Domineering Daming

Li Banghua sat on the chair, his face was pale, and his eyes kept flickering.

Zhu Xudi's words gave him a lot of stimulation, and he tore apart bloody things that he had never thought of before, and exposed them to everyone.

This is the most unbearable and ugly side, which makes them desperate.

Li Banghua didn't speak, and everyone else's face sank like water.

They are the same, they uphold the same philosophy as Li Banghua, or most of the scholars nowadays, they never doubt themselves, they only want to change the world, political opponents, and everyone!

But in the end, the emperor tore off their masks. They are just selfish villains. Like the Donglin Party that has been sentenced to death, they are also carrying out selfishness and selfishness under the banner of glory. scumbag!

This kind of drop from the mountain peak to the ground is the most uncomfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, a councilor looked at Li Banghua and said, "My lord, what should we do now?"

A group of people looked up at Li Banghua one after another. The emperor's reprimand would soon be spread, and they would be ashamed and shameless. The emperor even blocked the road they might choose, and they couldn't die. Can't hide, can't be a villain, what else can they do?

Li Banghua was undoubtedly the most uncomfortable in his heart. In a short period of time, he went through many processes in his heart.

Unbelief, painful struggle, self-doubt, and difficult struggle, until now, he has been able to accept it painfully.

Indeed, as the emperor said, they were avoiding, and they had no determination to go forward in order to protect themselves wisely. Before their homeland, they chose themselves and abandoned the teachings of sages, selfish and selfish.

"The emperor didn't block our way." Li Banghua raised his head, looked at a group of people and said.He already knew Zhu Xu a little bit, and it seemed that they blocked their way, but actually left a road.

Everyone was taken aback, and the magistrate of Fengxiang Mansion said: "My lord, do we have any other ways to go?"

Li Banghua took a deep breath, and said with piercing eyes: "Also, plead guilty to the emperor, take back the previous resignation request, and win the trust of the emperor and the world with words and deeds that are fearless and courageous!"

A group of people suddenly felt their hearts pounding and felt even more uncomfortable.

They have just been torn apart, so shamelessly pleading guilty and withdrawing their resignation, wouldn't it be even more despicable, hateful and pitiful?

Before they could open their mouths, Li Banghua said directly: "Know your mistakes and correct them. There is no other way. Come with me."

It was torn apart by the emperor just now, but Li Banghua wants to tear it up again!

Li Banghua took the lead and walked outside without giving them a chance to talk.

This group of people is not comparable to Li Banghua, I haven't realized it yet, seeing Li Banghua going, Zuo Canzheng hurriedly catch up, saying: "My lord, please think again!"

Going to plead guilty is tantamount to admitting everything, and then they have nothing!

Li Banghua's heart was also pierced by a knife, but he knew better what he had to do now. He took a deep breath and said with a calm face: "All follow me, no one is allowed to be left behind!"

No matter what, Li Banghua's prestige is still there, everyone looks at me and I look at you, so they have to bite the bullet and follow behind Li Banghua.

As soon as Li Banghua came out, Zhu Xu knew about it and nodded with a smile on his face.

Li Banghua did not disappoint him. After experiencing his great performance, I hope he will not be as pedantic as in history, with only one mind and nothing to achieve.

Zhu Xu continued to write his speech, revised it more rigorously and logically, and the door of the room was wide open.

Li Banghua led more than ten people, entered the door, looked at Zhu Xu, raised his hands together, bowed and said: "The minister waits to plead guilty, please forgive the emperor!"

Zhu Xu didn't turn his head back, and didn't fiddle with his pen. He said flatly: "You guys did a good job in Shaanxi. I haven't rewarded you yet. Make up for your merits and demerits. After you go back, write a memorial. I want to read it. If you can't write it well, There is no need for you to resign, I will send someone to send you back!"

Li Banghua and the others felt uncomfortable, and said: "Observe the order."

Chapter 791 Returning to Beijing

Beating Li Banghua is not the purpose, these words are for the people of the world to hear.

After some preparations, Zhu Xu left Xi'an Mansion that night with the Forbidden Army and Shenji Battalion and headed straight for Shanxi.

Three days later, on the official road to the capital, Zhu Xu wore a silver cloak and walked slowly.

The official road is very empty, and the sparse snowflakes fall from the sky and melt on the ground.

Wisps of cold wind hit, making people icy all over and chilling in the heart.

Zhu Xu walked in front, followed by Shanxi Governor Zhao Han.

Zhao Han was also wearing thick clothes, followed Zhu Xu, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the snow came very early this year. It rained heavily a while ago, and now it's winter."

Zhao Han is also Zhu Xu's old man, and he followed him when he was still in Qiandi, when he was still the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion.

Zhu Xu stretched out his hands to catch the snowflakes, but he didn't catch them for a long time, then he tucked his hands into his sleeves and said, "Well, the weather is a bit weird, tell me about Shanxi."

"Yes."

Zhao Han had received the notice long ago and was waiting here. He had already thought about it carefully, and then he replied seriously: "Return to the emperor, at present the Governor's Council has been completed, with 49 members and 15 directors. The prison department is the governor's yamen. In charge, a total of 250 people, Zuo Canzheng is in charge. The Dali Temple has also been preliminarily built and is currently distributing powers..."

These are the top-level structures, and then need to be gradually refined, advanced, and improved.

Zhu Xu listened for a while, and said: "Acres of land, commercial taxes, these must be serious and strict, don't be fooled, I have ordered the cabinet to prepare the patrol censor, and I will leave Beijing next year, not only to inspect your attitude, progress, It also depends on whether what you do is fine and perfect, I will remind you, don't deceive me like everyone else..."

Zhao Han hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the minister is loyal, and he will never slack off in government affairs. He will never let the emperor down!"

Zhu Xu smiled, said "Yes", and said, "You can still reassure me that Shanxi's officials are better than other places."

Zhao Han followed Zhu Xu, step by step, and said: "Yes, I remember the emperor's words, 'Govern the country first to rule the officials', so vigorously rectify it, and initial results have been achieved."

The administration of officials in Shanxi is indeed good. Some people have played a memorial and praised Shanxi. The cabinet has also sent people to look at it. It is indeed more honest, more efficient, and much less messy.

Zhu Xu stopped, looked at a pavilion not far away, put his hands behind his back, and said with a leisurely gaze: "Outside of Shanxi, what do you think of the entire bureaucracy of my Ming Dynasty? Especially the bureaucracy?"

Zhao Han was taken aback, then stopped, and carefully worded his words: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has reorganized the administration of officials, which has greatly changed from before Chongzhen. Zhou Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has worked hard and made great achievements."

Zhu Xu frowned, did not speak, and kept thinking in his heart.

The corruption of officials was an important reason for the downfall of Ming Dynasty.In order to realize the "Rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty", it is necessary to have a clear and bright administration of officials, and the purge will be a long-term project that cannot be relaxed at all.

The "reform" that Zhao Han mentioned was at the top, the cabinet, the six ministries, and the local governor's office. As for the lower levels, it's hard to say, Zhu Xu's hand has not been able to continue.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Xu said: "Well, you write a memorial to me about the administration of officials. It must be comprehensive and careful, and you must have lessons learned."

Zhao Han bowed and said, "Yes, I obey the order."

Zhu Xu looked at the sky and considered the situation in the capital.

The situation is changing, and for some people, things can no longer keep up with him.

After a while, Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly settled down, and he said, "I won't be going to Taiyuan. You should prepare yourself. Next year, I will find a chance to transfer you to Beijing."

Zhao Han's face flashed with joy, and he said hastily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and looked to the east, the capital was already in front of him, and after turning around, he was going back again.
