Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 312 The Queen is about to give birth

Lin Cunde listened to Zeng Gui's words and still agreed very much. However, when he said that the power of the cabinet should be strengthened and the power of cabinet ministers should be dispersed, Lin Cunde disagreed!

Now the Qingliu has actually been formed, with disciples and old officials all over the world, and those people have followers. If the cabinet does this, it will definitely become the home of power struggles. By then, the cabinet will not be able to do anything, and there will definitely be internal fighting every day. , impeachment every day, no one cares about the matters in the court!

In fact, Lin Cunde had no choice in the face of such a situation. Corruption will occur when there is power. The only question is how to control corruption!

Zhu Yuanzhang killed people like this, and officials continued to be corrupted. Who can do anything?

The only thing that can be done is to hope that each generation of emperors will use corruption to collect land, allocate the land to the people for farming, and prohibit buying and selling. In this case, the Ming Dynasty can still live for a few more years. Lin Cunde has nothing to do with the rest!

Lin Cunde also hopes that investigating corruption and consolidating land can become the core education of the emperor!

Since corruption cannot be banned, let them be corrupt, investigate corruption, and seize land!

"Well, I have some insights. However, even if you want to be promoted, it will depend on what you do next!" Lin Cunde said to Zeng Gui.

Lin Cunde wanted to give Zeng Gui a chance to see if he could be reused!

"Sir, would you please clarify this?" Zeng Gui looked at Lin Cunde in surprise and asked, feeling a little surprised in his heart!

"Well, I can't say yet. You should do your own thing first! After all, you have said it yourself in these years, and you have made no achievements. I can't recommend it. You can work hard on the New Deal and see if you can Recommended, I can't give you any guarantee now. This time, all the officials in these two provinces need to be capable and honest officials!" Lin Cunde said to Zeng Gui, not giving Zeng Gui any guarantee yet, everything depends on himself.

"Yes, sir, don't worry, sir, I will go to Inspector Jiang tomorrow to discuss the New Deal issues!" Zeng Gui said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde nodded!

After chatting for a while, Zeng Gui left!

Lin Cunde also returned to his desk, looked at the officials' information, and went to rest very late!

In the following period, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces simultaneously investigated corruption and implemented the New Deal. The investigation was quickly completed in Ji'an. Lin Cunde selected a group of officials locally and went to Zhejiang to serve. He also selected a group of officials from Zhejiang and went to Jiangxi. Come and serve!

Many of Jiangxi's chief envoys, left and right participated in politics, and left and right consulted, were arrested!

Within a few days, Jiang Yaozu was appointed as the Right Chief Envoy of Jiangxi. The Left Chief Envoy is still vacant!

After the investigation in Ji'an is completed, Nanchang, Fuzhou, and Ganzhou are also investigating!

The New Deal can be fully implemented in these two provinces, and the people very much approve of the New Deal!

Therefore, when it was implemented, some big landowners opposed it, but their opposition was useless!

The local squires in Zhejiang originally wanted to take advantage of Lin Cunde's absence to make trouble. Wang Zhi had not yet conveyed the news to Lin Cunde, but Xiang Qing suppressed it and directly raided three landlords. All three landlords had people who were cheating outside. Officials, find out even those who are officials!

After such an investigation, those big landowners will not dare to cause trouble!

While Lin Cunde was guarding Jiangxi, the big landowners in Jiangxi were even more afraid to move. They also knew that Lin Cunde had brought 10,000 cavalry, and all of those cavalry had been on the battlefield! If you really offend Lin Cunde, the cavalry can even level their house!

Therefore, the anti-corruption and implementation of the New Deal in these two provinces are very fast!

A month later, Zhejiang completed the anti-corruption campaign and implemented the New Deal, and Lin Cunde also formulated some policy plans related to the New Deal. For example, manpower estimates need to be reported every year, and regulations are also made for the prices of different manpower! For example, an ordinary laborer's salary is 20 cents a day, a carpenter's salary is even higher, 45 cents a day, and a mason's salary is 35 cents a day. Lin Cunde sent people to investigate this amount!

And it is stipulated that all pricing will be changed every three years. Every three years, the court will issue new labor prices, and they are for each province!

After finishing in Zhejiang, Wang Zhi and the others rushed to Jiangxi. Now they have been in the south for two months, thinking that after finishing Jiangxi, they can return to Beijing.

But when they arrived in Jiangxi, they received an imperial edict from the court. Zhu Qiyu ordered Lin Cunde, Wang Zhi and others to go to Guangdong, and Fujian continued to fight corruption and implement the New Deal!

Wang Zhi and the officials all looked at Lin Cunde depressedly.

Lin Cunde also looked at them very depressed, and then said: "Okay now, I wrote to you, don't be so anxious, take your time, take your time, it's better for you, you have completed a province in two months Now, Your Majesty, it’s still too early to fight corruption and implement the New Deal, so let’s continue the anti-corruption here and implement the New Deal!”

"Sir, as you said, don't we just want to go back as soon as possible? We are also thinking that after returning to the capital, you will be in charge of the capital, and we will implement the administration in the capital, so that we can all get more money, right?" Chen Zeli sat there and said depressedly.

For more than a month, Chen Zeli and Xie Yonghe have been following Lin Cunde in fighting corruption and implementing the New Deal in Jiangxi, so they are very familiar with Lin Cunde.

"Hey, don't worry, I have already written to His Majesty. This time, we officials who come on errands will be paid according to the new policy, and we will make up for it at the end of the year. Don't worry about this!" Lin Cunde said to them.

"Ah!" Those people all looked at Lin Cunde in surprise.

"Sir, you should have told me earlier!" Xie Yonghe also looked at Lin Cunde helplessly and said.

"That's right, sir, you, you told us to do things more carefully!" Wang Zhi couldn't help but complain at this moment. They have been away from Beijing for more than two months!

It's normal to feel homesick, and they are tired of the anti-corruption campaign here. They have to face those corrupt officials every day, and they are helpless!

"Okay, let's go to Guangdong and Fujian. Jin Yiwei has also gone to investigate first. We just have to arrest people. Just try to complete it in two months. In two months, the New Year will be here. We can't celebrate the New Year here. ? Hurry up and do things quickly, first to Guangdong, then to Fujian, then from Fujian to Zhejiang, and then take a boat back to Beijing!" Lin Cunde said, touching his chin.

The officials below are helpless. What can they do now? The imperial edict has been issued. Besides, they actually know that when they return to Beijing this time, everyone except Wang Zhi will be promoted, and Wang Zhi will be fine. Wang Zhi has done a very good job in anti-corruption and implementing the New Deal in Zhejiang! Soon, those people went to rest, and Lin Cunde was also sitting in the waiter drinking tea. He had been worried about one thing in his heart, and that was the Queen Empress in the capital. After counting the days, it was time to give birth, that is, during this period of time. !

If he could give birth to a prince, it would be very beneficial to Zhu Qiyu, and it would be even more beneficial to himself!

If Zhu Qiyu only had one son, Zhu Jianji, it would be unreliable. The death rate of the royal family's children was not low. No matter what the cause of death was, it would be safer to have more sons!

In addition, Wang Meilin is the queen, and the queen gave birth to a dragon son, who is the natural prince!

Arrangements for the current prince to abolish the crown prince can be started immediately!

Now Zhu Qiyu has been suppressing Zhu Qi's calmness!

At this moment, in the palace, Zhu Qiyu was very nervous, and Wang Ying and his wife were also nervous. At this moment, Concubine Hang also came out of the cold palace. In addition, the Empress Dowager Wu was also there!

She was sitting outside Kunning Palace at the moment, twisting Buddhist beads in her hands and chanting something!

Wang Ying and Zhu Qiyu were sitting in the side room drinking tea. In fact, both of them had forgotten what tea tasted like.

At noon, Wang Meilin saw red, but had not activated it yet, so Zhu Qiyu asked Wang Ying and his wife to enter the palace, and just now, Wang Meilin activated it!

Wang Meilin is now pregnant with her third child, and once it starts, the birth will be very fast!

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu and Wang Ying sat there without speaking, both of them listening to what was going on outside!

Concubine Hang was sitting behind the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother asked her to sit here and not move!

Everything was handed over to Wang Ying's wife Qin.

Of course Concubine Hang knew what the Queen Mother meant, but now she did not dare to go against Wang Meilin, let alone speak ill of Wang Meilin publicly, even in front of Zhu Qiyu!

Now she also knows that Wang Meilin basically has the final say in the harem now. Her informants are everywhere in the harem. Wang Meilin will soon know every move she makes!

However, Wang Meilin is still good to me. Although I didn't deal with Wang Meilin before, so far, Wang Meilin has not done anything to me.

Therefore, even if you have ambitions, you cannot expose them. Once exposed, you will definitely die!

Moreover, Wang Meilin's father is already a Marquis, and Wang Meilin's sister-in-law is also a Marquis. The two of them are His Majesty's right-hand men. To expose one's ambitions at this moment is to seek death!

Therefore, she has been out for more than a month, and she comes every day to greet Wang Meilin and the Queen Mother. After greeting her, she stays in her palace to accompany her son.

She didn't participate in other matters, nor did she go to Queen Mother Sun's side, nor did she go to Queen Mother Qian's side, she just stayed in her own palace!

The Queen Mother has been sitting there praying, praying for Wang Meilin and praying for the unborn child!

At this moment, in the delivery room, Mrs. Qin was watching from outside and commanding the maids in the palace. These maids were all trusted by Wang Meilin, and some of them were brought in from Prince Tan's Mansion!

Therefore, the loyalty of those palace ladies is reliable!

Some of the palace maids were bought by Wang Ying when Wang Meilin was a child, and they grew up with Wang Meilin since he was a child!

Zhu Qiyu and Wang Ying have been drinking tea!

Both of them were silent!

"Wow~wow~" Suddenly, a loud cry came from the delivery room!

Zhu Qiyu and Wang Ying stood up almost at the same time.
