None of these people were fledgling fools, they could understand the intentions of Fu, Zhou and the court, they listened patiently, and at the same time, they were also thinking about how each item of the "New Deal" could be "stablely" implemented.

Zhou Yingqiu's words fell, and after waiting for a while, Fu Changzong said again: "The situation in the southeastern coastal provinces is relatively complicated, especially in Yunnan. The emperor and the court do not require one-step completion. Everything can be done slowly, and a detailed plan should be drawn up. , to achieve the goal of 'political reform'..."

The three provinces of Huguang, Yunnan, and Guangxi are also relatively difficult, and the disaster situation is not weaker than that of the Southwest. Fortunately, the rich provinces near the south of the Yangtze River have strong imperial control and no major incidents will occur.

Compared with the two wealthy provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the "political reform" in these three provinces can be slower. Zhu Xu can't start a war against the entire Ming Dynasty at once.

Zhang Ruitu, Jiang Dejing and others did not speak. At this time, we must be cautious in our words and deeds. The emperor in the palace has not yet expressed his anger. No one knows when he will come down and who will be in trouble. The most important thing for them now is to leave safely. Beijing.

Not only Fu Changzong, but Zhou Yingqiu is doing it. The cabinet and other ministers are looking for other governors and governors. In this way of "drinking tea and chatting", they will dispel their grievances and put pressure on these governors and governors.

Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong were "chatting" with these governors and governors. A small official from the household department walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Fu Changzong's ear.

Fu Changzong looked down, and then remained silent.

Wei Zhongxian's actions were not deliberately hidden. Fu Changzong also had hands and eyes in the capital. Wei Zhongxian's discussion has not yet ended, and he has received wind from his side.

Fu Changzong was the person who knew Zhu Xu best. He guessed that he was planning a big event, but he didn't expect it to be this big!

Looking at Fu Changzong's expression, Zhou Yingqiu smiled at Jiang Dejing and the others: "Then let's stop here today. After two days, everything is settled, and everyone can leave Beijing."

The eyes of Jiang Dejing and the others lit up, and they quickly got up and said, "Thank you Zhou Shangshu, Fu Shangshu."

Zhou Yingqiu politely sent a few people out, and as soon as he came back, Fu Changzong said: "Wei Zhongxian is going to attack, this time, the world will be turned upside down..."

Zhou Yingqiu is the emperor's confidant in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact he is very clear in his heart, so he has always been cautious and measured, unlike Fu Changzong who has so many tricks and has not so many scruples, so now he does not know the specific situation, sat down and said: "Wei Zhongxian? What is he going to do?"

Fu Changzong looked solemn, and said: "He has more than 200 big and small officials in Beizhili in his hands, and hundreds of gentry are born among them, and they are already preparing to do it."

Zhou Yingqiu's face suddenly changed. These must be preliminary. Once Wei Zhongxian let go of his hands and feet, this number may be multiplied several times. All officials in Beizhili, including the six ministries and the cabinet, will be involved!

At the same time, Zhou Yingqiu suddenly realized that the silent emperor had already sharpened his sword and was just waiting for time.

"Go, enter the palace. Before the emperor leaves the palace, this matter must be brought under control, and Wei Zhongxian cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants!" Zhou Yingqiu said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yingqiu knew who Wei Zhongxian was and his methods. If he were to be let out, with the emperor as his backing, no one in the world would be able to control him!

Fu Changzong sat there without moving, the expression between his brows became more serious.

Zhou Yingqiu's eyes changed again, and he said, "Is there anything else?"

Fu Changzong hesitated to speak, with his ability and understanding of Zhu Xu, if it was only a day and a half, he might not be able to notice anything, but the emperor has been out of the palace for more than a day, how could he still not notice anything?

But since Zhu Xu left the capital early without telling the ministers, he must have his plan, Fu Changzong couldn't point it out, he pondered, and said: "I'm afraid the emperor will not let go of this matter easily, and we have to discuss it with the cabinet."

Fu Changzong's words were reasonable, but Zhou Yingqiu still vaguely sensed something, and said with unchanged expression: "Okay, let's go to the palace."

Both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts, and they left the household department and rushed to the palace.

The emperor's handwriting was getting bigger and bigger, and there were some things that even they couldn't understand, and they didn't even dare to agree. They struggled in their hearts, and all they could do was "not object."

The cabinet was re-established, and various channels and powers have not been completely reshaped. It was not until Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu expressed their intentions that Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong knew that the "emergency yamen" had started to "investigate the case".

Sun Chengzong frowned, and his heart was surging.

The reason why Wei Zhongxian was not liquidated was that Emperor Tianqi had a conversation with the current emperor before his death, and one of the sentences: "Being loyal and conscientious can be considered a major event" to protect him.

Today's emperor suppressed the officials with this sentence, and Wei Zhongxian was considered low-key in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Under the deliberate suppression and isolation of the officials, he was not very conspicuous. Many people ignored him.

But Sun Chengzong will never forget that he is also a member of the Donglin Party. If the thrilling persecution in the four years of Tianqi had not been deliberately maintained by the current emperor, he might not have survived until now!

"The emperor finally used him..." Sun Chengzong sighed inwardly.He was not surprised, the current emperor never did useless work, if Wei Zhongxian was useless, such a person would have died long ago.

Bi Ziyan looked calm. He really didn't know that Wei Zhongxian had done so many things in secret before, but he also had a premonition that the emperor would make a big move.

This big move shocked him - it was going to uproot the whole of Beizhili and turn it upside down!

The most surprising thing is that Lai Zongdao, Beizhili can say that if Jiangnan is turned upside down, it will be terrible, and the world will be in chaos!

"Can we keep this matter a secret?" Bi Ziyan asked.

Fu Changzong shook his head, and said: "Wei Zhongxian summoned the Ministry of Punishment, and the people from all yamen of the Supervisory Yuan, I'm afraid that everyone who should know will know about it soon."

Sun Chengzong raised his head fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Officials must move first and quickly mobilize manpower from all over the country. There must be no vacancy in Beizhili, and no opportunities for those who are interested!"

That is to say, there is no room for change in this matter, and we can only assist Wei Zhongxian, or in other words, deal with the aftermath of the emperor.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they understood Sun Chengzong's meaning, and fell silent involuntarily.

Sun Chengzong didn't give them a chance, and continued: "The Ministry of Punishment, the Governor's Council, and the Dali Temple must also be mobilized, especially the newspapers, they must be prepared to control public opinion, they must be one-sided to the court, and no one can be given a chance. Shuntian Mansion , the Criminal Department, and the Patrol Battalion must be on standby at any time, and there must be no gossip..."

Sun Chengzong's words made everyone tremble with fear, realizing that the horror of this matter would far exceed their imagination.

"The two battalions...why were they transferred?" Zhou Yingqiu asked suddenly.

This question stunned everyone present, and their expressions changed slightly.

Why are the two camps transferred for no reason?Did the emperor notice something?

There is a big event going to happen, it is impossible for the emperor not to know, why should he be transferred from the two camps to give chances to those who are interested?

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, feeling more and more uneasy in their hearts.

Northern Zhili is different from other provinces, there is no standing army, as long as two battalions defend the capital, Shuntian Prefecture has soldiers all over Northern Zhili, but it is still powerless to face such a complicated situation.

If there is chaos in Beizhili, the capital will be in danger!

Fu Changzong's heart was heavy, and he said with a normal face: "Isn't the patrol battalion going out for training every ten days? Maybe it can be used."

Everyone frowned, and everyone who involved military power had to be careful. The two battalions, other standing troops, and even the transfer of more than [-] soldiers and horses had to be strictly consulted for instructions, otherwise there would be a catastrophe!

The Patrol Battalion is to guard the capital, and it is impossible for anyone to pull it out to quell the chaos.

Sun Chengzong looked firm, and said: "We can do some deterrence, but if there is no attack, the patrol battalion must not act recklessly, and must not participate in the battle even if it happens right in front of us!"

Everyone was stunned, nodded and responded.

Military affairs are no small matter, especially the emperor's mind is unpredictable, there must be no deviation!

Chapter 592 Li Dingguo

As Wei Zhongxian was blatantly preparing to act, the cabinet staff became urgent, while arranging arrangements, while preparing to send the governors and governors of the provinces out of Beijing as soon as possible, so as to avoid further changes.

Soon, some politically sensitive people noticed that the atmosphere in the capital was changing, and they warned their family members and cronies to lock the door tightly and not to go out if there was nothing to do.

This is destined to be a big storm, few people dare to get involved!
