Zhao Nanxing laughed a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, just be fine!"
For Zhao Nanxing, he did not want to see Zhu Youxiao okay.
Because he, like many scholar-bureaucrats who opposed Zhu Youxiao's new policy, wished that Ming Dynasty could change its emperor.
But he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor already had many supporters, and he could not show any dissatisfaction.
Therefore, he could only pretend that he cared about the emperor's safety.
However, because of this, Zhao Nanxing felt very uncomfortable at the moment.
For the emperor's supporters such as Fang Congzhe, Wang Yingjiao, Bi Ziyan, and Bi Maokang, they felt very lucky that the emperor was fine.
But also because the emperor's assassination actually happened, they also felt very angry.
Especially when bidding farewell to the coffin of Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, and returning to his hometown, Zhou Yongchun, the Zuo Deputy Capital Censor who was Fang Congzhe's close confidant, took the initiative and said: "Everyone, in the important place of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, such a major conspiracy has occurred. Even Donglu people also appeared, so much so that Uncle Zong died in the line of duty because of this incident, are we going to let this incident go unchecked?!"
"Of course not! The fact that the Donglu people can sneak into the pass and become assassins means that there must be officials in the border town collaborating with the enemy, and there are also spies colluding with them in the pass! This kind of thing must be investigated to the bottom of it! The real culprit behind it must be found out, although it is difficult to find out such The case is being investigated by Dongchang, but we have to have our attitude, and we have to ask Your Majesty to let Dongchang investigate this matter strictly, so that His Majesty can see that we are loyal."
Qi Shijiao, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also agreed and said: "Therefore, we should submit this copy to let His Majesty know that most of our courtiers are loyal and are eager to kill the traitors who just plotted against Your Majesty! To strengthen the Majesty. Heart!"
"That's right. In order to boost your Majesty's morale and allow the New Deal to be implemented, we should submit our work together!"
Han Jun, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, also echoed.
"Very good! It's rare for your colleagues to have such determination. I am willing to go to Fugu with you to let Your Majesty know our thoughts!"
Fang Congzhe also came here at this time, and after paying homage to Sun Ruyou's coffin, he also started talking with a smile.
"Since Yuan Fu has this intention, then Wang will go too!"
"Bi Mou is going too!"
For a time, the civil servants of these new gentry groups who were related to government-owned industries all decided to join the government.
…
"Your Majesty, many officials are kneeling outside the Zuo Shun Gate. They want to present themselves in front of the emperor. They hope that Your Majesty can order a minister to investigate the traitors who plotted to murder your father! If you don't tolerate even one person, you will kill all the nine tribes!"
Not long after these civil servants who supported Zhu Youxiao were dismissed, Wang Chengen hurriedly came to Zhu Youxiao to report.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and asked, "How many officials came to visit the palace and who were they?"
"Back to your Majesty, most of them are here, including Yuan Fu, the elders of the Pavilion, and the Nine Ministers!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Let's go and have a look."
When Zhu Youxiao came to Zuoshunmen, he saw many civil servants kneeling at Zuoshunmen, holding up memorials and shouting loudly.
The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth gradually turned upward.
This time, he was not as angry as the Donglin Party civil servants Fuque Shangben a few years ago.
Because this time the civil servants went to the palace to express their loyalty to him as the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao was even a little moved by this, because he had to admit that he, the emperor, was not fighting alone now.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, it turns out that there are no eternal enemies and friends in this world, only eternal interests. Now, he, a tyrant, has a large group of civil servants supporting him.
"They are worried that I will shrink back because of this murder and no longer lead them to continue to make profits in the world! They are here to express their determination to me! Collect all their memorials and register them for my royal inspection, and then , tell them that Dongchang will strictly investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, and let them go back to their offices and work with peace of mind. I already know their thoughts. In addition, I will pass on my oral instructions to them. I will not back down. I hope they Don’t back down, because the more the opponents jump to the wall, the more worthwhile it is to do what we do!”
Zhu Youxiao gave instructions next.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wang Chengen replied with tears in his eyes.
…
At this time, many civil servants were indeed kneeling outside Zuo Shun's gate. They all held up memorials and shouted, requesting His Majesty to issue an order to investigate the real culprit behind the murder of the emperor's father.
Because most of these kneeling civil servants are already the beneficiaries of the official industry created by Zhu Youxiao, they now need the emperor, and they also hope to severely punish those who dare to murder the emperor.
Of course, the officials who came to Fu Que were forced to do so together due to the situation, but they did not want to do so in their hearts.
At this time, Zhao Nanxing had to kneel here, looking at a group of civil servants who were beaten to death. For a moment, he felt sick in his heart, and said to himself: "I really hope that tyrant can be a little wiser and kill these Fang Congzhe, Wang Yingjiao, and Bi Ziyan." The gangsters who were waiting for me were hacked to death with swords, just like they did to me, the civil servant Dong Lin of Fugu, back then!"
But at this time, eunuchs from the inner court came out, and they just conveyed the imperial edict that Zhu Youxiao would not back down, and let these civil servants return to the Yamen to work hard, and then collected all the memorials from these people.
Zhao Nanxing was quite disappointed with this and felt even more uncomfortable.
"Won't you back down? Death really can't threaten a tyrant like him?! This is really a terrible emperor!"
Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Then, after Zhao Nanxing looked at some of the emperor's loyal supporters around him who started to cry excitedly after hearing the emperor's oral instructions, Zhao Nanxing felt even more uncomfortable, and thought again: "Most of the officials in the capital are like him. Zhu You is from school, what’s the point of being an official!"
Civil officials such as Fang Congzhe and Wang Yingjiao who supported the reform were indeed worried that the emperor would not dare to insist on the reform and would retreat because of the assassination.
After all, many emperors in history who were determined to innovate gave up because of strong resistance.
But these officials who have chosen to become reformists because of their interests and a little bit of idealism have no way out. Unlike the emperor who may compromise and be used as a mascot and a ceremonial symbol to legally exploit the common people, he may not necessarily be executed. , and they will only be deprived of their benefits or even killed by political opponents after the emperor compromises, so they are very worried about this.
But now the emperor said he would not back down, which naturally made them relieved.
Zhu Youxiao's statement increased the confidence of reformist officials.
Therefore, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately called all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue after returning to the Ministry of Revenue: "The reform of the salt policy cannot be delayed any longer. The restoration of the Kaizhong Law system before Xiaomiao must be implemented as soon as possible. In addition, the implementation of Finally, we need to be careful about the problem of rising salt prices caused by the salt merchants passing on the cost of transporting grains to the salt prices. We must raise it in the question book, and come up with the solutions from the Ministry of Revenue, and recommend that His Majesty set up a Salt Industry Bureau, and the Salt Industry The bureau is the government-run salt industry and is responsible for controlling the price and quality of salt. However, salt merchants are still allowed to privately operate the salt industry to avoid corruption in the government-run salt industry, which may lead to low salt prices but a decline in salt quality! Question Book After the red batch is issued, all the salt that has not been distributed this year will be distributed immediately according to the share of military supplies in each town over the years, and will no longer be sold directly to salt merchants!"
As soon as Bi Ziyan finished speaking, he heard an ambassador from the Ministry of Household Affairs running up to report: "Ding Guo Gong came to the ministry to ask for an audience with Da Si Nong!"
