Domineering Daming

Bi Ziyan's eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity, he can understand the emperor's policies, and he can also influence them at any time, anyway, he quickly raised his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After solving the Jiangsu matter, Zhu Xu also heaved a sigh of relief, returned to the imperial study, and asked Cao Huachun to draw up a decree and send it out.

Sitting in the imperial study room, Zhu Xu continued his monotonous life of writing notes.

These memorials of his were all filtered from the Wenzhao Pavilion, or they would have been several times more. Even so, Zhu Xu did not finish reading the day's books in one day. It can be seen that the emperors of all dynasties, as long as they are a little Hard work requires a lot of perseverance.

Most of the performances are boring, and they become numb after reading for a long time.It was almost dark before Zhu Xu found out something interesting.

This was played by King Shangfeng of the Ryukyu, saying that the Ming Dynasty navy is mighty, and all the pirates have been wiped out wherever they go.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, which reminded him of many things, such as the Mutual Defense Treaty!

Zhu Xu looked at this memorial, and said to himself: "If my Ming's navy and army enter Ryukyu and form a navy and army with them, and they bear most of the expenses, maybe this is a good model... ..."

Ryukyu has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty and sent envoys to Beijing every year. The kings of all dynasties were also canonized by the Ming Dynasty. The country is small and weak, and it also faces the threat of pirates. If it does not affect the king's government affairs, he should be happy to hand over the defense.

After speaking, Zhu Xu picked up the brush and wrote the text of a "common defense" treaty.

After a long time, he took this text, dried the ink, looked at it for a while, smiled with satisfaction, and handed it to Cao Huachun, saying: "Send it to the staff department, let Sun Chuanting and others make a calculation, if there is no problem, send it to Shangfeng Wang, look at Liu Qiu's opinion."

Cao Huachun listened carefully to Zhu Xu's words just now, and knew that Zhu Xu clearly didn't want to pay money and expand his strength, so he smiled and walked over quickly to take it, saying: "Yes."

Zhu Xu was very happy with his sudden idea. For the current Daming, there are many places where it can be applied. In addition to Ryukyu, there are North Korea, the Mo family in Annan, and so on.

After the appointment edict of Bi Ziyan issued by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, many people were puzzled. The cabinet no longer exists, so what is this Dongge University scholar?

But Xinwang Zhu Youjian heaved a sigh of relief, because he knew that the supervisor of ceremonies had formulated the syllabus for Zhu Xu's class, and it had already been sent to him.

He looked at Zhu Xu's syllabus with a smile on his face.

Since Zhu Xu is willing to learn from him, it means that there will be no more "chaotic politics", and he will have more chances to restore Daming.

Zhu Youjian thought for a while, picked up the list of provincial examinations at hand, got up, left Wenzhao Pavilion, and came to Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Xu was grading the memorial, curious, looked at Zhu Youjian who walked in, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, what's the matter, why don't you come here yourself?"

No matter how you listen to these words, Zhu Youjian is also a little embarrassed, his face is slightly hot, he raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I came here for the rural examination, and the list of admissions from various places has been sent up."

Cao Huachun hurried over, took it, and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu flipped through the pages, but he didn't care. He knew that there must be many people Zhu Youjian was optimistic about. He smiled and closed his mouth and said, "Well, Brother Huang has done a good job in this matter. I will leave tomorrow." According to the decree, Zhao Han was transferred to be the governor of Henan, and Fan Jingwen was transferred to be the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture."

In any case, this matter is also an affirmation of Wen Zhaoge, Zhu Youjian looked slightly happy, and raised his hand again: "I have thanked the emperor... and I would like to ask for an order."

Zhu Xu was stunned, looked at Zhu Youjian, and said: "Brother, just say it."

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I recommend Shi Feng to be the Jiangsu Zuo to participate in politics. Mr. Shi is knowledgeable and experienced, so he should be the best candidate for Jiangsu Zuo to participate in politics."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and after a little thought in his heart, he realized that Shi Feng had fallen out of favor.

He pretended to think for a while before saying: "Well, it's good that Shi Feng is here, I agree, member of Wenzhao Pavilion, brother Huang is optimistic, just report it."

Zhu Youjian was also a tester. Seeing Zhu Xu agreeing so easily, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chapter 384 Coveted

The so-called white horse passing through the gap is the most correct for Zhu Xu.

Standing under the eaves, looking at the first snow this year, Zhu Xu was also full of joy.

King Ping stood beside Zhu Xu, and said with a smile: "It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, Your Majesty, next year must be a good year."

Cao Huachun listened behind, and smiled calmly.People around the emperor, who didn't know that the emperor guessed that the severe drought would become more and more serious in the future, so how could there be a good year.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, smiled and said: "Uncle Huang, you are not here to report the snow when you enter the palace today, right?"

Ping Wangdao: "How dare I, a few theater troupes have come from Jiangnan recently, and I have come here to invite the emperor to listen to it."

Zhu Xu glanced at him in surprise, and immediately said, "Okay, let's go and listen together."

King Ping laughed, and said, "Your Majesty will like it."

Zhu Xu came out of the palace, and now it was more and more grand. Before and after, a full hundred people were mobilized, from the eunuchs, court ladies to the imperial army, the imposing manner was extremely majestic.

Wrapped in thick cotton clothes, Zhu Xu walked into Prince Ping's mansion together with King Ping, and smiled as he walked, "Uncle Emperor, what's going on today?"

King Ping bowed and said, "I know that the emperor likes to listen to ditty tunes. This is a ditty tune from Shandong, and it is said to be adapted from "The Romance of the West Chamber."

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, a large group of people came out of the palace to welcome him.

King Jing, King Lu led the way, as well as Duke Ying, Duke Xu, Ye Xianggao, Han Huang, Zuo Guangdou and others, more than 20 people stepped forward at the same time, saying: "I will pay my respects to the emperor."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, there was a prince, there was a duke, and there was an old official who became an official. This combination in the past in Daming would definitely make Daming shake.Some have already surrendered, and some are still waiting to see. However, since they are here at this moment, I think they are waiting for him to recruit.

Zhu Xu's mind was clear, and he smiled at King Ping: "Uncle Huang, I will be ridiculed by the people of the world for my unscrupulous hobby."

King Ping had been observing Zhu Xu's expression all the time, seeing that he was not angry, he also secretly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Where does the emperor say, the ditties are as elegant as the ditties, and I often listen to them."

Zhu Xu secretly breathed out that it was almost the end of the year, after all, he was going to have a good year, he raised his hand and said: "Let's all be flat, today, the monarch and his ministers will have fun together, there is no need to be formal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone got up and stood on both sides.

After Zhu Xu sat down, he arranged the seats one by one. King Ping accompanied Zhu Xu and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'll be here soon."

Zhu Xu nodded, holding a hot teacup in his hand, looked at the people present, smiled and looked at the table set up not far away.

The snowflakes were falling, and there was white snow everywhere, and the figures on the stage were in a hurry, preparing nervously.

"Hey, Uncle Huang is still comfortable here."

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "The imperial palace is as stuffy as a coffin, it's hard to breathe."

It hasn't started yet, Zhu Xu's voice is not loud, but it has spread to everyone present.

Those present here are considered to have dealt with Zhu Xu, seeing that he is still so "disrespectful", they have the right to pretend that they have not heard.

On the right side of Zhu Xu are Xu Guogong, Ying Yinggong and others. Zuo Guangdou stood up and said to Zhu Xu, "Dare to ask the emperor, I heard that this year's summer grain is nearly 3000 million stones. I don't know." Is it true?"

The 3000 million stone tax and grain, I am afraid that such a figure can only be traced back to the orthodox years.

Zhu Xu looked at Zuo Guangdou, and suddenly thought of his role in the "Moving Palace Case", and also remembered a certain legend of the dynasty.A minister wanted to "reason" with the emperor, but the emperor refused to listen and walked away. The minister chased after him, grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and blocked the pillar for half an hour before letting the emperor go. .

Although the statement is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to explain the status of scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty. Once they stood on the commanding heights of morality, even the emperor would give in.

Zhu Xu's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "It seems that the confidential work of the Ministry of Accounting is not done well. Such important figures are spread everywhere."

Zuo Guangdou's expression changed slightly, his face was sullen, he raised his hand and continued: "I dare you, I would like to ask the emperor what is the arrangement for this year's taxes and rations?"
