Zhu Xu took a sip and put it down. He looked at the crowd of people with a smile on his face, but felt a little regretful.

At this time, there should be someone sitting next to him, so that is perfect.

However, he has now been able to collapse before his face and remain unchanged. His thoughts have not been revealed at all. Looking at the people in the hall, he smiled and said, "Everyone is free. Today we are just the king and the ministers who are happy together, only talking about the wind and the moon, not the government affairs..."

Although Zhu Xu said this, the group of people did not dare to be casual, and they all looked tense and did not look at each other.

Zhu Xu seemed not to see it, and said to Bi Ziyan sideways, "Master Bi, I heard that your eldest grandson is fourteen years old this year? Are you going to school?"

As soon as Bi Ziyan was about to get up, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Sit down and say, we only talk about friendship today, regardless of monarch and minister."

Bi Ziyan still had some understanding of Zhu Xu. Hearing this, he sat down with a thankful voice, and then said, "I am worried about it. I am indeed fourteen years old. I was taken to Wuzhong by my three sons in my family and entered the county school."

The expansion of the Royal Court was not enough, and the imperial court did not ban the old county schools, government schools, etc. The Royal Courts in some places were also called county schools. Therefore, Bi Ziyan said "county schools", and everyone could not tell which one it was.

Zhu Xu naturally knew that it was a county-level college of the Royal Court. He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Well, just enter the school. Although we have many people in the Ming Dynasty, we have few talents. We are good at cultivating our students. We will be the vital ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the future..."

"Thank you, the emperor, I only hope that he will not be humiliated, it is a blessing to not be humiliated." Bi Ziyan leaned over and said.

This is naturally a humble word. Zhu Xu smiled, picked up the wine glass, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Sir Sun, I have seen all the children and grandchildren in your family. There are a few that are really good. It is said that you should not avoid relatives. Don't deliberately suppress them. I have asked the Ministry of Personnel to add the list. Don't stop them, either. This is not fair to them..."

Sun Chengzong did not expect Zhu Xu to say this, and his expression moved slightly. He immediately raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will thank you for your son."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, took a sip, looked at King Jing, and said with emotion: "There are not many people in my Ming Dynasty royal family who can get on the table. You haven't disappointed me in the past few years. I have seen your prince, very good, you have kept your politeness and have no bad records. I heard that I have been married, well, I will be the mastermind, I will go with the queen..."

King Jing was overjoyed. This was a great gift. He hurriedly stood up and said, "I thank the emperor for his kindness. I am ashamed of my child."

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "It's no big deal to sit down."

King Jing's face was full of excitement. This was more important than the rewards. He looked excited and his face was red.

Zhu Xu glanced at Wang Qiaonian. Before Zhu Xu could speak, Wang Qiaonian lowered his head guiltily because he came on a rocket and had no achievements at all.

"Dali Temple's recent performance is remarkable, especially in several major cases, which not only considers public opinion but also upholds the law. Mr. Wang is very good. I have read it right, so I drink this cup." Zhu Xu held the wine glass and said loudly.

Wang Qiaonian held the wine glass and turned sideways, saying with trembling: "I dare not, it's all the emperor's wise and magical martial arts..."

Zhu Xu quickly suppressed his hand and said, "Don't flatter me during the Chinese New Year. I can know any kind of virtue when I leave the palace at any teahouse. It's useless to say it here."

Wang Qiaonian naturally knew the rumors outside, and immediately said, "The foolish people and stupid women are all over the world, and they are wise. When thousands of people are wrong, they are heroic. The rumors will never win the hearts of the people and will disperse sooner or later, and the emperor does not need to worry about it."

Zhu Xu paused, pointed at him with a smile, looked at Sun Chuanting, and said, "Sun Baigu, it's not easy for you to be in the cabinet for this period of time, right?"

Sun Chuanting did not stand up and said, "My ministers serve the king as the country, have nothing to do with difficulty."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "I admire you in the family preaching that 'fame is as good as a mountain, and my body is as clear as a dead person'. How many men kneel down and have no moral integrity, far less than a woman in the house!"

Sun Chuanting looked as usual and said, "I am stupid and stupid, so that the emperor can laugh."

Zhu Xu shook his head with emotion and said, "No one is ridiculous, and the wife can't laugh. I have asked the lieutenant to draft a decree to give the honorary wife a third-rank imperial edict to show that other people who are loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves for them!"

Sun Chuanting looked slightly shocked, and quickly stood up and said, "I thanked the emperor for my humbleness."

Zhu Xu said 'um', looked at the five Grand Secretary in front, and smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work this year. Come on, let's have another drink!"

"Thank you, Emperor." Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and other five other cabinet masters raised their glasses together.

After a few people drank a glass of wine, their expressions were calmer, not as restrained as before.

Zhu Xu's eyes turned to the group of people below, all of whom smiled and signaled. After a circle, he said, "Come on the singing and dancing, let's talk about ancient and modern times today!"

Liu Shimin, not far from Zhu Xu, had a look, and a group of people walked out of the side doors on both sides, dancers and piano masters, standing in time, ding dong dong, and the sound of piano like flowing water and phoenix sounded, followed by the smooth and graceful dance of the palace maids.

As a result, everyone's expressions became more relaxed, and their eyes gradually turned from Zhu Xu to the beautiful and beautiful palace maids dancing, and slowly began to whisper.

Zhu Xu sat on it, watching the dance, listening to the song, and showing a happy face.

After a while, he raised his glasses to the people below without having to speak, and the people below did not have to speak. He stood up and drank it all and sat down.

The dancer's figure is graceful, dancing gracefully, the sound of the piano is like water, melodious and melodious.

In the main hall, almost everyone relaxed, listened to the piano and watched the dance, gradually enjoying it, without the previous vigilance.

Liu Shimin stood aside, holding his hands expressionlessly. He knew very well that after such a big scene, he would never just eat and drink simply, which was not in line with their emperor's character.

The ministers gradually became lively, talking and laughing, and drinking. Soon the group of people turned red and red, and they started arguing, and they had no moral character after drinking.

Zhu Xu had a good alcohol tolerance, was very clear-minded, and his movements were a little slow without realizing them.

The dishes were served one after another, singing and dancing, and the tunes were constantly changed. Even those who were very restrained such as Bi Ziyan drank a lot of them under the turmoil of a group of people, and their bodies were unstable and they shook slightly.

At this time, Zhu Xu held the wine glass and his pace was not steady. Under Liu Shimin's careful care, he walked down the white jade ladder and walked towards Zhao Han, saying, "Shangshu Zhao, are you drunk?"

Zhao Han was slightly drunk. Seeing Zhu Xu coming down, he woke up a little, stood up and smiled and said, "Go back to the emperor, it's just the time."

This is obviously a joke that shows intimacy. Zhu Xu smiled and said, "That's good. I heard that the Ministry of Personnel and the Cabinet are competing for the appointment power of officials from the third and fifth ranks?"

According to the current division of power and responsibilities of the cabinet, the third rank or above requires nomination and appointment of the cabinet, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. Between the third rank and the fifth rank, it requires nomination of the Ministry of Personnel and approval by the cabinet. Now the cabinet must be completely taken to bypass the cabinet.

Zhao Han firmly opposed it, and was in a tug-of-war, and the lawsuit had not yet reached Zhu Xu.

Zhao Han became more awake and said, "Yes, the emperor, I think the cabinet is too much and should not be indulged."

Zhu Xu held the wine glass and smiled and said, "I support you. The cabinet cannot expand wirelessly. How to advance and retreat by yourself..."

Zhao Han looked happy and surprised. He could hear that Zhu Xu's words were clearly pointing out. Just as he was about to ask, Zhu Xu had turned to Zhang Bingwen and said, "Shangshu Zhang, I heard that the cabinet has caused you a lot of trouble recently?"

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money and grain, has the right to allocate and budget, and also has indirect influence to control the royal money house, the State Administration of Taxation, and has the right to formulate tax types and amounts. These are all thorns in the cabinet and have always hoped to be in control. In the past, Fu Changzong was there, but the cabinet did not dare to do anything randomly. Recently, it has frequently hinted to Zhang Bingwen and constantly put pressure on it.

Zhang Bingwen is rigid in nature and is strict with others and herself. Therefore, she is the most sober. With the sound of singing and dancing, she raised her hand to Zhu Xu and said: "Return to the emperor, the cabinet has indeed imposed the Ministry of Revenue, and I am thinking of countermeasures."

Zhu Xu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Bingwen to be so direct. He immediately pondered: "My Ming Dynasty is still unclear. All rights and responsibilities need to be carefully divided. It will be difficult to clarify for a while and it will take time. Well, the Ministry of Revenue and the Cabinet must pay attention to methods and cut them with other departments. You cannot give some improper ideas to the Cabinet. The Cabinet must not give all the power, so you can use some compromise methods..."

Zhang Bingwen was conscientious and had a thorough understanding of the relationship between the Ministry of Revenue. He quickly understood what Zhu Xu meant. He silently said: "Yes. The Ministry of Revenue has nothing to do with the Royal Money House and the State Administration of Taxation. After I go back, I will make clear handling of other matters. I... Let's talk to the cabinet openly and honestly."

Zhu Xu smiled and walked towards Shen Yongmao. Shen Yongmao has been under great pressure recently and is drinking a lot now. He is already shaking. Seeing Zhu Xu coming over, he quickly stood up to salute.
