If it was still the same as before, Zhu Houzhao would not give them this opportunity.

Now Da Ming doesn't need to appease them anymore, if he is not convinced, he can come over and fight, but Zhu Houzhao estimates that they don't dare.

Nowadays, whether it is in the northwest or in the east of Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty is all expanding, and several new cities are also under construction. After the completion of these new city constructions, the Ming Dynasty became a pincer attack on the central grassland.

Once this situation is formed, Dayan Khan's survival range will become smaller. Whether it is to the west or to the east, there is no room for expansion, unless he chooses to go north.

Looking up at Zhang Jun in front of him, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Just do the things in front of you well." ”

Zhang Jun also nodded, but he still asked a question with a slight hesitation.

He looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how is the progress on the Royal Academy?" ”

In fact, this matter is not for a courtier to ask, because this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Jun.

However, in private, both Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Jun understand that this matter is still related to Zhang Jun.

Because Zhu Houzhao promised the family, once the negotiations were completed, he would let him go to the Royal Academy.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think about changing his mind about this matter, but he knew what Zhang Jun was worried about.

The location of the Royal Academy is now being watched by many people.

Because the previous martial arts academy has set a good example for everyone, if you can enter the Royal Academy, you will become a confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The most important point is that this is a place to teach officials, so that you can train your own team here in the future.

Many people want to put their hands into this, and this is also human nature. Even the three academics of the Cabinet have already taken an interest.

Zhang Jun is the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and it is naturally no problem to get a position with his qualifications. But he wants more, he wants better, and that's a problem. So he wanted to befriend His Royal Highness the Prince.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, nodded and said with a smile: "Things are going very smoothly." When the negotiations with Horqin's side are completed, the palace will advise his father and let Aiqing participate in this matter. Bengong has also been searching for suitable candidates, but after looking around, he found that Aiqing was the most suitable. ”

This sentence is not that Zhu Houzhao gave Zhang Jun a relief pill, but that he really thought so.

Whether it is his background or experience as an official, Zhang Jun is the most suitable candidate, so Zhu Houzhao is ready to use him.

It's not easy to find such a person. Because I also have to take into account my father's thoughts. I have already stretched out my hand to the military, and I have not touched it on the civilian side.

Although the name of this time is called the Royal Academy, in fact, this is a school for training officials, and if you still use your own henchmen to do this, it is difficult for my father to explain it.

This Zhang Jun is his father's henchman, and he naturally had a lot less trouble in the past.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Zhang Jun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I have received the promise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally there is no big problem. It is impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be untrustworthy, and even if he can't do it in the future, he will not be less compensated for himself. The point is that for such a long time, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is true to his word.

When Zhu Houzhao was about to say something more, Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side, his hands and feet were very light, and he put his head to Zhu Houzhao's ear and said, "Your Highness, Yang Lian and Mu Bin are here." ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, but he didn't expect the two of them to come together. It seems that this time there is a reward.

Originally, I wanted to continue to communicate with Zhang Jun about the teaching ideas of the Royal Academy or something, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity. But there's no rush in this matter, and it's not a big deal to talk about it later.

Glancing at Zhang Jun, Zhu Houzhao said: "There is still a little matter here in the palace, so Aiqing will go and get busy first." ”

Ever since Zhang Jun saw Liu Jin come in, he knew that something was going on, because His Royal Highness the Prince's face had changed.

So Zhang Jun also stood up, saluted Zhu Houzhao respectfully, and then said, "The minister retires." ”

After Zhang Jun left, Zhu Houzhao instructed Liu Jin beside him: "Okay, let the two of them come in." ”

It didn't take long for Yang Lian and Mu Bin to walk in from outside.

The expressions of the two people were very serious, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, they knelt on the ground together and said: "Ministers (slaves), see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said in a casual tone: "Okay, there are no other people here, so there is no need to be so polite." If you have something to say, get up and say! ”

After both of them stood up, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Is it that the palace asked you to investigate?" ”

Yang Lian took a step forward and said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, I did find something. We've arrested some people, traced some clues, and although we haven't continued to dig deeper, we've found something. The matter is very involved, and the slaves and maids dare not call the shots, so they specially came to report to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Let's talk about it!" Zhu Houzhao leaned on the couch expressionlessly, waiting for the two of them to answer him.

Yang Lian glanced at Mu Bin beside her, and then said: "Lord Mu, this is from your Jinyi Guard, or Lord Mu, you can come and come!" ”

Mu Bin glanced at Yang Lian, shook his head and said: "Gonggong Yang is in charge of the whole thing, and Jinyiwei doesn't contribute much, so it's better for Gonggong Yang, after all, you are in charge of the overall situation." ”

"Okay, Yang Lian, come on." Zhu Houzhao interrupted the conversation between the two people, and there was some impatience in his tone.

The two of them naturally didn't dare to delay any longer, and Yang Lian hurriedly told the whole story. From arresting Zhang Sheng by himself, to going to Qin Yong's house with the two of them, to going back to the casino by himself, and catching Wei San and others, they all said one by one.

After saying this, Yang Lian finally said: "That Wei San, the slave maid hasn't had time to interrogate yet, because Jin Yiwei interrogated something from Qin Yong's housekeeper. The stakes are very high, and the slave maid and Master Mu dare not be proficient. ”

"Alright, let's talk about it!" Zhu Houzhao sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "This palace wants to hear what you dare not specialize in." A palm print eunuch of the Huanyi Bureau, a commander of the Jinyi Guard, the palace wants to hear it. ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, here is the confession of Qin Yong's housekeeper." At this time, Mu Bin stood up and presented a confession with both hands.

Liu Jin hurriedly presented the confession to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao took the confession and took a quick look.
