After a while, Zhu Xu put down his pen, looked at the sky, and said, "When King Xin arrived at the cabinet, he called him to the imperial study room. By the way, let the imperial kitchen make a bowl of sacrificial soup."

Liu Shimin responded and turned around and went out.

Zhu Xu left the side hall, with a sore waist and back pain all over. He stood in front of the door, moved briefly, and walked towards the imperial study room.

Speaking of which, he rarely exercises as he used to be. He always feels driven by something, and he is racing against time and can't stop for a moment.

"This is a habit..." Zhu Xu said this, and he could understand why Emperor Chongzhen in history was not close to women. He had trouble all day long. Who is still in that mood? He is also a person with a strong sense of responsibility and cannot tolerate himself being slackened.

"This is fate!"

Zhu Xu suddenly thought of the three words "masochism" and quickly explained to himself.

Cao Huachun followed behind, listening to Zhu Xu muttering with confusion.

Not long after Zhu Xu entered the imperial study, Li Jieyu ordered people to bring the strong tea that was refreshing, which obviously made people keep staring at it.

Zhu Xu shook his head and said to himself: Women are just trouble.

喝了点浓茶,朱栩提了提精神,翻着今天的奏本.

The top is the memorial of Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou. Zhu Xu has a deep impression of this person.

When the Yi people rebelled and besieged Guiyang for more than a month, Zhu Sanshan was calm and rational, had the means and ability to successfully delay the rebels until Qin Liangyu and others led their troops to rescue and lifted the siege of Guizhou.

He opened the book with a little smile, but couldn't help but frown, his expression slightly condensed.

‘For several years, the hometowns have been suffering from desolation, the moon has not been suffering from soldiers, the sun has not been suffering from losses, the drought has been scattered, the wild has no grass, nine out of ten houses are empty…’

‘There is no barking dog in the village, but it still knocks on the door of the urge to conquer; there are cried cuckoos in the trees, and all the blood is sprinkled with whips. The yellow land is yellow and the villages are almost broken; the white bones and green phosphorus are like crying every night. If you want to make the poor people not turn into thieves, you cannot get it...’

‘The drought caused another locust plague. In the fifth year of Tianqi, the second year of Chongzhen, the third year of Chongzhen, the fourth year of locust drought every year. People eat each other, the grass and trees are gone, and the earth bandits are all rising...’

Wang Sanshan's memorial wrote all the situations in the southwest and other places, just a few hundred words, and the tragic situation was as if in front of him.

Zhu Xu frowned and frowned. The situation in the southwest was even worse than he thought. Wang Sanshan asked to immigrate from Guizhou first, and he could move as much as he could.

Zhu Xu looked at this memorial, and thought hard about countermeasures.

Liaodong is not yet mature and cannot transfer so many in one go. Southeast Asia will not be able to solve the urgent problem for a while.

The population of several southwestern provinces is nearly 30 million. If such a severe drought is over, I don’t know how many people will die.

Liu Shimin brought the soup and breakfast to the sacrificial soup. Seeing that Zhu Xu was not moving, he did not dare to speak out.

Zhu Xu was still thinking that the entire Ming Dynasty was suffering from disasters, and it would be so easy to place millions or even tens of millions of people in a short period of time!

Suddenly, Zhu Xu turned to Cao Huachun and said, "How many people do you think can be arranged in the two provinces of Jiang, Su, Zhejiang and Jiang?" These two provinces can be said to be the best in the Ming Dynasty at present. The disaster is mild, the land is vast, the people are rich, the land is mature, and it is easy to cultivate.

Cao Huachun was slightly stunned and immediately said, "I don't know."

Zhu Xu's mouth moved. During the Qianlong period, the development of the Taihu area was extremely mature. The so-called "Taihu Lake is mature enough in the world" shows that it is extremely rich. Although this time is different from a hundred years later, it should be able to accommodate a lot. If it solves the urgent problem... If it really doesn't work, fill the lake and create land!

"Transfer to Jiang Su..."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows again. He was planning to change the governors from all over the country, but it was useless to call them up now.

Zhu Xu temporarily pressed this matter and picked up the bowl to prepare for dinner.

“皇上,信王来了.”朱栩刚端起碗,刘时敏就道.

Zhu Xu had no appetite, so he put down the bowl and said, "Please take it down, and the King of Shinshu will come in."

"Yes." Liu Shimin asked someone to take it down and at the same time communicated with the King of Message.

Zhu Youjian, wearing a royal robe, walked into the imperial study calmly and calmly, bowed and said, "I will meet the emperor."

Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Youjian with a dull expression. As he grew older, he and Zhu Youjian also gradually got farther and farther away.

With a slight smile, Zhu Xuxu said, "The emperor's brother is flat."

Zhu Youjian thanked him and then stood there, calmly and silently. Since the last incident, he also knew that his relationship with the emperor was completely alienated, so he was much more restrained.

Zhu Xu said bluntly without saying nonsense: "Brother, I asked you to write your memorial, how did you write it?"

Zhu Youjian hesitated for a while, took out the memorial from his arms and said, "Return to the emperor, I have already written it."

Cao Huachun stepped forward and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu took the head slightly and took it into his hand. When he looked through it, his expression was slightly cold.

Zhu Youjian's memorial was quite concise, and he wanted to reshape the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries, emphasizing the "policy comes from the cabinet", local governments restore checks and balances, tighten the powers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, and hold court discussions every ten-day day, etc.

Zhu Xu's face quickly calmed down, and he sighed in his heart that Zhu Youjian was really stubborn and could not even pull back the things he had determined. He thought that Zhu Xu's reform was wrong, and that it was to destroy the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and desperately wanted to pull back.

This is naturally inconsistent with Zhu Xu's ideas and plans.

Zhu Xu looked at the memorial and looked up at Zhu Youjian for a long time and said, "I heard that the third son of the emperor is about to be born?"

Zhu Youjian didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this, and said in a plain tone: "Yes."

Zhu Xu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Then the emperor will be with the princess in the palace these days. I will give you a leave."

Zhu Youjian's face suddenly changed and he looked up at Zhu Xu.

He saw Zhu Xu's expression indifferent and a cold expression in his eyes.

Zhu Youjian felt cold. He knew that the emperor wanted to detain him! At the critical moment when all civil and military officials came to Beijing to discuss the government affairs together!

This time, I am afraid it will be forever!

He suddenly felt angry in his heart, angry at the emperor in front of him!

He was devoted to the country, and he was awake all night and never dared to slack off. Why did the emperor always fail to see it and always suppress him? He was also a descendant of Taizu and Taizong. He wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty. Why couldn't brothers work together? He repeatedly forced him and even detained him!

"Go." Zhu Xu's tone was plain, and the plainness was revealed with endless distance.

He was too disappointed. This person was too tragic in history. I don’t know how many people in later generations said that he was “good but not blessed”. He would be a wise king in peaceful times. But is he really “good”? Zhu Xu clearly kept giving him opportunities. Out of public and selfishness, Zhu Xu hoped that the two of them would work together to resonate with the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Youjian always doesn’t understand the key issues clearly and cannot understand the overall situation, so he can’t help but pull him back!

Zhu Xu's patience was exhausted, and his tolerance was over. He decided to hang the chief minister of the cabinet in the air and let Zhu Youjian "reflect on his homes"!

Zhu Youjian's mouth moved, and there was endless emotion in his heart. He wanted to say something, but he forced himself back to his mouth. His tone seemed particularly calm, and he said word by word: "Abide by the order."

Zhu Xu did not even raise his eyelids, and this decision was not easy for him. Not only did he despair about Emperor Chongzhen in history, but he also marked the real entry into history of his "Chongzhen Era". The Jingzheng Era, which belonged to him, began.

Zhu Youjian left, his expression twisted, and he walked out of the imperial study step by step.

When Zhu Youjian completely walked out of sight, Zhu Xu let out a long breath and looked out the door. Without Zhu Youjian, the burden on him became a little bigger.

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin looked at each other with a worried expression.

Not only is it a "brother fight", if King Xin is just a short-selling chief, his ability to resist the sword light and sword shadows for the emperor will greatly decline. At the moment when the Ming Dynasty reform enters a new stage, the emperor's "saint" is extremely important and cannot tolerate any mistakes!

"It is said that Wei Zhongxian entered the palace!" Zhu Xu sat upright and said in a deep voice.

In addition to Zhu Youjian, Zhu Xu also has a firewall, that is, Wei Zhongxian, who is angry and resentful. Everyone shouts and beats him. He has been refrigerating for so long, and he still needs to shine and heat when necessary.

Cao Huachun was shocked and bowed and said, "Abide by the order!"

After this incident, Zhu Xu had no intention of reading the memorial. After thinking about it, he said, "Go and see the plum blossoms." Then he stood up and walked towards the side door.

Liu Shimin quickly made arrangements and kept instructing the palace maids of the inner prison.

The cold winter has not passed, and the plum blossoms are particularly in full bloom.

Zhu Xu looked behind his hands and looked for a while. He felt particularly bored and sat down on the bench in the pavilion.

With his eyes closed, man's calculations are worse than God's calculations. Zhu Xu is still thinking about the impact of this matter and a series of subsequent arrangements.

I don’t know if it’s because of too many worries or being tired, he lie down for a while and then slowly fell asleep.

Wei Zhongxian soon entered the palace and waited outside the Imperial Garden. Liu Shimin and Cao Huachun saw that the emperor was asleep, and knew that he was very tired recently and could not sleep, so they didn't wake him up.

Wei Zhongxian didn't know that the emperor was asleep, so he stood outside the door, neither arrogant nor impatient, bent down, and waited quietly.

Zhu Youjian returned to the cabinet and explained the matter. Then he said that he had "taken a leave" and left the cabinet, left the palace, and returned to the palace.

Lai Zongdao and Zhang Woxu were both puzzled. Now that all officials are entering Beijing, it is a busy time. King Xin just wanted to "take leave" at this time?

Thinking of him being called by the emperor before, the two of them were so nervous that they both closed their mouths and did not dare to say a word, and they were more diligent in supporting the cabinet affairs.

Bi Ziyan and the six ministers were also busy. As officials from all over the country entered Beijing, they had to entertain and talk one by one, explain the imperial court's reform plan, and strive for support, while ensuring the meeting started smoothly and ended smoothly, without any mistakes.

Officials in the capital have entered an unprecedented busy time, and almost no one can rest.

Ruan Dacheng, Sun Zhixie and others kept connecting, waiting for the court's explanation.

There was no decrease in the number of people surrounding Huang Chengyuan's mansion, and the screams were heard from morning to night, and they kept shouting and scolding Huang Chengyuan for a while. Mrs. Huang still did not stop and scold Huang Chengyuan's mouth, from the moment before she woke up to falling asleep.

Huang Chengyuan was extremely painful and could only hold on and wait for the court to finish the matter.

Chaos and complexity, rushing, covering everything up.

Zhu Xu slept until noon before waking up slowly. When he woke up, he found that he was covered with a thick quilt and his body was still a little chilled.

Zhu Xu opened his eyes, gave a sigh of relief and sat up, saying, "When is it now?"

Cao Huachun, not far away, came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal."

Zhu Xu's eyes opened again, rubbed his face and said, "Where is Wei Zhongxian?"

"I've been waiting outside the door." Cao Huachun said as he asked someone to take away the bedding.
