The Forbidden City, the south wing on the east side of the Ganqing Gate, and the upper study room.

Zhenwu was not in the capital, and the officials of the various departments and temples did not need to go to court early, so they naturally felt much easier. However, the ministers who went to the study room could not be lazy at all, but were even busier. They still had to select the important ones and write a brief introduction as usual. Some had to attach simple opinions and forward them to Zhenwu, who was thousands of miles away.

Regarding Zhenwu's decree on his tour and the memorials he forwarded and reviewed, they had to forward it to various departments or provinces, and urged to coordinate the implementation of the departments and courts. The emperor's power did not fall one day because of his tour. This is the rule, and this was the case with Kangxi's previous tours.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhenwu went on a tour, the study room was a little busier than usual. In addition, Ma Qi, Wang Yu, Fu Anning and the other three were taken away. The only ministers of the study room who stayed in the capital were Zhang Pengfeng, Xiao Yongzao and Song Zhu, so they were naturally even busier.

Regarding Zhenwu's trip to Shanxi, Zhang Peng and the other two were secretly complaining, and they were all light cars and fast horses all the way, which would affect the timely transmission of memorials. But every time they arrived in a province, they would make a huge noise. I really don't know what the master would do next.

The princes and nobles in the capital were restless about the reform of Xi'an flag affairs. The three of them in the study were not very concerned about the military power of the lower five flags. Now Zhenwu has confiscated all the military power of the lower five flags. There is no need to worry about how big the storm these empty knights can make. Besides, there is also the Thirteenth Master Yinxiang who holds heavy troops in Fengtai camp, so there is nothing to worry about.

Zhang Peng and the other two were worried about Shanxi's trial gentry and gentry paid food and served as a member of the worker, gentry supervised local officials and abolished new policies such as fire consumption. Now the news has not spread yet. Once the news spreads, it will inevitably trigger an earthquake. The government and the country, officials, gentry, and merchants will be in full swing. Jiangnan, which is promoting the spread of stakes, may respond the most. After all, Jiangnan has the most officials and gentry.

Because Zhang Pengheng is also supervising the Ministry of Revenue, he has more concerns. Xi'an expands 30,000 new imperial guards and spends the military pay. This is a expenditure of 20,000 million yuan per year. It is really not clear where this master got the confidence to support such rapid military expansion.

Furthermore, the creation of the Shanxi merchant’s “Jin Hesheng” pie number has a great impact on the “Four Great Hengs” and will inevitably affect the profits of the “Four Great Hengs”. It is still a trivial matter for the princes and nobles who hold “Four Great Hengs” shares to have opinions, and it will affect the welfare of the Eight Banners, which is worrying. I really don’t know how this master is thinking.

Just as Zhang Penghong was worried, a young eunuch bowed at the door and said, "Report to three lords, Prince Lian is here." As soon as he finished speaking, a crowd of greetings rang out of the door, "I wish Prince Lian a good wish."

Prince Lian Yinsi is now deeply trusted by Zhenwu. Not only is he in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Court, but he is also the prince appointed by Zhenwu when he left the capital. Zhang Pengsheng and the other two dare not neglect. They all put down their work, picked up the summer hat on the table and buckled it to the door to welcome him. Seeing Yinsi in, the three of them hurriedly slaughtered Qian'er to greet him: "Prince Lian is welcome to pay tribute to Prince Lian."

Yinsi stepped into the study room, but because the sunlight outside was too strong, he couldn't see the situation in the room clearly. He heard the request to rest and waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite." After getting used to it, he glanced at the three of them and smiled, "All of them are casual."

As he said that, he took off his hat and sat down right away while shaking the folding fan. He asked casually: "There is nothing important today, right?"

"Go back to the prince." After Zhang Pengcheng sat down, he bowed slightly and said, "Nian Gengyao has returned from Japan. He came ashore in Tianjin yesterday. The young minister of Japan, Shinmi Ai, said in the memorial that Japan has agreed to cede land."

"This is good news." Yinsi said as he picked up the tea served by the little eunuch. He blew it a little before putting it down. He pondered slightly, and then said: "The emperor is very concerned about the affairs of Japan. He should turn it over first, as a good news. If the specific matter is negotiated with Junmei Ai, he will report it in detail."

"Respect the Prince Jun Order." Zhang Penghong said slightly.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhang Penghong stopped talking, Yinsi knew that there was no more attention to it. He pondered for a moment before asking, "Where is the Emperor?"

After hearing this, Zhang Penghong couldn't help but glance at the two eunuchs standing at the door. The two eunuchs who were waiting bowed and retreated. Then he bowed and said, "Go back to the prince, from the memorials transferred yesterday, the emperor has arrived in Kaifeng."

Zhenwu arrived in Kaifeng, Henan? Yinsi was slightly stunned. Kaifeng was a transportation hub, with post roads connected all over the world, and it was very convenient to go north and south. Is Lao Si Si going back to the capital from Henan or to go south to Jiangnan? After pondering slightly, he said uncertainly: "Can the emperor have to go to Jiangnan?"

Zhang Pengheng glanced at him, but said nothing. Zhenwu's whereabouts were not something that the ministers could guess. Yinsi's question was quite extraordinary. Could it be that the princes and nobles in the capital had a very fierce reaction to the reform of Xi'an's flag affairs, or were there any signs of bad news?

Xiao Yongzao did not have so much scruples. After pondering, he said, "Prince, Jiangnan has always been a major tax quota in the court. Now he is vigorously promoting the tax quota and acres. However, Shanxi has tried new policies such as gentry and gentry as a whole at this time. For the officials and gentry in Jiangnan, it is like a wave of failure and a wave of resistance is likely to occur. The emperor may go to Jiangnan."

Yinsi nodded slightly. The world's wealth and wealth were half out of Jiangnan. If Jiangnan was in chaos, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zhenwu could not prevent this. Besides, he attached the most importance to Jiangnan, so he must have gone south to Jiangning and Hangzhou through Kaifeng.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache. If the Zhenwu went to Jiangnan just to stabilize the hearts of officials and gentry in Jiangnan, it would be fine. He was afraid that he would not be idle. He would rectify the flag affairs of Jiangnan, demolish the city in Xi'an, sell the city, and lift the constraints on the local Eight Banners soldiers and family members. This has caused great dissatisfaction among the princes and nobles. If he was to Jiangning, the Mancheng and the Banners in Hangzhou would be as if they were to be conspired, and they might cause chaos.

Furthermore, September is approaching, and the conquest of Africa is about to be put on the agenda. I don’t know how Zhenwu arranged it, and it is hard to ask about this matter. Although the old Shi Yinyi accompanied him, he was a master who did not want to do things and did not take care of things, so he was not reliable at all.

Seeing Yinsi pondering and silent, Xiao Yongzao said carefully: "Prince, Shanxi must take advantage of the opportunity of clearing down the shortcomings to try to implement the new policy. There are many merchants in Shanxi, and the news of the trial of the new policy cannot be concealed at all. It will spread soon. Will the Beijing News guide the new policy?"

Let the Beijing News guide the new policy? Yinsi couldn't help but look at Xiao Yongzao. This matter was risky. Zhenwu had neither spoken nor knew when the new policy in Shanxi would be implemented. It was quite inappropriate to publish the new policy in the Beijing News. Before he could speak, Zhang Penghong said in a deep voice: "This is inappropriate. Jiangning founded the 'Ningbao'. If the new policy is to be guided, Jiangnan Ning newspaper is more suitable. Even if the Beijing News wants to publish it, it can be published after the Ning newspaper."

Yinsi nodded and said, "The emperor has always been good at guiding public opinion. It is not advisable to cause trouble at this time. Besides, the Beijing News has a wide range of publications, so it is better to wait and see first."

Since he came out of the study room, Yinsi went to the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Courtyard for a walk. After doing routine, he turned back to his mansion and entered the gate. He heard that Prince Yu Baotai and Prince Shuncheng Mububa were marquising in the flower hall.

When Yinsi entered the door, he noticed that there was no big sedan chair at the door. He knew that the two of them came in casually, and they must have been for the reform of Xi'an's flag affairs. While walking, he ordered: "Please ask the two princes to go to the study to use tea, and I will go there immediately."

After washing up, Yinsi also changed into a regular dress and walked to the study without any haste. Seeing him in, Baotai and Mububa hurriedly got up to greet him. After a brief greeting, the three of them sat down with the guest of honor.

As soon as he sat down, Mububa said: "Uncle Eight, Xi'an has expanded 30,000 new guards, and faced all the bannermen in the surrounding provinces of Shaanxi. People recruited them, and once they were hired, they would be carried into the Han army flag. In addition, they would be promoted to a large number of Han people through the marriage between Manchu and Han. If this continues, how will our Eight Banners expand to the end?"

Seeing that he came, he pointed at Xi'an and talked about things. Yinsi couldn't help but smile and said, "The expansion of the Eight Banners is the beginning. Are you worried about more people now? Is the American banishment already overcrowded?"

"Uncle Eight." Mububa said dissatisfiedly: "What the American ban is to have outstanding children who are hiking and shooting to expand their territory. They are preparing to rely on overseas slaves when they are pursuing land and farming. The emperor said that a large number of slaves would be provided. There is no need for the Eight Banners to expand like this, which will infringe on the existing interests of our bannermen."

Prince Yu Baotai also continued: "The people of all banners and flags in the capital are now in panic. The flags and flags are limited, but the number of flags and flags is constantly expanding. How can they not worry? Judging from the emperor's actions in Xi'an, the flags and flags and flags will be gradually sold, which is the foundation of the survival of the flags and flags."

Yinsi glanced at the two of them and said, "It is too early to say whether the flags and lands will be sold gradually. As far as I know, the emperor is preparing to vigorously operate Xi'an, to operate Xi'an into a logistics base, and to establish a military workshop. In recent years, the emperor has been directly resentful of the northwest and reminded the hidden dangers of the northwest at all times. You also know it.

The situation in Xi'an is special and cannot be compared from one another. To generalize it, you should give more explanations and guidance to the people of the capital. How could the emperor ignore the livelihood of the bannermen? Has the livelihood of the bannermen greatly improved in recent years?"
