Bi Ziyan said that he would add cabinet assistants!

"Let's talk about it after the New Year." Zhu Xu said lightly. He was clear about Bi Ziyan's desire to win over Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu came to resist his pressure on the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan's heart sank and said, "Abide by the order."

Several people waited for a while and then said, "I will leave."

Zhu Xu watched the group of cabinet assistants leave and shook his head secretly.

I don’t know when the collective thoughts of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were “stable”. They could not be stable after going steady. This time, they were slapped hard in the face.

‘I hope they can wake up…’

Zhu Xu thought to himself, looked up at Zhang Yun and the others, his eyes fell on Bumu Butai, and said, "Since you have entered the capital, just stay for a few more days. Ci Yi will take care of the queen for the time being, you don't have to worry too much."

Bumubutai bent down and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Ciyi, who was sucking his fingers on the bed and said, "You have done a good job in Nanzhili. I will go to your place tonight and talk to me about the Shenlong Mansion in detail."

"Yes." Bumubutai said, her expression was always calm, quiet, without any fluctuations, and her eyes were always on Zhu Ciyi who had fallen on her.

Zhu Xu looked at the four children and said to Zhang Yun again: "Take Bumubutai to the palace and meet the emperor's sister-in-law and the concubine, and take Ci Yi with her."

Zhang Yun understood what Zhu Xu meant and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and asked several girls to take the child away, leaning against the wall, thinking about this matter.

Zhu Xu didn't care about this matter. Even without him intervening, the cabinet and local officials had enough ability to settle it.

But this was a good opportunity for him, which could give him enough excuses to "purge the Ming Dynasty" openly and establish the legitimacy of the "New Policy" to win over the hearts of the people of the world and inspire the morale of the Ming Dynasty.

But, I have to find someone who is right to do this.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhu Xu's heart was wandering, and a personal choice passed by his eyes.

He would definitely anger Shilin completely and make countless "Confucian" disciples jump for it. It would be a big storm. This candidate did not have enough concentration, and even if he had to stand on the platform, he would have achieved half the result with twice the effort.

While Zhu Xu was thinking, Bi Ziyan and others left the Qianqing Palace and turned back to Wenzhao Pavilion.

Bi Ziyan said as he walked: "What's going on in Nanzhili?"

Sun Chuanting said: "A letter from Nanzhili has been submitted to capture more than 300 rebel thieves, and some accomplices, as many as nearly a thousand. Now Nanzhili is in a rebellion, rumors are everywhere, people are panic, and people are uneasy. They ask the cabinet for instructions on whether to make public conclusions as soon as possible to stabilize the people's hearts."

Nanzhili has the consideration of Nanzhili, and the cabinet must also have the idea of ​​the cabinet. Bi Ziyan's face was cold and cold. He glanced at Sun Chengzong and said, "Zhisheng, what do you think?"

Zhisheng, Sun Chengzong's word.

Sun Chengzong was also unsure and said, "The emperor's mind has always been unpredictable. This time he gave the power to the cabinet. I am worried... he has other plans."

These are exactly what their cabinet assistants are worried about, worried about and guard against.

What the emperors do today are very different from ordinary people, and they are not satisfied with their cabinet for a day or two. In this matter, it is expected that he has other plans.

"Bai Gu, what do you think?" Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chuanting again.

Sun Chuanting was meticulous and bold in his actions. He always matched Zhu Xu's wishes and trained him as the next "prime minister". All these Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others knew them well.

Sun Chuanting could vaguely guess Zhu Xu's idea now, but he had no idea about his approach. He thought while walking: "My Ming Dynasty is decadent, the officialdom is corrupt, the mind is scattered, and people are floating. As we all know, the emperor used to reform the system in the past. Now, he should want to purify the atmosphere, sweep these decadent trends, and revitalize the hearts of the people across the Ming Dynasty."

"Then, guess what the emperor would do?" Bi Ziyan looked serious.

Sun Chuanting could not guess Zhu Xu's idea, but still said: "One is the Four and Five Halls. I have read some books compiled by the Four and Five Halls. Many places... are rebellious, but they can be justified. These should soon become tutorials for academies in various places. The other is the student of the Royal Court. There should be many students who can serve as prefects this year. At most two or three years, most of the prefects in my Ming Dynasty will be students from the Zhengyuan. Third, I think it is newspapers. These newspapers have played an increasingly important role. A considerable number of people in the Shilin community have accepted the "new policy", and the credit comes from this. Fourth, it is the imperial examination, and the emperor should not let it go."

Bi Ziyan listened silently, feeling confident, and said, "I will ask the president of the Fourth and Five Halls to come to my class room later. Also, I will pay attention to the matters in Nanzhili first, and I will consider it again."

If the killing was launched in Nanzhili, the consequences would be really unpredictable. If Nanzhili was defeated, the entire Ming Dynasty would be hit!

Sun Chuanting responded without waiting for him to speak, Sun Chengzong said: "I am staying in the capital for a short time. This matter needs to be decided as soon as possible. Those who the emperor wants to call him must be called to the capital as soon as possible, and there will be no delay."

The "Military Reform" is now at a critical moment. Sun Chengzong must keep an eye on it himself and cannot underestimate any changes!

Bi Ziyan nodded and said, "Well, we will convene the six ministers tonight, and we will discuss a safe way to finish this matter."

King Jing and Wang Qiaonian had a weak voice, so he nodded and had their own thoughts.

The most influential thing in Nanzhili was the Governor's General Office, and the one who was in charge of the trial would be Dali Temple. The two looked at each other with a vigilant look, worried that Bi Ziyan would put on their shoes again and take the opportunity to suppress them.

"Also, Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu need to enter the cabinet as soon as possible." Bi Ziyan then said with a solemn expression.

Sun Chengzong pondered and said, "I am old and will retire at most when the 'military reform' is over. The cabinet really needs to supplement the cabinet ministers."

Sun Chuanting said nothing, he knew exactly what Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong thought.

The cabinet has always been under most of the pressure on the Qianqing Palace. With the promotion of a series of major events such as the "New Policy" and "Military Reform", they were a little overwhelmed. The cabinet needs to find ways to share the pressure. At the same time, in order for the "New Policy" to be more powerful, fast and steadily promoted, Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu, two confidants in the Qianqing Palace who have worked in the court and the country for many years and have an influence that is no less than those of the cabinet ministers, must enter the cabinet as soon as possible!

Everyone reached a tacit understanding, turned back to Wenzhao Pavilion, and continued to be busy.

Time passed day by day, and the wind and cranes in Nanzhili were heard and the guillotine he raised had not fallen. This made the entire Nanzhili breathless, and countless people lived in fear and anxiety.

The "Bandit Suppression Battle" in Shaanxi and Sichuan has achieved remarkable results. Countless hills, bandits were wiped out, and the strength of the official army was fully demonstrated at this moment. These tigers roared at the mountains and forests, trying to become kings. The bandit leaders who bullied the side had no power to fight back and had almost no victory. Under the strong attack of the official army, they were quickly pacified like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

On July 26, the second year of Jingzheng, it was sunny.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter." In the shade of the trees in the imperial garden, Zhu Xu looked at the hot sunlight in the gap, wiped sweat with a handkerchief, and gasped.

Bumubutai sat on the stone bench beside him, poured him a cup of herbal tea, and said, "The summer in recent years has become hotter and hotter. I heard that some places in the south of the Yangtze River have dried up. Once heavy rains are enough to flood many places, and drought and flood are repeated."

Zhu Xu took a sip of herbal tea and sighed: "The weather is changing, but the people are suffering."

Except for Nanzhili, almost all other places in the Ming Dynasty were suffering from drought and floods. After a while, the Ming Dynasty did not know how much damage it would cost, and how many disaster victims would occur.

Bumu Butai knew a lot about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. He picked up a fan and slapped Zhu Xu, saying, "I have set 10 million stones of food with the Western barbarians and other merchants from other countries. They will come one after another in the second half of the year. It should be able to help the emperor."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xu was still very pleased. He took her hand and said, "Well, don't care about silver, even if you sprinkle it out. Silver itself is useless, and food is the most practical. By the way, I heard that if you only have a spice, you will earn more than 10 million yuan a year?"

The spice was in the old port, which is the Malaysian area in later generations. It is now controlled by the Shenlong Mansion, which is Bumubutai.

Bumubutai thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is no market. In addition, many other goods are also profitable. The Shenlong Mansion is in the old port alone. The estimated annual income of Luzon provinces is more than 30 million taels of silver. There are at least 20 million taels of silver around the Ming Dynasty, and 50 million can be found every year. I heard that these two victories are also stepping up the cultivation, and I believe that a lot of food will be used for disaster relief next year."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. Even though he had a guess in his heart, he was still quite surprised by these huge profits.

But thinking about it, the Ming Dynasty now almost monopolized all the maritime trade in Asia, especially many goods are unique, monopoly and huge profits. In addition, the old port is still predatory and pays very little, 50 million a year, not much. You should know that before the Wanli and during the Jiajing period, hundreds of millions of silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty every year!

Zhu Xu was also looking forward to Luzon and the old Hong Kong provinces being able to import grain from the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
