In April, the court issued consecutive reports of the residence, saying that the Holy Body was a little safe. Then the order was sent out, strictly ordering officials from all over the country not to spread rumors and cause trouble. During this period, the newspapers were not allowed to speculate on the palace and ordered the local governors to come to the capital to meet the saints in batches. +◆w.

It is generally believed that Emperor Hong Xi's condition has improved, because it has been like this every time in the past ten years. The emperor's safety has touched the hearts of countless people, because it concerns the destiny of the country and the vital interests of everyone.

It is conceivable that the summoning officials from the border to the capital was really good, but before people could get angry, the court sent another decree.

"The commander Liu Guan, the commander of the capital, gathered corruption and crimes, and the Censorate has many party members, and corruption has become a trend. He was ordered to remove his left commander, the Crown Prince Shaobao and the Grand Secretary to imprison him immediately. He ordered Gu Zuo to take over as the commander of the capital, and work with the three departments to investigate the case. I am so proud of this!"

For a moment, the officialdom was shocked, and people speculated that the emperor wanted to clear the way for his son, or perhaps it was from the prince's own opinion. Over the years, everyone has a clear idea of ​​what kind of virtue the Censorate was in Liu Guan's hands. Many censors used their rights to coerce and tempt officials who committed the matter and took the opportunity to extort benefits.

In addition, Dali Temple Minister Yu Qianxi and others jointly wrote a letter to impeach Liu Guan. Liu Guan asked the fourteen censors to accuse these officials of accusation, and the fuss was finally overwhelmed. Liu Guan himself was extravagant and had hundreds of singers in his family. This is a well-known thing, so the government and public opinion despised him.

Soon, rumors spread, saying that the prince summoned Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, a grandson of the cabinet, and asked: "When he was the ancestors, the court officials were honest, but recently they have become greedy and turbid, so why?"

Yang Shiqi replied: "It has indeed happened in recent years, but it has even more in the past two years."

The prince asked, "Who is the most important today?"

Yang Rong replied: "Liu Guan!"

The removal of the left censor Liu Guan and the investigation of the collective corruption and inaction of the Censorate is a great pleasure. Because the initiator was the crown prince Zhu Zhanji, it also made the subjects have a good impression of this future crown prince.

The problem is to investigate the imperial edict of the Censorate, but the subsequent decrees instantly shocked the government and the public.

"The Prince's Young Master Xu Hao. He has been counseling on the government for many years and has no suggestions for good governance. I have repeatedly issued edicts to ask for advice, and only perfunctory suggestions such as prohibiting women from binding their feet and starting new schools. He was not sincere in his service, and should have been strictly handled. Thinking that his Jingnan made great contributions to the country and had no major mistakes, he would be exempted from the Prince's Young Master and temporarily stayed in the cabinet."

Before the government and the public woke up, the decree came down again.

"Xu Hao is a relative of the imperial family. He was born into a noble family. He was regarded as a humerus from two generations and received great kindness. I treat him as a brother of the opposite sex. He should have been dedicated to the country and serve the king with sincerity. However, Xu Hao was the most powerful minister, and was uneasy in his position. He made friends with foreign officials and connected with the princes. He was indecent. He was not a good person. He was exempted from punishment. He was given a gold medal and returned home. He ordered the local government to strictly restrain him!"

No one expected that the repeated treatments were all aimed at the top figures around the emperor. Who in the world didn’t know Master Xu San? How could you not be shocked!

Moreover, there was no warning in advance, nor did the court officials consult the court officials. At this time, the entire Censorate was in chaos. Even the wall was overwhelmed by everyone and the opportunity to beat the drums and beat them, he quietly knocked Xu Hao, the leader of the heroes of Jingnan, into the dust. It was so damn strange.

Many officials are very sorry for this. If it is customary, there will be rumors in advance. After all, many people do not like Xu Hao's support for Xinxue and newspapers to support women's equal rights, nor do they like the collective wealthy and the Jingnan ministers. The impeachment memorials of everyone will be published together, and at least they will expose all kinds of illegal and misconducted scandals from the powerful and noble people. At least they have to take off the iron certificates of these dukes and marquises to avoid death? Ask the heart, this is definitely beneficial to the country.

He demoted Xu Hao to a commoner in a daze, but in fact he was still unable to move his bones and could still inherit the title of Duke of England in the future. In short, after a thunder blew, the court and the country were surprisingly calm, and no one gave a memorial to play with. Everyone could see the emperor's deep meaning and clear the obstacles for his son, but they didn't want to be so sad that they were all the generals and officials of Xu Hao.

If the prince really dislikes Xu Hao and does not care about the affection of relatives, then even if he becomes the emperor, he will not dare to act rashly, because Xu Hao is not fighting alone, and will definitely provoke a fight between the court. Look at Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji, Zhang Fu and other important officials. Who has never been to Xu Hao?

Unless the prince intends to replace all the annoying guys, right! It is normal to change it, so there is a quiet undercurrent undercurrent under the surface, and countless officials are staring at any disturbance in the capital, and privately swear allegiance to the East Palace in order to seize a place in the near future.

In the Ganqing Palace, Empress Zhang sat alone in the empty hall, next door was an unconscious husband. Although she seemed so calm on the surface, her heart was rumbling, thinking about the big and small things in the palace, especially the emperor's condition had no chance of improvement. It was a trend that day by day. How could a couple not be anxious?

However, she kept in mind the words of Xu Hao before leaving. As the queen and the empress dowager, the mother of a country, she had to cultivate a demeanor that was unmoving and could not be despised. Therefore, on the eve of a new battle for power that was about to be faced, she pretended to be nothing, and sadness was useless at all.

There is no father and son in front of power, and the Zhang family cannot avoid the common people. The son is too young to give him the whole world and then hide in the inner palace and ignore her. She must balance her son and ensure that the country and the country will flourish as usual. Otherwise, she will be the eternal sinner of the Zhu family, how can she face the ancestors after her death?

At this time, Prince Zhu Zhanji walked out of the warm room and stood respectfully in front of his mother.

Zhang took his son's hand and said slowly: "Your uncle is leaving for you, so tell your mother, what are you going to do? Cabinet ministers and the six ministers, how many do you want to move?"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned and quickly said, "Mother, my son has never had such an idea. The ministers in the cabinet are all well-known wise men, and the dukes are also loyal and kind. How can the child do stupid things that destroy his own arms?"

"Really?" Zhang stared at his son's face.

"Really." Zhu Zhanji said seriously. He really didn't have this idea.

"That's good." Zhang felt relieved, afraid that his son would not be afraid of a tiger when he was born, and would play the trick of a emperor and a minister when he ascended the throne. It was not that the mother did not understand his son, but that there were too many such examples in history. When he was a prince, he immediately changed into another person after becoming the emperor.

Through these days' observations, Zhang could see that in addition to being sad, his son also had some uncontrollable joy. He was able to ascend the throne to the throne at the age of less than 20, become the heir to the Ming Empire, and achieve revenge in his heart and rule the world. God really loved him so much.

Zhang sighed quietly, and unfortunately she became a widow, but fortunately she was promoted to the empress dowager. As for those concubines, just let them live.

In Xiaojia Village, Zhang Fu drank the tea in one sip and said, "Your Majesty woke up last night. I happened to be here. I asked about the current situation. I dare not hide it and told you about it."

Xu Hao, opposite, nodded and said, "I have talked to the emperor several times about his past events, and he will not be surprised."

"Yes." Zhang Fu sighed: "It's true that you are not surprised. Your Majesty thought for a moment and immediately ordered Quan to draft an order. He ordered me to come and visit you, saying that you are wronged."

Xu Hao didn't say anything and nodded again. Zhang Fu couldn't help asking: "You should know these things. Now the capital city has been earth-shaking again."

Xu Hao imagined the court being caught off guard now. It was obvious that Zhu Gaochi had attacked his confidant old ministers, just like Zhu Yuanzhang put a group of officials in prison, and Zhu Di put Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji and others in prison in history. Of course, Xie Jin died unexpectedly, while the others were later pardoned by the new emperor and restored to their posts.

The same was true in the Qing Dynasty. I remember that Emperor Kangxi demoted capable officials one after another before his death, so as to avoid these people being trapped in party struggles and being unfavorable to the future court situation. Once the wrong person is supported, the new emperor will inevitably start killing. However, following the right person is easy to be proud and difficult to control. Therefore, the more reluctant he is, the more he has to be imprisoned. After the new emperor ascends the throne, can he not be grateful? He turns to become a minister of the new emperor.

Therefore, Xu Hao also took the initiative to choose to retreat as he advances, and there was no way to do so. He was not as taciturn as his brother-in-law and was obedient as himself. Zhu Di died at the musket back then. If Zhu Zhanji was not deeply afraid, he would have seen a ghost! Besides, Zhu Zhanji was not a mediocre person at the mercy of others, and the way of flattering was useless at all.

Now no one can threaten Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Gaoxu is far away overseas, Zhu Gaosui is dead, Zhu Yunwen's sons have been demoted to common people and are enclosed in high walls. There are no one to support several princes, so they cannot shake the orthodox prince's orthodoxy at all.

So he was too lazy to care. Now he had to raise enough energy. Zhu Gaochi died, and he could kill half of his life during the national mourning period.

Zhang Fu said goodbye and left. His spirit has been tense these days. He has strictly controlled the defense of the Forbidden City and the mobilization of major military camps in the capital, and has to monitor the movements of the entire world's military towns.

There were severe droughts and various natural disasters, and several refugees rebelled from last year to this year. Fortunately, there was no major uprising like Tang Sai'er.

No one knew that Xu Hao had always been paying attention to Shandong, vigorously developing the local economy, building water conservancy facilities, paying attention to granaries, and actively supporting the removal of silt canals. Last year, the drought was severe, and the food was quickly allocated to the people, and persuaded Zhu Gaochi to reduce taxes on a large scale, which prevented the Tang Saier Uprising from happening in history.

It was because of the failure to build Beiping, the northern expedition, the south-to-north grain transfer, and the canal excavation, so the people of Shandong were able to have enough time to rest. On the contrary, Zhu Di hated the most the people of Shandong. During the Jingnan period, not only did he kill countless subordinates, but he also almost defeated the great cause of fighting for the throne.
