Early the next morning, the edict issued by the cabinet of ministers on the strict prohibition of forming parties was issued to the world and posted next to the palace gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This edict is different from the past, it is clearly stated that those who form a party will be 'severely punished', and the implementation of 'joint sitting', once it is verified, family members, villagers, will 'never be used'!

Note: After the edict is issued, it can be reported to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, the local government office, the East Factory, the Ministry of Officials, the Supervision Yuan and other yamen.

After the imperial court issued an order, the court newspaper of the Ministry of Rites was also fully reprinted, and it was also accompanied by some articles by famous people in the literary world, including 'heavy canons to control chaos', 'party illegality' and so on.

During this period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, party disputes were all taken for granted, and almost every official could not do without the word 'friend', but some were direct, some were hidden, some were deep, and some were shallow.

This naturally set off a monstrous wave in the capital, which was tantamount to thunder, and countless people were shocked and uneasy!

In a teahouse on Suzaku Street, the two gathered at a table, both of them looking at today's morning newspaper seriously.

Not long after, a middle-aged man slapped the newspaper on the table and snorted coldly: "The court is getting more and more stupid now!" ”

Opposite him was a slightly fat middle-aged man, shaking his head and smiling, "Learn from me, resign early, become a businessman, and now the businessman lives a lot of nourishing ......"

The one who spoke at first was called Hong Xianli, who was the director of the Ministry of Industry in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and Chongzhen was dismissed at the beginning. The slightly fat one is called Li Zaiyong, the former member of the Criminal Department, in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian investigated Wang Yongguang, he was afraid of being implicated, resigned and hid in the countryside, and Chongzhen dared to come out at the beginning.

The two used to be a pair of difficult brothers, but now their circumstances are very different.

Hong Xianli stayed in the capital and did not leave, bent on seeking reinstatement, but he has not succeeded, and now he is destitute.

Li Zaiyong is different, he has been in business in recent years. In recent years, Daming's 'business spirit' has flourished, and the business management after the political reform has become clearer and clearer, releasing a large part of the potential, plus the great changes in land and waterways, extending in all directions and unimpeded, also making business more prosperous, and Li Zaiyong is now worth less than 200,000.

Hong Xianli was angry, looked at Li Zaiyong's somewhat smug expression, snorted coldly, and said: "Businessmen are cheap after all, if you don't think about yourself, will you not want your children and grandchildren?" ”

At present, the business status is not allowed to enter the imperial examination.

Li Zaiyong didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "My sons are not angry, they don't like to study, and now they are keen to go to sea." ”

Hong Xianli was naturally familiar with this old friend, so he just vented his frustration, looked down at the newspaper again, and couldn't help but snort coldly for a long time: "'Strict investigation of friends', 'Strict punishment and no loans', just killed Feng Quan and dozens of others, isn't it enough?" Hmph, pun, pun...... How to distinguish a friend? Are fellow villagers friends a partisan? Are classmates friends? King Xin violated the ancestral system and stole a high position, which must cause chaos in the world! ”

Li Zaiyong also knew Hong Xianli's inner dissatisfaction, and persuaded: "Although the situation in the court is stable now, it is becoming more and more incomprehensible. Our new emperor, what he thinks and thinks is very different from ordinary people, if I were you, I would have put it down a long time ago, this official position is not worth putting your whole life in. ”

Hong Xianli sneered and said, "You are also a person who has read the books of sages for decades, and now you are covered in copper stench, how can you be qualified to talk about the government!" ”

Li Zaiyong was not angry at all, this was not the first time Hong Xianli had said such a thing.

Hong Xianli vented his frustration, stood up again and said, "I'll go out." ”

Li Zaiyong knew that Hong Xianli would not give up, and he was going to take the opportunity to move around again.

Is this on the cusp?

Li Zaiyong knew that persuasion was useless, shook his head slightly, and did not stop it.

At the same time, I also knew that there were more and more people like Hong Xianli in the capital over the years.

Seongnam is the Imperial Chamber.

Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian, and Meng Zhaoxiang looked at today's morning newspaper while walking.

Wei Xuelian kept shaking his head and said, "I thought that the emperor had eliminated the party dispute, but I didn't expect that there would still be such a dark tide below......

Meng Zhaoxiang buried his head in walking, and said concisely: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. ”

Cao Dingjiao's expression was calm, he was more concerned about the southwest, but there was very little content in the newspaper, just talking about the southwest's 'mixed land, the government's strength is not enough, and the disaster is like fire' and so on.

Different from his uncle Cao Wenzhao, and different from his brother Cao Bianjiao, Cao Dingjiao prefers government affairs, and has been studying in the political academy these days, and is quite hungry and thirsty, forgetting to sleep and eat.

Seeing that Cao Dingjiao didn't speak, Wei Xuelian turned his head to look at him and said, "Old Cao, what do you think?" ”

Cao Dingjiao said casually: "It is written in the newspapers that it is obviously the emperor's determination to eradicate the party struggle and not give the party struggle a chance to rekindle, which can be regarded as a warning." ”

Meng Zhaoxiang nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Although Brother Cao's idea is a little unexpected, it is also on point, originally the cabinet reopened, it should be the best time for the party to fight again, but now I am afraid that most people dare not move." ”

Wei Xuelian said: "Think about it, it should be that the imperial court noticed some signs and gave this a blow to the head." ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zhaoxiang suddenly looked up at Cao Dingjiao, and said with a somewhat different expression, "Brother Cao, your thoughts are always different, and it is really a family history." ”

Cao Dingjiao was stunned, this was the last time he went to the palace to visit his brother Cao Bianjiao, before leaving, Cao Bianjiao told him in the academy, he must not participate in forming a gang, let alone form a party to seek power, which will mean one or two.

If it's a family history, that's right?

He couldn't expose his relationship with Cao Bianjiao and Cao Wenzhao, so he could only smile stiffly.

Wei Xuelian didn't care about this, and walked quickly, "Let's go, if you don't hurry, there will be no place." ”

There is a huge library building in the royal government, which is full of all kinds of books from the subset of scriptures and histories, and there are many solitary books, which are naturally manuscripts, but there are more than 100,000 volumes, and they are gathered from all over the world every day, making the library building constantly become vast and rich.

Students of the political academy can read, copy, and borrow books here, and every day it is full of people, and if you slow down, there is no place to put your feet down.

Cao Dingjiao couldn't help but step up when he heard this, and he had to copy a copy today.

Meng Zhaoxiang glanced at Cao Dingjiao and quickly followed.

After not walking a few steps, Wei Xuelian complained again, "I don't know who came up with the ghost idea, I see that one of the three books has to be copied and returned to the library, I don't know how many copies I have copied." ”

Meng Zhaoxiang didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "This is going to be sent to the library buildings of various colleges, and you copied it, I can't say how many people will borrow it, so let's be serious." ”

Meng Zhaoxiang was speechless, and his feet were a little faster.

Cao Dingjiao also smiled, and the three of them quickly ran towards the library.

Zhu Youzhen became the first assistant of the cabinet, and on the first day, he held six Shangshu and Shilang discussions.

The meeting went very smoothly, and the focus of the discussion was 'emphasizing actual achievements and exaggerating falsely', 'working together to repair national politics', 'using the strength of the imperial court to resist unexpected disasters', and so on, and the six departments should be earnestly implemented.

These can also be regarded as a kind of filling for Zhu Xu's omissions in government affairs, and it is indeed for the country and the people, and the six ministries have no reason to refuse.

I don't know if Zhou Yingqiu's words played a role, Zhu Youzhen's actions were not eager, and he did not have the intention of overturning Zhu Xu's previous policy in one fell swoop, which made the six Shangshu and the waiters all breathe a sigh of relief.

As Zhu Xu expected, as more and more people were arrested in the south, the three divisions of the yamen were sentenced to death, and the number of exiles increased, and the majestic pressure on the local area also followed.

This kind of pressure is not only in the imperial court, but the governors in various places are a little unbearable, and they have written to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to 'not kill on a large scale, and treat the world with leniency'.

Sink. Yang, Xinggong.

Zhu Xu looked at the sketch written by Liu Shimin, impeachment to Zongdao, Zhu Youzhen's recital has exceeded three hundred, and it is said that there are still a group of famous Confucians who are ready to come to Beijing, and they want to 'discuss the ancestral system' with King Xin in person, and even sue the emperor.

Zhu Xu smiled, fortunately, he had expected that if this crime fell on him, although he had the 'martial arts' to pacify Liaodong, he couldn't stop these people's verbal criticism, and the most important thing was that people like them, an article was destined to be 'famous for a hundred years'.

As an emperor who aspires to become a great emperor, reputation is very important!

Zhu Xu was watching, Sun Chengzong walked in from outside, patted the snow on his body, and said after seeing the salute: "Your Majesty, Lord Yuan has already set off for the court. Xian, Yang Lin has begun to return to his teacher, and Zhu Mei is also painting everywhere to reformulate the territory of Liaodong. ”

Zhu Xu bowed his head and said: "This matter can't be careless, we must use one hundred and twenty thoughts, than Shen. Yang also has to be attentive. ”

Sun Chengzong knew that the emperor cared, and said: "Yes, the ministers have already arranged it, and they will take turns to send generals to station, speed up reclamation, and build city fortresses." ”

Zhu Xu was very relieved about Sun Chengzong, and suddenly the topic changed and said, "Is there any change in Liaodong?" ”

The situation in Liaodong is still relatively complicated, although Nurhachi unified the Jurchen tribes, but they were also unified by force, many tribes were dissatisfied, and there was control through the form of 'covenant'. The territory of the ancient tribes is scattered with many Mongolian. Ancient tribes, all kinds of marriages, covenants, relationships are intricate.

Sun Chengzong said, "It has been basically stabilized, Bao Chengxian, Meng Qiaofang is still quite capable, by supporting the obedient people to hunt down and kill the rebels, and then win over a group of people who have no ideas, there is no major chaos everywhere." ”

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, squinted his eyes, and said for a while: "In this way, I will order Meng Qiaofang to implement the Zhulian Law, farm the land in peacetime, train troops in his spare time, select the right one, and gather 10,000 people to be handed over to Shuotuo to govern and use to quell the rebellion." ”

Sun Chengzong's brows moved slightly, and he said: "Your Majesty, although the population of Liaodong is not large, but this adds up, I am afraid it will be tens of thousands of people. ”

Whether it is the Jurchen or the Mongols, they are nomads, natural cavalry, if they are a little trained, it will be tens of thousands of cavalry, if they are controlled by Shuotuo......

Zhu Xu smiled disdainfully, and said, "If it were Dolgon, I would be on guard with a few more hands, this Shuotuo, I just let it go to him, and he wouldn't have the courage to rebel again!" ”

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. Huang Taiji is already a lost dog, even if the Ming Dynasty does not take precautions, Shuotuo has no reason to rebel.

However, Sun Chengzong, who should be on guard, will not be less at all, and raised his hand and said, "Obey the order." After the minister returned, he immediately arranged it. ”

"Well, let's arrange it early, and go back to Beijing at noon tomorrow, and all the dishes that should be cooked are clean, so don't leave any trouble." Zhu Xu said.
