After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, he took a text and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu opened it and looked at it, the content was quite concise: Tai'an Mansion, the first year of Jingzheng, the great drought, please reduce taxes by 20%, the date is the first year of Jingzheng, February.

"Prophet of the Future......

Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved, and he couldn't help laughing, this Tai'an Mansion predicted that there would be a big drought at the beginning of the year, and the extent of the drought, so he wrote a recital in advance and prepared to submit it at any time.

He probably also understood why Fu Changzong withheld the money and food for disaster relief, Fu Changzong knew that the people below were deceiving the imperial court, but the world was so big, there was no way to verify and verify them one by one, and he could only stabilize the place in this way, and there would be nothing to do.

In this matter, Fu Changzong can't say that he is right, but if he corrects the mistake, it will seem that he, the emperor, is too harsh and cannot understand the courtiers' sincerity for the country.

Fortunately, the 'political reform' has passed, and Zhu Xu can purge the middle and lower classes in a big way.

"Let's go, go to Jinan, I want to see the military appearance of the Eagle Yang Army!" Zhu Xu put away the text and said lightly.

Wu Xiang raised his hand and said, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

As soon as he took a step, Zhu Xu said again: "Lao Cao, you go to the ship, the 1,000 Shenji Battalion will follow me, and the others will be on standby." ”

"Yes!" Cao Bianjiao said without hesitation.

Cao Huachun looked slightly stunned, and then said thoughtfully: "Obey." ”

Zhu Xu got into the carriage and, under the escort of the Shenji Battalion and Wu Xiang's 2,000 soldiers and horses, drove to Jinan.

Cao Huachun looked at the back of the army, the thoughtfulness just now suddenly brightened, without hesitation, he turned around and returned, he was going to the fleet to continue to confuse everyone, and at the same time to see if anyone would do anything to the 'emperor' on the ship.

When Zhu Xu secretly entered the Eagle Yang Army, his secret decree finally entered the celebrant supervisor.

In the class room, Liu Shimin sat at the table, spread out the letters passed by flying pigeons, looked at them one by one, examined them carefully, and his face became more and more solemn.

Bi Ziyan went out of Beijing to inspect the river, and Shen Yongmao went out of Beijing to supervise the whole army, and he wanted to go out of Shanhaiguan to comfort the military and civilians of Liaodong.

That's the equivalent of ...... The cabinet is empty! The military headquarters is empty! The celebrant is empty!

Liu Shimin intuitively has a dry mouth, he has been in the palace for many years, he has experienced the apocalypse in the ceremonial supervisor, Chongzhen and Jingzheng dynasties, and he is extremely sensitive to the court situation, especially for Emperor Jingzheng, he knows it even more!

With such a will, the entire Northern Zhili will become hell!

Liu Shimin has always been calm, but at this moment, his heart was beating violently, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

He held these secret letters with trembling hands, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Not far behind him, an inner warden stood in the shadow on the edge of the cabinet, his head bowed slightly, silent, as if he did not exist.

Liu Shimin was like a man on his back at this time, although the inner prison did not raise his head, but he still felt it, and his heart was fierce.

After a while, he wiped the sweat from his head and said solemnly, "Slave and maid, obey the order." ”

The inner supervisor bowed slightly to Liu Shimin and quietly withdrew from Liu Shimin's room.

Liu Shimin took a deep breath, took out a blank holy decree, picked up the pen and began to write.

It didn't take long for the four decrees to be written, and when the ink was dry, he got up and went to the imperial study to seal it.

Feng Zhu, who was standing in front of the imperial study, inspected it in detail, and under his gaze, he finished stamping it, which was a complete holy decree.

The first to receive the order was Bi Ziyan, and as soon as Liu Shimin left, he sat opposite Sun Chengzong and looked at each other.

Zhu Xu This is a very direct conspiracy, Sun Chengzong can naturally see that he is not worried at all, he looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "Master Bi, this time out of Beijing, I think it will be delayed for a long time." ”

Bi Ziyan shook his head slightly, a little indescribable in his heart.

The emperor's actions are becoming more and more undisciplined, and the ancestral system and basic rules are broken apart, this time, I am afraid that the entire capital will be turned upside down.

"You say, what is the emperor going to do?" Bi Ziyan looked up at Sun Chengzong, and asked with an expression that he couldn't help but ask.

Sun Chengzong frowned when he heard this, and now he is becoming more and more unable to understand the emperor.

In the past, his goals were unusually clear, Jiannu, the clan, Xungui, Donglin, etc., although they all acted after making a decision, they often seemed rude, and the purpose of all actions could be clear at a glance.

But now, is such a big move really just for the smooth implementation of the 'New Deal' and to set an example for the monkeys? Eliminate the eunuchs again?

They all don't believe it anymore, the emperor will definitely not do one thing for a simple purpose, this matter is so vast, it will definitely not be so simple!

Sun Chengzong thought about it again and again, his heart was a little heavy, and he said with an impassive face, "No matter what, Jingzheng Zhongxing is imminent, you and I should work together to help the emperor complete the great cause!" ”

Bi Ziyan nodded for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Jie came in and said, "My lord, Shen Shangshu asks to see you." ”

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong glanced at each other fiercely, and then said, "Please." ”

Shen Yongmao came in a hurry, holding a holy decree in his hand, and said without regard to the salute as soon as he entered the door: "Two pavilion elders, the emperor has issued an edict to let the lower officials leave Beijing immediately and inspect the whole army." ”

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong suddenly changed color, and before he could speak, Xu Jie came in again and said: "Two adults, just now the master of ceremonies revealed the news that Gonggong Liu will go out of Beijing and go to Liaodong to comfort the army and civilians. ”

This time, not only Bi Ziyan, but also Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao's face is also changing.

Liu Shimin sits in the palace, it is an invisible Dinghai Divine Stone, if he leaves Beijing, the palace will really be empty, and the emperor's will will be equivalent to disappearing completely!

As soon as Xu Jie's voice fell, a guard came in and said, "Report to a few adults, there is news from Dongchang, the emperor decrees that Wei Zhongxian will immediately investigate several major cases, and if there is any further delay, within three days, he will be arrested immediately!" ”

At this time, Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan couldn't sit still, their bodies slowly stood up, and they looked at the few people in front of them with shocked eyes.

Shen Yongmao and Xu Jie also looked frightened and couldn't control it.

Xu Jie couldn't suppress his panic, looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "My lord, in this way, the entire Beizhili will be Wei Zhongxian's...... What is the emperor going to do? ”

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were quite calm just now, but they were completely flustered at this time.

The emperor was confident that he would hand over Beizhili to Wei Zhongxian regardless of it, but they couldn't!

If Wei Zhongxian messes around, no one knows what will happen, how many people will die, how many rules will be broken, the old things of the four years of the Apocalypse must not be repeated, and there can be no more "Three Dynasties Classics"!

Shen Yongmao quickly came back to his senses, and said anxiously: "Two adults, if the lower officials leave Beijing, the patrol battalion will inevitably fall into the hands of the eunuchs, what should we do now, there must be a way?" ”

Military power has always been sensitive, especially now that only the patrol battalion in the capital is the strongest, let alone a person with ill intentions, even if it is a loyal minister of the imperial court, no one dares to rest assured!

Bi Ziyan has always been in charge of government affairs, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Lord Sun has been in military affairs for a long time, what can I do?" ”

Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "Military power...... The emperor has always been very strict, and if I usually use the reason of 'emergency', I can transfer the nearby soldiers and horses...... Not now! ”

A few people were stunned at first, but then understood that the emperor deliberately transferred the two battalions, but he was afraid that he would have already prevented them from mobilizing other troops.

Bi Ziyan sat at the table, staring out, like an old monk sitting still, with thoughts racing in his mind.

Shen Yongmao and Xu Jie are both ants on a hot pot, and they are worried that they are about to lose control of themselves.

Who is Wei Zhongxian, who died in his hands at the beginning, Ge Lao, is there still one less of the six Shangshu? Don't you have to do it again, so what kind of face do these ministers have to stand on top of the court?

Sun Chengzong is not in a hurry, he has confidence in Zhu Xu, although he seems to have no defense, this is the most terrifying.

Wei Zhongxian is not a fool, it should be him who is really worried now!

Bi Ziyan's mind was like lightning in his mind, and he smiled and said to Shen Yongmao: "Lord Shen, don't worry, the emperor has his own arrangements, and by doing this, he doesn't want to protect you." ”

Shen Yongmao was stunned, raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

Bi Ziyan smiled and said confidently: "Since the emperor said that it was 'immediately', then Lord Shen should leave Beijing today, there is no need to report again, it should be explained to Cao Qincheng's serious explanation, and the rest, don't worry too much." ”

Shen Yongmao was a little unsure why, he was worried about Cong Cong just now, why is he suddenly so categorical now.
