It is undeniable that there are loyal patriots among the scholars, and many officials were martyred when the city of Beijing was broken. When Jiannu was raging, there were also many gentry officials who insisted on not surrendering the city and committed suicide, and there were also many scholars who would rather die than surrender Jiannu.

However, compared with the large number of gentry class, these people are always only a minority, and more gentry do not hesitate to shave their hair and kneel and lick barbarians for their own interests, and those who take the initiative to seek official positions abound. For these gentry, as long as they can protect their own interests, any national righteousness is a fart!

Zhu Youzhen has been extremely disgusted with the gentry class, and he must completely eradicate this privileged class, but how to eradicate it must be carefully considered. Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen's anger gradually disappeared.

Since Cao Yubian came to Jinan day and night, it shows the attitude of the court officials, at least the attitude of the cabinet has reached a unity, and he thinks that he has done something too much so that he sent Cao Yubian to stop him.

The cabinet represents the court, and the court represents the gentry of the world, and what he did in Shandong will soon reach the ears of the gentry of the world. If the gentry are really killed in the whole of Shandong, it will inevitably cause a great shock to the gentry in the world.

It is undeniable that Cao Yubian is still right in some words, the so-called "good birds choose trees and perch", if the emperor is too cruel to the gentry, making them feel desperate and feel that death is coming, the gentry in the world will inevitably rebound, and then there will be beacons everywhere, and even if he has an army of 100,000, he will be tired of coping.

So a lot of things have to be done slowly......

"It is indeed too expensive for the Liaodong Praetorian Guard to transfer to Shandong, so let's send someone to recover the holy decree and cancel the transfer of troops." Zhu Youzhen said slowly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Cao Yubian said happily.

"However, Shandong is really too chaotic, there are several bandits in Yimeng Mountain, and they go out of the mountains to rob at every turn, and there are many horses in the northwest of Shandong, threatening the canal and transport, and the decree is to transfer Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of southern Liaoning, to be the general soldier of Shandong, and he can take 5,000 pacesetters to take office, responsible for clearing out the bandits in Shandong." Zhu Youzhen continued.

The transfer of troops from 20,000 to 5,000, and the transfer of Zhou Yuji, a general, was to deter the Shandong gentry and facilitate the continued implementation of reforms. The officials of the prefectures and counties in the fire dragon burning warehouse must be cleaned up, and the hundreds of sects that have been trained must also be distributed as officials, and then some poor scholars will be recruited, and the Qingtian Division and the Inspection Department will be enriched, and the fire will be sown in Shandong, waiting for the day when it will take root and sprout. Shandong is close to the Central Plains, adjacent to Beijing in the north, and faces Liaodong by the sea, so it must be completely controlled in hand.

"Your Majesty, the old minister was appointed by the cabinet to take over the corruption case of officials in Shandong, but in the future, if there is corruption of officials, please hand it over to the old minister to be responsible." Cao Yubian said. Since the emperor has withdrawn his will to transfer troops, it is inconvenient for him to continue to entangle, as for the emperor's transfer of Zhou Yuji as the chief soldier of Shandong, it is also a normal category of employment, and Cao Yubian can say anything, and he is not qualified to say anything, so he can only talk about the corruption of officials. As long as the emperor is willing to give the power to dispose of the officials involved to the Inspectorate, it means that the emperor does not plan to mess around.

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while: "Okay, if a corrupt official is caught in the future, the Inspectorate will be responsible for interrogation." ”

What does it mean to be caught, and do you want to continue to arrest people? Cao Yubian wanted to continue to dissuade, but thinking that the emperor had given in and promised to hand over the people to the Inspectorate, there would be no more massacres, and he would not be too persecutive.

"The old minister will do his best to clean up the Shandong government for His Majesty. By the way, His Majesty has been in Jinan Panhuan for two months, I don't know when to go south, the matter of worshiping the filial piety tomb can not be delayed any longer, Qin Tianjian has already calculated the day, June 9 is a good auspicious day, the most suitable for worship. Cao Yubian said.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, this was to drive him out of Shandong.

"There is still more than a month until June 9, so there is no hurry."

"Your Majesty, time is already very rushed," Cao Yubian said urgently, "from Jinan to Nanjing 1,300 miles, the speed of taking the canal and waterway is not fast, it will take at least a month, and after arriving in Nanjing, I will have to prepare for some time, and I am afraid it will be too late if I don't set off." ”

Whether it is to worship the ancestors yourself or you to worship the ancestors, looking at Cao Yubian, who is more anxious than himself, Zhu Youzhen was a little speechless.

However, the establishment structure of the Qingtian Division and the Inspection Division has not yet been completed, and a few days later, a group of poor scholars will be recruited through the examination to enrich the two divisions, and then the Jinan Branch of the Daming People's Bank will be established in Jinan, and there are still many things that have not been done, so it is impossible to go now, at least until ten and a half months later.

"I have been working hard for the past few days, and my body is a little tired, I want to recuperate in Jinan for a few days, by the way, I will play in Daming Lake, Baotu Spring and Qianfo Mountain, and then I will go to Qufu to worship the Confucian Temple, and after going to the Confucian Temple, I will set off to the south." Zhu Youzhen said perfunctorily.

Cao Yubian was a little speechless, Your Majesty, what have you done to the Kong family, and now you are going to the Confucian Temple, what do the Confucian family think?

But since the emperor said that he was unwell, as a courtier, he couldn't continue to persuade him, so he couldn't persuade the emperor to go south with illness, right? Cao Yubian thought about it, so he could only give up and persuade again.

However, with this matter, he knew that the emperor must have other plans in Jinan.

"May I ask Your Majesty, most of the officials of the three divisions of Shandong have been taken down, but the government can't do things without people, so it should be selected to serve again." Cao Yubian continued.

"Then the cabinet and the ministry will negotiate and elect the chief secretary and the judge according to the official candidates." Zhu Youzhen didn't care.

The officials of the yamen have been inserted, and these yamen are equivalent to being controlled in their own hands, as for who is the chief official of the yamen, Zhu Youzhen does not care. After all, according to the system, these chief officials must be meritorious and famous non-commissioned officers, and they can only be selected and transferred from among the current officials.

In fact, he asked Zhu Youzhen to appoint him, and he did not have a suitable candidate, because he did not have his own confidants and civil officials.

Inheriting the unification with the vassal king, there are not subordinate officials of the prince's mansion like the prince, and there are familiar civil officials and teachers, and there is no one in Zhu Youzhen's bag at all.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of appointing officials privately, Cao Yubian's heart suddenly relaxed. He was afraid that the emperor would make a mess, and he would appoint officials from the three divisions at will, and appoint any clan or the like as political envoys and envoys, which would be a joke.

Although Jinan officialdom was killed by the emperor, there were people in the court who were willing to come to Jinan to be officials. So, Cao Yubian retired and left satisfied.

"Come here!" Outside the room, looking at Cao Yubian who was walking away, Liu Wenbing beckoned gently, and a captain in brocade clothes ran over quickly.

Liu Wenbing whispered a few words in the ear of the captain of Jinyi, and the captain nodded, turned around and chased Cao Yubian away.
