Domineering Daming

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhu Xu carefully, and said, "I want to recommend some people."

Zhu Xu said, "Say."

Wei Zhongxian became more and more cautious, and said: "Your Majesty, the servant girl suggested that a town governor be set up in Yingtian, Tian Ergeng be the town governor, and Li Kuilong be the right counselor of Jiangsu Province and in charge of the prison. In addition, the minister recommended Wu Chunfu as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Cao Qincheng as the governor. The imperial envoy went south to respond to the sky."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, and a smile flickered on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "What do you think, Brother Huang?"

Zhu Youjian was about to refuse instinctively, but the undisguised warning in Zhu Xu's eyes made him tremble, the corners of his mouth moved, and he said after a long time: "I think... yes."

For the last word "ke", Zhu Youjian almost exhausted all his strength.

He is very clear about the consequences of this sentence.

The Eunuchs are back!

Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Wei Zhongxian is an eunuch, and the recommendation of officials has to come from the emperor, who wrote a memorial to me. Well, Wei Zhongxian has made great contributions to the conspiracy of King Fu. Wait."

The guess in Wei Zhongxian's heart was confirmed, and he knelt down with a plop: "My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness! This servant was reckless and ignorant in the past, and now I am willing to die for the emperor and go through fire and water for me!"

Chapter 364 Banning the Fan Family

The imperial edict issued by the Supervisor of Rituals was issued very quickly, causing a huge shock in the capital.

Qingliu, especially the Donglin Party, knows who Wei Zhongxian is.

Although almost all the Donglin Party has been cleared out of the court, and Yang Lian is the only high-ranking official, there are countless people in the opposition, from the capital to the localities, inside and outside the customs, in the military and political circles, everywhere!

They think they are "righteous", except for Donglin, they are all "evil". They cannot tolerate the "evil party" occupying the court again, and they cannot tolerate them gaining power!

When they knew that it was recommended by King Xin, plus they had threatened King Zong before, they were charged with various crimes, Qingliu all went crazy.

A series of impeachment memorials, like snowflakes all over the sky, poured in and out of the capital.

Wen Zhaoge was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and Zhu Youjian's reputation as a "virtuous king" also plummeted.

In the Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Youjian, a group of cabinet members, and Wen Tiren all looked dignified and remained silent for a long time.

Before Wenzhao Pavilion was still full of enthusiasm, as if the time had come to seize power and restrain the emperor, but today, the emperor only made two moves, and knocked King Xin from the sky to the ground. Countless feet stepped on it, wanting to turn over, It is tantamount to ascending to the sky.

Qian Longxi, as the No. 1 under the king of Wenzhao Pavilion, looked around, coughed, and said to Zhu Youjian: "My lord, now, I can only talk to Yang Dahong openly and honestly."

"No!" Shi Fenglai hurriedly said: "My lord, absolutely not! If the emperor finds out, it will be a catastrophe!"

Hearing the word "catastrophe", everyone was shocked.There are too many things that can be associated with these two words.

Zhu Youjian also looked gloomy, and sat there without speaking.

Zhou Yanru glanced at Wen Tiren, who had been silent all this time, and said to Zhu Youjian, "My lord, you can't just sit and wait for death. Donglin must find a way."

Everyone here is silent, Xinwang's position is very awkward, with the emperor on top and the six ministries below, he is completely constrained, if he loses the support of the Donglin Party, Wenzhao Pavilion will really be isolated and helpless, dispensable.

Zhu Youjian understood his situation best. He needed the Donglin Party before, and now he needs it even more.

Zhou Yanru's words were as if he didn't say anything, Zhu Youjian looked around too much, and fell on Wen Tiren's face, with a glimmer of hope in his heart, he said: "Wen Qing, what do you think the king should do now?"

Wen Tiren also couldn't see what Zhu Xu wanted to do. Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, he bowed slightly and was about to speak when Liu Shimin walked in from the outside.

Zhu Youjian's heart trembled, and he hurried over, and the rest of the people also became nervous.

Liu Shimin opened the imperial decree, looked at Wang Xin and said, "The king accepts the decree."

King Xin and the others were startled, then quickly knelt down and looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"Follow the sky..."

As Liu Shimin read each word, the expressions of Xin Wang and others changed.

Zhu Xu's imperial decree is to let Wen Zhaoge take charge of this year's imperial examination!

Zhu Youjian knelt there, his uneasy heart was slightly relieved.

The same is true for Qian Longxi and others. No matter what, the emperor still needs Wenzhao Pavilion after all, and he didn't want to kill him with a stick.

After Liu Shimin finished reading, he walked over with a smile and said, "My lord."

Zhu Youjian stood up, with a stiff smile on his face, and said, "Please trouble my father-in-law."

Liu Shimin looked at Zhu Youjian, but didn't leave immediately. Looking at Zhu Youjian, he leaned closer and said in a low voice, "My lord, there is no way out."

Zhu Youjian's expression moved slightly, and before he could speak, Liu Shimin had already turned and left.

Zhu Youjian looked at his back, thinking about the meaning of his words.

Qian Longxi and the others were overjoyed, and they came over and said, "My lord, with the right to take the imperial examination, it will be easier for Donglin to speak."

The power of the imperial examination far exceeds the power of the Jingcha, involving the entire Ming Dynasty, and the room for its operation is unimaginably large, and no one can refuse it, especially the Donglin Party!

Zhou Yanru also beamed with joy, and said: "Your Majesty, now you can call the Ministry of Officials and Minister of Rites to discuss related matters."

Zhu Youjian took a breath, walked back, and sat on the main seat.

Wen Tiren sat there, silent.

The emperor has become more and more proficient in using the method of one big stick and one sweet date. It's not that people here don't know it, but they don't want to mention it.

In the imperial study room, a middle-aged man over forty looked at Zhu Xu with a rather nervous expression.

Zhu Xu sized him up and said with a smile, "Have you received the order?"

King Jing Zhu Luhu raised his hand and said, "I...received it."

"En." Zhu Xu put down the notebook in his hand, raised his head, and said, "Tell me, what do you plan to do when you go to Jiangsu this time?"

Zhu Luhu had already thought about it before entering the palace, and said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, Governor of Jiangsu Huang Liji, Lord Huang, Governor Fu, and Duke Wei. When I arrive in Yingtian, I will humbly ask for advice."

Zhu Xu was noncommittal and said, "How about the specific method?"

Zhu Luhu glanced at Zhu Xu, and carefully said: "Use both soothing and comforting."

Zhu Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Well, you are the imperial envoy for this trip, and I will give you a Shangfang sword, you can cut it first and then play it!"

Zhu Luhu didn't expect the emperor to be so eloquent, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's grace!"

This Prince Jing was only on the surface, and the most important thing was to rely on the eunuchs. Zhu Xu didn't say much, and after a few confessions, he sent this Prince Jing away.

"Your Majesty." Cao Huachun hurried in from the outside.

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
