Domineering Daming

On winter nights, the brothel is as warm as spring, and obscenities and obscenities can be heard endlessly.

The downsizing of the imperial court eventually caused disturbances.

In addition to the nine temples, many institutions have been merged and cut down. The most important ones are Ke Dao, Thirteen Dao Yushi, and six departments have been cut or merged into the Governor's Council, and their powers have been deprived or weakened.

A group of censors Qingliu made a fuss about Wenzhao Pavilion to give an explanation, and many people even wrote letters to impeach Xin Wang, asking for his dismissal and re-establishment of the cabinet.

However, Donglin and Qingliu's top management had agreed on the matter of reducing the organization, and strongly supported Xinwang. In the end, these people actually entrusted their relationship to Fu Changzong, and Fu Changzong couldn't refuse.

Because this matter involves the emperor, Zhu Xu himself!

Among the thirteen censors, the "Jiangxi" Taoist censor and Zhu Xusheng's mother, an eunuch next to Empress Xiaoren, are from the same village. It's not that it's useless, the eunuch knows the old doctor who used the medicine of tiger and wolf to save Zhu Xu before.

The old doctor had been out of the palace a long time ago to take care of his old age, but there was a situation that he could not shirk, so he bit the bullet and found Fu Changzong.

At this moment, Fu Changzong faced Zhu Xu with a wry smile.

Zhu Xu also had a weird expression on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched again and again.

Chapter 389 Discussion on Cutting the Post Station

Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong and was also speechless for a while.

Even he, the emperor, can find a relationship, so that he can't shirk it, one can imagine the horror of cronies.

It may not be easy for them to become powerful, but it is easy to do bad things.

Seeing Zhu Xu's strange expression, Fu Changzong raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you just keep one?"

"Keep one?" Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong suspiciously.

Fu Changzong said: "Yes, Your Majesty, without the supervision of the censor, I am afraid that all places will become more unscrupulous. The Governor's Council has not yet formed regulations, and we still need to deter them."

Zhu Xu frowned, and the abolition of science and roads was originally for the purpose of centralizing power. The imperial court needs to centralize power, and the local government also needs it, but it must also prevent the local area from becoming bigger and resisting the imperial court. It needs supervision and control.

He pondered for a while, and said: "There is no need to worry about Dongchang. Well, what is the request of this 'Jiangxi Dao' censor?"

Fu Changzong looked a little embarrassed, but still raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this censor wants to be promoted to be the Minister of the Six Departments."

Zhu Xu looked up at the sky outside, and opened his eyes.

"Naked dignitaries...humanity is greater than heaven..."

After a long time, he said with emotion in his heart, "Transfer Zhejiang's chief envoy to Beijing, and let this censor be the chief envoy."

When Fu Changzong saw what Zhu Xu said, he understood that he had made up his mind to abolish the Ke Dao, and the chief envoy of Zhejiang was a great official in the frontier, so the censor should also be satisfied.

This kindness is also considered to be over.

The matter is over, and Fu Changzong didn't bother with it anymore, saying: "Your Majesty, I have already counted the number of acres of land in the country, and the total should be around 12 acres, of which [-] acres are in the hands of Huitong Commercial Bank. It came from the clan, and some were purchased and reclaimed by us before. Most of the rest were scattered in the hands of nobles and nobles. The nobles in a county can occupy half of it, with hundreds of hectares, and the rest are scattered in different sizes. Menting, what the imperial court can expropriate, is less than one-tenth."

Zhu Xu was silent. He knew very well about the land annexation of Ming Dynasty. Similarly, the more serious the annexation, the more difficult it would be to deal with it, and the higher the opposition would be.

Don't talk about the place, just talk about the big and small officials of the imperial court. Even Fu Changzong had a hundred hectares of land before becoming an official.From the first rank to the seventh rank, even a low-ranking official has hundreds of acres of fertile land.

At this time, acres of land are the most important assets. As long as you are a little rich, you will buy acres of land and pass them down from generation to generation, accumulating more and more.

But the more this is the case, the more it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Zhu Xu nodded, and said solemnly: "The Ministry of Household Affairs should first find out, don't startle the snake, even if you want to clear the acres of land in the future, you must remember that it is just for registration, there is no other purpose!"

Fu Changzong was well aware of the danger, and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu stood up, walked towards the door, looked at the blue sky outside the palace, and said with a smile: "Uncle, Brother Xin Wang, you and Zhou Yingqiu need to help a little more. In the future, Qingzhang Tianmu still needs Wen Zhao. The court will do it."

Just as Fu Changzong was about to speak, Cao Huachun walked over quickly and whispered something in Zhu Xu's ear.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, stretched out his arms immediately, and said with a smile: "The weather is so good today, let's go out of the palace and take a walk."

Fu Changzong didn't ask any more questions, as he understood what should be done.

Zhu Xu was dressed in plain clothes, walking on the street, followed by Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao.

The weather is getting weirder and weirder now, even if there is no rain or snow, the daytime is surprisingly cold, just like in the middle of winter night, most people won't come out.

Zhu Xu strolled, and came straight to Cuifang Building. Ai'er at the door was wearing heavy makeup. As soon as she saw Zhu Xu, she swayed over and said with a flattering smile: "Young master, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

Zhu Xu sized up the former little court lady, and now she has the confidence and temperament of a high-ranking person more and more in her gestures.

With his hands behind his back, he was about to speak when a group of drunken people rushed over and shouted, "Aunt Li, where is Miss Liu Qing..."

Cao Bianjiao instinctively wanted to pull out the blunderbuss in his waist, but Zhu Xu waved his hand.

The group of people in front of them are either rich or noble. From their appearance, they are more likely to be officials of the imperial court, not assassins.

What he was curious about was that there was a rule in the Ming court, who would be punished severely if he had sex with a prostitute, or even dismissed from office.

Ai'er recognized these three regular customers at a glance, and said with a fake smile: "Oh, Mr. Liu, Mr. Mao, Mr. Cao, please come inside, Xiao Zhou, invite the three adults inside..."

But Mao Yujian pushed Zhu Xu away, hugged Ai'er's shoulder, and said loudly: "Aunt Li, leave him alone, what kind of brothel is the brat, let's go, let's go find Miss Liu Qing..."

At that moment, not only Cao Bianjiao's body was tense and wanted to shoot, but several plainclothes imperial guards upstairs and downstairs also jumped out.

Zhu Xu took a few steps back, his eyes flashed coldly, and he still pressed his hands quietly to the surroundings.

Cao Bianjiao looked indifferent, suppressed his murderous aura, and made a gesture of "don't move rashly".

Cao Huachun's eyes were cold, and he firmly remembered the faces of these three people.

Liu Mao also put his arms around Ai'er's waist, smiled lewdly with his eyes and said, "Yes, Aunt Li, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Fear flickered on Ai'er's face, and she said with a stiff smile: "Everyone who enters the door is a guest, please come inside the three adults..." As she said that, she was about to break free from the three of them.

But Mao Yujian turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xu, sneered, and said, "What can you do, I will double the money today, let's go..."

His voice did not speak, and the expression of Master Cao who had not spoken all this time changed suddenly. He first saw Cao Huachun, then Zhu Xu, his eyes widened suddenly, his face was full of fear, and cold sweat dripped down his face.

He didn't know Zhu Xu, but he knew Cao Huachun, because he was from the Cao family and the grandson of Cao Huachun's elder brother.Even though Cao Huachun seldom went out of the palace and seldom got involved in the affairs of the Cao family, he met him once at the family sacrifice.

Apart from the emperor in the palace, who else can accompany the chief executive of the palace and be careful not to speak?

Looking at Zhu Xu's age, his noble appearance, and his half-smile face, his whole body trembled violently.

"Let's go!" Liu Mao held Ai'er in his arms, and was about to force her to go.

Ai'er's eyes flashed coldly, and she was about to have an attack. The Master Cao suddenly came to his senses, and he knelt down and kowtowed at Zhu Xu several times.

He quickly got up again, stood up and pulled Liu Mao and Mao Yujian and said loudly: "Brother Mao, brother Liu, let's go, let's go to work today, let's go back first..."
