Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 254 Let Yan Yingyuan Be the Governor
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath. At this time, there was no hustle and bustle at the Da Ming Daily resident.

Even the blood-stained streets were cleaned up by the Nanjing Ministry of Industry in advance with lime, and the wet bluestone slabs were covered in white lime powder stains except for the unique charm of Jiangnan cities. A little bit of red remains.

It seems that this city has always been so quiet and gentle, and no brutal massacres and genocides have occurred.

"Has everyone been caught?" Zhu Youxiao asked, and then took a step forward. It was here that day that he was hit by a thrown brick.

Fortunately, it wasn't a grenade that was thrown, Zhu Youxiao secretly rejoiced.

Wu Jin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, they have all been arrested. There are 130 gentry and students from all over the country, and 170 or [-] children. None of the scholars who participated in this parade escaped successfully."

"In addition, 43 officials at all levels in the Jiangnan area were arrested, and 0 officials at all levels have been arrested. Like the above-mentioned scholars, they are now temporarily detained in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Nanjing. Your Majesty will judge!"

After hearing what Wu Jin said, Zhu Youxiao just nodded, and asked Liu Kongzhao: "How is the law and order in Jinling City now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after the arrest of more than 300 lawbreakers and the shooting of more than [-] people, the law and order in Jinling City has basically been restored. Now shops at all levels have begun to reopen, and one after another, people in the city have begun to walk on the streets again. , farmers in the suburbs have also begun to go to the city to sell vegetables.”

Liu Kongzhao's answer made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied, but Zhu Youxiao couldn't help reminding: "You can't relax in the slightest. Jinling is the most important place in the south of the Yangtze River. If Jinling is unstable, Jiangnan will be unstable, and if Jiangnan is unstable, the world will be unstable. Understand In addition, the security of other prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River is also under your control temporarily, and anyone who dares to take the opportunity to make trouble will be severely punished!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered that after he issued the arrest order, he was afraid that the entire Jiangnan administrative system would be completely paralyzed, so he turned around and told Li Mingrui who also came to him at this time:
"The cabinet drafted the will, and you and Wang Cheng'en are in charge at the same time. Immediately, Jian Ba ​​patiently persuaded the people or officials with a good official reputation during the parade, no matter whether he was a Jinshi or Juren, or a tribute, or even promoted by an official. Promoting his official position according to the situation should not paralyze the civil affairs."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Li Mingrui had no choice but to follow the order, but he couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, the position of Governor Yingtian is very important. Now that Wang Wenkui has been detained, this position cannot be left alone."

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a while, and frankly speaking, it was really difficult for him to appoint officials. There were too many officials in the Ming Dynasty, and he really couldn't figure out who was suitable to be the governor of Yingtian.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help looking at Wei Zhongxian: "You have been in Jiangnan for so long, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, the officials of Nanzhili hate my ministers deeply, and I have little contact with them. Except for a few ministers in the front, I really don't know how there is such a capable minister. A cadre can be the governor of Yingtian."

"I have someone to choose." Zhu Youxiao also had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he said it immediately, and then asked Wu Jin: "How did you find out the whereabouts of this person Yan Yingyuan?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this person is now working as a household secretary office in Jiaxing, and he has arrived here by His Majesty's order," Wu Jin replied.

Long before this, Zhu Youxiao asked the National People's Congress of Dongchang to search the world, looking for people named Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Jiao Lian, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong, Xia Wanchun, etc. All the boys from poor families were brought to Beijing for secret training.

This is the most peculiar task for Dongchang, because according to Zhu Youxiao's intention, looking for these people is not because they have committed heinous crimes and they need to be arrested, but to know their whereabouts. And simplify it at any time.

For these, Wu Jin didn't know why His Majesty did this, why he would pay attention to these unknown people for no reason at this time, but the only thing he could do was to strictly implement His Majesty's will.

However, through the investigation results of Dongchang, Wu Jin found that almost all of these people are upright, not pedantic and talented.

"Let him be the governor of Yingtian. Jiangnan, with outstanding people, really can't find any useful officials." Zhu Youxiao said this, but Li Mingrui also quickly questioned: "Your Majesty, let a secretary To be the governor of a province, I am afraid that the scholars in the world will not accept it!"

"Hmph, do I still have to look at their faces to eat now? At this time, I have made up my mind and no further discussion is allowed. I will let Yan Yingyuan temporarily act as the governor of Yingtian. If he is not good within three months, he will be dismissed at that time." He is not too late!"

Now that Zhu Youxiao said this, Li Mingrui couldn't say anything more, so he had to tactfully persuade the right chief envoy to act as the governor temporarily, and then transfer Yan Yingyuan to be the county magistrate within ten days, then become the magistrate within half a month, and be promoted within one month. According to the inspector, he will be the governor within two months.

Judging from the current situation, Zhu Youxiao will not leave Jinling City within three months. The civil affairs of Jinling City can still be temporarily prime minister by him Li Mingrui.

Zhu Youxiao finally agreed with Li Mingrui's opinion. This is what Zhu Youxiao admired Li Mingrui the most. He was able to meet the unreasonable demands of His Majesty while following the election system. This is what a cabinet scholar should do best. have the ability.

This time, in order to crack down on these Jiangnan literati and clear away the obstacles that hinder the development of state capital in Jiangnan, Zhu Youxiao tricked Li Mingrui, making him scolded as a treacherous minister by all the scholars and people in Jiangnan.

And Zhu Youxiao naturally wanted to reciprocate, and soon issued a decree to praise Li Mingrui for his hard work and dedication to his duties during the southern tour, and awarded him the title of prince, grand master and young master, bestowed python clothes, and enjoyed the imperial weaving. One-thousandth of the cadres in the Bureau will be directly changed to the title of Grand Bachelor of Zhongji Temple, and at the same time as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

In this way, not only was Li Mingrui not dismissed for blaming Zhu Youxiao, but he became a civil servant who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the chief assistant Qian Qianyi.

As soon as this news was released by Daming Daily, it immediately caused an uproar in public opinion. The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River and the officials who concealed their selfishness had to admit that they really lost.

Today, His Majesty will not throw away the car to protect the handsome just because you brought out Dong Qichang. He is directly and blatantly protecting the officials of the royalist party.

Except for Li Ge who continued to be promoted because he was blamed, and Yan Yingyuan, an unknown official, who was arranged for a rocket-style promotion process for no reason, other officials were also promoted one after another.

The promoted literati would naturally not sing against Zhu Youxiao. After all, their promotion was due to His Majesty's large-scale suppression. They still had to serve Zhu Youxiao and sing praises for Zhu Youxiao.
