Domineering Daming

Jin Zhongshan's expression flashed with joy, and then he said: "Then, Your Highness, matchlock guns, red cannons, and the warm greenhouse..."

Zhu Xu smiled brightly, and said: "This will take time, within a year, it should be able to be used maturely."

Jin Zhongshan vaguely heard something, thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, if necessary, we are willing to bear part of the money."

Zhu Xu nodded in embarrassment, and said, "I will not hide it from your lord, there is still a gap of 100 million taels."

Jin Zhongshan's complexion changed, he looked at Zhu Xu seriously, bowed for a long time and said, "Your Highness, these boxes are worth about 50 taels. After I go back, I will order someone to send another 50 taels. I hope those can enter North Korea as soon as possible." !"

Zhu Xu pondered for a while, and said reluctantly: "Okay, this king will coordinate with the court office, and first send the matchlock guns to you."

Jin Zhongshan bowed again, and said: "Your Majesty is here to represent His Majesty the King of our country, and I am extremely grateful for His Highness's help!"

Zhu Xu said with a reserved jaw, "Well, you need to deal with the matter of reinforcements as soon as possible."

Jin Zhongshan said: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"

Zhu Xu said a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, and then arranged to see him off.

Jin Zhongshan came to Beijing with a lot of tribute, and it is reasonable to take away more, but in fact, except for a carriage and dozens of followers, His Royal Highness Hui Wang directly sent out of the city with nothing else.

As soon as Zhu Xu sent Jin Zhongshan away, he was about to fall asleep while lying on the wall.The matter of Empress Zhang had been in his heart for too long, once this big rock was gone, he wished he could sleep with him for three days and three nights.

But this can only be a good wish, Zhu Xu sent Jin Zhongshan off, and ran to Kunning Palace again.

I didn't see Queen Zhang last night, but I should be able to see her today.

"Your Highness, it's not convenient for you to see people." Wu Qing looked at Zhu Xu, pursed her lips and said softly.

Zhu Xu's face changed slightly, and he said, "What's the matter, what happened to the Queen's Wife?"

Wu Qing quickly shook his head, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty fainted after giving birth. The imperial physician diagnosed that Your Majesty will not be able to have children in the future. Moreover, the princess is very weak, as if she was born prematurely."

Zhu Xu frowned when he heard this, Wu Qing's words were vague, but he could still hear that there was still a problem with Queen Zhang's delivery this time, both Queen Zhang herself and the little princess had problems.It's just that this kind of issue is extremely sensitive, even for him, Wu Qing can't disclose it.

Zhu Xu didn't see Queen Zhang, so he had to go back, and came back when Queen Zhang got better and could see people.

As soon as Zhu Xu walked out of Kunning Palace, Liu Shimin was already waiting, and said with a slight bow, "Your Highness, the Emperor is pleased."

Zhu Xu was startled, and looked at Liu Shimin as he walked.

This Eunuch Liu was very famous in history, he belonged to the upright category, he was not liked by Wei Zhongxian, and he was in and out of prison several times.But now, it's more like Zhu Youxiao's half shadow.He is in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, but he does not show his mountains or dew his water.

Zhu Xu was thinking in his heart, and at the same time asked with a smile: "Eunuch Liu, what is the emperor looking for me for?"

Liu Shimin hesitated, and said, "Your Highness, His Highness King Xin has just left the imperial study."

Zhu Xu frowned, and immediately said: "Thank you, father-in-law."

Liu Shimin's expression remained unchanged, and he led Zhu Xu towards Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Xu looked at Jingyang Palace from a distance, thinking about what Zhu Youjian was doing again.Brother Xin Wang saw something about him, so he kept a close eye on him, trying to "persuade" him not to go astray.

Zhu Xu felt very helpless, sighed secretly, and followed Liu Shimin into the imperial study.

Zhu Youxiao was sitting in front of the royal table, looking not in a good mood, looking up at Zhu Xu coming in, he just greeted him lightly: "Come here, move a stool for the emperor."

Zhu Xu was surprised, he had never been treated like this before.As he approached, he observed Zhu Youxiao's face, and found that his face and eyes were full of disappointment and helplessness that could not be concealed.

Zhu Xu was even more puzzled, thanked him, and sat down on the stool on the left side of Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao supported the imperial table with both hands and was about to stand up. He was unsteady and almost fell, so he quickly supported the table to stand still.

Startled, Zhu Xu stood up and looked at his legs, and said, "Brother Huang, your legs?"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, picked up his crutches and said, "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days. By the way, have you been to your sister-in-law's?"

Zhu Xu frowned, how many days?It's been half a year now.Puzzled in my heart, I still responded with a smile: "I just went there, but I didn't see it."

Zhu Youxiao walked a few steps on crutches, his stiff face improved a little, and he smiled reluctantly: "Well, the queen is not in good health, you can go back in a few days."

Zhu Xu didn't speak, and watched him walking around, especially his left leg, which couldn't be seen clearly in his trousers, but was limping, obviously poisoned.

"What kind of snake is it that makes the imperial physician helpless?" Zhu Xu thought to himself.

Zhu Youxiao moved for a while, then turned to Zhu Xu and said, "King Xin came to see me just now, saying that you have reached the age of enlightenment, and he found a suitable teacher for you."

Chapter 143 Empress Zhang's Hint

This matter of enlightenment has been mentioned more than once, and Queen Zhang alone has mentioned it no less than a dozen times, all of which were shirked by Zhu Xu's great teleportation.

It was the first time that Zhu Youxiao mentioned something so solemnly, Zhu Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Who is Brother Wuhuang mentioning?"

Zhu Youxiao sat back on the dragon chair and said with a smile, "Shu Jishi, editor of the Imperial Academy, Jiang Yueguang."

Zhu Xu had a vague impression, but he couldn't think clearly, and tentatively said: "Brother Huang, it's the end of the year, and there are so many things, why don't we talk about it after the year?"

Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth to say what's the matter with you little brat, but he quickly swallowed it back, looked at Zhu Xu and smiled, and said, "That's okay, there are more sacrifices in the middle of the year, you have a preparation, King Xin, I will go and talk about it."

Zhu Xu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Huang."

Zhu Youxiao opened a folder, frowned, and put it aside without looking at it.

Zhu Xu pondered for a while, got up and walked to Zhu Youxiao's side, and said, "Brother Emperor, I heard that you are going to replace Mao Wenlong with Xiong Tingbi?"

Zhu Youxiao flipped through the notebook casually, and said absently: "Well, Mao Wenlong is too shameful, and everyone is dissatisfied with him inside and out."

Just as Zhu Xu was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the note in Zhu Youxiao's hand that impeached Wei Zhongxian. Zhu Youxiao just glanced at it and threw it aside, looking very impatient.

Zhu Xu frowned. He originally wanted to ask how much money the imperial court could allocate to Xiong Tingbi, so he muttered: "Brother Huang, then I won't bother you, I will leave."

Zhu Youxiao threw the folder in his hand aside, and looked up at Zhu Xu's back with a strange expression.

When Zhu Xu stepped through the gate, Zhu Youxiao seemed to be talking to himself and said, "Do you think King Hui really has the talent?"

"I think it's not bad even if it doesn't hit you." From the side door, Sun Chengzong, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, came out and said with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao's expression moved as if he wanted to laugh, but suddenly his left leg twitched, the corner of his face twitched, and he sighed, "It's just that he's still a little younger, and he's not convincing enough."

Sun Chengzong bowed slightly, and said: "The emperor is in his prime, and he can afford to wait ten or eight years. Moreover, there are some things that are easier to do at a young age."

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a while when he heard the words, and said: "Xiong Tingbi, I will give him 100 million taels and [-] shi of grain. I hope he can really restrain the Jin people and reduce Ning Jin's pressure."

Sun Chengzong nodded, and immediately thought of the contents of Zhu Xu's letter, and said, "Yuan Keli from Shandong also needs to be taken seriously."

Zhu Youxiao respected this teacher very much, but he frowned when he listened.

Mao Wenlong was strongly recommended by Yuan Keli. This time Mao Wenlong was replaced, and there were even voices of impeachment against Yuan Keli.
