An hour later, Zhou Yingqiu came out of the Qianqing Palace, and his heart was heavy.

His mind has always been sharp, and he heard something from Zhu Xu's words that made him uneasy, and he couldn't explain it clearly, which made him uneasy.

Out of the Qianqing Gate, Zhou Yingqiu was silent for a while, and then turned around and went to the cabinet.

After staying in the cabinet for half an hour, he left the palace and walked outside the city gate - Sun Chuanting was almost there.

Zhu Xu sat in the warm pavilion, still thinking about Zhou Yingqiu's words, and after a while, he looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "My recent actions really seem like I want to reconcile with those people and things?" ”

Cao Huachun's expression was slightly condensed, and he bowed and said, "The slave doesn't think so." ”

Zhu Xu looked at him, his fingers tapping on the table. Although Cao Huachun doesn't think so, Zhou Yingqiu has such a feeling, and I'm afraid there will be more outside.

'Reconciliation' with the outside world, which seems logical to many people, now that the pattern of the court has changed greatly, he has basically stabilized his power, and the 'New Deal' needs to 'reconcile' with the outside world, and all kinds of conditions seem to be 'great reconciliation' is almost an inevitable move.

But Zhu Xu wouldn't do that at all, what he wanted was a thorough reform, and he wouldn't give those remnants a chance, not even fantasies!

Zhu Xu poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "What arrangements has the cabinet made recently?" ”

Cao Huachun took two steps forward and said: "The cabinet's energy is now mainly for big discussions and military exercises, plus the emperor's wedding, and the rest are in order, 'demoting', judging Qian Qianyi, exile Donglin, etc. ”

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and bowed slightly.

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu have already decided to leave Beijing, and the cabinet's 'henchmen' are gone, and they have become quite calm and impatient.

Now that the Cabinet is on his side, it is already the main force in promoting the 'New Deal', and whether it is intentional or not, according to the plan, it will dispel the illusion of 'reconciliation' in the outside world.

"What has Lao Cao been doing lately?" Zhu Xu put down the teacup and said. After Cao Wenzhao returned to Beijing, he did not come to see him.

Cao Huachun thought for a moment and said, "Lord Cao went to the Royal Military Academy today, and he hasn't come out yet. ”

Zhu Xu groaned and said, "Well, let Sun Chuanting come to see me first, old Cao...... Wait. ”

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu, a little strange in his heart, but still nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Let's go, go to the cabinet." Zhu Xu got up, and his main office location has now been transferred to the cabinet.

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded and ordered someone to prepare to open the way.

Zhu Xu went to the side room again to look at Xiao Yongning, and saw that she was still asleep, so he turned to the cabinet.

A group of people wanted to salute, but Zhu Xu waved his hand and waved back, and went straight to the class room.

Liu Shimin followed closely, holding the plate, as in the imperial study, and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom asks to see you again." The Minister of the Ryukyus, Shang Lian, wrote a letter, hoping to pay tribute to Beijing before the emperor's wedding. King Ping played, North Annan is now stable, and the first immigrants have arrived. In addition, there are governors and governors in various places, and the slaves and maids have all been written briefly, please take a look at the emperor. ”

Zhu Xu nodded, stretched out his hand to take it, took a notebook, and said casually, "Is there anything going on outside?" ”

Liu Shimin has been in the class room outside, and he has been looking at the entire cabinet in all directions, listening to all directions, and said: "Zhou Shangshu has been here and stayed in the old class room of Bige for half an hour. ”

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin both bowed slightly after hearing this, and quietly retreated.

Zhu Xu looked at the notebook in his hand with a somewhat strange expression. Shang Lian said in the notebook that he hoped to send his daughter to Beijing to 'enroll' and study Ming culture. Although he said it was high-sounding, Zhu Xu still saw another meaning between the lines - he was going to send his daughter to the palace!

Zhu Xu tapped lightly on the table with his left hand, looking thoughtful. Ryukyu is very important to the Ming Dynasty, and the current policy is to be gentle, and it can't chill the hearts of the Ryukyu people, but he really doesn't like this marriage.

After thinking about it again and again, he still put it aside and picked up King Ping's recital again.

King Ping's recital is a lot more plain, although most of it is written about government affairs, but there is still a dissatisfaction in it, and it is directed at Dolgon and others. King Ping accused Dolgon and other Jiannu people of now being dominant in Nan Annan, oppressing the other eight provinces, and even more in conflict with Laos.

"Dogs can't change their ...... to eat" Zhu Xu muttered to himself, he had long expected the character of Dolgon and others, and he would never be safe and stable, and he couldn't help it not long after occupying the city of Zhancheng.

The peninsula is not peaceful now, the war is endless, fragmented, plus the influence of the Xiaoice River, very weak, if Dolgon and others use war to feed the war, maybe they can really achieve something.

Zhu Xu naturally will not tolerate the traitor and let him sit big, but they stir up trouble on the peninsula, which is harmless to the Ming Dynasty, and even said that Zhu Xu will support him now. Especially Burma, which fought with the Ming Dynasty for half a century more than ten years ago, and has been at war with the Manchus for another hundred years in history, is an ambitious country!

"Send an order to Taiwan, Bay," Zhu Xu turned to the inner prison not far away, and said: "Ordered Ao Bai to bring 3,000 artillery and 100 cannons to Nan Annan to accept Dolgon's dispatch." By the way, I will send a decree to Dolgon, ordering him to enter Beijing next year. ”

"Yes." After listening, he hurriedly turned to Liu Shimin's class.

Zhu Xu picked up the notebooks from all over the country again, and there was a brief writing by Liu Shimin, which looked more relaxed, and it was not easy to miss anything, and there were still cabinet votes behind these transcripts.

Maybe I've read too many playbooks, and I'm a little numb, these playbooks are the same in Zhu Xu's opinion, and you can know the end by looking at the beginning, and even the words and tone can be guessed clearly.

Zhu Xu usually didn't refute the cabinet's vote before, picked up the paper in his hand, and said secretly in his heart, "It seems that not only the six ministries have to go up to the cabinet, but I also have to put some down......

When Zhu Xu was reviewing the recital, Zhou Yingqiu finally waited for Sun Chuanting at the gate of the city.

"Master Sun."

"Lord Zhou."

The two were very polite when they met, smiling and clasping their fists. One is the former feudal official and the current cabinet minister; One is the former official of the Ministry of Shangshu, the current feudal official, and he is still the predecessor and predecessor, so it is inevitable that they have some 'scruples' about each other.

"Lord Sun is coming later than Xia Guan expected." Zhou Yingqiu said with a rare polite smile. After he left Beijing, his protégés and former officials naturally couldn't let it go, he and Bi Ziyan had not been on good terms for many years, and they needed someone to protect one or two, and Sun Chuanting was the most suitable person.

"There was a delay in Shanhaiguan on the way, but it made Lord Zhou wait for a long time." Although Sun Chuanting was tired of traveling, he was still in good spirits. Zhou Yingqiu wanted to take his place, and Sun Chuanting was also quite worried and scrupled.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't make a detour, and said politely: "Xia Guan just came out of the Qianqing Palace and the cabinet, and he specially waited for Lord Sun here, why don't you go to rest in the Xia Mansion for a day or two and then enter the palace?" ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned, a little enlightened, raised his hand and said, "Then bother Lord Zhou." ”
