Domineering Daming

Today's HNA, in fact, mostly relies on vitality, and any disturbance may cause a fleet to be wiped out silently.

If there is a strong wind, causing the fleet to leave the channel and go to an unknown place, it is normal for them to be lost and unable to return.

In short, traveling at sea is an extremely dangerous thing!

What made Zhu Xu feel a little relieved was that the Hongwu fleet was a huge fleet consisting of more than 100 ships, and was led by Europeans with rich sailing experience, so there should be nothing to worry about.

After such a careful calculation, Zhu Xu felt a burst of relief, picked up the chopsticks, and ate with Xiao Ciye.

The little guy doesn't pay much attention to other things, but he is never polite to food, and now he is a little chubby.

Although the items outside were not as exquisite as those made by the Imperial Dining Room, they had a different taste. Zhu Xu's taste was so wide open that he couldn't help but eat a little more.

After a while, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Shangshu and Shen Shangshu have all returned, do you want to meet?"

Cao Huachun was talking about Zhao Han, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Shen Xun, Minister of Rites, who also followed King Ping to Guihua City.

Zhu Xu waved his chopsticks and said, "No, let them write the memorandum for me to read. By the way, tomorrow, let them all go to the parliament on the second floor. When I meet these councilors, there are some things and some words that I have to teach." Teach them."

Cao Huachun responded, "Yes."

At the same time, the cabinet is really making troubles. Bi Ziyan, Prince Jing, Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting and others gathered together to discuss the draft that was rejected by the parliament.

Wang Qiaonian frowned, with an unhappy expression, and said, "What's the matter with this parliament? They dare to reject the reform agenda drawn up by the cabinet at will. They don't take the cabinet seriously at all!"

King Jing looked at Bi Ziyan, and said with a serious expression: "Recent appointments by the Governor's Council, including the governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, were all rejected by the parliament. They demanded that according to the regulations of the imperial court, they should be nominated by the localities, not appointed by the cabinet. .”

Sun Chuanting looked at Bi Ziyan and said nothing.Not one or two drafts were rejected by the cabinet. The councilors on the second floor had a lot of opinions on the cabinet's bill.They believe that these reform plans of the cabinet will hurt the hearts of the local people and be detrimental to the current situation.

Bi Ziyan's face sank like water, suppressing the anger in his heart, he said: "Aren't you going to treat them to dinner? Is it of no use at all?"

Standing not far away, Zheng Youyuan, the secretary of the cabinet, stepped forward and said: "My lords, these people don't take soft and hard, they are very stubborn, and it doesn't make sense. Some of them are Jinshi, Hanlin, seniority, and seniority of the Wanli Dynasty. They are all extremely high, and the lower officials can't go too far."

In fact, the imperial court is most afraid of such officials. They can't beat or scold them, and they have to endure their saliva. In the past, they had no power, but now they have power. If they insist on going to the end, the cabinet really can't help.

A look of anger also appeared on Prince Jing's face, and he said, "Didn't the emperor say that the cabinet should plan the powers of the council? We will greatly reduce the powers of the council, or increase the voting requirements, so that they can't seal our memorials!"

Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "These require the emperor's nod. Now we need to pass these policies as soon as possible. They were promulgated years ago, and the rumors have already been released. If they are delayed until the next year, it will damage the authority of the cabinet and shake the confidence of the 'New Deal'."

Just as Wang Qiaonian was about to speak, a guard hurried in, whispered something in Zheng Youyuan's ear, and then backed out.

Zheng Youyuan looked at Bi Ziyan and the others, and said: "The emperor has just delivered an edict from outside the palace. Tomorrow, a brief meeting will be held on the second floor. The cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries must be present."

Sun Chuanting immediately said: "The emperor must know about the cabinet matter, and he wants to help us solve it."

The cabinet's troubles are state affairs after all, and the Qianqing Palace will not sit idly by.

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly, and said: "Then wait for a day and talk about it tomorrow. By the way, the water transport said that there is 40 silver, when will it be collected?"

Sun Chuanting didn't expect Bi Ziyan to turn around suddenly, he pondered for a while, and said: "I'm already urging. The water transportation originally belonged to Guomao Temple, but now it belongs to the Water Transportation Department. I am preparing to carry out reforms, including Guomao Temple. We can't let them lie in the yamen Waiting for the money to be delivered to the door..."

Bi Ziyan heard that there was something in Sun Chuanting's words, but he didn't care about it. He believed in Sun Chuanting, then looked at King Jing and Wang Qiaonian, and said, "Get your affairs ready, find a time, and ask the emperor to preside over a cabinet meeting to discuss next year's affairs. The big thing is settled, we can't delay it."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

Seeing the end of the year, the summary of this year and the plan for next year must be sorted out as soon as possible.

Chapter 1124

Little Ciye had a round stomach, sitting on a chair, looking at Zhu Xu with a small face, a little innocent.

Zhu Xu smiled, asked Cao Huachun to pay the bill, and walked back with the little guy on his back.

The capital is very lively, and I don't know how many people followed Ping Wang and other people. Ping Wang, Zhao Han and others will also take the opportunity to brag about Zhu Xu's "Holy Candle Light", and then tell the people explicitly or secretly that Daming is How powerful, able to overcome all difficulties, and called on the people to support the "New Deal" of the imperial court.

When Zhu Xu returned to the palace, he had several newspapers in his hand, both official and non-governmental. Without exception, they all praised the court's "Soldiers That Don't Conquer Others" and praised Zhu Xu's foresight and sagacity. Magnificent martial arts.

When Zhu Xu returned to Qianqing Palace, little Ciye had already been asleep for a long time. Zhu Xu put him on the soft bed of the warm pavilion, covered him with a quilt, and continued to deal with his own government affairs.

At the end of the year, he had a lot of memorials. From the various departments at the prefect level, to the extension, and then to the court, he had nearly a hundred of them every day, endlessly, not to mention others.

What Zhu Xu was flipping through in his hand was the joint memorial of the 22nd Road Patrol Censor just sent by the cabinet, which described what he had seen and heard in the local area, especially the investigation of the "New Deal".

These memoirs of the censors are superficial and lackluster. They are all clichés, and there are very few new ones.

Even so, Zhu Xu still looked at it seriously. There are many details hidden in the sameness. Through these details, you can see some real features of the place.

Liu Shimin quietly changed Cao Huachun's shift and stood not far from Zhu Xuyu's desk.

Time passed unknowingly, until it was dark, Liu Shimin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting dark, do you want to eat?"

When Zhu Xu raised his head, his eyes turned black, and he had a terrible headache. It took him a long time to recover, and he took a deep breath, and said, "Hold the lamp, bring some porridge, by the way, is Ye'er awake?"

Liu Shimin said: "His Majesty woke up an hour ago, and has already walked back to Fengzao Palace by himself. The slaves have sent someone to take care of them, nothing happened."

Zhu Xu smiled, this little guy has found his way back now.

"Well, is there anything else?" Zhu Xu closed the notebook, leaned on the chair, and said while recovering.

Liu Shimin said: "Old Bi Ge from the cabinet, King Ping, and Zhao Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials came to ask for an audience, but the slaves and maidservants blocked them as ordered."

Zhu Xu nodded, said "Yes", squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the parliament first, and then I will go to the Ministry of Punishment. I will have a chat with Zhang Wenda."

"Yes, I will arrange it now." Liu Shimin said.

Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea beside him, and before he could take a sip, suddenly a maid from Kunning Palace hurried in, stood in front of the threshold, and said in a hasty voice with joy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go Kunning Palace, there is a happy event."

Zhu Xu was startled, and said, "What happy event?"

The maid pursed her lips, her pretty face was delighted, and she said, "Your Majesty said, please come over."

Zhu Xu looked at the maid, what kind of happy event can there be in the harem?

At this time Liu Shimin suddenly came to his senses, turned to Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Majesty, please move to Kunning Palace."

Seeing Liu Shimin's expression, Zhu Xu's heart skipped a beat, he threw away the cup in his hand, and strode out of Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Xu's wind was like a fire, Liu Shimin behind him, and the court ladies were also excited, and before he knew it, a large group of people followed behind him, flocking towards Kunning Palace.

When Zhu Xu arrived, the Kunning Palace was already full of people. Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu, and Xiao Yongning, Xiao Shuxian, and Xiao Ciye were all there, surrounding Zhang Yun, Laughing, chirping and talking about something.

Seeing Zhu Xu coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, walked directly towards Zhang Yun, and said excitedly, "Yes?"

Standing in front of Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun's pretty face was slightly red, her lips were pursed, and her eyes were full of joy.

Empress Dowager Zhang was the first to say: "The imperial doctor came to see it just now, not only the queen is happy, but also Hai Lanzhu."
