Zhao Nanxing smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is fine!"

For Zhao Nanxing, he was indeed a little unwilling to see Zhu Youxiao okay.

Because he was like many scholars and officials who opposed Zhu Youxiao's new policy, he wished that the Ming Dynasty could change his emperor.

But he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor now has many supporters and he could not show any dissatisfaction.

Therefore, he could only pretend that he was concerned about the safety of the emperor.

However, because of this, Zhao Nanxing felt very uncomfortable at the moment.

For the supporters of the emperor such as Fang Congzhe, Wang Yingjiao, Bi Ziyan, Bi Maokang, etc., the emperor is fine, which makes them feel very grateful.

But because the assassination of the emperor actually happened, they were also very angry.

Especially when he returned home when he bid farewell to the coffin of Sun Ruyou, the left deputy chief censor Zhou Yongchun, who was Fang Congzhe's confidant, took the initiative to propose: "Everyone, such a major case of treason occurred at the foot of the emperor in the capital, and even the Eastern Barbarians appeared, so that Da Zongbo died of the line of duty. Should we let this matter go to nothing?!"

"Of course not! The Donglu people can get into the pass to become an assassin, which means that there must be officials in the border town colluding with the enemy, and spies in the pass to collude with him! This kind of thing must be investigated to find out the truth! The real murderer behind the scenes must be found. Although the case is investigated by the Dongchang, we must have our attitude and ask Your Majesty to let the Dongchang investigate this matter strictly so that Your Majesty can see our loyalty."

Qi Shijiao, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also agreed and said, "So, we should subdue the title of the palace to let Your Majesty know that most of our court officials are loyal and wish they could kill the nine clans who had just planned to murder Your Majesty! To boost your heart!"

"That's right, in order to boost your heart and let the new policy be implemented, we should put together a copy of the book!"

Dali Temple Chief Han Jun also agreed.

"Very good! It's rare for all my colleagues to have such a determination. I would like to go to the quit with you to let Your Majesty know our wishes!"

Fang Congzhe also came here at this time, worshiped Sun Ruyou's coffin for a while, and then started talking with a smile.

"Since Yuan Fu has this intention, Wang will go too!"

"Bi, too!"

For a time, civil officials from these new types of gentry groups that were related to the official industry decided to submit the book.

...

"Your Majesty, many officials knelt outside Zuo Shun's gate. They wanted to submit a letter to the court and said that they hope that Your Majesty can order a minister to strictly investigate the rebels who murdered the king and father! And if you don't tolerate one person, you will kill the nine clans!"

Not long after these civil servants who supported Zhu Youxiao fell into the palace, Wang Chengen hurriedly came to Zhu Youxiao to report.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and asked, "How many officials have come to Fuque and who are there?"

"When I go back to the emperor, most of them are here, even Yuanfu, the cabinet elders and the nine ministers are here!"

Wang Chengen replied hurriedly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Go, go and have a look."

When Zhu Youxiao came to Zuoshun Gate, he saw many civil servants kneeling at Zuoshun Gate, holding up the memorial and shouting loudly.

Zhu Youxiao's mouth gradually rose.

This time, the civil servants were not as angry as the civil servants of the Donglin Party, who were a few years ago.

Because this time, the civil servants put down the quotation and wrote a letter to express their loyalty to him, the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao was even a little moved because he had to admit that he, as an emperor, was still not fighting alone.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, there are indeed no eternal enemies or friends in this world, only eternal interests. Until now, he, a tyrant, has also supported him by a large group of civil servants.

"They are worried that I will retreat because of the murder this time and will no longer take them to continue to make profits in the world! Come and express my determination! Take all their memorials, register the list for me to read, and then tell them that the Dongchang will strictly investigate the envoys behind the scenes, let them go back to the yamen and do things with peace of mind. I already know their wishes. In addition, I will send them a verbal order to them. I will not retreat. I hope they will not retreat, because the more anxious the opponents are, the more worth the things we do will be!"

Zhu Youxiao then ordered.

"I obey the order!"

Wang Chengen replied in tears.

...

At this time, many civil servants were indeed kneeling outside Zuo Shun's door. They all held the memorial and shouted to ask His Majesty to issue an order to investigate the real murderer behind the murder of the king and father.

Because most of these civil servants who were kneeling were already profitable from the official industries created by Zhu Youxiao, they now need the emperor, so they hope to severely punish those who dare to murder the emperor.

Of course, the officials who came to the Fuque Book also came to the Fuque Book together due to the situation, but they did not want to Fuque Book in their hearts.

Zhao Nanxing had to kneel here at this time. Looking at a group of civil servants who were injected with chicken blood, he felt disgusted for a moment and said to himself: "I really hope that the tyrant can be stupid and kill these party members of Fang Congzhe, Wang Yingjiao, Bi Ziyan and others, just like the Donglin civil servants who dealt with me in the past!"

But at this time, an eunuch came out in the inner court, which only conveyed the imperial edict that Zhu Youxiao would never retreat and asked these civil servants to return to the yamen to do their best, and then collected all the memorials of these people.

Zhao Nanxing was quite disappointed with this and felt even more uncomfortable.

"Don't you retreat? Death really can't threaten him, a tyrant?! This is such a terrible emperor!"

Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Then, after looking at some loyal supporters around him who were the emperor and burst into tears after hearing the emperor's oral orders, Zhao Nanxing felt even more uncomfortable and said to himself again: "Most of the officials in Beijing are from Zhu Youxiao. What's the point of being this official!"

Fang Congzhe and Wang Yingjiao, civil servants who supported the reform, were indeed worried that the emperor would not dare to insist on reform because of the assassination and retreat.

After all, many emperors in history who were eager to reform gave up because of great resistance.

But these officials who have chosen to become reformists because of their interests and a little ideal have no way out. Unlike the emperor who compromised, they may still be mascots and used as etiquette symbols for legal exploitation of common people, and may not be executed. They will only be taken away after the emperor compromised and may even be killed by political enemies, so they are very worried about this.

But now the emperor said he would not retreat, which naturally made them feel relieved.

Zhu Youxiao's statement has increased the confidence of reformists.

After returning to the Ministry of Revenue, Bi Ziyan immediately called all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue: "The reform of the salt administration cannot be delayed anymore. The recovery of the Sino-French system in Xiaomiao must be implemented as soon as possible. In addition, after implementation, we need to be careful of the problem of salt merchants passing the cost of transporting grain to the salt price, which leads to the increase in salt prices. We must put it in the title book and come up with the solution of the Ministry of Revenue, and suggest that Your Majesty set up a Salt Bureau. The Salt Bureau is the official salt industry and is responsible for controlling the salt prices and the quality of the salt industry. However, salt merchants are still allowed to privately run the salt industry to avoid the low salt prices due to corruption in the official salt industry, but the quality of salt will decline! After the title book is issued, all the unissued salt entries this year will be distributed according to the share of the military supplies of each town in previous years, and will no longer be sold directly to the salt merchants!"

After Bi Ziyan Gang finished speaking, he heard an ambassador of the Ministry of Revenue coming to report: "Dingguo Public comes to the Ministry for the request of the Grand Secretary!"
