At the same time, Sun Chengzong, who was in Beijing, left the capital and rushed straight to Sichuan, and then transferred to Yunnan.

He wanted to meet with Qin Liangyu and inform her of the upcoming arrangements, make new arrangements for the Western Theater, and at the same time go to appease Cao Wenzhao and ensure that there would be no chaos in all aspects of the army.

With the heart-to-heart conversation between Zhu Xu and the two bigwigs of the Ming military and government, they knew the outline of the future situation, so they had to do a lot of things to make arrangements for the upcoming changes in the future to ensure stability.

These are all things at the highest level, and the people below naturally can't see it clearly, and they are still struggling with the changes in the situation where Bi Ziyan Zhishi and Sun Chuanting took over.

Zhu Xu slept comfortably on this foot, and he didn't wake up until the evening, and Zhang Yun beside him didn't know where he went.

Zhu Xu washed up, and Zhang Yun led a few children over.

Zhu Xu watched several children recover their spirits, especially Xiao Shuxian's face was a little ruddy, and she beckoned with a smile, "Come, let's have a meal." ”

The little girl threw herself directly into Zhu Xu's arms, and said coquettishly: "Father, people have a headache and are uncomfortable. ”

Zhu Xu touched the little girl's head, it wasn't too hot, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, my father will feed you." ”

The little girl looked up at her little face and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Zhang Yun arranged for Xiao Ciye, Xiao Cixuan sat down, and let people serve the food.

Zhang Yun looked at Zhu Xu and said: "The concubine has already read the menu, and the dishes arranged in the imperial dining room are all special Jiangxi local dishes, the emperor will try them, if you don't like them, change them back." ”

Zhu Xu didn't care about anything other than spicy food and didn't like it too sweet, nodded, picked up the bowl, looked at the dishes, filled a small bowl for the little girl, and slowly fed it to the little girl.

The little girl's little face blossomed, and she was still quite reserved in Zhu Xu's arms, eating one bite at a time, and glancing at her two younger brothers from time to time.

Xiao Ciye ate by herself, completely unaware of it. Xiao Cixuan was quite envious, but he didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Cixuan has already eaten and is now sleeping in the side hall.

Xiao Shuxian ate for a while, looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "It's full." ”

Zhu Xu put down the bowl, wiped his little face, and said, "Then sleep for a while, and my father will take you back later." ”

The little girl smiled like a flower, stood up and said, "No, people can go back by themselves." The father and the queen mother used it slowly, and Shuxian retired. ”

The little girl was quite surprised, and turned her head to look at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun waited for Xiao Shuxian to leave, and then said with a smile: "It was taught by Princess Yongning." ”

Zhu Xu was suddenly relieved, thinking of Yongning, who was suffering in the capital, shook his head with a smile, and recalled in a reminiscent tone: "Yongning's girl is also an elf and eccentric at this age, and she makes trouble for me all day long, and the imperial sister-in-law also has a headache, so she has learned a lot ......of lessons."

Zhang Yun smiled and said nothing, and served him vegetables. Who in the palace doesn't know that the most favored Princess Yongning is not too thick, but His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Xu saw it from Zhang Yun's smile, coughed, and picked up the bowl to eat.

It didn't take long for Cao Huachun to come in a hurry, handed over a piece of paper that had not dried and said, "Your Majesty, the flying pigeon from the Military Intelligence Department has passed the book." ”

The MI secret reports were all written in ciphers, the handwriting was quite small, and they needed to be translated.

Zhu Xu took it and looked at it, his expression was a little surprised, and then he laughed funny.

The above content is very simple, Dolgon's 100,000-strong army sneaked up on Siam, the army was like a bamboo, and the cavalry took advantage of high mobility to directly besiege Bangkok, which is only one step away from the capital of Siam!

The current southeast peninsula can be said to be three countries, Annam (Daming), Siam, Burma, Siam including Laos, Cambodia, is the largest territory, the most powerful.

Dolgon took advantage of the peace talks between Siam and the Ming Dynasty to deceive Siam with a trick, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to rush to the heart of Siam!

I'm afraid that this information will come too late, and according to Dorgon's ability, it would not be surprising that he would break through Bangkok and besiege the big city now.

Looking at this piece of paper, Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "The lone army is deep, and without backup, it won't last long." What does the Shuai Mansion say? ”

Cao Huachun said: "This secret report came to the emperor and the marshal's mansion at the same time, presumably the capital has not received it yet." ”

Zhu Xu said 'um', put down the piece of paper, and said to himself: "Dolgon is not capable of swallowing Siam in one go, he should know it himself." Such a raid battle is mostly for the negotiation later. Siam annexed Nanzhang in one go, Cambodia, has not yet had time to digest, most of them have no energy to deal with Dolgon, Dolgon may have to take advantage of it......"

Cao Huachun heard a different taste from Zhu Xu's words, his heart moved slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, Dolgon invaded Siam without authorization and disobeyed the holy decree, should he be punished?" ”

"Of course it will be punished,"

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Order, severely reprimand Dolgon, let him come to Jingdezhen to see me, explain well, if he doesn't have enough reasons, let him prepare the coffin in advance!" ”

If this happened to other places in the Ming Dynasty, they would have been directly escorted into Beijing a long time ago, where is there a 'reprimand', and they will enter Beijing by themselves?

Cao Huachun understood and said, "Obey." ”

Cao Huachun retreated, Xiao Cixuan raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu, and said with a small face that could not hide his excitement: "Father, are you going to fight?" ”

Zhu Xu glanced at the little guy and said with a smile: "Not yet, you won't be able to fight for a while, you should practice martial arts and watch the art of war first." ”

It seemed that he was encouraged by Zhu Xu, and the little guy nodded his little head very excitedly, and said, "Yes, the son will not disappoint his father!" In the future, I will definitely be able to lead a large army to quell the rebellion for my father! ”

The little guy said it very hard, and he was very serious.

Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Zhang Yun in some surprise, these little guys have grown a lot.

Zhang Yun laughed softly: "Uncle Xinjian will teach Ye'er a lesson, and Xuan'er will also go." ”

The new generation of Bo is not only prosperous in literary style, the first generation of Xinjian Bo Wang Shouren is a martial arts, the Ming Dynasty is a handful, and there is no unsurpassed talent.

Zhu Xu looked at Xiao Cixuan and said approvingly: "Very good, after you go back, you will take classes well, the new uncle's house must have a lot of military books, you have to find a way to learn it from me." ”

"Yes, the retainer obeys!" The little guy held his chest and spoke loudly, and then he couldn't help laughing, and hugged the bowl embarrassedly.

In the end, Zhu Xu didn't care, turned his head to look at Zhang Yun, and said: "Let the children play in Xingyuan at night, those rules in the palace can be waived, tell the people below, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhang Yun knew that Zhu Xu himself could not be restrained, and when he heard this, he said: "Okay." ”

Xiao Ciye didn't feel anything, and Xiao Cixuan couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhu Xu ate slowly, because Bi Ziyan's matter was solved, he let go of most of his worries, and felt a lot more relaxed, and said: "Let them play today, and tomorrow I will take them to the town to have a look. ”

Zhang Yun naturally has nothing to do, and takes care of a few children with his heart.

After eating, Zhu Xu walked slowly and leisurely in the line with his hands behind his back to understand the layout here.

Cao Huachun followed behind him and said, "Your Majesty, Elder Bige has left, and Elder Fu Ge in Beijing has completed this year's imperial examination, and has drawn up a list, which will be submitted soon." After discussion, Fu Ge Lao and others decided to expand the number of candidates on a large scale, preparing to increase the number to 700 to 1,000. ”

Zhu Xu didn't care, and said, "How many people are there in the Department of Political Science?" ”

Cao Huachun glanced up at Zhu Xu and said, "There are less than ten people." ”

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, looked at the green path, and his heart wandered.

The textbooks of the Department of Political Science are biased towards 'science', which is basically an introduction to mathematics, physics and chemistry, and although Confucianism is still the focus, it has been greatly weakened.

The questions of the exam are naturally from the officials of the political department, so it is really extraordinary that those who can be admitted outside the political department.

After walking for a while, Zhu Xu said, "How is the situation of the imperial examination boycotted this year?" ”

Cao Huachun said: "Shi Lin is very angry about the teaching materials of the political department and the subject of the imperial examination, and the filthy words are full of filthy words, and there are many foolish people who follow each other, but they have not decreased. ”

The last few sentences are obviously not spoken words, but they are the words of the Overseer's side of the Overseer.

Zhu Xu nodded, not surprisingly, Confucianism is the last peak at this time, and the stubborn forces are too strong, and they will not be able to twist it for a while.

Thinking of the previous conversation with Bi Ziyan, Zhu Xu said again, "Reply to Fu Ge Lao, leave a gap, and let Bi Ge Lao deal with it after he returns to Beijing." ”

Cao Huachun responded, and then said: "The account books of the Shenlong Mansion for the first half of the year have been counted, and the cumulative profit is 12 million taels of silver, and there are still some goods that have not been counted. In the second half of the year, the ships on the Xiyi side will arrive one after another, and Shenlong Mansion expects that this year's profit may exceed 30 million silver, but the payment may be relatively slow, plus the 20 million expenditure, this year's profit will be much lower than last year's ......"

This Zhu Xu also expected it, and said: "Tell the Shenlong Mansion that the cabinet will approve their opening request by September at the latest, and from Vladivostok to Shunlong in North Annan, twelve ports will be opened in one go, and all of them will be handed over to the Shenlong Mansion to operate......"

Cao Huachun remembered in response, looked up at Zhu Xu, and said: "Chen Niangniang has a message, let me ask, when will you send the Third Highness back to Beijing?" ”

The Third Highness, that is, Zhu Ciyi, has been playing in the Shenlong Mansion for a few months.

Zhu Xu heard Bumu Butai's words, that is, when will she return to the palace?

For the Shenlong Mansion, Zhu Xu can't get rid of it yet, and he must not hand it over to the imperial court, looking around the Ming Dynasty, he really can't find a second suitable candidate.

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "Let's send Yi'er here first." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that the matter of Bumu Butai is postponed and discussed.

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard hurriedly came over, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, there is a woman outside the door, calling her Zhu Zonghan's concubine, asking to see the emperor." ”

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the door with deep eyes.

Cao Bianjiao's face changed even more, and he said directly: "Let Commander Cao, Captain Su come over immediately, and be on guard!" ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to move, a woman will scare you like this, let her in." ”
