Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 101 The shocking debut of the Sky Garden!
As a boss, you don’t have to be very capable, but you must be able to draw a large pie.

Zhu Houzhao felt that the pie he just drew was perfect.

Looking at the old guys with blurred eyes and ecstatic bodies, Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied.

As for the old guys from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion who looked indifferent, picking their noses, and being bored, Zhu Houzhao simply ignored them.

As the saying goes, if you like money, if you want to impress him, give him money; if you like power, if you want to bribe him, give him power; if you like fame and fortune, give him fame and fortune that he can't refuse.

The old guys in the court have almost reached the peak of their power. They enjoy money, beauties, delicious food and so on. They enjoy countless things, to say the least, even more than the emperor.

The emperor is still bound by various rules. These old guys, who look sanctimonious and look like righteous gentlemen, secretly don't know how much fun they are having.

For them, power, money, and status are hard to impress.

If you want to hook them, immortality, good health, and a status that is untouchable by mortals are the fatal poisons.

They need these, and Zhu Houzhao will give them these, but whether they can get them depends on the abilities of these old guys.

"Cough cough..."

With a clear cough, everyone present was awakened. Zhu Houzhao faced everyone's fiery eyes and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Father, please follow me out, and I will take you to see these fruit trees."

After saying that, before anyone could respond, Zhu Houzhao strode out of the hall.

Everyone who was stuffed by the cake painted by Zhu Hou quickly followed him, wanting to see what this fruit tree that could make them holy looked like.

But when they walked out of the palace gate, they saw that the passport did not go to the East Palace as everyone imagined, but stopped at the entrance of the palace, waiting for them.

"Everyone inside comes out."

Ignoring the curious crowd, Zhu Houzhao shouted to the eunuchs and maids serving inside, asking them all to come out.

He wanted to open the space door, but he didn't know what would happen next.

Naturally, no one dared to disobey Zhu Houzhao's order. Under the leadership of Liu Jin, all the eunuchs and maids left the hall and stood at the back.

Asking Zhang Lie to close the door, Zhu Houzhao muttered silently in his heart, put his hands on the palace door, and pushed hard.

"squeak"

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, the palace door was slowly pushed open.

Everything in the hall disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone was a huge whirlpool.

"This…"

Zhu Youtang's eyes widened and he looked at the sudden whirlpool in surprise.

What Zhu Youtang saw and heard today felt like more than he had experienced in half his life.

The magical fruit and the mysterious essence of heaven and earth had shocked him beyond words.

However, the sudden appearance of the vortex touched the nerves that he thought were numb again.

Zhu Houzhao turned around with a smile and extended his hand to his father.

"Father, please follow me to see the new Ming Dynasty world."

With that said, he grabbed Zhu Youtang, who was still in shock, and stepped into the whirlpool.

The important ministers behind them who were already mentally numb saw that the emperor and the prince had entered, and they followed them in without any hesitation.

"Is this fairyland?"

Zhu Youtang, who was pulled by Zhu Houzhao, only felt a blur in front of his eyes. When his sight returned, the beautiful scenery of fairy mist, groups of palaces, groups of fairy beasts, and strange flowers and grasses everywhere came into his eyes.

Such a fairy-like scene made Zhu Youtang's first thought that he had arrived in the legendary fairy world.

The ministers who followed behind were no better. Looking at the dreamlike fairyland scene around them, there was nothing but shock and surprise in their eyes.

"This is not a fairyland, this is our father and son's palace in another world."

Seeing that his father mistakenly thought this place was the fairy world, Zhu Houzhao gave a brief introduction.

"The palace?"

Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment, looking at the fairy aura around him. He couldn't even dream of a place that could not be linked to the palace.

"This is the Qingling Fruit, there are so many of them."

Just as Zhu Youtang was digesting all this, an exclamation sounded from behind him.

Zhu Youtang turned around and saw Zhou Jing, the minister of household affairs, pointing to an area in the distance with an ecstatic look on his face.

Zhu Youtang and the other attracted ministers followed the opponent's fingers and saw a garden area in the distance covered with arm-thick vines.

On the vines, there are several branches and leaves growing at regular intervals, and there are clear spirit fruits emitting red light on them, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Looking around, there are no less than a thousand fruits.

When an elderly doctor from the Ministry of Rites saw so many fruits, he had something on his mind. He couldn't bear it any longer, walked out of the queue, knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao, and said sadly:

"Your Highness, the old minister's grandson has been stupid since he was born. Poor, the only son of the old minister also died of illness shortly after the child was born." "Now the old minister has only this grandson to pass on the incense to the old minister, but his demented appearance, let alone If you manage the family business, you can’t even take care of yourself.”

"I don't ask for anything else. I only ask for a spiritual fruit from Your Highness to restore my stupid grandson to normal."

"No matter what the conditions are, I am willing to pay. Even if it costs my life, I will have no regrets."

As he was talking, thinking of his poor grandson, the old man from the Ministry of Rites lay on the ground and started sobbing softly.

The others looked at the crying old man and sighed and shook their heads.

They all knew the situation of the other party. Ever since he saw the Qingling Fruit, the old man had been in high spirits.

But when Zhu Houzhao told him the conditions for exchange, his excited spirit was instantly hit.

How could he, a doctor who serves as a temple priest, have the opportunity to make great achievements?

That is to say, he is too old to use the sword, otherwise he would not hesitate to abandon literature and join the martial arts, go to the north to kill the barbarians, and use his old life to give his grandson a chance.

Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao, wanting to see what the Crown Prince would decide.

The exchange conditions have been set before, and the rules are the rules.

If the front foot sets a rule and Zhu Houzhao breaks it with the back foot, then the rule is meaningless.

And if Zhu Houzhao doesn't give it, although no one will say anything, they will inevitably feel a little disappointed.

Xu Da, Liu Jian, Zhu Youtang and others also did not speak.

This is a test of rules and human nature. As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor, Zhu Houzhao must go through a test.

Looking at the old minister who was kneeling and begging angrily, Zhu Houzhao helped him up under everyone's gaze.

"Amongst the Cowherds, I am very sympathetic to the situation of my grandson, but rules are rules and cannot be broken just because of anyone. If you change the rules casually and break everything, then what is the meaning of these rules?"

Zhu Houzhao's words made Niu Langzhong's expression completely dim, and he suddenly seemed to be much older.

Zhu Youtang, Xu Da, Liu Jian and others saw that Zhu Youtang had made a choice, and it was not an ideal one. Although they were slightly disappointed, they also respected Zhu Houzhao's ideas.

However, when everyone was silent, Zhu Houzhao waved to a soldier standing guard with a broken arm next to him.

"Let the little girl come here."

Although everyone was a little disappointed by Zhu Houzhao's choice, they also understood that Zhu Houzhao was upholding the fairness of the rules.

If just anyone who begs and begs can get a treasure that others work hard to get, then this thing is too cheap.

There are so many poor people in the world. Once Zhu Houzhao opens his mouth, it will be difficult to end it in the future.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward, lifted the Cowherd who was kneeling on the ground and looked lonely, and stood in the crowd.

"Tap tap..."

A burst of light footsteps sounded from a distance. When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw a very beautiful little girl running towards Zhu Houzhao with a face of surprise.

When Zhu Youtang saw this girl, his eyes lit up.

It wasn't that he had any thoughts, but he was happy for his son.

Zhu Houzhao is different from other children. He doesn't even have a formal maid by his side.

This made Zhu Youtang worried that his son had spent too much time with eunuchs and was no longer interested in women.

Now that this little girl appeared, Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Houzhao also knows that the golden house hides the beauty, which shows that there is no problem with sexual orientation.

The little girl who ran over grabbed the corner of Zhu Houzhao's clothes out of habit, communicated quickly with Zhu Houzhao using her mental thoughts, and complained that Zhu Houzhao hadn't come to see her for a long time.

Zhu Houzhao comforted her with a few words, glanced at the lonely Cowherd in the crowd, and spoke to the little girl mentally.

The little girl looked at Cowherd with a vague understanding, nodded obediently, and walked towards the vines in the distance.

Under the gaze of everyone, the little girl walked to the vine and waved her hand, and the vine swam up to the little girl as if it had spiritual power.

Picking a fruit at random, the little girl quickly ran to Cowherd Zhong and handed it to Niulang Zhong.

This scene made everyone froze on the spot and looked at Zhu Houzhao in shock.

Zhu Houzhao said to the Cowherd who was stunned on the spot, looking at the fruit: "This girl is the only one in this world, and she rarely comes here. She learned that you have a little granddaughter who is about the same age as her, and wants you to Her granddaughter became her maid and came here to keep her company, and she was willing to give her a piece of fruit in exchange."

As a rule maker, you will naturally not break the rules, but as a superior, you cannot be merciless at all.

However, things cannot be given away casually, otherwise they will become very cheap.

Zhu Houzhao cannot be the one who gives alms, otherwise once the hole is opened, it will be difficult to stop it.

So he asked the little girl to be the almsgiver. The little girl was a vine elf. These fruits were originally hers, and she could give them to whomever she wanted.

Trading a piece of fruit for a playmate is nothing to the little girl.

In the eyes of mortals, these fruits are spiritual beings from heaven and earth, but to the little girl, they are nothing more than food to quench their thirst every day.
