Domineering Daming

Zheng Chouyong was nervous and didn't have the heart to greet Feng Zhu. After a few words, he left and left the cabinet in a hurry.

Fu Changzong dismissed Zheng Chouyong, and the other elders almost finished the task of playing bad faces today, and they all came to Pian Ting to drink tea and rest.

The second one arrived was Shen Xun, looking at Zhao Han who was already sitting there drinking tea, he smiled bitterly and said, "How about it, isn't it easy?"

Zhao Han put down his teacup, shook his head and said, "None of these governors is simple. I almost couldn't hold on several times."

Shen Xun laughed loudly, sat down and said: "If you miss the trap, then our cabinet will lose face."

Just as he was talking, Zhou Yingqiu walked in, sighing constantly, and said, "I didn't tell the truth, I was worried that talking too much would backfire."

Zhao Han said: "Don't worry about this. They have some places where they use their strength. The feedback from the prefects in various places is almost the same. It is these governors' yamen who suppress the prefect's yamen to varying degrees. They want to dominate everything, but the stalls are too big. It seems powerless. , but still refused to let go..."

Chapter 1468 The End of the Wa Country

The cabinet is trying to give the governors who came to Beijing a blow, and Zhu Xu in Qianqing Palace is much more relaxed.

After Feng Zhu came back, he told Zhu Xu what he had seen and heard in the cabinet.

After hearing this, Zhu Xu shook his head with a smile, and said, "Shou Fu is really well-intentioned."

To say that the person who has the deepest understanding of the situation in Ming Dynasty, besides Zhu Xu, maybe even Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting.

Bi Ziyan seeks stability and is a representative of reformism, helping Zhu Xu to stabilize the chaotic situation in the early stage.Sun Chuanting was chosen by Zhu Xu, a staunch reformer.

This reform is a big wave, and batch after batch has been eliminated, not to mention the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, even Bi Ziyan, can be regarded as eliminated.

Now Sun Chuanting is vigorously promoting new people to replace people from Bi Ziyan's era for the sake of reform. It is probably a kind of preservation that he plays a bad face so severely.

If you want to survive this period and retreat in the future, you must have enough merits. Like Bi Ziyan, you must have the strong protection of the Qianqing Palace, and you will not be liquidated by others like Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Xu could understand, but Feng Zhu didn't have such bureaus. Standing in front of Zhu Xu's desk, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there are already ten million acres of land in the hands of the Supervisor of Rituals, the Ministry of Households, the Royal Bank, and the Royal Commercial Group. More than mu, plus Liaodong, Annan, etc., there are even more, should it really be handed over to the local government for division?"

Zhu Xu was looking at the draft submitted by Sun Chuanting to speak at the year-end meeting, without raising his head, he said, "Continue talking."

Feng Zhu looked at Zhu Xu carefully, and said: "Your Majesty, the servants think that the place is still not reliable. If I leave it to them to measure and divide the land, I don't know how much trickery it will be. I am afraid that it will go against the original intention of the Emperor and the cabinet. If it is a little more serious, good things may turn into bad things, and there will be big troubles."

Zhu Xu's hand that turned the page paused, looked up at Feng Zhu thoughtfully, and said, "Your thoughts."

Feng Zhu quickly lowered his head and said, "This servant thinks that this matter should still be in the hands of the cabinet."

Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, his eyes revealing his thoughts.

Feng Zhu's words reminded him.Sun Chuanting's reform of official administration will only be able to be implemented at the county level next year. If these people want to control the situation in the complex gentry environment, there is no hope in three or two years.

If it is handed over to the local government to divide the land, it is likely to be left-handed and right-handed.

But the cabinet still doesn't have so much energy to do such trivial, complicated and time-consuming things as land surveying, population registration, and division of fields throughout Daming.

Zhu Xu pondered for a while, and said: "I heard that Mrs. Cao's condition has improved, so you go to visit on my behalf. There is a plaque written by me on the outside that reads 'Loyalty, Diligence and Serving the Country', take it with you, and go to the queen to get 1 taels Yinyuan, tell Cao Huachun again, if you have nothing to do, come to the palace to see me."

Feng Zhu was taken aback by Zhu Xu's sudden jumping away, but quickly reacted and said, "Your servant obeys the order."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and didn't say any more.

The matter of land is the core and most complicated matter of the feudal dynasty. Land acquisition is troublesome, and land distribution is even more troublesome, not to mention dealing with mergers and future commodity economy and other issues.

The more it came to this kind of time, the more difficult it felt, even Zhu Xu had to deal with it cautiously and deliberate over and over again.

Feng Zhu came out of Dongnuan Pavilion, took the plaque and packed it, and went to Kunning Palace to get silver dollars, and then prepared to go to Cao Huachun's mansion.

"Eunuch, the emperor is really kind to Eunuch Cao. He not only gave the royal manor, but also a handwritten plaque..." A young eunuch in his 20s was full of envy.

After Zhu Xu ascended the throne, the clean room was closed, so there were no new eunuchs. This young man was sent to the palace at a very young age.

Feng Zhu glanced at him, and said: "Be loyal to the country, serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and give some rewards at the end. This is what should be done. The emperor still thinks it is not enough. What are you envious of?"

The little eunuch smiled awkwardly, not daring to say more.

Not to mention the commotion caused by Feng Zhu's visit to Cao's house, a special guest was also welcomed in Yonghe Palace.

Yonghe Palace is Xingzi's palace, and the person who welcomes him is Nobuzuna Matsudaira.

This time at the year-end meeting of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting strictly ordered all the governors not to be absent. North Korea, Ryukyu, Horqin, etc. all came, but Dorgon from the Wa Kingdom was allowed not to enter Beijing.

Dorgon then sent an envoy, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, to Beijing.

After Matsudaira Nobuzuna settled down according to the etiquette and visited the cabinet, he couldn't wait to ask to enter the palace to meet the noble concubine Xingzi.

The two former monarchs and ministers meet again, their identities have changed, and the situation is complicated and difficult to describe.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at Xingzi who had a slightly protruding belly, with mixed emotions in his heart, and his expression was even more sad. He still followed the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, raised his hand and bowed: "My minister Matsudaira Nobuzuna, I have seen the imperial concubine."

Accompanying Xingzi was not only her mother and son, but also the maid sent by the queen Zhang Yun. The door was open and aboveboard.

Xingzi's expression was complicated, seeing Matsudaira Nobutsuna seemed to recall the years of the Japanese kingdom, but things changed and people changed, it was unbearable to look back.

"Let's get down." Xingzi's voice was not as crisp as before, but a little softer.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna got up, looked at Xingzi's situation, knew that she had good intentions, she was full of words, but she said: "Your Majesty, are you still used to it?"

Xingzi smiled reluctantly, and said: "Your Majesty treats me very well, don't worry about me, you... are you okay?"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna had thought about this question before he came, but now he didn't know how to answer it.

Well, Dorgon adopted a high-handed rule in the country of Japan. The General's Mansion gathered nearly [-] warriors to suppress the rebels everywhere in the country of Japan. The army is here.

If it is not good, the Ming Dynasty abolished feudal vassals and established counties, abolished the strict warrior system, wiped out bullies, and strived for stability, and the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty flooded in like a tide, and everything was developing in a good direction.

Xingzi seemed to understand, and said with a smile: "That's good, Mr. Songping stay in Beijing for a while, I have some things to prepare, you take them back to Zhengren."

Zhengren is Xingzi's younger brother. Emperor Gomizuo originally planned to let Xingzi abdicate and pass the throne to him, but unexpectedly, everything came to an end.

Although Zhengren is young, he also has a place in Taizhengyuan and is very important, representing the power of the former Japanese royal family.

Another representative of the local power of the Wa Kingdom in the Taishoyuan is Tokugawa Akihide, who inherited the remnants of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna was a retainer of the Tokugawa shogunate and a subject of the Wa Kingdom, so he couldn't say much about the situation, so he could only say: "My minister knows."

Xingzi didn't have any more words to say to Matsudaira Nobuzuna, he could only smile and confess a few words, and then asked someone to send him out.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira came out of the huge Forbidden City, stared at the flawless sky in a daze, could only sigh for a long time, and went back to the post house with a heavy heart.

The shogunate is gone, the Wa Kingdom is gone, and everything can't go back.

When Matsudaira Nobuzuna left the palace, the governor of Nanzhili, Chen Qiyu, arrived in the capital belatedly. After washing up, he quickly entered the palace.

Zhu Xu had been waiting for him for several days, and finally the governor of the most important province of Ming Dynasty arrived.
