When Yang Sichang was punished, many scholars and officials were also present. These people were very silent at this time, although many of them still felt very sympathetic to Yang Sichang's fate.

But now the Dongchang is full of ears and ears in the court and the country, and even the capital city has many more royal family members to supervise them, so no one dares to express his sympathy for Yang Sichang.

Now that the emperor was powerful enough, the literati and officials abide by the rules and dared not make noises and attack others at will.

However, this does not mean that the scholars and officials will become instrumentalists of the emperor, without their own thoughts and their own principles of being an official.

Therefore, in a safe enough environment, such as an open pavilion that is not easy to hide, or a boat on a lake, three or five civil servants will still send away the servants and maids around them and say some truth.

"It's really touching that Yang Wenwei ended up like this. After all, the mantis arm cannot stop the car!"

At this time, the young secretary Huang Shijun asked his colleague, the Assistant Censor Fang Kezhuang on a small boat in the house. Xie Sheng, the young minister of Taichang Temple, mentioned Yang Sichang.

Fang Kezhuang smiled disdainfully, "Yang Wen is weak and has a high reputation, but in fact, he is just a top-notch. A family who has been fed with wealth since childhood is not well-informed in the world. He doesn't know that it's not just a piece of talk about the world. He thought it's enough to just talk, but he actually thought of instigating the Japanese shogunate to oppose His Majesty overseas. But in fact, His Majesty had already responded, and had already collected a lot of silver coins for the coastal defense and security. The money for sending troops was already ready, just waiting to attack Edo!"

"Mr. Fang Gong is right. Yang Wen is weak after all, he is brave and lacks wisdom. However, he is also rich and frugal. Without going through the world, His Majesty can do whatever he wants and play with his ministers in his hands. Now it makes the Japanese slaves even more afraid of compensation. It is really surprising. Perhaps the emperor of our dynasty is really talented and extraordinary! And Yang Sichang is only worthy of being a traitor and becoming a traitor!"

As Xie Sheng said that, he looked helplessly at the water outside the cabin. Because there were no one beside him except two colleagues who were considered close friends, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really a heaven without eyes. Such a smart emperor ruled the world. All of us literati and officials had to be human with our tails squatted!"

Fang Kezhuang just smiled bitterly.

Huang Shijun only nodded. Although he dared not scold the emperor now, he had no motivation to praise the emperor, because as a middle-level civil servant in the court, he did not catch up with the opportunity to invest in the official industry, and he did not have the interests of the royal family. He also claimed to be a pure stream, so he was not willing to praise the emperor, especially in such unofficial occasions.

Moreover, Huang Shijun also rejected turning such a private gathering on board into a flattering party, so he changed the topic: "Although Yang Sichang was a traitor, he suddenly made the court pay an additional 30 million yuan in silver coins, and the silver in the treasury inventory hit a new high. However, even so, it seems that the court undoubtedly reduced taxes and taxes, and set up a Western factory for tax collection, but only issued a large-scale construction project. Now I heard that all provinces have to report on their plans to build official roads, and even the important roads of the two capitals must use the latest cement developed by the Academy of Sciences. It is reported that this cement is a new mud, which can quickly harden the roads. It is like knocking solid wood, but the cost is quite high. However, the court still spends a lot of money to use this road, that is, Japan has compensated the money, otherwise even if the treasury is a gold mountain, it will be exhausted."

Fang Kezhuang couldn't help but punch the table when he heard this: "It's a pity for power and traitors in Fang's thief! He didn't know how to advise His Majesty to reduce taxes and taxes. The national treasury is now greatly abundant. Now with the 30 million yuan in silver coins, it can completely eliminate the people of the world and make the people rich! Or the establishment of a Western Factory does not have to strictly urge the tax."

Although there are many factories and guards in the Tianqi Dynasty, as long as the ministers are not scolding the emperor, the factory guards are still too lazy to control each other, and Zhu Youxiao does not have so much energy to interfere. Therefore, Fang Congzhe will still be scolded by some ministers in the court as a treacherous person. However, he is only behind the scenes and dare not. After all, if he is scolding openly, Emperor Zhu Youxiao will still come to protect the dignity of the chief minister.

Therefore, Fang Kezhuang can now directly scold Fang Congzhe like this.

In fact, there are many officials in the government and the country now who want to overthrow Fang, for different reasons, but the purpose is to overthrow Fang Congzhe.

Just like during the Jiajing period in history, even though Yan Song had been in charge of the cabinet for more than 20 years and was favored by Jiajing, many civil officials still had the intention of being too strict.

The same is true for the current Apocalypse Dynasty.

"They wish they were like this!"

Xie Sheng continued, and said, "Then, take the opportunity to make money. Any project can make a lot of money. Although Your Majesty is wise, it is difficult for him to know the things below him. In any case, if this continues, wealth will only flow to the powerful and common people, and our gentry will no longer have the wealth of the past! In the future, those who are rich who can compete with the country will also be able to compete with the power and the country, and the politics of the former family will be reappeared!"

...

"You mean, there will be aristocratic families in the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Youxiao asked Yuan Keli, the Minister of War, to go to Beijing.

Because when Yuan Keli reported his duties to him, the emperor, he also mentioned that in addition to the large amount of wealth in the Ming Dynasty flowed into the hands of the people through factories and projects, it also flowed into the hands of the old ministers, the governors of the cabinet, the nobles, the vassals, etc. who invested in the official industry. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was just asking Yuan Keli now.

"I am not exaggerating, and I believe that with Your Majesty's wisdom, I must have expected this."

Yuan Keli pursed his lips and bowed his hands.

Zhu Youxiao stared at him with a serious face. He didn't expect that Yuan Keli had such great courage to propose this.

You should know that with Yuan Keli's current identity, he can completely abide by this phenomenon and naturally become the "family family" he called him. After all, Yuan Keli is a great clan of Guide and is highly regarded by the scholars. He has also made many military achievements after experiencing border affairs for a long time. He also has prestige among military generals. He also invested in Zhu Youxiao's official industry. His attempt to prevent the emergence of aristocratic families was equivalent to letting the emperor defend himself.

"It seems that I restored my reputation for Zhang Juzheng and others, and supported Xiong Tingbi and Bi Ziyan and other civil officials who dared to serve the country and the people had a result. In the end, it gave the Ming Dynasty scholars and officials to the beginning of Wanli. Even Yuan Keli began to break away from the limitations of the class and think about the long-term future of the country."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think.

But Zhu Youxiao did not make a statement directly, but nodded: "I understand, you can step down."

Yuan Keli was stunned for a moment in surprise.

He believed that His Majesty was an emperor who was determined to be innovative and had a great wisdom, so he had long made up his mind to risk his life to tell the emperor about the hidden worries he saw when he went to Beijing to report his duties.

But he didn't expect the emperor to be very calm, and there was no sign of excitement in Gu Jing Wubo's eyes.

"yes!"

Yuan Keli had to leave.

"What Yuan Aiqing said today is not allowed to be leaked. If there is any leak, kill you Wang Chengen first!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone after Yuan Keli left.

Wang Chengen was so scared that he crawled on the ground: "I don't dare!"

After leaving the palace, Yuan Keli received a letter that he had placed in his sedan chair in advance.

The letter was written to him by Hong Chengchou.

Because Yuan Keli was once considered the teacher of Hong Chengchou during the imperial examination, he was also considered his teacher.

So, the letter reads:
