Domineering Daming

They were afraid, every word of the emperor's words pierced their souls, making them powerless to refute.

Everything is fake, they are just selfish villains, they are full of benevolence and righteousness, but they are really shameless!

If these words are spread, what face do they have to face others?It would be better to just die here!

Li Banghua was already 60 years old. At this time, his face turned green and pale, his lips moved, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhu Xu didn't let them go like that, raised his eyelids, and said indifferently: "I can guess what you are thinking now? If you know how to be ashamed, you will hang yourself when you go back. You will leave the stigma to your family and die by yourself." It’s clean. It’s done once and for all. Those who still have the heart to hide, find a place to hide, and don’t see anyone for ten or twenty years. Shameless and shameless, they smashed the cans, turned into shameless villains, and tore the painted skin. You all talk about it, Which path do you all choose now?"

The hearts of Li Banghua and others were so cold that they couldn't speak.

The emperor's words pointed directly at people's hearts, revealing their most unbearable side, how to refute?Where is the face to argue?

Those who did not stand up and resigned quietly wiped their cold sweat one after another. Fortunately, they did not follow out, otherwise they would have to find a hole in the ground at this moment!

Cao Huachun was quite relieved, if the emperor got angry and killed Li Banghua and others here, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause.

Zhu Xu looked calm, picked up the cold tea beside him, looked at Li Banghua, and said: "At this time, there is nothing to say, Li Banghua, tell me what you think, you have to choose to die, I have no posthumous title." Here you go, I will buy you a good coffin, choose a good place, and let future generations pay their respects..."

Li Banghua looked up at Zhu Xu, his heart was hollow, but it seemed that something was pressing down on him, like a lump in his throat. After a long while, the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "Your Majesty, why do you need to be like this..."

"vicious?"

Zhu Xu took his words and said, "Why, you can't bear it if I tell the truth? Then do you know how much impact your resignation will have? How many people in Shaanxi will be killed by you? You After reading the books of sages and sages for decades, didn’t the sages tell you what is “responsibility” in the books? Confucius said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, which one do you take? Stubborn, stubborn, with eyes higher than Ding, full of words for the country and the people, cherish feathers when things happen, be wise and protect yourself, and die at every turn, all about reputation? Did the sage tell you, which is more important, the country or your life? The life and death of the people are not as important as yours Do you have ambitions in your heart? What is benevolence and what is righteousness? Is this benevolence and righteousness only in you? It has nothing to do with the common people in the world?"

Li Banghua's whole body was icy cold, his eyes were darkened, and his figure was staggering, as if he was about to fall down.

Zhu Xu's words pierced through many things, piercing Li Banghua's heart so thoroughly that it was dripping with blood.

The people behind him were still young and could be saved, but their faces were pale, dripping with cold sweat, their breath was short of breath, and their eyes flickered non-stop.

Looking at the expressions of the group of people, Zhu Xu guessed that it was almost the same. If there were any more, someone would have died on the spot. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice: "After you go back, think carefully about what I said, Before I leave, if there are still people who want to resign, I will personally send you back to your hometown, so that you can all return to your hometown, honoring your hometown, and leaving your name in history!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Before Zhu Xu could take a few steps, there was an exclamation.

"Master Li, Master Li..."

Chapter 790

Zhu Xu ignored Li Banghua and the others, and walked quickly to the backyard.

Forget about the matter here, he said as he walked: "Cao Huachun, you can go, don't delay, don't forget my words when you arrive in Sichuan."

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu, and said: "Yes, other things have been arranged by the servants, and they are all placed in the study. If you have anything, you can ask Xiao An."

Xiao An is the eunuch who has been following Cao Huachun, recording Zhu Xu's words and deeds, and is Cao Huachun's apprentice.

Zhu Xu nodded, turned to Wang Yizhou and said, "Keep an eye on Li Banghua and his gang, don't let anything happen to them." These people are all officials in Shaanxi, and it would be a loss to lose one of them.

Wang Yizhou didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, so he quickly responded: "Yes, the last general will go here."

Zhu Xu returned to his room, and said directly: "I will transfer all the recent important playbooks to me. Also, let me know and get ready. I will leave tonight and go to Taiyuan."

Xiao An is a young man in his 27s, who has been unknown all the time. Hearing Zhu Xu's words, he said in a light voice, "Yes."

Zhu Xu sat at the table, got himself a cup of tea, took a sip, looked out the window, and thought.

The matter in Shaanxi is considered complete, and next, he will return to Beijing.

The capital city is now becoming more and more agitated because of the "replenishment of cabinet ministers", and some suppressed and hidden contradictions are about to burst out.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest playbook." Xiao An held a plate and handed it to Zhu Xu's desk.

Zhu Xu glanced at him, put down his teacup, and said, "Well, by the way, give me what you recorded along the way."

"Yes." Xiao An said, turned and left the room.

Zhu Xu sat down and picked up the playbook.

The first is the memorials sent by the cabinet about supplementing the cabinet.

Zhu Xu looked slowly, and there were more than a dozen names listed in it, including Li Sicheng, Liang Tingdong, Hu Yingtai, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, Shen Yongmao and others, especially Wang Ji!

Wang Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment during Tianqi's reign, Zhao Nanxing's right-hand man.

Zhu Xu held up the teacup in his left hand, looked at the playbook, stared at each name, and slowly deliberated in his heart.

The structure of the cabinet, auxiliary ministers, powers of the six ministries, and ministers are all closely related to the next "political reform". Zhu Xu needs a strong, stable, and enterprising cabinet and six ministries, and no one will be allowed to mix sand!

In the memorial book, the information and qualifications of these people are also included. Zhu Xu went through it, but in Wang Ji's information, he found something very interesting.

Wang Ji impeached Ye Xianggao, Han Huang and other Donglin party members in the third year of Tianqi, which became a major "merit" of his revival!

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled up, and he laughed, feeling quite emotional, and put it aside, saying: "Stay in the middle and not send."

"Yes." Xiao An was not far away, sorting out Zhu Xu's speech records, and said hastily upon hearing this.

Zhu Xu picked up other memorials, most of which came from the cabinet, and there were six volumes, and there were relatively few local ones, all of which were filtered by the cabinet.

Not long after, Zhu Xu saw two more interesting memorabilia. These were the three people selected by the cabinet to inspect the censors in various places. Two of them directly impeached Zhou Yingqiu, attacking him for "creating cronyism, cultivating private individuals, and fighting differences with the same party. Disaster on the Lord."

These two memorials were not transferred by the cabinet, but by the Minister of General Affairs.

Zhu Xu found this matter more and more interesting. The General Secretary was sent by the superior, and he belonged to a yamen in the middle. He usually didn't pay much attention to it, but now he found that this position is still very important and very useful.

"It's going to be fun..."

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and laughed out loud. The "New Deal" really annoyed a lot of people, but more people saw that the current situation is rolling like a torrent, unstoppable. Since they can't stop it, they can only squeeze in and share a piece. cake!

There are economic, political, and reputation reasons, and there are various reasons, such as being ordinary in Donglin, mutual protection of people with interests, and so on.

Some ghosts and ghosts jumped out one after another when the "New Deal" was gradually stabilizing.

"Your Majesty, it's done." Xiaoan handed the eight scripts to Zhu Xu. These are the manuscripts of the emperor's public speeches recorded along the way. Of course, they have been modified and polished by him.

Zhu Xu took it over and said, "Well, it's all right, you can go and rest."

"Yes." Xiao An said.He is a very quiet person, and he backed out when he heard the words.

Zhu Xu took these documents, flipped through them slowly, and picked up a pen at the same time.

These speeches of his involve the "New Deal", official administration, military, education, commerce, maritime trade, ideology, etc., but because of the scene, his speeches are not comprehensive enough and need to be supplemented and modified.

Zhu Xu watched, revising and supplementing from time to time.

When Zhu Xu was busy, Li Banghua and a group of people gathered in a wing room, exuding oppression, unbearable entanglement, and pain.
