"Have you heard that Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were summoned to the palace. These two are both direct descendants trained by the emperor!"

"Sun Chuanting has only been an official for two years, and Lu Xiangsheng has only copied and written in the Hanlin Academy for half a year. What kind of virtue is that he was summoned to meet the saint!"

Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, Wuxi Academy.

There are fifty or sixty people gathered here, and the number is still increasing, with most civil servants being demoted in Nanjing this time.

Everyone's face was filled with indignation and worry.

"You may not know, but I have heard that Tian Ergeng was also summoned to the palace together!"

"Isn't this nonsense to ask that Wei Zhongxian's minion to harm others?"

"The Ming Dynasty is over!"

Indeed, some people don’t know that Tian Ergeng has reused it. After the last time he did not do anything, the Governor Tian was rarely given by Zhu You’s school committee. It’s all trivial matters.

It’s just that the call for opposing reform is too high now, which gives him another chance.

As soon as the news came out, there was a burst of yelling and scolding in Wuxi Academy.

"This time the sanction is not only in Nanjing, but also in the four provinces of Jiangnan. A large number of officials and offices have been sanctioned. The public is full of grievances. If this continues, the world will be in chaos!"

"After all, the emperor was young, so he must have believed the words of the eunuch party and thought that this would save money for the treasury, but he didn't know that this was self-destruction!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid that the old story of Zhengde will be repeated again!"

Wang Duo, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, also stood up and said in a deep voice:

"Now my Ming Dynasty is in trouble, and I can't stand such tossing..."

As he said that, he bowed to everyone:

"I would like to ask all sirs to work together to dissuade the emperor. If you do so willfully and do so, and not only do it, you will overthrow the ancestor system, you may even shake the foundation of the country!"

Zou Weilian, a native of Jiangxi, Xia Jiayu, a native of Songjiang, and Jiang Yunyi, a native of Jiaxing, are all representatives of prominent and mediocre abilities among the officials who were sacked this time.

They all frowned and their faces were solemn.

When everyone heard Wang Duo's words, they looked at each other for a while and quickly returned their greetings to each other, as if they had forgotten that they were no longer officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yongguang, the Minister of War in Nanjing, may be the one who knows the most clearly the current situation and is also the most complicated.

Originally, the power of Nanjing was basically controlled by him and the internal custody Du Sheng.

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, was very smart. He gave up his hereditary position of coordinated garrison as early as the Wanli period and refused to go to this muddy water.

After the rebellion of Zhu Guobi of Funing Hou, Nanjing Xuqi basically had the same heart as the emperor, and Xu Hongji would not seize his own rights at this time.

He knew very well that this time the emperor came down to rectify the current smoky officialdom in Nanjing!

But Wang Yongguang and Du Sheng did not expect that the entire imperial edict would be severance. They were still fighting to the death, but with the reform order of Emperor Tianqi without warning, the whole situation changed.

Although the department has been laid off, as long as the old palace is still there, Du Sheng, the chief supervisor, and the 12 internal prisons, the various bureaus of the palace concubines will still exist.

There was no change inside the imperial city, but it was already earth-shaking outside.

Don’t forget that Zhu Youxiao conducted another major test after the resolution. According to the results of the major test, he left behind 500 officials who were originally in Nanjing.

Some of these people may stay in Nanjing, while others may be filled with vacancies and become officials from other places.

For the latter, they were demoted to Nanjing. This time, they could still be an official, which could be considered a blessing in disguise. They naturally kept their mouths tightly, and they didn't care about themselves and were hanged up.

I will remain unmoved if you are stormy outside.

Wang Yongguang belongs to the latter, but his status is the most embarrassing.

Some news has long known about Wuxi Academy, the former Ming Dynasty ministers.

Zhu Youxiao decided to demote Nanjing's status as Liudu to "Zhengzai". In other words, another court here will be completely abolished this time.

Zhu Youxiao was telling them with practical actions that no matter how you make trouble or oppose it, what the emperor decided must be implemented to the end!

From now on, there can only be one capital in the Ming Dynasty!

In the future, even the accompanying capital will not be there. The name "Nanjing" will no longer exist after the reform. The name on the official side will follow the people and will be directly changed back to Jinling.

After the reform, Nanjing has a similar political status as that of Yonglenian Beijing.

The movement generally refers to the place where the emperor is, or specifically the place where the emperor is patrolling. The movement here tends to be the latter and is temporarily established.

Zhu Youxiao plans to not change this "temporary" within at least ten years.

I will temporarily change Nanjing to the 10th anniversary. Let’s talk about what happened later. Perhaps the situation at that time was different from now on, so it is impossible to say that the situation was upgraded to the 10th anniversary.

This trip to Nanjing was not only Zhu Youxiao's backup method, but also a slight concession made in opposing the storm.

Of course, that's all this concession.

From now on, the title of Nanzhili will be gone. You people can't change for a while, so you can continue to call Nanzhili.

However, Nanzhili will be broken up and some of the central prefectures will be divided into the establishment of a Jinling Province. This reform and progress will not change.

Like other provinces, the three departments and local garrisons must be re-divided and appointed. As for the twelve internal prisons and bureaus in the old palace, this time it will be completely retained, which is called "Jinling Travel in the Inner Court".

Zhu Youxiao abolished the Nanjing small court, but retained a small Nanjing palace.

This issue has also been considered. In fact, these eunuchs and palace maids cannot spend much money all year round. They are much easier to raise than the huge and complex Nanjing civil servants.

If they are sacked, who will maintain the Nanjing Imperial Palace?

Keeping them can not only continue to maintain the Nanjing Imperial Palace, but also do some things nearby in Nanjing in the name of the royal family.

To put it bluntly, this small inner court in Nanjing is equivalent to a branch of the Forbidden City. There is not much system in the whole system. It is clear and clear that the emperor of the current dynasty is completely the one who is on the front line.

The short-term use is much greater than the original Six Nanjing Ministry, and the most important thing is that it is easy to maintain.

As the former Minister of War in Nanjing, Wang Yongguang had the greatest power and was also very familiar with the corruption and degeneration of the Nanjing bureaucratic system.

Originally, Wang Yongguang was dissatisfied. He was the leader of Nanjing before, but in a blink of an eye he became a little civilian. Who can stand this?

But after the big test, he couldn't speak.

Wang Yongguang was left as the first place in the exam and was selected as the first governor of Jinling Province. This is a magistrate of the border. It is impossible to say that he doesn't breathe a sigh of relief.

But the problem follows.

There were only 500 officials selected, and more officials were demoted, all waiting for Wang Yongguang, the former Minister of War, to lead them to cause trouble.

I had written a memorial before saying that I opposed reform and became the governor of Jinling. In a blink of an eye, I ignored them and patted my butt and left.

It's really hard to say when this matter is spread.

In places like Wuxi Academy, Wang Yongguang, who became the governor of Jinling, has always avoided it for fear of being unable to do so.

But these people were really making a big fuss. They blocked the door and refused to let go. They also spread rumors among the people all day long, ruining his reputation as the pure and honest one.

This time, Wang Yongguang couldn't stand it anymore, so he planned to accept the invitation and come over to make everything clear.

As soon as the people arrived, they heard their complaints, and they felt a little sympathetic to the current emperor. What should these people be punished?

As for himself?

To be honest, Wang Yongguang is still quite proud.

I thought to myself that this emperor was not stupid, he was really good at employed people. It seemed that the value of that big exam was very high. The first five hundred candidates must have real talents and practical things, just like myself.

The first place in the Nanjing Grand Examination, and if you put it in the palace exam, you will be the top scorer!

If you are left with your own ability, you will be sacked by the court. What does this have to do with your own support?

Thinking of this, he smiled and stood up and said:

"Everyone, please listen to my words..."

Everyone still respects this original Minister of War, Nanjing. After all, everyone can see Wang Yongguang's ability.

Wang Yongguang said:

"From the perspective of Benfu, you should go to the Southwest to give lectures!"

"The court has a policy, and you will be given priority to re-entering officials when you go to the southwest to give lectures. Although you are no longer appointed officials in the court, your Majesty will still allow you to give lectures from the southwest to give lectures."

"Two years later, I will be a good colleague of my tutor again!"

After listening to it, everyone was silent for a while.
Chapter completed!
