Domineering Daming

After half an hour, the three of them got dressed and came out of the room.

As soon as they came out, the three of them trembled and wrapped their clothes tightly. Zhu Xu looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go, go to Zhen's place and eat something good."

Cao Wenzhao still has a lot of things to ask about this special army, and he said cheerfully: "Then you are welcome. I heard that the Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River paid a tribute to the emperor for a good wine. I have been thinking about it for a long time."

Zhu Xu laughed, and said: "Okay, when I leave later, I will take a jar back with me, and Lu Aiqing will also bring back a jar to taste. It is brewed by the Chen family's secret method in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is really good."

Lu Xiangsheng had long heard that the relationship between Cao Wenzhao and the emperor was extraordinary, and he had seen it today, so he raised his hand hesitantly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Cao Wenzhao didn't care, he and Zhu Xu had been together in Jinghuan Palace for many years, a jar of wine was nothing to worry about, and he followed Zhu Xu carelessly.

Lu Xiangsheng walked behind and looked at the two with strange expressions.

The emperor in front of him made him feel a little bit like a dream. Whether it was Shenzong, Guangzong, or Xizong, they were all quite majestic and unsmiling in front of the officials.The emperor in front of him is not real, he is like an ordinary person, his emotions are all in his every move, giving people a sense of intimacy.

Just as Zhu Xu and the others returned to the main hall, an inner eunuch hurried over and said, "Your Majesty sees the Emperor."

Zhu Xu took a look, he was not from the Qing Palace, and said, "What is it?"

The inner supervisor said: "Go back to the emperor, the concubine invited the emperor to have a meal, the empress dowager, Li empress, and Hai empress have all gone."

Zhu Xu's eyes showed surprise. It was the first time for the old concubine to treat guests. Er turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile, "I can't eat today, but the wine will be delivered."

Cao Wenzhao immediately raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The old concubine invited the emperor, Lu Xiangsheng had nothing to say, he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu summoned an inner eunuch and led the two to get the wine, while he turned around and looked in the direction of Renshou Hall.

Not long after, Cao Huachun hurried over, holding six or seven cents of the newspaper in his hand, handed it to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet, and six special issues have all come out."

"Oh."

Zhu Xu looked surprised, amazed at the efficiency of the cabinet this time, and reached out to take it.

Today's newspapers are all thick sheets of paper bound together, like books, which can be read.

The top one is for the cabinet, which succinctly clarifies the cabinet's government affairs and innovation plans, and at the same time expresses its firm determination, calling on Ming to work together to support the court.

The next ones are the six ministries, Dali Temple, and Governor's Office. These yamen are relatively simple, and they all explain the government affairs of their respective yamen, and cooperate with the cabinet, which seems to be a kind of expansion, perfection, and explanation.There are no long essays, classical Chinese, and the nine sections are less than [-] words.

After Zhu Xu finished reading, he handed it to Cao Huachun, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky with bright eyes and full of ambition.

Now that the words are out of the way, the next step is to make bold moves and stride forward.

"Have you confirmed the list for the annual banquet?" Zhu Xu suddenly rubbed his hands together.

Cao Huachun said: "It's been confirmed. The clan, ministers, officials of the outer court, and some special ones have all been listed."

Zhu Xu thought for a while, and said: "Well, add a few more. Song Yingxing from the Royal Political Council, Bi Maokang from the Military Weapons Bureau, and Fu Tao are also coming. Who is Zhou Yingqiu's eldest son? Anyway, add it. From the fourth and fifth halls President, by the way, where is Luo Yangxing now?"

Cao Huachun thought for a while, and said: "It is said that there is something unusual in Gansu, Lord Luo went there in person."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "That's all. The cabinet is probably going to be very busy these days, so I won't make any trouble. Their shifts can be adjusted arbitrarily without waiting for my approval."

"Yes." Cao Huachun understood that for such a big event today, the influence of the capital must be huge, and it will spread beyond the capital. The cabinet is doomed to be unable to handle government affairs normally and needs more handling.

"Let's go to the Hall of Renshou." Zhu Xu lifted his foot and said with ease.

After today's move, I don't know how many people were tied to his chariot whether they wanted to or not, and there was no way out. Thinking about it makes me happy.

The cabinet was indeed very busy. Five people and six ministers came in and out of the cabinet. One after another decree was issued continuously. Under the cover of the vigorous incident, it did not cause any waves, but it was destined to become a sharp sword in the future.

There was a great deal of commotion outside the palace. Countless people cheered and sang loudly. Naturally, too many people were angry and screamed up to the sky.

Some academies and even teahouses and restaurants have blacklisted, and some people were turned away and given a severe reprimand.

As for those frustrated scholars and those former officials who failed to seek reinstatement, they had mixed feelings, love and hatred, and tossed and turned.

"See Your Majesty."

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu stepped into the Hall of Renshou, and along the way, countless court ladies and eunuchs saluted him, with excitement and gratitude on his face.

According to the new laws and decrees promulgated by the cabinet, these maids in the palace can apply to leave the palace after a certain period of time, and will be converted into a contract. With "freedom of entry and exit", they will not die forever in the palace and will not be free !

Zhu Xu strode forward and went straight to the main palace.

Before entering the door, I saw the maids and eunuchs coming and going, steaming hot and fragrant.

"Your Majesty, come quickly."

As soon as Zhu Xu showed half of her head, the old concubine's voice rang out, which was unusually bright and heartfelt.

Zhu Xu turned around and saw that all the important figures in the harem had arrived.

The old concubine, Empress Dowager Zhang, Xiao Yongning, Li Jieyu, and Hai Lanzhu were all seated, and they all followed the old concubine's gaze to look at him, obviously waiting for a while.

"I have met the emperor." Hai Lanzhu, Li Jieyu and others got up and saluted.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, went to the old concubine and sat down, said with a smile: "Toffee, why are you in such a good mood today, invite me to dinner?"

The old concubine was gray-haired and wrinkled all over her face. She habitually grabbed Zhu Xu's hand, patted it vigorously, and said with a smile: "The emperor's words are really good. She is worthy of being the grandson of Shenzong and a model of a wise king." !"

Empress Dowager Zhang also showed relief. All along, the harem has also been under great pressure.Whenever Zhu Xu "gets into trouble", as in the past, everyone will come to Queen Mother Zhang. After all these years - she is not easy.

But she managed to survive and saw the dawn that made her relax and gratified.

Both Li Jieyu and Hai Lanzhu looked at Zhu Xu with gentle expressions, reserved and reserved.

It was Xiao Yongning who looked up at the old concubine and said, "Taufei, she was on the tower at the time, what the emperor said was not very good, it is not as good as what she said..."

The old concubine burst out laughing, looked at Xiao Yongning and said, "You are still young, so you don't understand. Come on, serve the food quickly, by the way, the emperor's favorite fish will be served first, and then there will be soup, by the way, there will be some more A bowl of rice, the emperor hasn't eaten yet, he must be hungry..."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at it, and smiled quickly: "Twife, don't be so anxious, the emperor is right here."

The old concubine was smiling all over her face, she took Zhu Xu's hand, looked at his face, nodded and said, "Well, it's somewhat similar to Emperor Shenzong, okay, okay, okay, the old lady is dead And no regrets..."

Chapter 925

Every time Zhu Xu's hand was slapped by the old concubine, it was painful, but I don't know if it was because he didn't have a long memory or the old concubine had deep knowledge, and he could grab Zhu Xu's hand every time, and he wouldn't let go.

The corner of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched, enduring the pain, and said with a smile: "The concubine is joking, we are still waiting for the concubine's [-]th birthday, that will be the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty, auspicious..."

The old concubine was very excited today, she patted the back of Zhu Xu's hand more forcefully and said: "I won't live that long, after the empress enters the palace and gives birth to an heir, the old woman can wait for her death in peace and go to see Emperor Shenzong... "
