Chapter 218: All the way north

"Northeast and Northwest ......"

Zhu Zaili's mouth kept muttering these four words.

Although this picture is a little rougher, Zhu Zaili knows that this picture is enough to fit the Ming civil and military officials, and even everyone in the Ming Dynasty.

"Great talent...... Unheard of. ”

Ning Jue looked at Zhu Zaili and shook his head and said: "This is not a great talent, this is called mathematics, and there are people studying in many academies in Jinling, compared to them, I am a pediatrician." ”

Zhu Zaili immediately picked up the pen on the table and lit it on the table again.

"Since then, the situation between the DPRK and China has become much clearer."

"Ning Shi and Gu, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Gao are all members of the Northeast Party, and Father Huang, Mai Fu, and Lu Bing are the ...... of the Southeast Party?"

Ning Jue shook his head and said with a smile: "It's barely the Southeast Party, but compared to Mr. Song Xue, it's still a little northerly." ”

"Then Zou Wang, Hua Linxiang, these businessmen are the Northwest Party."

Zhu Zaili frowned and said: "In this way, I am more powerful than the Southeast Party. ”

"Is it really the Southeast Party Congress?"

"How not? Father, all the gentlemen in the court, ......" Zhu Zaili's voice stopped abruptly, and only then did he understand what Ning Jue meant: "The people of Jiangnan are turning to the southwest. ”

"Is it just Jiangnan?"

"Not only Jiangnan, but also two capitals and thirteen provinces."

"When all the people of the Ming Dynasty are focused on the southwest, it will be the day when the country will die, and the chaos in the world will be in front of you." Ning Jue gritted his teeth and continued in a low voice: "No matter what is the thing, the people are born to the north, but it is because of the dispute between the east and the west in the court that the hearts of the people of the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are tossed to the southwest. ”

Zhu Zaili bowed his head towards Ning Jue and said: "The students have been taught, and the top priority of the Ming Dynasty is to seek the north first, and then fight for the east and west." ”

Zhu Xizhong, who was standing behind Zhu Zaili, raised his head in some astonishment.

"What, southeast, northwest? I am from Dingyuan, so I should be the middleman...... It's not right, His Royal Highness is also from Fengyang, so we should all be in the middle. ”

Zhu Zaili glanced at Zhu Xizhong again and again.

"Please ask Chenggong to take care of Master Ning, I will find a way to play for my father and emperor in the matter of the case."

"Hey, send your highness."

Zhu Xizhong sent Zhu Zaili out of Dali Temple with a stunned face, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he finally had a little smile on his face.

"Brother Xian, your hand is really amazing, just such a piece of paper drew a picture, and His Highness actually saluted directly."

Although Zhu Xizhong had already felt that Zhu Zaili wanted to Bao Ningjue before, Zhu Zaili could come to Dali Temple in person to express his attitude, and Zhu Xizhong never expected it.

"You help me close the door from the outside first."

"Hey."

There was a "bang", and Zhu Xizhong disappeared from Ning Jue's sight.

Only Ning Jue lay on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed.

This picture, I'm afraid it's even more sensitive than "Zizhi Tongjian", and it can only be a secret that the emperor does not pass on.

But anyone who can understand this picture will be able to take a seat right away at a glance.

If everyone really has friends, the emperor will become a stand-in.

Jiajing's first reaction when he saw this piece of paper was that if he didn't kill himself, then he wouldn't be Jiajing.

——

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Zaili had already made up his mind.

The people's hearts are oriented to the north is the desire of the people, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River can only turn to the southwest, and the dispute in the court is not the dispute between the north and the south, but the dispute between the east and the west.

An originally vague road gradually became clear in front of Zhu Zaili's eyes.

"Feng Bao."

"The slave is here."

"First send someone to summon Gonggong Mai, Zhang Butang, as well as Lu Dudu, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Zhang into the palace."

"Whoa."

When Zhu Zaili entered the palace, the five people were already waiting in the palace.

"The five of you don't have to salute, Zhang Butang, how many are there at the Jinling Sailor Wharf right now?"

Zhang Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Your Highness, there are twenty-seven places in the Jiangnan Navy Wharf, ten of which have been abandoned for a long time and cannot be moored and need to be repaired, seven of which are barely usable, and the rest are acceptable." ”

"If it needs to be repaired, immediately send someone to repair it, and if it can be used, it will be directly allocated to the civilian population, and the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River will be restored first."

Zhang Wei was stunned when he heard this.

"But Your Highness ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Wei to speak, Zhu Zaili raised his hand and interrupted: "What Zhang Butang wants to say is only known, the top priority is to relieve the people from hanging upside down, and they can only act cheaply. ”

Most of the new ships built by the sailors have not yet been launched, and they are nothing more than a few dilapidated old ships.

The master who sank directly was not very distressed.

Many things come together into one, and the final result is actually a choice between the two, and Ning Jue's words just helped Zhu Zaili make up his mind.

Zhu Zaili has already let himself out, and he would rather give his father's internal money to the household department, and he will continue to change this law.

"Grandpa Mai, do you know what Gu wants to say?"

McFuy looked at Zhu Zaili with a bitter face and asked, "The minister is stupid." ”

"That Gu clearly told Mai Gonggong that he would use the Nanjing Treasury to double the number of wharves in Jiangnan to meet the needs of the people."

"But Your Highness, once this pier is repaired, it will be repaired and expanded every year in the future."

"Father-in-law Mai will go and act, and the rest will wait for the official letter from the cabinet department."

After speaking, Zhu Zaili looked at Lu Bing.

Lu Bing has already given up his hand to receive the fate.

"Governor Lu went to the Five Military Mansions to lead the relief work in Jiangnan, let the people eat porridge first, and suppress the chaos of the people in Jiangnan first,"

"Whoa."

Zhu Zaili took a deep breath, and then looked at the people in front of him: "The dispute between the east and west of the temple should not hinder the country from going north, alone in the south of the Yangtze River, and practicing the new law alone, just to make the country go north." ”

"As for whether Daming is east or west, we have to wait until I return to Beijing."

Although everyone didn't know the specific meaning of Zhu Zaili, they could probably understand it after listening to it.

"Your Highness, the blessing of the people."

"Let's all go on errands."

Of the people who left Qingning Palace, only Mai Fu grabbed Lu Bing as if he had lost his soul.

"Governor Lu, our family understands what it means today...... Alas. ”

"Father Jun has worked hard for thirty years, and only then has he saved a little silver taels in the treasury, which is ...... Alas. ”

Lu Bing smiled helplessly and said: "Father-in-law Mai, let's go on an errand first, the sky and the earth are big, and the emperor has the biggest difference, if you can suppress this matter, you and I will go down in history in the future." ”

McFuy sighed, and then left Qingning Palace dejectedly.

Porridge sheds were erected in the streets and alleys of Jinling, and a batch of wharves of the sailor division were also handed over to merchants, and the originally silted waterways resumed operation.

Although the civil unrest has not yet completely subsided, it has calmed down compared to before.

It's just that all the officials in Jiangnan know that the thunder that caused the chaos in Jiangnan has not been dismantled, but it was cut by Zhu Zaili and kicked the ball back to the court.

If the winner of this east-west battle cannot be determined as soon as possible, the thunder hidden in Jiangnan will explode again sooner or later.

——

West Garden.

Zhang Zuo walked into the palace with a stack of notebooks as usual.

"Emperor, the recitals of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the north and south have been roughly sorted out, except for the prince's ministers and ministers, a total of fifteen people who support the new law, and the recitals of the county officials have also been sorted out properly."

"The eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, all of them are the head of the monarch's father and the horse, and the rest of the provinces, states and counties are roughly different, and the two provinces of Huguang and Sichuan have the most supporters of the new law."

Jiajing didn't make a sound, and Zhang Zuo immediately continued: "If there is a change in the court...... Jinyiwei and Dongchang have joined forces, and the hidden dangers can be eliminated in a maximum of three months. ”

"Okay." Hearing Zhang Zuo say this, Jiajing spoke.

"The new law of the imperial court, as far as Si is concerned, I have also made mistakes, how are the preparations on the side of the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of England?"

Only then did Huang Jin speak: "The nine sides have been roughly rectified, and Yangzhou, Jinan, and Baoding have each formed a new army in one town, which can ensure that the world is safe." ”

"The money and grain hoarded by the household department can supply 200,000 troops for three years."

Since he noticed that Jiangnan was borrowing money on a large scale, Jiajing had already ordered the Fifth Military Government to speed up the progress of reorganizing troops and horses, and at the same time hoarded grain and ordnance, just in case.

"Kill people, kill people, attack them, stop the war with war, and ...... even if you fight"

Before Jiajing could finish speaking, Gao Zhong, who didn't know each other, poked his head over.

"Emperor, Nanjing is eight hundred miles in an emergency, and there are changes in the south of the Yangtze River."

Jiajing stiffened his neck and said leisurely: "After all, the prince scattered the money I worked so hard to save?" ”

"Please also ask the emperor to take a look."

As soon as Jiajing unfolded the recital, a piece of manuscript paper was revealed.

"What is this?" Jiajing spread out the manuscript paper and looked at Zhu Zaili's transcript again.

"That's not right...... Huang Jin. ”

"The minister is here."

"Proposed decree, Prince Zhao returned to Beijing in the north, Ning Ke finally issued an edict to prison, and sent a secret decree to Lu Bing, Ning Ke finally couldn't leave a single word of paper in prison."

Gao Zhong lowered his head and asked, "Emperor, ...... these docks lent by the prince?" ”

"The prince borrowed it, and the flowers were spent, these are not important, teach the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River to immediately go down to measure the acres of land, and if the grain field is changed to cotton without permission, order it to change it back within a time limit."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiajing spoke: "Inform the cabinet and the prefectures and counties of the world to whip the law this year, suspend it for half a year, and deliver grain as before." ”

Huang Jin immediately bowed his head and said, "The minister understands." ”

Everything that happened in Jiangnan has already made Jiajing, as the Son of Heaven, smell the danger signal.

Jiajing originally wanted to use businessmen to balance the scholars.

Changes come and go, and now the sergeants are fighting as Jiajing thought, that is, they are fighting and quickly skipping the emperor, and if they continue to change like this, I am afraid that they will give the Zhu family's country to the scholars and merchants.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Jiajing.

Thinking of this, Jiajing's determination became more and more firm.

It doesn't matter if you laugh through the ages, and it doesn't matter if you are faint.

The faint king, after all, is the king, which is light and which is heavy, Jiajing can still tell the difference.

"The prince and Ning Ke have been in Jiangnan for so long, and they should have made enough trouble, only caring about a corner of Jiangnan, and they are about to forget about Kyushu Wanfang and the ancestors."

For the monarch, don't say that handing over the authority means that the public account and the private account are clearly separated, and the king and the court are separated, and they will not be willing.

Unless forced to do so.

Obviously, Jiajing is not among them.

This should be a little more obvious than using a one-dimensional left and right line
