Domineering Daming

Cao Huachun said: "Follow the order."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and continued to read his playbook.

Zhu Xu's life here is quite leisurely. He has delegated a lot of power to the cabinet, or in other words, next year's Sun Chuanting.

He didn't read a lot of playbooks, and most of the time he was relatively leisurely, watching Zou Ben, playing around with a few children, that's basically it.

Three days later, Zhu Xu met with Dorgon again, and he officially accepted his proposal. Daming will take over Nan Annan and form a complete Annan Province.As for Dorgon killing his wife and sending his heirs to the capital as hostages, Zhu Xu readily agreed.

Zhu Xu specially sent ten guards to escort Dorgon back to Nan'an.

"He's going back all the way, and he probably won't arrive until September." Zhu Xu laughed, feeling very comfortable.

Cao Huachun watched Dorgon leave, and suddenly said: "Mr. Sun Ge has left Sichuan for Yunnan, and the governor of Qin requested an order to come to Xingyuan to meet the emperor."

Chapter 1289 The troubles of happiness

Qin Liangyu is carrying out a large-scale suppression operation in Shanchuan, so it stands to reason that he cannot leave easily.

But Sun Chengzong brought Zhu Xu's intentions, as if nothing was important anymore, she had to see Zhu Xu.

Fengxiang Mansion, Qin Liangyu's temporary camp.

Qin Liangyu's suppression operation was prepared for many years, and more than 20 troops were mobilized. The momentum was huge, and it was indeed overwhelming, with fruitful results.

Although the front line is still in full swing, the camp has come to a halt.

The night was as cool as water, and there was a breeze, blowing the flags and rustling, as if someone was whispering.

Qin Liangyu was wearing clothes, and walked slowly in an open space in Daying. She was almost seventy years old, and her face was full of signs of time. The mighty and fierce female general in the daytime, now frowns tightly, and her thoughts are covered with wrinkles.

Ma Xianglin came up from behind, holding a bottle of warm water in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Mom, drink some water."

Qin Liangyu turned to look at him, took the bottle, and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Zhang Fengyi looked at Qin Liangyu and said, "Is mother worrying about Sun Ge's words?"

Facing his son and daughter-in-law, Qin Liangyu had nothing to hide, and said: "Mr. Sun Ge told me that the emperor intends to let me succeed Mr. Sun Ge as Marshal of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and take charge of the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty."

Ma Xianglin was puzzled, and said: "Mother, isn't this a good thing? Besides, the emperor has always trusted his mother, so it shouldn't be a bad thing."

Qin Liangyu took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "Since ancient times, have women entered the court? What's more, the Marshal of the Marshal's Mansion must also serve as the right assistant of the cabinet."

Qin Liangyu seemed to have only spoken half of what he said, but Ma Xianglin was already shuddering, and his expression changed.

That's right, the Ming court has always been strict, how could it be possible to allow a woman to enter the palace and ride on the heads of the men in the world?

Not to mention that his mother hasn't entered Beijing yet, as long as the news gets out, a wave of impeachment no less than a "national struggle" will start vigorously!

Zhang Fengyi knew the danger. Even with the emperor's support, the final pricing result might be that the Ma family was torn to pieces. She said with a calm face, "Mother, we can't agree to this matter, and we can't bear the consequences!"

Ma Xianglin woke up suddenly, and said: "Mother, you must not agree, otherwise those people in the government and the opposition will not let us go..."

Qin Liangyu didn't speak, and quietly looked at the stars above his head.

She is deeply indebted to the emperor and has a lot of trust. Now that the emperor encounters difficulties and needs him to solve problems, is she going to back down?

Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi knew that Qin Liangyu was distressed, so they didn't dare to persuade them any more. They thought about finding more people when they went back, and had a long-term plan.

At the same time, Bi Ziyan left Xi'an Mansion and returned to the capital.

Bi Ziyan has been out of Beijing for half a year, and he has seen Daming inside and out, and he is about to leave office. He has many thoughts in his heart, but he is extremely calm.

He has staff by his side, reporting to him the situation in Beijing.

"The elders of the pavilion are basically not in Beijing. Only Elder Fu is in charge. Elder Sun Baigu is in Liaodong. It seems that he is preparing for something. He is ordered by the emperor to go there. He will not return to Beijing for a while."

"Old Wang Ge should be in Nanzhili now. He is vigorously promoting the in-depth reform of Dali Temple, but basically he is just scratching the surface. Obviously he is trying to show the face with a little bit, and he is waiting for Sun Chuanting to take office."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing should be in Shanxi. The Governor's Council is a bit vain. It seems to have power, but in fact it doesn't have the power to do so. Prince Jing has been very annoyed in recent years and is constantly putting pressure on him, wanting to push the Governor's Council to the government level... "

"Mr. Sun Ge has gone to Yunnan now. He is looking for Cao Wenzhao. I heard that he talked with Qin Liangyu for two days, but no one knows what they talked about. Mr. Sun Ge has no intention of reporting to the cabinet and the commander's office. ..."

"In the capital, there have been a lot of things recently. The first one is summer grain. This year's summer grain has decreased by 60 shi, and tax money has increased by 300 million taels. Mr. Fu Ge has asked the Ministry of Households to investigate the root cause..."

"The second thing is about the imperial examination. This year, the Ministry of Officials plans to expand the number of admissions on a large scale. There may be 1000 people, and the same and grants will be cancelled. Except for the first grade, all will be awarded Jinshi, and no ranking will be given. But the specific operation, Elder Fu Ge has been asking the Ministry to discuss, but has not yet made a final decision, and seems to be waiting for you to return to Beijing..."

"The third thing is that next year there will be many high-ranking officials above the third rank, including governors from all over the country, who will reach the age limit. Mr. Fu Ge is deliberating and deciding whether they will stay or not. Sun Baigu will handle it..."

"The fourth thing is that the Shenlong Mansion is about to hold the third World Trade Fair. It has been informed to government officials, including your lord, and the emperor. It is rumored that the number of participants this time may exceed 500 people, both inside and outside the Ming Dynasty. The amount will exceed [-] million taels of silver, this is the first time they have done this, and the government and the public are quite uneasy..."

"..."

What the aides are talking about are basically internal affairs related matters, which are related to all aspects of Ming Dynasty and cannot be underestimated.

Bi Ziyan listened silently, many things needed to be dealt with by him, which could be regarded as the end of the "New Deal" for him or this stage, and must be done.

There are also some, which are obviously reserved for Sun Baigu, for him to establish his prestige and serve Sun Baigu's "New Deal".

Bi Ziyan didn't know whether it was because he was really old, or because he had traveled all the way, but he rarely felt a little tired, his face was tired, and his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't open them.

"Do you think Sun Chuanting can control the situation?" Bi Ziyan asked calmly.

The staff knew that the outgoing boss was full of worries about the upcoming changes, and was very uneasy about the future of Daming.

He bowed, smiled and said with relief: "Sun Baigu is not the key, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than when the emperor ascended the throne. With the emperor, no matter how chaotic the court situation is, Daming will not be chaotic."

Bi Ziyan was silent for a while, he did not speak, because he knew that the current Daming is like a castle in the air supported by a piece of wood. of crushing.

After a while, Bi Ziyan said, "Send a letter to all the elders, the ministers who left the capital, except for the second grandson, everyone else should go back to Beijing. It's time to finish some things."

The staff sighed inwardly, and said, "Yes."

The reason why he sighed was because the elder Bi Ge was too broad-minded, and at this time he could calmly decide whether he would go or stay. If he could have a little selfishness and do something, that would be great.

Bi Ziyan had been in the court for many years, he was a student of old officials, and many people were promoted. He had great prestige in the court and the public. His departure has already caused a storm, and this storm is in the ascendant.

Bi Ziyan sat in the carriage and slowly opened it. Seeing that the capital was getting closer, his heart became more and more restless.

"I'm really old." Bi Ziyan sighed in his heart.

Chapter 1290 Perverted Love

In an unknown place, the trees are shady, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, flocks of birds are flying, and the five small houses look very simple.

At first glance, it looks like a secluded place for an expert in the world, or even a legendary paradise.

In a quaint room, sandalwood is like mist, Taoist objects are everywhere, and it is very quiet.
