Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu looked at these two people and shook his head secretly. He was certain in his heart that these two people were probably the ones who opened the city gate to Li Zicheng in history.

"How many people are there in your two families?" Zhu Xu put down his teacup and asked calmly.

Xu Yunzhen and Zhu Chunchen trembled violently, cold sweat dripped down their faces, falling to the ground drop by drop, unable to speak a single word.

Is the emperor going to exile their whole family?

At this time, they finally remembered that the emperor in front of him could do anything!

Naturally, Bi Ziyan couldn't watch the two dukes be exiled to the South China Sea, otherwise it would appear that the court was too mean, and the royal family in the world, Xunqing, would really be divorced from morality and plan to plot wrongdoing.

He sat down and pondered for a while, then raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although the two Dukes are responsible for lax discipline, fortunately they did not make a big mistake, please forgive me."

Zhu Xu didn't look at Bi Ziyan either, just silently looked at Xu Yunzhen and Zhu Chunchen.

Although Xu and Zhu lowered their heads and couldn't see Zhu Xu's expression clearly, they were still shaking like a mountain on their backs.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Xu Yunzhen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.He is not a man of backbone, he cannot bear such pressure.

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup again, and said seemingly unintentionally: "The old port and Luzon provinces are playing for me. There are a lot of people missing there, especially now that there are many fertile wastelands, and there are too many uneducated barbarians in the local area. Two reclamation envoys with sufficient status, who do you think is more suitable?"

Although Xu Yunzhen and Zhu Chunchen didn't have great abilities, they were not stupid. Zhu Xu's words were so simple and clear, how could they not understand!In particular, the emperor asked "how many people are there in the two families" before, which clearly told them that they could either go obediently or "go with the whole family"!

Both of them are the Dukes of the current dynasty, not to mention the high position and weight, but they are also extremely noble, they are prominent Xunqings!If you go to a desert land thousands of miles away, what is the overflow with death?

"I...please, I am willing to go to Lu Song." Suddenly, Xu Yunzhen said.It's better for him to go alone than to involve the whole family.The emperor's hint was so obvious, he knew very well that he couldn't help but refuse, and he didn't deserve to continue acting.

Zhu Chunchen didn't expect Xu Yunzhen to agree so easily. He was not smart. He glanced at Xu Yunzhen, saw his face livid, his eyes flickering, his heart moved suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "I ask for an order, and I am willing to go to Jiugang to be a nibbler of Jiugang. shit……"

Zhu Xu laughed, held his teacup and said, "Well, it's good that you have such an attitude." Then, he turned to Bi Ziyan and said, "Issuing reward documents to the Duke of Erguo, and then sending plaques to the people in the capital. Take a look, study hard, this is my father-in-law of Daming!"

Bi Ziyan didn't move on his face, but his heart was shaken. The emperor's wrists in front of him became more and more flexible and clever, and the problem was solved in a few sentences without causing any difficulties.

"Observe the order." Bi Ziyan said.

Zhu Xu sat there cross-legged, thought for a while, looked at Xu, and Zhu said: "Well, your memorials will be delivered to the cabinet as soon as possible, and there will be rewards, and your son will also be forgiven for your righteous deeds. "

Xu Yunzhen and Zhu Chunchen's faces were pale and bloodless, and they knelt down on one knee, saying dryly, "Yes, I thank the emperor for your kindness."

"Well, let's go." Zhu Xu waved his hands.He didn't want to take another look at such a thing.

"I will leave." Xu and Zhu said.When the two came here, they thought of many strategies, and they were fully sure that Zhu Xu would make big things into small things, and small things into small things. They never expected such an ending!

After the two left, Zhu Xu continued his cup of tea, looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "Master Bi, what do you think of this matter?"

Bi Ziyan didn't know which one Zhu Xu was asking, and after a while he said: "The emperor's handling is very appropriate."

Zhu Xu saw that he was pretending to be confused, so he said directly: "It's about Liang Chengyong, the closed disciple of Master Bi, who was covering up for himself."

Chapter 941 Lenovo

Bi Ziyan raised his hand and pleaded guilty: "Liang Chengyong is indeed a closed disciple of the minister. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, and his knowledge has grown rapidly. Now he is also full of talents and has a good reputation among scholars. I never thought of him. I will act favoritism and cover up, and I have ordered the Supervisory Council to be dismissed and investigated. I have the responsibility of knowing people and ignoring them, and I ask the emperor to come down."

Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed, holding the tea lid in his hand, stroking the tea, with deep eyes.

Although it is said that the faction has basically been wiped out now.However, most of Daming's talent discovery is still based on "acquaintances", and the real recommendation, monitoring, and verification systems have not yet been established.

Regardless of whether Liang Chengyong has problems or not, Bi Ziyan promoted him based on his personal preferences. This model is not normal.

But this cannot be accomplished overnight, and needs to be done slowly. Right now, a stricter and more intensive monitoring system must be established first.

"There are too many responsibilities in this matter, let's put it aside for now. What I want to talk about is how to avoid this kind of thing, how to find out as soon as possible after something happens, do you have any ideas?" Zhu Xu put down his teacup and looked at Bi Ziyan road.

Bi Ziyan was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Liang Chengyong's appointment was recommended by the Governor's Office, filed by the Ministry of Officials, approved by King Jing, and checked by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. He was very upright in the past. Innocent, I was confused this time, but with the Ministry of Punishment and the Governor's Yuan constraining each other, the case will be discovered soon... What does the emperor mean?"

Zhu Xu paused, what Bi Ziyan said was true, but it was not his idea.

"Do you feel that the Governor's Council has too much power?" So Zhu Xu went a step further and asked.

Bi Ziyan immediately understood, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "The emperor wants to split up the Governor's Yuan and set up six departments again?"

Zhu Xu rubbed his chin subconsciously. The thoughts of these adults are always in the circle of the past. When they see something, they want to go back.

"The patrol censor is not a resident institution, and his responsibilities are completely different from those of the previous twelve censors."

Zhu Xu patiently explained, and said: "In the beginning, the science was good, but later it became a tool of party struggle, a vanguard of internal friction, and I have no intention of recovering... I plan to separate the Anti-Corruption Bureau from the Governor's Council, what do you think? "

Bi Ziyan didn't expect Zhu Xu to mean this, he pondered for a while, and said: "I think it is possible, if it is under the leadership of the cabinet, it can indeed have a strong supervision of the world's officials, and can play all the roles from appointment to prosecution and punishment. , to avoid private granting and accepting by the Governor's Council, favoritism and fraud."

Zhu Xu could tell that Bi Ziyan had scruples and reservations about the Governor's Council, but this was what he wanted, and a cabinet with no scruples would be terrible.

But this anti-corruption bureau, Zhu Xu didn't mean to put it in the cabinet either, he smiled and said: "I intend to directly lead it."

Bi Ziyan immediately thought of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. These two departments are directly under the emperor, and courtiers have always suffered from them. Especially during Wei Zhongxian's period, officials all over the world mourned and trembled.

Such an institution should not exist!

Bi Ziyan hated such an organization from the bottom of his heart, looked at Zhu Xu, raised his hand, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the 'New Deal' is to sort out the bad policies of the past. Before the apocalypse, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were the ones who corrupted the Ming Dynasty. One of the main reasons is that the minister opposes the re-establishment!"

What Bi Ziyan said was extremely serious and firm.He has never fought hard with Zhu Xu before, this time, he wants to fight, even if it hurts Tianwei, the government, and the "New Deal", he will fight to the end!

As for personal gains and losses, he never cared about it.

—— Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, must never appear again!

Seeing Bi Ziyan's expression, Zhu Xu didn't know what to say.

This elder Bi Ge is still very obedient in many things, and he can also stabilize the government and promote various government affairs step by step, but occasionally, often, from time to time, some conservative thoughts and ideas that make Zhu Xu disgusted come up. Come.

"You have to take your time, don't rush..."

Zhu Xu comforted himself in his heart, looked at Bi Ziyan, and said with a normal expression: "I have no intention, and I don't plan to restore the East Factory. The 'Jianxie Division' is only a temporary means and will be abolished immediately. The Anti-Corruption Bureau is still a fifth-rank, full-time Anti-corruption, to ensure that officials of the imperial court and the whole world are honest and upright, and uphold justice, and not let internal supervisors fill in."

Bi Ziyan listened, thought carefully, still frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to put it in the cabinet. This will not only strengthen the authority of the cabinet, but also be more effective in promoting the 'New Deal'."

Zhu Xu shook his head, and said in a calm tone: "The cabinet must also be under the supervision of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Most of the courtiers before the apocalypse came from the cabinet. This situation cannot happen again. There is no need to discuss this matter. What the cabinet has to do now is It’s just to get rid of some tails as soon as possible, the new year is coming soon, after the new year, I will start my all-round reform of Ming Dynasty, and the cabinet must be ready!”

Bi Ziyan was very disturbed. He instinctively disapproved of organizations that were out of the control of the cabinet. He always felt that history would repeat itself.

But the emperor in front of him is not Apocalypse, and the opinions of the officials will not be listened to. Most importantly, he has far more control over the court than previous dynasties. Even if the cabinet unanimously opposes it, the independence of the Anti-Corruption Bureau will still proceed as usual, and it cannot be stopped at all!

Bi Ziyan's expression changed, his heart felt uncomfortable, as if a lump was stuck in his throat, he said for a while: "Your Majesty, who is in charge of this anti-corruption bureau?"

"Gong Dingzi." Zhu Xu said.He had planned on this matter for a long time, and the matter of Dingguo Duke's Mansion was just an introduction.

Bi Ziyan knew about this person, and he didn't have a very good reputation, but he was basically a nobody, just a candidate, and he didn't even have a Jinshi background.

Bi Ziyan felt relieved a lot, he still had to fight for it, and said: "Your Majesty, Gong Dingzi is also an old man from Donglin, and he was not born as a Jinshi, so he has a very bad reputation. I suggest changing someone."
