Domineering Daming

Empress Dowager Zhang watched Zhang Yun leave the Palace of Compassion and Ning, frowned and said to Zhu Xu: "Why don't you accompany me, the Empress has only entered the palace for the second day."

Naturally, Zhu Xu knew that Zhang Yun deliberately gave him time to talk with Queen Mother Zhang, and he was very satisfied, saying: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there will be plenty of time in the palace in the future, let's eat, I haven't eaten since yesterday what."

Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head. Although her heart was complicated, she was relieved that she would no longer have to work hard for His Majesty the Emperor in front of her.

"Uncle Huang, you are in trouble, Madam Li must be upset..." the little girl gloated and smiled with a big chicken leg between her legs.

Zhu Xu grabbed the chicken leg decisively, and said lightly: "Be more honest in the palace from now on, I will let the empress watch over you."

The little girl watched the chicken leg being bitten into her mouth by Zhu Xu, gritted her teeth, and groaned twice.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at it and sighed, and said helplessly to Zhu Xu: "You, you are married, don't continue to mess around like this, be more cautious..."

Zhu Xu chuckled, and said: "Yes, I heard from the emperor's wife...the queen has just entered the palace, and there are still many places to work for the emperor's wife, please ask the emperor's wife to teach her a lot."

The Empress Dowager Zhang naturally didn't talk too much, she looked at Zhu Xu and said, "You don't need to talk about things in the harem, go to the Qing Palace, the ministers of the outer court are waiting."

Zhu Xu ate a few mouthfuls whole, wiped his mouth, and said: "Okay, then I'm leaving, sister-in-law pay attention to rest, it's cold again for a while."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and watched Zhu Xu leave with unclear eyes.

The little girl looked at Empress Dowager Zhang's expression, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Mother, you have never cared about others so much, you must have picked me up, and the emperor uncle is your own..."

Empress Dowager Zhang's complexion changed, she picked up the chopsticks and hit the little girl's head, scolding: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense like this from now on!"

The little girl rubbed her head, her face was full of displeasure.

Zhu Xu left the Compassionate Ning Palace, instead of going to the Qianqing Palace, he made a detour to the Kunning Palace.After all, he was still a little worried about Zhang Yun.This empress has just entered the palace and is still very immature.

Zhu Xu entered quietly without disturbing anyone, and appeared behind the side door of the main hall of Kunning Palace.

"The concubine sees the empress empress, empress Qianqiu."

Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

Although the person sitting there was younger than them, they knew very well that this person would be their future "superior boss". If they wanted to live a more relaxed life in the palace, she would never offend her.

Zhang Yun was dressed in plain clothes, sitting dignifiedly, looked at the two people below, blinked slightly, looked at the maid next to her, and said: "Show the seats for the two elder sisters, and help elder sister Hai to get up."

Li Jieyu remained expressionless, and respectfully "Thank you, Madam".

Hai Lanzhu's expression was more grateful, and she stood up cautiously with her big belly.

Zhang Yun looked at the two, smiled and said crisply: "From now on, when the two sisters come to my place, they don't need to be notified, and they don't need big gifts in general. We are all a family, and the big rules can be saved."

Li Jieyu looked at Zhang Yun with somewhat surprised eyes.She is not an ordinary woman who has never seen the world, and secretly feels that the empress's simple words are amazing.

Zhang Yun watched the two of them sit down, and smiled affectionately: "Sister Li has to take care of Ciye and Shuxian, working hard on weekdays. Sister Hai is about to give birth, so don't be careless. Let me see tonight, if the emperor gets I'm empty, the two sisters come to Kunning Palace to eat together. From now on, let's make a rule that we will have dinner with the emperor at what time every ten days. There are only three of us in the palace. I will also discuss with the emperor about sleeping. Don't worry if I enter the palace, the emperor will neglect anyone..."

Zhu Xu listened outside, his brows twitched, secretly feeling that his wife didn't need him to worry at all, so he left quietly.

"I don't need to worry about the harem, let's go to Qianqing Palace!" Zhu Xu said confidently after leaving Kunning Palace.

Cao Huachun followed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to change into the dragon robe?"

Zhu Xu strode forward and said, "No, just chat casually."

Cao Huachun's face moved slightly, he vaguely felt that today's emperor is a little different.

Zhu Xu walked out from the side door of Qianqing Palace, and a group of officials in the palace bowed down in unison, saying: "I wait to see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Xu didn't sit on the dragon chair, but stood in front of the stairs, looked at a group of people, and said with a loud smile, "Everyone is free of courtesy, just be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." A group of people stood up.

Zhu Xu glanced over the crowd, the five ministers in the cabinet, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, King Jing, Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting, Six Ministers, Shen Yongmao, Zhang Bingwen, Zhao Han, Zhang Wenda, Xu Dahua, Shen Xun, and then There are some big officials outside the capital, Fu Changzong, the prime minister of the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhou Yingqiu, the prime minister of Liaodong, governors of He and Bei, Chen Qiyu, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Li Banghua, governor of Shaanxi, Fang Kongxuan of Jiangsu, etc., more than 20 people.

Zhu Xu smiled and walked down the stairs, saying: "This palace is a bit boring, let's go, let's go to the cabinet."

More than 20 people were slightly startled, did not speak, stepped out of the way, and followed behind Zhu Xu.

After leaving the main hall of Qianqing Palace and crossing the Golden Bridge, in the middle of the royal road, a national flag fluttered in the wind, surrounded by guards standing with awe-inspiring expressions.

Zhu Xu led a group of adults to the front, looked up at the flag, and said, "One day, I want this world to be filled with this flag!"

The group of adults behind Zhu Xu felt their hearts skip a beat, their faces became tense, and they stared at Zhu Xu's back with flickering eyes.

Before they could speak, Zhu Xu had already stepped forward, heading towards the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong stood side by side, looked at each other, their faces were slightly condensed, and quickly followed Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu led a group of people to the cabinet.

The cabinet has changed a lot now. It has been dismantled and repaired. The decoration is not a cabinet class room at all, but more like a huge conference room.

In the north, there is a very special high platform, equipped with dragon chairs, imperial table, which obviously belonged to Zhu Xu, and in front of it are nine tables, which belonged to the ministers of the cabinet.In front is a high table, semi-circular, obviously for people to stand and talk, and in front, is a huge semi-circle composed of tables and chairs, divided into four parts.

Zhu Xu stood at the door, looked around, walked in with a smile, leaned on a chair, and said loudly: "Not bad, very good!"

A group of adults are a bit inexplicable. Today's emperor seems to be quite different. He is not as "repulsive" as in the past. Now he doesn't seem to talk much, but he has a strange sense of intimacy.

Chapter 959 Irony

Looking at this brand-new meeting room, Zhu Xu could already see images of officials making proposals, debating, quarrelling, voting, etc. here in the future.

Thinking about it, I felt a little excited, Zhu Xu turned his head, looked at the people behind him, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

The group of people behind Zhu Xu were either high-ranking officials of the imperial court or officials of the feudal border. They were a little unclear after hearing Zhu Xu's words.

It was really hard for them to understand such an arrangement, although they already had a premonition that the emperor was planning something.

A group of people were silent.

Bi Ziyan glanced at the others, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have discussed with you ministers many times, and there have been many differences, which still need to be decided by the Emperor."

Zhu Xu glanced at Bi Ziyan, and then glanced at the faces of Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Fang Kongxuan, Li Banghua and others. The expressions of these people were solemn at first, and then they lowered their heads slightly.

Zhu Xu smiled, turned to Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun Ge, how are the preparations for the big performance going? Has the date been fixed yet?"

Sun Chengzong's expression moved slightly, he reacted for a while, and said: "Back to the emperor, everything has been moved to Jingdong Daying, and it is scheduled to be five days later, on the 25th."

Zhu Xu patted the chair with his left hand, thought for a while, and said, "Then it's 25. In the next few days, the cabinet will discuss with you adults again, and if there are major differences, report to me."

"Yes." Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong responded with strange expressions.The Majesty in front of him is really different today, he is too talkative, which makes them feel uneasy.

Judging from past experience, whenever there is a major event, the emperor will be extremely calm, like a beast quietly waiting for its prey. Now the emperor is too calm, which makes them uneasy. After all, all kinds of major events are imminent!

Zhu Xu looked at the conference room again, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes. Let's leave today, uncle is coming with me, by the way, Zhou Aiqing is also coming."
