Zhu Xu poured a cup of tea again and lay on the soft collapse, still thinking freely.

Sun Chengzong and others had a very firm idea. It was not that easy to convince them, and he could not really bypass them. The current military system of the Ming Dynasty was basically completed by Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War. It would be a joke to bypass them if you bypass them!

They should also know this, so they were trying their best to hope that Zhu Xu could give up the idea of ​​unifying military power.

Zhu Xu held the tea lid in his right hand, fiddled with the tea water, and had a thought in his mind.

Military reform is of great importance and requires careful and extremely reliable people to promote it. From the Ming Dynasty, there is no one more suitable or reassuring than Sun Chengzong.

Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and others were still a little short of it, and Qin Liangyu was not convinced enough, so this matter had to fall on Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others.

After several years of trouble, it is very difficult for these people to stay with Zhu Xu and do things willingly. Zhu Xu doesn't want to scare them away, so there is a safe way.

'Things are slow, and things are complete...' Zhu Xu was secretly alert in his heart, and he should not be too hasty.

"I'll go back to the palace after writing it!"

Suddenly, Xiao Yongning jumped off the soft collapse and ran out the door quickly.

Zhu Xu looked at her back, her brows moved slightly, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Cao Huachun, let out a sound, and said that I want to form the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Cao Wenzhao will be the Grand Marshal and will control the world's army. By the way, we will also have to lay off the Ministry of War. How to exaggerate it..."

Cao Huachun was stunned, his expression slightly condensed, he stepped forward two steps, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, are you released from the Sili Supervisor or the cabinet?"

Zhu Xu looked at him and his heart moved slightly. The meanings of these two places were completely different. He thought about it and said, "Don't bother to scatter outside, don't let people discover it, the movement should be big."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded, and was about to turn around, he said again: "Emperor, the 18th Japanese envoys asked for a meeting. They were very firm in their attitude. They must meet the emperor, and they would ask for a meeting almost every one or two days."

Zhu Xu put the teacup on the table, sat upright, pinched his chin and said to himself, "That little guy Yongning must have sued me for complaining about it. I have to hurry up and go... I should keep a close eye on it."

"Yes." Cao Huachun knew what he wanted and turned around to make arrangements.

Zhu Xu stood up, stretched out his arm, smiled and left Qianqing Palace, went to Yuzao Palace, picked up Li Jieyu and his two children, and rushed to Cining Palace.

Recently, I have been scolding Xiao Yongning a lot. If the little guy talks nonsense, it will be difficult for Empress Dowager Zhang to explain.

Cao Huachun left the warm pavilion and turned to a room not far away.

Because Zhu Xu felt that the Sili Supervisor was too far away, he moved most of the responsibilities of the Sili Supervisor here, Liu Shimin was in charge of daily affairs and was now looking at some provisions.

"Ephesian Liu, are you busy?" Cao Huachun came in, changed his caution in front of Zhu Xu, and said with a smile. He worked with Liu Shimin for many years, but because of his sensitive identity, it seemed that his friendship was always close but not close, and not far.

Liu Shimin raised his head, adapted to the dim light, then stood up, and smiled and said, "Eunuch Cao, does the emperor need anything?"

Cao Huachun sat down on a chair not far away, pounded his legs, rubbed his shoulders, and said with relief: "No, the emperor and Empress Li went to Cining Palace for meals, I took the opportunity to get lazy."

Liu Shimin nodded, poured a cup of tea to him, and said, "Then sit for a while, I really want to ask for advice if I have something to do."

Cao Huachun took it, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said, "What's the matter?"

Liu Shimin sat opposite him and said, "The emperor will enter the cabinet tomorrow to jointly manage the government with the auxiliary ministers. How should the future affairs of the rank and supervision of the rank and supervision be arranged and changed?"

Cao Huachun laughed and said, "The Tongzheng Envoy Department has been incorporated into the cabinet, and the external information is smooth inside. The Silijian naturally has to follow the emperor. I have seen the rooms arranged by the cabinet. There are six, two of them are set up in the emperor's room, one is mine, the other is for you, and the other four are prepared for the Silijian..."

Liu Shimin naturally knew that he was asking about the details of handling affairs in the future. He held the teacup and looked at Cao Huachun without saying a word.

Cao Huachun shook his head and laughed again, saying, "You can follow me, you will know in a day."

Liu Shimin was stunned and then said thoughtfully: "You... are smarter than me."

Cao Huachun smiled slightly, looked around, and said, "What's the news about the Japanese envoy?"

Liu Shimin said: "What the emperor wants to ask? What do you want to know?"

Cao Huachun looked slightly solemn and said, "Their every move."

Liu Shimin stood up, searched in front of the bookshelf, took out a document, opened it and looked at it, and said, "The Japanese envoys had seventeen people, but in fact twenty-six people. They came to the shore of Tianjin Wei, and another wave pretended to be ordinary people and sneaked into the capital. They collected all kinds of information about our Ming Dynasty and bribed some officials, as if they wanted to know some deeper things, and they entered and exited quite frequently..."

Cao Huachun looked cold and said, "The emperor is right. These Japanese people are ill-intentioned and should not be underestimated!"

Liu Shimin also nodded and said, "The Jinyiwei sent a lot of information. It is said that if the chaos among the Kyushu islanders had not spread, the Japanese general would have attacked the Satsuma clan. Has the emperor ever had an order?"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "The emperor didn't say anything, it seemed that he was willing to let it develop and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Liu Shimin knew this, which was in line with their emperor's character, and said, "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention."

Cao Huachun glanced at the document in his hand and said, "Well, I will bring it with me when I go to the cabinet tomorrow. The emperor may have to read it."

Liu Shimin nodded and said, "By the way, the cabinet's actions in the capital have almost ended. Several of them have missed the net, including the Taoist priest Wang Ji found from somewhere. They disappeared completely and could not even find the Jinyiwei."

Cao Huachun frowned and said, "Just like the monk from the Prince Xin's Mansion back then? Come and go without a trace?"

Liu Shimin took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, the Jinyiwei is still looking for it. In addition, Nanzhili will probably receive the news later tomorrow, and it will also close the Internet, but Chiyu Trading Company..."

Cao Huachun understood what Liu Shimin meant and said, "I will report to the emperor that Nanzhili should also prepare early,"

This matter has passed, Liu Shimin said: "Well, what special requirements do you have for the candidates to go to the cabinet, the emperor, and Eunuch Cao?"

Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "I remember that after the emperor ascended the throne, he closed the castration house. There are no new internal prisoners now, right?"

Liu Shimin said: "There is no more, but there have been some shortage of personnel recently."

Cao Huachun seemed not to hear that 'not enough staff' and said, "The emperor has no special request. Let's do this. Our two disciples each require them to keep a distance from the people in the cabinet, not to get too close, and to do things at all, not to look at the others, no matter how you ask, don't listen, and don't say."

"Okay, I understand, I'll pick someone." Liu Shimin put down the teacup and said. After getting along, he knew Cao Huachun's style of conduct very well.

Cao Huachun also stood up. He couldn't wait for a long time. He had to arrange what had just happened and then rushed to Cining Palace to wait.

The sky was getting darker, and the river was at the northernmost end of the Grand Canal. Cao Wenzhao got off the boat and landed on the shore.

A personal guard behind him vented, "Sir, I finally got ashore. We almost had to drive ice along the way."

Cao Wenzhao did waste a lot of time along the way. Looking at the dark direction of the capital, Cao Wenzhao said: "Find a place to stay, rest for one night, and enter the city tomorrow."

"Yes." Cao Wenzhao was in a hurry along the way, only bringing more than a dozen personal guards. One of them responded and prepared to make arrangements.

He had just walked a few steps, and three people came out of a restaurant not far away, and walked towards them quickly with clear goals.

"Sir." The guard retreated and looked at the person who came with great vigilance.

Cao Wenzhao also saw it. He was not in his eyes. While cleaning up himself, he said, "Go and prepare. The emperor has been waiting for a long time."

When the personal guard heard this, he hurriedly said, "As for order!"

Cao Wenzhao stood up straight and looked at the person who came with a curiosity. Not long after, he saw that the man in the middle was actually wearing the costumes of Qianhu, the other two were dressed in servants.

Cao Wenzhao is familiar with the Jinyiwei and cannot be familiar with it. In the eyes of many people, the Jinyiwei has been "abolized". These are all honorary. The predecessors' conferred gifts and some salary have actually no power.

"Secretary Sun Ling meets General Cao." The person who came was in his thirties, fair and clean, and looked quite polite.

Cao Wenzhao looked familiar with him, and couldn't remember it for a moment, and looked at him and said, "What are you?"

Sun Ling raised his hand and said, "My father, Sun Huichengzong."

Cao Wenzhao's expression moved slightly and said, "Gemaster Sun asked you to come?"

"Yes, my father has something to do, I want to talk to General Cao first." Sun Ling said.

‘It seems that the Emperor General Sun Ge Lao was very frustrated and actually asked his son to block me here…’

Cao Wenzhao remained unchanged, but his heart was like a mirror. Most of the time, Sun Chengzong was forced to the point of being unable to do anything about it, so he came to seek his support. At the same time, this was also a way for Sun Chengzong to express his attitude to the emperor.

"What does Master Sun Ge's want to talk about?" Cao Wenzhao said.

Sun Ling looked around and knew that the opportunity was rare, so she said directly: "I believe General Cao already knew the emperor's intention to reform the military. His father was deeply worried. He hoped General Cao could do it carefully and advise the emperor."

Cao Wenzhao raised his hand and said lightly: "Master Sun Ge told you to pass on this sentence, and I want me to listen to him? Is he not afraid of arousing the emperor's dissatisfaction?"

Sun Ling bowed slightly and said, "Yes, my father just said this."

'It seems that it is for the emperor to show it, and I don't really want to convince me.' Cao Wenzhao knew it in his heart and said, "Okay, I understand. Go back and tell Master Sun that if you find an opportunity, I will visit him in person."
