He narrowed his eyes slightly until they became a small slit, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, servant, can you still believe that everyone inside and out is the factory supervisor."

Wang Chaofu snorted coldly, turned and left.

At the same time, outside the Anding Hall.

The two signs and a group of young eunuchs were discussing something in private, Wang Chengen came to listen to a few words, before he could express his opinion, he heard an order with a little anger from the hall.

At this juncture, apart from Wei Zhongxian, there are very few big crotches such as Wang Chaofu who often stays in front of the imperial court, who dare to get close to Zhu Youxiao's body.

The eunuchs outside look at me and I look at you, none of them rushed there.

It was Wang Chengen, who gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and stepped in.

One foot went in, but the other foot stumbled on the low threshold. Wang Chengen groaned and fell forward.

Realizing something, he raised his head trembling all over, pleading guilty constantly.

Surprisingly, the Tianqi emperor above was not furious, and was extremely calm, but this calm made him feel hairy, and he didn't dare to express himself even more.

"Call Jin Yiwei Qianhu Tian Ergeng into the palace."

"Send an edict to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, telling them to enter the palace!"

Chapter 321 Changing Southern Zhili to Jinling Province

"Have you all heard that Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng have been summoned into the palace, and these two are direct descendants cultivated by the emperor!"

"Sun Chuanting has only been an official for two years, and Lu Xiangsheng has only been copying and writing in the Imperial Academy for half a year. How can he be summoned to meet the saint!"

Nanzhili Changzhou Prefecture, Wuxi Academy.

There are fifty or sixty people gathered here, and the number is still increasing. Most of them are civil servants from the Nanjing revolution.

Everyone's face was full of righteous indignation and worry.

"You may not know, but I have heard that Tian Ergeng was also summoned into the palace!"

"Calling Wei Zhongxian's murderous minions to harm people, isn't this nonsense!"

"Da Ming is going to be finished!"

It is true that some people don't know the news that Tian Ergeng has been reused again. After the last time he did not do well, the governor Tian was rarely given any important tasks by the school committee of Zhu You, and it was all trivial matters.

It's just that the voices against reform are too loud now, which gave him another chance.

As soon as the news came out, there was a burst of shouting and cursing in Wuxi Academy.

"This time the resignation is not limited to Nanjing. In the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, a large number of officials and government offices have been resigned, and the people are full of resentment. If this continues, the world will be in chaos!"

"After all, the emperor is young, so he must have listened to the eunuch's words, and thought that this move would save money for the treasury, but he didn't know that it was suicidal!"

"If it continues like this, I'm afraid the old incident of Zhengde will repeat itself!"

Wang Duo, Minister of Rites of Nanjing, also stood up and said in a deep voice:

"Right now, my Daming is in troubled times, and I can't stand such a toss..."

With that said, he cupped his hands and said to everyone:

"My lords, please make concerted efforts to dissuade the emperor from acting so capriciously, let alone arrogating the ancestral system, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of the country!"

Zou Weilian from Jiangxi, Xia Jiayu from Songjiang, and Jiang Yunyi from Jiaxing are all representatives of high reputation and mediocre ability among the dismissed officials.

They all frowned tightly, their faces full of solemnity.

Hearing Wang Duo's words, everyone looked at each other for a while, and hurriedly returned the salute to each other, as if they had forgotten that they were no longer officials of Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yongguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, may be the one who knows the current situation the most and is also the one with the most complicated mood.

Originally, Nanjing's rights were basically managed by him and the internal supervisor and guard Du Sheng.

Wei Guogong Xu Hongji is very smart. He gave up his hereditary post of coordinated defense as early as the Wanli period, so he didn't go into this troubled water.

After the rebellion of Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, Nanjing's honorable relatives basically had one heart with the emperor, and Xu Hongji would not grab his own rights at this time.

He knew very well in his heart that this time the emperor came down to clean up the current smoky officialdom in Nanjing!

But Wang Yongguang and Du Sheng didn't expect that there would be an imperial decree to abolish all reforms. They were still fighting to the death, but with Emperor Tianqi's reform decree without warning, the whole situation changed.

Although the Ministry has been laid off, as long as the old palace is still there, Du Sheng, the Chief Supervisor, the Twelve Supervisors, and the bureaus of concubines will still exist.

Inside the imperial city, nothing has changed, but the outside has already turned upside down.

Don't forget that Zhu Youxiao conducted another big test after the reform. According to the results of the big test, the [-] officials who were originally in Nanjing were left behind.

Some of these people may still stay in Nanjing, and some will be filled to serve as officials in other places.

For the latter, they were originally demoted to Nanjing, but this time they could continue to serve as officials after being selected and recruited through the big test. high hang.

Let the stormy seas outside you, I will stand still.

Wang Yongguang belongs to the latter, but his position is the most embarrassing.

Some of the news, the former courtiers of the Ming Dynasty in Wuxi Academy have known for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao decided to downgrade Nanjing's status as the remaining capital to "Xingzai". In other words, another imperial court here will be completely abolished this time.

Zhu Youxiao is using practical actions to tell them that no matter how much trouble you make or how much you oppose, what the emperor has decided must be carried through to the end!

From now on, the Ming Dynasty can only have one capital!

In the future, Nanjing will not even be an accompanying capital. The name "Nanjing" will no longer exist after the reform, and the official name will follow the folks and directly change it back to Jinling.

The post-reform Nanjing was politically similar to Beijing in the Yongle Year.

Xingzai generally refers to the place where the emperor is, or specifically refers to the place where the emperor visits. The Xingzai here is more inclined to the latter and is a temporary establishment.

This "temporary", Zhu Youxiao intends that there will be no further changes for at least ten years.

For the time being, let’s change Nanjing to travel in ten years, and let’s talk about the future. Maybe the situation at that time is different from the present, and it’s not sure whether to upgrade travel in Nanjing to accompany capital.

This trip in Nanjing is not only Zhu Youxiao's backup method, but also a slight concession made in the midst of opposition.

Of course, this concession is nothing more than that.

In the future, the title of Nanzhili will no longer be officially called Nanzhili. You people can't change it for a while, so you can continue to be called Nanzhili.

However, Nanzhili will be broken up, some state capitals in the middle will be separated, and a Jinling Province will be established. This reform and progress will not change.

In Jinling Province, like other provinces, the three divisions and local garrisons will be re-divided and appointed. As for the inner twelve prisons and various bureaus in the old palace, this time they will be completely retained, called "Jinling Bank Inner Court".

Zhu Youxiao abolished the Nanjing Small Imperial Court, but retained a Nanjing Small Imperial Palace.

This issue has also been considered. In fact, these eunuchs and court ladies do not spend much money throughout the year, which is much easier to support than the large and complicated Nanjing civil servants.

If they are dismissed, who will maintain the Nanjing Palace?

Keeping them, not only can continue to maintain the Nanjing Imperial Palace, but also can do some things in the nearest Nanjing for Zhu Youxiao in the name of the royal family.

To put it bluntly, this small inner court in Nanjing is equivalent to a branch in the Forbidden City, and there is not much system in the whole.

The short-term use is much greater than the original Nanjing Six, the most important thing is that it is easy to raise.

Wang Yongguang, as the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing and the most powerful person, also knows the corruption and degeneration of Nanjing's bureaucratic system very well.

Originally, Wang Yongguang was dissatisfied. He was a leader in Nanjing before, but he became a commoner in a blink of an eye. Who can bear this?

But after the big test, he was speechless.

Wang Yongguang was retained with the No.1 result of the big test, and was selected as the first governor of Jinling in Jinling Province.

But problems will follow.

Only 500 officials were recruited, and more officials were dismissed. They were all waiting for Wang Yongguang, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, to lead them into trouble.

I used to say that I opposed the reform in Shangshu, and became the governor of Jinling, but I ignored them in a blink of an eye, patted my ass and left.

It's really good to say that it's not good to hear it.

Wang Yongguang, the governor of Jinling, has always avoided places like Wuxi Academy for fear of being too late.

But this group of people made too much noise, blocked the door and refused to let go, and spread rumors among the people all day long, ruining his reputation of being clean and upright.

This time Wang Yongguang couldn't stand it any longer, so he decided to accept the invitation and come over to explain everything clearly.

The people had just arrived, and after hearing their complaints, I felt a little sympathetic to the current emperor. After all, this group of people should be laid off...

As for himself?

To be honest, Wang Yongguang is quite proud.

I thought to myself that the emperor is not stupid, he is really good at employing people, it seems that the gold content of that big test is very high, the top [-] admitted must have real talents and hard work, just like myself.

No.1 in the Nanjing Grand Examination, this is the No. [-] scholar in the Palace Examination!

Those who are left by your ability, you yourself are not capable enough to be dismissed by the court, what does this have to do with me?

Thinking of this, he smiled, stood up and said:

"Everyone, just listen to Ben Fu..."

Everyone still respects the original Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. After all, Wang Yongguang's ability is obvious to all.

Wang Yongguang said:

"According to the book, you should go to the Southwest to give lectures!"

"The imperial court has a policy, giving priority to post-enrollment as officials when giving lectures in the Southwest. Although you are no longer appointed by the imperial court, if you invite to give lectures in the Southwest, Your Majesty is benevolent and will allow it."

"Two years later, he is Ben Fu's good colleague again!"

After everyone listened, there was silence for a while.

Listen, is this human?

Chapter 322 Personnel Arrangements in Southern Zhili

The original big brother who took the lead suddenly became the biggest beneficiary of this reform.

Even the chaebols behind Wang Yongguang were silent, and the rest of the group looked at each other, not knowing whether to condemn or continue to recommend a leader.

But right now, this group of people are all ghost spirits.

No one would be in a hurry to be the leader at this time. The party at Wuxi Academy was originally heard that the former Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing was coming, and everyone was so eager.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yongguang came to have a showdown with them.

With Wang Yongguang's departure, the group of people who got together temporarily in Wuxi Academy all broke up unhappy.

Just like the nobles not long ago, the big brother was full and left behind a group of younger brothers. No matter how much trouble they made, they were just victims of this reform.

In the past few days, Zhu Youxiao basically showed a violent and irritable state in front of the courtiers.

In addition, Wang Chaofu deliberately indulged the eunuchs to spread rumors among each other, and the news from the palace soon swept the official circles and the people.

Soon, Zhu Youxiao was furious again at a court meeting.

Several imperial edicts were issued in succession, arresting those who should be arrested in Wuxi Academy, and those who should be implicated.

After Tian Ergeng was summoned for an audience, he continued to "run amok" in Nanjing. He led the Jinyi guards of the supervisory department to supervise the recent rumors in the palace among the people.

The Supervising Department has not yet done anything to the Xuankun Party. After all, the persimmons are weak, and the group of people in Wuxi Academy have become headless chickens with Wang Yongguang's withdrawal.

In recent actions, the Supervision Department only targeted Wuxi Academy.

For the people in Wuxi Academy, being beheaded is no longer a big deal. Several people from the Supervision Department took them out of their homes and beheaded them in the street.

Jin Yiwei's bloody and unscrupulous methods almost explained what kind of order Zhu Youxiao gave Tian Ergeng when he was summoned.

The ministers were so nervous because they didn't know what the emperor said.

But it is foreseeable that after a period of turmoil and forbearance, Emperor Tianqi's iron-fisted suppression began.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Xiangsheng, the Xijiangkou soldier, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Suzhou, still returned to their respective camps after being summoned to the palace. One reorganized the rebel army, and the other continued to patrol and station in various places in Suzhou, as if nothing had happened.

Of these two people, one was the second place hand-picked by the emperor in the imperial examination in the second year of the apocalypse, and the other was a direct descendant who was single-handedly selected by the emperor.

They didn't take any action, which just shows that Emperor Tianqi launched Jin Yiwei to suppress him first, and he may be planning a bigger move.

But what will this bigger move be?

Sometimes, what you don't know is the most creepy thing, and this is the case with the ministers who are now opposing reform.

On the contrary, the chaebol groups behind them are not worried at all, and they continue to feast and have fun, singing and dancing every day.
