The twenty-sixth chapter explains the political power (1)

Then he said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Aiqing, Sun Aiqing has just returned from an inspection tour in Liaodong. He has some views on the situation in Liaodong. You can talk about it when you have time. It is very beneficial for you to train troops. I don't want the new army I trained to be at a loss as soon as I go to the battlefield in Liaodong."

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong replied immediately: "I will study it carefully and live up to the emperor's wishes."

At this time, Zhu Youxiao saw Miliana standing aside and wanted to talk but didn't dare. She looked at her at a loss, so she changed the topic and said, "Today I am here to visit the Portuguese from Macau. I didn't expect that there were so many troubles today. But I am still very happy today. However, the Portuguese I invited are still waiting in the courtyard outside the gate. I don't want to waste more time. Since I don't want to stay in the inn, then go to that church quickly. Just today I want to go out for a walk, so I will go with me."

Everyone around them saw some clues. Isn’t the emperor just trying to pick up girls? Otherwise, he would be so polite to these Portuguese people. Forget it, what else can he do if the emperor likes it? So the entire research institute started to struggle again, and a bunch of people marched towards Xuanwumen in a mighty way.

The emperor left the palace and was a big show. Now he followed more than 200 Portuguese. In addition, there were other officials from the institute who swayed through the streets of the capital. Although the people on the roadside had heard of the Red Barbarians, they were as lively as the hundreds of Red Barbarians today. At this time, the city of Beijing became noisy, and the onlookers stood slowly on the roadside.

But at this time, Zhu Youxiao was a little distressed. Just now, Zhu Youxiao asked Miliana to go to the church with him on his dragon chariot. Unexpectedly, not only did the ministers object, but even Miliana refused, saying that she wanted to be with her father. Since Zhu Youxiao became emperor, no one dared to oppose him. This was a bit distressed. Zhu Youxiao thought that such a big show was very majestic, but it was hindering her picking up girls. Hi, the emperor was also worried.

But Miliana was walking on the streets of the capital, looking at the buildings on the roadside and pedestrians all over the streets, and enviously. Miliana grew up in Macau. Although she had been to the prosperous place of Guangzhou, Guangzhou was just a metropolis on the southeast coast. It was as prosperous as the capital. Her eyes were already dazzled. When she saw the emperor's dragon carriage in front of her, she felt a little crazy. The dead emperor was not old, but she was very arrogant and spoke very well. She was just a match for his appearance. The most important thing was to stare at herself.

He didn't let go, his eyes were almost falling out. He was so angry at that time that he really wanted to step forward and dig out his eyes. However, this person was the emperor. Before his father entered the capital, he told him to restrain his temper when he arrived in the capital, and especially to tell him some etiquette. Today, he just couldn't stand what the Jinyiwei did outside. He forgot his father's words for a while, and went forward to argue, but unexpectedly he was arrested. Finally, the emperor was staring at Zhu Youxiao's Long Yu.

However, Father Sampayo was very happy at this time. If you want to say that after entering the capital, there will be constant good things. It seems that this time, you will definitely be able to do a great job. This time, you will bring more than 100 craftsmen, including those who make cannons and muskets. Xu Jiaoyou is right. As long as you can make this emperor happy, the obstacles to preaching will be greatly reduced. What's more, this emperor likes his daughter in this way, so it's a bit embarrassing. It's hard to use Miliana's happiness to exchange for the favor of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If his friends in heaven know this, would I still have the face to see him in heaven?

But this long team passed half of Beijing and came to the church in Xuanwu Gate. This church is a typical Western church. However, if you are careful, you can see many Eastern colors. The church is not all stone structures like Western churches. There are many woods in it. Therefore, after more than ten years of use, the entire church seems a bit dilapidated. However, at this time, there are already some workers busy cleaning up, and dozens of ragged people standing far away in the open space next to it were muttering. Zhu Youxiao frowned and pulled Wei Chao to ask, "Wei Chao, come over and ask, what's going on."

After a moment, Wei Chao returned and said, "Back to the emperor, it was some displaced refugees who occupied the church. The Jinyiwei, who came first, drove everyone out in order to free the church for the Portuguese."

When Zhu Youxiao heard that there were refugees in the capital, he said, "In the past, I asked about it, they were all refugees from there, and I asked for more details. Then I sent someone to find a place to settle these refugees. I will treat them equally, so I will definitely treat them equally."

At this time, Xu Guangqi next to him stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in the past two years, Shanxi has been suffering from continuous drought, crop particles have not been harvested, and the people have been displaced. These refugees are probably from Shaanxi."

Zhu Youxiao felt a little sad when he heard this. He didn't expect that Shaanxi and Shanxi were like this. Why didn't there be any ministers in the court mention it to him? He said loudly: "I don't know what the Ming Dynasty looks like in the palace. I just understand the Ming Dynasty based on the description of the ministers. But today, I don't know anything and nothing. There are so many refugees in the capital now. I don't know. I don't think those ministers don't want me to know. Forget it, go back to the palace and find all the ministers of the six ministers of the cabinet. I want to have a good chat with these ministers."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and the rest of the people stood there at a loss.

Father Sampayo was also depressed. He just saw Zhu Youxiao was still very happy, but he suddenly became furious. However, Sampayo didn't care about that much, so he hurried to clean up the church so that he could move in as soon as possible.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Fang Congzhe met, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Liu Yi-ying met, the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel Zhou Jiamo met, and the Minister of Justice Huang Ke-zhang met." The eunuch outside the door shouted in a sharp voice. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little headache. After a while, the ministers of the six departments and six departments arrived one after another. Zhu Youxiao looked at these ministers with expressionless faces. At this time, the rich lily fragrance in the golden and purple jade tripod in the room came to his nose, and he couldn't help but feel upset, and impatiently let people remove the spices in the cauldron. However, he was still a little restless, so he ignored the people below and walked out the door alone, looking up at the light gray sky, and saw the clouds in the distance moving slowly, and a gust of wind blew. At this time, Wei Chao came and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting in the room."

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath and turned around and went into the door. He saw a pile of memorials and spies piled up on the Long Case. Zhu Youxiao walked straight behind the Long Case and sat down, giving a wink at the eunuchs around him, so the eunuchs and Jinyiwei all pushed out the house.

The cabinet chief Fang Congzhe stood under the Dragon Case. Seeing Zhu Youxiao's unusual behavior, he felt a dangerous breath with his keen sense of scent of the scent of the cabinet for many years. He was not very clear about the emperor's urgent intention of summoning the six ministers of the cabinet. He only heard that the emperor went out of the palace today and saw some refugees, so he urgently returned to the palace to summon the six ministers of the cabinet. If that was just like this, it would not be a big deal. At this time, Fang Congzhe looked at the ministers around him, and all he saw were all at a loss and strange expressions, thinking, no one knew the emperor's true meaning. I don't understand!

Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he has not interfered with the affairs of the court. Some of the actions were also done by the institute, the Anti-corruption Bureau, and the like. There was no major move against the officials in the court. It was not that Zhu Youxiao did not want to take action, but there was no place to take action. Now the court was obviously divided into two camps. The Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party divided the forces of the court equally, and the remaining old centrists were all light-powered figures. This is why emperors of all dynasties were very disgusted with the ministers' formation of party members for personal gain. Since it was an interest group, you need to eliminate them thoroughly. Now Zhu Youxiao is in this situation. It has been more than a month since he ascended the throne, and all the preparations were sufficient in secret. Just wait for a blow to the thunder. Today, Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the refugee affairs and beat the world to the end.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers below and said with a blank expression: "Today I urgently recruit all the ministers and workers. I think you must not know what happened. Then I tell you that I went out of the palace today. I saw something. I think even I know. Do you know? Shaanxi and Shanxi have been drought for two consecutive years, and the grains have not been harvested. It is so tragic that the people change their children to eat. But I know that the court has exempted the taxes from the two places, opened warehouses and released grains, and allocated silver for assistance. But why is it still like this? The chief assistant Fang Aiqing, tell me."

Fang Congzhe heard this and knew that the situation was not good. The court had a lot of oil and water to rescue disasters. It was a common thing in the officialdom. Today, the emperor mentioned this matter and naturally had to take action against others. It was better to quickly separate the relationship. So he immediately said: "Back to the emperor, these Shaanxi and Shanxi opened warehouses and released grain when the emperor was alive and allocated silver to help. As for the matter of refugees, it must be that local officials were corrupt and abused the law, and they greedy the court's warehouses and disaster relief silver regardless of the lives of the people. When I go back, I will try my best to check it out and will catch all these corrupt officials in one go."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly and shouted loudly: "What a fight, can you beat me all in one place? I don't have enough corrupt officials who are in power? Think about it yourself, it's clear who is not who is."

Before Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, the ministers below were already scared. They were all veterans who had been with the officialdom for many years. How could they not know what the emperor meant? This time, they were probably taking advantage of the issue and they had to settle their own accounts. They immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am meticulous in serving the country carefully, so I will do anything to be corrupt and abuse the law."

Zhu Youxiao sneered behind the Long case and said, "There is no corruption and abuse of power, but how can I know that it is all the fact that you are corruption and abuse of power."

After saying that, he picked up a pile of memorials on the table and threw them at Fang Congzhe. The memorials scattered in front of Fang Congzhe with a clamor. Zhu Youxiao said again: "This pile of memorials from the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei. The memorials are all serious crimes of beheading, forming cliques for personal gain, framing loyal and kind, embezzling and accepting bribes, forcing farmland, and your son, forcing the robbery of the people, and forcing the robbery of the people. There are many of them. Fang Aiqing read slowly."
