Outside Jingyang Palace.

Bumubutai and Hai Lanzhu waited for half an hour, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty still had no time to summon them, which made both of them feel gloomy and uncomfortable.

"Two envoys, the emperor and you are discussing matters. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you today, so please go back." An insurgent came out of the imperial study room and stood in front of the door and said to the two.

Bumubutai frowned slightly, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the inner prisoner, saying, "Father-in-law, this is my handwritten letter from my khan. Please give it to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Hai Lanzhu was stunned and quickly took out a letter saying, "This is my handwritten letter from Korqin Khan."

The inner surveillance glanced at it and took it over and said, "Please go back, two people, the palace is very strict, don't walk around at will."

Bumu Butai bowed his body and then left.

There is an internal prisoner on the side and the palace maids are accompanying him.

In the imperial study room.

Zhu Xu was looking at the memorial from Wei Zhongxian and said, "If there is a hidden flow in the northern Zhili area, it will be calm and there will be a big movement."

Zhu Xu smiled, put it aside, and continued to look at the memoir.

This is a memorial by Yun. The general of Nan, Zuo Liangyu, said that Annan had the intention of invading the north. I hope the court would like to grant permission to Yun. Nan's power to "decide after the opportunity".

Zhu Xu looked at this memoir and squinted his eyes. Unlike later generations, Yunnan is a huge area and a complex population. He is stationed with more than 100,000 troops, facing the complex situation in Southeast Asia.

He pondered, Zuo Liangyu was the kind of person who needed to be tied with a rope. Once the rope was removed, no one knew what could be done.

His fingers tapped on the table, and a ray of cold light burst into Zhu Xu's eyes, and he thought a lot.

Take out the map from under the table, spread it on the table, and look carefully.

Annan, Laos, Myanmar, especially looking at the southernmost part of Yunnan, it seems not far from India and the Ocean!

Zhu Xu thought silently for a while. Dorgon's cavalry should be coming soon, and Yang Sichang was probably not far away. With Yang Sichang's control, Zuo Liangyu should not be able to turn the world.

"Transfer the order," Zhu Xu still stared at the map and said, "Yang Sichang was the Minister of War to control Yun. The troops in the south will decide on all the battle situations. Zuo Liangyu and others will obey orders and no mistakes will be made!"

"After the order." Liu Shimin responded.

Zhu Xu's fingers were still scratching, and he murmured in his heart, "If we can open up India and the United States from here, we can bypass Maliu.A, build roads, immigrate, build army, naval base, and sea trade city..."

At this time, an intern supervisor came in, handed the two letters to Cao Huachun, and quietly retreated again after whispering a few words.

Cao Huachun made a brief inspection and stepped forward and said, "Emperor, Bumubutai, and Hailanzhu presented a handwritten letter from Huang Taiji and Badali."

Zhu Xu muttered, turned his head to look at him, then turned his head and said, "Let it go, I'll see later."

Cao Huachun stepped forward, put down the letter, and returned.

Zhu Xu stared at the map and thought carefully.

If you can cross the Southeast Peninsula and build a road from Yunnan to India and Ocean, garrison troops and immigrate along the route, that would be a very wonderful thing.

Zhu Xu clenched his fists and knocked hard on it, breathing a deep breath, saying, "Transfer the order to the Military Weapon Bureau, and then transfer one hundred cannons to Yun Nan, and you need the best one!"

"Abide by the order." Cao Huachun said.

Liu Shimin, who was standing beside him, felt a little moved when he heard this and said, "Emperor, Minister Xu of the Ministry of Works made an appointment to bring people to the palace to meet tomorrow."

Zhu Xu nodded indifferently and said, "Well, let's see the time tomorrow." He was completely unsure of the time now. He didn't know when he would be delayed by something, and there was no way to reserve time for Xu Guangqi accurately.

Liu Shimin agreed, he couldn't let Xu Guangqi wait, and he needed to arrange his time as he could.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while before putting away the map, turned his eyes to the two letters on the table, and took one casually.

I looked at it and found that it was Badali, the Khan of Korqin, whose title was "Tuzetu", Oba's eldest son and Hai Lanzhu's cousin.

Korqin was besieged by Lin Dankhan and almost destroyed. Nurhaci sent Mangurtai to rescue him, so the two tribes established a covenant and became the "brothers in the hands of the army". Later, Oba did not want to be controlled by the Later Jin Dynasty and wanted to get rid of it. As a result, Huang Taiji came to Chen. Yang apologized, and Korqin became a subordinate of the Later Jin Dynasty and was firmly controlled.

Zhu Xu flipped up and down, and the ordinary envelope had a faint fragrance of lotus.

"Is this a beauty trick?"

Suddenly, Zhu Xu whispered, and he thought of some legends in history. I am afraid that Huang Taiji had never seen this Hai Lanzhu.

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin both turned to look at Zhu Xu, looking thoughtful.

Zhu Xu just muttered, opened the envelope and took out the letter.

I don’t know if this is Badali’s handwriting, and his beautiful regular script made Zhu Xu a little jealous.

After glanced over at a glance, Zhu Xu smiled secretly.

Badali said, "Respect the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the country that made brothers will not attack." He also said, "The loyal and brave king is confused, and the court will not attack."

Zhu Xu put down the letter, looking a little dazed.

Badali's "accusation" makes sense. When the Ming Dynasty used Dorgon to instigate Duoduo, Shuotou and others to lead troops to flee, and then captured Chen. Yang, all of a sudden, although for the Ming Dynasty, everything was natural and there was nothing to say.

But strictly speaking, Huang Taiji has surrendered and is the loyal and brave king enthroned by the Ming Dynasty. He cannot be attacked for no reason. What's more, the court has no explanation for that confrontation until now, and it is untenable in terms of "big righteousness".

Zhu Xu couldn't help laughing again as he thought about it. First, he had indeed forgotten this matter, and the whole Ming Dynasty had forgotten it. Even if someone knew that he would not bring up a major event like the court's resumption of Shenyang and Yang. Second, Huang Taiji actually came to reason with him.

"It's going to be made up for it." Zhu Xu said to himself, "Send someone to tell the cabinet that it will defeat the Shenyang process, reason, Dayi, etc. to write a report on the court. It must be sufficiently justified and not give anyone a handle."

Liu Shimin didn't know what Badali wrote, so he said sideways: "Yes."

Zhu Xu put down Badali's letter and picked up Huang Taiji's one. Zhu Xu almost subconsciously smelled the smell on the letter.

"A little like a chrysanthemum..."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. This should be Bumubutai's body fragrance. He looked back and forth and opened the letter.

Huang Taiji did not mention Shen Yang, and in his sentence he hoped to "return to the Ming Dynasty", he was willing to "strike rebellion" for the Ming Dynasty, etc. He spoke sincerely, neither humble nor arrogant.

After reading it, Zhu Xu read it again and then frowned.

Huang Taiji's letter actually has nothing to say, just like a letter between relatives, full of concern for his well-being, but in fact it is polite and has no effect except maintaining feelings.

But the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty were not relatives, and they had no feelings for each other!

Zhu Xu took both letters and read them carefully several times, but he still couldn't figure out what was hidden in them.

Zhu Xu pondered for a while and said, "Cross two copies and send them to the cabinet and the Ministry of War to see if there is anything hidden in it."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded and came over to take the letter.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and was about to continue reading the memorial, saying casually, "How is Chen Qiyu?"

Liu Shimin's expression moved and turned around and said, "Go back to the emperor, Lord Chen raised 800 taels before, and then raised nearly 10,000 taels from Duke Taikang, Duke British and others, but he had no other gains. He had ordered the convening of the prefectures and magistrates from Northern Zhili to Beijing, as if he wanted to forcibly levy them."

Zhu Xu paused and said with a smile: "It's not enough to stimulate. In a few days, let the cabinet find an opportunity to publish a newspaper, denounce this matter, and give Chen Qiyu and the gentry a little pressure."

"Abide by the order." Liu Shimin said.

Zhu Xu continued to look at the memorial book, with a calm expression.

He knew very well that the most important thing at the moment was political reform, which was the last step, established in a way that all officials in the world recognized it!

At the same time, the Governor's Office.

"Is this commercial tax too low? If the people are pursuing profits, who will farm and where will the food come from?"

"I don't agree with this. The people in the world wanted to be officials, so why are there still people farming?"

"You are quibbling. The imperial examination is a single-plank bridge. How can everyone become an official?"

"Then it is so easy to do business? If it is easy, why would there be so many poor people in the world?"

“Bad talk…”

"The two of you calm down, let's just talk about the matter, don't argue..."

"I just think that the commercial tax is too low and it must be increased!"

"Bah! I respect you as an old man from the Wanli Dynasty, who gave you three points of face! Since Xuanzong, how much commercial tax has been, and the national treasury has been recorded? The clamor is too low now, why don't you say it before?..."

"The concubine's son is not enough for me..."

"Stop relying on your old age..."

"Two adults, two adults, don't do it..."
