Chapter 16: The Ming Dog Official.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Zhu Houzhao came out of the battlefield space, he was hit by bursts of smoke and coughed repeatedly.

"What's going on? Where did the smoke come from? Is there something wrong?"

"Your Highness is not cheating, cough cough cough...someone is burning incense outside."

As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Liu Jin limped in and reported what happened.

"Burning incense?"

Zhu Houzhao was confused when he heard this.

This is a royal palace, not a temple or Taoist temple, so what kind of incense should be burned?

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liu Jin looked excited and said, "Ever since what happened yesterday, everyone has said that you are a god descending from heaven."

Pointing to the door, "No, the people who received the gift last night have all come to thank you."

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while after listening.

Good guy, this is treating him as a living god.

I want people to drive away the people burning incense outside.

But I also thought that the people didn't know how to thank him, so they could only express their gratitude in this way.

After thinking about this, Zhu Houzhao told Liu Jin: "Burning like this is not an option. The palace can't treat anyone anymore."

"You ask people to set up a platform outside the wall of the Ancestral Temple, let them burn it there, and tell them that I have accepted the idea, and everyone can just burn it this time. I am still alive, so I won't need it for the time being."

"Your Highness, this is the time to accumulate popularity. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was wasted?"

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of letting this behavior continue, Liu Jin said with some regret.

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes and looked him up and down, and said to the guard at the door: "Go and call the guard in uniform from yesterday. It seems that our Eunuch Liu misses him quite a bit. In this case, let them have a good time making out. "

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jin's calves trembled, and he quickly knelt down and begged: "Your Highness, I know that I am wrong. I will order people now, oh no, I will inform them personally..."

After saying that, he kowtowed and ran out.

Zhu Houzhao sneered, "I can't cure you anymore."

He said to the guard who was about to call someone: "That guy is pretty good. Let the Jinyi guards transfer him to my side as a guard."

After saying that, he waved his hands outside, and several palace maids came in holding clothes.

After washing up, Zhu Houzhao did not have breakfast in the East Palace.

The smell of incense is wafting everywhere, and you will be a ghost if you can eat it.

"Has Your Majesty finished your morning service?"

When he came to his father's study, Zhu Houzhao casually flipped through the memorial and asked the eunuch waiting next to him.

"Go back to Your Highness, not yet."

"I heard that His Majesty and his ministers are going to hold an ancestor worship ceremony and are discussing this matter."

Zhu Houzhao said "hmm", then the master prepared some breakfast and waited for his father in the study.

At the same time, he was very considerate and helped his old man correct the large pile of memorials on the table.

This is the benefit of being a prince and having a kind father.

In other dynasties, the prince would not dare touch these things without the emperor's will.

But Zhu Houzhao was different. When he touched on these government affairs, his father not only was not angry, but also very happy.He even laments that when the child grows up, he finally knows how to share his father's worries.

Zhu Houzhao came to see his father for a total of two things.

The first is the 100 dog officers in his hands.

It was useless for him to keep these loyal and capable dog officials in his hands. He might as well give them to his father directly to share the pressure of government affairs with him.

Second, transfer 1 elite border troops to him to prevent emergencies.

The initial militia in the battlefield space needs to be purchased. The smallest unit is a legion of [-] people, and the price is [-] luck points.

Zhu Houzhao did not have enough luck points at hand and could not assemble so many elite troops for the time being.

Therefore, he needs to prepare 1 real troops, ready to listen to his orders at any time, and enter the battlefield to help him fight.

By this time, at noon, Zhu Houzhao had approved a large pile of memorials, and his old man came back with a smile on his face.

"I heard you came early in the morning, is there something wrong?"

Seeing that his son was busy helping him review the manuscript, Zhu Youtang showed a happy smile on his face.

I picked up a few books and looked through them, and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhu Houzhao was worthy of being a disciple trained by several cabinet ministers. Coupled with his later experience, he was able to solve some basic problems in the memorial and also gave several good suggestions.

"Dad, are you afraid of monsters?"

Putting down the cinnabar imperial brush in his hand, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Youtang with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang laughed.

"I even have a son who is a god, how can I be afraid of a mere demon?"

Zhu Houzhao twitched the corner of his mouth. When did this old man become so shameless?

"Okay, I have hundreds of dog officials, let him help you."

"Dog officer?"

Zhu Youtang looked confused. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know where he came from, and pretended to be serious in scolding Zhu Houzhao.

"You kid, be careful what you say, and let your ministers hear you. It's time to be dissatisfied."

Zhu Youtang thought that Zhu Houzhao had recruited a group of talents and wanted to recommend them to him.

Talents are all proud. If this word gets out and the recommended talents find out, they will definitely be dissatisfied and feel that Zhu Houzhao is humiliating them.

Zhu Houzhao didn't explain. He raised his hand and pinched it, and a card appeared in his hand.

Before being released, Zhu Houzhao worriedly said to Zhu Youtang and the eunuch and maid serving beside him: "No matter what happens later, don't make a fuss. If people see it, they will think that we Ming people are ignorant. "The palace maids and eunuchs quickly fell to their knees.

"The slaves obey!"

After repeated explanations, Zhu Houzhao took his father out of the study and threw the card outside under the curious gaze of everyone.

A yellow light lit up, and hundreds of figures walked out of it.

"monster!"

The dog officer's appearance didn't scare anyone, but the sudden scream startled everyone.

Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youtang turned to look.

I don’t know when Queen Zhang came here.

The exclamation just now was made by her.

Seeing his wife's frightened look, Zhu Youtang's heart ached, but he pretended to be serious and said, "Someone, please help the queen return to the palace to rest."

After others helped Queen Zhang away, Zhu Youtang took a deep breath and looked down at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao introduced his father:
"They are officials trained by the Dog Clan, and all of them have the ability to govern the world."

"More importantly, they are loyal to me. Anyone may betray me, but they will not."

Zhu Houzhao briefly explained the origin of the group of dog officials in front of him.

Zhu Youtang nodded, and he did not express any opinions about these dog officials who were only loyal to their sons.

He was just a child, and the throne would belong to Zhu Houzhao sooner or later. These dog officials were loyal to Zhu Houzhao, just like they were loyal to him.

"Subordinates pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The dog officer who had just been teleported seemed a little confused, and it took him a while to get used to it before he recovered.

When he saw Zhu Houzhao, led by a dog official with a yellow dog's head, he walked to Zhu Houzhao and knelt down in front of him.

A group of dog heads bowed to him, what a spectacular scene.

And these dog heads are not the same breed.

There are pastoral dogs, bulldogs, corgis, Shiba Inu, and even Alaskan huskies.

Zhu Houzhao not only wasn't scared after seeing it, but actually wanted to laugh.

Especially the serious expressions of the two huskies made Zhu Houzhao almost laugh.

Fortunately, he held it back and laughed in such a serious situation. Even if these subordinates were loyal, they might feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is the Ming Emperor, my father."

"My subordinates pay respects to His Majesty!"

These dog officials are so smart. Zhu Houzhao simply introduced Zhu Youtang, and they understood what Zhu Houzhao meant.

Under the leadership of the leading yellow dog, they paid homage to Zhu Youtang.

"No need to be polite, please get up."

Zhu Youtang felt a little awkward when he first saw these guys who were living a life of shame.

But he was the emperor after all, and his adaptability was beyond the reach of ordinary people. He adjusted in just a few breaths, stepped forward with a smile, and helped up the leading big yellow dog.

"From now on, you will follow my father. If you help my father, you will help me."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Calling the eunuch next to him who had weak legs, Zhu Houzhao asked him to prepare some food to entertain the dog officials, and then he and his father took the leading yellow dog into the study.

“Dahuang, what are you good at?”

The two of them sat down, and Zhu Houzhao directly asked Dahuang what they were good at.

The big yellow dog, who was sipping the tea gracefully from his cup, was stunned for a moment when he heard the name Dahuang, and said with a resentful look on his face: "Your Highness, my surname is Jiang Mingyuan!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded seriously, "Okay, I understand, Dahuang."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

If you get rhubarb, just be rhubarb, as long as His Highness is happy.

"Return to your Majesty, Your Highness."

Putting down the tea bowl, Dahuang cupped his hands.

"I, Bai Quan, have received elite education since childhood and have many years of internship experience."

"I can handle all kinds of government affairs skillfully, and I can go to any yamen."

Seeing Dahuang's confident expression, Zhu Houzhao looked at his father and asked him how to arrange it.

Zhu Youtang pinched his beard and thought for a while, then said to Zhu Houzhao and Dahuang: "What do you think? You have just come to this sector and are not familiar with some government affairs. Why not go to each yamen and serve as a deputy to the chief officer to understand it first?" Let’s talk about government affairs.”

"In this way, we can not only understand government affairs, but also help the officials and reduce some of their burdens. We can also understand the situation in the yamen."

Zhu Youtang said this very tactfully.

He did have the idea to let these dog officials go to various yamen to learn about various government affairs.

But in fact, the real purpose is to let these dog officers who are loyal to his son, and can be regarded as loyal to the royal family, to supervise the efficiency of various yamen and discover some dark hidden rules.

As the emperor of a country, although he is kind, he is not a fool. He can guess what the officials below have done.

Several times he tried to clear up the darkness in the officialdom, but he always failed due to one reason or another.

Now that these trustworthy people have joined, Zhu Youtang believes that purging the officialdom will have a good result.

Soon, two people and one dog made arrangements for the dog officers. Zhu Youtang planned to introduce these new colleagues to all the ministers during the morning meeting tomorrow.

Zhu Houzhao asked him about his request for troops, and Zhu Youtang agreed after simply asking.

However, what he gave was not 1, but 3 troops and horses, ready to obey Zhu Houzhao's orders at any time.

In addition, he also sent several generals to train these soldiers every day to keep them capable of combat at all times.

When Zhu Houzhao arranged for the dog officers to recruit troops and horses in reality, the auction items he hung in the Chamber of Commerce finally started to be auctioned.
