Chapter 1415 The pressure of mountains and waves
Such fierce changes naturally caused huge opposition.
The pressure from all sides quickly gathered towards the cabinet, and then turned to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu, who was hiding in the Shenlong Mansion to enjoy leisure, finally couldn't hide anymore.
Because, the Empress Dowager in the palace also felt the pressure and wrote a letter to Zhu Xu, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Zhu Xu looked at the letter and shook his head secretly. Princess Yongning, who was standing opposite him, was already a big girl, standing in front of Zhu Xu, pouting, and looking around boredly.
Zhu Xu put down the letter and said angrily, "What are you looking for?"
"Ye'er, where did he go?" Yongning said.
Zhu Xu glared at her angrily and said, "You are here, how can he not hide?"
Xiao Ciye is a dull person, but Yongning likes to tease him the most, so Xiao Ciye hides when she sees her.
Xiao Yongning glanced at his mouth and said, "Aunt Wang Xin just gave birth to a daughter. The queen of the mother asked you to go back and asked you to give her a name."
Empress Dowager Zhang hoped that Zhu Xu would bridge the relationship with King Xin and did not want the tragedy of fighting with each other in the same family and fighting each other, Zhu Xu always knew about this.
Zhu Xu ignored her and still thought about the contents of Empress Dowager Zhang's letter.
Empress Dowager Zhang said in the letter that the foreign court was in chaos, and some people used the "Records of Emperor Xizong" to find some old cases, such as the relationship between Tianqi and Keshi, Keshi's corrective orders to kill concubines in the harem, Wei Zhongxian's plot to cause chaos, and even Yongning's life experience turned into a mystery, etc.
Of course, there is nothing worth pondering about these things, and they also involve secret affairs of the king. They are taboos that can only be understood but not expressed. However, with the development of the "New Deal", the word "justice" has become extremely important and sensitive.
Those who take the past against the present are naturally the most convincing and deceptive.
As the widow of Tianqi, the most unwilling thing about Empress Dowager Zhang was probably because someone tried to slander his husband, which was also the reason why she was unable to let Yongning come to Shenlong Mansion in person.
Zhu Xu's expression was calm, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
The most difficult thing in this world is probably the intellectuals. In other words, they are those Confucian scholars with pens like knives, and their power is even more unimaginable at this time.
Zhu Xu silently looked up at Yongning. This girl is now sixteen, seven years younger than him. The rumors were not placed on him this time, but on the King of Xin Zhu Youjian.
There have been rumors outside the palace that Zhu Xu and Empress Dowager Zhang have an ambiguous relationship. Empress Dowager Zhang avoided Zhu Xu for several years, and it was not until Zhu Xu got married that the ban was lifted.
Now, he fell on the head of King Xin again.
‘I guess my sister-in-law must be very angry…’
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and groped with a dagger in his hand. This was a pure gold dagger sent by Li Dingguo. It was cast from the first gold brick after digging the gold mine of Japan.
Zhu Xu took it over, looked at the blade without Kaifeng, looked up at Yongning, and said, "This was submitted by Li Dingguo, for you. If you take it back to Beijing and see Prince Jing, you will say, I am very unhappy."
The little girl seemed heartless, but she was actually very clever. She took it and played with her after hearing this, approached Zhu Xu, and whispered: "Uncle, won't many people die, right?"
Zhu Xu pushed her head away as before, knocked her, and said, "After going back, young man runs to the old general Qin. I feel embarrassed to complain to me, just pretend that I really don't know you're messing around."
The little girl rubbed her head, hummed softly, and turned her eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, there is still someone in the palace."
Zhu Xu was stunned and then he remembered that there was indeed another person in the palace: Emperor Mingzheng and Xingzi.
Zhu Xu shook his head with a headache and said, "Don't worry about so many children. Let's go back after playing here for two days. Your mother will be in poor health in winter. You can take good care of her and don't cause any trouble."
The little girl pouted, her face full of unhappiness.
While Zhu Xu was talking to Yongning, something big happened in the capital city due to the influence.
That is, someone secretly printed and distributed newspapers, quietly spreading them all over the capital, and spreading them in large quantities.
This newspaper details and clearly lists the various "illegal laws" in Nanzhili in promoting the "New Deal", and describes the "New Deal" as a chaotic government that destroys the ancestral laws, harms the country and the people, and is jealous of evil.
This is the first time this privately printed newspaper has appeared on a large scale, causing a huge shock to the court. Sun Chuanting personally ordered a strict investigation and issued an order to various provinces to prevent this incident from happening again!
These actions naturally ushered in huge waves of opposition, and criticism from the government and the public were rampant.
Forbidden City.
The Cabinet Hall of the Outer Court is one of the two highest halls alongside the Grand Marshal's Mansion and the highest administrative decision-making center in the Ming Dynasty.
Sun Chuanting's class room.
The opposite side of the king, Xin, looked at Sun Chuanting quietly with a blank expression, took a sip of tea, and looked at Sun Chuanting quietly.
Sun Chuanting has been dealing with this prince for many years, but he is still a little surprised by his arrival.
At the beginning, Sun Chuanting insisted on consolidating the clan mansion into the cabinet management, but King Xin insisted on opposing it, but later he was suppressed by Zhu Xu to agree.
The two of them have no new sorrow but old hatred.
Sun Chuanting looked as usual and said, "Why did the prince come here for those rumors outside the palace?"
Zhu Youjian looked deserted. He was very hardworking and low-key in the clan's mansion in the past six months, but this rumor still angered him.
"The Queen Mother's reputation cannot be defiled, and the purity of the royal family cannot be slandered for nothing." Zhu Youjian said in a cold tone.
Sun Chuanting said: "Prince, if these rumors are deliberately explained or done, they will be easily believed to be true and spread more widely. If you ignore them, they will disappear over time."
Zhu Youjian looked up slightly and said, "What do you mean is to let it go?"
Sun Chuanting examined Zhu Youjian, guessing in his heart who he was, or did he have some thoughts?
After breaking a cup of tea, Sun Chuanting said, "What does the prince mean?"
Sun Chuanting said: "For the "Records of Emperor Xizong", the court should revisit these rumors, and crack down on them severely. All those who were spread openly will be sentenced to prison. For the major events of Jing Zheng, Chongzhen, Tianqi, Taichang, and Wanli, especially those cases with no conclusions or doubts, they will be sorted out, made public, and eliminated rumors..."
Sun Chuanting was just drinking tea and couldn't help but be stunned. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Youjian with a look of surprise.
These things are being circulated outside and asked the court to explain them. The purpose is nothing more than denying the legitimacy of the "New Deal" and attempting to force the "New Deal" to abort.
Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Youjian and understood a little.
Zhu Youjian is indeed not a lobbyist, these are his usual ideas.
Sun Chuanting couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that although the late emperor had been confused for many years, he was still awake at the last moment. If the throne was passed to this person, I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty might really have destroyed the country.
Sun Chuanting put down the teacup and said directly, "The current established policy of the cabinet is: not to argue, not to distract energy, to move forward, persevere, and to complete the 'new policy' with all efforts. Prince, go back, and in the future, be careful in your words and actions."
