Domineering Daming

"Yeah, I heard rumors that more than 3000 people will be executed and more than 1 people will be exiled..."

"This time the house raid was also very measured. There was no execution, the court must have done it deliberately to show mercy..."

"It's rare that the imperial court didn't start killing people. I hope that the imperial court will be lenient and don't continue to treat us scholars harshly..."

Yang Jingchen, Fang Kongxuan and others have been worrying all the time, closely observing the public opinion, and after hearing the report, a group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Jingchen finally smiled and said, "Qian Fu, this time, we can enter Beijing with peace of mind."

Qianfu is Fang Kongshao's character. He looked at Yang Jingchen with a rare sense of relief, and said with a smile, "You can breathe a sigh of relief, but when you arrive in the capital, you don't know the cabinet yet. How the emperor will play the board, you can't take it lightly..."

Speaking of this, Yang Jingchen's smile eased a little, and said: "Speaking of this, we must go to Beijing as soon as possible to find out some news. This time the court basically agreed to our disposal, which is not the emperor's style."

Fang Kongzheng listened, turned to look at Xu Jie, and said, "Master Xu, this matter concerns Jiangsu, so you should tell us something, right?"

Xu Jie used to be a secretary in the cabinet, Bi Ziyan's confidant, and half a student.

Xu Jie knew that he had always been a vigilant person in the Governor's Yamen. He pondered and said, "I received a letter from Mr. Bi Ge, which said that the emperor's attitude this time is a bit unexpected, and there may be other plans."

"Do you have any plans?" Yang Jingchen asked hastily.

Xu Jie shook his head and said: "The emperor's mind is always difficult to guess, and Mr. Bi Ge is also quite worried, so I hope we can do it thoroughly and neatly, and there will be some room for maneuver."

Yang Jingchen, Fang Kongxuan looked at Xu Jie, and remained silent for a while, Yang Jingchen said: "If there are not too many things to deal with the aftermath, I hope Master Xu can go to the capital together."

Xu Jie knew what Yang Jingchen meant, and said: "The lower official wrote a letter overnight, and I will ask the two adults to forward it to Elder Bi Ge. I believe it will be of some use."

Yang Jingchen and Xu Jie both smiled. After all, Xu Jie is from the governor's office in Jiangsu. In this way, they can get closer to Bi Ziyan and suffer less from being dumb.

The verdict of Dali Temple quickly spread throughout the city. Some were relaxed, some were disappointed, and naturally some were angry.

"I just guessed, the faint king, the imperial court does not dare to kill people. If they really start killing people, we will directly reverse!"

"Of course they don't dare, and they don't even think about who the entire Ming depends on to support them, just these 300 people... just wait, most of them will definitely be pardoned in various ways, let go secretly..."

"This time it was a failure, but there will definitely be a next time. We must set things right and pay back everything!"

"It's still a mistake this time. If we want to achieve our ambition, we have to find a way to enter the imperial court. We have to change our course and keep going step by step..."

"That's right, the sages of Donglin were right. Only the righteous and prosperous dynasty can help the country, return to the ancestral system, and make the world peaceful. I will be in the Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years..."

Chapter 1073

In the second year of Jingzheng, the first day of August.

Early in the morning, the sky was slightly bright and the breeze was blowing.

The adults of the outer court lined up neatly, waiting for the bell to ring in the palace.

There are five assistant ministers in the cabinet, six ministers, ministers, five local prime ministers, governors of Shaanxi and Jiangsu provinces, and more than 20 people. They are neatly arranged in two teams. Everyone is silent and has different expressions.

They all went to Beijing at least the night before, but after more than a day of inquiring, what they waited for was not any good news, but even more uneasy.

Bi Ziyan stood at the front with his hands tied, and Sun Chengzong was leading the way on the right. The two were expressionless and speechless.

Prince Jing, Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and the others stood quietly at the back, with their heads slightly lowered and their bodies bowed, completely unaware of what they were thinking.

The Golden Luan Hall, the most grand and solemn hall in the past, has not been opened for a long time. Since Zhu Xu ascended the throne, it has not been opened a few times in total.

This time, I'm afraid something big will happen again!

This is the common aspiration of everyone, no one is whispering to each other at this time, holding their breath and concentrating, orderly and full of thoughts.

At the same time, in Kunning Palace, Zhu Xu stretched out his arms. Zhang Yun and a group of maids were dressing him in a dragon robe, the most formal and complicated one. From the feet to the top of the head, every detail was exquisite to the best.

In the past, Zhu Xu was very tired of these things, so he could keep it simple, but now, the requirements are extremely high.

Zhang Yun knew that Zhu Xu always liked "simplicity", and was most annoyed by those cumbersome rituals and rituals. Seeing that he cared so much this time, he knew the importance of today's matter, so he paid more attention to it.

Cao Huachun stood not far away and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to draw up a manuscript?"

Cao Huachun vaguely knew what Zhu Xu was going to do, and was a little worried.Although the current court situation is not the same as it was seven or eight years ago, the adults in the outer court are still "old and stubborn" and will not compromise on some issues.

Zhu Xu's shoulders were sore, but he still held it there, and said with an unchanged expression: "There is nothing to prepare, just talk about whatever comes to mind, and I will organize it later. This time, I will tear a piece of paper in their heads. gap!"

Although Cao Huachun knew it vaguely, he couldn't figure out what Zhu Xu was going to do. After listening to his words, he half understood, so he didn't continue to ask.

Zhu Xu felt that he was about to get dressed, so he said to Zhang Yun: "Bumubutai is leaving Beijing soon, you can send it off when the time comes, and Ci Yi will take care of it first, if you have any problems, go to Hai Lanzhu. "

Zhang Yun fastened Zhu Xu's buttons one by one, and said, "Yes, I understand that Ci Yi is very obedient, but I didn't worry about it."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, Zhang Yun knew the general situation, and knew how to measure, so he didn't need to say more.

The dull and heavy bells sounded again outside the palace, Cao Huachun heard three times and said: "Your Majesty, it's almost time."

Zhu Xu glanced outside, squinted his eyes, his eyes seemed to glow deeply, and said in a slightly erratic voice: "Okay, let's go."

"Yes."

Cao Huachun ordered people to drive, and the new commander of the imperial army, Wang Yizhou, guarded Zhu Xu's right side, followed by a group of majestic imperial guards, and went straight to the Huangji Hall.

Jinluan Hall is a common name, originally named Fengtian Temple, and changed to Huangji Hall during the Jiajing period.

Inside the Jinluan Hall, the civil and military sub-stations on both sides of the main hall, you can hear the needle drop, waiting silently.

"The Emperor is here!"

Cao Huachun's sharp voice suddenly sounded from the door on the left, and then Zhu Xu strode forward and walked straight to the dragon chair.

"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and more than 20 people saluted together.

Zhu Xu was dressed in a dragon robe and looked more serious than ever. He stood inside the imperial table, looked around the hall, and said with a smile, "My loves...he is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." These high-ranking officials of Daming stood up with all the courtesy.

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chair, looked down at the group of people from a high position, and said quite happily: "I have never liked sitting so high, I feel that there is a distance between you and your lovers, and you have to speak so loudly. Wait for the cabinet to be built." When it's over, we can go there, we don't need to be so far apart."

Bi Ziyan looked at Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin standing on both sides of Zhu Xu, especially Wang Yizhou who was still standing not far from the imperial table, his heart sank.

What Zhu Xu said was unnutritious nonsense, and it was impossible for people to answer, so his voice fell, and there was no surprise.

Zhu Xu didn't feel embarrassed at all, took a sip of tea, and said, "Let's talk about the business, uncle, what's the situation in the six provinces of Shaanxi and Sichuan?"

Now there is no one in the court who is unaware of the situation, Fu Changzong came out, raised his hand and said: "Returning to the emperor, on the surface, it seems that the big gentry are dissatisfied with the court's 'New Deal' and want to blackmail the court. The rebellion and rebels have been plotting for a long time, carefully planned, against the emperor, against the imperial court, in an attempt to overthrow the country and harm the common people. From ordinary people, merchants, scholars, wealthy gentry, to government officials, it mainly occurred in Shaanxi and Sichuan The area around the border is remote and sparsely populated, and the government cannot fully control it. It has basically been calmed down, and there is no major problem for the time being..."

Zhu Xu looked satisfied, turned his gaze to Yang Jingchen, and said, "Where's Jiangsu?"
