Chapter 1073: Asking the Government

On the first day of August in the second year of Jingzheng.

Early in the morning, it was lightly dawn and the breeze blew.

The adults from the outer court lined up neatly, waiting for the bells in the palace.

There are five auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, six ministers, ministers of the ministers, five major local prime ministers, Shaanxi, Xi, Jiang and Su provinces, and more than 20 people, neatly arranged in two teams, each of whom was silent and had different expressions.

At least they all went to Beijing the night before yesterday, but after more than a day of inquiry, they didn’t wait for any good news, but instead became more and more uneasy.

Bi Ziyan stood in front with his hands behind his back, and Sun Chengzong was leading the way on the right. The two of them had no expression on their faces and had no words.

The Jing King, Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others stood quietly, lowering their heads slightly and bowing, not knowing what they were thinking.

The Golden Palace, the most grand and solemn hall in the past, has not been opened for a long time. Since Zhu Xu ascended the throne, he has not been opened several times in total.

This time, something big will happen again!

This is the common voice of everyone. No one whispers at this time, holding his breath and concentrating, orderly and thinking like a tide.

At the same time, in Kunning Palace, Zhu Xu stretched out his arms, Zhang Yun and a group of palace maids were wearing him dragon robe, the most formal and complex one, from the feet to the top of his head, every detail must be exquisite to the best.

In the past, Zhu Xu was very upset about these things. If you can be simpler, it is simpler. Now, the requirements are extremely high.

Zhang Yun knew that Zhu Xu always liked "simple" and was most annoying to those cumbersome rituals and etiquette. Seeing that he cared so much this time, he knew the importance of today's things and was more attentive.

Cao Huachun stood not far away and said, "Your Majesty, don't you draft a manuscript?"

Cao Huachun vaguely knew what Zhu Xu was going to do and was a little worried. Although the current court was not like seven or eight years ago, the adults in the outer court were still "old stubborn" and would not compromise on some issues.

Zhu Xu's shoulders were sore, and he was still holding them up, and his expression remained unchanged: "There is nothing to prepare. You can say wherever you think of and tidy up later. This time, I will tear a gap in their heads!"

Although Cao Huachun vaguely knew it, he could not guess what Zhu Xu was going to do. He seemed to understand what he said, so he did not continue to ask.

Zhu Xu felt that she was about to wear it, so she said to Zhang Yun: "BumuButai is about to leave Beijing. You can send it to him at that time. Ci Yi, take care of him first. If there is any problem, go find Hai Lanzhu."

Zhang Yun buttoned Zhu Xu one by one and said, "Yes, I understand that Ci Yi is very obedient, but he doesn't worry about it."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, Zhang Yun knew the general and knew the right attitude, so he didn't need to say much.

The dull and heavy bell sounded again outside the palace. After hearing three sounds, Cao Huachun said, "Master, the time is almost over."

Zhu Xu looked outside, squinted his eyes, his eyes were deep and as if they were glowing, and his voice was a bit vague: "Okay, let's go."

"yes."

Cao Huachun ordered people to set up a journey, and the new imperial guards commander Wang Yizhou guarded Zhu Xu on the right side, and a team of majestic guards followed him and headed straight for the Huangji Palace.

The Golden Palace is commonly known as Fengtian Palace, and was originally named after it. It was changed to the Huangji Palace during the Jiajing period.

In the Golden Palace, there are civil and military branches on both sides of the main hall. The needles can be heard and I am waiting silently.

"The Emperor is here!"

Cao Huachun's sharp voice suddenly rang at the left door, and then Zhu Xu strode forward and walked straight towards the dragon throne.

"I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor!"

More than 20 people including Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others saluted.

Zhu Xu was wearing a dragon robe and was unprecedentedly serious. He stood in the imperial table, looked around the hall, and smiled and said, "My dear friends... flat!"

"Thank you, the emperor." These senior officials of the Ming Dynasty stood up with a thorough manner.

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the group of people, and said happily: "I have never liked to sit so high. I feel that it is a distance from you and I have to speak so loudly. When the cabinet is built, we can go there, and there is no need to be so far away."

Bi Ziyan looked at Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin standing on both sides of Zhu Xu, especially Wang Yizhou who was standing not far from the imperial table, and his heart was slightly sank.

Zhu Xu said nonsense without nutrition, and it was impossible to answer, so he finished speaking and there was no surprise that the situation was unsuccessful.

Zhu Xu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and took a sip of tea and said, "Tell me the serious business, uncle, what's the situation in the six provinces of Shaanxi and Sichuan?"

There is no government or civilian who is not aware of the situation now. Fu Changzong stepped out and raised his hand and said, "Back to the emperor, on the surface, it is the gentry and other gentry dissatisfied with the 'new policy' of the court and wanted to threaten the court with this. In fact, this matter was a long-term plan for rebels and traitors, and they had been planning for a long time, and they were not accused of the emperor, the court, and attempted to subvert the country and harm the people. From ordinary people, merchants, scholars, and wealthy gentry to officials of the government and the government, it mainly happened in the border areas between Shaanxi, Xi and Sichuan. The land was remote and sparsely populated, and the government could not completely control it. It has been basically pacified and there is no major problem at the moment..."

Zhu Xu's face was satisfied, his eyes turned to Yang Jingchen and said, "Where is Jiang Su?"

Yang Jingchen stepped out and raised his hand and said, "Return to the emperor, Jiang and Su are basically stable, and all crimes have been dealt with. I have discussed and will form some special institutions to deal with such emergencies and ensure that Jiang and Su are peaceful and stable, and no more similar incidents occur. Please rest assured by me."

Yang Jingchen said it even simpler, almost just a word.

Zhu Xu looked at Yang Jingchen with a calm expression, his eyes fell on Bi Ziyan in the front, and said, "I will not hold accountable for this matter, nor will I investigate it in depth. What I want to ask is why this matter happened and what is the root cause? What is the process, who is participating, and what is the purpose? Will such an incident still happen, how to avoid it and eliminate it?"

Zhu Xu's eyes were looking at what Bi Ziyan said, and Bi Ziyan almost subconsciously stood up.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Bi Ziyan, who asked about this, had a lot of experience. After leaving the list, he raised his hand and thought for a while, and said: "Return to the emperor, I believe that there are two reasons why this happened. One is that the party struggle has not yet been cleared, and the other resists the "new policy". Most of these people are the remnants of the party struggles in the past, and they must be extended to the Jiajing period. These people admire the glory and wealth of the past, and the power is in hand, and the dirty and dirty trading methods. They are not used to the "new policy" and resist the clear and clear government affairs, and the rules and regulations are quite clear. In my opinion, it is inevitable and unsurprising to me. After this battle, I feel that these people no longer have the ability to cause trouble again. First, the "new policy" is gradually improved, and more and more people recognize it. Secondly, the imperial court's control over the local area is strengthened, and a little storm is not enough to shake the country, and the local area can be easily dealt with. The facts also prove this point..."

Bi Ziyan's speech was organized and very rigorous, and he was almost irrefutable when he was reasonable and presented.

Many people nodded secretly, and all what Mr. Bi Ge said was on the verge of the point, hitting the point.

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Gemaster Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu, went out with a deep look and said, "Emperor, I believe that this matter is inevitable, and will happen sooner or later. This time, the remaining poison will be removed, and my Ming Dynasty will have peace for at least ten or even decades."

Zhu Xu's eyes turned to King Jing behind Sun Chengzong, and said, "King Jing, Master Sun Ge said, 'More than ten years or even decades of peace', why can't we live in peace forever and peace forever?"

King Jing has a special identity and has always been a little transparent person. He tried his best to avoid military and national affairs. Seeing Zhu Xu asking about it, he was caught off guard. After leaving the list, he quickly thought about it and said, "Return to the emperor, I believe that it is the heart of the people. People's hearts are greedy, like ants collapse, and the rules will eventually be eaten up and riddled with holes, and the chaos will appear again. Looking at historical books, small families have been defeated in three generations, and it has been so great that all dynasties have been unbearable for three generations, and they have been unable to control themselves for a long time, and they have lost their families and lost their country. It is nothing more than this."

Zhu Xu opened his eyes and was quite surprised that King Jing could say such words. He gave him a smile of praise and looked at Wang Qiaonian behind Bi Ziyan, and said, "Gei Wang, why do you think the 'three generations' of King Jing said?"

Wang Qiaonian's resume is not very solid. He was suddenly promoted from the Royal Court and served as the auxiliary minister. He is the person with the shallowest foundation.

But he was also a Jinshi, and he read enough books to leave the list, and said happily: "It has been difficult to start a business since ancient times, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. The younger generation did not know the hardships of our ancestors in starting a business, they were greedy and flirted with labor, and they were extravagant, so they lost their ancestors' foundation. They were confused and did not know themselves, and they regretted it too late."
