Domineering Daming

In the cold weather, more than a dozen corpses were dressed thinly and lay side by side on the ground. Each death was different, but they all had the same or similar expressions on their faces—resentment and dissatisfaction.

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, rubbed his hands together and said, "Did you find out?"

Standing beside Zhu Xu, Wang Qiaonian said, "I don't know the details, but the leader is Wang Yuantan, the Minister of Rites of the Wanli Dynasty, and the others are mostly people of science and ethics."

Zhu Xu's face was calm, but he didn't care. With so many people killed by him, how many people did he care about that he didn't want to live?

He carefully looked around and made sure he didn't recognize anyone, and said, "Is it because of the Daming Law revised by the Supervisory Council?"

In the past two months, the imperial court has made many big moves. It is difficult to judge what these people are for?But Wang Yuantan left a blood book, and it has already been rubbed. Wang Qiaonian handed it to Zhu Xu and said, "Wang Yuantan should be, and he yelled a few words before he died."

Zhu Xu took it over, opened it and looked at it, only to see that it read: Junming ministers are worthy, the heavens warn, the country is in ruins, and the people are in dire straits.

There are two lines behind, it seems that there is not enough blood, so I can't see clearly.

In fact, this sentence is saying in a disguised form, Zhu Xu is a foolish emperor, the court is full of villains, natural disasters and man-made disasters are all warnings from the heavens, and the country will be overthrown next, and all people in the world will be in dire straits.

Wang Qiaonian stood beside Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I have ordered the news to be blocked, so not many people should know about it yet."

Zhu Xu didn't care at all. Now, what gossip could make him care?

At this time, an inner eunuch hurried over and whispered something in Cao Huachun's ear.

Cao Huachun's face changed slightly, he glanced at Wang Qiaonian, stepped forward and said behind Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, some people have gone to Changling and are scolding endlessly."

Changling is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong Zhu Di.The reason why it is Changling is because the mausoleum of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is in Nanzhili, which is too far away.

Wang Qiaonian also heard it, and his gaze changed slightly.

Crying at the mausoleum is not a good thing, not to mention that the current emperor is alive, why are you crying at Taizong's mausoleum?

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he put his hands behind his back and said, "How many people?"

"A lot, it is said that there are 30 people." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu glanced at Wang Qiaonian from the corner of his eye, and said, "What do you think?"

It wasn't long before Wang Qiaonian stepped into the court, but he also felt the danger and danger inside.Ming and Ming courts are all focused on innovation, the more they can do, the more opposition will be raised, there will be disturbances between the government and the opposition, there will be no peace, there will be endless noise and disputes.

After being silent for a while, Wang Qiaonian said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court must move forward with all its strength and cannot be swayed by public opinion from the outside world. It should push decisively and not back down!"

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "What about these things outside?"

Wang Qiaonian said in a deep voice, "There will be an investigation and punishment, and there will be no punishment!"

"It's also a way."

Zhu Xu looked at the dozens of corpses in front of him and said, "Today we will discuss the revised laws, what do you think?"

Before Wang Qiaonian could speak, Sun Chuanting rushed over, looked at Zhu Xu, raised his hand and said, "I believe that there will be no retreat! All laws have been unanimously passed!"

Zhu Xu frowned slightly, glanced at him, put his hands in front of him, and rubbed them slowly.

Looking at Zhu Xu's expression, Wang Qiaonian raised his hand suddenly, and said, "Subject! How can the government be threatened by Xiaoxiao? Today we must show the determination of the cabinet and put an end to all ambitions!"

Having said that, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and Prince Jing also arrived one after the other, and hurriedly saluted: "I see the emperor."

Zhu Xu said "hmm" and said, "Let's have a look at the corpse first."

The three of them had already heard the report on the way here, and when they looked at the already stiff corpse, their faces changed for a while.

If it gets out, their cabinet will lose all face. I don't know how many verbal criticisms there will be, and I don't know how it will be written in the history books!

King Jing knew about the blood letter, and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, this matter is due to the negligence of the Governor's Council, please punish me!"

Zhu Xu glanced at Prince Jing, then at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, and said calmly, "What do you think?"

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other, and they both frowned slightly. Now they are in a dilemma, one is the anger of public opinion, and the other is the majesty of the court.

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu, pondered, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be dealt with decisively. This matter must be suppressed and cannot be spread!"

Wang Qiaonian looked at the other four elders who didn't know about the crying mausoleum, so he glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "My lords don't know yet, there are still a group of people rushing into Changling, crying and crying. Know what to say."

The expressions of Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, King Jing, Sun Chuanting and others changed again, and their eyes became gloomy.

This is clearly a provocation!To drive their cabinet to a dead end!

There was a touch of determination in the corner of Bi Ziyan's face, and he said: "Your Majesty, I believe that whether it is the law revised by the Governor's Council or other government affairs, it needs to be promulgated as soon as possible, and the attitude is strictly stated. All will be severely punished!"

Sun Chuanting shook his head, and said: "It's okay to say that the capital is so big, Daming is so big, it can't control the mouths of so many people, so we have to do everything together."

"How to do it in a multi-pronged manner?" Sun Chengzong said.

Sun Chuanting raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that on the one hand, we must strengthen the containment of Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, we must expand the propaganda of the 'New Deal', and at the same time, we must strictly select those who become officials. On the side of the 'New Deal', the matter of Qian Qianyi must be put an end to! In addition, I believe that officials all over the world need to 'declare' their attitudes, especially high-ranking court officials, who must show it to the court and the emperor on various occasions. Determination!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Chuanting calmly.

This one is ruthless enough. Once this method is used, half of the people in the government and the opposition will hate the cabinet and Sun Chuanting to death, either explicitly or secretly.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong frowned, cracked down on Xiaoxiao, and increased the propaganda of the "New Deal". It's something that high officials do.

If officials all over the world do this, it may cause unexpected backlash.

At the same time, they also thought of the laws drawn up by the Governor's Council, many of which involved stricter restrictions on officials, especially "property publicity". With this article, I am afraid that officials all over the world will rebel.

When Wang Qiaonian saw Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong didn't speak, he suddenly raised his hand and said, "The minister seconded the proposal. At this juncture, it is even more necessary for the cabinet to show unity. We must not give any ambitious people a chance!"

Prince Jing glanced at Sun Chuanting and Wang Qiaonian, his heart skipped a beat, and he said to Zhu Xu in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, even though there are some regulations that can be discussed, there is nothing to be discussed right now. Please vote in the cabinet!"

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan suddenly came to their senses at this moment. Prince Jing, Wang Qiaonian, and Sun Chuanting had already taken up the vote, and the vote would be three to two!

There was a hint of horror in the eyes of the two, not for the law, nor for this vote, but for the comparison of the number of people: three to two!This shows that, as the left and right assistants of the cabinet, they have lost control of the cabinet!

Now Bi Ziyan finally understood more deeply how important Sun Chuanting was to him, and Wang Qiaonian was too careless and negligent in treating Prince Jing at the same time!

The voting ratio of the cabinet was within Zhu Xu's expectations. Sun Chuanting, Prince Jing, and Wang Qiaonian were his people after all.

However, the three of them worked together to express a tough attitude, which really exceeded Zhu Xu's expectations.

But that's okay, he was the one who worked hard every time, and now that the cabinet was about to step up to the fore, he was happy and relaxed.

There was a tank on the top of the cabinet, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Well, this matter will be handled by the cabinet. It must be handled cleanly and swiftly. It must take into account both Beijing, China and Beijing, and the north and south of the river. The action must be fast, and some people cannot be given a chance. , all the yamen must cooperate with each other, they cannot fight alone, let alone cause internal strife, dragging each other down..."

Bi Ziyan and other five ministers raised their hands one after another, and while listening, they had another feeling.

That is, the emperor in front of him is very worried about them, explaining and enjoining them again and again.

Some people felt that Zhu Xu was serious and responsible, some didn't dare to think too much, and some people felt strange, because they were always worried about the emperor's recklessness, and the emperor was worried that they would not do things!
