King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 318 Two brothers

The so-called honorary title is to give the emperor the title of a cow.

For example, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was one of the best. He added several times to himself during his lifetime, such as "Kaiyuan Shenwu Emperor", "Kaiyuan Shengwen Shenwu Emperor", "Kaiyuan Tianbao Shengwen Shenwu Emperor"...

The censors came to admonish the emperor to increase his title, which is a new way of playing with Meishang, and even the face of civil servants and bureaucrats is lost.

This is because in this version of history, from the beginning of Taizu Taizong to the present, the pattern of internal and external coercion between civil and military systems has been maintained.

As a result, any individual or faction in the court had to do everything possible to maintain and get close to the imperial power in order to survive.

Since the ancestor Zhongxing, the imperial power has been strengthened unprecedentedly, which has led to an increase in the degree of involution among officials.

Therefore, these dignified speech officials are becoming more and more unlimited, and they even seek the emperor's title to flatter them.

"I see!"

After answering this sentence, Shui Rong couldn't help but feel that he was thinking too much, thinking that these people dared to come to force the palace.

Being led all the way outside the main hall, the eunuch who led the way said: "My lord, please wait a moment!"

"Who's in there?"

"It's the thirteenth Lord who has an audience!"

Nodding his head, Shui Rong didn't say much, but he murmured in his heart, secretly wondering why this person came to see him, he used to avoid Qianqing Palace.

And after waiting for more than half an hour, my legs were sore and limp after standing in the water.

Zhu Jinghong was called in the hall, so he could hear the audience's statement, but Shui Rong couldn't hear it outside the hall, so it was really uncomfortable to wait.

"Father... It is an indisputable truth to increase productivity and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army!"

"You are also an emperor through the ages, you should have some eyesight, and you can understand the truths that your son said!"

"If it's as those officials said, what kind of nonsense with strange skills and ingenuity, then we should be like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, fishing and hunting to live and drink blood!"

"Father, you can't be confused at this time..."

Zhu Jinghong spouted furiously, stunned all the eunuchs in the warm pavilion, this is not what it should be like to talk to the emperor.

Not to mention the eunuchs, even Zhu Xianming was stunned, and at the same time he felt that this kid was getting bolder and bolder.

"Enough said?"

It was only when the emperor reminded him that Zhu Jinghong realized that he had overplayed himself, so he immediately lowered his head with his waist hooked.

"Father... say... that's enough!"

"Did I say I disagreed?"

"No...no!" Zhu Jinghong's forehead was sweating, and his blood was rushing to face reality.

"I just said one thing, but you can't stop talking, what do you mean?"

Facing the emperor's question, Zhu Jinghong was speechless, because he had indeed reacted just now, and he was too worried that the emperor would reject his suggestion.

"You are too fucking bold, you are so rude in front of me, you are an asshole!"

Zhu Xianming scolded the last four words, and Zhu Jinghong was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Son is guilty!"

To be more serious, Zhu Jinghong's behavior is disrespectful, and according to the example of dealing with those in the Ministry of Rites and Industry, at least he will be treated as exile by confiscating his home.

"Guilty? How could you be guilty? What a majestic person you are, I think you will demolish this Qianqing palace in a few days!"

"Father, no matter how ignorant your son is, he won't dare to demolish your bedroom!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xianming was really speechless. He really wanted to know what was in the head of the little bastard in front of him.

"Get out of here!"

"Father... about allocating money to the land, you see..."

This interview lasted for more than an hour. Zhu Jinghong first talked about the technology of foreigners, and then mentioned how to apply these technologies, and then asked for money and land for him.

"Let's talk about it later, get out!"

Although the emperor's tone was not kind, Zhu Jinghong also knew that the old man had to think carefully, after all, this was really not a trivial matter.

Zhu Jinghong tossed about these things, regardless of the calm on the surface, it was all suppressed by the emperor.

The matter of learning from foreigners will inevitably cause even greater disturbances in the government and the public. It is normal for Zhu Xianming to think carefully.

"Yes!"

Standing up carefully, Zhu Jinghong turned around and was about to leave, but found that he had the draft plan in his hand. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to leave like this.

So he could only turn around again, and when the emperor was drinking tea from the teacup, he walked to the imperial case in three steps at a time, threw the things on the table, turned around and ran away.

Before leaving the house, he still didn't forget to say: "Your servant, please leave!"

Looking at the plan in front of him, Zhu Xianming's face was extremely ugly, but in the end he didn't say much.

Besides, when Zhu Jinghong left the Nuan Pavilion, his hanging heart sank, and he planned to come to the Qing Palace to talk about this matter in a few days.

When he left the main hall, he saw Shui Rong waiting outside, who also saw him at this moment.

I saw Shui Rong took two steps forward, and said very respectfully: "I've seen Lord Thirteen!"

The son of the imperial concubine, the prince who is about to be named, let alone a county king with a different surname, even a clan king with a distant relationship, he has to honestly call him "Thirteenth Lord".

In response, Zhu Jinghong asked, "When did you come back?"

"I just came back, and I'm here to meet the Holy Majesty!"

Zhu Jinghong had a good impression of Shui Rong, so he reminded: "My father is not in a good mood, you have to be careful when you go in!"

Shui Rong was very anxious today, but after hearing this, he became even more anxious.

Seeing his ugly expression, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, then patted Shui Rong on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty still values ​​you very much!"

"Okay, you go in... I'm leaving!"

"Master Thirteen, go slowly!"

After Zhu Jinghong left, an eunuch came out of the main hall, and it was by order that he passed the water to melt into the palace to have an audience.

As for Zhu Jinghong, he didn't mean to be idle, but went to find Hou Jing and others.

There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the training for the North Four Guards will begin after the year, and now all departments are in full swing for preparations.

As the supervisor of this training, Zhu Jinghong should watch everywhere and check all the details.

But after all, he has no skills at all, so he has to find someone to help him keep an eye on him. The guards who have been through hardships and troubles together have become his first choice.

The training of the Northern Four Guards has become a part of the national policy after public discussion by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War, so the guarantee for this matter is very good.

According to Zhu Jinghong's request, Hou Jing and others will no longer be in charge of guards on duty until the training of the Northern Four Guards is completed.

But according to Zhu Jinghong's plan, after the training of the Northern Four Guards is completed, he will try his best to let Hou Jing and others release the bodyguards to further expand his sphere of influence.

Of course, this is only Zhu Jinghong's plan, and how it will be done in the future is still uncertain.

Here Zhu Jinghong began to arrange tasks, but the fourth brother and the sixth brother met outside Donghua Gate.

"Hey...fourth brother, are your bones better? Don't hang out all the time if you have nothing to do, be careful of relapse!"

Hearing Lao Liu's malicious words, Zhu Jingyuan said coldly: "Lao Liu, the cold wind is like a knife, be careful to cut your tongue!"

"Haha, today my father has repeatedly called me for questions and answers, and the state affairs and people's livelihood are all involved, which makes me very tired...

Walking in front of Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jingyuan said sincerely: "To be honest, I wish I could lose my tongue so that I can live a few days of leisure!"

It has to be said that Lao Liu has a thick skin, and his ability to make up nonsense is surprisingly high.

The emperor summoned him these few days, but all he asked was about compiling books, and he didn't ask him his views on the government and state affairs at all.
