Seeing that Zhu Youjian was not concerned at all, Zhu Xu said, "Brother, this matter is related to the national affairs of my Ming Dynasty in the next few years. You must be careful and not careless!"

Zhu Youjian felt that this matter was just a form, and the emperor had the final say in the end. He raised his hand unchangedly and said, "I understand."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unmoved and he was secretly disappointed. Zhu Youjian always paid great attention to some things he thought were important and just passed on other things.

'If King Xin really cannot support him... it seems that I need to train King Jing.' Zhu Xu said in his heart. But King Jing is a little worse after all. Zhu Youjian is his brother and has the highest position. Although there have been many bad things in recent years, King Xin is more popular than Shilin's favorite emperor, Zhu Xu.

King Jing was not only not the direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, his status, grade, and prestige were not as good as Zhu Youjian in terms of status, rank, and prestige.

But if it was absolutely necessary, Zhu Xu could only support King Jing to the throne.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu again and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I plan to submit my article tomorrow to appoint Chen Xinjia as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Zhou Daodeng, and Liu Hongxun as the auxiliary minister of the cabinet."

Zhu Xu knew that he wanted to issue an order. But he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. Chen Xinjia was fine. Liu Hongxun and Zhou Daodeng were actually drawn by Zhu Youjian, which was almost exactly the same as the "Mibu" in history!

This is such a joke to choose ministers for the country, and the ones who choose important officials!

Zhu Xu didn't like Zhou Daodeng and Liu Hongxun, and said directly: "Chen Xinjia, when I meet tomorrow, I will appoint him as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. The other two, the emperor will consider it again."

Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly. This was the first time the emperor refused him. What signal did he reveal, or what was the handle of these two people being caught by the emperor?

No matter what, the emperor disagrees that even if the two were sentenced to death, Zhu Youjian had to raise his hand and say, "I will follow the order and go back and choose again."

Zhu Xuheshou said, "Well, the emperor must remember that if you want to completely eradicate the style of forming cliques in court officials, you must first eliminate the environment for forming cliques."

Zhu Youjian heard it a little harsh. The emperor was a little abnormal today. He no longer had the "gentle and humbleness" of the past, and had a determined domineering look, which also made him feel awe-inspiring and more vigilant.

"I understand." Zhu Youjian raised his hand nervously.

Zhu Xu explained a few more words and watched Zhu Youjian leave, his eyes slightly cold.

The restart of the cabinet is actually an opportunity for many people, which also indicates a resurgence of the party struggle, which is obviously not what Zhu Xu wants.

There is only one person in the cabinet, and Shi Fenglai and others were disliked by Zhu Youjian and abandoned him. Zhu Xu wanted to prepare Yuan Ke as the Minister of Rites, and Zhang I continued to enter the cabinet. There are only two more places to give Zhu Youjian two more places and allocate five people!

Such a pattern will help Zhu Youjian control the cabinet, and the orders issued by the cabinet will have sufficient effect.

Zhu Xu thought for a while and breathed a sigh of relief. The subsequent reforms were all very involved and needed to be justified. It was the most suitable in the name of the cabinet.

Putting aside these, Zhu Xu turned on the playbook again, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Xiong Wencan reported that the Red-haired man and the Folang machine had a conflict at sea, and there seemed to be signs of a war. At the same time, the Red-haired man was also provoking the Ming Dynasty. There were more and more actions to rob the Ming Dynasty merchant ships. Many merchant ships were detained. There has been no news yet, and there has been no result in sending people to negotiate. Even the Red-haired man's fleet still appeared in the Taiwan Strait, which seemed to be coveting the Taiwan and the Wan Island.

Zhu Xu looked at the memoir, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

What is coming is coming after all. The Ming Dynasty didn’t care much about the sea. It was time to clarify the Ming Dynasty’s maritime strategy.

However, Xiong Wencan is more capable and less enterprising. Zheng Zhilong, the official, is ambitious and knowledgeable, but now he is too short of experience and cannot take on the responsibility of leading a navy, let alone compete with the Red-haired and Franchise men for sea control.

"Who?" Zhu Xu said to himself. The Ming Dynasty was full of talents, but if you had to choose someone to command the navy, you wouldn't be able to find it in a while.

The Red-haired people, namely the Holland people, are now the coachman on the sea and have strong strength. The Ming Navy has not been established for a few years, and there is no experience in large-scale naval warfare. It is a bit delusional to fight for the South China Sea for a short time.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xu turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Where is that Zheng Yiguan now?"

Cao Huachun took a step forward and recalled: "I have returned to Fujian, and my current official position is the lieutenant."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "After Yuan Keli entered the capital, he would immediately call him to see me."

Cao Huachun responded and said, "Abide by the order."

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while and found that the current situation in the Ming Dynasty was that it was raining all night long, and there was not much "good news" in the true sense.

After two days and one night of travel, Zhu Xu felt soreness in his waist and back pain not long after sitting, and was in a state of intact. He shook his head, looked up at the sky, and said, "Let's get here today, and call the six ministers of the ministers into the palace tomorrow, and there is also King Jing."

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu left the imperial study room and looked around. He seemed to be able to go to Li Jieyu. If he went back to his bedroom, it would seem a bit unreasonable and would embarrass Li Jieyu.

I sighed in my heart, and I missed the free days of sleeping alone.

Cao Huachun didn't know Zhu Xu's concern, so he followed him, holding a lantern and said, "Your Majesty, I've had an interesting thing in the capital recently."

Zhu Xu has always been interested in this kind of "interesting thing" and said enthusiastically: "Tell me."

Cao Huachun glanced around and said as he walked, "The King of Tang doesn't like the prince, so he imprisoned the prince and the prince's son in a secret room, and wanted to starve to death, but Chen Qiyu broke it. The King of Tang had to release the prince, but the prince died strangely not long after he came out. It is said that the King of Tang is now going to make his youngest son the prince of the Tang king."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. The royal family was so dirty that the royal palace was not much better. Although it was hateful, it could not reach the point of "interesting". He couldn't help but turn to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun lowered his head slightly and said, "But Chen Qiyu warned the King of Tang that the cause of the prince's death was unknown, and the court might pursue it. The King of Tang was afraid and wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Lijian to make the prince's son the grandson. However, not long before the emperor returned to the capital, he withdrew it. At the same time, the Ministry of Justice received a report saying that it was 'Zhu Youjian who wanted to get the King of Tang and poison his biological father' and 'the evil behavior should be punished to be cut into pieces'."

Zhu Xu stopped suddenly, looked at the dark sky with his hands behind his back, and vaguely remembered it.

In history, there was a Tang King who went to Beijing to serve the king. He was finally imprisoned by Zhu Youjian for more than ten years. He was later famous Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

This Emperor Longwu was quite promising, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. Nanming was already unable to turn things around and died after being captured.

"It's this Zhu Youjian?" Zhu Xu said to himself. Old Tang King is over 60 years old this year and probably has no chance of survival.
