Fu Changzong can be regarded as the best to understand the emperor's intentions, and Zhu Xu has talked to him more than once about the idea of 'the officials and gentry will pay the grain in one piece, and the fire will be returned to the public'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Moreover, there were a lot of temptations before, all of which stopped at the point and did not cause any turmoil, naturally, every temptation showed that the official gentry class was not easy to deal with, and the household department, even Zhu Xu did not dare to move lightly.

However, Shaanxi. The matter of the west obviously gave Zhu Xu a very good excuse to use the southwest as a test field, so as to estimate the world.

Fu Changzong knew that it was time for him to speak, he looked around quietly, then looked at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, his tone was extremely calm, and said: "Lord Bi, Sun Ge Lao, the lower officials think that not only are officials, but the southwest officials and gentry are favored by the emperor and have a long grace, and they should also contribute to the disaster situation in the southwest and share the worries of the imperial court." ”

Fu Changzong went one step further and pulled all the officials and gentry in the southwest, that is, to the whole southwest, except for the clan, everyone had to pay taxes!

Everyone's hearts were sudden, and they all looked at Fu Changzong, their eyes flickering.

They are all speculating, is this Fu Changzong's own intention, or the emperor's instructions?

Bi Ziyan's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Sun Chengzong, and said, "What do other adults think?" ”

The truth is like this, but the truth can't be eaten as a meal, let alone snatching the meat in other people's bowls!

Zhou Yingqiu had a clear view of this matter, and it was clear that the emperor was pushing behind him, since Fu Changzong had finished speaking, it should be his turn to continue, the second person in the 'Imperial Party', and he was silent for a while, and then said: "The lower officials agree with Lord Fu's words." Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, such a thing must not happen in our dynasty, otherwise it will damage the emperor's holy virtue. ”

Everyone is slandered in their hearts, another big truth, but if it is really to be implemented, the southwest gentry must rebel!

"The lower official seconded the proposal." This time it was Xu Dahua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who spoke this time, Wei Zhongxian was unreliable, so he had been actively working hard, working hard, and desperately trying to please Zhu Xu. He is also a bright-eyed person, how could he miss this opportunity.

"The lower official seconded the proposal." It was Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who spoke, and the authority of the Criminal Department is now more to arrest criminals, solve cases, review other cases, and judge cases, all of which have been transferred to Dali Temple, so the sense of existence is very low, so you can't miss the opportunity to show your loyalty.

Among the six books, there is still Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

King Jing interjected at this time and said loudly: "Two adults, the lower officials think that Fu Shangshu's proposal is no better and should be implemented!" ”

King Jing saw a certain trend, King Xin was less and less trusted by the emperor, and it was only a matter of time before he left the cabinet, and Zhou Yingqiu has frequently shown favor recently, and the talents he recommended have been reused, which is a hint!

None of the people present really cared about King Jing, and the reason why they called him here was just to supervise and let the emperor know that they were not secretly discussing state affairs behind his back.

Shen Yongmao glanced at Yuan Keli, knowing that this old man was highly respected, he groaned, and continued: "The lower officials have doubts, if this proposal comes out, I am afraid that it will not be as the imperial court thinks, the southwestern provinces are already chaotic, this move is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the lower officials should slow down." ”

Shen Yongmao said it to these people, and it was also said to Zhu Xu.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong had no accidents, Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the military department, was the most secure and meticulous, and they all looked at Yuan Keli, who did not speak.

Yuan Keli's face was like a sword, his eyes were also sharp and abnormal, he looked at Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan, and said very simply: "No one in the world will agree, so the lower officials seconded it!" ”

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong are both slightly stunned, what does Yuan Keli mean by this? Their Yuan family is a prominent scholarly family, and they have a very important position in the literary world and in the Ming Dynasty. Why oppose the scholars?

But Yuan Keli didn't mean to explain, and when a word fell, he stopped opening his mouth and didn't say a word.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other, and they both felt helpless.

This is not the result they want, and it is unknown how much of these adults' words are sincere, in this case, can this policy really be implemented smoothly? How much effect will it have?

In addition to this matter, there is no need to discuss anything else, Bi Ziyan said: "In this case, I will go back to the emperor with Sun Ge, you can go back first." ”

From beginning to end, when they came to Zongdao, Zhang and I were not qualified to speak, and both of them understood in their hearts and never interjected.

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu glanced at each other, stood up, and walked out silently.

It came so suddenly, they weren't prepared at all.

In the Wucheng Pavilion, only Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong remained.

Sun Chengzong shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "If it is postponed for another three or five years, things may be easier, but the emperor is still anxious after all." ”

Bi Ziyan didn't think so, his face was calm, and he said thoughtfully: "If this disaster is really as Qin Tianjian said, it will last for four or five years, and then we will have to see what the situation will be, then, the emperor's approach today is probably a rainy day......

Sun Chengzong was stunned, thoughtful, and immediately said: "If this is the case, it is true that the arrangements must be made as soon as possible, but the people of the world may not see it this way. ”

The two looked at each other again, and Bi Ziyan said, "Let's go, and discuss with the emperor again." ”

The two of them walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion and turned around and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Xu is no longer in Jingyang Palace at this moment, but in Qianqing Palace.

On the gimbal, Zhu Xu, Concubine Liu, Li Jieyu, and the others were Li Sizhong and other people who were built in a row.

The old lady sat on the lower left of Zhu Xu, looked at Li Sizhong and the other Li family, and said with a smile on her face: "General Li is my Great Ming Pillar Stone, who has guarded Liaodong for more than 40 years, and has made outstanding achievements......

Li Sizhong and the others bowed and stood there, resigned, trembling in their hearts.

The emperor postponed summoning them for so long, not only to show that the emperor did not want to see them, but also the whole court did not want to see them, and the reason why they still wanted to see them was just for the people of the world to see.

Li Jieyu sat on Zhu Xu's right hand, wearing a lady's palace dress, as if he was a person from the harem. Her expression was calm, and she didn't see the slightest hint of wanting to speak for her mother's family.

Zhu Xu looked at a few people and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, this time you can pacify Liaodong, you are all meritorious people, I plan to go south next year, you all have to do a good job of guarding me." ”

Li Sizhong and the others hurriedly raised their hands and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile and said: "Well, the rewards that should be given will be rewarded after the year, whether it is being an official or leading a soldier, I support it, if you have any ideas, you can also mention it to me now." ”

Li Sizhong and the others dared to speak indiscriminately, and hurriedly said: "The Beijing division is prosperous, and the ministers are old, and they are willing to cultivate in Beijing." ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "I am not a stingy emperor, so let's do it, I have allocated all your original troops in Liaodong to you, as well as the bandits suppressed by the imperial court in the southwest, and they are also assigned to you, a total of 50,000 people, when the time comes, go south with me, Annam, I plan to clean up, and you will contribute to me." ”
