The heavy snow in the capital took three days to weaken, but the sporadic snowflakes did not stop completely, as if they had to persevere until the end of the month.

As a result, the weather in the capital also seemed to be extremely cold. With the new detection method from the Imperial Heaven Supervision, the temperature has approached minus 25 degrees Celsius, which is the highest temperature during the day and will be even lower at night!

Such bad weather is extremely rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty. If there is a record of the past, it is probably rare!

Almost everyone wrapped in thick and solid clothes in the entire palace. Zhu Xu also cut off nearly half of his manpower, most of them hid in the room, and he was unwilling to take risks.

Xiao Yongning, who is lively and lively on weekdays, is now staying in his bedroom and refuses to come out. He is wrapped like a rice dumpling, holding the stove, reading books very quietly.

Five stoves were burning in the imperial study room, but he still couldn't reach out. Zhu Xu felt that his face was frozen, everything was cold and he didn't want to touch it.

When it was time for lunch, Zhu Xu rubbed his hands, looked outside, and said, "Is it colder outside?"

Cao Huachun stood beside Zhu Xu and said, "Yes, I heard that the ink on the Ministry of Revenue has been frozen, so Fu Shangshu even had a holiday for this. There was a lot of charcoal fires burning in the Ministry of Justice, and almost water was gone. The tea on the Ministry of Rites was boiling, but it turned cold if you accidentally... "

Zhu Xu felt a little more comfortable while drinking hot soup, and said, "What do you say about the memoirs in various places?"

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu and said, "I checked roughly the other side of Shuntian Mansion. Almost all the north of the capital were covered with heavy snow. The river, south, west, and east were better. The specific disaster situation may have to wait until the snow melts before the prediction."

Zhu Xu nodded and was about to have a meal, and said, "Tell the cabinet that the disaster-responding yamen should form a long-term, continuous and uninterrupted detection system. For disaster situations, it is not limited to floods, droughts, plagues, locusts, snow disasters, etc., it is necessary to make good predictions for prevention and control, disaster relief, disaster relief, post-disaster reconstruction, etc. At the same time, a complete set of policies and measures should be formed. This should be taken as one of the key points of government affairs in the future, and there should be no carelessness..."

"After the order." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu didn't speak anymore and ate quickly, but he only drank a few more sips of the soup. His appetite became clear. After cleaning up, he wiped his mouth. He looked at the scattered snow outside and said, "How are the roads outside cleaning?"

Cao Huachun glanced outside and said, "Back to the emperor, starting yesterday, the patrol camp and Shuntian Mansion have been organizing people to clean up continuously, and wearing water boots should be fine."

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, thinking to himself.

Last year was the year when he established the "New Deal". This year was even more important. He will further strengthen the "New Deal" and declare his unwavering will!

Zhu Xu's fingers knocked on the table faster and he shrank again and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Go, let Wu Youwei wait outside Chengtian Gate, I'm going to meet Master Yang."

Cao Huachun's heart moved slightly and bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu looked outside and breathed a deep breath, his eyes deep.

Mr. Yang, that is, Yang Lian and Yang Dahong, when Empress Dowager Zhang was worried that Zhu Xu would be involved in the party struggles in the court, there would be dangers, so she specially found Yang Lian, who was a very good official in the Donglin Party at that time, to serve as a teacher to protect Zhu Xu. Yang Lian was rigid and strict, and did not teach Zhu Xu several times in total. The court changed dramatically every day, and Yang Lian was also thinking about party struggles. In addition, Zhu Xu was also preparing for the throne at that time, and both of them stopped class tacitly.

After Zhu Xu ascended the throne, a series of major events came to an end, so naturally there was no way to attend classes. Then the Donglin Party attempted to join the court again, touching Zhu Xu's bottom line. Yang Lian slowly walked to his opposite side until Zhu Xu, who was furious in the court, completely wiped out the court and was imprisoned.

Because of the great influence of this case, Zhu Xu used secret and quick conclusion methods, killing him, and exiling him.

Yang Lian was sentenced to life imprisonment for his special status and has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice since then.

It can be said that Zhu Xu and Yang Lian, the master and apprentice, have not attended classes several times from beginning to end. Yang Lian is also different from the imperial masters of all generations and is considered nominal.

Wu Youwei provided Zhu Xu with an interesting way of dealing with it, that is, "pardon".

This "special amnesty" is indeed a very good way for Zhu Xu now. It not only releases goodwill to the scholars of the world, bridges the cracks, and reduces confrontations, but also provides a case of Donglin. Once the "special amnesty" Yang Lian, the case of Donglin will be completely determined and becomes the past!

Wu Youwei could not even imagine that the "special pardon" Yang Lian not only would not help him, but would also block Donglin's road to resurrection!

Zhu Xu had a firm thought, so he changed into a regular dress, wore water boots, and was wrapped in thick and solid clothes, leaving Jingyang Palace.

When he came to Qianqing Palace and looked at the people coming and going inside, Zhu Xu suddenly felt a little moved and said to Cao Huachun: "Let me go to the cabinet to see it. If the remodeling sketch comes out, I will show it to me first. Don't rush to make a decision."

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu walked along the way, and the palace was cleaned up well. At least the main roads were cleared out, and thick snow piles were piled everywhere, which was probably not going to melt for ten days and half a month.

A group of people walked through the Meridian Gate, Chengtian Gate, left the right gate of Chang'an, and then turned into the Western Princess Gate.

The Five Army Protectorate has been abolished, and the Ministry of Justice has moved to the original office of the Central Army Governor's Office. The Dali Temple, the Governor's Yuan, etc. are also moved here together. There are also Taichang Temple, Tongzheng Envoy Department, the former Jinyiwei's current Jianxie Department, etc., across the Daming Gate, there are five departments including the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and the Honglu Temple, the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor, the Imperial Hospital, etc.

Wu Youwei was waiting at the West Princess Sect. When he saw Zhu Xu, he stepped forward with a look of humility or arrogant expression, raised his hand and bowed: "My minister Wu Youwei met the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Xu looked at it and found that he had never seen many officials of the fourth rank. He was a good person and had a good temperament. He was just a little blind, but he was a pity.

After waved his hand, Zhu Xu said, "I have read your memorial. It is well written. I have some insights. Let's go and meet Master Yang with me."

Wu Youwei's expression was still, but his heart was extremely excited. Disdain and contempt flashed through his eyes, and he stepped forward and said, "I obey the order."

Although his decree to be transferred to the Royal Court has not been issued yet, the cabinet has already drafted a decree and notified the Tongzheng Envoy Department. This is only a squad transfer, not an promotion. But look at Wang Qiaonian's transfer from the Royal Court to the Dali Temple Minister, everyone speculated that Wu Youwei was the prelude to his promotion. It won't take long to go to the Six Ministry. There are even rumors that he would be promoted to the Six Ministry and the Six Ministry, and the cabinet is just around the corner!

Wu Youwei was still a little hesitant. Now that he saw the emperor coming to the Ministry of Justice to see Yang Lian in person, he felt very calm and happy. His expression became more and more calm and calm, as if everything was in control.

Zhu Xu walked slowly and looked at Wu Youwei from time to time. This person's appearance was really good. If he hadn't known that he had taken the wrong path, he might have been deceived by him.

Zhang Wenda had already received the news and was waiting at the gate early. Seeing Zhu Xu coming in disguise, he stepped forward and raised his hand and said, "I will meet the emperor." There were also important officials from the Ministry of Justice behind him, and they all raised their hands to salute.

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said, "Everyone is free from courtesy, take me to see Yang Dahong."

When Zhang Wenda heard this, his eyes changed slightly. He hesitated and stepped forward and said, "I wonder what the emperor has done to see Yang Dahong?"

Zhu Xu walked into the Ministry of Justice and said, "You will know when you go in."

Yang Lian is the last seedling of the Donglin Party. Zhang Wenda does not want something to happen to him, nor does he hope that it will attract greater criticism from the government and the opposition.

Liao Changyong led Zhu Xu straight to the dungeon. He was cautious and did not dare to say too much. Yang Lian was the imperial master and did not understand the holy intention. Whoever talked more would be unlucky.

Wu Youwei followed Zhang Wenda behind, looking at his back, and sneered in his heart. Zhang Wenda is also a cunning person. If he gains power in the future, he must be sentenced to this prison for punishment!

Surrounded by a group of people, Zhu Xu went straight to the cell where Yang Lian was.

Liao Changyong stopped in front of a cell with very tight defense, and whispered to Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, this is here."

Zhu Xu also appeared outside the railing and looked inside.

The room was very tidy, with bedding, bedding, table, and four treasures of the study. If it weren't for the railings, it would look like a good inn. Yang Lian was sitting at the table. Judging from his side, he looked very clean, his hair was combed with a refreshing body. He looked straight at a book, quiet and calm.

It seemed as if I had read the key point, but it took me a while to turn my head and look out of the cell. I stayed in the crowd and saw Zhu Xu. My eyes were slightly condensed. After hesitating for a while, I got up and walked over, wearing my uniform, and saluted with a blank expression: "Sinner Yang Lian, see the Emperor."

Zhu Xu looked at him and said that his teacher was still as smelly as before. He seemed to have owed him a lot and never paid it back when he saw anyone. He frowned, and his worries and anger and dissatisfaction were on his face.

"How is Master Yang lately?" Zhu Xu looked at Yang Lian for a while and spoke. His teacher was completely opposite to him. He had to stop everything he did, as if he was wrong, but he still had the mind and ambition of "taking the world as his responsibility."

Yang Lian withdrew his hand, looked up at Zhu Xu, and said lightly, "The criminal minister has always been like this, but the emperor has shown his might and has become more and more emperorly dignified."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and thought about this sentence. He wasn't he mocking me, right?

Literary people always speak "sneaky". The more educated a person is, the more they are, and they will be fooled if they are accidentally.

Looking at a thick stack of newspapers not far from his desk, Zhu Xu affirmed that his teacher was mocking him.

'It seems that I am very dissatisfied...' Zhu Xu said in his heart.

Thinking about it, in Yang Lian's eyes, he was a tyrant monarch who killed loyal and kind executioner and destroyed the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. He had no good feelings!

It's impossible to reason, Zhu Xu glanced at Wu Youwei not far away.

Wu Youwei immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Mr. Yang, the emperor is here to pardon you and let you go."
