In the Forbidden City, Zhu Yijun did not attend court. The officials outside the Noon Gate dispersed, but these court officials did not complain.
Because they knew that although the little Emperor was young, he was still managing the Great Ming Empire conscientiously and did not slack off at all…
Where could one find such a sage king?
Moreover, the assassination attempt happened in the Forbidden City yesterday. The Emperor needs to rest!
Most of the officials had already left, leaving only Gao Gong, Gao Gaozheng, and Gao Yi behind.
A few messenger eunuchs walked up to Gao Gong and the other two."" Elders, His Majesty has asked you to go to the Imperial Garden to receive him…"
Gao Gong and the other two looked at each other and followed the eunuch into the Forbidden City…
They were going to pay a visit to the Emperor and show their concern for the Emperor's health. The three of them did not sleep the entire night and were filled with worry. They were really afraid that the little Emperor would be injured. If the Ming Empire lost such a wise Emperor, they did not know if there would be another Sage Emperor…
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were cabinet ministers, and Gao Yi was the Minister of Rites. The three of them were important officials of the imperial court. They were the three most powerful men under the Emperor. Other than these three, there was another person with power. Although he was also a man, he was not completely powerful.
That half-man was the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the East Chamber, Feng Bao.
……
After Zhu Yijun woke up, he had breakfast.
The sun was shining brightly. Zhu Yijun walked out of Yangxin Palace Hall and stepped on the sapphire stone arch bridge. He leaned over the railing of the stone bridge and looked at the large school of goldfish in the water.
These goldfish came in many colors. Pure gold goldfish, goldfish with red scales, goldfish with pure black scales…
The goldfish swam in a straight line.
Zhu Yijun didn't ask about the interrogation situation in the East Chamber because he had a lot of things to deal with. The East Chamber would definitely be able to find out the truth about the assassin.
Now, what the East Chamber needed to do was to find the black-clothed man who broke into the Forbidden City at night. The imperial guards of the Palace of Heavenly Purity confirmed that the black-clothed man was not Ye Gucheng. The black-clothed man who tried to assassinate the Emperor was someone else!
Just as Zhu Yijun was playing in the Imperial Garden, the eunuch had already led Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng in. These three were all important ministers left behind by the old Emperor. In the old Emperor's eyes, these three were the people who ruled the country. As long as one of them was in court, the country would not be in chaos.
……
"Your Majesty…"
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng quickly walked up to Zhu Yijun. They sized up the little emperor from head to toe. They were surprised to find that the little emperor's face was ruddy, his breathing was steady, and he was healthy…
"My three beloved ministers, what's with your expressions?”Zhu Yijun looked at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng and said…
"This old minister is glad! "Those villains didn't hurt His Majesty…" After Gao Gong finished speaking, his expression became serious."Your Majesty, I have ordered the East Chamber and the Ministry of Justice to carry out a large-scale arrest. Now, 3,400 criminals have been detained. These people have been locked up in the Ministry of Justice prison by me…"
Zhu Yijun's face showed some confusion as he asked,""What villain?"
" It's those self-proclaimed lone wolves, South Dominating Blade, Divine Blade General, and other evil people..." Gao Gong said.
Gao Gong had lived in the court for a long time and was not very clear about the organizations in the countryside. Therefore, he felt very strange about these strange titles...
Yesterday, when Zhu Yijun was sleeping, the entire Forbidden City was overturned. Someone broke into the Forbidden City to assassinate him. What was this?
That was an assassination attempt on the Emperor!
That was the assassination of the most powerful person in the world!
This matter was no less than the invasion of an enemy country. It was earth-shattering!
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would fall and blood would flow thousands of miles!
Last night.
Under Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's personal command.
The Ministry of Justice and the East Chamber cooperated and arrested many people. Many people were locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, shackled and awaiting trial…
In the East Chamber, Feng Bao tortured Ye Gucheng and interrogated him about who had ordered him to do so, who was behind it, and what other forces were involved…
……
Zhu Yijun did not interfere too much with the cabinet's orders.
The Ming Empire was a very large empire, and all kinds of forces were complicated. It was understandable that those Jianghu people cupped their fists in order to survive in this world.
After all, before Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he had been a monk, a beggar, and joined the Ming Cult…
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he was very afraid of the Ming Cult. In the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that no one was allowed to join the unorthodox sect.
Now that the cabinet had begun to vigorously rectify various civil organizations, Zhu Yijun was also willing to see it. He had already ordered the establishment of the Six Fan School, which was a yamen that specialized in managing the martial arts world.
……
After Gao Gong reported the arrest operation in the Forbidden City yesterday, he also reported to Zhu Yijun about the situation of Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, suppressing the bandits.
It had been more than three years since Yin Zhengmao had gone to Guangdong and Guangxi to suppress the bandits. In these three years, the bandits had gradually calmed down, and the Japanese pirates rarely invaded. Yin Zhengmao had written a letter to report to the court…
"Alright, I also have the intention of meeting Yin Zhengmao. When there is time, let him return to the capital. I have an important matter to tell him.”
"Yes, when I return to the inner court, I will summon Yin Zhengmao back.”
After Zhu Yijun said this, he told Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng about his intention to develop his business and his plan to modify the business tax...
Zhu Yijun wanted to hear what the cabinet had to say about his business reform.
After all, the current Ming Empire's business was in decline. The business that could originally generate a large amount of tax revenue was now less than one-tenth of the agricultural tax revenue…
Once the business developed, the national treasury would be filled with wealth!
At that time, be it training troops or purchasing new cannons, it would be more than enough.
In Zhu Yijun's opinion, the sea ban was a wrong policy. If the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense was strong and the navy was strong, why would they be afraid of bandits and Japanese pirates?
