By this time, the Imperial Horse Prison was already a behemoth, with not only military power in its hands, but also financial power, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver flowing every year. Among the entire twenty-four eunuchs, only the celebrant can overpower the horse eunuch.

In the imperial city, there is a forage field of the celebrant supervisor, called the forage field of Li. There are a large number of horses and other livestock here. The Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion were stationed in rotation and were responsible for guarding the palace and raising horses.

However, the selection contest is not held here, but in the inner school field. Where is the complete equipment and the venue. When he came to the palace of the imperial horse supervisor, a eunuch brought the docile imperial horse.

"Your Highness, offended." After the eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed, he turned over on the horse with Zhu Youxiao in his arms, and then the group rode towards the inner school field. Compared with other eunuchs, the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Prison are generally much more majestic.

The same is true of the eunuch who rode a horse with Zhu Youxiao, with a strong physique and superb horse control skills, except for some ups and downs, he didn't feel a little bump.

"What's your name?" Feeling this unusual riding skill, Zhu Youxiao became a little interested in this eunuch.

"The villain Zhou Quan is the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Guard, managing the affairs of the grass fence field." Zhou Quan replied respectfully, not at all despised because of Zhu Youxiao's young age.

"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao responded gently, then ignored it, and turned to look at the surrounding scenery, the imperial city was too big, he just walked around the twenty-four prisons hastily, and did not take a closer look at other places, so take a good look at it now. And Zhou Quan, the admiral eunuch who surrounded Zhu Youxiao, saw that His Royal Highness the Taisun had no interest in him, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

Along the way, there are pavilions and temples everywhere. At this time, it was summer, and the green imperial city could be called the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the crisp sound of birdsong, and the faint and elegant fragrance of flowers, which made Zhu Youxiao's mood inexplicably cheerful.

About half an hour later, the group came to the inner school field. The inner school field is located to the north of the Taiye Pond, and its southwest side is the famous leopard house.

At this time, the inner school field was already overcrowded, in addition to the eunuchs with palm prints and supervising eunuchs, the following supervisors, masters, bookkeepers, and the commanders and captains of the four guard battalions of the warrior battalion all came. Compared with the thin captain of the warrior battalion, there are many more generals on the side of the four guard battalions, after all, there are four guards under the four guard battalions, Teng Xiang left and right guards and Wu Xiang left and right guards.

At this time, these big eunuchs and generals were all standing around a small platform, which was a seat for Zhu You. Wearing nondescript practice clothes, Zhu Youxiao came to his place and sat down. Then, it was the palm seal eunuch who announced that this year's selection competition began.

In the sound of gongs and drums, the elite flag soldiers of the four guard battalions came out one after another and began a tense contest to select the front, this solemn and tense atmosphere made Zhu Youxiao can't help but think of the atmosphere in the unit when the selection began in his previous life, which was also solemn and serious.

With an expectant heart, Zhu Youxiao began to watch seriously. However, reality poured cold water on him, and the competition did not appear what he wanted.

It's not that the selection is not exciting, and it's not that these people don't have real materials, but what they know is not suitable for Zhu Youxiao.

After all, this is only a selection competition for elite soldiers, and only the talents of ten enemies are selected, not the hundred enemies he wants. Judging from the physical fitness he is showing now, a hundred enemies are the best choice.

To be honest, the benefits of this crossing, in addition to making his physical fitness different from ordinary people since childhood, are only those materials that came with him. Excluding these two points, he has not changed much, he has not become penetrating, he has not forgotten, his IQ has not improved by a few grades, and he still can't play those old foxes in political struggle.

Everything proves that he is still an ordinary person. It didn't make him outstanding because of the crossing.

IQ can't be supplemented by muscles, and if you can't play those old foxes, you will kill those old foxes, which is also the simple stage of the guiding ideology of power in the barrel of a gun. It just so happens that he will be the emperor in the future, and he is still good at ruling under the pressure of strong authority.

After all, that's what the prison guards do, using the power of the state to control the prisoners.

In order to maintain the power of the emperor, force was indispensable, whether military or personal. Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to find a few masters from the Imperial Horse Prison to teach him, but it seemed that he knew that the kung fu here was not suitable for him.

He has been in the army for two years, and he basically has some eyesight, and at most there are some basic skills, and his fighting skills are not much worse, at most it is the gap in the use of cold weapons.

"Shomen?!" In a trance, a word he had seen in it floated through his mind.

"I'm really stupid, I think this is the Celestial Empire, how can this kind of technology that can seal the wife and the shadow fight for a rich and noble thing, how can it be everywhere, and it must be monopolized and hidden." Zhu Youxiao slapped his forehead with his little hand, looking like he was really stupid, and his whole body was instantly weak.

The selection contest is in full swing, every soldier who is qualified to participate has done their best, the benefits of entering the two battalions are obvious, not to mention the higher treatment, just the long time of the more straight guard, the opportunity to meet the nobles will stimulate the crowd to go crazy.

For example, the imperial grandson who watched the martial arts competition today!

However, to the disappointment of countless warriors, the extremely expectant eyes of everyone did not bet on it, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao had already fallen into deep chagrin, and he once again brought the thinking of the Celestial Empire here.

The big eunuchs next to them also looked at each other a little, they didn't understand what happened to this young master, wasn't they quite happy to see it at first?

"Let's go back to Ciqing Palace!" Just as the eunuchs who were holding the palm prints and supervising the eunuchs were guessing, Zhu Youxiao's weak voice remembered.

The listless man was still sent back by the admiral eunuch Zhou Quan, this time it was sent farther away, until it reached the Donghua Gate, and then it was not possible to go inside, and the Forbidden City was not allowed to ride a horse.

"But I want to learn martial arts?" Before leaving, Zhou Quan asked as if intentionally or unintentionally.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao raised his head in some surprise and looked at the relatively strong eunuch in front of him with interest. If you can come to the palace, you can also do the position of admiral, and your natural appearance will not be too bad, and Zhou Quan is the same, he looks like he has a tough temperament.

If Li Jinzhong said this, he would naturally not be surprised, but a eunuch who had just come into contact with him once figured out his own thoughts, was the other party too clever or did he not have a city government?

"Naturally!" Zhu Youxiao bowed slightly, which was an answer. Then he looked at the other party expectantly, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

"Why don't you go and beg for a long live master, long live the master is rich all over the world, and the world is subdued, it is easy to find a martial arts instructor for the master." Zhou Quan really gave an answer, an answer that Zhu Youxiao was extremely familiar with.

"I'm stupid!" Hearing this answer, Zhu Youxiao's face collapsed, he really felt that he was stupid, he didn't use such a big backer, and he just wanted to dig out by himself by his own efforts.

"You are now a third-generation emperor, not the previous otaku dick, you have to use it if you have a backer." Zhu Youxiao silently muttered in his heart, he felt at this moment that he still did not integrate into the identity of the emperor's grandson and substitute into this era. In his heart, he still regarded himself as the little prison guard in the future, relying on his own ability to establish his prestige and manage the vote under him.

"You're good." After coming back to his senses, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction: "You can come to me if you have anything in the future." With that, he turned and walked away.

Respectfully watching the imperial grandson go away, Zhou Quan was full of joy and surprise. Joy is to climb the door of the imperial grandson, this is the golden thigh of the future, and I am surprised that the grandson is precocious and organized, generally a five-year-old child, where will he understand so much, and his speech will be so clear and distinct.

"What a natural saint!" With emotion, he also turned around and left, turning back to the Imperial Horse Prison Hall.

"You, don't think that you can do anything if you give birth to a son, my son is the grandson of the saint, and he will be the emperor in the future, and I will also be the queen mother in the future, and you will be good-looking when the time comes."

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, the high-pitched voice of his mother Wang Cairen came out of the palace. As soon as he heard this voice, Zhu Youxiao didn't have to guess to know what was going on.

It must be that the prince's father has something to do, but the cheap mother seized the opportunity to find a way back.

"Hmph, what are you angry about, I'm also pregnant, and looking at the pointy belly, it must be a son. When His Royal Highness ascends the throne, it is not certain who is the crown prince. Looking at the triumphant Wang Cairen, Xi Li looked disdainful, just relying on this stupid woman to earn with her.

Xi Li's words suddenly poked at the sensitive point in Wang's heart and made her panic. Although she is only a poetry selection, she has also gained some knowledge in the palace for so many years. Concubine Zheng Guifei relied on Wanli's favor, but she saw the bullying of the prince all these years, and even those ministers who were otherworldly in her eyes had nothing to do with this woman, and that scenery made her really envious.

Xi Li's words suddenly reminded her of the future, in case her father-in-law Wanli dies and her husband ascends the throne, Xi Li is lucky, isn't she another Concubine Zheng?

Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart: "You ......"

Wang is not a flexible person, and in a panic, he has no idea and doesn't know how to refute. can only point at Xi Li, the "you" in his mouth keeps stopping, and his beautiful white face is flushed.

"Hahaha!!" Seeing Wang Cairen like this, Xi Li laughed uncontrollably, and his voice was a little like an owl in the night sky, which was a little harsh to hear.

"The two younger sisters don't quarrel, let me be quiet." The crown princess walked in plain white, with a faint sadness in her tone.

There was also a weak woman next to her, who also had a big belly, but it was slightly smaller than Xi Li's belly. This is Lady Liu, this person is not very familiar to everyone, but his son is famous, it is the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen.

[Author's digression]: It's almost the New Year, everyone hurry home. The feast is a bit hard, and I have to be on duty from the third to the sixth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is very tiring.
