Domineering Daming

Yang Lian was terrified, he was aware of some of Zhao Nanxing's tricks, but he didn't expect that he would be stabbed to Zhu Xu.

If this memorandum were to be published, not to mention Zhao Nanxing's reputation would be ruined, the Donglin Party would probably become street rats, and the scolding alone would be enough to make them resign in shame and indignation, and never dare to appear in front of the world again!

A smile flickered at the corner of Zhu Xu's mouth, and he said in a very cold tone: "Master Yang, can you explain to me? Xin Wang told me that Donglin people are all good in character, talent and learning, is that so good? Nachao Official positions are like a child's play, you can give them to whoever you want, and you can expel whoever you want, you have no respect in your eyes, there is nothing you can't do!"

Yang Lian knelt on the ground with a puff, the corners of his mouth twitched, his whole body was cold, and he said in a trembling voice: "I take the world as my duty, and I am determined..."

"Okay." Zhu Xu interrupted in disgust, and said: "I didn't see you helping the world, but I saw that you formed a party in secret, had no king and no father, and rebelled against the law..."

Yang Lian knelt there, listening to Zhu Xu's cold reprimand, he couldn't refute a single word.

The melody in his hand was a rope, strangling his neck tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe, his mind was in a mess, and he had no thoughts at all.

Zhu Xu spoke for a long while, seeing that Yang Lian still couldn't say a word, he said calmly: "Take this melody back, I'll pretend I didn't see it."

The nervousness on Yang Lian's face eased slightly, and he took a breath and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Lian stood up, glanced at Zhu Xu, and left the imperial study with great anxiety.

Zhu Xu sat there, thought for a while, and said: "Six ministers are called, and the king of Xin comes to see me."

Appointing Zhu Youjian as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet requires the full cooperation of the six ministries, and some things need to be explained face to face.

Not long after, Zhu Youjian, the letter king, Fu Changzong, the secretary of the household department, Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the official department, Xu Dahua, the secretary of the Ministry of industry, Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, and others gathered in the imperial study.

Zhu Xu sat there and briefly explained the matter. Except for Xu Dahua, everyone else had no objections.Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu already knew about it, so they both agreed, two of them agreed, and the others had no way to object.

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he saw that Zhu Xu really wanted to appoint him as Prime Minister, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Zhu Xu looked at the expressions of the crowd, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Tomorrow, I will pass the decree to all officials in Wenzhao Pavilion, all adults must be ready, and there must be no mistakes."

The faces of the few people waiting in the imperial study changed, tomorrow is the day when Zhao Nanxing will force the palace!

Zhu Xu smiled calmly and looked at Zhu Youjian quietly.Now that he is the prime minister of government affairs, he should settle this matter.

Zhu Youjian frowned, looked up at Zhu Xu, and felt a sense of suddenness in his heart, which was even more heavy. He felt that Zhu Xu appointed him as the Prime Minister just to deal with Zhao Nanxing, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Zhu Xu understood Zhu Youjian's character, and he could guess what he was thinking by looking at his face, and said with a more natural smile: "Okay, I will take care of other things, just follow Chaoyi tomorrow."

Chapter 257 Yang Lianming Got Enlightened

Although Zhu Youjian was uneasy, but with the power to restrain Zhu Xu and prevent him from messing around, Zhu Youjian also worked extraordinarily hard.

As soon as he left the palace, he summoned Shi Fenglai, Qian Longxi and others one after another, intending to take them under his command and form a team of prime ministers and ministers.

Zhu Xu left behind six ministers, and quietly hinted that the six people were all smart people, no matter whether they were Zhu Xu's direct lineage, or Shen Yongmao from the Ministry of War, they had no objections, except for the Donglin Party, no one I hope that Donglin's influence will continue to expand until it is difficult to contain it.

Yang Lian held the memorial, frowned, sat in the sedan chair solemnly, and swayed back home.

The housekeeper followed him, watching his master's face turn pale after leaving the palace, without saying a word, he cheered up: "Master, did the emperor make things difficult for you? Now the emperor can't do without you. If you really want to make things difficult, take As soon as he resigns, the emperor will definitely back down..."

If it was normal, Yang Lian wouldn't take it seriously, but now it sounds particularly harsh, and his tone is also cold: "From now on, you are not allowed to say such things, no matter where it is!"

The housekeeper was stunned, then came to his senses, approached and whispered: "My lord, did the emperor use any means?"

Yang Lian felt extremely uncomfortable now, Zhao Nanxing and the Donglin Party had mobilized a huge force, and thought they would be sure, but they did not expect that the emperor actually had this thing in his hand.Once it is released, it will be a catastrophe for the destruction of the Donglin Party!

Yang Lian held the playbook in his hand, his face moved, and he hesitated to say: "It's okay, hurry up."

The butler understood at this moment, and urged the bearer: "Have you heard that, go back home quickly."

The bearer agreed and quickened his pace.

Yang Mansion, Zuo Guangdou and others have not left, they have been waiting, the Donglin Party's offensive is getting bigger and bigger, everyone is staring at the palace, waiting for the emperor to deal with it.

As soon as Yang Lian returned to the mansion, Zuo Guangdou and others greeted him.

"Brother Yang, what's the result? What did the emperor say?"

"Is the emperor going to give in? I heard that King Xin and the six ministers were recruited into the palace."

"Brother Yang, what news do you have?"

Yang Lian looked serious, and said: "Everyone, let's talk in the study."

When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, they immediately stopped asking questions and followed Yang Lian into the study.

When everyone was assembled, the door was closed, and Yang Lian silently handed the melody to Zuo Guangdou.

"this is?"

Zuo Guangdou looked slightly startled, took it over and lowered his head and turned over.

Seeing that his expression also changed, he looked up at Yang Lian and said, "Brother Yang, did the emperor give you this?"

Yang Lian took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Well, the emperor severely reprimanded me and asked me to bring it back. He said he didn't see it."

Zuo Guangdou frowned, and said, "Pretend you didn't see it? What does that mean?"

The memorandum was circulated for a while, and most people understood it. They were nervous but puzzled, saying: "What does the emperor mean? If you really want to punish Zhao Nanxing, you can just issue an order. Why do you have to hand it over to Brother Yang? "

"Could it be that Lord Zhao's power is too great, the emperor is a bit wary and wants Brother Yang to be a lobbyist?"

"Impossible, if it's really a lobbyist, it's University Student Ye..."

Everyone talked to each other, discussing Zhu Xu's purpose.

After a long while, there was no result. Yang Lian was also puzzled, and said after deliberation: "Forget it, I'll go to Ye Mansion and ask Master Ye what to say."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded secretly, thinking that this is a way.Ye Xianggao has gone through four dynasties and stayed in the cabinet for the longest time. He must be able to see through the ups and downs of his career.

This matter cannot be delayed, Yang Lian took the memorial and rushed to Ye Xianggao's mansion non-stop.

But at this moment, Ye Xianggao was standing under the eaves of the study, looking at the clear sky, but his eyes were filled with despair.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a generous face and a peaceful expression, and said: "My lord, Mr. Zhou returned to the official office, summoned officials of the fifth rank and above, and strictly ordered them not to participate in Mr. Zhao's affairs. Write down the letter of guarantee, but if you don't write it, you will be dismissed immediately, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials are the same."

Ye Xianggao sighed, and said: "Well, I already know this. There is news from the Prince Xin's Mansion that the Emperor is visiting at night, and he is planning to seal the letter as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. There should be a lot of people in the hands of Xin Wang to recruit and choose by himself."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man beside him pondered, and said: "The emperor's move is to show that he will definitely not let the lord revive?"

Ye Xianggao nodded, with deeper worries on his face, and said: "I had a hunch, but I always had hope. Besides, the emperor is young and needs someone to help, but now it seems that I think too much. Mengzhang, are you here?" How long have you been in the Ministry of Officials?"

The middle-aged man's name is Fan Jingwen, styled Mengzhang, and he is currently Wen Xuanlang of the Ministry of Officials.The Ministry of Officials has made a decision that he will be promoted to Yuanwailang next year after the Yuan Dynasty is changed.

Hearing Ye Xianggao's sudden change of subject, he was slightly stunned, and said, "My lord, I have been in the Ministry of Officials for more than a year."

Ye Xianggao glanced at him with a smile, and said: "Well, you are not bad, and your qualifications are enough. I plan to recommend you to Xin Wang. How about being a prime minister?"
