King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 306
The dress that the queen mentioned was a gift only for women of the first rank and above, and it was really a great courtesy to reward Baochai.

"My daughter's virtue is shallow... how dare you accept such a generous gift from your mother!" Baochai knelt down quickly, she would not be overwhelmed by joy.

The queen smiled and said: "What kind of shallow virtue, it's just a piece of clothing, how can you say that!"

This banquet is indeed precious, but to the royal family... it is really just a piece of clothing.

This explains why Wu Xun's family wants to send their daughter in, so that they can get the moon first.

Compared to relying on her husband's meritorious deeds and stepping up to get rewards step by step, it is too easy to receive gifts by the queen's side.

"My daughter..."

Before Baochai could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Yang Qingyin: "Okay... go and get Sheng'er's copybook and let me have a look!"

"Yes!"

Baochai had no choice but to get up and leave. Although she was still calm on the surface, she was extremely happy in her heart.

Not to mention the peace and tranquility here, on the way back from the Wenhua Palace to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xianming's ears were almost deaf.

"Father... what my son said just now is really not nonsense, you have to try it out if it will work or not!"

"How do you say that sentence, if you have dates or not, you should hit three shots first, you don't even understand this truth!"

Following the emperor's sedan chair, Zhu Jinghong kept saying that he really wanted to speak at this moment.

He is the only one who can pester the emperor for advice like this.

The Crown Prince and Prince Rui, who are both his sons, slipped away after the sutra feast was over, so they would not want to stay with the emperor to suffer bad luck.

"Old Thirteen, you have never stopped talking, believe it or not, I will punish you for a crime of disrespect?" The emperor was impatient.

"Are those Westerners you mentioned really that powerful?"

"Why do you want to learn their casting skills? Although my Ming Dynasty is a bit inferior...but it's not impossible to make. I don't need to learn from a bunch of barbarians. It's not surprising to have such thoughts, because this is the current The mainstream, the mentality of the heaven and the kingdom made Daming very confident.

However, as the emperor said, the manufacturing technology of firearms has a tendency to lag behind that of the West, and warships are even worse.

"Father... I'm going to be the king tomorrow, and I want to be number one in everything. How can I allow the barbarians to be better than us!"

Since the mentality of Shangguo was at work, Zhu Jinghong planned to take advantage of this to force the old man to be the first in everything.

"Father...you don't have such ambitions, do you?"

Dare to give the emperor a provocative method, this is really a courageous person, how dare other people speak like this.

At this moment, Zhu Xianming was so annoyed that he said immediately: "You are so powerful...then go make a fuss on your own, I don't have time to mess around with you, so get out of here now!"

"Father...that's what you said, my son will take the order now!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, old man, my son will definitely create a gun that can shoot farther and more accurately. By then, I, Ming, will have this magical weapon, and I will be able to search for wealth all over the world!"

"Father, your money bag is full, and your waist will become stiff when you speak. Then you will beat anyone who refuses to accept it!"

That's right, Zhu Jinghong is painting cakes for the emperor, and he has already become familiar with this skill.

"Shut up, get the hell out of here, I'll get angry when I see you!" Zhu Xianming scolded.

"Father... son, say the last sentence, and I'll get out!"

"Say it now!"

"It always takes a little money to make this thing, and it needs a special place. In a few days, my son will write a note and come up. How about your approval?"

"Let's write it down and talk about it!"

"Hey... my son bid farewell!"

Finally, Zhu Jinghong got out and left, which made Zhu Xianming sober up.

After he calmed down, he couldn't help thinking about Zhu Jinghong's words, and when he thought about it carefully, he felt very funny.

His superior position is not glorious, so he is eager to make contributions to prove that he is the destiny.

There is nothing more to be admired and praised by the world than to expand the territory and oppress the nations.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xianming couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "This old thirteen is also training soldiers and making guns and cannons. He is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

"Snatching things... how can you say it so bluntly, it should be said to promote Wang Hua!"

"Let all the four corners of the world be educated by the Daming king, it is the duty of the king!"

When Zhu Xianming started to think wildly, Zhu Jinghong had already returned to Chengming Courtyard and ordered Deng An to send a message to Xue Pan that he would meet those foreigners in two days.

After Deng An left, Zhu Jinghong came to the desk, picked up a pen, frowned and thought hard.

The matter of making guns has been put on the agenda, he must get on the right track as soon as possible, and strive to create weapons with higher craftsmanship as soon as possible.

At that time, take advantage of the situation and equip them to the North Four Guards, and then let them go out to fight a beautiful battle, Zhu Jinghong's method of training and strengthening the army will be completed.

Grabbing power and status is in the process of moistening things silently.

Zhu Jinghong was frowning and thinking hard, while Zhu Jingyuan who had returned to Prince Rui's residence was also talking to his wife at this moment.

Chen Zhi was very happy when she learned that the prince had made a slip of the tongue today.

But when she learned that it was Zhu Jinghong who rescued the prince again, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

"That's why... I still have to bring the old thirteen over. With him helping the prince, there is no chance of winning!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhi couldn't help compiling: "You know...you haven't even been able to find a few horses for them for so long. I'm the old thirteen and I'm not happy!"

"Let me tell you, the East Palace is also busy with this matter, you have to hold on tight!"

Zhu Jingyuan was annoyed after hearing these words, so he had to respond casually a few times, but in fact he had been paying attention to this matter all the time.

But still the same sentence, good horses are easy to find, but suitable for Zhu Jinghong are very rare.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jingyuan said: "That's right... that boy Shui Rong is coming back from the north, he is also a good horse man, maybe he will bring some good horses back!"

The mention of Shui Rong here is the King of Beijing with four princes and eight princes. Now there are only two county kings with different surnames, he and Nan'an.

According to the system of descending to nobility, the nobility should have been stripped to their generation.

The reason why Wang Jue can still inherit is because the father of Shui Rong and King Nan'an were hardcore supporters of Zhu Xianming during the Donghuamen Incident.

Shui Rong's father was seriously injured during the coup, and he passed away less than three years later. This made the emperor feel very sorry, so he transferred his love to Shui Rong.

Although he is young, Shui Rong himself is very upbeat, and all the errands he arranges are handled properly, and now he is extremely trusted by the emperor.

This time when he went north, he was ordered by the emperor to investigate the Liaodong capital and sell arms to the Jurchen tribes.

There are good pastures in Liaodong, Liaodong Dusi and Andong Xingdusi will definitely have good horses for Shui Rong.

"Well... I hope!" Chen Zhi said.

"These two days... What reason do you find to call Princess Beijing to the mansion, and mention this matter to her first!"

That's right, "summoning" is used here, no matter how much the King of Beijing Jing is trusted by the emperor, in front of Zhu Jingyuan, a dignified prince, he is just a subject.

"Okay... I'll arrange this matter!" Chen Zhi responded.

Suddenly, Chen Zhi remembered another thing, and reminded: "There is one more thing... The people we placed in the East Palace said that something is wrong with Jia Yuanchun recently!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Zhu Jingyuan asked curiously.

"I can't tell, it's different from the past anyway!"

Zhu Jingyuan said indifferently: "She is an insignificant person, what to do if she cares so much!"
