King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 301

The left and right Xiaowuwei, and the left and right Habayashi guards are what the emperor called the Northern Four Guards.

"Jiang Qingsheng, Liu Yudong, Li Shunyi, Song Run..."

The four people who were pointed out were the commanders of the Northern Four Guards. At this moment, they all walked out of the train and knelt respectfully in front of the imperial case.

"Chen is here!"

"For this military parade, all sergeants are selected from your army. These people are familiar with the methods of training. You must make good use of this group of people and train a strong army under your command!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Xianming became more serious: "I made it clear, whoever trains the best among you will be promoted to the deputy commander next year!"

Although the pro-army commander is the emperor's confidant, he is only a fourth-rank military attache after all, and everyone wants to make his official bigger.

Zhu Xianming's deputy commander in chief of the Beijing camp was a military attache of the third rank, and then he rose up to be the governor.

It is more useful than saying [-] sentences directly, and the four people who were pointed out suddenly became excited, and there was a competitive situation among them.

"The ministers will definitely go all out,"

However, at the scene, Zhu Jinghong was not very happy, because this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him.

But at this time, it's not easy for him to speak up, otherwise the meaning of arrogating power will be too obvious.

"If it's nothing to do with me, wouldn't these days be wasted?" Zhu Jinghong groaned in his heart.

"Old Thirteen... You are the founder, and you are the most proficient in military training. In the future, you can go to the Northern Four Guards to teach them, and you must strictly train the soldiers according to the military parade!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhu Jinghong finally breathed a sigh of relief, the old man finally did not forget him.

"Father... don't worry, no one knows how to train soldiers better than my son!"

When saying this, Zhu Jinghong made a standard accordion movement, and his face was full of confidence.

Hearing him speak so arrogantly, Zhu Xianming almost didn't choke on the tea, but when he thought it was Zhu Jinghong who said it, he didn't feel that it was against harmony.

"Really? I will come to check in a few days. If you can't meet my requirements, you are ready to suffer the court rod!"

"Then you're going to be disappointed, I'm afraid the son of Tingzhang won't be able to stand it!"

In a formal discussion scene, Zhu Jinghong was the only one in the world who could joke with the emperor like this.

"He said that he wanted to disappoint me, you all heard it... If I am not satisfied then, you all have to come and see him when he is hit by the court stick!"

The emperor's tone was relaxed at the moment, and everyone knew that he was in a good mood, so they all laughed along, making the atmosphere in the hall very lively.

"Okay... this is the end of today's discussion, you all step back!"

When everyone saluted and left, Zhu Xianming said again: "The old thirteen stay here!"

Soon, apart from the eunuchs standing like wooden stakes in the hall, only Zhu Jinghong and his son were left.

"Three days later, that is, the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, I will have a sutra banquet... You, the fourteenth, and the fifteenth must be there!"

"Listen clearly... If you can't answer the exam at that time, you will receive [-] court rods and be grounded for a month!"

Hearing of the one-month confinement, Zhu Jinghong suddenly felt uncomfortable, and immediately replied: "Father... you asked me to watch the training, how can my son watch the one-month confinement?"

"So you've decided that you won't be able to pass the exam in three days?"

"No, no, no... my son is just worried, afraid of missing the court's important affairs!" Zhu Jinghong quickly defended.

"For military training, it will take some days just to get ready, and it's nearly a year now... and the training won't yield much results, so you don't need to watch now!"

This makes sense. Soldiers participating in the review can start training with some simple content in the early training, and Zhu Jinghong doesn't need to mix it up at all.

"Yes!"

"The end of the year is approaching, you'd better be honest with me!"

"Yes!"

"Go down!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Jinghong also understood that as long as he is in a better mood, the old man will always try to mess up his mentality.

Today's result is obviously another repetition of his old tricks.

Walking out of the Qianqing Gate, Zhu Jinghong said with emotion: "People have to bow their heads under the low eaves!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong rushed to Chengming Court, he thought it was better to put on a show, and just leave it to fate after the feast and examination.

While he was holding his feet temporarily, Chen Zhi, who went to visit Kunning Palace, returned to the palace with great disappointment.

Obviously with the queen, she didn't get a word out of it.

Chen Zhi was sad in her heart, and Zhu Jingyuan was also feeling uncomfortable at the moment.

In the study, looking at his wife who came in and took a seat, Zhu Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "The news just came that the old man plans to train in the North Four Guards, and let the old thirteen be in charge of supervision!"

"For such an important thing as military training, why does the old thirteen come to supervise? How old is he!" Chen Zhi looked surprised.

"In terms of military affairs, the old thirteen has some means. He has proved his ability in Jinling's suppression of Japanese and Shanglinyuan's military training!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jingyuan said with a sad face: "What I'm worried about...is the old man's plan!"

"In the past few months, the old man has arranged so many errands, which made the old thirteen stand out... tell me, what is the old man's plan?"

"Even the House of the Five Armies and the bodyguards discussed together, and they all have the intention of letting the old thirteen preside over... Is the old man going to support the old thirteen?"

Chen Zhi also thought about this question seriously, but in the end she couldn't judge it.

After a few breaths of silence, Chen Zhi replied: "The old thirteen has such a temperament, let him meddle in the position of the crown prince... I don't think it is possible with the wisdom and wisdom of the Holy One!"

Zhu Jinghong acted recklessly, without the appearance of a master, let him participate in the battle for the crown prince, unless the old man is crazy... Zhu Jingyuan thought so.

Thinking about it this way, he was much less worried. At the same time, he felt that he should win over this little brother, and he must not let him be used by the prince.

"I heard that Shui Rong brought some good horses back from the north, let him bring them over to have a look when he comes to Beijing, and if there are any useful ones, I will keep them for the old thirteen..." Zhu Jingyuan read in a low voice.

Now that the crown prince is also looking for a horse, Zhu Jingyuan feels a sense of urgency, and he doesn't want to be left behind.

Looking at his sullen-looking wife, Zhu Jingyuan asked, "Why are you frowning?"

"Today, the Queen Mother summoned Yuan Chun, and I don't know what she said around the screen, which made me feel uneasy all the time!"

Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile: "In the past, there were many summons, it's nothing important, why do you care so much!"

"I always feel that something is going on, and it will be bad for us!" Chen Zhi felt so intuitively.

Getting up from behind the book case, Zhu Jingyuan walked up to Chen Zhi, supported her shoulders and said, "Our suspicious appearance is the mediocrity mentioned in the book!"

…………

Zhu Jingyuan was very unhappy, and his deadly rival, the crown prince, was also not happy, because his side concubine Wang Yi sued Yuan Chun.

After Wang Yi cried, the prince rushed to Yuanchun's palace to express his dissatisfaction.

"On weekdays you are prudent, why are you so presumptuous today?"

"In front of the servants, the two side concubines quarreled. Could it be that people say that the East Palace is restless, and that I am not strict in managing the family!"

At this moment, Zhu Jingyuan was very disappointed, Yuan Chun had failed his trust.

"Your Highness, this concubine knows her mistake and is willing to be punished..."

Yuan Chun didn't make any excuses, because she really didn't control her temper today, which is not in line with the tolerance that a princess should have.

Yuan Chun was very worried at this moment, if the empress found out at this time, she felt that she was too unsteady and too reckless, and she would be spared the position of crown princess, then it would be really worth the candle.

Seeing Yuan Chun's remorse, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't bear it again, thinking that he had spoken too harshly.

He is a very good man, so he went on to say: "From now on... it must not be like this!"

"The concubine understands!" Yuan Chun replied.

At this moment, she was thinking whether to tell the prince what the queen meant.

In the end, Yuan Chun still held back, she really didn't want to make troubles.
