King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 154 Don't Be a Good Baby

It never occurred to Zhen Qin that the future husband in her fantasy had already met twice.

Seeing that Zhen Qin was stunned, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile, "What? You're going to move out your aunt again, and you plan to give me an official job?"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong's playful smile for someone with such a status, Zhen Qin felt very ashamed and wished to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

Her real purpose was to choose the princess, but now she exposed her "unbearable" side in front of the future prince.

"He won't think that I have a bad personality and like to bully others?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid the princess won't be selected this time. My sisters in the family have all congratulated me!"

"If you go back here, you won't be laughed to death!"

The more she thought about it, the more shameful and anxious Zhen Qin became. For a moment, tears welled up in her eyes, looking pitiful.

No way, it's just a joke, she doesn't think I'm bullying her, does she?Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.

The froze scene at this moment made Zhen Qi very anxious, and reminded again: "Sister, this is the Thirteenth Master, so hurry up and see you!"

"Minister girl Zhen Qin, pay my respects to Lord Thirteen!"

Seeing that Zhen Qin was full of grievances, Zhu Jinghong really didn't understand her brain circuit, so he said, "Excuse me, get up!"

Zhen Qi got up, hooked her waist and replied: "Thank you Thirteenth Master, my little sister has never seen the world, so I ask Thirteenth Master to forgive me!"

After hearing this, Zhen Qin felt even more uncomfortable. Her image was already bad, and her brother's words were like stepping on her again.

Can this princess still be chosen?Zhen Qin was extremely desperate.

Even at this juncture, she still took a sneak peek at Zhu Jinghong, wanting to see clearly the shortcomings of Zhu Jinghong's appearance, so as to comfort herself and reduce her losses.

But it turned out that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Jinghong's appearance, and his heroic spirit was even more eye-catching. Not only did Zhen Qin not reduce her losses, but she felt that she would lose a lot if she didn't marry.

To be honest, it is a very strange thing that ancient society can grow such thinking as hers.

"It's okay...you guys are going to see the concubine, so just do what you want!"

"Yes...student farewell!"

Zhen Qi felt amnesty, took her sister and left.

After walking a dozen steps away, Zhen Qin couldn't help but look back at Zhu Jinghong, feeling even more uncomfortable in her heart.

I have missed all the details, how can I maintain my image of a lady in the future, how can I have the face to run for the princess, and it is embarrassing to get along as a husband and wife...

Zhu Jinghong didn't know that someone had thought so much about him.

At this moment, he yelled twice, and the guards beating up the Japanese stopped, but they were all beaten into pig heads.

Not to mention going to an audience, if they can walk after lying down for a month, it will be considered that they have recovered.

Several people were lying on the ground, the pain in their bodies made them wail endlessly.

Walking towards the beaten people, Zhu Jinghong stopped in front of Okamoto Hidetoshi, the toes of his boots were only a few centimeters away from his nostrils.

Looking down at Okamoto Yingyuan and the others, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "You savages, you dare to be arrogant in my Ming Dynasty. Today, I will teach you... what is the rule!"

"Come on!"

"The Thirteenth Master ordered!" A group of drunks answered quickly.

"Drag out!"

"Yes!"

Officials from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward again and advised, "Master Thirteen, absolutely not..."

Glancing at the other party, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Do you think they can still meet my father with their appearance?"

"This……"

"These Japanese are fearful of power but not virtuous. How much evil have they committed in the southeast? Do you know?"

Glancing at the officials from the Ministry of Rites who disagreed, Zhu Jinghong said to himself: "They dared to be so rampant and presumptuous when they arrived in the forbidden zone today. It would be considered light to beat him up. If I hadn't been in a good mood today..."

"They must be killed!"

Not to mention, although his reputation in Beijing is not very good, his majesty is indeed deep, and the last sentence brings out a strong sense of oppression.

Walking in front of the officials from the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "Of course, what I said may not be correct. You can also tell my father that what you think is the truth is just..."

He reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, and Zhu Jinghong suppressed his smile: "We can't be friends anymore!"

Help, I'm just a small head of the Ministry of Rites, how dare I be the enemy of your thirteenth master... The officials of the Ministry of Rites wailed in their hearts.

Although civil servants pay attention to integrity, they are still a minority after all. Now that the emperor is powerful, there are even fewer.

"Master Thirteen, I also feel that this group of people is too rude, and dared to attack you... You have forgiven them if you didn't kill them!"

From the beginning to the end, the head of the Ministry of Rites didn't care about the life and death of the Japanese, he just wanted to complete the task and bring them back.

In the current world view, the Ming Dynasty was so powerful that all nations came to the dynasty, and Japan was not taken seriously from the ruling and opposition parties to the people.

"now it's right……"

Zhu Jinghong smiled, which relieved the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Seeing Hideyo Okamoto and the others being dragged away, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Shi Nianxing, head of the Ministry of Rites!"

Zhu Jinghong replied: "Very well, I remember you!"

After finishing speaking, the sound of drum music came from the direction of Fengtianmen, which meant that the Great Court Meeting was over.

"Go ahead...I have to meet the Holy Majesty so that he can punish these madmen!"

"Yes Yes!"

Shi Nianxing was eager to leave, but he was still a little worried that Okamoto's death would affect his performance of duties.

After Shi Nianxing left, Zhu Jinghong also tidied up his sleeves and rushed towards Qianqing Palace.

Objectively speaking, what he did today is really absurd, and Zhu Jinghong has no other choice.

The current situation is that the crown prince is fighting like a raging fire with Prince Rui, no matter the outcome, it has nothing to do with him.

If he is willing to be a good baby, or devote himself to practicing martial arts like his predecessor, he will basically miss the throne.

At that time, no matter who is in power, his life may not be easy.

Yes, he can't even trust the benevolent prince.

If he didn't want to hand over his fate to others, Zhu Jinghong had to struggle.

At least when Zhu Xianming was in power, no matter how hard he tried, his life could be saved. After all, he had the amulet of the queen.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong didn't regret beating up the Japanese today, and he felt that he was kind-hearted if he didn't kill these people.

"Later, let's talk about it first, then talk about suppressing Japan, and then propose naval construction by the way, and then..."

Today's Daming Navy can be said to be better than nothing, so he has been thinking about the idea of ​​​​naval construction for a long time in his heart.

I beat the Japanese today, so I can just say these things, and it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

Now that the European powers are vying for territory all over the world, the importance of the navy can be imagined.

Ming has fallen behind the times, and if it does not increase its naval investment as soon as possible, it will only be more difficult to catch up in the future.

"To restore the regret of the times, this is the historical mission of the traversers, so..."

"I don't really want to be emperor, I just do it out of necessity!"

Inside the palace wall, Zhu Jinghong murmured in a low voice, not forgetting to put a high hat on himself at this time.
