Domineering Daming

Chapter 887

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table slowly, his gaze was as calm as an abyss.

It is absolutely impossible to repeat the old events in Liaodong in the south, but this "perverseness" is particularly interesting, and prefectures and counties such as North Korea and Ryukyu have also been wooed, which is more worthy of scrutiny.

At the beginning when attacking Annan, Ryukyu, Satsuma, Horqin, North Korea, etc. all contributed. What Zhu Xu needed was an open space, and he didn't have the energy to sort out so many troublesome things. He also wanted to give these younger brothers some sweetness, so that they could be driven in the future. Therefore, Annan split into two.

North Annan occupied more than half of Annan, and South Annan was divided into nine and given to these people's younger brothers. Among them, Dorgon, who was a slave, was the strongest.

The southeast peninsula is now full of chaos, torn apart, and extremely weak. There are not many strong ones, but their land is fertile and their products are abundant. The slave cavalry of Dorgon and others are also in a slump. Fertile land is needed.It has long been a habit for them to use war to support war. Before they have a firm foothold, they want to annex the small forces around them and expand their strength.

Zhu Xu looked at the playbook, and there was a constant sound of the horse's hooves being tapped with his fingers.

He just wanted to let go of Dorgon and let him toss around the peninsula. The bigger the movement, the better. It would be best to mess up the southeast peninsula, so that it would be convenient for the Ming Dynasty to "receive".

Wen Tiren has abilities and methods, but he has a poor view of the overall situation. He is similar to the civil servants of Ming Dynasty. His eyes are all focused on "China", and he does not have the ambition and vision to actively expand. He always wants to return to Beijing.

Zhu Xu's eyes flickered, he threw the playbook aside, and said to himself, "Let's just wait."

Cao Huachun glanced at Wen Tiren's memorabilia, and quietly withdrew.

Zhu Xu casually picked up another copy, which was written by Fang Kongzhang, Governor of Jiangsu Province. Apart from talking about Qian Qianyi, there was also the "business" of Jinyin Village. Thirty thousand, all kinds of people, complicated and difficult to understand, all kinds of things happened.Due to Bumbutai's special status and the special status of Jinyin Village, Nanzhili was a little bit tied up and down.

Except for the Foreign Affairs Bureau, all other powers in Jinyin Village are basically in the hands of Bumbutai.The Foreign Affairs Bureau is the Empress Dowager's biological father, the Duke Zhang Guoji is in charge, and he is also a hands-off shopkeeper. Facing the things that happened in Jinyin Village, although they have piled up in the governor's office in Jiangsu, they have no way to deal with them.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. This was expected. When new things emerge, they will always be entangled, suppressed, chased and intercepted by the old forces, and even try to eliminate them in vain.

Followed by the cabinet draft, the handwriting is vigorous, upright and straight, obviously Bi Ziyan's handwriting, only eight characters: "Strictly legal, discretionary."

The replies from the superiors are always very knowledgeable, and the people below need to work hard to figure out the essentials, but Zhu Xu can see through it at a glance.

Bi Ziyan still hopes to fasten "commercial", and he has many doubts about maritime trade. Although it cannot be banned, he still wants to be careful not to "play around".

Withdrawing Bi Ziyan's draft, Zhu Xu picked up a pen and wrote: Jinyin village is assigned to the imperial court directly under the current decree, and everything should be done according to the decree, and Jiangsu shall not do it without authorization.

"Send it outside." Zhu Xu closed it and handed it to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun took it, but without opening it to look, said: "Yes." Immediately, an inner eunuch was summoned, and he whispered to send it to Zheng Youyuan, the secretary of the cabinet.

Regarding the affairs of Jinyin Village, Zhu Xu needs to be able to develop as he pleases without being influenced by the outside world. After all, Bumbutai is a Mongolian woman with limited Confucianism and less restraint in doing things. No matter how she develops in the future, she will be A start will form an uninterrupted impact on the inside and outside of Daming.

This kind of shock, Zhu Xu hoped that the bigger the better.

Qian Qianyi went to Beijing and was imprisoned in the Governor's Council. Various criticisms emerged one after another, permeating the entire capital.

Qian Qianyi—in opposition, he was a leader in the literary world; in office, he was a minister of the Ministry of Rites.All of them are quite prominent, not ordinary people.

He was escorted to the capital for trial in such a "glamorous" way this time, which really shocked many people, but how the common people discussed it is one thing to watch the excitement. It had nothing to do with running, they were all silent, as quiet as usual.

However, that night, it seemed that the quiet period had passed, or the news that the Supervisory Council would be in court tomorrow was "leaked", and the capital was boiling up and down.

At the beginning, some memorials were handed over to the cabinet, and those who were a little more "righteous" wrote that "the court is lenient, treats scholars generously, treats people according to circumstances, guides and disciplines people, and the severity should be moderate."It probably means that the state has always been magnanimous, and the most important thing is to treat scholars with forgiveness.

If you are a little too radical, you can say bluntly, "There are rules in front of you, rules in your life, and rules in your life." Is it reasonable?

The most violent one even directly sprayed, and there was anger between the lines: "There is no fear in the temple, no resentment in the world, as a scholar, it is difficult to forgive before and after, and the sword is on the body, what is the fate of the fish?"

In the several old class rooms of the cabinet, the lights were brightly lit, and almost everyone saw a similar playbook.

Wang Qiaonian, Prince Jing, Sun Chuanting and others were all assigned powers, and they also had the right and obligation to deal with some memorials from various places in the court and the opposition. Now the lights shone on the faces of several people, making it very dim and difficult to see.

For a while, Wang Qiaonian held the notebook, and just opened the door, he saw Prince Jing coming out not far from the opposite door, and before he raised his hand, Sun Chuanting also came out not far away with a plate.

Sun Chuanting raised his head and was also slightly startled, but he came over immediately and said, "Let's all go to Bi Ge's old class."

Both of the others nodded, looking a little dignified.

After listening to the three of them, Bi Ziyan sat still and said, "Well, I saw some of them too. These people should have nothing to do with Qian Qianyi, but out of some misunderstanding or ignorance. Tomorrow, when the public trial , Chaobao, and the six newspapers must be read, and then published as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts and curb criticism."

Prince Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The emperor still has a long-term plan. He should have expected to let the Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Officials and other ministers listen in early."

Bi Ziyan did not speak, and sometimes had to admit that the emperor saw farther and clearly than he did in some matters.

Sun Chuanting thought more, and said: "Today is just a 'suggestion', and I am afraid that there will be many people who are lobbying and lobbying tomorrow. We must make preparations earlier, especially the Governor's Council and Dali Temple. , can't relax at all!"

King Jing and Wang Qiaonian's hearts froze, knowing what Sun Chuanting was referring to, they nodded almost at the same time.

Dali Temple and the Governor's Council are different from the six ministries in terms of organization. They are not directly under the cabinet and have a certain degree of "independence". This is especially strengthened by the entry of King Jing and Wang Qiaonian into the cabinet this time.Neither of them wanted the cabinet to intervene in their yamen, so they nodded decisively.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting's words had another meaning - if the two yamen were infiltrated and Qian Qianyi was acquitted, then the fun would be great.

Chapter 888

Early the next morning, a group of people left the west gate of the capital and headed west.

Walking in the front are Zhu Xu and Fu Changzong, shoulder to shoulder, with thick dew on their bodies.

Zhu Xu and Fu Changzong hadn't had such a serious conversation alone for many days, and this time, Fu Changzong was leaving Beijing, so the two of them had a lot of topics to talk about.

Fu Changzong was half a step behind Zhu Xu, and said in a relaxed tone: "Your Majesty, although the Ministry of Household Affairs has taken a lot of power from the cabinet, it still directly and indirectly controls and influences a lot, and the cabinet cannot fully control it. Be careful..."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

He can understand what Fu Changzong said, and he knows it well.For Fu Changzong, Zhu Xu felt somewhat guilty.In the past few years, he has been estranged intentionally or unintentionally. This estrangement has both the need of being an emperor and the meaning of preserving the Fu family.

After all, the Fu family is a foreign relative, and both father and son are considered prominent, and they have taken a lot of blame for him over the years.If they want to start well and end well, the Fu family can't get too close to him, the emperor.

Fu Changzong didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking in his heart, and his expression was calm as usual, saying: "The current relationship network of the household department is very huge, and the ministers have also deliberately cleaned it up these years, but some of them still cannot be eliminated. Zhang Bingwen has both abilities and character. Yes. But sometimes he will be very stubborn and difficult to persuade... I am a little worried that in the future he will find out that certain things will conflict with the cabinet and even the emperor..."

Zhu Xu did a lot of "illegal" things before he became the throne, especially after he became the throne. These things have their own purposes and involve many people. Over the years, they have formed a huge and complicated network. The cover of the "New Deal" was quietly sorted out and cleaned up. Now that the situation has changed drastically, some people who are not Zhu Xu's confidantes and who don't understand the secrets back then will inevitably lead to some troubles.

"Let the cabinet handle this." Zhu Xu said casually.Why centralize the cabinet, just let them deal with these troublesome things, as an emperor, how can he do everything by himself?

Fu Changzong was just reminding, he wasn't really worried, so after saying these few words, he stopped talking.

Zhu Xu didn't speak either, and the two walked slowly.

It was still very early, and there were no people on the official road. Not far behind them were Fu Changzong and Zhu Xu's carriage and a group of people following them.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, looked up into the distance, and said after deliberation: "I have no other instructions for going to the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. There is only one word: 'stable'! The land of Shaanxi and Gansu has been the source of war since ancient times. , The change of the dynasty must start from here. Chaos started in the early Ming Dynasty, and I have exhausted all means. Now Liaodong has reached the time to digest it. It will not be able to accept new immigrants within two or three years. Annan's side can do it, but all at once It can't hold much, and it will take time... As you know, the current national treasury cannot withstand years of large-scale counter-insurgency wars, and the court is streamlining its troops and streamlining its administration. Therefore, Shaanxi and Gansu must be stable and there must be no major disturbances..."

Fu Changzong naturally knew that the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty was the "New Deal". If there were troubles in the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu, it would definitely disrupt the plans and arrangements of the imperial court, and the impact would be too great.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Fu Changzong said: "I have done some research on the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu these days. Whether it is from the governors or the generals, they are all capable and dedicated to the country. If they can unite as one, If we respond adequately, there should be no major disturbances in Shaanxi and Gansu."

The Ming Dynasty immigrated from Shaanxi, Gansu and other six provinces very early, and now the total number exceeds 700 million, most of whom are young and strong. This is certainly a lack of young and strong labor for the six provinces, but also The danger of them is greatly reduced, and there are not many troubles. In addition, there are nearly 40 troops, which is a reassurance for the court.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said: "This is full of civil and military affairs. I have thought about many people. After much deliberation, it is best for my uncle to go. Although it is a bit hard, but with this transition, it will be a matter of course for my uncle to join the cabinet in the future. Few people gossip .”
