In the Donghunting Pavilion, no one, the palace maids, or the inner prisoner, were fifty meters away from the Ganqing Palace, and no one could hear the conversation inside.

No one knows about this conversation, except Zhu Xu and Sun Chuanting.

Later history books only describe the dialogue on this day as follows: the court stands in front of the emperor, and the time comes, so you can't wait. The emperor agrees, and there are other expectations.

These eighteen words have been studied repeatedly in later generations. Only the "Miscellaneous Notes on the Ganqing Palace" which came from the old man Liu Shimin's later years was included in the "Jing Zheng Records". Others can never be studied again.

When Sun Chuanting entered the Ganqing Palace, the court and the people were staring at each other. They were anxious and wanted to know how Zhu Xu thought of Sun Chuanting and what attitude he was about to his upcoming policy plan.

Sun Chuanting stayed in the Ganqing Palace for three hours before leaving the palace.

Many people are waiting for reactions everywhere. Surprisingly, the Ganqing Palace is as quiet as usual and unconscious. The cabinet and the six ministries are also silent, as if nothing has happened.

However, in the anxious expectation of many people, the voices against Sun Chuanting, which can be seen by the naked eye, gradually became smaller, and the people and things that originally stopped Sun Chuanting from slowly disappearing.

The court seemed to have been opened to the Ren and Du meridians, becoming natural and smooth. Even rumors inside and outside the capital became calm and increasingly rare.

Time was fast and slow, and soon the end of Jingzheng's fifth year was concluded, and the year-end discussion was set for the last three days.

All departments are extremely nervous, especially the parliament. There are too many things to consider and face the strong pressure from the cabinet. It can be said that they are busy and worried, and at the same time.

Sun Chuanting has been much more severe in the cabinet than Bi Zi, and has almost become a subordinate agency of the cabinet.

The parliament is under such great pressure that you can imagine seeing other departments.

In the fifth year of Jingzheng, December 27th, late at night.

The cabinet is still brightly lit, and the masters of the cabinet are busy racing against time and not stopping for a while.

At this time, Li Youtang suddenly ran in and said hurriedly: "Sir, something happened. King Lu beat Yang Jinchu."

Sun Chuanting raised his head, looked indifferent, and said, "Why?"

Li Youtang paused and said, "When King Lu heard that the court was going to reduce the cost of the royal family, the King Lu went to the Ministry of Revenue to make an explanation. Yang Jinchu persuaded him to reconcile. The King Lu seemed to have drunk wine and started a move."

Yang Jinchu is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the King of Lu is the Prince, and the Zongren Mansion is the Zhengzheng. After such a fight, I don’t know how much noise will happen.

The foreign court had a deep resentment towards the royal family, and now it is the critical time for the change of leadership, and the government and the public are staring at Sun Chuanting. This incident is nothing more than a test of Sun Chuanting's new cabinet and has great significance.

Li Youtang knew the importance of the matter and immediately told Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting put down the carbon pen in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "What does the Ministry of Justice mean?"

Li Youtang said: "The Ministry of Justice has sent people there, but Liao Changyong, the Minister of Justice, said that the royal family involved was not under his jurisdiction. They separated the people and let them go."

Sun Chuanting's eyes flashed with a sharp light and said, "I ordered the Law Enforcement Bureau to detain King Lu."

Li Youtang looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Sir, King Lu is a prince of Yizi. The clan mansion is a master. Do you need to report to the emperor?"

Sun Chuanting picked up the pen again and said, "No need, let's take the recruitment."

Li Youtang looked at Sun Chuanting and did not persuade him again, saying, "Yes."

Just as he was about to leave, Sun Chuanting said again: "How is the separation between the prison and the Ministry of Justice and the yamen going?"

Li Youtang quickly turned around and said, "This is one of the plans of the 'New Deal'. The Ministry of Justice and others are promoting it. It has been basically completed. But... although it has been completed, the people who manage these prisons are still the original people. In fact, they have changed the soup but not the medicine."

Sun Chuanting was not surprised. This is the current dilemma of the Ming Dynasty and the need for further reform.

"I understand." Sun Chuanting held the pen and lowered his head.

Li Youtang waited for a while before turning around and going out.

After a while, Bao Liyou hurried in and said, "Sir, I think the matter of King Lu is not simple. I am worried that someone is planning to plot against him."

Sun Chuanting didn't raise his head and said, "They do theirs, we do ours, strictly implement the plan, and other things will be blocked by the water and soil."

Bao Liyou thought about Sun Chuanting's words, and suddenly realized, and said, "Sir, wise!"

Ministry of Revenue.

The servants from the Ministry of Justice dragged King Lu and pulled him out of the Ministry of Revenue.

King Lu was covered in alcohol, his face flushed, and he shouted loudly: "I am the prince of the current dynasty, the grandson of Taizu, you slaves dare to arrest me, are you going to rebel against the sky? I want to see the emperor, I want you to be in trouble!"

These servants seemed to have not heard it and dragged it away.

There were more than 20 servants from the Ministry of Justice, and the leader was Zhong Yangsheng, a regular assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. He looked at him expressionlessly and took the people straight to the prison in the capital.

The onlookers were shocked. They were not detained in the clan's mansion or in the Ministry of Justice, but the capital city prison. Here is a more familiar name: Tianzhu!

Almost no one who came into the locked place came out alive!

Some of the onlookers were frightened and fled quickly.

One of them is the ally of King Lu for many years, King Jin Zhu Qiugui!

According to their understanding, King Lu was a vassal, and King Jin replaced Zongzheng, which was almost the only choice, because there were only a few princes living in the Ming Dynasty, and King Tang and King Jing were not qualified to serve as one, and only one King of Jin was left!

However, King Lu did not take the vassal state and was sent to the Heavenly Prison!

King Jin no longer had his previous confidence, and he was confident that he could take over as the Zongzheng Mansion and then leave the capital, and become the local emperor with a broad sky and a vast land.

He was afraid that King Lu would give him, and he was the mastermind behind the scenes!

The King of Jin was worried about himself, and some other onlookers were worried about Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting dared to go directly to prison, so what else did he dare not do?

For a time, the savages were panicked, and countless impeachment memorials flew into the Sili Prison early the next morning. Some people complained at the Governor's Court, Dali Temple, and even the gate of the palace, demanding that Zhu Xu severely punish Sun Chuanting!

But none of this could stop the convening of the year-end discussion the next day.

Early in the morning, the officials in the cabinet were busy, a large conference hall that could accommodate 888 people was filled with chairs.

The pattern of the big discussion changed again, and it was still a circle. At the front, there were a row of long tables placed with ten people, lowered from the highest point to both sides, showing their identity.

In front of the circular seat are four large characters, southeast, west and north, representing the four directions of the Ming Dynasty and all of them are the positions of members of the parliament.

Unlike before, officials at all levels of the court were also caught in, and no special place was left for them.

On the second floor, there is a circle of places left for the "observer", with a total of about 150.

All of this is naturally arranged by Sun Chuanting.
