The atmosphere in the palace also improved a lot. Although Hai Lanzhu died of a child and was in poor health, the birth of the emperor's son still made the harem very happy.

Zhu Xu, plus Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu, Zhu Ciye, Zhu Shuxian and other five children, as well as Empress Dowager Zhang, Xiao Yongning and others, sat at a table full.

Xiao Yongning is already 14 years old, she is a big girl, but her temper doesn't seem to have changed much, she is still so lively, hugging Zhu Cixiu who is in the swaddle, teasing: "Come on, give me a smile, I will give you something delicious... "

The little guy was only a few months old, so he couldn't understand, he just watched with wide eyes and dangling his little hands.

The little Shuxian next to him is already five years old, she leaned over and said: "Sister, you can't do this, you should take a piece of meat, Xiao Xie hasn't eaten meat before, she will definitely make him obedient..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Jieyu stared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Xier is too young to eat meat..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yongning was already holding a piece of meat, dangling in front of Xiao Xie'er, and said, "Come on, call me sister, I will give you meat..."

She was having a good time, frightened Zhang Yun beside her, put down her chopsticks, and stared at the two little girls.

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't stand it any longer, she took chopsticks to Xiao Yongning, and Xiao Shuxian said each other, "You two be more honest, put Xie'er back."

Xiao Yongning didn't know why, but recently she was a little afraid of Empress Dowager Zhang, she used to do things with her eyes closed, but now she was terrified with her eyes open and didn't dare.

Honestly put Xiao Xier back into the basket, and did not forget to give Zhang Yun a sweet smile.

Only then did Zhang Yun feel relieved, looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't eat much these two days, and the imperial doctor can't explain why, tell me, should I ask the doctor outside the palace to come and see? "

Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head with a smile, and said: "It's okay, I've read it, it's just eating too often, too much, eating six times a day is about the same, don't feed as soon as you wake up, the weather is warmer, just get more sunshine .”

Zhang Yun felt relieved a lot after hearing this, and turned to Li Jieyu and said, "Sister Li, the herbal diet you prepared is very good, and I feel much more comfortable."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. If you're still uncomfortable, I'll make a few more for you..." Li Jieyu said with a smile.

Zhang Yun naturally took it politely, thanking you again and again.

The topics of several women couldn't avoid children, and they talked endlessly.

Zhu Xu sat there, looking at the little guys beside him who were eating happily. He was a man here, and his heart was full of sorrow.

The willow shoots are on the moon, the wine and food are full, the family banquet in the Palace of Compassion and Ning is over, and they all return to the palace.

Zhu Xu drank some wine, his head was a little messed up, and on the way back to the Qianqing Palace, he was somewhat sobered by the cold wind, and he breathed out a long mouthful of alcohol, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

The Qi family governs the country, and his family is Qi.

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu, waited for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Bi Ge and others are going to the palace to face the saint tomorrow, why don't you rest early."

The cabinet has already formulated a major political plan for this year, and it will be officially reported tomorrow, with Zhu Xu's approval.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, looked at the dim snow scene on both sides, and said with a smile: "Okay, you worked hard last year, I will give you two days off and go back to reunite with your family. If you want to bring anything, you can take it from the warehouse, don't use it back. I."

This is also a common practice, Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin said without politeness, "Yes, slaves and servants thank the emperor."

Zhu Xu was in a good mood, didn't say much, and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

Outside the palace, at Bi Ziyan's residence.

Bi Ziyan is a rigid person, with him at the family banquet, it seems quite boring, he can see it clearly, find a reason, and have a drink with the moon in the gazebo.

"My lord is still worrying about state affairs?" A middle-aged man with elegant demeanor and starry eyes walked in with a broken plate and said with a smile.

Bi Ziyan looked up, his brows relaxed slightly, and he said, "It's boring in the room, come out and sit."

This person is another teacher of Bi Ziyan, Li Youtang, he put the side dishes on the table one by one, sat opposite to Bi Ziyan, said: "Student sit with the boss for a while."

Bi Ziyan attached great importance to this Mr. Xixi, or the doorman. Seeing him sitting down, he drank another glass of wine and said, "Last time you said that the reason why the emperor seems to favor the eldest prince is for the sake of his safety. You Are you sure that the future emperor will be a descendant?"

This matter has always been in Bi Ziyan's mind. In the final analysis, he is still worried about Zhu Xu, fearing that he will "make a good man but not a good man". Based on his understanding of Zhu Xu, he can be sure that this will happen!

If this is the case, it will definitely have an impact on the country, and it will also plant the seeds of disaster for the great Ming Dynasty in the future!

There are too many bloodstains in the history books, and the rules of the ancestors cannot be lost!

Li Youtang looked at Bi Ziyan's expression, and sighed softly in his heart, this old man is dedicated to the country, he is worried from morning to night, and he is not idle for a moment.

If you meet a gentle monarch, you must be a wise monarch, a good minister, and a good story for a generation.But today has gone beyond the category of "Ming", which makes the minister not so "virtuous".

He understood Bi Ziyan's worries, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, you have been with the current emperor for many years, and you know him better than the students. From the students' point of view, the current emperor is enough to be the number one hero in history. Capable and ambitious, if he hadn't encountered such a difficult country, he would have been in an unprecedented prosperous age! His ambition is not just as simple as being a wise king, he wants to create an unprecedentedly powerful Ming Dynasty, and his vision does not stop Yu Daming, he sees higher and farther! In addition to geography, he is also planning for the future, 50 years, 100 years, such ambitions are rare in all ages..."

Bi Ziyan knew about Li Youtang's words a long time ago, took a sip of wine silently, and said with a sad look in his eyes: "The emperor is very talented, and I am ashamed that I can't wait for the cabinet ministers. I am not worried about the present. I may not know everything in ten years' time You can see it. The emperor has the ability to build the most powerful country in the past and present, and also has the ability to defend it, but what about the monarchs and ministers in the future? You are also very clear about the current court situation. If you are not careful, the country will collapse, and the heroes will compete. disaster……"

Li Youtang poured wine for Bi Ziyan, said: "My lord, you worry too much, the emperor will not like it."

Li Youtang's meaning is very clear, Bi Ziyan should not worry about these things, he is worried about this, it sounds like he is old-fashioned and worried about state affairs.Slander can be said to be an attempt to misbehave, and its heart can be punished.

Bi Ziyan said: "It's not just a matter of a day or two that the emperor doesn't like me. Everyone in the civil and military courts doesn't know. Now that I'm about to retire, I still have to say something before I leave."

The news that Bi Shoufu was going to retire was widely rumored before the new year, and it became more and more serious after the new year. Rumors said that he would retire around March.

Chapter 1229 Shuffle

Li Youtang knew that Bi Ziyan not only wanted to talk, he might also make some arrangements and prepare for certain things.Most of these things are not liked today.

Li Youtang is well aware of Bi Ge's painstaking efforts, but now sitting too high and seeing some things too clearly, no matter how careful Bi Ziyan is, he may not be able to hide it from him.

Li Youtang understood Bi Ziyan's stubbornness, so he persuaded him: "My lord, you have always been lenient to your own people these days. As long as you don't do something that makes him intolerable, it is inevitable that the monarch and his ministers will live comfortably in their old age. If you do, I'm afraid It is difficult for the emperor to die well."

Bi Ziyan raised the wine glass in his hand, and said directly: "Fang Kongzheng will be transferred to the Minister of Rites, Chen Qiyu will be transferred to be the Governor of Jiangsu, Xu Jie will be transferred to be the Governor of Shuntian, Zheng Youyuan will be transferred to Nanzhili You to participate in politics, and you will be the Secretary of the Cabinet."

Listening to Bi Ziyan's words, Li Youtang knew that he was arranging in advance what he would do after he became an official. He thought about it and said, "Master, if you retire, Mr. Sun must not be far away. There are so many conflicts between Mr. Baiguge and your ideas." , if he becomes the Chief Assistant, the government may not be so stable."

Bi Ziyan looked up at the sky, the moonlight was extraordinarily cold this night, and the temperature was colder than usual, so he picked up another glass of wine and drank it down.

Li Youtang looked at Bi Ziyan, who never liked to drink, constantly, his expression finally became dignified, and he seriously advised: "My lord, you have to think twice, I have been patient with you today, if you cross certain limits , I am afraid that your years of accumulation will be wasted, and all these arrangements will disappear overnight and will be useless."

Bi Ziyan still didn't speak, just drinking silently.

Some words can be said to Li Youtang, but others cannot.

Li Youtang sighed inwardly, and said: "My lord, the future court situation depends on three people, one is Sun Chuanting, the other is Fu Changzong, and the other is Cao Wenzhao. The students should go to see Sun Baigu and feel his thoughts. At this time , presumably he will also confess to the adults."

"No need!"

Bi Ziyan suddenly put down his wine glass heavily, straightened his hunched body, then stood up, turned around and walked away, saying in a clear voice: "Do your own thing."

Li Youtang looked at Bi Ziyan's back with complicated eyes.

It is said that Bi Ziyan is enduring today, but Bi Ziyan is not enduring the present. The contradiction between the two people lies in the design of state affairs. In the whole world, who can stand as high as today and see far, think and think All very human.

He endured the "short-sightedness" of others, and others also tolerated his "short-sightedness".

After a long time, Li Youtang sighed lightly, and said to himself: "I hope the emperor will remember the old man's hard work for many years, and give him a decent result."
