Good news: Zhu Lian transmigrated, becoming Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming, Zhu Youjian.
Bad news: Today is the tenth day of the third month of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, and Li Z...
"The only person who committed the crime of disrespect is Li Zushu. Your Highness, please issue an edict to make it clear that his family is innocent, so as to avoid being implicated in the future!"
Shi Kefa did this in order to stabilize the nobles in Nanjing, so as to prevent them from having distracting thoughts and causing unrest in the court.
This trick really worked.
The nobles present immediately calmed down a little.
They no longer begged for mercy and to spare Li Zushu's life, but instead settled for the next best option and asked Zhu Cilang to approve Shi Kefa's suggestion.
"What Minister Shi said is absolutely right. Please grant me your approval, Your Highness."
"I second the motion!"
Zhu Cilang glanced at Shi Kefa, then quickly swept his gaze over the faces of the others: "Let's draft an order according to Minister Shi's opinion!"
"We obey your order!" All the civil and military officials in the court bowed their heads and accepted the order.
After everyone stood up, Zhu Cilang remembered the court's appointment of officials to implement currency reform.
He said to everyone: "Currency reform is a national policy. In order to implement the national policy, the court appointed Chen Mingxia as the governor of Nanzhili and Feng Quan as the governor of Zhejiang! In addition, officials from other places have also been transferred and appointed!"
"No matter whether you have any grudges against these people, you must put aside your past grudges and work together to promote currency reform!"
"We obey your order!" The officials in the Nanjing court saluted at the same time in response.
Zhu Cilang nodded, bent down and sat back in his chair to continue the meeting.
After everyone discussed the important affairs of the country for a while, the court meeting ended amid the discussion.
Zhu Cilang turned around and went back to the palace to rest.
The ministers left the Nanjing Imperial City and returned to their respective offices to work.
Before the city gates closed in the evening, a man and a horse rushed into the city from outside.
After entering the city, he went straight to the Qinhuai River.
Passing through the streets and alleys, the man and the horse arrived at the destination.
There are many shops along the river bank, and the aroma of food and wine fills the air.
The horseman rode to the back door of a restaurant, where two people were standing.
After verifying their identities, one of them said, "Mister Messenger, please follow me. Master Qian and his men have been waiting for you for a long time."
