Zhu Houzhao set up a "palace market" in the palace, making absurd and nonsense. All of this had long fallen into the eyes of Xiao Jing, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and other ministers. Although they all wanted to advise, they were worried that the emperor was young and energetic, rebellious, and had a counterproductive effect. He did not dare to speak casually. Gradually, no one could control Zhu Houzhao.

Fortunately, it did not involve the authority of the court, so Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and other ministers chose to turn a blind eye.

In the eyes of most civil officials, as long as the emperor does not make trouble in the court, even if he is greedy for beauty or does something that is not in line with the wise monarch, the government will not be abandoned.

At this time, no one in the court could shake the status of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others. Liu Jin was not strong enough to even fight Xiao Jing, let alone fight against civil officials such as Liu Jian.

Now Liu Jin is determined to win the favor of the emperor and fights Zhang Yuan, Li Xing and others down. Of course, his main purpose is to take charge of the rituals and supervision. Once Liu Jin gets what he wants, even if Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others tolerate the emperor, they will have conflicts.

Now Liu Jian is in charge of the government because the eunuch Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the seal, was inaction, but Liu Jin is not a mean person. His ambitions are great, and his ability to delve into camps and take advantage of opportunities is destined to be an opportunist, cater to the emperor's preferences everywhere, regaining the rights of the Silijian, and conflicts with the cabinet are inevitable.

The court meeting is being held in Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chaise, her head rising and falling like a chicken pecking at rice. She was making a fuss all night last night and went to bed at dawn. As a result, she was called to attend the court meeting after less than two hours of sleep.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he could listen to some things at the beginning. He went to the back to fight with his eyelids, and he started to doze off without realizing it.

Most of the affairs of the court were accepted by Liu Jian and Xiao Jing, but many things must be approved by the emperor. Liu Jin showed an effect at this time. Every time the ministers had problems, he would poke Zhu Houzhao on the back. Zhu Houzhao raised his head and responded, then lowered his head and then dozed off.

Even if the court officials present see this scene clearly, they will not say anything. After all, it is not the emperor who is responsible for handling the matter in the court.

The decision was made by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and the implementation was done by six ministries and local responsibilities. The court had a clear division of labor. Xiaozong left Zhu Houzhao with a complete bureaucratic system. When each performed his duties, Zhu Houzhao's role was infinitely lowered, and no one really cared whether the young emperor knew about the implementation of these policies.

As long as the court is peaceful and no conflicts break out, the monarch and ministers will maintain a harmonious relationship.

"...Your Majesty, I heard that the new three-sided general Shenxi imitated the Shenji Battalion organized an army and trained firearms. Now he led 200 troops to the capital, which seemed to be incompatible with the laws of the court..."

Tu Xun, the right censor of the Censorate, requested.

Zhu Houzhao was drowsy. When she heard that it was about Shen Xi, her eyes opened immediately, staring at Tu Xun with bright eyes and asked, "What did you say? Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly just now."

Tu Xun had no choice but to repeat the previous request.

Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise: "Shen Qing's family actually trained firearms similar to Shenji Camp in Huguang? But it's not surprising to think about it. Shen Qing's family can be said to be an expert in using firearms. Before, he won many great victories by firearms and unexpectedly... By the way, how many people did he train in total?"

Tu Xun couldn't answer this question, and everyone looked at Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, and felt that the Ministry of War should know about this.

Liu Daxia pretended to be fine and stood there motionless.

Because Liu Daxia could not answer this question at all, Chenxi did not say hello to the Ministry of War training, and he raised all the money for training by himself, and did not ask for a penny from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.

Without asking for money and food from the court, Chen Xi, as the governor of the two provinces, had the power to organize his own army, and the court had no way to interfere.

Zhu Houzhao was full of expectations and thought that a minister could answer this question, but no one knew about it. He was unhappy: "Why, you don't know about Huguang? Who did you want to impeach Chen Qing's family before? It seems that he is very clear about Huguang's affairs, why don't you talk now?"

Shi Tuxun was very embarrassed. He didn't expect that the little emperor didn't even know the name of him, a second-rank official. What's more important is that as the Du Yu envoy, his duty is to make news and news. How could he know more about Chen Xi? Even if he wanted to answer the emperor's question, he couldn't answer it.

Liu Jian hurriedly made an appeal: "Your Majesty, the three-sided general system brings local troops into the capital, which is indeed inconsistent with the court's laws. Please issue an order to let the troops he leads to be dismissed on the spot."

Ma Wensheng stood in the court squad and said with a smile: "Young Master Liu, the rules you mentioned do not seem to exist. It seems reasonable to bring some soldiers and horses to the guards on the way to perform their new post. Why does it threaten the safety of the capital of the capital by just 200 people?"

"If Young Master Liu is really worried, just send someone to spread the news and don't allow Chenxi to enter the capital, and even the guards around him will be dismissed on the spot!"

At this time, Ma Wensheng took the initiative to stand up and talk to Chen Xi because he was one of the few people who knew the inside story.

The local government once reported this to the Ministry of Personnel. Ma Wensheng knew this very well, but did not tell anyone. In his opinion, Chen Xi's training of troops was a good thing for the court and could supplement certain aspects of the court's shortcomings. Moreover, Chen Xi did have a set of firearms. Now he did serve as the governor of the three sides. If the elite troops do not transfer the elites to follow, it would be a waste of resources. He agreed that Chen Xi would transfer the trained troops of the thousand firearms camp to the northwest.

Liu Jian glared at Ma Wensheng and wanted to refute it. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Ma Shangshu's words are reasonable, but he has only sent two hundred to the station. Chen Qing's family has made great contributions many times. I guess there are many enemies, and it's no big deal to protect more people around him."

"In addition, I have issued an order to let the Chen Qing family go to the northwest to take office as the governor of the three sides to report to me... Liu Shaofu doesn't have to make a fuss. These two hundred people will be brought to the capital. It just so happened that I want to see the results of his training..."

Liu Jian quickly stopped it: "Your Majesty must not..."

"What's wrong? Liu Shaofu, are you saying that Chen Qing's family should not let him lead his entourage to Beijing, or do you not let me test the power of the soldiers under Chen Qing's family? Liu Shaofu, Chen Qing's family was my husband, and I trust him very much. Besides, he made great contributions to defending the capital. You don't think that the Chen Qing's family would be unfavorable to me, right?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

In front of the court officials, Liu Jian could not say that he had doubts about the character of a second-rank official who had worked hard and made great contributions, and had to maintain the style of the chief minister, and could not speak for a while. Li Dongyang reported to him: "Your Majesty, the local officials entered the capital, and the entourage he brought was not allowed to enter the city. This is a rule. Your Majesty, please think twice before you act."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It's okay. Since Chen Qing's family cannot enter the city, I can leave the city. There will be no problem with me going out of the city, right? You guys, what do you think?"

The ministers present were all embarrassed. After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, they all felt that it was too absurd. In order to see the result of the ministers' training, the emperor actually wanted to leave the capital. Many people couldn't help but think that when Chen Xi was practicing the Folang machine cannon, Xiaozong also brought the ministers of civil and military to appreciate it and demonstrated in front of the ministers. One of them was in front of the envoys of the foreign vassals.

These ministers were extremely smart and knew that the emperor was in high spirits at this moment, and no one dared to object. Only Li Dongyang argued:

"How can your Majesty protect the security when leaving the capital? Once your Majesty goes out, martial law will inevitably be strictly enforced in the city. The guards will go to the Zhijun, the Five City Military Command, the Beijing Guard Command and even the Beijing Camp will mobilize troops to protect them along the way. This will only disturb the people's livelihood. Your Majesty must not act hasty."

Zhu Houzhao was extremely disdainful of Li Dongyang's opposition, but he did not insist, thinking: "There are too many people in the cabinet. If you don't let me, don't let me go. I don't know anything like you. I think I can't go out if I don't let me go out? Humph, when Chen Qing's family comes back, I will ask him to take me out of the capital, haha... Maybe I can still take the opportunity to go to the northwest with Mr. Chen. I don't want to be this powerless emperor... No, the last emperor is just like me. Even if I go to the northwest, the emperor will do it... Hehe."

Zhu Houzhao thought of something fun and smiled happily. The ministers present didn't know what he was having fun. Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other and they could guess some of the little emperor's thoughts. After all, it was no secret that Zhu Houzhao left the palace. They had been trying to persuade him, but judging from the current situation, even if he advised him, it would not be effective.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Okay, okay, you don't let me go. I just want to meet Chen Qing's family in the palace. At that time, I want to hear some of his views on the situation in the northwest... This time the Tartars are coming in full force, and war reports are coming from three sides. I feel uneasy. Chen Qing's family has a good attitude in governing the army. I can't worry about letting him go to the northwest..."

Zhu Houzhao never concealed his appreciation for Chen Xi in the court. The many ministers in the court praised Chen Xi the most.

Li Dongyang said: "The war in the northwest is urgent, and it is better to go to the northwest to replace Baoguo Duke as soon as possible."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Master Li, why are you anxious? Is there anything wrong with seeing Chen Qing's family? He hasn't even seen me before, so he left to the northwest. How can we convince people? You don't have to say much about what I decided, and be embarrassed with me. OK, you can discuss the rest yourself. I'm going to go back and rest... Oh, I'm so sleepy."
