Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu stood up, looked outside, and said: "Don't talk about Yongning, I can't help but want to go to participate. How about this, let people prepare bows and arrows in the back, the target, I, Yongning have both been to enjoy it, Jing Waiting for their results."

Cao Huachun responded, and said, "Yes, I'm going to prepare now, slave."

In the side hall, the atmosphere was polarized. One part of the people ate and drank and couldn't wait, while the other part was relatively dull.

Bi Ziyan and the others exchanged a few simple greetings, then stood aside, facing each other dullly, not to glance at you at the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Ciye, sitting in front of them.

The great majesty was calm, sitting there with a calm face, holding a spoon, and eating slowly.

This His Majesty has nothing to criticize, at such a young age, it is very rare.

But he is not the empress of the middle palace, not the legitimate son!

Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chengzong beside him, and said in a low voice: "I think we still have to talk to the emperor again."

The country is the most important at any time, and it is especially critical when the vigorous reforms of the Ming Dynasty have too much influence!

Sun Chengzong murmured, and said: "The empress is about to give birth, let's have a look first, there is no need to worry."

Just as Bi Ziyan was about to speak, he saw a Ryukyu official who was accompanying him come forward and toast His Royal Highness.

The eldest prince held up the tea cup in a dignified manner, replaced the wine with tea, and said something, which made the Ryukyu official smile and left happily.

Bi Ziyan sighed softly and said, "I have to be in a hurry."

Sun Chengzong hesitated for a while, and did not speak again.

An hour later, the crowd gathered in the open field. More than 100 people rode horses and carried bows, looking straight at Zhu Xu.

Another group of people stood behind Zhu Xu, looking at the more than 100 people with calm eyes and anticipation.

These people are not very old, most of them come from prominent families, and some of them are talents who have been cultivated quietly. They are all riding horses, with immature faces, full of anticipation.

Bang!

"start!"

Zhu Xu shouted in a deep voice while developing the gun.

In an instant, the sound of rolling horseshoes sounded, and more than 100 young people turned their horses around and rushed into the forest not far away, snoring, excited, and waving their big bows.

Zhu Xu watched the group rush into the forest, smiled at Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and the others asked, "How about it, do you like anyone?"

Bi Ziyan didn't speak, but Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, it's too early to say, so let's look at it in a few years."

Zhu Xu glanced at these ministers, paused, and suddenly said: "I haven't played chess with Master Bi for a long time, it's rare that I have time, how about our next game?"

Although it was a big hunt this time, for these elders, it was more like a vacation.

Knowing Zhu Xu's chess strength, Bi Ziyan responded with a smile, and a group of people followed inside.

When Zhu Xu and the others were playing chess, Xiao Yongning and the princes including Xiao Ciye were shooting arrows behind them. They were all special small bows and arrows. Except for Xiao Yongning who was unhappy, everyone else was very happy.

Li Jieyu was looking at the children, Cixuan and Ciyi, but she didn't care, she kept looking at Ciye, her brows were still furrowed.

She has followed Zhu Xu the longest and knows him best, so it's not that simple to value little Ci Ye so much.

The battle in the harem, apart from the fight for favor, is the battle for the crown prince. Ci Ye is the eldest son of the emperor. Although Daming is the eldest son succession system, looking at the whole of Daming, how many are the eldest sons who succeed the throne?

But the empress, the emperor is too young, the empress is about to give birth, no matter whether this is true or not, if there is a prince born in the future, how will Ciye deal with himself?What do you think of the queen?

The bloody storm in the harem, the scourge of Xiao Qiang, some terrifying scenes flashed before Li Jieyu's eyes.

Li Jieyu was full of worries, but there was nothing he could do about it. She couldn't let this matter go, and even the adults outside couldn't let it go.

Little Ciye slowly set up the bow and shot the arrow. Before shooting the arrow, he turned his head to look at Li Jieyu. Seeing her frowning, he immediately put down the bow and arrow, walked over, looked at her, blinked, and said: "Mother, you What's wrong?"

Li Jieyu looked at him, his complex eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, you can play, mother and concubine go to see your father."

Little Ciye's face lost a little of the cuteness of the past, and he looked more silent. Seeing Li Jieyu's body, he blinked.

In the hall, Zhu Xu and Bi Ziyan were playing chess, a group of cabinet elders and the adults of the cabinet were watching, and everyone was able to watch the chess without saying a word.

Because they could all see that Mr. Bi Ge was guiding a game of chess, and His Majesty's chess strength really couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Bi Ziyan used to play this kind of guiding chess with Zhu Xu before. Looking at Zhu Xu's stagnant chess strength, he said: "Your Majesty, the way of chess is not to fight for the gains and losses of one corner. The starting move must be beautiful, the layout must be grand, The ending has to be sharp..."

Zhu Xu bent down, stared at the chessboard, and said again and again: "What Master Bi said is true, I have written it down..."

As he spoke, he filled the chessboard with black chess pieces to find a place.

The other grown-ups looked at their noses, their noses, and their hearts, and they all had a strange thought in their hearts.

Today's great talent and strategy, the military and political aspects are majestic and intertwined. If it weren't for the end, they would not be able to see the purpose clearly, but how come they are like a child in the well-understood way of Go, and they can't stand it anymore.

Bi Ziyan cooperated with Zhu Xu and kept the situation in a stalemate. At the same time, he said: "Your Majesty, Wen Tiren has done a good job in Shaanxi and has a very good reputation. I plan to transfer him to Beijing next year to serve as the Minister of Rites."

The imperial court seems to be full of talents now, but there are so many places to use them, especially when there is only one assistant minister in the cabinet, Wen Tiren's sudden transfer to Beijing is a very obvious arrangement.

"Not in a hurry."

Zhu Xu slammed down, and said confidently: "Li Banghua and Fang Kongxuan are the priority, and the others are in the back."

Zhu Xu didn't know about it, but this Wen Tiren was good at superficiality. Now it seems that Bi Ziyan was also deceived.

But immediately Zhu Xu frowned slightly, and glanced at the other adults who were standing. These people did not object, and even opened their mouths.

He turned his eyes to Bi Ziyan, and secretly laughed in his heart, he was almost swayed by Bi Ziyan.

With Bi Ziyan's move, he was afraid that he wanted to rise up and fall down secretly, so that Wen Tiren would be completely cooled, but he was just not sure, so he came to test it.

Chapter 1179 Two Children Fighting

Seeing Zhu Xu's quick veto, Bi Ziyan thought about it, and said again: "Your Majesty, the 'New Deal' seems to be advancing rapidly, but in fact there are many difficulties. Recently, there have been some voices from the government and the opposition. The fact of the opposition is complicated, and I hope that Zhou Yingqiu will enter the cabinet as soon as possible, accelerate the promotion of the 'New Deal', and curb the noise."

Zhu Xu is still looking for a position on the chessboard. This small chessboard is ever-changing. Even though he has been playing for many years, his chess skills have not improved much. Compared with these decades of chess masters, he is still far behind.

Zhu Xu didn't seem to have heard Bi Ziyan's words, and said: "Wo Kingdom is speeding up the ban on the sea and the country. Shimabara has been completely blocked, and the Satsuma domain in Kagoshima is also facing each other. The sea is also slowly being blocked. You guys What do you think?"

Bi Ziyan and the others were more focused on the country, and they looked at each other unconsciously when they heard the words.

Bi Ziyan calmed down slowly and said: "Your Majesty, since the matter of the Wa Kingdom has been decided, I think it will be fine for the time being. The 'New Deal' has come to this juncture, and we need to go all out and not be distracted."

Holding the chess piece, Zhu Xu said calmly, "Dorgon has received 3 people from Huang Taiji, and his strength has greatly increased. What do you think, facing Siam, what do you think the odds are?"

Bi Ziyan was helpless with Zhu Xu's persistence, and looked at the chessboard without saying a word.

Sun Chengzong turned sideways, pondered, and said: "Your Majesty, Dorgon's army might be as high as [-]. The Siamese have internal strife and endless internal strife. If Dorgon makes good use of it, he has a good chance of winning."
