Domineering Daming

Liu Shimin's expression was slightly startled, and he immediately said: "Your maid obeys the order!"

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, thinking of the miserable situation, he wished he could fly to Shanxi to deal with it himself, and finally waved his hand, saying: "It's not too late, go, find out and report to me immediately!"

"Yes." Liu Shimin responded, turned and left in a hurry.

Li Jieyu has been listening from the side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, is there any difference in this plague?"

Since the 20th year of Wanli, the number of disasters across the country has continued to increase, and there have been many large and small epidemics. She has never seen Zhu Xu care so much.

Zhu Xu let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but I always have a bad feeling in my heart."

Li Jieyu said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the anti-epidemic yamen is united with the imperial hospital, and the concubines have seen it occasionally. They have made some progress on some epidemics. The general epidemic can still be controlled, and there will be no major incidents... "

Zhu Xu didn't say much, and walked slowly.

This epidemic prevention office has been established for many years, and I hope it will come in handy. However, if it is really a "plague", in addition to developing drugs, the most important thing is to control the "rats". It must not spread to more than half of the north like in history!

Although he didn't know much about "plague", according to the current season, it shouldn't be plague.

"I hope it's because I'm sensitive..." Zhu Xu sighed softly in his heart, feeling heavy.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, natural disasters and man-made disasters gathered together, and each time caused unprecedented damage to the entire Ming Dynasty. It was a miracle in itself that it could last for so long. If it were other dynasties, it would have collapsed long ago.

Li Jieyu gently pulled Zhu Xu's arm to show comfort.

Zhu Xu habitually held her waist, and walked slowly towards the Yuzao Palace, still thinking about it.When he reached Yuzao Palace, he turned around and turned back to Jingyang Palace, really worried.

The cabinet quickly received Zhu Xu's order. It is extremely rare for him to use such a harsh tone. The three members of the cabinet immediately drafted the order and sent it to Shanxi in a hurry. He rushed to the governor's Yamen in Shanxi first.

The governor of Shanxi is Zhao Han, Zhu Xu's confidant, so he naturally dare not slack off.

It was like a cold wind blowing from the capital to Shanxi, causing a wave of shock.

Despite the turmoil in the officialdom, the lives of the people are still the same. The affairs of the Governor's Council are like a hurricane, coming and going quickly. As for the impact, only those who are stimulated are still struggling.

Suzaku Street, a restaurant.

Wei Xuelian, Meng Zhaoxiang, and Cao Dingjiao were drinking wine and eating side dishes. Not far from them was a brothel.

Meng Zhaoxiang is now in the Ministry of Officials. Looking at the feasting and feasting not far away, he laughed and laughed. He shook his head and said, "It's not a day's cold to freeze three feet. No matter how many orders the court gives, it still can't change the corruption of these people..."

Wei Xuelian on the opposite side of him laughed, and said: "Do you know? I have been staring at this place a few times, trying to find out who it belongs to. Guess what?"

Cao Dingjiao and Meng Zhaoxiang looked at him curiously and said, "How is it?"

Wei Xuelian smiled even more, and said: "These people are either dismissed officials, or their nephews and brothers, and some rich and powerful families. Didn’t find out the problem? Tell me, is it funny?”

Meng Zhaoxiang laughed, and said: "You are fine, you don't know how many letters of recommendation the officials receive every day, I have a little bit of information, these people are honest and gentlemen during the day, and they show their true colors when it is dark, and their every move is absurd. You haven't seen it, and you can't even think about it..."

The so-called Qingliu celebrities, with elegant and elegant piano rhymes, are all equally dirty and shameless.

Cao Dingjiao has been in Wan County, but what he saw was different from the two of them, and he kept listening and laughing without saying a word.

Wei Xuelian was still very excited about what he said just now, but after talking for a while, he became extremely bored. He looked at Cao Dingjiao and said, "Old Cao, I heard that your appointment has been blocked?"

As soon as Wei Xuelian's words fell, Meng Zhaoxiang frowned and said, "I know a thing or two. There should be no problem with Shuntian Mansion. The officials have something to say, but they still went to the Supervisory Council, and they were stuck in the Supervisory Council. The reason is that it's "slightly inexperienced, and more tempered", which means that Lao Cao will stay in the position of county magistrate for another two years."

Although Cao Bianjiao and Cao Wenzhao are not in the capital, but there are people who want to curry favor with the Cao family, Cao Dingjiao has heard the news a long time ago, his expression is calm and calm, and he said: "I know, it's okay, I just happen to have a lot of things to do."

Meng Zhaoxiang looked at him, shook his head and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think, it's not for you alone..."

Chapter 816

Hearing Meng Zhaoxiang's words, Wei Xuelian was startled, and said, "What else do you know?"

Meng Zhaoxiang glanced around and said in a low voice: "As far as I know, the Ministry of Officials intends to transfer all the officials from the political and academic departments out of Beijing. Lao Cao, Lao Wei may not move, I guess I will go to Fengyang Mansion .”

Cao Dingjiao frowned, looked at Meng Zhaoxiang and said, "Is it really all?"

Meng Zhaoxiang nodded and said solemnly: "That's what I heard. The Ministry of Officials has already done a good job. It was supposed to be sent to the Governor's Council, but now it is directly sent to the cabinet. As long as the cabinet nods, the matter will be settled. Next year two The order will be issued on the month."

Wei Xuelian suddenly felt uncomfortable, and said: "What are the officials going to do? Is it impossible to drive us all to death? We are all disciples of Mr. Bi Ge, how dare they?"

Meng Zhaoxiang glanced at him and said, "They even dare to touch Lao Cao, so what are the others?"

The corner of Wei Xuelian's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Cao Dingjiao's background is really tough, few people can compare with it, there really is nothing this group of people dare not do.

Cao Dingjiao's expression was gloomy. There are about 800 students who have graduated from the Political Yuan in the past few years, and they are basically "officials" at the bottom.

Does the emperor not care?

Thinking of this, Cao Dingjiao's heart moved, and he said, "Do you know what official position you have been transferred to?"

Meng Zhaoxiang was slightly startled, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know about this, but according to the rules, if you are transferred to another place, you have to be promoted one to three levels. If the assessment is good, it is possible to let a county magistrate."

Cao Dingjiao immediately understood, his heart was clear, and he smiled and said: "Don't think so much, this is probably the emperor's intention."

"Your Majesty?" Wei Xuelian and Meng Zhaoxiang were shocked, why did they drag the emperor out again.

Cao Dingjiao chuckled, and said, "Well, besides, nearly 500 people have passed the joint entrance examination of the Political Academy this year, and there are only so many official positions, so naturally some must be freed up."

Wei Xuelian and Meng Zhaoxiang's expressions moved slightly, and they understood. Meng Zhaoxiang was a little sensitive after he had been in the official department for a long time, and said: "The promotion of the 'New Deal' is a bit weak now, and those big officials in the borderlands seem to be stuck in a quagmire, and their progress is slow. It’s a good way to go from bottom to top…”

Wei Xuelian thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's still difficult. I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. Many things have been deeply rooted, and the local forces are intertwined. It's just a few small masters and county magistrates. It's not enough. Wait for them to grow up." , at least ten or twenty years, it's too late..."

After all, Cao Dingjiao is just a scholar, his vision is not enough, he can't see clearly, he nodded thoughtfully and said: "Old Wei said yes, but we can guess what the emperor is thinking, there must be other actions in the next year... ..."

Speaking of this, Meng Zhaoxiang hurriedly said: "Let me tell you a little more, next year there will be two major events, one is that the Great Court will be held again, and the governors and governors from all over the country will go to Beijing. In addition, the emperor will have a big wedding, and the feudal lords from all over the country will go to Beijing. The envoys of the country will come. The Ministry of War is preparing for a big martial arts show outside the Chengtian Gate, and when the time comes, the common people and officials are allowed to come and watch."

Wei Xuelian's eyes lit up, and said: "I heard that the emperor has performed martial arts in Nanzhili and Fujian. The scene is unprecedented, very grand and shocking..."

Cao Dingjiao nodded slightly, and said: "The disaster is spreading in the world now, and rumors and rumors are everywhere. It is really necessary to stabilize people's hearts and deter Xiaoxiao..."

For what happened in the capital, everyone sitting here is aware of what happened in the capital. Hearing Cao Dingjiao's words, they all frowned and showed boredom. Wei Xuelian said: "Prince Jing has entered the cabinet, and the Governor's Council has already implemented thunderbolt methods. At most two days, the capital will be clean. ..."

The Governor's Council includes the previous powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Six Divisions, etc. Once used, it is definitely a sharp weapon!

Meng Zhaoxiang already felt that many people were taken away by the Governor's Council and asked to "be honest and honest", and many of them never came back.

"Will the people arrested by the Governor's Council be sentenced by the Dali Temple?" Cao Dingjiao asked suddenly, because he remembered that Wang Qiaonian, the Vice-President of the Political Council, had already taken over as the Secretary of the Dali Temple.

"Naturally." Wei Xuelian said, "However, there are too many people involved, some charges are not easy to determine, and the year is approaching, I am afraid that the trial will not be concluded by the end of the year."

Meng Zhaoxiang said: "Well, the appointment of the Ministry of Officials is also next year, and it seems that next year will not be safe."

Cao Dingjiao listened to the words of the two, nodded slightly, then suddenly looked outside and asked, "Is that Duke Lu?"
