The people of Jiangnan were panicked, but the turmoil in Yangzhou City gradually subsided at this time, and it was gradually on the right track.

The new prefect of Yangzhou City has arrived, and the new transit envoy has also arrived.

These don't need to be handled by Zhu Youxiao, and these two official positions will not be as important as they used to be in the future.

The salt merchants have almost been cleaned, and the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce has also taken the position.

The things that are counted are done by the people below; The matter of taking over the business, the Internal Affairs Office will also take care of it, basically there is nothing to do with Zhu Youxiao, he can go back to Nanjing directly.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao did the same. The reason why he came to Yangzhou was just to stare at something else.

Now that things are on the right track, it's natural to go.

Zhu Youxiao left Yangzhou and rushed to Nanjing.

At this time, Nanjing is still calm, at least on the surface, no one knows how many undercurrents there are in private.

But even if it is rushing, it is useless, in the face of absolute power, these things are just chicken and dog ears.

The general guarding Nanjing was Cheng Guogong, but he was from Beijing and basically had little to do with the local forces in Nanjing. Even if I have received some benefits and some involvement, I don't care very much. At this time, it is even more impossible to offend the emperor for these people, this is an act of death.

Other than that, it is the Duke of Wei.

During this time, Zhu Youxiao has been sending people to check the Wei Guogong Mansion in private, and Wei Guogong himself has been detained at this time, and it is impossible to make trouble.

As long as the army is stable, then there is no big deal below. Even if there are some ghosts, they can't make any mess.

Is there going to be a rebellion? Who would dare?

When Zhu Youxiao returned to Nanjing, it could be regarded as a big fanfare.

The procession was very long and imposing, and the whole city of Nanjing knew that the emperor had returned.

This is also the effect that Zhu Youxiao wants, and he also wants to tell everyone that the matter in Yangzhou is over, and I am back.

After entering the palace in Nanjing, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Yuer and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Nervous? ”

How could Chen Yuer not be nervous? This is a royal palace!

I followed the emperor back to the palace, I don't know what I will become in the future, and I don't have any confidence in my heart.

Chen Yu'er looked at Zhu Youxiao, bit her lip, wrung her hands, and said a little nervously: "I'm afraid." ”

As for what she was going to face, Chen Yuer knew very well that her only chance was the emperor's care for her.

During the period of returning to the capital, the emperor was alone by his side, and he used this time to fight for his own benefits as much as possible, so that the emperor liked himself. It's the only thing you can do.

Chen Yuer looked at Zhu Youxiao with a pitiful look.

It is usually very effective against men, and the emperor is no different.

Zhu Youxiao naturally smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Yu'er and said, "Don't be afraid, follow me here." Rest assured. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao pulled Chen Yuer and walked inside.

After settling Chen Yu'er, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi beside him and said, "Summoning the civil and military officials in Nanjing, as well as the officials of the six ministries, I will go to the morning court tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi hurriedly agreed.

There is a team in Nanjing, which is something that everyone in the court knows. It's just that no one thought that the emperor would use this team to work and really want to go to court.

This team usually has two functions, one is to train reserve cadres, and the other is to provide for the elderly.

Some of the most prestigious officials in the imperial court offended the emperor and were usually sent here to retire, and by the way, they were in charge of several provinces in the south.

At the same time, there may be another intention, that is, in the future, if something happens one day, this place can be used as a backup.

The Kaifeng of the Great Song Dynasty was lost, and it was still engaged in the south for so many years. If something happens to Da Ming in the north one day in the future. It is also possible to set up another imperial court in Nanjing, and it can be put into operation directly.

In such a situation, a team is actually very necessary. Even if there is no need to exist, it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to abolish the capital of Nanjing.

It is not an impossible fact that the two capitals are parallel, and there have been many such things in all dynasties.

During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, Xijing, and Luoyang, Tokyo, the emperor ran around in two places when he had nothing to do, staying here for half a year and staying there for half a year.

Since the time of Li Shimin, there has been this practice. It's just that sometimes I go to Luoyang for dinner, after all, it is too far to transport grain from Jiangnan to Chang'an, and it costs too much along the way.

Moreover, Guanzhong was densely populated, and there was a food shortage, so the emperor took the civil and military ministers and princes and nobles to Luoyang to eat. This is called eating.

Daming naturally does not have such a crisis, but in the next few years, the north will also be quite difficult.

If you live in Nanjing, it is very convenient to encounter things. But it is necessary to get the affairs of the north done after it is done, otherwise the north is easy to mess up, and it is impossible to guard it without itself. After this time, I believe that I have this energy.

After the news spread, there was also an uproar in Nanjing. Everyone was thinking, what is the emperor going to do?

Summoning them?

If so, is it too late at this time? He should have been summoned when he came.

No one thought it was a good thing for the emperor to go to the early dynasty in Nanjing, after all, the affairs of Yangzhou had just passed.

The emperor killed a lot of people in Yangzhou, copied so many houses, and arrested so many people, if it was a good thing, it would be strange.

But no one dared not come, everyone was waiting, waiting to go to the court early the next morning,

It's just a small meeting, a big and small meeting, before the early dynasty, Zhu Youxiao had already found everyone.

This time, there was not a single local official in Nanjing who participated in the meeting, and all of them were brought by Zhu Youxiao. Except for the cabinet members, there are people from Jinyiwei and the General Administration, and everyone has already arrived.

After his eyes swept over everyone's faces, Zhu Youxiao said: "The matter in Yangzhou is simply shocking! Officials are corrupt, businessmen are lawless, and the people of Yangzhou are living in dire straits. I am the Son of Heaven, and I am really entrusted by heaven and earth to let the people go through this great difficulty! ”

"This is still the case in Yangzhou, but what about other places in the south of the Yangtze River? I decided to conduct an inventory in Jiangnan to investigate all the merchants and officials, and severely punish all those who commit adultery and criminal acts, those who violate laws and disciplines, and those who oppress the good.

"The cabinet dispatched officials and manpower to stabilize the yamen at all levels, and did not allow chaos; Jin Yiwei cooperated with the Department of Communications to investigate and arrest people; The local internal affairs offices are responsible for receiving the aftermath and absolutely do not allow anyone to hoard and disrupt the market. ”

"If there is such an act, no matter who it is, all of them will be punished and severely punished!"

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao's gaze swept over everyone's faces and said, "As for the military, Lu Xiangsheng, you keep an eye on all of them, so that they must not act rashly." Anyone who dispatches men without permission will be punished as a conspiracy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly took a step forward and agreed,

"Alright, let's go back and prepare. Tomorrow morning, I will announce the news to the public, and when the time comes, everyone will move, and do not let me down. ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The magnitude of this purge and the breadth of the involvement can be said to be very rare in all dynasties.

But Zhu Youxiao knows that today, Daming has reached the time when he needs to scrape bones to cure poison; If you don't do that, you can't do anything.

I don't have time to clean up one province after another, and I don't have time to clean up one province after another.

What I can do now is to make a thorough move, with the cooperation of the internal affairs offices all over the country, and with the information collected by Jinyiwei and Lichunyuan, there will basically be no big mistakes this time, and all the people who should be cleaned up will be cleaned up.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao already had a list in his hand, which was handed over by the people below, and it involved all the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although it is said that this is what is shouted to the outside world, in fact, it has been prepared for eight years, and now all we have to do is to arrest and try people with great fanfare, and there is nothing else to do.

This time, he wants to sweep Jiangnan away and defeat all of them who are holding together.

The expressions on everyone's faces were very serious, this holy decree of the emperor was beyond imagination, and no one expected the emperor to do this.

Some people hesitated, but soon they were glared back by Zhu Youxiao.

It's been eight years, and after being on the throne for so long, Zhu Youxiao knows very well in his heart that he is fighting here.

As long as there is an army, there will be no chaos. Whoever dares to rebel will put down the rebellion.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty will not be peaceful in the future, and there are many peasant uprisings in various places, so they will be swept away before this.

Zhu Youxiao will have to solve other problems when he goes back, such as the ice age is getting more and more serious, there are more and more floods and droughts in various places, and earthquakes and so on are endless.

Zhu Youxiao needs to solve this matter, rearrange the land, change taxes, and even go to sea.

As a last resort, grain must be transported from the south; Things in the north also need to be resolved as soon as possible, so there is no time to detour.

It's nothing more than fighting a war to quell the rebellion, and if someone rebels, they will fight, anyway, the manpower is ready, and with the equipment of the Son of Heaven's army, there is no problem in killing these rebels.

Everyone walked out of the palace with very solemn faces.

Zhu Youxiao stood beside the dragon chair, turned his head to look at Chen Hong who was not far away, and said, "Is the crown dress you prepared ready?" ”

The latest chapter is in ? on the update

"Back to the emperor, it's ready." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, he didn't dare to slack off at all.

You know, the crown dress, it can't be worn at any time, and you can't wear it on non-major occasions.

The crown dress can only be worn during the great court meeting, or to worship the heavens and ancestors. Usually the emperor does not wear a crown robe.

The crown garment, as people in later generations should know, is the kind of garment with a beaded curtain in front of the hat.
