Domineering Daming

Liu Rushi glanced at her, bit her lips slightly, and said, "Brother Zhu, can you tell me where the house is, and I will visit you someday."

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.In other words, he had a lot of places outside the palace, but he really didn't have one like a normal rich family.

Liu Rushi looked at Zhu Xu's expression, his heart sank, and he immediately smiled and said, "If it's inconvenient for the family members of the family, my younger sister doesn't dare to disturb her. My younger sister lives in the east of the city, on the west side of the tribute courtyard. If brother Zhu has Empty, my little sister sweeps the couch to welcome you."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "It's really inconvenient where I live. When I have free time, I will definitely visit Ms. Liu."

Liu Rushi has already heard that the "Brother Zhu" in front of her is married and has a family, but with her status, it is impossible to become the main wife. Although she is disappointed, it is not too uncomfortable. She smiled and said: "The little girl is waiting for Brother Zhu, what book has Brother Zhu been reading recently?"

Just as Zhu Xu was about to speak, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "My lord, it's almost time."

Zhu Xu wished to chat with Liu Rushi for a while, after thinking for a while, he still said to Liu Rushi: "Miss Liu, I'm sorry for being rude today, I will definitely pay a visit some other day."

Liu Rushi's eyes were a little disappointed, and she said with a normal expression: "Little sister is waiting for the good news."

Zhu Xu nodded, turned around and turned to the West Princess Gate. From here, he passed through the Chang'an West Gate to enter the Chengtian Gate, walked all the way through the Daming Gate, and went straight back to Qianqing Palace.

Looking at Zhu Xu's back, Liu Rushi didn't know why, but instead of panicking, she calmed down.

Su Xi whispered in Liu Rushi's ear, "Miss, why don't you leave him a new poem?"

There are many means of "communication" with each other on the Qinhuai River, and this exchange of poetry is considered advanced.

Liu Rushi remained motionless, and said softly, "Forgot."

Su Xi looked at her and felt that she had forgotten, but she couldn't figure out why.

Just as Zhu Xu turned around the West Princess Gate, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "The Empress Dowager wants you to make all the preparations for the wedding and report to her, saying that there is no longer any delay."

"Well, I see." After this experience, Zhu Xu had a new understanding of the red tape of Ming Dynasty, and hated it even more.

When Zhu Xu arrived at the Qianqing Palace, a bunch of eunuchs from the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and the Palace of Renshou were already waiting.

Although Zhu Xu didn't wear clothes, brought those things, and didn't have all kinds of ceremonial guards, but under the leadership of a group of eunuchs, he went from the Qianqing Palace to the Zhongji Hall, to the Huangji Hall, and then to the Huangji Gate, and then he had to worship the ancestors. To tell Taimiao, to send the Queen back to Jiaotai Hall after a circle, a series of rituals, even if it is just a simple walk and explain, it took almost three hours.

Zhu Xu was tired, hungry and sleepy, so he managed to finish it.

Finally, Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, after the wedding, there are still many things to do. At that time, the slaves will accompany the Emperor, and the three days can basically be over."

Zhu Xu was almost unsteady. At the beginning, he set aside three days, but he wanted to have a buffer, talk with courtiers, ministers outside Beijing, and make some preparations. Unexpectedly, this big wedding would take three days!

"Let's go to the cabinet. I'll take a nap. If anyone comes looking for me, they'll say that I'm busy." Zhu Xu waved his hand weakly, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Cao Huachun responded with a smile, and accompanied Zhu Xu to the cabinet.

As soon as he entered the cabinet, Zhu Xu sent people away, and lay down in the small living room on his own, with a drowsy mind about to sleep.

Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu was exhausted that night, so he quietly closed the door and asked someone to guard him. Just as he was about to leave, Prince Jing walked over.

"Eunuch Cao, is the Emperor free?" Prince Jing asked with some doubts as he looked at the closed door.

The door of Zhu Xu's room has always been the center of the eyes of everyone in the cabinet. Prince Jing appeared here either brightly or secretly, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it.

Cao Huachun glanced at him from the corner of his eye, looked at Prince Jing bowed slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The emperor is making some preparations for the big wedding. He didn't sleep last night. He just rehearsed the rehearsal, so he just lay down and wants to take a nap. a little while."

Some gazes not far away suddenly disappeared, and there was the sound of doors and windows closing.

Prince Jing looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Please trouble my father-in-law, Xiao Wang has some matters to present to the emperor. When the emperor wakes up, I will report it on my behalf."

Cao Huachun smiled and said, "Okay, the miscellaneous family took note."

At the same time, in Bi Ziyan's classroom, after discussing things, several people started "chatting" with teacups in their arms.

Sun Chuanting held a sheet of music in his hand, and handed it to Bi Ziyan, saying: "This is a sheet music composed by Wang Ling, a great master in Beijing. Take a look at it, my lords, and I think it's pretty good."

— That’s the national anthem.

Bi Ziyan and the others were all masters of the melody. After looking carefully for a while, Bi Ziyan said: "This melody is too high-pitched, and it contains the lofty sentiments that go straight to the sky. I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Sun Chengzong thought about it secretly for a while, and said: "I also think it's not suitable, the emperor probably won't like it."

Sun Chuanting originally thought that Zhu Xu should like this kind of high-spirited and passionate score, and then listened to the two people's words, and said thoughtfully: "Then I will ask the emperor later. This is the pattern of the national flag. The two think how?"

As he spoke, Sun Chuanting took out a pair of colored paintings and spread them on Bi Ziyan's desk.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong stood side by side, staring at the small colored painting.

This is a golden dragon standing on the crimson Forbidden City, hovering upwards, with the sun and the moon facing each other on both sides of the dragon's head. Tarzan.

It looks quite grand and spectacular.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at it for a while, and then looked at each other.

After a long while, Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Is this too complicated?"

Sun Chuanting smiled wryly, and said: "This is collected from the Six Departments. Zheng Youyuan consulted with many people, and finally came up with such a set based on comprehensive opinions."

Sun Chengzong remained expressionless, and said: "Although the implication is full, but according to my understanding of the emperor, he may not like such fancy things."

Sun Chuanting also realized the difficulties of being in the cabinet. It is really not an easy task to take care of all aspects.

Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chuanting, smiled and said: "Bai Gu, don't worry, you are still in the cabinet for a short time, and you don't understand how the court is working now. When the emperor wakes up, you can ask for advice before leaving One lap."

Sun Chengzong immediately understood, and said: "My lord is saying, use the emperor's words to block the mouths of these people?"

"That's right." Bi Ziyan said meaningfully: "In the future, whenever we encounter such complicated things, a word from the emperor will be more useful than us running away."

Sun Chuanting frowned, then immediately raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your guidance, my lord."

Bi Ziyan shook his head with a smile, and said: "You will know this after a while. Our cabinet has made countless enemies now, and we are tied up in doing things. Don't panic when it's time to play the emperor's banner. Sometimes the emperor looks at our ability. , but not the result.”

Sun Chuanting understood, put away the colored painting, and said: "I understand, I will go to the emperor's place later. By the way, King Ping requested that next year's money and grain be allocated in advance to last until the beginning of next spring. What do you two adults think?" "

King Ping's main role in North Annan was to fall like a boulder - to suppress, to suppress Dorgon, to suppress the sky-high generals and governors of Emperor Yuan in Yunnan and other places, and to warn some countries in the southeast peninsula, to declare North Korea's determination.

The governor of North Annan is Wen Tiren, and now he is following the lead of King Ping, and most of the memorials entered Beijing with King Ping.

Bi Ziyan pondered, the reason why King Ping wanted to pay in advance was because he had reduced the money and food to Bei Annan.

Chapter 911

With such a reduction, Bi Ziyan could not be the master alone, and Sun Chengzong also nodded, which resulted in a cabinet decision to "deduct" the money and food for North Annan.

At this time, King Ping wrote a letter asking for money and food, no matter whether it was really not enough or not, the playbook came up.

Sun Chuanting had just entered the cabinet for a few days, and many things were unclear. Now, looking at the expressions of the two cabinet elders, he said thoughtfully, "Could it be that there are some twists and turns here?"

Bi Ziyan looked up at Sun Chuanting, pondered for a while, and said: "Liaodong immigrants have been saturated, and it is difficult to accommodate too many in a short period of time. North Annan is initially determined, Dorgon is vigorously killing, and King Ping is in Shenglong. Two or three hundred will be accepted within two or three years. Ten thousand people are not a problem, this will be of great benefit to the disaster situation across the country, and it will also greatly reduce the burden on the court..."
