Zhu Youzhen heard Wang Chengen mention Huang Liji, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is it possible to tell Huang Liji first if I do something?" Of course, saying these words is just angry, and Huang Liji, as the first assistant to the cabinet, has the right and obligation to ask about this matter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Youzhen also didn't know why he was a little disgusted with Huang Liji, thinking about it, the biggest possibility was not that he hated Huang Liji himself, but that he hated the conservative bureaucrats behind Huang Liji, who did not want to forge ahead, and would only miss the country's major affairs.

For Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Youzhen just wanted to put up with him for a few months, and when Chongzhen was in the first year, he drove him home to retire, and at that time let Yuan Chonghuan enter the cabinet to fill the vacancy, and the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet is Li Guopu, from Li Guopu's support for his policy of alliance with Mongolia, it can be seen that this Li Guopu has some ability and vision than Huang Liji, and is more suitable to sit in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Of course, Huang Liji's resignation is a foregone conclusion, and he must have had a plan in his heart.

Wang Chengen saw that Zhu Youzhen was a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything?

Zhu Youzhen's idea in his heart is Zhao'an, but this time Zhao'an is different from the past, the court gives a very rich reward, Fujian Navy Admiral, plus the title of the Duke of Guo, can be hereditary, but if you want to get this title, you must make enough contributions to the imperial court, and Zhu Youzhen, the Duke of the Mansion, has also thought about preparing to set in Taiwan.

In this way, one can use the ability of the pirates to recover Taiwan, and can also take advantage of the situation to build their own Fujian sailors, if they master it well, they can also create a lot of income for the imperial court every year.

Zhu Youzhen looked at some of the pieces that he didn't finish last night, and said softly: "The Liaodong border is always a fish bone stuck in my throat, Sun Chengzong arrived in Liaodong, although he made some arrangements, why am I always uneasy in my heart? It was impossible to avoid that at all. ”

Wang Chengen was confused when he heard it, and he didn't dare to talk.

At this moment, the little eunuch outside the door reported that Luo Yangxing asked to see the holy driver.

Zhu Youzhen nodded in agreement.

After a while, Luo Yangxing, dressed in official uniform, walked into the main hall.

"Wechen has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Let's be flat."

Luo Yangxing stood up.

Zhu Youzhen asked, "What is the matter with coming to me so early?" ”

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, you confessed to Wei Chen, secretly inquired about Wei Zhongxian's property, after the minister received the order, he did not dare to delay, and sent people to inquire overnight, and found 230,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, 300 pieces of jade, 100 pairs of calligraphy and paintings, a total of 150,000 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, and four manors."

After listening to Luo's advice, Zhu Youzhen nodded and said softly: "Leave 10,000 taels of silver and 100 acres of fertile land for Wei Zhongxian's family, and give the rest to the household department, but tell Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, not to wear it outside." ”

"Yes. Then the minister went down to deal with it. ”

"Wait, I have one more thing for you to do."

Luo Yangxing bowed down and said, "Wechen is honored. ”

"In the court, Li Shuo once proposed to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, you also know this matter, I and Li Shuo want to go together, although Zhang Juzheng in the second year of the Apocalypse under the edict of the first emperor, some reputation, but the crime has not been washed away, I am not satisfied with this, I want to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng and reformulate a new policy, but this matter is very hindering, I want you to make some preparations."

"Weichen is ignorant, I don't know what the emperor means by this?" Luo Yangxing lowered his head and said, although his face was serious, but his heart was happy, the emperor said his true feelings in front of him, but he didn't regard himself as his cronies.

"Jin Yiwei began to build momentum around Beijing from now on, agitating the people, asking for Zhang Juzheng's life, restoring his reputation and the new policy." Zhu Youzhen said softly.

"Wechen obeys."

"Do this matter more secretly, don't let the ministers of the court find anything boring."

"Wechen understands."

"Let's go down."

"Wechen retired." Luo Yangxing said respectfully.

Instigating the people's tide and asking for Zhang Juzheng's life, this is an almost scoundrel political method, at that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will fall into passivity, coupled with the encouragement of some ministers to advocate the emperor's instructions, and the matter of rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng will become nine or eight times out of ten.

After Luo Yangxing went down, Zhu Youzhen pondered for a while, then stood up and said, "Wang Chengen, you go to find Wang Tiqian, I have something important to announce." ”

Wang Chengen said that he obeyed the order, and then went down to find Wang Tiqian to enter the temple to face the saint.

After Wei Zhongxian's death, Zhu Youzhen did not remove Wang Tiqian from his post, which was also to stabilize the hearts of those Wei Zhongxian's remaining party members in the court.

After a while, Wang Tiqian hurriedly rushed to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After kneeling, Zhu Youzhen said softly: "Wang Tiqian, Wang Chengen, I summoned you in front of the palace, I want you to draw up a holy decree for me, the palace maids and eunuchs are more than 10,000, the cost is too much, the treasury can not afford it, I am willing to start from myself, diligent and thrifty for the country, from now on, the ten female eunuchs in each palace will be reduced by six, and the silver in the imperial dining room will be reduced by seventy." ”

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Wang Tiqian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, if the number of eunuchs and palace maids is reduced, it will affect the royal prestige." Wang Tiqian raised his head and said, but he still had some words to say, the imperial dining room is easy to say, how to deal with the sixty percent of the eunuchs and palace maids, is it difficult to ignore them, let them starve to death on the streets, as long as the emperor decrees, the palace maids can also go out to find someone to marry, what about the eunuchs, they can't do any hard work, they will serve people, and they have no means to make a living after they go out.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "Wang Tiqian, you don't have to play dumb riddles with me, I know what you're worried about?" I've been thinking about your concerns for a long time. ”

Wang Tiqian's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said softly: "I don't know how the emperor will settle these people?" ”

"When the palace maids are twenty to thirty years old, they will leave the palace, and I will issue an edict to allow them to go out of the palace to marry, and those who are over thirty years old and under twenty years old do not need to leave the palace, and after the eunuchs are over fifty years old and leave the palace, they will be borne by the imperial court, and the monthly expenses will be borne by the inner treasury, and from thirty to forty years old, they will be distributed to the mansions of the feudal kings, and after their deaths, the feudal kings will settle the affairs after their deaths, and those who are twenty and thirty years old will be given two pieces of silver, and they will be given two pieces of silver, and they will be given their hometowns, and the local government will divide their fields, and let the government find children of ten years old for them to pass with them. As for those under the age of 20, they should not leave the palace, and in the future, the number of eunuchs recruited in the palace every year will be reduced by eighty, and it is strictly forbidden for the people to enter the palace by themselves. This matter will be handed over to the two of you to supervise, remember, over there in Kunning Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids who can enter the palace to serve should not let them out of the palace, I am afraid that the queen is not used to it, after writing the holy decree, submit it to the cabinet, and after the three-day court meeting, it will officially begin. ”

Zhu Youzhen has already said that he has reached this point, and Wang Tiqian can't say anything more, so he can only go down with Wang Chengen to draft the decree, but he will eventually feel uneasy in his heart, lest he will also be cut off by the emperor.

Shaanxi, Governor's Residence.

Li Shuo had just gotten up early in the morning, and arranged for the people in the Jinyi Guard to enter Beijing quickly and hand over the two pieces of music.

Just as he was thinking about going out to patrol the yamen and summon Chang'an officials to try the case, Song Mingyi came violently.

Last night, Song Mingyi got the news, saying that Li Shuo detained the prefect Kong Shengyi, and he turned the table angrily, this Kong Shengyi is a general under Song Mingyi, if Kong Shengyi is convicted by Li Shuo, his face is small, and his strength will be greatly damaged, he thought about it all night, and he also decided to block Li Shuo early tomorrow morning, and show him a showdown.

Song Mingyi came, and Li Shuo couldn't help but see him, so he could only ask the housekeeper to welcome Song Mingyi to the lobby.

Li Shuo sat on the main seat and waited, and when he saw Song Mingyi arrive at the door, he got up and arched his hand: "Lord Song is early." ”

"Futai is early."

"Seeing that Lord Song is so urgent, what is the so-called matter?" Of course, Li Shuo knew the purpose of Song Mingyi's trip, but he didn't want to say it.

"It's not a secret, today's officials came to Futai for yesterday's events."

Li Shuo smiled lightly and said: "Yesterday's incident, the evidence is conclusive, just need to try it and play it to the imperial court, this official is a little stupid, I don't know if Lord Song's trip is to intercede, or let this official deal with it impartially?" ”

Li Shuo provoked Song Mingyi.
