Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Well said! These two halls have placed high hopes on me, and they are indeed more important than ever!"

Sun Chuanting was under a lot of pressure from Zhu Xu, who was becoming more and more majestic, so he said in a disappointing juncture: "Your Majesty, the memorabilia about Shanxi's patrolling censor..."

Zhu Xu glanced at him, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Chapter 1084 The Shock Before The Storm

Seeing Zhu Xu's expression, Sun Chuanting's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Liu Mingtao has gone through three dynasties and has a very good official reputation. Even if there is something wrong, please forgive me."

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chuanting with an inexplicable expression, and then said: "The Holy Emperor is above, and my minister Liu Mingtao bowed his head and was ordered by the king to be the governor of Shanyou. Goodwill, never closing the doors at night, the diligence of the prefectures and counties, day and night, the respectfulness of the right side of the mountain, the perfect fit...everything can be achieved, the people of Wenchang are kind, and the things are rich and heavenly treasure..."

Sun Chuanting's face froze when he heard the first sentence, and his eyes became unnatural when he heard the following sentence, his face was extremely stiff.

He knew very well that since Zhu Xu ascended the throne, he has hated the melodramatic, nonsense, and circling in the playbook. It has been a long time since he saw the beginning of this kind of "the Holy Emperor is above, so-and-so bows his head".This Liu Mingtao not only wrote a long-winded essay, but there is no actual situation at all. On the contrary, he is singing praises and whitewashing peace!

Now who doesn't know the situation of Daming, Shanxi can be so "prosperous"?Is this a prosperous age?Why is there a scene of singing and dancing, prosperity and prosperity, without any truth statement?

After reciting for a while, Zhu Xu couldn't carry it any longer. He broke down, looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "From the beginning to the end, all the people are safe and peaceful, and there is peace. Datong has been realized..."

Sun Chuanting's expression was too stiff, and his heart was very angry. Hearing Zhu Xu's words, he said bravely: "Your Majesty, this matter... the cabinet will definitely deal with it severely. Also, you will be punished severely!"

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, looked at the two halls in front of him, and said indifferently: "People outside always complain that I monopolize the power, and the cabinet is overwhelmed...You guys really haven't let them down... ..."

With such irony, Sun Chuanting's face was burning hot, and he raised his hand to worship there, and said: "I plead guilty on behalf of the cabinet, please punish the emperor!"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "You have already asked enough crimes. I have seen too many such strange things, but I don't want to see them again in the future. Tell me, how to avoid such things?"

Sun Chuanting remained motionless and said, "Returning to the emperor, the cabinet is following the imperial decree and plans to clean up the officialdom of all officials in the Ming Dynasty. It will take about three years to train and assess the integrity, ability, and conduct of officials in various yamen and departments. But those who are unqualified will be resigned! I assure the emperor that such things will never happen again!"

The cabinet has some "slack" thoughts on many government affairs assigned by Zhu Xu. Zhu Xu has to put enough pressure on it to force the cabinet to pay more attention.

These are considered leftover issues, Zhu Xu will not be too harsh on Sun Chuanting, waved his hand, and said: "Report this memorial to all officials. In addition, all newspapers such as Chaobao must publish it. You write a long comment yourself. .”

Sun Chuanting's expression was startled. In this way, Liu Mingtao might be famous in history.

After hesitating for a while, Sun Chuanting said: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Xu nodded, changed the subject, and said, "This year's summer grain production has been severely reduced. What do you think of autumn grain?"

Sun Chuanting adjusted his mood, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are trying to plant three-season rice, and sweet potatoes can now be planted for three seasons. If they can be widely promoted, the grain will definitely increase significantly. We are still observing. The minister estimates that this year's autumn grain will be around 800 million shi, or less, mainly due to the increase in tax-free land, even if the tax payment increases, it cannot be offset..."

Zhu Xu's face was as usual, he expected these things, and said: "Pay attention to observation, save the seeds, and if they are mature, we must spare no effort to promote them. Others such as soybeans, corn, etc., can't give up. Seek needles, and any that can be planted All the places are planted, people can no longer starve to death, and they have to endure for many years, and they have to be fully prepared, and they can’t be wise after the fact. This kind of thing, I can’t help but regret it..."

"I understand." Sun Chuanting said solemnly.

Zhu Xu looked at the hall, silently counting the time.

It is now the second year of Jingzheng, the seventh year of Chongzhen in history, and it will take another ten years to cross the Little Ice River!

Ten years is too long!

Zhu Xu's heart was still heavy, as if seeing countless people crying in pain, struggling on the verge of starving to death.

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu's profile and said, "Your Majesty, the country's government is on the right track. Although everything is not worry-free, it is not enough to threaten the safety of the country. Your Majesty, please rest assured and don't worry too much."

All of Zhu Xu's close officials could see that Zhu Xu was eager to do things, worried about many things, and kept repeating to take precautions. Among them, the most worrying thing was the current natural disaster that did not subside, but became more severe.

In this case, Zhu Xu didn't listen once or twice, but what Zhu Xu has to do now is not only to survive this natural disaster, but also not to make Daming too weak, so that he can recover as soon as possible after the disaster.

Zhu Xu was silent for a while, and said: "In terms of government affairs, I don't worry too much. You are all my right-hand man. Although there are some flaws, they are not concealed. Although I am dissatisfied, I will not be too harsh. My Ming Dynasty is facing a millennium. When the situation changes, when the monarch and ministers are united, uphold the great unity, put aside small differences, and work together to move forward, for the common people of the Ming Dynasty, and the community of the Ming Dynasty, to create a bright future and future!"

Sun Chuanting looked at the emperor who seldom expressed his thoughts, his expression lifted, and he bowed solemnly: "The minister and the emperor have the same heart and one mind, and are willing to break my body and bones for my Ming Dynasty, and I will not hesitate!"

Zhu Xu made a "huh" sound, and said, "I will be able to move into this hall in half a month. You should make a plan and arrange it and show it to me. If you have nothing else to do, go back."

"Observe the order!" Sun Chuanting raised his hand and responded.

Zhu Xu looked at the two main halls not far in front of him, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

As soon as Sun Chuanting left, the Supervisor of Rites transferred Liu Mingtao's memorabilia to the cabinet, and there were eight red words written by Zhu Xu on it: A dog with a wolf's heart is not as good as a pig or a dog!

Sun Chuanting looked at the eight batches and became more and more annoyed, so he asked someone to engrave them and spread them to the six ministries and other departments.

Zhang Wenda, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments who was still in the capital, looked at this very familiar, natural, and normal memorial to the past, and his expression was quite emotional.

Liao Changyong also had a copy in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "My lord, this Liu Mingtao is used to flattering, and he is always in a hurry, but he didn't know that flattering is what the emperor hates the most. This time, he broke himself."

Zhang Wenda's mind was quite complicated, he shook his head and sighed: "This matter must be a storm, there will be an edict from the cabinet soon, and the prison department must be prepared."

Liao Changyong nodded, what Liu Mingtao did was too muddled and a jerk, I don't know how many people will be involved, there must be a cross wind sweeping across the court, and I don't know how many official hats will be swept away.

The special issue of Chaobao was issued quickly, which attracted countless jokes among the people. I don't know how many people are laughing at this Liu Yushi, and there are countless rumors and names in the market.

"The censor, the censor, encountered falsehoods", "the police patrol, and found no evidence"... "The censor of the pen official", "the censor of the prosperous age". "Talking Royal History"...

The government and the opposition do not know how many people have been humiliated and joined together, and they have drawn a clear line, and everyone denounced them.

The most embarrassing thing is the Shanxi governor's yamen. Liu Mingtao's memorial seems to have nothing to do with them, but who would believe it?The whole world now thinks that Shanxi bribed Liu Mingtao to make him write such a eulogy, which has no actual memorial.

Shanxi was too close to the capital, and the decree was issued day and night. The officials in Shanxi were shocked, and the governor's office was in chaos.

The first one is the plea book, signed by as many as 71 people from all over Shanxi, and the other is Shanxi's "New Deal" diary, which was sent to the capital at a fast pace with clear clarity.

Before this memorial book entered the Rites Supervisor, Feige Chuanshu had already flown all over the surrounding provinces.

Whether it was the censor, the governor's yamen or the local yamen's methods, they were all quickly overthrown, and the memorials that had been sent to the capital were recovered at twice the speed!

This storm, which has not yet begun, has already shaken the world.

Chapter 1085 Breeze Movement

The turmoil in Nanzhili is still burning. This time, the imperial court enclosed the whole of Nanzhili within the scope of the ban, which aroused the resistance of the gentry class in the whole of Nanzhili, or the scholars as a whole.

Fang Kongxuan, Lu Qin and others did not dare to cause trouble in Nanzhili again, angering Zhu Xu in Qianqing Palace, no one had any good fruit to eat.

In addition, Bi Ziyan has been sitting in the governor's office, and Nanzhili dare not slack off, suppressing all objections, insisting on the ban without hesitation, unwavering!

The "Liu Mingtao case" led by Sun Chuanting spread rapidly to Ying Tianfu.

Bi Ziyan was in the backyard of the governor's yamen, looking at the handwritten copy of Liu Mingtao's memorabilia sent by the cabinet eight hundred miles urgently, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink.

This kind of bastard memorabilia has actually appeared again, and it is still a censor who is valued by the imperial court, and it was given to the Qianqing Palace!

Not to mention Zhu Xu, even Bi Ziyan would be extremely angry when he saw it, wishing to kill this Liu Mingtao!

He was so confused that he couldn't be more confused. Did he keep his ears shut all the time? !

Fang Kongxuan, Xu Jie, and Feng Jiangfeng sat across from each other. Seeing Bi Ziyan's expression, they all held their breath and did not speak.
