Chapter 587: An Unusual Convoy

A group of people in Shuntianfu are distressed, and it is easy for the court to come up with policies, but it is two different things to fall on them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the sky is high and the earth is far away, there is still a way to fool it, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, countless pairs of eyes are staring, and no mistake can occur!

Chen Qiyu knew that there was no way to discuss it like this, and now he couldn't go to the cabinet at this juncture, and the lords of the six ministries could only discuss it, so he could only wait for those governors and governors to leave Beijing before making plans.

But dragging on like this day made him very uneasy.

Chen is even more uneasy when he hears it, this 'political reform' is very clear to the discerning people, it is part of the emperor's 'new policy', it is related to the national political plan, and it will definitely not retreat the slightest.

This kind of substitution is different from the apocalypse, in the Wanli period, resigning angrily can still get a good reputation, it is a restart, and a further 'capital', if it is now dismissed and taken from office, it will only end up with a reputation of 'mediocre and incompetent', not to mention a resurrection, and a lifetime of clean name will be ruined!

Chu Zong first looked at the group of people who were silent, frowned bitterly, looked at Chen Qiyu and said, "My lord, no matter what, things must be done first, and then talk about it when you encounter trouble, you can't wait like this, do it and discuss!" ”

Chen Qiyu was shocked and said, "That's right! Let's make a plan first, step by step, starting from Shuntianfu, and pushing to the entire Beizhili, I now, no, make a plan first, tomorrow I will go to the cabinet, get the edict, and start arranging, we must not wait in vain! ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

A group of people responded in unison and got busy urgently in the improvised yamen.

In this small half a day, the whole capital has entered a certain fast pace, from the cabinet to the locality, no one is not nervous and goes all out.

Bi Ziyan and the other nine-member cabinet held an all-night meeting, promulgated edicts, and made appointments, one by one 'new policies', one after another 'appointments', although they had already released rumors, but they still caused waves.

In the eyes of more people, this is a kind of 'breaking and then standing', which has crushed the politics and military system of the past two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, even though there are several years of transition, there are still many people who feel that it is 'sudden' and difficult to accept.

In the capital, rumors are flying, so that some old officials can't distinguish the truth from the false, and they ask around, which makes the 'New Deal' even more confusing.

The newspapers of the Cabinet and the six ministries are all stepping up their preparations, and at the same time they are urgently transmitted to the provinces, and even if they cannot be synchronized, a day or two late is not much different from synchronization.

It was getting dark, and a group of people in the cabinet quietly exhaled.

Yuan Keli put down the pen in his hand, looked at everyone, and said: "The Ministry of Rites is ready, the governors of the southeastern provinces, the governors do not have much emotional fluctuations, and they have also expressed firm support for the political reform, and they can be released from Beijing the day after tomorrow to welcome the emperor's inspection." ”

Xu Dahua hurriedly followed: "Xiaguan's side is ready, Yun. South, Lake. Wide, wide. The governors and governors of the West have expressed that they will be consistent with the position of the imperial court and will not make inappropriate remarks. ”

Shen Xun was the most uneasy person, and he listened and said: "Jiang/Xi, He. The governors and governors of the southern provinces have written a recital to the lower officials, and they will strictly follow the decrees of the imperial court, and they should be worry-free. ”

Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, and Shen Yongmao also spoke one after another, and the content was much the same, and the governors and governors of the provinces all expressed their firm support for the imperial court, the emperor and the political reform in their attitudes, and there would be no variables.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong are secretly relieved, as long as these governors and governors don't talk nonsense, the 'political reform' of the imperial court will be the trend of the times, and even if others oppose it, it will be a grasshopper shaking the tree, and the general trend of the world will roll and move!

Bi Ziyan's expression was relaxed, and he said with a smile: "The official's article has been written, you will read it later, polish the pen, and then show it to those adults to take a look at it again, if there is no problem, it will be co-signed, and tomorrow the cabinet newspaper will be issued together with the six ministries to stabilize people's hearts!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone should be, as long as this newspaper comes out, even if the political reform is completely decided, no one can turn the sky upside down!

A group of people all looked at each other and smiled, no matter how difficult the process was, how much trouble there would be in the future, in short, the matter that had been tossed for so long was finally settled, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Yongmao groaned, looked up at Sun Chengzong and said, "Elder Sun Ge, two battalions...... There is an anomaly. ”

Sun Chengzong's brows moved slightly, and he said, "Abnormal movement? What's the change? ”

Everyone else was also shocked, the two battalions were from the Gongwei Beijing Division, if there was a problem with these two battalions, then something would happen to the capital!

Shen Yongmao's expression couldn't be said to be nervous or worried, and said, "The station of the Jingxi camp has been transferred to Mi. Cloud, Jingdong Daying, changed to the day. Jinwei. In addition, the 10,000 people of the patrol battalion must go out of Beijing for training every ten years. ”

Shen Yongmao's words fell, and everyone looked at each other.

The Ming Dynasty can mobilize the army, as long as there are two places, one is the palace and the other is the military department. There was no edict from the military headquarters, and the army mobilized by the king was very limited, not to mention the two major battalions that were crucial.

Then there is only one possibility, the emperor in the palace!

However, why is there such an arrangement suddenly, what is the intention of transferring the two armies guarding the capital away - at this special juncture!

And they were all in deep thought, and were silent.

The Ming Dynasty seems to be generally stable, but the civil unrest has never stopped, and now the 'gentry pay taxes' is about to be implemented, if there is a big chaos at the foot of the imperial city, it will be such a terrible thing!

What's more, if Jiannu or Meng. Gu broke through the barrier again, without the escort of the two major armies, wouldn't the Beijing division be dangerous?

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan, and then looked at the others, unable to hide their worries.

Without the two battalions of guards, they felt a sense of unease.

Bi Ziyan was silent for a while, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Lord Sun, it is better for you and Shen Shangshu to enter the palace immediately, ask to see the emperor, and ask for clarification." ”

Without two battalions to protect it, it is to put the capital in a dangerous situation, Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Okay, Shen Shangshu, follow me to Jingyang Palace." ”

Shen Yongmao stood up and said, "Yes." ”

Bi Ziyan watched the two leave, and said in a deep voice: "When the governors and governors leave Beijing, our government affairs should focus on 'taxation', especially Shuntianfu, and we must do our best to help when the time comes, and we must do our best to set an example for the world!" ”

"Yes." A group of people raised their hands.

Although there are many elements of the 'New Deal', the focus is on 'taxation', at least for now.

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao came to the imperial study, Cao Huachun smiled in front of the imperial study, looked at the two and said: "Two adults, the emperor is in a very bad mood now, so don't see him." ”

Sun Chengzong naturally knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, but the transfer of the two battalions was not trivial, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "Gonggong Cao, about the transfer of the two battalions, did the emperor say anything else?" ”

Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "The emperor didn't say anything else. ”

Sun Chengzong really wanted to see Zhu Xu and ask clearly, and knew that it was not the right time, Bi Ziyan was blocked, and it was normal for him to be blocked once, so he had to say: "Please ask your father-in-law to tell the emperor, if you are free, please summon me." ”

Sun Chengzong didn't know that Zhu Xu had been away from Beijing for several hours.

Cao Huachun nodded with a smile and said, "The miscellaneous family must convey it." ”

Sun Chengzong nodded, and returned to the cabinet with Shen Yongmao.

It didn't take long for the news of Sun Chengzong being blocked in Jingyang Palace to spread all over the capital, and they were all speculating that the emperor was really angry, and there might be thunderous anger.

A group of adults, including the cabinet, are becoming more and more vigilant, and the quiet palace makes them nervous!

The sky is getting dark, leave the capital, and go to the sky. Jinwei's dart board convoy stopped, lit a fire on the side of the road, and cooked.

Along the way, Zhu Xu finally knew the names of the girl and the boy, the girl was called Wang Qiongyu, whose origin was unknown, and the boy's name was Li Rujing, whose origin was also unknown.

Sitting by the fire, Zhu Xu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Qiongyu, Li Rujing, and the four of them held rough sweet potato cakes, cooking soup while listening to the chatter of the convoy not far away.

"This trip, at least you can earn a hundred taels of silver, right?"

"I don't know, this is the goods entrusted by the Tao shopkeeper, and it is said that it is going to sea and sold to those people in Fanbang."

"Whatever he does, we only care about ourselves, this month, at least thirty taels smaller, enough for the family to ......"

"If you want me to say, life is indeed better than a few years ago, I heard that the imperial court is engaged in a 'new deal', which will benefit the people of the world, I don't know if it's really ......"

"I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, I just want to make a few more trips to send my son to the academy......"

"Wait a minute, I heard that the academy is free......"

"The one in the imperial court is free, but the number of people is limited, and it is difficult to get in, I mean, the one that Mr. Tongzhai did."

A group of people, oh, I don't know if they really know who this 'fellow faster' is.

Zhu Xu chewed the hard-to-swallow flatbread in his mouth and nodded thoughtfully.

After all, the ability of the Imperial Academy is limited, and there are not many academies in the capital, so it cannot allow all school-age people to enroll, which makes the private academies more and more prosperous.

"Instead, we should encourage the private sector to run schools...... Zhu Xu secretly said in his heart, the power of the imperial court is limited, but the people are unlimited.

"What about you?" Suddenly, Wang Qiongyu looked at Li Rujing and said calmly.

Li Rujing was not impatient with Zhu Xu for Wang Qiongyu, frowned and said lightly: "I am Shaanxi. The victims who came from the west did not have a household registration in Beizhili, and the military academy did not let me in. ”

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, looked at the young man beside him, and then said with a smile: "You are Shaanxi. Westerners? ”

Li Rujing didn't even look at Zhu Xu, took a bowl of soup to himself, and said, "Don't listen to your father, just find a few opportunities to run away." ”

Wang Qiongyu's expression was as usual, she didn't answer, just looked at the fire quietly.

Zhu Xu pinched his chin, looked at Li Rujing, and glanced at Wang Qiongyu, there was something wrong with these two people.

Cao Bianjiao looked at the darkness all around, and there were wolf howls from time to time, and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Childe, this is a wild place, and it's not safe at night, so let's change places." ”

Zhu Xu looked up and said, "No, how can there be so many dangers, they don't take this road once or twice, don't worry." ”

Cao Huachun's expression was slightly condensed, he always felt that this dart was unusual, and the people in this team were not ordinary.
