Zhu Xu left, and Princess Xin was still kneeling on the ground and sobbed.

She understood that the emperor did not let King Xin go, and the fate of the King Xin’s mansion was unpredictable!

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't bear it, so she walked over and pulled her up, comforting her: "The emperor has no other intentions, don't think too much."

The makeup of Princess Zhou was exhausted when she cried, but Empress Dowager Zhang was not convinced at all.

The old concubine stood up, waved her hand in vain, and said, "Okay, go back, let King Xin stay so hard, don't make the emperor angry anymore." She was secretly angry at Princess Xin's behavior today. No one would be happy with such sudden pressure, let alone the emperor!

Princess Xin didn't know what to say, so she could only keep crying.

Empress Dowager Zhang comforted her for a while and then went to see those destined wives, so that people would never see them.

Zhu Xu left Renshou Palace and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

King Xin may think that now is an opportunity, but for Zhu Xu, this is not an opportunity for anyone. They need to strongly control the government and cannot tolerate anyone's challenge!

This unprecedented disaster has just begun and will be over ten years before it will end. The most terrible period is far from coming.

Cao Huachun followed him neither far nor near. Although he was standing outside, he could hear clearly the words of the princess.

'The emperor should feel uncomfortable...' Cao Huachun sighed secretly. King Xin was the emperor's brother after all. The two seemed to have the same goals, but their ideas and methods were completely different. They could not be compatible with each other.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Shen has urgent matters to ask for your visit."

Liu Shimin hurried over from not far away and said to Zhu Xu.

It would be strange if there was nothing at this time. Zhu Xu put aside Zhu Youjian's affairs, nodded slightly, and accelerated his pace toward Jingyang Palace.

"Emperor." As soon as Zhu Xu entered the imperial study, Shen Yongmao raised his hand with a anxious look on his face.

Zhu Xu frowned and sat down and said, "What happened?"

Shen Yongmao looked at Zhu Xu's face and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, nothing happened. It was the envoy sent by the Jiannu thief chief. He has arrived outside the Tumu Fort and hopes to come to the capital to meet the saint."

"messenger?"

Zhu Xu showed interest on his face and said with a smile: "He still dares to send an envoy, who was the one who sent this time?"

Shen Yongmao's face was unconsciously awkward. The emperor killed the envoys too many times, which was completely incompatible with the rule of "not killing the envoys". He said: "The emperor is Huang Taiji's concubine and his four sons."

"Part of the concubine? Bumubutai?" Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. When dealing with Huang Taiji, Zhu Xu had a detailed investigation. He was also very Qin Chu, and he was a legendary figure and the queen of Xiaozhuang in later generations!

Shen Yongmao said, "Yes, there are also the envoy of Korqin, Hai Lanzhu and Huang Taiji's four sons accompanying him. Huang Taiji's eldest son was killed in Liaodong, and the rest died young. These four sons are equivalent to the eldest son."

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "They were afraid of being killed by me. They didn't even dare to send an important person, but they actually sent a woman..."

Shen Yongmao was not as optimistic as the emperor. He was not as good as the emperor's case. He was not allowed to do so and was detrimental to the majesty. He persuaded him in disguise: "Your Majesty, should you let Tumu Fort refuse them from entering the pass? Let them send envoys again and ensure that they can go back."

Zhu Xu couldn't hear what Shen Yongmao meant, and smiled again, tapping his fingers on the table, and slowly pondering in his heart.

Huang Taiji was a very tolerant person. In the era of the Four Beals, he did not speak out or reveal his name. He was at the end, and people and animals were harmless. But he was the one who inherited Nurhaci ascended the Khan throne. He removed the other three Beals from the power to the deprived power, the imprisonment of the deprived power, and the imprisonment of the deprived power, and the ascended the throne to Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty!

This is a very terrifying person, Zhu Xu must score 12 points to deal with it!

The Ming Dynasty in Liaodong has stood firm. As long as the sun is not lost, Jiannu will have no chance to recover!

So what was Huang Taiji's idea? Even Bumubutai and Hai Lanzhu were sent here.

Shen Yongmao saw Zhu Xu thinking, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the grassland has been drought recently, and many places with rich water and grass have dried up. This time, I should be asking for peace."

"Summon?"

Zhu Xu was stunned, shook his head and said, "Huang Taiji suffered such a big loss and wouldn't make peace so easily. I inform Tumubao and let them enter the pass. I also want to see what Huang Taiji is planning."

There was no objection to this, Shen Yongmao responded and then said: "Prince, the situation in the north has changed a lot recently. Many tribes have alliances with Korchin, and even Chahar of Lin Danhan, have fled people."

Zhu Xu's eyes opened, and he was also helpless.

Lin Danhan was obviously an A Dou who could not help him. He had a strong foundation, but he was defeated in his hands within a few years. Now, even with the support of the Ming Dynasty, he could not even control his own tribe. It was a dream to expect him to check and balance Korqin and Huang Taiji!

Zhu Xu used his fingers to tap the tabletop, and asked, "What countermeasures do the Ministry of War?"

Shen Yongmao looked up at Zhu Xu and said in a deep voice with a firm expression: "Your Majesty, I believe that we should vigorously support Mongolian tribes, not limit Chahar, let them fight against each other, while tiger and wolf guards 'shoulder' suppress all tribes to maintain balance!"

Zhu Xu was silent and tapped his fingers faster.

The Ming Dynasty now had more than one million troops. Maintaining such a large army, the expenses were like flowing water. In addition, it had to continuously transfusion blood to the southwest. For the court officials, there were very many taxes and silver and grain storage, and the foundation was solid. But for Zhu Xu, it was still too little, and it was far from safe enough to survive the "little glacier" that had been passed through for more than ten years.

So he has always saved as much as possible and never spent a little more.

If you want to fully support the Mongolian tribes, it will not cost a little bit. The most important thing is that Zhu Xu has no confidence in how effective this support is. If the resources you support fall into Korqin and Huang Taiji's hands, then he will become a big joke.

But Meng and Gu couldn't ignore it. Let Huang Taiji and Korqin annex the various tribes. That would definitely be a major concern for the Ming Dynasty, and this great danger would surpass the Later Jin Dynasty in history!

"Is there any other way?" Zhu Xu said.

Shen Yongmao knew that the emperor did not agree with it. His expression calmed for a while and said, "Emperor, the Ministry of War has done many deductions. Korqin and Huang Taiji are too powerful. Even Chahar is strong, but he would not be their opponent at the beginning. Now Jiannu and Korqin have just joined forces, so it is still time to curb. I think this is the best way at present!"

Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, I understand, I will think about it again. You can let Bumubutai enter the pass first, and I will talk about it when I see them."

Shen Yongmao sighed in his heart. The emperor wanted to consider it, but obviously disagree. He had to say: "Yes. And that's right, the emperor has other ideas about the emperor going south, who should lead the troops, dispatch the troops, and whether officials from all over the country should welcome him, etc.?"

Zhu Xu sat upright, his eyes were smug, and after a while, he said, "The number of people is not yet determined, but the six ministers will not move, the cabinet will not move, and the others will be at will. I will take a look at the time. I will take two thousand imperial guards and one thousand Shenji camp, and I will not bring the others. No localities are allowed to welcome them, and the news cannot be leaked. I will take a look everywhere."

"After the order." Shen Yongmaodao.

Zhu Xu still remembers the northern grasslands in his heart. This is his heart disease. If it cannot be removed early, as the disaster worsens, the Ming Dynasty will become weaker and more crazy on the grasslands, which is very unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty!

"I have to find another way..." Zhu Xu felt heavy in his heart.

At the same time, Bumubutai and his group were less than a mile away from Tumu Fort and looked at them from a distance.

Bumubutai and her sister Hai Lanzhu sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the south, both of them looked complicated.

Huang Taiji chose Bumubutai after careful consideration, while Hai Lanzhu was secretly decided by his brother. A beautiful widow stayed in the clan and caused too much trouble.

Beside them, there was a boy of seven or eight years old, with a restrained expression and a fearful look on his eyes.

There were also ten guards, two Jiannu and eight Korqin. They stood on both sides of the carriage and looked at Tumu Fort with different expressions.

There was smoke and dust rolling, and the shouts of killing were boiling, and flags could be seen flying and cavalry could be shuttled.

Hai Lanzhu's face was fair and her eyes were like waves, not like a Mongolian. The ancients seemed to be a weak woman from the Jiangnan water town, looking at the south with a worried face. Recently, what she heard was how Ming people killed people like me, which was unreasonable. She was so panicked that she couldn't help but hold the hand of her sister beside her and said, "Sister, are we really going to the southern people's sweat tent?"

Hai Lanzhu is 28 years old this year and Bumu Butai is 25 years old. Both are charming young women, each with their own unique styles.

Bumubutai was calm and smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'm here, it's okay."

Hai Lanzhu was a little relieved. Her ex-husband often abused her, which made her very timid. She took Bumubutai's hand and nodded softly.

Although Bumubutai said this, he was very worried. The Ming Dynasty was preparing for war and training hard. Such a huge country, population and food were not comparable to them. Can they return to Shenyang as the Khan said?

Not long after, a team of cavalry rushed over to welcome them into the pass.

Hai Lanzhu held Bumubutai's arm tightly. The closer she got to the Great Wall, the more uneasy she felt.

Bumubutai learned enough of the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and talked with the cavalry captain in a straightforward manner, and then escorted him into the pass.

The seven or eight-year-old boy was riding a horse and following the carriage, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

He is Huang Taiji's fourth son, Ye Bushu, and there is only one younger brother under him. Haoge is dead, so he can only be the proton. Although he is young, he knows that this time he goes to the south, he will probably go but never return, so he is so scared.

The group slowly marched towards the Tumu Fort.

Princess Xin's head was bandaged and sent back to Princes Xin's mansion by Empress Dowager Zhang.

Princess Xin came to the hall. Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly as soon as he saw it. He stepped forward and said carelessly: "Is it okay?"

Princess Zhou knelt on the ground all over and said sadly: "I am stupid and useless, and I have not helped the prince!"

Zhu Youjian turned his expression pale, helped her up, and sighed softly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's my disagreement with the emperor."

Princess Zhou stood up with tears in her eyes. She felt that the end of their faith in the royal palace was about to come.

Zhu Youjian is a stereotyped person, imitating his ancestors everywhere. At this moment, he was rare gentle. He wiped the princess' face and smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. We just have different ideas about reviving the Ming Dynasty. We are not as good as killing me, so don't worry."

Princess Zhou was still very scared, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, and suddenly said, "By the way, the emperor guessed that someone taught the prince and asked the prince to send the man away."

Zhu Youjian's face froze slightly, and he immediately said, "Well, the master has left."

Princess Xin felt a little lighter. She could feel that the harem was not very fond of her, and the life of the Prince of Xin would be even more difficult in the future.

The newspapers of the six ministries are still in trial operation, and the newspapers renamed "Jing Zheng Chaobao". The next day, the articles of Fu Changzong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue were published.

It explained the benefits of the Ministry of Revenue to separate tax rights, including household registration, land mu and other new systems. Finally, the talk changed and mentioned the "gentry's food collection". He said that the governors from all over the country proposed to restore the Taizu system, but the court repeatedly discussed and decided to "repay the fire and waste the public" to reduce the burden on the world.

Although there have been such rumors in the capital, the court newspapers were convinced that this was the first time that it naturally caused a "controversy" in the capital.

"Calling taxes from gentry is ridiculous, and it has never happened in ancient times!" A middle-aged man patted the newspaper in anger. His face was full of dissatisfaction and his eyes were full of anger.

A young man with a pale face and obviously excessive wine and color followed with bloodshot eyes and said coldly, "Yes, if a gentry collects food, what is the difference between it and the general public?"

"Isn't it just to not pay food and not to do that cheap thing?"

"Do you know? Now the whole capital is talking about this..."

"Which governor proposed by the provincial governor, I will confront him in person!"

"Didn't you see it? They are talking about the 'Taizu system'. What are you confronting?"

"I..."

"This has been more than two hundred years. How can we talk about the 'ancestral system' again? When we adapt to the times, how can we carve a boat and ask for a sword!"
