The grand Holy Birthday Festival passed, but only two days later the Supreme Emperor fell ill, and his illness was extremely serious.
The old man was not in good health, but he frequently participated in ceremonies before and after the Holy Birthday Festival. This situation was not surprising at all.
After all, the Supreme Emperor is just the Supreme Emperor. Although his safety is very important, it is actually not very important in nature.
The ministries and departments of the imperial court are operating normally, and the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology continue to perform their duties. Nothing has changed much.
Even the envoys from various countries who came specially to celebrate the birthday of the Supreme Emperor were busy with their own affairs at this time, buying things everywhere, living and dreaming, and running for the country
And this Among them, the Jurchens were the ones doing the most work. Having tasted the benefits of the Battle of the Northwest, these people clamored to increase their troops.
The emperor readily agreed to this. After all, these Jurchens did fight many beautiful battles in the northwest.
Zhu Jinghong was also present at the discussion on this matter, but he didn’t say a word.
The matter was settled. As soon as Zhu Jinghong returned to the mansion, someone came to report that Chen Yuntai from a hundred households in Nancheng had come to pay his respects before his buttocks were even hot.
"Tell him to go to the school grounds and wait"
The school grounds are spacious and can absolutely guarantee that no one will eavesdrop on the conversation, just because he happened to want to ask Chen Yuntai something.
When Zhu Jinghong changed his clothes and came to the school ground, Chen Yuntai had been waiting here for two moments.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong appear, this guy immediately greeted him.
After paying homage and paying homage, Chen Yuntai said, "Thirteenth Master, I have something important to report."
It could be seen that Chen Yuntai was in a hurry, but Zhu Jinghong was unhurried. When he came to the shooting range, he picked up a bow, strummed the bow string and said, "What's the matter?"
"According to what I learned, many courtiers have been secretly colluding in recent days to harm the Thirteenth Master"
There are no eunuchs or guards within ten feet of him, so Chen Yuntai can only serve him.
Taking the arrow handed over by Chen Yuntai, Zhu Jinghong replied, "It's not unusual to impeach me. Just let them impeach me."
Chen Yuntai reminded again, "But this time it's better." Compared with the past, the scale will be much larger."
"What I mean is, should we find a reason to deal with the leader?"
"Find out who the leader is Who is it?" Zhu Jinghong asked in confusion.
"Liu Shaowen, the Imperial Censor of the Imperial Palace, Yang Qing, the Minister of Rites, and Yan Lin from the Military Department"
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong suddenly lost interest. , to put it bluntly, these are minor roles, at least to him.
At the very least, they have to be at the level of six ministries and nine ministers. They are only useful if they are dragged out and used as the first bird. Dealing with these people cannot cure the symptoms and cannot change the root causes.
Of course they are the prince and Prince Rui. As long as these two disappear, the voice of impeaching him will also disappear.
"I just happened to find out some dirty things about these people these days. Master Thirteen, do you want to do it?"
With his bow and arrow ready, Zhu Jinghong glanced forward and said, "Wait for them to make their move first."
Now, Chen Yuntai would never think that the prince in front of him was a simple-minded person who understood what he was doing. You must have your own considerations.
As for his small household, his position is too low and his field of vision is not enough, so naturally he cannot understand the secrets.
So Chen Yuntai answered "Yes"
Then Zhu Jinghong asked, "Is there any situation regarding Miaoyu recently?"
This matter, Chen Yuntai is keeping an eye on it personally, because this matter is too involved and he can't trust anyone else.
"Back to the Thirteenth Master, this person has a big plan and sent many people to the East Palace. Some of these people also went to the palace."
Miaoyu Now she has the trust of Crown Princess Yuanchun and lives in the East Palace almost most of the time. Naturally, she also brought a group of nuns into the palace.
Normally, I don’t believe this, but if it is wrapped in a layer of "filial piety", it makes sense in this era.
After all, the Queen also worshiped Buddha, and the Crown Princess followed the Queen and prayed for the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor. This matter is blameless.
"Thirteenth Master, these may be the White Lotus rebels. If you don't care about them, you may cause chaos."
Loosen the bow string, and the arrows whizzed out, and there was no doubt that they hit the target. Bullseye.
Then Zhu Jinghong asked, "The Qianhu Office in Xicheng is still staring at this matter."
"They are still staring at it."
Zhu Jinghong then He replied, "Since they haven't taken action yet, just wait and see what happens. Remember my words and take the long term to catch the big fish."
Taking the arrow from Chen Yuntai again, Zhu Jinghong ordered again: "This matter is of great importance. You can only spy but not act arbitrarily. You must obey my instructions every step of the way."
Facing Zhu Jinghong's serious gaze, Chen Yuntai immediately replied, "I, the Thirteenth Lord, am following my lead."< /p>
In the past two years, Chen Yuntai has done a lot of things for Prince Xiang's Mansion, many of which are shameful.
Now that he was involved in the highest-level struggle, he understood that he was deeply bound to Prince Xiang's Mansion, which led to a change in his mentality.
Now that the honor and disgrace of Prince Xiang's Mansion are integrated, only when Zhu Jinghong becomes emperor can Chen Yuntai survive and finally succeed.
In this Ming Dynasty, in this kind of interest-dependent relationship, there are many people with the same mentality as Chen Yuntai, but these people have no say in public opinion.
Looking at the submissive Chen Yuntai in front of him, Zhu Jinghong raised his bow and looked forward again, and said calmly, "This time I have an errand from the Holy Father. I want to send someone to North Korea. I have recommended it to Your Majesty." "Go, I think there will be an official document from Beizhen Fusi soon."
A job appointed by the emperor is equivalent to serving the emperor directly. It is definitely a rare and beautiful job. Normally speaking, you will never get it. Chen Yuntai.
After all, the relationship between Dongchang and the Northern and Southern Divisions of Jinyiwei is intertwined. No matter how capable he is, Chen Yuntai can’t get from Jinling to the capital.After two years, how can it compare to others who have been operating for many years?
"Thank you Thirteenth Master" Chen Yuntai quickly paid homage.
He was transferred from Jinling to the capital, and then promoted from the general banner to a hundred households. Now he can get this kind of errand. This is the third time Zhu Jinghong has promoted him.
Signing Chen Yuntai to stand up, Zhu Jinghong then said, "Work hard and wait until the time is right, and you will be able to take another step forward."
If Baihu takes one step further, he will be the deputy Qianhu. This capital has become famous.
"Thank you, Thirteenth Master, for your support."
After signaling Chen Yuntai again to abstain from the gift, Zhu Jinghong said, "Go back and tell Li Wenzhao that I will arrange for someone to enter Jinyiwei in the next two days. At that time, I will ask this person to find him and ask him to find a way to solve it."
"Yes"
Zhu Jinghong then said, "Remember, this matter must not have anything to do with me."< /p>
"Yes"
"Nothing, just go back first"
"I resigned"
So Chen Yuntai left , while Zhu Jinghong continued to shoot arrows in the school field, which was also his gesture for the world to see.
He, the commander-in-chief who promoted the northwest army, basically refuses to socialize when he returns to Beijing. He rides horses and shoots archery at home every day to accompany his wife. At first glance, he shows no dissatisfaction.
But he had only been playing for a while when Qiqige and Nuomin came over. It turned out that they also wanted to ride horses and shoot arrows, and they had been frustrated after returning to Beijing these days.
Zhu Jinghong was also happy to play with the beautiful women, so he accompanied the two girls to run horses, and cheerful laughter came from the school grounds.
"Thirteenth Master, my brother is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. Can you give him another chance?"
While playing, Qiqige asked this question.
His brother Di Ling was taken to Beijing ten days ago and is now in Shuntian Mansion Prison. Shuntian Mansion is undergoing trial proceedings.
In order to keep her brother alive, with the cooperation of Zhu Jinghong, Qi Qige took the initiative to contact Ling Di and persuaded him to change his stance and join the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Jinghong then replied, "The Holy One has made a clear decision on this matter. You don't have to worry too much. As long as he is useful, he will not die."
Compared with Qiqige, No. 0 Of course it is more useful, after all, he has greater appeal in Junggar.
If he surrenders to the imperial court, it will definitely further weaken the enemy's fighting spirit, which is by no means of great use.
Zhu Jinghong was playing with the beauty, and at this time, a carriage stopped at the side entrance of Prince Xiang's Mansion.
The servant lifted up the curtain of the carriage, and a young man walked out of the carriage. This man was Jia Yun, who held the title of director of the Ministry of Works.
The person who followed him out of the carriage was Ni Er. This guy was a big and thick man, and his expression was very serious at the moment.
After what happened last time, Ni Er has finally received his vote and is now serving as a director of Prince Xiang’s Mansion.
Baochai asked Zhang Ping'an to arrange errands. In fact, Ni Er never saw Manager Zhang at all, so the next eunuch in charge sent him away..
Although he did not receive enough attention, Ni Ersheng was not dissatisfied at all when Prince Xiang's Mansion allocated more than a dozen shops for him to take care of.
With a decent job and the support of Prince Xiang’s Mansion, Ni Er has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of his life.
But he never expected that the second peak of his life would come so quickly, and now he would be summoned by His Highness King Xiang.
Even when he arrived outside Prince Xiang’s Mansion, Ni Er still felt that it was not quite real.
"Let's go" Jia Yun took a deep breath and said.
Actually, Jia Yun was quite nervous at the moment, but he was a little better.
Under the leadership of Jia Yun, the two of them successfully entered the palace and were taken into a side hall under the guidance of the eunuch.
"Second Master, my hands are always sweating." Ni Er took a sip of tea and looked uneasy.
Jia Yun smiled and asked, "Second brother, you are also a famous man, why are you so timid?"
"This is to meet the Thirteenth Master, the famous Thirteenth Master."
Jia Yun solemnly reminded, "I think Master Thirteen is going to use you this time. Don't make a fool of yourself when your chance comes."
This is what Ni Er said Of course he understood, so he replied, "Don't worry, Second Master, I still understand these principles."
Half an hour passed after the two of them finished their conversation.
While they were waiting in confusion, a eunuch finally came to inform Jia Yun.
So Jia Yun left, which made Ni Er even more panicked. He realized that he might have to meet Zhu Jinghong alone.
Just listen to Ni Er whisper: "Ni Er, Ni Er, you call yourself a man, why are you so uncontrollable? It's simply embarrassing"
In his heart While struggling, Jia Yun had arrived at the outer study on the east side of Cunxin Hall, where Zhu Jinghong received guests.
After he entered, Zhu Jinghong was already sitting behind the desk.
In fact, normally, he would not have kept Jia Yun waiting for so long. It was only because of the arrival of Qi Qige that his plan to receive guests was disrupted.
"See the prince"
"Okay, get up"
After Jia Yun got up, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Where are the guns and artillery development, is there any progress now?" "Progress"
Of course there is no progress overall, so Zhu Jinghong asked about the details.
"Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, Chinese and foreign craftsmen are testing every day, but unfortunately there is not much progress"
To make the artillery and musket required by the design, the development of materials is the key. , it is a pity that Zhu Jinghong basically does not understand this aspect, so he cannot give any constructive suggestions.
"From June to today, the craftsmen have adjusted the proportions of thirty layers, but the gun charge is still limited to"
Jia Yun is indeed very professional and uses data to explain everything. Talking made it easy for Zhu Jinghong to understand the truth.
After listening to the explanation, Zhu Jinghong said, "Looking at this, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a breakthrough within two or three years."
This is actually very normal.However, technological breakthroughs are inherently difficult, and it often takes ten or even decades to make progress.
"After this minister returns, he will try his best to urge the craftsmen." Jia Yun hurriedly expressed her attitude.
Zhu Jinghong smiled, and then said, "Since the guns and guns are no longer available, why don't you work somewhere else?"
Thinking that Zhu Jinghong was dissatisfied, Jia Yun quickly said, " The minister is stupid and has betrayed the prince's great trust."
"I don't mean to blame you when you get up."
After Jia Yun got up, Zhu Jinghong said, "Now that the imperial court has strengthened its navy, it is necessary to A new shipyard is being built in Jinling. You can go to Jinling and take charge of this matter."
These errands originally belonged to the Ministry of Works. Jia Yun is now under the Ministry of Works. It is justifiable to take charge of this matter. The key is to let the emperor agree.
In this matter, Zhu Jinghong still has a say, so he is sure to promote this matter.
Jia Yun bowed and replied, "I am willing to listen to the prince's orders."
"Go down and let Ni Er come over."
"Yes"
After saluting Zhu Jinghong again, Jia Yun retreated from the room.
There were officials to inform Ni Er, and he only had to wait outside.
The sudden departure to Jinling is an opportunity for Jia Yun, but he also needs time to digest the news, and the first thing he has to pass is his mother's test.
While Jia Yun was upset, Ni Er had been taken into the study and was currently lying on the ground saluting Zhu Jinghong.
"Little man Ni Er, come to see the prince"
Zhu Jinghong did not rush to wake him up, but asked, "I heard that the prince's palace rewarded you with the five hundred yuan a few days ago. You gave all the two pieces of silver to your friends."
Ni Er did a good job and suffered some "grievances." In addition to giving him an errand, the palace also rewarded him with some money.
Ni Er kept none of the money and distributed it all to the people he invited to "catch thieves". It was only in name that he lent it to these people.
If he was just talking about loyalty, Zhu Jinghong would not think highly of this person. The key is the word "borrow".
From the perspective of his friends, Ni Er had no direct relationship with their beatings. Giving away money rashly would make people suspicious, but lending money to these people to tide over the crisis was in line with his daily routine. character.
Such a loyal and careful person is worthy of Zhu Jinghong’s help. After all, there is a real shortage of people to do big things.
Ni Er was still frightened, but he tried his best to answer calmly, "Reply to the prince, after all, they suffered because of the villain, and some even lost their lives. The villain was really uneasy and took the money." I just gave them to them for peace of mind."
In fact, after that incident, Jia Yun asked Ni Er if he regretted it. After all, if he had not participated in the incident, those people would not have been injured, and some people would have been injured. Death without treatment.
Ni Er can only feel guilty about this.
So at this time, he just expressed his true feelings and had no intention of boasting about his loyalty.
"Well said"
"Get up"
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Ni Er bowed again and then slowly stood up.
I don’t know what he would be thinking at this moment if he knew that his friends suffered because of the "betrayal" of their loyal Prince Xiang Mansion.
"You are a talented person, but you are overqualified to run a few shops. Go find a job in Jinyiwei."
Yes, Zhu Jinghong's entrustment to Chen Yuntai was actually for Ni Er paved the way.
At this moment, Ni Er felt that happiness came too suddenly. He never expected to join the Jinyiwei.
That was the Jin Yiwei. Ni Er, the best guard in the world, was extremely excited.
It is said that everything in the world is for profit. At this moment, he was hit by this happy event, and the guilt in his heart had long been squeezed into the corner. All that was left was gratitude to Zhu Jinghong.
"Thank you, my lord, for your help."
