Chapter 1107: King Jing's memorial

Yu Chenglong surrendered to Cao Dingjiao and other "new imperial party leaders". He felt much less uneasy, but he still did not give up and sent a message around the capital and made a relationship.

Yu Chenglong has a complex background and many senior officials in the court have recommended him. Although he was "exiled", many people are still willing to "dislike".

The Governor's Office, the Deputy Chief, Han Qizhi and his group shook their heads when they looked at Yu Chenglong's visits.

A person who looked in charge looked at Han Qizhi and said, "Sir, Yu Chenglong just went to Cao Dingjiao and others, and he must have received some promises."

"What's the difference between promising or not? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Dingjiao and others will inevitably become generals and ministers in the future. Yu Chenglong is just outside the Zhengyuan and being admitted is already a broad-minded court..."

"If I want to say, the emperor is smart. This time, the imperial examination will distinguish all the people with ulterior motives. Now, it is said that the traffic in front of the Cao Mansion is full of traffic, which is even more lively than when General Cao was in Beijing. There are more and more people standing in this team..."

"Haha, it's not. The future of Cao Dingjiao and others is afraid that Cao Bianjiao will go further than Cao Wenzhao..."

Han Qizhi was the Minister of Justice of the previous dynasty. He was in the wild for 40 years after Wanli. He was invited by King Jing to leave the mountain and take charge of the Governor's Office, which has won over a considerable number of people.

Han Qizhi glanced at the people who were talking, knocked on the cigarette pole, and said expressionlessly: "Don't talk nonsense! If you dare to discuss national affairs, you will never let go!"

Everyone immediately quit. Vice Court Han was the executioner of King Jing. It would be fine if he didn't speak, but he had more prestige than King Jing in the Governor's Office!

Han Qizhi stood up and left with his hands behind his back. As for Yu Chenglong's visit, I don't know where he went.

He has been in the Governor's Office for two years, his eyes are quiet and he is as clear as seeing the fire, and he can see many things clearly and clearly.

This imperial examination is clearly a huge watershed, which is related to the destiny of the Ming Dynasty and the future of everyone in the Ming Dynasty!

He couldn't judge the fate of the country, but he had already seen some people clearly. For example, Yu Chenglong was afraid that he would never return after leaving Beijing this time!

Imperial Palace, Renshou Hall.

Zhu Xu, Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Jun, Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu, Xiao Yongning and others gathered in front of the old concubine's bed, all with caution and breathing.

By the bed, a white-haired old man pressed the old concubine's pulse and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhu Xu's heart was raised to his throat, for fear of seeing the imperial physician stand up and shake his head at him.

Empress Dowager Zhang also had a condensation on her face, frowned, and saw Zhu Xu's appearance, patted his arm gently and whispered: "Don't worry, the old concubine is blessed and will not leave so quickly."

Zhu Xu had no idea, so he nodded reluctantly, still looking at the imperial physician who was taking the old concubine's pulse.

It took a while before the old doctor stood up tremblingly, turned around with some difficulty, and raised his hand to Zhu Xu, "Go back to the emperor, the concubine's veins are low, sometimes none, sometimes intermittent, and sometimes dangerous. Although it is dangerous, it should be fine tonight."

Zhu Xu frowned and said, "What will happen after tonight?"

The old doctor hesitated and said, "I will take the pulse of the concubine tomorrow."

Zhu Xu was about to say something again, Zhang Yun gently pulled Zhu Xu's arm and said, "Your Majesty, the old doctor is tired, so why not stay here today. If you have any questions, tell the emperor immediately."

Zhu Xu frowned, and had a bad premonition in his heart, but there was really nothing to do at this time. He suppressed his anxiety and waved his hand, saying, "Well, go, everyone else will go back too, just let me and the queen guard here."

Although Zhu Xu said this, the eyes of the people present turned around and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, her expression moved, she waved her hand quietly, and took Xiao Yongning away.

After Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu and others gave their salutes, they also quietly withdrew.

Zhu Xu sat in front of the bed with a serious expression. The old concubine was gone and she was still motionless now. If it weren't for the occasional ups and downs of the quilt, it would be the same as before.

Zhang Yun looked at the old concubine with a worried look on her face and turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I'm guarding for the middle of the night, so you can sleep for a while."

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "You go to bed first. I will come to guard the night before."

Zhang Yun pursed his lips without refuting. He asked someone to prepare some midnight snack and sat down at the table not far away.

Zhu Xu and his wife took turns to look at the old concubine. It was not until the next day that the old doctor came. It took a long time to say to Zhu Xu: "The old concubine's pulse is stable, and she will be fine for three or five days."

Zhu Xu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. While ordering someone to notify Empress Dowager Zhang and others, they looked for a while until Mr. Zhang was late and left.

There are too many affairs inside and outside the palace, and there are constant big and small things. Zhu Xu didn't have a moment of leisure. After washing up in the Ganqing Palace, he came to the cabinet hall.

The first memorial I picked up was the information obtained from North Korea from the Military Intelligence Department. It was said that 20,000 elite troops in Japan had already passed through the Guanmen Strait, and more and more food and grass were gathered on Kyuko Island. Obviously, the Tokugawa shogunate was going to do his best to completely resolve the Shimahara Rebellion.

Zhu Xu looked at the memorial, pondered and said, "When will Cao Bianjiao arrive in Beijing?"

Cao Huachun turned sideways and said, "It's expected that it will take only one or two days to go back to the emperor."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, picked up another memorial, and as soon as he opened it, Cao Huachun said again: "Emperor, the merchant in Japan has been guarding the inn, and the messenger of the Tokugawa Shogunate will also arrive in Beijing in the next two days."

Zhu Xu almost forgot about this, laughed and said, "They are here, let Fu Tao take him to see that Tianaka first. This picture must be interesting."

Cao Huachun smiled. These two groups of people were both Japanese and hostile, with ulterior motives and would not expose each other. The meeting must be very funny.

Zhu Xu laughed and opened the memorial in his hand. This was the memorial from the Ministry of Revenue, saying that the State Administration of Taxation has been established and various government orders have been gradually improved. Just wait for the actual announcement, and the taxation for next year will be completely handed over to the State Administration of Taxation. Finally, it also pointed out that the candidate for the official secretary of the State Administration of Taxation has not yet been decided, so he requested a sage.

Thinking about this memorial, Zhu Xu said to himself, "It's still early" and put it aside.

What he picked up was Sun Chengzong's memorial, saying that the "military reform" had been roughly completed and that various places were strictly enforcing and restraining it, but it would take two or three years to complete and consolidate it. He planned to return to Beijing before the end of the year, take charge of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and urge all places.

"Everyone is going to come back..."

Zhu Xu shook his head. These people are also mature. They all know that there will be big things at the end of the year. They come back in a hurry. After all, they are still worried about him.

Zhu Xu continued to flip through, followed by the memorial of King Jing and Wang Qiaonian.

Zhu Xu couldn't help but look seriously. These two works are very important to the Ming Dynasty's "New Deal". When the two officials went down to investigate, they naturally had another insight.

The first one is King Jing. His memorial was full of worries, saying that the local governor's office was "in vain everything and wasted all the time, even though he had authority, he was at a loss and was unable to use it."

He also described in detail what he saw and heard and the situation of open and secret investigations in various places, and concluded that "there is nothing more than this, and the absurd feelings are beyond the present."

Zhu Xu frowned and looked solemn.

The meaning of the memorial of King Jing is simple and clear. In fact, the Governor Yuan is a group of people who receive the salary of the court and hold authority, but in fact they do nothing, just live a life of silence and wait for death!

But King Jing changed his mind and said, "The new government is old and the people are at a loss. Although there are bad things, the feelings are understandable. And the governor is the only one, so no one can fight for it."

In other words, these people are old officials left by the previous dynasty and cannot fully understand the "new policy" in a short period of time. Moreover, the governor of a province is the largest, and the Governor's General Office also sees the face of the Governor's Office. How can it play a role in supervision?

Zhu Xu put the memorial book on the table, watching and pondering.

He did not expect this situation. It was not his original intention, but it was the reality. It has been an official position since ancient times, and it is ridiculous to supervise Shangguan!

However, the Governor's General Assembly cannot be granted the power of the Governor above the Governor, and the power of the censor cannot be expanded, otherwise the local government will be in chaos.

This is a realistic problem facing Zhu Xu.

"When Master Bi Ge returns to Beijing, let him come to me." Zhu Xu put together this memorial, picked up Wang Qiaonian's, and said casually.

"Yes." Cao Huachun, not far away, responded.
