Jingyang Palace, in the side hall.

Zhu Xu and Fu Tao were drinking tea and talking about the post station.

Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his finger and slowly said, "Brother, first of all, the post station must be ours. Except for us, everyone else needs to spend money on it, whether it is the government or the court. Second, there must be three lines, one is to leave it for the government office, the second is to give it to the people, wealthy businessmen, etc., and the third is to use it for military information, Jinyiwei, etc., which is a hidden line..."

Fu Tao listened carefully. The station is still very important and is the most important tool to connect with all parts of the country. Not to mention the government, but just talking about the use of stations by the private sector, it will be at least one million yuan a year! If you are well-managed, you are sure to earn two or three million yuan a year.

Zhu Xu's words continued: "We must purify the officials in advance, eliminate the power of officials, select trusted people, clear up the stations in various places, and the people who have given you your ideas will be taken care of for me. Any rash moves must be reported..."

Fu Tao nodded seriously. There was a small notebook on the table, holding a charcoal-gray stick in his hand, recording hard on the paper.

"If it is improved and strengthened in the future, you can also do things such as escort and delivery. I will order the Ministry of Works to build it first along the official road of the post station. The road is smooth and the road is safe along the way, no worse than the canal transportation..."

Zhu Xu was simply talking about his idea. After a while, he stopped and said, "Well, that's about it. I'll talk about it later, brother, tell me yours."

Fu Tao put down his pen and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, I think that if you want to clean up the post station and completely become the emperor, you must first eliminate the power of the local government so that they dare not touch it."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, I will let the Dongchang intervene, and you should also keep an eye on it. If the Dongchang is not in the rules, I will beat Wei Zhongxian's board."

Fu Tao smiled suddenly in his heart and said with a tense face: "The second is that the investment in the early stage may be relatively large, and the return time will be long."

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "This is not a problem, it is mainly necessary to control it well and remove the ills of the station."

Fu Tao also thought to himself that other problems could be solved by him, and said, "There are no other problems for the time being. In addition, Master, I heard that the foreign court has a lot of opposition?"

This opposition refers to opposing the abolition of the post station. The post station seems to be of no use to the court, but it is of great use and indispensable to those who rely on the post station to suck blood and take advantage of it.

Although Wen Zhaoge's memorial had not yet been released and Zhu Xu had not issued an order, the city was already full of wind and rain outside the palace. Liu Mao was impeached, and Wen Zhaoge's memorial could not wait to fly into the Tongzheng Envoy Department.

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Let's not care about this. Wen Zhaoge decided to give Brother Xin a headache."

Fu Tao also smiled and told Zhu Xu carefully about his plan for the reform of the station.

In fact, the whole capital is now shocked by the imperial court's hundreds of years of history and then he ran around to tell him.

Whether it is Zhu Youjian, Yang Lian and the Donglin Party, they are trying every means to protect the Censorate. This is an extremely sharp weapon. It seems to have no power, but it is enough to deter all officials in the world!

How Zhao Nanxing let the Donglin Party dominate the court, how did he expel all the "evil Party" from the court, and eliminate the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, and Kun Party because he held the Censorate!

In the Beijing Procuratorate, hundreds of officials were demoted, and even the entire cabinet bowed to him. Whoever would not be moved by such power would give up!

The Donglin Party members gathered rapidly, and everyone realized that the Donglin Party had reached the brink of danger.

The six ministries and nine temples in the capital, the governors, the censors, the prefectures and counties outside the capital, and the civil servants and military generals inside and outside the capital, stood surprisingly on Yang Lian's side, a huge force was approaching rapidly.

East Factory Prison.

In the clean and comfortable cell, there is a table of hearty wine and food.

Wang Wenyan sat cross-legged and ate in big mouthfuls, with an urgent expression and a scent of a cow.

He was wearing a prison uniform, with disheveled hair, and was covered in wounds. He was bleeding in some places. It was obvious that he had just been tortured.

Wang Wenyan sat opposite Shuntian Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture and Fan Jingwen.

Fan Jingwen did not move his chopsticks, frowned and looked ugly. He did not expect that after so long, Dongchang was still torturing Wang Wenyan like this.

Wang Wenyan was like a starving ghost. After eating for a while, she raised her head and breathed deeply. Looking at Fan Jingwen's expression, she knew what he was thinking. She smiled indifferently and said, "I almost killed the eunuch at the beginning. He was so angry that he was not a big deal. If I had the power, I would not let him go."

Fan Jingwen heard that he still had a mouthful of Jianghu's anger, nodded gently and said, "I'll find a way to rescue you after I go back."

Wang Wenyan made friends all over the world, and Fan Jingwen also received his favors.

Wang Wenyan grabbed a chicken in his hand, took a bite, then took a sip of wine, muttering, "No need, Wei Yi can't do anything to me. Don't look at him being proud of himself now, I dare to conclude that sooner or later he will have to be in a different body and head!"

Wang Wenyan thought that no matter how powerful you are, the evil people will not have a good ending, it is just a matter of time.

What Fan Jingwen thought of was that the Donglin Party had not rescued him for so long, and Wang Wenyan was discouraged.

He was not sure and pondered: "You should know that the emperor intends to abolish the Censorate and merge it into the Governor's Office. Now the whole of Donglin is trembling and trying every means to stop it..."

Wang Wenyan sneered and said, "You still can't understand it? The emperor is different from the late emperor, and even more different from the Shenzong. He hates party struggles so he naturally hates me Donglin even more. As long as the word "Donglin" is in one day, he will not allow the Donglin people to stand in the court again. The abolition of the Censorate should be the last step in his plan, let alone Yang Dahong, and the King Xin can't stop the emperor..."

Fan Jingwen shook his head and said, "You don't understand the situation in the capital now. Everyone gathered in Donglin. Donglin supports King Xin. Now it is more popular than it was a few years ago!"

Wang Wenyan was stunned. He didn't expect this. After thinking about it carefully, the emperor tried his best to attack the righteous people represented by Donglin. Didn't this force them to be more united? At the beginning, Donglin was still surrounded by mountains and there were endless internal strife. If he could unite now, it would definitely be an unimaginable force!

He put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he said to himself: "If this is the case, it's not impossible..."

Fan Jingwen was on Ye Xianggao's order to get advice. His eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Wang, what's the best way?"

Wang Wenyan looked at him, her face full of injuries, and she could not see her previous 'chirgy'. She still said with a word of righteousness, and said carefully: "First of all, we cannot force ourselves. Our new emperor is not a tough person. In the past, we did nothing. The first step is to find ways to stop the government affairs of the six ministries, and do nothing, and do nothing. The second step is to find some great scholars with outstanding reputation to write articles to elaborate on the harm of the abolition of the Censorate, especially when it comes to the ancestral system. The words should be earnest and not attack anyone, especially the emperor. The third step is to invite some old masters to the palace to meet the concubine, and say nothing, just visit and chat about family matters..."

Fan Jingwen was very impressed when he listened to Wang Wenyan's words. Wang Wenyan's words can be summed up in nine words: "Show strength, reason, and human feelings." Is there anything difficult in the world that cannot be solved by these nine words?

This trip is really the right one!

Fan Jingwen and Wang Wenyan got closer and whispered to discuss the details, and then left the prison.

On the side of the post station outside the capital, willow branches float.

Miao Changqi looked at Li Yingsheng in front of him, looking worried and reluctant.

Li Yingsheng was the Censor of Fu/Jiandao. Once the court sacked the Kedao, he did not want to enter the Governor's Office, nor did he want to stay in the unfair capital, so he resigned and returned to his hometown today.

Miao Changqi is also a veteran figure in Donglin. He has a wide range of friends. Every time the Donglin people leave Beijing sadly, he comes to see you off, and no one falls behind.

Li Yingsheng was silent for a while and sighed: "Brother Miao, the current emperor is stubborn and does not listen to loyal opinions, so that the treacherous and treacherous are rampant and the chaos of politics is unprecedented. Now it is difficult for people to be upright, and there is no place to stand. Only those who are wise and protect themselves and wait for the future."

Miao Changqi also sighed lightly and said, "Brother Li, let's go. Now the righteous people gather in the capital. The eunuchs are no longer as arrogant as before. The emperor is young and will eventually grow up. The day is not far away when the emperor is full of power."

Li Yingsheng also experienced the party struggle between Wanli and Tianqi years. He had a premonition that the party struggle will be more intense in the future than before. This is also the reason why he resigned from office. He couldn't say anything in his heart and raised his hand and said, "If you part today, you will not expect later. Brother Miao, take care of yourself!"

Miao Changqi could only sigh again and bow to see Li Yingsheng away.

Li Yingsheng left the carriage slowly, and Miao Changqi slowly approached a young man who looked like a minor official behind and said, "Sir, it's the big thing now, why don't you try to keep Lord Li?"

Miao Changqi shook his head, looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and sighed: "This time, if I fail, I can only resign and return home."

The young man looked terrified. He heard from Miao Changqi's words that the Donglin Party was going to make a desperate bet this time.

In a blink of an eye, there was nothing in the capital. There were crowds of people walking on the streets and traveling, and there was no feeling of the storm in the officialdom.

The Ministry of Revenue, Fu Changzong handled the government affairs for a day, packed up his things, and prepared to return home.

As soon as he was about to leave, he felt a move in his heart and said to the doorman outside: "Have you arrived at the Zhejiang/Jiangsuo political assistant?"

Zhu Xu's next step is to purify the officialdom of Zhejiang, Jiang and Jiangxi, so Fu Changzong also paid great attention to it.

The concierge turned around and said, "Sir, Doctor Huang took a sick leave not long ago. The music should have been locked in his room. It will take a few days."

Fu Changzong frowned and looked at the doorman and said, "How many days in? How many days has he asked for a leave?"

The doorman bowed there and said, "Sir, three days."

It is common for officials to ask for leave, but Fu Changzong was not surprised and could not pick the lock. He could only wait. While crossing the threshold, he said, "The memorials behind were sent to Doctor Li, so he would send them to me tomorrow."

The concierge quickly turned around and took a step with Fu Changzong, saying, "Sir, Doctor Li has also taken three days off."

Fu Changzong didn't think much about it, and opened his mouth and said, "Then send it to Doctor Han."

The concierge couldn't hold it in this time, looked around, walked closer and whispered: "Sir, now more than 20 people have asked for leave in the entire Ministry of Revenue, and Doctor Han has also invited it."

Fu Changzong paused, and finally realized something was wrong, and said calmly: "What's going on?"

The concierge looked around again, hid behind the pillar, and said nervously to Fu Changzong: "Sir, it's not just our Ministry of Revenue, but also more than 100 officials of all sizes in the six ministries, and there are more than 100 people taking leave, which is still increasing."

Fu Changzong's face darkened and finally realized that the matter was serious.

This is not an occasional leave, but someone is planning behind the scenes. If he has such ability, except Zhu Xu, the Donglin Party can do it. Wei Zhongxian seems to be powerful, but he can't do it either.

He looked at the doorman and said with a calm face: "How long has it been?"

The concierge looked a little nervous. He was not of the grade and was not qualified to take leave. He bent carefully and said, "It's what happened today. Not long after, less than half an hour, the people who took leave were lined up with the Minister."

Fu Changzong frowned, his expression changed, and he was solemn and solemn.

The Donglin Party’s large-scale “offering” is even more terrifying than the dismissal of hundreds of officials. Hundreds of people taking leave is enough to paralyze the government affairs of the six ministries.

The most important thing is that the Ministry of Revenue has been purged by him. Half an hour passed, and he actually knew about it by chance!

Fu Changzong glanced at the gatekeeper, without saying much, turned around and quickly walked out of the Ministry of Revenue, heading to the palace in a carriage.

At the same time, Zhou Yingqiu of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Dahua of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Woxu of the Ministry of Rites, and even Shen Yongmao of the Ministry of War were anxious and rushed to the palace after leaving their respective yamen.

The Donglin Party is almost everywhere, and the relationship network is complicated. Such a big move really scared them.

Just when several great ministers were eager to enter the palace, an article about affairs was circulated among major academies, literary associations, and scholars in the capital.

This was written by Zou Qingshan, the son of Zou Yuanbiao. He is also a great writer with strong writing skills and writing, and has a huge influence in the literary world.

Most importantly, his identity is also very special. His father Zou Yuanbiao is a veteran of Donglin. He is known as the "Three Gentlemen of Donglin" and has a special status within the Donglin Party.

His articles did not curse, and his words were not fierce. They were all about matters and said, "The Censorate cannot be abolished, and it is the ancestral system."

The article is reasonable and well-founded, and the words are plain and very popular among scholars. This incident is circulating rapidly, and a magnificent voice of criticism rolls in the capital.

In Renshou Hall, Zhou Jiamo, who was over 80 years old, sat tremblingly at the head of Concubine Liu, laughing with Concubine Liu, talking about some old past events, and looking like he was about to die, he came to say goodbye before he died.

Concubine Liu was very optimistic, and Zhou Jiamo sighed for a while.

They are all over 80 years old, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The more you chat like this, the more you can arouse people's feelings.

This time, the Donglin Party did not fiercely encircle the palace, nor did it launch a full-blown attack. In the ordinary, the pressure of a mountain surged into the palace.
