Chapter 1445 The situation improves

Chapter 1445

Zhu Cixuan was confused, wearing a prince's uniform, kneeled on the ground, listening to Cao Huachun reading the enthronement edict.

The ministers watched from the side, feeling the pleasure of a big stone falling to the ground.

The government and the public have been worried that Zhu Xu would repeat the old story of Shenzong and stage another "national foundation dispute", which would be terrible.

After all, this person is not the Emperor of Shenzong, and the Wanli Dynasty is not in front of him. If he really makes a fuss, no one can stop him from happening.

After Cao Huachun finished reading the promulgation, he went down to hand over the imperial edict to the little guy, helped him up, walked up to Danbi, and came to Zhu Xu.

After the little guy stood up, Cao Huachun stepped forward a few steps, faced the ministers, and shouted "Crown Prince!"

The civil and military officials below all raised their hands and bowed: "I will meet with His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The little guy seemed to have never seen such a scene before, so he turned around and ran towards Zhang Yun not far away.

Zhu Xu smiled, pulled the little guy over, put him beside him and sat down, and whispered: "Say, everyone is exempt from courtesy."

The little guy looked up at Zhu Xu, and for a moment, turned to look at the hundreds of people who were bowing down below. His little face turned pale, he grabbed Zhu Xu tightly to the corner of his clothes, and said tenderly, "I'll be free from the gifts."

His voice was very small and had a tremolo.

When the King Xin, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others heard it, they immediately shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince."

What I didn't hear later, "His Royal Highness Xie" stood up one after another.

There are also various rituals below, including the important ones: to inform the heaven and earth, sacrifice to the ancestral temples, the main palace, the reception of vassal states, foreign envoys, etc.

The little guy was very plagued. He was led around by his ministers until the evening, and it took him six hours to finish.

In the Qianqing Palace, a banquet for the ministers.

Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun brought the little guys to toast the loyal ministers one by one, asking them to teach the prince well, and not be reserved or something.

Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others naturally said they didn't dare to do so, and their expressions were very relaxed, not as serious as before.

The little guy respectfully cheered up and shouted "Mr.

Those vassal states and foreign envoys looked at this little guy with a bright look.

This is the emperor of the future Ming Dynasty.

How powerful and rich the Ming Dynasty was, no matter from which perspective, having a friendly relationship with the Ming Emperor would be beneficial and harmless.

For many people in the foreign court, Zhu Xu lived in a deep palace and was hard to see, and even more so for those vassal states and foreign envoys.

This time, Zhu Xu walked around among these people, chatting and laughing calmly, and showing friendship.

These envoys were flattered. Some expressed some ideas in person to seek more cooperation, while others hoped to meet alone and have a private chat with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu identified, treated it clearly and vaguely, and a dinner party was bustling late at night.

Several little guys were sleeping stumbled around their mother and mother, and they were already snoring gently.

Even the crown prince Zhu Cixuan is only three years old, so no one blames anything. The protagonist of the Qianqing Palace is still Zhu Xu.

For more than ten years, the imperial court rarely had such a grand occasion, and Zhu Xu was also happy and chatted with these people with a glass of wine.

It was not until late at night that Zhu Xu announced the breakup.

A group of people left the Qianqing Palace in a drunken state, were escorted by the imperial guards, and sent back one by one.

This time, the seemingly calm and unusual crown prince's enthronement was destined to have an unpredictable impact in the Ming Dynasty.

After the crown prince was enthroned, a rare silence appeared in the court and the country. This calmness seemed to fall down the sea of ​​the sea, and the undercurrents disappeared.

In July, the situation in the court suddenly changed, mainly because the tax on summer grains increased, and the commercial tax in the first half of the year also entered the national treasury.

I don’t know if Sun Chuanting’s administration has been refreshed. The estimated summer grain from the cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue and others is only about 7 million stones, but in fact, the amount collected is as high as 10 million stones, which is the highest number in recent years!

Some people in the Ministry of Revenue attributed it to changes in local situations, mainly because corruption has been curbed and layers of exploitation have been reduced.

Some people also believe that it is a sign that the disaster is slowing down. Perhaps it will not take long before this protracted natural disaster will pass.

Some people also believe that it was the "New Deal" that played a role, mainly because the local big players began to pay taxes, and the extra three million stones may have been paid by them.

No matter what it is, it indicates that the Ming Dynasty will develop in a good direction again, which is an extremely inspiring thing.

Sun Chuanting had the supplement of summer grain and commercial tax, and most of the money was allocated to the Royal Trading Group, and the other part was the salary of officials at all levels.

In short, the tax I just collected was just passed by the Ministry of Revenue, and in a flash, the treasury became empty again.

Sun Chuanting refused to reach out to the Royal Bank and made all kinds of moves. He even borrowed money from major commercial banks and chambers of commerce across the country in the name of the cabinet.

Sun Chuanting was in power and business reform was in full swing. The businessman did not want to climb up with him. He took a good position in this reform and got a share of the pie.

In just one month, Sun Chuanting raised another five million taels, nominally supporting commercial reform, but actually focusing on a piece of land.

With the continuous takeover of prefects from various places, Sun Chuanting's control over local areas has been further strengthened, and with the cooperation of the Security Bureau, the Prefectural Governor, the State Administration of Taxation, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Criminal Prison Department, the Dali Temple and other departments, he has worked hard to challenge local stubborn forces.

In August, the sun above the capital was particularly poisonous, as if it was just staring at the Forbidden City, illuminating the huge palace city as if it was about to burn.

Yongfu Palace.

Heart-wrenching shouts came from the room, and a group of midwives and female doctors from the Imperial Hospital were back and forth, with pots of blood coming and going in and out.

Zhu Xu sat in the pavilion, anxious and restless.

Zhu Ciyi stood beside Zhu Xu, clenched his fists, his expression was nervous, and he stared at the door.

Bumubutai is giving birth, it has been an hour since he has not yet come out.

Yongfu Palace was full of anxiety, so busy that he didn't dare to breathe.

It was not until half an hour later that a baby cries sounded, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the midwife came out with the child in her arms and repeatedly said, "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, a princess born by the Imperial Concubine."

Zhu Xu was overjoyed and took it over and saw it. The little guy was so stupid that he couldn't open his eyes. In delight, Zhu Xu said again: "Is the Imperial Concubine okay?"

The midwife said, "It's okay, it's just that I've worked hard and I've already gone to bed."

Zhu Xu nodded, gave the child to Zhu Ciyi next to him, and said, "Take good care of my sister, I'll go see your mother."

Zhu Ciyi took it and looked at her sister in the cradle. Her little face had an inexplicable expression. Then she laughed and stared at her.

After Zhu Xu saw Bumubutai, she felt relieved when she saw that she was really fine.

There has been no newcomer in the harem for two or three years. This time the little princess was born, not only was she happy in the palace, but the outer court also had some strange actions, which seemed to be very pleased with Zhu Xu's offspring.

A few days later, Bumubutai's condition stabilized, and Zhu Xu returned to the Ganqing Palace and continued to work on his political affairs.

Zhu Xu rarely went to the cabinet hall, mainly for Sun Chuanting to establish his prestige.

Zhu Ciye is already eight years old, and the little guy is a little fat. Even though Zhu Xu's Donghunting Pavilion was placed with ice charcoal, he was still sweating profusely while copying it. The white paper was soaked with sweat from time to time.

Zhu Xu was on the soft collapse, holding herbal tea, and quietly looked at the little guy Zhu Ciye.

The little guy has never liked to talk since he was a child, but he is very clear-minded and looks very accurate. It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but he always hits the point.

Do he have any thoughts about the enthronement of the crown prince? Or do he have any thoughts?

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued to look at him.
