Shaanxi/West is indeed too big, so big that the imperial court cannot provide comprehensive disaster relief, and even cannot suppress the popular rebellion with all its might.
The land is vast and sparsely populated, and this word is also extremely suitable for Shaanxi/West, if the chaotic people are mobile battles, it is enough to give the entire Ming Dynasty a headache.
This also made Zhu Xu more anxious about redrawing the province, and he couldn't afford to delay wantonly from Wen Zhaoge's side.
Zhu Xu flipped through the notebook and said lightly, "Go, and then urge Wen Zhaoge to ask the imperial brother to present it as soon as possible!"
” "Yes."
Liu Shimin agreed, turned around and walked out of the imperial study, and walked towards Wenzhao Pavilion.
Zhu Youzhen has not been in a good mood these days, firstly, Zhu Xu insists on taxing the rich, which is bad for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty; Second, the members of the Wenzhao Pavilion fought openly and secretly in order to reform the province, which made him dizzy; The disaster situation in Shaanxi/West became more and more serious, and his response to the disaster began to be overwhelmed, 500,000 taels of silver, and millions of stone of grain went out, and there was no echo at all, which made him more worried.
Xinwangfu.
Princess Zhou settled the child, walked over, looked at King Xin, who was rarely drinking in the mansion with a sad face, and said softly: "Lord, borrowing wine to drown your sorrows is even more sorrowful, you might as well go out for a walk again." ” King Xin for the sake of 'Zhongxing Daming', try his best to restrain himself, wine and wealth, do not occupy everything, every day and every night is for the government and sorrow, the occasional boredom is just to go out for a walk, borrowing wine to drown sorrow is rare.
Zhu Youzhen exhaled lightly, looked at Princess Zhou drunkenly, and sighed: "The state affairs are becoming difficult, the officials are favoritism, and I also have many conflicts with the emperor. ” Princess Zhou didn't understand government affairs, walked behind Zhu Youjian, pressed his shoulders, and said softly: "Lord, what the concubine said is that you should walk around with the emperor more and get close, you can't be so deadlocked......"
Zhu Youzhen didn't know about the conflict between him and Zhu Xu, in addition to the earlier psychological prejudice, there was also a big difference in political opinions, which could not be resolved by simple intimacy.
Fortunately, Zhu Xu still remembered the last words of the first emperor and did not abolish him, the prime minister, so that Wenzhao Pavilion would always exist.
It's just that this kind of existence, Zhu Youzhen is not sure how long it can last.
This time Zhu Xu wants to tax the rich, the biggest of these 'rich people' is the official eunuchs all over the world, these people are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and he must not allow Zhu Xu to move lightly.
He is now using the procrastination technique, and with his understanding of Zhu Xu, I am afraid that it will not be delayed for long.
This made him more and more bored in his heart, and he drank the wine one by one.
Wang Chengen came in from outside, looked at Zhu Youzhen's expression, sighed lightly in his heart, took out a notebook from his arms, and said, "Lord Wang, come to Zongdao, come to Beijing for adults." ” Zhu Youzhen raised his head fiercely and said, "Really?
” Although he participated in the compilation and revision of the "Three Dynasties Canon", he was also the main force in destroying the "Three Dynasties Canon", and in the clear stream, especially when the Donglin was gone, the influence was huge!
Zhu Youzhen is looking for good talents, and this is the first person he invited to Zongdao!
Wang Chengen handed the book to Zhu Youzhen and said, "Yes, Lord Lai has already entered the palace and asked to see the emperor." ” Zhu Youzhen's expression was greatly invigorated, and the wine was also a lot sober, and he looked at the notebook, and sure enough, all the performances he played in Zongdao were in line with his heart, including the destruction of the "Three Dynasties Classics", the affirmation of important positions in the imperial court, the clarification of government affairs, the unity of government decrees, and so on.
These are all things he is struggling with now, and he can see it clearly when he comes to the sect.
"Let's go, Hui Wen Zhao Pavilion!"
Zhu Youzhen stood up, took a deep breath, and said loudly.
Princess Zhou hurriedly arranged for people to prepare for bathing, and she couldn't let King Xin go to the palace like this.
Just when Zhu Youzhen was taking a bath and changing clothes, Lai Zongdao also entered the palace and was being led towards Jingyang Palace by the internal supervisor.
Lai Zongdao is more than sixty years old this year, he must be white, the corners of his face are as thin as a knife, his eyes are blazing, and his head is held high, giving people a stern and rigid feeling.
The inner supervisor's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little nervous in his heart.
This lord is from Hangzhou/Zhoufu, advanced seven times, and was prominent for a while, Wei Zhongxian was in awe of him at the beginning, and he never despised him.
His Zhishi is different from Qingliu's 'begging for illness', he resigned only when he was really sick and overwhelmed, so the government and the opposition tended to have the same opinion on him: 'those who are impartial and do their duty, and plan big things'.
Lai Zongdao quickly entered the imperial study, looking at the young emperor who was sitting behind the desk and reading the recital with his head down, his eyes became colder, as if he was looking at the junior students, and raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "The minister comes to Zongdao, meet the emperor!"
” Zhu Xu raised his head, glanced at Lai Zongdao, and said with a smile: "Come on, my lord, let's be flat." ” For this, there is a detailed description in the booklet on Zhu Xu's right, which boils down to 'left and right, and the sword goes sideways'.
When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he participated in the compilation of the "Three Dynasties Classics" for Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian was unlucky, and he strongly demanded that it be burned.
In the eunuch party, the clear stream seems to be close but not close, and it seems to be far away from it, and it is always not to offend and get benefits from both sides.
If you want to talk about the ups and downs of the sea, this is an old boatman.
Lai Zongdao straightened up and held up the song: "Your Majesty, the minister entered Beijing this time, determined to help the gains and losses of the imperial court, solemnize the world, and ask the emperor to take a look." ” Cao Huachun's eyes moved, he hadn't heard such big words for a long time, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, walked over quickly, took the notebook and handed it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu also looked at the adult curiously, opened his notebook and glanced at it, his expression remained unchanged, and he was quite surprised in his heart.
Lai Zongdao mentioned more than a dozen articles, including 'prohibiting ministers from leaving Beijing, destroying the important codes of the three dynasties, straightening out the functions and powers of various ministries of the imperial court, clarifying national politics, respecting the ancestral system, and not acting rashly' and so on.
Zhu Xu is also relatively strict about the internal control system, and the "Three Dynasties Classics" cannot be destroyed for the time being, but it straightens out the functions and powers of various ministries of the imperial court and clarifies the national politics, which makes Zhu Xu's eyes light up.
With the passage of time, almost all the functions and powers of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in the six departments, which were huge and mixed, and there were also Huitong commercial houses outside, which also inherited countless privileges, and even the power had to pass through the general yamen.
Clarity on national policy means that his policies have always been unclear, which is the root cause of all kinds of disputes.
The article of respecting the ancestral system is also quite in line with Zhu Xu's mind, in troubled times, he used heavy classics to move out of the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's governing policies, with a slight change, can block the mouths of most people in the world!
Regardless of whether it is round or not, what Zhu Xu needs now is an official who can do things and get things done, close the book of Zongdao, and said with a smile: "Well, what the adults played is very agreeable!"
” Lai Zongdao listened to Zhu Xu's words, indifferent, the more stern his thin face became, he raised his hand and said: "The minister has three questions, and I ask the emperor to answer them truthfully." ” Zhu Xu has seen Ye Xianggao's mellowness, Han Huang's old-fashionedness, and Yang Lian's self-control, they are more or less 'strict', but they are still far inferior to the Lai Zongdao in front of them.
He was also quite curious about the 'three questions' of Lai Zongdao, and said: "Although Lai Qing asks, I know everything and say everything. ” Cao Huachun was also quite curious, not knowing what the old man was going to ask.
Lai Zongdao raised his hand, looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "First question: Taizu drove the Tatars to return to China/China, and there are thousands of difficulties, and he is not enough.

Yesterday, there was a slave in the city, and the society was overturned, even if it was fortunate to be defeated, can the emperor have the prince to guard the southern capital?
In order to make sure that I have a good country?
” Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this, when Zhu Di moved the capital to Bei/Beijing, there was an edict, the emperor guarded the north/Beijing, the prince guarded the south/Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty was safe.
This is indeed an ancestral system, but where does he have a prince now?
In Zhu Xu's generation, only King Xin has one son.
Zhu Xu squinted, his gaze gloomy.
He remembered that in history, Emperor Chongzhen could have allowed the crown prince to go to Nan/Beijing, but in the end, in the argument of the courtiers, he resolutely did not allow it, not only did he die in Sheji, but also Nanming lost Zhengshuo, fell into civil strife, various throne battles, and the regents of the prison country rose and fell.
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, for a long time, he looked at the stereotypical Lai Zongdao, and said slowly, "This matter is indeed something I owe to consider, if there is a next time, I will canonize the eldest son of King Xin as the crown prince and garrison Ying/Tian." ” Lai Zongdao looked at Zhu Xu deeply, still raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Second question: Since ancient times, the holy monarch has been pure, upright, honest, and clear, dare to ask the emperor, since he ascended the throne, what kind of possession has he had?"
” Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, if he wanted to say 'Qing', he couldn't take it, and the reputation of good money had already spread all over the world.
'Positive' doesn't count, he is cronyism, and everyone knows it.
'Lian' can't be talked about, his internal money is probably the most since the Ming Dynasty.
'Ming' should have been counted, but the resurgence of the eunuch party was his acquiescence and even promotion, and now the eunuch party has been shouted and beaten by the world, and he, the emperor, has already hung up the title of 'faint monarch'.
Zhu Xu's fingers knocked unconsciously faster, this sect is not a traitorous and cunning person, and he is at his key point everywhere, and he can't do it.
He groaned for a while, and said calmly, "I don't occupy any of them, but I have a clear conscience!"
” Lai Zongdao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flickered with a faint light, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Third question: Since ancient times, the people have been the water kings and boats, and now the people are in the water, what does the emperor regard himself?"
” Zhu Xu was just about to open his mouth, but he was immediately stunned, there was a deep meaning in the words of the sect.
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, slowed down slowly, and didn't speak for a while, his eyes were looking at this Lai Zongdao.
This old slippery head has no reason to embarrass him, a strong emperor.
The sternness on Lai Zongdao's face did not diminish in the slightest, and his eyes stared at Zhu Xu fiercely.
After another half an hour, Zhu Xu spoke slowly, and said, "My Zhu family is entrusted by all the people, and holds the authority of the world, neither water nor boat, also water and boat, all people are in the water, I am in the water, all the people are in the boat, I am in the boat, the monarch and the people are one, and they work together and rest!"
” Lai Zongdao's expression moved slightly, his eyes drooped slightly, and after a long while, he smiled: "Emperor Shengming!"
” Zhu Xu also smiled and said, "Laiqing's three questions, I'm afraid you're not the only one to ask, right?"
” Lai Zongdao took out another notebook from his arms, held it up and said: "On behalf of the people of Jiangnan, present a book of ten thousand words." ” Cao Huachun stepped forward quickly and handed it to Zhu Xu.
The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes moved, and when he turned the notebook, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more.
This is the joint recital of the Jiangnan Shilin Group, which is signed by 10,000 people, which marks that the Jiangnan Shilin Group bowed its head to the imperial court, recognized the 'nine rules', released goodwill to him, the emperor, and asked for 'reconciliation'.
Zhu Xu closed the notebook and said with a slight chin: "I am very pleased with the profound understanding of the righteousness of the Southern Shilin, Wei Zhongxian has many excesses, and I will immediately order him to return to Beijing to ask for the guilt." ” Lai Zongdao listened to Zhu Xu's words, his heart was also relieved, and the stern expression on his face was relaxed, and he said: "Dare to ask the emperor, what is the plan of the imperial court about the imperial examination?"
” Zhu Xu knew that this article could not be run, and the abolition of the imperial examination would have too great an impact, but popularizing education, giving more opportunities to the poor, and weakening the southern eunuch group was his established goal, and he would not compromise.
But he couldn't force the official eunuch group to bow his head, but fortunately, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and looked at Lai Zongdao: "The imperial examination will not be abolished, once every three years, the government, the province, and the Beijing three examinations, whether you enter the college or not, you need to enter the imperial examination." ” Coming to Zongdao this time, it was for the voice and echo of the Southern Shilin Group, listening to Zhu Xu's personal words, his heart was relieved, and he said: "The emperor is sage, and the scholars of the world will be grateful for the emperor's kindness." ” Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, his academy is biased towards practical teaching, not to mention the six arts, just talking about 'number' and 'science' is not something that can be easily made up by rich children who are immersed in reading sage books.
Educational resources will become very valuable in the future.
Jiangnan Shilin Group adheres to the knowledge of sages, which is clearly a chance for poor scholars to come forward.
Zhu Xu is naturally happy to see it.
Reform means sacrificing those who have the most benefits.
The purpose of coming to Zongdao has been achieved, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister still wants to recommend one person to the emperor." ” Zhu Xu had a good impression of the old slippery head, at least he could help solve the 'grievances' of Southern Shilin, and said with a smile, "Who do you want to recommend?"
” Lai Zongdao raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "The original official department is still in the book, Zhang Wenda."
This person is alert and wise, knowledgeable about things, but he is not a great talent, and the court does not need it, which is really a big mistake. ” Zhu Xu immediately raised his eyebrows, this Lord Zhang he has dealt with, a real old treacherous and cunning, in the third year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Xu wanted to trap him and give him the long history of Huiwangfu, but this sleek as a loach couldn't catch it, so he could only let him run back to his hometown, in vain.
In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he was chased by Wei Zhongxian and almost killed, but Zhu Xu secretly saved his life.
If this person is out, no matter where he puts it, it will be enough to give Zhu Xu a headache, this is someone he can't be sure of!
The Donglin Party can be pressed by 'force', the eunuch party can be pressed by 'force', and neutral people can directly give orders, but Zhang Wenda is an old slippery head, and Zhu Xu has no way to deal with it, because no way can hold him.
He is uncontrollable!
At this kind of time, Zhu Xu needs to firmly control all the power, and no one can be allowed to add variables to him!
Therefore, although he admires this one, he has never intended to use it, not at all!
Coming to Zongdao this time, on behalf of the Southern Shilin Group, Zhu Xu also needs to respond to goodwill, so as to 'reconcile', he pondered for a while, and said: "If Boss Zhang is restarted, Laiqing, which position do you think is appropriate?"
” came to Zongdao to recommend, naturally had a plan, and said: "Back to the emperor, the members of the Wenzhao Pavilion are not uniform, and the minister recommends Master Zhang to enter the Wenzhao Pavilion." ” Zhang Wenda was a secretary of the ministry before, and if he wanted to enter the cabinet, the cabinet was abolished, and only Wenzhao Pavilion could arrange it.
Zhu Xu naturally couldn't put Zhang Wenda in Wenzhao Pavilion, if Wenzhao Pavilion was out of control, then his government affairs would have to be chaotic.
He shook his head categorically and said, "You can go to Wenzhao Pavilion, but Zhang Wenda can't."

I plan to divide the Liaodong Metropolitan Division out of the mountain/east and re-establish a province, and Zhang Wenda will go there to be the governor. ” The Later Jin in Liaodong was now weakened to an awkward position, and this embarrassment also included the Ming Dynasty.
Since the Later Jin did not have the strength to attack the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to destroy the Later Jin in one fell swoop.
Therefore, both sides can only coexist like this until the strength of the Ming Dynasty is strong enough to completely eliminate the Houjin!
At present, whether it is north of Shanhai/Guan, or west of Chao/Xian, except for the control area of Houjin, they are basically in a peaceful environment, and this peace is not expected to be broken in two or three years.
Lai Zongdao listened to Zhu Xu's words, and knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he had to raise his hand and say: "The minister's decree, I will send a letter today to invite Master Zhang to enter Beijing." ” Zhu Xujaw said: "After coming to the Qing Dynasty to enter the Wenzhao Pavilion, we must supervise the handling of the government affairs of the Wenzhao Pavilion, do not arbitrarily procrastinate, and the government needs to fight for the day." ” Lai Zongdao didn't know the specific situation of Wen Zhao Pavilion, and knew that Wen Zhao Pavilion should have some delay to provoke the emperor's dissatisfaction, so he raised his hand and bowed and said, "Obey the order!"
” Zhu Xu tried a few more words, and then asked Cao Huachun to personally lead the Sect Dao to Wenzhao Pavilion.
The entry of Zongdao into Beijing also indicates that the political reform in the south is basically completed, and there will be no big waves, which also makes Zhu Xu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Next is Shaanxi/West."
Zhu Xu squinted, looked out the door, and whispered to himself.
Shaanxi/Western China has always been his heart disease, this place is the most severely affected, is the hardest hit area of civil unrest, it is necessary to divide the province as soon as possible, strengthen control, improve disaster relief channels, and curb civil unrest.
If the people are really in turmoil, and the court is busy suppressing bandits all the time, it will be a little bit of magnifying the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and sooner or later it will be dried up.
Suddenly, Liu Shimin walked in quickly from the side door, holding a recital in his hand, "Your Majesty, the recital of the slave and thief chieftain." ” Zhu Xu was stunned for a moment, then took it and looked at it, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.
This is Huang Taiji's recital, which states: go to the country name, ask for canonization, request marriage, etc., written in great detail, different from the previous nominal and unreal peace documents.
Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, and thought about it in his heart, raised his head and smiled at Cao Huachun: "This Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom wants to marry me." ” Liu Shimin smiled and bowed his head, how could their emperor of the Ming Dynasty have the habit of marrying a Yiren woman.
However, this also shows that the Jiannu who have been in the north of the Ming Dynasty for decades have basically lost their threat now.
Zhu Xu slapped the notebook, hesitating in his heart.
He had an impulse in his heart to send an army of 100,000 to suppress Shen/Yang and completely annihilate Houjin, but he knew very well that this move was very risky, and it was unlikely to succeed, and it would also destroy the existing situation in Liaodong.
"I'll have to wait a little longer."
For a long time, Zhu Xu sighed lightly, Huang Taiji wanted to forbear and recuperate, how could he not, Daming had more difficulties than Houjin, he had too many things to do, and he couldn't always be dragged by Liaodong.
Zhu Xu handed the book to Liu Shimin and said, "Leave it to Wenzhao Pavilion for discussion." ” Liu Shimin wanted to speak and stopped, with Zhu Youzhen's character, I am afraid that he will not agree this time, and even want to go north and completely eliminate Jiannu, right?
However, he didn't say much, answered the voice and took the notebook, and ordered someone to send it to Wenzhao Pavilion.
