However, for Zhu Jian, the court is too quiet, but it is not a thing to be happy about, which can only show that the enemy of the court is already hidden in the shadows, take Qian Qianyi as an example, he didn't say a word about the court meeting for a whole hour.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
What will happen, Zhu Jian is not sure, maybe they have deeper plans, or maybe the opening of Dengzhou is harmless to them.
However, misfortune happened!
When Zhu Jian returned to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chengen came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Now rumors are spreading in Beijing, saying that Lord Hong Chengchou is wantonly scraping in the south of the Yangtze River, causing public resentment to boil! Now the imperial historians are preparing to collectively write a letter to His Majesty to severely punish Hong Chengchou! ”
"Oh."
Hearing this, Zhu Jian frowned.
Of course, it is not because I heard that Hong Chengchou wantonly scraped the matter, but where this rumor started, and why it was Hong Chengchou who was directly attacked!
It turned out that Hong Chengchou's secret report had reached Jingshi a few days ago.
In the letter, Hong Chengchou introduced all the process of how the eight million taels of silver obtained from this trip were collected, not to mention that the person who walked with Hong Chengchou was an 'iron-blooded' person, not that Zhu Jian was not at ease with Hong Chengchou, but as a king, and a king in troubled times, it is always good to be careful.
Of course, what is more important is the plan used by Hong Chengchou on this trip, which was also ordered by Zhu Jian before his departure, and it can be said that Hong Chengchou just played the role of an executor.
So what kind of people could it be that spread these rumors? What is their purpose?
The only thing Zhu Jian could imagine about this was the rich people in Jiangnan who had just been slaughtered by Hong Chengchou, and their spokesmen in Beijing and in the entire Ming Dynasty - Donglin Party!
"Looks like the wind is coming!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Jian sighed unconsciously.
"Chengen, go to the cabinet to check the Tang newspaper and see where Hong Chengchou is!"
Hearing what Zhu Jian said, Wang Chengen retreated quickly.
Not long after, Wang Chengen came in a hurry.
"Back to Your Majesty, the cabinet just reported that Lord Hong had already passed Baoding Mansion, and he would be able to arrive in Beijing later today!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jian's brows gradually eased, after all, as soon as the party arrived, everything was easy to explain.
"Chengen, you go down first, and when Hong Chengchou returns to Beijing, bring him to the Qianqing Palace immediately!"
"Yes, the old slave will go and prepare."
At this moment, seeing Wang Chengen go down, Zhu Jian's heart was complicated.
Isn't it time to do it?
This is a question that Zhu Jian has always had in his heart, who to ask? Naturally, ask yourself. It's been more than two months since I came to this world.
Don't look at guarding the Beijing Division, sending envoys to Mongolia, Jin Ming to negotiate peace, managing Liaodong, etc., Zhu Jian has done a lot, but Zhu Jian understands in his heart that these are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket to save such a dying dynasty, and it can be said that they are simply irrelevant and harmless!
Why?
But it was because of the disorder of the Ming Dynasty officials, the existence of corrupt officials, and the misery of the people, and Zhu Jian did not touch the cheese of these Ming officials at all.
The guard post is dilapidated, the fugitive sergeants are difficult to contain, and the guard post system exists in name only, but Zhu Jian has not started to prepare for the guard post at all.
Although Zhu Jian set up a donation bureau, and built a new commercial port in Dengzhou, and set up a 'supervision hall', it can't solve the problem at all, and donation, that is not a long-term solution!
As for the enclosure of the feudal kings and the natural disasters......
Zhu Jianna didn't have time to take care of it at all.
Reform shakes the national system, when it is slowly unfolding, this is an idea that Zhu Jian never thought about once! Indeed, the reform is undoubtedly the cheese that will move the vast majority of the people of this empire.
As soon as the cheese moves, then there will naturally be trouble, if one person is okay, more than a hundred or so people are okay, and once it involves the entire Ming officialdom, even if Zhu Jian is the emperor, he does not dare to guarantee that he can withstand the pressure!
So this is the reason why Zhu Jian has always been just making a small fuss and refusing to come to the earth-shaking reform.
However, today's sudden hearing of the news made Zhu Jian wake up a little as if he was in another world, and woke up the person in his dream with a word!
Today's situation has made Zhu Jianhu understand a truth.
That is the suspicion of changing the law and shaking the country's foundation; And unchanged, but sitting still! The so-called change is also death, and unchanged is also death, but it is just a matter of time.
So instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to fight to the death!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jian had already made up his mind.
Things in the world are changing rapidly, if you really wait for the slow reform, who can ensure that it will be completed! On the contrary, if you are caught off guard, you may be able to turn things around in one fell swoop!
Perhaps people say that there is no Zhang Juzheng in the world!
And Zhu Jian vowed that he should hold up a piece of the Ming Dynasty, let it be difficult, and never take half a step back!
"Where is the iron will! Quickly mobilize the Dragon and Tiger Army and tell Lu Xiangsheng that the Beijing Division is under martial law! ”
"Notify the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Luo Yangxing, and all the idle people in the prison will be cleared, so that there will be enough vacant seats for me!"
"Convene the ministers of the cabinet later, and discuss the affairs of the Qianqing Palace!"
"Send a message to Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong, and Yuan Keli to enter Beijing quickly! By the way, tell the Marquis of Wuling that he will return to his hometown to guard filial piety for three years, and I will not allow it for the time being, so his son will temporarily return to his hometown to guard filial piety! ”
......
"Tonight, Qianqing Palace, all martial law!"
After ordering everything, Zhu Jian actually felt a sense of relief, sitting on the dragon chair, but sighed heavily.
"It's time to come! Come on! ”
The night was getting deeper, and when Hong Chengchou rushed back to Beijing without stopping, he was even in a hurry to drink his saliva, and he was hurriedly pulled to the palace by Wang Chengen, who had been waiting for a long time.
And along the way, the whole city in Jingshi City is under martial law, and he can only enter and not exit, but it makes Hong Chengchou a little puzzled, but for him who has been in officialdom for a long time, he can feel that a storm seems to be coming!
"Uncle Zhongyi, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Hong Chengchou collided with Li Biao, a cabinet minister who was about to enter the palace.
"Elder Li Ge, it's been a long time!"
Hong Chengchou also returned the salute.
"How about you and me?"
"Very good! By the way, Ge Lao, Hong has just returned to Beijing, but he saw that the Beijing division was suddenly on guard, but he didn't know why? ”
Hearing this, Li Biao also withdrew his smile and said softly.
"I don't know what the specific thing is, but Uncle Zhongyi, now this Jingshi said that you are wantonly collecting money, but it is making a fuss, in my opinion, it can't get rid of it!"
As for what Li Biao said, Hong Chengchou's face changed greatly.
"Not long ago, I made it clear to Your Majesty that it is impossible to do such a thing that is indignant to these people!"
Seeing this, Li Biao shook his head.
"This matter started from you, but the person who is aimed at it is not your loyal uncle!"
