Zhang Xuan returned to Beijing from Shandong.

Along the way, whenever he meets someone, he has to talk to him about the four words 'good for himself', and this is still a good thought.

Since ancient times, anyone who is a cool official of the Son of Heaven will inevitably die a good death in the end.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhang Xuan naturally understands this truth, but in life, how can there be so many choices, when the emperor found him, could he live if he chose not to be a cool official?

When this Forbidden City is what kind of place?

Red walls and yellow tiles, the temple is a group, vast and boundless, from the noon gate to the end gate, this road is not long, but it is unusually open, and it seems to be more open than before, walking here alone, like a flat boat on the sea, floating uncertainly, it will capsize at any time.

The man with the crown had already arranged the ending for everyone.

"Minister Zhang Xuan, knock to see Your Majesty."

The emperor doesn't like the chattering dress of the gods, the Tao and the Buddha are not reflected in the Qianqing Palace, and the imperial case is a few books, a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then there are some books used to pass the time.

"Flat."

"Your Majesty."

After getting up, he stood with his arms straight, bent over, his head slightly bowed, and did not dare to look directly at the Son of Heaven.

"Everything in Shandong has been done?"

"Back to the emperor, everything has been done, although it is not over yet, but all prefectures, states, and counties are making normal progress, if there is a block, the minister will clean it up."

"The rearranged fish scale atlas will be given to me after all officials at all levels have signed it."

He had to keep a file in the household department, and at the same time send someone to check it, as long as there is a fake, the signed official is jointly and severally liable.

"Yes."

"I have made a decree to Jiangnan, Yingtian, Fengyang, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi are the second batch of Qingtian land, and you will sit in Beijing from today onwards, always for scheduling, Shandong will not have to go again, and Jiangnan will not have to."

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao got up, walked out from behind the imperial case, walked around to him, and whispered after getting closer: "Come with me." ”

This is the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, to the left, is the inner warm pavilion, but the summer ventilation, not stuffy.

These days, except for Shandong, which is in Qingtian, in fact, all over the country have been playing to the court after smelling the smell, they have listed all kinds of crimes against Zhang Xuan, hating to eat his flesh raw, at first saying that he was greedy for ink, and then it was to mutilate people's lives, and then use the emperor's statement to come out.

Among the Jingshi, few people spoke for him, and there were many who added fuel to the fire.

The current officialdom is fierce and abnormal, there is scolding among the gentry, everyone wants to get rid of it quickly, the so-called court situation, from Zhu Houzhao's point of view, it is nothing more than that, as long as he doesn't nod, no one can move Zhang Zhang.

In history, if it was a weak emperor, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty would probably have to gather together again, but when they encountered such a ruthless method as Jiajing, they suffered a few losses, so they could only plan secretly.

Just like now facing Emperor Zhengde, no matter how many of these recitals there are, can any of the important officials in Beijing dare to take the lead?

But......

"I grew up in the court, and it has long been common for all parties in power to attack each other and seek their own agendas. The world is bustling, all for profit, and the temples and fly camps are all for fame. They can't do anything about me, but they have come up with a lot of ways to deal with you. ”

Zhang Xuan didn't understand the holy will, and suddenly heard this and was half frightened to death, and knelt directly on the ground, "Weichen has the emperor's trust, please give the emperor a sin!" ”

"I didn't tell you to kneel." Zhu Houzhao helped the person up, and pointed to a basket of recitals on the small table in front of him, "There are only about half of these recitals, don't look at the remaining half, the court and the court, the internal and external officialdom, all those who oppose the Qingtian order, I have gradually sent people to secretly visit, some people have no problem, but they disagree, or they can't get used to you, I won't care, and you don't have to worry about them." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled, or the emperor was magnanimous, if he wanted to replace him. It's a pity that the Son of Heaven didn't let him see the half of the music, so to speak, this half ......

But some people ...... "The words of the Son of Heaven have slowed down here."

Zhang Xuan's heart was sudden, did His Majesty mean ......?

He looked up slightly to find that the Emperor was looking at him, "Your Majesty." ”

"You're right here, take a moment to read it. You can't copy it, you can't carry it, it's your business to remember how much you can remember. After he went out, he didn't say a word about it. ”

Not a word?

"Yes, Wechen understands."

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands over his chest and said in a quiet tone: "I probably know what you can hear lately. I also understand that the people who kneel in this palace say that they are loyal, but there are few who really believe in their hearts. But I am not demanding, and I am not demanding that the people of the world do not care about their own lives. It's always like that, it's me who can't get along with myself. ”

Zhang Xuan was shocked in his heart, how could the emperor know everything!

"What I want to tell you is that this emperor I will not only do it for two or three days, and the world of the Ming Dynasty will not have no new strategies until the Qingtian Order. In the past, the emperor was for power, everyone was afraid, and there was no one who offended, so that's it. I also value power, but I hold power in my hands to do things. And you, you can still do something. ”

Although this passage is a bit mysterious, it is a heart-to-heart word.

Zhu Houzhao didn't plan to kill Zhang Xuan, although this guy had shortcomings, but as he said, he was a person who did things.

And he is different from the emperors of previous dynasties, he has so much information in his mind that later generations, and some decisions are often very subversive.

Besides, in fact, he is not willing to kill some capable ministers, whether it is Yang Yiqing, Wang Qiong, Zhang Xuan, Yang Tinghe, people may be able to come in handy when they are alive, and they can only burn paper money for them when they die.

Zhang Xuan is also a smart person, he understands, and he understands even more that the emperor's expression is to let him continue to do things faithfully, not half-heartedly and lose his favor.

When he was a practical person, what puzzled Zhu Houzhao the most was not what others said, and his mind would not be moved by the words of others. I'm afraid that this person has made a mistake. For example, after Zhang Xuan is really arrogant, he commits an unforgivable crime, and it will be difficult to do it at that time.

So far, he has reminded Zhou Shangwen to restrain his family, and it is also a ...... to give Wei Guogong a verbal command in advance

Then, the emperor was on the side, and Zhang Xuan generously flipped through these notes for him, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, if it wasn't for the king, he would have scolded him.

Since they were left behind by the Son of Heaven, these people must have some problems, but they are so righteous and awe-inspiring when they fall on paper.

Zhu Houzhao often glanced at him in the process, and saw that he sometimes looked at him angrily and did not make a spectacle, "It's also strange to say, there is only one saint in thousands of years, but our Ming Dynasty is powerful, and many saints full of benevolence and morality have come out." It's not good for me to move them directly, and it will be easier to use you, but since these people have the handle, you can do it beautifully. ”

If you borrow a knife to kill someone, the emperor will say it directly, Zhang Xuan really doesn't know what to say, the Son of Heaven shows people with the Great Dao, whether it is good or bad, he is not afraid of history, even if he is also taught.

"Your Majesty can rest assured, Weichen thinks that he is not that kind of person."

"Do you know how to make it pretty?" Zhu Houzhao was originally sitting, but he bent down at this time and asked.

Zhang Xuan replied: "Naturally, it is dignified and upright, so that people can't gossip." ”

"If you want to gossip about you, no matter how bright and upright you are, you will still gossip, and besides, you are not really selfless." Zhu Houzhao curled the corners of his mouth, "I said that I did it beautifully, not for them to see, but for me to see, above selfishness, and then there is some public heart, this is called beautiful." ”

Zhang Xuan instantly understood, that is, not only to kill, but also to take care of business.

"We're confused, we're confused."

"Okay, don't look at it a second time, it won't be beautiful a second time, go out of the palace."

"Yes, Weichen retired."

Zhang Xuan slowly retreated, straightened up after reaching the outside of the palace, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The emperor has ruled the country for many years, his thoughts have become deeper and deeper, and his methods have become more and more spicy, and he thinks that he is also a person who understands the sacred heart, but this time he has not been able to grasp the essentials several times, which is actually to be vigilant.

To put it bluntly, the problem was not considered from the emperor's point of view.

In the long run, I can't figure out the true thoughts of Bai Zi, and it is easy to deviate from doing things, and if there are any consequences, it will be too late to regret it.

For example, looking at the impeachment of these officials, the emperor is not playing with him and venting his anger for him. It's ridiculous that I was so swayed by my emotions that I forgot what really mattered for a while.

"Pretty? Interesting. Zhang Xuan murmured softly and laughed, as if self-deprecating and admiring.

After Zhang Xuan left, Zhu Houzhao was bored with these songs, and under the contemplation of his brows, he was actually still thinking about it, "Zhang Zhang's murder will inevitably be named in the name of revenge, and it will not be long before everyone shouts and beats him." I'm still forcing them to agree to build a palace for me to escape the heat, and the fire and cooking oil are gathered in one pot, for fear that someone will suffer disaster. ”

"Your Majesty is so powerful that you don't dare to go against the Son of Heaven."

The sycophants of the address do not solve the problem.

Zhu Houzhao's fundamental purpose is that there can be no delay for a moment in the affairs of Jiangnan, and only by means of fierce and swift as a tiger can the world truly understand the meaning of the imperial court.

Jing Shaokui promoted him as a new official, he was loyal enough, and his prestige was insufficient, so he really needed a helper at this moment.

However, Zhang Xuan did not go to Jiangnan, it was his intention, and there would be far more human lives than Shandong.

"You Address,"

"The slave is here."

"You are loyal to me, I know it, and the person who guards in Nanjing is also your person."

You Zhi has known for many years that the emperor pays attention to a sincere word, as long as he is honest, he will be basically fine, "I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, Your Majesty saw that person in Nanjing last year, he had nothing to do with slaves and maids, but he has made many tributes over the past year, and he also wants to serve the emperor very much." ”

"Good. Transfer him to the palace, you will train him. ”

You Ji was delighted, "Yes, the slave and maid thank the emperor for his kindness." ”

The Son of Heaven agreed to the entry of his own people into the palace, which was a confirmation and reinforcement of status.

But Zhu Houzhao will not be unreasonable, "The reason why I say that you are loyal is that you did not secretly get rid of Liu Jin, and you are still obedient to this." ”

You Ji's heart was shocked, what does this mean?

"Then Liu Jin should still be guarding the tomb in Fengyang? A decree was sent to him to serve as a garrison in Nanjing. ”

The garrison of Nanjing, also known as the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison and the official of the Nanjing garrison, is responsible for the management of the imperial city of Nanjing, the command of the 24 yamen of Nanjing and the army of Nanjing, and the garrison in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, where there is no emperor, is like a local emperor.

Liu Jin has a very bad reputation, and his methods are despicable and ruthless. After the fall of the year, it was almost forgotten, and it was suddenly mentioned this time, and it was strange not to scare those people.
