Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Boom!

A thunder exploded from the clouds, followed by lightning piercing the void, heavy rain washed the world, and a depressing atmosphere surrounded it.

Forbidden City.

Under the curtain of rain, figures were walking forward one after another, and thunder sounded from time to time, making some people in the crowd nervous. No one knew why the emperor suddenly summoned them.

"Mr. Cheng Guo, why do you think the emperor summoned us to the palace this time?" Xu Xigao, who was walking forward holding an oil-paper umbrella, frowned and looked at the Qianqing Gate in front of him, and whispered to Zhu Chunchen who was walking with him, and While talking about this, Xu Xigao's wary eyes glanced at the eunuch of the inner court who was leading the way.

"do not know."

Zhu Chunchen, who was confused in his heart, replied in a low voice.

The situation in the DPRK has been changing so fast recently that Zhu Chunchen could not even guess what the emperor wanted to do. In particular, he dismissed Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei, ignored the opposition of the ministers to the imperial cabinet, and even faced the dissent and impeachment of the Manchu civil and military officials. Indifferent, these changes have made many people in Beijing think about it.

As an official in Beijing, you are not afraid of drastic changes in the political situation. What you are afraid of is not being able to see through the general trend! !

The current situation in the DPRK makes many people worried, because many people find that it is even more chaotic than when the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu, Zhe and other factions were fighting at the beginning of the Emperor's reign! !

The key is that this chaos was initiated by the emperor.

"The Emperor must have discovered something, right?"

Xu Xigao said nervously.

"What did you find?"

Zhu Chunchen frowned and looked at Xu Xigao, "We are nobles of the Ming Dynasty and we live with the country. Can we still do things that harm the country?"

Xu Xigao fell silent.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are constant disputes in the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are not only fighting and killing, but also mixed with a lot of human feelings. But if vested interests are really involved, then there is not enough fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes?

Boom~

In this atmosphere, a thunder exploded from the dark clouds, and the lightning flash that followed made the gray sky brighter.

The rain seemed to be falling harder.

"It's raining at the wrong time."

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao stood by the window with his hands behind his hands. He felt the cool breeze coming. Looking at the cloudy sky, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh: "The major construction projects in Shuntian and Baoding are probably too big." It’s time to stop for now.”

Zhu Youjian, who was standing nearby, had a bit of solemnity between his brows.

Talk about it.

As the situation in the court continued to change, the Disaster Relief Office under the leadership of Sun Chuanting started a number of major projects based on the imperial village under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. Later, due to the evolution of some events, the Disaster Relief Office successively took over Baoding, Hejian, and Yongping Prefectures. Huangzhuang, and then a number of large-scale construction projects started, which caused the number of refugees recruited by the Disaster Relief Office to continue to increase.

Over one million is an established fact.

So many bankrupt groups were centralized under the Disaster Relief Agency, which caused many things to change quietly.

What worries Zhu Youxiao the most is the large number of fully enclosed imperial estates. After absorbing a large number of bankrupt groups, with the intervention and governance of the Disaster Relief Office, production order and governance order were restored...

In particular, a large number of brave people were recruited by the law enforcement team of the Disaster Relief Office. Their families were concentrated in a group of imperial villages to live a stable life, and their children studied in the schools opened in the imperial villages.

This makes the members of the Law Enforcement Team of the Disaster Relief Agency, although they are scattered among the major projects that have sprung up in Shuntian, Baoding and other provinces and are responsible for maintaining order and stability, they do not have any complaints, and they are even very motivated! !

Studying, even in the Ming Dynasty, where the culture was prosperous, was still out of reach for the lower class people. After all, a half-grown man would kill me. In the Ming Dynasty, where production efficiency was low, it would cost a lot to provide a full-time scholar. It is really too big, and it is definitely not something that the lower class people can afford.

Everyone knows that reading can change your life, but there are too many things in this world that cannot be changed by just talking.

"Is there anything you want to say to me, my dear brother?"

Zhu Youxiao, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, looked at the rain outside the window and spoke to Zhu Youjian behind him with a calm expression.

"Brother Royal..."

Zhu Youjian was a little hesitant, but when he looked up at his brother's back, Zhu Youjian felt a sudden change in his heart and said what he was thinking: "Is your brother really planning to do that?"

"if not?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, turned around and looked at Zhu Youjian, "I summoned Zhu Chunchen and the others into the palace. Why did I summon them if we didn't talk about that matter?"

"But Brother Emperor, you don't know that some of Zhu Chunchen and others have problems." Zhu Youjian said anxiously.

"If the things that Da Neixingchang secretly found out are true, then Zhu Chunchen and the others are not just violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"I know."

Zhu Youxiao's face did not change and he said: "Is it possible that their titles should be deposed?"

Zhu Youjian frowned and said: "If that's the case, it's not impossible to depose them from the title. Even arresting them all and ransacking their homes would be no problem at all."

"Then the emperor brother has thought about it."

Zhu Youxiao said: "If I really do this, what changes will it bring to the court? What will it make the civil and military officials in the court think? Especially Zhang Weixian, who serves in the Royal Forbidden Army and other nobles in the capital, they have questions in their hearts. What are you thinking about?"

Zhu Youjian was silent.

Studying in Qianqing Palace in the past few months has made Zhu Youjian change a lot. Maybe some of his personality cannot be changed, but at least Zhu Youjian will consider the overall situation.

"Some things need to be considered as a whole."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "You can't do whatever you want. Even if I am the emperor, I can't do whatever I want."

"You have to clearly distinguish the primary and secondary conflicts when doing things. You can't simply and rudely apply them across the board. This will only make your opponents happy because you will offend too many people."

"Right now, for me, I want to rectify the bad atmosphere in the court and let all the civil servants in the court know what my bottom line is!"

"It's just that when you are doing these things, there will be other things waiting for you. Is it just because you have to solve the above things that you will ignore other things?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head.

"Since the emperor understands this truth, why is it like this?" Zhu Youxiao asked back: "Is it because I can't stand it? If that's the case, then the emperor should go and become a vassal as soon as possible!"

With the birth of Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Youxiao paid more and more attention to Zhu Youjian's education and guidance. After all, Zhu Youjian would serve as a pioneer in overseas migration and contribute to the rise of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe Zhu Youjian is not qualified to be the emperor, but it cannot be denied that Zhu Youjian is capable. Just for his diligent and self-denial style, sending him overseas to the Ming Dynasty can beat many people!

"Brother Chen is a little worried."

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian hurriedly explained: "I'm worried that if these people really give them some benefits, each one of them will become more and more rampant."

"Isn't this an opportunity?"

Zhu Youxiao asked back: "If you want to destroy a person, you have to make him crazy first. Only in this way, even if I don't kill him, the general trend will kill them!"

"!!!"

Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly, he didn't understand until now.

"Your Majesty, Duke Cheng and others are here."

At this moment, Liu Ruoyu, who was waiting outside the hall, lowered his head and walked into the hall.

"Declarate it."

Zhu Youxiao lifted his robe and walked towards the throne.
