Zhu Yijun wants to do this matter, because Zhu Yijun wants to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not possible to worship Emperor Taizu without a suitable reason, but before this, Zhu Yijun needs to worship all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, worship the heavens again.

Of course, this matter can't be rushed, why should it be put to next year, just let them fight for it before the year.

For these twists and turns, Zhu Yijun just took a look, and did not express his attitude, and directly chose to stay in China, which can be regarded as having no attitude. It's just that sometimes, no attitude is already an attitude, the ministers are still in the book, and in the last few rounds, Zhu Yijun can make a gesture, show modesty, and show that his merits are shallow.

Then the ministers continued to ask for the recital, excused themselves a few times, and then reluctantly accepted it.

The whole process looks like a joke, but it must be done meticulously, and Zhu Yijun is no exception.

"Emperor, someone from Dongchang has sent a secret report, which is about the Armament Division." Zhang Whale saw that Zhu Yijun had finished criticizing the folds, came to Zhu Yijun's side, and said respectfully.

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then said expressionlessly: "What happened to the Armed Forces Division?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the Armament Division conducted a new artillery experiment, which is exactly the kind of mortar that the emperor said, the kind with a tail on the shell, and it is said that the experiment was successful." Zhang Jing hurriedly said: "The people from Dongchang came to report this matter. ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and said with a smile: "Then what is Xu Guangqi doing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I am celebrating with the people of the Armed Division, and it is not taboo for the Armed Division's wine and meat tonight." Zhang Whale replied again.

Zhu Yijun nodded, stood up and walked down from the dragon book case, moved his body, Zhu Yijun walked towards the door of the main hall, walked a few steps, Zhu Yijun suddenly said: "You have a grudge against Xu Guangqi?" Or is it not pleasing to the eye to look at Xu Guangqi? Or did he offend you? ”

Zhang Whale's operation, to put it bluntly, is slander, which seems very simple, but it is fatal.

There is a saying that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, so slander is also a long-term knowledge, and it will definitely not work if the time is short.

For example, Zhang Jing's words today are that Xu Guangqi successfully experimented with the new cannon and celebrated with the Armed Forces Division, which seems to be no problem, but the subtext is not so simple. Zhang Whale's subtext is actually such an important thing, Xu Guangqi did not come to the palace to report it as soon as possible.

Why is that? is either selfish or disrespectful to the emperor, no matter what the case is, Zhu Yijun's heart will be uncomfortable.

Once this discomfort is buried, it will directly affect Zhu Yijun's attitude towards Xu Guangqi, which is a way to slander and imperceptibly add his own associations. It seems that Zhang Whale didn't say anything, just reported an intelligence, but he said everything, and the eunuchs basically have this ability.

It's just that Zhu Yijun knows what Xu Guangqi represents, and a hundred Zhang Whales can't be exchanged for one Xu Guangqi.

There are countless eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi, and there is only one in the Ming Dynasty!

After listening to Zhu Yijun's question, Zhang Whale was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Emperor, Emperor, the old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare!" ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale, smiled lightly, and said with his hands behind his back: "I don't care what you want to do, no matter what you think, in a word, Xu Guangqi values me very much, you take good care of me." If something goes wrong with Xu Guangqi, you won't even have a chance to go to Nanjing to keep the spirit. ”

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhang Whale shivered directly, his face turned pale, for so many years, the emperor has never said such cruel words, which shows how angry the emperor is about this.

Although he was not beaten, nor did he reprimand him harshly, Zhang Whale knew that this time he had really touched the emperor's scales. Sighing secretly in his heart, Zhang Whale got up from the ground, the expression on his face quickly calmed down, and he walked out expressionlessly.

Zhu Yijun didn't pay too much attention to this matter, ambition is like grass, it needs to be cut off when it grows.

However, Zhu Yijun also knew that the old eunuchs who were following him needed to be dealt with, whether it was Zhang Whale from Dongchang or Zhang Cheng from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, they were also about to retire. Maybe the growth of the younger generations has made them nervous, but sometimes, some things are not transferred by manpower.

Tapping lightly on the table, Zhu Yijun sighed, time has changed, it's really difficult!

Although Zhu Yijun thinks about a lot of things every day, time waits for no one, and the days pass day by day, and the New Year is already coming in a blink of an eye.

"Emperor, Lord Xu Guangqi is here!" Zhang Whale stood beside Zhu Yijun and said respectfully, when it came to Xu Guangqi, Zhang Whale's expression did not change in the slightest, just standing there, as always.

In fact, Zhu Yijun also knew that this was not intentional by Zhang Whale, he had no ill feelings towards Xu Guangqi, and the last time was just a temptation for himself, so Zhu Yijun twitched his big mouth without hesitation. At the same time, it also made Zhu Yijun have the idea of replacing people, Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng are both old, and there are many thoughts in office, so it is time to change.

"Let him in!" Soon Xu Guangqi walked in from outside, with excitement on his face.

Waving his hand to signal Xu Guangqi to excuse himself, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Seeing Aiqing's happy face, it is obviously a happy event, I don't know what good news Aiqing has brought to me today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has indeed brought good news to Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi said excitedly: "After the research of the Armament Division day and night, the metal cannonball was finally made, and the minister let people test it a few days ago, although it was successful, but it was still unstable, and now it has finally stabilized." ”

"The minister has already begun to let people make new rear-loading guns, and once the trial production is successful, then the Ming artillery will go to the next level.

"In addition, the minister also discovered that if he wants to solve the mass production of metal fixed shells and artillery, then he needs more and better power, so the minister is ready to focus all his energy on the steam plan for the next period of time, and now the thing that restricts Daming is power, and the water conservancy press can't solve these problems at all."

The role of the steam engine Zhu Yijun of course knows that once the steam engine is built, the musket cannon can be built, and now there are explosives, mortars and rear-loading cannons.

It's just that so far, Daming has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and the results are still very small.
