Chapter 47: The government and the people are in panic, and the Ming Dynasty will usher in an era of
The next morning.
Jingwei, who had been guarding for a whole night, was still in a daze.
Even though Concubine Yan had brought Jingwei back to the Qianqing Palace.
Jingwei still hasn't recovered from the dreamlike scene of last night.
...
"how?"
Yan Lingji's enchanting figure appeared in front of Jingwei.
She looked at Jingwei with interest: "How does your majesty taste?"
"How does it taste?" Jingwei raised his head with some confusion in his eyes.
But she understood immediately, and said in a cold tone: "Why don't you try it yourself and know?"
taste?!
That was not a good feeling last night.
It was a kind of depression that was enough to make her collapse and terrified.
However, Yan Lingji's words made Jingwei completely understand why he encountered such a scene yesterday.
Because Your Majesty doesn't care at all!
Jingwei was already in the palace.
So what choice does she have?!
Zhu Houzhao also needed to be frank and speak directly when dealing with Concubine Yan.
But when dealing with the Jingwei, just ignore it.
He told Jingwei about his plan, and when he heard it, he knew what to do.
If Jingwei is stupid enough to continue working for Luowang.
Then there is only one outcome for Jingwei - a tragic death in the Forbidden City.
"The imperial family is the most ruthless!"
"Your Majesty's political tactics and mind games have reached the level of perfection."
"Or rather... in the face of absolute strength, my wisdom is just a joke."
Jingwei muttered to himself.
After she figured it all out, she knew what she should do.
Even in Jingwei's opinion, someone would come to her within three days and ask her to hand over the information about Luowang.
Your Majesty certainly did not intend to take action against Luowang when he said that last night.
But it is also necessary to closely monitor Luowang's every move.
This task would naturally be done by Jingwei, Luowang's top-level killer.
Yan Lingji looked at Jing Wei in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
Jingwei shook his head: "You don't understand."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.
If Jingwei guessed correctly, she could enter and leave the palace at ease today.
.....
The same is true.
Zhu Houzhao had no intention of saying anything to Jingwei at all.
With his current strength and background, he doesn't need to care about Jingwei's thoughts at all.
There isn’t even much to do.
Just a look, a hint!
With Jingwei's intelligence, he will know what to do.
What if Jingwei is really so stupid that he doesn’t know what to do.
What is a woman like this doing here?!
Zhu Houzhao already had two bodyguards from the Yin-Yang School serving him in bed, and he was not that obsessed with women.
As an emperor.
There is no such thing as a lack of women.
The Ming Dynasty's harem does not need someone with only a stunning beauty.
But there is no concubine with corresponding wisdom and skills!
...
Boom!
The court meeting bell rang again.
The Ming Dynasty's court meeting system has always been to hold court every three days.
Today is also the day to start the court meeting again.
When Zhu Houzhao was sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The attitudes of the civil and military officials below were even more respectful than the day before: "Long live His Majesty!"
Uniform posture.
A tone of awe.
There is also no indication that Zhu Houzhao is no longer the young emperor who had just ascended the throne.
Along with these few days, his methods and background have been revealed.
Zhu Houzhao's majesty had long been established, and even his majesty had surpassed that of the previous emperor.
...
The Grand Tutor Zhuge Zhengwo and the God of Capture Liu Dufeng were also among them.
They could also clearly feel the changes in these civil and military officials during today's court meeting.
That is the deterrence brought by the Western Factory!
It was also the deterrence of the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wushi heading south and Xu Yanbing commanding the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders!
"I am afraid that after today, the Ming Dynasty will truly usher in an era where the imperial power is supreme!"
Zhuge Zheng thought silently in my heart.
Yesterday, the Chief Minister Yang Heting, the Second Chief Minister Li Dongyang, the Minister of Justice Hu Shizong, and the Minister of the Supreme Court Tang Mu entered the palace together.
These people were originally trying to question Your Majesty, or even suppress Your Majesty's actions.
But after meeting His Majesty.
However, the attitudes of these people have undergone a shocking change.
The Prime Minister Yang Heting sent the document about the establishment of the Western Factory to the officials of the third rank and above in the Forbidden City overnight.
It also clearly defined the powers and responsibilities of the Western Factory - to execute first and report later! To monitor all officials!
This kind of power and responsibility directly led to what happened in the Forbidden City last night.
The residences of officials above the third rank were brightly lit.
If it weren't for the fact that the Western Factory was too powerful during the day, I'm afraid these people would ignore the curfew and discuss and communicate all night long.
Even so.
Last night, the Forbidden City was filled with servants carrying lanterns and walking hurriedly.
It's just that these people communicate and discuss without restraint.
How can we resist the threat brought by Your Majesty?
How can he resist the suppression by the bigwigs in the court headed by Prime Minister Yang Heting!
After Your Majesty and the Cabinet have reached a consensus.
All these officials can do is accept the facts.
Accept that from now on there will be a sharp blade hanging over their heads - Xichang!
Accept the fact that imperial power will be completely supreme from now on!
.....
During the court meeting.
Matters concerning the opening of the Western Factory.
It was successfully passed under the joint suppression of Prime Minister Yang Heting and Li Dongyang.
There were people in the court who wanted to stand up and refute and protest.
But when he met the cold eyes of the two big guys, Yang Heting and Li Dongyang.
They had no choice but to retreat.
On the contrary, all the second and third rank ministers remained silent.
The Grand Tutor Zhuge Zhengwo has also remained silent.
He already knew this would be the outcome.
The God of Capture Liu Dufeng only had a slightly ugly expression on his face.
I’m afraid that from now on the Six Gates will have to act according to the Western Factory’s wishes.
...
Against this background.
Zhu Houzhao promoted the county magistrate Wang Yangming directly to the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.
On the contrary, it did not cause much discussion or dissatisfaction among officials.
Everyone knows the situation in Nanjing.
This is simply not something they can manage.
Even if Your Majesty promoted Wang Yangming to the position of Vice Minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, a position of the second rank, so what?
Instead, the Western Factory was established today.
What they will do in the future is the real issue.
Even though he had been suppressed by Yang Heting and others.
But these people will not really accept that there will be such a sharp blade hanging over their heads in the future.
But the current situation leaves them with no room to exert their strength!
.....
soon.
With the end of the court meeting.
Civil and military officials also gradually retreated.
Zhu Houzhao also returned to Baohe Hall.
He did not care about the opinions of the civil and military officials in the court, but said calmly to Han Shengxuan: "Those civil officials arrested yesterday should be executed as soon as possible, those who should have their property confiscated should have their property confiscated, and those who should be exiled should be exiled, but no matter what... there must be sufficient evidence!"
"Things must be done openly and aboveboard!!"
"It is true that the Western Factory is a sharp blade in my hand, but it is definitely not the Western Factory that everyone fears!"
Although Zhu Houzhao was very confident in Han Shengxuan.
But he also had to establish the tone and style of the Western Factory in advance.
The Western Factory can act in a domineering and fierce manner, and can kill people decisively.
But it must not be the kind of Western Factory that frames loyal and good people and allows eunuchs to act recklessly!
Han Shengxuan nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Yu Huatian also nodded seriously. He was not a fool.
In the world of Dragon Gate Flying Daggers, he can act with impunity because the imperial power is too weak.
But in this world, Yu Huatian only dares to do things obediently.
"Ah."
Zhu Houzhao nodded calmly: "How is the Forbidden City under control?"
