Although it was clear today, it was still cold and cold this day, but in the warm pavilion of the Forbidden City, it was as warm as spring.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was dressed very thinly, looking down at the map hanging on the wall on one side of the warm pavilion in a daze.

Seeing Ye Chunqiu and his son coming in, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were filled with joy, but he ignored Ye Jing very directly. Instead, he smiled at Ye Chunqiu and said, "I knew you would come today. Liaodong has a mutiny again. I really saw a ghost. These people usually say they want to be loyal to the court, but because the money and food are too late, their loyalty will be gone."

Ye Chunqiu smiled helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, you have to be loyal to people who have enough food and clothing, right?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and thought it made sense, but then she felt something was wrong and couldn't help but frown and said, "But the masters didn't say that, okay, I'm no longer surprised."

Zhu Houzhao only paid attention to Ye Jing at this moment. He did not have a deep impression of Ye Jing. The deepest impression he had on Zhu Houzhao was probably Ye Chunqiu's father. Otherwise, there would probably be such a person in Zhu Houzhao's world.

Seeing Ye Jing's honest and honest look, Zhu Houzhao smiled a little and said, "Ye Aiqing, you have to go to Liaodong quickly. I heard that you just came back? I'm afraid that this trip will be hard for you. I'm really worried about you. I don't have to worry about you. But you have been to Liaodong this time, but what are you planning to do?"

Ye Jing knew that Zhu Houzhao was taking the exam, so he said, "Your Majesty, when you arrive in Liaodong, you must first clear the administration of the officials. Only when the officials and soldiers are well managed can the relief from the court truly reach the hands of the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers can know Your Majesty's grace."

"Is that true?" Zhu Houzhao frowned, as if he looked at Ye Chunqiu in habit and said, "Where is Chunqiu, what does Chunqiu think?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "Actually, I think my father said so much, but it is not enough. I am now worried about something."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu and seemed very interested. He encouraged, "Chunqiu, please tell me more."

Ye Chunqiu said: "Since there is a famine in Liaodong and the military households have suffered disasters, there is still a court to remedy it. But what if the troops in Liaodong are affected by disasters?"

Obviously Zhu Houzhao didn't expect this, and Ye Chunqiu was wary of what he said. At this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel silent, with a little annoyance on her face.

Ye Chunqiu continued: "The military households will mutiny when they are hungry and cold. If the Liaodong tribes are hungry and cold, they will rebel. This is something that has always happened."

"You mean that you have to provide relief to all tribes, but it's not possible now." Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment, shook his head, and then said: "In recent years, the Ming Dynasty's grain production has become less and less. Even the court has worked a lot to provide relief to military households, and it is really not enough to care about other people."

This makes sense. Helping others is human nature, and not helping is also duty.

Ye Chunqiu said seriously: "Then the court must be prepared and be prepared to respond at any time. Otherwise, if the tribes take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, the situation in Liaodong will only get worse and worse."

Zhu Houzhao agreed with Ye Chunqiu's words and nodded, "What you said makes sense. Although most of the Liaodong tribes surrendered to the court, rebellion occurs from time to time. Chunqiu's words came to my heart. Just do it like this. Ye Aiqing, you must remember your son's words."

Ye Jing smiled bitterly, why did this sound a little harsh, but he responded humbly: "I must keep it in my heart."

When Ye Jing thanked him for his gratitude, he had to go to pay homage to the cabinet ministers, but Zhu Houzhao kept Ye Chunqiu.

As soon as Ye Jing left, Zhu Houzhao said, "Chunqiu, why do I think you still have something in your words? I'm afraid there are some things just now, so it's not convenient to say it. Now I've sent your father away. Come on, come on, let's talk."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile. The little emperor was sometimes careless, but in many cases, he had many ideas that others could not understand, but he could not hide it from the little emperor. It was probably because the two of them had been together for too long, so they had a tacit understanding.

Ye Chunqiu said: "All the problems in Liaodong are the population. If there is not a large population outside the pass, it will only become more and more troublesome. If this continues, even if the east wall is demolished and the west wall is repaired, it will change sooner or later. I think that Liaodong and the pass are two worlds. Now the laws of the Ming Dynasty can be used within the pass, but when they are outside the pass, they are not very useful. I think that the court should implement the law outside the pass and absorb the population. Only in this way can the problems outside the pass be solved once and for all. Otherwise, if this continues, there will definitely be big problems outside the pass."

Zhu Houzhao frowned again, shook his head with a bitter face and said, "I think what you said makes sense, but if you do this, I'm afraid I'll cause a lot of criticism. Alas, my family is in trouble. I really don't want to manage things. They always say that the world cannot do without me, but what I want to do, but they don't have many willingness. Forget it, don't want to solve this problem. Let's talk about it first. Oh, Chunqiu, the father and son of Ning Wang sent me a few women to the palace. These two guys are very loyal and don't forget to give it to me... Haha, your little blue meatballs will be given more."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao winked at Ye Chunqiu.

When Ye Chunqiu heard the beauty, he stopped talking.

He had a bad impression of the Ning Wang and his son, because in history, King Ning would raise the banner of rebellion a few years later, but once such a thing was involved in the vassal kings, Ye Chunqiu would not say much.

If foreign ministers interfere in the affairs of the royal family, they may be subject to tremendous pressure.

Ye Chunqiu just said: "Your Majesty should cherish your body."

"Of course." Zhu Houzhao said: "I didn't say I was addicted to alcohol and sex, I just kept entertaining myself occasionally, and this palace is also boring, right? When King Ning came to Beijing this time, I chatted with him for a few words, but I had a good impression of him. Among the royal family, except King Zhou, this King Ning is the most wisest. Next time, you will see him."

Ye Chunqiu thought to himself that Ning Wang was ambitious and he was better off staying away from him, but he was not easy to refuse, so he had to say, "Abide by the order."

In fact, Ye Chunqiu also knew that this was just Zhu Houzhao's whim and said it casually, so he didn't have to take it too seriously. King Ning went to Beijing, and Ye Chunqiu had heard of some rumors before, but it was common for the vassal kings to enter Beijing under the orders, and Ye Chunqiu did not take it seriously and further study.

Ye Chunqiu thought in his heart that his father didn't know if he had paid homage to the cabinet ministers, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhu Houzhao. After leaving the Meridian Gate, he saw Ye Jing waiting here.
