Wei Zhongxian's words made Zhu Youzhen's expression much more serious, he was right... Even if this White Lotus Sect has great ability, it is just a cult that has turned into an underground cult after all.

Even if he wanted to assassinate Zhu Youzhen, why could he find an opportunity immediately after Zhu Youzhen left the palace today.

Behind this, it is said that there is no one to instruct it.

Zhu Youzhen doesn't believe it.

However, Zhu Youzhen, who calmed down, still spoke: "Anyway, now go back to the palace first.. I always felt that there must be something strange behind this matter. ”

Wei Zhongxian also nodded hurriedly.

No one knows if there is a backhand in this line of thorns, in case another one will jump out of some obscure corner of the street.

Let Zhu You detect something, then no matter how much credit he Wei Zhongxian has, it is estimated that it will be a capital crime.

And after Zhu Youzhen left.

On the second floor of a restaurant on the side of the street, a middle-aged woman in coarse cloth clothes looked at all this coldly...

His mouth was still whispering: "Dog Emperor.. Let you pick up a life, next time it won't be so simple. ”

After speaking, he got up to check out the bill and left in a hurry.

After a while, he disappeared into the flow of people on the streets of the capital.

...

After returning to the palace, Zhu Youzhen told Wei Zhongxian to go to Dongchang to supervise the interrogation first, and investigate the ins and outs of the matter as quickly as possible.

Although today's scene was something Zhu Youzhen had never experienced, he did not panic.

After all, there are guards everywhere.

Zhu Youzhen knew that the moment the man jumped out, at least three Migne rifles were already in a state of waiting to be fired.

If it weren't for the trouble on the streets, coupled with the fear that Zhu Youzhen might be injured by a ricochet, it is estimated that at that moment, the woman who stabbed would have been pierced through several holes.

"It's much faster for Wei Zhongxian to do the affairs of the White Lotus Sect than for me to do it myself, and Sun Yuanhua told him that he can come back!" Zhu Youzhen calmed down for a while and said to Wang Chengen.

"Yes.. The Emperor.."

Since the internal reform and restructuring of the Ming Dynasty, the overall operation speed of the Ming Dynasty has reached an unprecedented speed.

Almost every article from Zhu Youzhen or various new-style departments and bureaus will often be pushed down as quickly as possible.

News of Zhu You's assassination was blocked.

For a while, we still need to wait for the results after being tortured by the East Factory, but according to Zhu Youzhen's judgment.

Even if the White Lotus Sect had no brains, it was impossible for him to dare to assassinate Zhu Youzhen directly, and during this time, he also understood that it was better for him not to leave the palace.

I don't know what else will happen during this time, and the Ming Dynasty will have internal and external troubles. There really can't be any more mess.

Next.

When Zhu Youzhen came to Dongnuan Pavilion, the first thing he did was to ask Wang Chengen to grind and polish his pen.

For this time the floods in Jiangxi.

If disaster relief coordination is not carried out in a timely manner, it is estimated that many people will suffer losses.

In fact, when this kind of natural disaster occurred, in the traditional feudal society, as the emperor, he was able to feed the affected people and barely survive.

He can already be said to be a very wise and capable king.

But Zhu Youzhen wants far more than that, what he wants is more critical than this, and what he wants is to pass the disaster in Jiangxi this time.

Completely let the whole Jiangxi become a military center of the Ming court on the southeast coast, and the Tianhu army will be transferred to the south on a large scale in the future, after all, the Huang Taiji and the Mongols in the north will no longer have the ability to wrestle with the Ming Dynasty for a while.

Being able to protect himself is already the result of Zhu Youzhen's reluctance to continue the Northern War.

At that time, Jiangxi will become the military region in the interior that Zhu Youzhen attaches the most importance to.

Through Jiangxi, it can radiate to the surrounding provinces.

"The Emperor.. Huang Liji came to meet him. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, signaling that he could let people in.

As soon as he raised his head, Zhu Youzhen's expression was stunned, Huang Liji's face at the moment was full of old age and exhaustion, just a glance at his eyes could see that he probably hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

"What's wrong with Huang Aiqing lately? I see you're a lot older than the other day." Zhu Youzhen said very bluntly.

But Huang Liji responded with a bitter face: "Your Majesty.. The Ministry of Education has just started, and everything is really heavy and complicated, and the minister has been a little tired lately."

As Zhu Youzhen guessed, Huang Liji, who was also the secretary of the Ministry of Education from the first assistant to the cabinet, was not at all relaxed.

After Huang Liji shifted his focus to the Ministry of Education, the cabinet of the Ming court made frequent mistakes, which made Zhu Youzhen very dissatisfied.

As a result, other auxiliary ministers who really had no way to deal with the cabinet affairs returned to Huang Liji...

It can't help but make Huang Liji a little exhausted, after all, he is still nominally the first assistant of the cabinet.

For these cabinet matters.

He still has an inescapable responsibility.

Zhu Youzhen said with some reluctance: "Didn't I order the Ministry of Officials to send more officials over there for you... How can you still make Aiqing tired like this. ”

There are many ministers who can be used in the Ming Dynasty, but there are very few talents like Huang Liji who can take charge on their own.

"Your Majesty.. The minister didn't feel too tired, and it would be good to take a break after a while.. But there is another thing I want to report to the emperor personally. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"Your Majesty... Is it possible to postpone the time of the new imperial examination again, Jiangxi has been suspended for a while after the flood, and it has endangered the surrounding area. I'm afraid that the new imperial examination will be hindered because of this! ”

Zhu Youzhen, who was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "Can't you continue?" ”

Huang Liji shook his head, then lowered his head again, waiting for Zhu Youzhen's final holy ruling.

"Spread my will, because of the impact of the flood disaster in Jiangxi, the new imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was postponed for one month. I'm right. ”

"The ministers are the students of the Ming Dynasty, thank the emperor for his grace."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "Aiqing is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and Aiqing can make his own decisions about such things in the future... If you wait for me to make a decision, you will often make mistakes. ”

Huang Liji, who raised his head, looked at Zhu Youzhen with some consternation, and said, "Your Majesty.. This new imperial examination is related to the safety of the imperial court and society, and it is also related to the well-being of the people in the world. Forgive the ministers for not daring to assert themselves! ”

"The final trend of this new imperial examination is to recruit the students and scholars of the Ming Dynasty to enter the graduate school for me, and finally become officials."

"But what I want to tell you... In the end, it's all about education! ”

Huang Liji was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Your Majesty, since you want to become an official, then the minister thinks that this new imperial examination should not be just a simple education."

"What I want to say is that the so-called learning and excellence is just a further step in education, and in the future, the graduate school system will send talents to all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty, not just the court."
