"In the southwest, the power of the English in the Mughal Empire is getting stronger and stronger, and now the English seem to have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, their country is in a civil war, and the royal family is inseparable from the so-called parliament!"

Zhu Cihong said solemnly: "There will be no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests, once they complete the internal integration, I will have a conflict with them in the southeast sea, and the relationship will only deteriorate rapidly!" ”

"The sea power of the Taixi countries is very strong, and my Ming navy has just started, and the vast sea territory must be defended in all directions, which will contain a lot of troops."

"As long as my Ming encounters difficulties somewhere, these Western robbers, such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries, will not hesitate to come up and bite hard!"

Xu Chenyun nodded frequently when she heard this, although she was a woman, she had also gone to sea with her family, been to the Taixi countries, heard about the black slave trade, and understood the expansionist ambitions of Western colonists.

I still remember that time in the ocean, some islands in the vast sea, which were full of slaughtered natives, and some of the sea areas were still floating with the corpses of black people, which was terrible to see.

I only heard Zhu Cihong say again: "This is the strong enemy on the periphery of the Ming Dynasty now, every step of the Ming Dynasty is related to the fortune of the country, and if you are not careful, you will be poured into the division by these powers, and the imperial court will send troops to the east, which is to deter the enemy!" ”

"There are still some diehards in the Ming Dynasty, there are still some diehards who are ready to move, court officials are vying for power, and local officials are corrupt and rampant, causing trouble to the people!"

"Even some royal clans only know pleasure and never think about the future of the Ming Dynasty, but they don't know that no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be broken from the inside."

"If it weren't for the strength of today, suppressed them, and made them all converge, I'm afraid that the big tree of Daming will be gnawed down by them sooner or later!"

"Daming is now the time of internal and external troubles, and today we are constantly purging these people with strong means, in order to rejuvenate Daming again!"

After listening to what Zhu Cihong said, Xu Chenyun was extremely shocked, especially the latter words, if they were spread, they would be all rebellious words!

Although today's son relaxed his remarks, it also depends on what the words are, which are related to the royal family and court officials, and it is definitely the old birthday star who eats arsenic and doesn't want to live.

When the little maid Qiuyue heard this, she subconsciously moved her body back, and looked around carefully, her eyes were full of nervousness, and she also implied that her young lady should stay away from this dangerous Zhu Gongzi.

How did they know that the one sitting in front of her was the current Son of Heaven.

Xu Chenyun ignored Qiu Yue and said nervously: "Zhu Gongzi, it's better to say less about these words, some forces can't be shaken by individuals, and in the current situation, even today's son doesn't dare to deal with it arbitrarily......"

After taking this opportunity to confide in his heart, Zhu Cihong only felt much more relaxed and refreshed, and he said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Yu Xian for reminding me, you should be a foolish brother who drank too much today." ”

Although he said so, his heart had no waves, and he secretly said that Lao Tzu never picked time to kill.

These days, I am soft-hearted, and rarely interfere in the political affairs of various places and the operation of the yamen everywhere, in order to let more moths relax their vigilance, take the initiative to jump out, and clean them up when the time comes!

Xu Chenyun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and sighed: "It turns out that it is not easy to be today, and you have to deal with so many potential enemies at a young age......

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Brother Yu Xian don't worry, the heart of the Son of Heaven is wide, and some have the means to clean up these people." ”

"Do you really see the Son of Heaven often?" Xu Chenyun looked suspicious.

Zhu Cihong nodded solemnly and said, "That's nature!" I am now a royal camp praise painting, walking in the palace, the Son of Heaven is the same age as me, so I am naturally closer. ”

Xu Chenyun was curious: "Then why hasn't he been drafted for a long time?" Is it for personal reasons? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong was stunned, and then said righteously: "The Son of Heaven is in great health!" There is nothing unspeakable! He has not been drafted for a long time because the world is undecided and he has no intention of starting a family! ”

Xu Chenyun was a little dissatisfied: "If you don't want to start a family, do you have to let school-age women from all over the country wait with him?" ”

Since the new emperor ascended the throne in the first year of Tianwu and reached the marriageable age, the imperial court has announced to the world that the marriage of the common people will be completely stopped, and all women of appropriate age must wait for the selection of concubines.

It's just that Zhu Cihong was seventeen years old at the time and had never been drafted, so the imperial court had to raise the marriageable age from thirteen to sixteen years old to fifteen to eighteen years old, waiting for eight rounds of auditions.

Zhu Cihong's official draft has not been issued for a long time, and those older girls who have been waiting for two years are very anxious at home.

According to the proportion of the population of the Ming Dynasty, the probability of finally entering the palace through the general election to become the imperial concubine is only 1 in 10 million.

Even though the emperor is young and excellent and supreme, not everyone is willing to marry the emperor.

Xu Chenyun was reluctant to participate in the selection of concubines, thinking that once she entered the palace, she was as deep as the sea, and she would never see outsiders, and she would rarely have the opportunity to even see her parents, which was no different from being imprisoned.

But she is helpless, as the first batch of women in the Ming Dynasty who have innovated their marriage age, now they have to accompany the Son of Heaven to slowly survive, God knows what his future will look like.

Zhu Cihong smiled meaningfully: "Miss Xu is captivating the country and the city, if the Son of Heaven sees it, I am afraid that I will have no intention of drafting." ”

Xu Chenyun glanced at him, feeling a little lost in his heart.

At this moment, several horses galloped in the distance, and the eldest princess Zhu Yujiao, who had been playing for most of the day, found this place.

Seeing the situation on the elder brother's side, Zhu Yujiao and the others were obviously stunned, and then the smiling horses circled around.

Being surrounded by people, Xu Chenyun was a little unnatural, and wondered: "Who are they?" ”

Zhu Cihong explained: "That's my sister, and then my younger brother, who came out to go on a youth tour together today." ”

Xu Chenyun's face flushed, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "Your sister is so beautiful!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled at her and said, "It's not as good as Rumei!" ”

Although she gradually became immune to Zhu Gongzi's words, Xu Chenyun's heart was still a little inexplicably excited.

Under her gaze, the two bowed their heads and said goodbye.

As soon as Xu Chenyun left, Zhu Yujiao came up gossiping and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, who is that girl?" ”

Dingwang Zhu Cijiong also said: "Yes, brother Huang, who is that girl, so beautiful!" ”

Zhu Cihong ignored them, turned over and whipped and said, "Don't talk nonsense, go back to the palace!" ”

"Drive!"

Zhu Cihong happily whipped the horsewhip, feeling very comfortable, and felt that the world was a little brighter......

Several other people hurriedly followed, the Son of Heaven is affectionate, and the position of the middle palace is afraid that it will soon be settled, which is a big deal.
