I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"It's okay to move it, and it's better to move it for the rest of the officers and soldiers to use, than to have an accident here!"

Zhang Shize nodded repeatedly, not daring to interrupt.

In front of the emperor, apart from a few people such as Zhang Weixian and Wei Zhongxian, few people did not show their nervousness.

Zhang Shize didn't dare to say anything else, he just said straightly:

"Xue Lian said that it took a lot of manpower to move the gunpowder, and thousands of husbands were recruited from the people, so it was completed within the time limit."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said:

"Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, is effective in handling things this time, and I will fulfill my promise and credit him!" Zhu Youxiao said, as if thinking of something, he stopped and said:

"However, I heard that Xue Lian's reputation is not very good. There are folk rumors that he robs women and commits all sorts of crimes. I wonder if it's true?"

Seeing that Zhang Shize didn't dare to say anything, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to take the initiative to say, "Go and check to see if the rumors are true."

Zhang Shize didn't understand the meaning behind Zhu Youxiao's words, and he even had some resistance to this kind of thing in his heart, but after all, the emperor said in a hurry:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will investigate carefully."

Zhu Youxiao didn't care whether he could hear it or not, as long as Zhang Shize was entrusted with this matter, then his goal would be achieved.

Zhang Shize was not only caught by someone as a lecherous dandy, but even the favor he offered to sell to him was not taken seriously.

Zhang Weixian, an old cunning man, how could he teach this ignorant kid who doesn't know much about the world?

Now, Zhu Youxiao had to think, if Zhang Weixian went west of Hebei, would this brat be able to control the nobles from the north and the south.

Zhu Youxiao sighed and said:

"Let's go, and then go to other factories to have a look, I'm so relieved."

Zhang Shize was a little confused, so when he heard the emperor sighed for no reason, he was a little at a loss, he stood still for a long time before he realized it, and hurriedly caught up.

……

In the afternoon, Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace.

Hearing from Xiao Xie's report that he had only been away for half a day, there was another burst of chaos in the palace, so he smiled helplessly.

Zhu Youxiao didn't think much about it, and went straight back to the Qianqing Palace, where he cleaned his face and changed his clothes under the delicate service of Gong'e.

The usually peaceful sleeping place of the royal family became lively as the little princes and princesses grew up.

Although the royal family has royal rules, these are invalid for children. As long as there is no big mess, the ladies in all palaces will turn a blind eye.

Even if you are in front of the emperor, you are not afraid. Everyone knows that the emperor has a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart, and he is very protective of the calf.

Once a month, the husband of the head room would go to the inner palace to ask for hair for the eldest son of the emperor.

Please send it, it is one of the rules of the royal family.

The emperor's ancestral precepts stipulated: "Whenever the royal family gives birth to a prince, no matter how young, the fetus' hair will be cut from the end of the month, and the name will be named after a hundred days. The hair will be cut for a period of one month until they reach adulthood."

Zhu Ciran, who was always well-behaved and obedient, changed his mind for some reason. Seeing the shaved husband coming, he covered his head and crawled under the table.

Looking at this appearance, he must protect this newly sprouted fine hair no matter what. My husband is helpless, after all, it is not easy to just pull it out.

After thinking about it, I had no choice but to look at the female officer Xu who was at the side.

Xu was named by Tian Qi as the nanny of the eldest son of the emperor, so she was naturally asked to coax Zhu Ciran into such a matter.

Mrs. Xu squatted under the table, playing both soft and hard ways.

"Your Highness, come out quickly, why is Hao Duanduan suddenly scared, please send me?"

Seeing that there was no effect, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to say with a straight face: "Your Highness, don't be petty and alarm the Empress Zhonggong, and I will blame you again."

Seeing her moving out of the mother's house, Zhu Ciran felt suspicious in his heart, struggled a little, crawled out reluctantly, and murmured.

Seeing that his elder brother had his hair shaved, the second prince Zhu Cixuan, who had just turned one year old, quickly stopped crying.

Zhu Cixuan's mind was very simple, he didn't want to shave his hair before, but he was influenced by Zhu Ciran, and felt that this elder brother bullied his younger brother because he was Yuanzi.

In his little mind, Yuanzi shaved his hair now, and he himself shaved his hair later, so he could be equal to him.

Thinking of this, I didn't cry or make a fuss, just watched happily like this.

The servant invited Zhu Ciran, who was full of reluctance, to the embroidered stool, tied a square red satin around his neck, and then the husband in the first room wiped the razor, and went forward to shave his hair.

It didn't take long for Zhu Ciran to be bald and bright.

Sitting on the embroidered stool, he was bored, turned his head to look at his younger brother who was gloating, and suddenly made a grimace.

This was not over yet, the husband wiped the razor and handed it to the plate held by the waiter, took out a packet of face powder and applied it on Zhu Ci's slicked head.

The pink and white fragrance floated down, hanging on Zhu Ciran's eyelashes, casting a faint shadow.

Only then did the husband get up, and said to the side: "Your Majesty, after shaving your hair, this old servant will shave your hair for the second prince."

Zhu Ciran pouted, and was swinging his short legs boredly, when he heard the words, he turned his head and let out a yah.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Zhang Yan had already stood in front of the screen at some point, and said with a smile, "If I don't come, you might make some trouble."

Zhu Ciran touched the top of his head, put on the hat brought by the servant, his face was full of grievances, as if he was mourning his "beautiful hair" that had just died.

Mrs. Xu secretly took out two candies from her bosom and handed them over.

Unexpectedly, Yuanzi, who was still sullen just now, immediately smiled when he took the candy, and forgot what happened just now in a blink of an eye.

This scene caused Zhang Yan and several concubines to cover their mouths and laugh.

"Remember, Your Highness, eat secretly, and remember to rinse your mouth after eating." Xu said with a smile, observing Yuanzi's reaction.

The candy is wrapped in maltose, and it shines with crystal luster. Not to mention children, even many maids and eunuchs around are full of saliva.

Children are easy to be satisfied, but at Zhu Ciran's age, he has the idea of ​​going to the sky one second and falling to the earth the next.

These two candies are enough to make him forget all his troubles before.

Zhu Ciran picked up one, and just when everyone thought they were about to put it in their mouths, they ran up to Zhang Yan, handed it over and said crisply:

"The queen eats first."

Zhang Yan was stunned, the smile on his face froze in an instant, and the next moment almost tears filled his eyes, he squatted down and said softly:

"I don't like food."

Zhu Ciran looked at her suspiciously, and after a few breaths, he withdrew his hand and put the candy in his mouth.

There was one left, Zhu Ciran thought about it, and handed it over.

"The queen mother will keep it for me, and give it to me next time."

Zhang Yan was a little relieved, and went forward to ask Mrs. Xu for a square handkerchief, carefully wrapped the remaining candy and put it in her bosom.

The sunset is setting, and the evening breeze is just right.

The sun in the sky is like a shining golden wheel, which is somewhat similar to the amber candy that Zhu Ciran just swallowed.

The laughter of the children and the smiles of the palace people, accompanied by the setting sun, dispelled the last chill in the inner palace.

Many palace people felt the warmth of home here, Xu looked around and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Who would have thought that the land of the palace of the Ming Dynasty would be so harmonious?

Warmth and sweetness belong to the little happiness of the harem concubines, princes and princesses, and the peace carried on the shoulders of Emperor Apocalypse.

On the window eaves of the moon, the husband and concubines of the first room had paid homage to the queen, and left with their own palaces one after another, each returning to each palace.

The huge Kunning Palace suddenly seemed a little deserted.

However, when Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Ciran who had already fallen asleep, the feeling of desolation was dispelled and replaced by warmth.

For a while, the second prince Zhu Cixuan and the eldest daughter Zhu Shu'e also took off their boots and clothes under the service of their respective nurses, and they all slept peacefully.

This is the ordinary and happy life of the royal children in the inner palace of the current Apocalypse Dynasty.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Youxiao, who had dealt with government affairs, managed to get away and walked quickly to the outside of Kunning Palace.

Listening to the silence inside, Zhu Youxiao wanted to open the door, but he gave up.

The court assistant was by the emperor's side, and said in every possible way: "Master, aren't you going to enter the Kunning Palace? It's been a long time since I returned."

Zhu Youxiao paused his hands in the air, just a short distance from the palace gate, thought for a moment, and said embarrassingly:

"Forget it, the queen and the rest are fast asleep. If I go in at this time, wouldn't it disturb people's dreams?"

"Same as before, let's go back to Qianqing Palace!"

Wang Chaofu heard the words, looked at the lonely back of the emperor, and looked at the happy family in the inner palace, feeling a little helpless.

Early the next morning, Zhu Ciran was the first to wake up.

He slept soundly last night, completely unaware that his father had come to visit him. He gently put Zhang Yan's arm aside, put on his boots on the bed, and walked carefully to the window.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Zhu Ciran had a good time, and didn't even bother to pick up the hat, so he tipped open the window and hurried out.

The little eunuch who was on duty outside also came here just after dawn. Seeing Yuanzi slipping out alone, his expression was startled, and he looked at the sleeping queen, but he didn't say anything.

……

"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory!"

Zhu Youxiao had just slept for two hours when he was awakened by a noise, frowned and said:

"What did you say?"

"Where is the famine happening again, or is the White Lotus Cult causing trouble?"

Wang Chengen picked up Wang Chaofu and squinted for a while to repay the victory. He lay on the ground and shouted loudly:

"Not at all, Your Majesty, great victory in Northern Xinjiang!"

"A great victory that is rare in 300 years!!"

Zhu Youxiao quickly turned over and sat down. Even Gong'e, who was serving the clean face with a copper basin, stretched out her hand and pushed away, confirming:

"Great victory, what great victory?"

Wang Chengen said loudly: "Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong economic strategist, led his army deep into Mobei's captive court, beheaded Tuxietuhan Oba and his son Badali, and the Horqin tribe was defeated!"

Zhu Youxiao was a little dazed for a while, and when he collected himself, he patted his thigh just now, and laughed loudly:

"This Xiong Tingbi, I already knew that I did not use him wrongly!"

"Convening a court meeting, I want to let those civil servants who have always said that I trust Xiong Tingbi to see if I have hired the wrong person!"

"Hurry up and show me the good news!"

Wang Chengen was also very pleasantly surprised. He even forgot such an important matter, and even crawled forward to deliver the good news.

Zhu Youxiao spread the good news with trembling hands, and while reading it, there was a burst of ecstasy.

"My minister Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, looks forward to seeing you from a distance, long live long live.

Our army fought fiercely with the Mobei captives in Shifang Temple Fort for more than three days. Fortunately, all the generals and soldiers were able to survive.

However, when Jianlu invaded North Korea in the south, our army was beyond our reach. All the officers and men of the three armies shouted for battle. When the army's morale was available, the ministers made up their minds to go north.

One part Xue Laiyin begged for Tumote, the other part Man Gui went straight to capture the court, and the minister led the Chinese army himself, vowing to destroy Horqin!

Man Gui was brave and defeated 5000 captives with [-] men. Xue Laiyin made good use of formations to defeat Tumot and joined forces with us.

The minister shot them with suppressing cannons and bird beak guns, and the captives and riders turned on their backs, leaving a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

Man Gui used the pistol to shoot first and then charge. Against the captive cavalry, he was invincible and won every attack!

At the foot of Tiebei Mountain and on the bank of Kulun, our army defeated the [-] main force of Horqin from Tuxietuhan Oba, and beheaded Badali, the little prince of the chieftain.

In this battle, we must rely on His Majesty's Tianwei, and the soldiers will use their lives!When all the tribes in Mobei saw our Ming army banner, they all looked forward to the wind and left!

The minister Xiong Tingbi bowed his head and prayed again, praying for the holy news! "

After reading, putting down the good news, Zhu Youxiao's heart was tumbling, such a courtier is really easy to use.

He didn't even use Zhu Youxiao to do any support or give him any rights. Xiong Tingbi accomplished such a great victory only by himself.

Although this battle had something to do with Zhu Youxiao's years of military training, it was not him who fought.

Man Gui and Xue Laiyin were both penniless frontier generals who were discovered and promoted by Xiong Tingbi, and they all won great victories in this battle.
