In the second year of Jingzheng, August 18.

The left second assistant of the cabinet is strict and comes to the river in person. Su, sitting in Yingtianfu, governor yamen.

Bi Ziyan stood in the middle of the hall, holding a golden holy decree in his hand, his face expressionless, and his eyes were cold.

Standing in front of him was almost Jiang. There are more than 50 officials above the sixth rank in the Su Dynasty, including the governor's yamen, the governor's palace, the governor's court, the Dali Temple, the academy and the prefects of various prefectures!

Fang Kongzhi and Lu Qin stood at the front, behind them were Xu Jie, Feng Jiangfeng, followed by Wang Beicheng of the Governor's Yuan, Tao Yongxiu of Dali Temple, Jiang Yicheng of the Provincial Academy, etc., dressed in official uniforms, standing upright.

They stood in front of Bi Ziyan, their expressions tense and their expressions solemn.

Fang Kongzhi came back for three days, and he had already convened various departments and officials to talk, repeatedly explained, and communicated, which was barely suppressed, and now, the official will has arrived.

By now, everyone knows what the holy decree in Bi Ziyan's hand is written, and they also know what it means to Jiang Zuo, the brother of Wen Feicui.

They felt the same way, and there was a desperate, cold air in the air.

Bi Ziyan looked at this group of people, his heart was heavy, as soon as this will came out, Nan Zhili would inevitably set off a majestic storm, and he didn't know when it would extend and what kind of consequences it would bring to Daming.

However, it is already the best result that he can fight to proclaim the decree, and if it were someone else, I don't know how bad it would be.

Bi Ziyan's face was majestic, he picked up the holy decree, and said in a deep voice, "Jiang. Su Zhong officials take the order! ”

Fang Kongzhi and the others knelt on the ground in response and said, "The ministers will take the order." ”

More than fifty people knelt in the hall, even though they already knew the content of the holy decree, they still couldn't help but tremble, and their hearts were afraid.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: I bow down to virtue and practice, suddenly ascend to the throne, the power is not as good as the ancestors, the virtue is not as good as the father and brother, I sleep at night, trembling and trembling...... Nai treacherous and rampant, the party fights for the wilderness, the end is connected, does not respect the king, ignores the king's order, regards the common people as dogs, the family and the country are in nothing, the people of Li are in trouble, the world is boiling, I endure and endure, let and let ...... The ancestors and ancestors are in front, the history of thousands of years is behind, the word benevolence, I dare not be damaged, but I am arrogant, I can't be excessive, I can't do anything, I can't be forgiven! ”

Bi Ziyan's voice was sonorous and powerful, without the slightest emotion.

Fang Kongzhi and the others listened, their expressions were cold.

Bi Ziyan glanced at them and continued, "...... The government and the opposition were shocked, their hearts were full of fear, and the people were unbearable, and they were full of complaints...... The court decided to make a decision. Su officials, the third class has been demoted, five years will not move, should be rebellious are severely punished without forgiveness, in order to set an example, ban the river. Su Keju for five years, where the ban is reached, within the program and discipline, will never be used......"

Fang Kongzhi and the others knelt deeply, their faces extremely uncomfortable.

They are all Jiang. Senior official Su, even if this will has an impact on them, it is actually not big, but it can be a blow to the entire Nanzhili, which is nothing less than a catastrophe!

"Chin this!"

Fang Kongzhi and the others were in a trance, their minds were confused, and they didn't know what to think, until Bi Ziyan read these two words, and then suddenly got up and said, "The ministers will take the order." ”

Bi Ziyan handed over the holy decree, Fang Kongzhi took it, stood up, and got up behind him.

A group of people faced Bi Ziyan, and Bi Ziyan also looked at them.

The people in the lobby all had complicated faces, looked at each other, and were speechless for a while.

If it had happened before, there would never have been a situation, the emperor would not have been so severe, and the government and the opposition would not have allowed the emperor to do this, the worst thing is that there is still the right to refute the six branches, it is impossible to get to this point!

But everything has changed, the six branches have long ceased to exist, and the government and the opposition have no ability to stop Zhu Xu.

Fang Kongzhi wanted to speak and stopped, for a while, and finally said: "Elder Ge, is there really no other way?" If this is announced, Nan Zhili ......"

Bi Ziyan's brows were tightened, his eyes were full of worry, but he said in a deep voice: "Nan Zhili is too late this time, even if the emperor doesn't deal with it, the cabinet will not forgive the slightest!" This will be announced today, and you must properly appease the hearts of the people, and five years will not be long, and there must be no more trouble, otherwise, ...... This official also doesn't make sure that there is no second Wei Zhongxian! ”

Fang Kongzhi and the others' expressions changed suddenly, although most of the people here were not in Nan at that time. Jing, I know that I killed too many people that time, and if I do it again, Nanzhili will be abolished.

The group of high-ranking officials in Nanzhili looked at each other, all full of worry and uneasiness.

Fang Kongzhi actually wanted to ask Bi Ziyan whether this will could be discounted, seeing Bi Ziyan's attitude, he knew that there was no room for change, so he had to say: "Yes, the lower official understands." ”

Bi Ziyan came to Nanzhili this time, saying that it was to pass on the decree and investigate, in fact, it was also to stabilize the hearts of Nanzhili's people, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Fang Kongzhi and others, so he groaned for a while, and said: "This official will stay for half a month, try to help you pacify it, and there can be no more chaos." You should all know that in the eyes of the emperor, the people are valued more than the officials. ”

Seeing Bi Ziyan say this, Fang Kongzhi sighed in his heart and said, "Let Xia Guan and the others discuss carefully and find a safe way to ensure that there will be no big backlash from the gentry of Nanzhili." ”

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly, this matter is a test for Kong Zhi and others, and even for the results of the 'New Deal'.

Fang Kongzhi and the others went to the side hall to discuss the time of a stick of incense, and waited for half an hour, and all departments, especially the governor's palace, made this will public.

"Faint King! Unconscious! Unconscious! The Ming Dynasty is dead! ”

In a large courtyard, in a rather luxurious, bookish study, a middle-aged man heard the news, dropped the book in his hand, and roared angrily.

"I knew that I knew that the imperial court would not give up so easily! But why should I be forbidden! ”

In a delicate, low-key academy on the mountainside, a man of about thirty muttered to himself, then roared loudly, and then began to cry.

A gray-haired old man, from the back, at least more than sixty, but looking at the face, almost fifty, in fact, as long as about forty, he stood outside the wall of the Gongyuan, looking at the closed door, his eyes flowed, and muttered, "I started enlightenment at the age of four, and I took the township test more than a dozen times, and I failed once...... After entering the academy, I thought there was still a chance, but now, I have completely broken off my thoughts...... It's good or good......"

He turned around slowly, and walked towards the Qinhuai River not far away with a crying and laughing, his eyes were full of fantasy, and he was full of official ceremonies and returned to his hometown.

"The imperial examination harms me!" He shouted and jumped off the Qinhuai River.

In a painting boat on the Qinhuai River, five young people, surrounded by seven famous prostitutes, were originally elated, drinking and writing poems, and they couldn't be happy.

But listening to the news from outside, everyone's face was pale, the wine glass in his hand trembled, and there was no smile at all.

In the past, although there were prohibitions in the imperial court, they were not so strict, they were used to it, and they were good at breaking the rules, which was not a problem at all for those of them with a huge network!

But now it is different, the emperor issued a decree, and it is clear that in the future, they will no longer be able to take the imperial examination, and it will be impossible for them to enter the ranks!

"Donglin mistook me Jiang Zuo!" Suddenly, a young man yelled, tearing the 'Donglin Sage Fan' in his hand to pieces, and the others also smashed their wine glasses, and followed with a loud yell, almost crazy.

Some wealthy families and scholars of the times are either crying bitterly, scolding, or silent, and are thinking of other ways in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, there was also a violent turmoil among the upper and lower officials of Nanzhili, and they were banned from being transferred for five years, which was a 'cut off career' for too many people, and all kinds of strange things happened.

Fang Kongzhi and the others made arrangements and were pressing with all their might.

But that's just the beginning, the storm has to brew, and once it's done, it's the most terrifying.

In the Qianqing Palace, in the shade under the eaves, Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and looked at the south.

Cao Huachun guessed Zhu Xu's thoughts, waited for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, but I'm worried about Jiang. Sue? ”

Zhu Xu stood here for half an hour, shook his head, and said: "No matter how big the matter of Nan Zhili is, it is between my backhand, let them make trouble, I am thinking, where is the brother of the king of Xinwang now......"

It has been half a year since the Hongwu went to sea, and I don't know the specific situation now.

The sea is still too dangerous for the current ship, and it is normal to say that it will be subverted, and it will disappear if it is said to disappear, no matter how big the fleet is.

This voyage is too important to Daming, not only the route, or to broaden his horizons and open the route, Zhu Xu also wants to know what the situation in Europe is now, which is closely related to his national politics and grand strategy.
