Domineering Daming

"Da Ming is about to enter a new era." Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back and squinted at the sky.He didn't have much impression of Concubine Zheng, he just expressed emotion.

Li Jieyu didn't quite understand Zhu Xu's meaning, he just stood beside him calmly.

And Cao Huachun believed in his heart that the restoration of Liaodong by the Ming Dynasty had heralded the beginning of a new era.

The three of them were silent for a while, Zhu Xu pulled Li Jieyu's hand and strode forward: "Go, go back to sleep!"

Li Jieyu was startled at first, then blushed immediately, struggled lightly, and at the same time whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Your Majesty, someone is watching..."

Zhu Xu didn't think about anything else, he was really tired, no matter how late he was, he pulled Li Jieyu back to the side hall, undressed and went to bed impatiently.

After all, Li Jieyu is a traditional girl, a lady from a rich family, how can she do such a thing in broad daylight, but before she finishes tangling, Zhu Xu is lying on the bed with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, and has no intention of doing anything at all .

Li Jieyu looked at the tired look on Zhu Xu's face, with distressed eyes, packed his clothes, closed the door quietly, and backed out.

The news of the emperor's return to the palace had already spread, and Cao Huachun blocked many people who wanted to enter the palace for an audience.

Fortunately, now that the year is approaching, no one wants to cause trouble, and there is nothing serious about it.

Concubine Zheng's funeral was naturally handled quietly, and according to the etiquette, it was handled by the Ministry of Rites, but everyone in the world didn't like her. The common people thought she was a "treacherous concubine", and all officials thought she was a "virtuous concubine". , as the son of Emperor Taichang and the younger brother of Emperor Tianqi, the current emperor naturally doesn't like him either.

Therefore, Concubine Zheng's funeral was done quietly and hastily.

Not causing trouble does not mean nothing is wrong. Zhu Youjian has more and more memorials for the impeachment of Lai Zongdao. Almost all those who are qualified to participate in the memorials from all over the country are in the memorials.Some people are just expressing their opinions, some are also out of maintaining the "ancestral system", and naturally some are out of personal grievances.

The order in which these memorials entered the palace should be: the General Secretary, the Cabinet, the Supervisor of Rituals, and finally the Imperial Study Room.However, Zhu Xu had changed a lot before. When he came out from the General Secretary, he usually went straight to the Supervisor of Rites, and after passing the screening, he submitted it to the imperial court.

Liu Shimin transferred all the memoirs of impeaching Zhu Youjian and Lai Zongdao to the cabinet. Zhu Youjian saw a burst of fire, and directly ordered the officials all over the world in the name of the cabinet, saying, "Ministers go to stay and listen to the judges, and talk about officials." People should keep the general idea, and don't need to attack all the chapters."

As soon as these words came out, it was like cooking oil in a raging fire, and all the officials in the world exploded. It was supposed to impeach you, but you still dare to silence the world?

Some elders in the literary world and senior officials of the Ministry of Rites were filled with righteous indignation and besieged Prince Xin's Mansion one after another, demanding an explanation.

This group of people wanted to drive him out of the cabinet, and Zhu Youjian was not easy to mess with, so he asked Shuntian Mansion to drive them all away.

These people didn't dare to go to the gate of the palace to make trouble, so they had to go to the Ministry of Rites and ask the Ministry of Rites to give an explanation, clearly explaining the stipulations about "prince" in the ancestral system.

Zhang Woxu is not the gang of Donglin Party who cling to dogma, and I also know that there must be an explanation for this matter. Now it is decided, right and wrong, we should respect the holy judgment."

Sixteen characters, with "reason" in the front and "power" in the back, a two-pronged approach.

"Reason" can still be argued against, but "imperial prestige" cannot be easily touched. Now who doesn't know, everyone in the world can be provoked, and the emperor can't be provoked!

The current emperor is leading the great victory in Liaodong, and his prestige is high, unattainable, and no one can resist it.

Although this group of people were blocked back by the Ministry of Rites, Dongchang was still arresting people in the south and throughout the Ming Dynasty. Tiqi was all over the world, and no one could control them. Dongchang was under the cabinet, and a burst of anger naturally rushed to cabinet.

There are more and more memorials on the impeachment of Zhu Youjian, and these veterans of the literary world have also discovered a new battlefield. They submitted articles to the Chaobao, denouncing Xinwang, almost from head to toe, scolding him for being useless and bruised.

At first, the Ministry of Rites didn't care about it, but it was different after receiving dozens of "manuscripts" in half a day, and they didn't dare to publish them all. They chose a representative one and planned to publish it in the newspaper tomorrow.

Chapter 519 Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief

Zhu Xu's sleep lasted until the sky was about to be judged.

Looking up, she saw Li Jieyu sitting under the window, quietly embroidering something. The setting sun shone on her side face, making her look very holy and beautiful.

Zhu Xu's eyes were fierce, his index finger moved, he jumped off the bed and rushed towards Li Jieyu.

Seeing Zhu Xu woke up, Li Jieyu's pretty face was filled with joy. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhu Xu's intentions, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there are people waiting outside..."

"Don't worry about anyone!" Zhu Xu roared, picked up Li Jieyu, turned around and went to bed.

The big quilt rolls away, the soft voice speaks softly, and it goes on for a long time.

Liu Shimin has been waiting outside the door, listening to the faint movement inside, he calmly waved to the few people in front of him.

The court ladies and inner eunuchs also quietly backed away.

After half an hour, Li Jieyu poked his head out with a blushing face, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu has been waiting outside for a long time."

Zhu Xu put his arms around Li Jieyu and said with a smile: "Let him wait, I won't see whoever comes now."

Li Jieyu only showed one head, panted lightly, and said with winking eyes: "Your Majesty, I'll see you after a while, maybe it's something big."

Zhu Xu was feeling refreshed physically and mentally, so he didn't care about the outside world. His right hand was groping on Li Jieyu, and the exhaustion of the past half month was swept away.

The so-called post-event cigarette is better than a living god, and Zhu Xu's realm was still a little bit worse. He put his arms around Li Jieyu and said: "Let's ignore them. After the Chinese New Year, I will ask the emperor's wife to accept the ceremony and make you a lady first. After I get married, my rank will slowly rise..."

Li Jieyu leaned on Zhu Xu's shoulder, hummed softly, the rules of the palace are strict, if she pops up too quickly, it will attract countless criticisms.

The two of them got tired of it for another half an hour before getting up to take a shower and change clothes.

After leaving the door, Liu Shimin hurried over from outside the door, and said without looking sideways: "The emperor, Horqin, Chahar and other Mongolian tribes have all sent envoys to Beijing to ask to see the emperor."

Li Jieyu stood not far behind Zhu Xu, with low eyebrows and a slightly red face.

Zhu Xu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, looked at the pitch-black sky, and said, "Well, what did the Ministry of War say?"

Liu Shimin said: "Shen Shangshu said that we still need to find out. Chahar should be worried, fearing that Horqin will be even more powerless to fight with Huang Taiji's joining. Horqin's attitude is worth investigating. Other tribes, except Mo Western Mongolia, Monan, and Mobei should be very worried, I'm afraid I still hope that we can send troops to completely wipe out Huang Taiji."

Zhu Xu nodded, looking at the distant night with deep eyes.

Although the situation on the grassland is complicated, it can be said to be simple.

After Nurhachi and Huang Taiji's repeated crusades on the grassland, the real big force is only Horqin, Chahar has been beaten and maimed long ago, and other tribes can only be regarded as lingering.Now that Horqin has the ability to dominate the grassland, no matter what their relationship with Horqin was before, they will now worry about being annexed.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xu calmly said: "Let Shen Yongmao talk about it. Simply put, it's eight words 'befriend the distant and attack the near, hoe the strong and support the weak'."

Liu Shimin thought about these eight words, and said in response: "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu counted the time, and there are still ten days to a year, which is neither too much nor too little, and said: "The king of Chuanxin came to the imperial study, I should have a good talk with him."

Liu Shimin glanced at Zhu Xu, his eyes flickered with worry, and said, "Yes."

As soon as Liu Shimin left, Zhu Xu turned to look at Li Jieyu behind him.

Li Jieyu was staring at Zhu Xu's back in a daze, suddenly startled, and hurriedly said: "Send off to the emperor."

Zhu Xu smiled and walked towards the imperial study in a happy mood.

When he came to the imperial study room, Zhu Xu habitually picked up the memorial book, the first one was Bi Ziyan's.

The memorial describes in detail the provincial reforms and political reforms in several provinces in the Southwest. Bi Ziyan's actions are relatively conservative, step by step, so the balance is slow.

However, the provincial reform has been completed, and the political reform is being implemented step by step. He also mentioned several people in his memorial, among which he praised Wang Sanshan, Lu Qin and others, saying that they played a role in quelling the chaos in Guizhou and the Southwest. achievement.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, Wang Sanshan...Qin Liangyu's memorabilia also mentioned it many times, praised him, if the opportunity is right, he can be transferred to the capital.
