The system reform in the seventh year of Jingzheng in the Ming Dynasty was basically carried out around "centralization", especially the demotion of the Ministry of Justice, which greatly affected the Ming Dynasty. The other five ministries and various departments seemed to have expanded their power, but in fact they were more concentrated on the cabinet.

Sun Chuanting's authority as the chief minister has been further strengthened, and he has already had an unparalleled impression.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting's power tentacles were extended through these departments to the capital, especially in the local area. Sun Chuanting was like a mountain, and the authority of each department was further strengthened invisibly, and its impact on the local area was immeasurable.

At the same time, such a huge reform has given too many opportunities for those who are interested. Even after the New Year, the most grand festival, Lantern Festival, is right in front of you, and the capital is still unable to be peaceful. The ghosts and monsters appear one after another, and it is difficult to stop.

Zhu Xu in the deep palace seemed to have no idea about the outside world, and was having dinner at Cining Palace with Empress Dowager Zhang, who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Xiao Yongning seemed to have become sensible this time, sitting in an extremely well-behaved manner, no longer mumbling and rolling his eyes before.

Zhu Xu looked at Empress Dowager Zhang's rosy face and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are a little fatter than before."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at him angrily and said, "Be serious, you want to go, I won't go."

Empress Dowager Zhang talked about the harem going to Chengde to escape the summer heat together. Empress Dowager Zhang was worried and was unwilling to leave the palace where he had lived for almost twenty years.

Zhu Xu had already expected it and said, "It's okay if Chengde doesn't go, and it's not bad in Beidaihe. I'll make arrangements for the emperor's sister-in-law to calm down and take care of my health, so as to save me from being worried."

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and said, "I won't go anywhere. Just worry about your business more and don't bother me. By the way, where is that Li Rujing now?"

Li Rujing, also known as Li Dingguo.

Xiao Yongning raised his mouth, seemed a little dissatisfied, but had no reaction.

Zhu Xu glanced at the little girl and had a headache. This girl was not interested in Li Dingguo at all, and she didn't look like she was in love at all.

Empress Dowager Zhang was obviously a little anxious. Zhu Xu thought to talk to Empress Dowager Zhang in private later and could not hang himself on Li Dingguo's tree. He said calmly: "I arranged for him to guard the outer court and be in the palace."

Queen Mother Zhang was a little satisfied and glanced at the graceful Li Xiangjun standing next to her, and said, "Well, the queen is about to give birth. Is the Guo Tai entering the palace?"

Zhu Xu said: "Well, Queen, Xingzi has someone to take care of, so the emperor's sister-in-law is more at ease."

Queen Mother Zhang nodded and said, "If I could add a few more royal heirs, I wouldn't force you to choose a concubine. I heard that you have been very fond of Zhao Xuanshi recently? Why don't you like the other one?"

Empress Dowager Zhang is talking about Zhao Jing. Recently, Zhu Xu has spent more nights in her yard.

Zhu Xu’s biggest headache was these things, and he said with a smile: “I will deal with it properly. My sister-in-law should continue to worry about Yongning.”

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that Zhu Xu didn't like these after surgery, so she glared at him and said, "No one of you can make me worry-free! I won't go either Chengde or Beidaihe. If you don't want me to stay in the palace, I will stay in Qingchen Temple outside the city for a while."

Qingchen Temple is located in Wufu Mountain not far from the capital. It is a quiet place, as famous as Yunwu Mountain, and a holy place for rest and recuperation.

Empress Dowager Zhang watched Zhu Xu grow up, and obviously noticed something from his words and made arrangements in disguise.

Zhu Xu had the most helplessness to Empress Dowager Zhang. He listened to her words and could only agree that it was safer outside the city than inside the city.

Zhu Xu turned to look at Yongning and said, "You go with me too, don't cause trouble for me. Don't run around if you have nothing to do, read some books."

The little girl glanced at Zhu Xu and lowered her head to make rice.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhang didn't say anything again and called Zhu Xu to dinner.

Zhu Xu was having a meal, but the outer court was not idle.

Regarding the land division plan for next year, the cabinet appointed Li Banghua, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to take the lead, and dispatched more than 80 people from the five departments of the cabinet, including some local officials, to establish a "Qingtian Special Group" to specifically handle this year's land division plan.

The official office of this special group is on the second floor of the Cabinet Building. It is a system of the parliamentary agency and has nothing to do with the Cabinet.

Li Banghua and others have already started to be busy. They have received land from the Royal Trading Group, sent people to the local area to check and arrange personnel to prepare for measurement. At the same time, they have to check the registered victims to ensure that they are correct and then coordinate the allocation.

These are huge, complex, time-consuming and labor-intensive things. Even if you prepare in the early stage, it is still a huge project.

Now it is still the annual holiday. Most officials are on holiday. Some people are still very smart. They are staring at this piece of fat and are ready to make a fortune!

All the governors and other governors left Beijing one after another and returned to their territory.

It can be imagined that a storm is about to strike.

In the eighth year of Jingzheng, the fourteenth year of Jingzheng in history, March 16th, Shenyang.

Today, Shenyang is the core of the three provinces of Liaodong, and roads from all directions lead here. Not only the original Naihua City of Chahar, the official road in Shenyang also crosses the Yalu River and leads to Pyongyang and Seoul in North Korea. It is also planned to run through North Korea and lead to Busan.

Liaodong has been heavily renovated in recent years, coupled with the continuous development of commerce and trade, which has attracted the gathering of North Korea, Mongolia and other tribes, and has become a bustling big city.

A escort cart left the city from Shenyang, and a strong half-bian in front of him was shaking the whip on the head of the escort cart, and he still gave a loud lesson.

"Everyone reminds me. This is the medicinal material purchased by Manager Chen, worth tens of thousands of taels. If there is any mistake, I can't afford this old bone!"

Behind him a group of people were riding horses or following, guarding around five large carriages.

Behind the head of the detachment, a very heroic woman in her early twenties rushed forward and said in a relaxed tone, "Dad, don't worry, this place is not Shaanxi and Sichuan, there are no bandits. Now the official road is smooth, as long as we enter the barrier, nothing else will happen."

The head of the archer snorted coldly and said, "What do you know about movies? I don't know how many people come to Liaodong to find gold. This batch of medicinal materials is in a hurry. If you miss the time, the price will definitely drop sharply. If you miss the time, the time will be missed, and the storekeeper Chen can't make money, and we can't get it..."

The woman came to the head of the wardrobe and said affirmatively: "Dad, don't worry, there is no snow. This official road is so spacious that it will not affect the journey even if it rains. It will definitely not delay."

"That's not what you know. It is said that the three provinces of Liaodong are preparing to divide the land that has been reclaimed, with tens of thousands of hectares. Now I don't know how many victims are preparing to enter the pass. If we are blocked on the road or at the door, we will cry but not cry."

Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but say curiously: "Dad, are you really going to separate this place?"
