Domineering Daming

Yang Lian already knew about this matter, Zhu Xu summoned him, but it was a formal appointment.

Half an hour later, Yang Lian didn't get Zhu Xu's arrangement to resume class. Holding Shang Fang's sword, Wang ordered the arrow to leave the palace impassionedly with a smug face.

Standing in front of the railing of Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Xu let out a long breath.

Just one last step!

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's back with a worried look on his brows.

"Has Jingyang Palace been cleaned up?" Zhu Xu said after a while.

Since Wenzhao Pavilion was given to King Xin, Ye Xianggao and others, it would be more troublesome for Zhu Xu to stay here.

Cao Huachun hurriedly took a step forward and said, "It's already packed, the emperor can move there anytime."

Zhu Xu nodded, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's move today."

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's back, hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, what should the cabinet do?"

Zhu Xu said: "Not moving for now, after Sun Chengzong comes back, all military affairs will be handled there."

Cao Huachun said that he obeyed the order, and knew in his heart that although Zhu Xu appointed a new Minister of the Ministry of War, in fact it was Sun Chengzong who was in charge of military affairs.

Zhu Xu didn't explain too much, the cabinet was completely emptied, and with Sun Chengzong, the chief assistant who specialized in military affairs, the cabinet actually became the military aircraft department!

Yang Lian's efficiency was very high. After receiving Zhu Xu's imperial edict, the manpower that had been prepared long ago began to mobilize and prepare. It was reported to the "Cabinet" memorial, and it was said that he would be ready to go in three days.

The Donglin Party was ecstatic about Zhu Xu's appointment, holding the sword of Shang Fang, ready to "exorcise evil and use righteousness" all over the world.

However, the leaders of the Donglin Party are not easy to fool. Although they seem to have given higher trust and power, in fact, they are not even qualified to go to the court.

It was night, Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing and others gathered together, all of them looked solemn after some politeness.

Everyone can see that the new emperor is unusual. He quietly cut off all the cabinet ministers, especially those veterans of the Donglin Party, who are almost all put on the shelf and not given real power.

Ye Xianggao and Han Huang didn't speak. They looked at each other. They were old colleagues for many years, so they understood each other and didn't speak.

They are in the Donglin Party, trying their best to mediate, hoping that the government will be peaceful, and they don't want the fighting to intensify.

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou seemed calmer, they had obtained Zhu Xu's Shangfang sword, they had great power in their hands, and they were not too eager.

Zhao Nanxing's complexion was thin, and there was a sharp look in his eyes.He has the most upright personality in the Donglin Party. Once he has made up his mind, he will go forward. He looked at the other people sitting next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the emperor is too willful. He put us aside and has no thought of serving the country. The situation in my Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse, tax revenue is almost exhausted, swords and soldiers are everywhere, and the smoke of war is everywhere! Is it possible that you really want to watch the emperor continue without any constraints?"

Chapter 243 The Last Court Meeting

The stars are bright and the stars are like the sea.

Jingyang Palace is as bright as day, and the imperial study is brightly lit.

Wei Zhongxian stood respectfully not far from the imperial table, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Nanxing has already persuaded Yang Lian and others to give to Shizhong and other Donglin party members in the court tomorrow, all the censors... "

"Let's not talk about this first..."

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, put down his teacup, and interrupted: "You send people to follow behind the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Whenever they pass by a place, they will find out major and important cases for me. The more the better, the better." Bigger is better."

Although Wei Zhongxian had read a lot of Zhang Juzheng's books, he couldn't understand Zhu Xu's ambitions. He just thought that Zhu Xu wanted to clean up the Metropolitan Procuratorate and get rid of the annoying Zhao Nanxing and others along the way.

He bowed slightly, and said in awe: "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu looked at him and smiled, tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a while and said suddenly: "I'll give you two more positions, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Minister of Punishment."

Wei Zhongxian's face moved slightly, he knew very well that the emperor's palace and the terrible plan in front of him would never give away anything for nothing, so he bowed again and said: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu raised his head, looked outside the dark door, his eyes sparkled, and said: "Every time a case occurs, you immediately summon the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the three divisions of Dali Temple for a joint trial. Remember, it's in the local area! Borrowing other yamen to prepare the government office is called... Sansi Yamen, and from now on, the Sansi Yamen will be responsible for all lawsuits in one government."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes changed slightly. He had struggled with power for half his life, so he didn't understand Zhu Xu's intentions and consequences!

Criminal litigation has a special status in the yamen of a prefecture and a county. If they are given a ranking of power, it will be the second if not the first!

In his opinion, Zhu Xu may be able to hide it for a while by using this method, but it cannot last for a long time.It would be a terrible thing if the government-level parent officials in the world were dissatisfied with the emperor!

But now Wei Zhongxian only regards him as Zhu Xu's smart dog, he bowed and said: "Yes, I guarantee that every state capital will have a third or fourth yamen."

Zhu Xu naturally had no doubts about Wei Zhongxian's ability, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Tomorrow, you too will enter the palace."

Wei Zhongxian's expression changed again, he knew what Zhu Xu's words meant, and he bowed deeply: "My servant thanked the emperor, and I am willing to be smashed to pieces for the emperor, I will not hesitate!"

Zhu Xu stood up, smiling more and more, and said with his hands behind his back: "Well, go to Wenzhao Pavilion and meet King Xin."

Wei Zhongxian's heart trembled repeatedly, but he suppressed it and told him to calm down, but he still couldn't figure out the meaning of Zhu Xu's words, so he could only say: "Follow the order."

After Zhu Xu confessed a few more words, Wei Zhongxian resigned knowingly.

Zhu Xu walked out of the imperial table, stood in front of the imperial study room, stretched out his arms, and looked at the stars all over the sky.

"Xiao Cao, tell me, what will the weather be like tomorrow?"

Cao Huachun stood behind Zhu Xu, looked up, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think it will rain tomorrow, so I plan to re-arrange the rainproof fortifications in the palace."

Zhu Xu smiled, Cao Huachun has been with him for a long time, but he has learned a lot.What he wants to arrange is not rainproof fortifications, but to reorganize the palace to ensure safety!

Not long after, Wei Zhongxian left the Wenzhao Pavilion and quietly left the palace under the leadership of a group of eunuchs.

Standing in front of Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Youjian also looked up at the sky, but his face was solemn, and his heart was extremely worried.

Standing beside him was Wang Chengen, who was bowing. He looked at Zhu Youjian's side face, and said in thought, "My lord, are you worried about the emperor?"

Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, and said: "Yes, the emperor's arbitrary deployment of troops has caused a mess of the national guards, which is disturbing. In addition, the current treasury is exhausted, and the cabinet is deserted. This culprit of the eunuch party is reactivated, and the whole world will follow his temper, I am worried that if this continues, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

Wang Chengen was a little fat, with a round face, looked at Zhu Youjian with wide eyes, thought for a while and said, "My lord, why don't you persuade the emperor more?"

Zhu Youjian smiled wryly, and said: "Your Majesty, you also know that you have always had ideas. When you were still in Jinghuan Palace, even the emperor brother couldn't control it. Now that you are the emperor, who can control it? I want to make up for it." The cabinet, you can advise the emperor a lot, fill in the vacancies, and don't go astray, but the emperor seems to know my thoughts, and walks ahead of me in everything, and doesn't give me a chance..."

Seeing Zhu Youjian's rare pouring of bitterness, Wang Chengen's heart sank, and his face also had a look of worry.

Zhu Youjian talked for a while, and seemed to feel that he had lost face, and raised his foot and said: "Come here today, come out of the palace with me."

Wang Chengen nodded and followed. He knew that the prince was going to visit the leaders of the Donglin Party.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Xu was fully dressed, and under the guidance of Cao Huachun and others, he walked into the Huangji Hall and sat on the dragon chair.

His small stature formed an extremely sharp contrast with this splendid hall full of ministers.

Cao Huachun stepped forward as usual, and said loudly: "Everything should be played early!"

Immediately, Chen Liangxun stood up, held the board, and raised his hand to Zhu Xu in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I impeached the cabinet minister Sun Chengzong, wantonly corrupted power, cultivated party members, manipulated soldiers, and disturbed the world. , I request you to remove him and hand him over to a judge for trial!"

"My minister agrees!"
