Domineering Daming

The prince Zhu Cixiu was a little over three years old, and he wasn't very close to his elder brothers, but he was extremely clingy to the eldest princess Zhu Shuxian, so he ran to Fengzao Palace when he had nothing to do.

Zhang Yun had no opinion on this, and said: "Well, pay attention to the time of class, don't let the prince play too much."

The palace maid hurriedly responded, "It's your empress."

Zhang Yun walked for a while and said, "Go to Yonghe Palace later, you are ready to leave."

Xingzi from Yonghe Palace is also five months pregnant, and their due dates may be similar.

The palace maid responded and hurried to make arrangements.

In the Cining Palace.

Little Yongning was lying in front of Empress Dowager Zhang's bed, her eyes were red, her face was rainy with pear blossoms, and she kept crying. She held Empress Dowager Zhang's hand and said, "Queen Mother, are you okay, don't scare me..."

Empress Dowager Zhang was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her breath was weak, her eyes were covered with red silk, and she said weakly: "I asked you to close the palace gate, have you closed it?"

Xiao Yongning took her hand, teardrops fell drop by drop, choked up and said: "It's closed, I'm obedient, mother, you must not have anything to do..."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Xiao Yongning's miserable expression, stretched out her hand to touch her face, and said, "It's okay, old problem, didn't the imperial doctor tell you, you'll be fine after a few days."

Xiao Yongning knew that when her mother was pregnant with her, she was conspired against, and it was Empress Dowager Zhang who insisted on giving birth to the one who was going to have a miscarriage. Because of this, she suffered from a whole body of illnesses, and she suffered a lot every winter.

She held the hand of Empress Dowager Zhang, her face was full of tears, she was bewildered, she stood up suddenly and said: "Queen Mother, I will go find the emperor's uncle, the emperor's uncle must have a way..."

Just as she was about to run away, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly became louder and said, "Come back!"

Xiao Yongning turned his head and looked at Queen Mother Zhang with a puzzled expression.

Empress Dowager Zhang took a breath and explained: "This time of the year is the busiest time for your uncle. Don't disturb him. I'll be fine after a few days."

Xiao Yongning knelt and sat in front of Empress Dowager Zhang's bed, crying all the time, looking extremely helpless.

Empress Dowager Zhang's face was pale, her arms were like sticks, she touched the tears on her face, and said with a hard smile: "Silly boy, the queen mother is fine, you go and cook porridge for the queen mother, she will drink when she wakes up."

Xiao Yongning said "Ah oh good" in a row, and ran out after losing his voice.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the back of the little girl in a hurry, sighed softly, looked at Li Xiangjun who was not far from the bed, and said: "Xiangjun, you look at Yongning during this time, don't let her cause trouble, and don't let the emperor know. "

Li Xiangjun is slim and tall, two years older than Xiao Yongning. Seeing the pale expression of Empress Dowager Zhang, she was also very worried, walked over, and said softly: "Don't worry, Madam, Xiangjun knows."

Only then did Empress Dowager Zhang forcefully smile in relief, then closed her eyes, and fell asleep in peace.

There is some disturbance in the palace, and the outside of the palace is not peaceful.

Before lunch, Qin Liangyu appeared in Sun Chengzong's mansion. Looking at Sun Chengzong who could sit up and his face was rosy, Qin Liangyu looked solemn and said, "Marshal, there is another way of thinking about the reform of the army in the mansion. The Marshal’s Mansion cannot be on an equal footing with the cabinet, and it may lead to catastrophic disasters in the future, so I hope the Marshal’s Mansion will be downgraded.”

Sun Chengzong has been recuperating for quite a while. Although he still can't get out of bed, his health is getting better and there is no serious problem. Hearing Qin Liangyu's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think it is the meaning of the first assistant?"

Qin Liangyu had white hair and worried eyes, and said, "It should be, I'm afraid it's just a test."

"The Ministry of National Defense..." Sun Chengzong murmured thoughtfully to himself.

Qin Liangyu saw him say the word "Ministry of National Defense" and knew that he had already heard the news, so he stopped circling around and said, "Marshal, what should we do now?"

Sun Chuanting is very powerful and powerful, and has established plans for the court. He has not fully revealed these plans, but some actions are quite clear.

Qin Liangyu or Sun Chengzong had no way to fight head-on, so he could only find a way to solve it in a roundabout way.

From Qin Liangyu's point of view, Sun Chuanting's actions were in a hurry and did not conform to the Shuaifu's reform plan. She did not want the pace of reform to be disrupted.

Sun Chengzong could understand Sun Chuanting's thoughts, thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, the first assistant should just get wind of it, prepare mentally, and won't start right away. The actual action will take three to five years."

Qin Liangyu was not as clear as Sun Chengzong, probably because she had been in the army for a long time, and being a soldier was better than a civilian.

Qin Liangyu thought for a while, and said: "Marshal, what should the Marshal's residence do in the future?"

Qin Liangyu is not Sun Chengzong, and her prestige is not enough to suppress the entire military. If Sun Chengzong really becomes an official, it will have an unpredictable impact on the current military situation.

Sun Chengzong knew that Qin Liangyu was in Sichuan before, and she was a woman. Even if she took the position of Marshal of the Marshal's Mansion, she would not be able to control the overall situation.

He smiled, looked at Qin Liangyu's old face, and said with deep meaning: "How many more years do you think you can do?"

Qin Liangyu was startled, she will be seventy years old, and listening to Sun Chengzong's words, she couldn't help but think deeply, and she said after a while: "Marshal, what do you mean, Cao Wenzhao?"

Qin Liangyu was not as clear as Sun Chengzong about state affairs, but when it came to the military, he had a clear understanding, and he understood it in an instant.

Sun Chengzong nodded silently, and said: "Go and talk to Cao Wenzhao, and then write a letter to the emperor."

Qin Liangyu understood, and said: "Well, today I will walk around first, talk to the governors of the major governors, and then have an in-depth talk with Cao Wenzhao, and enter the palace tomorrow."

Sun Chengzong nodded and said nothing more.

He was in charge of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and the navy was lucky to say that the other three governors, Xiong Tingbi, Yang Sichang, Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu had nothing to do with each other.Qin Liangyu is a woman, and she doesn't have enough prestige to suppress these people, let alone carry out the reform of the military system.

Therefore, a person is needed to assist. This person has seen all over the Ming Dynasty, and only Cao Wenzhao is suitable!

Sun Chengzong's third son, Sun Ling, sent Qin Liangyu out and watched Qin Liangyu get into the carriage at the door.

He looked up at the clear sky, turned back with a blank expression on his face.

The Shuai Mansion is about to change hands, and Daming is undergoing drastic changes.

From the cabinet, the imperial palace, the commander's mansion, to the localities, everything is changing drastically, and a new era is quietly opening up.

Chapter 1473 Centralization

Zhu Xu was woken up by Liu Shimin before he could sleep for an hour because Sun Chuanting asked to see him.

Zhao Jing dressed Zhu Xu, she stretched her head and looked outside, it seemed that it was snowing again, she said softly: "Your Majesty, I will make some appetizing snacks, and I will send them to you later."

Zhu Xu was indeed a little hungry, said "um", rubbed his face again, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your soup is good, make another one."

Zhao Jing was overjoyed, and said: "Yes, the concubine remembered it, and made a copy for the emperor every day to send over."

Zhu Xu smiled, ignored her small thoughts, got dressed and went outside, and hurried to Qianqing Palace accompanied by Liu Shimin and others.

The maid came in quietly and said aggrievedly: "Miss, you scared me to death."

Zhao Jing rolled her eyes, jumped back and fell on the bed again, looked at the roof beams, and said with lively eyes: "Silly girl, this lady is not stupid, besides, the emperor is not that scary, just don't have bad thoughts ..."

The maid was even more aggrieved, and said: "Miss, you forgot the master's explanation before entering the palace. The palace is a place to eat people. The concubines of the previous dynasty, even the queen mother, were plotted against..."

Zhao Jing turned over and jumped up again, exclaiming: "Ah, I want to cook food for the emperor, hurry up, help me..."

She walked while talking, and muttered: "I don't know if the imperial dining room has those materials, Yan'er, show me your skills, or you will sleep on the floor..."

The maid was extremely worried about her young lady and hurriedly followed.
