Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 820 Let blood wash the southeast! !
August came silently, and the capital city was getting hotter and hotter.

The sun is high in the sky.

The wind that blows is warm.

The West Garden was no longer as quiet as before. The sounds of birds singing and cicadas chirping could be heard one after another. For people with restless minds, this was simply unbearable.

Qian Qianyi was getting irritated by the sun, his crimson official robe was already soaked with sweat, and the black gauze hat, under the direct sunlight, became particularly heat-absorbing.

So many things have happened in Beijing recently that people in the government and the country are in a panic.

The Zhejiang Party was overthrown.

Beijing camp was mobilized.

Zong Jun left Beijing.

The Western Factory came out together.

……

If any of these things were picked out under normal circumstances, they would cause heated discussion and spread, but now, people don’t know what to discuss.

The situation changes too quickly and the emperor has too many decisions to make.

For the officials in the outer court, many of them had not even found out what was going on before targeted measures were taken.

Isn't this optional?

"Eunuch, could you please report to His Majesty again that the cabinet has an urgent matter to report." Qian Qianyi, who had been waiting for nearly an hour, looked up at the bright sun. He could hardly hold on any longer, so he forced a smile to the strange eunuch in front of him.

"Mr. Qian, please wait a little longer."

After hearing this, the eunuch said to Qian Qianyi, "I have already submitted your report to the emperor long ago. If the emperor does not summon you, it must be because he has some important military affairs to deal with. After that, the emperor will send someone to summon you. Lord Qian, how about I bring you another cup of cold tea?"

Qian Qianyi: “…”

What Qian Qianyi couldn't stand was the eunuchs serving in the imperial court, especially those on the periphery. Every once in a while, a group of new faces would appear.

As for those who often accompany the emperor, each of them is smarter than a monkey. They will simply ignore private attempts to show goodwill, and even if you try to give them money, you won't find an opportunity to do so.

It is precisely because of this situation that they cannot obtain any information about what happened in front of the emperor or any news about it, let alone the Royal Guard Commandery.

The inner court of the Tianqi Dynasty was different from the inner courts of the previous Ming Dynasty. It was extremely difficult to get any information from the inner court and find out what the emperor did and liked! !

Imperial power must remain mysterious.

With a sense of mystery, people will think too much, and once they think too much, they will inevitably feel fear in their hearts. With fear, they cannot figure out what the emperor is thinking, and then they will become afraid! !

This is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wanted.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to make sure that no one in the court, including the civil and military officials and everyone in the world, could guess his thoughts, what he was doing, and what he was thinking. As long as he could maintain this mystery and always be one step ahead of others, he would be able to maintain the advantage at all times. Otherwise, he would fall into internal friction and calculations.

"How long has Qian Qianyi been waiting?"

After a short rest, Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup at hand, looked at Liu Ruoyu who was serving in front of the emperor, and after taking a sip of tea, he asked.

"Your Majesty, it's almost an hour."

Liu Ruoyu bowed his head and said.

"Call him over."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and walked towards the side hall.

"Yes!" Liu Ruoyu responded, then signaled someone with his eyes. The person understood, silently left the hall, and slowly walked towards where Qian Qianyi was.

Zhu Youxiao knew very well about Qian Qianyi's request for an audience. He just wanted to find out some information so that the people around him would feel at ease.

After all, so many things have happened in the past period of time, and many decisions have not been clearly stated by the cabinet before they began to operate in an orderly manner. This inevitably makes people think too much.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner right now, and Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of any further disturbances that may affect the decisions he makes.

"Your Majesty...Qian Qianyi, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

As a voice sounded, the tranquility of Yuxi Palace was broken. Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map in front of him. It was almost a cup of tea.

The small flags of various colors represent the progress of various places. Zhu Youxiao wondered when the various troops he sent out would be able to gather in the southeast and play a role!

It's still too slow.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about Qian Qianyi's arrival at all. At this moment, he was thinking about how to further improve the central government's control over the local areas! !

To achieve this, political reforms alone are far from enough. The improvement and operation of the transportation system is also an indispensable and important component!

The improvement and expansion of land, air and sea transport must cover the northern provinces as soon as possible! !

This was the conclusion Zhu Youxiao came to after planning for Zhejiang, Guizhou, Fujian and other places and moving forward step by step. The control of the southeast had been reduced by the central government of the Ming Dynasty over the years, and now he wanted to gradually take it back. In this process, he must ensure the central government's control over the northern provinces, otherwise he would be in trouble.

This is not what Zhu Youxiao wanted.

"My dear, why are you so anxious to come to see me?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Qian Qianyi, smiled faintly and said, "But recently I have been staying in the West Garden and not attending court to govern. What did someone in the court say?"

"No...no."

Qian Qianyi smiled.

Who dares to say this now? The current emperor is just like Emperor Sejong Suk and Emperor Shenzong Xian. He stays in the deep palace when he has nothing to do. He will summon all the ministers when he remembers to attend court, and summon the court for a meeting when he doesn't remember. Because of this situation, many people said so in the first two years.

But now no one dares to say it.

no way.

The emperor today is really too troublesome. Before people have even adapted to the impact and turmoil caused by previous troubles, new ones will appear.

Anyone who was unable to adapt to this state of affairs in the central government during the Tianqi Dynasty was either dismissed or arrested...

"It's fine if you don't."

Zhu Youxiao stopped smiling and looked at Qian Qianyi, saying, "There is Japanese rioting in Zhejiang, civil unrest in Jiangxi and Fujian, and even riots in the South Grand Canal. Humph! What did I do that angered heaven and people that caused half of the Ming Dynasty to be in chaos?"

"I'm afraid that in the southeast, many people will call me a tyrant and a tyrant. Well, if that's the case, I will send my elite troops to the southeast to give it a bloodbath!!"

"!!!"

Qian Qianyi was shocked when he heard this. He came to the emperor this time to find out some information and see what decision the emperor had made on recent events.

Yes.

Many people left the capital in compliance with the imperial order, even some elite troops from the Beijing garrison. However, the problem was that these people were too tight-lipped and acted too quickly, and many of them disappeared as soon as they had the thought of exerting their strength.

No one has yet found out what responsibilities these groups who left Beijing have and what they are supposed to do.

But now hearing that the emperor was going to massacre the southeast, how could Qian Qianyi not be shocked? Especially when he saw the map in front of him, Qian Qianyi knew that this was a serious matter.
