Domineering Daming

Cao Huachun's expression moved slightly, he lowered his head and said, "Observe the order."

He knew that Dali Siqing had entered the cabinet and cleaned up the remnants of the Donglin Party. This was the emperor's last step in changing the political situation, and the next step was to carry out military reforms.

Bi Ziyan called all the top officials of the imperial court to the cabinet, and held meetings late at night.

Such a large-scale exile, and some of them are officials in the court. Although they are all unimportant people, the number of "more than 700" is not a trivial matter. Yang Lian, Wang Ji and others are still among them. To offend the entire Shilin again.

It was relaxing just now, but now thinking about it, he felt a little heavy. Bi Ziyan looked around the people present with a cold expression, his eyes fell on Zhou Yingqiu, and said, "What do the officials think?"

Now no one cares about Zhou Yingqiu being "referred to another job", all eyes are on him.For such a large-scale "dispatch", the official department is the biggest support point.

Zhou Yingqiu was silent for a while, and said: "The two provinces in the South China Sea originally did not study politics. The emperor obviously wanted to civilize the two provinces, spread the teachings of saints, and dispatched 700 people in one go. Great earthquake."

Bi Ziyan naturally knew this, and he said in a decisive tone: "The end of the year is approaching, and we still have a lot of things to do, and there will be even more next year. This matter must be resolved quickly, and there must be no delay!"

Fu Changzong raised his head suddenly, and said: "There are three steps. First, the Governor's Council invites people to take people away. Second, the secret cabinet issues an edict to send away 700 people in batches. Finally, the family members and the like, try to keep them away as much as possible. Keep things under control and don't cause any big disturbances."

Bi Ziyan looked at Fu Changzong's faint expression, and said, "You mean to keep it secret, deal with it first, and report it later?"

Fu Changzong said: "Not bad."

Zhou Yingqiu glanced at him, but didn't make a sound.

However, Prince Jing was moved, and said: "The emperor's intention is obviously to kill everyone and alert the world. If we do this, the emperor may not allow it."

Bi Ziyan remained motionless, and turned to look at Fu Changzong.

This idea came from Fu Changzong, and Fu Changzong is the most able to understand Shangyi.

Fu Changzong looked around and said: "The emperor wants to make an example, but he doesn't necessarily want to make a big noise."

Bi Ziyan looked at Fu Changzong, thoughtful on his face, and said: "Well, let's draw up a plan first, and the Japanese officials will enter the palace tomorrow to ask the emperor for instructions. Before that, the news will be strictly blocked, and nothing will be leaked!"

Wang Qiaonian had just been promoted in an exceptional way, and was still in a state of apprehension, so he quickly took the opportunity to express: "But we were all 'invited' here by the forbidden army. I am afraid that there is already a lot of noise outside. If Yang Dahong and others are detained again, we may not be able to hide it for a long time. .”

Bi Ziyan nodded, and said: "Well, hurry up and prepare, Mr. Wang, when you come to the cabinet tomorrow, I will assign you government affairs, class room, and talk about the promotion of Dali Temple."

Wang Qiaonian is also in a cloud of fog now, hearing the words, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes."

Bi Ziyan had gone through the six parts before, and now he probably has a bottom line in his heart, and his expression is ponderous.As cabinet ministers, the emperor has already added Wang Qiaonian, so the only thing left is their recommendation from the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan looked up at the crowd and said, "I plan to transfer Sun Chuanting to Beijing as soon as possible, what do you think?"

Among the six ministries of the cabinet, those who can compete with Bi Ziyan are Sun Chengzong, the right assistant, and the backbone of the imperial party represented by Fu Changzong. If these two parties do not speak, Bi Ziyan is the "first assistant"!

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu looked at each other, they both knew it well.Bi Ziyan wanted to improve the cabinet as soon as possible and speed up the centralization of power in the cabinet so that he could do more things.Both of them will be people who will leave Beijing, so they both chose to acquiesce.Sun Chengzong's focus was on the military reform, and Sun Chuanting was also determined by the cabinet earlier, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that no one spoke, Bi Ziyan said directly: "Okay, let's do this right now. Everyone, this matter must be done quickly and carefully, without delay! For other matters, I will go to the palace tomorrow to discuss with the emperor." .”

"Yes." A group of people responded in unison. The list involved six ministries and nine monasteries, and almost no one in every yamen of the imperial court could stay out of it.

When Bi Ziyan and others made the decision in the cabinet, there was a lot of terror outside the palace.

For such a large-scale movement of the imperial army, some villains who are always concerned have been staring at the direction of the palace, waiting for the news inside.

But the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the imperial palace was still as quiet as a terrifying monster, without any movement, as if it was ready to go and swallow everyone who looked at it in one gulp.

In a courtyard in the west of the city, Lu Chunru was walking up and down in the bedroom with a restless expression.

He knew immediately when Wang Ji, Yang Lian and others were "captured" by the forbidden army and entered the palace, and they were always in a state of panic and anxiety.He had cooperated with Wen Tiren before, but as a result, Wen Tiren was transferred to Annan, and it was useless to go far away. Later, when he got in touch with Wang Ji, he had a lot of opportunities and did a lot of things.

But if Wang Ji reported this, he would be dead!

"How long has it been, why is there no news at all..."

Lu Chunru looked in the direction of the palace, wiping away the cold sweat.With his qualifications and his past, once he reveals the beginning and end, he will never survive, so his heart is on fire, and he has no peace at all.

Like him, Wu Youwei in Wang Ji's mansion was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting in the pavilion.

If Yang Lian was called into the palace, he could understand it, but why Wang Ji was also called in, which seemed unusual. What's more, the imperial guards who seldom left the palace came to detain people in person.

Even though he has found out now that the six ministers are treated the same, he is still apprehensive and fearful, after all, they have done too many things that cannot be put on the table.

In addition to them, there are more people who are suddenly uneasy and waiting anxiously.

Shangguan's house in the west of the city.

Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise and excitement.

Shangguan Jizong was locked in the room, and now he was crying and shouting: "Father, let me out, I'm going to save the eldest lady, she can't be sent to the palace, this will harm her for the rest of her life..."

Not far from the door, Mrs. Shangguan was surrounded by a group of maidservants, looked at the closed door, and anxiously advised: "My son, don't think about that Miss Zhang family anymore. Mrs. Zhang has sent a message to let you Give up... the palace doesn't know yet, it would be great if they knew..."

Shangguan Jizong's voice was quite stern, he slapped the door and shouted: "Mother, Miss Zhang and I really love each other. We have an oath to each other. She won't be willing to enter the palace. If you let me out, I will be able to convince her." Yes, I will definitely be able to convince the emperor not to marry Miss Zhang..."

Mrs. Shangguan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, son, don't talk like that again, you will be killed!"

"Woooo..."

It was quiet inside for a while, and suddenly there was a whining sound. Shangguan Jizong patted the door lightly, and cried: "Mother, I can't live without Miss Zhang. If she enters the palace, she will never be happy for the rest of her life. She will never be happy." Killed..."

Mrs. Shangguan had a distressed expression on her face, she wanted to go forward, but hesitated and didn't move, she just tried to persuade: "Son, Miss Zhang is really not something we can climb now, even if she doesn't enter the palace, she won't marry her." your……"

"No, it won't, I have an oath of eternal love with Ms. Zhang." Shangguan Jizong yelled at the crack of the door, "She won't leave me..."

"Son, don't be crazy anymore..." Mrs. Shangguan was about to cry.

Not far away, a middle-aged man came over frowning, with a cold expression and eagle eyes.

"Master, Master..." Mrs. Shangguan rushed over, took his arm and said, "Master, save Jizong, he can't go on like this..."

The person who came was naturally Shangguan Jizong's father. He heard the weeping sound inside the door, and then looked at Mrs. Shangguan's anxious face. He frowned, and suddenly snorted, "You are worthless!"

After speaking, he turned around and strode away.

"Master, master..." Mrs. Shangguan looked at the closed door again, and chased after Mr. Shangguan.

Not long after, a carriage from Shangguan's family came out of the mansion and went straight to Zhang's house. Master Shangguan had a cold and rigid expression on his face.

After the sky was completely lit up, the capital was suddenly filled with murderous aura.

Teams of the patrol battalion left the Yamen of the patrol battalion, changed and strengthened the patrol arrangement of the entire capital.

The Department of Punishments and Prisons of the Ministry of Punishments suddenly assembled, and nearly 200 people were in the Ministry of Punishments, ready to go.

Early in the morning in the Governor's Council, the heads of various departments gathered together, and Prince Jing sat on the top with an indifferent face.
