Domineering Daming

Zhu Youjian also hated Wei Zhongxian, and said with a cold face: "Wei Zhongxian is the admiral and eunuch of Dongchang, you go to be the supervisor and eunuch, and find a way to hold Dongchang in your hands."

Wang Chengen understood Zhu Youjian's meaning, bowed and said, "Yes."

This can be regarded as the only happy thing for Zhu Youjian today. After talking about it, he exhaled and said: "Tomorrow, in the name of the cabinet, an edict will be sent to the provinces to recommend cabinet ministers, and there are six vacancies. position, you can also recommend it, and you can also recommend yourself."

"Yes." Wang Chengen said.

Chapter 515 Vladivostok

At night, Shenyang, Xinggong.

Zhu Xu flipped through the memorials from various places, especially a secret memorial from Jinyiwei in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Government and business collusion, want to run Huitong Commercial Bank."

In just eleven words, Zhu Xu frowned several times.

Who in the world does not know that Huitong Commercial Bank is owned by the emperor. This shows that after the government and business groups in Jiangnan lost control of the imperial court and local government affairs, their dissatisfaction with the imperial court had accumulated to a certain extent, and they were about to openly resist.

Zhu Xu picked it up, lit it and threw it into the brazier, squinting his eyes, tapping his fingers on the table, thoughtfully.

This time the cleaning is mainly aimed at some middle and high-level officials, and after the cleaning, it will be those magistrates and officials below.

But these people are the most extensive and most grassroots group of people in Ming Dynasty. Above them are the prefects, governors and other middle and high-level management. The beginning is often a county magistrate or the like.

If this class is moved, the backlash will have a greater impact than ever before!

And the latter is the matter of Tian Mu, which is what really shakes the foundation of Daming.If you want to stabilize, in addition to the army, you need the firm support of a group of parents who can stabilize the place!

"Political Yuan, don't let me down..." Zhu Xu whispered.The first batch of graduates from the Political Yuan will graduate this year, and there will be another batch of graduates every year in the future.

"Acre reform" was something he had planned for a long time, but Daming's current situation was very bad.

The fertile land is concentrated in the most fertile area in the south, and the people in this area control more than half of Ming's economy.Except for this area, the disaster situation in the southwest is like fire, and the north of the Yangtze River is not much better. Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places are also thousands of miles away, and there are many people who have no harvest.

On the one hand, the fertile land is concentrated in the hands of the wealthiest group of people, and on the other hand, most people except these people are now starved of food.

If the wealthiest group of people were moved, Daming would really be messed up if he was not careful!

Fortunately, Zhu Xu has done a lot in front of him, and the Southwest has been controlled, and nothing will happen in a short time, so he doesn't need to spend much energy. Liaodong will be fine for a while, and he can concentrate on implementing his innovation plan.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xu couldn't help but look up to the south, the direction of the capital.

This time, the middle and high-level officials were being cleaned up, and there were many impeachment records. However, as the emperor, Zhu Xu was always wise and powerful, and Zhu Youjian was the scapegoat.

"Brother Huang." Thinking of the word "black pot", Zhu Xu couldn't help but smile, and said: "It's not useless to take the blame for me. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will rejuvenate, and most of the credit for ZTE will be credited to you! The bigger the black pot , the greater the credit..."

Obviously, Zhu Youjian is still indispensable for the latter two reforms.

"emperor……"

Zhu Xu was thinking about it, and Sun Chengzong walked in excitedly, saluted briefly and said, "Yang Lin, Zhu Mei sent a message back, they found the mouth of the sea, and found some places that can be reclaimed. This is the map they drew."

Overjoyed, Zhu Xu quickly took it and spread it on the table.

The map is very simple, but Zhu Xu still saw the outline of Vladivostok and Sakhalin Island. He looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Well, the two of you did a good job! Master Sun, you can make arrangements for the navy to build a base there as soon as possible. We need to build a city as soon as possible, more attentively than Shenyang, to build a big city, with enough artillery and firearms, no shortage of food, grass, salaries and silver, with an army of [-] and a population of [-], I want to build another province here..."

Sun Chengzong listened, and vaguely felt that this was the emperor's eagerness to expand the territory, and it was part of the emperor's "martial arts". Naturally, he did not dare to neglect, and said: "Observe the order, the minister will definitely step up the arrangements."

Zhu Xu nodded, feeling overwhelmed, and couldn't help but look at the blank part of the sea, which was Japan. He squinted his eyes and said, "The navy should step up the drills for landing attacks, especially with the cooperation of artillery and firearms."

Zhu Xu turned the subject quickly, Sun Chengzong was startled, and immediately said: "Yes."

Zhu Xu stared at the map, and couldn't help but outline again with his fingers, from north to south, the current Mobei Mongolia, Monan, Junggar, Tibet, all the way to Southeast Asia, and then knocked on the peninsula - he will plan to go south.

Seeing that Zhu Xu hadn't spoken, Sun Chengzong murmured and said, "Your Majesty, have you heard about Zhou Shangshu and King Xin?"

Zhu Xu let out a "huh" without saying "yes" or "no".

What Zhou Yingqiu said was not taught by him, but it was indeed Zhou Yingqiu who figured out what was on his mind.

Now Daming needs to concentrate on promoting reforms, and Zhu Youjian cannot be allowed to continue to do small tricks inside. Besides, Zhu Xu needs Zhu Youjian!

There are two reasons for this. First, the subsequent touches are getting bigger and bigger. He needs someone who has enough weight and will be responsible for the reform after the completion of the reform. The "lawless" cannot be the court, let alone the emperor!

The second is that the chief assistant cannot be an outsider, and Zhu Xu cannot allow the party struggle to start again. Even if King Xin suddenly falls, he is prepared for King Jing, and there is absolutely no way he is an outsider!

Zhou Yingqiu guessed what Zhu Xu was thinking, so he hit Zhu Youjian on purpose.

Sun Chengzong didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, so he suggested, "Your Majesty, King Xin is a prince after all. If it wasn't for the late emperor's edict and the support of Donglin at that time, it would be impossible for him to be a regent. Now he has to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet. There are rumors everywhere. I think it's time for King Xin to become a vassal."

Now that the Ming Dynasty is gone, Fan Yi said that what Sun Chengzong meant was to let King Xin leave the palace and be an idle prince with peace of mind.

Zhu Youjian also stayed in Wenzhao Pavilion for nearly five years. There was no problem with his morality.

This person, from these aspects alone, is indeed a very good person. It is unreasonable to give a "gentleman" title, but as a superior person, his shortcomings are too obvious.

Narrow suspicion, mean and unkind, repeated actions, eager for quick success and so on.

Those around him will discover this in a short time.Around him, there was almost no one he could trust, and it kept changing like passing clouds.

Liu Shimin from the capital sent letters from time to time, and Zhu Xu also read a lot of them. They were all about the impeachment of Zhu Youjian, Lai Zongdao and others, and there were also supporters of Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu.

Now even Sun Chengzong, who has never been involved in party disputes, comes to speak. Is this the success of Zhu Xu's design, or the failure of Zhu Youjian's life?

Zhu Xu glanced at Sun Chengzong, smiled and said: "I have my own opinion on this matter. By the way, tomorrow you will go to North Korea in person. No, Mr. Yuan should go. You must loudly reprimand the North Koreans, and your tone must be severe, so that the North Koreans Sailor move again to frighten them."

When Sun Chengzong saw that Zhu Xu changed the subject, he knew that he had made up his mind, so he could only follow the conversation: "Yes, I will deliver the decree later."

Zhu Xu nodded, and said: "The land reclamation in Liaodong should be done quickly. After the spring of next year, more efforts should be made. If necessary, troops can be transferred in from the pass. We can't wait to resettle the victims."

Sun Chengzong said: "Yes, I plan to send domestic prisoners, beggars and the like to Liaodong forcibly..."

Zhu Xu's expression moved, and he said: "Not only that, but in this way, I will let the governors of the various places, as well as Dongchang, launch a nationwide campaign to crack down on criminals, such as local ruffians, rogue bullies, harming one side, and harming the village. Those who cannot be governed will be arrested together and sent to Liaodong..."

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly and said: "This is a way. After I return to Beijing, I will discuss it with King Xin."

Zhu Xu hummed, Sun Chengzong had followed him for a long time, he knew what he should do to King Xin and what he couldn't.

Seeing that Zhu Xu did not continue, Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Dare to ask the emperor, do you have any plans for the date of returning to Beijing?"

Zhu Xu's stay in Liaodong was basically to stabilize people's hearts, and by the way, he waited for the news from the north. Now that he has basically finished processing, he thought for a while and said: "In two days, by the way, we can draw up plans for the provinces to enter Beijing." Candidates have been selected. Let’s start next year. I will discuss with the ministers about the situation of the court and state affairs...Let the six ministries and the king of Xin be prepared. Don’t be too ugly when the time comes. Everyone in the world will be watching. ..."

Sun Chengzong looked solemn and said, "Observe the order."

This meeting will herald the direction of the Ming Dynasty, and it will also be a screening of the middle and high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty!

Yuan Keli received the order and wished he could set off immediately.
