Domineering Daming

No matter how he clarifies, the world will firmly remember his charges!

"Have you checked it out?"

Yang Fengzhong looked at the master in front of him with a gloomy face and said.

The master is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He looked solemn and said: "My lord, this Gong Dingzi is a scholar who has no fame and no reputation, so don't worry about it. What I care about is the account book being robbed. It's okay if the governor's yamen , if it’s the emperor’s person, then it’s a different matter.”

In Yang Fengzhong's view, there is no problem in dividing the gentry's land in advance and not giving the court the opportunity to "rob". It's just that if this matter gets out, it will inevitably damage the reputation.

With a sullen face and sharp eyes, he said: "You send someone to imprison that Gong Dingzi for framing the court minister. As for the account book, don't worry about it. It's nothing more than a fraudulent fabrication and frame. Clean up everything else. Once again, I can't be caught by others! Also, my mother's birthday will be one day later, and Mr. Huang will come to celebrate her birthday in person. At this time, there must be no mistakes!"

"It's my lord!" The master Bo took the lead.

Chapter 641 How is it better than the Qinhuai River?

From the north to the south of the Ming Dynasty, every official was busy and busy.

The incident in Beizhili caused a huge shock in the entire Ming Dynasty. The "New Deal" of the imperial court is obviously not just a superficial article of "talking about it". If they fail to implement it, the consequences will be embarrassing!

In the capital, from the cabinet to the six ministries, they are stepping up preparations and constantly improving. While they are rapidly promoting in Beizhili and accumulating experience, they are also preparing to promote it to other provinces.

Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan are the three provinces closest to the capital, so it is natural to start from these three provinces.

Shandong governor's yamen.

Governor Huang Chengyuan, as well as participating in politics, six people in the council, a total of seven people, are discussing matters.

"My lord, judging from the documents of the cabinet, the Ministry of Punishment, the Prison Division, the Dali Temple, and the Supervisory Council will all be set up in different levels in Shandong. I'm afraid it will cause a lot of shock."

"The authority of the prison department is more clear. Whether it is the governor's office or the magistrate, the magistrate cannot fully control it. There will definitely be many people who are dissatisfied..."

"Fortunately, the Criminal and Prison Department said that the Supervisory Council wanted to supervise government affairs, and it clearly hung a sword over our heads. Dali Temple deprived the yamen of the right to adjudicate cases. From the governor's yamen, the magistrate's yamen, to the magistrate's yamen, power have been greatly reduced...”

"If local governments resist, even if they don't cooperate, it will be enough for us to have a headache. The cabinet still requires that it be completed within a month. How can this be done?"

"Presumably the cabinet should be more anxious than us. I heard that Mr. Bi Ge, Fu Shangshu, Zhou Shangshu and others are out of Beijing for inspections. The court is different from the past and cannot deal with it casually..."

Huang Chengyuan listened silently, with a rather calm expression.

He already knew about these things when they were discussing in the capital, and at this time he just conveyed them further.

After they discussed for a while, Huang Chengyuan said solemnly: "Jingzheng's new policy and ZTE's revitalization of the Ming Dynasty are the general trend, and no one can stop them! These government affairs can be easily resolved after all as long as the emperor is in Shandong now. To show the emperor his firm support for the New Deal, we must not be ambiguous or fool around at will! If anyone dares to talk nonsense at this time, discredit and block Shandong's governor's yamen and the entire Shandong, and make the emperor have an extremely bad feeling for Shandong, I will definitely Don't take it lightly!"

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly said in unison: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely support Jingzheng's new policy, Zhongxing Daming!"

Huang Chengyuan nodded lightly, and said: "The emperor will meet with civil and military officials in Shandong in a few days. In the past few days, he has to prepare well, and there must be no trouble. If the emperor blames him, you and I will not be able to bear it together!"

There is no objection among those present, who is the current emperor, who always makes surprises, as if there is nothing he dare not do, who dares to touch his bad luck!

"My lord." Suddenly, a counselor said: "Tomorrow is the birthday of the mother of Yang Fengzhong, the prefect of Jinan, and several of us have received invitations. It seems that we are going to have a big feast."

Another political participant continued: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has always advocated frugality, especially now that the disasters are not abating everywhere, and the number of victims is increasing every day. If the Emperor sees it, I'm afraid it will stir the wrath of a thunderbolt."

"Right now, there are rumors all over the world, saying that 'the wine and meat of the rich family smell bad, and the roads are frozen to death', this rich family is not the emperor, if this spreads to the emperor's ears, I will not be able to bear the blame..."

"In my opinion, we must stop it! Yang Fengzhong is well-known in Qingliu. If he angers the emperor and is severely punished, it may cause a turmoil among scholars, which is not conducive to the stability of Shandong and the advancement of various government affairs..."

"Now that the turmoil in Beizhili is uncertain, and the gentry in the world are uneasy, the imperial court needs people like Yang Fengzhong to stabilize the place, and to speak good words to the imperial court must not be moved lightly..."

Huang Chengyuan heard what they meant, and pondered: "It is a human relationship for a son to celebrate his parents' birthday. I have no reason to hinder each other. What do you think?"

"My lord, we must stop it, otherwise there will be a storm in Shandong, which will affect a series of established plans..."

"Instead of stopping Yang Fengzhong, the lower officials think it's better to stop the emperor and persuade him to go south as soon as possible..."

"The lower officials have different opinions, and the emperor is absolutely unstoppable. I may not be able to escape his eyes. I still want to control Yang Fengzhong. At this time, when my Ming Dynasty is working hard to get rid of the abuses, Yang Fengzhong's Like a human being, he can only talk big words, useless meritorious deeds, and whitewash the peace. It seems to be concerned about the country and the people, but in fact it is of no benefit to the country or the people! The lower officials think that the governor's yamen should intervene. The imperial court, show our determination to reform to the people of Shandong Shilin!"

"It's not right, Yang Fengzhong must not move, otherwise the relationship will be too great and it will not be conducive to the situation in Shandong..."

"Yang Fengzhong is in Shilin, and his prestige in Shandong is too great, so he can't move lightly..."

Regarding Yang Fengzhong, everyone in the room was arguing, and Huang Chengyuan understood it.

It was nothing more than a continuation of the differences between the court and the emperor in their treatment of the government, and he was not in a hurry to speak.

After some discussion among the people, one of the politicians looked up at Huang Chengyuan and said, "My lord, why don't you go to see the emperor and explain to the emperor that our Shandong and Beizhili are completely different, and everything is waiting to be rejuvenated, everything will be renewed, so don't move lightly." ..."

"Northern Zhili is vast and sparsely populated, while Shandong is narrow and densely populated. The literary style is at its peak, and the scholar community is like weaving..."

"My lord, no matter what, we still have to touch the emperor's mind, so that we can have a countermeasure."

Huang Chengyuan nodded slightly. Regarding the "New Deal", from the imperial court to the local governor level, the ideas are increasingly consistent, that is, "innovation must be done", and the differences lie in the means and methods.As the emperor's methods became more and more intense, the laziness of the officials from all over the place was also changing. They gradually increased their pace, as if they were competing with the emperor for speed.

This is unique in the past, even unimaginable!

"Perhaps this is one of the emperor's goals?"

Huang Chengyuan was thinking in his heart, and said: "Well, I know, I will go to see the emperor later. Regarding the cabinet documents, let me reveal a little bit first, and at the same time, the governor's office must be prepared. These powers cannot be left to the subordinates. It must be controlled by the governor's office..."

"Your officer obeys!" A group of people stood up and responded solemnly.

In the evening, the sky is slightly drunk.

Zhu Xu is sitting on a boat on the "Qinhuai River in Shandong", experiencing "the unique happiness of scholars".

This is a flower boat, which can be rented for one tael of silver, and used for an hour.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhu Xu was very inconspicuous among the large and small flower boats.

There are green trees on both sides, large and small buildings all over the place, red lanterns are hung high, beside the door, windows, Yingying Yanyan, laughing and laughing.

There are a full two miles of land, dozens of brothels, and the number of "ladies" is probably nearly a thousand!

Standing behind Zhu Xu, Huang Chengyuan looked at Zhu Xu's back, feeling a little uncertain in his heart. He didn't know whether he wanted to try something new, or wanted to "check the government affairs".

It's okay to say the former, but if it's the latter, Huang Chengyuan's scalp would feel numb.

Naturally, Zhu Xu didn't come to visit the brothel. He looked around, flapped the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "How many brothels and famous courtesans are there in Jinan Prefecture?"

Huang Chengyuan's heart skipped a beat, he bowed slightly, and said: "Go back to the emperor, this humble minister doesn't know, I still need to go back and investigate."

"How is it compared to the Qinhuai River?" Zhu Xu asked again.

Huang Chengyuan's eyes were disturbed, and he said, "It's not as good as it is."

Zhu Xu nodded and smiled, without saying much, his eyes scanned the men.

Most people are 30 or [-] years old, and there are quite a few over [-] years old. There are also some old men in their sixties. They are not ashamed of each other.
