"Today, I invite you to the cabinet to discuss one thing. This matter is of great importance and must be considered thoroughly and not careless!"

In the cabinet's office, Fang Congzhe specially invited the six ministers of the Secretariat and the Censorate of the Censorate to the cabinet, saying that he wanted to discuss something.

These nine ministers and officials heard Fang Congzhe say so seriously at this time, and sat upright and said in unison: "Please make clear instructions from Yuan Fu."

"Recently, due to the implementation of the new policy, there have been many rebellions and incidents, and countless people have slaughtered the people and killed officials. Even the Holy Lord has had an accident on the canal, so that the old master Han Ge fell into the water. This made me think of the old incident of the Wu Temple falling into the water, and even the palace change that the Shi Temple encountered back then. Therefore, I believe that you must be careful of the murder of Your Majesty because of your dissatisfaction with the new policy!"

Fang Congzhe nodded and continued, and glanced at these people.

"Who dares to murder Your Majesty?! Let's not say that Your Majesty is the 95th master. There are many guards around you. Even if you are out on patrol, you will first clear the road and then set up barriers. The key is that after you murder Your Majesty, you will be killed by the Nine clans!"

Sun Ruyou said in surprise.

"It's not that there is no such possibility. Zhou Yanru and Miao Changqi, these traitors, had the intention of replacing the emperor with a disobedient spirit. Now Your Majesty has implemented the new policy to crack down on the powerful and powerful. There are many dissatisfied people. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one who goes to extremes. As the saying goes: Taking money is like killing parents. We ministers, we ministers must beware of this, so as to avoid such rebellion and make all the previous efforts of the new policy waste!"

At this time, Wang Yingjiao, the governor of the Western Factory and the right censor of the right capital, refuted Sun Ruyou's views.

Zhao Nanxing, who replaced Li Ruhua as Minister of Personnel, said: "This is also a dereliction of duty for our ministers, which has caused the king and father to fall into such a dangerous situation. The implementation of the new policy is to reform and eliminate evil, but it will also cause great dissatisfaction among the people who eat the benefits of the world. Since the first year of Tianqi, several rebellions have occurred, first in the Southwest She'an Rebellion, then in the Jiangnan Rebellion, and then in the Fu King Rebellion. If Your Majesty is really murdered, wouldn't it be the sin of us ministers?"

"Otatsukazu, you can't say that. As today, it's hard to return, and it's time to have to rectify it! It's impossible, because it will put the king and father in danger and not reform and eliminate the bad things, right?"

Bi Ziyan retorted.

"Grandmaster, may I ask, which is more important, Your Majesty or the country?"

Zhao Nanxing asked directly.

Bi Ziyan was speechless for a while and didn't know what to answer.

Zhao Nanxing raised his lips slightly, looked at Bi Ziyan, and then looked at Wang Yingjiao and Fang Congzhe, etc.: "They made suggestions for the refugee households in the capital, which were made by the Grand Corps at that time. The land and mu of clearance of the cemetery were advocated by Wang Gong, and the distribution of the cemetery and the consumption of the fire was proposed by Yuan Fu. Did the dukes really not consider the safety of your Majesty when they proposed these new policies to Your Majesty?!"

"What does it mean to have not considered it? Isn't Yuan Fu just asking us to discuss it now?"

Gu Bingqian, Minister of Justice, hurriedly replied.

"Is it still time now? Unless the new policy is abolished, your Majesty will find it difficult to escape from the dangerous place like this today!"

Zhao Nanxing replied.

"You can't say that. If the new policy is abolished, then we will lose not only Your Majesty, but the entire country! The Grand Secretary Governor was right just now. There are many malpractices in the world and it is time to reform. Otherwise, with the ruling ruling before Your Majesty ascended the throne, if you don't know what the bad thing is today, maybe the Ming Dynasty will really destroy the country within twenty or thirty years!"

Fang Congzhe replied with a smile.

"I don't agree with Yuan Fu's words. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. You have to simmer slowly. If the Ming Dynasty really comes, it will only last for twenty or thirty years of national destiny. If today there will be no such many gentry and powerful people who are dissatisfied with the new policy, they will only respond actively. After all, those who read the books of sages know the meaning of family and country!"

Zhao Nanxing replied.

"This is just your personal opinion of Otsukazu. If you think it is the new policy that has dragged down Your Majesty, you can make a statement in front of the emperor. I believe that today's policy must be implemented. But the facts have proved that this is indeed right! Otherwise, the treasury has never been as full as it is now, the refugees have never been as few as it is now, and the administration has never been as honest and effective as it is now!"

As Fang Congzhe said that, he slapped the table and glared at Zhao Nanxing: "Let me talk about what I want to discuss today, that is, how to prevent Your Majesty from being murdered. Please think about it carefully."

"I am still saying the same thing. If you can abolish the new policy, you can guarantee your Majesty's long-term future!"

Zhao Nanxing replied.

Fang Congzhe smiled and said, "That's not enough. He also needs to add the heads of Fang and many nobles in the court and the family business of many families! Yes, Otsukaku?"

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Yuan Fu misunderstood. Zhao had no intention of this. Zhao was just worried about the king and father!"

"From the following, if you want to murder Your Majesty, it is nothing more than poisoning, assassination, fire, and flooding. To kill, you should try to minimize the chance of traitors poisoning as much as possible. It is reported that Your Majesty himself has a precaution. After the food from Shangshenjian was sent into the palace, Your Majesty never tasted it. Because Shangshenjian was outside the palace, no one could keep poisoning on the road, so Your Majesty set up a private kitchen in the Qianqing Palace and asked Keshi to open a vegetable garden and raise chickens and ducks, etc., in the opinion of Sun Mou

, You might as well submit a memorial to set up an imperial kitchen in the palace, so that all those who enter the palace should be controlled more strictly. During the cooking period, you should first watch his whole family and give him gold and silver. If there is any problem, kill his whole family. In addition, the dishes used by Your Majesty should be added to one hundred and eight kinds, all of which are made by different chefs. In this way, the possibility of poisonous dishes that Your Majesty encounters will be smaller. Now that the imperial court is full of treasury, it is nothing to add one hundred and eight kinds of dishes to Your Majesty."

Sun Ru lobbies.

Fang Congzhe pointed out: "This is a good idea. When Your Majesty returns to Beijing, he will submit a memorial to set up an imperial kitchen in the palace. The chef and the purchasing agent must be those with innocent personalities in the capital. The East Factory will stare at it, and we must also stare at it. In addition, at that time, we will add a special palace maid who tests vegetables. Some medicines are not poisons, but let the emperor indulge in spring. It is impossible to taste it. In history, there are emperors who indulge in beauty and sex, but it is not ruled out that they are related to others' medicine. After all, those who have ulterior motives hope that the emperor will be a lustful and foolish monarch."

"Assassination is the most difficult. Your Majesty is surrounded by the most reliable Yulin Guards and Jinyiwei, but you need to prevent the assassination of the palace maids around Your Majesty. It is said that the palace maids around Your Majesty are all people with reliable family backgrounds in the capital. They have been carefully investigated by the East Factory, but it is difficult to guarantee that there are spies in the East Factory or that the East Factory is negligent. Therefore, the origins and origins of the Dongchang Banner School personnel of the Ministry of Personnel and the origins of the palace maids selected by the Ministry of Revenue and other palaces should be investigated secretly and should not be neglected."

Wang Yingjiao said at this time.

Fang Congzhe pointed: "Where is the fire burning or the water flooding?"

"You have to ensure that the palace maids and officials around Your Majesty are innocent, otherwise no one can burn your Majesty or flood your Majesty!"

Bi Ziyan replied.

Fang Congzhe nodded again and asked again: "But there are other ways, if there is really a traitor who wants to kill the monarch?"

The Zuodu Censor Cui Jingrong stood up at this time: "Cui has served in the border town, so he knows that there is another possibility, that is, to borrow the enemy into the pass!"

"Borrow the enemy into the pass?"

Fang Congzhe pondered and said, "Fortunately, Your Majesty has already planned first and asked Qin Liangyu to lead heavy troops to guard Ji Liao, otherwise this would be possible!"

...

"The Holy Lord has passed Tongzhou! Your Majesty has ordered you to go to Huangcun to welcome the Lord!"

At this time, a message ordered the Jinyiwei to gallop into the Forbidden City. After coming to the cabinet, he hurriedly dismounted and ran into the cabinet with the imperial edict.

After hearing this, Fang Congzhe stood up excitedly and smiled and said, "Your Majesty is finally going back to Beijing! There are finally no dangers along the way!"

Wang Yingjiao, Bi Ziyan and others also laughed.

Fang Congzhe continued: "Next, we must let Shuntian Prefecture and the Censor of the City clear the road in advance. There must be no one on both sides of the imperial road in the city and outside the city to Huangcun within 200 steps! All places where people can be hidden along the road are removed! Strictly check which households have not returned home! Outsiders who do not have household tickets should be detained first!"

"Very good!"

The nine ministers immediately agreed.

When Zhu Youxiao's lord arrived in Huangcun, the entire Imperial Road to Beijing was indeed covered with soldiers, and there was no trunk or stone that could be hidden, and there were no people. The people were ordered to stay at home and not to go out. Fang Congzhe directly put martial law on the entire capital.

Therefore, at this time, only Fang Congzhe and other ministers welcomed the emperor here in Huangcun.

"I, Fang Congzhe, welcomes the priest!"

But when Fang Congzhe saw the priest's carriage getting closer and hurriedly brought all officials to the ceremony, several cannons suddenly came.

The emperor's dragon chariot was blown away by several shells that suddenly flew out and then fell into a pile of broken wood.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing this, Fang Congzhe immediately shouted.
Chapter completed!
