Domineering Daming

Cao Huachun agreed, turned around and went out again.

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhu Xu without moving his face, but he was startled again by the nine-year-old emperor in front of him.

It never occurred to him that these two "traitors" were actually assigned to the positions of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Minister of Dali Temple.But he was secretly uneasy, the emperor always did things beyond his expectations.In the past, he was afraid of party disputes in the court, but now, he was worried about the words "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger".

Zhu Xu looked up at Fu Changzong again, and said, "Keep this matter secret first, don't spread it to the outside world, I want to see who jumps out."

Seeing Zhu Xu's resolute attitude, Fu Changzong stopped arguing, bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

Naturally, Zhu Xu didn't say that this was a channel or the framework of the intelligence system, and he discussed it carefully with the two of them. After half an hour, the two of them left Wenzhao Pavilion.

Zhu Xu looked at the scriptures for a while, then put them aside, stood up and said, "Go to the Palace of Compassion."

Kunning Palace is the residence of the Empress of the Central Palace. Empress Zhang has now taken the title of Empress Dowager and moved to the Palace of Compassion.

The imperial palace was really too big, Zhu Xu walked for a long time before reaching the Compassionate Ning Palace, just like entering the Kunning Palace, as soon as he entered, he yelled: "Sister-in-law, do you have something to eat? I'm hungry."

Empress Zhang had already been notified, and she came out with a slight brow and said, "They are all emperors, so it's time to be a bit upright."

Zhu Xu chuckled, sat down at the table and said, "The sky is big and the earth is big, eating is the biggest!"

Huan'er pursed her lips and snickered, Empress Zhang glared at her and said, "Hurry up and prepare something for the emperor."

Huan'er agreed and walked outside quickly.

Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu with a slight smile on her face, and was about to sit down when Xiao Yongning shouted again.

"Yeah!"

Empress Zhang sighed softly and said, "I can't be at peace for a moment." Then she got up and walked inside.

"I'll come, I'll come." Zhu Xu ran a few steps first, rushed inside and hugged Xiao Yongning out.

Xiao Yongning was in Zhu Xu's arms, waving his hands, his big eyes narrowed into a line, his mouth was grinning, showing a little bit of small teeth, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Zhu Xu smiled at Empress Zhang while swaying, "Little Yongning must have heard my voice."

Empress Zhang sat down, supported her waist, and said with a sigh of relief: "I haven't slept well these few nights. I slept during the day and kept making noise at night."

"It looks like me." Zhu Xu teased little Yongning, and rubbed his face: "Tell me, don't you, Princess Yongning?"

"Yeah!"

The little guy waved his little hand, trying to grab Zhu Xu's face, and smiled happily.

Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, with a smile in her eyes, and said: "From now on, you should get used to calling 'Zhen', and be more dignified in front of outsiders. By the way, I heard that you have sealed up all the salt farms across the country. , the price of salt in the capital has gone crazy.”

Zhu Xu looked surprised and said, "The price has increased so quickly?"

Empress Zhang turned up the teacup and said, "Well, just now, my father sent in a message to see me."

Zhu Xu said with emotion, "This group of people reacted so quickly." It was obvious that someone had already found Zhang Guogong.

Empress Zhang poured Zhu Xu a glass of water, took Xiao Yongning from his arms, ignored Xiao Yongning's struggle and objection, and said, "I'm afraid it won't stop. I heard that rice, flour, oil and food are all rising."

Zhu Xu sat down, took a sip of tea, looked at Empress Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me, how about I set up a price department, hang it under the household department, and be included in the official assessment of the official department?"

Empress Zhang frowned, and said in a bad mood: "Don't discuss government affairs with me, eat with peace of mind, and then go to your business."

Zhu Xu sat down with a smile, looked at Empress Zhang and Xiao Yongning in his arms, and said, "Sister-in-law, what else did the Duke say?"

Empress Zhang raised her head and was about to speak when she saw Cao Huachun walking in quickly.

Cao Huachun bowed slightly to Empress Zhang, and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Your Majesty, Master Ye has entered Beijing."

Chapter 197

With Wei Zhongxian imprisoned, the eunuch party is still in name only, many party members can't take care of themselves, and the neutral officials in the court are wise to protect themselves. Therefore, the biggest cronies in the court are still the Donglin party.

The Donglin Party has a profound background, and there are a lot of talents in the ruling and opposition parties. What's more, Sun Chengzong is now the assistant and military department, and his status in the court is no lower than that of Gu Bingqian and Xinwang. Therefore, the voices of the government and the public to "exorcise evil and use righteousness" have been loud, and even Xin Wang has mentioned the liquidation of "eunuchs".

Ye Xianggao and others who resigned from office last year and have a good official reputation are almost united, so they are naturally strongly urged to resume.

It's just that Zhu Xu had other plans in his heart, and he didn't seem to hear these voices, and the delay lasted for more than a month.

Ye Xianggao chose to go to Beijing at this time, probably because he meant to put pressure on him, the new emperor.

Zhu Xu nodded, waved his hand and said, "No surprise, let's go."

Empress Zhang pretended not to hear, she lowered her head and teased Xiao Yongning.

Cao Huachun did not back down, glanced at Empress Zhang, and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "He has gone to Prince Xin's Mansion."

As soon as he said these words, not only Zhu Xu, but even Queen Zhang's actions were taken aback.

King Xin bought the yard, and Zhu Xu gave the plaque a plaque. I heard that there was already a lot of traffic and people in front of the gate.

Zhu Xu looked at Empress Zhang with her head lowered, smiled and said: "Well, then go and give the letter to King Xin to see how to arrange Lord Ye, and ask him to write a note for me."

Cao Huachun was startled, then smiled at the corner of his mouth, bowed and said, "Observe the order."

Ye Xianggao was a college student in the Hall of Martial Arts before, and he was added as Taifu Zhishi. Now that he is back, what position will he arrange?The chief assistant, Gu Bingqian, is still there. Although he was attacked by the Donglin Party, he is still there.

The other cabinet ministers are definitely not suitable, the only suitable position is the chief assistant!

What should I do?

Since Ye Xianggao went to visit King Xin, he naturally wanted King Xin to deliver the letter to Zhu Xu, and Zhu Xu passed the word on first, so the problem was naturally pushed back.

Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, hesitated and said, "King Xin, do you often give you problems?"

Zhu Xu was taken aback, blinked, and said, "Why did the sister-in-law say that?"

Since Empress Zhang opened her mouth, she said directly: "I heard that he is very diligent and has written a lot of scriptures. He seems to be at odds with Mr. Gu Ge, but he is closer to Mr. Yang."

"No." Zhu Xu's expression was quite generous, and his tone was also generous: "I am also happy that the emperor is hardworking. With him in the cabinet, I can save half of my worries. Foreign ministers, how can my own family be at ease? "

Empress Zhang saw that Zhu Xu really did not appear to have any quarrel between brothers, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her tone became more natural, and said: "Well, that's good, I will call Wang Xin into the palace to talk to him some day, and click on him. "

Zhu Xu smiled, but didn't stop him.

Although Zhu Youjian's character can't be the kind of emperor who can turn the tide, he is definitely more than enough to be a virtuous king.What's more, there is this strong backing behind it!

Zhu Xu happily ate a meal at Queen Zhang's place, and after teasing the little princess, he turned to Wenzhao Pavilion again.

Now he generally spends the night in Qianqing Palace and spends most of the day in Wenzhao Pavilion.He didn't like the Imperial Study Room, and always felt that it was an ominous place.

Back at Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Xu picked up the booklet to read again.
