Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "What's the news from Moxi?"

Sun Chengzong was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the Oala side is still relatively quiet. The Raksha people to the west of them are very powerful and often launch attacks. They have no time to look east. Gansu, Ningxia and others don't need to worry about it for the time being."

Zhu Xu held the chess piece and dropped the chess piece.He has already asked Daming's three-sided threat with three questions, and then said: "The 'New Deal' is too large and intricate, and it needs to be viewed from a historical perspective and planned. The details must be combined with history, based on the present, and planned. In the future, we can’t be short-sighted and only focus on the present. Right now, the authority of the cabinet is still a little weak, and the local forces have been too strong for too long. What we have to do is to continue to push forward unswervingly, meet gods and kill gods, and don’t be afraid of difficulties..."

When all the adults saw that Zhu Xu was talking about political affairs, they turned sideways and listened carefully.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Bingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, there are two most troublesome things at present. The first is the acres of land, and the second is taxation. The involvement of acres of land is quite complicated. The cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs have vigorously promoted it for three years, but it is still difficult. There are many problems, especially in the measurement of acres. There are various means of local obstacles. So far, none of the tenth of the plans have been made. It has been many years since the household registration has been re-registered, but even if the re-registration is true, it remains to be monitored... Whether it is a farmer Tax, business tax or other miscellaneous taxes, although there is a structure, but the actual effect is still negligible..."

Zhu Xu played chess and didn't speak.

Reform is not accomplished overnight, especially at this time in the Ming Dynasty, it is still necessary to be patient and scrape the bones to heal the poison.

Zhu Xu looked at the chessboard, threw down the pieces in his hand, and said with a smile: "I lost, I can't play anymore. I practiced secretly, so as not to lose face."

Bi Ziyan stood up with a smile, and said: "The emperor's heart is as wide as the sea, and he is not afraid of being short of others. The ministers don't feel that the emperor is ashamed."

Zhu Xu picked up a cup of tea and said with a smile: "I am not afraid of losing face, and neither should everyone. It is the right way to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses."

Bi Ziyan and the others responded with a smile, but they were very friendly.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, looked outside, and said: "In the past, you often said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. I think this sentence is very suitable for this time. We must be patient. Throughout the History books, earth-shaking reforms are all on the verge of failure, why? I am eager for success, not patient enough, not persistent enough. This time, we are all one-hearted, we have plenty of time, don't worry, and solve problems one by one..."

Bi Ziyan and the others felt panicked when they heard these words, and they all remained silent.

Now Zhu Xu likes to piss off these ministers. Seeing their speechless expressions, just as he was about to continue, a court lady ran in and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the Second Highness, and the Third Highness are fighting."

Zhu Xu was startled, and said, "Why?"

The maid was anxious, and said: "Miss Li can't persuade you, the emperor should go and have a look quickly, they are all using the knife."

Zhu Xu's expression changed, he stood up abruptly, and strode towards the apse.

The other ministers were also frightened. It doesn't matter if it's two children making a fuss, but if it involves weapons, especially the royal brothers, it will be different.

When Zhu Xu arrived in the apse, he saw Cixuan and Ciyi wrestling together, using both hands and feet, and even biting from time to time. Li Jieyu tried several times but failed to pull the two of them apart.

At this moment, little Ciye walked between the two, holding a small mace in his hand, slowly spiraling, Cixuan and Ciyi's small faces were angry, they raised their heads, their hands were still on each other Fighting back and forth, as the mace fell, the two of them couldn't do it, and slowly let go, their faces were still angry, as if they were going to wrestle together again in the next moment.

Zhu Xu raised his hand, stopped all the people who spoke, and watched quietly.

Xiao Ciye separated the two, his face was expressionless, and he tapped the mace on the ground between the two of them, his voice was immature, and he said firmly: "Is the fight over?"

The two little guys didn't pay attention to the elder brother at all, and after hearing this, they started to scuffle again.

Xiao Ciye raised his mace to separate the two of them, and said angrily, "If you dare to fight again, you won't be allowed to eat tonight."

Little Cixuan, little Ciyi is only two or three years old, there is no real hatred, food is more important, even though he is still angry, he has no intention of continuing to fight.

Li Jieyu quickly comforted him, separated the two little guys, and took them away.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, watched the three little guys leave, and suddenly smiled and said: "Look, how is my son?"

After Zhu Xu's words fell, Bi Ziyan and others were silent.

Zhu Ciye's identity was too complicated, and Zhu Xu's question seemed casual, but if their answer spread, it would be some kind of siding.

In this way, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and perhaps a new "country-based struggle" will start from this.

Zhu Xu waited for a while, saw that no one was talking, turned his head and glanced at the crowd, and smiled again; "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Li Dingguo and the others went hunting, and we can't be idle. Let's go, let's have another 'New Deal' Deduction, checking for omissions and filling in vacancies..."

"Yes." All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and then responded.

Chapter 1180 Conspiracy to Assassinate

While Zhu Xu and the court officials were deducing all aspects of the "New Deal", the big hunting team was also going on. At the prescribed time, they returned one by one, and the cabinet officials recorded the number of hunting and tentative rankings.

At the dinner, Zhu Xu talked with these people about what they had and what they didn't, and encouraged the younger generation.

Zhu Xu's three sons, plus little Yongning, were playing and making noise in the whole village.

Zhu Xu held the wine glass and faced Bi Ziyan from afar, and said with a smile, "It's a child after all, how big things can be forgotten in a blink of an eye..."

Bi Ziyan let go, and said: "Yes, I should learn more, and let go of what should be let go, otherwise sooner or later I will be overwhelmed, and the important ones will move forward..."

Zhu Xu was used to these adults who were used to preaching, so he smiled calmly and chatted with other people.

After a while, Zhu Xu looked at the three little fellows who were fighting for food. He turned to Li Jieyu and said, "Ye'er did a good job this afternoon. After all, Uncle Xinjian is still a scholarly family. After returning to the palace Remind me, find a chance to chat with him."

Li Jieyu sat beside Zhu Xu and smiled softly, "Yes."

At this time, the adults sitting below all looked at Li Jieyu with complex and difficult eyes.

Li Jieyu saw it from the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat, his brows frowned slightly, he picked up the jug and poured wine for Zhu Xu, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, Empress Empress, Sister Hai is about to give birth, and this concubine has been a medical girl. In the past, maybe I could still be of help. Ye'er and the others are here to make trouble for the emperor and the other lords, and the concubines can also be taken away..."

With a piece of meat in his mouth, Zhu Xu picked up the wine glass, paused for a moment, and said, "Well, you can go if you want, Xuan'er, you can take Yi'er, Ye'er is sensible, stay here."

Li Jieyu was about to say more, Zhu Xu turned his wine glass to Sun Chengzong, and said with a smile: "Old Sun Ge, let's go hunting together tomorrow, how about a comparison?"

Sun Chengzong quickly picked up the wine glass and responded with a smile.

Li Jieyu hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent.

After the banquet, it was free activities. Whether it was the senior officials or the young people, it was a rare opportunity. They gathered in small groups, inside and outside the hall, and the bonfire dinner unconsciously formed a large area. There was endless laughter.

Zhu Xu and Li Jieyu walked side by side on the path. Tonight, the moonlight is like water, and the mountain area illuminated by it is particularly cool.

The two talked about some things inside and outside the palace, and they felt extremely relaxed. They sat down on a small mound and looked at the bonfire not far away. Zhu Xu said, "Are you worried?"

Li Jieyu knew what Zhu Xu was talking about, he was flustered, his scalp was numb, he missed his body, and said softly: "This concubine knows that the emperor has the emperor's intentions."

Zhu Xu looked at the flames in front of him, put his arms around her waist, and said: "There is nothing to worry about, I am here. They are all my children, and I will not have a preference for anyone. A tiger does not eat its own child, and I am here." One day, none of them will be allowed to have something..."

Li Jieyu leaned his head on Zhu Xu's shoulder, pursed his lips, felt more relaxed, and said softly: "Well, I trust the emperor, as long as Ye'er is safe and sound, I have nothing else to ask for."

Zhu Xu was silent for a moment, then turned his eyes to the direction of Yunwu Mountain, and said: "When you go to Yunwu Mountain, you must avoid those who should be taboo, and don't give people a chance to gossip. When the time comes, listen to her more and don't make decisions on your own."

"The concubine knows." Li Jieyu leaned against Zhu Xu, with a sense of peace of mind, and most of the worry in his eyes quietly disappeared.

At the bonfire stand not far away, Bi Ziyan was roasting a chicken leg, looking away from Zhu Xu and the two of them, without speaking.

The people sitting here are all assistant ministers, and when they are in this position, the things they worry about are basically the same.

Bi Ziyan did not speak, Sun Chengzong was unpredictable, Prince Jing always practiced closed-mouth meditation, Wang Qiaonian lacked qualifications, Sun Chuanting always kept himself, Fu Changzong was reticent, and all the elders were full of worries, but they were silent.

As for the six ministers, seeing that the elders in the pavilion don't talk, they naturally don't talk too much, and naturally they are also full of worries.

On the other hand, the others were very happy. They changed their cups and sang loudly, which was quite resounding in the quiet mountain forest.
