"Have you heard that? The Emperor is going to hunt?"

"I heard that, hey, it's been so many years since I was in Ming Dynasty. Our emperor can really make trouble..."

"According to the emperor's requirements, all civil and military ministers above the second rank must ride horses out of the city and are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs and carriages. How can those adults bear it..."

"This is not an isolated case. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites, all the imperial examinations this year have been added, and all the six arts have been added. If you fail to ride and shoot, you will directly get out of the third grade. Now I don't know how many scholars are practicing riding horses and archery. The prices of these things on the market have increased several times..."

"Many adults wrote a letter saying that they were sweeping the floor with a gentleman's politeness, but they were angrily scolded by Sun Ge Lao. The six arts of gentlemen and the words of saints are not allowed to be defiled, but they are afraid they will become customized..."

In some small class rooms of the Six Bu Jiuji Temple, various voices were whispering, all of which were dynamic reactions of the government and the country.

Seeing August approaching, the cabinet was busy, especially after the summer harvest, the cabinet's government affairs were several times more arduous.

Walking out of the palace, Sun Chengzong accompanied Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, the 'military reform' has reached a stage, the overall situation has stabilized, and there is no major problem for the time being. Governor Cao's army has arrived in Shaanxi and is participating in the suppression of bandits. After a while, they will go to Sichuan to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the chieftains. The General's Office and the Ministry of War will send people to observe..."

Zhu Xu wore a single dress and tried to hide from the hot sun in the shade. He listened and nodded, "Observe carefully, make a good analysis, summary, suggestion, and implement it. Treat the army with strict discipline. The decay of the garrison is a profound lesson. It must be learned and avoided..."

Sun Chengzong heard the response and continued: "Dorgon started a war against Siam. He had more defeats and fewer victories. He barely defended him and wrote a letter to ask for help from the court."

Zhu Xu stopped in front of Donghua Gate, looked at the sun with a fan, and made him quickly retract his head, sneered, and said, "Dorgon mostly did it on purpose, one faced me with weak power, and the other was accumulating strength. Stay at the center, by the way, tell Nan'annan that this year, the tax collection will be officially collected, and the autumn harvest will begin."

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's time to test Dorgon. However, according to my information, Siam is very strong, and Dorgon may not be able to hold on."

"Don't underestimate Dorgon."

Zhu Xu fanned the fan and looked out the door, and said with a cold look: "Don't underestimate him at any time. It is of great use to support him, but he will not be allowed to leave my circle! What your general's mansion wants to do must be 100%. There must be no luck and misjudgment."

Sun Chengzong felt Zhu Xu's tone seriously and immediately said, "Yes."

"What are your plans on the Navy?" Zhu Xu stood there without moving, and then asked.

The Navy is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the General Administration, but in fact it has been under the control of Zhu Xu and is not within the scope of this "military reform".

Sun Chengzong naturally knew this, but he did make some arrangements to wait for the future. He did not hide it, and the entire General's Mansion knew it, so Zhu Xu naturally knew it clearly.

Sun Chengzong pondered and said, "The General's Mansion means not to move for the time being. Let's make arrangements when the situation in our Ming Dynasty improves."

Zhu Xu had some expectations for this, paused for a moment, and said, "You all know the outside world. The ocean is so big, a navy is definitely not enough. The nature of the joint fleet is still a coastal defense. Although it is expanding, it is not a far-sea fleet. I plan to split the navy and divide it according to the ocean, form multiple fleets to perform ocean missions and safeguard the interests of our Ming Dynasty at sea..."

"Your Majesty, how much do you plan to expand?" Sun Chengzong asked, quite cautiously.

The investment of the navy is even more terrifying than that of the army. If a navy of 50,000 people is to be established, the investment is more than ten times that of the army!

This is undoubtedly a worse situation and unbearable for the current overwhelming treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu didn't know what Sun Chengzong and others thought, and said calmly: "Split the Navy, but the number remains unchanged. How to split it into several groups? How to split it? Your Majesty's Mansion will do it and give it back to me. By the way, the Navy must also participate and cannot just suppress it..."

Sun Chengzong felt relieved and said understandingly: "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Xu looked up at the sky again and said, "How are you preparing for hunting?"

Sun Chengzong said: "It's ready, and you can arrive in one hour after leaving the city. Although it's a bit abandoned, it can be used after repairing it. The garrison has been arranged and the nobles will not disturb you. The list has been submitted. I wonder who the emperor will add?"

Zhu Xu carried the fan behind her back, and after a while, he said, "There are ten places on the Zhengyuan side, Song Yingxing, two professors, two doctors, and five students. By the way, my sons will go there too. Please optimize the specific process and send it to the Qianqing Palace tonight."

Sun Chengzong had long known Zhu Xu's "martial spirit". He was still in controllable range. He did not stop him and said, "Yes, in addition, I want to ask for a few places, which are from the Military Academy."

Zhu Xu glanced at Sun Chengzong and knew who he was talking about. He nodded and said, "Yes, let's arrange them all in. I want to see which talents are in the next generation of my Ming Dynasty."

"Abide by the order." Sun Chengzong responded.

Zhu Xu fanned the fan and said carefully: "You should keep an eye on these things, don't worry. By the way, Japan, the Southeast Peninsula continues to increase its intensity of surveillance. I have notified the Jinyiwei that before the end of the year, all military intelligence will be transferred to the Military Intelligence Department. You must take it seriously. If something goes wrong with the General's Mansion, I will consider taking it back."

Sun Chengzong was shocked and moved, and said quickly: "Yes, I obey the order."

Zhu Xu looked at the hot sun outside and felt a little regretful. He put on the fan and said, "Okay, that's all, go and do it."

Sun Chengzong raised his hand and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu picked up the fan and walked out of the shade. The scorching sun shone on his whole body, and his whole body seemed to be burning.

Cao Huachun followed behind and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Heaven Supervision has calculated that the temperature today is at least 42 degrees, and the temperature on the street is even higher."

Zhu Xu held the fan to cover her head, breathed, and said, "It's good that they were asked to go to Yunwu Mountain, otherwise there would be a problem with the heat. The adults in the outer court have a lot of ice and charcoal?"

"They are all very good, but the weather is too hot, so I'm afraid they are not feeling well. I have heard that many people have suggested moving the capital and moving it back to Nanjing." Cao Huachun said cautiously.

The issue of moving the capital was never cut off in the Ming Dynasty, and there were all kinds of reasons. However, now the Jiannu and Mongolia capital were destroyed, and there was no threat in the north. It seemed that the capital was meaningless in the north. Many people wrote a letter again and moved the capital back to Nanjing.

Some people can write dozens of pros and cons with pens, sending them to the palace.

These sounds are particularly loud this year, and are even louder this summer than before.
