Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 54 Come to me if you have a problem!

The most important thing now is her daughter's marriage. She has been spoiled by herself, and it may be very difficult to convince her.

However, today is her cousin, so she has to work hard on her own.

Inside the Royal Garden.

Zhu Houzhao sat alone on the soft couch.

"Good news, good news, good news from Liaodong!"

A little eunuch, holding a memorial in his hand, trotted to Zhu Houzhao's side.

Zhang Xuan stopped the little eunuch.

"Princess?" The little eunuch knew Zhang Xuan, stopped suddenly, and looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise.

In fact, this eunuch was as familiar as Wang Lu, but he just couldn't get his name. Although Zhang Xuan was named princess, she never bullied anyone in this palace.

On the contrary, she has a very good relationship with those eunuchs and court ladies.

"Reporting to the princess, the young one has important matters to report to His Majesty."

"What's important?"

"Great victory in Liaodong."

"Good thing, just right, I'm going to see my cousin too, please give me this memorial!"

As Zhang Xuan said, he was about to reach out to grab the memorial, but the little eunuch suddenly hid him behind him.

"Princess, you don't know something. This is a major military matter, and the memorial cannot be easily passed on to others."

The little eunuch is afraid of being punished, this is the rule of Ming Dynasty, as the eunuch serving His Majesty, he still understands this rule.

"It's okay. Your Majesty is my cousin, and I don't want to read it. I will definitely hand over the memorial to my cousin. It's just a matter of convenience."

"Here, princess, you will be embarrassing the little one. This is our duty. If we don't deliver this memorial to His Majesty, I'm afraid the little one will be beaten."

The little eunuch rolled his eyes a few times and said: "Princess, look, if you go to the imperial garden, I can follow you, and the little one won't say a word."

Zhang Xuan had no choice but to give up.

Arriving at the Imperial Garden, the little eunuch was quick-eyed and saw Zhu Houzhao standing by the pond with his hands behind his back.

"Princess, look, Your Majesty is there."

Zhang Xuan looked in the direction of the little eunuch's finger, and happened to see Zhu Houzhao standing there.

It was a thin-looking figure from the back, and Zhu Hou took a photo as if he was meditating on a big matter.

Zhang Xuan walked over, Zhu Houzhao heard footsteps and turned around.

In front of him, the 15-year-old young emperor was in his prime, fresh and clean.

What a flamboyant boy!
At that moment, Zhang Xuan plucked the strings, but she was moved by this string.

In the past, she never thought about what the queen mother said, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered what the queen mother said, and her face suddenly turned red.

"How did you come?"

"Guess, cousin!" Zhang Xuan smiled playfully.

The little eunuch behind her hurried over, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Qizou Your Majesty, great victory in Liaodong."

Zhu Houzhao showed a little joy on his face, turned around and said to Zhang Xuan: "Come and read!"

Zhang Xuan was a little flattered, this was the first time she showed herself in front of her cousin.

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun also hurried over, and in his hands was clearly a well-trained flying pigeon.

Zhu Houzhang looked at Cao Zhengchun with excitement on his face, and knew in his heart that maybe this time brought him good news.

"Princess, please read it to Your Majesty first!" Seeing that Cao Zhengchun had rushed over, Wang Lu hurriedly made a face to Zhang Xuan.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yangming, has lived up to everyone's expectations, completely annihilated the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, and has pacified Liaodong."

Zhang Xuan read, Zhu Houzhao showed a little joy on his face, but the more he listened, the happier he became.

This Wang Yangming is second to none in suppressing bandits in the Northwest, he was transferred to Liaodong to quell the chaos, and he also guarded the country for me. He is really my minister.

"Very good, it gives me a long face."

As Zhu Houzhao listened, he said these words in his mouth. If someone else was not present, he would definitely jump up happily.

In this battle, the prestige of our country was raised, and our country was humiliated, and the neighboring countries once again witnessed the power of Ming Dynasty.

After listening to the memorial, Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Reward, I want to reward this Wang Yangming heavily!"

"And you, Cao Aiqing, Shen Lian, and you."

When Cao Zhengchun and others saw what Zhu Houzhao said, they hurriedly knelt down, only Zhang Xuan was still standing there, and asked Zhu Houzhao foolishly, "Cousin, what do you want to reward me?"

"I'll give you whatever you want!"

Zhang Xuan tilted his head, thought for a while, and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Then I want a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife."

The news of the great victory in Liaodong spread quickly inside and outside the capital like a spring breeze blowing out of the land of Buddha.

The common people all rejoiced and applauded.

Nobody doesn't cheer for a country's victory.

As people of Ming Dynasty, they have reason to be proud.As an official of the Ming Dynasty, do you have any reason to be excited?

At this time, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Li Suide came to Zhu Houzhao's side excitedly, and described the power of the Daming artillery in detail.

"His Majesty!"

Called His Majesty, but Zhu Houzhao did not respond, and Li Suide called His Majesty again hesitantly.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Suide with a deep expression, and said majesticly: "The significance of the new firearms is extraordinary, you must strictly keep this secret."

"I want you to produce this new type of firearm with all your strength within three months. If you want to put all of them on the battlefield, at least you must have all of them in the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion."

Li Suide was secretly shocked when he heard this!
This Majesty really doesn't know why, in just three months, he has to build a new type of artillery, and also invest in the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion, this is simply a myth from the Arabian Nights.

I don't say how tight the time is, but as far as the current station is concerned, basically there is no serious battle, why should the time be limited to three months?

Seeing that Li Suide was silent, Zhu Houzhao said with a little anger in his tone: "Master Shangshu, is there any difficulty?"

Li Suide quickly came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no difficulty!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't ask Li Suide too much, nodded and said: "This is the best, even if there are any problems, we must find a way to overcome them."

"If you are short of money, just go and tell the Ministry of Finance. If you are short of craftsmen, just go to me and I will find a solution for you."

"In short, exhaust all means to create a new type of artillery within three months."

Li Suide hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Minister, obey the order!"

The next day.

Inside the Xuanzheng Hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Civil and military officials are in court.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair and looked around at the officials. After accepting the worship of civil and military officials, the eunuch who was close to him came out and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty ordered that there is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat!"

Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, strode out of the courtroom, raised his hands and said: "My minister Liu Jian has something to report!"

"Prelude!"

"I was ordered to investigate the case of the imperial court's embezzlement of ink and silver some time ago. Now the minister has returned to the order. I have confiscated 900 million taels of silver, beheaded 87 people, and ransacked [-] households."

Zhu Houzhao listened, his face gradually became ugly.It has been more than 150 years since Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty. All kinds of systems are perfect. In addition, his father, Emperor Hongzhi, has made great efforts to govern this country. However, who can Thinking about it, there are still so many corrupt officials, why can't they kill them all?
The salary allocated by the imperial court every year is enough for a family of three to live on, but why are these people so cruel?

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled.
