On August 18, the second year of Jingzheng.

The left-hand assistant of the cabinet, Bi Ziyan, personally visited Jiang and Su, and was in charge of Yingtian Prefecture and the governor's yamen.

Bi Ziyan stood in the middle of the lobby, holding a golden imperial edict in his hand, expressionless and cold eyes.

Standing in front of him was almost all officials of Jiang and Su above the sixth rank, including the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, the Dali Temple, the Academy, and the prefects of various prefectures, more than fifty people!

Fang Kongzhang and Lu Qin stood in the front, behind Xu Jie and Feng Jiangfeng, followed by Wang Beicheng from the Governor's Yuan, Tao Yongxiu from the Dali Temple, Jiang Yicheng from the Provincial Academy, etc., wearing official uniforms, standing in a straightforward manner.

They stood in front of Bi Ziyan, with a tense expression and a serious expression.

Fang Kongzhao came back for three days first, and had already summoned various departments and officials to talk, repeatedly explain and communicate, so he barely suppressed it. Now, the formal decree has arrived.

Now, everyone knows what the imperial edict written in Bi Ziyan’s hand, and what it means to Jiangzuo’s humanistic brother Feicui.

They empathized with it, and the air was filled with a sense of despair and coldness.

Bi Ziyan looked at these people and felt heavy in his heart. Once this will was issued, Nanzhili would inevitably cause a tremendous storm. I don’t know when it will extend and what consequences it will bring to the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is the best result for him to strive to promulgate the edict. If it were someone else, I don’t know how bad it would be.

Bi Ziyan looked majestic and raised the imperial edict, saying in a deep voice, "Jiang and Su officials received the imperial edict!"

Fang Kongzhang and others knelt down and said, "I will accept the order."

More than fifty people knelt in the lobby. Even though they had already known the content of the imperial edict, they still couldn't help but tremble and were afraid.

"The emperor's edict said: I have been in great virtue and suddenly ascend to the throne. My power is not as good as the ancestor of the gods, and my virtue is not as good as my father and brother. I was awake at night and trembled with fear... But the treacherous and treacherous are rampant, the party is fighting for the whole country, the head and tail are connected, disrespectful to the king, ignore the king's orders, treat the people like straw dogs, the family, country and the country are in trouble, the people are in trouble, the world is boiling, I endure it again and again, and give it again and again... The ancestors are in front, and the history is recorded in the future. I dare not harm the word "benefit". Unexpectedly, the treacherous and treacherous are arrogant, unable to do anything, and cannot forgive me!"

Bi Ziyan's voice is sonorous and powerful, without any emotion.

Fang Kongqi and others listened, their expressions were cold.

Bi Ziyan glanced at them and continued, "...The government and the public were shocked, full of worries and fear, the people were unbearable, and complained... The court decided that the officials of Jiang and Su, after the third class surrendered, they did not move for five years, and all rebellions were punished and refused to be forgiven. To serve as a warning to others, the ban on Jiang and Su's imperial examinations for the fifth year, will never be used within the rules and regulations..."

Fang Kongzhao and others knelt deeply, and their faces were extremely uncomfortable.

They are all senior officials of Jiang and Su. Even if this decree has an impact on them, it is actually not a big deal. However, the attack on the entire Nanzhili is a catastrophe!

"I'm here!"

Fang Kongqiu and others were in a daze, their minds were confused and they didn't know what to think. It was not until Bi Ziyan recited these two words that he suddenly became clear and said, "I will accept the order."

Bi Ziyan handed over the imperial edict, Fang Kongxi took it, stood up, and stood up behind him.

A group of people faced Bi Ziyan, and Bi Ziyan also looked at them.

The people in the lobby all looked complicated and looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

If things happened before, there would never be a situation. The emperor would not be so strict, and the government and the people would not allow the emperor to do this. The least, there is the right to refute the six disciplines, and it is impossible to reach this point today!

But everything has changed, the six disciplines have long ceased to exist, and the government and the people have no ability to stop Zhu Xu.

Fang Kongxu wanted to speak but stopped. After a while, he finally said: "Gei, is there really no other way? If this is announced, Nanzhili..."

Bi Ziyan frowned, his eyes full of worry, but he said in a deep voice: "Nan Zhili has passed this time. Even if the emperor does not deal with it, the cabinet will not forgive me at all! This decree will be announced today. You must properly appease the people's hearts. Five years will not last long. Do not cause trouble again, otherwise... I will not ensure that there is no second Wei Zhongxian!"

Fang Kongzhao and others' expressions suddenly changed. Although most of the people here were not in Nanjing at that time, they knew that too many people had been killed that time. If they came again, Nanzhili would be destroyed.

The group of senior officials in Nanzhili looked at each other, full of worry and anxiety.

Fang Kongzhang actually wanted to ask Bi Ziyan whether this order could be dealt with. Seeing Bi Ziyan's attitude, he knew that there was no room for improvement, so he could only say: "Yes, the official understands."

Bi Ziyan came to Nanzhili this time, saying that he was an order to stabilize the hearts of Nanzhili. He did not want to put too much pressure on Fang Kongzhao and others. He pondered for a while and said, "I will stay for half a month and try to help you comfort me, so that there will be no more trouble. You should all know that in the eyes of the emperor, value the people more than the officials."

Seeing Bi Ziyan say this, Fang Kongxu sighed in his heart and said, "Rong Xiaguan and others will discuss it carefully and find a safe way to ensure that the gentry of Southern Zhili will not have a major rebound."

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly. This incident was a test for Kong Xu and others, and even the results of the "New Deal" were also a test.

Fang Kongzhao and others went to the side hall, discussed the incense stick of time, and waited for another half an hour. The departments, especially the Governor's Office, made the arrangements before the decree was made public.

"The foolish monarch! The foolish official! The unconscious Ming Dynasty is over!"

In a large courtyard, a study room with a luxurious and rich book fragrance, a middle-aged man heard the news and threw the book in his hand and roared to the sky.

"I knew I knew that the court would not give up like this easily! But why should I forbid me to wait!"

In an exquisite and low-key academy on the hillside, a man in his thirties muttered to himself first, then yelled loudly, and then started crying.

A white-haired old man, from his back, was at least sixty, but his face looked almost fifty. In fact, he was only about forty, and he stood outside the wall of the Gongyuan, looking at the closed door, his eyes flowed, and muttered, "I started to learn since I was four years old, and I took the provincial examination more than ten times, and I failed once. A few years ago, the court had to limit his age. I thought there was no hope in this life... I went to the academy and thought there was still a chance, but now I have completely cut off my thoughts...whether..."

He turned slowly and walked towards the Qinhuai River not far away, as if he was crying and laughing. His eyes were filled with the scene of the scene of the official edict after passing the imperial examination, and his body was full of honor and returning home.

"The imperial examination hurt me!" He shouted and jumped off the Qinhuai River.

In a pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River, five young people were surrounded by seven famous prostitutes, and were very happy, drinking and writing poems.

But listening to the news from outside, everyone looked pale, the wine glass in their hands trembled, and there was no smile at all.

Although the imperial court had bans in the past, they were not so strict. They were used to it and were good at breaking rules. These were not a problem for those who had a huge network of relationships!

But now it’s different. The emperor issued an order. It is clear that in the future, they will never be able to take the imperial examination again and will never be able to enter the officialdom again!

"Donglin misled me in Jiangzuo!" Suddenly, a young man yelled, tore the "Donglin Sage Fan" in his hand to pieces, and the others also smashed the wine glasses, and then shouted, almost crazy.

Some wealthy families and scholarly families in the era either cried bitterly, cursed, or were speechless, thinking of other ways in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, officials from the Southern Zhili also experienced severe turmoil, and the transfer was banned for five years. This was a "severe of official career" for too many people, and all kinds of strange things happened.

Fang Kongzhang and others made arrangements and were pressing with all their strength.

But this is just the beginning, and the storm always needs to be brewed. Once it is completed, it is the most terrifying.

In the Ganqing Palace, in the shade under the eaves, Zhu Xu looked at the south with his hands behind his back.

Cao Huachun guessed Zhu Xu's thoughts, waited for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Jiang Su?"

Zhu Xu stood here for half an hour, shook his head, and said, "No matter how big the matter in Nanzhili is, it is just between my backhand. Let them make trouble. I am thinking about where the prince of King Xin has gone now..."

The Hongwu has been going to sea for half a year, and I have no idea of ​​the specific situation now.

It is still too dangerous for today's ships. If you say subvert, you will be subverted, and if you say you will disappear, it will disappear. However, no matter how big the fleet is.
Chapter completed!
