Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Everything in the world is bustling because of profit, and everything in the world is bustling because of profit. The word profit makes many things in the world extremely complicated.

People are always so greedy and will never be satisfied.

Whatever you get, you want more.

There are too many people who are not strong-minded. After taking control of power, they will be corrupted and confused by power, which will lead to many injustices.

cabinet.

"Tell me everything."

Chief Assistant Gu Bingqian looked solemnly, looked around at the people gathered in the hall, and said in a low tone: "The Liao people who were resettled in the fields opened in Jingdong were in trouble, which led to the destruction of the crops planted this year. His Majesty was furious when he heard about this, and asked the cabinet to take it. Now that the charter is out, what do you think of this matter?"

After Gu Bingqian finished speaking, the second assistant Wei Guangwei, the group assistants Zhu Yanxi, Zhou Rupan, and Huang Liji were sitting with different expressions on their faces, but no one was in a hurry to say anything.

It's hard for him to talk about this.

Who can be elected to the cabinet, who is not a human spirit?

Not to mention that the current situation in the court is so turbulent. From the time the emperor fell into the water in Xiyuan to the present, so many things have happened in the court, in the capital, or in the capital.

Even when the Donglin Party was in power, it had never encountered such a situation.

You must know that the Donglin Party at that time, in order to realize the expectation of one-party dominance, fought with the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party and other factions, fought with the eunuchs of the inner court, and even brought the emperor with them. Too many things happened during this period, but even then, It didn’t say that it was like now, making people unable to see through it and making people fearful!

"Wei Cifu, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Bingqian frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and then looked at Wei Guang who was hanging high and said.

This is not a trivial matter. If everyone wants to act stupid and fool around, that's not possible!

Gu Bingqian can still recall that when Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, came to the cabinet to read the edict, his tone was stern enough to reveal the mood of the emperor who was deeply in the inner court.

"Yuan Fu's words are wrong."

Wei Guangwei lifted the sleeves of his robe and looked at Gu Bingqian leisurely, "You are the Yuanfu of the cabinet. Nowadays, when something like this happens in Jingdong, even if you want to make a decision, the Yuanfu should make the decision first. What can I say later? What do you think? Are you right? Mr. Huang Ge~"

When talking about this, Wei Guangwei looked at Huang Liji specifically.

You old fox!

Huang Liji was dissatisfied. Although the expression on his face did not change, he started to curse in his heart. He didn't think about him when good things happened, but now he took him with him when something happened.

"The crux of the problem now is...why was there chaos in Jingdong? Why didn't the local department report it before?" Although he thought so in his heart, Huang Liji said: "Also, the report submitted to the emperor, How much of it is true and how much of it is false is open to question."

"What Wei Cifu just said, this cabinet agrees with. Similarly, the status of the cabinet in the government is different. The more this situation is, the more stable the cabinet must be. If it is easy to make a decision on this matter, submit a vote to the emperor. If it is planned, if things are not as bad as expected, it will not only make His Majesty look down on the cabinet, but also make foreign ministers treat the cabinet lightly."

"That's true."

Zhou Rupan said at this moment: "What exactly caused the chaos in Jingdong? This matter must be investigated clearly. Why did everything go well and then chaos broke out?"

"What Mr. Zhou Ge means is that the Xiji Bureau conducted a thorough investigation of Shuntian Mansion Realm Imperial Mansion. There may be some hidden secrets in it?" Wei Guangwei raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhou Rupan and said.

"This pavilion has no such intention."

Zhou Rupan snorted coldly, glanced at Wei Guangwei and said, "Wei Cifu wanted to say between the lines, when the Xiji Service Factory was ordered to supervise this matter, did he do something that was outrageous and resentful?"

You old man!

Seeing that he failed to dig a hole, and was defeated by Zhou Rupan, Wei Guangwei's expression became unnatural.

This is difficult to handle.

Seeing this scene, Gu Bingqian sighed secretly in his heart. This is the cabinet. Although Ding Shaoshi was deposed by the emperor, the fight between them never stopped.

Regardless of the fact that in the outer dynasty, some people attributed him, Wei Guangwei, and Huang Liji to the eunuch order, but they did not deal with each other, and they even had very few interactions in private.

In the power arena of the central court, how can there be any true feelings? Even if they are both on good terms with Wei Zhongxian, their situations are different.

The cabinet wrangling continues.

The Qianqing Palace at that time.

The atmosphere seemed unusual.

"I never thought about asking the cabinet to make any decisions!"

Zhu Youxiao sat firmly on the throne, snorted coldly, and stared at Fang Zhenghua with sharp eyes, "Among the cabinet ministers in this term, only Zhu Yanxi has some integrity, like Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei, they are just politicians who adapt to the wind." That’s it!”

“I don’t want to talk about the past cabinet anymore, but in the future, if the cabinet tries to make peace with each other instead of trying to solve problems, then I will hold them accountable to the end!!”

Such a big thing happened in Gyeonggi Province, which was driving up food prices and causing chaos among the people of Liao. Even if Zhu Youxiao didn't have to guess, he could tell that someone must be behind it.

Such a counterattack was definitely not decided because of something, but because of long-term vested interests. A previous purge made some people unable to sit still, so they made the decision with a conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Fang Zhenghua hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Stop saying flattery."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "I specially promoted you to be the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor and the admiral of the East Jishi Factory. I didn't ask you to do these things."

"Get on with the business."

"Based on what we know so far, one thing is certain. The turmoil in Gyeonggi is mostly caused by the investigation of the Shuntian Mansion Imperial Mansion. This makes me think of a possibility."

"Perhaps the people behind the current push must be related to some of the things that were previously investigated. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Imperial Mansion to make them take such a desperate risk!"

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the Xiyuan drowning case?"

Fang Zhenghua thought of something, and the expression on his face became a little unnatural.

"I don't know. We won't know until we find out."

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Perhaps it is more likely that it is related to the gunpowder smuggling case. After all, they can facilitate all this. They have a lot of energy, and the things Cui Chengxiu has found since he took office as the Minister of Punishment, There’s no way to check it backwards.”

"What does the Emperor want the West Police Factory to do?"

Fang Zhenghua asked directly, the more special the situation, the more important it is to express one's attitude.

The Western Jishi Factory is the emperor's sword.

Where is the emperor pointing?

Wherever they are going to cut!

Even if the sky is filled with gods and Buddhas, there will be no hesitation at all!

"One is to secretly recruit factory officers, and the other is to ask Gao Shiming and others to suspend the investigation and instead secretly investigate corruption!"

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, stared at Fang Zhenghua and said: "The last thing to do is to keep an eye on the capital and Gyeonggi. If there are any disturbances, especially those related to food price fluctuations, they must be reported to the emperor no matter when. I really want to take a closer look at what new tricks these scoundrels hiding behind the scenes can come up with!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Fang Zhenghua immediately bowed and bowed.

"Also, we need to tighten up on that matter!" Zhu Youxiao leaned forward, stretched out his hand and said to Zhenghua: "If I want to defeat these slanderous people, I need some help!"

"My slave understands!"

Fang Zhenghua bowed again and said, "I will definitely implement it as soon as possible."

"Go down and do your work."

"Slave, please leave!"

Looking at Fang Zhenghua's leaving figure, a cold light flashed across Zhu Youxiao's eyes, and he clenched his hands tightly. If he wanted to truly control the central court, he could only rely on killing. It was easy for people to hold on to it. To convey the public opinion direction of indiscriminate killing to the outside world, the first is to attack the enemy with troops, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the third is to attack the city. Since he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he cannot be so superficial.

Even if it means killing, he must kill in an upright manner!

These people who deserve to be killed must be executed one by one with their reputations ruined. Only in this way can it have a deterrent effect, but this will extremely test Zhu Youxiao's wisdom and government! !

This is the first real challenge and test that Zhu Youxiao has faced since he decided to specialize in foreign affairs. If this matter is not handled well, then Zhu Youxiao will really become an angry tyrant in the future, rather than a leader. A feared tyrant, Zhu Youxiao wants to do the latter, not the former...
