The first year of Chongzhen, on the third day of the sixth month.

Huang Liji, a member of the Wenzhao Pavilion, left Beijing and took office as governor of Jiang/Su.

With the recommendation of King Xin, Wen Tiren returned to serve as the Minister of Rites.

Zhou Yanru entered Wenzhao Pavilion and ranked seventh.

Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others were pardoned and released from prison after King Xin pleaded for mercy and entered the Governor's Office.

The efforts of King Xin and his team caused a huge shock in the government and the country, and countless people wanted to step into King Xin's mansion.

Zhu Youjian had the support of Qingliu, especially the Donglin Party, and Zhu Xu's acquisition, and soon his momentum rose sharply. As the Prime Minister, Zhu Youjian convened the Ministry of Personnel, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Rites to discuss important matters, including this year's imperial examination, Beijing inspection, and official assessment.

Jingyang Palace Partial Hall.

Zhu Xu sat opposite Fu Changzong, drinking tea while listening to Fu Changzong's report.

"Your Majesty, it's almost done,"

Fu Changzong put a small note in front of him, and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Our dynasty trades with Jiannu and Tatars, with less entry and more exit, and the most smuggling is the most. Roughly counting it, it is more than three million taels. However, most of the Shanxi merchants on the border are under control, and Zhang/jiakou has also been severely rectified, and smuggling is not that easy. If you want to ban it, you will be sure to control it."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "The weather will get colder and colder in the future, and severe drought will keep the sky. Blocking Jiannu is of great strategic significance and no one can stop it!"

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't say much, Fu Changzong responded and said, "The customs has been initially built, but the sea trade business has been boycotted by various places, and many people even attacked the customs."

Zhu Xu smiled faintly and said, "No surprise, just take it slowly. There are always times when they can't help but pay the money."

Fu Changzong said: "I have calculated with the Ministry of Revenue. If it is appropriate, the customs can pay more than 2 million taels of taxes to the court's income every year, so we need to find a solution as soon as possible."

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, thought for a while and said, "Well, this money is all included in Huitong Trading Bank, so don't go to the Ministry of Revenue."

Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu with a strange expression and said, "This year, the Ministry of Revenue Tax Bank has a total of 4.27 million taels, and now, there are only 300,000 left."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Brother Xin Wang, I am willing to give up power slowly. Don't worry about money, I want to see the abilities of Wen Zhaoge and his team."

Fu Changzong understood Zhu Xu's meaning and said, "Your Majesty, the next thing that the Ministry of Revenue is to put in taxes and make every effort to solve the tax sharing matter first."

The most difficult thing in the world is silver. Any money involved is even more serious than murdering parents.

If the court wants to seize tax rights from the local government, it will probably cause fierce resistance. With the court's weak control over the local government, even if the order is issued, it will only be empty.

Zhu Xu pondered, knocking his fingers on the table quickly and quickly, and then said, "Take it slow, every province, every province promotion, be safe!"

Fu Changzong bowed slightly and was about to say something again, Liu Shimin stepped in and said, "Emperor, Jiannu has sent an envoy to the capital."

Zhu Xu was stunned, looked up and said, "What does Jiannu mean?"

Cao Huachun took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the news came from Jiannu, that Jiannu had three plans. The first was to redeem Daishan, Tong Yangzhen and Jiannu's troops with horses, food and grass. The second was to be able to surrender and accept the title of our dynasty. The third was to redeem Daishan, Tong Yangzhen and others, and the others would not care about it."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, nodded immediately, and smiled and said, "Let the Ministry of War go to negotiate. I won't see you. Let me discuss the memorial for me to show you."

"Abide by the order!" Liu Shimin agreed and turned around and went out to pass the order.

Nanjing.

Wei Zhongxian sat in the sedan chair, carrying nearly a hundred Jinyiwei, beating drums and drums, and opening the way for the ceremonial war, fully demonstrating the power of the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory.

Nanjing/Beijing is prosperous and there are many shops. The most important thing is that there are high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, showing their luxury and decay.

Many people didn't know that Wei Zhongxian was coming to Nanjing. They were surprised to see his sedan chair and talked a lot.

"This is Wei Zhongxian. What did he do when he comes to Nanjing or Jing?"

"The eunuch is afraid he doesn't have good intentions, so I don't know who is going to be in trouble again!"

"If you have such a big situation, you can't do it. Go and invite Duke of Wei and the eunuchs to guard the country. Only they can suppress Wei Zhongxian!"

"Fuck, they can suppress Wei Zhongxian and are fantastic!"

"No, he went for the eunuch in charge!"

How could Wei Zhongxian care about other people's comments? He came down from the sedan chair and landed in front of the eunuch's mansion.

A middle-aged eunuch led out with a dignified expression, not like an eunuch, but more like a military general. He watched Wei Zhongxian walk out of the sedan chair, quickly stepped forward and bowed diligently, "I have seen Eunuch Wei, but I don't know that my father-in-law came to Nanjing, but what's the matter?"

Wei Zhongxian was wearing a python suit, with two glass balls in his hand, and said with a smile: "Of course there is something wrong, and you, the eunuch, need to do your work."

The so-called eunuchs in garrison and eunuchs in garrison are all the emperor's eyes. The eunuchs in garrison are sent out of the Silijian, and the eunuchs in garrison in Nanjing are more like imitations or branches of the Silijian!

However, this aroused the fear of the outer court, and repeatedly resisted, deposed and established repeatedly, and was expelled during the Jiajing period. When Wei Zhongxian was arrogant, it was restored. This eunuch who was guarding was Wei Zhongxian's person.

The eunuch in charge hurriedly bowed and said, "If you have any words, please tell me, I will follow you in everything."

Wei Zhongxian's face was dark, and it was difficult to see his thoughts from above. He looked at the streets in the distance and said, "How much can you control the military power of Nanjing?"

Nanjing/Beijing is a very complicated place. As the capital, it retains a lot of power, such as the appointment of officials around Nanjing/Beijing, city defense, and even the Ministry of War has certain military power!

The eunuch in charge was stunned and said carefully: "Brother-in-law, what are you going to do?"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes were slightly cold, and he stretched out his eyes. The Jinyiwei behind him took out a golden imperial edict and a Shangfang sword.

The eunuch at the garrison changed his expression and explained seriously: "Duke, the military power is in the hands of the Ministry of War and the Duke of Wei, and the total number is only 20,000."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes were cold and said, "The Zajia has gone to Xinjiang/General Su Wu Xiang. He will transfer more than 10,000 people as needed for training. I want you to take control of the rest immediately!"

The eunuch in custody looked embarrassed and said, "Duke, it's okay for the Ministry of War. Duke Wei is deeply rooted in Nanjing and has a deep relationship with the nobles. It is probably not easy for me to steal power from him."

Wei Zhongxian smiled faintly and said, "After meeting the family, you go to see Xu Wenjue. You go to see Wang Yongguang. What should you do? Don't need the family to teach you?"

The eunuch in charge still didn't understand what Wei Zhongxian was going to do, but with the imperial edict and Shangfang sword, he did not hesitate and bowed and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely make you beautiful!"

Wei Zhongxian carried his back with one hand, glanced at him, turned around and got into the sedan chair again.

A large group of people, majestic, headed straight for the Duke of Wei's mansion.

At this moment, Xu Wenjue's face was gloomy, and a group of nobles from the South/Beijing were sitting below.

"Mr. Wei Zhongxian is so arrogant. He is so blatant in Nanjing/Beijing to show off his power, has he ever taken us seriously?"

"Yes, Nanjing/Beijing is not the capital, it's not that he can do whatever he wants!"

"If he dares to do something randomly, he will just take it off and send it back to the capital. We should see, the emperor, how can the King of Trustees do to us!"

Xu Wenjue looked ugly. He hated Wei Zhongxian. Originally, Nanjing was a paradise for them, but he had created some eunuchs to guard them. It was clearly here to monitor them. This time, his power in Nanjing was even more showing him the color!

Xu Wenjue's head was the seat of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. He looked at Xu Wenjue and said coldly, "Mr. Master, no matter who Wei Zhongxian comes to this time, he must stop it, otherwise no one will take the Duke seriously."

A group of people agreed, all thinking of boycotting Wei Zhongxian and not allowing him to do whatever he wants in Nanjing.

Xu Wenjue didn't say anything, he frowned and his face turned gloomy.

After the connection, King Fu and others stopped fighting, Zhang Weixian handed over military power, but only he was standing firmly like a pine tree.

He was fearless. The Duke of Wei was different from the Duke of Xu in the capital. He was a hero of Jingnan and was grateful for his generation. He was in Nanjing for more than a hundred years. He had a huge influence and had far-reaching influence. What's more, he also controlled the military power of the garrison in Nanjing!

Xu Wenjue heard a group of people clamoring and said in a deep voice, "Don't make a noise, let's see what Wei Zhongxian wants to do first. If you don't nod in Nanjing, he can't do anything!"

The Duke of Wei is in Nanjing, which is more important than the Duke of Britain in the capital, and it is truly of a higher position and a higher power!
