Capital.
Outside the palace, above a street.
Li Xiu was wearing a blue cloth robe, holding the little emperor's hand, and walked slowly.
Among the bustling crowds around, there were Qin Gong’s personal guards who were wearing plain clothes, looking around nervously. Those with slight abnormalities may be hit by a thunderous attack.
The little emperor was obviously very excited. This was the first time he had seen this bustling and bustling street in his memory.
Everything, he said, is so novel.
"Come and chase me!"
"Quick!"
"Second brother, don't run so fast!"
On the street, several children about the same age as the little emperor were playing and playing under a big tree, and two of them climbed up the big tree quickly and ate with half a string of candied haws.
Seeing this scene, the little emperor's eyes widened. This was the first time he had seen a child as old as him, and the first time he had seen such a scene of joy...
Li Xiu looked down at the little emperor's wide-open eyes, and then looked at the child playing under the big tree. His steps stopped, but he said nothing.
After a while, the little emperor withdrew his gaze and subconsciously looked up at Li Xiu.
But at this moment, Li Xiu seemed to have not noticed the little emperor's desire gaze and looked around.
Seeing this scene, the little emperor pouted, and couldn't help but look at the child playing under the big tree, and looked at Li Xiu who was unmoved again. In the end, he could only let Li Xiu hold his hands and kick his feet casually.
He stood there for a long time, but in the end, Li Xiu slowly squatted down. The little emperor who was originally looking around immediately withdrew his gaze and tried to look mature.
Seeing the little emperor like this, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. He looked around and then his eyes fixed on the old man selling candied haws on the street.
Soon, a strong man walked over in the crowd, bought a bunch of candied haws and handed them to Li Xiu.
The little emperor's eyes also subconsciously moved with this string of candied haws.
Li Xiu asked: "What do you want?"
The little emperor hesitated for a while, then nodded with certainty.
Without saying anything, Li Xiu pointed at the child playing under the big tree and asked again: "Do you want to go play together?"
This time, the little emperor did not hesitate and nodded immediately.
Li Xiu spoke again, but this time, his words were obviously much more serious: "If you want to, just say it."
This time, the little emperor was obviously hesitant again, but when he felt Li Xiu's gaze, the little emperor nodded again.
"Take it, go play."
Li Xiu handed the candied haws to the little emperor, stroked the little emperor's face, and pointed to the child playing under the big tree.
This time, the little emperor hesitated even more. He seemed to have never taught him such behavior, and no one had ever taught him.
And everything outside the palace seems to be completely different from that inside the palace.
After hesitating for a while, the little emperor finally trotted under the big tree with the candied haws.
The world of children is simple, but in a moment, there is one more child playing under the tree.
A child who is slightly restrained but is obviously much more mature than other children of the same age.
The guards hidden in the crowd also moved, and inadvertently they had surrounded the big tree.
Li Xiu sat at the tea stall on the street, silently staring at the playful little emperor.
As the saying goes, "Age of three, and Age of seven."
Now, we can probably see what the little emperor will look like in the future.
Perhaps it is because of too much restraint and suppression in the palace, or perhaps it is because of the long-term companionship with my mother.
The little emperor was obviously a little timid and abide by etiquette and rules, and never surpassed them.
In this way, you can be a minister, not a king!
How can one be a king be timid and weak!
How can one abide by the rules for being the king?
Such an emperor is a prosperous era for his ministers! For the world, it will undoubtedly be the beginning of the decline of the mountains and rivers.
Fortunately, he is still young and has the space and time to turn it around.
However, one thing that is certain is that this little emperor can no longer be allowed to be in the palace that is bound by countless etiquette and rules for a long time, forming a long space.
At this point, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head, "Working about state affairs and the growth of the emperor!"
He, as a minister, was considered to be in place.
Time passed by little by little. In this noisy street, the little emperor played freely for the first time, and Li Xiu was also enjoying this rare free time.
Looking at the bustling people on the street, Li Xiu was also a little tragic. In fact, no matter how fierce the reforms were, for the people at the bottom, they were all silent, subtle, and little by little changes. If the final result was not released, they would be difficult for them to detect any of them.
Even if the reform is implemented, these people at the bottom will only benefit for a while.
No matter how good the policy is, it cannot withstand the use of time and the unpredictability of people's hearts.
As all kinds of thoughts flowed, Li Xiuzhi's eyes were frozen again on the little emperor who was playing with a group of children.
His eyes were ecstatic and flashing, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
The city is leisurely and peaceful, but the world is calm at all. It can even be said that it is already a turbulent and boiling scene.
In Shaanxi, due to the rebellion of Jinglu Wei, the two tribes of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who escaped from the sky, seemed to have signs of growing stronger again in this chaotic place.
According to the normal trajectory, the local garrisons had the responsibility of suppressing and under heavy suppression and suppression, the two bandits could escape for a while, but could not escape for a lifetime.
But now, with the rectification of Nanjing Jingying, a large number of people have been deposed and beheaded, and the situation has become strange.
People's hearts are turbulent, and the morale of the army is also turbulent.
Now the Ming army system, recruiting troops and garrison coexist.
Recruiting troops, receiving money, and providing food and grass logistics to the court.
It can be said that it was the mobile force of the Ming Dynasty. Now, hundreds of thousands of troops under Li Xiu are recruiting troops, which is also one of the capital and confidence that has caused this storm.
The garrison, military and civilian, serves the people in idle time, and soldiers in wartime, and is the main military force of the Ming Dynasty, covering all parts of the Ming Dynasty. This is also the main target of Li Xiu's reorganization this time.
The main body of the military morale is naturally also a garrison.
In the corruption environment, who dares to say that there is no shit under his butt?
As a result, the bandits plundered and the onlookers were everywhere.
There seem to be many people who are in the same industry!
In Jiangnan, public opinion is still boiling. This Ming Dynasty's financial and taxation land has become turbulent, and there are even signs of being out of control...
In Liaodong, the aura of golden swords and iron horses has gathered, and the troops are also directed to Shanhaiguan...
In the turmoil of the world, a stream of surging undercurrents have completely wrapped the dilapidated ship of the Ming Dynasty from the inside out.
It seems that it only falls in the middle of the day...
