Domineering Daming

Cao Huachun hesitated a little, and said, "Wang Yuyang used to be in Six Gates, and later merged into the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Governor's Yuan, but was pushed out and resigned and returned to the Shuntian Mansion's Criminal and Prison Division. Recently, I heard that he caused some trouble."

Zhu Xu looked at Cao Huachun, smiled and said, "Which big shot did you offend?"

Cao Huachun said: "In the corruption case in Wan County, she may think that Cao Dingjiao was involved in the case. She followed Cao Dingjiao, searched for evidence, and caused some conflicts."

After Zhu Xu heard this, he shook his head and said, "The Cao family is not easy to provoke... After all, they helped me. How about this? The Anti-Corruption Bureau will leave her a place. By the way, when will Gong Dingzi arrive in Beijing?"

"Yes. It has been notified in advance, but it will arrive in the next year." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, let's go. Go to the imperial dining room again, check it carefully, get ready, don't make any mistakes."

"Abiding by the order." Cao Huachun bowed and stepped back quietly.

Zhu Xu opened his eyes, exhaled, picked up the playbook in his hand, and continued to read.This year's affairs are basically over, and the rest are messy endings.

"Uncle Royal."

Zhu Xu didn't read a few words, Xiao Yongning came in from the outside with a sleepy look, and walked directly to Zhu Xu's desk, with his little head resting on the table, his mouth puckered, listless, as if he had been hit a lot.

"Xiangjun has met the emperor." Li Xiangjun saluted Zhu Xu very politely.

Zhu Xu put down the memorandum, looked at Yongning and said with a smile: "What's the matter? The emperor punished you again?"

The little girl raised her eyes, said with a muffled "Yes", and said, "The Empress Dowager asked me to be a female celebrity, and I can't hold the needle steadily."

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "By the way, where is your little red?" Xiaohong is a little red horse, and Zhu Xu gave it to the little guy, plus a pair of red armor and a red tasseled spear.

"It was hidden by the empress dowager." The little girl climbed up to the soft bed and sat opposite Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu beckoned, and said to an internal supervisor: "Bring over the charcoal stove, kettle, and snacks."

"Yes." The inner supervisor responded and hurried out.

The little guy was sitting opposite Zhu Xu, looking at the table full of playbooks, glanced at his mouth, his eyes turned around, and suddenly saw two boxes beside Zhu Xu, his eyes lit up and he flew towards them.

Zhu Xu shook the table, quickly pressed it down, and said, "Be careful."

The little girl embraced the box, opened it excitedly, her eyes lit up immediately, she was holding two necklaces in her little hands, which looked quite delicate and unusual.

The moment the little girl was about to put it in her bosom, Zhu Xu said: "Leave it to me, I want to give it away."

The little girl raised her head to look at Zhu Xu, then glanced at the eunuch not far away, the court lady, guessing that she couldn't escape, she pursed her lips reluctantly, and put the chain back reluctantly.

The little girl looked at the two boxes, then looked up at Zhu Xu, opened her eyes suddenly, and said, "Uncle Huang, are you going to send my aunt?"

Zhu Xu picked up the notebook again, and said slowly, "Yes."

The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "Then, at the annual banquet, will my aunt come?"

Zhu Xu said: "No, to avoid suspicion."

"Oh." The little girl nodded solemnly, her eyes sparkling.

Looking at Xiao Yongning's expression, Zhu Xu always felt that this girl had malicious intentions, got up to put on her shoes, grabbed her ears, and pulled her down.

"Put on your shoes, go, I don't have time to play with you, go back to your palace." Zhu Xu said.

The little girl was playing tricks and refused to leave, saying: "Uncle Huang, if I don't want to disturb you, just sit for a while..."

"There's no place for you to sit, hurry up, I still have something to do." Zhu Xu waved his hands in disgust.

Little Yongning had an angry face and didn't want to leave, but when he saw the two boxes, he narrowed his eyes and was driven out by Zhu Xu with a look of reluctance.

Zhu Xu drove away the little girl, continued to sit on the floppy chair, and looked at the playbook.

After a while, Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao came.

"You mean to change the way of performing martial arts?" Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed, looked at the two and asked.

Shen Yongmao said: "Yes. The power of cannons, arrows, and muskets cannot be seen directly. The ministers and others discussed and performed martial arts at the camp in Jingdong to show the world."

Zhu Xu looked at the two, nodded with a smile and said, "Your ideas are very good, yes, you can arrange it."

Seeing Zhu Xu nodding his head, Shen Yongmao felt a lot more relieved, and said: "Yes, I will arrange it as soon as possible and conduct a drill. There will be no problems before the big performance."

Zhu Xu still held the playbook in his hand, and said: "Well, we must hurry up, let's forget about embarrassing ourselves, and we can't throw it outside. At Jingdong Daying, I will ask Jin Guoqi to help."

Shen Yongmao hurriedly thanked Zhu Xu for his kindness, and seeing that Zhu Xu was in a good mood, he said, "Your Majesty, the 'Military Reform' has been roughly completed, and the ministers have prepared the memorandum. Do you want to have a look at it?"

Zhu Xu waved the memorabilia in his hand, thought for a moment and said: "You guys continue to improve this matter, and when the generals from all over the country come to Beijing, you can study it carefully, and you can't work behind closed doors."

Seeing that Zhu Xu still refused to nod, Shen Yongmao felt a little uneasy, and turned to look at Sun Chuanting.

Although Sun Chuanting did not participate in the "military reform", he also knew that Sun Chengzong had a lot of selfishness in it. The army, departments, etc. constrained, balanced, and even weakened each other. Such reforms were obviously not in the emperor's mind.

Sun Chuanting didn't care about Shen Yongmao's gaze, raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the government affairs of the cabinet are already being dealt with urgently, with endless annual leave, trying to finish this year's affairs before the opening of the dynasty. I wonder if the Emperor has any other instructions?"

Zhu Xu glanced at him, leaned on the soft bed, slapped his knees with the notebook, and said: "In the past, many policies and prohibitions were superficial, and the imperial court's control over the local area was also very weak. Now the local governor is basically After the erection is completed, when promoting the "New Deal" in the future, we must also strengthen the implementation of various government affairs and laws. These are not things that we discuss in the palace and let it go. …The Governor’s Office, Dali Temple, and the Department of Prisons and Prisons must be mobilized, and they cannot be used as decorations. In addition, the 22 censors must also be prepared, and all training must be strict. Those who linger in brothels..."

Both Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao could hear that the young emperor in front of him had a deep distrust of foreign court officials, they looked at each other calmly, and they both frowned secretly.

——This is not a good sign.

Zhu Xu stopped, glanced at Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao, and said: "That's it, you know what's in your mind, don't slack off, there are many things to do in the future."

"I obey the order." Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao said, both of them felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders.

Zhu Xu casually took the playbook and turned it over. Next year, he can take a whip leisurely and beat the six cabinet ministries, and settle the matter down step by step, and resolve it with heart and force.

"Your Majesty, the letter from the shipyard has been tested once at sea, and there is basically no problem. You can try again in three days." Cao Huachun said quickly.

Zhu Xu also kept this matter in mind, thought for a while and said: "It's too late, I'll go after the third time. Is the menu ready?"

Cao Huachun quickly took a list from the desk behind him, handed it to Zhu Xu and said, "According to the meaning of the replacement, there are a total of 81 dishes, all of which are famous dishes from all over the Ming Dynasty. The chefs have been invited into the palace from all over the place. It's all ready."

Zhu Xu looked at the menu, each name was poetic and full of meaning, just looking at the names, Zhu Xu had no idea what they were.

Speaking of which, Zhu Xu, the emperor, is also heartbreaking. I really don't have much to worry about, at least I haven't heard of most of the items on the menu.

After looking at it, Zhu Xu said: "Wine and dishes should be small, but they should be exquisite. The New Year's banquet needs atmosphere, not to eat wine and eat, just watch songs and dances, chat, and talk."

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

……

Ming people don't care much about the year, but it's not that they don't care, the first month is full of years, not to mention the most lively Lantern Festival of the year.

A year of turmoil, at this moment, in the eyes of many people, it is an end, an end, and a new beginning at the same time.
