Sun Chengzong didn't say it, Zhu Xu could guess it.
Cao Wenzhao is now also considered a storm center in the Ming Dynasty and the opposition, and it is rumored that he will succeed Sun Chengzong as the next Marshal of the Generalissimo's Office.
The marshal of the Generalissimo's Mansion is concurrently the right deputy assistant of the cabinet, Cao Wenzhao has always been far away from the imperial court, and has not appeared in the major events inside and outside the Ming Dynasty over the years, his sudden entry into the absolute core of the imperial court will cause a huge storm in the government and the opposition, and even the Ming Dynasty!
Sun Chengzong wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, and said with a flat expression: "Illegal and undisciplined......
If it should be dealt with, it should be dealt with decisively, without being soft, and the Generalissimo's Mansion will finish the trial and report it to me for approval. ” Sun Chengzong leaned over slightly and said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu raised his eyes to look at Sun Chengzong, the teacup in his hand turned, and said in a slow tone: "Just now, I met Cao Wenzhao.
I told him clearly that I would keep you and not let him succeed you......
I am in a state of great ruin, and the reform is like a rolling stone, and we cannot stop for a moment.
I also hope that Sun Shi can stay in office, Cao Wenzhao can't afford to shoulder such a big responsibility now, looking inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, only Sun Shi can support the current military reform and continue to go on......"
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu and was slightly shocked.
It stands to reason that he abdicates now, and Zhu Xu's first confidant takes over the Generalissimo's Mansion, which is a natural thing, and the reason why he has the idea of resigning is that he sees this situation, and it is better for him to take the initiative to leave than to be driven away.
Similarly, this rumor is so prevalent outside, precisely because they see this 'general trend', and even the senior officials of the six ministries of the government and the opposition are convinced of it, and this rumor has become a rumor and is becoming more and more popular.
Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong's expression, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Do you all think that I am the kind of person who is nepotistic, disregarding the interests of the country, dizzy, and unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
” Sun Chengzong's face was slightly shocked, and he seemed to suddenly remember that the emperor in front of him was the most restrained, the most rational, and the one with the greatest sense of responsibility for the Ming Dynasty!
He couldn't say anything in his heart, stood up suddenly, bowed down and said, "Don't dare!"
” Zhu Xu pressed his hand and said: "There are so many gossips outside, I don't have time to pay attention to them one by one, and until now, I have nothing to say."
The 'military reform' must continue, the Generalissimo's Office must strongly control all the army, can not give anyone a chance to sit big, the past those guard system can no longer be revived, the army must remain pure, solemn, combative, can fight at any time, the rebellion of the year, I have been haunted, just a little bandits, actually stirred up my Ming Dynasty can not live in peace, a few years ago, Liaodong disaster, I Ming actually can not find a formed army, it is really an irony......"
Sun Chengzong is well aware of the situation in the Ming Dynasty in recent decades, and listening to Zhu Xu's words, he was also silent for a while.
The situation of the Ming Dynasty, some of which are slowly shrinking, and some of which are changing rapidly, each rapid change will make the Ming fall into a 'desperate situation', and then it will be difficult to turn over again and again.
Zhu Xu poured Sun Chengzong a cup of tea and said, "If the army wants to maintain its combat effectiveness, it must have a strong enough supervision organization and be independent of the imperial court, and at the same time ensure that the imperial court interferes with the army to the least.
What was the imperial court like before the apocalypse, Sun Shi knew better than me, there were some things, I had no choice, the so-called thousand-autumn annals of later generations, I didn't know how to write it, and I didn't want to care about it, I couldn't take care of it for decades before, how to take care of hundreds of thousands of years?
Master Sun, there are too many things to do in our generation, and there are not many people who can understand me, but I hope that you will be one of them......"
This is already a heart-to-heart, Sun Chengzong leaned over, and said solemnly: "The minister can understand the emperor's heart to save the country, but the minister will fully support the 'New Deal' in one day, so that our country will be reborn and extend the national ......."
Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, Sun Chengzong and others have the heart of the country, which is really rare.
Now that the situation has become clear, although there are still some differences between Zhu Xu and the cabinet on policy, it will no longer hinder the general trend of the 'New Deal', and there will be no more forces to hinder or overthrow it."
The two chatted for more than an hour before Sun Chengzong left the third floor and went down to the first floor to meet with Bi Ziyan and others.
'Military reform' has always been part of the 'New Deal', and the cabinet cannot be bypassed completely.
Two days later, a detailed transcript of the Generalissimo's Office on the 'military reform' appeared on Zhu Xu's desk.
Zhu Xu looked at it in detail, read it carefully, and then picked up the pen and revised the 'plan'.
Cao Huachun came in from outside, waited for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the parliament is drafting an agricultural law covering peasants, agricultural affairs, acres, household registration, etc., and the cabinet is also very supportive, and it is said that there is already a framework. ” Zhu Xu looked down at the book, but his eyebrows were raised.
There was some surprise.
In his mind, this parliament is more of a symbol at the moment, and it has to develop slowly and slowly, but he didn't expect that there is such a consciousness of 'legislation' now.
"Is there anyone behind your back?"
Zhu Xu raised his head and said.
Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "These councilors are all recommended by the locality, and if someone points out, they should also be the governors of the provinces." ” Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let them get this, and then let them summarize the current discipline and discipline of the imperial court, and make a new official law." ” Cao Huachun was stunned and said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu closed the notebook in his hand and said, "Is there anything going on in the palace?"
” Cao Huachun thought for a while and said: "Princess Yongning and the eldest princess smashed Hai Niangniang's favorite vase in Zhilan Palace yesterday, and also scared Hai Niangniang, Princess Yongning was grounded, and the eldest princess was beaten by Li Niangniang. ” Zhu Xu's expression was a little inexplicable, and he immediately sighed: "There was originally a little witch in this palace, but now there are two......"
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's expression and said with a smile, "Hai Niangniang appeared suddenly, so I was a little surprised, but it's no big deal, Hai Niangniang also went to plead." ” If there was something, Zhu Xu would have known it a long time ago, patted his palm on the table, and said, "The little ones are two or three years old, so they should do something serious......
Well, next year, I'll give them all a class schedule, so that they can get regular, and save me a lot of ...... all day."
Cao Huachun bowed and did not speak.
He knew that Zhu Xu attached great importance to the cultivation of these princes and princesses, and now, it has begun.
Cao Huachun waited for a while and said, "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the wedding date of Cao Bianjiao's general soldiers." ” Zhu Xu picked up the tea and said, "Well, I know, I have time to go tomorrow." ” Cao Huachun responded, and said, "I heard that Elder Bige also plans to go in person." ” Since Zhu Xu talked to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong did not resign, and Cao Bianjiao's wedding became more and more low-key, some people seemed to see the signal and no longer forced to go to Cao's house.
At this time, Bi Ziyan went in person, which seemed a little unexpected and eye-catching.
Zhu Xu knew some of Bi Ziyan's thoughts, groaned, and said, "Let Bi Ge Lao go with me tomorrow, and I want to talk to you." ” Cao Huachun, as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, is a clear observer of the government and the opposition, and the old Bi Ge has always had a very strange attitude towards Cao Wenzhao, who is known as Zhu Xu's first confidant, entering the Generalissimo's Mansion and stepping into the cabinet with one foot, or rather, he has already expressed his attitude, that is, he is against it.
But for some well-known reasons, he did not say it openly and openly expressed it.
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's expression, didn't say much, and said: "Governor Cao and Elder Sun Ge have already met the princes of Mongolia, and they have a very good chat, and the princes hope that the mutual market can open more places, and sell them more firearms, armor, and weapons......"
Zhu Xu leaned back in his chair, paused, and said: "The army has changed its guard now, I am worried about how to deal with it, let the Generalissimo's Mansion do it, the price can be high, it can't be discounted, in short, it must be disposed of as soon as possible, it can't rot in our hands......"

Cao Huachun also smiled and said, "Yes, the slave has written it down." ” The six ministries of the cabinet are now busy, with various summaries at the end of the year, various interdepartmental meetings between the six ministries, and more presiding over by the cabinet, and almost all the heads and brains of the imperial court have to be busy until late at night before they can rest for a while.
There are three most important things in the cabinet now, the first is the rule of officials, which is the prerequisite for the 'new deal' pursued by Zhu Xu and the imperial court.
The second thing is taxation, and now that the national treasury is in difficulty, the six ministries of the Cabinet attach great importance to taxation, whether it is commercial tax, agricultural tax or others, they are doing their best to promote reform.
The third thing is about the reform of acres and household registration, which has been promoted with many difficulties, from the imperial court to the localities, to the gentry and the common people, it is almost a long, boundless resistance, and the progress so far is also very little, but it is the most important link in the reform.
The 'New Deal' is huge and complex, basically revolving around these three things, the cabinet, the six ministries as the representative of the imperial court, I don't know how many meetings have been held over and over again, and the various plans, strategies, and guidelines are not known to themselves.
In the evening, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting walked out of the palace side by side, and they were also 'chatting' on the way.
"Although the 'new tax system' has been set, it is still difficult to implement it.
At present, the State Administration of Taxation is mainly engaged in commercial taxation, and even so, it is difficult to implement it.
Not to mention the agricultural taxes, which have long been rotten in the localities, and those who can reach the state treasury at all levels will probably be less and less......"
Sun Chuanting followed Bi Ziyan's side and said thoughtfully.
The collapse of the rule of the Ming Dynasty was first at the grassroots level, and the bottom was simply chaotic, and the imperial court could not intervene at all.
Bi Ziyan was wearing thick cotton clothes, facing the cold wind, frowning, with a worried face, and said: "The emperor's idea is right, all the reforms of the imperial court should start from the 'rule of officials'......"
Sun Chuanting glanced at Bi Ziyan, walked a few steps, and said in a relaxed tone, "Fortunately, there are still some results in this year, and a good foundation has been laid, and there should be great progress next year, everything is easy and difficult, step by step, there should be no big problem......"
Bi Ziyan was not comforted at all, shook his head and said: "We are struggling now, and when it comes to difficulties in the future, I don't know how, the emperor doesn't act much now, but I feel more pressure......"
Sun Chuanting couldn't help but smile and shook his head, a little speechless.
In the past, they were always worried that the Qianqing Palace's actions would be too big and that they would not be able to deal with the consequences, but now the Qianqing Palace is not moving much, and they hope that the Qianqing Palace will move again.
After walking for a while, Bi Ziyan suddenly changed the topic and said: "Tomorrow, Cao Bianjiao will get married, and the emperor will also go, what do you think?"
” Sun Chuanting could see through Bi Ziyan's thoughts a little, and said in a calm tone: "It is not surprising that the two generations of the Cao family have stood by the emperor's side, and they have today's grace. ” Bi Ziyan glanced at him and said: "Needless to say, although the emperor did not let Cao Wenzhao enter the marshal's mansion for the time being, he will enter sooner or later, not to mention Cao Bianjiao, if Cao Dingjiao re-enters the cabinet in the future, have you thought about the consequences?"
” The Cao family is the largest in both the military and political worlds, and the picture is unimaginable!
Sun Chuanting shook his head secretly, this Bi Ge Lao is old and shrewd in government affairs, but there are still some things that he still can't understand.
"My lord, there are some things that you shouldn't think about, don't think about it too much, we just need to stop at the point, and the palace will naturally be like a mirror."
Sun Chuanting said something meaningful.
Bi Ziyan frowned, and sighed lightly in his heart.
Aren't some things said clearly in a few words, and there are fewer monarchs in the early stage of history who are holy and mediocre in the later period?
He is in his sixties this year, and he can't go far, I just hope that something can be done right now to stifle this possibility!
These can't be declared, seeing Sun Chuanting say this, Bi Ziyan didn't say much, and changed the topic: "Cao Bianjiao's wedding, I will take a trip, you don't go." ” Sun Chuanting knew what he said, Bi Ziyan didn't listen to it, and he didn't have a way, so he had to say: "The emperor has never liked lively scenes, so it is estimated that he will stay for a while, and after the adults go, they will have to be measured." ” Bi Ziyan knew what Sun Chuanting was worried about, and nodded: "Hmm."
You have to keep an eye on the affairs of the cabinet, the requirements of the six ministries must be compressed as much as possible, the parliament must be decisively refuted, the authority of the cabinet cannot be shaken, and Fu Changzong's appointment will come down before the year, so please invite him to the cabinet first. ” Sun Chuanting understood and said, "Okay."
This year, the governors of various places will not enter Beijing, and the big discussion will still be more solemn, and I am already communicating with the parliament to ensure that there are no moths. ” Bi Ziyan nodded, and now the 'year-end discussion' is also a kind of customization.
The two of them left the palace as they spoke, stood where they were, and talked for a while, and then they each got into the carriage and returned to the mansion.
Cao Fu is making the final preparations, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenyao, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Dingjiao and others have been busy at the busiest moment, and now they are confirming again.
It wasn't until dawn that Cao Wenzhao and the others breathed a sigh of relief and gathered in the side hall, Cao Wenyao looked at Cao Bianjiao with emotion, and instructed, "Although Su Yinyin has an average background, she is very liked by the Queen Mother, you have to treat it well, the emperor has always respected the Queen Mother, if it is not handled well, it will affect the future of our Cao family......"
Cao Bianjiao was still so taciturn, just nodded calmly.
Cao Wenzhao kept smiling, as if a major event had been removed in his heart, and his heart was extremely relaxed.
