Chapter six hundred and forty-eight lectures
On the second day, Zhu Xu wore a regular dress and a folding fan, and came to the governor's yamen without any haste.
"I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Huang Chengyuan and Yan Mingtai led a group of civil and military officials from the east of the mountain to welcome Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu brought Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, and two hundred imperial guards. Although he was wearing regular clothes, he was full of majesty.
"Plain your body, go in and talk." Zhu Xu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Huang Chengyuan and Yan Mingtai led a group of people, most of whom were very nervous, and few people dared to treat them calmly.
Now it is Jingzheng Dynasty, not Tianqi or Wanli. The court officials can beat the emperor with chicken feathers.
Zhu Xu came to the lobby, looked at it, nodded slightly, plain and low-key, without any luxury.
Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao were listed on both sides of him.
After Zhu Xu sat down, a group of officials came in one after another and bowed and stood in front of him.
In addition to the Governor's Office and the Governor's Office, there are also prefects from all over the country, with about 30 people, which is considered as the management of Shandong.
"Sit all." Zhu Xu picked up the tea next to him and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The group of people raised their hands again, sat down with civil and military personnel, and then they all turned slightly, waiting for Zhu Xu to speak.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, then looked at everyone, and said calmly with a smile, "I have many purposes for going south this time. One of them is to let officials who have never seen me and I have never seen me, let us meet each other to avoid misunderstandings."
The words "Don't live a misunderstanding" made everyone's hearts pound. The emperor in front of him was Jing Zheng, who killed someone if he had a disagreement!
Everyone became more and more respectful, fearing that something would really be "misunderstood" by the emperor.
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhu Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be nervous, I don't eat anyone, well, let's talk first, let's relax."
Huang Chengyuan looked solemn. Just as he was about to get up, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "We are just talking about family matters today. There is no need to stand, just sit and talk."
Huang Chengyuan hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and sat down, saying, "Go back to the emperor, the ministers in the mountains and east are already skilled in all aspects of government affairs, and the governor's office and officials from all over the country are very supportive. The ministers on the "New Policy" have also been launched, and it is now going well."
Zhu Xu 'huh' said, which was also a common method for court officials to deal with him as an emperor, and was "concise and to the point" and "no content".
"Governor Yan, tell me?" Zhu Xu's voice raised a little.
Everyone immediately knew that Zhu Xu was dissatisfied with Huang Chengyuan's answer. Yan Mingtai did not dare to continue the routine and quickly said, "When you go back to the emperor, the Governor's Office has drawn 5,000 elite soldiers and generals, and plans to wipe out all the bandits in the east to the west. It is expected that the mountain will be restored within half a year. The east is stable and the people will live and work in peace."
“It’s good to have a plan and a determination!”
Zhu Xu commented, and turned to look at the others in Yan Mingtai's smile and said, "Does anyone else have anything to say? Is the prefect of Ji Nan coming?"
Zhu Xu sat inside that day, and several people here knew each other, but they all shrank their heads and held their breath and focused.
Huang Chengyuan's expression moved slightly, and he raised his hand and said, "Go back to the emperor, Prime Minister Yang will take leave."
Zhu Xu naturally knew every move of Yang Fengzhong. He picked up the teacup and smiled without saying a word.
The confrontation between Huang Chengyuan and Yang Fengzhong that day was actually a confrontation between the court's "New Deals" and the "conservatives". From the result, it should be that the "New Deals" won a great victory, and the "conservatives" were brewing a counterattack.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Don't be restrained, if you have anything to say, let's be honest and speak freely today."
Zhu Xu said this, and the people below were even more afraid to speak.
Except for a few people, their understanding of the emperor is either the glorious and upright newspapers or the word of mouth is "brutal and unvirtuous". No matter which one of them is, the audience dare not speak nonsense and be cautious in their words and actions.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Suddenly, in the dead silence, a man stood up and said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at it and looked slightly shocked. It was the prefect of Tai Anfu and Feng Deyuan.
Zhu Xu didn't know him, and Cao Huachun was already whispering in his ear.
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes. He remembered that he had been in Tai An before and broke the Young Master Feng's leg and asked the Governor's Office to investigate. It seemed that Feng Deyuan was very capable and appeared in front of him safely!
However, it was obvious that Feng Deyuan didn't know that Zhu Xu ordered the beating that day. Zhu Xu smiled calmly and said, "Well, I like to listen to the truth."
Feng Deyuan stood in front of Zhu Xuzheng, raised his hand and said in a stern manner: "Emperor, I believe that the court has three major disadvantages!"
Even Huang Chengyuan was shocked. Huang Chengyuan was really deadly. He was so shocked! Who wouldn’t know that the court’s policy did not come from the cabinet, but from the emperor in front of him!
This is a death sentence!
Zhu Xu had a more smile on his face, looked at Feng Deyuan and said, "By your courage alone, I will look at him with admiration. The court officials have the duty of advising the court and giving advice to the court. If there are any problems, you can't hide them. You said, I will listen carefully!"
Feng Deyuan is less than fifty years old this year, with a slightly fat face, a burning gaze, raising his hand, bowing, and said in a deep voice in a determined tone that moves forward: "Thank you, the emperor. First, I believe that the court's disaster relief strategy has disadvantages, including losses, disposal, robbed by officials and businessmen, etc., and it is actually in the hands of the victims. There are less than one or two left. I believe that disaster relief needs to be based on the local government, otherwise half the result will be half the result with twice the effort, and the loss will not be worth the loss."
Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "It's right. Someone has told me before that I am reflecting on it and asking the cabinet to re-examine it and continue to speak."
Feng Deyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart beat faster. He was gambling this time, and he knew that the governor's yamen was secretly investigating him. The only way to save himself was the emperor in front of him!
He was like a loyal and fearless hero who was a country, and he raised his hand and said again: "Second, I believe that the court is unethical and should not use a butcher knife to the Shilin!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the whole hall became quieter.
Dozens of Donglin Party members were executed in the court, and then how much storm caused, the gentry is still criticizing it. It can be said that this is a "reverse scale" of the imperial court and the emperor, and it cannot be touched!
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and his fingers were already tapping on the table next to him.
Although Zhu Xu felt a little impulsive about the matter of the Donglin Party back then, it was necessary, and it was just a matter of time. He was at ease, but the court officials were in court and in their hearts, and they had grudges about this matter, as if they were in the throat.
Today, Feng Deyuan proposed that perhaps he has selfish intentions, but it is also a threshold that the Shilin class cannot avoid, and there will be different statements in historical books in the future.
Zhu Xu slammed his finger and looked up and said, "This is not the court, but the decision I made. The Donglin Party formed a party with privacy, and the disasters were beyond the rules. The world looked at it, saying "all righteousnesses are full of courts", what is righteousness, how did it come about? What is the "evil party", who decided to take it? Since Zhang Taiyue, the atmosphere of the court and the country has changed drastically, and everyone hates forming a party, which one does not? Since the Emperor Tianqi, Donglin has controlled the government affairs, rejected dissidents, and arranged close confidants, and gambling the world! Today I want to say, those who sympathized with the Donglin Party, wanted to rebuild the Donglin Party, regarded it as a sage, and tried to form a party again, destroy the court's principles... I will never allow it! Once, I killed once, and once a hundred times, I killed one hundred times!"
"I am guilty!"
The people in the hall were horrified by Zhu Xu's murderous words, and stood up in a hurry and raised their hand to confess.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and looked at Feng Deyuan and said lightly: "Say third."
Feng Deyuan's eyes were scared and the corners of his face twitched slightly.
I thought the emperor would use the rampage to soften his words and comfort the Shilin, but I didn't expect that he would get such a murderous sentence, which would have lost all the favor he had just earned, and he could only rely on the last one.
"third,"
Feng Deyuan raised his hand and said, "I believe that the 'Nine Regulations' promulgated by the court are too strict, without any buffering, and too rigid. I suggest that if there is a three to five years of suspension, it will be reported to the world. If so, the matter of Lord Yang Fengzhong will not happen, so that Ji, Nan, Shandong and even the court will be blind..."
Huang Chengyuan and others looked at each other secretly, and shook their heads slightly.
This Lord Feng is indeed ignorant of the current affairs. These "nine regulations" were proposed by the emperor two years ago, and it will take another three or five years to wait. Who is he slapped in the face? In particular, Yang Fengzhong was mentioned. The emperor was there at that time and witnessed everything. He was not a advice, but he was clearly on the way to death!
