Domineering Daming

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Zhu Xu put down his teacup, stood up and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace."

Cao Huachun immediately ordered someone to drive him to Kunning Palace, the queen's residence.

At the same time, the elders of the outer court who were out of the palace lost the energy of arguing in the past few days. They either sat alone and thought hard, or quietly gathered together to discuss in twos and threes, and some even went back directly, picked up the notebook and started writing. Quick book.

These grown-ups were so rare that they did not argue endlessly, and all the departments of the imperial court could finally relax a bit.

Chapter 975 No Right or Wrong

Daming is about to perform a big martial arts performance. Although this kind of martial arts performance has been experienced twice, there are still many people who don't understand it. They want to take another look and have an intuitive feeling of the true power of this country called "China".

Among them, Chahar, Waguo and Myanmar are the most concerned.

Chahar is threatening to unify Mongolia, reproduce the great cause of Genghis Khan, wantonly annex his own factions and surrounding tribes, and constantly challenge the rules set by Ming Dynasty.Now that the Ming Dynasty has heard the news that they can't bear it and are about to crusade, they naturally can't be careless.

Wa Kingdom, since Ming Dynasty interfered with the Satsuma clan's occupation of Ryukyu, even forged a grudge, but because of the internal instability of the Wa country, especially the Satsuma clan's fall to Daming, the Tokugawa shogunate was shocked. When preparing to crusade, the Shimabara Rebellion broke out. The Eight Kingdoms of the Kyukoku Island were powerless to suppress it. In addition, the Satsuma clan fanned the flames and assisted secretly. The Tokugawa shogunate had mobilized tens of thousands of troops, but it still failed to extinguish it.All of this was blamed on Daming, that's why there was the "declaration of war" credential that clamored to attack North Korea and attack Daming last time.

Therefore, they are also eager to know how the current national strength of Ming Dynasty is, and whether it is capable of further interfering in the affairs of the Nine Kingdoms.

The last one is Myanmar. This country has fought against Daming for decades, nearly half a century. Now it is in internal turmoil and torn apart. In addition, Daming has "recovered" Annan, and it is making frequent moves on the southeast peninsula. Take a peek.

Of course, other countries do not pay attention to it. Siam, Nanzhang, North Korea, Ryukyu, Horqin and other state leaders and envoys are all waiting. The prosperity of Ming Dynasty can effectively protect them. They are all facing threats now. The reality And eager.

These kings and envoys couldn't wait to watch it, because according to the procedure, after the martial arts performance, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would have a banquet to entertain them. They wanted to present His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty with many questions to find out the real intention of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War are the busiest at the moment. Except for the heads of state and imperial envoys who want to visit the Great Martial Arts Performance, all the civil and military officials in the capital can participate on their own, except those who are forced to go. All the "tops" will be in attendance!

Daming has never had such a grand event!

The Ministry of Etiquette is arranging the ceremony in detail, who will go, how to go, how to go, etc. It is terribly cumbersome, but it has to be meticulous.

The Ministry of War was more cautious, mobilizing heavy troops, starting from the capital, along the road with three steps, one post, and five steps, one sentry, stretching for more than ten miles, leading directly to the Jingdong camp, in a solemn and solemn formation.

The other four films are not idle either, there are too many things to do, even if their brains are now one head and two big.

Cining Palace.

Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun, Empress Dowager Zhang, and Xiao Yongning surrounded the table. In the middle of the table was a steaming hot pot and various home-cooked dishes.

The little girl blushed, stood up, took chopsticks, and searched for food all over the table.

"Xiangjun, here you are."

"Sister Huan'er, here you are."

"It's for you, eat it quickly."

The little girl is very good at buying people's hearts now, holding a small bowl and filling it up one by one.

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to the little girl, and looked at Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun, feeling very satisfied, so that they were like a family.

"It's just missing a child."

Empress Dowager Zhang thought to herself, glanced at Zhang Yun's stomach calmly, smiled and said to Zhu Xu: "Don't go to the concubine's side, I just saw it, there is no serious problem, just caught a cold, rest for a while and you will be fine .”

Zhu Xu picked up a bowl of food for Zhang Yun, looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Well, I can rest assured that the emperor's wife is taking care of me. I'd better take a walk with the empress later, so I can take a look and feel at ease."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded, watching the little girl squeeze around her with chopsticks, frowned, grabbed her by the ear, sat down on the stool, and said angrily: "Be honest, call me again." For other ghost ideas, see how I deal with you."

The little girl pouted, her face full of grievances.

Holding the bowl given by Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun blushed pretty and sat dignifiedly without interrupting.She has not yet integrated into such an atmosphere, and has been observing curiously with her eyes wide open.

Zhu Xu ate a few mouthfuls, looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, how is your health recently?"

In this case, Zhu Xu would ask many times every year, but Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care, and said, "It's okay, as long as this girl pissed me off a few times, it won't be a big problem."

Zhu Xu turned to look at Xiao Yongning, and said, "What did you do again?"

The little girl sat upright, and said coquettishly to Zhu Xu, "Uncle Emperor, I am very good, I have finished reading the female ring."

Zhu Xu didn't believe her, and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang, who frowned sullenly, unwilling to say more, Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Yun who was beside her.

Zhang Yun glanced at Xiao Yongning, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "The princess was riding a horse in the palace, and almost lost control and fell off, which frightened the empress."

After saying this, she said again: "The concubine has already discussed with the princess, and she promised to let me know when she will ride a horse in the future."

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, this girl's ghostly idea followed one after another, how could Zhang Yun be able to resist it, he thought about it in his heart, and said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "Sister-in-law, there is a group banquet after the martial arts performance, I wanted to invite the concubine Let the emperor's sister-in-law go to show up together and give a blessing. Now the concubine and the emperor's sister-in-law are not feeling well. Why don't we let Yongning go, and a boy from the fifth brother's family will also go. In this way, our royal family basically It's all over."

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't understand Zhu Xu's consideration, but she knew that it was an important matter outside, she looked at Xiao Yongning, and said with a calm face: "Tomorrow is the emperor, the important matter of the court, if you continue to mess around, you will never let me go lightly!"

The little girl had a solemn face, and said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "The empress mother taught me, and I have written it down."

Although the little girl spoke seriously, Zhu Xu clearly felt the light of excitement in her eyes.

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth tickled quietly, and he gave Zhang Yun a few more dishes, saying: "Tomorrow you also have to go together, wearing formal clothes, it may be a little harder."

Zhang Yun turned sideways lightly, and said: "The concubine is fine."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, thinking in his heart, if Ciye wasn't so young, it would be appropriate to take him with him.

Putting these aside, Zhu Xu, Empress Dowager Zhang and the others began to eat, talking about their family's gossip.

Zhang Yun's pretty face didn't move, and she was secretly surprised in her heart. It turned out that the emperor and the empress dowager's family ate like this, and it was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.

Not long after, Cao Huachun came in, first saluted everyone, and then whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "The emperor, the cabinet, the six departments and all the governors are asking for an audience outside the palace."

Zhu Xu was startled, turned his head and said, "What's the matter with them?"

Cao Huachun said: "Old Bi Ge said that they wanted to understand what the emperor said, so they came here to apologize."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, no matter whether they really figured it out or were dealing with errands, he definitely couldn't go to meet them at this time, the time to belittle the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and promote him as an emperor has passed, and the confidence of the officials can no longer be hit.

"Bring me the memorial and tell them all to go back. There is no right or wrong in the pursuit of national affairs. Forms and methods have pros and cons. Just think clearly." Zhu Xu thought for a while before saying.

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

Chapter 976

Outside the Qianqing Palace, at the boundary between the inner court and the inner court, a group of high-ranking civil and military officials listened to the inner eunuch's message, and their expressions were slightly relaxed.

They have already represented the highest level of the Ming Dynasty. If the emperor lectured them on "moral" issues in public, everyone would be ashamed, and there would be no one who would resign in "ashamedness".

At this time, any disturbance would have an unpredictable impact on the court situation. Fortunately, the emperor in the palace was still sensible and did not prevent them from stepping down.

Bi Ziyan and the others had discussed with the governors before, this time he looked calm, and said in a rather spring breeze: "Tomorrow is a big martial arts performance, and the emperor will probably be busy for a few days, let's discuss it again. If it is settled, the affairs of the state should not be neglected because of us."
