Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three The King of Forbidden Letters

Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes slightly cold.

Zhu Youjian's move was completely beyond his expectations. The cabinet was the most important part of his next promotion of political reform and it was absolutely impossible to lose!

Cao Huachun also showed a look of worry. The reason why the emperor stayed in the king's name was because of his potential importance. If he really decided to "get a vassal", when the emperor had not yet taken power, the court and the emperor would fall into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Not easy to deal with!

In the imperial study room, a needle can be heard!

After a while, Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "I believe that the king has made mistakes in virtue. From now on, I will think of my mistakes in the door and not go out without the will. The cabinet will handle all matters by the origin of the sect."

Cao Huachun looked worried and said, "Emperor, will this lose the emperor's benevolence... I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary speculation in the court and the public."

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Then you underestimate my royal brother too much. He will write a letter to apologize in the end... Besides, the government and the public are now talking about him and impeachment continues. It is time to give an explanation."

Zhu Xu also wanted to teach Zhu Youjian a lesson and criticize him for being obedient.

Cao Huachun didn't know much about King Xin. He listened to Zhu Xu's words and nodded, "Abide by the order, I will go and pass the order, and then let the imperial guards escort him out of the palace."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Yes, go."

Cao Huachun came out of the Sili Supervisor and planned the order for Zhu Xu to see it. Then he pronounced the order to Zhu Youjian, who was kneeling outside Jingyang Palace.

When he heard the will to scold him for being "wrong in virtue and improper governance", his face changed slightly. When he heard the emperor wanted to imprison him in the mansion, his expression changed drastically, and he looked unbelievable!

He bet wrong!

He thought the emperor would give in, would keep him, and would give more power, but he never expected that the emperor would ban him without concession this time!

Zhu Youjian's eyes flashed constantly, and he regretted not following Wang Chengen's words.

At this moment, ten thousand thoughts in his mind were turning, but he had no idea.

Cao Huachun looked cold and looked at the King of Xin kneeling there, and said coldly, "Come here, take him away!"

Zhu Youjian's face was constantly changing, and he was only awakened until he was dragged away by the imperial guards. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say a word and was escorted out of the palace.

The palace was staring at it for countless eyes every day. Although King Xin was not shackled, he was escorted by the imperial guards and did not hide at all. It spread throughout the capital in an instant.

King Xin had always had this special status in the Chongzhen Dynasty, not to mention that he was the emperor's elder brother. If he was dismissed from favor, he would shock the Ming Dynasty and the people!

Not long after, the cabinet issued the edict from the Lijian Supervisor, and it was suddenly in an uproar!

"Have you heard that? I believe that the king has lost his virtue and was imprisoned in the mansion by the emperor!"

"I have also heard that there have been too many people impeaching him recently. I am afraid that the emperor can't withstand the pressure..."

"I want me to tell you, it is a good thing to be dismissed from the king. The royal family is contrary to the ancestral system. It just so happens that the emperor should rectify it..."

"Yes, the emperor has grown up, and the photos of the late emperor have been completed. I should be the vassal of the king... No, leave the capital..."

The people are all talking about it for granted, but the officials in the court and the country do not think so.

The sudden fall of King Xin means that the cabinet will be reshuffled, and the six ministries will undergo great changes. The six ministries will affect the whole country, which indicates that the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom will be shocked!

The Ming Dynasty has been relatively stable since the Chongzhen Dynasty. The six ministers have hardly changed, and the Wen Zhao Pavilion is also vague, so the party struggle is difficult to carry out. But this time it is different. The cabinet is relocated, and countless ambitious people see hope and want to gain a good position or two!

Many people are very sensitive to the court. British Duke Zhang Weixian, Empress Dowager Zhang Guoji, Ping Wang Zhu Changrun, etc., and even Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others were alarmed and went to the palace to see Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu had expected that he would let Cao Huachun wait outside the Jingyang Palace Gate, and use his original words to send him one by one.

In this way, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. These people were considered "vested interests" of the Chongzhen Dynasty. No matter which clique, as long as the party struggles again, it was not in their interests.

Zhu Xu had his own concerns about Zhu Youjian. Although these written by the six ministers of the Shangshu were not comprehensive, they also had a rough model. With this, there would be development plans for next year and in the next few years.

Zhu Xu's mind is full of these things now, and he can't see anything else. After a while, he raised his head, shook it again, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked outside with wide eyes, but he still couldn't stand the burning, and his expression was a little dazed.

Liu Shimin has returned and has been paying attention to Zhu Xu. Seeing his expression, he knew that it was excessive consumption of energy. He took a step closer and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's the end of the year and the capital is very lively. Should you go out of the palace to have a look?"

Speaking of which, Zhu Xu had indeed not left the palace for a long time. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Well, then, let's go out and relax. It's still early, let's go away."

Liu Shimin was about to arrange someone, but when he heard this, he was stunned and said, "Where is the emperor going?"

All reforms are for fundamental land reform. Zhu Xu wanted to see how the farmers live now. Although the vicinity of the capital may be much better than the southwest, after all, it is true to see it and there is a clear idea in his heart.

"Go out of the south gate, twenty miles!" Zhu Xu stood up, there was a farm there, which was under Huitong Trading Company. The tax and rent were collected nearly twice as much as the southwest policy. If the southwest was thirty, one would be taken near the capital city.

Liu Shimin responded thoughtfully and left Jingyang Palace to make arrangements.

The group was dressed in casual clothes, looking like a rich young master, with a middle-aged servant and six or seven strong men.

A group of people quietly left the palace. Zhu Xu sat in the carriage, walking slowly, and his eyes were watching around the streets.

The Ming Dynasty actually did not pay much attention to the New Year. However, the Lantern Festival after the New Year was extremely lively. However, even so, there were still many people coming and going on the streets, with cars like flowing water and horses like dragons and crowds.

"Young Master, do you want a couplet? It was written by Hanlin in the dynasty..."

"Young Master, do you want a lantern? Exclusively made by hand, you can't buy it elsewhere...ah..."

"Young master, do you want a mirror? Giving the ladies is the best New Year gift, only two taels of silver..."

Zhu Xu, who was sold, was very new. It was not that he had never seen it, but that he had not met it for a long time. He bought a few of them, which made his carriage surrounded and was so crowded that it was almost impossible to move forward.

After finally leaving the city, Zhu Xu's carriage was filled with a lot of gadgets.

There are no machines now, most of the things are handmade, they look rough, but they are more attentive.

The carriage headed south and soon left the cement road. The carriage bumped and walked slowly.
