For the future, Yu Maoheng himself has also thought about it, since he has chosen this path, then he will definitely bear the consequences.

If things succeed in the future, then it will be enough, and you will be able to leave a name in history; If things fail, then you may suffer retaliation, and this is the time to leave room for it.

But you can't help but do it, because if you don't do it, then you are doomed to failure, and standing in line at this time becomes a joke.

For this situation, Yu Maoheng is clear in his heart, so he needs to find someone to rush to the front for him, stand out for himself, and do something inconvenient for himself.

Once there is any difference in the future, this person can also take the lead for himself.

Originally, such a person was hard to find, because no one would want to be this pawn.

But now that he saw Cui Chengxiu, Yu Maoheng knew that he had found the pawn he wanted. Compared with himself, Cui Chengxiu is more ambitious, more motivated, and more unscrupulous.

Yu Maoheng knew that such a person was just for his own use.

Cui Chengxiu naturally didn't know what Yu Maoheng was thinking, he had already sent Wei Zhongxian to the door.

Before Wei Zhongxian got into the carriage, he glanced back at Cui Chengxiu, nodded at him, and said with a gentle smile: "Things are complicated here in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Maoheng is uncertain, you should be careful." ”

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Cui Chengxiu knew that this was concern, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I understand." ”

Cui Chengxiu can also guess some of Yu Maoheng's thoughts. To put it bluntly, Yu Maoheng is using himself as a gunman.

But now these courtiers in the court, who is not His Majesty's gun?

The most critical point is that Cui Chengxiu can see it clearly.

That is, if you want to step forward in this world, you must do things that others can't do, otherwise why should you?

Yu Maoheng used his old Cui as a knife, Cui Chengxiu didn't know about it, but what if he knew?

The saddest thing in the world is not that someone uses you as a pawn, but that you are of no use at all.

At least the pieces will be protected when they are useful, and they will be given preferential treatment; But if you're useless, you can't even become a chess piece, who do you think will take care of you?

If the need arises, you, who are not even a pawn, will be sacrificed first and without hesitation.

Cui Chengxiu has this awareness. As for what will happen to you in the future, let's wait until the future.

However, in order to have a good end for himself, Cui Chengxiu must also work hard to prevent himself from falling to the point of being liquidated.

Cui Chengxiu also knows this in his heart, as for whether it will be liquidated in the future, it will be discussed in the future. If you start worrying about this and that now, then you don't have to do anything, and you can't worry about it for nothing.

The news that Wei Zhongxian went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to arrest people spread like a swarm throughout the capital.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and then Wei Zhongxian arrested many people, all of whom were accused of colluding with the Donglin Party and forming a party for personal gain.

From this moment on, Wei Zhongxian's reputation was completely stinking, and everyone on the street was scolding him.

There are also many people who point the contradiction directly at several scholars in the cabinet, thinking that they flatter the emperor and have no integrity, and they are in vain as scholars, let alone courtiers.

As a result, many people began to impeach cabinet scholars, which made a miasma.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the account book in his hand, and turned his head to look at Chen Hong from time to time, with an excited look in his eyes.

These account books were handed down below, and the contents inside were also very simple, that is, the money that was copied during this period of time.

It is said that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are rich, but Zhu Youxiao didn't believe it originally, but now it seems that these people are indeed rich.

After copying these homes, Zhu Youxiao got more than 4 million taels of silver, and the remaining property and fields were countless.

These things are tossed and tossed for millions of taels, or even tens of millions of taels, it can be said that Zhu Youxiao has made a lot of money in this scene alone.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also thought of another thing, that is, the nobles and relatives of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that they have been inherited since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been more than 200 years, how much family business will they accumulate?

If you get the nobles and relatives, how much money do you have to get?

But for the time being, Zhu Youxiao can only think about it, and there is no reason to do anything to them.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also thought of another group, that is, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty occupied countless lands and countless money and grain, and they can be said to be complete moths of the country, who did not contribute at all, and still lay on the body of the Ming Dynasty to suck blood.

However, Zhu Youxiao also knew that he couldn't move these people for the time being, and if he wanted to move them, he had to adopt a relatively gentle way, otherwise there would definitely be a big mess.

Things need to be done one by one, people need to clean up one by one, and it is impossible to offend everyone at once, otherwise it will be over.

Putting down the account book in his hand, Zhu Youxiao said, "Send all this money to the household department." All the property copied from the family was confiscated, and the people below were told not to sell it privately, and these things should be registered. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid will do it. Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao's approach is uncommon.

According to the old rules, the confiscated money and land would be sold, that is, they would be realized and then divided between the emperor and his ministers.

A king who is not so greedy will basically take 30%; However, if the emperor has no money in the inner treasury and has relatively large expenses, he will take more, basically every time it is different, and the decision will be made according to the situation at the time, and even the ministers will be discussed.

Like Zhu Youxiao, he gave all the money confiscated to the treasury, which is something that ordinary emperors can't do, because the emperor also spends money.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao ordered that the shops and fields confiscated were not allowed to be sold, which was a bit incomprehensible.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao's operation is also a reason for him to leave for himself in the future.

For these fields and shops and other things that were found, Zhu Youxiao was ready to stay and do things on his own in the future.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a very, very big shortcoming, that is, he has been focusing on the imperial village.

Although the output of the Huangzhuang is quite large, which can supply the expenses of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it is far from enough, just to make the emperor enough to eat.

When the courtiers asked the emperor for money, the emperor actually didn't have much money, let alone use the money to do other things.

For the emperor, you must have enough money, otherwise your country will be unstable and your power will be taken away.

In this world, money can make ghosts grind, and nothing can be done without money.

It is not okay to point to the treasury of the ministers, many times you have to spend money, and they will not let you spend it. For example, if you want to expand your guards, the ministers will not let you do these things.

The money allocated from the treasury will not be given to your pro-army, they will only have all sorts of money, and then let you, the emperor, cut the cost.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has always wanted a stable financial source to support himself, which is very important for his reform, but he has not thought of any good way.

This time, Zhu Youxiao intercepted these things that were confiscated, just so that they could be used as capital in the future.

In the following days, the court was still not peaceful and disturbed, but the general trend was much better.

After all, there are several university scholars from the cabinet above, and there are people from Dongchang arresting people below. The three parties cooperated, and the matter was quickly suppressed.

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites was reformed.

Everyone knew that the Ministry of Rites was doing something, because His Majesty had asked them to do it.

After Shen Tingyun took office as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has been busy replenishing manpower and coordinating some internal matters. The matter discussed in the court before has not yet been effectively communicated and laid out.

However, Shen Tingyun already had a preliminary plan, and he only needed to discuss it with His Majesty after discussing it in the Ministry of Rites.

But before that, there is one more thing that is very important for the Ministry of Rites, and that is to prepare for the big wedding for His Majesty.

Fortunately, this is not the first time for the Ministry of Rites, all the materials in the pile of old paper are removed, and then a detailed wedding plan is made, and when His Majesty approves it, it can be implemented according to the plan.

Countless people in the court were arguing, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei were performing various tasks. But the palace was overjoyed, because the wedding of Zhu Youxiao, the young emperor, was coming.

The same Ming Dynasty, the same Beijing Division, but it is a different atmosphere.

While the beheaded official's family was crying and being buried, they were happily preparing to get married.

In such a situation, different people see different things

Some people see the new direction of the new monarch's ascension to the throne and the future of the Ming Dynasty. There is a fire burning in their hearts, and they even do not hesitate to burn themselves out, and move forward bravely for the sake of Daming.

But some people are different, they are feeling nostalgic, they feel that Da Ming is not saved. On the one hand, there is the wailing of loyal and patriotic people, on the other hand, the dawn suffering under the prosperity of the world, and on the other hand, the extravagant emperor and greedy officials. Under this, there is the end of the Ming Dynasty.

All of a sudden, many officials in Beijing took the question book of resignation, and some officials simply fell ill at home.

Everything seems to indicate that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty of the past.

Will Daming be reborn from the ashes, or will he fall into the abyss completely?

Nobody knows.

Forbidden city.

Zhu Youxiao stood alone on the head of the city, looking at the capital at night. Looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the capital, Zhu Youxiao's expression was serious, and he didn't move for a long time.
