Domineering Daming

Seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't speak, Sun Qian said again: "Father, Dongchang has sent people to watch Xinwang's mansion. As long as the emperor takes Yuan Chonghuan to prison, you will not be able to get rid of it!"

Sun Chengzong frowned, and just about to speak, the butler hurried in and said, "Master, Mr. Huo is here, and he is anxious to see you."

Sun Chengzong's face changed slightly, and he said fiercely: "Please."

Sun Qian's expression was dignified, and when Yuan Chonghuan quietly entered the capital and the emperor was suspicious, any disturbance should not be underestimated.

Huo Weihua is the servant of the Ministry of War, a person trusted by Sun Chengzong. He is wide and fat, but he walked in with cold sweat, holding the imperial decree, and said: "My lord, there is an order from the palace to allocate millions of taels of internal money. Qin Liangyu was prime minister of the military affairs of the four southwestern provinces, Sun Chuanting took the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others recruited troops from various places, dialed 200 million yuan in Liaodong, and ordered the Ministry of War to keep it strictly confidential and not to spread it to the outside world. The order has just been sent to the Ministry of War..."

Sun Chengzong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't know Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others very well, but Qin Liangyu made great achievements in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and suppressed countless rebellions. It was correct to order her to be the prime minister of the military affairs of the four provinces.

Sun Chengzong took the imperial decree, read it carefully, smiled on his face, looked at Sun Qian and said: "Don't worry, the emperor has already made plans in his heart. The matter of Yuan Chonghuan is nothing to worry about."

Sun Qian was naturally trustworthy to his father, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said, "Well, then I'll go and watch and see what Yuan Chonghuan wants to do."

Sun Chengzong nodded, Yuan Chonghuan didn't come to see him, but he had to know what he wanted to do when he came to Beijing.

Huo Weihua was startled, and said, "My lord, Yuan Chonghuan? What's the matter?"

Sun Chengzong couldn't hide it either, so he said it simply.

Huo Weihua suddenly had cold sweat on both sides of his face, his eyes opened wide and he said: "My lord, this is not a small matter, the emperor knows about it, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe!"

Sun Chengzong looked at Huo Weihua, sat there and poured a glass of water, smiled and said: "Master Huo, sit down and drink some water. Our new emperor, although we can't see any great talents, but our vision is definitely far beyond that of Emperor Shenzong , don't worry."

However, Huo Weihua smiled wryly and said: "My lord, this is not a matter of foresight. Once the emperor becomes suspicious, I'm afraid that you and I will be remembered by the emperor in the future. Do you still have less things to settle accounts after the autumn? The emperor has not officially enthroned, After ascending the throne, can you still think so easily?"

Sun Chengzong's eyes moved slightly, and he waved his hands and said: "Master Huo, you and I are devoted to the country, and we will not be in vain or indulgence. Even if we don't die well in the future, we can feel at ease and have no regrets."

Huo Weihua looked at Sun Chengzong, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "Since your lord thinks so, then I have nothing to say. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, I will arrange it. However, the Ministry of War now only has me as a servant. There will be Shangshu, Zuo Shilang coming?"

Sun Chengzong listened to Huo Weihua's words, his heart moved, and he returned the imperial decree to Huo Weihua and said: "Shang Shu, Minister, all of them are in it."

Huo Weihua quickly understood, but shook his head and said: "My lord, Qin Liangyu is a woman, so it is impossible for her to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Others have too little qualifications."

Sun Chengzong got rid of his heart disease, stood up with a relaxed smile and said: "Then wait. Well, I know everything about the imperial decree, and I still have to enter the palace. You can arrange it at ease."

Huo Weihua looked at Sun Chengzong with a helpless look on his face. He thought to himself, although he is the right servant of the Ministry of War, he does not actually have much power. Most of it is in the hands of Sun Chengzong. will be too big.

Palace, in the back garden.

Zhu Xu took the fish food and threw it in casually.

In early spring, there were still few fish, and it was interesting to swim back and forth chasing Zhu Xu's hand in groups of three or four.

Fu Changzong had already arrived, stood beside him, looked at Youyu and said: "This year's spring plowing, I have ordered all places to plant sweet potatoes and corn, but judging from the books from various places, the effect is not very great."

This Zhu Xu had expected that thousands of years of tradition would not be so easy to change, so he said casually while throwing fish food: "I will pass an order to plant sweet potatoes and corn on the royal land, and then the price of food will be suppressed. The Ministry of Households will go back to purchase again, and after a year or two, there will be more planted."

Fu Changzong nodded, and now he could only do this. Standing there, he glanced at Zhu Xu who had a happy face, and said, "The document of Qingzhang Dimu has already been sent out, but... it is like a mud cow entering the sea, without any response."

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "It's not surprising at all. You and Zhou Yingqiu, or Gu Bingqian, Yang Lian, even King Xin couldn't do this matter. There is only one person who can do it."

Fu Changzong was stunned, he thought about the ruling and opposition parties in his heart, but he didn't think of it in the end, he asked in doubt, "Who is this person?"

Measuring the world's acres of land has been extremely difficult in all dynasties, because real estate is the most important asset in this era, and it is naturally in the pocket of the ruling class. Anyone who wants to move will face the opposition of the whole world!

It is not impossible that the Ming Dynasty could do it. Fifty years ago, there was a fierce man who did it——Zhang Juzheng!

However, as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, his actions were completely denied, and he was even killed by the coffin, which shows how terrible the power of the rebound is.

"It's not the time yet." Zhu Xu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Now that the preparations are done and the bottom line is done, it will be easier to do it when the time comes. The Ministry of Household Affairs will still make a plan this year. Once the situation is ripe, don't be in a hurry."

Knowing what Zhu Xu meant, Fu Changzong looked at him and said, "Well, the Ministry of Officials is also working on a new assessment system. I'm afraid the court will have another toss."

Zhu Xu also raised his head and said: "Governing the country first governs the officials, and governing a big country is like cooking small fish. Don't rush when it's time for a small fire, and don't hesitate when it's time for strong medicine. The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households are the same, and the preparations should be done first. .Start with the small officials first, so the resistance will be less."

While the two were talking, a servant came hurriedly not far away, and bowed from a distance: "Qizou Emperor, His Royal Highness King Xin and Lord Yuan Chonghuan are asking to see you."

Zhu Xu smiled, looked at Fu Changzong and said, "Uncle, someone is going to bully me again."

Fu Changzong also smiled on his serious face. With Zhu Xu's mind, anyone who underestimated it would be in trouble. He bowed slightly and said, "The minister will leave."

"Wait." Zhu Xu stopped him for a while, and said in a deep thought: "Uncle, tell me, it is feasible to classify Dali Temples and set up Dali Temples in each provincial government to specialize in cases."

Fu Changzong's expression was calm when he heard the words, but his brows were wrinkled. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu, and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you want the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to be located in the provincial capital?"

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "I can't hide it from Uncle, do you think it's possible?"

Chapter 207

Fu Changzong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not feasible. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment may be willing, but the provincial governments will definitely oppose it."

One is power expansion and the other is power reduction. Naturally, there is approval and opposition.

Zhu Xu nodded. He couldn't arouse local opposition yet, so he had to take his time, and there was no rush.

He turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "The King of Chuanxin and Yuan Chonghuan."

Fu Changzong bowed slightly and left from another direction.

King Xin was dressed in royal clothes, leading Yuan Chonghuan in court clothes, and slowly appeared in Zhu Xu's field of vision.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the scenery on both sides of the pavilion, and looked at the little emperor with his back to them from a distance. His face was calm, but he shook his head slightly in his heart. He glanced at King Xin beside him, feeling a little confident.

The two came over and bowed to Zhu Xu, who was sitting on the wicker chair, who was still enjoying throwing fish and food: "My minister Zhu Youjian (Yuan Chonghuan) pays homage to the emperor!"

"Get up." Zhu Xu said without turning his head, "What's the matter, Brother Huang?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu's back, his expression unchanged, and said, "Back to the emperor, Governor of Liaodong Yuan Chonghuan, Mr. Yuan, has come to Beijing and has something important to meet with you."

Zhu Xu looked at the fish in the water, the colorful colors were quite attractive, and he said casually: "Even though the emperor is in charge, I will support you."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhu Xu and listened to his words. Undoubtedly, the little emperor was a naughty boy. Thinking of the rumors outside the palace, he looked at Zhu Youjian more respectfully.

Zhu Xu nodded dispensably, and said, "Tell me."

Yuan Chonghuan took a step forward, Zhezi raised it above his head and said: "My minister, Yuan Chonghuan, please invite the emperor. The bandit chieftains in Liaodong have not yet become a climate. I have a five-year plan to calm Liaodong. I hope the emperor will learn from you!"

Cao Huachun's expression was startled. Although there were many people in the court clamoring to exterminate Jiannu, but such a direct statement of the Ping-Liao time in front of the emperor had never appeared before with a military order!

Zhu Xu was not surprised at all, the time was only a year earlier, it can be seen that such thoughts had already been in Yuan Chonghuan's heart.Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of the optimistic and confident mentality of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

The corner of Zhu Xu's mouth curled up into a smile, sprinkled fish food, and said slowly: "Yuan Chonghuan, did you leave Liaodong privately without obeying the edict, was it the emperor's brother's order for you?"

As soon as Zhu Xu finished speaking, the expressions of Zhu Youjian and Yuan Chonghuan changed at the same time.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu's back, and said with a condensed expression: "Your Majesty..."
