Chapter 105: Zhu Xu's Tea Party

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was silent, Lu Xiangsheng spoke, "Sir, what do the emperor have to say, have you ever revealed one or two?"

Sun Chengzong put down his teacup, pondered and shook his head.

I don’t know how many people in the world are guessing the thoughts of Gan Qing Palace, but how many of them can guess correctly? If he doesn’t make a sound, they will definitely not be able to guess the thoughts of that person!

Guo Guangxin is also a newcomer, nominated by Shen Yongmao. Sun Chengzong nodded and took office last year, not long after.

Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the room, he said, "No matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, at this time, there must be a result. Soldiers are not trivial matters, and they must not be delayed without restrictions like the 'New Policy'. They must also be cut off if they are done!"

Sun Chengzong looked up at him and said, "Well, I'm right. I'll go to the palace tomorrow to explain our ideas. I hope the emperor will set the time for the "military reform" discussion as soon as possible."

Shen Yongmao, Lu Xiangsheng, and Guo Guangxin had no objection. This matter needs to be decided as soon as possible. Generals from all over the country must return as soon as possible, as if they are late, there may be changes.

The next day, before Sun Chengzong could enter the palace, Zhu Xu's decree was passed on.

Sun Chengzong, Minister of War Shen Yongmao, Minister of War Lu Xiangsheng, Guo Guangxin, and other generals from various places were ordered to enter the palace before lunch to discuss the "military reform".

Everyone looked at the Ganqing Palace with caution. Everyone knew that this was going to set the tone.

The Ming Dynasty now divided 22 provinces, but some provinces are famous. The foreshadowing of the future, such as Qinghai, is still in the hands of the Mongolian tribe, and there are many generals who cannot arrive in Beijing due to various problems. Therefore, this "Military Reform" meeting, plus Sun Chengzong and some people from the Ministry of War, there are only 21 people in total.

The next day, early in the morning, Fengzao Palace.

Under the eaves, the small hot pot was churning, and Zhu Xu was sitting on his legs. The little guy seemed to be weak and unrestrained, like a fat guy, with his big eyes open and he kept looking up at Zhu Xu.

"Ye'er, come on, call me Father..." Zhu Xu teased the little guy and said with a smile.

The little guy blinked, motionless, with a blank expression.

Zhu Xu picked up a piece of tofu and said in front of the little guy's mouth, "Come on, I'll give you something to eat..."

The little guy looked at Tofu, then looked at Zhu Xu, blinking without any extra moves.

Zhu Xu teased for a while, turned to look at Li Jieyu, and said, "Didn't you say that Ci Ye can talk these two days?"

Li Jieyu held Xiao Shuxian in her arms, and she smiled and said, "Maybe he is still young. This morning he called his mother in a vague way, but he refused to say it later..."

Zhu Xu looked at the little guy again. The little guy grabbed Zhu Xu's clothes with one hand and kept looking up at him. He blinked his eyes, his expression was blank and there was no other thing in his eyes.

"Is Shuxian able to speak?" Zhu Xu looked at Shuxian in Li Jieyu's arms again. This little guy was a little more lively. He was now crawling around and learning to speak.

Li Jieyu looked at Xiao Shuxian in her arms. Her eyes were staring at the churning hotpot, her hands were greasy, and her expression was eager to try.

"Xian'er doesn't, but I think she will say the complete words before Ye'er..." Li Jieyu picked up a small piece of fat meat for Xiao Shuxian and said with a smile.

Zhu Xu agreed very much. Shuxian is more clever than Ci Ye. Ci Ye always looks dull and reacts more than a beat slower.

Zhu Xu looked at Xiao Ciye, thought for a moment, and said, "Little guy, let me go for a while, and train me well."

Li Jieyu pursed her lips. Although Zhu Ciyan was the eldest son of the emperor, the Empress of the Central Palace had just entered the palace. If it attracted some unnecessary suspicion, it would be troublesome. She hesitated quietly and said softly: "Emperor, Ci Ye is still young. I will train me slowly first. When I get older, I will hire a good teacher for him. The Empress Dowager also means this."

Zhu Xu didn't think so much and said directly: "It's still early in the future. I'm so angry. With a little guy here, I don't have to be so bored."

Li Jieyu glanced at Zhu Shuxian in his arms, hesitated, and gave up on his plan to send her over.

After breakfast, Zhu Xu stayed in Fengzao Palace for a while before taking Zhu Ciye back to Ganqing Palace.

When the eldest son of the emperor came to the Ganqing Palace, it was inevitable that there would be some fun. There were two palace maids from Fengzao Palace in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and some internal prisoners also stood quietly not far away. Carefully.

On the soft collapse, Zhu Xu sat at the small table, and Xiao Ciye followed him, looking at Zhu Xu's hand holding the pen with big eyes, without any other movement except blinking.

Zhu Xu placed him between his crossed legs, reviewed the memoir, and teased him from time to time. The little guy was completely disrespectful and didn't make any sound.

As time passed by bit by bit, Cao Huachun came in from outside and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the time is almost over. Master Sun Ge, Secretary Shen and the generals are already waiting at the Ganqing Sect."

Zhu Xu put down the memoir in his hand, said 'um', and looked down at Ci Ye in his arms. The little guy was already asleep and leaned against Zhu Xu's chest, quietly and silent, without any sound.

Zhu Xu smiled, picked up Xiao Ciye, put it aside, covered it with a quilt, thought for a while, and said, "Let them all come here, move the chairs, prepare tea and snacks, and add a little fruit."

Cao Huachun was slightly stunned and said, "Yes."

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Xiao Ciye, who was inside the soft collapse, slowly got up, climbed to Zhu Xu, imitated him, and sat up, opened his eyes wide, looked at Zhu Xu, and then looked forward.

Zhu Xu also blinked, this little guy...

Then he smiled and said, "Well, just sit like this. If you all say hello later, don't pay attention to them and leave them alone."

The little guy didn't know if he could understand it. Looking at Zhu Xu, he turned to look at the two palace maids not far away. They were all from Fengzao Palace and were taking care of him specifically, so he was obviously more familiar with him.

While Zhu Xu was speaking, Sun Chengzong led the Ministry of War and a group of generals under the guidance of the internal supervisor to enter the Ganqing Gate, enter the Ganqing Palace, and go straight to the East Warm Pavilion.

These people thought that Zhu Xu would meet them in the Ganqing Palace, at least it would be more formal, but they didn't expect it was Donghunting Pavilion.

When Sun Chengzong and others entered the door, they saw three rows of chairs and small tables, tea and pastries in between. They couldn't help but be stunned.

But according to etiquette, he walked into Zhu Xu, who was sitting cross-legged on the soft collapse and said: "I will meet the emperor."

They were stunned again as soon as they bowed, because they noticed that there was a little guy beside Zhu Xu. At this time, everyone suddenly understood and calculated according to time, this should be the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Ciye.

Because of some relationships, many people know that there are two princes in the palace, but there are so many people they have met. This is the first time the eldest son of the emperor has made public appearance.

Everyone's thoughts were churning, and they were a little stiff when they were worshiping there.

Today's emperors almost overthrew the national system, policies, and even ancestral teachings since Taizu, and destroyed them. I don't know how loud the opposition in the world is. They have always been worried that if the current emperor has an accident, not to mention the crisis of the royal family, what is terrible is that the country will shake. Seeing that the eldest son is sitting beside Zhu Xu, some are at ease, while others are still worried.

The emperor today is too strong, and a person controls almost all power. If he is really surprised, a young eldest son ascended the throne, who can still protect the Ming Dynasty? The biggest possibility is that it will fall apart from the court to the local government in an instant and is irrescueable!

Of course, most of the people present were supporters of the Zhu family. Even if a young prince ascended the throne, he would do his best to protect him.

A group of people have different thoughts, so I worship there.

Zhu Xu looked at these people and smiled gently, "No gifts, sit down. Today we will hold a tea party, don't be so restrictive, relax, just like ordinary people, talking about family matters."

Everyone still didn't realize what this "tea session" was, so they had to sit down according to their words.

Zhu Xu looked at the group of people sitting down, and saw them looking reserved, bowed, looked solemn, and picked up the teacup with a smile, and said, "Let's relax, let's talk casually. Although it is about the major affairs of the country, as long as you are dedicated to the country and do not mix your selfish thoughts, there is nothing to say. You can speak freely and say everything you want. You can say anything useful. Look, today I have brought Ci Ye here, and he will listen to it together."

Zhu Xu laughed and carried Zhu Ciye into his arms, picked up his little hand, and said, "Come on, say hello to you, hello, my highness is called Zhu Ciye, and he is the eldest son of the emperor..."

More than 20 people looked at Zhu Xu and Zhu Ciye in his arms, and didn't know how to react for a while. But they could understand that Zhu Xu was eased the atmosphere and smiled more or less on his face.
