After this meaningful conversation, everyone knew His Majesty’s thoughts and understood the meaning of this passage.

To put it bluntly, they were still worried. They didn’t know how to make a choice. After all, this matter was too important, so His Majesty ordered it to them.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's go and do your own business to see if there are a few students who have achieved good grades today."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone agreed, and then went to work hard.

There were no one else who could be with Zhu Youxiao, only Xu Guangqi and Chen Tingyun were left. In addition, the only one remaining was Zhao Bingzhong, the Minister of Rites.

Zhao Bingzhong was deliberately left by Zhu Youxiao, and he had something to say to Zhao Bingzhong.

Zhu Youxiao had already made plans for Zhao Bingzhong's appointment, but he had never encountered a suitable opportunity before, so Zhu Youxiao did not touch him.

But this time it was different. Now there is a very suitable opportunity and a very suitable arrangement.

This time, Zhu Youxiao wanted to ask Zhao Bingzhong about his opinion, so he said, "Did Zhao Aiqing ever want to change the place?"

Zhu Youxiao had a sunny smile on his face and his tone was also very gentle.

When he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, not only a few others, but even Zhao Bingzhong was a little surprised.

But he is not a fool, so of course he knows how to answer at this time.

So Zhao Bingzhong took a step forward and said respectfully: "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty's minister. As long as your Majesty needs it, I can follow your Majesty's arrangements."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Then go to Tongzhengsi and be a Tongzheng envoy."

Since he planned to reuse the Tongzhengsi Department, Zhu Youxiao naturally wanted to choose the right person to take office.

It turns out that those in Tongzhengsi were basically unsuitable for retirement. So Zhu Youxiao was going to cut them off and remove them. Those who could be released from the outside were transferred to some yamen for retirement.

And the newcomers are the backbone of the new yamen and the guarantee for Zhu Youxiao to reuse the Tongzheng Department.

The first person is Zhao Bingzhong in front of him, and the other person is Mei Zhihuan, whom he had prepared to use before.

With Zhao Bingzhong and Mei Zhihuan, he can attack the officials.

It is never an easy thing to rectify officials. Someone must be able to attack without fear of death, ignore the front and behind, and dare to take serious measures against corrupt officials. No matter who they are, they are fearless.

In ancient times, there were very few such ministers. If there were such ministers, if they still had righteousness in their hearts, they would eat less and less.

In the past, perhaps there might be disciples of the Legalists willing to do this.

But to this day, not many people have the integrity to do so.

This is the reason for the degenerate thought.

There was a Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately he was not valued.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao was also regretting that if he had a Hai Rui in his hand, what a beautiful picture would it be?

But now with Zhao Bingzhong and Mei Zhihuan, he has two capable assistants.

So after appointing them, it is time for them to attack the officials.

"This matter is probably very difficult, and it is difficult to turn back after doing it."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were a little exploring, and looked at Zhao Bingzhong and said, "So I want to ask you today. If you do it, it will be good; but if you don't want to do it, I won't force anyone to do it."

After hearing his own majesty's words, Zhao Bingzhong lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said with a firm tone: "Please tell the truth to you. If I want, even if I try my best, I must do it. If I think there is something wrong, I will speak out bluntly."

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

What he wants is to do his best. If he is dealing with errands, he can use anyone to do it, and what he will only have the opposite effect, so he will not find anyone casually.

If kings of all dynasties want to attack officials, they are more likely to look for cruel officials.

For example, Lai Junchen and Xu Jingzong of the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, more were eunuchs and Jinyiwei.

Because there are too few people who are willing to do such things that offend people and don’t get a good ending, and using such a knife is easier. Once it is used up, you can throw it away directly and beheaded to calm the public anger.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't want to do this.

What he wants is the continuity of the policy. Once the used knife is broken, the policy will be useless.

That's why Zhu Youxiao chose Zhao Bingzhong and Mei Zhihuan. Mei Zhihuan had already made a statement before, and now it's Zhao Bingzhong's turn.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "I am going to let you go to Tongzhengsi."

After hearing this, Zhao Bingzhong said hesitantly: "Go to Tongzhengsi?"

Before this, when the Tongzheng Department mentioned it, everyone present knew what kind of yamen it was.

But this time it was obviously different, so they also understood another thing, that is, His Majesty was preparing to implement the secret memorial system.

"Yes, Tongzhengsi." Zhu Youxiao said gently: "I am going to place the secret memorials in Tongzhengsi, and all post stations in various places are under the jurisdiction of Tongzhengsi."

"All secret teleportation is under the responsibility of the post station under the jurisdiction of Tongzheng Department, and no local officials or generals are allowed to intervene."

"All secret memorials will be divided into levels and sent to the capital at different speeds according to different levels. After being handed over to the Tongzheng Department, they will all be delivered directly to me."

Everyone present realized Zhu Youxiao's determination, but at the same time he felt that His Majesty's reputation would probably drop to a higher level, especially among local governments.

According to His Majesty’s statement today, this is equivalent to tying a rope to everyone, and it would be strange if they were happy.

While they are unhappy, they will not stand up from this direction and firmly oppose it. Instead, they will change their direction to make trouble.

For example, if you slander the Tongzhengsi, saying that the Tongzhengsi is for His Majesty to supervise the world and blackmail the world's yamen, you will definitely be more ruthless than the Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Under such circumstances, the reputation of Tongmasatsu will definitely not be good. In addition, Your Majesty's reputation will definitely be damaged.

In addition to the public security troubles that happened some time ago, some people have already begun to worry.

For example, Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun did not expect that Zhu Youxiao would be so direct.

Because before that, His Majesty did not do things like this. His Majesty used to hide behind the scenes and use conflicts between his ministers to do these things; when there was no conflict between his ministers, His Majesty would also use one thing to provoke them.

They are all old ministers and scholars, so they are naturally familiar with this trick, which is power.

But now, Your Majesty obviously changed the gameplay, which made them a little happy and worried.

After all, they don’t like emperors who play power, and they are worried that once His Majesty takes action personally, it may indicate that things are unchangeable.

Either His Majesty was forced to give in, or the ministers were passively accepted.

But if you want to be concessions by Your Majesty, the price you pay is related to the emperor's toughness.

Obviously, Your Majesty is not the kind of person who is good at retreating now. Once you encounter strong resistance, Your Majesty will probably swing the knife directly.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao’s words, Zhao Bingzhong hurriedly said, “I am willing to go.”

These four words already represent everything. Zhao Bingzhong didn't say much.

Zhu Youxiao didn't continue to ask anything, just nodded and said, "Then go to Tongzhengsi in a few days."

"Yes, Your Majesty Zhao Bingzhong agreed, and then stood up from the ground.

This matter has come to an end for the time being.

Zhu Youxiao’s view on this is also very simple. Tongzhengsi will definitely develop and grow. The first step is to start with the purging of stations across the country.

The first knife Zhu Youxiao wanted to cut was the post station. Of course, he would not cut off the post station like Emperor Chongzhen did, but instead had to continue to strengthen it.

As a person who came from later generations, Zhu Youxiao always understood the importance of news transmission and logistics.

When the matter was negotiated inside the house, the exams outside also began in full swing.

After Lu Xiangsheng took the test paper, he glanced quickly, and then the expression on his face became strange. It was not because it was too difficult, but because it was too difficult.

At this level, not to mention a juren, an ordinary scholar or a child, he is easy to do.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that the Royal Academy exam was so simple. Is there something hidden here?

After reading it again quickly, he found that there were no traps, but he didn't have time to think about what was wrong with it, so he picked up the pen and wrote it quickly.

In another room not far away, Song Yingxing also saw the topic and frowned.

Is this question so simple?

After taking a look, Song Yingxing also answered quickly.

Of course, some people also felt much more relaxed when they saw this topic.

Next door to Song Yingxing, a young man suddenly felt relieved after seeing such a question. Sure enough, his chance came.

I never thought about such a thing before, and this time I was really lucky.

This is a young man in his 20s, with a strong face and a burly figure. It can be seen that he is a trainer.

He seemed a little clumsy when holding the pen, obviously he did not hold the pen all year round. Looking at the location of the calluses on his hands, you know that this should be a warrior.

So after I woke up when I saw him looking, many people began to show disdain for him.

The boy didn't care and started to answer the questions quickly.

The young man's hometown was originally from Datong, Shanxi, but his livelihood was not good there. He originally wanted to go to Liaodong to join the army, but who would have thought that such a thing happened in the capital?

After hearing about this, the boy decisively stayed.

Compared to joining the army in Liaodong, studying in the Royal Academy is undoubtedly another very good choice. So the young man came to register decisively and then came to take the exam decisively.

I originally thought the exam would be difficult, but who thought it would be so simple?

This made the boy see the opportunity, why was he unhappy?
