Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong, King Jing, Wang Qiaonian, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, Qin Liangyu, and Zhao Han, Zhang Bingwen, Zhang Guowei, Zhong Yangsheng, Chen Xun, Fang Kongxiu, a total of thirteen people, plus some internal supervisors responsible for recording, the editor-in-chief of the court newspaper sat in the dark corner, while the side hall was full.

Everyone sat on both sides and waited quietly.

The Ganqing Palace rarely calls them together at such a scale, which is not a formal lecture, and it is mostly some special words to say.

Everyone was thinking. Recently, the cabinet's actions have been quite violent. Not only did they affect the six cabinet ministries of the court, but the local rebound has also become increasingly fierce. They can't guess what Zhu Xu is going to say.

At this time, the eldest prince Zhu Ciye came in from the side hall with a calm expression, raised his hand, and said, "Sir, my father said, "I'm sorry, please wait, you guys, you guys, you guys, you guys, you guys, he still has something to do."

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other and stood up and said, "Abide by the order."

Xiao Ciye said 'hmm', returned the favor with thoughtfulness, and then sat down on the left in the two empty positions.

This action made everyone feel the same again. They thought the position belonged to the queen, but they did not expect it belonged to the Lord Highness.

Everyone present flashed slightly and they sat down one after another.

The government and the public have always been talking about this great highness and are very alert.

Judging from Zhu Xu's previous performance, he seemed to intend to make him the crown prince, but the empress of the central palace already had a legitimate son!

Those who know the inside story have a normal expression, but those who don’t know are anxious.

Sun Chuanting was calm. As the "prime minister" of the cabinet, he knew more. He smiled and said to Zhu Ciye, "Your Highness, I heard that the Empress has been feeling unwell recently, so she is so happy?"

Zhu Ciye turned sideways and said, "My mother is worried about it. She just felt the cold and she is already cured."

Sun Chuanting poured a cup of tea for Zhu Ciye and said, "I heard that Your Highness is entering school. What books have you read recently?"

Zhu Ciye respectfully held the teacup and said, "I am not very clear when I am studying in college, but I am a little slower."

College is no longer something that a child of seven or eight years old can study. Zhu Ciye’s ability to study shows his premature wisdom and intelligence.

Everyone present looked at each other secretly and looked at the two people talking silently.

Sun Chuanting thought slightly and said, "It's really difficult to understand in college. It's okay to be slower, but can you read history?"

Zhu Ciye blinked and said, "My father likes Han Shu and Tang Shi, and often takes me to read some and know a little."

In history books, the most common things are the palace affairs, some tragic and bloody cases, and some filthy cases. Several of these tragedies occurred between father and son and brother. The most alert thing is the change in Xuanwu Gate.

Sun Chuanting didn't know whether Zhu Xu liked the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, or was interested in giving my Highness a lesson in history.

He still smiled on his face and said, "I have hidden some books in my family, and some notes I took in my early years, which may help Your Highness to go to school. After I go back, I will find them and give them to Your Highness."

The little guy's eyes lit up, he stood up and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Master."

Sun Chuanting was born as a Jinshi, and his talent was negligent. He was also the "prime minister". This ceremony is indispensable.

Sun Chuanting quickly stood up and said, "I dare not, Your Highness does not need much politeness."

Xiao Ciye said 'um', sat down, looked up and fell on Sun Chengzong, and said, "Marson, the queen of the mother intends to reward the Sun family with two imperial edicts. I would like to ask you to enter the palace to discuss it tomorrow."

Sun Chuanting quickly got up, raised his hand and said, "Yes."

The little guy said with a calm expression, looked at Prince Jing, and said, "Prince, I heard that the princess is sick, and the mother has assigned an imperial physician. Three imperial physicians will come to consult tomorrow. Don't worry."

King Jing looked at Xiao Ciye, fainted, then stood up and said, "Thank you Your Highness, thank you Empress Li."

The little guy seemed to think that King Jing was his family, with a smile on his face, and looked at Wang Qiaonian, saying, "Old Wang, I heard that Dali Temple has recently cut off many old cases, and the government and the country are full of praise. The emperor also praised the elder for his decisive behavior when it comes to things and proper behavior."

Wang Qiaonian stood up and said, "I am ashamed of you."

Xiao Ciye turned his eyes to Fu Changzong and said, "Uncle, my father said you have been wronged recently. There is a manor outside the capital. I will give it to you in a while."

Fu Changzong had long been indifferent to these external things. However, the attitude revealed by the Ganqing Palace made him happy and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Ciye looked at the last master of the Pavilion. Zhou Yingqiu was not very familiar with this person, but he still followed Zhu Xu's teachings and said: "Gei Zhou, my father plans to allocate five million taels from the treasury to use for the road and waterway project of the Ministry of Works. This matter requires Mr. Zhou to be responsible for supervising and planning."

The civil engineering projects in the Ming Dynasty involved too much and involved too many interests, so the power to operate was extremely complex.

In short, this is a great ‘grace’!

Zhou Yingqiu's expression was calm as usual, and he stood up and said, "I obey the order."

The little guy nodded, and after he finished speaking, he didn't look at the others and couldn't sit upright.

But everyone has different thoughts. These words are obviously from the Qing Palace Sect. Your Highness is just passing on the message, but why is it this Your Highness?

What kind of thought does the Ganqing Palace have about the position of prince? This Your Highness is really just smoke?

A group of people were confused and their eyes flashed in complexity when they looked at Zhu Ciye.

After Zhu Ciye finished speaking, Zhu Xu strode and said with a smile: "Sir, I've been waiting for a long time. Cao Huachun, let's serve the food, sit there, there is no need to be too polite."

A group of people saluted and sat down one after another as Zhu Xu closed his energy.

Zhu Xu sat down, looked around, and smiled and said, "Are you anxious? Come on, let's have a meal first."

The palace maid brought the dishes up, steaming hot and fragrant.

All the great people are calm and their expressions are still sitting.

The little guy blinked and looked at the person on the table curiously. He obviously felt that the atmosphere had changed.

Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks, turned to Xiao Ciye, and said, "Ye'er, pour wine for you all, you are the strong ministers of my Ming Dynasty, don't neglect."

The little guy said 'um', picked up the wine pot, and started pouring wine one by one.

Everyone quickly picked up the wine glass and lowered their heads to show respect.

Zhu Xu picked up the dish casually and said, "Everyone is more casual, no need to restrain himself."

Everyone bowed, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and then waited.

Zhu Xu smacked his lips secretly. He wanted to be gentler and talk about family matters, but he didn't expect that these adults were so alert, so he had to drink a sip of wine first, say a few words, and then get to the point.

Zhu Xu took a sip of the soup, wiped his mouth, and said, "Recently, the number of voices opposing the conquest of Japan has increased. What do you think?"

The main topic is here, but the adults who have always been eloquent have kept silent this time, but they all frowned and thought.

Zhu Xu’s problem cannot be that simple, and he will not mobilize all the people to call them.

Zhang Guowei looked at everyone without saying anything and spoke first: "Your Majesty, I believe that the opposition has its own reasons and needs to be taken seriously and should not be ignored or ignored."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said, "It's reasonable."

Zhang Guowei's eyes flashed with joy and continued, "On the other hand, the court has not done enough. Before conquering the Japanese, the opinions of the ministers should be sought. If the court and the public agree, they will not be able to do so."

Zhang Guowei's words seem to make sense, but after careful consideration, it feels wrong. Moreover, he is also the Minister of War, so what he said is even more interesting.

Chen Xun, Minister of Rites, spoke, saying, "I do not agree with Secretary Zhang's words. The military and national affairs, especially when it comes to wars, should be based on the premise of "victory" and act in secret. How can I publicize and discuss it?"

Zhang Guowei immediately said: "If we cannot work together, if we are both in the court and invaders, how can we win the battle? If we work together, wouldn't it be easier? It is of great benefit to the country and the people, right?"

Chen Xun turned to him and said, "It's not a secret to act, but the root of defeat. Shangshu Zhang is the Minister of War. Do you still need me to teach such a simple truth?"

Zhang Guowei looked ugly. Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Okay, what we are going to talk about today is not this vanguard campaign, but some deep-seated problems caused by this."

Sun Chuanting turned sideways and said, "Please make it clear."

Zhu Xu picked up the wine glass, leaned against the chair, looked at a group of people, and said, "Looking at history, I will not talk about the pre-Qin period. Since Emperor Wu of Han, all dynasties have declined in three lifetimes. The Eastern Han Dynasty was the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty. This dynasty was even more powerful. Emperor Taizong was so powerful that he fought south and north, and all nations surrendered, and even made great achievements overseas. However, Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, and his country's power fell rapidly, and he had been shrinking completely from the north and south, and no fleet went west. Yang, and then to Yingzong, Tumu Fort was defeated, but in just twenty years? Why did it come to this? Later, our Ming Dynasty had to resist and no longer expand its territory. Since Wanli, the resistance power has been lost. Not only the government has been corrupt, but the Five Armies Protectorate has become a decoration. My Ming Dynasty could not find a warable soldier and needed to draw 'militia' from all over the country to fight? I have been thinking about this issue. Today, let's discuss this."

Everyone listened to Zhu Xu's words, pondered the taste, and guessed the deep meaning behind his words.

Since the Records of the Grand Historian, the Central Plains Dynasty has never skipped this rule. Almost all declined after three generations, and public grievances gradually arose, and the dynasty changed in two or three hundred years.

A group of adults were thinking, but no one spoke first.

Zhu Xu's eyes swept over and fell on Zhou Yingqiu, saying, "Master Zhou, you say first. Don't be restrained. Let's just discuss it as a scholar and don't have any burden."

When speaking in front of the emperor, there is no knowledge discussion.

Zhou Yingqiu leaned over and said, "Emperor, there is a saying among the people, "Wealth is not only for three generations". To be immense, the same is true for the court. It seems that later generations have lost the aura of their ancestors, forgotten the hardships of their ancestors in entrepreneurship, lost in glory and wealth, indulged in pleasure, and even the family business declined and the industry withered. Even if there are those who have ambition among the descendants, they are already unable to return and cannot support each other..."
