Chapter 388: The Terrible Friends of the Friends


Concubine Liu looked at the two of them, smiled and nodded, and turned her eyes to Princess Xin, seeing that she had a big belly and poop, and she was about to give birth, she said with a smile: "Very good, all very good, Princess Xin, I will live in the palace in the future, and I will go back after the confinement, if King Xin wants to come to Renshou Palace, he can come at any time......"

How can the harem be allowed to enter and exit casually, Princess Xin looked at Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen was stunned and looked at Zhu Xu again.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "What the concubine says is what it is." ” Zhu Youzhen thought about it, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Emperor." ” Concubine Liu smiled, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, how did you reward the ministers this year?"

Don't be as stingy as last year, let's be royal, be atmospheric!

” Zhu Xu coughed and said, "The concubine has wronged me, I am famous for my generosity." ” After speaking, he turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said: "You go to pass the decree and order the imperial dining room to cook, the members of the Wenzhao Pavilion will all give a mixed jade plate, Sun Ge Lao, give a palace duck, give the household department a wheat broad bean dried porridge and pearl jade white jade soup, give the Ministry of Rites a champion sugar, and the Ministry of Industry give a dragon beard noodle......

Send the celebrant and the inner supervisor to deliver it in person, the standard should be high, and it should fully show my sincerity and gratitude......"

After everyone heard Zhu Xu finish speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang's brows furrowed and wrinkled, and she still said to Concubine Liu: "Concubine, you just say this extra sentence." ” Concubine Liu was also confused by Zhu Xu's move, and immediately pointed at Zhu Xu, and said with an angry smile: "You, you are ......

Forget it, it's time to save money for the imperial court. ” King Ping and the others also smiled and laughed, and the emperor personally gave the dish on Chinese New Year's Eve, which could not be more valuable than real money and silver.

Zhu Youzhen also felt that Zhu Xu's trick was very good, and it was effective and saving.

As soon as the New Year passed, congratulatory watches from all parts of the Ming Dynasty and various states were also presented to Beijing.

Chao/Xian, Liu/Qiu, An/Nan's Mo, as well as several tribes of Mongolia/Gu, and most importantly, Huang Taiji of Liaodong actually made a congratulatory table, calling himself a 'minister', and brought a heavy gift of 20,000 taels of silver and 500 good horses.

In the imperial study, there is still a remnant of the New Year's festivities.

Zhu Xu sat behind the desk, flipping through the congratulatory watches everywhere, especially Huang Taiji's, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Cao Huachun stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, according to my Ming etiquette, I want to be rewarded." ” The so-called 'reward' is more direct is the return gift, which is often several times heavier.

Zhu Xu understood, pondered for a while, and said: "Chao/Xian, Liu/Qiu will be returned according to the gift, and the value is comparable. ” Cao Huachun was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, will this move damage my majesty?"

” If it weren't for this majesty, Zhu Xu wanted to halve it, waved his hand and said, "Majesty doesn't depend on gifts, you can tell the Ministry of Rites." ” Cao Huachun knew that this move would definitely cause opposition from the Ministry of Rites, so he could only pass the message: "Yes." ” Zhu Xu continued to flip through the playbook, and not long after, Liu Shimin walked in, held a plate, presented a stack of playbooks, and said: "Your Majesty, the top one is played by King Liu/Qiu Shangfeng, about that coordinated defense." ” Zhu Xu was stunned, and immediately hurriedly took it, and after reading the ten lines at a glance, Zhu Xu nodded secretly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Liu/Qiu was really very interested, especially seeing that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty still had artillery, and the Ming Dynasty had no intention of annexing Liu/Qiu, King Shangfeng was even more interested than the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu thought about it seriously and said: "Liu Shimin, you give this trick to the Ministry of War, let them discuss it, come up with a plan, and then let Shen Yongmao personally go to Ryukyu, bring Yuan Keli and Xiong Wencan, negotiate with King Shangfeng, and conduct another maritime exercise, let Ryukyu/Qiu see the strength of my Ming Dynasty's military appearance!"

” "Yes!"

Liu Shimin said.

As soon as Liu Shimin finished speaking, he said: "The following two are the scripts of the King of Chao/Xian and General Jin Zhongshan, who are also interested in coordinated defense, and want to ask me to help train the army and defend the Japanese state." ” If you want to say which country trusts the Ming Dynasty the most, there is only Chao Xian, the original three major campaigns showed the determination of the Ming Dynasty to defend the Ming Dynasty, and the subsequent withdrawal also showed that the Ming Dynasty had no intention of annexing the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, North Korea is still very wary of the Japanese and fears that they will invade again.

Compared to Ryu/Qiu's fear of pirates, the sense of crisis is heavier.

Zhu Xu hurriedly took it, and in addition to the routine nonsense, King Chao/Xian's recital showed his urgent expectation for coordinated defense.

Jin Zhongshan's recital is simple and clear, recalling the friendship with His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and then deeply grateful for the help of the Ming Dynasty, and then saying that General Qin Yiming was polite and courteous in Pyongyang, and his meritorious service in protecting Pyong/Yang.

Finally, it was mentioned that the coordinated defense proposed by the Ming Dynasty, the DPRK/Xian was extremely needed, and hoped that the Ming would help, and they could provide more than the Ryu/Qiu.

Zhu Xu squinted, staring at the three notebooks on the table, his eyes flashed, and the expression on his face was inexplicable.

With these three scripts, the Ming Dynasty can mobilize, and even control the armies of these two countries, adding a great boost, especially the expansion of the sea frontier, so that the scope of activities of the North and South Naval Divisions will be expanded, which is of great significance to the future ocean-going naval divisions!

Zhu Xu pondered for a long time, looked up at Liu Shimin and said, "The same, let the troops be deployed, Shen Yongmao will go to Liu/Qiu, Sun Chengzong will go to Chao/Xian, and the signing of the treaty must be completed as soon as possible, and at least 30,000 sailors will be recruited from Liu/Qiu, and at least 30,000 soldiers will be recruited from North Korea, and tell them that my Ming Dynasty is suffering from a disaster, let them have a little more, and they will be compensated in the future." ” Liu Shimin bowed down and said, "Yes, the slave will go to the military department to pass the decree." ” Zhu Xugang nodded, and added: "In this way, I will allocate 500,000 taels of silver to Chao/Xian, Liu/Qiu, and cash!"

Give them some confidence, and also, you can also let them send officers to study in my Ming Royal Academy. ” Liu Shimin glanced at Zhu Xu until he didn't continue, and then said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu continued to look at the recital, there was no disaster in the winter, most of them were mutual impeachment, attack, and then talk about some big truths, all of them were empty, seemingly reasonable, but unrealistic, either they could not be used, or there would be no results.

The recital of the reduction of the Yamen of the Wenzhao Pavilion also reached the celebrant supervisor, and most of them were to reduce the departments of the capital, and very few of them involved in the local area.

Zhu Xu shook his head when he saw it, but he still did it, when it comes to the reduction of the yamen, the official position has basically been hollowed out, and the reduction is to save a little money.

There is no party strife, no killing, and there is not much movement, and this year's capital is a rare calm.

Under the stability, it is the so-called Yuncui Yuan in western Beijing******* Yushi Mao Yujian, and Liu Mao, a member of the criminal department, who is drunk and drunk, with an unclothed girl in his arms, foul language, and obscene movements, which are not at all like the Qingliu Imperial History that is high up on weekdays.

Mao Yujian drank a glass of wine in the girl's fair-skinned hand, shook his head and said: "Pipa wine luminous cup, this capital is a good ......"

Liu Mao knew that this distant relative had a hard life as a magistrate before, especially when there was a fierce wife at home, he hugged the little girl for a while, and the thief smiled: "The emperor is far away here, don't care about the fierce woman in your family, how free and easy it is here, in a few days, I will find a matchmaker and give you a concubine, so that you can stay overnight in an empty bed......"

Mao Yujian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Brother Liu, then I thank you very much, you must be petite......

Ahaha......"

Liu Mao also had an expression that I understood, and said, "It's easy to say, let's be happy tonight......"

Mao Yujian also laughed, and his hands flew.

In the winter night, the Qinglou is as warm as spring, and the ****** is endless.

The reduction of the imperial court still caused a storm after all.

In addition to the merger and reduction of many institutions in the nine temples, the most important thing is that the science and road, the thirteen imperial history, and the six departments have been cut or merged into the Governor's Yuan, and their powers have been deprived or weakened.

A cadre of imperial history Qingliu made a fuss about Wenzhao Pavilion to give an explanation, and many people even wrote to impeach King Xin, demanding that he be removed and re-established the cabinet.

However, Donglin and Qingliu's high-level officials have already agreed on the matter of reducing the organization, and they strongly support King Xin, and in the end, these people actually entrusted the relationship to Fu Changzong, and Fu Changzong couldn't refuse.

Because this matter involves the emperor, Zhu Xu himself!

The 'Jiangxi' Dao Yushi and Zhu Xu's biological mother, an internal supervisor next to Empress Xiaoren is a fellow villager, although this internal supervisor was severely expelled from the palace because of his involvement in the original 'Red Pill Case', but it is not useless, this internal eunuch knew the old lady doctor who used the medicine of the tiger and wolf to revive Zhu Xu.

This old lady doctor has long been out of the palace and has been recuperating for a long time, but he has a situation that does not allow him to shirk, so he found Fu Changzong hard.

At this moment, Fu Changzong faced Zhu Xu with a wry smile.

Zhu Xu also had a strange face, and the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched.
