In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, in 1627, Zhu Youxiao crossed the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year.

The death of Concubine Duan Chun made the atmosphere of the New Year in the palace much lighter this year. This year is a very special year for Zhu Youxiao, in history, on August 22 this year, Zhu Youxiao died of illness, he changed the fate of others, but I don't know if he changed his own fate.

On the 10th day of the first month, the cabinet sent a letter to ask for a letter to Wang Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youxiao did not send it. Since the implementation of Article 1 of the New Deal, Zhu Youxiao has never mentioned the matter of the New Deal again, and this time it was the cabinet that tested Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards the New Deal. It's just that one of the articles in the New Deal is about cutting feudal domains.

"This time, the cabinet asked for a new year for you, but I was left behind and did not send it, I hope you can understand." Zhu Youzhen said to Zhu Youzhen.

"The younger brother understands what the imperial brother means." Zhu Youzhen said respectfully.

"It's best if you can understand." Zhu Youxiao said softly.

"The courtiers know that the number of royal clansmen is too large, and the annual cost is huge, and the empire is already overwhelmed, and it is imperative to cut the vassals." Zhu Youzhen said.

"Don't worry, I will be of great use to you." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Brother Xie Huang Longen!" Zhu Youzhen said respectfully.

……

After seeing Zhu Youzhen, it was the turn of Princess Zhu Huiyan of Ningde and her mother Concubine Fu Yi. Zhu Huiyan is also eighteen years old this year, and when Zhu Youxiao promised to choose a horse for her, Concubine Fu Yi couldn't wait to choose a horse for Zhu Huiyan.

"Imperial Concubine, this is a candidate submitted by the Zongren Mansion. Of course, if the royal sister has a favorite object, I am also willing to make decisions for her and give her a marriage. Zhu Youxiao said.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Concubine Fu Yi looked at Zhu Huiyan, only to see Zhu Huiyan shaking her head gently and shyly, indicating that she did not have a favorite object. Zhu Huiyan usually stays at home, and wants to find someone she likes, but the possibility is almost zero.

"In that case, then ask the imperial concubine to select a few candidates from the booklet first, and after the selection, I will let them enter the palace, and then the imperial concubine and the imperial sister will personally select them in person." Zhu Youxiao said.

"What the emperor promised, after Huiyan gets married, will it really be fulfilled?" Fu Yifei asked.

"I have three younger sisters, and my promise will be fulfilled. For the sake of these three sisters, even if everyone in the world opposes it, I will definitely abolish all unreasonable ancestral systems. Zhu Youxiao said with an oath.

……

History is always an amazing coincidence, even if Zhu Youxiao is already changing history, but this time the captain of the horse still chose Liu Youfu, the son of Liu Zongzheng, deputy commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division.

After knowing the news, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh: It's really a long-cherished marriage, and no one can break it up! I don't know what will happen to the next two sisters?

In early February, Zhu Youxiao convened another cabinet meeting to discuss the new policy.

"The first article of the new policy has been implemented for so long, what is the feedback from various places?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the situation reported by the state capitals in various places, it should be said that it is a mixed bag." Han Yi replied.

"Yang Aiqing, why do you think this happens?" Zhu Youxiao asked Yang Liandao. Although Yang Lian is not a member of the cabinet, this time Yang Lian was also called by Zhu Youxiao to attend the cabinet meeting together.

"The minister thinks that the first article of the new policy is to benefit the country and the people, from the minister's trip to Shandong, as well as the news obtained from the Yushitai in various places, the people everywhere are very very fond of using the silver dollar, after the use of the silver dollar to pay taxes, the people's income has increased, but the local yamen do not like the silver dollar, after the implementation of the silver dollar tax, it means that the fire consumption is canceled, which makes them lose a lot of income, which makes them disobedient to the implementation of the new policy." Yang Lian replied.

"Do you have any comments on Yang Aiqing's words?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

What Yang Lian said was the truth, everyone here knew it, and everyone was silent about Zhu Youxiao's questioning.

"Yang Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to the Inspectorate to be responsible, if someone in the Yushitai dares to go along with it, the crime will be added to the first degree." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"No. The minister will definitely deal with this matter severely. Yang Lian replied.

"Judging from the implementation of Article 1 of the New Deal, there is no problem with the New Deal, and the problem is the person who implements the New Deal. The people below are against the yin, don't think I don't know, the people say: If the official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, if anyone dares to disobey the yang and yin, I will not even be able to sell sweet potatoes. Zhu Youxiao said angrily.

After so many years, Zhu Youxiao's aura is getting more and more full, and once he gets angry, all the ministers are silent.

"Also, the results of the competition between Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hebei provinces have come out, and Shanxi has obvious advantages, beating Hebei and Shaanxi, especially Shaanxi, which will be far behind Shanxi, or even inferior to Hebei." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Donglin Academy is just an ordinary academy, why does Your Majesty always refuse to let go of your prejudices against Donglin Academy?" As soon as Gao Panlong heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he understood the meaning, and he immediately stood up and said frankly.

Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng brothers are the founders of Donglin Academy, in history, Gao Panlong is also very temperamental, when he was slandered by the eunuchs, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, and proved his innocence by dying.

"Your Majesty, please think twice." There were several officials present who knelt down together and admonished.

"Yang Aiqing, I once told you that in Daming, I don't need the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and any factions are not allowed, do you remember?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Chen remembers, but ......," Yang Lian nodded and said.

Yang Lian's words were interrupted by Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao said unceremoniously: "You never think that you are forming a party for personal gain, so how can you prove your innocence?" I think that the closure of Donglin Academy is your only chance to prove your innocence. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Yang Lian and Han Yi stopped talking, but Gao Panlong was always unwilling to give up, "Your Majesty ......"

"Passing the decree, wearing Jinyiwei immediately close Donglin Academy, from today on, no one is allowed to give lectures in Donglin Academy, and no one is allowed to enter the scope of Donglin Academy, and those who dare to resist the decree will be exiled to Leng Zhou." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No." Wang Liqian bowed and replied.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's will, Gao Panlong's reaction was the most intense, only to see that his face was pale, he wanted to speak but couldn't say it, the whole person was shaky, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Yuncong, are you okay?" Seeing this, Yang Lian grabbed Gao Panlong and asked anxiously.

"Come on, help Gao Aiqing down to rest." Zhu Youxiao commanded.
