Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49

Today is a sunny day in the capital, but in the blink of an eye, it is shrouded by a cloud of dark clouds, which indicates that a thunderstorm will come at any time.

When Du Ming was released by Dongchang in the morning, they combined their judgments on His Majesty's temperament, and they all agreed that His Majesty had given in to them this time.

It's just that he never expected that the truth of the matter was that Du Ming couldn't stand Dongchang's torture and his greed for power, so he finally compromised with His Majesty.

From victory to complete defeat, this is a huge psychological gap.

From the Liukelang to the Sixth Department to the various yamen in the capital, many officials are unwilling to accept this cruel fact, and they all think that someone is spreading rumors.

When there were more and more sources of information, especially one confirmed by Cheng Zong, the left servant of the Ministry of Justice, everyone's last bit of illusion was disillusioned.

"It is a shame for us scholars to be so greedy for power!"

"To be an official in the same dynasty as Du Ming is really a stain on my life!"

"How can a man bow his head for a high position, Du Ming should be impeached and punished!"

……

Many officials became angry with embarrassment. The voices that had applauded Du Ming earlier disappeared without a trace, and turned to point the finger at Du Ming, the "traitor".

If Du Ming was a warrior who dared to fight against the imperial power, then they would not mind licking each other's toes, and would even leave their names in history.But in the face of this kind of "traitor" who succumbed to the imperial power, they naturally want the other party to go to hell.

Just like this, a spectacle appeared in the Ming court: the officials who were still praising Du Ming yesterday had impeached Du Ming today.

"Damn it!"

Xu Pu, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the Imperial Academy, also gritted his teeth in anger after hearing the news, but he knew that the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment had failed to prevent Wang Yue from recovering.

Once Wang Yue, the murderous demon king, really went to Yangzhou to investigate the collusion between the government, officials and businessmen in Yangzhou, and that person must have had a long-standing grievance, he would really be killed.

As night fell, a cold autumn rain arrived as expected.

The East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, and the rain outside was like a symphony, which did not affect the people here at all.

Zhu Youtang specially added a dress, but when he saw the playbook about the impeachment of Du Ming, the corner of his mouth could not help but sneer.

An official who dares to love can only be regarded as a good official if he sings against the emperor himself, and an official who agrees with him is all treacherous, and he really does not treat the emperor as a master.

It's just that this is Daming's officialdom. They are obviously a group of people who work for their own family, but they want to turn against customers and want to tie themselves up.

Erya, dressed in a blue dress, walked gracefully. Even in the Forbidden City, where there are so many beauties, this face alone is already the best in the harem, not to mention having a proud figure and aloof aura.

Since she has now become the maid in charge of the Qianqing Palace, responsible for taking care of Zhu Youtang's daily life, she has a stronger aura of a strong woman in her gestures.

Erya cherishes the hard-won good days now, a pair of slender hands took out the chicken soup from the food box, her eyes flashed with tenderness and admiration.

Under the lights, women are charming and men are handsome.

Although Zhu Youtang is only 17 years old, he acts more and more steadily, his eyes are deep and firm, resolutely like a mature and stable emperor.

Combining the rules of dealing with memorials learned earlier when he was a prince, and the knowledge reserve he brought from his previous life, he has now handled the affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces with ease.

The memorabilia of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces are both real and practical. The real ones are like today’s imperial censor’s impeachment of the magistrate of Shexian County, who forced the rich people to spend money to eliminate disasters by finding someone to falsely accuse them. The false ones are some sacrificial activities and so-called auspicious omens. .

Zhu Youtang was about to flip through the next notebook when there was an extra spoon in front of him, and Erya said affectionately: "Master, the soup tends to get cold, let me feed you!"

Looking at the delicious chicken soup in front of him, Zhu Youtang opened his mouth slightly, and the soup in the spoon was brought over, with a woman's body fragrance like orchid and musk.

The evil feudal society, after all, still makes people fall into it.

Zhu Youtang enjoyed these days when he stretched out his hands for clothes and opened his mouth for food, but he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Tonight's chicken soup tastes good. Next time, put a little less pepper, and the taste will be even better!"

"Master, the servant will greet the imperial chef!" Erya knelt on the low stool, and continued to bring spoons in a gentle and pleasant manner.

Zhu Youtang opened his mouth and took another sip, then asked with concern, "Is Niu Mengmeng's mouth healed? Can you eat normally now?"

"In fact, she just stopped for a day. She didn't treat herself as a wounded person these days. It looks like she's all right now! Just now I heard that a mouse appeared in the West Nuan Pavilion. She hugged her little flower and said that she was going to catch the mouse! Thinking of Niu Mengmeng's lively temperament, Erya smiled helplessly.

Zhu Youtang knew that Niu Mengmeng was not a typical person liked by the public, but when he thought of standing up for himself that day, he took extra care and said: "In the future, as long as it is not a matter of principle, you can let her temper, you don't have to make a decision for her. Rules and regulations!"

"Your maidservant made a note! There were so many people present that day, and she was the only one who knew how to protect the master loyally. This servant girl will definitely not let this happen again, and she will definitely train the eunuchs and maids of the Qianqing Palace for the master!" Er Ya lightly Nodding lightly, then seriously promised.

Zhu Youtang had already seen Erya's side as a strong woman, so he rewarded her: "I rode a horse in Xiyuan today, and the scenery is pretty good. Next time, let's go there with me for a walk!"

"Slaves don't know how to ride horses!" Erya shook her head slightly after her heart moved slightly.

Zhu Youtang looked at the woman kneeling in front of him like a horse, but he said considerately: "You don't have to ride a horse, as the lake is so big, there must be a lot of fish in it, and you can fish there too. In fact, I really like fishing, if it is not cold now, the fish in the lake would be hard to open, I would like to try it today!"

"If the master doesn't give up, the servant is willing to accompany you there and hang worms for you!" Er Ya saw that Zhu Youtang was very interested, and expressed her attitude seriously.

Zhu Youtang found that Erya looked extraordinarily charming under the candlelight, and unconsciously swallowed the soup in his mouth, but the soup still didn't seem to quench his thirst.

Erya saw that the spoon in her hand was blocked, facing this pair of fiery gazes, she didn't know what the man in front of her was thinking, so she shyly put the rest of the soup into her mouth.

But at this time, Guo Yong came in from the outside to report: "Long Live Lord, a piece of information has just been sent from outside the palace. Xu Pu paid a visit to Elder Wange and Elder Liu Ge!"

"In this way, it will not be smooth for the court to push the Zuo Deputy Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow!" Zhu Youtang couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help but bitterly said.

In fact, it is very easy to solve the affairs of the capital. After all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he can directly take down Wan'an, Liu Ji and Xu Pu at any time.

Even if the trouble really got to the point where it couldn't be dealt with in the end, he could directly use Jin Yiwei to set off the Zuo Shunmen bloody case like Jiajing did, and the officials below would become honest, and even become his own echoers.

But then what?
There were more than 1100 counties in the Ming Dynasty. People like Xu Pu, Wan An, and Liu Ji were just leaders elected by the civil official group. It is easy to beat up these leaders, but will all the local officials below be cleaned up?

After all, Zhu Youtang is not just the master of Beijing, but the real emperor of the entire Ming Dynasty, so as to achieve the goal of strengthening the country and making the people rich.

To really control this dynasty, it is not enough to be controlled by eunuchs alone. In fact, it still needs this huge civil servant group to drive itself.

Thanks to the media such as online novels and TV dramas that later generations have come into contact with, and the fact that I am calm enough to handle things, I decided to embark on a different road of imperial governance.

"Long Live Lord, how should we deal with it now?" Guo Yong was well aware of the great resistance caused by the cooperation of the three, so he immediately asked seriously.

Zhu Youtang is naturally aware of this, but he doesn't want to talk about these things now: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, go down!"

Goo!
Erya finally couldn't help stretching out her hand to cover her mouth, and swallowed the soup that had been in her mouth for a long time.

"Obey!" Guo Yong found out that the maid in charge had secretly drank the soup while he was talking with Lord Long Live, she glanced over there dissatisfied, and then cupped her hands respectfully.

Erya seemed to have done something wrong, and fled in a hurry with an empty soup bowl.

Zhu Youtang looked at this somewhat embarrassed figure, and licked his lower lip obscenely.

Whether it is to break the original historical track or to avoid the extinction of his own lineage, it is absolutely impossible for him to give up the entire forest for a single flower to make Liugong Fendai more beautiful.

As the night deepened, the beauty had undressed and crawled into the quilt of the dragon couch, causing the quilt to be filled with a faint body fragrance, and the sound of footsteps could be heard outside.
