Domineering Daming

"Yeah, since the current emperor took the throne six years ago, this year is the biggest change..."

"First King Jing entered the cabinet, Dali Temple was promoted, and Wang Qiaonian entered the cabinet. The cabinet is not over yet, and it's the turn of the Six Departments..."

"It's understandable for Sun Chuanting to join the cabinet. Mr. Sun has been in Liaodong for many years, and his rank and qualifications are sufficient. But Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu are the emperor's confidantes, and they are going to be transferred out of Beijing..."

"Fu Changzong is the prime minister of the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. This is a promotion. Zhou Yingqiu is the prime minister of Liaodong. It is also a promotion, but it always feels that he has been out of favor and has been assigned!"

"Zhao Han was transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was transferred from the governor of a province. It was considered an exceptional promotion. Zhang Bingwen was originally the servant of the Ministry of Households, so it was a matter of course for him to be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Households..."

"Anyway, this change is not small. I have heard that it is the result of the cabinet's urging and the emperor's concession..."

"You said, is it because the adults in the court finally can't stand the emperor's perverse behavior and no longer bow their heads and obey orders?"

"It's possible that Mr. Sun Ge personally led troops to suppress Cao Wenzhao yesterday, and even Cao Wenzhao bowed his head. It can be seen that the cabinet may be really dissatisfied with the emperor, and finally wants to resist..."

I don't know how many places have come to similar conclusions, and then spread rapidly in all directions in the capital like a plague.

On Fuchengmen Street, sisters Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun met. They were wearing thick jackets, one red and the other green. They looked pretty seductive as sisters.

Without waiting for the two to salute, Zhu Xu waved his hands and said, "Today we are visiting incognito, so you don't need to be formal, just call me Mr. Zhu."

Zhang Yun pursed his lips lightly, bent down and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhu."

Zhang Shu was more lively, and said with a smile: "Yes, the little girl has met Mr. Zhu."

Just as Zhu Xu was about to speak with a smile, Xiao Yongning rushed over, hugged Zhang Yun, raised his head, and said pitifully: "Auntie, the emperor is bullying!"

Zhang Yun smiled lightly, held her little hand, and said, "I'll buy what the princess wants to eat for you."

"I want to eat cakes, salty ones, and soup, preferably chicken soup or fish soup..." The little girl said innocently.

Zhang Yun glanced at Zhu Xu, and said softly, "Okay."

"Thank you, auntie." The little girl hugged Zhang Yun vigorously, then turned her head to look at Zhu Xu, blinking her eyes with a smile.

Zhu Xu pointed at her, looked at Zhang Yun and the sisters, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's go shopping casually today, and I will also buy some new year's goods for the palace."

Nowadays, people don't celebrate the New Year very much, and the Lantern Festival is the most important thing, but they don't care about it at all.

Zhang Yun said "Yes", and took Xiao Yongning with his right hand, following Zhu Xu's left side.

Just a few steps away, a group of children rushed over, jumping up and down, singing something, when they got closer, everyone's expressions changed.

"If the situation is right, if you believe in the king, you will not be the king. After six years of power, the Ming Dynasty will perish..."

Zhang Shu turned pale with fright, pulled her sister and hid behind her.

Zhang Yun also showed worry, and looked at Zhu Xu cautiously.

Behind Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun, Wang Yizhou and the others all looked slightly cold, watching the group of children jumping and jumping past, and then they all looked at Zhu Xu.

Chapter 871

The nursery rhyme lingered, Zhu Xu pinched his chin and watched the group of people drift away.

He was not very angry, there had been many rumors slandering him inside and outside the capital these years, if everyone was angry, he would be exhausted to death.It's just that he was a little curious, how did these rumors last so long?

"Young master." Cao Huachun stepped forward and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Do you want someone to touch it?"

Zhu Xu raised his hand and said, "No need, we are here for shopping, let's go to Baita Temple."

As usual, the Zhang Yun Overseas Chinese Federation explained softly: "Young master Zhu, the Baita Temple is the most popular now, and it is said that everything you ask for can come true."

Zhu Xu shook his head, raised his foot forward and said, "That's good, I'll go and ask, and see if the gods and Buddhas in the sky can make my wish come true."

Several people walked forward slowly again immediately, Zhang Shu looked at Zhu Xu, blinked her big watery eyes and said, "Young Master Zhu, what wish do you want to make?"

Zhu Xu looked at the people coming and going on both sides, and said with a smile: "The country will last forever, and the world will be peaceful."

Zhang Shu quietly rolled her eyes, took her sister's arm, and muttered quietly.

Zhang Yun gave her a dark look, then turned to look at Xiao Yongning on the right, and said, "Princess, what wish do you want to make?"

The little girl looked up at Zhang Yun, blinked her big eyes, and said crisply: "Uncle Emperor's wish is my wish." After speaking, she looked at Zhu Xu with a flattering expression.

Zhu Xu laughed, this girl never missed the chance to be good.

Both sides of the road gradually became lively, with people coming and going in an endless stream.

"Uncle Huang, is that from Xiyi?" Suddenly, Xiao Yongning tugged at Zhu Xu's sleeve and asked while looking at a shop not far away.

Zhu Xu looked up and saw several tall Europeans arguing with the shopkeeper inside a shop.

"Are there many Xiyi in the capital now?" Zhu Xu turned to look at Cao Huachun behind him.

Cao Huachun took a look and said, "It shouldn't be many. The two-year permit issued by Nanzhili Jinyin Village this year is only 200 people, and the number of people who can freely enter and leave the entire Ming Dynasty is only 50 people. If you want to enter Beijing, you need special approval from the capital. I don't think there are many people." people."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. Daming's business is gradually opening up, and it needs to be cautious for the time being. It cannot be fully opened to avoid getting out of control.

It is not the first time that the two sisters, Zhang Yun and Zhang Shu, have met, and there is nothing new about it. Zhang Shu looked at Xiao Yongning and said, "Princess, in fact, these Xiyi people are not good at all. Stain."

The little girl didn't go out of the palace many times, but it was the first time I saw her, and she stared at her very curiously.

The yelling of small merchants and peddlers seemed to ring out suddenly, rumbling continuously.

"Oranges, fresh oranges, cucumbers, cucumbers, freshly picked cucumbers..."

"Grapes, fresh grapes, juicy grapes..."

"It is produced in the Royal Manor, come and take a look..."

As soon as Xiao Yongning heard this, he pulled Zhang Yun and ran towards the shop, shouting: "Auntie, I want to eat oranges..."

Zhang Yun was dragged for a few steps, then turned to look at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu followed up and said, "It's okay, you can eat and play as you like, and I will pay for it, so you don't have to be restrained."

Zhang Yun just smiled and was dragged to the shop by Xiao Yongning before he could speak.

The little girl stretched out her two small hands to grab the oranges, and after grabbing the oranges, she grabbed the grapes, and said: "I want this, this, this, and this..."

This is an out-of-season fruit shop, the boy was overjoyed, and sang, "Well, this, this, and this..."

Zhang Yun and Zhang Shu followed Xiao Yongning. Although the Zhang family was not a small family, they were not that noble. It was the first time they saw these new things in winter, and they were very surprised.

As for Xiao Yongning, she is purely curious, she has long been tired of eating in the palace.

The so-called Royal Manor was a joint venture between Zhu Xu and King Ping back then. It was specialized in supplying the clan, and also did some business outside to supplement the expenses of the clan. It was later assigned to Honglu Temple.
