Domineering Daming

There are too many people to be arrested this time. The nobles, officials, gentry, etc. involved, the list handed over by Jin Yiwei alone has nearly a hundred people. If we continue to check, this number will be multiplied several times!

Even Wei Zhao knew very well that Beizhili was really turned upside down this time!

However, with the arrest of Wei Zhongxian and the suicide of Xu Wenjue, the "turmoil" in Beizhili has completely calmed down and is about to end.

The cabinet promulgated imperial decrees, edicts were promulgated, and the trustworthy king Zhu Youjian officially supervised the country, and began to deal with these chaotic incidents, soothe people's hearts, and clean up the mess.

Chapter 635

Gubeikou.

Huang Taiji and Manzhu Xili watched for an unknown amount of time, both of them were surprisingly patient and not in a hurry.

Manzhu Xili looked up at the big baskets above the Great Wall, and said in admiration, "Khan, you really hit the mark. Wei Zhongxian is not the opponent of the Ming emperor."

Huang Taiji looked calm, looked at the seemingly endless Great Wall, and said with a soft smile: "If he can be eliminated so easily, my Dajin will not destroy the country."

Manzhu Xili saw Huang Taiji say the word "destroy the country" with a calm expression, secretly admired him in his heart, and said: "Khan, what should we do now, should we attack, maybe it will be cheaper."

Huang Taiji shook his head, and calmly said: "There is no need, since he can easily deal with Wei Zhongxian, we will not break through the Great Wall easily, even if we go in, we will definitely not be able to retreat completely, let's go."

Manzhu Xili was startled, and said, "Khan, you knew earlier?"

Huang Taiji turned his horse's head and said, "It's expected."

Manzhu Xili followed beside him, wondering: "Then why do we have to make this trip?" Horqin's life is not easy, it's always good to save a little.

"I want to remind the emperor of the Ming Dynasty that I, Huang Taiji, am still alive." Huang Taiji said with a slight smile.

Manzhu Xili understood that Huang Taiji wanted to disgust the Ming Emperor.

Jinan Prefecture

In mid-April, the weather is getting hotter.

Zhu Xu was wearing an unlined garment, holding a folding fan in an arty hand, wandering around the streets of Jinan.

The news from the capital is spreading all the time, so it is natural to know that the network will be closed today, and it will definitely be closed safely.

Next to him is Huang Chengyuan, governor of Shandong.

Behind him is Cao Huachun, and behind him, Cao Bianjiao leads his people, watching the surroundings.

"Is there a lot you want to ask me?" Zhu Xu flipped his fan over, looked at both sides of the street, and said with a smile.

Huang Chengyuan can also be regarded as an old man in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and half of Zhu Xu's confidant.

He followed Zhu Xu, took half a step, glanced at Zhu Xu's side face, and said hesitantly: "Yes, the ministers and the court officials all believe that the 'New Deal' needs to be stabilized. We all think that it is really... putting the cart before the horse, and it will cause the gentry all over the world to rebound, which is not conducive to the implementation of the New Deal..."

Zhu Xu nodded in disbelief, and walked slowly: "I know what you think, and I have told you that I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and every aspect has become extremely corrupt. Now there are many natural disasters, and there is no end. It's a race against time, and we can't take it slowly. It's just that I have always said what I say, and you do yours. Now, there are fewer and fewer people who can listen to what I say and take it seriously..."

Huang Chengyuan didn't know how to answer Zhu Xu's words, but he knew why fewer and fewer people listened to his words. It was because his purpose seemed to be the same as that of the courtiers, and his actions were often extreme, which completely contradicted the minds of the courtiers. , which is the root cause of today's situation.

Huang Chengyuan could hear that the emperor's mind was difficult to change, and he said silently for a while: "Your Majesty, this time in Beizhili... this time the movement is too big and the impact is very deep. I am afraid that the gentry and scholastics in the world will be shocked by it. I beg your majesty not to do this again, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, everything needs to be done slowly, and the water will come when it is ripe..."

Zhu Xu smiled, this kind of talk is heard a lot in the capital, and it is inevitable when you come out, it's just that serious illness needs strong medicine...

Zhu Xu slowed down his pace and said carefully, "I want to carry out the 'New Deal'. One of the purposes is to reshape the officialdom's physique, eliminate the ills of the past, fight corruption, and improve efficiency. Throughout history, every change of dynasty The reason can all be attributed to the corruption of the officials, Shandong is the closest to the capital, you have to make an appearance for me..."

Huang Chengyuan felt heavy when he saw that the emperor avoided talking about the matter of Beizhili.In the past, there was a gap between the emperor and courtiers in the Ming Dynasty, but this gap cannot be reflected in the government.

Whether it is Emperor Jiajing or Emperor Wanli, they are extremely good at communicating with officials, or "imperial servants", even if it is "a battle over the country", the "confrontation between monarchs and ministers" that has lasted for more than ten years, but in government affairs, and No disagreements arose.

The Emperor Jingzheng in front of him is different. The "gap" between him and his courtiers lies in the completely different style of dealing with the government and the way of dealing with it. The courtiers hope to be "slow", the emperor wants to be "urgent", and the courtiers need to be "steady". But he wanted to "chaos", this "gap" gradually expanded over time, forming a strange situation in which the emperor acted on his own, and the courtiers had no choice but to follow behind to clean up the mess.

The disposition of the courtiers is naturally difficult to change. This is a habit developed over 200 years, but the emperor's character is surprisingly stubborn. No matter how the courtiers persuade him, he has never been shaken.

There is a "calm confrontation" between the monarch and his ministers.

Huang Chengyuan is determined to serve the country, and he has shouted the slogan of "Zhongxing Daming" for many years, but the burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, and he has to face an emperor who does not play cards according to common sense and will cause earth-shattering events at every turn.

Tired.

Perhaps only these two words can explain Huang Chengyuan's heart. Fortunately, he is not in the court, and the life of those adults may be even more difficult.

Huang Chengyuan wandered around in his mind, but still couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, Shandong is waiting to be revitalized, and various 'new policies' are steadily advancing. I hope that there will be enough time to implement the new policies and restore the people's livelihood in Shandong..."

Zhu Xu understood, closed his fan fiercely, and said with a smile: "Well, it's good if you have this determination. Shandong is close to the sea and close to the capital. You need to manage it well. By the way, find a chance. I want to meet Shandong Officials, let them all look at me, is it the legendary three-headed six-armed, ogre monster..."

Seeing that Zhu Xu refused to give permission, Huang Chengyuan's expression flickered with worry, and he responded: "Observe the order. After the minister returns, immediately summon all the officials from Shandong to choose a suitable opportunity to meet the emperor."

Zhu Xu nodded, and happened to come to a courtyard. Looking at the four big characters of "Qianshanyuan", he folded his hands behind his back and said, "This is the place where the literary meeting will be held today?"

Huang Chengyuan looked up and saw that this was the other courtyard of Huang Qianshan, a famous scholar in Shandong. It was later converted into an academy. It was close to Baotu Spring. It was a famous holy place in Jinan.He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xu, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, all the scholars here are going to take the imperial examination this year. They are outstanding in talent and appearance, and they will definitely be the pillars of my future... "

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, opened his fan suddenly, and said with a smile: "Well, I also want to see who is He Fenghua, a scholar of my Ming Dynasty. If there is anyone who is optimistic, you have to train for me first."

Huang Chengyuan hurriedly said: "Observe the order."

Fanning his fan, Zhu Xu stepped into the Qianshan courtyard like a talented scholar.

Huang Chengyuan didn't follow, he looked at Zhu Xu's back, and couldn't help whispering to himself: "With the emperor's ability, ZTE Daming is in sight..."

Zhu Xu only brought Cao Bianjiao in, walking around pretendingly.

At the foot is the Qingshi Road, with green willow trees on both sides, small lakes, rockery, pavilions, bridges, pavilions, everything that should be there, and every place is elegant and charming.

On a grassy field not far away, a group of men and women were sitting on the ground, laughing and laughing, pushing and changing glasses.

Thinking of the refugees he met before, Zhu Xu couldn't help saying to himself: "The so-called Zhumen's wine and meat stinks, and the road is frozen to death, it must be true..."

"For today's imperial court, I can say that I am extremely disappointed. All the princes in the court are doing nothing, and the corpses are eating vegetarian meals..."

"Yes, since Chongzhen, the cabinet has been suspended, the imperial examinations have been suspended, and the sages of Donglin have been slaughtered for no reason..."

"The court's so-called 'New Deal' this time is just to deceive people's eyes and ears, just to plunder money and satisfy the emperor's desire..."

As soon as Zhu Xu's words fell, there was a group of scholars who were concerned about the country and the people.

Blinking, Zhu Xu touched his face, turned his head to look at Cao Bianjiao and said, "Emperor Bronze Stinky, do I still have this nickname?"

Cao Bianjiao lowered his head slightly and did not speak.In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the chambers of commerce with the prefix "Hui" all over the Ming Dynasty had already imprinted deeply on the emperor. This was also a reason for Shilin to be shameless and criticize.

"You may not know that in order to promote the 'New Deal', the imperial court forcibly robbed the gentry's money and food, and arrested the gentry in Beizhili. The world is in chaos..."

"Not only that, almost all prefects and counties in Beizhili have been arrested, and there are more than two hundred officials, large and small!"

"What on earth is the emperor and the court going to do? It's going to disturb the world. Are there wars everywhere..."
