The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 222 Rescue
Hu Shanxiang was left to settle in the small courtyard, and Li Yu first went to the courtyard where Sun Ruowei was detained.

Except for a palace maid to take care of her here, Li Yu didn't arrange anyone to guard her. This stupid woman is not so stupid. Knowing that her companion and adoptive father were both caught by Jin Yiwei, she didn't dare to choose to escape.

Just stay here, eat when you're offered, and curse when you're done.

Scolding Li Yu, now she has already known Li Yu's grandson status, but so what?

She dared to stab Zhu Di, but she would be afraid of a grandson?
"Seeing your ruddy complexion and good spirits, I'm relieved." Li Yu grabbed Sun Ruowei's arm and pulled her closer to him.

"Dog thief!" Sun Ruowei gritted his teeth, cursed with wide eyes.

"You still have the strength to swear, this is in the palace, your bad temper is not good, you have to change." Li Yu sneered, and let go of her wrist: "One more curse, I will go to Jinyiwei Prison to take a head for you to see , let me think about it, is it Xu Bin, or Nie Xing?"

"You dare!"

"I don't dare. If you don't believe me, you can try to curse again?"

This tame horse can't talk softly as soon as it comes up, it will only make the horse push its nose to the face, first let her know the majesty of the royal family, know the fear, and act cautiously when she is afraid.

Sun Ruowei didn't dare to bet, shut his mouth, turned his head aside, and stopped looking at Li Yu.

"From today on, teach her the rules of the palace, and take an exam every three days." Li Yu ordered the maid who invited Sun Ruowei to serve her.

Sun Ruo snorted coldly angrily: "I don't want to learn any bullshit rules!"

"Okay, whatever you want!" Li Yu was not angry at all: "Anyway, the exam is held every three days. If you don't study well, the head of Xu Bin or Nie Xing will appear in front of you the next day."

"You! Despicable!"

"Don't abuse her. If she doesn't learn, then let her do what she wants, just report to me." Li Yu ignored her, but told the maid.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Grandson, the servants have made a note."

"I forgot to tell you. I have begged His Majesty. Grandpa promised that if Jianwen is willing to come out, he will pardon your companions in the prison who are regarded as abandoned sons. You can pray for them."

"You are so kind?" Sun Ruowei had a strange look in his eyes.

"Believe it or not." Li Yu was too lazy to explain, got up and rubbed Sun Ruowei's hair suddenly, and sighed: "Your sister is much more sensible than you, oh, she is also prettier than you!"

"Man Yin, Man Yin, do you know where my sister is?" As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, Sun Ruowei rushed forward like a madman, and knelt down at Li Yu's feet with a plop.

Having been separated for ten years, Sun Ruowei was always concerned about her sister, and had inquired about her many times, but in the end she found nothing.Now that she actually learned about her sister from Taisun, Sun Ruowei seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, as if she had found a treasure.

"I beg you, tell me about Man Yin."

Sun Ruowei's voice was full of tears, and she looked up pitifully and begged.

I rely on!Li Yu was ruthless, and "struggled" to break free, really can't see this.

Although Sun Ruowei is not as beautiful as Hu Shanxiang, she is also very good-looking. She looks very sunny and cheerful, and she is a good-looking type. At this time, she is kneeling pitifully, with tears in her eyes. Coupled with her lovely and pitiful expression, she directly It can arouse Li Yu's desire to conquer.

This rouge horse is untouchable now!

"When did you learn the rules, when will I take you to meet your sister!"

After leaving a sentence, Li Yu "fleeed away".

After returning to the small courtyard, he drank two cups of tea before suppressing the evil fire in his heart; calling Hu Shanxiang over, Li Yu couldn't help thinking of something crooked in his mind.

Shaking his head, discarding the things in his mind that couldn't be played, Li Yu took Hu Shanxiang to the front hall to find Zhang Yan.

"Mother, please do two things." Li Yu giggled and squatted beside Zhang Yan's legs.

"Tell me, I'm busy here."

Zhang Yan was using the account book to calculate the expenses of the Prince's Mansion, and the more she calculated, the more frowning she became.

Li Yu beat his legs to greet his relatives: "Mother, my grandfather allowed me to train soldiers, but I lack a venue. I have taken a fancy to the Huangzhuang on the other side of Zhongshan Mountain in our Prince's Mansion, and I want to use it for a while."

"Okay, I'll ask the eunuch in charge to find you later, and it's up to you, but it's almost autumn harvest now, so don't delay it."

Huangzhuang is related to the income of the Prince's Mansion, and it is the biggest income; of course, the majestic Prince's Mansion is not limited to this one Huangzhuang, Shuntian, Yingtian, Shandong, Jiangsu... Basically, there are all over the country.

All these lands add up to more than 20 mu of land.

It looks like a lot, but the income is really not much.The rent in Huangzhuang is lower than outside, otherwise the common people will scold them; the eunuchs are in charge, so why don’t eunuchs smoke some things; plus natural disasters and other uncertain factors, the annual income is only more than [-] guan.Counting the imperial store in the Prince's Mansion, salary, His Majesty's rewards, etc., it is just enough for the annual expenses, and there is not even much money for rewards for the servants, so it is considered relatively tight.

Otherwise, the dignified concubine, the most noble woman in Ming Dynasty, is not one of them, so how can she be like this?
"Mother, after two months, I'll give you a large sum of money as filial piety, so that you, like Second Aunt, can give you a handful of golden beans as a reward."

However, it is really not difficult for the traversers to make money, especially the powerful grandsons.

"You, don't make me happy for your mother." Zhang Yan rolled her eyes angrily, and continued to make calculations in her hands.

Li Yu didn't explain, anyway, it's enough to pay the money to Xiaojing when the time comes; after helping the old lady hammer a few times, Li Yu pointed at Hu Shanxiang, and begged:
"She is very clever and has a good temper. The girl from Hu Shangyi's family is the one who was protected by her son when she was a child. She grew up in the palace since she was a child. She knows everything. Let her follow you and learn from her?"

As for what to learn, Li Yu didn't say clearly, but Zhang Yan obviously understood what his son meant.

What can one learn from being with the princess who rules the harem and the mother of the world?Learn how to be a female officer?Those things, just learn from Hu Shangyi, why bother to work for the princess?
Zhang Yanna is a generation of virtuous queens, not to mention other things, just look at how well she manages the harem, has been praised by the old man many times, and is the most valued daughter-in-law of the old man, this is obvious.

Li Yu asked his old lady to train Hu Shanxiang herself, in order to teach by precept and example, so that there will be no chaos in his harem in the future.

"come over."

Just as Li Yu finished speaking, Zhang Yan suddenly stopped the abacus in her hand.

This is too big, she has to look at it first.

Beckoning, Hu Shanxiang obediently stepped forward and knelt down.

"Stand up and turn around slowly."

Hu Shanxiang didn't understand, so he didn't understand what kind of charades the two women were playing, so he could only follow the order of the princess, get up slowly, and spun around in a circle.

Zhang Yan had met Hu Shanxiang before, and every time Hu Shangyi came to play something, she often brought Hu Shanxiang over, but now Zhang Yan looked at Hu Shanxiang differently.

At that time, Hu Shanxiang was just a little maid in the palace, and her adoptive mother was Shang Yi, the highest ranking female official, so what?A palace lady is just a palace lady, does the Crown Princess care about this?

But now she is the woman his son likes, and she may be his future daughter-in-law.Zhang Yan's eyes naturally changed, observing with the eyes of a mother-in-law examining her daughter-in-law.

"It's good to have a small appearance and a delicate appearance. The palace is most afraid of foxes." Zhang Yan muttered, with a smile on her face.

Dad likes Hu Meizi the most, and he even took two of them not long ago.Li Yu secretly laughed, the first half of what my mother said was praising Hu Shanxiang, and the second half was blaming my father.

After thinking about it for a while, it was another scolding.

"Have you ever read a book?"

"Back to the Crown Princess, my aunt has taught my servants, and my servants have also studied in the Shangyi Bureau. They have read the Four Books and Five Classics, Biography of Women, The Analects of Confucius, Empress Renxiao's internal training, and books on exhorting good people."

The imperial palace not only has 24 yamen, but also has six bureaus and one department in charge of the maids. The highest status is the Shanggong Bureau, which is responsible for guiding the central palace, mainly responsible for managing documents, conveying the imperial edict of the queen or queen mother, and responsible for various celebrations in the harem. , Shang Gong is generally served by the maids around the queen.At present, there is no empress in Ming Dynasty, and the Shang Palace is empty.

The second is the Shangyi Bureau, which is responsible for educating female officials and maintaining the ritual and music system of the harem. In addition to these, Hu Shangyi also assisted the princess Zhang Yan in managing the harem and assumed the actual responsibilities of the harem.

"He's well-educated." Zhang Yan's eyes lingered slightly on Hu Shanxiang's buttocks: "It's not bad, it looks like it can give birth to a son."

According to folklore, big buttocks are good for fertility.

Hu Shanxiang's cheeks turned red.

"Mom, are you agreeing?"

"Well," Zhang Yan nodded: "Leave it alone, my mother will arrange to send the name card and birthday horoscope to the Ministry of Rites."

"Thank you, mother and concubine." Li Yu bowed solemnly, got up and explained to Hu Shanxiang: "When I walk outside the palace in the future, you will follow my mother, watch more, remember more, and learn more. , Say less, understand?"

"Yes, this servant has written it down." Hu Shanxiang's little heart was thumping, and her face was flushed with dryness. At this moment, she finally understood what His Royal Highness Grandson meant!
Hu Shanxiang is an "ambitious" woman, and she is not willing to spend her life peacefully in the palace like her aunt. What's more, after being rescued by His Royal Highness Taisun when she was a child in the chaos of war, she has long been secretly in love with her grandson. It can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, so he was naturally happy and excited in his heart.

But also keep in mind my aunt's teachings, and remind myself over and over again not to get carried away.

"You don't need to call yourself a slave in the future."

Servant, that is the self-proclaimed palace maid and eunuch. Hu Shanxiang’s status is different now. She is considered a “show girl” approved by the crown princess, or a “semi-appointed” one. Once the process is completed, she will be the master of the palace, and she is already qualified to call herself "Concubine" or "concubine body".

A self-proclaimed change, with a stark difference in status.

After finishing these two things, Li Yu left Hu Shanxiang to study beside his old lady, and went back to the small courtyard by himself.

After sending away the servants, Li Yu fetched a pen and paper, and began to write vigorously.

What Li Yu wrote was just before coming to this world, based on some materials he consulted and some papers he referred to, he compiled a memorial about the Jianwen New Deal.

However, in the memorial, some of the good aspects of the Jianwen New Deal are all summed up in the spring and Autumn style, focusing on the shortcomings of the Jianwen New Deal, and how the Emperor Jianwen was mean and ungrateful, treated his relatives harshly, violated the ancestral system, and committed violence in the world, etc. aspect.

It's not enough to just say bad things. Li Yu also listed various data in the playbook for comparison, making the playbook look quite credible.

At the end of the playbook, Li Yu also stood in the perspective of the great grandfather, and deeply analyzed how the great grandfather would react if he knew that Zhu Yunwen was so "perverse" after he ascended the throne.

All in all, the central idea is that the battle of Jingnan is not a rebellion, it is to set things right, it is to save Zhu from tomorrow, and to save all the people in the world!

This is to be presented to the old man, and Li Yu intends to use this to ease the old man's heart disease.

The old man raised his troops and killed Zhu Yunqi. The older he got, the more guilty he felt. He often dreamed that the great grandfather cut himself with a knife.

The old man is not consciously ashamed of Zhu Yunqi, what a joke, he was forced by Zhu Yunqi to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and ran to the pigsty to eat pig food, would he feel guilty about Zhu Yunqi?He felt sorry for his great grandfather, and even more so for Prince Yiwen!

One is his own father, and the other is the eldest brother who brought him up since he was a child, who is also a father and brother!

Of course, the guilt is the guilt, the old man is not soft at all, Zhu Yunxie and Zhu Yunxie of Yiwen's lineage, as well as Zhu Yunqiu's son Zhu Wengui, were imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang. , A fire broke out in the mansion a few years ago, and he was burned to death.

A county king can't escape even if his mansion is on fire?If it is said that the old man has no hands and feet, Li Yu will be the first to not believe it!
After doing so many things that I'm sorry to my elder brother, can the old man not feel guilty about having nightmares?

But there is no way, Li Yu is from the lineage of King Yan and has vested interests, so of course he has to help the old man speak.

Submitting this playbook, surely the guilt in the old man's heart can be relieved a little, right?

In the evening, Li Yu had just finished writing the melody and sealed it. Little Nose sent someone over to rumor that Jin Rong's two godsons were killed with sticks; Sun Wanwan had his own thoughts, and he felt that he had committed a taboo, so he went to Gong Zhengsi to collect ten court sticks, and it was said that his skin was torn to pieces, and half his life was lost.

"Qiu Shi, go and tell Hu Shanxiang, let her go to the library to pick up some tonics and send them to the Shangyi Bureau, and tell Hu Shangyi that this was rewarded by the grandson, and it is not an example."

Hu Shangyi used herself, and Li Yu felt a little uncomfortable, but because she is Hu Shanxiang's adoptive mother and the chief manager of his old mother, she has worked hard for many years, and Li Yu didn't want to care about her. I didn't expect Hu Shangyi to be so knowledgeable, which is rare.

the next morning.

Early in the morning, Li Yu took Ma San Ma Si to the military battle bureau, holding the token given by the old man, and went all the way unimpeded.

The sound of clanging and beating in the military battle bureau can be heard endlessly. As an emperor who likes to fight, the military battle bureau under Zhu Di's command is naturally building weapons and armor all the time, ready for the next war at any time.

Under the leadership of the palm print eunuch, Li Yu looked around, focusing on the manufacturing method of the firecracker.

Daming is world-leading in science and technology, and has all kinds of primitive water power, power storage, and human processing equipment in the Bingzhan Bureau, plus a large number of experienced craftsmen.

Even, Li Yu has steel pipes, springs, and various hard alloy knives in his hands, which are enough to meet various tasks such as drilling, cutting, and rifling; with these raw materials and tools, even a fledgling craftsman can process according to the drawings. It is enough to make the flintlock and bullets Li Yu needs.

Li Yu handed over the drawings of the flintlock gun and Mini bombs, as well as two seamless steel pipes, to the eunuch of the Bingzheng Bureau, and ordered them to be built according to the drawings. After they were made, they would be notified immediately, and ordered to be kept strictly confidential at this time, and leakage was strictly prohibited.

After the palm print eunuch responded in panic, Li Yu was planning to go to the gunpowder department under the Bingzhan Bureau to check the manufacturing situation of Daming gunpowder. Maybe he could give advice to the craftsmen to improve the optimal ratio of black powder and make granule gunpowder. Cheng Xiang, before he got out of the battle, he was stopped by the eunuch sent by his father.

The old man sent someone to pass the message that early in the morning, the old man was making trouble again, and he was anxiously waiting for the emperor's grandson to come to rescue him.
