Capital.

After Emperor Zhu Youxiao left the capital, Fang Congzhe sent the officials of Shuntian Prefecture, the inspector of the city censor and the officers of the Five City Military Command to his mansion, and he reminded him very seriously: "Don't think you can be lazy just because your Majesty left the capital. In order to prevent mistakes, you should be ten times more strict than before when catching thieves and rumors. Regardless of the severity, you must be arrested in prison first, especially those who spread various rumors, and you must not make any mistakes!"

"yes!"

The officials replied immediately.

Then, Fang Congzhe said to his son Fang Shihong: "At the Chongwen Temple, when the news about where Your Majesty has successfully arrived was immediately reproduced to stabilize people's hearts. Remember, we only report to where Your Majesty has successfully arrived. There is no need to mention other reforms such as clearing the land and suppressing rebellion. We must let people know that our emperor is safe, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"clear!"

Fang Shihong replied.

Then, Fang Shihong went to the cabinet again, and invited all the cabinet ministers and the nine ministers who stayed in Beijing, saying, "Donalds, although Your Majesty is not in the capital, we cannot relax. Besides, Your Majesty has explained before leaving the capital that all reforms must be implemented at a faster pace!"

As he said that, Fang Congzhe looked at Bi Ziyan, Feng Quan and others: "The Ministry of Revenue will step up to ask about the progress of Qingzhang land in Henan, Shandong and Huguang. If there is a rebellion in Zhejiang, you can not be busy. However, Qingzhang land in Henan, Shandong and Huguang cannot be dragged down. Although there are many vassal kings in these two places, this is not a reason to shirk. If the vassal kings obstruct, then you will first arrest the people in the royal palace. If something happens, just push them to the servant. At that time, the vassal kings really come to my mind to impeach you, and I will take the crime from Your Majesty again!"

"Please rest assured Yuan Fu, I will ask for a question in the next article soon."

Bi Ziyan replied.

"There is also the Ministry of Rites, which prohibits foot-keeping initiative. The Ministry of Rites ordered no urging them to be sent to the missionary initiative to keep the foot-keeping missionary initiative. Are there any ritual officials who follow the laws of heaven sent to various provinces? There is also the phenomenon of excessive slavery. Have you investigated the situation of governors and governors of various provinces? What is the result? I need to ask."

Fang Congzhe continued.

Sun Ruyou, Minister of Rites, replied: "I have already asked questions, and the appointed ritual officials of various provinces have taken office, and many problems of excessive slavery have been found."

Fang Congzhe nodded, and after explaining some reforms, he entered the palace and came to the Political Affairs Hall.

At this time, Liu Ruoyu happened to be in the Political Affairs Hall.

"Yuanfu!"

Liu Ruoyu greeted Fang Congzhe first and bowed to him.

Fang Congzhe also smiled slightly: "Eunuch Liu!"

Then, Fang Congzhe did not speak anymore, but began to pack up and respond.

Seeing that he was struggling to move the music book, his white old hands were still trembling, Liu Ruoyu walked over quickly and wanted to take the memorial with both hands: "Let's help you, where will Yuan Fu put these memorials?"

"useless."

Fang Congzhe took a step back and did not let Liu Ruoyu take over the heavy memorial in his hand, and then he still struggled to walk outside the Political Affairs Hall.

Liu Ruoyu was stunned for a moment and stood there.

After Fang Congzhe walked to the door, he increased his voice and said, "Eunuch Liu, I'm a little silly. What did you ask me just now?"

Liu Ruoyu said "ah", then turned around, thought for a while, and asked loudly, "We are asking you, where are you going to put the memorial?"

"oh!"

Fang Congzhe laughed and replied loudly: "I plan to put it back to the cabinet! Your Majesty is not in the capital. There is no need to come to the Political Affairs Hall every day, or go back to the cabinet. At that time, I will ask you to let the father-in-law in the Wenshu work hard as before. After all, this is different from when Your Majesty was there. There is no Your Majesty in this central place, and you will feel uneasy when you stay here."

Liu Ruoyu understood what Fang Congzhe meant.

According to the system, the cabinet and the literati always needed eunuchs in the clerk room to convey the message, while the cabinet ministers and the eunuchs of the literati were unable to communicate directly.

However, after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, in order to centralize power and improve decision-making efficiency, he called the eunuchs of the Silijian and several important cabinet ministers to the Political Affairs Hall. The on-site meeting was drafted and the on-site approval of the news. The media of the Documentary Room gradually lost its function.

Fang Congzhe now said that he would put the eunuchs in the cabinet back to let the Wenshu work hard as before, get the memorials drawn up from the cabinet and send them to the Silijian. It was obviously to avoid suspicion. He did not want to work in the same room with Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch who stayed in the capital when the emperor was not there.

Liu Ruoyu smiled and said, "What Yuan Fu said is that our family will still go back to Silijian as usual. At that time, let the people in the Wenshu run for more, and our family will be uneasy if they stay here alone!"

After Liu Ruoyu replied, he picked up the red pen and seal and walked towards the Silijian.

...

"Your Majesty cannot come back before the New Year. The inner court is the responsibility of Eunuch Liu, so we don't have to worry about it. However, there is no accident in our hands. Your Ministry of War will give the military supplies of the Nine-sides to the point where they are stuck. Don't give them enough at once. You have to wait for them to urge them several times before giving them, especially the money and food in Liaodong. If there is really anyone who wants to make a mistake, they can control them even if they want to make mistakes."

On this side, after Fang Congzhe returned to his residence, he continued to arrange corresponding matters for the Left Minister of the Ministry of War Zhang Jingshi, who was temporarily in charge of the Ministry of War, after Zhu Youxiao left Beijing.

After hearing this, Zhang Jingshi hurriedly said yes and said, "After all, Yuan Fu is a master!"

Fang Congzhe sighed, "I don't know what's going on in Nanjing now. Nanjing Xiaguan Li Changgeng was recommended by me. This person is familiar with military affairs. Yang Zhaoji, who is the admiral of Nanjing Jingzhang, is also a brave and resourceful person. I have long been worried that someone would jump over the wall after being forced to do something urgent, so I arranged these two people who can do this day. Now the inner city has not been lost. I hope these two people can defend the inner city and do not let the Nanjing nobles do embarrassing things. I am really worried that the Nanjing nobles would not dare to defend the city because Xiao Jingao raised an army!"

...

Inner city of Nanjing.

On Zhengyang Gate.

Gu Mingjiao, the garrison of Nanjing, seemed a little afraid of heights. He squatted down and avoided the battlements. He said to Li Changgeng, the Minister of War of Nanjing who was standing in front of him: "Sima, there are tens of thousands of rebels outside. Look, the whole city is full!"

At this time, Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing who was standing behind Li Changgeng, also said: "Sir, they have already handed over the letter of persuasion, saying that if we do not surrender, we will slaughter the people in the inner city!"

Zhu Guobi said, and said, "Now the outer city has been destroyed, and the inner city cannot be defended. Otherwise, if we do not welcome the surrender, it may harm the people in the inner city! So, why don't we surrender."

"That's right, it's better to surrender. At that time, we really have to meet each other. The people will die. The family of Yan Shilang and Sun Zhuangyuan are all like this!"

Tang Guozuo, the Marquis of Lingbi, also agreed with the Tao.

Just like in history when the Qing Dynasty went south, these Nanjing nobles lined up to surrender. At this time, these Nanjing nobles became scared because they saw some rebels outside burning, killing and looting undisciplinedly.

Li Changgeng really couldn't stand it anymore.

Because from the morning until now, these Nanjing nobles kept buzzing in his ears like mosquitoes, saying that surrendering would avoid disaster.
