Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu has thought about this for a long time, but the cabinet must be restricted. Now that the Governor's Council is immature, such a "counter-control" by the local government is also conducive to their subjective initiative, instead of relying on the court for everything and being overstaffed. passive.

Zhu Xu said: "The specific methods and methods can be discussed by the cabinet, but the opinions of the local governments must be given a chance to fully express. It is unreliable to rely entirely on the memorial..."

If Bi Ziyan realized something, he thought for a while and said: "Yes, after I return, I will discuss a specific method according to the emperor's wishes, and then present it to the emperor."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and then said: "Since Sun Chuanting is determined to enter Beijing, don't delay other matters. Zhou Yingqiu, Fu Changzong, and the six ministers, your cabinet should come up with an arrangement as soon as possible, so you don't have to delay the Chinese New Year. Make it early to reassure people... ..."

Regarding the arrangement of these people, Zhu Xu also discussed with Bi Ziyan. Hearing this, Bi Ziyan said: "Yes, after the minister returns, he will call the cabinet and discuss with the six ministers. It will be finalized as soon as possible. Regarding the demotion, the Royal Political Council Regarding the matter, the minister also intends to issue an imperial edict before the end of the year, so as not to affect the general discussion."

Zhu Xu stood up, nodded with a wave of his hand and said: "Well, I will enter the cabinet tomorrow, get ready, and send it over for my seal."

"Observe the order." Bi Ziyan got up and glanced at Zhu Xu quietly.

Although he failed to get the emperor to fully agree with his memorandum, he discovered a surprise, that is, the emperor's attitude seemed to have changed, and he did not intend to continue to suppress the cabinet.

Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's back, pinched his chin and thought for a while, Er laughed.

Although Bi Ziyan is not the kind of capable and courageous pioneer he wanted, it is also commendable to be able to work tirelessly and bear the burden of hard work.

"Bad guy!" The little girl buried her head in writing and muttered in a low voice.

The room was very quiet, Zhu Xu heard it immediately, frowned, and said, "Copy it three times, or you won't be allowed to eat!"

The little girl's eyes widened immediately, and she said angrily: "Uncle Huang, you are bullying!"

Zhu Xu ignored her, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "What's the situation over there at the Ministry of War?"

Seeing Zhu Xu ignoring him, the little girl said angrily, "I want to find my mother to judge!"

Cao Huachun was used to the bickering between his nephew and uncle, so he took a step forward and said, "Master Lu has taken over the patrol battalion. There seems to be some voices from the Ministry of War, but Mr. Sun Ge suppressed it. For the time being, we don't have a complete idea about the military reform. .”

Zhu Xu said "Oh", looked at him and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not that I don't have a complete idea, but I'm worried that I will reject it again, and I'm trying to figure out how to persuade me?"

Cao Huachun bowed slightly, but did not speak.

Sun Chengzong quietly communicated with many people in the military, hoping to unite to persuade the emperor and prevent the unity of military power.Naturally, these cannot be hidden from the emperor, and some memorials have even entered the Sili Supervisor.

Zhu Xu actually understood Sun Chengzong's thoughts, but the unification of military power is the general trend of history, and the current situation in Ming Dynasty is not suitable for continuing to disperse military power. This matter cannot be opposed or delayed by them.

Chapter 856

Zhu Xu poured another cup of tea and lay on the bed, still thinking freely.

Sun Chengzong and others were quite firm in their thinking, and it was not so easy to persuade them, and he still couldn't really bypass them.Daming's current military system is basically completed by Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War. It is a joke to say that bypassing them will bypass them!

They should also know this, so they are trying their best to hope that Zhu Xu can give up the idea of ​​unifying military power.

Zhu Xu held the tea lid in his right hand, fiddled with the tea, thinking about it.

The military reform is a matter of great importance, and it needs to be promoted by cautious and extremely reliable people. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there is no one who is more suitable and more reassuring than Sun Chengzong.

Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and others are still a little behind, and Qin Liangyu is not convincing enough, so this matter has to fall on Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others.

After several years of tossing, it is not easy for this group of people to stick to Zhu Xu and do things willingly. Zhu Xu does not want to scare them all away, but there must be a safe way.

"Things can be resolved slowly..." Zhu Xu was secretly vigilant in his heart, and he couldn't act too hastily.

"It's finished, I'll go back to the palace!"

Suddenly, Xiao Yongning jumped off the slump and ran out of the door quickly.

Looking at her back, Zhu Xu frowned slightly, and suddenly his eyes lighted up, and said: "Cao Huachun, let out the rumors, saying that I want to form a Grand Marshal's Mansion, and Cao Wenzhao will be the Grand Marshal, who will rule the world's armies. If you want to abolish the military department, how can you exaggerate it..."

Cao Huachun was startled, his expression was slightly concentrating, he took two steps forward, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, are you releasing him from the Supervisor of Rites or from the Cabinet?"

Zhu Xu looked at him, and his heart moved slightly. The meanings of these two places are completely different. He thought about it and said, "Don't bother, just hang out outside. Don't let people find out. The movement should be big."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded, and just as he was about to turn around, he said again: "Your Majesty, the Japanese envoys No. 18 have asked for an audience, and their attitude is very firm. They must see the Emperor, almost every one or two days."

Zhu Xu put the teacup on the table, sat up straight, pinched his chin and said to himself: "That little guy Yongning must be going to sue me for his mouth, I have to hurry over there...you should keep an eye on it."

"Yes." Cao Huachun understood, and turned to make arrangements.

Zhu Xu stood up, stretched his arms, smiled and left Qianqing Palace, went to Yuzao Palace, picked up Li Jieyu and two children, and rushed to Compassionate Palace.

Recently, little Yongning has been trained a lot. If the little guy talks nonsense, Queen Mother Zhang will not be able to explain it.

Cao Huachun left the warm pavilion and went to a room not far away.

Because Zhu Xu felt that the supervisor of rites was too far away, he moved most of the duties of the supervisor of ceremonies here. Liu Shimin was presiding over the daily affairs, and now he was immersed in some regulations.

"Eunuch Liu, are you busy?" Cao Huachun came in, changed his cautiousness in front of Zhu Xu, and said with a smile.He has worked with Liu Shimin for many years, but because of their sensitive identities, it seems that their friendship has always been close, but far away.

Liu Shimin raised his head, adjusted to the dim light, then stood up and said with a smile, "Eunuch Cao, what does the emperor need?"

Cao Huachun sat down on a chair not far away, beat his legs, rubbed his shoulders, and said with a sigh of relief: "No, the emperor and Li Niangniang went to the Compassion Palace for dinner, I will take the opportunity to be lazy."

Liu Shimin nodded, poured a cup of tea for him, and said, "Then sit down for a while, I really have something to ask."

Cao Huachun took it, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said, "What is it?"

Sitting opposite him, Liu Shimin said, "The emperor will join the cabinet tomorrow to govern with his ministers. How should the affairs of the chief of ceremonies and a series of procedures be arranged and changed in the future?"

Cao Huachun laughed, and said: "The general affairs envoy has been merged into the cabinet, and the external affairs are smooth, and the internal affairs are smooth. Naturally, the supervisor of ceremonies will follow the emperor. I have seen the rooms arranged by the cabinet. In the emperor's classroom, one is for me, one is for you, and the other four are for the supervisor..."

This Liu Shimin naturally knew that what he was asking was about the details of handling affairs in the future, holding the teacup, he looked at Cao Huachun without saying a word.

Cao Huachun shook his head and laughed again, and said, "Follow, you will know within a day."

Liu Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then thoughtfully said: "You... are smarter than me."

Cao Huachun smiled slightly, looked around, and said, "What's the matter with the Japanese envoy?"

Liu Shimin said: "What does the emperor want to ask? What do you want to know?"

Cao Huachun looked solemn, and said, "Every move they make."

Liu Shimin got up, searched in front of the bookshelf, took out a document, opened it, looked at it, and said: "There are 17 envoys from the Japanese country, but there are actually 26 people. They landed in Tianjin Wei, and another wave pretended to be ordinary people." , Infiltrated into the capital, they collected all kinds of information about my Daming, and even bribed some officials, as if they wanted to know something deeper, they came in and out quite frequently..."

Cao Huachun's expression turned cold, and he said: "Your Majesty is indeed right, this Japanese man harbors evil intentions and should not be underestimated!"

Liu Shimin also nodded, and said: "Jin Yiwei sent a lot of information. It is said that if the Kyushu Islanders were not in chaos, the generals of the Wa Kingdom would attack the Satsuma Fan. Did the Emperor have any orders?"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said: "The emperor didn't say anything, it seems that he intends to let it develop and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Liu Shimin understood that this was in line with their emperor's character, and said, "Okay, I know, I will pay attention."

Cao Huachun glanced at the document in his hand, and said: "Well, I will also take it with me when I go to the cabinet tomorrow, the emperor may want to read it."
