This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 1139 Using force to suppress others

Is there anything wrong with the emperor not returning to the capital? To be honest, for the officials in the court, apart from losing face, it actually did not have much impact.

Lu Hanjiang has been accustomed to being a hands-off boss over the years, and the court has gradually formed a model that can operate on its own even without an emperor.

For other emperors, this might have led to the crisis of being sidelined, but for an emperor who came from the Jinyiwei, this created unique conditions for him to slack off.

Although the old scholar still had to scold the empty emperor's throne every day when he went to court as usual, everyone was used to it. The old scholar was old and had a lot of experience, so he could scold as he pleased, and the emperor would only be scolded when he came, but they didn't need to make themselves uncomfortable.

As for the emperor's oral order sent all the way from Jiangnan, asking the crown prince to be regent, the old teacher scolded him severely. What could a child of such age do? Was he here to sit in a daze?

But since the emperor had spoken, the senior officials in the cabinet had no choice but to accept it and just take Prince Ding with them during the daily court meetings.

The confused little prince took on a heavy responsibility that he shouldn't have to bear at his age.

But the most confused person was not the old master, but his eldest disciple Qi Yunzhou.

The dean of the academy had taken great pains to get Princess Hualuan as his disciple, but he had never anticipated the difficulty of being the princess's teacher.

Qi Yunzhou was shocked when the princess moved into the academy on the first day. He watched as the ladies in the princess's palace bought several houses near the academy and quickly integrated and transformed them into the princess's temporary residence.

The beautiful rockery scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the birds and beasts in the north, the rare treasures in the west, as long as they could be found in the world, were all stuffed into the new house.

Princess Hualuan may not necessarily like to see these flowers and plants, and the backyard that can be used to open a zoo, but her family cannot do without them. Don't ask, the answer is that they have money.

In just half a month, an extremely luxurious mansion was built up at a speed that was jaw-dropping. It's not that no one has raised objections to the princess's excessive luxury, but even so, the officials in the court were blind and chose not to see it.

Anyway, the princess didn't spend any money from the national treasury to build her house. Given how wealthy Empress Yongle was, there was a chance that the national treasury would run out of money one day and the empress would have to be asked for generous donations. The court officials would not be so tactless as to make things uncomfortable for her.

So Qi Yunzhou accepted this very quickly. The Queen Mother was very wealthy, so it was understandable that she was willing to improve the teaching environment for her daughter. After all, she did not overturn his academy.

Princess Hua Luan is young and the apple of the emperor and empress's eye, so it is reasonable for her to be spoiled. However, what happens next begins to gradually refresh Qi Yunzhou's worldview.

Now that the accommodation problem has been solved, the next one is the food problem. Qi Yunzhou only found out today that the scale of Princess Hualuan's small kitchen is comparable to the imperial kitchen in the palace.

There were as many as six chefs who made buns for the princess. Each chef had different skills and the taste of the buns they made was also different. Thanks to the princess, Qi Yunzhou knew for the first time that meat buns could come in so many flavors.

It would have been fine if she had many ways to eat, but Princess Hualuan was also very picky about her meals. The little princess was afraid of heat, so when she ate a bun, she would bite off the skin a little and blow on it before eating. She would not start eating until the bun was at the right temperature.

So the chefs responsible for steaming buns for the princess did not steam them one basket at a time, but one at a time. They needed to adjust the speed of steaming the buns according to the princess's eating rhythm.

It would take at least an hour to finish a breakfast. Princess Hualuan's food and accommodation were so outrageous, and her clothes were not bad either. Most of the top clothing shops in the capital were owned by the Empress. If the princess had any new ideas, she could see the finished product in half an hour.

For a long time, the princess was the one who guided the dressing of the ladies and wives in the powerful circles in Beijing. After all, once you went out onto the street, the clothing stores were full of other people's leftovers.

This is the girl who grew up being pampered like this. On the first day Qi Yunzhou taught her, Hua Luan asked her this question.

"Teacher, my father used to be a royal guard, so his martial arts should be pretty good, right?" the little princess asked curiously.

"Your Majesty is an expert in martial arts and has no rivals in the world. You are truly the best in ancient and modern times," said Qi Yunzhou.

"Bullshit." The little princess curled her lips. She had heard such flattery too many times and didn't believe it at all.

"." Qi Yunzhou had no choice but to smile bitterly. If it was really flattery, it would be fine, but who would have thought that this nonsense of exaggerating martial arts was the truth.

"I also want to learn martial arts." Princess Hualuan said suddenly.

".What did your highness say?" Qi Yunzhou seemed not to hear clearly what the other party said for a moment.

The little princess said casually: "You don't have to teach me too much, just teach me to the point where I can easily defeat my father."

"." Qi Yunzhou said, you might as well just kill me with one blow and then ask for help from someone else.

But since the little princess had brought it up, it would seem that he was an unreliable teacher if he simply refused. So after thinking it over, he decided to teach her a trick.

"In that case, I will teach you swordsmanship." Qi Yunzhou asked the little boy to bring two swords, and specifically instructed that one of them should be a sample and not the real one, otherwise the little princess might not even be able to lift it.

After the sword arrived, Qi Yunzhou demonstrated an ordinary chopping move to Princess Hualuan. The little princess enthusiastically took the sword, which was as light as a feather, and chopped it crookedly.

Seeing this, Qi Yunzhou clapped his hands expressionlessly: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have mastered this move."

"Teacher, can you please be more careful when you are fooling people?" Princess Hua Luan said unhappily.

Qi Yunzhou said: "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, why not find a few people to try it out."

Hua Luan naturally didn't believe it, so Qi Yunzhou took her to the martial arts field of the academy. Although Confucian disciples attached great importance to the books of sages, all the disciples of the old master Luo Yuanjing were good at martial arts. They didn't require you to have high martial arts skills, but at least you could be weak.

There were quite a few students near the martial arts arena, all of them young. Hua Luan looked closely and found an acquaintance among them, the little monkey from the family of Yang Zhiyuan, the emperor's favorite.

Student Yang Xiao was originally in high spirits, but when he saw the dean coming, he quickly restrained his arrogant attitude. When he saw Princess Hua Luan following the dean, his face changed drastically and he immediately hid at the back of the crowd.

"Greetings, Dean." The students saluted.

Qi Yunzhou nodded: "This is the new student who entered the academy today. Who among you wants to compete with her?"

The students looked at each other and someone stood up immediately.

"I come!"

The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he shouldn't have tried to steal the limelight and compete with the little girl, but when he thought about being able to show his face in front of the dean, he didn't care about that anymore.

When the two men came onto the stage, Hua Luan couldn't even hold the sword steadily. The man said "Please give me some advice" and easily knocked the sword out of his hand.

"Junior sister, thank you for letting me." The man bowed respectfully, then turned around and walked off the stage.

  Hua Luan turned around and glared at Qi Yunzhou. Sure enough, the teacher was fooling her! How could anyone become a master of martial arts after practicing it for just a short while?

Qi Yunzhou calmly glanced at Yang Xiaoxue, a student in the corner of the crowd. Yang understood and calmly came to the side of the young man.

"Brother Liu is good at martial arts." Student Yang praised.

Although the young man looked pleased, he still said modestly: "Brother Yang, you are too kind. Junior sister is very young, and I am only superior to her because of my age."

"Brother Liu's majesty today will surely make His Majesty happy when he learns about it in the future."

As the boy looked at him in confusion, Yang Xiao approached him and whispered, "This is Princess Hua Luan."

The young man's face changed suddenly when he heard this, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the blood in his body instantly turned cold. Princess Hua Luan was still denouncing Qi Yunzhou, saying that he was unreliable, when the young man suddenly yelled.

"Dean!"

The young man returned to the stage excitedly and almost shouted, "Dean! The duel between my student and my junior sister just now seemed to have made some progress. I beg the dean to allow us to compete again!"

Qi Yunzhou nodded, and then said to Princess Hualuan: "Go."

Princess Hua Luan frowned: "Okay, I'll trust you again for now."

The two men returned to the stage and followed the same process. The young man attacked first, preparing to knock Hua Luan's sword away, but at the moment when their swords intersected, the young man suddenly screamed and rolled three feet away with his sword.

The crowd exclaimed in amazement, and the young man stood up with difficulty: "Junior sister, your martial arts skills are extraordinary, I admire you even though I am not good at learning!"

This scene made Hua Luan's eyes widen. She was not a stupid person who could be easily fooled, but the move Qi Yunzhou taught her was indeed to her liking. After stepping down from the stage, she walked up to Qi Yunzhou with great interest and said, "Teacher, the sword technique you taught is quite interesting. What is the name of this sword?"

"Use your power to suppress others." Qi Yunzhou said calmly.

Princess Hualuan curved her eyebrows and said, "I like this name."
