"Where's Mr. Chen?"
But after Zhu Cikai finished yelling, he discovered that his adviser Chen Wei was missing!
"Back to Your Highness, Mr. Chen said that he had something to do at home, so he took a boat south and took all his luggage with him!"
Zhu Cikai's housekeeper replied.
"Why did you go back so suddenly?! Didn't you hear anything happened at home?"
Zhu Cikai felt quite strange and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, sir, he left in a hurry."
The housekeeper of the nursing home replied.
Zhu Cikai continued: "Don't worry about him yet! You immediately send someone to invite the Imperial Censor Gong and Xu Censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Lei Langzhong from the Ministry of Industry, and Guo Xueshi from Chongwen Temple."
"yes!"
Not long after, the housekeeper of the nursing home came to Zhu Cikai and reported: "After some blood was returned, Gong Yushi and Xu Yushi both said that they were ill and said it was inconvenient to disturb them! But Lei Langzhong said that there were a lot of documents recently and he had no time to come. , Academician Guo also said that he has not written a few manuscripts, and he really doesn’t have time.”
The officials in the capital naturally have their own eyes and ears.
We also know from recent cases that someone is keeping an eye on the officials around the Seventh Prince. Whoever gets close to the Seventh Prince will be in bad luck.
Therefore, these courtiers learned their lesson and took the initiative to stop associating with Zhu Cikai.
Even Chen Wei returned home decisively.
"They're all starting to avoid me!"
Zhu Cikai also felt strange.
Thinking that the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War had just changed their ministers, and were starting to rectify it because of Wen Yuren's report, and could not intervene, Zhu Cixi, the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, took the initiative to come to the academic department the next day, and checked on behalf of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The department will take the initiative to make friends with the officials of the department on the basis of how many high school graduates there will be this year.
"Shilang Zhou, I have heard for a long time that you are the best at flowers and birds. I wonder if you can paint one for me when you have time. I will thank you in large sums of money."
Zhu Cikai first struck up a conversation with Zhou Xian, the left minister of the academic department.
Zhou Shilang avoided Zhu Cikai like a tiger, and hurriedly declined: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I can't draw, and I can't draw well. I'm busy, so I'll excuse you!"
With that said, Zhou Shilang hurriedly left the academic office and ordered: "Go to the Ming Dynasty Industrial School!"
Seeing this, Zhu Cikai froze on the spot and was quite angry.
But he didn't want to get angry in the government office. When he saw Qu Shichu, the Minister of Academic Affairs, returning to the ministry, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Qu Gong, you're fine!"
When Qu Shiqi saw it was Zhu Cikai, he picked up his crutches and ran out the door: "Prepare the sedan! Go to the Capital Normal School!"
Zhu Cikai had to stop and snorted: "Damn it! I am also a prince after all, and I take the initiative to curry favor with you, but you are so disrespectful!"
Zhu Cikai had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing. He saw a young official walking towards the Social Studies Department of the academic department: "Please stay!"
The young official hurriedly ran away from Zhu Cikai.
"Hey! Why don't you, a petty official like you, ignore me?"
Zhu Cikai couldn't help shouting.
Then, Zhu Youxiao stopped an official from the first school department and said, "Talk to me."
"I don't dare!"
The official also ran away from Zhu Cikai.
"Why are you ignoring me!"
"Say something to His Highness!"
…
But now no one really dares to talk to Zhu Cikai. They are all afraid that evidence of guilt will be found after contacting Zhu Cikai.
Gradually, none of the ministers around Zhu Cikai came into contact with Zhu Cikai. Even if they did, it was only on official business, and they met in government offices.
Zhu Cikai was quite depressed.
"I haven't even ascended to the throne yet, and I've become a loner! It's all because of his Wen Yuren!"
Zhu Cikai therefore complained to his wives and concubines.
…
"Back to Your Majesty, not many officials are willing to make friends with His Highness Seventh. Even those who had a good relationship with His Highness before have stayed away from him."
Han Zanzhou reported to Zhu You.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but raise his lips slightly: "That's right! This is what I want to see."
Then, Zhu Youxiao told Han Zanzhou again: "It seems that after a while, he will have to be transferred out of the capital and let him go to the local government to harm a group of officials for me. This can be regarded as fighting fire with fire! But after transferring him Before leaving the capital, your Dongchang must take the opportunity to send some spies to contact him and serve as aides beside him, so that in the future you can more clearly control every move of my seventh prince!"
"According to the order!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao asked: "The decree to separate and relocate the rich families has been re-established. How are the Jiangnan governor Tang Aiming and the emperor's eldest son, the temporary governor and also the patrol censor, doing in the relocation of the clans in Jiangnan? Dongchang can investigate Have you come out yet?"
"The emperor's eldest son has arrested many state and county officials and killed many of them, so that the states and counties in Jiangnan dare not be careless. Now the big families in Yingtian, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou have all been relocated. Now the emperor's eldest son has personally With the supervision from all counties in Suzhou, there will definitely be no mistakes."
Han Zanzhou replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "When this domestic matter is done well, we must continue to expand externally. Now I restrict land transactions and impose a luxury tax to curb illegal private fund-raising, which will make domestic powerful officials The gentry are deeply dissatisfied. If we don't make some profits from external expansion, I'm afraid they will become more and more dissatisfied. You can tell the ministers to discuss how to expand the Ming Dynasty in the future."
…
"Get on the boat quickly! Don't delay!"
"Ugh! How could the imperial court do this? They must forcefully separate our flesh and blood!"
"No, we don't want to go to India!"
"Bon Voyage!"
"Remember to write when you arrive!"
…
At this time, the Yangtze River was covered with many naval warships.
These warships gathered here at this time, not for fighting, but to complete the immigration plan of the Jiangnan clan.
And because of this, along the river bank at this time, many people of the same clan were crying because they had been moved away, and some were saying goodbye to their own clansmen because they had not been moved away.
The willow trees along the coast were also broken so much that they looked like they had full bangs.
Wu Daodeng, a great Jin gentry from a wealthy family in Suzhou, was also about to be moved away. He stood on the deck and shouted in a low voice with tears in his eyes: "God! Why do you favor such a tyrant so much! You actually forcibly divided my Wu people's flesh and blood." ! And moved thousands of miles away from the sea!"
"Wu Gong, be careful! The sky doesn't care about this. The so-called natural law is that the weak can be controlled by the strong at will! Perhaps, in the eyes of the sky, we are just ants. As for how the emperor wants to treat us, he doesn't care! "
Liu Yunde, a wealthy Yingtian family member who was also relocated, couldn't help but comfort Wu Daodeng.
"Is there no benevolence in the world?"
Wu Daodeng asked rather unwillingly, and then looked at Suzhou City getting farther and farther away from him, and sighed: "My Yanliu prosperous place!"
Then, Wu Daodeng said bitterly: "In this life, I will use the notebook in my hand to record this harsh regime, so that future generations will know the darkness of the Apocalypse Dynasty!"
…
"Come on! Don't waste your time! I'm not taking away your land or killing you. I'm just exchanging Indian fields for your Jiangnan fields so that you can go to India! Why are you crying like this!"
"Every one of you seems to have lost your parents. Only when you get to that place will you know how good the court is to you. Brahmins, Kshatriyas, the so-called noble people in the local area, are not as valuable as your dogs!"
At this time, the officers and soldiers of patrol stations in various places who were responsible for escorting these large families to be relocated to India had little empathy, but impatiently urged these large families to be relocated to India.
