My Daming New Empire

Page 308

Zhu Youdun became more and more confused, and asked, "What's the grandson's intention?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "This requires Uncle Liu to worry about it. Since my court has spent money in those theaters, of course they have to perform the dramas we arranged. These dramas should promote the bravery of soldiers who kill the enemy and revenge; My Zhu family, Daming, is dedicated to serving the people and fulfilling my responsibilities; or preaching that overseas is full of gold and silver, things and treasures, in short, whatever you write, they will perform! Even the sixth uncle can arrange other people to write the repertoire as long as he has an idea. If Uncle Six can do this, I will allow Uncle Six to become an official in the future and be in charge of brothels and theaters all over the world."

Zhu Youdun stayed away from politics because he suffered several ups and downs in a row in his youth, but it does not mean that he is willing to be raised like a pig in Kaifeng Palace for the rest of his life.

But this matter was no small matter, and he didn't dare to agree to it.

Zhu Zhanji didn't force him, and said softly: "The fifth patriarch worked hard and compiled "Baosheng Yulu", "Pocket Prescription", "Puji Prescription" and "Relief of Famine". The name of the fifth patriarch of the family will last forever. You should go back and discuss this matter with the fifth patriarch. I will go to sea next spring, and this trip will take a year or two. Just give me an answer when you come back."

He said eagerly, "If I go out to sea with you, I'm afraid I won't have the time to write songs."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Sixth Uncle can stay in the capital or Kaifeng as much as possible, and the king of Xiangfu County can go to sea with me."

The king of Xiangfu County, Zhu Youxi, was the fourth son of the concubine of the king of Zhou. The second son, Zhu Youxi, the king of Ruyang, reported the king of Zhou, which caused the king of Zhou to be abolished twice, reduced to a commoner, and distributed to Dali.The third son Zhu Youxuan, king of Shunyang, died of illness last year.

Zhu Youdun was ill, but he was capable of humanism but had no children.So although he is the son of the eldest son, the lineage of the king of Zhou in the future, after him, must be Zhu Youxuan's successor.

Until he walked out of the palace, Zhu Youdun was still a little out of his wits.His mood was very complicated, he was relaxed, excited, and stressed.

The easy thing is that he doesn't have to go to sea, and the exciting thing is that he is expected to be an official, but it also means risks. He doesn't know if he can bear this kind of pressure.

Although he did not directly agree to Zhu Zhanji, he specified that his father would definitely support this matter.Being able to publish the four books that took many years of hard work to the world, this alone is enough to make the old man desperate.

What's more, his father Zhou Wang was not a worry-free master.

After sending Zhu Youdun to Donghua Gate, Zhu Zhanji returned to Xingqing Palace and saw Xue Shanggong waiting at the porch. "The weather is getting colder, what's the rush, I can't even wait a few steps."

Xue Shanggong smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the maids stepped aside, leaving two people walking and talking. "His Royal Highness will go out again after the next year. This time, it will be more than a year. Naturally, there must be people around him to serve him. However, His Highness has to make an idea about how to arrange it."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at her and said with a smile: "Is there another concubine who has been bothering you recently?"

"This is the duty of a servant, how can it be troublesome? It's just that the grandson concubine and Hu Liangdi have just given birth to a child, and Lan Liangdi is also pregnant. The three of them can't accompany His Highness to go to sea, and the status of the others is lower. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my ground."

Zhu Zhanji hummed for a moment and asked, "What does the mother concubine mean?"

Xue Shanggong covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Of course the princess wants you to bring all the ones you haven't conceived, and when you come back, all of them will come back with big bellies."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head. With his identity, he didn't even want to be a stud (horse).

He thought for a while and said: "Liu Chenghui followed me on the eastward expedition. He acted well all the way, and he is proficient in medicine, so he can be of great use. This time, I will bring her with me. Ma Liangyuan is innocent and cute, and she is young. There is no need to rush to get her pregnant. , you can also bring it. The others are up to you..."

"Absolutely not!" Xue Shanggong said hastily: "Slaves are just servants, how can they be His Highness's home? Besides, if I am the master today, there will be no room for slaves in this palace from now on."

When Zhu Zhanji thought about it, it was true.If she made the decision, those concubines who were not arranged to go with Zhu Zhanji would not hate her to death!

It is intolerable for a servant to be in charge of the house.This kind of thing can't break the rules.

He didn't have any plans in his mind, so he felt in a dilemma, so he said, "There are still two months left, maybe I can conceive a few more during this time... Let me see..."

On the second day, Zhu Zhanji met Yang Zhangde who had returned to Beijing at the Navy Headquarters.I didn't have a chance to meet him yesterday, but today I just happened to talk to him about Zhu Youdun's request.

Yang Zhangde is cruel and daring, but he is also a shrewd and capable person.This is a sharp blade. If you use it well, you can hurt the enemy, but if you don't use it well, you can hurt your own hand.

However, Zhu Zhanji thinks he can still control him. In today's imperial power society, even if an eagle dog of Jinyiwei is an extremely human official like Ji Gang, his destructive power is limited.

He is not a civil servant who controls the government, one decision can affect the foundation of Ming Dynasty, nor is he a general who leads an army of tens of millions, who can raise troops to rebel and destroy the peace of one side.

All the powers of Jin Yiwei are for the service of the imperial power, and are tightly restricted by the imperial power, so it is not afraid that he will turn the world upside down.

After inquiring about his trip to Taiyuan this time, Zhu Zhanji pretended to inadvertently ask about Shaohong.

Although Zhu Zhanji's words were understated, Yang Zhangde heard them like thunder.As a superior, he would not care about the private life of a subordinate, and when the superior pays attention to this matter, there must be other reasons that he does not know.

He didn't dare to be sloppy, and he was even more afraid of guessing the meaning of Zhu Zhanji wrongly, so he could only say passively: "I have seen that Shaohong a few times, but I just admire it, and don't intend to monopolize it."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking casually. No matter how lenient I am, I can't control your internal affairs. But you have to remember, you have to be polite when doing things with me... If Shaohong If you accept it willingly, you will accept it, but if you rely on yourself as the commander of Jin Yiwei and bully others, I will not forgive you. Go..."

The more Zhu Zhanji was like this, the more guilty Yang Zhangde felt. Although he never felt sorry for Shaohong, his subordinates also revealed his interest in her intentionally or unintentionally, and Runxianglou also looked at Shaohong. Doing is your own taboo.

After walking out of the Navy Headquarters, his heart was still hanging and there was nowhere to go.His Highness is always busy, so of course he wouldn't specifically mention such a matter. Since he brought it up, there must be something that he didn't know about.

He looked back at Chu Song, and said, "Chu Qianhu, during the time I've been away from the capital, is there anything unusual in Runxiang Tower?"

Although Chu Song envied Yang Zhangde to quickly climb ahead of him, but the situation was like this, and he could clearly recognize his position. "My lord commander doesn't know that the prince of Zhou was ordered by the emperor to compose a new play in Runxiang Tower. It is said that the emperor will come in person. Now all the people in Runxiang Tower are preparing for this new play."

As the commander of Jin Yiwei, Yang Zhangde certainly has the basic information on the members of the royal family.King Zhu of Zhou is a compatriot with the current ascendant, and King Zhou has always firmly supported His Majesty, so Zhou Wangfu, Shuwangfu, Chuwangfu, and Ningwangfu, the four palaces that are close to the emperor, are not dared to be messed with by ordinary people.

Although they have no power in their hands, the emperor will never allow anyone to bully them.

Chu Song said again: "Master Commander, you know that yesterday afternoon the Taimiao clan meeting..."

This incident was triggered by Yang Zhangde and his team's investigation, so Yang Zhangde nodded affirmatively and said: "The evidence of King Jin's crimes is for me to find out, don't you know!"

Chu Song said with a smile: "But after the clan meeting, His Highness met Zhou Wangshizi alone, and invited Zhou Wangshizi to Xingqing Palace as a guest, and sent him away after dinner..."

Yang Zhangde understood, and stuffed a jade pendant into his sleeve. "Zhu Jixuan gave it to me. It is said that it is still the former Jin King's beloved. This time I sent it to Brother Chu. You are still by His Highness's side now, and you and my brothers often keep in touch..."

Chu Song touched the jade pendant in his sleeve, experienced the feel, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Prince of Zhou is a nerd and a theater idiot, Commander, remember not to give gold and silver. If there are a few playbooks, he will definitely like."

Thank you Great Ape King Gun, running with pigs, seeing people with lights, Da Sui Zhang Degong, niu913, thank you for your reward, thank you for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Since Wuchang Mansion got on the boat of the inner prison, the weather became gloomy, and at dawn the next day, there were snowflakes in the sky.

Although the temperature was cold, Sunan didn't feel the slightest bit of chill. He opened the window with oiled paper and wooden lattice, and let the bitter cold wind hit his chest.

"Old Su, you're crazy, you're freezing to death." Duan Renzhi, who was still curled up under the blanket, cursed with a smile, then curled up under the blanket again, covering his head.

Sunan looked enviously at the carefree Duan Renzhi, put on his robe, got up and went out to wash.

Both he and Duan Renzhi were from Jingzhou. Because their families were poor and could not afford to support them, they joined the army at the age of 16.

From the Dongting Navy to the Xinjiangkou Navy, and then became the First Fleet of Taisun's army, their identities have been changing, but the two brothers have never been separated.

As the eldest brother in the family, Sunan has been used to taking care of others since he was a child, while Duan Renzhi is the fourth eldest in the family and has always been heartless.

Because the two lived by the river since they were young, they are familiar with water, so they did well in the army.

Sunan fought bravely, raised the general flag earlier, and has been taking extra care of this brother who is not a brother.

This is not only because Duan Renzhi came out together with him, but also because Duan Renzhi is a lucky general even though he is greedy for life and afraid of death.

It was Duan Renzhi who found out during the bandit suppression during the Dongting Navy Division that they captured a group of water bandits, and he was promoted to the general banner.

He also believed that Duan Renzhi was his lucky general, so when he was transferred to the First Fleet, he found a relationship and brought Duan Renzhi, who was originally unqualified, to Xinjiangkou.

When they arrived at the First Fleet, they were the first batch of soldiers to change into muskets. In the battle against Japan, Duan Renzhi, a lucky general, really made great contributions.
