Domineering Daming

After leaving Huiji gate, Zhu Xu said to Cao Huachun, "Order the imperial dining room to cook some food and send it to the cabinet. Don't let anyone, big or small, be left behind. Alas, I feel a little ashamed."

Cao Huachun glanced at the moonlight hanging above his head, smiled and said: "Yes, this servant will let people prepare."

Zhu Xu moved his body, paced slowly, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

After walking for a while, Cao Huachun said, "Your Majesty, should we go to Yuzao Palace, Qianqing Palace, or Compassionate Palace?"

"The Palace of Mercy Ning?"

Zhu Xu was startled, then turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "Can we go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning now? Is the door open?"

Cao Huachun said: "Today is Li Xiangjun's birthday, and the empress also regards Li Xiangjun as her half daughter, so she is celebrating her birthday, and the door is not closed yet."

"Li Xiangjun..."

Zhu Xu moved his shoulders, smiled and said: "She is one year older than Xiao Yongning, right? Ten years old, it is to celebrate her birthday, let's go, let's go to the lively scene, by the way, didn't Myanmar pay tribute to a night pearl? Bring it to me as a birthday present for Li Xiangjun."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded and ordered someone to fetch it.

Zhu Xu turned around and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Before he reached the door, he said, "By the way, there are still some good gemstones on my side. Let Shang Baojian take a look and draw some necklace patterns." Come, give me four necklaces, which four, don't I need to say?"

Cao Huachun immediately understood that it was the two empresses in the palace, Bumbutai from Nanzhili, and the empress who was about to enter the palace.

"Yes, this servant is watching in person." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu nodded, and after saying this, he stepped into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and walked straight to the main hall.

Before he arrived, the palace had already heard the news. When Zhu Xu stepped over the threshold, the maids and eunuchs saluted Zhu Xu one after another: "I have seen the emperor."

"I have seen the emperor."

Li Xiangjun, who was wearing a fluffy long red and green dress and combed her hair like a little princess, pursed her mouth and bowed to Zhu Xu in a pretty way.

Pink and jade carvings are really cute.

Zhu Xu took a look at it, took a brocade box from Cao Huachun, handed it to Li Xiangjun and said, "Emperor's sister-in-law has given gifts, I have to give it, promise, the best night pearl."

Li Xiangjun was pleasantly surprised to see Zhu Xu come in, but when he looked at the brocade box, his small face was a little apprehensive, and he turned to look at Queen Mother Zhang.

Queen Mother Zhang hadn't spoken yet, but Xiao Yongning cheered, ran over, hugged the brocade box and said, "Ye Mingzhu! Uncle Emperor, you are biased, and you won't even give what people want!"

Zhu Xu ignored her, rubbed Li Xiangjun's head, sat down in front of the table, looked at the table with good wine and good food, his stomach became more hungry, and said: "Sit and sit, don't be polite, eat quickly."

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, and said to Huan'er who was not far away: "Bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the emperor."

Li Xiangjun was holding the brocade box given by Zhu Xu, sitting diagonally across from Zhu Xu, with his mouth pursed, his face flushed, and his big eyes sparkling.

Zhu Xu took the chopsticks and started to eat, at the same time saying hello: "Eat, eat, move the chopsticks." He has been hungry for a long time.

Xiao Yongning kept his mouth shut, he couldn't forget the Ye Mingzhu in Li Xiangjun's hand, and then looked at Zhu Xu with eyes full of "resentment".She wandered around Qianqing Palace several times before, but she didn't find these good things.

Empress Dowager Zhang watched Zhu Xu gobble it up, and called Li Xiangjun again.At this time, there are no birthday songs, birthday cakes, and little girls will not have birthday banquets, just a slightly richer family meal.

After a while, Empress Dowager Zhang said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, my father will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and it coincides with his birthday. I plan to hold a banquet outside to celebrate my father's birthday. What do you think?"

Zhu Xu paused with his chopsticks, and he understood in a moment.

Zhang Guoji was going to return to Beijing from Nanzhili for the New Year. Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to visit her relatives. It would definitely be unsettling if she stayed in Zhang's mansion, and it was not suitable for her in the palace, so it would be most suitable to find a restaurant outside the palace.

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "Okay, I will let Cao Huachun arrange it when the time comes, and I will also go when the time comes."

Empress Dowager Zhang immediately said: "You don't want to go, I just want to celebrate my father's birthday in peace and don't make such a fuss."

Knowing that he was a troublesome person, Zhu Xu shook his head and had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and continue eating.

Chapter 915 Death Remonstrance

The moon hangs, half an hour before the golden rooster sings dawn.

Chaotian Palace West Square.This place used to be a gathering place for some small court officials, but now it is a gathering place for some opposition officials. Often, a group of people would gather in a certain house, drink behind closed doors, and use the smell of alcohol to yell at the court.

After waking up from the drunkenness, they went back to their respective homes and continued to seek reinstatement. After failing, they went back and forth. It has been three to five years.

Now another group of people gathered together, drinking and barking unscrupulously.

"Do you know? There are new rules for the law of officials..." This is the official affairs of the official department during the Wanli period. This year, he is only in his early fifties. He is in his prime, drunk, and shaking his head.

"I heard that the law of officials is going to establish new regulations and completely abolish science and education. I will never have a day to revive it..."

"More than that, the law of officials strictly stipulates the conduct of officials. They will be dismissed at every turn, and they will not be used again. The prohibitions and disciplines of the court must be strictly enforced. If one is found out, they will be dismissed, demoted, transferred, banned, and even It's going to prison..."

"The rules are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more. It's against the rules to drink alcohol, and it's very likely that you will be demoted. What the hell..."

"In the future, those who are still in position will have almost nowhere to go except to go home from work, and they will be stared at everywhere. A bad thing is a big crime!"

"You say, what's wrong with the imperial court? Do you have to make everyone in the world unable to be an official to be happy? Those people who are still in the imperial court, what's the matter?"

"Let's unite... How about writing a letter to the cabinet? The law of officials has not yet been promulgated, how about remonstrance?"

"it is good!"

One person patted the table, breathing alcohol, and said: "The imperial court is becoming more and more outrageous now! It's not in the slightest, but it's in disarray, and it's going to cause chaos in the world! We, we want to die! "

"That's right, dead remonstrance!"

"Dead remonstrance!"

A group of people either threw glasses or slapped the table, yelling, blushing, breathing alcohol, as angry as a wife stealing someone at home, roaring endlessly.

The wine took advantage of the bear's courage, a group of people roared, supported, and went out in twos and threes.

In another place, in an ordinary restaurant, a group of young masters were also gnashing their teeth.

"Have you heard? The marriage law has been rebuilt, and there are new regulations in it!"

"I know, I know, the minimum age for marriage is eighteen for men and sixteen for women, what's all the fuss about..."

"Heh, you know what a fart. The marriage law not only stipulates the age, but also limits the number of wives and concubines. There are also regulations on maidservants. Once violated, there must be severe punishment!"

"One wife and two concubines are normal. If you have more, you have to declare and the court allows you to get married. Otherwise, you will be locked up in prison!"

"I've also heard that there are no outside rooms now, especially those who are officials. That's a miserable..."

Regarding this, it really caused a great shock in the capital, and I don't know how many people are cursing.

But compared to those unofficial and unemployed people like them, the officials in office are even more panicked, even panicked.

In the past, the imperial court had regulations requiring disclosure of property, but only some big figures would make it public. The regulations below were very rough, and they were not even enforced outside the capital!
