Domineering Daming

Cao Huachun was stunned, he didn't know about this, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the sea is rough, it should not be a small boat."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and immediately said: "Allocate one thousand Polu guns to the southern navy, plus fifty cannons, order Xiong Wencan to train the soldiers well, and send them to the sea. Not every merchant ship Ships are all sent, but caravans going out to sea, and they are asked to watch out for each other and help each other."

Cao Huachun was slightly startled, this was a big deal, he hesitated a little, and said: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong, why not send a navy to protect it?"

Zhu Xu shook his head and said: "The scale of merchant ships is still small now, and the range they go to is not large. If it expands in the future, the navy will not be able to protect them well, and they still have to rely on themselves."

Giving such a sharp weapon to merchant ships, I don't know how much opposition it will arouse.

Fortunately, those who oppose have no power, and those with power will not object.

Seeing that Zhu Xu's thoughts had been settled, Cao Huachun responded, "Observe the order."

After Cao Huachun delivered the decree, Zhu Xu put Xiong Wencan's memorabilia aside and looked down again. After not looking for a long time, he turned to look at Liu Shimin again, and said, "Has King Lu arrived in Beijing?"

Liu Shimin said: "Your Majesty, I arrived two days ago."

Zhu Xu blinked his eyes. He was so busy recently that he forgot about this. He pondered and said, "Outside the palace, is there any rest?"

Liu Shimin bowed there, and said: "Not yet, there is still a lot of discussion, especially some wild ones, but Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong have written articles to praise the emperor."

Zhu Xu was taken aback, and said, "Who did you just mention? Praise?"

Liu Shimin said: "Yes, their article said that the emperor has the courage to 'destroy the old and reform the evil', and hope that the emperor will continue to 'clean up the world and work hard to be devout'."

Zhu Xu's face was quite strange, and he said to himself: "Are they having a change of temper?"

Suddenly, his heart moved, his eyes sparkled, and he said to Liu Shimin, "Go, let me check out their recent words and deeds."

Although Liu Shimin didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, he replied, "Yes."

Zhu Xu watched Liu Shimin leave the imperial study, looked outside the door, the sky was as clear as blue, couldn't help smiling, and said: "Call Cao Bianjiao, I'm going out of the palace to see King Lu."

Zhu Xu was dressed in ordinary clothes and brought Cao Bianjiao out of the palace without hiding his whereabouts or ostentatiously.

Behind Cao Bianjiao, fifty imperial troops followed Zhu Xu's Long Yu, and walked towards the ten princes' mansion.

Although there is no grand form, the emperor's trip is a big event in itself. In a blink of an eye, the patrol battalion, Shuntian Mansion, and Dongchang all sent people to follow from afar.

At the same time, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, accompanied by rumors of mixed truth and falsehood.

The so-called ten palaces are ten palaces, the residences of the Ming Dynasty for the underage princes, not far from the Donghua Gate.

Especially the princes in Beijing now, most of them have residences, and Zhu Xu has not rectified it for the time being, and the most important thing is that the ten princes' mansions can't live there.

Now there are no underage princes in the capital, and there are no people living in the ten princes' mansion, only Lu Wang's mansion.

Before Zhu Xu arrived, Wang Lu Zhu Changhao, Concubine Li, Chang Shi Shen Dian and others were already waiting.

"Long live my emperor!"

Just as Zhu Xu got off the dragon, all the people knelt down and shouted.

Zhu Xu hurriedly walked a few steps, and said with a little support: "Uncle, please come, we are all a family, so there is no need to be polite."

Zhu Changhao thanked En and stood up, with his head lowered, but his eyes looked at Zhu Xu curiously.

After they came to the capital, they kept inquiring about the emperor, believing in the king's preferences, and wanted to match him up. He looked at Zhu Xu with a smile on his face, as if he was easy to get close to, not as scary as the rumors outside.

He raised his hand and said, "I don't know what the emperor ordered?"

Zhu Xu was startled, this uncle is really upright.

Concubine Li knew her son's temper well, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please come in and have tea."

Zhu Xu glanced at Princess Li again, smiled, put his hands behind his back, and led the way inside.

This is also the first time for him to come to the ten palaces. After walking around, it was almost one-tenth the size of the imperial palace. He couldn't help touching his chin and whispered to himself: "It can accommodate a lot of people... "

Concubine Li followed Zhu Xu carefully, and secretly glared at Zhu Changhao, not letting him talk nonsense.

Concubine Li is a cautious and alert person, she always feels that behind Zhu Xu's harmless face is hiding a terrible scheming, and they can't help them to deal with it carelessly.

When they came to Prince Lu's Mansion, Zhu Xu sat in the top seat. After serving tea, Zhu Xu held a cup and blew while laughing, "How about it, are you still used to the capital? You haven't been to the capital yet."

Zhu Changhao liked it very much. The rich style of writing and the collection of poets made him quite happy.

Concubine Li heard a different meaning from Zhu Xu's words, she was startled, she bowed slightly and said, "Go back to the emperor, the capital is very good, if Chang Xiao hadn't been ill all the time, we would have gone to Beijing long ago."

Zhu Xu nodded and roughly understood that Zhu Changxiao was indeed as Wei Zhongxian said in his notebook, young and good at writing, and had no intention of disobedience. Presumably it was also the idea of ​​this Princess Li.

"Have you walked around more with other princes?" Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Changxiao and asked.

As soon as these words came out, Li Wangfei, Zhu Changxiao and Shen Dian were all shocked, unable to figure out Zhu Xu's meaning.

Zhu Changhao glanced at Princess Li, and said cautiously: "I haven't had time yet."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Uncle Huang, don't worry about anything. We are all a family, and the descendants of the great ancestor should take care of each other. If you have nothing to do, go and walk around. They still have a lot of food, and they can share some with Prince Lu's residence. In a few days, there will be a meeting in the Governor's Council, and the emperor's uncle can also go. Also, the emperor's uncle is in charge of the patrol battalion, so he must pay more attention."

What Zhu Xu said was very casual, but the three people who listened were all terrified.

Zhu Changhao is not a fool, on the contrary, since he entered Beijing, he has become more cautious and sensitive, and it is easy to hear the meaning behind Zhu Xu's words.

The emperor wanted him to persuade the princes and princes of the clan who still kept many rice fields to hand them over at the court meeting, but the patrol camp just warned him not to touch it!

Zhu Changhao's body was trembling. If he really spoke in public at the courtyard meeting and persuaded them to hand over the food, he would be hated to death.

But he had to agree!

He glanced at Princess Li, who also bit her lip, lowered her head, her eyes flickered, she couldn't refuse for a long time.

It was even worse for Shen Dian, wishing Zhu Xu could not see him at all.

Zhu Changhao had no choice but to say: "It is the emperor, and the minister will pay attention."

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Well, that's good. By the way, I heard that Uncle Fu also has contacts with Uncle Fu Wang? I have liked Uncle Fu Wang very much since I was young, but it's a pity that I didn't have one side. "

Zhu Changhao's face was sullen, his body was tense, he heard Zhu Xu's meaning, he bowed slightly in a numb manner, raised his hand and said: "I haven't seen King Fu for a long time, I will write to Luoyang later, and invite him to come See you in Beijing."

On the road!

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, looked at Princess Li again, and said, "That would be great. The old concubine is in the palace, and she often tells me that the concubine manages the family well. If you have time, you might as well go to the palace to chat with the concubine. chat."

Concubine Li stood up, bent her body and said: "Yes, today I will enter the palace in body."

Zhu Xu got up and said with a smile: "That's good, family, you have to move around frequently. Today I just came to check the door. If I have time, I will come often."

The three of them would understand, and hurriedly saluted: "Respectfully send the emperor off."
