When it came to Xu Miaojin, Liu Chun looked embarrassed, in fact, he could have hid in the capital, is the so-called big hidden in the court! But the problem is that he is a little embarrassed, so he can only squint in Zhenjiang and pretend to be a dead dog.

"I said Lord Wang, our great enemy is at present, the waves are treacherous, and I don't know the outcome of the victory, so let's talk about the business first."

Zhu Di glanced at Liu Chun and snorted coldly: "Serious business? You don't stay in Yunnan, secretly run back to the capital, what are you going to do? Don't try to make waves, do you? ”

Liu Chun smiled bitterly, he reached out and took out a piece of yellow silk and handed it to Zhu Di.

There are only four words on it: change the law into a priority!

"This ...... Is it the imperial pen of the emperor? ”

Liu Chun nodded, "I came here for these four words!" ”

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial pen, muttered for a long time, and suddenly had tears in his eyes and clenched his fists.

"Father is too difficult!"

Zhu Di is really moved, he is the most affectionate person, in the past he also complained about Lao Zhu, favoring the eldest brother, their children are completely free-range, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get the favor of his father.

But during this time, he got along with Lao Zhu Chaoxi every day, and Zhu Di gradually understood a lot...... It's really not that Lao Zhu doesn't love them, but he can't express it!

That's right, it just can't be expressed.

Because there are too many people, peeking at the emperor's joy and anger, and with a little favoritism, someone will pounce on it. This time Ouyang Lun was implicated and Princess Anqing was hooked, isn't it aimed at the weakness of the Son of Heaven?

An emperor should be like a stone, hiding feelings, moody, and unpredictable, so as not to be swayed by the people below.

Don't think the emperor is amazing.

In the final analysis, the emperor is just one person, and he can't fight so many people together.

Change the law into a priority!

This is Lao Zhu's truest thoughts, and it is also the duty of an emperor. Only when the law change is successful, the Ming dynasty can prosper forever, and the descendants of the Zhu family can always be emperors......

Zhu Yuanzhang was the founder of the country, promoted the change of the law, and there were many resistances, during which Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, Zhu Biao, the prince of Qin, and Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin...... There are also a large number of imperial relatives and important civil and military ministers, who have become cannon fodder for changing the law.

How difficult it is to really promote the change!

Zhu Yuanzhang transferred Zhu Di away and asked him to patrol the west, and his intention couldn't be more obvious. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want Zhu Di to be opposed by the courtiers before he ascended the throne.

On the contrary, he wanted to give Zhu Di a chance to clean up people's hearts.

Only in this way can Zhu Di inherit the unification with supreme prestige and smoothly implement the reforms...... Even from this point of view, it can be understood why Zhu Yunwen was not abolished as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang neither wanted to make Zhu Di the target of public criticism too early, nor did he want to abolish the grandson when many people had hopes for Zhu Yunwen.

If there are still courtiers who have their hearts towards Zhu Yunwen, after Zhu Di ascends the throne, he will have to attack the former grandson, even if Zhu Di does not make a move, Zhu Di's courtiers will also take action to please the new master...... After all, Zhu Yunwen is still Zhu Biao's son!

Everything is entangled together, the family and the country, the burden of Mount Tai falls on the shoulders of an ancient old man...... Zhu Di squatted in the cabin, holding his head and crying, Father, you are too stupid! Don't be afraid, you can share these things with your son! My son is willing to help you carry it, and he is willing to charge into battle for you!

At this moment, Zhu Di was crying profusely, and the father-son relationship of more than 30 years burst out almost instantly, like a flood, out of control.

"No, I, I'm not going to the northwest, I'm going back to Beijing!"

Liu Chun spread his hands, "Lord Wang, this is the cabin, is it possible that you want to swim back?" ”

Zhu Di's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "I don't care, you let the ship turn around now, I have to go back to Beijing anyway!" ”

Liu Chun said: "Since this is the case, then I will accompany the prince to go back, I will also go to face the saint, the prince wants to charge into battle, then I will lead the horse in front of me, Your Majesty has been kind to me, I must repay the Son of Heaven!" ”

After Liu Chun finished speaking, he was about to order the ship to turn around. But Zhu Di waved his hand, and he calmed down...... If he goes back now, it will only disrupt his father's deployment and make the court situation more complicated. In fact, if you observe Zhu Yuanzhang's layout in recent years, you will find that every step has traces to follow.

For example, leaving Lan Yu in Fengyang, driving Liu Chun to Yunnan, and sending Zhu Di to the northwest, there are many, many young courtiers of the Fa-changing faction, all of whom were left in the place.

Lao Zhu just hopes that after the new monarch ascends the throne, he can use these civil and military talents, quickly promote reforms, and complete his unfinished great cause of changing the law.

Squat down now to jump higher in the future.

As for physical problems, perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang is too confident and thinks he can do it...... It is also true that so many Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, defeated Zhang Shicheng, destroyed Dayuan, abolished the prime minister, realized Juntian, promulgated the Great Edict, and severely punished corrupt officials...... What he wants to do, there is nothing he can't do!

May God bless his best son!

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and handed the yellow silk back to Liu Chun.

"You and I both know my father's intentions, no matter what, we have to realize our ideals for our father!"

Zhu Di and Liu Chun's hands were tightly clasped together, and when the ship arrived in Yangzhou and landed, Zhu Di did not stop for a moment and went straight to the northwest.

As for Liu Chun, he is also in a heavy mood now, he has caught Ouyang Lun's matter, his father has already sent the news, according to his understanding, Mei Yin was indeed involved in smuggling, but Jinyiwei actually caught the wrong one, let Mei Yin go, took Ouyang Lun, and turned the knife that originally slashed at the East Palace.

The third master was very sad and indignant and told Liu Chun that Jinyiwei had become a traitor! And the third master is still suspicious of one person - Tang Yun!

In the final analysis, he was born as a civil official, and he was planted in the hands of Liu Chun, making him no one and no ghost, he was angry in his heart, and he wanted revenge, which was reasonable.

Liu Chun doesn't fully agree with his father's judgment, but there is one thing that is necessary, that is, be prepared!

After Liu Chun thought about it, he sent a letter to Fengyang's Tang He and Feng Sheng.

Lan Yu is young and strong, Lao Zhu may not be at ease, but these two old ones can still be used, especially Tang He, who has won Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.

The old man is also in his seventies, even if he is asked to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang and fight until the last moment!

In addition, Liu Chun also sent a letter to Xu Zengshou, asking him to also pay attention to the changes in the court...... Moreover, Liu Chun also sent a letter to Zhang Dingbian.

Although this old man is older than anyone else, his body is very good, and he is the former Pixiu Guard, which just makes him take action...... Liu Chun is not in the officialdom and can't contribute directly, so he can only rely on indirect methods to help Lao Zhu share his worries and reduce the pressure as much as possible.

From the last two months of the 30th year of Hongwu to the first two months of the 31st year of Hongwu...... The entire capital, all the officials, has undergone an unprecedented reshuffle.

The first is the Ministry of Rites...... Lao Zhu replaced Ren Hengtai, who was on Zhu Yunwen's side, and then pushed the left waiter Chen Di to take over the book, Chen Di just came up, and Lao Zhu dismissed Chen Di's official position with negligence, and appointed Zheng Yi as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Thrown to the great uncle, the East Palace finally calmed down, it seems that Zhu Yunwen knelt down, and did not reverse the situation! On the contrary, the hand of the Son of Heaven is more direct!

The next step is the household department, which is the money bag of the Ming Dynasty.

Previously, Hubu Shangshu Yuxin pursued the case of Wang Bi and dealt a heavy blow to the East Palace, but later he was frantically impeached by the Yanguan and had to be transferred to serve as a political envoy.

I thought that the household department was in hand, but at this time, Lao Zhu transferred another person from the outside, this person is named Wang Yu, relatively speaking, he is also a follower, although he has some contacts with the East Palace, but it is not close, it belongs to the kind of wall grass, and it is useless at the critical moment.

As for the fiercest fight, it appeared in the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

That's right!

In this part of the official, the power is indeed too great.

The original Zuodu Yushi Yang Jing was stuffed to the Ministry of Industry, and then Lian Zining acted as the Metropolitan Inspectorate, but because of the Qilin case, Lian Zining was killed, and Yuan Tai succeeded him, not for two months, he was replaced by Cao Ming, after Cao Ming, it was Yan Zhenzhi, this person was not born as a Jinshi, nor was he a prisoner, he was originally a grain chief!

Because of the annual transportation of 10,000 stone grain into Taicang, he did it quickly and well, and was promoted to an official by Lao Zhu, and over the years, he was promoted to the position of the imperial history of the left capital, which is quite legendary.

He was born as a grain chief, and it stands to reason that he should oppose the change of law...... But on the contrary, precisely because he is well aware of the drawbacks of the grain chief system, Yan Zhenzhi has repeatedly supported the reform of the law with his own experience, so he also belongs to the reform faction in a broad sense.

Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Rites, and Metropolitan Procuratorate...... By the way, Lao Zhu also asked Liu Sanwu to concurrently serve as a bachelor of Hanlin, and handed over the Hanlin Academy here......

If these are just a change of heads, there are still a lot of courtiers below, and the minions of the East Palace are still sharp, but the next appointment is dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang was on the fifteenth day of the first month of the 31st year of Hongwu, invited Xinguo Gongtang and entered the palace, and the two old men ate the Lantern Festival together, chatted for half the night, turned the day, and officially worked.

Zhu Yuanzhang's first will was to let Tang He sit in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!

The alternation of military power has also begun......

In the past few months, Zhu Yuanzhang has been constantly mobilizing officials, observing Lao Zhu's methods, you can find that Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer mainly about killing, he no longer needs to deter hundreds of officials, everything Zhu Yuanzhang has done is to pave the way for Yi Chu...... Replacing a prince is related to the prosperity and wealth of countless people, and it is really not so easy.

How many emperors in history have encountered trouble in the prince...... Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty are not all like this! In contrast, Lao Zhu's movements are fast enough.

Now there are not many wings left in the East Palace...... The next step, Zhu Yuanzhang has already planned, that is, to attack Zhu Yunwen's masters, these guys have been making waves for many years, and they haven't done anything good, it's time to settle accounts!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about how to start, he sent the admission list of Enke this year, a total of fifty-one people. Zhu Yuanzhang looked patiently...... Since the beginning of the thirtieth year of Hongwu, Liu Chun's disciples have participated in the imperial examination, and they are not as good as the traditional scholars, but these people write strategies and arguments, simple and unpretentious, and are very popular with Zhu Yuanzhang, and there are more than 20 people who entered the officialdom last year.

Lao Zhu added an additional term of Enke...... I want to recruit more talents who support the reform of the law and fundamentally change the balance of power in the court......

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it happily, but soon he frowned, these more than 50 people, not to mention all southern scholars, are all traditional scholars.

Including what Lao Zhu had heard, several good Liuxue disciples, none of them were on the list!

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was angry, lifted his pen and drew a big cross on the list!

"Go, bring out all the papers, send them to the palace, I want to read the papers myself!"

The little eunuch hurriedly went to pass the decree, and all the case files were sent to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang took a copy and looked at it, and when he saw a copy, he drew a fork.

After reading more than a dozen copies, Lao Zhu's face turned blue with anger, how could such a flashy and empty article be selected?

He simply looked forward from behind, and this time Zhu Yuanzhang really found a few good articles...... Until he saw the dawn, Lao Zhu rubbed his sore eyes, and became more and more angry, "Send a decree to call all the examiners to the palace, I want to ask them, how did you get scholars for the imperial court?" On the ceremony, do they dare to teach each other privately? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily, so angry that he kept pacing on the ground, his lips kept trembling, and he muttered to himself: "Da Ming is not the Da Ming of the southerners, and Da Ming is not the old Da Ming, if you want to snatch my Da Ming, I will kill you, kill!" Kill!! ”

Suddenly, Emperor Hongwu's eyes darkened, and his body slowly fell, just like when he was in Tangling...... Only this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wake up again......
