Domineering Daming

Li Youtang quickly turned around and said: "This is one of the plans of the 'New Deal'. The Ministry of Punishments and others are promoting it, and it has been basically completed. But... Although it has been completed, the people who manage these prisons are still the same people. , Changed the soup but not the medicine."

Sun Chuanting is not surprised, this is the current predicament of Daming, where further reform is needed.

"I see." Sun Chuanting held the pen and lowered his head again.

Li Youtang waited for a while, then turned and went out.

After a while, Bao Liyou came in in a hurry and said, "My lord, I don't think the matter of King Lu is simple. I'm worried that someone is plotting against you."

Without raising his head, Sun Chuanting said, "They do theirs, we do ours, strictly implement the plan, and other things—the soldiers come to cover up the water."

Bao Liyou thought about Sun Chuanting's words, suddenly realized, and said, "Your Excellency is brilliant!"

Ministry of Accounts.

The officers of the Ministry of Punishments dragged King Lu and dragged him out of the Ministry of Households.

The king of Lu smelled of alcohol, his face was flushed, and he roared loudly: "This king is the prince of the current dynasty, the grandson of the great ancestor, you slaves dare to arrest me, are you going against the sky! I want to see the emperor, I want you I can't eat and walk around!"

The guards didn't seem to hear, and dragged them away abruptly.

There were more than 20 servants from the Ministry of Punishment, and the leader was Zhong Yangsheng, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who was in uniform.

The onlookers were shocked. They were not detained in the clan's mansion, nor in the Ministry of Punishment, but in the prison in the capital. There is a more familiar name here: Tianlao!

Almost none of the people who were imprisoned here came out alive!

Some of the onlookers were terrified and fled quickly.

One of them is King Lu's ally for many years, King Jin Zhu Qiugui!

According to the convention they understand, the King of Lu is the vassal, that is, the King of Jin succeeds the Zongzheng of the clan's mansion. This is almost the only choice, because there are only a handful of living princes in Daming. king!

However, King Lu didn't take over the feudal domain and was sent to prison!

King Jin no longer had the self-confidence he had before. He was confident that he could take over as Zongzheng of the clan's mansion, and then he would leave Beijing and become the emperor of the land.

He was afraid, afraid that King Lu would confess him, that he was the mastermind behind the scenes!

King Jin was worried about himself, and the other onlookers were worried about Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting even dared to go to prison directly for King Lu, what else would he not dare to do?

For a while, people in the court and the wild were panicked. Countless impeachment transcripts were flown into the Prison of Rites early the next morning, and some people filed complaints in the Governor's Yuan, Dali Temple, and even at the gate of the palace, demanding that Zhu Xu severely punish Sun Chuanting!

But all of this failed to prevent the holding of the year-end meeting the next day.

Early in the morning, the cabinet officials were busy, and a large conference hall that could accommodate 880 people was filled with chairs.

The layout of the conference has changed again, it is still a circle, at the front, there is a row of long tables with ten seats, lowered from the highest point to the two sides, showing the identity.

In front of the circular seat, there are four large characters, representing the four directions of Ming Dynasty, and they are all the positions of councilors.

Unlike before, officials at all levels of the imperial court were also involved, and no special positions were reserved for them.

On the semi-second floor, there is still a circle reserved for "observers", with a total of about 150 people.

All of this was naturally arranged by Sun Chuanting.

The people present at the meeting looked at all these changes with a heavy heart. No matter how reluctant they were, another phase of the "New Deal" had already arrived.

Chapter 1310 Dramatic Personnel Changes

In the Forbidden City, melodious and heavy bells rang from time to time, conveying various signals.

The Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate opened, and officials from both sides poured in like a tide, and then entered the cabinet, went straight to the second floor, and entered the conference room for the year-end meeting.

The order of entry is from low to high. Whether it is a member of parliament or an official, the person who enters finds their position, holds a thick document, and a carbon pen, sits down one after another, and discusses in a low voice.There seemed to be countless bees buzzing in the huge conference room.

Although Sun Chuanting's position was confirmed more than half a year ago, Bi Ziyan's "illness" suddenly, Sun Chuanting's administration plan is too large, detailed, and extremely destructive, which will break the stability of the court since Bi Ziyan. This makes almost everyone panic, fear, and worry about the upcoming changes.

This change, just today!

Not long after the low-level officials and councilors came in, the bell rang again, and the high-level ones, the ministers of the six departments, the ministers of various temples, Shaoqing, etc. entered the venue one after another, including officials from special yamen such as Fu Tao and Gong Dingzi.

The entry of these people suppressed the noise a bit.

After a while, senior officials like the six ministers entered the arena one after another, their voices gradually suppressed.

Zhao Han, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Bingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Guo Guangxin, Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Dahua, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Liao Changyong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Shen Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Then came Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, King Jing Zhu Luhu, Wang Qiaonian, Fu Changzong and other five people. Bi Ziyan "leaved due to illness".

Sun Chengzong and others split the two sides and sat on both sides of the highest seat.

Everyone calmly looked at the side door intently, waiting for the last person.

Nearly 500 people were already seated in the huge conference hall, which looked unprecedentedly solemn and serious. The people inside unconsciously straightened their backs with solemn faces.

On the central wall of the meeting room, there are the national flag and military flag of Ming Dynasty. In the middle is a huge rectangular pendulum clock just made by the Royal Government Council. Every part is ingenious. The outer frame, pointer, compass, etc. It is a concentrated expression of the technological progress of Ming Dynasty.

Dong dong dong, the crisp sound resounded in the meeting room, and it was also beating on the hearts of many people.

Amidst the crowd's endless calls, Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin came out from the small gate hand in hand.

Cao Hua looked around, hugged Fuchen, and shouted sharply: "The emperor is here!"

All the officials in the hall immediately stood up in unison, looked at Zhu Xu who stepped out with one foot, bowed and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "I wait to see my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Xu came out and looked up, there were hundreds of people in the pit and valley, the scene was unprecedented, and most of them were the high-level officials of Daming, who determined almost everything about Da Ming!

Zhu Xu is 23 years old now, with a height of 1.7 meters [-], neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, he can be regarded as the most ordinary type of person.

He strode forward, walked to his seat, waved his hands like a spring breeze, and said: "All gentlemen are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hundreds of people spoke in unison, and their voices were like thunder, echoing throughout the conference room.

A group of people put down their hands, did not sit down, but still stood, looking at Zhu Xu with different eyes.

On the ground, Zhu Xu stood the tallest, and he could look down on everyone. He had a friendly smile and an elegant expression, like a noble son in a high school, without a trace of fireworks, calm and graceful.

Zhu Xu sat down, looked at a group of people, and said with a smile, "Sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The voices of the crowd became louder, and the chairs rattled and sat down one after another.

At this time, Fu Changzong was standing on a semi-circular high platform in front of Zhu Xu's right hand, facing the meeting hall.

He is the host this time, replacing Sun Chuanting from last year.
