There are still two days to go before the Chinese New Year, and the 'Ten Articles for Governing Shaanxi' have basically been passed, and they will only be promulgated at an appropriate time after the New Year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But the courtiers were worried, and the emperor's attitude was becoming more and more arbitrary.

On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Youzhen's petition was belated, and in the end he was sincere and had a good attitude, but Zhu Xu did not immediately 'pardon' him and allow him to return to the cabinet.

This year's capital is more lively than in previous years, even though the Ming Dynasty is full of disasters, but the law of the imperial court is becoming more and more severe, effectively curbing a part of the corrupt government, plus the imperial court calmed Liaodong, the atmosphere is particularly warm.

The streets and alleys of the capital are very lively, coming and going, and the crowds are flowing.

Generally speaking, Zhu Xu's new deal has benefited more and more people, and there are more and more small merchants and hawkers, and life is better than in previous years.

Chinese New Year's Eve, Cining Palace.

"This rabbit lantern? How pretty? If only it could be put in the sky......"

"Uncle Huang, shall we put Kong Ming lanterns?"

"Uncle Huang, the fireworks outside the palace are so beautiful, and they are also set off in the palace, okay......"

"Uncle Huang, I want to go out to play, you can take me out......"

Xiao Yongning looked at a bunch of gadgets sent by Zhu Xu, shouted and screamed, and then pulled Zhu Xu's arm and behaved cutely.

Old monk Zhu Xu sat down and ignored it completely. This girl is the little demon king in the palace, no one can cure it except the Empress Dowager Zhang, if she leaves the palace, she must make a big mess.

Li Jieyu sat beside Zhu Xu, looked at her and smiled: "Princess, a few years ago, fireworks burned down the three major halls, and later the emperor strictly forbade fireworks in the palace. ”

Yongning glanced at Li Jieyu, flattened his mouth, and his big eyes were moist, as if he could cry at any time.

Zhu Xu has a headache, this girl's 'crying scene' is very good, she can really cry, just like the real thing, so she had to say: "Don't pretend to me, be careful that the imperial sister-in-law comes out and confines you." ”

The little girl became more and more flattened, crying.

Li Xie Yu looked at the little girl with a chuckle and said, "Princess, you are going to cry, three days of confinement is indispensable." ”

The little girl's eyes widened, her two little hands wiped around her face, and then she giggled and said: "Then I won't cry, Aunt Yu, can you take me out to play, Uncle Huang has changed now, and he doesn't hurt me anymore......"

Li Jieyu has been canonized as an eight-grade 'lady', where can he easily get out of the palace, hugged Xiao Yongning and said: "There is actually nothing fun outside the palace, if you like something, I will let people go out and buy it." ”

The little girl snorted, came out of Li Jieyu's arms, and lay on the table, with a flat mouth and a look of grievance.

Empress Dowager Zhang walked out of it, her whole body was wrapped thickly, she was uncomfortable in winter, and when she walked in, she hit Xiao Yongning with her hand and said, "Sit down!" ”

The little girl immediately sat up straight, with a straight face, and was serious.

Zhu Xu shook her head secretly, this girl doesn't know who to learn from, it's really not easy for the imperial sister-in-law......

Empress Dowager Zhang sat down, and Huan'er arranged to serve the food, and it didn't take long for the steaming dishes to fill the table.

"I'm going to eat shrimp, I'm going to eat fish......"

The little girl stood up and stretched out her hands to grab the red, steaming prawns.

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, and the chopsticks hit Xiao Yongning's hand again and again, and said coldly: "Give me a little rules!" ”

The little girl flattened her mouth, sat up straight, held chopsticks, and struggled to hold the prawns.

Zhu Xu was helpless, so he directly clipped one to her, and then looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, I heard that you are going to have a banquet for the noble wife of the clan after the New Year?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't have much appetite, her face was slightly pale, and she said with a smile: "Well, it's also a convention, and the interpretation will come when the time comes." ”

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "After the year, I will also summon officials from all over the world to enter Beijing, and when the time comes, I will also let them bring their families, and if necessary, I will also seal some edicts, and I will bother the imperial sister-in-law to see you again." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled lightly and said, "What's the trouble here, just call it." ”

Zhu Xu smiled, chopsticks for Empress Dowager Zhang to eat, and said, "Sister-in-law eat more." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded lightly, looking at the emperor who had grown up, she was also quite emotional. She remembered that he was only three years old when she took him over, and he was unusually calm at a young age, and the next two years were also very calm, and the little one ate and slept quietly, not causing trouble. But after the age of five, she couldn't get it right, and the little guy's mind was a set, which made her worry.

But who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, the original child has grown up, and now he is the emperor who reigns over the world, and has made impressive achievements.

Thinking of this, she smiled at the corner of her mouth and looked relieved.

Zhu Xu didn't notice this, and gave Li Xie Yu some more, and said, "Don't be restrained, it's all a family." ”

Li Xie Yu hummed softly, she had been in the palace for many days, and naturally knew that the emperor and Empress Dowager Zhang were extraordinary uncles and sisters-in-law.

According to the etiquette, Zhu Xu was going to have a big banquet with the clan, but he always hated this set, and ordered the celebrant to prepare a reward and send it one by one on Chinese New Year's Eve to show his favor.

After eating and resting for a while in Cining Palace, a group of people went to Concubine Liu's to drink tea again, in order to express filial piety.

Halfway through the hour, the dull bell echoed in the palace, melodiously outside the palace, which heralded the end of the four years of Chongzhen and the first year of Jingzheng.

Now it is the New Year's holiday, and the officials in the capital are rarely relieved, but the people are very lively, with lights everywhere and the hustle and bustle.

After a few days of hurrying, Zhu Xu rarely had no one to disturb him, so he stayed in Jingyang Palace, quietly reading books and thinking about things.

The Ministry of Rites' morning newspaper did not rest, and several messages were logged in one after another.

For example, the excerpts and comments of the letter king's request for sin, the joint article of the courtiers congratulating the change of the yuan, the emperor's amnesty to the world, and the imperial court once again reduced the taxes of the southwestern provinces, etc......

The first year of Jingzheng, the sixth day of the first month. Jingyang Palace, inside the gazebo.

Yao Qingqing, Cao Huachun, Cao Wenzhao, and Zhu Xu gathered together and were 'shabu-shabu'.

There were already two empty jars on the side, but the heat in the pavilion was still increasing.

Cao Wenzhao may have been in the army for a long time, his voice was rough, his tone was quite arrogant, and he said loudly, "Your Majesty, it's not my old Cao bragging, my tiger army, even if I face the cavalry of Jiannu now, I dare to fight!" ”

Zhu Xu drank a little too much, his face was red, his mind was still sober, and he pointed at him with a smile and said, "Your cowhide is a bit big, it's hard for me to believe it......"

Cao Wenzhao waved his hand, drunk and hazy, opened his eyes strongly, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen our drills, Lao Cao please see it when you are free, a thousand zhang away, the cannon can be exploded, such a long distance, enough for me to curb the cavalry charge, they want to dismount and fight, and then taste my Lao Cao's short spear, so come and go, I have 30,000 tiger troops, kill 20,000 cavalry, more than enough......"

Zhu Xu laughed when he heard it, Daming's current artillery is okay to defend the city, but it is not possible to fight in the field, and it must be placed on a high place to fire the cannon to be powerful.

Zhu Xu's heart moved at this time, he kept letting go of the Ordnance Bureau to study, and he hadn't gone to see it in person for a long time.

Cao Huachun has always been quite cautious and has not drunk too much, he knows the truth that a companion is like a tiger.

Yao Qingqing has let go a lot, she has been in the dust for many years, she has been waiting for Bi Maokang for ten years, she gave birth to a child a few years ago, and she finally has a home, and she is most grateful to Zhu Xu.

She listened to Cao Wenzhao's wine words, as if she had returned to the days of Jinghuan Palace, stood up with a wine glass, bowed to Zhu Xu and said: "The concubine thanks the emperor for his recreation, please drink a full cup of the emperor." ”

Zhu Xu looked at her and smiled, and said, "I hope that everyone in the world will live well, not to mention that I am still the person next to me, so there is no need to be polite." As he spoke, he picked up his glass and threw himself up.

Yao Qingqing also took a dry mouthful, his face was slightly red, and he said softly: "The concubine still wants to thank the emperor." ”

Cao Wenzhao drank the most, waved his hand to Yao Qingqing staggeringly, and said, "Don't be like this, the emperor doesn't like to be restrained......"

Yao Qingqing smiled and picked a piece of meat clip from the boiling pot and gave it to Zhu Xu.

Cao Huachun looked at Cao Wenzhao's rude appearance, and secretly sighed in his heart, this time is different from the past, who can still be 'unrestrained' in front of the emperor now?

Zhu Xu hadn't been so happy for a long time, looking at Cao Wenzhao's drunken state, he said with a smile: "That's right, those who know me, Lao Cao!" Come on, keep drinking! ”

"Drink!"

Cao Wenzhao raised his glass and was arrogant.

This meal was drunk for more than an hour, and everyone was drunk, even Yao Qingqing, who didn't drink much, and Cao Huachun, who tried his best to stay calm, were drunk and couldn't speak clearly.

Li Jieyu received a notice from the palace maid to bring people over and take a few people away.

Zhu Xu returned to Li Jieyu's dormitory, Cao Wenzhao was taken away by Cao Bianjiao, Cao Huachun was taken away by an apprentice, and Yao Qingqing was also placed in a side room with special care.

Zhu Xu was drunk in the palace, and the smell of the New Year outside the palace gradually faded.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, after some foreshadowing in the court newspaper, the edict of pardoning King Xin finally came down, King Xin asked for guilt, and the emperor also reprimanded and punished.

According to Sun Chengzong's and Bi Ziyan's arrangement, before the civilian meeting was held, a military meeting was held to determine the military powers, military system, and ranks, to rectify the army, to demarcate the theater of operations, to arrange personnel, and so on.

At present, there are 18 provinces in the Ming Dynasty, it stands to reason that there should be 18 general soldiers, but in fact this is not the case, whether it is Liaodong, or the southwest, the military system is relatively chaotic, and the military ranks are not clear enough, plus the victory in Liaodong, it is inevitable to reward meritorious deeds, and carry out new personnel arrangements, coupled with the risk of civil unrest in the southwest gradually have a consensus at the top of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers want to sort out the relationship between the military and the government, and thoroughly stabilize the military and the people.

This is also why Cao Wenzhao will be in the capital, the mountain. The west is very close to the capital, and I rushed over as soon as I received the order.

With the revival of the cabinet, the change of the yuan, the emperor summoned hundreds of officials to Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty and the opposition all knew that this was an important step in the emperor's new policy, and it was a cleanup, summary, confirmation, and a clear and unambiguous declaration and announcement to the world of a series of new policies in the past five years!
