Zhu Xu gave himself a few days off, read very few memorials, summoned the least people, and listened to quite a few things.

Returning from Yuzao Palace to the Ganqing Palace Warm Pavilion, Zhu Xu lay down on the soft collapse, holding a book in his hand, and two little guys in front of him, lying on the warm soft collapse, wrapped like a big rice dumpling, waving his hands and feet, and screaming from time to time, his black big eyes kept turning around.

Zhu Xu hugged the two little guys from time to time, then flipped through the book and looked at it quietly.

Perhaps because I have been busy all the time, I rarely have time to read books seriously and take a break from my busy schedule. It is the happiest and cherish it.

From the morning when I saw lunch time, after taking care of the two little guys, Zhu Xu lay on the soft collapse again, holding an arm, quietly flipping through the pages of the book.

The two little guys may have had enough food and drinks, and they were very troubled. They seemed to be about to turn over and screamed from time to time. The palace maids guarding Yuzao Palace were coming and going, and they didn't dare to be careless at all. It took half an hour for the two little guys to be quiet, and they squeezed together and moved around with little hands.

Xiao Shuxian squinted her eyes and gradually fell asleep. However, Zhu Ciye kept her eyes open and staring at Zhu Xu blankly, without moving. She just looked at her face, her face was pink and tender, and she could not tell any expression.

Zhu Xu looked at him and smiled, and gave him some things to eat from time to time. The little guy also ate it, and after eating, he looked at him without saying anything, and there was no meaning in his eyes.

Zhu Xu guessed that he was just bored, so he teased him occasionally, and then read quietly.

Perhaps it was because of the New Year holiday that there were very few things outside to disturb him, which made him a rare holiday.

The warm pavilion was quiet, except for the occasional sound of Zhu Xu flipping books.

"Uncle, Uncle..."

In the evening, a call rang out of the door, and then a figure rushed in quickly, followed by Li Xiangjun and two palace maids, who stood outside the threshold with restraint.

Zhu Xu just pretended that he didn't hear it and continued to read quietly.

Xiao Yongning came to the soft collapse and looked at the father and son and the three girls above. He was stunned for a moment, blinked, then quickly took off his shoes, followed by climbing up, sitting behind the feet of the two little guys, and said with a little excitement: "Uncle Emperor, do you know? Xiangjun just saw her mother come back. There were lanterns outside, all kinds of beautiful things, all kinds of delicious things, and all kinds of fun things..."

The little girl opened her eyes wide and suddenly ran inside again, sat behind Zhu Xu's shoulders, and pinched Zhu Xu's shoulders.

Zhu Xu glanced at the thick cotton jacket she was wearing. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She said calmly: "It's a mess outside at this time, and I'm staying in the palace honestly."

The little girl squeezed her even more vigorously and said crisply: "Uncle, the Empress Dowager has already allowed her to go out, it's not fun to be alone..."

Zhu Xu pulled her arm, threw it to the side, and said lightly, "I want to read a book today. If you make trouble again, stay in the small dark room outside for three days."

The little girl pouted immediately, her eyes turned and crawled back, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to go back, I want to sleep here for a while."

Zhu Xu was too lazy to pay attention to her and let her lie down inside and read the book on her own.

The little girl tossed and turned for a while, suddenly sat up, hummed twice, jumped off the soft collapse, put on her shoes and ran away quickly.

Zhu Xu ignored it and looked at the two little guys in front of him. Seeing that Zhu Ciye was still open with his big eyes, he looked around, smiled and reached out to tease him for a while, and continued reading.

It was not until dark that Li Jieyu came to pick up the child. Looking at the two children who were well cared for, he smiled and said, "Master, they don't want to leave."

Zhu Xu got up and said, "Let's go to your place to have a meal."

The family of four turned to Yuzao Palace.

Zhu Xu lived this comfortable, leisure and relaxing life for two consecutive days.

Read books, tease the children, occasionally go to Hailanzhu's place to sit, then go to Cining Palace for dinner, or chat with the old concubine, time passes quickly.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, it is sunny and light snow.

Zhu Xu and Cao Wenzhao were soaking in the pool, steaming hot and the water was boiling.

The two of them leaned in the trough, covered with white towels on their faces, and mostly their bodies were soaked in water.

I don’t know how long it took, Zhu Xu let out a long sigh, turned his head and looked at Cao Wenzhao, saying, “How is it?”

Cao Wenzhao took off the towel on his face, gasped, and said with a smile: "I feel comfortable all over. When I arrive at the military camp, I will definitely get one. Brothers will definitely like it."

Zhu Xu rubbed the towel, wiped the sweat from her face, and said, "How is it doing?"

Cao Wenzhao also wiped his face and said, "The location, official position, power and responsible ministers are basically clear. The money and grain are still in the cabinet. The Ministry of Revenue needs it. It is estimated that it will be completed by the end of March. At that time, the ministers can train boldly."

Zhu Xu was a little dizzy, and nodded when he heard this, saying, "That's great, practice first. If you have the chance, I will give you a chance to fight. You must be able to win. I want to build an invincible army of our Ming Dynasty, an invincible army, which requires money and food support, and also requires the cultivation of honor. Being the foundation, victory on the battlefield is the best, the only way..."

It was not only the first time that Cao Wenzhao heard Zhu Xu talk about his concern for this army, but said, "Don't worry, my elders, I still have some experience in training the army."

Zhu Xu laughed, wiped the towel around her neck, and her mind turned.

Cao Wenzhao's resume was basically fine. He joined the army in Liaodong when he was young, followed him for more than four years, and then went out to Zhangshan. The General of the West for five years and the General of the Southern Zhili for a year. It can be said that he spent half of his life in the army and his ability was trustworthy.

This topic is considered to be the past. Zhu Xu slapped the water and said, "The Ministry of War is sorting out all the troops of my Ming Dynasty. It has basically been sorted out clearly. There is still a Shenji Camp left. What do you think of to deal with it?"

The Shenji Camp has always been a firearm army in the past, with a small number of people, but it played a very important role in the decades of war with Myanmar, especially the three major expeditions of North Korea, and was highly valued. However, after Zhu Xu ascended the throne, the Military Arts Bureau developed firearms, and the power of firearms in all aspects has been greatly improved. However, firearms, especially artillery, have always been in a situation where there is no need to be supplied. In addition, the Shenji Camp has never had the opportunity to perform. In recent years, it has focused on cultivating Cao Wenzhao's army, so the Shenji Camp has gradually become a bit abandoned and has reached the point where it needs to be discussed and left.

Cao Wenzhao knew that the matter was serious, but he was not sure about Zhu Xu's thoughts. He pondered for a moment and said, "Emperor, I believe that it cannot be abolished. My Ming Dynasty needs a firearm army, and it is an elite. I think that such an army will play a very important role in the battlefield!"

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "You know me, I think so too. Now, my Ming Dynasty has entered the strategic silent period, and the demand for firearms and other things has been greatly reduced. After the big martial arts, these artillery, muskets and so on will definitely be sold out. I will have enough money to cultivate your special fast anti-anti-army army, and build another powerful, elite, fully armed Shenji camp. With these two armies, my Ming Dynasty is enough to flow in this world..."

Although Cao Wenzhao has been following Zhu Xu for many years and has been used to some words that he cannot understand in his mouth, he has now spent a while to understand the meaning of several of the words and echoed: "Yes, I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

"Then who do you think is more appropriate to hand over the Shenji Camp to?" Zhu Xu asked.

Cao Wenzhao was stunned and immediately said, "Emperor, hasn't the Shenji Camp been commanded by the imperial guards?"

In the past, there were three major camps in the capital, but now only the Shenji camp is still alive. When Cao Bianjiao was in the capital, he was always in charge of the commander.

The current commander of the imperial guards is Wang Wensheng, Zhu Xu's distant cousin, and the old man who follows Zhu Xu, who is loyal and strategy.

But Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "Do you still remember that Li Dingguo?"

Cao Wenzhao really had no impression of this person. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, this person is in the Royal Military Academy?"

Zhu Xu looked calm and his eyes flashed, saying, "Well, I'm a little younger. Let's put it on your place first, exercise, and add some practical experience. Theories are indispensable. On the Royal Military Academy, I will ask someone to prepare courses and teach you regularly. At all levels, all levels need to do literacy..."

Cao Wenzhao responded without hesitation and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I will do everything!"
