When Zhen Qin led Baochai to Ningshou Palace, Zhu Jinghong came out of the East Palace.
Originally we were just having a meal with the prince, but after the prince got drunk, he started to complain with snot and tears.
Even if Yuanchun tried to persuade him, he could not stop the prince from pouring out his bitterness.
Of course, while listening to the prince's nonsense, Zhu Jinghong also learned some new news.
For example, the current situation in the court is that because of being suppressed at the Great Court Meeting, more people are now turning to Prince Rui's Mansion.
A very obvious phenomenon is that there are more and more memorials to impeach officials in the East Palace. Some people even impeach the prince directly, saying that he has friends with diplomats in Jinling and Jiangbei.
These impeachments are not groundless, so it is difficult for Zhu Jingyuan to cope with it. He has recently written a lot of self-defense memorials.
In other words, the court is calm on the surface, but secretly it is turbulent.
In fact, if the Emperor's Holy Birthday Festival was not approaching and the Emperor deliberately suppressed this matter, I am afraid that there would have been a big commotion.
Walking out of the East Palace, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh, "In the position of the prince, if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make more mistakes, and if you don't do less, you will make more mistakes."
"Fortunately, I am not the prince yet." This matter won't bother me for the time being."
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Zhu Jinghong rushed towards the palace. He was going to Kunning Palace to inquire about the situation.
When he was about to pass the Qianqing Palace, he was stopped by a voice behind him.
"Stop"
The emperor was naturally the only one who could speak to him like this in the palace.
/p>
"Since when have you been so filial to say hello at this time?"
It is said that morning and dusk are the best times, but it is noon now, so it is not the right time to say hello.
Before Zhu Jinghong could make up a reason, Zhu Xianming then asked, "Aren't you training in Shanglinyuan? How are you doing now?"
"You're doing well in training, better than when you first came here." It's a lot better, but my son still doesn't think it's enough, he must keep improving."
Zhu Xianming also walked towards the deep palace, and asked as he walked, "So, you are still very serious"
p>
Following the emperor, Zhu Jinghong smiled and replied, "Dad, my son can't calm down while studying. You don't need to be taught to do these things."
Glancing at Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming said coldly, " It seems that you are very proud of being unable to calm down while studying."
Zhu Jinghong quickly replied, "This son has absolutely no such intention."
"Shanglinyuan is training troops. I will have some leisure time in a few days." Look, you'd better practice well, otherwise I won't take mercy on you"
Under the emperor's scolding, Zhu Jinghong trembled unconsciously, and then replied "Yes"
" It’s just that my son has a request.”
Don’t make requests at this time.Zhu Jinghong seems to be a waste.
"Say"
"To protect the dignity of the army, my son wants to give the sergeants new armor, and I ask my father for permission"
Everyone If they were all replaced, that would be more than 1,500 sets.
The bodyguards of the Shangzhi Army use armor. A set costs about twenty taels, which is equivalent to a year's harvest of a well-off family.
More than 1,500 sets of armor, converted to nearly 30,000 taels, is already a considerable expense.
Seeing that the emperor did not express his position, Zhu Jinghong continued, "Dad, don't you understand the principle that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles?"
"I want you to teach" the emperor's voice Suddenly increased.
"My son dare not"
Hands behind his back, Zhu Xianming thought to himself, "I remember Beisiwei. At the beginning of the year, more than 3,000 sets were replaced, and they are still 90% new after use. Just find a few commanders to smooth it out, and it will be fine."
The armor is updated in batches. Each guard has more than 5,000 soldiers, and seven or eight hundred sets can be obtained every year. Time can be completely changed.
Zhu Jinghong immediately explained: "Dad, this time we are showing it to the envoys from various countries. We are wearing half-worn clothes. Wouldn't it make the chieftain envoys of the Khan Alliance think that we, the Ming Dynasty, can't even wear new armor?" "Start"
"If I want to replace them, I will replace them all with new ones. You can approve more than a thousand pieces and give the sergeants one set, one set for each person"
One thousand More than five hundred sets, more than thirty thousand taels of silver, Zhu Jinghong said it easily.
Seeing that the emperor still did not express his position, Zhu Jinghong suddenly said, "You can't afford to give me such a small thing, right?"
"What did you say?"
< p>Zhu Xianming stopped and looked at his son beside him with cold eyes. Zhu Jinghong was so frightened that he quickly lowered his waist."It's just some armor, I'll give you fifteen hundred sets, one set for each person."
After saying this, Zhu Xianming said in a stern tone, "If you can't practice it to achieve the effect you say, , Hum, I will peel off your skin."
Zhu Jinghong's throat surged, and he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and quickly replied, "Yes, yes."
As he continued to move forward with his hands behind his back, Zhu Xianming said, " Go back and write a note and submit it to the cabinet. After the Supervisor of Ceremonies approves it, you can go to the Ministry of Works to collect it with your ticket."
Although the emperor only needed a word to ask Zhu Jinghong to go to the Ministry of Works to pick up the things, at this moment Zhu Xianming I didn't mean to use "privilege".
After all, the rules and decency of the court also need to be maintained by him as the emperor.
"Yes"
"Let's go to see your mother"
"Dad, you are also going to Kunning Palace"
" "Well"
"Then you go first. My son will go back and write a memorial, and I will go and greet my mother later."
Going to Kunning Palace with the emperor is completely uncomfortable. , Zhu Jinghong will certainly not go with him.
So before Zhu Xianming could say anything more, Zhu Jinghong ran away without looking back, which made Zhu Xianming snort coldly.
“This traitor”
After scolding him, Zhu Xianming turned around and went toGo north.
Entering Kunning Palace, the queen was sipping tea in a side hall. Zhu Xianming walked in with his hands behind his back, looking unhappy on his face.
After sitting down, Zhu Xianming immediately said, "Qingyin, if you have to ask me to come over if you have something to do, you can't go to Qianqing Palace to tell me."
"The emperor always comes here To meet the Queen."
Seeing Zhu Xianming's arrogance, Yang Qingyin raised her eyes and looked at him, "It seems that he is so angry, who made you angry again?"
"Don't be distracted. Go ahead, tell me how many times I have been to Kunning Palace and how many times you have been to Qianqing Palace."
"Are you done?" Yang Qingyin said in a calm tone.
"You"
Zhu Xianming was helpless and finally waved his hand, "Tell me what you want me to do."
"Sheng'er's attendant has been chosen. "
"Hmm"
Picking up the teacup and answering, Zhu Xianming asked, "Who is the last one?"
The three designated Zhu Xianming knew it, so he I only asked the last one.
"The girl from the Xue family"
"Which girl from the Xue family?" Zhu Xianming didn't think of it for a moment.
He thinks about too many things every day, so how can he remember the little Xue family in Jinling.
"The Xue family of Jinling, the Xue family who saved Lao Shisan, chose her daughter."
Only then did Zhu Xianming understand, and then said, "Because her family saved You didn't choose her until she was thirteen years old."
"Of course not. Among the girls selected today, she is the most outstanding, and she is a rare good child."
Let go Tea cup, Zhu Xianming said in surprise, "It's rare for you to praise someone like this. It seems that this girl is very popular with you."
"Who wouldn't like a girl like this?" When saying this, Yang Qingyin thought of My youngest son secretly thought that this little bastard really knows how to pick.
"Just make your choice. That's why you asked me to come over." Zhu Xianming raised his head and asked.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qingyin was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, she arranged her clothes and put on a very formal air.
"Of course not"
"That's why" Zhu Xianming became alert.
"I heard that many people are impeaching the fourth son in the court now. What is going on?"
When Zhu Xianming mentioned this matter, he became angry and immediately said, "He himself You have to ask him about the mess he made." Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft is free to find and add books. You can join the qq group 952868558
