Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu was also helpless about this, so he could only order the hospital to keep an eye on him, and after thinking about it, he said, "Sister-in-law, should you go out of the palace to avoid the heat, it's too hot this year, and always using ice cubes is not good for your health .”

This year is really surprisingly hot. The key point is that in August, the capital city still hasn’t rained at all. It is rumored that many people are dying of heat.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, shook her head with a smile, and said, "There is no reason for the empress dowager to go out of the palace to escape the summer heat, so you can do your business with peace of mind, and don't worry about things in the palace."

Xiao Yongning sat there with a small waist, and jumped off the stool when he heard the words, supported the Queen Mother Zhang's arm, and said seriously with a small face: "Uncle Huang, you can go, I will take care of the Queen Mother."

Looking at the little guy's expression, Zhu Xu knew that she was going to make a fuss, but after hearing what he said, why was it so weird?

Empress Dowager Zhang knocked on the little girl and said, "Be honest with me."

The little girl tilted her head and winked at Zhu Xu, then sat back with a stern face.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu, and said: "The old concubine chose a few people for you. You can take a look at them when you have time. I think they are pretty good. They are all gentle, well-educated, and general people."

This is why Queen Mother Zhang asked him to come.

Zhu Xu looked up at the ridge of the roof. As a student of archaeology, his love skills were approaching negative values. At that time, he would have wished for someone to introduce him, blind date or something, but at this time, he didn't have any thoughts.

But this matter is really beyond his control, the emperor's wedding has extremely important political significance, not only for him, but also for the entire Ming ruling group.No matter how reluctant he is, there are countless people pushing him forward.

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Zhu Xu didn't resist, nodded and said: "Well, in a few days, I will go to see the concubine, and I will show the details of the ladies, and then I will meet in private."

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that Zhu Xu had always had ideas, and she did not object. Seeing that Zhu Xu's face seemed to be a little thin, she said softly: "Well, I know you are busy, and you should rest if you should. I heard from the concubine that you I had a deep talk with Xin Wang once, it’s very good, Xin Wang is loyal, and I can share part of it for you, don’t do everything by yourself, and tire yourself..."

Zhu Xu heard the warmth in his heart, and said with a smile: "Understood, sister-in-law Huang, don't worry, you should worry more about little Yongning, she is more difficult to deal with than I was when I was young."

When the little girl heard this, her eyes widened immediately, and she put on a small face, staring at Zhu Xu as if very angry.

Empress Dowager Zhang turned her head to look at Xiao Yongning, and she also had a headache. I don't know if this little guy learned from Zhu Xu. He is so eccentric and lawless. One after another, he made the Compassionate Ning Palace go crazy. , There is no peace for a moment.

Listening to Zhu Xu's words, I really miss him when he was a child. Although he was not obedient, he still knew how to behave.

Just as he was talking, Cao Huachun turned around and appeared at the door, saying: "Your Majesty, Shen Shangshu asks to see you."

Empress Dowager Zhang supported the table and got up, said: "Go and do your work, I will sleep for a while."

The little guy's eyes lit up, he jumped off the stool and rushed towards Zhu Xu: "Uncle Huang and I..."

Empress Dowager Zhang had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed the little guy and said, "Come with me."

Chapter 437 Newspapers

Inside the imperial study.

Shen Yongmao presented the terms negotiated with Nicklu and stood below, watching Zhu Xu's expression.

Cao Huachun's previous words still echoed in his mind. Although it is no longer the situation of party struggles a few years ago, and he would not easily ransack his family and destroy his family, but dissatisfaction with the emperor itself represents his incompetence.

He is also determined to be a "hero of Zhongxing Daming". He does not want to be driven back to his hometown because of his incompetence at this time.

Zhu Xu flipped through the clauses in the memorial book and nodded secretly. Some of them were better than he expected. For example, this "Tiger Wolf Guard" is a stroke of genius. This tiger wolf guard will be a sharp sword for Ming to get involved in Mongolia!

It was his idea to marry Zhu Youjian and Lin Danhan, and he needed to send a signal to Mongolia that Ming could coexist peacefully with Mongolia.This kind of signal will help the Ming Dynasty win over the various ministries of Monan Mongolia near the Great Wall to buy time and slowly advance his strategic plan.

Shen Yongmao saw Zhu Xu's jaw dropping from time to time, felt relieved, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Nikolul intends to buy cannons, the court...will you sell them?"

Shen Yongmao was hesitating in his heart, Chahar was too weak, it was difficult to even gain a foothold now, he didn't have enough sharp weapons, it was difficult to accomplish anything, and it didn't meet Da Ming's need to support it, but firearms were too sensitive for him to specialize in.

Without raising his head, Zhu Xu said, "Remember, firearms are strictly forbidden to go out. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go out alone!"

If such a sharp weapon were to be found on the grassland, it would be a great danger to Daming, and even the Great Wall passes would be useless.

Shen Yongmao was surprised and said, "Yes."

After reading it, Zhu Xu was basically satisfied, and said with a smile: "I have read it, and the talk is good, and one more thing: every winter, the women under King Shunping's jurisdiction are allowed to escort cattle and sheep to the Great Wall to escape the cold."

Shen Yongmao was startled, and thoughtfully said: "Observe the order."

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he turned to Liu Shimin and said, "Have someone transcribe it. By the way, pass it on and I will continue to enter the palace."

"Yes." Liu Shimin agreed, took the notebook, and entered the side door.

Seeing that Zhu Xu had no other objections, Shen Yongmao raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it may take a few days to reply from Chahar, and the final version will be finalized at that time."

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "Well, I understand, you can do it, if there is no accident, it will be finalized, and then handed over to Wenzhao Pavilion, and after King Xin's approval, hand it over to the Supervisor of Rituals."

When Shen Yongmao had the will, he immediately felt relieved, raised his hand and said: "Observe the order, I will resign."

Zhu Xu watched him leave, tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes flickered slightly, and said softly to himself: "Jianu can be released temporarily, it's time for Mongolia to move."

The various tribes of Mongolia are also at their weakest now, and they are fighting endlessly. Especially after a series of attacks by Houjin, except for a few large tribes, the others have dispersed into small tribes. If there is no joint action, they will be vulnerable.But they can often unite and invade the important towns on the nine borders.

Cao Huachun stood not far away with his arms folded, expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Zhu Xu's words.

Shen Yongmao left the palace with a relaxed expression and let out a breath slowly.The man in Jingyang Palace has a big heart, and if he is unable to be reused as Minister of the Ministry of War, then he will not be far away from resigning from office and returning to his hometown.

Just as Shen Yongmao left the Taihe Gate, a gray-haired old man walked up to him. As soon as he saw Shen Yongmao, he raised his hand with a smile and said, "Shen Shangshu."

The current structure of the Ming Dynasty is obvious. The emperor, and then there are six ministers, but the six ministers are also different in distance. The most important are naturally Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, followed by Shen Yongmao, minister of the Ministry of War, and then Ni Wenhuan, minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Xu Dahua, minister of the Ministry of industry. , Zhang I continued, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Shen Yongmao didn't have any prejudice against Zhang Woxu, since the Chongzhen Dynasty he had never been punished badly, he raised his hand politely and said, "Zhang Shangshu."

Zhang Woxu didn't know why Zhu Xu summoned him, but that time he knelt in the Golden Luan Hall for nearly an hour, and saw with his own eyes the destruction of Donglin, dozens of people were killed, and hundreds of people were arrested. This shadow may not be eliminated in this life up.

He deliberately inquired about Shen Yongmao, raised his hand, and said with a friendly smile: "Shen Shangshu, the Ministry of War has been acting unusually lately. It must be because of the Tatar affairs that he entered the palace now?"

Shen Yongmao saw that Zhang Weixian wanted to chat, so he was not in a hurry to leave, and simply said: "Yes, Lin Danhan from the Chahar Department has surrendered to the emperor."

Zhang Woxu looked slightly startled, and immediately looked at Jingyang Palace and raised his hand, and said excitedly: "My emperor is sage, this is a great achievement for thousands of years! It is a pity for Taizu Taizong, I didn't expect this old man to see such a scene in his lifetime. I have no regrets!"

Lin Dan Khan is a descendant of the Golden Family, the co-respected Mongolian Great Khan, although it is in name, but the name is sometimes very important!

For example, Zhang Woxu now thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di could not handle Mongolia, which was handled by Zhu Xu. This is more powerful than Taizu Taizong.

Of course, no one dares to refute even if there are reasons for such a statement!

Shen Yongmao didn't know why Zhang Woxu, who usually doesn't move around very much, stopped him. After thinking for a while, he said: "Master Zhang, don't worry, the emperor probably has an errand for you."

Seeing that Zhang Woxu was seen through, he also smiled slightly, and said: "Shangshu Shen, there is still a page in the court newspaper, I leave it to the Ministry of War to write about your bandit suppression, this time, Shangshu Shen, you can write it yourself. "

Shen Yongmao's eyes lit up, and now the newspaper is gradually becoming popular among the people, not only in the capital, but also in the south of the Yangtze River. The so-called folks naturally refer to scholars, and few ordinary people are literate.If there is a signed article, it is a good opportunity to show up.

Regarding Zhang Woxu's reciprocity, Shen Yongmao smiled and said, "Then I thank Zhang Shangshu."

Zhang Woxu was humble, and the two of them said some polite words, Zhang Woxu then walked towards Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Xu was looking at a memorial, which was written by Xiong Wencan, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Navy. He said that according to the news at sea, the red hair and Frangji were at odds, and there were many wars, which had spread to the sea. Please ask if there are any changes to the established plan.
