"Haha......" Seeing Fang Liang, who looked frightened, mention the word "sinner", Ah Qiu immediately laughed out loud, and then looked at Fang Liang with a sneer, "People don't kill for themselves, you are just clearing a roadblock on the road ahead, what is the crime?" ”

"The reason why this official wants to deal with Zhenguo Gong is because he doesn't want him to become a powerful minister who monopolizes power, and he has never thought of betraying the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this, Fang Liang's face turned blue and white for a while, and he secretly felt remorse in his heart, no matter what, he didn't expect that Ah Qiu would be a person from the Northern Yuan, so he said to Ah Qiu with a stern expression, "This kind of treason and glory cannot be done by this official. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, you can sue the official, let the people from the government arrest me, and then the two of us will reunite in the prison of the Criminal Department!" A hint of disdain flashed on Ah Qiu's face, and while gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, he said casually, he expected that Fang Liang would not destroy his future.

Fang Liang saw Ah Qiu's aggressive posture, his fists couldn't help but clench tightly, he was not so stupid to report to the official, and the court would definitely investigate him for his private contact with Ah Qiu, even if he didn't go to prison, his career would be over.

However, if he didn't report to the official, he would have to be threatened by Ah Qiu all the time, this was a scene that Fang Liang absolutely did not want to see, otherwise he would become Ah Qiu's puppet at that time, and he would be subject to Ah Qiu everywhere.

"A small amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband!" Then, Fang Liang's eyes flashed fiercely, and he secretly muttered a sentence in his heart, his eyes looked at Ah Qiu coldly, as long as he killed Ah Qiu, no one would know about his conversation with Ah Qiu tonight.

Thinking of this, Fang Liang's footsteps couldn't help but take a step back, and he was about to go out and shout that the two bodyguards outside the door had killed Ah Qiu, although Ah Qiu looked tall and big, but those two bodyguards had good skills, and they would definitely win if they fought two against one.

"You'd better not act rashly, those two pieces of waste outside the door are no match for me at all." Seeing this, Ah Qiu immediately guessed Fang Liang's intentions, and warned with a smile, "Besides, even if you kill me, then someone will make your cooperation with Dayuan public."

"This official can clearly tell you that this official will not betray the Ming Dynasty, and your wishful thinking is wrong." Hearing this, Fang Liang realized that Ah Qiu had seen through his intentions, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said solemnly after stopping.

"Those who know the times are Junjie, as long as the two of us join forces, we can influence the political situation between Dayuan and Daming in the future, why not?" Ah Qiu had already heard that Fang Liang's confidence was a little insufficient, so he said with a smile, "A manly husband should make contributions to his career, and you don't want to be pressed by Li Yuntian for the rest of your life and never have a bright future." ”

Fang Liang couldn't help but fall silent when he heard this, I have to say that Ah Qiu's mention is very tempting, if he can join forces with Ah Qiu, then if he starts a war with Da Yuan in the future, he can deal with it with ease.

"As long as you cooperate with me, I will push you to the position of Li Yuntian, and then you can take charge of the power of the Ming Dynasty and become a powerful minister above ten thousand people under one person!"

Seeing that Fang Liang was moved by what he said, Ah Qiu then said with a smile, "Da Yuan just wants to recapture the capital and the land north of the Yellow River, if the two sides face each other across the Yellow River, presumably the emperor will rely on you more in the future, and you can also take the opportunity to firmly grasp the power in your hands." ”

"Dadu?"

Fang Liang's brows suddenly frowned, most of the words in Ah Qiu's mouth refer to the current Beijing City, it seems that the Northern Yuan Dynasty has a lot of appetite, and actually wants to row the Yellow River with the Ming Dynasty to rule, so that the Ming Dynasty will lose most of the land in the north, but the Ming Dynasty will give up Beijing City lightly? You must know that Emperor Xuande has issued an edict to expand the city of Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely do his best to protect the city of Beijing.

"Daming has two capitals, so as long as Dayuan hits along the inner Great Wall, then the imperial court will definitely be forced to move the capital to Nanjing, the prosperity of Nanjing City will make many officials forget, and it will be much easier for Dayuan to capture Beijing City."

Seeing that Fang Liang was a little unconvinced, Ah Qiu explained with a smile that I am afraid that many civil and military officials will take the opportunity to choose to return to Nanjing City, and no one wants to stay to face the Mongolian soldiers.

"Why did you choose me?" Fang Liang saw that Ah Qiu was right, so he groaned for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple, one, you have been admitted to the Jinshi and become a Shujishi, you have very great prospects, and it is worth our investment." Ah Qiu explained to Fang Liang unhurriedly, "Second, you are ambitious and have a good mind, which is a good foundation for our cooperation. Judging from the current situation, you have indeed lived up to our trust, and things are going very smoothly. ”

"Now you have no way out, only by cooperating with us, we promise not to treat you badly." As he spoke, Ah Qiu smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to Fang Liang.

"I hope you don't break your word!" Fang Liang pondered for a moment when he heard this, and finally made a decision after some careful consideration, he picked up the wine glass with an expressionless face and touched it with Ah Qiu, he was now chasing ducks to the shelves and cooperating with Ah Qiu, so as to gain more power.

Hearing this, the corners of Ah Qiu's mouth suddenly showed a smug smile, his smile was full of indifference, in his opinion, with Fang Liang's help, Li Yuntian would definitely die this time.

The next day, when the civil and military officials in the capital were secretly speculating about Emperor Xuande's illness, Emperor Xuande issued six edicts involving military and political affairs in one breath, which surprised all the officials.

The first edict was the dredging of the six lakes.

In September of the ninth year of Xuande, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture reported: "In the land of Su, Song, Jia, and Hu, there are six lakes such as Taihu Lake, Pangshan, Yangcheng, Shahu, Kuncheng, and Shanghu, which are vast for more than 3,000 li. The six lakes go out of Wusong River in Jiading County in the southeast, Liujiagang in Kunshan County in the east, and Baimao Port in Changshu County in the northeast.

At the beginning of Yongle, the imperial court sent Shangshu Xia Yuanji and others to dredge the river port, so that the flood was eliminated and the people benefited. Now it has fallen into disrepair, and the river port has been silted up again. Please send a minister to supervise the local government and county officials to recruit migrant workers to dredge during the slack season, so that the lake can be vented and the crops can be harvested.

Therefore, Xuanzong specially ordered Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Works, the governor of Jiangnan, and the governor of taxes and grains Zhou Chen to govern this time.

The second edict was to order the generals to patrol the border, and in this edict, Emperor Xuande warned: The country is fine today, and there is no police on the border, so you can be comfortable. However, worrying about safety is the way to protect the state. On the northwest side, captives often haunt them. This autumn is high horse fat, and it is advisable to warn and prepare. However, teachers must be cautious, not greedy for profit, and not wanton killing. Shen Yan ordered, neatly organized the troops, and strengthened the armor of the soldiers, so as to vibrate the martial arts, so that the captives were subdued and did not dare to invade. And the border cities are firmly sealed, which is a good policy. “

The third edict was the promulgation of the "Official Motto" formulated by Emperor Xuande himself to warn the hundred officials.

There are a total of 35 articles in the "Official Discipline", from the six departments, the nine kings to the chief and the pedestrians, from the outside from the political and the two divisions, the prefectures, prefectures, counties and even Confucianism, and the military positions from the governor's office to the commanders of each capital, and the internal and external guards, all of which have clearly formulated the guidelines that should be observed within the scope of their duties, as a warning.

Emperor Xuande said in the edict: I appease Sui Zhaomin, and I really rely on Chinese and foreign civil and military ministers, work together, and rise up to govern merit. The distant ministers can neither count the sights and tell them, nor the close ministers can count the words when they meet day and night. Because of the righteousness of the ancients, each wrote an article, so that each was exposed in the hall, and the day and night were examined, which could be expected to help the ministry. However, the ancient monarchs and ministers have a way to set an example, and all the incumbent gentlemen have sued me with good words, which is especially a beautiful thing.

The fourth edict was to customize the cases of the governor and the governor to ease the tension between the governor and the political envoy, the inspector and the imperial history.

At the beginning of the establishment of the governor, due to the limited powers of the governor, when the governor encountered a litigation case, the case with strict circumstances was handed over to the political envoy department, the second division of the inspection envoy department, or the governor of the imperial history for questioning.

As a result, the powers of the governor overlapped with those of the political envoys, the inspectors, and the imperial historians, resulting in repeated conflicts between the two sides, as neither of them wanted to share the power in their hands with others.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande asked the Imperial Procuratorate to write an example of the governor and the imperial history of the inspector and the imperial history according to the judge's text: the Holy Dynasty has a supervision of the imperial history and a judicial department outside, and all the officials who are unfair and lawless must be corrected. Therefore, there is no commitment with the divisions, this is the guest of the eyes and ears, and the division of the discipline program. The governor wants to order the judge to return the lawsuit after questioning. This is a serious criminal matter, and it is in the hands of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even if it is reported by the prosecutor, it is not only difficult for him to make a decision on his own, but also fears that he will act arbitrarily and recklessly.

He also considered that the imperial history and the judge were held hostage by him, and he bent the law and obeyed it, so that he reversed right and wrong, and went in and out of people's crimes, which is especially impossible. Please order the inspectors of all places to follow the imperial history and the judges to send the governor and the servant to the lawsuit from now on, and if the matter is urgent, then follow the reasoning and go to Beijing to make a decision; If there is any interference with military positions and civil officials of the fifth rank or above, they will be petitioned for ruling, and they will still be submitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as usual.

The Ministry of Begging and Rites moved the document, ordering the governor to transfer all affairs from now on, only to transfer the political secretary and Fuzhou County to patrol according to the imperial history and the judge. If it is not an important matter, it must not be done.

The fifth edict is the formulation of the military regulations of the audit and examination, before Xuande, if the military flag of the capital division guard is absent, the military department will pre-supply the survey, fill in from it, send people to make up for it, and the people sent, after the matter is returned, it will also be sold from itself, and the military department will be more audited.

Therefore, officials have taken advantage of their fate, or transferred their own military origins, or vainly took civilians as soldiers, surveyed or given but not sold, and the time limit or was not sinned, resulting in the official flag sent to be postponed, married and had children, or returned to the hometown for 30 or 20 years without returning to the original guard station.

Although the lawsuit was ordered to be punished, the shortcomings have accumulated for a long time and cannot be reformed.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande thought that this was all due to the failure of the examination, and ordered each guard to fill in the original nationality of the person who could be sent, the program limit and the nationality of the sergeant taken, and report it to the department. Those who can be repatriated will be reported to the Department at the end of each year. The official flag sent by him is returned to the guard, and there is still a reason for the liberation of the army, and there is no reason for the solution, whether there is a crime that has expired, and the class register is declared. so that those who can be found to be in and out of the country can be examined, and those who are guilty of fraud can be punished.

The sixth edict was to exempt the rent, and Emperor Xuande issued an edict with the drought: the Beijing and the province were exempted from the rent and miscellaneous classes of the disaster, and the summer tax was exempted for another year.

There is a lack of food for the military and civilians, and there is a division to inspect the mouth to give official food; If there is no official grain, it is advisable to borrow money from large grain households and repay the full amount when the harvest is harvested.

He was also appointed to the governor of the country, and was sentenced to justice by the judge, and the death penalty was reduced to the following, and the crime of the fugitive soldier was pardoned. There is a virtuous and upright person, patrolling the imperial history, according to the judges, correcting the corrupt officials and the envoys.

After learning about Emperor Xuande's six edicts, Li Yuntian's expression suddenly became even more gloomy, which meant that Emperor Xuande was already arranging the things behind him, otherwise how could he issue several holy edicts in one go?

Almost at the same time, he ran into an unexpected problem.
