Chapter 375: Centralization of power and rebellion


The importance of the imperial examination is a pillar of a dynasty, and it can even be said that it is the most important one.

The so-called winner of the people's hearts wins the world, and this 'people's heart' is in the hands of the readers.

This reform is bound to cause monstrous waves!

Fortunately, King Shin is here.

Zhu Xu now understands the truth of Taoguang and obscurity, and while silently eliminating his hat of 'willful emperor', he is constantly pushing his established plan.

Zhu Youzhen returned to Wenzhao Pavilion and sat in the class room, staring at the table with a calm face, his fists clenched tightly, and there was a gurgling sound.

From the reform of the army, the abolition of the cabinet, the suppression of Donglin, the reform of the salt administration, the pro-conquest of Liaodong, the confiscation of the clan's acres of land and private property, the withdrawal of Nan/Beijing, and the piles and piles, which all involve the 'national capital' of the Ming Dynasty!

In Zhu Youzhen's eyes, Zhu Xu, as the emperor, actually thinks about digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty every day, and wants to destroy the foundation laid by Taizu, he is becoming more and more unbearable!

Especially today, Zhu Xu actually hit the idea of the imperial examination!

This imperial examination involves thousands of scholars in the world, every scholar, and even everyone!

He sat there, his waist straight, his eyes full of anger.

"Containment!

Contain!

” He growled and roared.

Qian Longxi, Shi Fenglai and others were all outside, and they vaguely heard Zhu Youzhen's voice, and everyone was silent.

They became familiar with Zhu Youzhen, and gradually understood the character of this prince.

The temperament is forbearing, everything is hidden in the heart, and it is becoming more and more elusive.

After a while, Zhu Youzhen walked out, his face was calm, he glanced at the eyes of everyone gathered not far away, and said, "Call everyone in Wenzhao Pavilion, Wen Tiren also called." ” Qian Longxi looked at Zhu Youzhen's unsmiling face, knowing that something had happened again, and hurriedly arranged for someone to give the order.

Wen Zhaoge sat full this time, and there were three rows of chairs in front and back, from Qian Longxi, Shi Fenglai, to Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, and then to Fan Jingwen and others, there were nearly 20 people.

Zhu Youzhen sat there, his eyes were like a sword, he swept over everyone, and said indifferently: "The emperor intends to revise the imperial examination system, re-establish the academy, assess at different levels, and then take the Beijing examination, and unify the Wenzhao Pavilion and the officials to deploy the reason, excluding the Ministry of Rites." ” Zhou Yanru's face changed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "The prince can't!"

” Zhu Youjian's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "What is Lord Zhou's opinion?"

” Zhou Yanru also regretted speaking first, and said hesitantly: "Lord Wang, the imperial examination involves too much, and if you change it rashly, I am afraid that it will cause a huge backlash, and the gains outweigh the losses." ” Zhou Yanru's words are very subtle, in fact, the feudal dynasty has implemented the imperial examination for thousands of years, and it has its own system, if you want to break it, you don't know how many people's interests will be harmed, especially the bureaucracy, this is an important means for them to control the government, how can they just lose it.

Not to mention Wenzhao Pavilion, it is Jingyang Palace, and it will not be rashly moved.

Wen Zhaoge was quiet and terrible, and no one spoke anymore.

This matter is too big, and if it is not careful, if it spreads, it will be 'hunted down' by the entire Shilin.

Zhu Youzhen was very disappointed with the group of people in front of him, his face became more and more indifferent, and he looked at Wen Tiren and said, "Lord Wen, what do you think?"

” Wen Tiren knew that he had fallen out of favor, and his fat face was as usual, and he groaned and said, "Lord Wang, this reform should be based on the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy. ” Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned, and then frowned and said, "Or shirk responsibility?"

” The people in the Wenzhao Pavilion all looked slightly moved, and their eyes flashed with embarrassment.

Wen Tiren was not affected, and continued calmly: "Lord Wang, the imperial examination is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and it also involves the Hanlin Academy, the Tribute Academy, the Admiral Governor, the Governor, etc., if you want to reform the system, you must start with them first. ” Zhu Youzhen looked at Wen Tiren, his eyes moved, and he didn't speak.

For this matter, most of the other people's attitudes are silent, not wanting to touch it, this is a dangerous zone, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed.

Zhu Youzhen was dissatisfied with this group of people, took a deep breath, looked up at Wen Tiren and said: "Lord Wen is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and this restructuring still needs the great assistance of adults." ” Wen Tiren's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed down and said, "It is incumbent on the lower officials." ” Zhu Youzhen also knew that nothing could be discussed, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is strictly ordered not to be spread outside, let alone mentioned Jingyang Palace!"

It's all gone. ” Qian Longxi and the others also knew that King Xin needed time to think clearly, so they all responded and dispersed.

Fan Jingwen sat back at the table, looked at the back of Zhu Youzhen walking back to the class room, thought for a while, picked up the pen, and planned to write a letter to Ye Xianggao.

Wen Tiren walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion, his little eyes blinked, the light flickered, and he walked towards the outside of the palace.

Zhu Youzhen stood in the class room, pushed open the window, and looked outside, his eyebrows were full of trouble.

Wang Chengen stood behind him, looked at the white that appeared between his ears, walked over, and said softly: "Lord Wang, please take care of your body." ” Zhu Youzhen looked at the majestic palace outside, sighed silently, and said: "The entire Ming Dynasty can't find a person who is loyal to the country, everyone has selfish intentions, and they are clearly placed in front of the king, and there is no ......one who can be trusted."

Wang Chengen listened to Zhu Youzhen's words and did not make a sound.

If you say that Wen Zhaoge knows best, it is him, the great eunuch who has been watching coldly.

"Let's go."

Zhu Youzhen sighed again, turned around and was about to go out.

Wang Chengen followed behind Zhu Youjian and said, "Lord Wang, where is this going to come out?"

” Zhu Youzhen's eyebrows became more and more condensed, and he said indifferently, "Go see ** star, Yang Lian, without their help, this king can't do anything." ” Wang Chengen knew that Zhu Youzhen had always felt constrained, subject to the emperor at the top, and subject to the six ministries below, even if it was the Donglin Party, he could only come to the door and beg for help.

Wang Chengen is just a house slave, and he can't say anything, so he can only follow him quietly.

As soon as the news came out, there was naturally an uproar.

Almost in half an hour, it spread throughout the capital, and all those who read the book knew that the king of Wenzhao Pavilion tried to reform the imperial examination system for thousands of years, and a huge wave like a tide was set off in the capital, and then spread in all directions outside the capital.

With King Xin in the way, Zhou Yingqiu secretly assisted, Zhu Xu was not worried at all, and let the outside talk be full of rumors.

Two days later, the platform.

Zhu Xu sat there, and King Lu stood respectfully in front of Zhu Xu, and there was even a trace of apprehension in his heart.

Outsiders don't know about the rumors outside the palace, but he knows that King Xin definitely doesn't have the courage to reform the imperial examination system, let alone the ability!

"Relax, relax."

Zhu Xu looked at King Lu's tense body and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal." ” King Lu bowed slightly, the more worried.

Zhu Xu drank a cup of herbal tea, ignored King Lu's expression, slapped his leg slowly with one hand, and said, "King Jing will return to Beijing in a few days, and I am very satisfied with his trip."

It's because I used to be a little prejudiced against the clan, and my behavior was a little extreme. ” King Lu looked up at Zhu Xu, and then bowed lower.

When the emperor reviews in front of you, he definitely doesn't want to apologize to you, most of them have a request for you, or rather, a difficult task for you.

King Lu knows this truth very well.

Zhu Xu knew very well that this King Lu was not a simple person, and said with a very gentle tone: "Uncle Ping Wang has said many times in front of me that King Lu is very capable and has helped him a lot in the Governor's Yuan. ” King Lu did not speak, and the longer the cliché, the more serious the matter.

Zhu Xu went around a few sentences, and also got to the topic, and said: "Shan/Dongbu Governor Li Jingbai played, Shan/Dongbu Zhengsi, according to the judge, Ji/Nanfu has many lawlessness, but he has many constraints and is difficult to get things done. ” King Lu finally understood what Zhu Xu meant, thinking that King Jing had promoted a large number of people in Nanzhili, and now he had a great prestige in the clan, so he was also a little moved in his heart, so he couldn't bear to speak.

Zhu Xu didn't speak, picked up the teacup again, and took a sip gently.

Compared with other government departments, Shan/Dong is very small, with only six prefectures under its jurisdiction, and it is very close to the capital, so it is not difficult to dispose of it.

It's just that unlike Jiang/Su, this is the real abolition of the three divisions and the change of the governor system, which will have an extremely great impact on other political departments, and the backlash will increase greatly.

However, Zhu Xu now needs to centralize power and integrate all the forces of the Ming Dynasty to deal with the imminent natural disaster.

Zhu Xu put a silent pressure on King Lu, and continued: "When you arrive in Shan/Dong, I will transfer all the officials of the Political Department and the Judicial Department, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will also send people to cooperate.

In addition, Yan Mingtai, the governor of Shan/Dong, and Lu Xiangsheng's Long Xiang army, you can also be mobilized in an emergency.

If you have other needs, you can tell me. ” King Lu was a little excited when he heard this, with such power, he alone had the final say in the entire mountain/east!

Naturally, this is within the scope of Zhu Xu's permission.

"Back to the Emperor," King Lu suppressed his excitement, and said calmly on the surface: "The minister needs a few helpers, I hope the emperor will allow it." ” Zhu Xu waved his hand and said magnificently, "Well, you are going to make a request, is there anything else?"

” King Lu thought about it, frowned and wrinkled, looked at Zhu Xu seriously, and said, "Your Majesty, minister......

Please return the Lu Palace. ” Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled: "You are a Qincha, I have agreed to this request." ” King Lu also took the risk to tempt, and when he saw Zhu Xu agreeing so happily, his heart sank a little more.

Shandong/Dong's trip, I'm afraid it's far from being as simple as the emperor said, just investigating and dealing with corruption.

First, he couldn't refuse, and second, he didn't want to refuse.

He raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will live up to his mission!"

” Zhu Xu stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "Well, go ahead, write a detailed script for me, and I want to know what you want to do." ” King Lu responded, and when he left the palace, he buried himself in writing a notebook, and at the same time began to secretly meet with some people.

Early the next morning, King Lu's recital arrived at the celebrant supervisor.

Zhu Xu chuckled secretly while flipping through it.

This King Lu is different from King Jing, what he wants is to 'sneak', first silently go to the mountain/east, and then quietly investigate, get evidence, and kill with one blow.

"It's fine."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and smiled a little weirdly.

Cao Huachun's expression on the side moved, and he knew from Zhu Xu's expression that things would definitely not unfold in the direction that King Lu wanted.

"Your Majesty, this is today's transcript."

Liu Shimin walked in from the side door, followed by five little eunuchs, each with a plate, and the plate was full of playbooks.

Zhu Xu looked surprised and said, "Why are there so many today?"

” Liu Shimin bowed down and said, "The emperor, most of them, impeached King Xin and demanded that he be removed as prime minister. ” Zhu Xu immediately felt secretly glad, if he didn't believe in the king, what would he do?

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "There is no need to give it to Wen Zhaoge anymore, you ceremonial supervisors can deal with it." ” Liu Shimin nodded, handed over another notebook, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the list of this year's martial arts." ” Zhu Xu stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and flipped it up.

The Ming Dynasty also emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, and the so-called martial arts have long been reduced to a formality, but almost all those who lead soldiers and horses are literati, and there are few exceptions.

This was naturally not what Zhu Xu wanted, he opened it and looked at it.

The name, place of origin, resume, and referee are all clearly written.

Zhu Xu looked at it, and there was no familiar name, but one of them, which aroused his idea.

Peng Mingyang, who was originally a head catcher, was recommended by Fan Yixuan, the prefect of Xiang/Yang.

This Fan Yixuan Zhu Xu vaguely had the impression that the people he recommended should have some skills.

"This man writes it down, and I'll see it when the time comes."

Zhu Xu handed the notebook to Liu Shimin and pointed to the name.

Liu Shimin glanced at it and said that he would write it down.

Zhu Xu flipped through the notebook, and people everywhere were saying that the disaster situation was aggravated, grain production was reduced, and civil chaos broke out.

Zhu Xu sighed lightly and said to himself: "Wait, wait......"

Before Zhu Xu could finish speaking, an attendant at the right door hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in Cao Huachun's ear.

Cao Huachun's face changed slightly, waved his hand, walked to Zhu Xu's ear, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Jiannu crusaded against Chahar and won a great victory, Lin Dan Khan is said to have fled, and he doesn't know where to go." ” Zhu Xu shook it, it's only been a long time, I'm afraid of not a single round, and this Lin Dan Khan will be defeated.

Zhu Xu looked up at the outside, groaned, and said, "What do you think about Jiannu?"

” Cao Huachun said: "There seems to be no intention of withdrawing troops. ” Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved, and he knew that according to Houjin's character, if he didn't grab enough, he wouldn't withdraw his troops.

"That's it, let Jinyiwei keep an eye on it, and notify me as soon as there is any news."

Zhu Xu said.

"Yes."

Cao Huachun said.

"Your Majesty, Fu Shangshu is here."

Before Cao Huachun's words fell, an attendant walked in in front of the door of the imperial study.

Zhu Xu was stunned, looked up, Fu Changzong had privileges, and then walked in, raised his hand and saluted: "Your Majesty." ” Zhu Xu smiled, stood up and said, "Uncle, why did you come early in the morning?"

” Fu Changzong glanced at Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin, and did not shy away from it, and said with a smile: "Send a message to the emperor, last night, Wen Tiren went to the mansion to find me." ” Zhu Xu's eyes moved slightly, thinking of this person's temperament, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Come to hug your uncle's thigh?"

” Fu Changzong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, it should be for the emperor." ” Zhu Xu is clear, he is also clear about the state of Wen Zhaoge, Wen Tiren fell out of favor in front of King Xin, and if he wants to climb the high branches again, he is the only one.

Tapping his fingers on the tabletop, Zhu Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Then let him behave well, and let me see his ability." ” Fu Changzong will understand that Wen Tiren is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the most important thing in the current Ministry of Rites is Qiu Yu, and there is the reform of the imperial examination, it is obvious that Zhu Xu wants Wen Tiren to contribute to this. —— The third update, 4,000 words, 10,000 more completed today, come to some support~
