Chapter 192 The first court meeting

Zhu Youxiao's funeral, the new emperor ascension to the throne, the palace replacement, and the successive replacement of important officials in the court were all complicated and complicated, and it was not completely finished until the end of March.

Today is Zhu Xu's first court meeting, with a group of palace maids and eunuchs fiddling with dragon robes.

Cao Huachun stood not far away, looking at Zhu Xu with a little worried expression.

Each of the adults in the court has been through the officialdom for a long time, is worldly and smooth, and is involved with each other. The party members are complicated, and one will have a big problem if it is not dealt well.

It took a while to get it done. Zhu Xu felt extremely uncomfortable after moving a little. After walking a few steps, he looked at Cao Huachun and smiled and said, "I heard that there are more things happening today?"

Cao Huachun had heard the news, and the foreign ministers seemed to intend to "take the school exam" for the new emperor, including Zhu Xu's gentleman, Yang Lian.

He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, Lord Fu has prepared a memorandum, I want you to read it earlier and have a clear idea in your heart."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a strong heart: "It's all about being kind and powerful. They are waiting for my performance, and I want to see their abilities."

Cao Huachun was a little confused about Zhu Xu's words, but now the status gap between the two was too big, and he didn't dare to advise like before. Seeing that Zhu Xu was full of confidence, he didn't say anything again.

Zhu Xu stretched out his arms and let the palace maids wear clothes and hats, put them on one by one, squinting his eyes and looking outside the door.

Dong, Dong, Dong

The bell that originally sounded dull to Zhu Xu was particularly pleasant today.

"Let's go and see what the adults do."

Zhu Xu took a deep breath and said with a smile.

Cao Huachun immediately turned around, waved his hand, and a group of people surrounded Zhu Xu and walked towards Taihe Gate, entering Huangji Hall, which is the Golden Palace.

Zhu Xu walked in through the side door, and his heart was thrilled when he glanced at him.

From front to back, there were more than a hundred people. The front, King Xin, Gu Bingqian and his cabinet masters, the six ministers and ministers, the left and right censors of the Censorate, the deputy chief censors, the Dali Temple Minister, the Tongzheng Envoy, the Shuntian Prefecture, the ministers of various departments, the governors of various departments, the censors of various military governors, the left and right chief generals, the generals of the military commanders, etc., almost all the hall was filled.

Zhu Xu walked to the dragon throne without any hesitation, faced the ministers, and slowly sat down.

King Xin led the way, and Gu Bingqian then all the ministers worshiped loudly, with a rumbling voice, and the scene was extremely grand.

Zhu Xu thought that when he was prepared to collapse in front of him, his face remained unchanged, but his face turned pale at this moment, and his heart was beating violently, and he didn't react for a while.

Cao Huachun stood not far away, glanced at Zhu Xu, looked slightly moved, and walked over and quietly placed a cup of tea in front of Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu suddenly woke up, picked up the tea, and said lightly, "Let's flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The sound shook the roof again. Zhu Xu felt a little hurt in his ears, and he felt dust falling down. He had no intention of drinking the teacup of clear water.

Cao Huachun shouted loudly, dragging the tail tone and said loudly, "Everything is about to be heard."

"I have a memorial,"

A man stood out from the crowd, bowed with a tablet, and shouted: "Fu, the deputy general of the state rebelled, I hope the emperor will mobilize troops to suppress it."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and was the Censor of the Kedao, and he nodded indifferently.

As soon as Zhu Xu's voice fell, another man walked out and said loudly, "Cheer the emperor, the generals of Hangzhou and the state rebelled, defended themselves according to the city, and hoped that the emperor would make a decision."

Zhu Xu nodded and searched the hall.

Zhu Youjian's face was calm, his head lowered slightly, and his expression was faintly sad.

Gu Bingqian always looked calm and looked as if he was a mature country and was confident.

The others basically don’t care about themselves, they have no expressions, hold the tablet and occasionally frown, as if they are telling someone that they are still listening.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Zhu Xu couldn't help but mutter, "Why does it feel like taking classes in college?"

Zhu Xu did not say anything, but the court officials did not stop and came out to report one by one.

"I heard from the emperor that there were severe droughts in Shaanxi and North China, and there were frequent chaos in the people. I asked the court to ease the custody of the court, and 500,000 taels of silver."

"I heard from the Emperor that after the war in Liaodong, all things are in ruins, so I asked the court to allocate funds of 800,000 taels."

"Qizhu, the Dutch barbarians rebelled again and attacked Peng and Hu, please send troops to suppress them."

"I heard from the emperor, Sichuan and Sichuan have a severe drought. Please reduce the tax for three years and mobilize food to provide disaster relief."

"I report to the emperor that the riots in the mountains and east have become a prairie fire, and I urge the court to suppress the enemy."

"Your Majesty, the cabinet is in vain and everything is delayed. I hope you can add it."

"The emperor, Minister of War, Minister of Revenue, Minister of Justice, Minister of the Dali Temple, and the accumulated government affairs are as high as a mountain. I hope it will be short as soon as possible."

Zhu Xu sat upright, listening quietly, and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Only at this time can he realize Zhu Youxiao's feelings.

Zhu Youxiao was not a strong emperor, and he had very few opinions. These adults were so many questions and smashed them at the same time. If they argued again, they were afraid that they would not be able to do anything. They could only be the ones who decided.

Zhu Youjian looked up at Zhu Xu from time to time, showing concern. He knew Zhu Xu a little, but Zhu Xu was only nine years old after all, and it was too difficult for a nine-year-old laughing child to face all this.

At this moment, even Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu were worried and looked at Zhu Xu nervously, with his body tense. They had already discussed secretly that if Zhu Xu was inappropriate, they would come forward to rescue the court and find a way to end the court discussion as soon as possible to cause an excessive impact.

Yang Lian was listening to the sounds of the court at this moment. If he had been waiting for Zhu Youxiao's reply before, but now his student was sitting in that position. The nine-year-old emperor frowned. He threw the plan for the school entrance examination behind his head and stood up to save the venue and said, "I think that the state affairs are complicated and difficult to make a decision for a moment. You can discuss it calmly and not rush for a moment!"

"I object!" A man immediately stood up and said to Zhu Xu, "It is because of the complicated state affairs that we need to make decisions as soon as possible. If we are calm in everything, how can we be urgent? I hope the emperor will make a decision early!"

"I dare to ask Lord Yang, there are priorities and urgent matters. Now what the court discusses, which one can be discussed calmly?" Another person stood up and looked targeted.

"What do you mean by the two sirs?" Yang Lian stood up alone behind him and scolded: "Master Yang is just Emperor Rong thinking for a moment. Could it be that you will make the emperor decide as soon as you say it?"

"No, I am just anxious about state affairs, so why do you mean to force the emperor?"

Soon, there was a quarrel in the court, and every word I said, it expanded to more than 20 people's personal attacks.

Zhu Xu's eyes were shiny, his mouth was dry and his tongue waved to Cao Huachun, and handed the teacup over.

Cao Huachun knew what he wanted and handed the tea cup to the eunuch waiting outside the side door. The eunuch took it and quickly went to pour the tea.

Zhu Xu sat there, his face still, but he was amazed in his heart. This was the first time he had seen such a scene. Except for Kedao, he was basically a third-rank or above. Just like a civil and military officer in the Golden Palace, the swearing streets like a shrew in front of him was really eye-opening.

While he was secretly happy, he almost understood that the middle-class person in the military department should be Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, and behind Yang Lian, it should be his person. Both sides had old grudges and were particularly jealous at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Gao Panlong as the Minister of Revenue!"
