Wenyuan Pavilion in the eastern part of the Forbidden City is the place that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty yearn for the most. However, at this time, there were only a few people working here. The whole country's government affairs were concentrated here, and it was obvious that they were busy. But at this time, the few people here did not handle government affairs much.

The assistant ministers Zhang Zhifa and Xue Guoguan stood in front of the chief minister of the cabinet. Zhang Zhifa put a memorial on the table and said a little hesitantly: "The content here is based on the regulations of the ancestor system and according to the intention of the chief minister."

Wen Tiren listened and took the memorial to watch. Needless to say, he transferred the decree of Emperor Chongzhen to two auxiliary ministers and asked them to draft the memorial.

Seeing the prime minister watching, Zhang Zhifa continued: "Although they are all based on the ancestral system, they have a good effect of curbing the luxury atmosphere in Jiangnan. But...the luxury atmosphere has become a serious problem at this time, just like a person's disease. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to use this powerful medicine, right?"

Most of the rich people in Jiangnan are powerful people, or there are people behind them. If the contents of this memorial are implemented at once, they will be implemented across the country, which will have a great impact. Zhang Zhifa was very worried, and he might cause trouble.

"What's wrong?" Xue Guoguan's opinion was different, and he immediately retorted: "This is the ancestral system, and he can still allow them to cause trouble? Is it really a decoration for the court?"

Speaking of this, seeing Zhang Zhifa seemed to want to refute, Xue Guoguan didn't give him a chance, and immediately added: "Last year, my Ming Dynasty conquered North Korea, Liaodong and the grasslands. That was not a great victory! If anyone dares to make trouble, come and try it!"

When they were talking, Wen Tiren had already read the memorial. He slowly closed the memorial, as if he had thought about it for a while before saying: "If the content of this memorial was at the beginning of the founding of the country, there would naturally be no problem. Now, as the Shenghu said, the luxury of Jiangnan has been established."

Speaking of this, he paused and sighed: "You are not from the southerners, and you may not have experienced it. I am from the southerners, and I am deeply moved by this. I deeply agree with the matter that the emperor asked. However, I think it is better to be cautious in this matter."

Wen Tiren said, looking up at Xue Guoguan and said, "To put it bluntly, there are probably not many people in the south. If you want to use this kind of pressure, it is probably not very useful."

The implication is that the prestige of the court is no longer as good as the founding of the country. The southerners are not concerned about the north. What if they defeat it, what if they win?

"Let me do this, I will think about this memorial and then report it to the emperor." Wen Tiren clapped the memorial in his hand and said, "At the same time, I will remind the emperor to think twice. Be careful about this matter. It is best to promulgate the world when there is a good opportunity."

He made a conclusion, and the two assistant ministers stopped talking and could only do so.

Similar to the cabinet, Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the seal, also organized the eunuchs to discuss the matter, and finally drafted a memorial. With Cao Huachun's scheming and ingenious calculations, he was naturally a little worried about the changes in the national policy of such a big move, and he also wanted to remind the emperor.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was drinking tea leisurely in the house without caring about it.

However, when Concubine Tian heard the noisy sounds outside, she became a little worried. Just as she was about to say something, Liu Xingzuo came in to report and said that she had learned a list of wealthy businessmen from Chen Youtong.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Then pass it to Wang Chengen and let him investigate!"

After hearing this, Liu Xingzuo agreed. When he turned around and wanted to leave, he hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and said earnestly: "Master, the so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Otherwise, you and your wife will change places first, and the villain will deal with it here?"

When Concubine Tian heard the eyebrows, she immediately moved her eyebrows and immediately approached Emperor Chongzhen, and said softly: "Master, this is their place, and there is no government. I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid that if you are a body of 10,000 yuan, you should not have any risks. Moreover, it is more than enough for him to deal with such a small matter. I think it is better to be safe first!"

Hearing that both of them were persuading him, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and shook his head and said, "If I just want to solve this problem of Xingba, I really don't have to come forward in person. But I have other plans, it's best to stay here. Besides, if you have a thorough preparation, there will be no in case, don't worry."

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo and Concubine Tian looked at each other and could see the hidden worries in each other's eyes. The woman was not suitable for discussing political affairs, so Liu Xingzuo finally asked: "Master, is this matter very important? If there is anything that makes the villain come forward, I believe that as a villain, it is enough to do it!"

"Haha, this is not necessarily true!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and smiled, "Do you still remember the events of the Wanli period? Do you have any impression of "The Tombstone of the Five People"?"

When Liu Xingzuo first heard about the events during the Wanli period, he was a little confused, but when the emperor mentioned "The Tombstone of the Five People", he suddenly realized and couldn't help but speak.

Concubine Tian usually doesn’t care about political affairs, nor is she interested in learning about the past. At this time, when Emperor Chongzhen mentioned it, he saw Liu Xingzuo’s expression, and couldn’t help but become curious and asked, “Master, what’s wrong with the “Five-person Tombstone”?”

Emperor Chongzhen tapped the desk with his finger and said slowly: "After the peace has been too long, these people in the south have forgotten the majesty of the court. Civil officials from Jiangnan often refer to deer as horses, turning black and white. Those people's pens are sometimes much more powerful than swords and guns."

Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Xingzuo and said, "What I want to do will involve a lot, and it is not just for the dominance of Nanxun Town. Once you are just asking you to come forward, then some of those people will say something, and you can't stand it even if you write a pen. If it were me personally in this matter, I would be able to use thunderous means and no one dared to say anything anymore!"

Concubine Tian was still a little confused when she heard it, but Liu Xingzuo understood it. Most of the eunuchs sent to the south by Emperor Wanli were beaten to death by the southerners, and it was said that the eunuchs were tyrannical and caused civil rebellion. Not to mention anything else, there were civil rebellions near Suzhou. In fact, like the eunuchs sent in the palace, the Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal minions and was not favored by civil servants. Once the interests were greatly affected, they might lead to criticism. Unless they used swords and guns and forced suppression, it would be difficult to end up well!

But as the emperor said, once he handles this matter personally, it will be different!
