Domineering Daming

Opening the letter, Zhu Xu looked up, and what caught his eye was quite neat and delicate small characters, densely packed and arranged in an orderly manner.

"The handwriting is not bad..." Zhu Xu laughed. The little girl has a temper like a wild horse, but her handwriting is well-regulated, which is better than his.

Zhu Xu watched carefully, the little girl first complained, saying how her mother, the Empress Dowager Zhang, abused her, bullied her, and even prepared to give her to her husband's family to send her out of the palace.This takes up more than half of the space, and later it is said that the books in his study are not good-looking, and those annotations are more and more like old pedants, not as interesting as before.

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. He used to like to annotate according to his own ideas when reading books, and even wrote out his impressions after reading. At this time, he was often quite "flying". From the perspective of the little girl's boring life in the palace, it is relatively fresh and interesting.

The little girl babbled, and finally changed the subject, saying that she had been hiding in Yuzao Palace recently, taking care of Li Jieyu for her, and looking after her future nephew, asking him to pay money.

Although the writing is a bit messy, the little girl still wrote a lot about Li Jieyu's situation, which is more than Li Jieyu himself.

This also reassured Zhu Xu a lot, put down the letter, took a deep breath, and finally he could sleep peacefully.

He slowly fell asleep on his side, but too many people were tossing and turning because of his arrival, making it difficult to fall asleep.

Zhu Yujian, King of the Tang Dynasty, and Xiong Wencan, Chief of the Navy, were rushing to Fuzhou Mansion in the wind and dust. Although they knew that the emperor would come, they still couldn't help feeling anxious when they really came.

Both of them have some understanding of the emperor's character. When he got angry, the entire navy couldn't afford it, let alone them.

Xiong Wencan looked at Zhu Yujian, hesitantly said: "Prince, do you think the emperor will be dissatisfied with the actions of the subordinate?"

Zhu Yujian's complexion was as usual. After so long in the wind and sun, he lost the coquettishness in the palace and became more mature. He crossed his legs and said, "Your Majesty Xiong, don't worry. The emperor is just here for inspection. Don't worry about the red-haired man. If you do your best, Your Majesty will not take responsibility."

Xiong Wencan smiled stiffly and said nothing.

He knows his ability well. Whether it is managing the navy or other matters, he seems to be stretched. No matter how hard he tries, he always feels powerless.

Although Zhu Yujian is only in charge of the war room, not in charge of commanding, mobilizing or leading the army, but his identity is here, and with the will of the emperor behind him, Xiong Wencan also gives way to Zhu Yujian in everything and shows great respect.

In fact, Zhu Yujian was also worried. Regarding the navy, he is still in the groping stage. Now he can only operate according to the "Navy Training and Development Manual", and then add his understanding. It looks well-organized, but the inside is a mess, and the specific appearance of the bottom of my heart is not very clear.

In the early morning of the next day, officials of all sizes from Fujian gathered in front of the governor's yamen, all dressed in court uniforms, waiting with different expressions.

Rows of soldiers stood in silence, and a street was already under martial law, as if they were ready for battle.

Zhu Xu was dressed in regular clothes, with one hand behind his back, and strolled over.

Seeing these people and the scene, Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, but he didn't care.

Behind him were Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao, who were also dressed in normal clothes, and they didn't bring many guards, they followed closely on both sides of him.

"Chen and so see the emperor!"

Zhu Yujian took the lead, Xiong Wencan, Zou Weilian, Yu Anxing and a group of people all raised their hands and bowed, and said in a long voice.

Zhu Xu took a look at everyone, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A group of people straightened up and put down their hands.

Zhu Xu looked around, turned around and entered the gate of the Governor's Yamen, a voice came from behind and said: "Everyone is gone, come in and talk."

These were the soldiers and horses of the governor's mansion, Yu Anxing quickly sent them back, and followed a group of people into the governor's office.

The lobby of the governor's yamen has been re-arranged, and the tables and chairs inside are neatly arranged. It is obvious that a lot of preparations have been made to welcome him.But it's very ordinary, nothing luxurious.

After observing for a while, Zhu Xu took a seat in the center and sat down on the chair prepared for him. At the same time, he looked at the group of people who came in and said, "Sit down, I have something to talk to you, and I want to hear your thoughts. I couldn't hear it in the capital, so I came here specially to hear some truths and say some truths."

Everyone thanked him carefully and sat down.This place is no better than Nanzhili. If the emperor hits the board, no one can take it lightly.

Just when a group of people were worried, Zhu Xu said directly: "I have been in Fujian for six or seven days, and I have seen what I should see and what I want to see. To be honest... it is not satisfactory."

The four words "not satisfactory" hit everyone's hearts hard. This word is not a neutral word, but a derogatory term. It has different effects from anyone who says it, especially the emperor Zhu Xu, who seems to be stern when he says it. rebuke!

Chapter 732

Zou Weilian and other officials in the governor's office did not speak. Fujian is indeed not doing very well this year. From government affairs, people's sentiments, taxation, food and silver, the disaster situation is "unsatisfactory" everywhere.

A maidservant came out to serve tea, feeling the oppressive atmosphere, she hurriedly retreated out again.

Zhu Xu held the teacup, stroked it lightly, and prepared to drink it.

At the beginning, the vaccination is considered good, and the next step is to make a move.

Zou Weilian had a premonition, and just about to stand up, Zhu Xu pressed his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."

Zou Weilian hesitated for a while, sat there, and said: "Your Majesty, the corruption of Fujian's officials was not achieved in a day, and the ministers are already doing their best to promote the 'New Deal', eliminate bad governance, and rebuild Qingming... It's just too hasty, and some more work is needed." time."

Zhu Yujian, Xiong Wencan, Yu Anxing and others did not speak. These are government affairs, and they are not suitable for speaking. At the same time, their hearts were racing, thinking about their own countermeasures.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, nodded lightly and said, "Well, too hasty? This reason is really good. Those adults in the court also prevaricate me like this."

Zou Weilian lowered his head slightly, his expression remained motionless.

The folding fan in Zhu Xu's hand fluttered lightly, looked at everyone's faces, and said with a smile: "I am Tianqi, who was enthroned six years ago, and then began to promote the 'New Deal'. It has been at least six years now, you say, is it in a hurry? "

Everyone's heart trembled, is this going to be liquidated?

Zou Weilian frowned, moved his lips, and wanted to speak, but couldn't find a suitable one.

Indeed, Emperor Jingzheng put forward a series of "innovation" plans after he ascended the throne, but at that time, these "innovations" were regarded by almost everyone as the little emperor's "whimsical" and "willful nonsense", especially Donglin. When the party and eunuch party were still fighting, no one would care about this little emperor.Even if the Donglin Party was destroyed, the officials and gentry would still vigorously resist, and "reform" would still be the slogan of the emperor alone.

When it was revealed at this time, it was obvious that it was about to be liquidated.

The officials of the governor's yamen were all very heavy-hearted. Some people wanted to say something, but they didn't have the courage to stand up. The emperor in front of them was not something they could talk about.

Zhu Xu's eyes fell on Zou Weilian, and he said in a flat tone: "I know that from the beginning until now, many people are dissatisfied with the 'New Deal' and have other ideas, so resist, refuse to implement, oppose, treat negatively, neglect, etc. , the methods are all kinds of strange and strange, emerge in endlessly..."

This point hits the nail on the head of everyone here. Not everyone is satisfied with the "New Deal", and even many people are too dissatisfied. Even now, it was started under coercion and slowly accepted.

Everyone lowered their heads slightly, waiting anxiously as if a big stone was falling in their hearts.

"If your subordinates are dissatisfied with your policies, can they not implement them, resist them, be passive and sabotage, and ignore them?"

"Can't!"

Zhu Xu's tone became more serious, and he said: "Your prestige cannot be provoked, but you never get tired of provoking the court, provoking me, demonstrating downwards, and asking for credit from upwards..."

Snapped!

Zhu Xu's fan snapped shut, and he said coldly, "I don't care what you think about the 'New Deal' or how much dissatisfaction you have, it's all deduced by me and the ministers of the court for many years. Treat them differently, pick and choose at will! Everything must be strictly implemented and pushed forward with all your strength! If you can’t do it, tell me now, and I will immediately allow you to go home and farm. Those who can do things, I will not lack!"

The expressions of Zou Weilian and the others changed slightly, and they got up one after another, saying: "Your servant is guilty!"

Zhu Xu waved his hands in boredom, and said, "Okay, let's all get up."

Zou Weilian and the others put down their hands cautiously, frowned, and looked at each other quietly, without saying a word.

They do have reservations about the "New Deal". They do it selectively, and they do it the other way around when it comes to treating gentry and businessmen.
