Zhu Xu sat there with a calm expression, but began to reflect in her heart.

When Concubine Liu came here and said this, it was not that she had no intention of being a lobbyist. But if you seriously investigate it, he was indeed anxious during this period.

Whether it was military reform or the court situation, although he was in control of it, it was not as stable and smooth as expected.

After all, Empress Dowager Zhang knew Zhu Xu better. Seeing that he was pondering, she whispered: "Emperor, the concubine has no other intentions. It's just that the court should be kind and not always face the outer court."

Zhu Xu woke up and smiled at Empress Dowager Zhang, saying, "Well, the concubine, the emperor's sister-in-law said, I have recorded it."

By this, Zhu Xu would never restart the cabinet, nor would Zhao Nanxing and others resume it. If the Donglin Party really allowed him to occupy the court, he would probably repeat history. In just over a decade, he would have replaced more than 30 prime ministers and hundreds of six ministers and ministers.

The party struggles continue and the situation is unstable. Where can we do other things?

Concubine Liu had a kind face, but her eyes were shining. She looked at Zhu Xu and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can't help you with what you should do. We women can't help you. Everything depends on the ministers of the outer court. What the eunuchs can do is limited after all."

Zhu Xu's head was thoughtful.

After about the aftermath of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch and ministers were suspicious of each other, and the promising emperor could still control the court. In the Tianqi, Chongzhen, and foreign court ministers were often stronger than those of the emperor, so the emperor could only rely on eunuchs to supervise and even do things.

The more the emperor trusts the eunuchs, the more suspicious the outer court, the more the ministers of the outer court will hate the inner officials, and the inner officials will use the emperor to attack the outer court by any means, and it will continue to cycle and repeat.

Concubine Liu looked at Zhu Xu's thoughtful face, grabbed his hand again, and smiled and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Tell me, is the emperor willing to choose a concubine?"

Zhu Xu's mouth moved, and he always felt like he was forced to get married, but he was only ten years old!

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu's expression and laughed in her heart. She sat over and said, "The Concubine, if you want me to say that you have to wait a few more years. The emperor has no intention of choosing a concubine now..."

Concubine Liu smiled and said, "It's not too early or too early. Come to the palace first. I'll help train and train. Look, it's good to believe in the princess, but I like it when I see it."

Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned for a moment and did not respond. She looked at Concubine Liu quietly, wondering if her words meant anything else.

Zhu Xu was also a little surprised and said, "The Concubine, I also think that I should hand over government affairs to King Xin, and devote myself to studying until I become an adult before taking power?"

In Zhu Xu's opinion, Concubine Liu was a forbearing and wise person, and it was impossible for him to say such words.

Concubine Liu sighed and smiled hard, "You are easy to be confused when you are old, but sometimes, there is nothing wrong with being confused."

Zhu Xu's brows moved, and Concubine Liu was obviously hinting at something.

The crispy cake was stuffed into his mouth, and Zhu Xu chewed it while thinking.

Zhu Xu's attitude towards the Donglin Party has always been rejecting them, not allowing them to control the court, which is stiff and direct. This is also the reason why the Donglin Party's counterattack is becoming more and more fierce.

If he changed another way, such as pretending to be confused and putting one and a half in, and without affecting his established plan, letting them come and go, and releasing his resentment and ambitions, perhaps it would not cause such a big disturbance, causing him from time to time and affecting his reform pace.

Zhu Xu nodded while thinking, and said, "Well, it's better to be scattered than to be blocked, it's rare to be confused..."

Concubine Liu sat next to Zhu Xu, listening to his soft voice, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'll leave the matter of choosing a concubine to me. I'll take a good look. I will definitely choose a good one for you before I die..."

As Concubine Liu was speaking, Huan'er came in from outside and saluted, "Empress Dowager, Concubine, Emperor, Lord Liu Hua, please see him."

Concubine Liu turned to look at Zhu Xu and smiled and said, "My younger brother hasn't come to see me for many years, and this time it's probably not to see me."

Zhu Xu also laughed. The Donglin Party made such a loud noise outside that there were many people coming to inform us, express loyalty and show their presence.

However, Liu Hua is really an exception. He is the younger brother of Concubine Liu and the son of Liu Yingjie. Not to mention Concubine Liu's status in the palace, just Liu Yingjie's legacy, ordinary things cannot involve him.

Liu Yingjie and Zhang Juzheng, especially Qi Jiguang, had an extraordinary relationship. He was Qi Jiguang's immediate superior. Qi Jiguang had strong support in suppressing bandits. Liu Yingjie was also an extraordinary person. He served as the governor of Ji Liao, the Minister of Works, and had the title of Prince Shao Guard, and had many military achievements.

Liu Hua's brother Liu Dai inherited the title of Liu Yingjie. Liu Hua has followed his father in countless battles since he was a child. He was in Liaodong two years ago and served as deputy general.

Liu Hua once wrote letters repeatedly and wanted to return to Liaodong, but was rejected by Zhu Xu. This time, it was mostly because Sun Chengzong was about to return to Beijing. He knew that Zhu Xu intended to send Sun Chengzong to continue to supervise Liaodong and wanted to go with him.

They are all their own family, and Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't mind letting Liu Hua wait for a while. She looked at Zhu Xu and said with a sad look on her face, "Your Majesty, it's not a good thing for the outer court to make such a fuss. You should not always be frozen if you should give in."

She grew up watching Zhu Xu and knew his temper.

Zhu Xu nodded, took a secret breath, and smiled, "I know, I will handle it."

Seeing that what he said was almost done, Concubine Liu said, "Hey, when people get old, they are prone to sleep. They are almost gone, and I should go back to sleep..."

When Zhu Xu and Empress Dowager Zhang saw it, they quickly stood up and wanted to accompany Concubine Liu back to the palace.

Concubine Liu waved her hand, took Empress Zhang's hand and smiled, "Okay, Master, you are busy with yours, just have her to accompany me."

Zhu Xu understood what Concubine Liu meant, smiled and took a few steps with her, and then stopped.

Cao Huachun followed him with a solemn expression. He looked at Zhu Xu with some worry. Even the concubine and the empress dowager were moved. The pressure was not a little bit.

Zhu Xu returned to Jingyang Palace, stood in front of the steps, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back, and his heart was naturally heavy.

The power of the Donglin Party is not only manifested in the court, but has penetrated into all aspects over the past decades, whether in military and political affairs, inside and outside the capital, or even outside the pass, and it will be daunting to think about it.

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't say anything, Cao Huachun took a step forward carefully and whispered: "Master, it's still time to change his plan now,"

"Need not!"

Zhu Xu was not Song Shenzong. He looked at the sky firmly and said lightly: "The plan is still the same. Liu Hua came at the right time, Xuan."

Cao Huachun hesitated for a while and turned to Xuan Liu Hua.
