In the Dongnuan Pavilion, no one, palace maids, and inner prisons were fifty meters away from the Qianqing Palace, and no one could hear the conversation inside.
No one knows about this conversation, except for Zhu Xu and Sun Chuanting.
In the history books of later generations, the dialogue on this day is only described as follows: The court stood in front of the emperor, and the time came to say that it could not wait.
Emperor Yun, there are other expectations.
These eighteen words have been studied repeatedly by later generations, and only know that the "Miscellaneous Narratives of the Qianqing Palace" from the late years of the Grand Duke Liu Shimin was included in the "Jingzheng Shilu", and the others can no longer be studied.
Sun Chuanting entered the Qianqing Palace, and the eyes of the government and the opposition were staring.
They were anxious, and they all wanted to know what Zhu Xu thought of Sun Chuanting and what his attitude was towards his upcoming governance plan.
Sun Chuanting stayed in the Qianqing Palace for three hours before leaving the palace.
Many people were waiting for reactions from everywhere, and surprisingly, the Qianqing Palace was as quiet as usual, bottomless.
The Cabinet, the Six Ministries were equally silent, as if nothing had happened.
It's just that in the anxious expectation of many people, the voices against Sun Chuanting that are visible to the naked eye are gradually quieting down, and the people and things that were originally blocking Sun Chuanting are slowly disappearing.
The imperial court seems to have been opened up to the second vein of Ren and Du, and it has become natural and smooth.
Even, rumors inside and outside the capital have calmed down and become increasingly rare.
Time was fast and slow, and soon it was the end of Jingzheng's fifth year, and the year-end meeting was set for the last three days.
All departments are extremely nervous, especially the parliament, there are too many things to deliberate, and there is also a strong pressure from the cabinet, which can be said to be busy and at the same time.
Sun Chuanting squeezed the cabinet much more than Bi Ziyan, and almost became a subordinate organ of the cabinet.
With so much pressure on the Parliament, you can imagine other departments.
In the fifth year of Jingzheng, December 27, late at night.
The cabinet is still brightly lit, and several major cabinets are busy racing against time, and they don't stop for a moment.
At this time, Li Youtang suddenly ran in and hurriedly said, "My lord, something happened, King Lu beat Yang Jinchu." ” Sun Chuanting raised his head, his face was indifferent, and said, "In the middle of the night, why?"
” Li Youtang paused and said: "King Lu heard that the imperial court was going to reduce the amount of the clan, King Lu went to the household department yàoshuōfǎ, Yang Jinchu persuaded peace, King Lu seems to have drunk wine and made a move. ” Yang Jinchu is the head of the household, King Lu is the prince, and Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, I don't know how much movement there will be in such a dozen.
The outer court has a deep grudge against the clan, and now is a critical time for the re-election, and the government and the opposition are staring at Sun Chuanting, which is tantamount to a test for Sun Chuanting's new cabinet, which is of great significance.
Li Youtang knew the importance of the matter, and came to tell Sun Chuanting as soon as possible.
Sun Chuanting put down the charcoal pen in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "What does the Criminal Department mean?"
” Li Youtang said: "The Criminal Department has sent people over, but Liao Changyong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said that it involves the clan and is not under his jurisdiction, so he separated the people and let them go." ” Sun Chuanting's eyes flashed, and he said, "Order the Law Enforcement Bureau to detain King Lu." ” Li Youtang looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "My lord, King Lu is the prince of one word, and the Zongren Mansion is Zongzheng, do you need to report to the emperor?"
” Sun Chuanting picked up the pen again and said, "No need, let's do it." ” Li Youtang looked at Sun Chuanting, did not persuade again, and said, "Yes." ” He was just about to leave, when Sun Chuanting said again: "How is the separation of the prison from the criminal department and the yamen?"
” Li Youtang hurriedly turned around and said, "This is one of the plans of the 'New Deal', and the Criminal Department and others are promoting it, and it has been basically completed."
But......
Although it has been completed, the people who run these prisons are still the same people as they were, and in fact, the soup has not been changed. ” Sun Chuanting is not surprised, this is the current predicament of the Ming Dynasty, and it needs to be further reformed.
"I see."
Sun Chuanting took the pen and lowered his head again.
Li Youtang waited for a while, then turned around and went out.
After a while, Bao Liyou hurriedly came in and said, "My lord, I don't think this matter of King Lu is simple, I'm worried that someone is calculating your lordship." ” Sun Chuanting didn't raise his head, and said: "They do theirs, we do ours, strictly implement the plan, and other things - soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ” Bao Liyou thought about Sun Chuanting's words, and suddenly realized, "My lord is smart!"
” Households.
The messenger of the criminal department dragged King Lu and pulled him out of the household department.
King Lu was full of alcohol, his face was flushed, and he roared loudly: "This king is the prince of the dynasty, the grandson of Taizu, you minions dare to arrest me, do you want to rebel against the sky!"
I want to see the emperor, I want you to walk around without eating!
” The servants didn't seem to hear it, and dragged them away.
There were more than 20 people from the Criminal Department, and the leader was Zhong Yangsheng, a servant of the Criminal Department who was dressed in regular clothes, he looked at it expressionlessly, took people with people, and directly escorted King Lu to the prison in the capital.
The onlookers were all taken aback, not the Zongren Mansion was detained, nor was it locked up in the Criminal Department, but the Beijing Prison, which has a more familiar name: Heavenly Prison!
Almost none of the people who were imprisoned here came out alive!
Some onlookers were frightened and fled quickly.
Among them is one person, who is King Lu's long-time ally, King Zhu Qiugui of Jin!
According to the conventions they understand, King Lu is a vassal domain, that is, the King of Jin will replace Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, which is almost the only choice, because there are only a handful of princes alive in the Ming Dynasty, and King Tang and King Jing are not qualified to serve, so there is only one King of Jin left!
However, King Lu did not surrender and was sent to the prison!

King Jin no longer has the self-confidence he had before, and he is confident that he can take over the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, and then he will go out of the capital and be the emperor of the soil.
He is afraid, afraid that King Lu will confess him, confess that he is the mastermind behind the scenes!
King Jin was worried about himself, and some other onlookers were worried about Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting even dared to go directly to prison for King Lu, what else did he dare not do?
For a while, the people of the court and the wilderness were panicked, and countless dànhé recitals flew into the celebrant early the next morning, and some people sued at the gate of the Governor's Yuan, Dali Temple, and even the palace, asking Zhu Xu to severely punish Sun Chuanting!
But all this did not stop the year-end meeting the next day.
Early in the morning, the officials of the cabinet were busy, and a large chamber that could accommodate 888 people was full of chairs.
The pattern of the big discussion changed again, it was still a ring, and at the front, a row of long tables was placed, with ten people in position, lowered from the top to the sides, showing identity.
In front of the ring-shaped seat, there are four big characters in the southeast, northwest and northwest, representing the four directions of the Ming Dynasty, all of which are the positions of the councilors.
Unlike before, officials at all levels of the imperial court were also involved, and no special positions were left for them.
On the semi-second floor, there is also a circle of slots reserved for 'observers', totaling about one hundred and fifty.
All this is naturally arranged by Sun Chuanting.
The people attending the meeting, looking at all these changes, were heavy, and despite their reluctance, another stage of the 'New Deal' had come.
