Domineering Daming

Cao Wenyao was a civil servant, not very conspicuous, he either worked as an official at the local level, or flowed up and down the political academy, he was not conspicuous in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, far inferior to his son and elder brother.

In the palace, Su Yinyin is also busy. Su Yinyin's hometown is in Shaanxi, and now she uses the palace as her natal family, and she is busy dressing up and preparing the dowry.

Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yun and others helped, which added a lot of joy to the harem.

The old concubine's spirit also improved, and she ate half a bowl of rice porridge, sober, and said a few words with a smile.

Two days later, in the cabinet hall, Bi Ziyan's class.

"What did you say, our draft was rejected by the council on the second floor?" Bi Ziyan's expression changed slightly, and he said in disbelief.

This national parliament is a substitute, because the governors of the provinces cannot stay in the capital for a long time, so these people are sent as representatives to "discuss the state affairs together."These people are all low-level officials with a clear name, how dare they veto the cabinet's draft?

Bi Ziyan frowned, his brows were like swords, and said coldly: "How did they veto it?"

Zheng Youyuan also couldn't believe it. This was the first time that the cabinet "followed the procedures" to consult the parliament's opinion, but it was rejected directly.

His face was condensed, and he said: "61 congressmen voted, and more than 50 voted against it. They gave an explanation, thinking that the cabinet's actions were too big and too impatient, which would easily cause turmoil in the local area, especially the uneasiness between the ruling and opposition officials. , it would do more harm than good to the 'New Deal', so it was vetoed and the cabinet was asked to amend it."

Bi Ziyan looked ugly, a group of junior officials dared to criticize their cabinet and teach them how to do things!

Bi Ziyan was anxious now, and he didn't pay attention to these people. He said in a gloomy and cold voice: "Go and call those who voted against to my classroom. I want to talk to them!"

Zheng Youyuan quickly glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is an anonymous vote, and the emperor wants us to respect the opinions of the local government. If we try to pressure, I am afraid that someone will go to the Qianqing Palace to file a complaint, and the matter will cause many twists and turns. .”

Bi Ziyan frowned slightly. They had to be cautious when it came to Zhu Xu. However, the draft they drafted could never be withdrawn or delayed. After a deep thought, Bi Ziyan said: "These are indeed of great importance to the local government. You need to be cautious. Let’s do this. Tonight, you invite 20 of them to a banquet. Tomorrow, invite Baigu to a banquet for [-] of them. Then please invite Prince Jing. Be sure to convince them... I will enter the palace later, and then I will discuss this council with the emperor. Make Parliament a place to block the 'New Deal' and constrain the Cabinet!"

Zheng Youyuan said: "Yes, I will do it now. By the way, Fu Changzong is about to enter Beijing, and Sun Ge will return to Beijing before the end of the year. Shall we do some welcome ceremony?"

Bi Ziyan didn't like these fake courtesies, so he said directly: "No need, Mr. Sun Ge is going back to Beijing, I will go to meet him in person, and Fu Changzong... I will go to meet him in person too!"

Zheng Youyuan looked surprised, and immediately realized something, and said: "Yes, I obey the order."

Chapter 1118 Chaotic authority

Fengzao Palace.

Early in the morning, before Zhu Xu got dressed, Li Jieyu came in from outside, combed his clothes, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's snowing outside."

Zhu Xu put on his clothes, came out, stood at the door, looked at the huge snowflakes floating outside, a thick layer on the ground, and said happily: "It probably fell last night, and the snow came later this year. Where are Ye'er and Shuxian?"

Li Jieyu smiled and said, "Ye'er is already awake and is putting on clothes. Shuxian is afraid of the cold, so she refuses to get up and is pretending to be asleep."

"Go and pull them all out. Let's cook hot pot. It's been a long time." Zhu Xu looked at Xue, feeling extremely happy.

Although there were only three women in Zhu Xu's harem, he was too busy with government affairs and didn't spend much time in the harem, especially Zhang Yun, who went there a lot. Li Jieyu and Hai Lanzhu were all "left out".

Hearing Zhu Xu's words, Li Jieyu was also excited, he pursed his lips and smiled in response, and walked towards the palace.

Not long after, little Ci Ye, who was dressed thickly and looked like a little rice dumpling, walked out, behind Zhu Xu, raised his head and said, "Father."

Zhu Xu pulled him over and said, "Well, let's have hot pot this morning."

The little guy blinked and followed Zhu Xu, looking at the snow outside.

This little guy surprised Zhu Xu with his calmness. Seeing that he didn't rush out like an ordinary child, he smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Xiao Shuxian, pushed by Li Jieyu, came out very reluctantly, with her head tucked into her hat, she came to Zhu Xu's side, and said in a muffled voice, "Father."

There was still grievance in the tone, and the whole person shrank into a ball.

Zhu Xu laughed. Seeing that the small hot pot outside had been set up, he hugged the two little guys over and said, "The weather is fine, why don't you sleep late, and my father will play with you in the snow later."

Xiao Ciye looked indifferent, but Xiao Shuxian quit, holding Zhu Xu's arm tightly, and screamed: "No, sleep..."

Zhu Xu ignored her, smiled and pressed the two little guys on his legs, sat on the chair, and looked at the small hot pot that was gradually boiling.

Standing opposite, Li Jieyu took care of her carefully. She was very familiar with Zhu Xu's preferences, and said while doing it, "Ye'er, Shuxian, play for a while, don't sleep too much, you will get fat..."

Little Ciye was used to picking up the chopsticks, but it was Xiao Shuxian who pressed her small face into Zhu Xu's arms, her hands tucked together, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Holding the chopsticks, Zhu Xu saw that a piece of tofu was cooked, so he picked it up, put it in a bowl, dipped it in the sauce, and said, "Teacher Ye'er, the cabinet has selected a new scholar, Wang Yetai, He is Uncle Xinjian's son, and it is said that his studies are not bad."

The title of Uncle Xinjian, Wang Shouren, also known as Wang Yangming, has been passed down to the present.It is worth mentioning that Wang Yetai's grandfather is Wang Chengen, the eunuch next to Zhu Youjian.

Li Jieyu was quite pleased when he heard it. Uncle Xinjian, the Wang family has a special status in Daming. After all, Wang Yangming’s literary and martial arts are second to none in Daming. Hundreds of years ago, there was no match for it!

If Zhu Ciye had such a teacher, not to mention future achievements, the current influence is enough to show that Zhu Xu values ​​it.

Li Jieyu's pretty face was full of smiles, and he said: "My concubine, on behalf of Ye'er, thanked the emperor."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, smiled and looked down at the little guy, only to see that the little guy had already reached out to pick up the tofu, turned his head to look at Xiao Shuxian who was buried in Zhu Xu's arms, and said, "Sister."

Xiao Shuxian turned her head to take a look, then buried her head in Zhu Xu's arms, and arched her head vigorously.

The little guy then put it into his mouth and ate it in small bites.

Zhu Xu's eyes moved slightly, he picked up the chopsticks, took out another piece of meat, dipped it in sauce, and put it in a bowl.

The little guy looked at it, waited for a while, and then stretched out his little hand to take it.

Just like before, I called Xiao Shuxian.

Seeing that Xiao Shuxian was indifferent, she ate it by herself.

Zhu Xu was very satisfied and gave him a few more pieces.

After Li Jieyu was done with it, he quickly came over and took Xiao Shuxian away, saying: "Your Majesty, you can eat first, and you will go to the court later, and the two children will be handed over to the concubine."

Xiao Shuxian grabbed Li Jieyu and threw herself into her arms, refusing to come out desperately.

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, picked up the chopsticks, drank the rice wine, and watched the snow. This early morning was quite pleasant.

Not long after eating, Cao Huachun came in and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Your Majesty, King Ping and others are expected to arrive in Beijing today, and King Ezhe of Shunping and some Mongolian princes and envoys will also enter Beijing one after another. There may be more people... "

Zhu Xu chewed a piece of fish, and suddenly said: "These fish are all caught by the fishermen in Tianjin Wei. The meat is delicious, very good, and the output is quite large. When they enter Beijing, let the imperial dining room make them a whole fish feast. At that time, I will go with Mr. Bige and others."

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's profile, paused, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to welcome you?"

Zhu Xu picked up a few green vegetables for Xiao Ciye, and said, "Well, let Sun Baigu and Prince Jing go, by the way, Cao Bianjiao will also go together."

Cao Huachun was taken aback, Sun Chuanting, he can understand that King Jing is going, what is Cao Bianjiao going to do?

Although he was puzzled, Cao Huachun still said: "Yes. Lord Fu, Governor Cao is expected to arrive in Beijing today or tomorrow, do you need to make arrangements?"

"It's all a long journey, and the road is closed due to heavy snow. Let them rest for a while when they return to Beijing, and let them enter the palace after a day." Zhu Xu said while eating.

Cao Huachun responded, then hesitated to speak.
