After Zhu Youxiao returned to the capital, it was already a time of heavy snow. The whole capital was covered in white, solemn but a hint of vitality lurked.

But for the literati and officials who hate imperial power politics and yearn for freedom, they did not feel any vitality. The series of actions by Emperor Zhu Youxiao since leaving the capital made their mood fall to a freezing point, and they only felt the cold and could not feel the gratitude at all.

The fall of the Northern Sect Confucius Sect was replaced by the Southern Sect Confucius Sect, but the titles inherited by the Southern Sect Confucius Sect have been greatly reduced. This shows that Your Majesty is now intentionally trying to reduce the role of Confucianism.

When he went to Jiangnan to exile thousands of literati and scholars in a bitter and cold place, he said that he wanted to temper his muscles and bones and temper his will in order to make great use of the court in the future. In fact, it was just to suppress the rights and interests of the literati and then control the finances of the entire Jiangnan, and to make a test for the subsequent big-scale reforms.

The reforms of the Fengyang Left-behind Office of Zhongdu and Shandong, Shaanxi two executives announced the reforms of the Political Envoy Department directly and specifically showed them what His Majesty the Emperor was going to do.

But they can only stop now. The Dongjishi Factory, which is located all over the country, and the various imperial guards stationed in various places, are staring at their every move as if they are the eyes of His Majesty. The imperial guards were killed when they say they are killed. The vassal king wanted to rebel, but within one night they were suddenly captured by the imperial guards. On the second day, they ended up in a bleak end, and even other imperial guards were implicated. However, looking at the world, there was no force that could stop His Majesty.

However, His Majesty's prestige among the people is getting higher and higher. They did not expect that in the beginning, they were just serializing chapters and legendary stories and Daming Daily, which were used for complaints by literati and poets, would in a blink of an eye take away the public opinion orientation advantage of their civil servant group, and even take away part of their administrative interpretation power.

Now, officials have almost become tools for His Majesty. They are even just people who work for His Majesty today, just like other craftsmen. They have different divisions of labor, and some craftsmen have already begun to pass by them.

For some stubborn and unwilling to give up privileges, this is a change that cannot be accepted but has to be accepted.

However, even so, they were still full of expectations for the soon-to-be-cress of a prince or princess in the palace.

When the king's power is extremely powerful and unshakable, they can only rely on the crown prince.

For the royalist party, this is even more worthy of anticipation. Many ministers have expressed their serious concern through various channels. Some have directly submitted memorials to ask for advice, and some have secretly asked the eunuchs in the palace for information.

Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in Nanjing who had already started fasting, had moved into Guanyin Temple in Donglushan, Nanjing. He decided to practice more rigorously in the rest of his life, and pray for blessings in front of Guanyin three times a day, and also spend all his 300,000 silver dollars in the family fortune.

The helm of the Royal Industrial Company, the son-in-law Gong Yonggu, directly established the Ming Dynasty Charity Federation, and gave out one million silver dollars to donate money to the Yangjianyuan in all prefectures, prefectures, counties and government offices in the world.

Sun Chengzong, who was far away in Shaanxi, was a steady person who never asked about royal private affairs, but he also submitted a memorial to ask about the royal Si Ke'an at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month this year, and directly advised His Majesty to start the new talent show and recruit good women from the people to enrich the harem.

Not only Sun Chengzong, but a large number of ministers began to submit memorials and advice Zhu Youxiao Guang to accept concubines, and even some famous Neo-Confucian officials such as Liu Zongzhou, Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Keli. In their opinion, since Xu Fo, who has been named Huipin, was able to get pregnant, it means that His Majesty has no problems with reproduction today.

Since there is no problem, as the emperor, there is no need to bet on one or two women, because no one is sure whether the prince will die in the future. Therefore, the more concerned about the government, the stronger the ministers demand that His Majesty now take concubines. Li Mingrui, a core member of the royalist party, directly advised His Majesty now to enrich the seventy-two concubines in the harem.

Qian Qianyi was unwilling to let it go, so he turned the number into one hundred horses in his memorial. When Zhu Youxiao found out, he was furious and scolded the ministers for treating him as a stallion. Even his body was so strong that he could not withstand so many women, let alone he didn't have the energy.

But there are people who have the world. There is a whole Ming Dynasty court. Not all officials have no selfish intentions and do not think about themselves. Or, it can be said that in fact, everyone is thinking about themselves, but the royalist party's interests for themselves are consistent with His Majesty the Emperor.

When his Majesty met a Wei woman on the banks of the Qinhuai River, he was still indifferent to her for several months, so he delayed three months before returning to the capital. When he thought about the fact that the man who was pregnant with Long Zi was also from a place of love, he was unwilling to affirm that the opponents of the Iron Blood King began to equate Zhu Youxiao with the king who was greedy for beauty.

Therefore, in order to invite fame or to see the obscurity, some people submit memorials to advise His Majesty to keep themselves clean, to abolish palace maids, to avoid being in love with beauty, to deal with ministers who flatter or favor by offering beauty, to accept loyalty and good deeds to correct the court.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty always had such an oppositional contradiction. On the one hand, some ministers advised Your Majesty to accept concubines to serve as the harem and protect the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years; on the other hand, the ministers advised Your Majesty to be rude and greedy, and to be an example for the king; but from the surface, it seemed that the former was a treacherous minister who ignored the interests of the country, while the latter was a loyal and honest minister who dared to disobey the king.

Those who look at history in later generations can draw such conclusions if they do not speculate and infer based on the background of the time.

Not only in the future, even now, if these memorials were passed on, the scholars and people in the world would probably simply think that Your Majesty is indeed a lustful king, so Zhu Youxiao was extremely angry when he heard this. Since the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he has only come into contact with five women, and only one person has been included in the harem. But when has he become a tyrant king who forced the people to rob their daughters and caused the people to separate their wives and children.

This was written in detail in the memorial of a censor named Du Yihong. There were a thousand words, but there was no saying that Zhu Youxiao was good, but he wrote all his imagination and the rumors out of thin air.

"Do you know his detailed information? Whose student is?" After getting this memorial from Wang Chengen, Zhu Youxiao did not throw things now. Instead, he asked with a sneer, and put a bunch of memorials in front of him to take concubines and a bunch of memorials that he would be clean and clean.
