Zhou Zhao has Zhou Zhao's cognition, and Zhu Houxi has Zhu Houxi's vision.

dared to send Zhang Fujing south because he had known that he was a fierce man, and also because Liang Chu told him a lot about Liangguang before leaving, and said that he would cooperate.

Although the killing of officials in the southeast is a chain reaction, the impression he has formed in the minds of important officials in the past six months is also valuable.

If there is any civil unrest, which side has a better chance of winning?

Even if there is a wall grass in the court, the fear of Zhu Houxi in his heart will also have a lot of weight.

At the end of the day, it's just profit.

Only those who win will have benefits, and those who will lose will only have the stygian coins.

Zhou Zhao's exhortation was certainly safe, but it was only a regular emperor's operation.

The matter of the wedding prince is just used to lure the snake out of the hole.

I didn't expect this person to be fine, and he didn't say anything about it, and he didn't persuade him.

In that case, let's boil less old men, so that the pressure on the courtiers is not so great.

Zhu Houxi listened to Zhou Zhao's more suggestion, and he was not in a hurry, because he himself was not in a hurry.

In Guangdong to try out the new law, Zhu Houxi himself was indeed mentally prepared to observe for five years.

At the moment, there is nothing more than a new problem in the southeast.

Zhu Houxi gradually became more and more convinced that the killing of officials in the southeast was indeed not committed by the local gentry. Zhang Zilin's secret report is sent back every day, and the entire southeast is actually more uneasy and frightened now, and there is no sign of conspiracy.

Therefore, there is a high probability that someone wants to guide the local anxiety in the direction of the outbreak.

If we want to mess up first, some people outside the two Guangdong and southeast will have a chance.

The fire of the Nichisemen did not cause chaos in the center of the court, so it could only provoke chaos from the locality.

Or rather...... Zhu Houxi also thought of a possibility in his heart: Or some people just want to make Daming messy, because the Zhang brothers really don't have the ability and courage to achieve great things.

Revenge?

determined the direction, and Zhu Houxi began to write secret edicts to Zhang Zilin and Wang Zuo.

Since someone is playing a big game, the strategy in the southeast needs to be adjusted, and this game will have to be played for a long time.

At present, it will be in the name of investigating the case to collect more information in the southeast.

For example, who turned out Zhu Zhishan's "Wild Notes" and began to build momentum?

……

"Master Hou, the matter of Kangling's supervision has been checked clearly with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households."

In the Shouning Marquis's Mansion, Fang Muxian put a few account books on the desk in front of Zhang Heling, and said respectfully: "Those imperial villages, imperial stores, and official stores have also been settled with the household department. ”

Zhang Heling looked at him with some hesitation in his eyes.

In the days after his sister Empress Dowager Zhang did not succeed the emperor and drove Mao Cheng away on the spot when the emperor first looked at the court, the matter suggested by Fang Muxian cannot be mentioned at all now.

A few months passed, and the emperor didn't mention it again, but Zhang Heling wasn't sure if Fang Muxian's arrangement was clean or not.

Judging from the situation in the past twenty years, Fang Muxian is very capable and smart.

Before that, he also helped the Zhang Heling brothers continue to supervise the crucial Kangling project, and dealt with the ministers, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, and he could not get out of it.

Isn't that self-defeating?

Right now......

"Old Fang, what are your plans next?" Zhang Heling stared at him.

"Master Hou, please let go of 10,000 hearts." Fang Muxian replied calmly, "Now as long as you obey your orders, there will be no problems." If Master Hou doesn't believe it, he will give the next glass of wine at this moment. It is also common for people to get seriously ill when they are older. ”

Zhang Heling was a little unsure of what to do.

According to what he said that day, a fire in the Rijing Gate must be suspicious of the monarch and the ministers. If the emperor is angry and kills, not only will the courtiers and ministers be in danger, but he will also treat the queen mother harshly. In this way, morally, in people's hearts, the emperor will lose the initiative. After that, either rely on the Queen Mother to be willing to settle down, or there will be other changes.

only sacrificed the two eunuchs who had already entered the palace twenty years ago, and had been inseparable for many years.

I didn't expect the emperor to deal with it like that.

Zhang Heling didn't believe that the emperor didn't arrange someone to secretly investigate this matter, and he didn't believe that what Fang Muxian said would definitely not leave any clues.

This is a secret that only belongs to him and Fang Muxian, and even his sister and younger brother don't know.

What now?

Zhang Heling wanted to kill him like this, but he didn't know if it was possible for him to leave any behind.

Fang Muxian claimed to be below, and looked at Zhang Heling with a calm expression.

Although the posture is respectful, there is no fear in the eyes.

"Do you know that Your Majesty has made a decree, and the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion are selecting young sons from the clan, preparing to succeed to the first emperor and become a vassal king?"

"Since Your Majesty made a promise at that time, he had already planted the seeds of today." Fang Muxian was a little surprised, "Isn't it a delaying plan?" At the national policy meeting, the ministers did not dissuade? ”

Zhang Heling didn't understand: "What's the calculation?" ”

"The king is a vassal domain, the Empress Dowager Cishou and Empress Zhuangsu have titles, do they live in the vassal palace or still stay in the palace?" Fang Muxian pointed out the key, "If the Empress Dowager Cishou and Empress Zhuangsu live in the domain with the heirs of the first emperor, there will be a bloodline outside the capital that is different from the rest of the kings. If it is just an heir, how can Empress Zhuangsu be willing? How can the ministers not know about the hidden worries? ”

Zhang Heling vaguely understood: "You mean...... Your Majesty, is this a temptation? Luring the snake out of the hole? ”

Fang Muxian nodded: "Your Majesty wants to practice the new law, and there is a lot of unrest in the world. There are bandits and killers in the southeast, and His Majesty mentioned at this time that he was the heir of the first emperor and the king of the domain, and he really wanted to wait and see who in the world would collude with him, especially the royal mansion that offered his heirs. The princes of the same generation of the first emperor or the sons of the first emperor still have heirs, all of them are prosperous and prosperous clans. ”

Zhang Heling's heart suddenly chilled: The emperor's routine is too deep, and only people like Fang Muxian can see through it.

His tone trembled a little: "The courtiers did not persuade at the national policy meeting, that is to say...... They also agreed that the emperor would lead the snake out of the hole in order to suppress those with bad intentions? ”

"Since Your Majesty's reign, starting with Mao Cheng, and then Prince Liang, Wang Qiong, Chen Jin and other important ministers such as Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, can one person be convicted to death?" Fang Muxian sighed, "The Sun Spirit Gate has never fought after the fire, and the ministers are convinced that His Majesty is not a violent king, and the other is also well aware that this butcher's knife only cuts the important ministers who cross the line. And knowing that this plan is related to His Majesty's great legal system, who dares to cross the line? ”

"Then the Queen Mother, the Marquis of the Mansion, won't she live in fear every day in the future, and become the bait of the unsubordinate people from time to time?"

Fang Muxian laughed: "At that time, I persuaded the Hou Ye to make a statement to the Queen Mother, and at an extraordinary time, I will definitely elect a young son and heir to listen to the government." Now that the matter has come to this, it is becoming more and more passive. ”

Zhang Heling suddenly felt that he couldn't be killed so easily, after all, the situation would be more dangerous in the future and he would be needed more.

"How about that?" Zhang Heling asked eagerly, "For the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, but if there are any correspondents, they will report to Your Majesty?" ”

"Naturally, I want to report it. If the Hou Ye and the Queen Mother don't report it, won't the factory guards pay attention? Fang Muxian nodded affirmatively, "After that, you can't act as usual anymore, you need to be cautious and not get wrong." Master Hou, this is for your children and grandchildren! ”

Zhang Heling's expression was tangled.

Fang Muxian looked at him calmly.

From luxury to frugality, he is used to living a domineering life, can he really live a cautious life?

What about the children of the Zhang family? Can they all be restrained?

After all, there will be mistakes, and after being punished once or twice, he will eventually be unwilling and nostalgic for the past.

What's more, after the fire in Rijingmen, the Zhang family can't go back.

There are some things, he has to wait for Zhang Heling to figure it out and express his unfirm intentions before he can call on more financial resources and manpower from the Hou Mansion.

……

As Zhang Xuan, the eunuch in charge of the Qingning Palace, went south to the southeast, with the mission of pre-selecting ladies, he seemed to have suddenly eased the difficult atmosphere a lot.

Zhang Zilin's rhythm also slowed down, and after returning from Fujian, he focused on Caoyun.

Each province left a criminal department Langzhong to continue to investigate the case on his behalf.

In Guangdong, it was McFuck himself who pre-selected the lady.

"Your Majesty knows that the southeast is important." On the banks of the Qinhuai River, a well-informed person commented, "This matter is so strange, Your Majesty was furious for a while, and finally understood that it was provoked by thieves." The southeast can't be messed up! If the family is in danger, what about taxes? How is Caoyun? What about the Daming context? ”

"It seems that the queen of this dynasty is going to be chosen from the southeast." Another person deeply agreed, "The family with lofty ideals is unwilling, it depends on which family in the southeast has become a national relative in one fell swoop." ”

The girls of Qinhuaihe like to listen to this, not to mention the Xinjun draft.

Jumping into the world of the mother of the branch is a thing that is not at all for women like them, but it does not prevent them from gossiping.

"Childe, if you have the opportunity to enter the palace as a queen, why don't you want to?"

The soft words begged for help, which naturally made some drunken scholars feel very happy: "As a national relative, how can you still enter the court and show your ambitions as an official?" There are relatives in the country, how many can be passed on? Only Ketu is the avenue! Once a minister, three generations are on the clouds! ”

"Speaking of which, I heard that Wen Hengshan is preparing for the exam again, and next year will be the ninth hometown exam, right?" Another person teased with a smile in his eyes, "But someone is gambling, can Hengshan Jushi win this time?" ”

"Needless to say, the talents of Hengshan monks are lovely, but I am afraid that the fate will not be related to the science journey, and it will be difficult to succeed late. Judging from the talent, it is better to be a national ruler. In the past, the monks of Hengshan did not want to be the daughter of King Shangning, but now they can be the ruler of the country, which is also a beautiful talk. ”

They ridiculed Wen Zhengming like this, but the four people known as the "Four Talents of Wuzhong" all had a bumpy career.

Xu Zhenqing, who had been dead for ten years, had been an official in the middle of the jinshi, but he was not allowed to enter Hanlin just because of his ugly appearance, and was later demoted to Dr. Guozijian, and died of depression a year later, at the age of thirty-three.

What about Tang Yin? Although he once won the first place in the township test in the eyes of Liang Chuqing, he was demoted to an official when he tried a Xu Jingke case, and he has not been in the office since then.

Wen Zhengming is the same, not to mention that he will try, he has already failed eight tests in this level, and he is still a talent in his fifties.

As for Zhu Yunming? At the age of nineteen, he won the Xiucai, took the township examination five times before he was lifted, and then failed the seven times he would pass the examination, and now he is doing the county in Xingning, Guangdong.

He didn't know that the "Wild Notes" he wrote was targeted by the emperor.

Zhu Yunming, who has been working in Xingning, Huizhou for more than six years, is still afraid of the big storm in Liangguang before and is doing things cautiously.

The prefect of Huizhou has been taken away!

But no matter how careful he is, after Zhang Fujing, the killer on this day, came to Huizhou to inspect Xuezheng for a while, he still came to "visit" him, one of the four great talents in Wuzhong.

"From Xizhe to Ren Xingning, he visited the school palace in his spare time, entered the students, and explained the class. The south of the ridge, polite to the wind, this Xi Zhe's work. ”

Zhu Yunming hugged his fists and hid his "sixth finger" worriedly: "Don't dare to claim merit, it is natural to do what you do." ”

It was also failed in the seven attempts, but once the people were favored by the Son of Heaven, and now the governor is on the side.

And Zhu Yunming, who lost hope and was recommended to be the magistrate of the county by virtue of his identity and talent, is considered to be the least qualified group at the level of the magistrate, and the ceiling is visible.

He lowered his head, and looked at the "Son of Heaven Sword" hanging on Zhang Fujing's waist with horror out of the corner of his eyes.

Didn't you start to appease Guangdong recently, and didn't you wear this "sword" anymore when you traveled?

"Definitely. If there is no Xizhe to participate in the classics and Wenheng, and the two township examinations of Bingzi and Jimao, how can Xingning temporarily emerge and have many high school students? Xingning culture and education are really prosperous because of the public. ”

“…… Don't dare, don't dare. ”

Zhang Fujing smiled: "Xi Zhe is famous and knowledgeable, and Benfu has long been like thunder. Recently, I happened to get a volume of Xizhe's "Wild Notes", and I couldn't release the volume after reading it. It's just one of the interesting stories, but Fu Jing is quite puzzled, so he came to ask for advice. ”

Futai praised it, Yunming didn't dare to be. As mentioned many years ago, I can't get into the blue eyes of Taiwan. ”

Zhang Fujing smiled again, and then asked: "Xi Zhe said in "Ye Ji" that when Taizong was in trouble with Tianjing, he forced Fang Xiaoru to take care of the proposed move. 'Throw it away, the words are more powerful, and it can't be said to be the ears of my nine clans. Shangfu Yunwu Yiru Ten Clans, left and right to ask who clan? It is said that friends are also clansmen. 'Fu Jingcai is shallow in learning, dare to ask Xi Zhe, where did this anecdote come from? ”

Zhu Yunming suddenly felt like a thunderbolt from the sky, and his face turned pale and stammered: "Yunming was ...... back then It's just a joke. This volume of "Wild Notes" ...... He is only idle and drunk, and he writes in vain......"

"There are many jokes in the countryside, and Fu Jing also knows it." Zhang Fujing looked at him deeply, "The public is in Renzhi County, Guangdong, suppressing bandits, building water conservancy, and using culture and education with heart, and Yu Xingning is not useless." Does Ran Xizhe know? After His Majesty reigned to the extreme, this volume of "Wild Records" suddenly swept the south of the Yangtze River, and it was called the martyr of Fang Xiaoru. ”

Zhu Yunming's face was even paler, his legs were weak, and he couldn't help shaking: "Yunming...... I don't know...... The lower officials are guilty of vainly discussing the affairs of Taizong......"

Now he can't help but kneel, because Zhang Fujing really said it very clearly.

Zhang Fujing sighed: "For this reason, Fu Jing can't help it." Today's visit to Huizhou, Cha Xizhe has indeed made meritorious contributions in office, and Fu Jing will play impartially. It's just Xi Zhe, I'm afraid you have to think carefully about what to say about this debriefing in Beijing. ”

"Enter Beijing...... Debriefing? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty has heard of Xizhe's name, and has been in Xingning for six years, and His Majesty summoned Xizhe to Beijing. If there is virtue and talent after His Majesty's view, Xizhe should be of great use. Zhang Fujing looked at him meaningfully, "Outside the ministry, His Majesty personally examines the merits, and Xizhe is the only one." Departure in the near future, Xizhe can face the saint before the New Year's Day. Next year, Fu Jing hopes that Xizhe will rise to the top and return to Guangdong to show his ambitions. ”

Why did the emperor of all kinds of things hear the name of a small county?

If you don't let the officials test the merits, the emperor will personally ask?

Changing the ......

How many creations does Zhu Yunming have? The book he wrote ten years ago has long since ceased to hold him in his heart.

If he really knew so much about politics, how could he write about these things back then?

But these reasons need to be justified.

Will the emperor believe it?

Whether going to the capital will go straight to the clouds or hell, Zhu Yunming is completely uncertain.

In late winter, six official ships in Guangdong slowly sailed towards the capital, which was a very special fleet.

Four of them, with a deep draft, naturally carried heavy loads. There were also soldiers guarding the ship.

The other one has a faint aroma of fat powder.

On the last ship, in addition to Zhu Yunming, there were some other colleagues who went to Beijing to "report on their work".

Zhu Yunming has seen a few of them, all of whom are still on errands before "wearing sin". In the past few months, I heard that they are all working hard to make meritorious contributions.

After asking, it was recalled by the officials to return to Beijing for another purpose, but I don't know what kind of messenger it is.

Zhu Yunming didn't dare to say that he was going to be personally tested by the Son of Heaven.

Very scary, very cold.

Although the two "escorts" assigned to this ship to the north of the same ship smiled.
