Yu Ya Palace.

Zhu Xu lay on the bed, quietly writing a book.

This was exchanged for the Royal Court of Justice. It is said to be a lonely book from the Southern Song Dynasty. It includes poems lost during the Northern Song Dynasty and some anecdotes and unofficial history. It looks quite interesting and is the most suitable for changing your mind.

The page in front of him was a comment on Li Qingzhao. This person was a female poet from the Southern and Northern Song dynasties. The author not only commented on a few poems with insight, but also described her love history seriously. In addition to his two husbands, he also added a few "scandals". Zhu Xu was both annoying and interested in watching.

After a while, Li Jieyu finally got the two little guys, walked in from outside, sat in front of the mirror, and whispered: "Master, today I am at the Empress Dowager's house, and the Empress Dowager talked about finding a teacher for Ci Ye."

Zhu Xu was stunned and looked at her and said, "Ci Ye is less than one year old, why is the emperor's sister-in-law so anxious?"

Li Jieyu smiled without making any trouble, took off his headdress, untied his hair, and shook his head.

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and continued to look down at the book. Empress Dowager Zhang understood the meaning of Zhu Xu. Maybe he was too tempted when he was a child. She was afraid that the eldest son, who might be the future crown prince, would be the same as him, and he would have to educate him early on "formal" early.

Li Jieyu washed his face again, then lifted the quilt, lay down beside Zhu Xu, pillowed on the head of the bed, and looked at Zhu Xu with his head tilted.

Zhu Xu has become accustomed to reading books for a while before going to bed every night so that he will not be able to sleep peacefully with the messy things in the court.

After a while, he glanced at Li Jieyu and said, "What's wrong?"

Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, Li Jieyu understood Zhu Xu a little, let it go a little, and said softly: "Emperor, Mr. Qian... what do you want to deal with it?"

Li Jieyu never asked such questions. Zhu Xu turned to look at her and smiled and said, "What's wrong? Has a lobbyist found you?"

Li Jieyu pursed his lips and said, "No, it's Yutang who came to the palace to see Ci Ye today and said something casually."

Zhu Xu looked up at the roof beam, and after a while, he remembered that Li Jieyu had a best friend, Qi Yutang, who was a descendant of Qi's family and Qi Jiguang.

This woman got married earlier than Li Jieyu. Her husband's family was the Zhou family of Jiangnan. The Zhou family and the Qian family have been in-laws for several generations, and they are good at connecting with the family.

After thinking it through... After laughing, Zhu Xu picked up the book again and said, "Just 'saying something'?"

Li Jieyu felt a little nervous, and looked at Zhu Xu and said in a low voice, "Yutang was worried that it would involve his husband and the Zhou family. Come here to find out today."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, glanced at her, thought for a while, and said, "I remember you only have such a friend in the capital, right?"

The Li family was quite complicated. It was originally a large group in Liaodong. When Nurhaci captured Tieshanling, some fled back to Shanhaiguan, some died in battle, and some surrendered. Although "anyway" before Zhu Xu destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, they were still very discriminated against in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Li family has always been low-key, and even with Li Jieyu in the harem, they never appeared and could not hear any sound.

Li Jieyu was not close to the Li family and basically never returned to the door. She was relatively lonely in the capital.

Li Jieyu said softly, staring at Zhu Xu's side face nervously.

Zhu Xu smiled and reached out to her and said for a moment: "Don't worry, I will not implicate Qian Qianyi's affairs. The Zhou family is also a scholarly family. I will go to the cabinet to check out the list tomorrow. If it is involved, I will cross it out at will. If not, I will issue an order to commend it. It is rare for me to have a family that upholds Zhongzheng and has never distorted it..."

Li Jieyu's eyes suddenly shined, and a jade bi surrounded Zhu Xu's chest and said, "I thank you, the emperor."

Zhu Xu laughed, threw away the book, pulled the quilt, and said, "Sleep."

Li Jieyu's pretty face turned slightly red, but he still lay obediently under the quilt.

For half an hour, the two of them hugged each other and whispered softly without sleepiness.

Li Jieyu's hair was wet with sweat, and his face was pressed against Zhu Xu's shoulders, and he whispered: "Yutang also brought a little boy today. He was just ten years old and was her brother-in-law. He looked very beautiful. I think Ci Ye will definitely look good in the future..."

Zhu Xu smiled and said 'yes', but he shook his head in his heart. The Zhu family's genes are not very good, and even he can't be considered handsome, so he can only be considered a little more moderate.

Li Jieyu seemed to have thought for a while, and said with a smile on his lips, "Yutang said that the Zhou family wanted to send him to the Zhengyuan, but the elders at home opposed it and hoped to send him to Qishan Academy and be a scholar for Mr. Yan..."

Zhu Xu knew that the Zhengyuan and the academies under his jurisdiction were still the world of ordinary people. Scholars were quite "despised" and were unwilling to let their children go with these "mud legs", which may affect their children's future. The traditional "famous teachers produce high disciples" education is still popular.

"Your Majesty, what do you think Ci Ye should do? The Empress Dowager said she would find ten teachers and teach classes six hours a day..." Li Jieyu raised her head slightly and looked at Zhu Xu's side face in the dark.

Zhu Xu hugged her tightly and said, "Don't worry, wait until he is older. I tend to go to the Zhengyuan... I, the emperor, the father, the ancestor of the gods, etc. My princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty, except Taizu, Chengzu, Xuanzong, almost all other emperors of all dynasties have never left the palace and do not understand the sufferings of the world. I hope I can learn more about it later, and it is best to have a tradition..."

In Li Jieyu's opinion, Zhu Xu was already 'right' before he could speak. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'm listening to the emperor."

Perhaps just after the exercise, Zhu Xu was not sleepy. He hugged Li Jieyu's soft and fragrant body and asked, "Ji Yutang said this?"

Li Jieyu blinked and said, "I said a lot, but they were all from the boudoir. By the way, she also said that many people in the capital are connecting with each other and will go outside the city gate to greet Shangshu Zhao tomorrow."

"Shu Zhao? Zhao Han?" Zhu Xu said in a daze.

"Well," Li Jieyu said: "Yutang's husband is also on the list. I heard that Lord Zhao used to speak very well in the capital. Many people have received his favor, so some people said something else but it is difficult to refuse, so they had to go and greet them."

Zhu Xu's lips moved, and he shook his head slightly and said, "You don't understand. Zhao Han took over as the Minister of Personnel. Everyone in the world knows that he is my person. This is not to repay the kindness, but to grab the relationship in advance."

Zhao Han took over as Minister of Personnel, not to mention that he had the power to appoint, assessment and promotion, he also had a bright future and was worth investing in.

Li Jieyu chuckled softly and said, "Yutang said it was a flattering match. His husband even prepared a banquet, which cost more than twenty taels. Yutang felt very distressed."

There are people in the capital who want to resume their positions or become officials, and Zhao Han, who has just been transferred, is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

‘It’s indeed an opportunity.’

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "In a few days, I will invite Qi Yutang and his brother-in-law to the palace. I will see you."

Li Jieyu was stunned and said, "Your Majesty wants to see Yutang?"

Zhu Xu put a hand on his pillow and said, "I am a noble and noble family, and my family members enjoy the pleasure and extravagance. There are very few who can see it, so I have to rectify it."

Li Jieyu responded softly, without saying a word.

Zhu Xu didn't say anything anymore, and closed his eyes slightly. The royal family was already carrying out "reduction of titles". It was time to train the children of the aristocratic families who were just waiting to die and were useless.

Early the next morning, at some point, it started to snow again, and it was covered with the ground outside.

Under the eaves of Yuzao Palace, Zhu Xu was cooking a small hot pot, drinking a small wine, and enjoying the snow.

opposite Zhu Xu was Cao Wenzhao, with a hearty smile on his face.

Between the two, Li Jieyu, who was fiddling with chopsticks in the hot pot, while also having to warm up the wine.

When Li Jieyu scooped a bowl of wine for Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

Li Jieyu chuckled and gave Zhu Xu a small cup.

Zhu Xu picked up the wine glass, looked at the snowflakes outside, and smiled and said, "I have to go to the cabinet later. Don't drink too much, you can do whatever you want."

Cao Wenzhao didn't see Zhu Xu, so he picked up the bowl and took a big sip, saying, "Your Highness... Your Highness, it's better to drink a large sip, especially the strong wine. It's comfortable to drink, and it will be even more enjoyable in winter..."

Zhu Xu looked at him and laughed, saying, "You know that I have dreamed of being a general who leads troops, eating meat and drinking with big bowls. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to lead troops, nor have the talent to win the battle."

Cao Wenzhao smiled and said, "Who, Han Xin said, right? He said that Emperor Gaozu of Han would command the general, and the emperor was the same, it was even more powerful..."

Zhu Xu took a sip of wine, shook his head, and said, "No matter how you say that Emperor Gaozu of Han has experienced the battlefield and established the Han Dynasty, I am far from being a person who has made great Han Dynasty. By the way, tell me about your experiences in the South China Sea."

Cao Wenzhao put down the wine bowl that he had just picked up, pondered for a moment, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Emperor, the South China Sea is greater than imagined, Luzon and the old port are also extremely vast. Overseas barbarians can occupy so many places thousands of miles away. Their strength cannot be underestimated. The previous defeat will surely come again!"

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. Cao Wenzhao had some vision, which was better than the adults in the capital who were watching the sky.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu and said, "The Western barbarians were also divided into multiple forces. The Red-haired people were divided into two groups. One was translated as Scotland, the other was called the Netherlands, and the Franchise people of all sizes. According to the translator, they were all thousands of miles away and believed in a god called 'God'. Every place they went, they would force the locals to worship, otherwise they would start killing and slaughtering. These Western barbarians were cruel by nature, liked to kill too much, and had no education at all. They would be a disaster for our Ming Dynasty in the future."

Zhu Xu said "yes", picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Europe is not as clear and complex as later generations. Many countries and nations have not yet fully developed and are still struggling in the shadow of the Holy Roman Empire. It is still a bit far away from when they truly distinguish the sphere of influence, the country is independent, and can dominate the world.
