Shandong Ji 0 South has been a place of famous places since ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty. Because it was close to the Grand Canal, its prosperity and prosperity were no less than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

On this day, Zhu Youxiao's imperial guards also marched to the territory of Ji0 Nan Prefecture. Although he had not arrived in Ji0 Nan City, he also felt the approaching of the Ming Dynasty metropolis from the increasingly dense merchant ships.

Like Zhu Youxiao, there are three local officials who stay on this shimmering canal.

One of them was Sun Chengzong, a trilateral general who came from the northwest. He had been in charge of the bitter and cold land in the northwest for many years and began to become frugal.

He was wearing a commoner and then rode a small boat. On this vast Grand Canal, where thousands of sails passed by, no one could recognize that this thin old man was Sun Chengzong, a second-rank official with the title of Minister of War.

Sun Chengzong looked at the 10,000 acres of crops and merchant ships coming and going in front of him, and when he thought of the people in the northwest who relied on the court to provide relief, he couldn't help but worry.

After only a few months in the northwest, Sun Chengzong completely became a reformist faction and became a member of the royalist party. When Zhu Youxiao sent someone to convey to him that he wanted to implement the implementation of a deposit and acres in the northwest Shaanxi and West, he directly expressed his support.

Now that Zhu Youxiaoxing is rushing to meet His Majesty, he is full of confidence and has even made the mental preparation to become the second Wang Jiefu and Zhang Jiangling, including their ending.

Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying came from the south. He was riding a Mingwa Tower boat proudly holding the railings and watching the ripples in front of him that were paddled with wooden pulp.

This was his first time to meet a saint. As a member of the old eunuch party, he was very excited. He never set himself as a moral benchmark like the Donglin Party. Of course, he never thought that he would really solve the dangers of the people. He was a realist, and his most basic principle was to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he refused to follow any other rules.

Just like him in later history, although he was treacherous and intended to be a powerful minister, he could still sacrifice his tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Although there was no small matter, he would not lose his righteousness.

This time, His Majesty wants him to set a precedent for heavy commercial taxes in Fengyang. He is full of confidence. From a personal perspective, this will be a big fat man as a salt farm, copper mine, etc. From a national perspective, it is naturally a great thing to improve the revenue of the Ming Dynasty's treasury. Why not do such a win-win situation?

What's more, he himself is a native of Gui0 Yang, and he is a traditional gentry and has always discriminated against business. Now he has increased taxes on these profit-seeking merchants. This is his ideal when he was young and an inducement for his willingness to become a eunuch party.

Therefore, Ma Shiying decided to fulfill His Majesty's policies without hesitation after meeting the Holy See.

Yuan Keli was promoted from Governor Denglai to the Governor of Shandong and the Right Deputy Censor and was given the title of Prince's Young Guard. He was over 60 years old and was able to serve as an official again at His Majesty Zhu Youxiao. The reason was naturally not to go further in his career, but to complete the unfinished things in his life.

Especially now that the Ming Dynasty is in a difficult situation and is difficult to cure its chronic diseases, even though his temples are pale, he has been working in the local area for many years and witnessing the tragic situation of countless people, but he still resolutely chose to follow His Majesty to give the Ming Dynasty a dose of strong medicine.

Although my son is young today, he has the ambition to govern the world, how could he, an elder in the court, stand by and watch, not share the worries of the king and father, and not do things for the people of the world.

Even if the new policy fails at that time, His Majesty will throw him out to be a cunning rabbit and a dead dog to cook, and he will not regret it.

However, at this time, the closest ship to Zhu Youxiao's imperial boat was the ship where Yuan Chonghuan was.

He was dismissed from his post and was still wearing shackles. After several days of wind and rain, he was obviously getting haggard and aging, and his replenishment clothes that had not been replaced were covered with soil.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was like a piece of wood, looking at everything around him empty, and the scene of him entering Beijing to take the exam and passing through Qilu was unconsciously revealed in his mind that day.

How full of energy was at that time, and he looked like he was no less than me in the world, but now he ended up with a fate that was worse than a martial artist.

The Yuzhou put down the board and lies between the two ships. Yuan Chonghuan got on the Yuzhou under the escort of the Liangdong Factory.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was already sitting in the main hall, with a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains on his back. The ground was covered with Persian carpets, and enamel and newly made exquisite royal glass silver mirrors were placed on both sides.

At the same time, there were also Wang Chengen, the head of the Sili Supervisor, and Li Mingrui, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Wang Chengen and Li Mingrui were both ministers who were promoted later and had no intersection with Yuan Chonghuan. They were not very concerned about how His Majesty would deal with this disobedient chief official.

But he still has curiosity, because as close ministers of the emperor, they know the temperament of His Majesty the most. They never expected His Majesty to be so angry that this senior official named Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill a military officer.

Both Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen could feel that His Majesty might never have thought of respecting civil servants or favoring eunuchs only.

Although the emperor is young now, he is becoming more and more unpredictable.

This is not only the feelings of Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen, but also Yuan Chonghuan, who is now waiting for the appointment outside, also felt this way. Looking at the handsome young man sitting on the dragon throne in the main hall, Yuan Chonghuan felt fear for the first time.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan has been taken to the trap." Wu Jin, the big boss, walked in first.

Zhu Youxiao then raised his hand: "Let him come in, I have something to ask him."

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao didn't understand why these people were so afraid of him. Even Wu Jin, the big demon in Dongchang who could make people die in this moment, looked cautious in front of him.

However, Zhu Youxiao was used to the behavior of others in front of him, so he was too lazy to ask more questions, but looked directly at Yuan Chonghuan.

"Tell me, I will give you a chance to defend you. Why do you want to murder Mao Wenlong? Even though you know that countless people in the capital were tragic, Wu Xiang's troops of Guanning Army rebelled and instigated the Tartars to seize the Ming Dynasty, it was Fan Wencheng. Why do you still call him brothers?"

Zhu Youxiao asked and said nothing.

Yuan Chonghuan himself knelt down: "I am guilty, please punish your majesty!"

"Don't worry, I will punish you! But now you must answer my questions," Zhu Youxiao yelled.

Yuan Chonghuan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, why ask more? How could Confucianism choose a king to be a Chinese or a barbarian? Although Fan Wencheng was guilty of the Ming Dynasty, he made contributions to the Qing Dynasty. The criminal ministers were ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so he should naturally be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and be their masters, and."

"And what?" Zhu Youxiao could tell from Yuan Chonghuan's expression that this person seemed to have entered a state of madness from fear. His eyes when he looked at him were not only gone without fear, but were filled with hatred.

Yuan Chonghuan stood up by himself, pointed at Zhu Youxiao, and pulled the shackles on the shackles and made a loud voice: "And this world is not the world of your Zhu family, but the world of Confucianism. It's not the same for anyone who is a king, why just bet on you, the foolish monarch?"

"Pull it down and chop it!"

Zhu Youxiao was not angry, but just said this coldly.

But Li Mingrui couldn't help but tremble. Seeing that Wu Jin was indifferent, he hurried over and hit him with his arm a few times. Wu Jin quickly came to his senses, responded and immediately pulled Yuan Chonghuan to his feet.
