I saw Gu Bingqian arch his head and said, "Your Majesty...... According to investigation, the fact of Wu County is that Wen Zhibing, the head of the Dongchang Factory, wantonly extorted money from the people of Wu County when he arrested Zhou Shunchang, angered the people of Wu County, and then provoked the collective strike of Wu County businessmen, it is said that Wen Zhibing should return to Beijing as soon as possible after such a bad thing happened, but this person not only did not return to Beijing, but instead ordered the governor Mao Yilu to arrest the troublemakers, and finally forced the people of Wu County to make a civil uprising, and was finally beaten to death by the people of the people. Although this matter is indeed done by the people of Wu County, the main reason is that Wen Zhibing is too greedy, so the ministers and others think that this matter should not be made big, and they ordered Mao Yilu to reprimand and appease the people of Wu County. ”

"Well...... Zhu Youxiao didn't give a glance, and asked Cui Jingrong, Li Qiyuan and others: "Do the ministers think the same way?" ”

Cui Jingrong and the others glanced at each other and then said in unison: "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded what Gu Ge Lao said. ”

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing behind Zhu Youxiao, was angry in his heart when he saw the unanimous attitude of these guys, these bastards dared to openly give our family eye medicine in front of His Majesty, you wait, see how our family will clean you up in the future.

Zhu Youxiao sighed secretly in his heart, there are almost no courtiers who dare to do anything now, and when they encounter such a time, they are afraid that they will not be able to dodge, even the Shangshu and even the Shoufu of the current dynasty, and although Wei Zhongxian can block the fire and saliva of the Chinese officials of the dynasty for himself, he is too greedy for people, and he really does not let himself worry.

Speaking of Zhu Youxiao is also very difficult, it stands to reason that a prince before ascending the throne The previous emperor will personally teach him the way to govern the country and control the civil and military officials, and invite the best Confucians and important ministers to teach him, and the prince will also gather a group of courtiers to serve him before ascending the throne, so that the prince can quickly take over the affairs of the court and deal with the court affairs after ascending the throne.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, never thought of passing the throne to Zhu Youxiao's Laozi Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo when he was in power, not to mention Zhu Youxiao, the emperor's grandson, who had not read for a few days at all. So much so that Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at the ministers' recitals after ascending the throne, so he had to retreat behind the scenes and push Wei Zhongxian out of the ring with the courtiers. From this point of view, Zhu Youxiao is by no means just a foolish emperor who works as a carpenter all day long, as stated in the history books, on the contrary, he is a very smart person.

It is said that there should be nothing wrong with such a policy of governance, but recently Zhu Youxiao found that with the great rise of Wei Zhongxian's power, the eunuch who was pushed out by him began to swell a little. It's just a matter of making a lot of money on weekdays, and he began to claim to be nine thousand years old, and he also wanted to build his own shrines in various places, so that he would make too many enemies, and if he didn't provoke too much public anger, he would be taken down, and at that time he would be passive.

Zhu Youxiao was silent, and Gu Bingqian and others on the side were also worried, although the civil power of the Ming Dynasty was getting bigger and bigger, and the literati openly shouted the slogan of the Son of Heaven and the scholars to rule the world together, but the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, and in legal theory he is the only ruler of this country, and theoretically the people of the entire Ming Empire are his people, and he has the right to punish them in any form.

Looking at Gu Bingqian and the others who were silent and worried in their hearts, Zhu Youxiao suddenly smiled: "Gu Qing has done a good job in this matter, and it is indeed Wen Zhibing who has done a bad job at this time." As the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and Wen Zhibing harmed the local area to extort money, thus causing public anger and retribution, and he deserved it. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, Gu Bingqian and the others all showed joy, but Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale. Wen Zhibing was sent out by him, and now he is naturally responsible for what happened, it seems that Zhu Youxiao is already dissatisfied with him, but what makes Wei Zhongxian unclear is that Zhu Youxiao in the past was simply obedient to him, and he would dismiss his words and suggestions very well, but today he is uncharacteristically dissatisfied with his attitude, could it be that someone has said something in Zhu Youxiao's ear these days that shouldn't be said? Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of fierceness.

Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't notice the eyes of Wei Zhongxian who was standing behind him, and after saying this, he said: "Also, a few days ago, the thief chief Nurhachi openly stole the capital of Shenyang City, which is really a shame for my Ming Dynasty, as the pillars of the imperial court, can you just watch those Jurchens occupy Liaodong and slaughter my Ming people?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty!"

"Ministers deserve death!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words were finished, Gu Bingqian and the others knelt down and pleaded guilty in unison, after all, they were either the first assistant or Shangshu, and they were naturally to blame for such a big incident. Just looking at a famous minister Zhu Youxiao kneeling in front of him, his heart was disgusted, these ministers said at every turn that they were guilty, and they deserved to die, but in fact, as the supreme ruler of this country, he couldn't really send them all home, after all, he couldn't do without the help of these people to govern this huge country, and these people were so fearless precisely because they knew this. They clinged to Da Ming's body, greedily sucking Da Ming's flesh and blood, but they didn't know that once Da Ming fell, they would also become ghosts under the knife of foreigners.

Zhu Youxiao's heart suddenly swelled with a burst of feelings, and at this time, he suddenly sounded the words of the thousand households named Yang Feng in the slightly simple Qianhu office: "It seems that Yang Feng is still reasonable, today's civilian-official group has evolved into a big tumor, if this rotten meat is not cut off as soon as possible, this country will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later." ”

Just when Zhu Youxiao felt helpless, a small yellow door hurriedly walked in from outside the door, only to see him holding a brocade box in both hands, and after coming in, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty and your lords, Nanjing Wei Guogong Mansion and the Ministry of War urgently report, more than ten days ago, a gang of Japanese robbers and thieves in the coastal area drove more than ten ships suddenly appeared in the area of Zhenjiang Mansion, after they landed, they plundered and slaughtered the people in the area of Zhenjiang Mansion, the local government was at a loss, Nanjing garrison Grandpa Wei and the town guard eunuch Cao Gonggong jointly sent an urgent report, Ask the imperial court to send troops to suppress the thieves! ”

"What? Is there such a thing? ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be surprised, since some defeated Japanese samurai and Ming pirates frequently invaded the interior of the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period, the word "Japanese Invaders" was officially propagated in the Ming Dynasty, after the hard work of the Ming military and people led by Qi Jiguang, and finally hit those Japanese invaders hard, so that they no longer dared to harass the borders of the Ming Dynasty, but today these guys have reappeared, is it that now the Ming Dynasty, which has internal and external troubles, is it necessary to reproduce the scourge of the Ming Dynasty?
