"Your Highness, this is the memorial recently received by the Nanjing General Affairs Department."

"Huh? Why are there so many?"

Time came to the fifth day of February in 1608, the first ten-day meeting of the year in Nanjing.

Zhu Youdong set off from Nanjing and returned north on December 5 last year, accompanying Wanli in Beijing. Zhu Changluo and others did not return from Beijing until the 15th day of the New Year. Therefore, the Nanjing Liubu Xunhui on the 5th of February was the third day of Wanli.

First time in sixteen years.

During this period in Beijing, Wanli was very pleased to listen to Zhu Youdong's work report, and then encouraged him to do a good job. Of course, he was very grateful to the Honghe Village, Mubang Jade Mine, Fangshan and other industries that Zhu Youdong sent.

Wanli happily accepted the dividend of 1.8 million taels.

Not only that, Wanli also asked Zhu Youdong to hand over all the manuscripts of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

That was it. Although Zhu Youdong assured Wanli that the annual dividends would be no less than two million in the future. But when he heard that Wanli had turned a blind eye to the imperial edict that had been revealed to the world since the end of last year, and began to send tax supervisors across the country to collect

Regarding the mining tax, after discussing the tax, I was a little speechless.

But there is no other way. Let’s not talk about the mining tax. Let’s talk about the tax. The market is there and the change is not big. But when the eunuchs were in charge, there were still three to five million taels every year. The civil servants

I have only been in charge for less than a year, and it has plummeted to less than 30,000 taels...

Therefore, Zhu Youdong could only express his understanding of Wanli's behavior.

As for Ciqing Palace, his younger brother Zhu Youxiao is now two years old and can already be called elder brother. Zhu Changluo and the selected attendant Wang gave him a younger brother, and other selected attendants gave him a younger brother.

Two younger sisters - and this is just less than a year.

Mother Guo became even more resentful. When she was alone with Zhu Youdong, she repeatedly expressed her intention to go south to Nanjing and live with Zhu Youdong. But, you are the princess! Do you still want the dignity of the country?

The bags under his father's eyes got deeper. Wu Youxing, Zhang Jingyue and others who accompanied Zhu Youdong back to Beijing had serious expressions on their faces after they went to conduct physical examinations for everyone in Ciqing Palace. Everyone said to Zhu Youdong directly or implicitly: Your Highness, can you

I want to advise the prince that excessive indulgence is not good!

However, when he came back this time, Zhu Youdong clearly felt that Zhu Changluo's attitude towards him had become very strange and overly polite. When the father and son got along, they felt very uncomfortable with each other.

Think about it: the prince is in Nanjing, and it is the grandson who goes to Nanjing instead of the prince. This originally made Zhu Changluo get slapped in the face. And in the year that Zhu Youdong went to Nanjing, although he did not do anything earth-shattering, he

In any case, I am firmly on my feet.

Zhu Changluo is not a fool. He knows very well how difficult it is for Zhu Youdong to achieve this. But the more this happens, the more unbalanced he feels.

Well, I am actually jealous of my son. Hey, the Tian family is ruthless. This is also a manifestation.

In short, after spending more than twenty days in Beijing, Zhu Youdong hurriedly returned to Nanjing.

Then he was overwhelmed by countless memorials.

Looking at the smiling and silent Liu Bu Shangshu, the angry Wang Kun, and Liu Maoxun who kept laughing next to him, Zhu Youdong frowned and opened a memorial.

Oh? Impeach Zhang Yicheng for having bad moral character and openly engaging in prostitution?

The second one impeached Zhang Yicheng for accepting bribes from businessmen and using his position to give free advertising to the bribed businessmen in Jinling Daily.

The third book, the impeachment of Zhang Yicheng, sweeps the floor... The fourth book...

Zhu Youdong read one book and made two hoots. He read another book and hohoed again. He patiently read more than seventy magazines in total, and finally finished all the things in the pile.

"I just spent nearly two hours and read more than 70 memorials, all talking about the same thing. What? I have not had any other important things in the southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty for more than a month? In other words,

Is the matter that Zhang Yicheng is responsible for more important than all the military and state affairs of the Ming Dynasty?"

In the Ming Dynasty, because Lao Zhu Ding's rules were so good, the censor could speak out on the rumor, even if there was no real evidence, he could criticize him. The key is that he was not responsible for the criticism. This caused a big problem: an official was criticized by the censor.

Yes, you have to prove yourself that you are not wrong.

And anyone with normal thinking knows: If you want to prove something that he has it, it is relatively simple, just have an isolated case. But if you want to prove something that he doesn't have it? How to prove it?

Therefore, there is no way to argue with these bombshells, we can only change the topic.

"Your Highness, although Zhang Yicheng's official position is not high, he is the academic censor who is related to the future of the country. He is the teacher of all students in the ten mansions of Yingtian. His words and deeds are the target of imitation by students. If such a person's words and deeds are inappropriate,

Duan, whatever is destroyed is the future of the country."

"Hmm... It seems that Marquis Anyuan has read a lot of books over the years, and he can speak such great truths. Well, do your family members want to take part in the imperial examination in the future?"

"Your Highness!" The fat man Liu Maoxun listened to Zhu Youdong's metallic and cold language, and a bunch of sweat suddenly poured out of his forehead in the winter: "I just said it smoothly, I said it smoothly."

"Well, does anyone else have anything to say?"

"Your Highness..."

After gently reaching out a hand to stop Xu Honggang, the Minister of War, from speaking, Zhu Youdong said: "When I was in Beijing, I received news from the Jin Yiwei that there was a rebellion between Yunnan Wuding Prefecture and Qu Tusi Ake.

They captured Wuding, led the crowd to Kunming, burned people's houses, and threatened the governor of Yunnan to hand over the official seal of Wuding Prefecture. After receiving the news, I quickly returned south. As a result, after returning, you did not show me how the Yunnan incident was handled.

, but you brought a bunch of bullets? Xu Shangshu, is this how you defend Nanjing and advise on aircraft maintenance?"

"Your Highness." After hearing such heart-wrenching words, Xu Honggang could only stand up and apologize: "Your Highness, the matter in Yunnan has calmed down, and all that's left is to clean up the matter. It's not too urgent."

"Haha..." Zhu Youdong also stood up: "How to solve it? Tell me what? Why? Stop talking? Then I will tell you!"

In terms of history, in 1607, Ake, the chieftain of Wuding, Yunnan, rebelled. The local prefect was unable to suppress it, so he fled into the provincial capital of Kunming with the official seal of the prefect. Then Ake led his army to pursue Kunming, and the defenders of Kunming and the Duke of Guizhou

The guards of the government did not dare to go out of the city to fight! Mu Rui, the crown prince of the Duke of Guizhou, who performed the official duties of the Duke of Guizhou in place of his sick and bedridden father, actually ran away after seeing Ake's rebels from a distance on the city wall!

So thousands of soldiers from the Kunming Guards and thousands of soldiers from the Duke of Guizhou could only let Ake burn the houses outside Kunming and rob the people in the suburbs.

Ake let it out, saying that I was only against the prefect, not against the Ming Dynasty. So the officials in Yunnan just need to give me the prefect seal of Wujin Prefecture and appoint me as the prefect. So the officials at all levels in Kunming,

The gentry mobilized the people one after another and coerced the highest officials in the city at that time, the right deputy censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Chen Yongbin, the governor of Yunnan: Sir, give the seal to the rebels. After the rebels retreat, we will transfer

Soldiers go and kill them!

Then Chen Yongbin did this.

This rebellion was quickly put down after Chen Yongbin transferred troops from Yunnan shortly after Ake retreated. However, this kind of serious violation of political regulations and extremely damaging to the image of the government must be held accountable!

"This incident fully reflects the uselessness of the Yunnan Guardsmen! The incompetence of the Duke of Guizhou! Chen Yongbin's lack of courage! As soon as this example started, didn't the chieftains from all over the country follow the same example? Are they ready to intimidate local officials? This is the first example

Come on, will the chieftains from all over the country still trust the imperial court? In the future, if the imperial court wants to win the trust of the chieftains from all over the country, the difficulty will increase many times! For such a big matter, you did not submit it for discussion in the first ten-day meeting after returning to Nanjing. Instead, you were obsessed with a

The personal ethics of academic administration!”

"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Highness."

"I'm just a prince in Nanjing, so I can't punish you. However, the Nanjing Ministry of War is in charge of the military affairs of the southern provinces. If such a big thing happens in Yunnan, Nanjing is responsible. Well, Nanjing Jinyiwei and Nanjing Officials, the Ministry of War will immediately

Send men to Kunming to bring Chen Yongbin and Mu Ruisuo, the prince of the Duke of Guizhou, to Nanjing. At that time, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple will conduct a joint trial, with the Jinyi Guards observing."

"I will obey the order."

After the meeting ended and returned to Nanhua Palace, Tian Ergeng hurriedly walked in.

"Your Highness."

"Ergeng, it's all my fault. After I return to Nanjing, I should see you first and listen to you talk about the news in Nanjing in the past month or two before going to the meeting. It's just that the things in Yunnan really make me anxious, so I went first

A ten-day meeting was held."

After contacting Li Dan and Yan Siqi, Tian Ergeng stayed in Nanjing. At this time, he was already a member of the Nanjing Jinyiwei. Since there were no actual commanders of the Nanjing Jinyiwei in these years, there were also no senior officials of this type. Some

They were just some administrative officials. Therefore, Tian Ergeng, a member of the Qianhu family, was actually the chief of the Jinyi Guards in the south of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Youdong took the initiative to confess his mistake, Tian Ergen felt relieved: "Your Highness said something serious, and I have no intention of complaining. Your Highness, I just received the news a few days ago that Donglin Academy is also preparing to publish a report.
