Domineering Daming

Without Amin, Houjin would have no one to restrain Huang Taiji, and Houjin would be even more difficult to deal with.

Wei Zhongxian didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhu Xu's words, looked up at him, and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to go hunting in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Zhu Xu waved his hands with a smile, turned around and went in, and said, "Tell me about the news you found."

Wei Zhongxian looked serious, followed Zhu Xu cautiously, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the slaves, in the six temples and nine temples in the capital, there are more than 300 Donglin party members, ranging from seventh rank to second rank. , except for the six ministers, there are almost all other positions, and most of them participated in the 'strike' this time."

Zhu Xu was not surprised. The views of the Donglin party members were widely recognized by the scholar-official class at this time. They had a reputation as "gentlemen".

In addition, Zhao Nanxing "exorcised evil and used righteousness" at the beginning, and promoted many Donglin party members, and then connected with each other, helped and recommended each other. If Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Xu hadn't attacked one after another, the entire capital would be Donglin party people.

Zhu Xu was sitting on the dragon chair, holding an article written by Zou Qingshan in his hand, every word made sense, from Taizu's system to the current situation, the analysis was clear, the words were concise and easy to understand, not obscure , Anyone who has read the book for a few years must be able to understand and be infected.

Zhu Xu shook the article at Wei Zhongxian, and said with a smile, "Isn't the capital full of criticism now?"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at it and knew it. He bowed there and said, "Yes, most scholars believe that the abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really disorderly administration and should not be implemented."

Zhu Xu nodded, looked at Cao Huachun again, and said, "How long has Zhou Jiamo been in Renshou Hall?"

Cao Huachun turned around and said, "It's almost half an hour."

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, his face expressionless, and he felt a lot of pressure in his heart. If it was Tianqi or Wanli, he should have compromised long ago, right?

Not long after, the six ministers also arrived, and even Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan followed.

Everyone looked dignified and solemn.

The paralysis of the Six Ministries is not a trivial matter, not to mention that there is no sound, no major movement, the Donglin Party is clearly throwing everything out, and the "decisive battle" is on.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and it was still Sun Chengzong who raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now is the critical moment for the implementation of the New Deal, and the capital must not be chaotic!"

Zhu Xu looked at him and nodded slightly.The capital cannot be chaotic, otherwise the place will be even more chaotic.

Bi Ziyan didn't speak, feeling in his heart that the emperor was still in a hurry. If he took his time and pushed forward calmly, he would definitely not cause such a big storm.

Except for Sun Chengzong, the Six Ministries are actually headed by Fu Changzong. He said to Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to resume the six ministries' government affairs. Even if it is delayed for an hour, the government affairs will be delayed a lot, and the consequences will be serious."

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were calm as usual, he looked at Zhou Yingqiu and said, "Zhou Shangshu, what can you do?"

Zhou Yingqiu was also thinking about ways along the way, but more than 100 people "applied for leave" at once, and the number is still increasing. This is no longer a simple filling.There should be no delay in government affairs. If you want to solve it, you still have to let those Donglin Party members come back as soon as possible.

However, it was obviously impossible. He raised his hand to Zhu Xu, and said with a stern expression: "Back to the emperor, the officials will start to fill in, and there should be no problem supporting the three. However, King Xin is the Prime Minister of Government Affairs, and he is in charge of six ministries and nine temples. Today, there are six ministries. Officials of the Jiuqing 'dismissed', this responsibility lies with Wenzhao Pavilion, please punish King Xin first!"

As soon as Zhou Yingqiu's words came out, the whole room was shocked and quiet.

Don't say that King Xin didn't make a big mistake, even if there was a big mistake, why do you, a courtier, persuade the emperor to kill his own brother? This will leave a stigma through the ages!

But those present were all Ming elites, who had been around the sea for many years, and soon came to their senses.

The biggest sustenance of the Donglin Party members is Zhu Youjian, and they are all counting on him. If Zhu Youjian is killed, the Donglin Party will be over no matter how powerful it is, and there is no hope!

And the only one who can persuade the Donglin Party is Zhu Youjian!

If Zhu Youjian can't die, then only the Donglin Party will "surrender" obediently!

Whether it was Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan, or Shen Yongmao and the others, they all looked at Zhou Yingqiu in surprise. This Minister of the Ministry of Officials has always been calm and calm, showing nothing, and there is a trick at the critical moment!

Zhu Xu also understood, nodded and smiled at Zhou Yingqiu approvingly, and said: "Well, Zhou Shangshu's strategy is very good, but don't worry, let them dance for a while, I want to see again."

Bi Ziyan glanced at Zhu Xu, and frowned deeply.He understood that the emperor's abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was true, but it was also a cover. He wanted to force out all the Donglin Party and clean it up at once without leaving any future troubles!

He quietly glanced at Sun Chengzong next to him, he felt that Zhu Xu was too anxious and should slow down a bit, otherwise there would be big trouble.

After all, Sun Chengzong was Zhu Xu's old man. He felt Bi Ziyan's eyes gave him a reassuring look.

Bi Ziyan was startled, then looked at Zhu Xu again, pondered and did not speak.Sun Chengzong is someone he trusts. This person is very similar to him. He does not get involved in party disputes. He is dedicated to state affairs. He has ability and vision. Since he is very calm, there must be reasons for it.

As for Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and the others couldn't speak, they knew Zhu Xu's thoughts very well.

It was very rare to have such a group of people, so Zhu Xu led the group of people to the side hall to discuss the state affairs seriously.

Inside and outside the capital, strong winds are blowing, and turbulent waves are like waves.

The Donglin party members were patient and did not go to the table for impeachment and resistance too much, but more and more people were "leaving for leave" from the six departments and nine temples.

All kinds of articles discussing whether to abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all over the streets, and ordinary people are discussing in the streets and alleys.

Some scholars also gathered quietly, looking in the direction of Donghua Gate.

Zhou Jiamo went out of the palace, and for two days in a row, family members of veteran officials from the Wanli Dynasty entered the palace to chat and chat with Old Concubine Liu, reminiscing about the past.

Enter Yang Lian's residence.

Yang Lian, Ye Xianggao, Han Huang, Miao Changqi, Zuo Guangdou, Gu Dazhang, Wei Dazhong, Fang Kezhuang, Zhou Zongjian, Zhou Chaorui and nearly a hundred people gathered together. "Lin Dian Jiang Lu", what they are fighting at this moment is not the eunuch party, but the imperial court, or the emperor Zhu Xu's abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhou Zongjian looked indignant, and said loudly: "At the beginning, I waited for more than 70 people to risk their lives to impeach Wei Xie, and now we are fighting against 'disorderly government' together. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

Zhou Chaorui had a straight figure and a resolute face, and said, "That's right, now that Donglin is all 'dismissed from government', the emperor will definitely give up the abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and return it to its original principles!"

Yuan Huazhong looked up at the crowd, and his voice was sonorous, and said: "We will appeal for the country, trace the source, even if we die a hundred times, we will not regret it!"

All present here have made generous speeches, with awe-inspiring righteousness, as if they were about to shed their blood and sacrifice their lives heroically!

After quite a while, Zuo Guangdou was able to intervene, saying: "Colleagues don't have to worry, according to the information I got from the palace, the emperor has been ignorant of politics for the past two days. The abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is inevitable!"

Wei Dazhong said: "There are only a few assistant ministers left in the six departments and nine temples. It has been delayed for two days. I predict that the emperor will definitely take it back in one day at most!"

Yang Lian listened silently there, feeling a sense of relief in his heart. Ever since Zhu Xu ascended the throne, he had never been at ease. This time, he could finally vent his anger!

Ye Xianggao, Han Huang and others were also smiling, no one could not compromise in this situation.

Such a huge country is not governed by the emperor or a few ministers!

Dongchang Prison.

Fan Jingwen faced Wang Wenyan, poured wine for him, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Wang's methods are really like ghosts and gods. The inner prison in the palace has already spread the news that the emperor will not abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Wang Wenyan was in a good mood while eating the food and wine. Since the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not dismiss him, it meant that the Donglin Party had won a big victory. Based on past experience, he was about to be released from prison!

Wang Wenyan was still very cautious, swallowed the food and wine, and said: "Before there is no clear order from the palace, don't take it lightly."

Fan Jingwen nodded, and said: "I know this, but this time, I want to ask, how to deal with the aftermath?"

Wang Wenyan also guessed it, and had a countermeasure long ago, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, just make a decree, and let people cancel the holiday, and find a few other people to call out of Beijing to vent their anger on the emperor. Then let Yang Dahong and others be quiet for a while, even if It's Jingcha, you have to be cautious, don't provoke the emperor again."

Fan Jingwen thought for a while, and said: "What I'm talking about is that Brother Wang will be released from prison in a few days, and then we will discuss it in detail. The Beijing inspection is of great importance and must not be handed over to others, especially eunuchs. party!"

Wang Wenyan's expression sank when he heard this sentence. The eunuch party is now very powerful. If he controls Jingcha again, even if Donglin escapes this crisis safely, he will not be able to overcome the eunuch Jingcha.
