After another half of the ring, Zhu Youzhen was really a little upset about waiting.

"The concubine is here today, I'm afraid she didn't come to see my criticism, right?"

"Back then, Shenzong was like Your Majesty, and he was also dreaming of working hard all night on state affairs, and seeing His Majesty like this, I think Shenzong should be relieved in the spirit of heaven."

Concubine Zheng finally spoke again.

"The guy who doesn't go to court all day can also be called a sleepy night, and your standard is too low." ’

Zhu Youzhen secretly slandered himself when he heard this.

"Although Shenzong didn't like to go to the court, he didn't delay political affairs, and he did it both inside and outside the court."

'It is not delayed in political affairs, the political affairs of the Wanli Dynasty are wonderful, there is a whip law of Zhang Juzheng in the front, and there is a fight for the country, as if the disaster of the party struggle began in the Wanli Dynasty, and later historians explained that the real death in Wanli also has a certain truth. ’

Concubine Zheng didn't say a word, and Zhu Youzhen didn't interject, because she really didn't know what she wanted to say, but she kept slandering in her heart.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven did not answer, Concubine Zheng said some things about the Wanli Dynasty in vain, which was inevitably mixed with some memories of the Divine Sect.

But halfway through the talk, he still didn't say a word about the point.

Zhu Youzhen also ignored her, if you don't want to die, then drag it, don't be afraid that your son will be sprayed to death by civil officials.

About half an hour later, Concubine Zheng also felt bored, it seemed that this young man had no intention of being affectionate at all.

After sitting in silence for a while, Concubine Zheng finally got up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family has retired."

"Send the concubine."

Zhu Youzhen didn't raise his eyelids, but when Concubine Zheng walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace, suddenly a voice sounded from behind her.

"Come back sooner or later, come back sooner or later, what should go will leave sooner or later, what's yours is yours, don't force it."

Concubine Zheng was stunned when she heard this, and almost tripped on the threshold, but Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly helped her.

After another half of the ring, Concubine Zheng got rid of Wang Chengen and walked out of the Qianqing Palace without looking back.

This woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ’

Zhu Youzhen looked away from the song, looked up at the void outside the door, and sighed secretly.

I thought that Concubine Zheng Guifei could come to reveal the secrets of the court attack case and the red pill case, but this old woman was so strict that she didn't reveal anything.

Did she do it? ’

Zhu Youzheng fell into deep thought again.

In the evening, I suddenly heard a report from Gao Qiqian: Concubine Zheng has become a monk.

Hearing this news, Zhu Youzhen was also stunned for a while, and his admiration for Concubine Zheng was half a point.

After all, she didn't have the courage to die, and this may be her best destination. ’

Zhu Youzhen muttered.

On the second day, as soon as the news of Concubine Zheng leaving home to pray for the blessing of Shenzong came out, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, but then the impeachment of King Fu disappeared.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to really force Emperor Shenzong's concubine to death, it would be too ugly to eat like that, and it would not be good for his image.

So at the beginning, Zhu Youzhen only replaced the inner servants of Fulu Palace, and did not attack Concubine Zheng.

And the bullet seal of the outer court is just to extract Zhu Youzhen from his own matter, and in the end, even if he forces the concubine to death, it is also the pressure of the outer court, and he Zhu Youzhen has never done anything.

Now that Concubine Zheng has taken the initiative to become a monk, she can be regarded as having an explanation to the outer court.

The incident of King Fu offering beautiful women was just a small episode in the court in the second year of Chongzhen, and with the monkhood of Concubine Zheng, it was calm again.

The day soon came to April 20, when King Gui arrived in Guangxi, the second general meeting of shareholders of Xishan Group was held in Xishan.

On this day, Zhu Youjian led the shareholders to visit the Xishan Soap Factory, the Glass Factory, the Machinery Processing Factory, the Iron and Steel Factory, the Woolen Mill, and the Farm.

Of course, the drill of the New Army is also a must-see.

Because the incident of King Fu offering beautiful women has caused a lot of repercussions among the vassal kings, it is necessary for Zhu Youzhen to show off their muscles again, and by the way, they can get some more money to spend.

In March, Lu Xiangsheng, who had dealt with the Shuixian clan, returned to the capital with 2,000 new troops, while Li Tengjiao and Gu Yanwu were left behind to help Zheng Ruxin, the new governor of Guizhou, to promote the reform of the land and return to the stream.

With Lu Xiangsheng's order, the shells sprayed by several three-pounder guns and six-pounder guns in an instant easily hit a mile away.

And when the Tiger Zun cannon was launched, the target within fifty meters was instantly covered with bullet holes.

Since Lu Xiangsheng came back, Zhu Youzhen has pulled him to play correctly several times, especially the performance of the new army in actual combat, as well as some areas that need to be improved.

Lu Xiangsheng was naturally very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the new army, but there were also shortcomings, and the lack of portable artillery was a weakness of the new army.

If it is a difficult task, the way of sending grenadiers to plant explosives is very disadvantageous, and it is estimated that it will cause great casualties when encountering those who hold on, so Lu Xiangsheng suggested whether to equip the new army with light artillery.

Although Nishiyama also developed several small guns last year, they were all developed on the basis of the Franc machine gun, but the weight was a problem, a small three-pounder gun weighed close to 1,000 catties, plus wheels or something, four people couldn't push it.

Such a heavy cannon is naturally not the kind of artillery that Lu Xiangsheng wants that can be carried with the army, and of course it is not in line with the image of the field artillery in Zhu Youzhen's heart.

The artillery of this period was mainly cast iron, which was not strong enough, so it could only use thickness to offset the power of the projectile explosion.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, combined with durability, the barrel of the gun can only become thicker and thicker, and the weight is naturally very considerable.

Zhu Youzhen had seen several general's cannons on the city walls of the capital that were modeled on Western cannons, and the walls of the tubes were even thicker than the caliber.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen also has a slight understanding of the development process of some artillery, and naturally knows that bronze cannons have many advantages over cast iron cannons.

But bronze cannons are expensive, although the main measurement currency of the Ming Dynasty is silver, but in fact, in the people, the main force of people's daily transactions is copper coins.

Even though Zhu Youzhen was wealthy, he did not have the courage to use currency to cast artillery, so he could only get a few cast iron cannons to train the new army.

However, because of Zhu Youzhen's identity as a traverser, after manufacturing a few cast iron cannons, the Xishan Ordnance Factory directly skipped the bronze cannons and began to develop steel cannons.

However, because the production of crucible steel is limited, a few small steel cannons were produced for the new army to practice infantry cannon coordination.

Although there were only a few of them, they also suppressed these native bun vassal kings from the countryside, and after a few rounds of shelling, the vassal kings disappeared one by one.
