Domineering Daming

"Yes." The maid said.

Not long after Zhu Xu left, a group of people entered Tai'an.

"My minister sees the emperor."

Wu Xiang, the Shandong general, knelt down beside Zhu Xu's carriage, and said half-kneeling.

Zhu Xu got down from the carriage, waved his hands and said with a smile, "Excuse me, let me be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Xiang stood up and said.

Zhu Xu got out of the carriage, looked around, and said, "No one else knows I'm here, right?"

Wu Xiang said: "Back to the emperor, only the minister knows, the others don't."

Zhu Xu nodded. Wu Xiang brought 2000 people, which should be enough to protect her.After thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at Cao Bianjiao and said, "What have you found?"

"Return to the emperor." Cao Bianjiao said: "Shandong lied about the disaster situation, defrauded the imperial court for disaster relief, reduced taxes, and the household department knew about it, deliberately withholding disaster relief money and food, and embezzling it for other purposes."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, a simple sentence contained endless information, and he had to ponder it for a while before he could understand it.

Chapter 620

After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, he handed a text to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu opened it and looked at it, the content is quite concise: Tai'an Mansion, the first year of Jingzheng, there was a severe drought, please reduce the tax by [-]%, the date is the first year of Jingzheng, February.

"The Prophet..."

Zhu Xu frowned, and couldn't help laughing. This Tai'an Mansion had predicted a severe drought at the beginning of the year, and the extent of the drought, so he wrote a memorial in advance and was ready to submit it at any time.

He also probably understood why Fu Changzong withheld money and food for disaster relief. Fu Changzong knew that the people below were deceiving the court, but the world is so big that there is no way to verify and verify them one by one. The only way is to stabilize the place and live in peace.

On this matter, Fu Changzong could not be right, but if he corrected his mistakes, it would appear that he, the emperor, was too harsh and could not understand the sincere heart of the courtiers for the country.

Fortunately, the "political reform" has passed, and Zhu Xu can drastically cleanse the middle and lower classes.

"Let's go to Jinan, I want to see the military appearance of the Yingyang Army!" Zhu Xu put away the text and said lightly.

Wu Xiang raised his hand and said, "My minister obeys the order!"

As soon as he took a step, Zhu Xu said again: "Old Cao, you go to the boat. One thousand Shenji Battalion will follow me, and the rest will stand by."

"Follow the order!" Cao Bianjiao said without hesitation.

Cao Huachun looked slightly startled, and immediately said thoughtfully: "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu got into the carriage, and under the escort of two thousand soldiers from Shenjiying and Wu Xiang, he set off for Jinan.

Cao Huachun looked at the back of the army, his thoughtfulness just now suddenly became clear, without hesitation, he turned and returned, he was going to the fleet to continue to confuse everyone, and at the same time see if anyone would attack the "emperor" on board.

When Zhu Xu secretly entered the Yingyang Army, his secret decree finally entered the Sili Supervisor.

In the class room, Liu Shimin sat at the table, spread out the letters sent by Feige, looked at them one by one, and examined them carefully, his face became more and more serious.

Bi Ziyan went out of Beijing to inspect the river, Shen Yongmao went out of Beijing to supervise the whole army, and he wanted to go out of Shanhaiguan to comfort the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong.

That's the equivalent of... an empty cabinet!The Ministry of War is empty!The ceremonial supervisor is empty!

Liu Shimin felt thirsty. He had been in the palace for many years, experienced apocalypse in the Supervisor of Rituals, Chongzhen and Jingzheng dynasties, and was extremely sensitive to the court situation, especially Emperor Jingzheng, he was even more aware of it!

With such a decree, the whole of Beizhili will become hell!

Liu Shimin was always calm, but now his heart was beating violently, and cold sweat broke out on his head unbearably.

Holding these secret letters with trembling hands, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Not far behind him, an inner eunuch stood in the shadow beside the cabinet, with his head slightly lowered, silently, as if he didn't exist.

Liu Shimin was on his back like a light at this moment, although the eunuch didn't raise his head, he still felt it, and his heart shivered fiercely.

After a while, he wiped the sweat from his brow, and said solemnly: "Your servant obeys the order."

The inner eunuch bowed slightly to Liu Shimin, and quietly exited Liu Shimin's classroom.

Liu Shimin took a deep breath, took out a blank imperial decree, picked up a pen and began to write.

It didn't take long for the four imperial edicts to be written, and when the ink was dry, he got up and went to the imperial study room to seal it.

Feng Zhu, who was on shift in front of the imperial study, inspected it in detail. Under his watchful eyes, the seal was completed, and this was considered a complete imperial decree.

Bi Ziyan was the first to receive the order. When Liu Shimin left, he sat opposite Sun Chengzong and looked at each other.

This is Zhu Xu's very direct conspiracy. Sun Chengzong can naturally see that he is not worried at all. Looking at Bi Ziyan, he said, "Master Bi, it will take a long time to leave Beijing this time."

Bi Ziyan shook his head slightly, feeling a little hard to say.

The emperor's behavior became more and more chaotic, and the ancestral system and the basic rules were trampled to pieces. This time, the entire capital might be turned upside down.

"Tell me, what exactly is the emperor going to do?" Bi Ziyan looked up at Sun Chengzong, asking with an expression that couldn't help it.

Sun Chengzong frowned when he heard the words, and now he couldn't understand the emperor more and more.

In the past, his goals were exceptionally clear. Even though Jiannu, the clan, nobles, Donglin, etc. acted after planning, they often seemed rough, and the purpose of all actions could be seen at a glance.

But now, is such a big movement really just for the smooth implementation of the "New Deal" and to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys?Then clear the eunuchs?

They couldn't believe it anymore. The emperor would never do something for a simple purpose. This matter is so vast, it must not be so simple!

Sun Chengzong thought over and over again, feeling a little heavy in his heart, and said without moving his face: "No matter what, Jingzheng Zhongxing is about to come, you and I should work together to help the emperor complete his great cause!"

It took Bi Ziyan a while to nod his head, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Jie came in and said, "My lord, Shen Shangshu asks to see you."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other fiercely, and immediately said: "Please."

Shen Yongmao came in a hurry, holding an imperial edict in his hand, and said without hesitation as soon as he entered the door: "You two elders, the emperor has sent an edict to let the lower officials leave Beijing immediately to inspect the entire army."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong's expressions changed immediately, and before he could speak, Xu Jie came in again and said, "My lords, just now the Supervisor of Rituals revealed that Eunuch Liu will leave Beijing to go to Liaodong to comfort the soldiers and civilians."

This time not only Bi Ziyan, but also Sun Chengzong, and Shen Yongmao's expression also changed.

Liu Shimin sits in the imperial palace, he is an invisible stone of calming the sea, if he leaves the capital, the imperial palace will be really empty, and the will of the emperor will be equivalent to disappearing completely!

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, a guard came in and said, "Report to your lords, there is news from Dongchang, the emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian to investigate several major cases immediately, if there is any further delay, within three days, he will be arrested immediately. !"

At this moment, Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan couldn't sit still, they stood up slowly, and looked at the few people in front of them with horror.

Shen Yongmao and Xu Jie also looked terrified and couldn't control it.
