesty's trusted soldiers?

Seeing such a sharp blade in His Majesty's hands, those ministers who have always stood by His Majesty's side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now His Majesty has his own sword.

Not everyone can easily sway.

Hubu Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief just now, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat: "Old Qi, is Your Majesty demonstrating to Ding Guogong?"

After going to court, Shangshu Hubu couldn't go home alone with peace of mind, so he followed Qi Bokang to Elder Qi's mansion.

He always wanted to say a few words to Qibo Kang, so he could feel at ease.

"Demonstrating to Duke Ding?" Qi Bokang stroked his beard with a smile and asked, "Master Ding?"

Hubu Shangshu was slightly taken aback.

Qi Bokang continued: "Duke Dingguo is nothing more than a courtier of Da Mo. In His Majesty's eyes, he is nothing at all."

"Then, Your Majesty, this is..." Hubu Shangshu couldn't understand.

Duke Ding didn't bring any rebel troops with him at all, and Yuan Yushan suddenly led the soldiers on patrol, which seemed a bit unnecessary.

"Your Majesty wants to let the people of Da Mo see who is in charge of Da Mo." Qi Bokang could still understand the pain in Emperor Mo's heart.

"How many times has His Majesty compromised for Da Mo? Why is that?"

Qi Bokang's question stunned the Minister of the Household Department, and then he nodded suddenly: "Your Majesty, it's not easy."

His Majesty has compromised many times for the sake of Da Mo, and even, at some point, he suddenly fueled the arrogance of some people.

Not to mention anything else, just Ding Guogong and those people actually think that they can give advice on His Majesty's decision, and His Majesty should act according to what they say.

In the past, His Majesty was worried about the people of Da Mo and did not want Da Mo to be in turmoil.

Whenever there is any change in the Great Moment, the first unlucky people will always be the ordinary people at the bottom.

Your Majesty has made compromises again and again for the sake of the people.

Today, Your Majesty is different.

Your Majesty now has money in his hands and good weapons in his army.

It can be said that the army under His Majesty's current control is strong and strong. Even if someone rebels, His Majesty will go to war without hesitation.

That's what it takes to be rich.

Didn't Ding Guogong keep accusing Wang'an Trading Company of being rich and invincible in the court?
Your Majesty just wanted to let Duke Ding see it. It is precisely because Wang'an Trading Company is so rich that it rivals any country, so His Majesty has the confidence to sanction them.

Even if Ding Guogong and the others are all dealt with, Damo will not be in turmoil, and the people will not suffer hardships.

Looking at the reaction of the Hubu Shangshu, Qi Bokang knew that the Hubu Shangshu had already figured it out. He smiled and said: "At the beginning, Xixi always disliked His Majesty for being poor, but now, His Majesty is rich. Do you see the gap now?"

Hubu Shangshu is not a fool if he can sit in this position, what can't he see?

It was precisely because he saw it that the Hubu Shangshu couldn't help but sighed repeatedly: "Mr. Ding doesn't allow it, he can't, but he doesn't think of a way at all."

"He thinks His Royal Highness King Qi shouldn't come back, it's entirely his own wish."

"He couldn't see the changes in Da Mo because of the return of His Royal Highness King Qi."

Hubu Shangshu felt the deepest, after all, he was in charge of money.

In the past, he was struggling everywhere, but now...he finally felt the feeling of being rich.

Spending money is no longer the same as it used to be, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, all kinds of embarrassments.

He also knew that the soldiers needed money, thick cotton coats in winter, and replacement of weapons and armor.

The question is, does the treasury have so much silver?
There is a natural or man-made disaster, and the treasury will pay out money.

Other miscellaneous things, such as building dams and rivers, droughts and floods, all need money to deal with.

Anyway, Ding Guogong gave all kinds of pointers, but did not make any substantial changes in Da Mo.

"Old Qi, we were still narrow-minded before." The Minister of the Household Department sighed, "If there is no Wang'an Commercial Firm of His Royal Highness King Qi, we can only save money, and we don't understand the principle of increasing income."

They used to just hold the little things in their hands, trying hard to think of various ways to deal with things.

However, when His Royal Highness King Qi came back, it was completely different.

With money, many things can be solved directly, and there is no need to offer any good strategies.

The people can't eat enough, so they use money to build greenhouses and grow crops.

Where do we need to build dams and transport money there, what else can't be solved?

Da Mo has no shortage of people with ideas, the key is the lack of money.

"That's right." Qi Bokang said with a gratified smile, "With the Wang'an Firm, how many changes have taken place in Damo. These Dingguo Gongs all pretended not to see it, and he only acted with his own thoughts. He... Continuing to stay in that position will only harm Da Mo."

"However, so many people have been demoted to common people, and those vacant positions..." Hubu Shangshu was still a little worried.

"Do you think that Wang'an Trading Company has only made money these years? Don't forget, they still have a school, their eclectic teaching methods, and His Majesty's support. Those positions will not be vacant."

Only then did Shangshu Hubu react: "Your Majesty has already prepared for this."

Qi Bokang just smiled and said nothing, and the Minister of the Household Department understood it completely.

That's right, Wang'an Commercial Bank's school has been opened, and the things taught there are also different.

However, how can it be possible to cultivate people in the officialdom without His Majesty's permission?

In other words, His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qi have long thought of completely replacing Duke Ding and his disciples.

Duke Ding's fate today... Hubu Shangshu shivered violently.

Ding Guogong, is this a self-inflicted trap?
