Chapter 407: Severed career

While Man Jingcheng was arresting the Donglin Party, Zhang Woxu's actions also quickly unfolded.

Zhang Ixun is in his eighties and older, and he means that he has a deep experience and knows more people.

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, was invited by Zhang I, and one by one, one by one, was sent to Zhang I, the other by one.

The Ministry of Rites' actions were incredibly fast. People were drawn from all over the place, and "reporting points" were spread out in the capital. The originally bad public opinion was quickly reversed.

In a teahouse, a group of young people who looked like poor people gathered together, holding two open papers in their hands, while watching and discussing.

"I just said, how could the imperial court do whatever it takes!"

"Yes, at first I was fooled, now I'll take a closer look. Which one is not a good thing for the country and the people? It must be those stupid officials who framed the court for themselves!"

"Not allowed to visit prostitutes or stay in prostitutes, hehe, some people said before that this is a matter of elegance among literati, how can they be forbidden? Not to mention elegance or not, which of those brothel women is willing to come out and sell their laughter?"

"It's also a strange story. This is the first time he has heard that visiting prostitutes and staying in prostitutes can cultivate one's own character, write good articles, and serve the country more willingly!"

"Puff!"

The group of people laughed. They were all confused by the people from Donglin and Fushe. They had preconceived ideas. Now they carefully looked at the court's newspapers issued by the Ministry of Rites and then woke up. Think about it carefully, wasn't the "Nine Regulations" of the court set up specifically for those corrupt officials?

In another restaurant are some noble families and noble descendants.

Everyone has a court newspaper in their hands, which is the first issue issued by the Ministry of Rites.

"If you want me to say, the funniest thing is the 'combination and formation of party affairs'. People all over the world hate party struggles. Those people in Donglin even said 'state affairs are the key, and formation of party affairs is the next best'..."

"Haha, I remember that Mr. Donglin built Donglin Academy to hate the party struggles during the Wanli period. As a result, the Donglin Party became the biggest clique. It was so funny that I was so laughing..."

"If officials can form associations and gangs at will, then will the generals who hold heavy troops be able to do it..."

"This should be the funniest thing in recent decades. The joke of the Donglin Party has been enough for me to laugh for several years!"

Scholars in the capital were talking about this after dinner. The outer skin of the Donglin Party was stripped, and it became a situation where everyone shouted and beaten.

The three officials and officials jointly issued an announcement to convene a trial meeting to publicly judge Donglin and his followers. It can be considered earth-shaking in the capital.

The Donglin Guards who were still at their peak in the past few years all became prisoners overnight.

The most important thing is that public opinion is controlled by the court, and they have become the "evil party" among the evil party, and everyone is calling for it!

Wenhua Hall, side hall.

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan sat cross-legged, staring at the chessboard and playing chess.

The biggest characteristic of Sun Chengzong is his calmness and he is calm at any time. He is holding black chess and is slow to play.

Bi Ziyan's heart is a fierce tiger and agile in his work. He glanced at Sun Chengzong and smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, I must have some opinions on the emperor's actions?"

Sun Chengzong kept staring at the chessboard, and said slowly: "The atmosphere in Jiangnan is luxurious, the scholars are exaggerated, there are many people who are good at it. The north is full of droughts, disasters are like fire, and rumors are everywhere. This is the right time for the news."

Bi Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Did Lord Sun only see these?"

Then Sun Chengzong looked up at Bi Ziyan and said, "What do you mean by Lord Bi? You might as well say it bluntly."

Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chengzong and knew that this person was pretending to be confused, but he still needed to make some things clear and said directly: "Since Wanli, the party struggle has become increasingly fierce. After the emperor ascended the throne, the party struggle has been gradually eliminated. The Donglin Party has been driven into the Governor's Council, without power or power. The emperor's methods are enough to calm them down, but why is the emperor still so eager to kill them all?"

Sun Chengzong was still staring at the chessboard and said lightly: "The south is headed by Fushe, academies of all sizes, and over a hundred literary clubs. The people who joined are like the Jinji, tens of thousands, and all are headed by Donglin. They openly provoke the laws of the court. The court and the opposition are in harmony and the momentum are so great that the emperor naturally cannot tolerate it."

Bi Ziyan laughed 'hoo' and said, "Mr. Sun, why bother pretending to be confused? Judging from the emperor's past behavior, something must have happened. He was so anxious to clean up Donglin and suppress the riots in the south. I don't believe that Lord Sun didn't notice it at all?"

Then Sun Chengzong smiled faintly, threw down the chess piece in his hand, and said, "Mr. Bi is also in the center, and he can see the emperor at all times. Apart from military information, what can you hide from you? If you ask the emperor, how could the emperor hide it?"

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was still practicing Tai Chi, Bi Ziyan shook his head helplessly and said, "The atmosphere in Jiangnan is open, and there are many people in the north. There are more than 3,000 people who have restored the society. The Tiqi from the East Factory will inevitably be difficult to solve. I plan to ask for an order to go to Jiangnan."

The governance of the world depends on literati. We cannot suppress it blindly. The resumption of the society will inevitably be disbanded and will also cause a fierce backlash. If you want to comfort it, Bi Ziyan, the imperial teacher, is the best choice.

Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Since Lord Bi decides to go south, I won't go around in circles. Shaanxi/xi, Shan/xi, River/nan, Lake/Guang, Sichuan and other places are already thousands of miles away, and summer grain is destined to be greatly reduced. According to the observation of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, the drought has just begun. In the next few years, it will probably be even heavier. The food needed for disaster relief will cost more than one million stones every year, and it will increase year by year. In addition, Jiannu from Liaodong is also ready to move and may go south again at any time."

Bi Ziyan knew about the disaster this year, but did not expect the incident of the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau. In addition to Jiannu, he frowned and frowned. After a long time, he nodded and said, "I understand, I will go early and come back soon."

Hangzhou/Zhou Prefecture.

Zhou Weijing was the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture before, and was transferred to Zhejiang/Jiang’s governor. He was very familiar with Zhejiang/Jiang.

As a witness and participant of the reform of Nanzhili, he is full of confidence in the reform of Zhejiang/Jiang.

Originally, Zhu Xu planned to let Fu Zonglong be the governor of Liangjiang, but in the end, Sun Chengzong suggested to transfer Wang Yongguang, which also allowed the former Minister of War of Nanjing to play a second spring in his future.

Both of them came with strong "ambitions" and vowed to do it for the emperor and King Jing to see.

Inside the governor's yamen.

The lobby was full, with senators and political senators, and prefects from all over the country, and more than 30 people from all over the world. Zhou Weijing was extremely proud. No matter what, this was his former subordinate in Zhejiang/jiang.

These people were very excited. Not to mention that Zhou Weijing was already a governor and registered in front of the emperor, just talking about his mission this time, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was to follow the reform of Nanzhili. If you want to continue to be a stable official, you must curry favor with the old man in front of you!

Yuan Zhejiang/Jiangzuo Senator, Huang Dezhong looked at Zhou Weijing with a eager look and said, "Sir, since you know you are coming, you have prepared wine and food for a long time. You must enjoy the food."

Li Jiuchi, the governor of Hangzhou/zhou, also raised his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, you are the one who recommends the governor. It is better to stay at the governor tonight, which can be regarded as a welcome to you."

There is also a clerk in the Censorate, named Li Dongxu. His eyes were as small as a mouse, and he kept observing Zhou Weijing's expression. Seeing that he had been smiling but not speaking, he suddenly felt his heart moved and said, "Sir, the Censor has been in trouble for a long time. The lower officials are deeply saddened and helpless. They have sorted out their plans. If you have free time, you can go to the Censorate. The lower officials will definitely explain it in detail for the adults."

One of Zhou Weijing's tasks was to merge the governor and inspect the two departments. When he heard this, his eyes lit up, touched his beard, and said with a full face: "Okay, the government has been overwhelming for a long time. The emperor and the court are deeply worried. It is rare that Lord Li is very wise. Well, the governor's yamen is newly established, so Lord Li is defeated and served as the assistant to the Criminal Department for a period of time."

This is a fifth-rank senior official!

Li Dongxu was overjoyed, stood up with a constant expression and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for promotion, but the officials are only worried about national affairs. In addition, many scholars from Zhejiang and Jiang entered the Fushe Society, and even threatened to drive away the prefect of Hangzhou and Zhou and attack the government. This is no different from the bandits. Please punish the officials severely."

Everyone listened and secretly regretted that they didn't slap their flattery. Li Dongxu was a bright person and needed to walk around more.

Zhou Weijing's expression changed slightly as he listened to Li Dongxu's words, and looked at him and said, "This matter is indeed extraordinary. The emperor and the emperor were quite angry. The court rules have always been fair and strict, and they should not be slandered at will."

Li Dongxu was secretly happy. He had touched the pulse of the new governor, and said with no joy or sorrow on his face: "Sir, the subordinate has a plan."

Zhou Weijing was indeed worried about this matter. The remnants were filled with thousands of people. He really wanted to take ruthless measures, but he was afraid that he, the governor's yamen, would move to the governor's yamen to ensure safety.

He sent a little hope to the inconspicuous little official and said, "You said."

Li Dongxu looked up at Zhou Weijing and said, "As far as the officials know, the court intends to abolish the imperial examination and implement the Wenyuan system, and all prefectures and counties must set up academies. Adults may as well set up academies first, select students, and at the same time, they explicitly order to form associations and members of the party to make references. In this way, adults abide by the laws of the court and will not attract criticism. Secondly, reunite society and other things will be self-defeating."

Zhou Weijing's eyes glowed when he heard this. This was indeed a good idea. The most important thing was that he hid his sharpness and did not arouse the anger of the scholars of Zhejiang and Jiang, and could quietly divide the restoration of the society and Donglin, so that he could explain to the court, and also identify Zhejiang and Jiang officials and promote administrative reforms.

One kills multiple goals!

Zhou Weijing pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, leave this matter to you!"

"It's my lord!" Li Dongxu looked calm, but there was a generous voice in his tone.

The notice from the governor's yamen was quickly posted, and immediately, the government offices also posted notices with exactly the same content.

This was like a whirlwind, spreading rapidly throughout Zhejiang and Jiang.

Whether it is Donglin or Fushe, what they do is to "for the country and the people". The premise of "for the country and the people" is to be an imperial examination and to be an official.

The notice issued by the Governor's Office clearly stated that according to the imperial edict: "Form affiliation, form a clique" people are not allowed to refer to the Wenyuan, participate in the military exercise, and be an official for life. This is to completely cut off their career!

As smart scholars, they thought of a solution in the blink of an eye!
