Li Sizhong and others lowered their heads and were extremely alert.

The emperor in front of him is a person who has no way to guess. If you say a wrong sentence, it may be a disaster.

Does the emperor mean anything else? Should they be banned from the capital, or should they really use them with confidence?

Li Sizhong had several thoughts flying in his heart and raised his hand and said, "I will listen to the emperor's orders."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "That's good. Don't slack off after you go back. You often go to Beijing West Camp to learn new military strategies. I hope you don't let me down."

"Abide by the order." These people were respectful and cautious, and did not dare to be careless at all.

Liu Shimin walked in from outside and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Emperor, Lord Bi, Master Sun Ge Lao is asking for a visit in the imperial study."

Zhu Xu nodded, stood up and looked at the old concubine and said, "Taofei, please sit for a while."

When Concubine Liu saw Li Sizhong and others, she waved her hand and said, "Go, Master, I'm here."

Zhu Xu smiled at Li Jieyu again and quickly left Yuntai.

This was also considered to be a deliberate "negligence" towards Li Sizhong and others, and to calm down the dissatisfaction within the court.

Li Sizhong and others were uneasy, worried that the emperor or the Ming Dynasty would settle the accounts after the fall.

Fortunately, the old concubine Liu and Li Jieyu were there, and Li Sizhong felt a little relieved and was not afraid.

When Zhu Xu came to Jingyang Palace, Cao Huachun hurriedly ran out, handed a note, and said anxiously: "Emperor, Li Jingbai and others have been killed, and Li Yan is missing."

Zhu Xu's face changed slightly. He took the note and looked at it. This was the urgent comment from the Jinyiwei. There was not much content and the details could not be seen from it.

He looked solemn and entered the imperial study room. Without waiting for Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan saluted and said directly: "Li Jingbai and others were all killed."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were both shocked. Over the years of the Ming Dynasty, they thought that few governors were killed, especially in the emperor's power. The big mouth of Liaodong victory was afraid that not only the emperor, but all officials in the world would not give up easily!

Bi Ziyan knew that the emperor was in a rage and immediately snatched the time: "Emperor, I have sorted out the response strategies for the six southwestern provinces such as Shaanxi and Xi, and I have compiled them. Please check it out."

Cao Huachun hurriedly took it and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chaise with a gloomy expression.

Shaanxi and Xi are the focus of the court and put in the most effort. However, the governor was easily abducted and then killed in a stern manner. This is either a provocation, or a declaration of war against the court, the emperor!

He glanced at him, Bi Ziyan and others modified his proposal, making it more reasonable.

Zhu Xu sneered in his heart. He was still too generous to the southwest and the court was too generous. He looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "I will let the Jinyiwei find out about this matter, just do what you said. I will order the cabinet to issue an edict. Also, determine the date of the ministers' entry into the capital. In early April, I will leave the capital and go south!"

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan both felt the emperor's anger, but they still had to persuade him. Sun Chengzong said: "If the emperor leaves the palace and goes south, it will have a huge impact and will cost a lot of money. Please think twice."

Bi Ziyan said: "Emperor, there must be no emperor in the capital. Jiangnan can send imperial envoys to inspect."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said resolutely: "I have decided, so there is no need to persuade him anymore. I ordered Li Banghua to enter Shaanxi quickly and severely pursuing it. There will be no more trouble in the southwest!"

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan were very worried. It was not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace. Although they were going to Jiangnan, they also made them worried. They were even more worried that the emperor had other purposes for this trip!

However, today is obviously not a good time to ask the emperor, so I have to raise my hand and say "Abide by the order."

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon throne, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed. Li Jingbai's incident was beyond his expectations, and it was hard to say what variables it would bring to the Southwest.

However, Cao Huachun knew that the emperor could not wait to go south at this time, and probably wanted to go to Shaanxi and Xi as soon as possible.

"Let's go to the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Xu suddenly stood up and said.

Cao Huachun was stunned and quickly responded and went to make arrangements.

Zhu Xu, dressed in casual clothes, took Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Huachun walked towards the Ministry of Rites after leaving the palace.

Yuan Keli just took over the Ministry of Rites and had too many things to be familiar with and done. He is now checking all the information about the court newspaper.

Wen Tiren stood beside Yuan Keli, with a proud expression on his face, and said with a smile, "Sir, this court newspaper is becoming more and more important to the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor attaches great importance to the court, and the subordinates have never slacked off at all."

Yuan Keli looked quietly, nodded from time to time, and said, "Yes, the emperor talked to me about this a few days ago, and once said, "The party fights and the country, and if you want to eliminate the party fights, you should first understand the disaster." This court report is the weapon of the "the disaster of wisdom"!"

Now no one in the Ming Dynasty knew that the emperor disliked cliques. Wen Tiren naturally agreed: "What the lord said is so much. This powerful weapon must be held in the hands of the court! Some days ago, someone circulated the "tabhumi" and the Ministry of Rites once advocated severe punishment."

Yuan Keli looked at Wen Tiren. He didn't like this person very much, and was too sleek, but he was quite capable. He agreed with his words and said: "Yes, you must strictly control the newspapers and do not allow anyone to circulate remarks that are not conducive to the court or the emperor. Anyone with ulterior motives needs to be severely punished!"

"Sir Shangshu, the emperor is here and is having tea in the front hall!" The head of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly ran in and said anxiously.

Yuan Keli and Wen Tiren's faces changed slightly. They hurriedly put down the newspaper in their hands and rushed to the front hall.

"I'll come to see the emperor!" Yuan Keli, Wen Tiren, and Qian Qianyi were all here, and they were very nervous.

Zhu Xu sat there, looked at the three of them and smiled, saying, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to discuss something with Lord Yuan."

Wen Tiren and Qian Qianyi's eyes relaxed, and he raised his hand with tactfulness and said, "I'm leaving."

Zhu Xushou stood up and looked at Yuan Keli and said, "Yuan Qing, tell me about the merger of the navy."

Although Yuan Keli took office as Minister of Rites, the Northern Navy has always been under his command, and he has always been in charge of promoting the merger of the north and the south.

Yuan Keli was clear about this matter and immediately raised his hand and said, "When you go back to the emperor, in addition to Dengzhou, Dalian, Jizhou, and Sea Cucumber and Wei, the main forces of the Northern Navy have already gone south and are stationed in Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou respectively. They are stepping up the running-in and reorganizing them into one."

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, slightly slight head, and said: "We must step up the training and continue to practice at sea. Tell Xiong Wencan that I will go south next year and check it out myself. If I don't do it well, tell me first and I will find someone to replace him!"

Yuan Keli also heard the news that the emperor was going south next year. This time he heard it with his own ears, and was still a little surprised. He raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, going south is a great thing. Please think twice."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I'm still worried. Let's do this. After the Chinese New Year, you can go to Fujian yourself, so you can give me a first place. Practice the navy well and don't embarrass me!"

Yuan Keli heard the firmness in the emperor's tone and was quite worried.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty rarely left the palace. Every time he left the palace, he was in trouble and trouble, and wasted money. Although Jiangnan was more stable, there was a situation where it was surging and shaking the world.
