Domineering Daming

Jing Zhengchao is a beginning, but also a farewell, a farewell to the past, which means that those people and things in the past will be cleaned up.

As the regent of Emperor Tianqi's posthumous photo, King Xin bears the brunt of it!

According to the emperor's temperament, as long as King Xin stood in his carriage and followed him, there would be a proper arrangement.But Xin Wang didn't, he and Donglin's old thinking habitually pushed him to oppose the emperor and became a stumbling block for the emperor.

How can the emperor tolerate it!

Zhou Yingqiu folded his hands behind his back and watched quietly, his mind full of thoughts.

The downfall of King Xin also marked the complete end of Donglin's power in the imperial court and in Daming!

The end of an era!

"Master, are we going to meet King Xin like this?"

The servant behind Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhou Yingqiu in ordinary clothes and said.It's rude to see a prince like this.

Zhou Yingqiu smiled faintly, and said: "I'm willing to come now to show him face, and I'm afraid I won't come again in the future."

The servant was stunned for a moment, and then he was startled.

Zhou Yingqiu entered Prince Xin's Mansion smoothly, and all the way to the lobby, he saw a very strange scene from afar.

Zhu Youjian was holding a child in his arms, and there were two standing beside him. His concubine Zhou, and side concubines Tian and Li were all standing behind him, looking at Zhou Yingqiu from afar.

Zhou Yingqiu's pupils shrank slightly, he stepped forward without moving, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty has met King Xin and Concubine Wang."

Zhu Youjian's face was calm, even with a smile on the corner of his mouth, teasing the third son in his arms, without raising his head, he said: "Well, excuse me."

Zhou Yingqiu got up and looked around again. Princess Zhou was calm, the other two side concubines were trembling a little, and the faces of the two standing children turned pale.The child in Zhu Youjian's arms giggled happily.

Zhou Yingqiu was stunned, Wang Xin was expressing his will to die, and he said calmly, "My lord, have you figured it out?"

Zhu Youjian paused, looked up at Zhou Yingqiu, and said indifferently: "What does the emperor plan to do with me? Kill? Imprison? Or exile?"

Zhou Yingqiu said: "It seems that the lord still hasn't figured it out, I'd better wait for the lord to figure it out before coming." As he spoke, he turned around.

Zhu Youjian watched him turn around, walk out of the lobby, and remained still until Zhou Yingqiu stepped down the last step, his expression changed slightly: "Wait!"

Zhou Yingqiu paused, turned around, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Is there any other orders from the lord?"

Zhu Youjian's face darkened, and he said after a long time: "This king has a few questions for you."

Zhou Yingqiu looked thoughtful, then walked back and said, "Excuse me, my lord."

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhou Yingqiu, his eyes flashed with struggle, and said: "This king wants to know, why does the emperor have to imprison the clan?"

Zhou Yingqiu was slightly stunned, and said: "My lord, you haven't figured this out until now?"

Zhu Youjian frowned, and said: "The emperor wants to take back the land of the clan? There are other ways, why must it be so drastic?"

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhu Youjian, and sighed softly in his heart, he came today to do ideological work for Zhu Youjian, so he could only say: "My lord, it's not just as simple as the fields, the imperial family is the biggest harm to the imperial court in the eyes of the emperor." , the occupied fields, the salary that keeps increasing every year, domineering on the ground, King Ping, King Rui and others actually have no land to seal... It is inconvenient for other officials to say."

Zhu Youjian's expression did not change. He did not expect that the clan, regarded as the pillar of the royal family, was actually "the number one evil" in the eyes of the emperor!

"Then Donglin? Donglin is a loyal and upright man for the country and the people. Why did the emperor want to kill him?" Zhu Youjian said again.This is a hurdle he has been unable to get over, or it can be said that many scholars in Daming are stuck in their hearts.

Zhou Yingqiu frowned, and suddenly realized that no matter what the court said, no matter how much it was publicized in the court newspaper, the deep-rooted thoughts of the people in the world would be hard to change in a short time. The King Xin who was in the center thought the same way, let alone other people.

While thinking about countermeasures, Zhou Yingqiu replied, "Party struggle."

Zhu Youjian frowned again, feeling dissatisfied in his heart. With just two simple words, he ordered such a big killing ring to completely wipe out Donglin from the court?

Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Yingqiu and said, "Why do you want to collect taxes from the gentry?"

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhu Youjian, knowing that this person really couldn't go back, so he said in a casual tone, "The gentry is similar to the clan, but the gentry is bigger and expands faster than the clan. I have done some calculations, and according to the current speed, Daming will not even be able to pay the salaries of hundreds of officials in 30 years..."

This statement is obviously not convincing to Zhu Youjian. In his opinion, the gentry is bigger than the clan, a firm force, the imperial court, and the most fundamental place for the Zhu family to control the world. The imperial court collects taxes from them. Let the emperor, let the court lose the hearts of the people, and fight against the people of the world!

This is suicidal!

Zhou Yingqiu knew that Zhu Youjian would not be able to turn the corner for a while, and those who had already turned around were either the old people around the emperor who were under the influence of their ears, or the other wave was in the middle, struggling to obey orders, most of them still couldn't understand The emperor, the imperial court's policy is so important that, like the king of faith, he relentlessly resists.

This is not something that can be persuaded in a few sentences, it requires a process of common understanding.

Zhou Yingqiu decided to publish more newspapers in the future and have more heart-to-heart talks with the officials of the provinces.For many people, the New Deal came very suddenly, and full acceptance requires a sufficient buffer.

Zhou Yingqiu found out Zhu Youjian's thoughts, raised his hand and said, "My lord, are you going to retire in the capital? Just a feudal clan? After thinking about it, send someone to notify the lower officials to leave."

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhou Yingqiu's back, his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters. He didn't get anything from Zhou Yingqiu, but was disturbed by his word "Jiufan".

"Jiu Fan? What does this mean?"

Chapter 557 Minting coins

After all, Zhu Xu didn't sleep for two hours, washed up, rubbed his face and went to the imperial study.

After listening to the whole process of Zhou Yingqiu's meeting with Zhu Youjian, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "You mean, officials all over the world don't agree or understand the New Deal enough?"

Zhou Yingqiu's face was slightly solemn, and he said in deep thought: "It's not that it's not enough, but that they have resistance in their hearts and don't want to accept it, so they don't want to understand it. Even if there is a spur from the court, they don't want to go one step further."

Zhu Xu understood the meaning of Zhou Yingqiu's words. His reform was very sudden. The entire Ming Dynasty was not prepared for it. Now that the thinking is fixed or even rigid, it will take time even if it is reasonable. What's more, this reform seems very "Outrageous".

"How's the government affairs class over at the Royal Political Council?" Zhu Xu said.

Zhou Yingqiu said: "Because of being interrupted repeatedly, it didn't go well, and the emperor intends to purge the low-level officials. I plan to start this year. Beijing officials can slow down, and provincial officials will come to Beijing for training in turn. It is tentatively scheduled for three years. months."

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, and thought about it: "Let's start classes in the provincial governments, starting with officials in the provinces. After a while, the government can also start. It's time for innovation and innovation."

After several years of running-in, the New Deal has become more and more perfect, and the curriculum and teaching team have matured day by day. It is time to spread it out.

Zhou Yingqiu thought about it for a while, and said: "Yes, the Ministry of Officials has this plan. In addition, I also want the Ministry of Officials to prepare a newspaper, which is specially used to introduce the new policy and the government affairs of the Ministry of Officials, and to clarify the confusion of scholars all over the world."

Zhu Xu's heart moved, and he said with a smile, "That's a good idea. Let's set up a newspaper for each of the six ministries, named after the six ministries, and then hand over those from the Ministry of Rites to the cabinet."

Zhou Yingqiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The Emperor Shengming, the newspaper of the cabinet, I think it should be named: Jingzheng Chaobao."

Zhu Xu looked at him and smiled, but didn't touch his little thoughts.Fingers tapped on the table continuously, and the crisp sound of horseshoes continued.

For Ming Dynasty to enter a new era, the guidance of public opinion is very important, and there is still time to snatch and control it.

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhu Xu, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, I wonder if there is anyone in the Emperor's mind?"

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, although Ruan Dacheng's incident came suddenly, he has been doing talent reserves all the time, he thought for a while, and said: "Shen Xun is appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Chen Qiyu is appointed as Governor of Shuntian Mansion."

Zhou Yingqiu raised his hand without the slightest hesitation, and said: "Observe the order. I will have an interview with Eunuch Cao, Lord Bi, Lord Sun, and King Jing together with the two lords."

Zhu Xu nodded. These five people represented the Supervisor of Ceremonies, or he could be said to be the emperor, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong was the cabinet, Zhou Yingqiu was the Ministry of Officials, and King Jing was the Supervisory Council.
