Zhu Youjian led the group of people and stepped forward slowly, stood not far away, raised his hands together, bowed down, and said loudly, "I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor!"

It is hard to say that it is tsunami and tsunami, but it has a different momentum.

The torches were beating and burning desperately, and the heavy snow was still floating, and every petal that set off was dazzling.

This was Zhu Xu's second profound feeling of being an emperor, and all officials surrendered and worshiped with conscientious hearts.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

Suddenly, the imperial guards holding torches around them knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Cao Huachun and others, who were standing beside Zhu Xu, also raised their hands and bowed one after another.

In the huge front yard, everyone was bowing, and the snowflakes were constantly floating and changing.

Zhu Xu felt a sense of passion in his heart. He held his hands behind his back, glanced at everyone and shouted: "Everyone is calm!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed again and then stood up.

Everyone can feel that from this moment on, something seems to be different.

"Come in!"

Zhu Xu suppressed the surging in his heart and said.

Everyone followed Zhu Xu into the lobby, surrounded by warmers, and the lobby was much warmer.

A group of people sat down one after another, waited for tea, and after a simple and polite manner, King Ping looked around in a blink of an eye and said to Zhu Xu: "Emperor, quelling the rebellion in Liaodong is a great achievement for generations. I requested an order to open an ancestral temple to worship the imperial tomb at the end of the year!"

As soon as King Ping spoke, King Jing immediately followed and said in a deep voice: "The dangers in Liaodong have been around for nearly a hundred years. We should comfort our ancestors and ministers, and I will discuss them!"

This is obvious flattery and praises the emperor. No matter where anyone opposes it, they take it for granted. All the ministers including Zhu Youjian all agreed.

Zhu Xu also needs prestige now, nodded and said, "Yes, it's accurate."

King Ping flattered the first flattery and sat back with satisfaction. He had no ambitions, but just showed his presence and Bobodi's heart.

King Jing is an ambitious person, not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, and this prince was not so legitimate. After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he continued: "Emperor, my Ming Dynasty memorial service has always been complicated and disorderly. I believe that we should clarify the title of memorial service, the ritual process and the time, the severity and order."

Zhang Weixian and Xu Wenjue looked at each other, their faces calm and did not speak. King Jing's words clearly meant to highlight the sacrifices in the middle of the year to strengthen the emperor's achievements. In short, it was to further flatter him.

Zhu Xu glanced at him, then looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Brother, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a moment and said, "Emperor, I believe that King Jing's words are reasonable. It is not only the sacrifices of the court, but also the Ministry of Rites, all places and the countryside. Heaven and earth, ancestral temples, country, tombs, saints, ancestors, etc. should all have clear statements to tell the world and sacrifice them at the same time."

Zhu Xuheshou turned to King Jing and said, "This matter is discussed by the Supervisory Council and submitted a memorial to Wen Zhao Pavilion. If there are no flaws, the court will discuss and promulgate the world."

King Jing quickly stood up and said, "Abide by the order."

Zhu Xu also knew that he couldn't talk about anything serious today. Looking at everyone, he said in a deep voice: "The road is blocked with heavy snow. Sun Ge Lao and others will discuss going to sea and head north along Sancha He. You can go to Shenyang at noon tomorrow. Let's go to rest. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it later when you arrive in Shenyang."

It was a day and a night, and most of them were civil officials. The road was bumpy. If it weren't for the sake of seeing the emperor, they would probably have been unable to hold on. Everyone also stood up and followed the order. Shen Yongmao arranged for them to go back to their rooms to rest in turn.

But Zhu Youjian went there and did not leave, and kept sitting there without moving.

Zhu Xu was curious and looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Does the emperor have anything else to report?"

Zhu Youjian calmed down along the way. This time, the imperial court pacified Liaodong and his merits would be remembered by the emperor. Next year, the emperor will reach the age of power again. What else is necessary for him, the regent?

However, his expression remained unchanged. Looking at Zhu Xu, hesitated and said, "I heard that the emperor intends to transfer Fan Yiheng to Gan and Governor Su. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Fan Jingwen was a student of Ye Xianggao. Although he did not commit any evil deeds during the last Donglin Party clearance, he was ordered to resign. Fan Yiheng, the head of Shuntian Prefecture, successfully took office. Fan Yiheng was the prefect of Xiang and Yang before, and his resume and ability were highly praised by Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan and others. He also performed outstandingly in the Zhengyuan, and his governmental skills made Zhu Xu look at him with admiration.

Gansu has newly established and is in a remote and poor place. Zhu Xu needs capable people to stabilize the situation. Fan Yiheng is the first choice.

Zhu Xu didn't know what Zhu Youjian had to do, so he said without hiding it, "Well, I have this plan."

Zhu Youjian said: "Who is the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, can anyone choose the emperor in his heart?"

Zhu Xu's brows moved and he vaguely understood. Fan Jingwen was the clerk of Wenzhao Pavilion before and was recommended by Zhu Youjian, so Zhu Xu agreed to accept his position as the prefect of Shuntian.

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture manages the capital, which is the key point of the central government, and is often appointed by the emperor's confidant.

There are good negative examples. Before Emperor Taizong of Song was founded, the capital of the Song Dynasty was established. He was in power and powerful. After his brother Taizu Song died, he successfully ascended the throne to the emperor. At that time, Emperor Taizu's living second son was already twenty-five.

Anyway, this is a very taboo thing!

Zhu Xu couldn't understand Zhu Youjian now and said thoughtfully: "Who is the right brother?"

Zhu Youjian did not hesitate and said, "I recommend Xuan. Governor Chen Xinjia."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unmoved and he knew it.

Chen Xinjia was a Juren in the 36th year of Wanli. Note that he was a Juren, not a Jinshi!

In the second year of Chongzhen, he was recommended by Zhou Yingqiu and elected to the Ministry of Justice. He became a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. When Qin Liangyu was pacifying the four northern towns, he was valued by Qin Liangyu and presided over a series of foreign affairs, including repairing cities, supervising grain and pay, and even supervising the army!

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, he was valued by Sun Chuanting and sent the governor of Linghe, Li and Li, and made remarkable achievements and was praised by many court ministers.

Because Chen Xinjia was not from a Jinshi, his every move attracted much attention in the court and the public, and Zhu Xu was also very careful.

When Zhu Youjian recommended Chen Xinjia, Zhu Xu didn't know if Chen Xinjia was Zhu Youjian's person, but he didn't care and nodded, "Since he was recommended by the emperor, I'm sure."

Zhu Youjian breathed a long sigh in his heart when he heard this. Zhu Xu even agreed to this request, which means that there is no plan to abolish Wen Zhao Pavilion.

But after all, I still have to ask clearly. He thanked me and then pondered: "The emperor will be in charge of power next year. Regarding Wenzhao Pavilion, I wonder what the emperor has plans?"

Zhu Xu smiled secretly. This was the point he wanted to ask. He slapped his right hand and said without hesitation: "Although Wen Zhao Pavilion came according to the will of the late emperor, the emperor's brother has done his best over the years and has done a lot of things for me. I also know that there are many rumors outside, so the emperor doesn't need to take it seriously. When the emperor arrives in Shenyang tomorrow, I will send an order to move the emperor and the Wen Zhao Pavilion's cabinet members into the original cabinet, and the cabinet members will also add the title of Grand Secretary."

This is equivalent to turning Zhu Youjian, the short regent, into a real cabinet chief!

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, all six ministries and nine temples need to report all government affairs to the cabinet! Even the cabinet has great power to appoint officials!

Although Jingyang Palace may not be willing to truly delegate this power to the cabinet, this also shows that the emperor has no suspicion and does not want to abolish Wen Zhao Pavilion!

Zhu Youjian was a man who had great ambitions and wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty. Even though the emperor has pacified Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty was still far from being able to say it, so it was prosperous. Zhu Youjian still had many things to do!

Listening to Zhu Xu's words, Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, bowed and said, "I thank the emperor. I am willing to be the emperor, I am willing to devote myself to the Ming Dynasty, and I will die until I die!"

Zhu Xu never doubted this, and Xu supported him and said, "The emperor's brother is free from courtesy. You and my brother are all grandsons of Taizu. We should work together to revive the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian was excited and didn't know what to say, so he could only nod and said 'Yes'.

Zhu Xu said a few words to Zhu Youjian again as if comforting, and then he asked Zhu Youjian to rest.

Sitting in the lobby, Zhu Xu also breathed a long sigh. He could only say sorry to the emperor's brother.

"Emperor." Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli both came in, both looking worried.

Zhu Xu looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "So what's wrong?"

The two looked at each other, and Yuan Keli said, "Master, the sea water is frozen, the navy's ship is trapped on the shore and there is no way to go out to sea."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, the snow is not heavy now, and the carriage is difficult to move, and the horse should be OK."

Zhu Xu shook his head gently and said, "You guys have been here for a day and a night of carriages. They have not recovered yet and can't stand the bumps."

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you can take off the wheels and pull them on the snow with a few horses. The speed should not be much slower. Now let's go and set off. You should be able to reach Shenyang at noon tomorrow. But the guard may..."

Zhu Xu didn't care about the method. He could arrive at Shenyang on time at noon tomorrow, and the snow was everywhere, and Huang Taiji might not dare to come out.

He said, "Okay, you can prepare." It will take another seven or eight hours.

Seeing that Zhu Xu agreed, Sun Chengzong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand and said, "Abide by the order."

Yuan Keli was quite surprised and did not scold or scold him, so he agreed.

The adults who had not had a rest just now were called again and arranged in a carriage without wheels, and prepared to set off with bright lights.

Several large baskets rose in the direction of Guangning and Xipingbao, and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

Zhu Xu, King Ping, King Jing, Cao Huachun and others sat in the same carriage, and the others were crowded together. The groom rode a horse, four horses, and drove the carriage north quickly.

Inside the carriage, Cao Huachun said, "Your Majesty, let's go to Xiping Fort first, then change horses. After crossing the Liaohe River, Lord Xiong's people were waiting. After another fifty miles, they could reach Chenyang."

Zhu Xu nodded. The snow was not heavy, but it was difficult to move. It was not fast to pull four horses. This was also the reason why Sun Chengzong asked to set off immediately. He might miss the time if he was late.
