Domineering Daming

Yao Qingqing supported him, and Cao Wenzhao went to the gate first.

In fact, the people in the courtyard had discovered it a long time ago and hurriedly opened the door. Cao Wenzhao confessed a few words, and the group of people became excited in an instant, but none of them were chaotic, standing upright, as if they were waiting for Zhu Xu's inspection.

Zhu Xu straightened his waist, which was almost unbearable, and with his hands behind his back, the feudal prince walked over in awe-inspiring manner.

These people were all old subordinates of Liaodong before Cao Wenzhao. They withdrew from Liaodong for various reasons and came to join Cao Wenzhao, and were finally arranged here by Cao Wenzhao.

"At the end of the day, I will see His Royal Highness King Hui!"

One of them, a fat middle-aged man in casual clothes, ran over and knelt down on one knee and shouted respectfully.

Zhu Xu knew that this person was a general in Liaodong, and because he offended his superiors, a small team was expelled.

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, and said: "Well, it's all hard work. This king asked Commander Cao to reward you with 5000 taels of silver. I will give you a vacation in a few days, and you can go to the city to have fun."

When the general heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!" He was in Liaodong because of the trouble with the salary, and he came to the capital to make money comfortably.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, and strode inside with a wealthy appearance.There are not many people in this yard, just for defense, there are more than [-] people.As Zhu Xu passed by, they all looked delighted and respectful.Before, because of Cao Wenzhao's relationship, they knew that they could not offend Zhu Xu, otherwise they would have nothing to eat, but now they know that with His Royal Highness King Hui, they have food to eat, and they can eat well!

Cao Wenzhao knew Zhu Xu's method of winning people over, and he used to spend money on them.

He glanced at the obese middle-aged man who looked a little excited, and said, "Hu Shanhai, you lead the way."

When Hu Shanhai heard this, he quickly said: "Yes, Your Highness, I will lead you up, well, the mountain road is not easy to walk, how about I carry you on my back?"

"No need." Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and said, "It's fine to walk."

"Yes, yes." Hu Shanhai walked in front, with the roughness of a soldier and a bit of a philistine, and said as he walked, "Your Highness, this mountain is fine during the day, but at night, it is foggy and dewy, and my feet are slippery. I only went up." once."

Zhu Xu nodded. This arsenal was opened by him privately, not the Ordnance Bureau, so it is natural to keep it as secret as possible.

Yao Qingqing seemed very nervous along the way, pursing her lips from time to time, looking up, grabbing the hem of her clothes, with worries and joy on her face.

Zhu Xu was delicate and expensive, and he didn't move much at a young age. After walking for a long time, he was sweating and panting.

"Your Highness, how about I carry you?"

Cao Wenzhao kept staring at Zhu Xu, approached and said in a low voice when he saw him.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "No need, find some martial arts cheats for me when I get back, I want to practice peerless martial arts."

Both Cao Wenzhao and Yao Qingqing followed Zhu Xu for a long time, knowing that he was joking, but Hu Shanhai in front shook his head and said: "Your Highness, those are useless, let me tell you, make a wooden man with a knife, Cutting against each other every day is more effective than anything else."

Zhu Xu glanced at him out of breath, and said with a smile, "Good idea, I'll try it when I go back."

Hu Shanhaile smiled, turned his head while walking and said: "Your Highness, you don't need to practice much, and you don't do anything anyway. You don't use this kind of place in your capacity."

Zhu Xu smiled without saying a word, and was protected by the three of them, walking up the mountain step by step.

After an unknown amount of time, Yao Qingqing also panted beside her and said, "Your Highness, we're almost here."

Zhu Xu's small body made him feel that he had never traveled such a long distance before. When he looked up, a large courtyard appeared in his eyes.

"Alright, it's safer this way." Zhu Xu comforted himself, if it wasn't for something called dignity supporting him, he would definitely lie down and sleep.

After barely holding on for a long time, Zhu Xu and his party arrived at the yard on the mountainside.

Bi Maokang had also been notified, and hurried out, bowed to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, Bi Maokang pays his respects to His Royal Highness Hui Wang."

Zhu Xu was out of breath, waved his hands and said: "Okay, I'm just here to come and see, you can catch up with Sister Qingqing first, I will rest for a while."

Bi Maokang also saw Yao Qingqing, and seeing that Zhu Xu was really tired, he bowed slightly and said, "It's Your Highness, please come with me."

Bi Maokang took Zhu Xu into the yard, rested in a room, and then led the nervous Yao Qingqing away.

"Your Highness, drink some water." Cao Wenzhao poured Zhu Xu a glass of water and handed it to him.

Zhu Xu lay there, took a sip, rested for a while, then suddenly sat up reluctantly, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, let's go to the corner."

Cao Wenzhao knew that Zhu Xu's bad taste had always been strong, seeing that he couldn't stand up, he still said: "Your Highness, let's rest first."

Zhu Xu waved his hands again and again, and said, "Hurry up, help me over."

Cao Wenzhao had nothing to do, so he had to help Zhu Xu to go out secretly, went to another room, and sat quietly under the window.

In the room, Yao Qingqing and Bi Maokang were sitting opposite each other, Bi Maokang looked slightly condensed, and Yao Qingqing was tense.

"It turns out that you were brought into the palace by His Royal Highness Hui Wang." Bi Maokang said thoughtfully after listening to Yao Qingqing's words.

Yao Qingqing nodded slightly, and said: "It's not long since you left. His Highness takes good care of me. There are not many people in His Highness's Jinghuan Palace. I usually cook, wash clothes, and have nothing else to do."

Bi Maokang understood, His Royal Highness Hui Wang was only seven years old, what could happen?

After finally meeting each other, he didn't want to get entangled in the affairs of the two of them, making the atmosphere awkward, so he asked out of words, "Has anything interesting happened in the city recently?"

Yao Qingqing doesn't often go out of the palace, unless there is too much trouble, otherwise she won't know about it, and there are too many things about Zhu Xu that she can't mention. There are a lot of private possessions, His Royal Highness Hui Wang ordered to search all the yamen in the capital, and it is said that more than ten million taels of dirty silver were obtained."

Bi Maokang's face changed drastically, and he lost his voice and said: "Are you serious?" Bi Maokang is also a person who is familiar with history books and has been in office for a long time, so he naturally knows about the events of the Ming Dynasty.As soon as he heard it, he knew what the court was up to, and he also knew that the various yamen would definitely commit corruption and fraud, but he didn't expect that the seven-year-old little Highness would be so daring?

"Then what happened afterwards?" Bi Maokang asked again.

Yao Qingqing shook her head slightly, and said, "I'm not very clear, but Your Highness has been confined by the empress for more than half a month."

Made it for foreign ministers to see!

Bi Maokang instantly had a definite conclusion about this matter in his heart. The emperor knew about the affairs of various yamen, so he didn't want to take action, so he used His Highness Hui Wang's hand, and then punished him with small punishments and punished him with large punishments, and nothing happened.

"It seems that His Highness Prince Hui is not only favored by the Empress Dowager, but also the Emperor's confidant." Bi Maokang whispered, then raised his head and said, "Then, what is your Highness's visit this time?"

Seeing that Bi Maokang did not mention the matter between them, Yao Qingqing was disappointed, but after all, he saw it and had a little comfort, so he said softly: "You don't know yet, His Highness's uncle, Mr. Fu, will soon be promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs The waiter."

When Bi Maokang heard this, his expression became a little excited. He felt that the emperor had endured it for so long, and he would soon be able to control the court, and really do his best for the revival of the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay." Bi Maokang stood up, walked a few steps, and said, "Your Highness is here to see the firearms, okay, I just made a new one, and I will show it to Your Highness later."

Zhu Xu listened for a while, then shook his head secretly, how did Bi Maokang make Yao Qingqing wait for him for ten years?

Zhu Xu waved his hand at Cao Wenzhao and got up to go back.

As a result, not long after Zhu Xu came back, Bi Maokang followed him, and said respectfully and excitedly: "Your Highness, take a look at this, I just cast it yesterday." After saying that, he handed over a black spear come over.

Zhu Xu looked at Yao Qingqing who couldn't hide his sadness beside him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He decided that he must study more after returning home and be a wit!

Cao Wenzhao took the spear and fiddled with it before passing it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu hadn't recovered yet, but was still very excited. He took it over and looked at it over and over again.

With Daming's current technology, it is still very difficult to cast a smoothbore, so loading it is very troublesome, and Zhu Xu can only ask for it to be as short as possible, so as not to be unable to stop the cavalry's charge.
