A man and a woman in the darkness kept watching the fire in Suncheonfu, their white teeth flickering from time to time.
In the dark alley not far from the restaurant of the two, a group of people are complaining.
A dark shadow grabbed the one in front and shouted in a low voice, "Liu Yuanwai, this is not what we did, we just put a few piles of firewood, and we can't burn like this......"
"Yes, we took twenty wen, this is going to kill the head......"
"Liu Yuanwai, you say something, if you burn like this, the entire capital will be burned!"
This Liu Yuanwai desperately wiped the cold sweat on his head, stomped his feet and said: "How do I know, I just asked you to put a little fire and give Chen Qiyu a dismount, who knows if it was used by people......"
"Then what should I do, the government is arresting people everywhere now, we can't hide for long......"
"If we are caught, all seven of our family will be beheaded......"
"Liu Yuanwai, hurry up and think of a way, otherwise it will be a ...... of death" Liu Yuanwai was a fat man, cold sweat was dripping, and he was shaking all over.
His ancestors were a magistrate of the county, and his family had thousands of acres of fertile land, and this time he was pushed out because of his low status.
Shuntianfu was burned, plus dozens of houses, I don't know how many people will be burned to death!
If the court investigates it, it will be light to cut off the head!
Liu Yuanwai's little eyes flickered, and he turned around sharply and said, "You all go back, I'll go find Qin Zhixian!"
” A group of people glanced at each other, and just as they were about to say more, they heard dense footsteps, and they hurriedly hid in the dark alley and left quietly.
In Shuntianfu, the people from the Criminal Department quickly dispatched and rushed all over the capital.
The patrol battalion also imposed a curfew to arrest suspicious persons.
The fire in Suncheonfu seems to have no end, and no matter how much water goes in, it has no tendency to abate.
Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others did not dare to leave, while fighting the fire, while discussing countermeasures urgently in private.
Officials in the capital from other places did not dare to be idle, and were busy everywhere.
The governors and governors who entered Beijing were all sleepless, all paying attention to the fire, anxiously waiting for further development.
The ordinary people who were not affected also opened their windows and watched the fire, and the discussion was boiling.
This night, no one is destined to sleep.
Jingyang Palace, the imperial study.
The lights are bright, and the candles are beating suddenly.
Zhu Xu sat on the chair, his expression calm, his head lowered, and silently flipped through a book.
He was now more awake than during the day, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
On both sides of Zhu Xu stood Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin, the two of them closed their eyes slightly, looking at the front expressionlessly.
Not far from the imperial table, Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground, motionless.
In the imperial study, except for the beating of the flames, there was no sound at all, and the needle could be heard.
Zhu Xu is in his hand is Zhang Wenda's notebook, he has three in a row, one is about taxation, suggesting 'slow down', the second is recommending talents, including Liu Zongzhou and others, and the third is impeachment, impeachment King Jing overstepping his power.
If it was during the Taiping period, Zhang Wenda's scripts were all feasible, and it could be said that he was old and seeking the country, but at this time, it was a chronic poison that would kill the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, but he didn't leave.
Although this kind of stay in the middle does not show his attitude, it is not without side effects, not to mention the heart of the courtiers for the country, in this time period of alternating between the old and the new, it is easy for people to have confusion in their thoughts, and they don't know what to do, what is right and what is wrong?
In this case, it is not enough to rely on the introduction of clear policies, the interaction between courtiers, and even the public opinion of newspapers.
This takes time, and the Ming Dynasty is bound to participate in the Great Voyage, and the ideological impact at that time will be greater.
"Think of it as a rehearsal in advance......"
Zhu Xu whispered.
His sudden speech made the faces of the other three people in the imperial study change slightly, Liu Shimin and Cao Huachun quietly looked at him, and Wei Zhongxian knelt lower.
After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he was also shocked by such quietness, looked up at Wei Zhongxian, blinked, and said after a while: "Okay, get up." ” Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Emperor." ” After finishing speaking, he got up tremblingly, and after kneeling for so long, his legs were already numb.
Zhu Xu patted his palm lightly on the tabletop, changed his mind, and said, "Let's talk about it." ” Wei Zhongxian bowed down, trembling in his heart, as the new policy became more and more perfect, he found that the existence of Dongchang became more and more redundant, he needed to show the emperor his ability, the necessity of the existence of Dongchang, but this happened at this time!
Wei Zhongxian was crazy with hatred, his eyes were full of fierceness, but his expression did not fluctuate, and he raised his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids have been preliminarily investigated, and some gentry were instigated to deliberately set fire to Shuntian Mansion, but the source of the oil is still being investigated." ” Zhu Xu squinted, fire oil is a strategic material, and ordinary people can't reach it.
In other words, it is not ordinary people who instigate the gentry?
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, check slowly."
If the Criminal Department and the Shuntian Mansion find out something and find a way to stop it, this case cannot be closed before I leave Beijing. ” Wei Zhongxian always knew that the emperor was casting a big net, but he didn't know how the emperor was going to use it, and at this time, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but ask, raised his hand and said, "Please also ask the emperor to show me." ” Zhu Xu had no need to hide it, so he said: "Tomorrow, I will order the cabinet to take the lead, the Criminal Department, and the Supervision Yuan to jointly set up a rapid response yamen to deal with emergencies and major incidents, and give you the sword of Shang Fang, which can be cut first and then played!"
” Wei Zhongxian's expression was shocked, and he knelt down violently and said, "Slave obeys!"

” In just four words, there are countless meanings.
Zhu Xu didn't have the heart to guess, looked up at the dark door, and said in a calm tone: "Things to do cleanly, don't be afraid of big things......
There will inevitably be some resistance from the imperial court, but fortunately, I am not in the capital, so you don't need to pay attention to it......
We must not leave any handle for people, and if there is any justification, the human and material evidence is all placed, and it will be handed over to Dali Temple at all levels for trial......
Occasionally, if there is a mistake or omission, I will suppress it......
In short, be upright and don't give people the root of the tongue ......"
Zhu Xu's words were a bit long, Wei Zhongxian listened quietly, he understood from Zhu Xu's calm words, the emperor was going to kill!
He couldn't bear the anger rising in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't wait to make a move now.
Zhu Xu talked for a long time, staring at the dark door, and said lightly, "That's all there is to say today, you can do it yourself." ” Wei Zhongxian's heart was settled, and he raised his hand calmly and said, "The slave obeys the order, and the slave and the slave retire." ” Zhu Xu watched him leave, but his eyes were still looking out of the door.
It was pitch black, accompanied by a strange cry that added to the fear.
Liu Shimin waited for Wei Zhongxian to really go away, frowned, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, if this matter is big, I'm afraid there will be many drawbacks." ” Zhu Xu bowed his head indifferently and did not speak.
As soon as this kind of tyrannical tactics came out, the first to be hit were the courtiers, who were the 'scholars' among the 'gentry', and these policies of the imperial court were also to be applied to them.
Second, it is the 'squire', the 'gentry' is the emperor of the soil, in their one-acre and three-point land, a sentence is more effective than the holy decree, and if you attack them, you will want to cause chaos in the world.
The 'gentry' is the most central force in the Ming society, and striking them is equivalent to attacking the entire Ming Dynasty, if it is steady, slow, and orderly progress, it may be able to minimize the impact.
But Zhu Xu is forcibly pushing it now, and the consequences are likely to make the entire Ming society depressed!
Economic, cultural, political and other aspects will enter a cold winter!
Serious illness requires fierce medicine, Daming is already terminally ill, and even has to scrape the bones to cure the poison, which is a means that cannot be used.
Zhu Xu didn't explain to Liu Shimin, and said in a deep voice: "I can't wait any longer, I will leave Beijing after the court meeting tomorrow."
I and Cao Bianjiao will go first, and you will stay in the palace and cover up for two days before leaving. ” Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin understood what Zhu Xu meant as soon as they heard it, and Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, many people are trying to be unfavorable to the emperor now, if there is no army to protect it, I am afraid of accidents, so we should ...... together."
Zhu Xu waved his hand, smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how chaotic the world is, it is my world, I just want to see something that I can't see in the book." ” Cao Huachun frowned, the importance of the emperor is self-evident to the current Ming Dynasty, if there is really a mistake, it will not fall apart, and chaos is inevitable!
He couldn't control the worry in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice, this matter is not trivial, and the adults in the outer court will not agree." ” Zhu Xu stood up, stretched out his arm, and said, "Didn't you notice?
A lot of things have gone back, and it's too easy for me to be fooled by them if I don't see them with my own eyes.
This matter is so decided, there is a forbidden army, and the brocade guards are here, and there is no way to do anything. ”
