Listening to Meng Zhaoxiang's words, Wei Xuelian was stunned and said, "What else do you know?" ”

Meng Zhaoxiang glanced around, and said in a low voice, "As far as I know, the Ministry of Officials intends to transfer all the officials of the political department out of Beijing in rotation, Lao Cao, Lao Wei may not move, I estimate that he will go to Feng. Yangfu. ”

Cao Dingjiao frowned, looked at Meng Zhaoxiang and said, "Is it really all?" ”

Meng Zhaoxiang nodded, and said solemnly: "What I heard is this, the Ministry of Officials has been done, and it was originally going to be sent to the Governor's Yuan, but now it is directly sent to the cabinet, as long as the cabinet nods, the matter will be settled, and the appointment order will be issued in February next year." ”

Wei Xuelian suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said, "What is the Ministry going to do?" Will it be impossible to drive us all out? No matter how we say it, we are all protégés of Bi Gelao, how dare they? ”

Meng Zhaoxiang glanced at him and said, "They even dare to move Lao Cao, what are the others?" ”

The corners of Wei Xuelian's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.

Cao Dingjiao's background is really hard, and few people can compare, and there is really no one that this group of people dare not do.

Cao Dingjiao's expression was slightly gloomy, there are about seven or eight hundred students in the Political Yuan who have graduated in the past few years, and they are basically low-level 'officials', if this is the case, they will be suppressed, won't they have no future?

Does the emperor not care?

Thinking of this, Cao Dingjiao's heart moved, and he said, "Do you know what official positions you have been transferred to?"

Meng Zhaoxiang was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know about this, but according to the rules, if you are transferred to another place, you must be promoted to one or three levels, I am a fucheng, and the others should be the main book, the county and the like, if the assessment is good, it is also possible to let the county magistrate go." ”

Cao Dingjiao suddenly understood, his heart was bright, and he said with a smile: "Don't think about it so much, this is most likely what the emperor meant." ”

"Your Majesty?" Wei Xuelian and Meng Zhaoxiang were all shocked, how could they pull the emperor out again.

Cao Dingjiao chuckled lightly and said, "Well, in addition, nearly 500 people have passed the joint examination of the Political Yuan this year, and there are so many official positions, so naturally some must be freed up." ”

Wei Xuelian and Meng Zhaoxiang's expressions moved slightly, and they had some understanding, Meng Zhaoxiang had been in the Ministry for a long time, but he was a little sensitive, and said: "Now the 'New Deal' is a little weak, and those feudal officials are like falling into a quagmire, and the progress is slow, if the emperor intends to start from the bottom up, it is a good way......"

Wei Xuelian thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's still difficult, I'm more than two hundred years old, many things have been deeply rooted, and the local forces are intertwined, just some small masters, small counties, it's far from enough, and when they grow up, it will take at least ten or twenty years, it's too late......"

Cao Dingjiao is just a scholar in the end, his vision is not enough, he can't see clearly, and nodded thoughtfully: "What Lao Wei said is true, but how can we guess the emperor's thoughts, there must be other actions after the year......"

Speaking of this, Meng Zhaoxiang hurriedly said, "Let me tell you a little more, there will be two major events next year, one is that the Great Court Council will be held again, and the governors and governors of all places will enter Beijing." In addition, the emperor is going to get married, and the envoys of the vassal states from all over the country will come. The military department is preparing to perform martial arts outside the Chengtian Gate, and the people and officials are allowed to come and watch when the time comes. ”

Wei Xuelian's eyes lit up and said, "I heard that the emperor is in Nanzhili. Jiandu has performed martial arts, the scene is unprecedented, it is very grand, shocking......"

Cao Dingjiao nodded slightly, and said, "Now that the disaster is spreading in the world, rumors are everywhere, it is really necessary to stabilize people's hearts and deter Xiaoxiao ......."

For what happened in the capital, everyone sitting there was clear, listening to Cao Dingjiao's words, they all frowned, their faces were bored, Wei Xuelian said: "King Jing has entered the cabinet, the Governor's Yuan is already doing thunderbolt measures, at most two days, the capital will be clean......"

The Governor's Yuan contains the power of the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Six Sections, etc., once it is used, it is definitely a sharp weapon!

Meng Zhaoxiang already felt that many people had been taken away by the Governorate and asked to be 'honest', and many of them failed to come back.

"Will the people arrested by the Governor's Yuan also be sentenced to Dali Temple?" Cao Dingjiao asked suddenly, because he remembered that Wang Qiaonian, the deputy president of the Political Yuan, had already taken over as the secretary of Dali Temple.

"This is natural," Wei Xuelian said: "But there are too many people involved, some crimes are not easy to determine, and the year is approaching, I am afraid that the trial will not be concluded at the end of the year." ”

Meng Zhaoxiang said: "Well, the appointment of the officials is also next year, and it seems that next year will not be able to live in peace." ”

Cao Dingjiao listened to the words of the two, nodded slightly, and suddenly looked outside and said, "Is that Lu Guogong?" ”

Meng Zhaoxiang and Wei Xuelian turned their heads to look, only to see a middle-aged man on the street with two entourages, both in civilian clothes, walking from west to east.

"Seems to be." Wei Xuelian looked at the middle-aged man and said to himself: "Isn't Lu Guogong stationed in Miyun?" Didn't you hear he came back? ”

Meng Zhaoxiang said thoughtfully: "It is estimated that it is for the sake of martial arts, and the two battalions are the most elite soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, so they should be them." ”

Cao Dingjiao's heart moved slightly, if it is said that the most elite in the Ming Dynasty should be the forbidden army, they are all one in a hundred, but I don't know if his brother and uncle can return to Beijing this year.

Thinking about it, an entourage hurriedly came up and whispered in Cao Dingjiao's ear, "Childe, those people are blocked in the inn, don't go back." ”

Wei Xuelian sat next to Cao Dingjiao, his ears were pointed, and he said curiously, "What's wrong?" Who is blocking your door? ”

Cao Dingjiao shook his head and said, "It's what you just said, it has been spread, and many people are reluctant to leave Beijing, hoping that I will find Bige Lao to make a statement." ”

Meng Zhaoxiang frowned when he heard this, and said, "They are treating you as a gunman, besides, Bi Ge Lao has always been upright and will not help us." ”

Wei Xuelian also nodded, his expression slightly gloomy.

Although Bi Ziyan is the president of the Royal Political Yuan, he has never been in charge of anything, and the last time he stood up and spoke, he also seemed 'fair' and did not mean to protect them. As for the vice president Wang Qiaonian, he didn't have any ability at that time, even if he was now Dali Siqing, he was obviously very 'small' in front of the officials, and he couldn't speak.

In other words, the students of these political departments are grandmothers who don't love their uncles and don't hurt, and they have to endure being bullied.

Cao Dingjiao looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said with a smile, "Don't worry so much, Bige Lao Justice is not a kind of protection, besides, it's not that it hasn't been decided yet." ”

Wei Xuelian glanced at Cao Dingjiao and sighed: "If I had you see it like this...... Bastard! Your background is so thick, of course don't worry, I have King Jing to follow, and the unlucky one seems to be only Lao Meng? ”

The corners of Meng Zhaoxiang's mouth twitched, he picked up his wine glass, sighed silently in his heart, and made friends with the two of them.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xu had just finished exercising and wiping his sweat with a towel, and Cao Huachun came in from outside.

"Slaves and maids see the emperor." He came to the eaves and hurriedly saluted Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm tired enough to choke this way, tell me first, and then give you three days off." ”

Cao Huachun did rush overnight. They all rushed back, bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Zhu Xu, and said, "This is a handwritten letter from General Qin to the emperor. ”

Zhu Xu took it, didn't open it, looked at him, and said, "Tell me what you saw." ”

Cao Huachun thought about it all the way, and at this time he still considered it: "Yes." From Shaanxi. West to IV. Along the way to Sichuan, the slaves and maids saw thousands of miles of red land, the victims were full of wilderness, and people starved to death every day. The situation in Sichuan is even worse, ten acres of land cannot produce a bucket of grain, disasters every year, civil unrest every year, and soldiers are used every year. Expensive, state, four. This is especially true at the junction of Sichuan and other places, where some toasts gather to form a trend and suppress them inexhaustibly, and they are ...... for one party."

Zhu Xu frowned when he heard this, and at this moment he couldn't tell whether it was Cao Huachun's one-sided view or the four. Chuan and the others deliberately concealed the disaster, but it is certain that it is not peaceful there, and the annual military expenditure is three million taels!

Cao Huachun glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "The slave thinks that four. The population of Sichuan and other places is larger than expected, and the disaster is more serious than the ...... in the notebook."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I know, you go to rest, and take the time to write a notebook of what you have seen and heard, and your thoughts to me." ”

Cao Huachun bowed lightly and said, "Slave obeys." ”

After Cao Huachun left, Zhu Xu picked up Qin Liangyu's handwritten letter, thought for a while before tearing it open and pulling out the letter.

It was Qin Liangyu's handwritten letter, and he knew it as soon as he saw the handwriting.

Qin Liangyu's letter, in the front, was to ask the imperial court to compensate several generals who died in battle, and in the middle was to report her views on Tusi and others, thinking that it must be eliminated, otherwise the tail will not be big and the scourge will be four. Sichuan and other six provinces, and finally talked about some things about 'military reform' and expressed opposition to 'disarmament'. Sichuan and other six provinces must have a large army in charge, otherwise it will be difficult to stabilize and will cause great disasters.

Zhu Xu looked at the letter, his right hand tapping on the small table, and his heart kept scrutinizing.

Qin Liangyu in the fourth. Chuan for decades, no one knows her better than Four. Sichuan, Shaanxi. In the six provinces of the West, what she said must have deeper considerations or worries.

"Your Majesty." Li Jieyu handed three peeled hard-boiled eggs to Zhu Xu and said softly.

Zhu Xu glanced up at her, nodded, and casually took an egg and put it in his mouth, still wandering in his heart.

If it is true as Qin Liangyu said, not only the Ministry of War, but even he is optimistic, not a single immigrant can solve Shaanxi/West. On the issue of Sichuan and other places, we must be cautious in our disarmament plans.

Zhu Xu took a few bites of eggs, took another sip of gruel, thought about it, turned his head to Liu Shimin who was not far away, and said, "Later, Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, and Mao Wenlong will come to the imperial study to see me, and let my uncle come too." ”

"Yes." Liu Shimin bowed slightly and sent someone to pass it on.

Zhu Xu stuffed Qin Liangyu's letter back, ate another egg, teased the next pair of children, and then wiped his face, explained a few words to Li Jieyu, and got up and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

In the imperial study, Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, and Mao Wenlong were all waiting, and they were all a little worried at the moment.

'Generalissimo's Mansion', this institution is too terrible, and it is very unfavorable to Jiangshan Sheji, they have been thinking about how to persuade the emperor to give up this idea for the past few days, and even came up with several other alternatives.
