Domineering Daming

Wu Huan immediately closed the door, sat on a chair, thought for a while, changed into night clothes, and left quietly through the back door.

No one here, not even Fu Tao, knew that this Wu Huan was from Jinyiwei!

With the Royal Bank overcoming the crisis, this sudden storm has come to an end in Daming.

But the terrible follow-up effects that came from this made countless people panic and sleepless.

Yingtian Mansion and all around the government and opposition officials, big families, rich families, and gentry were frightened and frightened. Some people fled with their families overnight, and even some people committed suicide!

The governor's yamen is brightly lit.

There are not many people. There are only eight people in total, the Governor of the Governor's Yamen, the Second Political Consultant, the Senate, the Governor's Council, the Dali Temple, and the Governor of the Governor's Mansion.

Vice President Wang Beicheng of the Governor's Council, his face was dark and difficult to understand, he frowned, and said: "This matter... Your Majesty, the imperial court must be furious. I heard that there are also shadows of them in Shaanxi. From this point of view, there is absolutely no Room for peace!"

Lu Qin was the new governor of Jiangsu. He sat there, listening quietly, motionless, but he had an aura of immobility, which gave people considerable pressure.

Xu Jie sat at the bottom left of Fang Kongzhang, thinking: "This matter will definitely not be good. The question is, should we take action in Jiangsu first, or wait for the emperor's order?"

Feng Jiangfeng raised his brows, his eyes were like knives, and he said coldly: "Of course we will do it first. When the imperial envoy arrives, not to mention that the gangsters have already run away, we are afraid that we will be the first ones when it comes to guilt!"

The corners of Xu Jie's mouth twitched, and he said, "If we move first, how should we move? The list obtained from various places has been verified and deleted as many as a thousand people. They are all gentry from one side and are well-known in the village. Such a large scale is very easy to do. It caused panic among the people and turmoil among the people..."

Feng Jiangfeng's tone was decisive, and he said sternly: "The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze is blowing again. We must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots! My Ming Dynasty's 'New Deal' is already at the most critical moment, and I must not give anyone a chance to obstruct or interrupt it! My lord, Your Majesty! Suggestion, use thunderous means, those who should be beheaded will not be lenient, and those who are not enough will be exiled to the two provinces of the South China Sea, I would like to see who else dares to continue to confront the imperial court and unscrupulously bully the emperor and harm the country!"

Xu Jie frowned, glanced at him, and said: "Nanzhili is the place where my money and food are important, and more than half of it is due to this. If the people's livelihood declines, morale is low, and money and food drop sharply, how can I explain to the emperor and the court?"

When Xu Jie said this, everyone frowned.

This is the crux of the problem. In their view, Zhu Xu came to Nanzhili last year to frighten him with a big show of martial arts, but he did not start killing because of this concern.

If Nanzhili is depressed and cannot pay enough money—the treasury will be ruined, and the whole Ming Dynasty will be in danger!

Feng Jiangfeng couldn't refute it. Indeed, Nanzhili must not be chaotic, and there must be no problem with taxes!

Everyone was speechless by Xu Jie's words. If they moved, it would cause great negative consequences, and they couldn't bear it.If they don't move, the court will blame them, and they can't afford it.

In such a difficult situation, their eyes turned to Fang Kongxuan who was sitting on the top.

As the governor of Jiangsu, Fang Kongzheng naturally had his considerations, and he roughly understood it. He sat upright, pondered, his eyes were cold, and said: "We in Jiangsu must have a firm attitude towards this matter! Those who should be punished must Don't be soft, but that's not the goal. Learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones, and save people from diseases. In this way, the Governor's Council will act overnight to see who can be saved. If they can be saved, they will be asked to publish their thoughts in the newspaper tomorrow to clarify their thoughts and express their views in public. Take practical actions! Others, who are obscure, double-faced, and have ulterior motives, will all be arrested by the Criminal and Prison Department, brought to court in Dali Temple, and publicly tried! All leaders will be executed, and if they are not enough, the whole family will be exiled. If it is not enough, the family property will be confiscated, exiled to Qiongzhou, and then sent to North Annan to reclaim wasteland, and they will not be allowed to return for ten years..."

Fang Kongzheng's words were full of murderous intent, and there was no room for compromise.

Xu Jie opened his mouth to speak, hesitated, but still didn't speak.

This is already the best result. If those people don't change their ways honestly, they will kill more people!However, according to his understanding, in the future, there will be countless people in Nanzhili who are loyal to the court and the emperor. They will be the vanguard of the "New Deal" and the pioneers of all difficulties and obstacles!

But, would the emperor be satisfied with such a disposition?

Chapter 1069 Zhu Xu's Unexpected Reaction

When Nanzhili moved quickly, Shanchuan and other places were casting nets to suppress bandits.

The civil unrest in Shaanxi and Sichuan has never stopped, but it is so organized. It is the first time that the [-]th Route princes have become kings and hegemony. Progressively, at a lightning speed, the so-called eighteenth princes were wiped out.

From the beginning to the end, these riots did not last for half a month, but the number of rioters arrested was as high as 5!

If you add the collapse, discussion, and death, the number may be [-] to [-]!

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face for the now more sparsely populated Shanchuan land, which made Qin Liangyu and others have a better understanding of the Shanchuan land and became more sober.

The affairs of various places were naturally transmitted to the capital immediately, and the government and the public were shaken abnormally. Officials from the six departments and nine temples ran to the cabinet almost continuously, and the memorials flew to the cabinet and the supervisor of rituals like snow.

This incident is shocking, the mind of the Qianqing Palace has always been unpredictable, if the fury of thunder falls, who knows who will be unlucky, and what a storm will be caused in the entire Ming Dynasty!

Five days later, Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Xu sat on the rug, and in front of him were four little guys, namely his eldest daughter Zhu Shuxian, eldest son Zhu Ciye, second son Zhu Cixuan, and third son Zhu Ciyi.

Among the four little ones, Zhu Ciye and Zhu Shuxian are twins, born to Li Jieyu, who is almost nine months old, Zhu Cixuan is the son of Hai Lanzhu, and Zhu Ciyi is born to Bumbutai, who is now five or six months old.

Zhu Ciye was chubby and quite quiet, sitting between Zhu Xu's legs, blinking and looking at the other side.

Zhu Shuxian seemed restless, crawling around all the time, her mouth was still vague from time to time, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Cixuan, Zhu Ciyi is still young, lying next to Zhu Xu, either waving his hands and feet, or licking his fingers, his big eyes are piercing, looking at Zhu Xu from time to time, very cute.

Holding a small bowl in his hand, Zhu Xu fed them one by one. He was extremely busy.

Not far from his left, Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu, Bumbutai, etc. were all standing quietly, watching Zhu Xu feed the children, all reserved and polite, with cautious expressions.

In the oblique direction of Zhu Xuruantan's right hand, the five assistant ministers, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, Jing Wang, Wang Qiaonian, and Sun Chuanting were all kneeling on the ground, everyone looked solemn and trembling, and they didn't feel the warmth of Ruantao not far away. less than.

Zhu Xu fed for a while, wiped the faces of the little ones, and said indifferently, "How do you say?"

Bi Ziyan stood up straight, held up the memorial and said: "Return to the emperor, regarding the six provinces including Shaanxi and Sichuan, the ministers and others plan to implement stricter means of governance, and increase immigration. 400 million people will be removed within this year to ensure this It won't happen again! Nanzhili...the ministers and others believe that in troubled times, heavy codes are used. For those who participated in the rebellion this time, the leader of the bandit will be executed, and all the rest will be ransacked and exiled in the South China Sea. They will not return for life..."

Zhu Xu picked up little Ciye and put it on his lap, looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill you, that's why you are so harsh?"

Bi Ziyan's expression changed, and he said: "The ministers think that this time, they made too much trouble and cannot continue to be tolerant. Let us learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, and be alert to the world!"

Although Bi Ziyan said so, Sun Chengzong, who was kneeling behind him, had serious eyes. He rushed back from Jiangxi in an emergency, and returned to Beijing with such a major matter as the "military reform". Isn't that enough to explain the seriousness of the matter?

What's more, since Zhu Xu ascended the throne, when did the five ministers need to kneel down here to worship him?

Zhu Xu hugged the crawling little Shuxian between his knees, with a very calm expression, and said: "Since you say so, I will believe it. You can figure out the specific matters, and I won't ask. By the way , To reward those who performed well in this response, they should be greatly rewarded, and they can be promoted exceptionally. My Ming Dynasty does not lack talents, but it lacks the eyes to discover talents."

Bi Ziyan looked up at Zhu Xu, feeling more uneasy, and his eyes became more serious.The current person rarely shows his emotions, and often acts unexpectedly. Under such a big matter, can he really be so calm?

Bi Ziyan knelt down again, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I plead guilty. For the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, this minister insists on treating them favorably, so that he tolerates traitors and raises traitors. The whole country is in danger. The crime should be punished. Please the emperor cut off his official position. Sent to prison!"

Zhu Xu hugged the two children, resting his chin with one hand, and looked at him calmly.

Not far away, Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu and others held their breaths and quietly looked at Zhu Xu.

Although they don't participate in government affairs, they are also very clear that the current "New Deal" of Ming Dynasty has reached a critical period, and any change may lead to unexpected consequences, so they need to be cautious in everything.

This elder Bi Ge is the person who knows the most about the "New Deal" and contributes the most. In today's world, his prestige is also the highest. If he "goes to prison", not to mention the influence, who can take over his position as "chief assistant"?

Sun Chengzong is in charge of military affairs, and the military and government are separated. He cannot be the "chief assistant". King Jing and Wang Qiaonian are custom-made and cannot be promoted. The only assistant minister, Sun Chuanting, has only joined the cabinet not long ago.

Although Zhu Xu was a little surprised by Bi Ziyan's move, he could understand it. Holding the two children in his arms, he ignored what he said just now, and said, "I have been ill for a long time in Ming Dynasty, and everyone knows that I have been working hard in the system for these years. The reform ignores the ideological aspects... I plan to carry out ideological rectification of my Ming Dynasty, and I have made some preparations in the early years. Some new books compiled, supplementary annotations to the classics of sages, and some new information on the current development of my Ming Dynasty, I also have some ideas, new viewpoints, and I intend to find an opportunity to share them with you all, so what do you think is the most suitable time?"

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and the others knelt there, hearing Zhu Xu jump off the topic, they couldn't help frowning, and quickly followed what he said.

There are four or five pavilions in the palace, and the ministers know about it, but they don't understand, what does this "ideological order" really mean?

Before they could speak, Zhu Xu said directly: "On the first day of August, the five prime ministers, the governor of Jiangsu, and the governor of Shaanxi will come to Beijing. I want to have a good talk with them. As for other matters, your cabinet will deal with them." .”
