"Incredible! Incredible, Your Highness!"
Chen Ziyu arched her waist and stuck out her butt, looking at the green vegetables in a row, her eyes shining!
Not far away, there is a patch of peppers, cucumbers, and beans all crawling out of the vines and forming some flower buds.
After hearing Chen Ziyu's compliments, Zhu Houzhao quickly came up, stared at Chen Ziyu and said excitedly: "Old Chen, have we succeeded?"
Chen Ziyu nodded seriously and did not speak immediately. Instead, he pulled Zhu Houzhao out of the greenhouse.
As soon as I stepped out of the greenhouse, I felt the temperature drop instantly.
"Let's go back to the house and talk about it."
After rubbing his cold ears, Chen Ziyu ran towards the house regardless, followed closely by Zhu Houzhao.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Ziyu said: "Your Highness, our greenhouse vegetables are basically successful, but it is not suitable for large-scale promotion at the moment!"
It was like a basin of cold water was poured on Zhu Houzhao's head. He grabbed Chen Ziyu's arm and asked in confusion: "Why is this? We have obviously succeeded!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Chen Ziyu patted Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder, telling him not to get excited yet, and continued: "We already have a workshop, and making money there is much easier than growing vegetables!"
"The greenhouse cultivation technology is too high. We just don't have that much energy to invest in this area right now. Let's do this again after the soap workshop and cod liver oil workshop are on track!"
Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, tilted his head and thought carefully about Chen Ziyu's words. After a long time, he said: "Old Chen, I listen to you!"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao agreed, Chen Ziyu felt a little relieved. Then the two discussed it and decided to go to the emperor first to tell Emperor Hongzhi about the situation in the western suburbs workshop.
Of course, the main purpose is to claim credit. After all, always reporting the progress of the work to a big boss who only pays and does not do anything is the most basic respect for the partners!
What's more, this partner is still the current emperor!
The two stepped on the snow and walked towards Nuange step by step.
Seeing that there was no eunuch on duty at the door of Nuan Pavilion, the two thought that Emperor Hongzhi was not in Nuan Pavilion, so Zhu Houzhao opened the door of the pavilion and rushed in.
After taking just two steps, I noticed many pairs of eyes staring directly at the two of them.
Three cabinet ministers, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, Zhou Jing, the Minister of Hubu, and several people Chen Ziyu had never met were all there.
Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned even more, and seemed extremely displeased with the two men's uninvited arrival.
"Ahem, why did you two come here?"
Emperor Hongzhi was obviously a little impatient.
"My son/I have met your Majesty!"
The two of them bowed in unison.
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and estimated that these two people seemed to have nothing serious to do, so he said in a deep voice: "Stand while I go, I have some important matters to discuss with you dear friends."
Then he looked at the middle-aged man aside and said, "Ma Aiqing, keep talking!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The middle-aged man named Ma Aiqing on the side is Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War. His face is full of sorrow and gloom: "Your Majesty, if this Milu is not removed, the whole Guizhou may fall into chaos. Qian Yue, the governor of Guizhou, has been defeated now and is relying on his help." Some remaining soldiers are trapped in Guizhou City!"
When Chen Ziyu heard this, he realized that it was the chieftain from Guizhou who had rebelled!
Although Milu came from a womanly family, she was quite prestigious in Guizhou and caused quite a stir. The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress her several times, but to no avail.
The main mountainous areas are rugged, and there are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains. For the officers and soldiers transferred from various places, these are miserable!
"My dear friends, what should we do now? The injustice in the southwest makes me uneasy!"
Emperor Hongzhi said worriedly.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. It seemed that even Qian Yue, whom they were optimistic about, was defeated. For a moment, they had no better ideas. There was a dead silence in the Nuan Pavilion!
Suddenly, a burst of sound came into everyone's ears, and Zhu Houzhao, who was silent on the side, stood up, cupped his hands and said confidently: "Father, I have a solution!"
Chen Ziyu's eyes lit up, right! There is no doubt about Zhu Houzhao's military ability. Maybe this guy really has a way!
When Emperor Hongzhi caught a glimpse of Zhu Houzhao asking to play, he immediately lost interest. However, in front of so many people, the prince had to give him face, so he said calmly: "Let me tell you what the prince can do!"
"Yes! Father!"
Zhu Houzhao took a few steps forward in high spirits, came to the middle of the crowd, cupped his hands towards Emperor Hongzhi and said:
"Father, I feel that the reason why the Yungui chieftains have not been wiped out for a long time is due to the terrain. Guizhou has many mountainous areas. For Miru, the deep mountains and old forests are the best hiding places. He led the Ming officers and soldiers in circles in the mountainous areas to consume his troops. , failure is inevitable over time.”
"Therefore, my Ming Dynasty must send a general with outstanding ability, directly ignore the harassment of Miru's rebels, block all the ways out, advance step by step from the outside in, and compress the living space of Miru's rebels. In this way, those rebels will definitely insist on It won’t be long.”
Although Chen Ziyu doesn't know much about military affairs, he can understand it more or less. Being able to come up with such a method in such a short period of time shows that Zhu Houzhao does have extraordinary military abilities!
However, Emperor Hongzhi and other ministers were obviously dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao's remarks, and they all looked at their noses, mouths, and hearts in silence.
Emperor Hongzhi coughed lightly with a straight face, "Prince, don't talk nonsense, I will have my own ideas on these matters!"
Zhu Houzhao was very pale and perfunctory, but Zhu Houzhao did not hear the hidden meaning of Emperor Hongzhi's words, and still said to himself: "Father, why don't you send your son to go, he will definitely suppress the rebellion and return in triumph!"
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly slapped the imperial case in front of him and said with wide eyes:
"Presumptuous! A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. What your majestic prince has to do is to coordinate the overall situation, not to take the lead!"
Ever since the battle of Tumubao in the Ming Dynasty, they were as afraid as snakes and scorpions of the idea of a personal expedition. Not only could they not mention it, they couldn't even entertain the idea!
"Father, son and minister..."
"Shut up!" Emperor Hongzhi was furious, pointing at Zhu Houzhao with an eyebrow raised, "Get out of here!"
Zhu Houzhao was obviously unconvinced, but forced by Emperor Hongzhi's anger, he had no choice but to flick his sleeves and walk out of Nuan Pavilion.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ziyu immediately bowed his hands towards Emperor Hongzhi and followed Zhu Houzhao out.
