Domineering Daming

"Eight!"

Qi Zhi raised his hand, looked at the door with stern eyes, and counted down loudly.

There seemed to be another angry sound from inside the door, and there was also the sound of teacups clashing, short and urgent.

But still no one came out.

"three!"

"two!"

When Qi Zhi said this, his voice suddenly became louder, and his eyes became colder.The businessman is unusual, with a deep foundation in Nanchang Mansion. He found out that there are dozens of powerful family members in this compound, and many of them are desperadoes who are wanted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

But if it is really a last resort, George will not hesitate at all!

"one!"

Qi Zhi's heart sank slightly, and just as he was about to say "Chong" after shouting, the dark door suddenly opened with a creak, and an old wolf, Gu Yuan, stared at Qi Zhi, and walked out slowly.

Then, the second, and the third, walked out one by one, a total of eight old men, all of whom were in charge of the business.

Qi Zhi felt relieved, with a smile on his face.As long as they are willing to come out, they will be bloodless today.

On the other side, there are people from the Governor's Mansion. Under the leadership of the directors of the Department of Penalty and Prison, they went to various houses and courts. They arrested scattered people. Compared with "small families and small households", their arrests were all strange. Some directly resisted and were knocked down to the ground and dragged away, some cried and regretted begging for mercy, some even threatened to commit suicide, some even held up ancestral tablets to prevent officers and soldiers from passing, and some of them got wind in advance and brought Gold and silver are delicate, and the escape of beautiful wives and concubines is eventually stopped.

In less than half a day, the prisons of the Criminal and Prison Department of Nanchang Mansion, the Supervisory Yuan, and Dali Temple were all full, and a temporary detention place had to be opened.

At the same time, the Criminal and Prison Department operated efficiently, constantly sorting out the case, and asked to be heard in Dali Temple as soon as possible, in order to quickly settle these matters, block the mouth of the outside world, and prevent the further expansion of the situation.

Even so, there was panic in Nanchang Mansion, and even the whole of Jiangxi. I don’t know how many people fled and hid at home, and countless officials from the government and the opposition made their performances one after another. Some were impeaching King Jing and Fan Yiheng; Too intense and counterproductive; what is more is to ask King Jing to stop immediately and eliminate the boiling grievances among the people to show the court's benevolence.

These memorabilia have not yet arrived in the palace, and Jiangxi moved more quickly. There are more than 300 officials of all sizes, 140 people who were executed, and 120 people who were guarded on the border. The others were imprisoned or exiled for five to twenty years. It can be said that Yes, an unprecedented heavy punishment!

Those gentry who did evil and bullied one side were powerful, executed as many as 200 people, and exiled more than 400 people. Others such as confiscating their property and assigning them to hard labor are countless.

This public trial by Dali Temple, although the summary procedure was used, was open, fast, and decisive, it still took nearly a month. It was not until mid-May that Prince Jing reluctantly concluded the trial and set off for Beijing.

If so, Jiangxi and even the whole of Ming Dynasty were very noisy, and there were a lot of discussions. I don't know how many people were frightened and restless, and couldn't sleep all night.

Just when King Jing was about to leave the governor's office in Jiangxi, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the street, holding up a huge plaque, and shouting loudly: "The sage king is in the hall, and the world is safe and healthy!"

"When the virtuous king is in the hall, the world is safe and healthy!"

"When the virtuous king is in the hall, the world is safe and healthy!"

There were hundreds of people, watching King Jing who came out, dressed as plainly as an ordinary half-century old man, they all shouted, holding the sign high, and walked forward.

Prince Jing stood on the steps, looked at the group of people, turned his head to look at Fan Yiheng and the others, frowned and said, "You didn't arrange these, did you?"

Fan Yiheng shook his head, and then said with a smile: "I don't have any. These are the people who came here spontaneously, presumably because of the prince's thunderous means, they got rid of their villains and gave them a new chance to survive. I'm here to thank you."

King Jing inspected it for a few moments, turned his head, and with a smile on his face, stepped forward to greet him, waved away the guards quietly, took the plaque, and humbly said the words "I don't dare to do it" and "It's within my duty", then with a high voice, towards The common people promised that the imperial court's anti-corruption campaign against local tyrants and evil gentry will not stop, but will continue to deepen. The emperor, the imperial court always regards the common people as the most fundamental pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and will never let the common people suffer, let down and so on.

Fan Yiheng and the others were a little stunned to see King Jing spitting and talking, and then remembered that this scene was somewhat familiar, and it seemed to be something that sages in Beijing often do.

"Sure enough, he is the emperor's confidant." Some people felt that what Prince Jing did was clearly a kind of imitation, or a kind of invitation for credit.

The common people were naturally grateful and gave Prince Jing a lot of special products such as eggs.

King Jing firmly refused to accept it, and pulled Fan Yiheng and others over, forcing them to make a promise in public.

Naturally, Fan Yiheng did not miss the opportunity, and stated that the anti-corruption campaign would continue, and that he would not tolerate corrupt officials.And announced a series of important measures, and also expressed a firm attitude towards the "New Deal", and will continue to promote it, so that the general public can have land, clothes, children to go to school, and a better future worth looking forward to !

Fan Yiheng may have been working in the local area, his speech level was not as "smart" as King Jing, but he was more down-to-earth.

King Jing and Fan Yiheng's performance naturally fell in the eyes of those who cared, but in this situation, they had no choice but to curse "faint officials" in their hearts, and they didn't even dare to show their faces.

King Jing returned to Beijing amidst praises. Although the cabinet had some criticisms, overall, he did a good job. The authority of the Governor's Council was quickly elevated, and Prince Jing's status in the cabinet became silently important.

Not to mention Wang Qiaonian's Dali Temple, any trial is led by him, there are not many major cases, and the Dali Temple is rising. Wang Qiaonian, the fourth court elder who has been promoted by a rocket, has a shallow foundation, and his position is becoming more and more stable.

The cabinet hall, third floor, Zhu Xu's classroom.

Qi Qi, the six ministers of the cabinet, stood in front of Zhu Xu's imperial table, reporting recent events one by one.

It is almost the end of May now, and the summer harvest is coming, and it is another busy time of the year.

What Bi Ziyan said was all about taxes and expenditures this year, and he vowed to further reduce expenditure.

What Sun Chengzong was talking about was the "military reform". For more than a year, initial results have been achieved. The next step is to further advance. Sun Chengzong plans to go to Beijing again in the second half of the year.

Prince Jing was talking about the arrangements of the Governor's Council, and his tone was very grand, with a sharpness that was not there before.After a trip to Jiangxi, everyone realized that the Governor's Council is powerful, silently permeating in all aspects, and has clear authority. It is too easy for this department to move anyone!

What Wang Qiaonian was talking about was Dali Temple. Dali Temple started slowly, and there were traditional yamen struggles for power in the local area. Coupled with deep-rooted ideology, Dali Temple was still struggling in the local area, and there were many obstacles to its development.

What Sun Chuanting said was roughly the situation of some departments directly under the cabinet. These departments have achieved considerable development, especially the Guomao Temple, which has loosened the restrictions imposed by Bi Ziyan, and its profitability has been greatly restored.

Fu Changzong talked more about the situation outside the capital, especially the earthquake in Shanchuan. He believed that not only the court was in difficulty, but the place was even more difficult. It was necessary to cooperate with the local "sincerity" in order to safely deal with the disaster, and to do a good job after the disaster. Intend.

Zhu Xu has been listening silently, they didn't have a long speech, but concise and to the point.

On Zhu Xu's desk were their playbooks. He listened and read them, nodding from time to time.These grown-ups have already shouldered the big responsibilities and don't need to stare at them all the time like before.

After listening, Zhu Xu didn't say much, and said directly: "Well, let's go to the parliament for a while and discuss it carefully. By the way, your staff should also be put in the parliament now. Set up a department and give them an official status. If you do well in the future, let it go out, I want people to make the best use of their talents and things, try to relax some requirements, don't be so rigid..."

Before Zhu Xu finished speaking, Cao Huachun came in from the outside, stood by the door, and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Bianjiao's army has arrived."

Chapter 1164

Zhu Xu nodded at Cao Huachun, looked at Bi Ziyan and the others, and said, "Well, I know exactly what you said. Don't make individual policies, but look at them from an overall perspective. There can be differences, but they must be Let’s play a game of chess. We need to learn a lesson about Jiangxi’s affairs. I have already received hundreds of impeachment transcripts. Why? I still don’t know enough. Except for a few provinces who stood up and shouted anti-corruption, other provinces remained silent. The Qingfeng Movement It is still not enough, we need to increase our efforts, all departments must give full play to the influence of power, we must let the officials of my Ming Dynasty have a unified mind, and must be consistent with the court and with me. It is still the same sentence, first change the mind and then change people, not Change your mind, change your head!"

At the end of Zhu Xu's words, there was a murderous look, Bi Ziyan and others raised their hands together and said: "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Let Cao Bianjiao come in."

Bi Ziyan and the others looked at each other and retreated together.

Cao Bianjiao and He Xilian came in together, knelt down on one knee in front of the imperial table, and said: "My minister Cao Bianjiao (He Xilian) sees the emperor."

The two still had armor on their bodies, and every move made a clicking sound, and their movements were uniform.

Zhu Xu looked at the two, nodded with a smile, and said, "Pingshen, tell me about the Wa Kingdom."

Cao Bian got up and said: "Go back to the emperor, the Japanese side has signed a treaty, and the Japanese emperor's vassal document will arrive soon, and the tribute has also been shipped."

He Xilian said: "Your Majesty, judging from the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, Japan is tight inside and loose outside. Jiuguo Island has quietly gathered troops and is stepping up training. The pressure on Shimabara has not been relieved. There is a lot of shock in Edo, it seems The navy is being prepared. The ministers and others believe that the Japanese country has evil intentions, so it shouldn't wait too long."

At this point, Zhu Xu was not surprised. Looking at the two of them, his eyes were quiet for a while, and he said with a smile: "This has been expected for a long time. The mine on Jiuguo Island will be buried, and it will be suppressed by the country of Wa. , can’t let them explode.”
