Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.

Nurhachi's fainting defeat was beyond his expectation, but in this way, will Nurhachi die prematurely, and will his son Huang Taiji come to power too early, so that it will affect Liaodong?

Zhu Zonghan saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, and continued: "Chahar defeated the bandit chieftain, and took the opportunity to kill Setel, Alin's department, and annexed Alin and Lute. Now he has even gathered troops and horses to prepare Take the opportunity to attack the Horqin Ministry."

Hearing this, Zhu Xu shook his head slightly.

Chahar and Horqin are the most powerful of the several big tribes after the split of Canyuan, and Chahar is the strongest. However, Horqin and Houjin Goulian are hostile to Chahar, and Chahar also intends to unify the grassland tribes.

However, although Houjin was defeated, it did not hurt the root cause, and Nurhachi's son was more talented than him. In the future, Lin Danhan of Chahar would not be Huang Taiji's opponent at all, and he would be a soldier in a few years Defeated.

In the eyes of Hou Jin, the biggest enemy is the Ming court, but strategically, it is necessary to conquer Mongolia, which is the most threatening behind, then North Korea, which is hindering, and finally the Ming court.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, and after a long time said: "Well, I know, keep watching, and report any news."

"My minister retire."

Zhu Zonghan covered his head with his hat, turned around and left quietly.

Zhu Xu stood up, thinking in his heart.Mongolia is in a mess, and it is definitely not an opponent of Houjin, who is flourishing and its national strength is getting stronger day by day.

"It seems that it is necessary to support Chahar."

Zhu Xu talked to himself, thinking about how to support without raising tigers and causing harm to the nine sides.

Just as he was thinking, Cao Huachun walked in quietly and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian's servants are here."

Zhu Xu turned his head and glanced, Wei Zhongxian at the door bowed, had already changed his clothes, was clean and neat, with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.

Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed, took the teacup and said calmly, "Come in."

Wei Zhongxian walked in, knelt down and kowtowed: "Servant, pay homage to the emperor."

Cao Huachun quietly retreated and closed the door.

Zhu Xu drank his tea and looked at Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling on the ground. His body was hunched over, his temples were a little white, and he knelt there motionless.

Zhu Xu put down his teacup, looked at him, and said in a cold tone, "Do you know why I still want to see you?"

Wei Zhongxian knelt there, his face was colder than because of that, the wrinkles were deeper, gloomy, like a ghost who had been hiding in a dark place.

He remained motionless, and said in a hoarse voice: "Back to the emperor, the slaves will die without redemption, and they leave a humble life. They just want to serve the emperor and repay the emperor's favor."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, not surprised, and smiled: "You are smart."

Wei Zhongxian knelt there and said nothing.

Zhu Xu stood up, with his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and said, "Go back, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will rearrange the room for you so that you can read more books by Grand Tutor Zhang. After a while, King Xin will protect you."

Wei Zhongxian's expression moved slightly, he kowtowed and said: "Your maidservant kowtows to thank my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Wei Zhongxian withdrew from Wenzhao Pavilion, put on a black robe, walked down the steps, looked up at the long-lost sun, opened his eyes wide, his cold face twitched, and there was a surge of resentment in his heart.

This resentment came and went quickly, he lowered his head again, hid his face in the hat, and whispered to himself: "Teacher Zhang, is Zhang Juzheng?"

Zhang Juzheng died less than 50 years ago, not many people in Daming have forgotten him now, Zhao Nanxing and others are still his marginal disciples.

"Let's go."

Two brocade-clothed guards stood beside him and said coldly.

Wei Zhongxian bowed his head and left quickly.

Wei Zhongxian left, and Zhu Xu walked a few steps in the room, stretched his waist, and sat on the soft bed to play the memorial.

Liu Shimin held a plate of notebooks and presented a lot of memorials, saying: "Your Majesty, these are the memorials of governors, clans, and Daoists from all over the country."

"Again?"

Zhu Xu was taken aback. He had just looked around, but he was taken aback for a while, and said, "You mean the clan?"

Liu Shimin bowed slightly, raised his head and said: "Yes, King Zheng of Huaiqing, King Xiang of Xiangyang, King Huai of Raozhou, King Wei Huilu, King Fu of Luoyang, etc., jointly signed a petition to impeach Mr. Sun, who is in charge of the military department."

Zhu Xu took a book casually, turned it over and glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing.

These princes impeached Sun Chengzong, but it was still because of the government soldiers.In the previous court meeting, Sun Chengzong submitted that the soldiers of the vassal kings should be brought under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Although Zhu Xu agreed, it was very difficult to implement, and it was not really completed.

But this time, Sun Chengzong commanded Qin Liangyu, Sun Chuanting and others led troops to recruit soldiers from various princes' mansions on the grounds of countering the rebellion, and those who resisted were forced to "transfer out" with imperial edicts. The skin was peeled, so it was naturally hard for them to bear it.

Zhu Xu smiled and threw the playbook aside, ignoring it.

Liu Shimin put the playbook aside, and said: "Your Majesty, King Rui, King Ping, and King Gui wrote a letter to thank you."

Zhu Xu just took a memorial, and said curiously: "Thank you, thank you for what?"

Liu Shimin looked up at Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Majesty, the three princes were supposed to enter the feudal domain this year, but it happened to coincide with the funeral of the late emperor, so it was delayed until now."

Zhu Xu continued to look at the memorial, and said calmly: "Decree, it is not appropriate for King Ping to be in charge of the clan's mansion. King Rui and King Gui are in charge of the clan's mansion, and don't leave Beijing."

Liu Shimin said: "Your maidservant is going to deliver the decree."

As soon as Liu Shimin left, Cao Huachun walked in quickly. Before he could speak, Zhu Xu sighed, "I really don't have any leisure at all. Come on, what's the matter?"

Standing not far away, Cao Huachun bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, King Xin, Senior Scholar Ye, Senior Scholar Han, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and a dozen other lords are asking for an interview."

Zhu Xu threw away the booklet, stood up, waved his hands and said, "No, just say I'm reading, no, I'm sleeping, I don't have time to pay attention to them."

Cao Huachun naturally knew that Zhu Xu was under a lot of pressure these days, so he took a step closer and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Imperial Garden?"

Chapter 224 It's All My Business

Zhu Xu walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion noncommittally, stood at the railing, and looked around.

Outside Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but face darken when he heard Zhu Xu's reply. He straightened up, looked at the servant majestically and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

The servant raised his head and glanced at Zhu Youjian, then glanced at Ye Xianggao, who was also looking directly at him, bowed slightly and said: "Recently, there are too many memorials, and the emperor stays up all night, and the prince is in the cabinet to see what the imperial pen sage wrote." Zhezi will know."

Zhu Youjian didn't doubt this, but he just slept in broad daylight, so he couldn't justify it.

After a pause, he said: "Well, when the emperor wakes up, immediately notify the king, and say that the king has something to ask to see."

"The slaves obey."

The waiter agreed, turned around and left with small steps.

Zhu Youjian turned around, with a smile on his face, and said to Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing and the others: "Since the emperor is sleeping, let's come to see you another day."

Ye Xianggao frowned, and sighed inwardly, the little emperor was still young after all, he would do whatever he wanted, and he was sleeping in broad daylight when he was working hard.
