"Do you want me to deliver a letter to you?" Zhang Weixian has some hatred that iron does not become steel.

To what extent His Majesty has mastered the capital, although the ministers of the court and the central government do not have a specific understanding in their hearts, they all know very well in their hearts that His Majesty's understanding of the capital is definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

Whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, His Majesty spends a lot of money on them every year. Where the money went, basically no one knew, and no one dared to check His Majesty's accounts.

In the past two years, nothing major has happened in the imperial court, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang have not been allowed to do anything, so what did the money do?

Everyone can guess that it is nothing more than arranging manpower, or even buying manpower.

His Majesty knows very well the turmoil in the capital, and even in the mansions of various courtiers, there may be people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and it is estimated that many people in their families have been bought.

In such a situation, everyone should be careful in what they do. Even the courtiers knew that there were people in their own families.

For example, the British public Zhang Weixian, he knows who is a secret agent in the family, but he can't expose it, let alone drive people away, he can only pretend that he doesn't know anything, and he can't hide it from this secret agent when he does things.

This feeling is very unpleasant, but this is His Majesty's arrangement, do you dare to turn your face?

In such a situation, the courtiers had to be careful in their every move.

If it's a small action, forget it, but if it's a big action, you really don't dare to do it, and you're afraid of causing trouble for yourself.

For example, this time, His Majesty is going to Nanjing, and Dingguo Gong is worried about the Wei State Mansion in Nanjing, and he wants to help, at least pass on a message to the past, so that they can make some preparations in advance.

But in fact, Dingguo Gong did not dare to do this. He passed the news over, and His Majesty knew about it, and this kind of thing would definitely not make His Majesty happy.

So Dingguo Gong found the British Prince, hoping that the British Duke could help him come up with ideas.

Zhang Weixian doesn't want to care about this kind of, what does it have to do with him?

Even if there is something in the Wei Mansion, it is nothing more than being extorted some money by His Majesty, can they still remove their family's title? Or do you want to arrest and kill their family?

Even if you catch and kill it, it's not a big deal. has been inherited for so many years, and there must be a lot of scum in the family. It may be a good thing to kill a group with His Majesty.

What's more, this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Weixian, so he doesn't bother to care.

Ding Guogong said helplessly: "We are all of one heart. ”

Zhang Weixian glanced at Ding Guogong, and the expression on his face was very strange.

What do you say at this time? Do you still want to unite against Your Majesty? What do you think of yourself?

In the past, these people were pressed by civil officials. Although there is military power on the surface, in reality the right is just that. After so many years, civil officials can clean up their own people as much as they want, let alone the emperor?

What now?

Today's emperor not only has the support of civil officials, but also the pro-army yamen of the Son of Heaven. As for the two pro-armies of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Weixian felt that he was definitely invincible in the world.

Although he didn't know what His Majesty was waiting for, and he didn't know why His Majesty had not started a war in Liaodong for a long time, Zhang Weixian understood that this was definitely not a reason to provoke His Majesty.

"Do it yourself!" Zhang Weixian left such a sentence, turned around and walked out.

Zhang Weixian is really too lazy to talk nonsense with Dingguo Gong, he has to prepare well, and it is best to see if there is a chance to go to Jiangnan with him.

This should be a good opportunity, and after arriving in Gangnam, there are many things that can be done.

Now there is a mood brewing in the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the situation is not very good. Especially after the Son of Heaven raised up in his own army, there was more criticism in various places, and the staff office received more news.

Zhang Weixian believes that this situation may not last long.

As a relatively famous nobleman in the late Ming Dynasty, and following Zhu Youxiao for so long, Zhang Weixian was able to more or less touch Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.

That is, His Majesty is likely to do something, and the reason is these armies.

His Majesty is likely to abolish the military household system, after all, the Son of Heaven's pro-army is recruited. Your Majesty must have this idea, but now there is not enough money and food.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao really has such thoughts. As for the army, the army of the Ming Dynasty must be streamlined, and the future wars will not be won by numbers.

In a country as big as the Ming Dynasty, it is enough to maintain an army of about one million, of course, referring to the firearms troops. In the era of cold weapons, the number of people still has the final say.

Ding Guogong looked at Zhang Weixian, who was leaving, with a helpless expression on his face, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

Although he came to Zhang Weixian, he actually came to test His Majesty's attitude.

If Zhang Weixian agrees, then it means that His Majesty's attitude has been relaxed; If Zhang Weixian disagrees, it means that His Majesty's attitude is not negotiable.

Now that he has got the answer he wants, Dingguo Gong is also ready to leave the palace. Anyway, this matter can't be managed, so just leave it alone, let's get out of here first.

The news soon spread that the emperor was going south, which was a big deal.

For some officials in the south, their hearts began to tremble in an instant.

When the emperor left the palace, the things that came out can be said to be vivid, that is, the head fell to the ground and the blood flowed like a river.

Now that His Majesty is actually leaving the palace again, and it's Jiangnan, who knows what will happen?

Even some businessmen in Jiangnan have no confidence in their hearts, especially businessmen who have done some illegal business, and they are afraid in their hearts.

Nothing is going to happen, is it?

At the beginning, a large number of businessmen in Zhangjiakou were killed, and they had no bottom in their hearts. Even Jin merchants were involved, and many Jin merchants were killed by raiding their homes. This time Your Majesty goes to Jiangnan, will it be the same as before?

All the people had no confidence in their hearts, and for a while, public opinion was overwhelming, and the voice of opposition could be said to be very loud.

As for the reasons for opposition, that, of course, is varied.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this, but just summoned a few ministers in the palace.

The leader is naturally Zhao Bingzhong, and by his side is Chen Sihai.

These two people are now Zhu Youxiao's henchmen, and they have not been promoted for several years, but no one dares to underestimate them.

In the past few days, they have handled quite a few cases, and all cases involving officials are now basically under their control. They now have a bit of the meaning of the Ming Discipline Inspection Commission, and it can be said that their strength is very strong.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the two people in front of him and said, "You're almost ready, right?" ”

In fact, in the past four years, although Zhu Youxiao seems to have done nothing and is very stable, the secret arrangement has never stopped.

Whether it is Dongchang Jinyiwei or their side, they are all rapidly arranged. A lot of things are arranged unconsciously, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs will cooperate.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao has mastered a lot of things. In the past, it was just that the lid was not lifted, but now that the time comes, it is natural to lift the lid fiercely, so that these people know what is called state-owned national law.

After hearing this, Zhao Bingzhong said directly: "Your Majesty, you are almost ready. ”

"Well, it couldn't be better." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This time I will take you with me when I go south, and it will depend on your performance when the time comes." Don't let me down. ”

Zhao Bingzhong and the two nodded at the same time, stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will not let Your Majesty down." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded again and said, "Okay, the two of you go, go back and prepare well, and we will leave in a few days." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Bingzhong and the two agreed again, turned around and walked out.

After Zhao Bingzhong and the two left, Zhu Youxiao stood up, moved his muscles, and walked towards the harem.

In fact, there is still trouble in the harem. Although Zhu Youxiao hasn't been out for a few years, this time he wants to go out, and the time will definitely not be too short.

The queen has to explain there, after all, she has already made the queen very dissatisfied when she ran out before. The women of the harem still have to be appeased.

It's just that these two days are estimated to be very tiring, and in the next few days, Zhu Youxiao did not go to court and has been hiding in the harem.

The courtiers couldn't find Zhu Youxiao, so they could only oppose it in the inscription.

It's a pity that it's useless, and in such a situation, they can only watch Zhu Youxiao prepare to leave.

Because the matter of preparing to go south has never stopped, and it can be said that it is in full swing.

After another two days, the imperial court issued a holy decree.

This time he went south, accompanied by Xu Guangqi.

On the staff office side are Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli.

As for Zhang Weixian and Han Yi, they just stayed in the capital to assist the government.

The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Ciliao, was crowned as the king of An, and supervised the administration of the country when Zhu Youxiao left Beijing.

Although His Royal Highness King An is only six years old now, such a heavy responsibility is already on his shoulders.

If Daddy wants to go out to play, he can only leave him behind. As for his administration of the country, it is basically nominal, and it is still Zhang Weixian, Han Yi and others who are in charge. But the name is sometimes important.

And so the matter was settled.

Zhu Youxiao stood in front of the palace, looking into the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what kind of situation he would be when he went out this time, and he didn't know what would happen. I am afraid it will not be so easy to go to Jiangnan this time.

After all, above the court, there are many people who oppose the things they do, and there are even more people who are afraid, maybe someone will take risks.

You must know that the son is still young, if he dies; Then the situation becomes interesting.

Looking up at the cloudy sky, Zhu Youxiao muttered, "I just don't know if you have the ability." ”
