The sun sets west and the afterglow is shining.

Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Xu sat on a chair and looked through the book. Except for the sound he made, the entire imperial study room could be heard.

Cao Huachun stood on his left, looking at his eyes, nose, nose and heart.

Xiao Yongning stood not far from the right, pursing his little mouth, looking at Zhu Xu with tears in his eyes, looking pitiful.

Zhu Xu seemed to have never seen him. He turned over the memoir in his hand and his face never looked good.

The more the year comes, the more things happen, either impeachment or disaster reporting, or civil unrest, it is at this time when the civil unrest period is at a high incidence. The Governor's Offices in various places reported that there were hundreds of incidents in less than a month, covering all parts of the country, and even in Yun. There was a chieftain rebellion in the south, with a scale of 5,000 people. It once captured prefectures and counties. The general Zuo Liangyu almost used the regular army. As a result, the local Governor's Office responded very quickly, mobilizing personnel, and broke up the strength in half a month. Some of them fled to Myanmar. Yun. Nan wrote a letter asking the court to come forward to put pressure on Myanmar.

Zhu Xu looked at the memorial and turned to Cao Huachun and said, "How is the embassy district division?"

Cao Huachun turned sideways and said, "Go back to the emperor, the Ministry of Rites has chosen a place to go to the east of the city."

Zhu Xu nodded and said with a deep thought: "Next year the envoys from various countries around him will come to Beijing to congratulate me on my wedding. At that time, let the Ministry of Rites discuss the establishment of each other's embassy and put pressure on Myanmar at the same time."

"After the order." Cao Huachun recorded in response.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he picked up the tea at hand. Before he could meet him, Xiao Yongning suddenly said, "Uncle, it's cold, I'll exchange the heat for you..."

The little girl was about to rush over as she said that there was a carbon stove next to Zhu Xu's table, and an iron kettle burning hot water on it.

"Stand honestly for me!" Zhu Xu snorted and came over in person.

The little girl paused, pursed her lips, looked at Zhu Xu with a pitiful look, and said slowly in a low voice: "Uncle, I know I am wrong, I will be obedient in the future..."

Zhu Xu poured tea and said, "Either you stand for me honestly, or I will continue to hang you upside down."

Compared to being hung upside down, Xiao Yongning naturally chose to stand, but his big eyes were watery and looked extremely pitiful.

Zhu Xu didn't go to see her at all, took a sip of tea and continued reading the memoir.

The Yellow River and some provincial and prefectures along the Yangtze River were scared by the flood this year. Knowing that the cabinet would reduce storm, it might suspend some water conservancy projects of the Ministry of Works. They wrote letters, hoping that it would not stop, so that they could spend money to clear the dredging, strengthen the embankment, and expand the river channel.

In addition to the direct benefits of preventing floods, these projects also have a large amount of money and grain pouring in. The dredging process will also create countless fertile fields, which are of great significance in all aspects and local governments are reluctant to let go.

Zhu Xu shook his head and transferred all the memorials to the cabinet.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to spend money in the past few years was because he had drained some of the potential of the Ming Dynasty. As the disaster situation continued to worsen and people's livelihood was withered, he was unable to sustain it. Although he was helpless in saving money, it was inevitable.

He picked up the memorial again, took a few glances and started to write it. After a while, Zhu Xu stared at the memorial in his hand, without a moment, his expression slightly solemn.

This is the memorial to impeach Qin Liangyu by Gansu Governor Lin Rirui, saying that Qin Liangyu led a large army to suppress bandits in Shaanxi and Gansu in the middle of the year, and burned thousands of people with fire. "The fire was shocking and it was not extinguished for ten days. The tragic situation was speechless, and the public resentment was boiling, which shocked Shaanxi and Gansu's.

Zhu Xu kept watching, without opening his mouth or picking up the pen.

His urgency had a great impact on the Ming officials. Even Qin Liangyu felt that her movements were more sharp and decisive, even at all costs, regardless of her reputation.

After a while, Zhu Xu tapped his fingers and left the memorial.

Continue to read the memoir. At this time, there are too many strange things happening. Even if it is unreasonable, it shouldn't be, and things that are unreasonable will happen.

For example, Suzhou Prefecture wrote a letter saying that there was a wealthy family in the area. They purchased several hectares of land and built a huge manor, which cost millions of dollars. When everyone saw it, it was extremely similar to the imperial palace in Nanjing. They just wanted to avoid taboos and hide some things.

This family is not an ordinary family. It was a descendant of a minister during the Jiajing period. He passed down his poetry and books and passed down his reputation in the Qing Dynasty. Suzhou Prefecture did not dare to make a decision and asked the emperor for his decree.

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "All monsters and monsters have jumped out..." He did not approve the memorial and transferred the memorial to the cabinet for the cabinet to handle it.

After a while, an internal supervisor came in with a memorial and handed it to Cao Huachun.

What is delivered at this time is usually important. Cao Huachun took the memorial, waved his hand, then opened it and looked forward, and said, "Emperor, the cabinet requests the imperial edict. They plan to promulgate the will of Yang Lian and the Donglin Party tomorrow."

Zhu Xu took the memorial and looked through it. It was Bi Ziyan's handwritten book, saying that the time is right, and the cabinet is ready to respond and it can be announced.

"It's okay after a few days of brewing." Zhu Xu took the pen, approved the word "correct", and handed it to Cao Huachun, saying: "Tomorrow you will go to the Ministry of Justice's prison to pardon a group of people. You don't have to do anything deliberately, just pass the imperial edict normally."

"After the order." Cao Huachun raised his hand to take the memorial, and he felt relieved.

The problems of the Donglin Party have been suppressing the government and the people. No matter how they are exposed, the deep-rooted ideas cannot be completely changed. If they cannot be moved away, it will always be a knot in the heart. In addition to hindering the "new policy" in front of them, it will also cause greater trouble. Now that the pardon is pardoned, it is equivalent to breaking this knot in mind. Since then, the emperor, cabinet, government officials, and the world's scholars can breathe a lot and be more relaxed.

Of course, the Donglin Party will never be able to reverse the case again!

Cao Huachun personally sent the memorial to the cabinet, gave a few more words before leaving.

Sun Chengzong had already gone to the Ministry of War, and only Bi Ziyan and King Jing in the cabinet were separated, so only Bi Ziyan received this "decree".

Bi Ziyan looked at the big word "correct" written by Zhu Xu, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

The Donglin Party is now a big stone blocking the road, lying across the hearts of the imperial court and the scholars, and must be moved away!

Bi Ziyan called Zheng Youyuan and whispered in front of him, "Go and release the news, and say that the emperor will issue an order to pardon the Donglin Party tomorrow. Everyone in the city must know tonight!"

Zheng Youyuan understood and agreed, and said, "Sir, can some people take it for themselves..."

"Don't even think about it!" Bi Ziyan's face suddenly became dark and said, "After the Donglin Party is pardoned, no contact is allowed. All recommendations and reports are sealed and sent to the Sili Supervisory Commission. No slander will be allowed in the future!"

Zheng Youyuan looked stunned and stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, is it necessary to do this?"

Bi Ziyan looked at him coldly and said, "The holy heart is unpredictable. You and I must be careful when doing things. This cabinet is the same as anyone else!"

Zheng Youyuan listened to Bi Ziyan's stern warning, his heart thumped and said with some understanding: "Yes, the official understands."

Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and said, "Well, tell Prince Jing about this matter, let the Governor's Office make some preparations, and prepare the court report. How to report it? Don't I need to teach you, right?"

Zheng Youyuan said: "If you want to promote it, you will suppress it first, demote Donglin, praise the emperor, and then mention the strong advice of our cabinet in it."

Bi Ziyan frowned and wanted to remove the cabinet. He felt a little moved and said, "I just mentioned the cabinet in one sentence, don't mention it more."

"Yes, the officials know the right way." Zheng Youyuan said, and then hurried out of Bi Ziyan's class room.

Not long after, King Jing also found out. He stood in front of the window, opened the window and looked outside.

The sky is getting darker, the snowflakes are getting more and more, and the cold wind is so sad that it may be another heavy snow.

He looked up at the dark sky and sighed softly, "Why has my Ming Dynasty not been quiet..."

A person who is used to being comfortable in Prince Jing is also a person who has done some things in the past few years, but still longs for the lazy days of eating and drinking without worries and leisure.

The cabinet deliberately released the news, and it didn't take long for the capital to spread all over the world.

I don’t know how many people are talking about it, and the strange remarks and rumors intersect over the capital tonight, echoing endlessly.

"Have you heard that? The emperor wants to pardon Yang Dahong and a group of criminals of the Donglin Party?"

"There was news a few days ago, but I don't know whether it is true or not. I just wrote a letter to the emperor in the cabinet, and the emperor has agreed..."

"Yes, Yang Dahong is the imperial teacher, and he can't always control it like this. Otherwise, where is the emperor's benevolence and filial piety?"

"But if I want to say, it is probably because the emperor and the court can't hold on anymore. The trial of Donglin is to be an enemy of the gentry in the world..."

"It may be. I heard that there are more and more people who are 'never enter the officialdom' now. Not only young scholars, but some officials from previous dynasties have also refused to recruit..."

"Haha, you said, will the court abolish that ban? The 'Nine bans' will block most of the scholars in the world from the imperial examinations and offend them..."

"Even the Donglin Party can be pardoned, what else is there to make things difficult? I guess it's just that there is a lack of a step. You can wait and see. Before the imperial examination next year, the court will inevitably change. Even if the ban cannot be abolished, there will be a turnaround, so that most scholars can enter the government..."

"It's extreme, it's extreme..."

In the big mansion east of the city, Wu Youwei, Wang Ji and Taoist priest sat together.

"drink!"

Wang Ji shouted happily, and the wine in his hand tilted to the end.

Wu Youwei and Taoist priests were also happy and fucked the wine in their hands, and looked at Wang Ji in a relaxed mood.

Wang Ji looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "The emperor is arrogant and has made a fool of himself. When Yang Dahong comes out, we will definitely be like a tiger with wings. Yang Lian has almost no obstacles to resurrecting Yang Lian. As long as we operate a little, we people from Donglin will be able to reunite the dynasty again, eliminate evil and reshape the world!"

When Wu Youwei saw it, Cheng Re struck out: "Sir, I heard that Fu Changzong is sick now, so we can move in the Ministry of Revenue. If we can obtain some key positions, not to mention that there is too much power, we can at least control a lot of money and food."

Wang Ji didn't say anything and looked at the Taoist priest with a smile on his face.

The Taoist priest frowned and said, "The court situation has been a bit strange recently. Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong are both confidants of the emperor, who are in charge of the household and the official department. If they fall, the emperor's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced. It is logically impossible. But now both of them are not enough to leave the palace, but there is not much abnormal movement in the court and the country..."
