Domineering Daming

Zhu Zonghan glanced at him, stepped forward, and said, "Miss Chen, have you made arrangements?"

"Yes, after the lord leaves, the villain will stun Miss Chen and personally send her back to Jiang Ning, but..." the guard didn't finish his sentence.

But Zhu Zonghan understood it, he was silent for a while, and said: "I probably won't survive if I go here, and she has to rely on herself for her way."

Zhu Zonghan calculated many things, but he didn't count Chen Rujiao, an infatuated woman. At the same time, he was also moved.

The guard responded and accompanied him out of the house, and Cheng Hei left separately.

The originally hot and unbearably hot night was filled with a silent chill that shrouded the sky over Jingdezhen.

Chen Rujiao, Liu Rushi, and Su Xi arrived in Jingdezhen earlier than Zhu Xu and the others, but they just rested in a nearby inn.

Chen Rujiao and Liu Rushi looked in the direction of Jingdezhen with different expressions and thoughts.

Suddenly, Chen Rujiao turned her head to look at Liu Rushi, and said with a smile like a flower: "Sister, I heard that there is a strange scene in Jingdezhen, that is, more than a dozen kilns are fired together at night, and it is as gorgeous as fire burning clouds, reflecting half of the sky, which is very strange. I can't sleep anyway, why don't we take a look together?"

Liu Rushi also noticed that the purpose of Chen Rujiao's trip was not simple, she didn't point it out, she was hiding endless thoughts, and said, "That's fine."

Chen Rujiao's smile became more and more beautiful, and she handed a package to Su Xi from the room, and told her to look after it.

So, the three packed up and saluted, left the inn overnight and rushed to Jingdezhen.

Not long after the three of them had left, a man in black sneaked in. After a careful inspection, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he whispered, "Okay!"

Quickly dug out and quickly chased north.

Bi Ziyan, Zhang Rongyu, a large and small Jingdezhen officials, and some large and small guards, a total of one hundred people stood outside the row, waiting quietly.

In summer, even in Jingdezhen, the sky is getting brighter, but it is still unbearably hot, and my heart is like a fire.

Bi Ziyan stood at the front, folded his hands, expressionless.

Behind him is Zhang Rongyu, this is the first time he saw Zhu Xu after he was expelled, his face was calm, but his hands kept shaking.

He knew very well the so-called "unpredictable heart". Who would have expected that, as the queen's uncle, acting as the father's lord, as a respected earl, he would be expelled if he said he was expelled?If it wasn't for the protection of a group of people and the face of the queen, this would be the only way to get out of the way.

This time he was called to Jingdezhen by the superiors, it was clear that the emperor wanted to see him, what was the matter?

The other officials, big and small, naturally have their own ideas and keep speculating.

Now that the court situation is dark and unclear, and the emperor went out of Beijing for a "summer escape" for the first time, what is hidden in it?

Hong Chengchou's cavalry appeared in the field of vision, unhurriedly, and quickly separated to meet the imperial guards.

The imperial guards separated again, and Zhu Xu's carriage slowly appeared in front of Bi Ziyan and the others.

Only then did Bi Ziyan's expression change, he straightened his clothes, bowed slightly, and waited for Zhu Xu to get off the carriage.

A group of people moved almost in the same way, holding their breath and staring at the carriage.

Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun were able to get on and off the carriage. They were all in ordinary clothes, and a few children came out from behind them and stood in front.

Bi Ziyan raised his hand, bowed his body, and said: "I see the emperor, my emperor is long live! See the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"

Before Bi Ziyan finished speaking, a large group of people followed behind him to worship, their voices were quite loud, and they were not at all tired from waiting here for two hours.

Zhu Xu raised his head to look at the sky, saw the exhausted look of a group of people, and said loudly, "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bi Ziyan and others responded loudly, got up, and parted the way for Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu got up from the carriage, looked around again, and said, "I'm here to escape the summer heat, so there's no need for such a big battle. Except for Mr. Bi Ge and President Zhang, everyone else has dispersed. By the way, officials at all levels in Jiangxi I don’t even need to see the driver, so I should do whatever I want.”

A group of people were stunned, they didn't expect such an arrangement at all, and they all looked at Bi Ziyan in the end.

Bi Ziyan bowed and said, "Observe the order."

The others quickly followed and said, "Observe the order."

Many people came with the intention of getting close to Zhu Xu, but they were inevitably disappointed, so they had to leave.

Cao Huachun and others welcomed Zhu Xu into Xingyuan, saying that it was Xingyuan, that is, the supervisor of ceremonies bought a large courtyard here with internal funds, repaired it a little, and arranged it as Zhu Xu's palace.

Zhang Yun and the children were surprised, Zhu Xu arranged for them to rest first, and brought Bi Ziyan and Zhang Rongyu into the side hall.

The three sat down, Zhu Xu had just taken a sip of tea, Bi Ziyan looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I suggest that Hong Chengchou be detained first, and this matter should be investigated strictly!"

Zhu Xu glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Hong Chengchou has done a great job in rescuing him, why should he be detained? Don't you worry about Hong Chengchou jumping over the wall in a hurry?"

Hong Chengchou has a problem, and now everyone knows it well.

Bi Ziyan said: "With the emperor here, Hong Chengchou doesn't have the guts. If he had, he would have done it before."

Zhang Rongju was terrified when he heard this. Hong Chengchou had 2000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and only [-] imperial guards.

He hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't dare to speak. He lowered his head, thinking about the outcome and possible consequences in his heart.

Zhu Xu shook his head and said: "Don't worry, just speak slowly. By the way, Mr. Bi Ge is waiting for me here, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zhang Rongxuan raised his head sharply and looked at Bi Ziyan with an awe-inspiring look.

Chapter 1275 Political Morality

The most important reason why the current court situation is turbulent and obscure is that Bi Ziyan, the pillar of the imperial court, is about to retire, and a series of things have also been triggered from this.

These things have not stopped until now, and many people are guessing that Bi Ziyan doesn't want to leave.If Bi Ziyan didn't want to leave, and the emperor wanted to drive him away, and the monarch and his ministers confront each other, one can imagine what a storm it would be and how many people would be involved!

Zhang Rongju raised his head and suddenly became alert, then lowered his head, feeling extremely flustered and waiting tremblingly.

Bi Ziyan didn't think so much as Zhang Rongxuan, his expression was calm as usual, he pondered for a moment, his tone was relaxed and natural, the same as discussing government affairs with Zhu Xu in Beijing, he said: "Your Majesty, I have traveled many places from north to south, and seen many things. , I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and many problems have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. If you don’t make up your mind to scrape the bones to cure the poison, you won’t be able to change anything. Therefore, I have been reflecting on the past policies recently..."

Zhu Xu listened quietly without interrupting.

Bi Ziyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued: "The minister also observed the commercial affairs, and the minister said that they are already very powerful. It is feasible to use commercial affairs to alleviate agricultural affairs, but in the future, we need to do enough. Adjustment, even prevention. Merchants seek profit, if they enter the court, they may affect the state affairs..."

Bi Ziyan talked about two major aspects, one is the old chronic diseases, and the other is the new forces.These two issues should be the core issues that plagued Ming Dynasty. When Bi Ziyan and Zhu Xu said these, they also expressed an attitude.

A peaceful attitude, he will not take action to block the new forces, and will transfer power smoothly.

This was Bi Ziyan's official statement, in front of Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu felt extremely relieved, looked at Bi Ziyan, and nodded slightly.

This old man is his right-hand man who has relied on him for many years and is his teacher.If he hadn't stabilized the court and dealt with all the big and small things these years, Daming would not have known what the chaos would have been like.

Perhaps Bi Ziyan has historical limitations, is stuck in his inherent cognition, and has a great distance from his ideas and expectations, but he has indeed devoted himself to Daming and contributed everything.

Daming is able to have today, Bi Ziyan's credit is second to none.
