Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 12 The Sacred Heart - Wang Yangming
Faced with Liu Jian's request from Xie Qian, Li Dongyang was extremely helpless. How to protect the luck of the literati, or how to protect the dominance of the civil official group?
Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, Confucius and Mencius were crazily suppressed by Zhu Houzhao, and those who were not convinced all went to Liaodong to farm. Xinxue headed by Wang Yangming strongly supported Zhu Houzhao.

The attack on Fusang, the destruction of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the reform of the Southwest to return to the Liuzhou, all of which were not presided over by Wang Yangming. Now that Zhu Houzhao has achieved great momentum, he will no longer be restrained by them!

Under such circumstances, unless there is another civil fort change, it is simply a dream for the civil official group to continue to dominate.

Zhu Houzhao is not Zhu Qizhen, and there is no country around Daming that can challenge Zhu Houzhao.

The civil official group is now like a grasshopper in Zhu Houzhao's hands, pinching it as he wants. The reason why he doesn't pinch it is just that he is too lazy to do it.

"Ugh"

Seeing that Li Dongyang was silent, Liu Jian and Xie Qian also knew what he was thinking, and knew the current situation better, but he was not reconciled to the efforts of the four dynasties of the civil official group to disappear like this!
Looking up at Zhu Houzhao on the dragon chair, Liu Jian secretly regretted that Emperor Hongzhi died too early, and only Zhu Houzhao was the only heir left. Under pressure, it is about to face disintegration.

In the minds of Liu Jian and Xie Qian, Zhu Houzhao was like the second Ming Taizu, treating literati with contempt, bloodthirsty tyranny, and militarism, he was really a tyrant.

In the land of Liaodong, I don’t know how many bones have been buried. There are scholars and foreigners. Under the freezing weather, unimaginable sins are hidden.

"This is the end of the matter, but let's see the destiny!"

Li Dongyang sighed. In fact, he did not object to Zhu Houzhao's plan to rectify the civil official group. After all, the civil official group has become more arrogant and domineering in recent years.

He just doesn't like Zhu Houzhao's being too ruthless and ruthless, and too relentless. Although the civil official group is harmful, it also has good talents and beautiful jade. It is really too much to beat them all to death.

"Liu Jian, Xie Qian"

Seeing Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang whispering, a trace of impatience flashed across Zhu Houzhao's face. These two old men were about to step into the coffin with half of their feet and kept going.

He wanted to kill these two old ministers left to him by Emperor Hongzhi many times, but considering the influence of the two, he only taught them a little lesson, but he didn't expect these two old men to be so ignorant .

"That's it."

Thinking about how long Liu Jian and Xie Qian had to live, Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to argue with the two of them anymore. What he has to do now is to quickly and completely eliminate the influence of the civil servant group and the Jiangnan gentry group, and completely control the Ming Empire. .

He has figured out part of the functions of the mysterious space, which happens to have the function of traversing, and he can't wait to start a new journey!

After retiring from the court, Zhu Houzhao returned to the leopard room, sat on the ground casually, hugged and teased his Persian cat, and gave Liu Jin some instructions by the way.

"Have someone go to the southwest and bring Wang Shouren back."

"In addition, Yang Tinghe is ordered to go to the southwest immediately to take over from Wang Shouren to preside over the reform of the land and return to the exiles."

"My lord, there is no Wang Shouren in the southwest, those chieftains are afraid that they will start a rebellion again!"

Liu Jin panicked a little and said that he didn't want Wang Shouren to come back, because the person Zhu Houzhao trusted the most was never him, but Wang Shouren who helped Zhu Houzhao do many great things.

Once Wang Shouren returns, it will pose a great threat to his status!
"Are you doing your job as Prince Mu's Mansion? Whoever dares to rebel will kill him and throw him to Liaodong. Zhang Yong wrote a letter a while ago saying that Liaodong still has a lot of wasteland waiting to be developed!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin coldly.

In this world, there are only two people Zhu Houzhao trusts the most, one is Queen Mother Zhang, but because of the Zhang brothers, the mother and son broke up, and now the relationship is extremely cold.

The other is Wang Yangming, the sage of heart. Zhu Houzhao has absolute trust in this capable and loyal minister. In his larger plan, Wang Yangming is an indispensable part. Who dares to make trouble with Wang Yangming? It is to slap him in the face, and the consequences of slapping him in the face are very serious.

Even if that person is Liu Jin who has been with him for many years, he can tolerate Liu Jin's corruption and bribery, but he can never tolerate Liu Jin's disobedience.

"Your servant speaks too much, please forgive me, my lord."

Liu Jin's heart trembled violently with the strong angry voice, and she hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Remember, it's not your turn to comment on what I'm going to do."

The cold words taught Liu Jin a painful lesson again.

"Remember, servant girl, servant girl deserves to die."

Liu Jin knew Zhu Houzhao very well. At this time, only by honestly admitting his mistakes can he save his life.

"How is the Queen Mother?"

Zhu Houzhao asked.

"My lord, Eunuch Gu has already found out that the entry of the illegitimate daughter of the Zhang family into the palace is entirely at the discretion of Madam Wang, and has nothing to do with the Queen Mother."

"The reason why the illegitimate daughter of the Zhang family went to the Queen Mother was because of the instructions of the old master of the Zhang family."

"The old master of the Zhang family promised that as long as the illegitimate daughter can persuade the queen mother to help bring back the criminal ministers, the Zhang brothers, she will be included in the Zhang family tree and enjoy the treatment of the Zhang family's direct daughter."

After speaking, Liu Jin unconsciously showed a hint of sternness on his face, and said: "The Zhang brothers committed a heinous crime. The emperor just exiled them to Liaodong, and did not hurt the Zhang family. It's better to look at it as a servant, the emperor."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck, the meaning was obvious, and he simply wiped out the Zhang family, since Zhu Houzhao didn't want to see the Zhang family anyway.

"what"

Zhu Houzhao was noncommittal, but asked another question: "How are the Zhang brothers?"

"Chen Wu and Zhang Yong are watching from Liaodong. Both of them are the emperor's confidantes, and their ability to handle affairs is absolutely swift. If there is no accident, the news of the Zhang brothers' sudden death in Liaodong is already on the way back!"

"The empress dowager is getting old, so she must be accompanied by someone. Madam Wang will not move for the time being, but her scope of action is limited, and she is not allowed to step out of the Kunning Palace. What kind of people have you met?"

"Ms. Zhang and her illegitimate daughter, what do you do? Since they don't want to give them face, you can't blame me!"

To Zhu Houzhao, the death of the Zhang brothers was like the death of two insignificant chickens. There was no change in the expression on their faces, and the indifference was terrifying.

"My lord, don't worry."

A trace of cruelty flashed in Liu Jin's eyes. He has done many shady things for Zhu Houzhao, and he is quite experienced in concocting a family that is not favored by the emperor like the Zhang family. He will definitely make the Zhang family want to die.
