Yingtian City has reached its hottest time.
The heat wave is right in front of people's eyes, hitting them like a wave in the streets and alleys, making it impossible to even think about leaving the house.
It seems that this kind of weather is just to cooperate with the New Deal in full swing in the court.
Every day, the royal guards and cavalrymen, who bear the emperor's orders, run wildly inside and outside the city gate, and towards the end of the official road outside the city.
At the court, with the final determination of the members of Wenyuan Pavilion and the readjustment of officials from the six departments and other yamen, there were only a few Guanzheng Jinshi left to fill important official vacancies. The Ming Dynasty's central hub also continued to operate to the maximum extent after a brief shutdown.
And when the Wenyuan Pavilion issued a document regarding the temporary admission of candidates in Beijing to various ministries and yamen in order to stabilize the government's operation, and without delaying the implementation of the restriction on the candidates to expedite the first examination of public law to be planned this year, the entire Yingtian City Everyone gathered inside went crazy.
The court gave them money and food, and they were able to familiarize themselves with the internal operations of the court government in advance. There are also vague rumors that those who served the imperial court during this period will be considered for extra points when taking exams for various ministries and yamen in the future.
With so many other preferential treatment, starting from His Excellency Wenyuan, the threshold of the official office responsible for this matter was almost leveled by the surging incoming candidates.
When the emperor's decree stated that the Ming Dynasty's future public examination law could be decentralized to the judicial level, the civil servants at that time had already ignited endless ambitions.
Nowadays, how can anyone get the qualification to get the extra points first?
For a time, there was an extra scene in Yingtian City, where the world's elites went to serve you.
Things in the imperial court are full of difficulties, but there are solutions in the end.
Seeing that the center of the court gradually stabilized.
To the west of Yingtian City, on the Longwan Pier near the river, the Imperial City Army and Horses Division cleared the area early, followed by Shangzhi's personal military guards, and finally the Jin Yiwei surrounded the group of people and arrived at the Pier from the Xihua Gate. .
It's still early here, but it's just after dawn, the dew from last night is slightly cool, and the wind blowing across the river makes it feel like it's not yet midsummer.
The piers beside the pier are like arms, extending from the land into the river, embracing several large boats crossing the sea.
With its twelve masts, one can tell at a glance that this is the most advanced shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty.
There is a cool breeze, and the river water is mixed with dew, flying between the trestle and the pier.
Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his sleeves and hunched his shoulders, trying to make himself less exposed to the wind.
He moved his eyes away from Brother Hee and Brother Bing beside him, and looked at the Kong family who were being escorted from the river boat to the boat across the sea.
"The latest news from the Jin Yiwei, the people from the north and south sects of the Kong family and the three direct clans are all here. Outside the three clans, those people from the nine clans were robbed of everything. They boarded the ship from Shandong Road and sent them to the True Self Army. , thought to be used for mining gold and silver.”
Zhu Gaochi spoke very carefully, thinking about every word for a long time before speaking it out.
This had to allow him to be cautious. There were really too many Kong family members, and there were even more people related to the Kong family. The three clans are all basically blood relatives. Today, these Kong family members will be escorted from Longwan Wharf in Yingtian City to the Jiaozhi Road and the European countries according to the emperor's order.
Just these, there are already thousands of people.
And there are tens of thousands of people in the nine clans of the Kong family.
The imperial court really didn't have any more energy or ships at the moment, so it was all wasted on escorting prisoners. In the end, Wenyuan Pavilion discussed and reported to the palace, and only people from the nine tribes outside the three tribes were sent to the Japanese suppressing army to mine gold and silver deposits for the Ming Dynasty.
These people never want to set foot in the Central Plains again in this life.
Zhu Gaochi knew very well that his surname would never allow the Kong family to return.
That's tens of thousands of people.
Zhu Gaochi could only sigh in his heart. At the beginning of the country's new policy, innovative measures were launched one after another, which meant the fate of tens of thousands of people. In this era of great strife, they seemed extremely thin and insignificant.
Zhu Shangbing, who had already put on a Qianhu costume, snorted disapprovingly: "If it weren't for Brother Xi's compassion, he couldn't bear the blood to flow like a river. According to me, these tens of thousands of people would only be a matter of one knife." , and you can also see how many knives can be sharpened by the Kong family’s neck.”
Qin Shizi's words immediately caused the officials of the Three Laws Division present to shrink their necks in unison.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways and glanced at Zhu Shangbing blankly.
The latter immediately shrank his head like those officials from the Three Laws Division.
In fact, Brother Hee is becoming more and more dignified now, and Zhu Shangbing sometimes feels as if he is in front of an old man or an uncle of the prince.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were as calm as water, and he just looked at the trestle that was at the end of boarding the ship: "Be sure to ask the navy officers and soldiers to sail smoothly, and don't let the decree be compromised."
The navy general on the side immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the ships used this time are all big ships. Although there are many storms on the sea at this time of year, we will eventually seize the opportunity and lead the team to dock on the coast. There is no risk."
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered: "It's midsummer, and there are indeed many storms on the sea. You should take it easy."
】
The navy men took the order and saw that all the Kong family prisoners had boarded the ship, so they all asked to resign.
Under a burst of whimpering, and with a long and long horn sound, a fleet of more than a dozen large and small ships each sent a cable tied to the dock, raised its sails and sailed towards the channel in the center of the river.
Zhu Yunxi stopped and watched, waving his hands and saying, "Go over there to see Yuanhang. You and other officials from the Three Law Departments will return to the city to sort out government affairs."
The emperor's grandson wanted to enjoy the scenery, and no official in Yingtian City dared to refuse at this moment.
The officials left carefully, and Zhu Yunxi, accompanied by Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing, and guarded by Jinyi guards, headed to the high ground downstream of the shore.
Climbing to a high place, you can have an unobstructed view of the capital with a radius of dozens of miles.
"It is estimated that in less than two months, these people will be able to disembark at Zhancheng Road." Zhu Gaochi looked at the fleet going away against the sun and spoke softly.
Zhu Yunxi changed the subject and said, "Is it time to put your marriage on the agenda?"
Zhu Gaochi looked back sideways, with some hesitation in his eyes. After a long time, he whispered: "Over in Zhongdu, Grandpa nodded and told you to decide on the specifications and send them over from the palace."
Zhu Yunxi looked surprised: "Why did you leave this matter to me?"
Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "I didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, I felt that maybe grandpa asked you to show your generosity and kindness. Yun Wen got married. Although he is a commoner, he is still of royal blood anyway. You have one more point Grace, in today's government and the public, can also appear a little more humane, and it can also be regarded as soothing people."
Zhu Yunxi thought about it for a moment, and then nodded.
"After thinking about it, that's probably it."
Zhu Shangbing asked with some curiosity: "Then what specifications are you planning to arrange?"
"Since it is to show mercy, let's use the gift of the county king." Zhu Yunxi said firmly and continued: "But the officials and gentry are not allowed to give gifts, and everything is handled by Xinguo Gongfu."
The specifications are set to the highest level, and the restrictions are also set to the highest level.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was just a destitute member of the clan, but he was able to get married according to the regulations of the county king. This was undoubtedly an extremely heavy grace. The government of Yi Xinguo organized the ceremony so that this simple wedding would not become complicated.
Zhu Gaochi didn't know how to answer at the moment.
But I have to admit that Brother Xi is indeed magnanimous enough, especially after going through so many things.
At this time.
From the high ground, Tian Maizheng came up with a serious look on his face.
When Zhu Gaochi saw him coming, he subconsciously took two steps back.
Tian Mai's arrival did not seem to exceed Zhu Yunxi's expectations. When he saw Tian Mai approaching, he said softly: "Is everything done?"
These words immediately made Zhu Gaochi, who had just stepped back, raise his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Tian Mai who came from nowhere.
Tian Mai cupped his hands and nodded, and said in a low voice: "Report to Your Highness, everything is settled."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Yes."
"Recently, there have been storms on Fujian Road and Guangdong Road, making it difficult for ships to sail on the sea. My subordinates thought that the navy officers and soldiers escorting the Kong family could be replaced on Fujian Road, and then they could be made at sea outside Guangdong Road. Shipwreck.”
Create a shipwreck!
Zhu Gaochi, who was sizing him up quietly, could not help but tremble on his shoulders.
Originally, he thought that being sent to the Southern Expeditionary Army and Europe was the most severe punishment the court could impose besides beheading.
But now it seems.
It was obvious that Brother Xi was not prepared to really forgive the Kong family.
Zhu Gaochi suddenly wanted to take back the admiration Brother Xi had just felt from the bottom of his heart because of Zhu Yunwen's magnanimity.
For no reason, Zhu Gaochi shuddered again.
That's thousands of people.
There are also more than a dozen sea-going ships in the Ming Dynasty that were manufactured at a huge cost.
In Zhu Gaochi's mind, a scene of a turbulent ocean could not help but emerge.
Under the roaring sea surface, the cold water glowed with a deep blue color that seemed to swallow everything. One by one, the giant Ming ships sank below the surface of the sea. Thousands of black spots were struggling in the cold and biting water, which were strips of fresh life.
However, Brother Xi's voice was like the howling thunder and lightning on the raging sea, entering Zhu Gaochi's ears.
"Canton Road? It's too close. I think it's unlucky."
Zhu Yunxi was not satisfied with the secret guard's arrangement and frowned slightly.
Tian Mai seemed to have been pregnant for a long time, and immediately said: "Actually, my subordinates thought that there would be a big storm when the fleet passed Qiongzhou Prefecture and was about to approach the Champa Road."
Only then did Zhu Yunxi relax his brows, nodded and said: "Going past Qiongzhou Prefecture, the storm in the South China Sea is indeed dangerous."
Tian Mai continued: "The naval warship sank to the bottom of the sea. The naval officers and soldiers could only save themselves and could not rescue others. They would later join the Southern Expedition Army. I believe that if there is a real storm, it might be like this."
Two people were discussing the life and death of thousands of people right in front of them.
Zhu Gaochi only felt that he was drowning in the cold and biting sea water at this moment, and his body was getting chills.
"What do you think, Brother Chi?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile and asked in a kind tone.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes trembled, and the picture of the ocean disappeared in front of him. He coughed repeatedly and lowered his head involuntarily: "There is no selfishness in the Tian family, and everything is based on the affairs of the country and the country."
Zhu Yunxi showed a heavy look on his face: "My family and the imperial court still have to worry about face. Nowadays, the knowledge in the Central Plains far exceeds that of the South and Europe. No matter what, the Kong family can be regarded as a learned family in the Central Plains. What is in their minds cannot be Throw it out easily."
Come to think of it, this is the real reason.
The imperial court could not really kill all the Kong family members in the Central Plains. This would go against the inexplicable and deep-rooted thinking in people's minds for thousands of years. And Ming Dynasty could not let the knowledge that belonged to the Central Plains spread out and create a lot of potential troubles out of thin air.
Wanli Haijiang is ruthless, and it is also the best excuse and reason, enough to provide a reasonable excuse for the royal family.
As a royal family member, is he really ruthless?
With this problem in mind, Zhu Gaochi walked from Longwan Pier outside the West City to the palace, but he never figured it out.
Today is the final day to deal with the Kong family in Yanzhou Prefecture.
The three of them, Zhu Yunxi, had received the imperial order. After finishing their errands, they had to return to the palace to report to the old man.
The three of them followed suit. Zhu Yunxi was thinking about the current progress of the New Deal and was preparing to check for any gaps and addendums. Zhu Gaochi frowned, unable to find a balance between the lives of thousands of people and the New Deal.
On the contrary, Zhu Shangbing seemed the most carefree. As long as it was not about going into battle to kill the enemy, he was never willing to move his head.
The three of them entered Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Shangbing, who was looking around leisurely, suddenly let out a light sigh: "What bastard are you scolding, grandpa?"
Zhu Yunxi pulled away from his deep thoughts and raised his eyes to look at the old man's palace in front of him. He only heard bursts of scolding coming from inside, accompanied by wailing.
Zhu Shangbing frowned: "Should we go in or wait outside? I think we should go in and watch the excitement."
As he spoke, the man took steps towards the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other silently.
Zhu Gaochi snorted: "He is just a bastard, just wait and see his jokes."
Zhu Yunxi also smiled helplessly, without comment, and followed Xiaohan who had already entered the bedroom.
Wait until the three of them enter the bedroom.
Then Zhu Shangbing, who was walking at the front, shook his shoulders violently, and he shouted almost subconsciously: "Damn it, isn't this my father!"
It's a good thing he didn't shout. When he shouted, several people in the hall turned their heads and looked over.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips and glared at Zhu Shangbing who had just shouted. The prince Zhu Biao on the side had a troubled expression. He looked at the three children who had returned, and then at the second brother who was sitting on the ground, holding the old man's thigh tightly with his hands.
Zhu Ming just glanced sideways, looking at his incompetent son, and quickly turned his head away, and the original wailing stopped abruptly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was covered with black lines, he snorted coldly, bounced his legs, and said ruthlessly and coldly: "If you don't let go, I will throw you into Xuanwu Lake!"
