Domineering Daming

Han Huang also opened his eyes, and said: "The lower officials also think that we should slow down. These are the talents of my great Ming, so we can't take them lightly."

Prince Jing's face turned livid, and he finally understood why the emperor wanted to eliminate the Donglin Party. None of these people could truly serve the country, it was all for themselves!

King Lu sneered inwardly when he heard the words of the people in Donglin. This group of people is still ignorant of current affairs. It is obvious to all that the emperor wants to strictly rectify the officialdom. , and even more solidarity with the newly suppressed Donglin Party, how could Jingyang Palace tolerate it?

Slow down?

However, this is also a good opportunity for him to cater to his wishes!

King Lu sat upright, looked at King Jing, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, the restoration of the society has been in the limelight these few days. It has spread all over the country. Not only scholars have joined the society enthusiastically, but also officials have joined! Not to mention the violation of the court law, even beat The imperial court ordered officials to forcibly expel them, such evil deeds must not be tolerated, they should be suppressed as thunder, and strictly prevented from becoming a prairie fire!"

Chapter 404 Dong Lin Objects

As soon as King Lu's words came out, some people felt fearful. It would be unimaginable if the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River followed suit!

Others thought that if the "Nine Articles" were to be strictly enforced, the scholars all over the world would probably all resist, and that would be the real big deal!

After listening to King Lu's words, King Jing frowned again. Suddenly, he slapped the gavel and said in an irrefutable tone: "Immediately promulgate the 'Nine Regulations' to the world, and at the same time reiterate that all associations, Those who form a party should immediately disband and quit! Otherwise, the imperial examination will be banned, and the court will never use it!"

Those who seemed to be asleep, drowsy, and wandering in the sky, were all awakened one after another, and looked at Prince Jing with wide eyes.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty have a tradition of being famous and not dying, starting with Fang Xiaoru, and passed down from generation to generation to the present.Especially scholars at this time would rather risk their lives for fame.

If the imperial court promulgated these "Nine Articles", I am afraid that Jiangnan, which was originally not peaceful, will become a rebellion all over the world.

Yang Lian looked shocked, the words "prohibition of imperial examinations, never to be used" hit him hard in the heart.This Fushe is imitating Donglin. What is the difference between not using Fushe and not using Donglin Party?

He frowned, glanced at Ye Xianggao, Han Huang, and the others, and said to King Jing in a deep voice: "My lord, the officials are against it! Scholars have been in the cold for ten years, and the association is only to review the gains and losses of the court. Why is the imperial examination banned forever?" Do not use '?"

Ye Xianggao was also worried about causing dissatisfaction among the Jiangnan scholars, so he hugged his stomach and said, "My lord, this matter cannot be done so recklessly. If this order continues, the Jiangnan scholars will definitely not agree to it, and it will cause a big disturbance. Please slow down!"

Ye Xianggao was extremely uncomfortable saying the word "Xiaguan", but he still had to say it.

Zhou Qiyuan, Huang Zunsu and others all spoke one after another, asking Prince Jing to "slow down", or even directly "no".

There are more than 20 members of the Donglin Party in the Governor's Council, and they all spoke up, and it took a long time to talk about it.

The others were silent, King Jing fled too fast, and he didn't have any allies yet, let alone this kind of thing that offended the scholars of the world.

In this way, the Donglin Party appears quite powerful.

Fortunately, the Governor's Council does not have the rule of "the minority obeys the majority". Prince Jing looked at the members of the Donglin Party and said with a somber face, "This discussion has passed, and there is no reason to repent! This king will go to Wenzhao Pavilion in the future, please believe me." The king promulgated it, and made it known to the world. This king's ugly words are at the beginning, this is the court law, if someone willfully violates it, disrespects and does not abide by it, this king will definitely ask the emperor to remove all official positions, fame, and go to prison for crimes!"

As soon as Prince Jing said this, everyone, especially the members of the Donglin Party, were startled. This Prince Jing was not a good old man like Prince Ping, who would not fool around and let things go. Speaking of it, it will be worse!

Most importantly, King Jing is now standing on the commanding heights of morality and "justice", and their opposition cannot be so justified.

After King Jing finished speaking, he glanced around, stood up expressionlessly, and said, "The meeting is adjourned!" Before he finished speaking, he walked out of the meeting hall and went straight to Wenzhao Pavilion.

Ye Xianggao, Yang Lian and the others frowned, with embarrassing expressions on their faces. They have no power and power now, so they can only talk here, but once the "Nine Points" are revealed, it will definitely cause an uproar in the world!

Except for King Jin and King Lu, the other princes also held the mentality of "doing nothing". As soon as King Jing left, they got up one after another and left one after another, leaving only the members of the Donglin Party.

Ye Xianggao, Han Huang and the others all had sullen faces, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

They wanted to stop it, but there was nothing they could do.The Donglin Party has completely lost power and has no power. Most importantly, the emperor in the palace hates the Donglin Party, and no matter how many memorials they publish, it will not help.

And King Xin, whom they placed high hopes on, could not help at all in this kind of matter.

"We must find a way!" Yang Lian stood up suddenly, almost screaming.

Ye Xianggao, Han Huang, Huang Zunsu and the others also got up and left Wucheng Pavilion one after another with cold expressions. They needed to find a way, sex with prostitutes and being with prostitutes was no longer important. "Association and party formation" was the focus of their concern.

King Jing entered Wenzhao Pavilion, and King Xin warmly received him, and the two chatted happily.

King Xin has to use the Governor's Council to appoint officials, and the Governor's Council to exercise certain powers.Prince Jing also needs to rely on Wenzhao Pavilion to implement various "laws" passed by the Governor's Council, and the two hit it off.

After staying in Wenzhao Pavilion for less than half an hour, Prince Jing walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion with piercing eyes as he walked.

With the Governor's Council in hand and great power in his hands, his ambition is slowly expanding.

He was followed by an eunuch who didn't look very old, less than 30 years old. This was the eunuch of the Chengfeng Department of the former Jingjiang Palace, named Wang Chao. He looked at Prince Jing's heels and followed step by step.

Prince Jing originally wanted to go back to Wucheng Pavilion, but suddenly turned to the direction of Jingyang Palace.

When Prince Jing made a move, Wang Chao hurriedly said, "My lord is going to the imperial study?"

King Jing was still thinking about it, and subconsciously said: "Well, I want the emperor to give me the power to purge the Governor's Council." King Jing also felt disgusted by the constraints of the Donglin Party.

Wang Chao glanced around, approached and said in a low voice, "My lord, instead of asking the emperor for power, it's better for you to establish yourself."

Prince Jing paused, turned his head and glanced at him, and said, "How do you establish your prestige?"

Wang Chao bowed his head and said, "My lord, the 'Nine Articles' are the best way to establish your prestige."

Prince Jing's expression changed, and then his heart throbbed, and he came to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "I understand. Go back to the mansion. In addition, call those adults. It's time for them to make meritorious deeds!"

Only then did Wang Chao secretly heave a sigh of relief, and replied: "Yes."

At this moment, in the imperial study, Zhu Xu encountered trouble again.

Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi, said that the disaster situation in Shaanxi is getting worse and worse, and the civil unrest is increasing. Even if there is enough food, it can't be relieved, and it seems to be a prairie fire.

More than that, the chief envoys in Sichuan, Huguang and other places also reported that before the summer grain arrived, it was already foreseeable that there would be a large-scale reduction in production, and even some places were dry for thousands of miles, doomed to no harvest.

These are not causing trouble for Zhu Xu, but a real problem.

The area involved is too wide and the disaster is serious, relying solely on the strength of the government cannot provide relief. Once civil unrest occurs, in the huge Shaanxi area, it can be said that there will be an overwhelming response, and even the governor's office can't handle it.But if Hong Chengchou's loyal army is used, the situation will inevitably rise to another level and cause even greater incidents.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a long while, staring at the playbooks, and whispered to himself: "It seems that the government cannot rely on the government for disaster relief, but without the suppression of the government, the civil unrest will get out of control..."

This is an extremely troublesome matter. It is okay to say that a Shaanxi can only be said to send additional manpower, but if it spreads all over the Ming Dynasty, the manpower and material resources used are unimaginable. It is definitely a huge and complicated system project.

Zhu Xu thought for a long time, but there was no good solution. Fortunately, he had money and food, and he had confidence. He thought about it and said: "Send these memorials to Wenzhao Pavilion, let King Xin do it, and give him 200 million shi of grain Right, one million taels of silver."

Cao Huachun also knew Zhu Xu's difficulties these days, so he responded and turned around to leave.

Zhu Xu hoped that King Xin could help him, thought for a while and said: "Has Wei Zhongxian come?"

Liu Shimin turned around and said: "Go back to the emperor, he is already waiting outside the door."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Let him come in."

"Yes." Liu Shimin bowed slightly and gestured to the inner prisoner by the door.

The inner eunuch bowed, turned around and walked out quickly.

Not long after, Wei Zhongxian quickly walked into the imperial study room, bowed and said, "Your Majesty sees you."
