“Da Ming Zhengde Emperor New ( Find the latest chapter!

Zhang Yanling left the palace confidently and walked towards his mansion, feeling uneasy all the way. He wondered if Zhu Houzhao would really be able to marry his daughter as the queen?

This matter has been suppressed in his mind for a long time. Seeing that the raw rice is about to be cooked, he has to step up the final operation.

As for Zhu Houzhao, who came out of the Imperial Garden, he heard about it at the first time, and he felt a little confused, although this was also a matchmaker’s words. His cousin.

In addition, his uncle’s behavior made everyone ashamed, which further exacerbated his conflicting heart.

I have to talk to my mother about this matter, if it is too late, I am afraid it will still be too late.

The newly entered Jiangnan Xiu Nv has been arranged properly, and will soon be tested by the Queen Mother. If they are all looked at, it is estimated that Zhu Houzhao will have a great blessing.

Inside the Cining Palace.

“Let’s go, take Ai’s family to see the beautiful girl who has been selected into the palace this time, and see if it suits Zhao’er’s appetite. If even Ai’s family doesn’t like it, I think I’ll just send it back sooner!”

The Empress Dowager walked towards Chuxiu Palace with several servants and maids.

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhu Houzhao leading a group of guards and eunuchs over. The queen mother sighed, feeling like something bad was about to happen.

“Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please wait a moment, the son-in-law has something to ask the Queen Mother.”

Zhu Houzhao hurried over, and Tian Hou’s face softened a little, and asked, “Zhao’er, has something urgent happened? Why are you running in such a hurry?”

Zhu Houzhao looked around and asked, “Mother, can you secretly arrange your son’s marriage?”

“Why do you make good ideas without your consent? It’s simply impossible to let sister Zhang Xuan enter the palace to be the queen!”

“Zhao’er, listen to your mother, your cousin is gentle and kind, virtuous and knowledgeable. I think your childhood sweethearts are exactly a couple. This is a match made in heaven, and the beauty is made by the earth. .”

“Mother, you are arguing!”

Zhu Houzhao saw that the Empress Dowager Zhang spoke well, and she said it in a straightforward manner, so she simply dropped the sentence and left.

Several eunuchs couldn’t keep up with Zhu Houzhao’s heels, so they could only trot from a distance to follow.

Zhu Xiurong, the master of Yunluo County, stood behind Empress Dowager Zhang, staring at his brother’s back, secretly happy for him.

She couldn’t bear to have her cousin be her sister-in-law, so she was so busy all day that she didn’t even have time to play.

When Zhu Houzhao returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Cao Zhengchun had already arrived and stood waiting outside the hall.

“Come in and talk with me!”

Several guards immediately stood outside the door, firmly controlling the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

“Cao Aiqing, I now secretly give you a secret order, asking you to find out all the vassal kings’ belongings within three days, especially the possession of firearms, record them in detail, and report them to me.”

Cao Zhengchun was a little surprised, and secretly said in his heart, there are estimated to be as many as seventy or eighty households of the Zhu family in this country.

“Go back to your majesty, the power of this vassal king has increased greatly in recent years, especially recently I heard that the iron warrior is also secretly stepping up his power expansion. It will take three days to find out these things, I am afraid…”

When Zhu Houzhao heard what Cao Zhengchun said, he was telling the truth. If he just asked, it would take several months to make a trip across the country, but the time for this matter is very tight. Qi Jingtong said a lot before, and if he doesn’t do anything, there may be people who will rebel. .

So, he thought about it and said, “What Aiqing said is also true, so let’s do it, I will temporarily lend you the sword of the Son of Heaven, and there is no time limit. You go and visit the kings of the whole country. If anyone dares to hide cannons or If there are firearms, they will be confiscated according to the number of possessions.”

“If anyone dares to resist, they will kill one without leaving. Bringing their heads to see me, I will never blame you.”

“You also don’t want to kill innocent people with the sword of the emperor that I gave you. I will pay a return visit later. If I hear someone say that you killed innocent people indiscriminately, I will never forgive you lightly.”

“Also, this time I’m going to investigate the matter of hidden artillery, don’t use my name, you can do it yourself.”

“I respectfully follow His Majesty’s teachings!”

Cao Zhengchun immediately understood Zhu Houzhao’s intention. He wanted others to take the blame for him, and he also wanted to do things that were beneficial to the court. If things went on like this, he would probably be the one with the most enemies outside.

But what can be done?

Originally, he was very unpopular outside, and he was more and more offended by the vassal king. At that time, he really didn’t know how he died.

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with his subordinate. Cao Zhengchun is the kind of smart person who can only do things by His Majesty’s side with a little knowledge.

In the Ming Dynasty, the weapons of the army were strictly kept secret. As for the artillery used by the civilians and those used by the army, it was a different matter. Ever since Qi Jingtong reported this to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao had always had a bad feeling in his heart. idea.

There are ghosts in the court.

And it must be for the purpose of profit, secretly smuggling military firearms and a few secrets.

The core secrets manufactured by the Ministry of Industry have been strictly checked, and it is impossible to leak out.

The only possibility is internal and external collusion, revealing the secret of making artillery through secret channels.

However, Qi Jingtong said that Zhu Chenghao, the king of Lu in the coastal area, not only mastered the core technology of making artillery, but even his artillery technology had surpassed that of the imperial court.

“Cao Aiqing, I’m discussing a question with you, and you can tell me your point of view.”

Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, please give me instructions!”

Zhu Houzhao picked up the tea bowl on the dragon case, took a sip and said, “The cannon-making skills on the southeast coast are higher than those in the imperial court. I suspect that someone secretly colluded with the vassal king and leaked my secrets. Is there such a situation? ”

Cao Zhengchun said: “In response to His Majesty’s words, according to the reports from Jin Yiwei, this possibility is very small, because all the reports in the palace must be reviewed by the Ministry of Rites, and all these memorials must be transcribed again, so this minister I think it is unlikely that the DPRK will leak the secret.”

Zhu Houzhao nodded after listening, he also thought so.

“But, how do you explain that their artillery technology is more advanced than mine?”

“If you go back to Your Majesty, there is a way to do it.”

Zhu Houzhao looked up at Cao Zhengchun, he really couldn’t think of any way to be smarter than his minister.

“Learn *********, I wonder if Your Majesty has found a problem~www.readmtl.com~ Although the southeast coast is in a barren land, since the founding of our country, I have always attached importance to the development of the southeast coast. Today, His Majesty’s opening of the sea ban is the best way for the locals to learn.”

“They not only accepted the advanced experience of foreigners, but also earned foreigners’ money into their own pockets, shipped the tea and ceramics we produced, and earned their money. In the long run, people on the southeast coast of Daming know how to communicate with the outside world. In business, it’s not surprising to learn something useful from them.”

“Learn abroad? Where to learn?”

Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise.

In his mind, Daming is currently the most advanced country in the world, all technologies are ahead of the world, and there is nothing to learn from.

“Yes! Your Majesty, learn from the foreigners, they are Japanese!”
