The ninth year of Jingzheng was a very special year in the Ming Dynasty. In later generations, scholars always mentioned this year repeatedly during this period of magnificent and obscure years of study by later generations.

Because this year was a year of qualitative changes in the "Jingzheng New Deal", the starting point of the "Ming Dynasty Revival", and the most difficult, most complex and most special year of the Ming Dynasty.

This year, the Ming Dynasty changed drastically, and the government, the country, the country, the country, the land, the public opinion, etc. had almost undergone an irreversible change.

That is, the "Jingzheng New Policy" is already a rolling iron stream, and the general trend is trending, and no one can oppose it or hinder it. Countless people charge forward and move forward rapidly with the "New Policy".

The five cabinet departments led by Sun Chuanting pushed reform into deep waters with unprecedented determination, touching the feudal land barriers for thousands of years, withstood the pressure, and secondary division of the land in the Ming Dynasty.

This was a difficult year and a glorious year.

At the policy address meeting at the end of the year, Sun Chuanting swore to the parliament and the Ming Dynasty with a generous, decisive and confident tone!

Of course, there are also various data listed and credible, and the visible forward-looking effects are almost in front of everyone.

It seems that everyone can see what kind of prosperity the Ming Dynasty will usher in after the reform!

The parliament also gave the most enthusiastic feedback on Sun Chuanting's determination. Last year, Sun Chuanting's report almost failed, and this time the upper and lower houses passed it almost unanimously!

This situation has never happened since the Parliament!

In the tenth year of Jingzheng, the 16th year of Chongzhen in history, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Qianqing Palace and the Nanshu Room.

Zhu Xu's four sons, Zhu Ciye, Zhu Cixuan, Zhu Ciyi and Zhu Cihuang, were all in class. Zhu Xu was in this class.

Accompanied by the queen Zhang Jun, chief assistant Sun Chuanting, Zhu Youjian, Fu Changzong and others, they stood by the back wall.

In front, Zhu Xu sat cross-legged on the ground, and opposite were four little guys.

Prince Xiao Cixuan is already six years old, with a white and tender face. He also imitates Zhu Xu's appearance, sat cross-legged opposite Zhu Xu, tilting his little face, and opening his big black and white eyes, quietly looking at Zhu Xu.

There was a small teapot in front of Zhu Xu. He picked it up, poured a glass of water for the little guy, and said with a smile: "Yuaner, do you have any ideas to say to your father, or what you want to do in the future?"

The little guy is the crown prince. Whether it is Zhang Yun, Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong and others have taught him, the most important thing is to be a "good emperor".

The little guy was no longer a few years ago, and he was often scared away. Listening to Zhu Xu's words, the little guy said in a tender voice: "My son thinks that I am not poor and humble in the Ming Dynasty, every family is healthy and everyone is peaceful."

Zhu Xu thought the little guy would say things like studying hard and sharing his father's worries in the future, but he didn't expect the little guy to say such things.

If it was a minister, even a 17 or 18-year-old boy, Zhu Xu would praise him, but from the mouth of the six-year-old Zhu Cilang, Zhu Xu didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Zhang Yun, not far away, was very nervous, and the handkerchiefs in his hand were twisted together unknowingly.

As the queen, she was under no slight pressure. Not only did she face the criticisms of her ministers, but also the pressure of the imperial heirs. Zhu Cixuan, the crown prince, seemed to be without any threat, but the inheritance of the throne of the Ming Dynasty has always been the biggest disaster.

In addition, the government and the country were turbulent and the officialdom were surging, and Zhu Xu was unpredictable. She did not dare to be sure that Zhu Cilang would succeed the throne safely in the future.

Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong and others were very satisfied with Zhu Cihuang's answer. The crown prince could have such ambition at a young age, and he would not be a wise monarch to succeed him.

If so for decades, the Ming Dynasty would inevitably lead to unprecedented prosperity!

It’s not in vain that they have worked so hard for so many years!

Zhu Youjian had a rare smile on his face. His emotions were inexplicable for Zhu Xu. But he liked Zhu Xu's children, especially Zhu Ciye and Zhu Cihuang, and often invited them to the Xinwang Mansion. Although they caused a lot of criticism and even Princess Zhou was very uneasy, Zhu Youjian still remained the same and did not avoid it.

Zhu Xu was a little uncomfortable to answer Zhu Cixuan's words, touched his little head and said, "Well, remember today's words, only if you don't change your original intention, you will have to do it."

Although the little guy was only six years old, he was extremely intelligent and nodded heavily and said, "I remember it."

Zhu Xu smiled and turned to his eldest son Zhu Ciye.

Zhu Ciye was produced by Li Jieyu. Due to some well-known reasons, Li Jieyu rarely comes out of Fengzao Palace now, and Zhu Ciye is also suppressed by her to be extremely low-key.

This is Zhu Xu's first son, the eldest son, and I like it the most. The little guy is eleven years old, and he is fat and chubby. He is wrapped in a big cotton jacket, and he is bigger than Zhu Cixuan next to him.

Zhu Xu handed him a piece of snack and said, "Ye'er, I heard that you have been in the Royal Court recently, what are you doing?"

Xiao Ciye followed Zhu Xu for the longest time and was also the prince who was most familiar with Zhu Xu. He looked a little stunned. He ate a snack, blinked and said, "My son wants to study."

Zhu Xu was not surprised by this and smiled and said, "What book do you want to read?"

Xiao Ciye said: "My sons especially like "The Work of Heaven" written by Vice President Song."

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "What about other things? Reading is a lifelong thing. You have to do something else, right?"

Xiao Ciye seemed to think seriously about it, and after a while, he looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "My son wants to write a book."

Zhu Xu looked at the little guy, patted his palm on his knees, smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, it's great. My father also had this idea when he was a child."

The little guy looked at Zhu Xu, blankly, wondering if Zhu Xu agreed or something.

Zhu Xu turned to Zhu Cixuan next to Zhu Ciye and said, "Xuan'er, where are you?"

Zhu Cixuan had been waiting for a long time, and thrust his body and said excitedly: "Father, my son still wants to be a general who expands territory for the father, kills demons and eliminates demons, and is the kind of general who is hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"

This is Zhu Cixuan's wish since childhood and has never changed. The little guy has been working hard for this over the years, practicing martial arts, reading military tactics, and even joining the Boy Scouts. He performed quite well in it. The Royal Military Academy wrote letters every month to praise the little guy.

Zhu Xu also liked the second son of Hai Lanzhu very much. He took out a purple box from behind, opened the lid, and handed it to the little guy, saying, "What my father gave it to you, do you think you like it?"

This is a silver token, belonging to the Captain.

Zhu Cixuan was immediately overjoyed, held it in his hand and looked around, looking at Zhu Xu in surprise and said, "Father, are you a captain?"

Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, saying, "Captain Boy Scout, give him a military salute to his father."

The little guy stood up with a snap, knelt on one knee to Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhu Cixuan, see your father, long live your father!"

Zhu Xu smiled and touched his head, saying, "Please keep it, don't let your mother know."

The little guy was so excited that he couldn't think of anything else, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Yeah, yeah."

Zhu Xu looked at him and smiled and turned to his third son, Zhu Ciyi, which was produced by Bumubutai.

Zhu Ciyi was not as good as martial arts, but was a little sad among the brothers. Looking at Zhu Xu's gaze, the little guy was a little nervous and said timidly: "My son also wants to study."

Zhu Xu poured him a cup of tea and said, "Don't be nervous. As long as you don't do anything, your father will allow you to tell the truth."

The little guy is ten years old. Looking at Zhu Xu's encouraging look, his eyes flashed for a while, and he said with a tough forehead: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to play."

Zhu Xu was stunned. This son was so honest.

Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong, Zhu Youjian and others were watching, and listening to Zhu Ciyi's words, they had no reaction.

Zhu Ciyi is destined to have no chance of a great throne. If they are at ease to be a rich and powerful king, that is what they are happy to see.

Zhu Xu was also speechless about the third son. He thought for a while and said, "You will go to the military academy with your second brother tomorrow to join the Boy Scouts."

Zhu Cixuan looked fearful and didn't want to go, but looking at Zhu Xu's expression, he could only respond with his face twisted.

Zhu Xu looked at the little guys with their own expressions and was quite satisfied. He smiled and said, "You go, you have a vacation today, and you can go out of the palace."

The little guys were all very happy. The outside of the palace was another world for them, and they wanted to go out and play at all times.

Zhang Yun smiled and walked forward and took the little guys away. Now there are many people in the court and the country, and it is not safe outside. The little guys are going out to play, so Zhang Yun has to make some arrangements.

Several little guys left, Zhu Xu stood up, looked at Sun Chuanting and others and said, "Marson Sun has decided?"

Several people came over and Sun Chuanting said, "Yes. Marshal Sun decided to leave in March. His resignation has been written and he will wait for the emperor's arrangements."

Zhu Xu pondered and said, "What do you think?"

According to the current system of the Ming Dynasty, the right auxiliary and the marshal of the Grand Marshal's Office were nominated by the chief auxiliary, approved by the parliament, and appointed by the emperor.

This is only theoretical, but in actual operation, it is determined by Zhu Xu.

Sun Chuanting said: "There are basically consensus among the generals inside and outside the general's office, and Deputy Marshal Qin is expected to be the most popular."

Zhu Xu smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "After the Zhongyuan period, you will ask Marshal Sun to give his last speech. At that time, all officials of all fifth ranks and above will go to listen, and all the nobles and nobles, and foreign envoys will invite them."

Sun Chuanting knew that this was Sun Chengzong's farewell ceremony, which was quite grand. It was the protection of Sun Chengzong by the Qianqing Palace, and no one was allowed to counterattack him.

Sun Chengzong was the executor of the Ming military reform for more than ten years. He was afraid that he would offend more than Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting. Sun Chengzong himself was low-key and had no power away from the officialdom. His resistance was quite weak.

Sun Chuanting had a long time ago and said, "Yes. I have come to arrange the resignation treatment of Marshal Sun. I have some ideas. I ask the emperor to submit it. First, I will give it to the duke for five generations. Second, the general's mansion carved a stele of fame and honor, and the portrait of Marshal Sun was hung on the Lingyan Pavilion. Third, I will give it to the mansion and the salary. Third, I will ask the emperor to lead the cabinet out of the city to see him off for ten miles. Fourth, there are guards who personally escort them. Officials along the road must go out to greet him and see him off for him..."
