Domineering Daming

Concubine Liu is already eighty, and no one knows how long she can live. He frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Well, after three days, I don't want to see people from the patrol battalion participating. Also, there are some people in the imperial army, you can also send me a note, and they will all be transferred out. How to arrange them is up to you. There are many."

Liu Hua is a soldier, if he takes the first step, he will not hesitate to take the second step. He bowed and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the patrol battalion will definitely be loyal to the Emperor and will have no second thoughts."

Zhu Xu nodded, the Liu family is loyal and will not mess around.

After confessing a few more words, he ordered Cao Huachun to take people to the yamen of the patrol camp in person.Liu Hua is different from Cao Wenzhao. He is both a general and a meritorious service. He is of the same class as those hereditary children. He knows how to rectify the patrol camp better than Cao Wenzhao.

After seeing Liu Hua, Zhu Xu flipped through the memorial as usual.

More and more words such as "disaster relief" and "pension" appeared in the memorial books from various places, and Zhu Xu could roughly guess the actual situation in various places from these words.

"The disaster is getting worse."

Zhu Xu's heart also became heavy. At present, the situation is still under control, but with the seriousness of the disaster, everything will be fine without money or troops. There are too many things to do.

It was noon after this batch, Liu Shimin turned around and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

Zhu Xu raised his head suddenly, his vision went dark, and his brain hurt badly.

He quickly closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths before opening them, exhaled and looked outside, then felt hungry, nodded and said: "Well, I'm going to order rice porridge with some side dishes."

Zhu Xu was not extravagant, neither was Empress Dowager Zhang, and even less was Concubine Liu. Therefore, the palace was silent and frugal.

Liu Shimin turned his head and gave instructions to a servant, who turned around and went out through the side door.

Zhu Xu took a breath, stood up, swayed his arms, supported his waist, and said casually, "Is Xiao Cao back?"

Liu Shimin said: "Go back to the emperor, not yet, he sent someone to send a message back, saying that he met a fellow countryman."

"A fellow countryman?"

Zhu Xu lowered his waist, smiled, and said: "The fellow from the same village who can stop him, I'm afraid they are not young. This Zhao Nanxing must have promised a lot of benefits."

Liu Shimin bowed his body and did not answer, he knew very well that the emperor in front of him was definitely not the emperor in the past, and he could not rub his eyes with sand.It is a big taboo for Zhao Nanxing and others to make a wish in such a blatant way!

Zhu Xu didn't take it to heart either, and walked around a few times with his hands behind his back, and said, "When will Sun Chuanting arrive in Beijing?"

Liu Shimin said: "It should be within a few days."

Zhu Xu looked outside the door and smiled as if relieved, Sun Chuanting, this is a fierce man, even surpassing Sun Chengzong in Zhu Xu's heart.

Sun Chengzong was a handsome man with vision and ability. Zhu Xu had no doubts that he should command Liaodong and defend Liaodong.

Zhu Xu walked back to the imperial table and sat down, saying: "When he comes to Beijing, call me to see me immediately, no matter what time it is."

"Yes." Liu Shimin bowed and said.

Zhezi next to Zhu Xu just glanced at the casual expression and then moved.

This is Xiong Wencan's excerpt. He is currently preparing to build the Southern Navy. Half a month ago, he encountered a group of sea bandits and was defeated by him. The bandits crossed the Taiwan Strait and fled towards Annan. Guangxi and other places have strictly investigated.

On the surface, this is describing things, but in fact, it is asking for credit.No wonder, when Yuan Keli's army went south, some small bandits were no match for the cannons in red, plus there was Sun Chuanting on the land, they were like sweeping holes in the courtyard, and they couldn't be stopped.

The Southern Navy has just been established, so it must have some merits, otherwise how can it ask the court for money, ships and official positions?

Zhu Xu, the naval officer, has ambitions and expectations, and he is not stingy with money and official positions. After thinking about it, he said, "Pass the order to Xiong Wencan, give him three positions as deputy commanders, and ask him to train the army well and not engage in defense. , concentrate on attacking, what I want is an invincible navy at sea!"

Liu Shimin was startled, always feeling that something was wrong, bowed his body and said, "Observe the order."

Soon, the porridge and side dishes came up, and I watched while eating.

It was not until evening, when the sun was setting, that Cao Huachun returned to the palace and stood quietly on Zhu Xu's left side, opposing Liu Shimin.

Zhu Xu didn't seem to realize it, reading the playbook is also a big question, and there are often secrets hidden between the lines, Zhu Xu sometimes treats it as a riddle, which is very interesting.

Naturally, after fun comes exasperation.

What is hidden is often the preposition of responsibility, and future incidents are an excuse for "not predicting".

Looking at Zhu Xu, he felt that something was wrong, he looked up at Liu Shimin, and said, "Are these excerpts passed down from Wenzhao Pavilion?"

Liu Shimin turned around and said, "Yes, Mr. Ye and others did not enter the palace today, nor did King Xin...."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, and tapped the table with his right hand, and the crisp sound of horseshoes sounded in the imperial study.

Zhu Xu was silent for a while, then suddenly said with a smile: "You say, what is the attitude of King Xin towards Zhao Nanxing?"

Both Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin bowed their heads and did not say a word.

If this matter were changed to Tianqi, maybe he would endure it, and he would really like the ministers of the foreign court. Although he would be extremely annoyed, he would not make a big fuss, and in the end, the big thing would be turned into a small one.

But if it was Zhu Xu, it would be absolutely impossible!

This is tantamount to treason!

Zhu Xu looked at the two of them left and right, and said, "King Chuanxin, no, prepare casual clothes, let's go to Xinwang Palace."

Both Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin were taken aback, this is going to be a showdown!

Chapter 251

Zhu Xu changed into casual clothes and took Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao out of the palace.

Although the Forbidden City is within the capital, the temple is still too high after all, so ordinary people's homes should be what they should be.

There are people coming and going on the street, and there is endless laughter.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu seldom had a moment to relax. He walked slowly along the way, like a stroll.

Cao Huachun followed, but he was very worried.

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian also has a straightforward temper. If he really refuses to give in, he is afraid that the court situation that Zhu Xu has worked so hard to build will be completely destroyed, and even the Tianqi Dynasty will be far worse, and it will be out of control.

Cao Bianjiao was calm and calm, looking around from time to time with vigilant eyes.

Not far behind him, Jin Yiwei in plain clothes and the forbidden army quietly protected Zhu Xu layer by layer.At this time, no one dared to be careless.

This year's winter is not too cold, Zhu Xu is wrapped in a small padded jacket, with a smile on his lips, he is not in a hurry to go to Xin Wangfu.

"Sister, I want this, and this..."

Not far away, two little girls wrapped like rice dumplings ran from one stall to another. Although their expressions were unclear, one could hear how happy they were from their voices.

Zhu Xu was a little stunned, and said: "Yes, this year is almost over."

After the new year, the Ming Dynasty will change from Tianqi to Chongzhen, and from the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Xu will truly become the emperor.
