Domineering Daming

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other, feeling helpless in their hearts.

This is not the result they want. It is not known how much the words of these adults are sincere. Under such circumstances, can this policy really be implemented smoothly?How effective will it be?

Apart from this matter, there is no need to discuss anything else, Bi Ziyan said: "In this case, Sun Ge and I will go back to the emperor, and you can go back first."

From the beginning to the end, Lai Zongdao and Zhang Woxu were not qualified to speak, and both of them knew it from the bottom of their hearts, and never interrupted.

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu glanced at each other, stood up and walked out silently.

It happened so suddenly that they were not prepared at all.

In the Wucheng Pavilion, only Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong remained.

Sun Chengzong shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "If it is postponed for another three to five years, the matter may be easier to handle, but the emperor is still impatient after all."

Bi Ziyan didn't think so, and said with a sullen face and eyes of thought: "If the disaster this time is really as the Qin Tianjian said, it will last for four or five years, and it depends on how the situation will be after that, then, Your Majesty What I did today is probably a precautionary measure..."

Sun Chengzong was stunned, thoughtful, and immediately said: "If this is the case, it is true that the arrangement should be made early, but the people of the world may not think so. Once this article comes out, it will be enough to shock the whole world, and everyone in the sea will be shocked."

The two looked at each other again, and Bi Ziyan said: "Let's go, and discuss with the emperor again."

The two left Wenzhao Pavilion, turned around and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

At this moment, Zhu Xu is no longer in Jingyang Palace, but in Qianqing Palace.

On the Yuntai, Zhu Xu, Concubine Liu, Li Jieyu, and others stood in a row of Li Sizhong and other people who had established slavery and returned to obedience.

The old concubine sat at the lower left of Zhu Xu, looked at Li Sizhong and other Li family members, and said with a smile on her face: "General Li is my pillar of Ming Dynasty. He has guarded Liaodong for more than 40 years. ..."

Li Sizhong and the others stood there bowed, submissive, trembling in their hearts.

The fact that the emperor delayed summoning them for so long not only meant that the emperor didn't want to see them, but the whole court didn't want to see them either.

Li Jieyu sat on Zhu Xu's right hand, wearing a lady's palace dress, as if he was a member of the harem.Her expression was calm, and she didn't look like she wanted to speak for her family.

Zhu Xu looked at a few people and said with a smile, "Don't be restrained. You are all creditors for calming Liaodong this time. I plan to go south next year, and you all have to protect me."

Li Sizhong and others quickly raised their hands and said: "I will obey the order."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, and said: "Well, the rewards that should be given will be rewarded together in the next year. Whether it is an official or a soldier, I support it. If you have any ideas, you can also mention them to me now."

Li Sizhong and others didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, they hurriedly said: "The capital is prosperous, and the ministers are old, and they would like to cultivate in the capital."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "I'm not a stingy emperor, how about this, I allocated all your tribes in Liaodong to you, and the bandits that the imperial court suppressed in the southwest, also allocated to you, a total of 5 people, When the time comes, go south with me, Annan, I plan to clean up, and you will help me."

Chapter 531

Li Sizhong and the others all lowered their heads, extremely vigilant in their hearts.

The emperor in front of him is a person who cannot be guessed, and one wrong sentence may be a disaster.

Does the emperor's words have other meanings? Is it to confine them in the capital, or is it really safe to use them?

Several thoughts flew through Li Sizhong's mind, he raised his hand and said: "I will wait for the emperor's order."

Zhu Xu hummed, and said, "That's good. Don't slack off when you go back. You often go to the Western Jing camp to learn new strategies of war. I hope you don't let me down."

"Observe the order." This group of people were all respectful and careful, not daring to be careless at all.

Liu Shimin came in from the outside and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Your Majesty, Mr. Bi, Mr. Sun Ge is asking to see you in the imperial study."

Zhu Xu nodded, stood up and looked at the old concubine and said, "Taufei, please sit down a little longer."

Concubine Liu seemed very happy to see Li Sizhong and others, she waved her hands and said, "Your Majesty, go, I am here."

Zhu Xu smiled at Li Jieyu again, and quickly left the Yuntai.

This can be regarded as his deliberate "neglect" towards Li Sizhong and others, to calm down the dissatisfaction within the imperial court.

Li Sizhong and others felt uneasy, worried that the emperor or the Ming court would settle accounts after autumn.

Fortunately, the Old Concubine Liu and Li Jieyu were here, and Li Sizhong felt a little relieved from the bottom of his heart, so he was not afraid.

When Zhu Xu came to Jingyang Palace, Cao Huachun ran out in a hurry, handed over a note, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Li Jingbai and others have been killed, and Li Yan is nowhere to be found."

Zhu Xu's face changed slightly, and he took the note and glanced at it. This is Jin Yiwei's urgent performance, and the content is not much, so we can't see the details from it.

With a solemn expression, he entered the imperial study room, and without waiting for Sun Chengzong, he bowed solemnly and said directly: "Li Jingbai and others were all killed."

Both Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked shocked. Over the years of the Ming Dynasty, few governors were killed, especially when the emperor was still in charge. The big mouth of Liaodong's victory, I am afraid that not only the emperor, but all the officials in the world will not give up easily!

Knowing that the emperor was in a rage, Bi Ziyan immediately said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, regarding the countermeasures for Shaanxi and other six southwestern provinces, I have already sorted out the measures. Please have your Majesty take a look."

Cao Huachun quickly took it and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy look on his face.

Shaanxi is the focus of the court's attention, and the most effort has been devoted to it, but the governor was taken away so easily and then killed in a grand manner. This is not a provocation, it is simply declaring war on the court and the emperor!

He glanced over, and Bi Ziyan and others revised his proposal to make it "more reasonable".

Zhu Xu sneered from the bottom of his heart, he was still too gracious to the Southwest, and the court was too lenient, looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "I will let Jin Yiwei find out about this matter, just do as you say, I will order it The cabinet issued an imperial edict. Also, set the date for the officials to enter Beijing. In early April, I will leave Beijing and go south!"

Both Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan felt the emperor's anger, but they still had to be persuaded. Sun Chengzong said: "If the emperor goes south from the palace, it will have a huge impact and waste a lot of money. I ask the emperor to think twice."

Bi Ziyan said: "Your Majesty, there must be no Emperor sitting in the capital, and you can send imperial envoys to patrol the south of the Yangtze River."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me any more. Order Li Banghua to enter Shaanxi quickly and clean it up severely, so that there will be no more troubles in the southwest!"

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan's hearts were heavy. The emperor's going out of the palace was not a trivial matter. Even though he was going to the south of the Yangtze River, it made them worried. They were even more worried that the emperor had other purposes for his trip!

However, today is obviously not a good time to ask the emperor, so I can only raise my hand and say, "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chair, took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered.Li Jingbai's incident was beyond his expectation, and it's hard to say what changes it would bring to Southwest.

However, Cao Huachun knew that the emperor could not wait to go south at this time, and he probably wanted to go to Shaanxi as soon as possible.

"Let's go to the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Xu suddenly stood up and said.

Cao Huachun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded and went to make arrangements.

Zhu Xu, dressed in casual clothes, took Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Huachun walked towards the Ministry of Rites after leaving the palace.

Yuan Keli has just taken over the Ministry of Rites, and there are too many things to be familiarized with and to do. He is currently checking all the information about the Chaobao.

Wen Tiren stood next to Yuan Keli, with a proud expression on his face, and said with a smile: "My lord, this court newspaper is becoming more and more important to the Ministry of Rites and the imperial court. The emperor also attaches great importance to it, and the lower officials have never slack off."

Yuan Keli watched quietly, nodded from time to time, and said: "That's right, the emperor talked to me about this a few days ago. He once said that 'Party struggle will bring disaster to the country. If you want to get rid of party struggle, you will be the disaster of the Ming Dynasty'." The weapon of disaster!"
