Zhu Xu closed the recital and gently slapped it on his leg.

The words of these feudal officials are not entirely a manifestation of habitual thinking and behavior, but should also be a feedback of the actual situation.

But this reaction itself is a kind of stubborn old guard force, a kind of constraint on the 'New Deal'.

The cabinet is now being put on a fast-paced track by him, and it is impossible to slow down, and, in terms of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is also impossible to slow down, and it is impossible to take advantage of the current time to complete the 'New Deal' plan, and when the disaster period is over, everyone breathes a sigh of relief, and it will be even more difficult.

"Conservative forces ......"

Zhu Xu threw down the notebook and sat up, his eyes shining.

cleaned up Donglin and swept away the faintness of the court, but the people of the world have not formed a tide of 'reform', and there is no 'consensus' far from it, and the conservative forces will fight back frantically at any time.

There is no precise division of this 'conservative force', and it is even said that they are all except Zhu Xu, but the degree is different.

Cao Huachun listened not far away, although he didn't understand it very well, and probably guessed that he was referring to those governors outside Beijing.

At Zhu Xu's will to the cabinet, the five auxiliary ministers were all shocked.

Bi Ziyan looked at the inner eunuch who came to deliver the decree, and asked with a calm brow, "What can the emperor say?" ”

The inner prisoner bowed and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”

Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others on the side, and said, "When did the emperor return?" ”

The inner supervisor said: "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Who else did the emperor summon?" Sun Chengzong suddenly spoke.

The internal supervisor glanced at Sun Chengzong and said, "Cabinet ministers, six scholars, and governors. ”

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan glanced at each other, and immediately both of them felt uneasy in their hearts.

"Who has the emperor seen before?" Sun Chuanting said.

The inner supervisor thought for a moment and said, "No." ”

Bi Ziyan was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting, and said, "Bai Gu, get ready, bring everything you should bring, maybe the matter will end today." ”

"Good!" Sun Chuanting nodded, his face condensed.

The 'New Deal' plans related to the cabinet will be decided by the emperor, and they dare not be careless at all until they can't figure out Zhu Xu's thoughts.

When the cabinet was preparing and going to the Qianqing Palace, he was waiting for Zhou Yingqiu outside the palace, and Fu Changzong also got the news as soon as possible.

"Is the emperor going to make a decision?" Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong entered the palace side by side, frowning slightly, and said worriedly.

Fu Changzong also had a bad premonition, he knew Zhu Xu very well, and knew that he was anxious, if he was on the side of the cabinet, they, local officials, would have no room for resistance at all.

"Let's go, let's be brave too!" Fu Changzong's chest rose and fell once, and he said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yingqiu glanced at him with some surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay, even if we offend Shengyan, we have to work hard." ”

Although the previous innovations were significant, they were all controllable, and the 'New Deal' made by the cabinet this time really affected the entire Ming Dynasty, and they could not continue to sit idly by.

In various post houses outside the palace, Fang Kongzhi, Li Banghua, Huang Chengyuan, Zhao Pinglan, Jiang Dejing and others came out one after another, gathered together, and rushed to the palace.

Dozens of adults from the outer court, under the guidance of the inner supervisor, came to the imperial garden, stood in a neat line, no one spoke, and waited quietly for Zhu Xu.

Some people are anxious, some are solemn, some are worried, some are expressionless, and so on.

"The emperor has arrived!"

There was a sharp shout from the inner prison, and Zhu Xu strode over.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor!" A group of high-ranking officials saluted Zhu Xu and shouted loudly.

Zhu Xu's 'simplification' of etiquette is also reflected among the monarchs and ministers, looking at a group of people, sitting down on the bench opposite them, waving his hand, and saying with a smile: "No courtesy, by the way, give you adults-like stools, chairs." ”

Bi Ziyan and the others looked at each other quietly, and their hearts became more and more worried.

The cabinet was worried, and those governors were even more afraid, in their minds, Zhu Xu naturally supported the cabinet, and even the cabinet's government affairs should be from his instructions.

In any case, these people sat down on the stools brought by the inner prison according to the patient "thanksgiving."

Zhu Xu's gaze swept over the faces of Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, Wang Qiaonian, King Jing, Sun Chuanting and others, followed by the six Shangshu, then Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, and then the governors of the provinces.

Zhu Xu casually took the teacup handed over by the inner supervisor, took a sip of tea gently, and then said, "I have read the joint recital written by the thirteen governors." ”

Everyone's hearts jumped, and they looked straight at Zhu Xu.

It's coming, and sure enough, it's because of this!

Zhu Xu didn't give them a chance to interject, held the teacup in his hand, and said, "Let's not talk about the matter itself, let's talk about other things." ”

Bi Ziyan and the others leaned over slightly, their brows twisted into a knot, every time this happens, it indicates that something bigger will happen, and they are extremely vigilant.

Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Xijue, Shen Yiyi, Fang Congzhe, Liu Yixie...... What do you think you have in common? Zhu Xu's eyes wandered, and he said lightly.

Without waiting for others, Bi Ziyan's face changed slightly.

These people are all the first assistants of the Ming Dynasty, and each of them is not simple and illustrious for a while. The most important thing is that these people are involved in 'party struggle', and they do everything possible to overthrow the superior at the next time, and once they ascend to the throne of the first assistant, they will immediately eliminate dissidents, suppress them on a large scale, and tilt their power to the government and the opposition!

What's more, these successive generations of first assistants said in Zhu Xu's mouth have mixed reputations, and none of them have a good end!

Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others reacted quickly, and their eyes immediately looked at Bi Ziyan.

What do the emperor's words mean?

The six Shangshu are all terrifying, Bi Ziyan's position is quite solid, if he suddenly falls, the consequences will be extremely terrible, it will definitely be a catastrophe!

The gaze of the governor also fell on Bi Ziyan, and their eyes widened and their faces were shocked.

Although they had a dispute with the cabinet, they did not want Bi Ziyan to fall, because if he fell, the cabinet and the situation in the DPRK would be chaotic, and the 'new deal' that had just seen the light would definitely have unpredictable consequences.

Zhu Xu didn't seem to see their expressions, and continued: "Ten years ago, in the imperial court, from Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing, to Wei Dazhong and Ruan Dacheng, to Liaodong's Yuan Chonghuan and Wang Zaijin, Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang, who were not obvious, what do you think?" ”

The tense expressions of everyone eased suddenly, and I don't know how many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Bi Ziyan leaned over slightly, and his face was silently relaxed.

"Elder Bige, come on." Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, blew the tea, and said.

Bi Ziyan blinked, tried his best to be calm, and said after considering his words, "Back to the emperor, the courtiers' selfishness is greater than the public's heart, and the party's privacy leads to disregard for the general righteousness, misleading the country and the people, and causing endless harm." ”

Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully, looked at Sun Chengzong, and said, "It makes sense, what do you think, Old Sun Ge?" ”

Sun Chengzong was calm, looked at Zhu Xu, and said: "'Party struggle' is a disaster for the country, especially those in power, if they can't uphold justice and keep themselves clean, they will follow it, and the situation will collapse and the world will be bad." ”

Zhu Xu put down the teacup, looked at Sun Chuanting, and said, "That's right, Master Sun, what do you think?" ”

Sun Chuanting's expression was calm, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers fight for their own interests, and make profits for their friends, the misfortune of the country and the disaster of all the people. ”

Zhu Xu was noncommittal, looked at a group of people, and said, "It's very good, but there are still reservations, is there anyone who doesn't dare to say it?" ”

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu didn't know what Zhu Xu was having, so after thinking about it, they both lowered their heads and didn't answer.

If they don't speak, the governors behind them don't dare to talk more. Last year the emperor was in Fu. The general Zou Weilian was depressed and ended up in Shaanxi. The western general Li Banghua and others scolded obediently.

Li Banghua was the banner man of the 'national capital dispute' back then, he couldn't even speak, who dared to try it easily?

Zhu Xu looked at this group of people, straightened his body, and said, "Okay, I'll come here." ”

Bi Ziyan and more than 30 others immediately leaned over and listened to the hadith.

At the same time, many people feel that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him has a very different style of behavior since his wedding.

"Don't talk about it, I don't understand, let's talk about Zhao Nanxing and Ye Xianggao."

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the armrest, and said thoughtfully, "Zhao Nanxing and Ye Xianggao, Ye Xianggao is a person with high prestige and popularity, and he is trying his best to support the court situation after Wanli, but Zhao Nanxing doesn't think so, he classifies his political enemies as 'evil parties' and wants to clean up the court, so he contradicts Ye Xianggao, and tries to drive him down." Ye Xianggao, worried that Zhao Nanxing would undermine the stability of the court situation, kept pressing him, making the court situation look stable, and finally the two were still incompatible, there was infighting in the Donglin party, Zhao Nanxing was strong, and he simply pushed down Ye Xianggao, but he did not make the first assistant, and there was also a Han Huang, so the ministers continued to attack Han Huang, Han Huang would resign after a month, if it wasn't for the eunuch party, Zhao Nanxing might have succeeded. Ruan Dacheng and Wei Dazhong...... Wei Dazhong is Zhao Nanxing's person, Ruan Dacheng is Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian's person, for the sake of the official department, the two factions in their Donglin party are in full swing, and in the end, Zhao Nanxing is one of the best chess players and wins, and the position in the matter is given to Wei Dazhong. Of course, Zhao Nanxing knew that he was united at this time, and in order to appease Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou arranged an engineering department for Ruan Dacheng. Where is the engineering department to give things compared to the officials to give things, Ruan Dacheng is not angry, don't want to be disciplined, vote for the eunuch party, and snatch back the officials who pulled teeth in the matter, where will Zhao Nanxing give up, in less than a month, Ruan Dacheng was forced to resign and leave Beijing......"

Everyone listened patiently and faintly heard some flavors.

The emperor's words are all courtiers fighting, although it is different from now, but it is also the relationship between the big witch and the small witch.

"Try Yuan Chonghuan and Wang Zaijin again,"

Zhu Xu turned his head and said: "Yuan Chonghuan is the governor of Liaodong, he wants to push the Liaodong defense line forward, hold the line of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, Wang Zaijin is the Liaodong Economic Strategy, he wants to move all the people of Liaodong into Shanhaiguan, as long as he guards Shanhaiguan." The two are the two biggest officials in Liaodong, and they argue endlessly, refusing to give in to each other, and even ignoring each other in government affairs, each doing their own thing, and destroying Liaodong's military affairs is a mess. Their struggle soon manifested itself in the court, this matter Sun Ge Lao should be clear, these two adults are still incompatible in the end, Wang Zaijin was transferred back, Liaodong Yuan Chonghuan is alone from then on, no one can control it, all government affairs are determined by him, and others cannot interfere...... Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao are the same, the two can't fight, the water and fire are intolerable, one person actually left with the army in a grand manner, exposing a large area of undefended vital land to Jiannu ......"

A group of adults not far from Zhu Xu listened in a cold sweat.

These are things that happened not so long ago, and they did it, and some of them were involved in it, some of them saw it with their own eyes, and some of them heard it with their ears.

Although they were indignant, unwilling, and angry before, His Majesty the Emperor in front of them said it easily, and when he told them, it still made them uncomfortable and their faces stiffened.

After Zhu Xu said this, he took the teacup again and took a sip slowly.

Obviously, Zhu Xu's words touched these adults, and each of them frowned and thought hard, and there was no voice in the huge imperial garden.

"How to govern properly, how to govern in a proper way, how to unite colleagues, is a university question, I am learning, I hope you can also dive into thinking,"

Zhu Xu looked at them and said slowly: "Pressing each other with authority, black and white, one or the other, there is no room for people, and the mind of listening to advice is not the way of getting along with people, nor is it the way of being an official of the ministers of the court...... Having said all this, I don't mean anything else, but when you go back, think about it, and if you have any ideas, write a notebook for me to read, and share it with me...... Today, that's all for now, and go to Jingdong Daying early tomorrow morning. ”

Bi Ziyan and the others really didn't fully understand what Zhu Xu meant, listening to his words, they subconsciously stood up, raised their hands and said, "The ministers are retiring." ”

Cao Huachun stood behind Zhu Xu and watched these adults with complicated faces leave inside and outside Beijing.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps since Fang Xiaoru, since Wanli, have been upright and upright, can not fold, everything is ten thousand people, and everything is fearful. At this juncture, Zhu Xu will not tolerate these adults' 'infighting' and ruin his affairs.

I hope they will all reflect on it. ’

Zhu Xu hoped in his heart, turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "What are the arrangements later?" ”

Cao Huachun took a step forward and said, "Back to the emperor, everything outside the palace is currently handled by the cabinet, and the arrangements will be discussed tomorrow." In the palace, I went to Cining Palace for dinner at night, and then went to visit the old lady, Li Niangniang, and Hai Niangniang, and stayed in Kunning Palace at night. ”

Zhu Xu nodded, and said, "After the martial arts, I will give a banquet to the governors of various places, as well as the envoys of various countries, in the Qianqing Palace, make some sumptuous, and give gifts...... Find a few representative things, porcelain, silk, tea, glassware, matches, etc., the number is not too large, just match a set. ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu sat on the spot, thought about it while holding the teacup, and said, "The affairs of the cabinet are also taken care of, and after these few days, I will free up my hands and take care of them." ”

"Yes, Gonggong Liu has been staring." Cao Huachun's face did not move.

Zhu Xu put down the teacup, got up and said, "Let's go, go to Kunning Palace." ”

Cao Huachun immediately ordered someone to drive to Kunning Palace, the queen's residence.

At the same time, the adults in the outer court who left the palace did not have the strength to argue in the past few days, and either sat alone and pondered, or quietly gathered together to discuss in twos and threes, and some people went back directly, picked up the notebook and wrote hard.

These adults have rarely been cleaned, and they have not fought endlessly, and the various departments of the imperial court can finally be a little more relaxed.
