Not long after Zhu Youjian returned to his residence, Cao Huachun received the news.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Xu was watching the memorials gathered from all over Liaodong while listening to Cao Huachun's narrative.

Cao Huachun said clearly, "In the battle of Dongjiang, the first person to get the news was Youtun, and then the flying pigeons kept sending letters to the capital, which was for Yuan Chonghuan, and then Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to King Xin."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Our Lord Yuan is concerned about Liaodong, which makes me very pleased."

Cao Huachun couldn't see anything from Zhu Xu's face, but which border general dared to collude with powerful ministers in all dynasties? What's more, this "powerful minister" is Zhu Xu, the fifth brother, and is also the youngest brother of Emperor Tianqi!

It would not be an exaggeration to replace any emperor with a bad intention to punish the nine clans.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was not talking, Cao Huachun said cautiously: "King Xin left the palace and returned to the mansion, Yuan Chonghuan was in the mansion of Xin."

Zhu Xu paused his hand, turned to look at Cao Huachun, and said, "Yuan Chonghuan?"

Cao Huachun bowed slightly, lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu turned his head and looked outside, stunned for a while, and then shook his head and laughed helplessly, "Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan, what should I do if you want me to do with you?"

Cao Huachun was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty Yuan, it is not suitable to stay in Liaodong."

Zhu Xu was speechless when he heard this. In his heart, Yuan Chonghuan has always been a rare general. As long as he quit his "bold and arbitrary" mind, he would be the first to defend Liaodong. When he purified his internal affairs and pacified Liaodong, he would definitely be the first to achieve success!

But this adult was different from others everywhere, incompatible with his steps, not obeying orders or advice, as if no one could subdue him.

Now that Yuan Chonghuan and King Xin are together, no matter how far they reach, Zhu Xu from Liaodong is worried and handed over to him.

Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, thinking in his heart, and slowly said, "Cao Wenzhao went north, and there would be no one in charge of the Yingyang army in Shanxi... He could not alarm the snake, and he had to play a show for Jiannu. Cao Huachun, you inform Sun Chuanting that before my ascension ceremony, find time to imprison Yuan Chonghuan for punishment. When Sun Chengzong arrives at Shanhaiguan, he will be clear to transfer Xiong Tingbi back to discuss crimes. Xiong Tingbi does not have to come back, so he will show it to the Later Jin..."

Zhu Xu's thoughts were very clear and his words were very messy. Cao Huachun quietly recorded that he would come to remind Zhu Xu at the time.

After a while, Cao Huachun said, "Emperor, do you want to hit the side of King Xin again?"

Zhu Xu said, "Last time, did the King of Shu scold me behind my back? When they were summoned, let King Xin come too."

Cao Huachun immediately realized that the emperor was going to teach a lesson together.

After dealing with Yuan Chonghuan's affairs, Zhu Xu continued to watch the memorial.

As I flipped over, I frowned. This was a secret memo from the Jinyiwei.

The battle of the Dongjiang Army gave the Later Jin Dynasty a great stimulation. Huang Taiji collected craftsmen everywhere and wanted to cast cannons. He radiated from Shen/Yang. There were mobilizations of soldiers everywhere, almost raising troops with all his strength.

"This is the sequelae."

Zhu Xu muttered, Huang Taiji was angry. Such a big move was obviously not for Dongjiang Town, but for crossing the Linghe River and attacking the Ningjin line.

Although the momentum of the troops mobilized by Huang Taiji is far beyond history, Liaodong is also different. After Zhu Xu's efforts to build for more than half a year, both morale, silver sound, food, or generals have achieved unprecedented unity and height!

Zhu Xu devoted most of his strength to the troops, city defense, artillery!

However, I was still nervous and said, "I will send another order to allocate one million taels of silver and three hundred thousand stones of food to Liaodong!"

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's slightly tight side face and wanted to comfort him. Liaodong would definitely be able to defend it, and there was no need to be so worried and unable to let go. After hesitating for a while, hesitating, "Abide by the order!"

Three days later, the Ganqing Palace and the new emperor feasted the royal family kings.

It is now the first year of Chongzhen. According to the list of the clan mansion, there are 25 princes, 136 princes, and other countries, and they cannot be counted!

Take the prince as an example. The annual salary is 10,000 stones. The more people the population, the more salary it will be. For hundreds of thousands of royal families in the Ming Dynasty, it was a scary expense every year.

Zhu Xu walked out of the side door and walked to the dragon throne.

Nearly two hundred people, led by King Ping and King Xin, bowed and bowed to him. "I, please pay homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Xu looked up and saw that there were all huge heads, and he didn't know anything except a few.

Zhu Xu sat down and said lightly, "Let's flat."

A group of princes thanked him, and they stood in two rows on both sides, bowing slightly, and seemed respectful.

King Ping stood on the right, raised his hand with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know you, I will introduce you to you."

"This is the King of Shu, this is the King of Dai, this is the King of Su, this is the King of Tang, this is the King of Gui..."

Zhu Xu listened and looked at him, and stopped for a while when he was King Gui, and thought to himself: "I did not come from Emperor Hongguang, but Yongli's father has come."

After King Ping finished introducing it, Zhu Xu also spoke politely for a while before the banquet started.

The entertaining royal family is different from the ministers. Some of these people, Zhu Xu, cannot distinguish between generations, and some are even higher than Wanli, and cannot afford to offend, so they have to deal with it carefully.

There are no exceptions of people flattering, and naturally some people are watching coldly. More often than not, they adopt the doctrine of meanness, neither enthusiastic nor cold, and are spending time.

Zhu Xu responded quietly, shuttled through the banquet, drank a circle before returning to the steps, looking at a group of people, his face turned red, as if he was drunk, and said, "Dear clans, they are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty. They have made great contributions to suppressing all directions and protecting the capital. Not long ago, Brother Xin told me that the royal family had too much salary and occupied too much land. Not only did they ask me to reduce their salary, but they also had to investigate the land of each royal palace..."

As soon as Zhu Xu's voice came out, the whole palace was shocked.

Hundreds of princes were surprised and looked at Zhu Xu with an uneasy expression, feeling cold in their hearts.

King Lu and King Jin were all old gods, as if they had heard nothing.

Both of them had cleared their property, and they had a commander but didn't want to lose their heads anymore.

King Ping was also shocked. Although he did not have a vassal, there were 3,000 acres of food households. He looked at Zhu Xu and turned to look at King Xin.

Zhu Youjian couldn't say anything about his suffering. He could not expose Zhu Xu in person, nor did he know how to respond, so he could only remain silent.

His silence made the princes even more frightened. They had salary and land, but because of the many children and grandchildren, the expenses were very high everywhere. The court did this, which undoubtedly cost them their lives!

Zhu Naijun, the king of Dai, was the first to stand up and shouted, "Master, I object! Nowadays, there are droughts everywhere, and there is no harvest. Our royal family is also reducing production. Moreover, the salary was nearly half of the amount last year. Now we need to check our land. Isn't this comparing us to the dead end?"

King Zhu Zhishu of Shu also stood up immediately, opposing in a deep voice, and speaking fiercely.

The King of Chu, King of Qin and others also stood up one after another. Not long after, almost all the princes in the hall opposed it!

Zhu Xu looked at King Xin with a smile.
