At night, sinking. Yang, and running palace.

Zhu Xu flipped through the reports from all over the place, especially a secret message sent by the Jinyiwei from Jiangnan.

‘The collusion between officials and businessmen, and they want to run the money and benefit the business’.

In just eleven words, Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows several times.

Who in the world knows that Huitong Trading Company belongs to the emperor? This shows that after the official and business groups in Jiangnan lost control of the imperial court and local government affairs, their dissatisfaction with the imperial court had accumulated to a certain extent and they had to openly resist.

Zhu Xu picked it up, lit it, threw it into the brazier, squinted his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about something.

This time, the purge was mainly aimed at some middle and high-level officials. Then, the purge was the magistrates and the officials below.

But these people were the most extensive and grassroots group of people in the Ming Dynasty. They were connected to the middle and senior management such as prefects, governors, etc., and the following were the gentry and the scholars who entered the imperial examination. Their careers were often the same as the magistrate.

If this class is moved, the sound of rebound will have a great impact than before!

And then, it is the matter of Tianmu, which is what really leverages the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to stabilize it, in addition to the army, you need the firm support of a group of parents who can stabilize the place!

"Zhengyuan, don't let me down..." Zhu Xu said whispering. The first batch of the Zhengyuan graduates this year, and there will be a group of graduates every year in the future.

The "Tianmu Reform" was something he had planned for a long time, but the current situation in the Ming Dynasty was very bad.

The fertile fields are concentrated in the richest area in the south, and this area controls more than half of the economy of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from this area, the disasters in the southwest are like fire, and the north of the Yangtze River are not much better. The mountains, east, west, rivers, south and other places are also thousands of miles away, with no harvests everywhere.

On the one hand, fertile land is concentrated in the hands of the richest people, and on the other hand, most of the people except these people are now unable to eat.

If the wealthiest group of people touched, Daming would be in a mess if he accidentally did not!

Fortunately, Zhu Xu did a lot before, and the Southwest has already controlled it. Nothing will happen in a short period of time. It doesn’t take much energy. Liaodong will be fine for a while. You can concentrate on implementing his innovation plan.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xu couldn't help but look up at the south, towards the capital.

This time, the middle and high-level officials were cleaned up, and I don’t know how many impeachments were written by the emperor. However, as the emperor, Zhu Xu was always wise and powerful, and the blame was still Zhu Youjian.

"Brother," Zhu Xu thought of the word "black blame" and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not without any benefit to take the blame for me. In the future, most of the contributions of ZTE will be remembered on you! The greater the blame, the greater the contribution..."

It is obvious that Zhu Youjian is still indispensable for the two subsequent reforms.

"emperor……"

Zhu Xu was thinking, and Sun Chengzong walked in excitedly, bowed and said, "Yang Lin, Zhu Mei sent a message back, they found the sea outlet and found some places that could be reclaimed. This is the map they drew."

Zhu Xu was happy and hurriedly took it over and spread it on the table.

The map was very simple, but Zhu Xu still saw the outline of the sea cucumber, Weiwei, Kuye Island. He looked carefully for a while and said, "Well, the two of them did a good job! Lord Sun, let's arrange for the navy to build a base there as soon as possible. To build a city as soon as possible, it is better than Shenyang. He is dedicated to building a big city, and all artillery and firearms must be sufficient, and food, grass, and salary must be indispensable. The army is 30,000 and the population is 100,000. I want to build another province here..."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he vaguely felt that this was the emperor's enthusiasm for expanding territory and part of the emperor's 'martial arts'. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect and said, "Abide by the order, I will definitely speed up the arrangements."

Zhu Xu nodded, his heart was surging, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the blank part in the sea again. It was Japan. He narrowed his eyes and said, "The navy must speed up the drill and landing attack, especially with the cooperation of artillery firearms."

Zhu Xu turned his head a little quickly. Sun Chengzong was stunned and immediately said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu stared at the map, and his fingers couldn't help but outline it again, from north to south, now in the northern and southern Momo, the southern Momo, the Junggar, the western Tibet, and all the way to Southeast Asia. Then he knocked on the peninsula and was ready to go south next year.

Seeing that Zhu Xu had not spoken, Sun Chengzong pondered and said, "Your Majesty, have you heard about Shangshu Zhou and King Xin?"

Zhu Xu ummed out loud and did not say 'yes' or 'no'.

Zhou Yingqiu's words were not taught by him, but it was Zhou Yingqiu who had figured out his thoughts.

Now the Ming Dynasty needs to concentrate on promoting reforms and cannot let Zhu Youjian continue to make small moves in it. In addition, Zhu Xu needs Zhu Youjian!

There are two reasons for this. First, the subsequent touch is getting bigger and bigger. He needs a person who has enough weight and takes the blame after the reform is completed. The "illegal" cannot be the court, let alone the emperor!

The second is that the prime minister cannot be an outsider, and Zhu Xu cannot let the party struggle start again. Even if King Xin suddenly falls, he still has a prepared King Jing, and he will never be an outsider!

Zhou Yingqiu guessed Zhu Xu's thoughts and specifically hit Zhu Youjian.

Sun Chengzong didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, and suggested: "Emperor, King Xin is a prince after all. If it weren't for the will of the late emperor and the support of Donglin at that time, it would be impossible for the regent. Now he is going to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet. There are many discussions in the court and the opposition, and rumors are everywhere. I believe that it is time for King Xin to be a vassal."

Now the Ming Dynasty has no more vassals. Sun Chengzong’s intention is to believe that the king will leave the palace and be a leisurely prince.

Zhu Youjian has been in Wenzhao Pavilion for nearly five years. He has no problem with his moral character. He is even diligent, disciplined himself, respected the wise and the poor, and devoted himself to the country.

This person, from these aspects alone, is indeed a very good person. He can't even give the title of "gentleman". However, as a superior, his shortcomings are too obvious.

Narrow suspicion, mean and ruthless, repeated actions, eager for quick success and instant benefits, etc.

Those around him would not be able to find these things in a long time. There was almost no one around him who could trust, and they changed constantly like passing clouds.

Liu Shimin from the capital came from time to time, and Zhu Xu also read a lot of brief words, all of whom impeached Zhu Youjian, Zongdao and others, including Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu's supporters.

Now even Sun Chengzong, who has never been involved in party disputes, is this a success of Zhu Xu's design or a failure of Zhu Youjian as a human being?

Zhu Xu glanced at Sun Chengzong and smiled and said, "I have my own opinions on this matter. By the way, you will go to North Korea in person tomorrow. No, Lord Yuan will go there. He must loudly scold the whole country and his tone must be severe, so that the Northern Navy can move again to scare them."

When Sun Chengzong saw Zhu Xu change the subject, he knew that he had made up his mind, so he had to follow the conversation and said, "Yes, I will go to pass the order later."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "We must also seize the cultivation of Liaodong. After the spring of next year, we must increase our efforts. If necessary, we can transfer troops from the pass to resettle the victims. We cannot wait."

Sun Chengzong said: "Yes, I plan to force the prisoners, beggars and others in China to Liaodong..."

Zhu Xu's expression moved and said, "Not only, in this way, I have asked the governors' yamen and the Dongchang to launch a nationwide crackdown on illegal people. What kind of rogues, scoundrels, scoundrels, scoundrels, harm one side, harm the village, and cannot be governed normally, arrest them together and send them to Liaodong..."

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly and said, "This is a solution. After I return to the capital, I will discuss with King Xin."

Zhu Xu nodded. Sun Chengzong followed him for a long time, and he knew what should be done to King Xin and what he could not give to him.

Seeing that Zhu Xu did not continue, Sun Chengzong said with a moment of thought: "You may ask the emperor, are you planning on the date of returning to the capital?"

Zhu Xu stayed in Liaodong, basically to stabilize the people's hearts, and wait for news from the north. Now it's basically over. He thought about it and said, "In two days, by the way, we can draft candidates for various provinces to enter Beijing. At the beginning of next year, I will talk about the court affairs with my ministers and discuss the national affairs... Let the six ministries and the king of Xin prepare, don't be too ugly at that time, everyone in the world is watching..."

Sun Chengzong looked solemn and said, "Abide by the order."

This conference will indicate where the Ming Dynasty should go, and will also be a screening of the middle and high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty!

After receiving the order, Yuan Keli wanted to set off immediately.

He was very dissatisfied with the current king of North Korea. The king sent envoys to Beijing repeatedly and asked the Ming Dynasty to revise the "Records of the Emperor Shenzong" and delete and modify their king's "anyway" and beautify them.

Such shameless behavior naturally made Yuan Keli furious and could no longer bear it.

After receiving the order, he immediately dispatched troops and ordered the main force of the Northern Navy to go to the direction of Han and the city.
