Domineering Daming

So, he said enthusiastically: "Would you like me to introduce one to you? He is also a general. He has made a lot of military achievements at a young age, and his status is not low now, and his future achievements will be limitless..."

Li Jieyu opened his mouth, a little at a loss.

Cao Huachun stood in his heart and laughed secretly: I'm afraid it's the emperor's matchmaker's thoughts again.

Li Jieyu was stunned for a while, then quickly calmed down, slightly lowered his head and said: "The daughter of the people has no intention of getting married at the moment, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Cao Huachun raised his head and gave Li Jieyu a strange look. The emperor refused to offer him a marriage. What is the intention of Miss Li entering the palace?

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help showing a trace of vigilance.

Zhu Xu looked at him and smiled, but he didn't care, and said, "Well, let's talk about it when you have a sweetheart. By the way, why didn't you go home?"

Li Jieyu fiddled with the tea set, boiled a pot, poured out a cup and handed it to Zhu Xu, saying, "Folk girls don't have a home."

Thinking about his background, Zhu Xu took the tea thoughtfully.

Just as he was about to drink, Cao Huachun stopped him suddenly, bowed his body, and said, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, shouldn't it be time to go back to the palace?"

Li Jieyu's face flashed with surprise, and he bowed there, motionless.

Zhu Xu glanced at Cao Huachun in surprise, saw that his eyes were flickering with vigilance, he was startled, then looked at Li Jieyu, waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not too cold."

As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.

Cao Huachun's face changed slightly, his eyes widened, and his heart was in his throat.

"Mmm, good tea." Zhu Xu could not help but praise, keeping his teeth still.

Li Jieyu raised his head with a flash of surprise in his eyes, pursed his lips, and his expression became more and more quiet.

Zhu Xu put down his teacup and smacked his mouth. Since Yao Qingqing left the palace, he seldom drank good tea.There are good tea leaves, but there are not good tea masters.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was fine, Cao Huachun felt a little relieved, and stood back, still looking at Li Jieyu vigilantly.

Li Jieyu picked up the teapot, poured another cup for Zhu Xu, hesitated for a while, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Dare to ask the emperor, do you want to fight Jiannu?"

Just as Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, he was taken aback, and said, "Why do you say that?"

Li Jieyu looked at Zhu Xu, his eyes were calm but extremely firm, and he said: "Your Majesty, the daughters of the people are bold, even if the imperial court captures Shenyang and the isolated city is outside, how to defend it? Liaodong is thousands of miles away, Jiannu comes and goes like the wind, even if Jiannu is destroyed If the Tatars go north, what should we do? Therefore, the daughter of the people asks the emperor to give up Ping Liao, to repair government affairs internally, and improve military preparations externally. It is the best policy to follow every step of the way!"

A strange color flashed in Zhu Xu's eyes. Li Jieyu's insight was much better than most of the ministers in the court.

He remained expressionless, and said, "How do you know that I want to fight Jiannu?"

Seeing that Zhu Xu was not angry, Li Jieyu pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "The daughter of the people knows that the emperor has repeatedly summoned the military department, and also knows that the emperor has recalled Mr. Yuan from Liaodong, and also guessed that the emperor will send Mr. Sun Ge into Liao."

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "This is all, it's not enough."

Li Jieyu glanced at Zhu Xu again, and said: "Outside the capital, the emperor ordered Mr. Sun Ge to reorganize the army. When Mr. Sun Ge returned to Beijing, the reorganization must have been completed. But within the capital, the emperor has already abandoned the 72 guards including the Chinese army. The patrol battalion and the imperial army have stabilized after a few months. In addition, the emperor has been urging the household department to collect tax money as soon as possible, and the women of the people can't guess what the emperor will do next except guess that the emperor will use troops in Liaodong."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, holding the teacup between his fingers, his heart racing.

Although what Li Jieyu said was very one-sided and not all of them were right, she did guess that he was going to use troops in Liaodong by mistake!

I couldn't help but sigh again, how many people in the civil and military courts have such insights?

The Prime Minister Zhu Youjian led a group of Donglin Qingliu, all thinking about helping the country and abolishing the bad government, but they are still struggling in the old pattern, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough.

Among the six books, apart from Fu Changzong who was able to understand his thoughts, he put a little effort into it, but he didn't have much courage.

Zhou Yingqiu, Shen Yongmao and others are just pawns who obey orders. If Zhu Xu doesn't say anything, they will not be able to accomplish any great things, and they will also fluctuate in the old situation.

Ni Wenhuan and others were even worse, Zhu Xu just liked them to be obedient and not to cause trouble for him.

Sun Chengzong's talents are more in military affairs. He is a rare handsome talent and is worth relying on, but he can't be expected to bear too much, and he doesn't have the ability to break the game.

"Is this the loneliness of being an emperor, or the helplessness of being too big?"

Zhu Xu sighed secretly, but said with a smile on his face: "There are more mistakes than right."

Li Jieyu frowned, his face seemed a little unconvinced, and he said, "I don't know, what's wrong with the girl?"

Chapter 288 Kings

It was also rare for Zhu Xu to chat with someone who could speak well. He put down his teacup, tapped his right hand on the table, and said with a smile: "First, my series of military reforms are not for the decisive battle with Jiannu, but the military equipment has been dismantled for a long time. Rectify. Second, I have no plans to fight Jiannu decisively, and I know very well that Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and the isolated city cannot be defended. Third, you guessed it right, this is the only reason I want to use troops in Liaodong."

Li Jieyu frowned, his face returned to calm, he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "The girl guessed wrong, Your Majesty, I don't know how to use troops in Liaodong?"

The corner of Zhu Xu's mouth revealed a playfulness, and he said with a smile, "Guess what?"

Li Jieyu pursed his lips, and said: "Since the emperor doesn't intend to fight Jiannu decisively, the girls can't guess."

Zhu Xu smiled smugly, "How is your medical skill?"

Li Jieyu saw that Xu Zhuxu didn't answer, but his mind was clear, so he said: "There is an old doctor teaching me, and I have learned a little bit."

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "In a few days, I will call some more women into the palace, and then you will learn together."

Li Jieyu was smart and perceptive, but he couldn't figure out what Zhu Xu was thinking, so he could only agree.

Zhu Xu originally wanted to chat with this Miss Li for a while, but this lady just said "boldly" just now, but now she refuses to say anything more.

Zhu Xu had no choice but to send her away, looking at the still rumbling sound of firecrackers outside, he was rather envious.

Not long after, a servant hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, King Ping is here."

Zhu Xu was startled, King Ping, what are you doing here at this time?Thinking about it, he said, "Let him come in."

King Ping came in soon, with a fat and round face smiling, with a big belly, wrapped round and firm, like a Maitreya Buddha.

He came over, saluted Zhu Xu respectfully, and said: "I see the emperor."

Zhu Xu smiled, waved his hands and said, "You're welcome, uncle, come, sit down, and have a taste of my newly brewed tea."

Cao Huachun stood behind him, knowing that it was Li Jieyu who made it up, he smiled and did not move.

King Ping came over with a smile, sat down and took a sip, his eyes lit up, and said: "Your Majesty, the tea is good, and the brewing is good. I haven't had such a fragrant tea for a long time."

Zhu Xu smiled all over his face and said, "It must be."

King Ping drank tea, straightened his body again, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has given you a lot of rewards, ministers, be terrified, be terrified."

Zhu Xu also took a sip of tea, and said: "In the past, the inner money was empty, but now it is better. Of course, there are more rewards, so don't worry about it."

Those who are not short of money are of course terrified, but those who are short of money will be ecstatic and even grateful.

King Ping smiled, and really didn't care, and said: "Your Majesty, I have done very well in the business you entrusted to me. Now many clans want to join in, and I am a little undecided."
