Recent events, Zhu Xu can only be described by the word 'complicated', whether it is in the palace or outside the palace.
Xiao Shuxian, who is already two years old, Xiao Ciye can already run on the ground, Xiao Ciye is okay, Xiao Shuxian can't be idle, as long as she is not careful, she doesn't know where she will be in the next moment.
In the evening, Zhu Xu walked into the Fengzao Palace, and the little girl was stretching out her two little hands, chasing a snow-white rabbit with her mouth babbling.
When Zhu Xu came in, the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, she trotted over, and said, "Father......
Horse riding ......"
The little girl ran fast, and the palace maids on both sides were startled, and hurriedly saluted and went to protect Xiao Shuxian, for fear that she would fall.
Zhu Xu took a step forward, picked up the little girl, and put it on her shoulder in a circle, "Good daughter, ......do you miss your father?"
The little girl immediately giggled, grabbed Zhu Xu's face with her two little hands, and her calves dangled around, very happy.
At this time, Li Xie Yu hurriedly came out of it with a group of palace maids, and just as he was about to salute, Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Excuse me, let's all go in." ” Li Xie Yu followed Zhu Xu's side and said softly: "Your Majesty, you must be very tired today, give Shuxian to the concubine." ” Zhu Xu picked up the little girl from her shoulders, and spun around in the air a few more times, before she put it down and said, "Well, I'm going to have something to eat, I'm hungry." ” The little girl grabbed Zhu Xu's clothes and didn't let go, and the palace maid persuaded her for a while before persuading her to leave.
Li Jieyu asked people to prepare to eat, so he walked over and said softly: "Your Majesty, Shuxian is a little willful, she can't be so used to it." ” Li Jieyu didn't say it thoroughly, after all, there was already a princess Yongning who was a demon king in the palace, and if Shuxian was like this, the harem would have to be turned upside down.
Zhu Xu laughed, didn't answer, and changed the topic: "How is the old lady over there?"
” Li Jieyu took Zhu Xu's coat and said softly: "The concubine was awake for a while, ate some porridge, and fell asleep again."
The Queen Mother, the mother is all over there. ” Zhu Xu walked to the pavilion, sat down, poured a cup of tea, and said, "Well, let's watch more."
By the way, what about Ye'er?
” Li Jieyu stood still behind Zhu Xu, pinched his shoulder, and said, "Ye'er was taken to the Hanlin Academy by Sun Ge Lao, and she will come back later." ” In the harem, the cabinet is looking for a teacher for Xiao Ciye, and Sun Chuanting has personally gone into battle, obviously having some interest in the eldest son of the emperor.
Zhu Xu said 'um', leaned back in the chair, patted her hand, and said, "I've had a lot of worries recently, and you should take care of the things in the harem more." ” Li Xie smiled prettyly, and the strength in his hand was a little more, and said, "Well, the concubine understands." ” Zhu Xu took the teacup again, was silent for a while, and said, "I heard that a lot of women have come to you recently?"
” Li Xie paused, pursed his lips, looked at Zhu Xu's side face with some uneasiness, and said in a low voice: "Yes, they are all noblewomen in the capital, and the concubines are not easy to refuse. ” Xiao Ciye is the eldest son of the emperor, this identity is very sensitive, and it is normal for some people to want to bet in advance.
Zhu Xu stopped and said, "Well, you just have to be measured."
Next year, I plan to let a few little guys from outside the palace enter the palace to accompany Ye'er to study, and if there is a good one on the Li family's side, I can also send one in. ” Li Xie Yu blinked, and hurriedly said happily: "Yes, the concubine Xie Emperor for his grace." ” The Li family came back from Liaodong's 'annexation', and the government and the opposition looked down on it, and the Li family also knew that it had been very low-key over the years, and no one had come forward, nor had there been a trace of movement.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and didn't say anything more.
In the evening, he played with the two little ones for a while and spent the night in Fengzao Palace.
Early the next morning, Zhu Xu was woken up by Cao Huachun, he was still getting dressed outside, and on the way back to the Qianqing Palace, he said: "Cao Bianjiao arrived in Beijing so soon?"
” Cao Huachun said, "Yes, I came to Beijing at night, and I didn't dare to disturb the emperor, so I came to ask for an audience early this morning." ” Zhu Xu got dressed and said as he walked, "Where is the Combined Fleet?"
” Cao Huachun said, "According to Cao Zongbing, he has passed through Namzhili and can reach Jeju Port in about half a month. ” "How many boats?"
Zhu Xu asked.
Cao Huachun said, "Thirty ships, all of them are medium ships, with two hundred cannons. ” Zhu Xu nodded, and quickly turned to the Dongnuan Pavilion, Cao Bianjiao was dressed in armor, knelt down on one knee and said: "Minister Cao Bianjiao see the emperor, long live my emperor!"
” Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy, come here, give a seat, by the way, get some side dishes and porridge." ” Cao Bianjiao has been following Zhu Xu for a long time, as the commander of the guard, he has always been Zhu Xu's personal guard, but it is the first time that he has been entertained like this as a 'foreign minister'.
But he didn't have stage fright, and sat down opposite Zhu Xu at the small table in the warm pavilion.
Zhu Xu's breakfast imperial dining room has long been customary, and it will be sent over soon, Zhu Xu took the steamed buns, ate the cold dishes of the flower melon, and said: "In the morning, let's eat some vegetarian food, and in the evening, have a good drink, you can also eat, no restraint, no outsiders, by the way, tell me about your plan." ” Cao Bianjiao was one of Zhu Xu's recent people, his face did not move, he became more and more rigorous, and leaned over and said, "Yes."
The affairs of the south have been handed over to Wang Wensheng and Wang Zongbing, and the minister will lead thirty Chinese ships to the north, and they will be stationed at the Jeju base, which is very close to the Wa Kingdom.
The minister plans to take the Tsushima domain step by step, first capture the Tsushima Domain, and see the reaction of the Wa Kingdom, and then arrange mines in the Kanmen Strait to cut off the support of the Wa State to the island of Jiukoku, if the Wa State still continues to support, the minister intends to personally lead the fleet and lie between the Kanmen Strait!
” Zhu Xu listened to Cao Bianjiao's words, the movements in his hands slowed down, and his eyes narrowed.
Cao Bianjiao's plan was actually very simple, that is, to cut off the support of the Japanese State to Jiuguo Island and exert the greatest pressure on the Japanese State, but the Ming Dynasty had no intention of getting involved too deeply, and would not immediately capture the Japanese State, but it was just a deterrent 'military exercise' with the goal of eliminating the threat.
The Guanmen Strait is actually very narrow, it is said that the narrowest place is only a thousand meters, if the Ming fleet lies in the middle, with the range of artillery, let alone the sea, it is difficult to get close to the shore.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and thought about it: "Thirty ships are still a little less, so let's do it, I am in the Ryukyus, and the navy of North Korea is also at your disposal, you pay attention to grasp the scale, when the time comes, I may send you to Edo of the Japanese Kingdom, you must be prepared, by the way, you must be careful, the Japanese people are cunning, pay attention to your own safety, and be careful in everything......"
Cao Bianjiao is a person who doesn't need Zhu Xu to say anything, and he stops when he clicks.
Cao Bianjiao responded and said, "Yes, the minister understands."
Immediately, some wanted to say something.
Zhu Xu tore the steamed buns, put them in his mouth, ate some cold dishes, looked up at Cao Bianjiao's expression, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, there is no need to shy away from it." ” Cao Bianjiao looked up at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, Jiuguo Island, with the military strength of my Ming Dynasty, it can be easily taken, and the Wa Kingdom does not have a navy and is unable to do anything, why not encroach step by step and take Jiuguo Island first?"
” Zhu Xu laughed, picked up the porridge, took a sip, and said, "This, you are not the only one who asks this, for example, if there is an enemy who occupies Shaanxi now.
West, do you think I or the entire Ming Dynasty are stable?
Compared with the Wa State, Jiuguo Island is Shaanxi.
West. ” Cao Bianjiao was stunned, and if he realized, he said, "Yes, the minister understands." ” Zhu Xu handed him a steamed bun and said, "Since you're back, don't be in a hurry to leave, stay at home for a few more days, the imperial sister-in-law has said many times, you and Miss Su are not young, get married early, Lao Cao wrote last time, and asked me to urge you to ......"
Cao Bianjiao's face was somewhat unnatural, of course, he dared to ask the emperor to help urge marriage today, and his uncle was also the only one.
