Chapter 254 Let Yan Yingyuan be the governor

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath. At this time, the Daming Daily's residence was no longer a scattered noise.

Even the bloody streets were cleaned by the Ministry of Works of Nanjing in advance with lime sprinkled on people. The wet bluestone slabs were filled with the unique charm of Jiangnan city and could not see any red left behind among the white lime powder stains.

It seems that the city has always been so quiet and gentle, and has never had inhumane massacre or genocide.

"Has everyone been caught almost?" Zhu Youxiao asked, then raised his foot and took a step forward. That day, he was hit by the brick that was thrown over.

Fortunately, the grenade was not the one thrown, so Zhu Youxiao secretly became grateful.

Wu Jin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you have already arrested them. There are a total of 135 gentry and students from all over the country, and another 172 children. None of the scholars who participated in the parade successfully escaped."

"In addition, 43 officials at all levels in Jiangnan were arrested and 104 officials at all levels were arrested. Like the above-mentioned scholars, they are now temporarily detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice of Nanjing. Now I'm waiting for His Majesty to make a decision!"

After hearing Wu Jin's words, Zhu Youxiao just nodded and asked Liu Kongzhao: "How is the security in Jinling City now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, after arresting more than 400 illegal people and shooting more than 300 people, the public security in Jinling City has basically been restored. Now shops at all levels have begun to reopen. Some people in the city have begun to go to the streets again, and farmers in the suburbs have also begun to go to the city to sell vegetables."

Liu Kongzhao's answer made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied, but Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but reminded: "You can't relax at all. Jinling is the first place in Jiangnan. If Jinling is unstable, Jiangnan will be unstable. Do you understand? In addition, you will be temporarily controlled by the public security of other prefectures in Jiangnan. If you dare to take the opportunity to cause trouble, you will be severely punished and not borrowed!"

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he suddenly remembered that after he issued a arrest warrant, he was afraid that the entire Jiangnan administrative system would be paralyzed, so he turned around and ordered Li Mingrui who was also here:

"The cabinet plans to conduct decrees, and you and Wang Chengen are responsible at the same time. Immediately, I will patiently persuade the people or officials who have good official reputations during the march, whether they are from Jinshi, Juren, or even promoted by officials, and promoted their official positions according to the situation, so that civil affairs cannot be paralyzed."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Li Mingrui had to follow the order, but he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the position of governor Yingtian is very important. Now that Wang Wenkui has been detained, this position cannot be left alone."

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a while. To be honest, it was indeed a bit embarrassing for him to appoint officials. There were too many officials in the Ming Dynasty, so he really couldn't think of who was suitable to be the governor of Yingtian.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look at Wei Zhongxian: "You have been in Jiangnan for so long, can you have the right candidate?"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty, the officials in Southern Zhili hated the empresses to the core, and the empresses had little contact with them. Apart from the few ministers and ministers on their heads, they were really not familiar with how could such capable ministers and officials be the governor of Yingtian."

"I have a choice," Zhu Youxiao also had a sudden inspiration, and immediately said it, and then asked Wu Jin: "How did you find the whereabouts of Yan Yingyuan?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this person is now in Jiaxing's household registration office and has arrived here according to Your Majesty's decree," Wu Jin replied.

Long before that, Zhu Youxiao asked the people of Dongchang to seek the world, looking for people named Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Jiao Lian, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong, Xia Wanchun and others, and even asked him to go to Lijiazhuang, Yulin, Shaanxi to bring all the boys from poor families about seven years old to Beijing for secret training.

This is the most peculiar task for the Dongchang, because according to Zhu Youxiao's intention, finding these people is not because they have committed unforgivable crimes to arrest them, but because they have to know their whereabouts and simply eliminate them at any time.

Wu Jin didn't know why His Majesty did this and why he valued these people who were still unknown for no reason, but the only thing he could do was to strictly implement His Majesty's will.

However, according to the investigation results of the Dongchang Factory, Wu Jinxin has almost all of these people with upright character and no pedantic talent.

"Let him be the governor of Yingtian. Jiangnan, which is very popular and powerful, can't find any useful officials." After Zhu Youxiao said this, Li Mingrui hurriedly questioned: "Your Majesty, if you let a clerk become a governor of a province, I am afraid that the scholars in the world will be unable to convince you!"

"Hmph, do I still have to look at their faces and eat now? At this time, I have decided and cannot discuss it anymore. Let Yan Yingyuan temporarily take over the position of governor Yingtian. Within three months, he will have some problems, and it will not be too late to dismiss him then!"

Now that Zhu Youxiao said this, Li Mingrui was not good at saying anything else, so he had to tactfully persuade the right governor to be temporarily appointed, and then transferred to Yan Yingyuan as the magistrate within ten days, then became the magistrate within half a month, promoted to the magistrate within one month, and then become the magistrate within two months.

Judging from the current situation, Zhu Youxiao will not leave Jinling City within three months. The civil affairs of Jinling City can also be temporarily Premier Li Mingrui.

Zhu Youxiao finally agreed with Li Mingrui's opinion. This is what Zhu Youxiao admires most. It can meet the unreasonable requirements of His Majesty today while following the selection system. This is the ability that a Cabinet Grand Secretary should have the most.

In order to crack down on these Jiangnan literati and clear the obstacles that hindered the state's capital's exhibition in Jiangnan, Zhu Youxiao cheated Li Mingrui and made him scolded by all the scholars and people in Jiangnan to become a treacherous minister.

Zhu Youxiao naturally wanted to repay his kindness and soon issued a central order to praise Li Mingrui for his efforts to do his best during this southern tour, fulfilling his loyalty to his duties, and was granted the title of Prince Grand Tutor and Young Tutor, and was given python garbage, and enjoyed one thousandth of the Royal Weaving Bureau. His position as a Grand Secretary was directly changed to the Grand Secretary of Zhongji Hall, and his actual position as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was also appointed as the Minister of Personnel.

In this way, Li Mingrui not only was dismissed from taking the blame for Zhu Youxiao, but instead became a civil servant who could compete with Qian Qianyi.

Once this news was released by Daming Daily, it immediately caused an uproar in public opinion. The scholars of Jiangnan scholars and officials with secret selfish concerns had to admit that they really lost.

Your Majesty will not lose a car just because you carry out a Dong Qichang. He will directly and blatantly protect the royalist party officials.

In addition to the fact that Li Ge Lao continued to be promoted because of the blame, and the nameless minor official Yan Yingyuan was arranged for the rocket-style ascent process for no reason, other officials were also promoted one after another.
