Zhu Xu gave himself a few days off, read very few scripts, summoned the fewest people, and listened to quite few things.
From the Yuzao Palace back to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, on the soft collapse, Zhu Xu was lying down, holding a book in his hand, and in front of him were two little guys, lying on the warm soft collapse, wrapped like a big zongzi, waving his hands and feet, whining and screaming from time to time, and his big black eyes kept turning around.
Zhu Xu's fingers hugged the two little ones from time to time, and then turned the book and watched quietly.
Maybe it's because I've been busy, and it's rare to be able to take a book seriously.
From the morning to the lunch time, after taking care of the two little ones and eating, Zhu Xu lay on the soft floor again, supported one arm, and quietly turned the pages.
The two little guys may be full of food and drink, making a lot of noise, they seem to be going to turn over, and from time to time they are shouting, the palace maids who are guarded by the Yuzao Palace are in and out, and they don't dare to be careless at all, and the two little guys are quiet for half an hour, huddled together, and the little hands come and go.
Xiao Shuxian squinted and gradually fell asleep, but Zhu Ciye kept her eyes open, looked at Zhu Xu in a daze, and didn't move, just looked at it like that, her little face was pink and tender, and she couldn't see any expression.
Zhu Xu looked at him and smiled, and brought him something to eat from time to time.
The little guy also eats, and when he finishes eating, he looks at him without saying a word, and there is no meaning in his eyes.
Zhu Xu estimated that he was bored, teased him occasionally, and then read quietly.
Maybe it's the New Year's Festival, there are very few things outside to disturb him, so he rarely has a holiday.
It was quiet in the warm pavilion, except for the occasional sound of Zhu Xu flipping through the book.
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang......"
In the evening, there was a call outside the door, and then a figure rushed in, followed by Li Xiangjun and two palace maids, who stood outside the threshold stiffly Zhu Xu didn't hear it, and continued to read quietly.
Xiao Yongning came to the soft collapse, looked at the father, son, and daughter above, first bowed, blinked, and then quickly took off his shoes, climbed up, sat behind the feet of the two little guys, and said with a little excitement: "Uncle Huang, do you know?"
Xiangjun just saw her mother come back, and there were lanterns outside, all kinds of beautiful things, all kinds of delicious food, and all kinds of fun ......"
The little girl opened her eyes wide, and suddenly ran inside again, sat behind Zhu Xu's shoulder, and pinched Zhu Xu's shoulder.
Zhu Xu glanced at the thick and sturdy little padded jacket she was wearing, and didn't know what the hell she was thinking, so she didn't move: "At this time, there is chaos outside, and I am honestly staying in the palace." ” The little girl pinched it even harder, and said crisply: "Uncle Huang, the Queen Mother has allowed people to go out, and it's not fun for people to be alone......"
Zhu Xu pulled her arm, threw it aside, and said lightly, "I want to read a book today, if you make trouble again, you can live in the small dark house outside for three days." ” The little girl suddenly pouted, rolled her eyes and crawled back, and whispered: "People don't want to go back, people want to sleep here for a while." ” Zhu Xu didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he let her lie down inside and read by herself.
The little girl tossed and turned for a while, then suddenly sat up, hummed twice, jumped off the soft collapse, put on her shoes and ran away.
Zhu Xu ignored it, glanced at the two little guys in front of him, saw that Zhu Ciye was still with big eyes, looked at it, smiled and stretched out his hand to tease for a while, and continued to read.
It wasn't until dark that Li Jieyu came to pick up the children, looked at the two children who took good care of them, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, they don't want to leave." ” Zhu Xu got up and said, "Let's go, go to your place to eat." ” A family of four, turned to the Yuzao Palace.
For two days in a row, Zhu Xu lived this comfortable, leisure, and relaxed life.
Read books, tease children, occasionally go to Hai Lanzhu to sit, and then go to Cining Palace for dinner, or chat with the old lady, time flies.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was sunny and snowy.
Zhu Xu and Cao Wenzhao were soaking in the pool, steaming hot and the water was hot.
The two of them were leaning in the trough, their faces covered with white towels, and most of their bodies were immersed in water.
I don't know how long it took, Zhu Xu let out a long breath, turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao, and said, "How is it?"
” Cao Wenzhao took off the towel on his face, gasped, and said with a smile: "It's all comfortable, when the minister arrives at the barracks, he must get one too, the brothers will definitely like it." ” Zhu Xu rubbed the towel, wiped the sweat on his face, and said, "How are things doing?"
” Cao Wenzhao also wiped his face and said, "The location, official position, power and responsibility of the ministers are basically clearly distinguished, the money and grain are still with the cabinet, and the household department wants it, it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of March, and then the ministers can rest assured that they can train boldly." ” Zhu Xu was a little dizzy, nodded when he heard this, and said: "That's great, practice first, I will give you the opportunity to fight, you must be able to win, I want to build an invincible army of my Ming Dynasty, an invincible army, need money and food support, and also need the cultivation of honor, foundation, victory on the battlefield is the best, the only way ......"
Cao Wenzhao was not only the first time to hear Zhu Xu talk about his concern for this army, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister still has some experience in training the army." ” Zhu Xu laughed, wiped the towel around his neck, and his mind turned.
Cao Wenzhao's resume is basically no problem, he joined the army in Liaodong when he was a teenager, followed him for more than four years, and then went out of Zhangshan.
Five years of the West General Army, and one year of the South Zhili General Army, it can be said that half of his life has been spent in the military, and his ability is trustworthy.
This topic is considered to be in the past, Zhu Xu slapped the water, and said, "The military department is combing through all the armies of my Ming Dynasty, basically sorting out clearly, and now there is still a Shenji battalion, what do you say to deal with?"
” In the past, the Shenji Battalion has always been a firearms army, and its numbers are small, but it has played a very large role in the decades-long war with Burma, especially the three major Korean campaigns, and has been highly valued.
However, after Zhu Xu ascended the throne, the Ordnance Bureau developed firearms, and the power of firearms in all aspects has been greatly improved, but firearms, especially artillery, have always been in short supply, and the Shenji Battalion has never had the opportunity to perform.
Cao Wenzhao knew that the matter was serious, but he couldn't estimate Zhu Xu's thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it cannot be abolished, I need a firearms army, and it is elite, the minister thinks that the role of such an army in the battlefield will be very important!"
” Zhu Xu laughed and said, "You still know me, and I think so too."
Now, my Ming Dynasty has entered a period of strategic silence, and the demand for firearms and so on has been greatly reduced, and after the big military exercise, these artillery, muskets, etc. will definitely sell well, and I will have enough silver to cultivate your special fast reaction army, and then build a powerful, elite, and fully armed Shenji battalion, with these two armies, my Ming is enough to run rampant in this world......"
Although Cao Wenzhao has followed Zhu Xu for many years, he is used to some words that come out of his mouth that he can't understand, and now it takes a while to roughly understand the meaning of a few words, and echoes: "Yes, the minister must live up to the emperor's expectations." ” "Then who do you think is more appropriate for the Shenji Battalion to hand it over?"
Zhu Xu asked.
Cao Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, hasn't the Shenji Battalion always been commanded by the Forbidden Army?"
” In the past, there were three major battalions in the capital, but now only the Shenji battalion remains, and when Cao Bianjiao was in the capital, he was always in charge of the command.
Now the commander of the forbidden army is Wang Wensheng, Zhu Xu's distant cousin, and the old man who follows Zhu Xu, loyal and strategic.
But Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "Do you remember that Li Dingguo?"

” This person Cao Wenzhao really didn't have any impression, thought for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, this person is in the Royal Military Academy?"
” Zhu Xu's expression was calm, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Well, it's a little younger, let's put it there first, exercise, increase some actual combat experience, and theory is also indispensable, over there in the Royal Military Academy, I will let people prepare courses and teach you regularly, at all levels, by the way, soldiers must carry out literacy ......"
Cao Wenzhao responded without hesitation, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the minister will do everything!"
” Cao Wenzhao's army is a benchmark that Zhu Xu strives to build, which is of great significance to the future development of the Ming army, and he has never dared to be careless.
