Domineering Daming

The girl stared ahead, looked at the front of the convoy, and said indifferently: "Yes."

Cao Bianjiao took another serious look at the girl, without saying a word, walked around the horse's head and sat on the other side of her.

The carriage did not move. In the carriage, the young man was sitting on the main seat, looking out of the window, frowning all the time, with a look of impatience on his face.

Zhu Xu sat on the side, and said without words: "Are you also going to Tianjin Wei?"

The young man didn't move at all, and ignored him.

Zhu Xu blinked, and said again: "There are not many people in Tianjin Wei now, are you going to visit relatives?"

Tianjin Wei is still a combined waterway military base now, but with the elimination of the threat of Liaodong, the strategic position of Tianjin Wei and Dengzhou Navy disappeared, which seemed irrelevant in the minds of courtiers.

The garrison of Tianjin Wei was basically transferred and integrated into Beizhili and Shandong at all levels. Most of the remaining troops are reclaiming wasteland and accepting disaster victims.Of course, there are still some who are staying at the pier to build a defensive position to prevent the enemy from landing here and approaching the capital.

This statement came from Zhu Xu, and it was somewhat "ridiculous" in the hearts of the courtiers.

The young man turned his head, glanced at Zhu Xu up and down, and said calmly: "I don't like talking, you'd better be quiet on the way."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, even if he felt a little embarrassed, he touched his nose resentfully, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The girls outside seemed to be used to it, but Cao Bianjiao's face changed several times. In the whole Ming Dynasty, in the whole world, how many people dare to talk to the emperor like that?

It's just that Zhu Xu didn't speak, so he didn't act arbitrarily.

The convoy was busy, loading and unloading from time to time, it seemed extremely lively, and there was no intention of starting immediately in a short time.

Zhu Xu leaned on the box wall, while looking at the boy boredly, while thinking about things in the capital.

The reason why he left Beijing in such a hurry was firstly because he wanted to come out and have a look, and secondly because he wanted to go early and return early, but the most important thing was that he had to leave as soon as possible. Time, free your hands.

Once Wei Zhongxian takes action, he will become a "disguised" constraint in the capital, and the ministers will continue to set up obstacles for Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian will be restrained.But if he is not in the capital, the imperial court will not have the confidence to restrain Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian will push forward the established plan without any scruples.

Zhu Xu exhaled lightly and opened his eyes.

The world is unpredictable, I never thought that he would one day become an obstacle to reform.

The young man felt uncomfortable being scrutinized by Zhu Xu, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you have nothing to do, go to bed, anyway, the road is still long."

Only then did Zhu Xu concentrate on looking at him, the young man, smiled and said, "I'm still waiting for someone, and you're boring to see, let's chat." Zhu Xu is a person who can't be idle, let him It's unbearable to stare blankly at someone in the carriage, not to mention, he also wants to know about the outside world.

The boy's chest heaved and he frowned, then he lowered his head and closed his eyes, and said, "Don't talk, I want to sleep."

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched, and he smiled hotly on his face.

It is really unbearable for some things to form a habit, because others ignore me, and I actually feel angry in my heart.

"You can't be separated from the masses, you can't be lonely, you can't be too cold..."

Zhu Xu secretly woke up, if that day really came, he would probably go crazy.

The young man lowered his head, wondering if he was pretending to be asleep, but he really didn't want to talk to Zhu Xu.

It didn't take long before Wei Zhongxian found him. He was dressed in fine clothes, although he didn't wear a boa robe, but he looked like a distinguished old man.

He looked at the ordinary carriage without changing his expression, and walked over bowing from a distance.

Cao Bianjiao made a gesture, and then said to the inside: "My lord, Mr. Wei is here."

Zhu Xuzheng was embarrassed, and said: "Okay." He opened the curtain and jumped off the carriage.

Just as Wei Zhongxian was about to salute, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk."

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and followed behind Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu came to a piece of wasteland, looked at the farmland in the distance, and said with his hands behind his back: "How are you getting ready?"

Wei Zhongxian bowed and said: "Go back to the emperor, everything is ready, Jin Yiwei has also transferred a lot of evidence, the servants have already mobilized their manpower, and they are ready to do things at any time."

Zhu Xu nodded and narrowed his eyes.

Since the third year of Chongzhen, Zhu Xu has been asking Wei Zhongxian to take care of the case, and it has been more than three years.The capital is also the place where officials from all over the world gather, and it is the heart of Ming Dynasty, connecting the whole world. If there is a large-scale movement, the whole world will be terrified.

Daming's fields, economy, culture, and even politics are all controlled by the gentry class. If they can't be attacked, Zhu Xu's mighty reform has actually failed from the very beginning.

It can be said that if the gentry class is not moved, the chronic disease of Ming Dynasty cannot be eradicated. Even if Zhu Xu can barely cross the small glacier, the surrounding area can be calmed down, but this "sickness" is still there, and Daming will come back sooner or later, and face the same problem again. incurable.

But overseas, it was the age of great voyages, followed by the vigorous industrial revolution, but Daming was still going through an endless loop!

How could Zhu Xu allow such a situation to happen? No matter what the reason is, a thorough reform must be done, and no one can stop it!

Zhu Xu was heartbroken, and after a while, he said calmly: "I know, there are rumors outside the palace that I want to clean up the eunuchs, depose Xu Dahua, and say that the East Factory will be closed. Wu Chunfu is now in the Taipu Temple, transfer him to Dali Temple Minister, and you go to pass the decree yourself."

Wu Chunfu is a hardcore member of the eunuch party. He was originally the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, but he was rejected and transferred to Taipu Temple.

Among the six ministries and nine monasteries, Dali Temple has the most power and position. After reform, it is even comparable to the Ministry of Punishment. Its status is extraordinary and not ordinary people can hold office.

Wei Zhongxian was shocked, he did not expect that the emperor would suddenly give him such a heavy "grace", he knelt down and said: "My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness, this servant will never betray the trust of the emperor!"

Zhu Xu nodded, and said: "It's good that you know it in your heart. You should know the importance of this matter to me and Daming. Therefore, any case must be well-founded and can stand the scrutiny of others. Question, there will be a public trial at Dali Temple, you can’t leave a story for others, Dali Temple’s newspaper should also be prepared, and the case must be clearly and clearly told to the world, torture, inducement, framing, etc. are not allowed..."

Wei Zhongxian knew that his past experience was not good, and he knew the importance of the emperor's words even better. He knelt on the ground until Zhu Xu spoke, and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, this servant will definitely not give anyone a chance to gossip!"

Zhu Xu shook his head and said: "You guys are perfect, and you can't stop others from spreading rumors. The capital should pay attention to see if there are those people who are making trouble, dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, and deal with it according to the laws of Ming Dynasty..."

"The servants obey the order." Wei Zhongxian said.

Zhu Xu looked into the distance, and said in a still calm voice: "Summer food is coming soon, Beizhili is going to show the world this time, it must be done as soon as possible, and the report will be sent to Jinyiwei. I will check it from time to time..."

Wei Zhongxian still knelt on the ground and said, "Yes."

The reason why Zhu Xu wanted to bring Wei Zhongxian in to explain it again was that he was worried that this matter would become an excuse for the gentry all over the world to attack the court and the emperor.

The Southwest has just stabilized. If the gentry are given an excuse to make them rebound strongly, the Southwest may really turn into a bottomless pit of quagmire. This is something no one wants to see!

Chapter 586

Zhu Xu turned his head and glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and said again: "You are only investigating the case, don't get involved in other things, other government affairs, taxation, etc. have cabinets, six departments, Shuntian Mansion to do it, don't interfere, you can't mention a word, you know ?"

Wei Zhongxian was cautious, and said: "This servant knows."

Zhu Xu turned around again, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

Beizhili is the first one, but he hasn't decided on the second one yet.

Shandong is relatively stable, while Shanxi and Henan are a little more chaotic. Once it starts, the situation may not develop in the direction he thought.Zhu Xu can control the world in general, but when it comes to the bottom, Zhu Xu is often helpless and has to rely on local officials to do it.

Wei Zhongxian looked up at Zhu Xu's back, saw that he had been silent for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, is there any scope for this investigation?"
