Domineering Daming

Bi Ziyan knew that Zhu Xu was giving him a chance, and Jingzhong basically did not hinder him.

Bi Ziyan didn't move, he murmured, and said: "The last one is safe, does the emperor have any arrangements for the cabinet ministers?"

Zhu Xu looked at her and said, "Zhou Yingqiu is one and the other is. I'm considering Shen Xun or Xu Dahua."

Bi Ziyan frowned slightly, and said: "Xu Dahua will be able to serve as an official next year. Shen Xun has more than ability but not enough courage. I'm afraid he won't be able to help Sun Baigu."

Zhou Yingqiu has been Minister of the Ministry of Officials for many years, and has been in Liaodong for many years. His qualifications and ability are sufficient. In addition, he is one of the two leaders of the imperial party. His entry into the cabinet is undisputed.

But Bi Ziyan was not optimistic about Xu Dahua and Shen Xun.

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Then who does Master Bi think is suitable?"

Bi Ziyan looked up at Zhu Xu, and said, "I belong to Fang Kongxuan. This man has a graceful demeanor, a grand demeanor, and the style of being a leader and assistant."

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and thought about it.

Fang Kongzheng did have the style of a general, good ability, and rich experience. The only thing he lacked was that his rank was a bit low now, and he was the Minister of Rites.

This was Bi Ziyan's last request, Zhu Xu pondered for a while, and said: "How about this, I will let Shen Xun succeed Zhang Wenda, the prime minister of the six provinces of Shaanxi and Sichuan, and Fang Kongzheng take over as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then Zhou Yingqiu, the prime minister of Liaodong , in about three years, you can join the cabinet."

Bi Ziyan listened, stood up, knelt down and worshiped: "I thank the emperor for your kindness!"

Zhu Xu sighed softly in his heart, got up to help him up, and said: "Go back and rest, if you need anything, just call me."

Bi Ziyan was naturally full of emotion in his heart. To have such a monarch, even though he died, he would have no regrets!

"Resignation." Bi Ziyan solemnly raised his hand.

Zhu Xu watched Bi Ziyan leave, feeling completely relieved.This old man has been in the court for many years and has a deep prestige. If he is "willful", Zhu Xu will have a headache.

Fortunately, this old man understands righteousness and knows how to advance and retreat, which makes Zhu Xu very pleased and admired.

After Bi Ziyan left, only Zhu Xu and Zhang Rongyu were left in the side hall.

Zhang Rongju stood tremblingly behind Zhu Xu, lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

He heard too many things today, and these were all things that he couldn't reach and desired, but right now, he was completely unqualified.

However, the emperor and Shoufu let him hear it, and they didn't mean to let him go from the beginning to the end.

Why is that?

Zhang Rongyu has been thinking about this question, and the back of his panic is already soaked.

Zhu Xu withdrew his thoughts, turned his head and glanced at him, and said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Rongju raised his head to look at Zhu Xu, met Zhu Xu's gaze, immediately lowered his head again, and said, "I dare not think about it."

Zhu Xu took another look at him, turned around and sat back.

This Zhang Rongju belongs to the category of "aspirations that have not been rewarded", but his eyes are high and his hands are low, and he is half the head of the country, so he is very good at winning people's hearts.

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and said, "Do you want to understand why you were expelled?"

Although Zhang Rongyu has great eyesight and low abilities, he is definitely a smart person. Even if he can't figure it out for such a long time, someone will tell him.

He knelt down with a plop, and said: "I am confused, I almost hurt the empress, Your Highness."

Zhu Xu shook his head in disappointment, and said, "It seems that you still don't understand, go ahead."

Zhang Rongyu was stunned, but still couldn't figure it out, so he got up and said, "Your Excellency will leave."

"Write me a detailed memorial about the general chamber of commerce." Zhang Rongxuan turned around, and Zhu Xu said again.

Zhang Rongju hurriedly turned around and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu was really disappointed with this Zhang Rongju. He just couldn't see the general situation clearly, and he didn't even know how to avoid the basic taboos. Just now, he talked about "political morality" with Bi Ziyan for a long time, but this person didn't understand at all.

Cao Huachun came in and said, "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou has been stationed ten miles away. The government soldiers have already made adjustments, and Commander Cao will monitor them. There should be no serious problems."

Zhu Xu glanced at him, couldn't help but smiled and said: "Don't think that Lu Xiangsheng is a fool. He can get news from thousands of miles away and send Hong Chengchou to rescue him. He doesn't understand what's wrong? He doesn't worry? Don't do anything arrange?"

Cao Huachun was stunned for a moment, panicked, but he forgot about this incident, and said doubtfully, "Then, why didn't Governor Lu have a report? It stands to reason that he should have arrived before Hong Chengchou."

Zhu Xu's expression was a bit obscure, he snorted coldly, and said: "I am casting a net, and some people are also planning. Lu Xiangsheng probably knows something that is not yet certain, so he chose to remain silent."

Cao Huachun looked solemn. The army has always been a taboo, and ordinary people can't easily touch it. What are these people planning?

Speaking of this, Zhu Xu was somewhat sleepy, stretched his waist, and said: "Don't do anything, the gate of Xingyuan is open, but don't let anyone in, I'm tired, go to sleep."

Cao Huachun's eyes froze, and he said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu waved his hands, got up and walked outside.

A court lady led Zhu Xu to the bedroom. Zhang Yun was already lying down, and was about to get up immediately when Zhu Xu came in.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Lie down, are the children asleep?"

Zhang Yun sat on the head of the bed and said, "Well, they were all a little frightened and fell asleep now."

Zhu Xu nodded while taking off his clothes, and said: "When you wake up, take them to play in Xingyuan. Tomorrow, let's go out and walk around. After I finish handling things, I will take them around. The children are still young." , I forgot after playing for a while, it’s okay.”

The eldest, Xiao Shuxian, and Xiao Ciye are only six years old, and they are indeed children.

Zhang Yun lifted the brocade quilt, let Zhu Xu come up, and said, "Don't worry about the other concubines, but Shuxian, who is getting worse."

The six-year-old child, Zhu Xu, was not worried about dying, so she lay down, put her arms around Zhang Yun, and said, "Let her rest well, we will stay here for a few months, and have time to play."

Zhang Yun leaned on Zhu Xu's shoulder and responded softly.

Both of them were tired, they didn't say much, just closed their eyes to rest, when Cao Huachun's footsteps sounded outside, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou begs to see you."

Without opening Zhu Xu's eyes, he said, "Just say I'm asleep."

Cao Huachun immediately understood, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Cao Huachun left quickly, Zhu Xu adjusted his posture, and fell asleep with his arms around Zhang Yun.

Hong Chengchou, who was waiting outside the door, was a cavalry soldier who had just finished setting up, and hurried over to see the driver and return to his command. He heard "the emperor is exhausted, and has already rested, and we will talk about something at night", his face remained motionless, and his heart felt like ice cave.

He knew that his behavior was too outrageous this time, which would inevitably arouse suspicion, but he didn't expect that the emperor would not even see him, and he would not do any superficial tricks.

Hong Chengchou had no choice but to leave.

A few people followed behind him with strange attitudes.It stands to reason that when the emperor went to a place, he was the first to meet local officials. Hong Chengchou must have to meet, after all, it involves safety issues.

Hong Chengchou naturally couldn't explain anything, so he could only take people back.
