Chen Qiyu didn't care when he received the order and arranged for someone to do it.

The imperial court has experienced several donations in the past, and was chaired by the Ministry of Revenue. Each time it was more than one million taels. Although Shuntian Mansion was a little short, as long as it was charged hundreds of thousands taels, the emperor would not say anything when he came to the cabinet.

Chen Qiyu's work focus was shifting to the "gentry's tax payment", preparing strategies, summoning local prefects, etc., so busy that he was not touching the ground.

The cabinet, the six ministers and others were also in a state of great difficulty. When political reform entered the most critical moment, all parties were tug-of-war, and a little thing could be discussed for a long time. Especially the revision and improvement of the Ming Dynasty law involved the "parent law" and "king law", and they were particularly careful in their expressions.

Then there were governors and governors from all over the country who were transferred to the office, and they all wanted to go to the prosperous south. Few people were willing to go to the remote southwest.

Others who can argue without knowing themselves have to work hard to reconcile and reach a consensus in order to complete the political reform as soon as possible.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and the six ministers were both nervous and tried hard to speed up, for fear that Zhu Xu would suddenly have a big trouble at this time.

Cining Palace.

Xiao Yongning held the stool with his hands and his mouth flattened, standing not far from the dining table, looking at the people on the dining table with a pitiful look on his face.

Zhu Xu was having fun eating. She hadn't been here for a long time, but the taste still didn't change.

Empress Dowager Zhang showed a cold look, looked at Zhu Xu and smiled and said, "Eat more, I heard that you are very busy recently, so you should pay attention to your health..."

"Well, I know, don't worry, sister-in-law." Zhu Xu said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded slightly, glanced at Li Jieyu, and said nothing.

Li Jieyu suddenly felt very stressed. Empress Dowager Zhang had talked about the royal heir privately before, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Xu quietly.

Zhu Xu didn't care about these things. It was rare to come once, so he must have a good time.

Xiao Yongning pursed his little mouth, his big eyes were pitiful. After a while, he said crisply, "Uncle Emperor, Li Cairen..."

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Zhang turned her head and shouted.

The little girl trembled and didn't dare to make a sound. Her big eyes blinked, and tears were about to fall down soon.

Empress Dowager Zhang ignored it and picked up the chopsticks.

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. The little girl didn't know what mistake she made again. She was such a troublemaker.

After taking a few bites, Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that someone has moved into the palace. Do I want to see you?"

There is no queen in the harem, and Empress Dowager Zhang is the master.

Zhu Xu thought of Bumubutai's methods and shook his head and said, "Don't go see the emperor's sister-in-law, no one in the palace is allowed to see him. I will personally assign the palace maids, the inner supervisor, and they cannot walk around at will!"

Empress Dowager Zhang heard the smell and said with concern: "They are Jiannu's people. Will there be troubles in the palace like this?"

Zhu Xu looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, this palace belongs to me, no one can make a fuss."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded gently. The palace has been cleaned up repeatedly over the years, and those dirty things and even corners have been cleared. The current palace can be said to be quite peaceful and clean.

Zhu Xu secretly calculated the time and observed Empress Dowager Zhang's face. After a while, he said, "Sister-in-law, it's almost done. Yongning is still a child. It's not good for her to be in good health after a long time."

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, obviously still being annoyed. She looked at Zhu Xu, suppressed her anger, and said to Xiao Yongning coldly: "Let go, go back to the room, you won't be allowed to eat tonight."

After the little guy put down the stool, he held his mouth and saluted Zhu Xu and the other two, then turned around and walked towards his room.

This move is so good that he pretends to be pitiful.

'This girl is amazing...' Zhu Xu sighed in his heart and silently sympathized with the emperor's sister-in-law.

Li Jieyu kept watching quietly, wondering, according to Empress Dowager Zhang's cultivation, how could he teach such a princess?

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhu Xu, Yongning, but she has the shadow of the emperor?

Zhu Xu seemed to feel the chill in Li Jieyu's eyes, and coughed and continued to eat. His books were hidden like Li Zhi's.

Zhu Xu was having a meal in Cining Palace and lived in Bumubutai, a side palace. Hai Lanzhu was also discussing quietly.

Hai Lanzhu had changed her clothes and put down her hair bun. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of affection, and her pretty face was as charming as water, making her more charming and seductive.

Bumubutai was a rational and cold beauty. She sat on the edge of the bed, frowned and said softly: "Sister, there are only two reasons why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not see us. One was to show off his might and the other was that something happened to them. Judging from the atmosphere in this palace, I am afraid that something happened to them."

Hai Lanzhu was not very interested in these things, but she liked the prosperous, clean streets, crowds, dazzling array of goods, towering palaces, etc. She listened to her sister's words, and smiled with a breeze blowing on the willows and said, "Sister, we are just passing messages, so don't think too much..."

Bumubutai looked at Hai Lanzhu and sighed softly. Although Hai Lanzhu was forcibly stuffed in, it seems that she should be extremely happy to leave Korqin.

Hai Lanzhu looked at the room and couldn't help but think that if she could live here forever, she would be willing to go back.

After waiting for a while, she saw Bumubutai frowning and said, finally woke up and said softly: "I heard that you Khan arranged people in the Ming people's capital. If you are worried, should you go and see what the situation is?"

Bumubutai's face changed slightly. He quickly covered Hai Lanzhu's mouth, looked around carefully, and then whispered: "Sister, don't tell anyone about this!"

Hai Lanzhu blinked and nodded slightly.

Bumubutai put down his hand and thought, "Look at it tomorrow. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has no reason not to see us, at most tomorrow."

Hai Lanzhu was convinced by this sister and nodded slightly.

All the officials in the capital have entered an unprecedented state.

Every yamen is so busy that it is too busy to communicate, urging one layer after another, and the pressure is endless.

Among them, the Governor General is the busiest, involving revisions, improving the laws of the Ming Dynasty, formulating the rules and regulations of various yamen, as well as the powers and statutes of local governors, governors, etc., which are complicated and every detail must be taken care of. More than 100 people still feel that they are not enough staff, and working overtime is still tiring.

The court's proposals have been repeated. The governors of various provinces, the groups divided by war zones, are also busy and anxious. The local area constantly sends messages to ask for a return as soon as possible. The government affairs are piled up and delayed for too long.

The next day, Zhu Xu went to visit Fu Changzong and returned to the palace. He sat in the imperial study room and looked at the brief memorials compiled by Si Li Supervisor.

The gentry's opposition became louder and louder, and different voices appeared within the court. Two ministers openly expressed the idea of ​​"looking for the court to think twice". Although they quickly took it back, it was like opening a gap. More and more officials in the court began to speak and expressed their opposition.

The court only imposed a ban on high-level officials, but no other officials stopped it. It was like a flood broke the dam, and more and more people in the capital were opposed. Whether they were already considered gentry or perhaps those who could become gentry, they were strongly opposed, and their voices shook the capital.

Zhu Xu was too lazy to flip through it as he flipped through it. He threw all these aside and picked up the memoirs from all over the place to read it.

There are two things that cannot be separated from the memorials in various places: "disaster situation" and "civilian chaos", which are derived from disaster relief and suppression.

Zhu Xu was mostly dumped by the cabinet for disasters, and he just watched them in a general way and occasionally made a draft.

Suddenly, Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at the songbook in his hand, with a congestion on his face.

This is Qin Liangyu's memorial, saying that there are similarities and differences among the bandits in Shaanxi and Western China.

The bandits who were originally just infantrymen and would run away when they saw officers and soldiers, now there are small groups of cavalry, and two horses. They have made great progress in the long-distance harassment and tactics. They are no longer rushing and collapsed like mountains of mobs. It is obvious that there are talents among the bandits who are valued.

Moreover, the White Lotus Sect also entered Shaanxi and western China, and there were signs of rebellion.

Zhu Xu sighed silently. He sent all the bandit leader who surrendered to Yun Nan, except for those who were killed. It was time for Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others to emerge.

These two men were different from the bandits at the beginning. They were all thinking about food, and Li Zicheng and others were all interested in occupying the mountains and becoming kings.

In addition, Qin Liangyu also stated that several "Heavenly Kings" appeared, and their power expanded very quickly. After being suppressed by the bullet, they were destroyed and died. The official army destroyed this wave, and not long after another wave appeared on the other side, with a prairie fire.

"The wildfire cannot be burned, and the spring breeze will grow again..."

Zhu Xu's expression moved, and he could only say this.

There was no real rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty. Whether it was Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, they were all bandits and had no mind and ability to help the world. From their journey, it can be seen that although they later changed to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and "not paying food", there was no real and feasible program, but some deceptive and inciting remarks.

When Li Zicheng arrived in Beijing, he did not have the atmosphere of the new emperor at all. He was more like a big bandit entering the city, venting his emotions wantonly, slaughtering and robbing wildly, and without any pacifying actions. He did not do anything that the new emperor should do!

The most terrifying thing is that the bully and domineering women also pushed Wu Sangui, who was about to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!

In Zhu Xu's opinion, China was not destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, but the culprit was these bandits!

If Li Zicheng had the mind of Zhu Yuanzhang, accepted Wu Sangui, occupied Tatars, quelled chaos internally, the small glaciers had basically passed, and people's livelihood would be restored soon, and it would be difficult to work together to create another China!

Unfortunately, Li Zicheng is not Zhu Yuanzhang, he does not have the courage to be honest!

Zhu Xu shook his head silently. There are already 400,000 troops in the southwest, and more and more will be moved out. I believe that the control will be stronger and there is no need to worry too much.

Zhu Xu added another one million taels to the southwest disaster relief, handed the memorial to Liu Shimin, asking him to send it out first.

An intern supervisor came in through the gate and said, "I heard from the Emperor, the envoy of Jiannu Bumubutai, and the envoy of Korqin Hai Lanzhu, and the envoy of Korqin, asked for a visit."

Zhu Xu was stunned. He forgot the two of them, and then waved his hand and said, "Well, I understand, I won't see you for the time being."

Cao Huachun, who was next to him, turned sideways and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't see you yesterday, and I won't see you again today, which is a bit contrary to etiquette."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "In the face of national interests, everything is false."

Cao Huachun frowned. The emperor's words were always so simple and crude, and it was hard to refute.

The internal supervisor responded and retreated.

Just as Cao Huachun was about to retreat, an insurgent came in through the side door and whispered in his ear. Cao Huachun waved his back with a constant expression and turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, Zhang I will continue to Zhang Pavilion Master... It's gone."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly. Although Zhang Woxu in history was a little unbearable, he did some things here, and he was considered his old man and could not be treated harshly.

Zhu Xu pondered for a while and said, "Transfer the imperial edict to the cabinet, add the title, and the posthumous title specifications are higher. Give some rewards to the Zhang family and tell the Zhang family that I will personally pay tribute to the funeral."

"Abide by the order." Cao Huachun said.

Zhang I continued to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites for many years, but he was still a little clear-headed. He suddenly passed away, causing a big and small shock in the capital.

This vibration did not affect Chen Qiyu. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the palace chief Chen Suwen in front of him.

Chen Suwen's expression was tight and he lowered his head, looking ashamed.

His words just now echoed in Chen Qiyu's mind: 'Sir, the official contacted dozens of squires and got silver...800 taels!'

"Eight hundred taels..."

Chen Qiyu's mouth twitched, how did he speak?
