This was what he was thinking in his heart, but Wang Chengen didn't dare to say it. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the same is true for eunuchs.
"I obey the decree." Wang Chengen lowered his head and had no choice but to agree.
Daming Research Institute.
Everyone was gathered in front of a mirror that was so bright that their hairs could be seen, admiring it.
The manufacturing process of mirrors is not difficult. As long as the raw materials are prepared and Zhu Changwu searches in his mind, the finished product will be produced.
Lou Heyang brought Chen Yuanyuan and thirty female soldiers to the institute to report to Zhu Changwu. They were the first batch of students of Fire Phoenix. Unexpectedly, just in time for the mirror to be manufactured.
There is no woman who does not love beauty. Besides, compared to a bronze mirror, this mirror is many times clearer. It is impossible not to be amazed.
Zhu Changwu didn't look proud at all. All these were the benefits after soul penetration and were nothing. What he is thinking about now is that after making the mirror, he should make cement next. With this thing, whether it is used to lay roads, build houses or build city walls, the effect will be great.
"Where is Mr. Zhu? Your Majesty has decreed that he will enter the palace." The five young eunuchs came to the Ming Research Institute under the escort of twenty Ming troops. As soon as they arrived, the shrill voice was heard.
"Your Majesty wants to see me? What's the matter?" Chongzhen frowned after hearing this. He was very busy. Just when I was thinking about getting the mirror out, I took Chen Yuanyuan and the others to the Dragon Soldier Training Camp outside the city to teach them some skills that agents must learn, and then when they had time, they would also get out cement, iodized salt, sugar, etc. .
Once the capital is completely stabilized and the treasury has money and income, he will lead his troops out to kill the enemy. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Changwu has to do a lot of things every day. Except for eating and going to the toilet, he is basically busy with everything and only sleeps about two hours a day.
Even so, he still felt that there was not enough time. I didn’t see that Zhu Changwu didn’t even have time to fall in love with Chen Yuanyuan now. This is good, Chongzhen is still looking for me?
Could it be that there was some movement from the intruders or slave-builders?
Zhu Changwu thinks this is the only reason. Then he glanced at the eunuch who came to deliver the order and said, "Okay, I'll go to the palace with you and lead the way."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Changwu asked Sun Chuang, who was in charge of the security work of the Daming Research Institute, to put away the mirror he had just made, and then told Lou Heyang and Chen Yuanyuan, "You go to the Dragon Soldier Training Camp first and do some basic training. I will guide you later when I have time."
After arranging everything, Zhu Changwu did not forget to wink at Chen Yuanyuan, who was so embarrassed that he lowered his head and did not dare to look directly. Then he burst into laughter and followed the eunuch who passed the order straight to the palace.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Changwu changed into the python robe of a royal guard commander and strode in.
He didn't know how to kneel down, let alone call himself a minister. Being able to put on formal clothes and come here was to show Chongzhen the greatest respect.
Chongzhen had long been accustomed to this. After seeing Zhu Changwu enter the palace, his eyes were filled with joy, and then he said to Wang Chengen: "Quick, give me a seat."
Naturally, Wang Chengen had been prepared for a long time, and he knew it. According to Zhu Changwu's habit, if he was not ready, he would be called out for being a favor, which was even more unpleasant. It was not impossible to call him a castrate.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?" Zhu Changwu was not polite, he sat down on a soft chair and asked.
"Well, what has Zhu Aiqing been busy with recently?" Chongzhen smiled. He still hadn't thought about how to speak.
Zhu Changwu frowned at this question. He was very busy, but judging from Chongzhen's intention, it seemed that there was nothing serious. He didn't just want to chat with him. "Your Majesty, if you have any questions, please speak up. I have too many things to be busy with."
After eating a soft nail, Chongzhen's face showed a little embarrassment, but as an emperor, Chongzhen's self-regulation ability is still good. Then he smiled and said: "It's like this. Yesterday I summoned some ministers in Beijing to hold a court meeting..."
"This is your Majesty's business, you don't need to talk to me." Unexpectedly, Chongzhen just started and was interrupted.
For Zhu Changwu, he had no interest in court meetings or anything like that. This is just a bunch of people getting together to compliment each other.
Especially in the current Ming Dynasty, these courtiers are all the kind who cower when the intruders arrive. It is no exaggeration to say that in Zhu Changwu's eyes, they are all cowards and cowards, and he despises such people from the bottom of his heart.
A real man dares to draw his sword even if he is defeated. Even if my blood splashes three feet, I will spray some of your blood.
This is a real man, a true loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, if you don’t know where to hide and think about committing suicide and martyring your country, that is simply a sign of weakness. Such people were not worthy of being looked at by him, so naturally Zhu Changwu did not need to care about what these people were doing.
For these courtiers who were like bedbugs, as long as they didn't offend him, Zhu Changwu had no time to deal with them.
If someone dares to jump out and mess with him, it's as simple as killing people and ransacking their homes.
As for Chongzhen must use them, this is not something Zhu Changwu has to worry about. Perhaps Chongzhen still wanted to use these people to check and balance himself.
But no matter what others think, Zhu Changwu doesn't care. If you can, kill me. Otherwise, don't mess with me. If you do, I will kill you.
As soon as he started speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Changwu, who choked and made Chongzhen look a little ugly. Wang Chengen, who was standing aside, even opened his mouth, but in the end he still did not say the word "presumptuous".
Wang Chengen finally saw that Zhu Changwu was really bent on doing good for the Ming Dynasty, or for the good of the Han people. He only had the people in his eyes. As for the emperor, he had no fear at all. Even if you make him angry, no matter who you are, he will kill you without fail.
He was a loyal minister and the only one who accompanied Chongzhen in the end. Zhu Changwu must have considered this point and would not kill him.
But not killing doesn't mean you can't scold yourself or even whip yourself.
I thought that if I offended the other person because of my bad mouth and got a beating, it would be really not worth it.
The key point is that after he was beaten, he was afraid that Long live the Lord would not accept his favor. Even so, why did he need to speak.
"Your Majesty, I'm really busy over there. If you have anything to do, you might as well just tell me. Of course, if you're just reminiscing about old times, it's not necessary. You can rest assured that I will not interfere as your emperor. Governmental."
Zhu Changwu immediately revealed his bottom line.
When I say that I will not interfere in government affairs under normal circumstances, I mean that no one will offend me. Otherwise, this promise will be broken in minutes.
"Uh... Okay. That being said, I'll just tell you, you have extra perfume, right? Yuan Guifei's father, Yuan You, wants to do this business. Hey, speaking of it, after he married his daughter to me, I haven't had a good life for a few days, my family's life has been quite tight, and my finances here are also tight, so I haven't been able to help much."
When Zhu Changwu heard this, he finally understood that Qing Chongzhen called him here because he wanted him to take care of his father-in-law.
But that was Chongzhen's father-in-law, and he was not his father-in-law. What did it have to do with him?
Besides, it’s not that Zhu Changwu didn’t know Yuan You. Not only him, but also Tian Hongyu, the father of another Concubine Tian (Concubine Tian died early). These two people also left their names in history. When the intruders entered the capital, they were typical surrenderers.
The arrival of Zhu Changwu did not give some people a chance to show rebellion. But it doesn't mean that their inner weakness and fear of death are gone.
Zhu Changwu is really busy, so he doesn't have time to trouble some people. But if some people jump in front of him and want to get benefits from him, then no wonder he will be ruthless.
"Your Majesty, Governor Yuan is really as poor as you said." Zhu Changwu did not directly tell what he knew because it was not necessary.
Rather than arguing with other people, Zhu Changwu believes in letting facts speak for themselves.
"Yes, Concubine Yuan Guifei has cried in front of me more than once, saying that Yuan Aiqing's life is hard." Chongzhen thought that Zhu Changwu was going to agree to his request, so he followed the trend and said.
"Okay, if this is really the case, His Majesty has already spoken, and he has to give this face." After Zhu Changwu thought about it, he agreed directly.
But there is one thing he didn't say, that is, if everything is false, then don't blame him for not giving him face, he will deal with this Yuan You well, and may even kill him.
For such a heinous person with a famous name, the system would get at least 600% of the money if he killed one of them. Zhu Changwu would dare to kill as many such people as he dared to kill.
Chongzhen did not hear the hidden meaning in these words, and thought that Zhu Changwu had agreed, so he was very happy.
Soon, Zhu Changwu left Qianqing Palace, but as soon as he left the palace, he saw another father-in-law waiting for him here. He also knew this person, Xu Gao, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace.
"Master Zhu, the Queen wants to see you. I wonder if you are free now?"
Xu Gao was very polite, which was what Queen Zhou specially ordered when she arranged for him to come over. Zhu Changwu could only be discussed in a negotiable tone, and absolutely no demands could be made in the form of orders.
"Lead the way." Zhu Changwu was about to go to the East Palace.
It was related to Concubine Yuan's father. In order to convince Chongzhen, Zhu Changwu decided to take the prince Zhu Cixiang with him. This is also called the transformation of contradictions. Zhu Changwu is not a brainless person. Since doing something can reduce trouble, why not do it?
