Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 0838 for today's plan, must change the emperor
Establishing three provinces in eastern Liaodong was a plan Zhang Haogu had made long ago.

The Northeast is vast, sparsely populated, fertile and rich in mineral deposits. Even though it is only the 1633th century and only [-], it can still satisfy tens of millions of families.

Therefore, in Zhang Haogu's Ping-Liao strategy at the beginning, he had to clean up the upper class and appease the lower class, mainly the people at the bottom of Manchuria and the people of the Han family, and gradually migrated the people from the inland to the Northeast to develop the Northeast.

Zhang Haogu wants to find the lost slave Gandusi after the Xuande Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty for the Han family.

"It's too aggressive, everyone, please come, let's have a simple meeting."

Soon, Cao Wenzhao, governor of Mongolia, Yuan Chonghuan, governor of southern Liaoning, and Cheng Wenyun, governor of western Liaoning, rushed to the Hall of Qinzheng.

Zhang Haogu looked around at the people present. Right now, the people here are the backbone of the New Party. Right now, the New Party is scattered all over the southwest, southeast, Gansu, Shanxi, and Central Plains. There are governors and generals of the New Party, so Zhang Haogu can summon these people nearby. People are already very nice.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Zhang Haogu cleared his throat: "I called everyone here today, because I am talking about something that has been in preparation for a long time. I plan to restore the original Nuer Gandu Division, and use the Nuer Gandu Division The territory is divided into three provinces, which are the three northeastern provinces of Ming Dynasty."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately began to discuss. After some low-pitched discussions, Yuan Chonghuan said: "Minggong, restoring the original territory of the Nuer Gandusi is definitely an exciting thing, but the current court situation can be passed. ?"

"After all, to set up three provinces in the area of ​​Nuer Gandusi, the officials, people, equipment and supplies needed are a huge expenditure. The imperial court may not agree."

Zhang Haogu said: "I expected all of this. We quickly pacified the Manchus, which already took over a lot of people, and all the gold and silver in the Manchus also came into our hands. These are enough for our initial use. "

"As for the future, I will let the imperial court tilt resources. The development of the Northeast is a major event that benefits the country and the people. It is a good thing for the imperial court's economy and industry and commerce."

"As for whether His Majesty agrees or not, I decide on this matter. If His Majesty does not agree, then don't agree."

When Zhang Haogu said this, everyone's hearts trembled. This meant that Zhang Haogu was about to use the power of prime minister to limit the imperial power.

With the current momentum of the new party, it is really not that difficult to restrict the imperial power. The difficulty lies in how to coordinate the new party.

Taking a sip of tea, Zhang Haogu said slowly: "Everyone is aware of the current situation in the imperial court. There are differences within ourselves, and His Majesty has begun to rely on those corrupt bureaucrats to contend with us. The two fists that were originally clenched We started to fight, we were not stable within ourselves, so we were not in a good position."

"The development of the Northeast is also to lay a solid foundation for everyone, so that everyone can have a stable rear to support their families and relatives, and avoid worries."

"There are a lot of colleagues who are being persecuted in the DPRK right now. Next, I will find a way to bring them all to the Northeast."

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Since Minggong has already decided, then there are candidates for the governors of the three northeastern provinces?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Well, I already have a candidate for the governor of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heihe provinces. You, Yuan Yuan, will be the governor of Liaoning. The governor of Jilin will let Wen Yun come, and the governor of Heihe will be handed over to Wen Zhao."

As he said that, Zhang Haogu said to Cao Wenzhao: "Originally, Wenzhao, you are the governor of Mongolia and are in charge of the Mongolian land. Now that Mongolia is stable, I plan to divide it into two provinces, Monan and Mobei, and let Chen Yawan and Zheng Hong Serve as governors respectively. The land of Heihe is vast, and there are many tribes and enemies prying from all directions, so I don’t feel at ease without an independent general in charge of such a place.”

"You still have to do it, Wen Zhao, as the governor."

Cao Wenzhao said with a smile: "The past few years in Mongolia are indeed a bit boring, as long as you can fight in Heihe."

Zhang Haogu said again: "I will settle this matter soon. Taichong wrote to Chen Yawan and Zheng Hong, asking them to come to Shenyang and ignore the news from the capital."

A few days later, the official letter from Liaodong arrived in the capital.

Looking at the official letter sent by Zhang Haogu, Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng also understood what Zhang Haogu meant.

Soon at the court meeting, someone put forward a proposal to restore the former Daming Nuer Gandusi. Although Zhu Youxiao blocked this proposal, the cabinet still passed the proposal.

Including the establishment of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heihe provinces in the original area of ​​Nuergandusi, Yuan Chonghuan, Cheng Wenyun, and Cao Wenzhao were the governors of the three provinces. He and Zheng Hong served as governors of Mongolia's two provinces.

After the official letter was issued by the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao realized that even if Zhang Haogu was in Liaodong, he could control the cabinet remotely. How could Zhu Youxiao be reconciled to this?

But at present, he can't even control how the territory of Ming Dynasty is divided, and who is the governor. Zhu Youxiao suddenly discovered that at some point, he thought he could take advantage of Zhang Haogu to clean up the court and control the situation, but it was all empty.

As long as Zhang Haogu is still alive, most people in the New Party will still support him.

Later, Zhang Haogu issued an official letter to the cabinet for approval in Liaodong, including a series of appointments of officials in the three northeastern provinces, population replenishment, etc., and the relocation of all the new party officials who were dismissed by Zhu Youxiao from the capital prison. In the Northeast, there are even transfers of many new army officers.

A series of orders were all issued by the cabinet, but Zhu Youxiao wanted to stop them, but it was useless.

After completing a series of appointments and transfers, Zhang Haogu wrote to Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Ruitu again, asking if they wanted to come to the Northeast.

After all, after Zhang Haogu's mobilization, many of the New Party's core members have moved their families to Liaodong. Now that the New Party's power in the court has begun to weaken, it may be dangerous if Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Ruitu continue to stay in the court.

Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Haogu's letter, and Zhang Ruitu asked, "Is Lu Xiang planning to go to the Northeast?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "If we all leave, only those old party bureaucrats will be left in the court, and the world of Ming Dynasty still doesn't know what it will be like by them and the emperor."

"Let's go, Zhang Xiang. Take those who are willing to go to Liaodong, and I will take those who don't want to go and continue to look for everyone in the court, not to mention that we can control the situation in the court."

Zhang Ruitu nodded: "In that case, the old man will leave."

"His Majesty has been angry a lot these days. I am getting older and have many family members. If I can't retreat, I really don't want to get to where I am now."

After speaking, Zhang Ruitu sighed: "Lu Xiang, if you don't leave, send your family to Liaodong."

Lu Xiangsheng did not refuse this, and asked Zhang Ruitu to help him send his family to Liaodong.

Soon, Zhang Ruitu set off for Liaodong with a group of new party members and many family members.Now the new party has only one cabinet scholar left in the court, one of the six ministers, and only three ministers of each department, and the original six cabinets occupy half, and the six departments occupy three departments: officials, rites, and households. Compared with the heyday of the new party, most of the ministers of various ministries were at the heyday of the new party. At this time, the power of the new party in the court has also weakened to its lowest point.

Zhu Youxiao also chose to explode during the constant forbearance and suppression during this period.

Zhang Haogu was in Liaodong, and Zhang Ruitu had also left. There were not many people in the New Party in the capital, and many officials and generals had left. Zhu Youxiao believed that he could completely control the situation at this time.

As for some people's opinion that Zhang Haogu's leading the army outside is a constraint, this does not exist in Zhu Youxiao's eyes.

Even if Zhang Haogu didn't lead the army outside, wouldn't it be a hindrance?
Now that Zhang Haogu is not in the capital, he can remotely control the cabinet to order. The cabinet's second assistant and a university scholar are combined, and even Sun Chengzong, the cabinet's first assistant, can hardly stop him.

After all, Qian Qianyi, Huang Liji, and Qiao Yunsheng are completely neutral. With such an impartial attitude, it is difficult for Zhu Youxiao to say anything. Therefore, Sun Chengzong, Zhang Ruitu, and Lu Xiangsheng are really in charge of the cabinet. Zhang Haogu.

In the case of three-on-one, Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, is equivalent to being emptied, not to mention whether it is to restore Nuer Gandusi or to develop Liaodong, it is also in line with Sun Chengzong's opinions. No one knows whether Sun Chengzong will follow the trend.

But now that Zhang Ruitu has also left, Zhu Youxiao quickly found a reason, and promoted Lu Xiang to prison above the court. Sent to prison.

A cabinet scholar and minister of the household department was imprisoned on unwarranted charges, which made the officials of the capital realize how serious the confrontation between Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu was.

And if it is aimed at Lu Xiangsheng, it is because Lu Xiangsheng is the so-called Zhang Party and an important member of the New Party, then Zhu Youxiao's next operation will make many people unable to understand.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao kept ordering Zhang Haogu’s class teacher to return to Beijing. At the same time, he issued orders to officials and generals in Mongolia and Liaodong to obey the imperial order, saying that he did not approve the plan to divide Mongolia into two and the northeast into three provinces. .

On the other hand, Zhu Youxiao sent an order to the governors of the provinces to let the governors and leading generals of the provinces come to Beijing to meet and report on their duties.

But what happened was that Lu Xiangsheng was imprisoned on trumped-up charges. If his family members hadn’t left early, they would have been implicated. Who would dare to enter Beijing so easily?

When Zhu Youxiao saw that the governors and generals of all places were afraid to enter Beijing, he even sent eunuchs and Jin Yiwei to arrest people everywhere.

Up to the governor of a town, the governor of a region, and the magistrate, down to the county magistrate, the school captain, the captain, and even the captain, are all within Zhu Youxiao's attack range.

All of a sudden, the entire Zhili area was in turmoil. The officials of the new party and the generals of the new army were all in danger. No one knew whether they would be the next one to be ransacked. horrible.

This world belongs to the emperor, and the emperor himself doesn't care about the world anymore, so he naturally came here as he wanted.

And Zhu Youxiao's wanton arrest of officials and generals not only made everyone in the new party dumbfounded, but even some old parties were dumbfounded, because no one knew what Zhu Youxiao would do next.

But everyone thinks that Zhu Youxiao is crazy to implicate officials and generals on such a large scale, but Zhu Youxiao thinks he is very sober, he must use thunderous means to clean up Zhili, and completely control Zhili Do it yourself, otherwise Zhu Youxiao won't feel safe!

Lu Xiangsheng has seen a lot of familiar faces in the sky prison these days. There is a leading general like the town general, the Yixie Xietong, local officials like the local governor and prefect, and more middle-level and low-level officials. He and the general were arrested by ransacking their homes.

Compared with the generals at the level of the Metropolitan Association and the governors and prefects who were detained, a large number of middle-level and low-level officials and generals were directly ordered to be executed after they were caught by Jin Yiwei and brought to the capital!

The Zhili foundation laid by Zhang Haogu and the members of the New Party, and the grassroots system built by Zhu Youxiao were uprooted and destroyed without any scruples. In just three days, the Caishikou in the capital was full of blood. Hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and Caishikou was directly stained blood red. Some people even claimed to have seen many ghosts at night. Even the people in the capital who were willing to come to Caishikou to watch the excitement at the beginning are now shunned by Caishikou like snakes and scorpions. The contamination is unknown.

After news of what happened in the capital spread to Shenyang, all members of the New Party fell silent. Many of them rejoiced that they escaped the catastrophe by running to Liaodong early, and lamented for those comrades who suffered for no reason.

These days, the New Party has suffered too much loss. How many talented and ambitious young people died in this sudden purge?
What will happen to the grass-roots control system and the new army system that the New Party worked so hard to build?
"Minggong." Huang Zongxi looked at Zhang Haogu.

Zhang Haogu sighed: "I know what you want to say, if you think I didn't persuade or stop you, then you are wrong."

"They are all comrades with the same ideals, how could I not think of a way to save them?"

"However, Qian Qianyi, Huang Liji, and Qiao Yunsheng are impartial, and we don't have many manpower left in the court. Even Lu Xiang being imprisoned can't stop him."

"Now, if you want to prevent His Majesty from continuing to implicate and purge like this, I have to go to Beijing."

Huang Zongxi said: "Duke Ming can't enter the capital now, the emperor is obviously crazy, how can you guarantee the safety of Duke Ming when he enters Beijing at this time?"

"But isn't Your Majesty just forcing me to go to Beijing now? Otherwise, my hard work for these years will be completely destroyed by Your Majesty. We can't just watch His Majesty squander our hard work like this. We must find a way to stop it." Zhang Hao Gu looked in the direction of Shuntian Mansion and sighed.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know the complex state of mind of Zhang Haogu and the members of the New Party, he only knew that he was finally in power during this period, and finally lived comfortably.

Now a large number of important positions in the court have been arranged by Zhu Youxiao as officials of the old party. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao parachuted a large number of honorable children into the Zhili new army to serve as officers, and the new party either left Beijing one after another or was imprisoned. Even those who are still in the capital are cautious, for fear that they will die in the hands of the emperor for no reason that day.

This is to control the court and control the new army, Zhu Youxiao feels unprecedentedly comfortable, the power is in his hands, life and death are in his hands, this is the real emperor, this is the supreme under heaven!
However, Zhu Youxiao has killed too many people during this period, not only the new party, but also the old party.

I don't know if Zhu Youxiao feels that he has the confidence to let himself go, or if he suppressed too much before. Recently, the blood of the Taizu has fallen into a period of rage. Zhu Youxiao, who has mastered the power, is moody. Court stick to serve.

The court sticks of the Tianqi Dynasty are not the false court sticks used by those scholars and scholars in the past to build their reputation, because the court sticks of the previous dynasty generally did not really beat officials to death, otherwise the crusade against Qingliu scholars and folk rumors would kill people.

But in the Tianqi Dynasty, it is true that you will die if you suffer from the imperial staff.

Zhu Youxiao has killed dozens of court ladies and eunuchs these days, let alone these foreign courtiers?
Suspected new party, fight!

Disrespectful words, hit!
Against yourself, hit!

It's not good to do things, hit!

Kill if you can't fight enough, Zhu Youxiao thinks what Emperor Taizu said is absolutely right, there is no shortage of scholars who want to be officials, with so many people in Ming Dynasty, how many officials are missing?

Since you can't do it, then kill and replace it!
Therefore, while Zhu Youxiao frequently attacked the new party, he also made an example of the old party. After all, Zhu Youxiao still recognized some new policies and laws in his heart. Although he had lost trust in the new party, he felt that the new policies and laws could indeed maintain the old. The Zhu family ruled a good thing. Although the new party has been expelled, some new policies and laws still need to be implemented. Since the old party cannot implement it well, kill it and replace it with another one.

But Zhu Youxiao never considered at all whether it is feasible to let the old party implement the new policies and new laws. These people who have changed the soup but not the medicine come up, what can be changed?
But Zhu Youxiao didn't care. He felt so happy after gaining real power recently that he forgot about moving the capital to Yingtianfu.

Finally, after Zhu Youxiao once again killed many officials in batches on this day, some people in the new party finally couldn't sit still!

It was night, many members of the new party and a group of members of the old party gathered together.

"The mad dogs of Jin Yiwei are biting people everywhere now, we took a big risk today."

"If you don't want to take this risk, why don't we just wait for death?"

"Okay, everyone must have seen the situation clearly now. We have worked so hard for the sake of the world and the people, but the emperor regards us as enemies! He doesn't even think about how this prosperous age came about, he will never let us go! "

"Yes, everyone of us is in danger now. Colleagues from all over the world are constantly sending secret letters asking for news from the capital, but Zhang Xiang can't stop the emperor from going crazy. What else can we do?"

"It's really not possible, change the emperor!"

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the people were shocked: Another emperor?Master Zhang didn't even have this idea, so you actually want to change the emperor? !
"Isn't it? If we don't change the emperor and let this stupid tyrant stay on top, who of us can escape that knife?"

After seeing some people hesitate, another person produced a piece of evidence: "Say it, you may not believe it, this news was sent to me by a young eunuch in the palace, and almost all his acquaintances in the palace were killed by the stick of the faint king." Yes, because they heard the conversation between Lord Hun and Concubine Xuanyi that day, do you know what Lord Hun said?"

"The Hunjun said that he wished to wash the Emperor Palace with blood and reshape the universe!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes widened: Bloodbath the Emperor's Palace!The emperor is really crazy!
"Now, do you think there is no need to change the emperor?"

Everyone was silent, and now it seems that they have to change the emperor.
