Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

In fact, Gu Bingqian was deposed from the position of First Assistant, and Wei Guangwei was deposed from the position of Second Assistant. Both of them were arrested and sent to the Da Neihang Factory. Their residences in Beijing were searched, and all their relatives were arrested. The Da Neihang Factory even sent a group of factory workers to leave the capital. Going to their respective places of origin to arrest their relatives would indeed cause an uproar in the DPRK and Beijing.

However, the emperor arbitrarily appointed new cabinet ministers without being selected by the court, and the number was increased to nine unprecedentedly. The key is that he also set up a special Council for Integrity, which shocked many people.

The situation became tense instantly.

"Looking at it from a distance, the emperor has really changed!"

In a teahouse in the capital, in the bustling main hall, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes held a cup of new tea and said with emotion.

"Look at this battle. The first and second assistants, who had won the trust of Duke Wei, were dismissed as soon as they were told. The key point is that they were arrested and imprisoned in Da Nai Xing Factory. If you say there is no deep meaning behind this, who will believe it? .”

One sentence attracted the attention of countless people in the hall.

"Fourth Master, have you discovered something?"

"What do you have in mind?"

"This thing is really weird. Not only were the first and second assistants given, but the key is the new cabinet ministers. His Majesty appointed nine ministers without even being recommended."

"Who knows? Besides, along with the new cabinet, the emperor also set up the Institute of Integrity and appointed the original cabinet group assistant Zhou Rupan to take office. Who doesn't know Zhou Rupan's character? He always hates evil as much as he hates it."

The tea guests sitting in the main hall were talking to each other, while at the table near the window in the main hall, two young men looked at each other with different expressions.

"You guys are talking about this one by one, what should I say in reply?"

On the other hand, the middle-aged man was neither impatient nor impatient. He took the lid of the cup and skimmed the foam from the tea leaves. He glanced at the people sitting at the next table, replied casually, and took a sip of tea.

"Fourth Master, you can say whatever you want, I'll just listen."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar smiled and said to the middle-aged man, "I've been asking around the capital. Who doesn't know that the fourth master is well-informed, right?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"You say!"

The middle-aged scholar's words aroused the echo of many tea drinkers.

The man who is called Fourth Master is a businessman who has lived in the capital for several generations. He runs a pawn shop in Beijing. His surname is Liu and he is a trader at home, so he is called Fourth Master.

"Then tell me?"

Fourth Master Liu said with a smile.

"Just say it."

"I want to hear it."

"Second servant, quickly serve Fourth Master a pot of Longjing and charge it to my account!"

"Got it!"

Seeing the many tea guests in the hall, all paying attention to him, Mr. Liu smiled even more on his face. He liked this feeling best.

"Cough cough~"

Fourth Master Liu put down the teacup, coughed twice, then stretched out his hand and said to everyone: "Actually, what you should be paying attention to right now is not what the emperor has done, but the reactions of those who are officials in the court. "

"You always talk about castration..."

One person couldn't bear his temper and said something subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, he was stared at by several people. There are some things you just know in your heart, but don't say them out loud.

The man also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately lowered his head.

"Logically speaking, when the chief minister and second minister of the dynasty are dismissed and arrested, some people will kneel down and remonstrate, in order to ask the emperor to take back their orders."

Fourth Master Liu continued: "But have you noticed that since this incident happened, no one at Meridian Gate has knelt down to remonstrate? Don't you think it's strange?"

"Really, isn't that the group of officials and censors who have always liked to do this kind of thing? Even if it is not for Gu Bingqian and the others, there will still be people who are willing to take risks."

"But pull it down, who dares to kneel down to remonstrate? In the past few months, no one has knelt down to remonstrate, but the result? Either they were dismissed, or they were arrested, and some were even executed. Bo Ming will be there again. It’s important, but it’s not as important as life.”

"But having said that, Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei's popularity is really bad. No one is willing to stand up for them and seek justice."

"You're right to the point."

After hearing what he wanted to hear, Fourth Master Liu stretched out his hand and said, "The popularity difference between Gu and Wei is on the one hand, but through this situation, the truth is revealed."

When talking about this, Mr. Liu deliberately paused.

Looking at the people with their heads stretched out, the corners of Mr. Liu's mouth raised slightly.

"Please tell me quickly."

"That's right."

Seeing that many people were anxious, Mr. Liu lifted up his robe sleeves and said leisurely: "Those are the people who have joined Wei Changgong's sect. In fact, they don't have any sympathy with each other. They are gathered for profit, so it is bound to happen." It will be dispersed due to profit.”

"According to what I know, after this incident, many people in the court gathered together in private. It is unknown what they talked about, but they gathered separately. What does this mean?"

"The face and the heart are not in harmony!!"

One person became excited, patted his thigh and said to Master Liu.

"good!!"

Liu Siye smiled and said: "With this premise, if you think about what the emperor did before, can you guess anything?"

really.

The masters are among the people.

On the tea table by the window, Zhu Youxiao shook his head with a smile, put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at the beaming Fourth Master Liu, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

"Mysterious."

Zhu Youjian, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said, "How can they discuss matters between the DPRK and China in such a reckless way?"

Zhu Youjian was dissatisfied and couldn't stand the behavior of Fourth Master Liu and the others.

As a common people, just do what you are supposed to do, and it is sinful to make arrogant comments about government affairs!

"You can't say that."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Others can discuss it, why can't they discuss it? What's more, the people below show concern about some matters in the court, which actually explains something about the situation."

"Emperor..."

When Zhu Youjian heard this, his eyebrows were a bit surprised, but thinking of the environment he was in, Zhu Youjian hurriedly shut his mouth.

It's just that Zhu Youjian didn't expect that his royal brother was not angry.

"Let's go."

Under Zhu Youjian's surprised gaze, Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe and stood up, raised his feet and walked out of the teahouse. Seeing this, Zhu Youjian hurriedly got up and followed.

As for Liu Ruoyu and others sitting at the next table, they all stood up one after another, and one of them walked straight towards the counter and paid off the tea bills for the two tables.

"So don't think that Mr. Wei Chang has really fallen out of favor. If he really fell out of favor, that day would be impossible..."

The departure of Zhu Youxiao and his entourage did not attract any attention. Sitting in the hall, Fourth Master Liu and a group of tea guests were all discussing the current situation of the court.

Public opinion seems to have been little affected.

After leaving the teahouse, Zhu Youxiao recalled the places he had visited and the memorials he had seen, with a faint smile on his face.

This is exactly what he wanted to see.

Compared with the changes in the court, Zhu Youxiao was more concerned about the changes among the people, because Zhu Youxiao had already seen through the group of civil servants in the temple and officialdom.

No matter how noisy they are, as long as you ignore them, you can't make any trouble.

If you ensure your own safety and control a certain amount of military power, then there will be no trouble in the Ming Dynasty!

A group of people in high positions would not dare to break up easily unless they are forced into a desperate situation. After all, the loss is too great.

If you get too much, you will inevitably worry about gains and losses!

Zhu Youxiao knew this exactly, so he would not offend them all at once, but would target them in different levels and in batches, using the calculations and conflicts between them to gradually achieve what he wanted.

"Let's go back."

Zhu Youxiao, who was in a good mood, said something casually and walked towards the crowd in front of him. In an invisible place, there were many people moving around Zhu Youxiao.

It's just that Zhu Youjian, who is accompanying him, has too much confusion in his heart. He can't guess what his brother is thinking, and he doesn't even know what his brother will do next.
