After Zhu Hong's third and other soldiers finished laughing, he pointed to a middle-level officer below and said, "Lao Wang, you are now the regiment commander?" Tell me how much land Lao Tzu gave you? ”

The old king said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the lower officials will follow Your Majesty in twelve battles, accumulate merit and be promoted to the head of the regiment, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, with 1,216 acres of land and two factories!" ”

"Okay, tell me how many wives you married!"

"Hehe, thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, Lao Wang originally had a yellow-faced woman, who married three local Japanese women in the expedition to the Japanese country, and now he has two sons and one daughter!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said to the others, "See?" As long as you are willing to work hard for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will give you money and beautiful land! If you make a great contribution, Lao Tzu will make you a prince, just see if you have the ability! ”

Zhu Hongsan has not had a large number of feudal marquis since Guangzhou, and unlike the Yongli Emperor's indiscriminate feudals, Zhu Hongsan has at most given a hereditary brocade guard hundred households and thousands of households, as for those dukes and marquises, they can only be canonized after the unification of the whole country.

All the soldiers on the playground were in a surging mood when they were agitated by Zhu Hongsan, and shouted one by one: Long live Your Majesty!

At this time, behind Zhu Hongsan, on the edge of the crown prince Zhu Hai, a child's voice shouted: "It's really majestic to be an emperor, and I want to be an emperor too!" ”

As soon as this voice came out, there was silence on the high platform, and everyone looked at the source of the children's voice, and the one who didn't know death dared to say this!

The crown prince Zhu Hai's face was like ashes at this time, and this Tongyin was his son, that is, Zhu Shengduo, the eldest son of the concubine, said.

Zhu Shengduo was born in the second year of Shenwu, according to the algorithm of ancient Chinese people, he is six years old this year, although he is young, but he has Zhu Hai's excellent genes, and Zhu Shengduo, who is five or six years old, has grown to the waist of an adult, and is about the same height as a seven or eight-year-old boy.

After Zhu Shengduo's mother Xiang died, Zhu Hongsan handed him over to Qian Yuting for adoption. However, Zhu Hongsan has been fighting in the east and west in the past few years, and he has not seen this eldest grandson. Today, Zhu Hongsan ordered all adult princes to go out of the city, and Zhu Shengduo pestered his father Zhu Hai to go, but Zhu Hai had no choice but to take him out, who knew that he would say such a rebellious thing at the scene.

Zhu Hai heard his son say this, and quickly pulled Zhu Shengduo to his knees, kowtowed to Zhu Hongsan and said: "Father, the son has no way to discipline him, let Zhu Shengduo say such a rebellious word, please punish my father!" ”

Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, was originally at odds with the crown prince, but now he sees this good opportunity and doesn't beat the water dogs?

"Brother Prince, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, the eldest nephew may have heard you say a lot at home before he said it smoothly!"

Zhu Huai's words are ill-intentioned, the prince said too much at home? Say what? Am I going to be emperor? The crown prince was originally the prince, can't you wait and want to learn from Li Shimin?

Zhu Hai heard Zhu Huai fall into the well on the side, and quickly kowtowed and said: "Father, don't listen to the third brother's nonsense, Erchen didn't say that at home at all!" ”

Just when the prince was apprehensive, Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything, just looked at the five or six-year-old Zhu Shengduo with interest.

What is the occasion? There were fifty or sixty thousand people in the entire playground, and the atmosphere was solemn, and this child could say that sentence without any scruples, either because he was nervous or ambitious.

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and pulled Zhu Shengduo, and he took a closer look at this eldest grandson for the first time. Zhu Shengduo's eyebrows are very similar to Zhu Hongsan, especially those eyes, which are almost the same as Zhu Hongsan.

"You little one, why did you say that?" Zhu Hongsan saw that Zhu Shengduo was a little frightened by the atmosphere, so he asked in a soft voice.

"Grandpa Huang is the emperor, he can make ten thousand people die, and his grandson looks majestic, so he said that!" Zhu Shengduo said loudly in a child's voice.

The more Zhu Hongsan looks at this grandson, the more he likes it, his authority has become more and more prosperous in recent years, not to mention the courtiers below, that is, Zhu Hai and several other adult princes trembled when they saw him, only this weak-crowned child, but he was not afraid of his emperor's authority.

"Oh? Little one, do you know what you just said is disrespectful? ”

"Grandpa Huang, you are the emperor, and your grandson's father is the crown prince, so should your grandson be the emperor in the future? So what the grandson said is not wrong! ”

Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Zhu Shengduo said. Zhu Hai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw his father smile, it seemed that this crisis had passed.

Zhu Hongsan picked up Zhu Shengduo and asked, "I let the adult prince out of the city, why did you run out with him?" ”

"Grandpa Huang, it's really boring to be in the palace, Uncle Seventh refuses to play with me, he only cares about studying, so my grandson begged my father to take me out!"

The seventh uncle in Zhu Shengduo's mouth is Zhu Xun, the son of the noble concubine Qian Yuting, who is one year older than Zhu Shengduo and has entered school this year.

Zhu Hongsan touched Zhu Shengduo's little face and asked, "I found the master's degree Hongru for your seventh uncle, why don't you follow suit?" ”

"My grandson feels that learning is not of much use, and if I learn too much, I will be stupid, just like Uncle Seven, what is the meaning of Shiyun every day? It's still fun to fight on horseback! ”

"Fighting on horseback? Have you ever ridden a horse? "The harem management is very strict, not to mention fighting, each of these dragon sons and grandsons has seven or eight people to take care of, so can they fight and fight like ordinary children?

"I've never ridden a horse, but I've had a fight!"

"Oh? Who are you fighting with? "Zhu Hongsan is very curious, is there anyone in the harem who dares to fight with him?

"It's me and the seventh uncle against the sixth uncle and the eighth uncle, they are not opponents, and they have to find someone to help every time!"

Hearing that it turned out to be some children's games, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but wonder: "Little guy, what do you like if you don't like to learn?" ”

Zhu Shengduo heard the emperor ask about this, and replied happily: "My grandson likes muskets, but I haven't touched them, and the brocade guards in the palace don't let my grandson touch them!" ”

Zhu Hongsan heard him say this and smiled: "Okay, I'll let you touch it today!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he reached out and took a short-handled firearm from the Jinyi guard beside him and handed it to Zhu Shengduo.

Of course, the firearms used by the Jinyiwei are all high-quality, with brass triggers and hammers, and barrels made of stainless steel, revealing the glow of the industrial age.

Zhu Shengduo couldn't put it down after taking it, Zhu Hongsan saw that he liked it so much, and asked, "It's fun!" How about a shot? ”

"Good! Grandpa Huang taught me! ”

Zhu Shengduo was taught by Zhu Hong's three hands, loaded gunpowder, did not load lead bullets, and then shot the sky.

After hearing the gunshot, Zhu Shengduo was very happy and shouted: "Grandpa Huang, is it okay to give this musket to your grandson!" ”

Looking at Zhu Shengduo, who was happy to play with the musket, Zhu Hongsan felt that he was back to Zhu Hai's childhood, when he was in the stage of rapid development, he had no time to accompany Zhu Hai, and every time he returned home, Zhu Hai was like Zhu Shengduo who liked to pester himself and ask questions.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but look at Zhu Hai who was kneeling on the side, but what he saw was no longer the son who admired and looked at him, but turned into a panicked prince.

Zhu Hongsan sighed secretly, it seems that he will never go back to the past, thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Shengduo: "Zhu Shengduo, since you like the army, so be it!" How did I take you with me on this Northern Expedition? ”

Zhu Shengduo was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't want to stay in the palace for a long time, except for the eunuchs and palace maids, the only few friends had to study every day, and they didn't have time to play with him. Now that the emperor's grandfather is willing to take himself on the expedition, it is naturally good.

Zhu Shengduo looked at his father Zhu Hai, Zhu Hai hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Father, Zhu Shengduo is still young, and he will enter school next year, and following his father on the expedition will inevitably delay his studies!" ”

Zhu Hongsan snorted: "Hmph, what's the good of studying, you can't recognize a few big characters, it's not the same to sweep the world with the army?" All right! I decided to take Zhu Shengduo on the expedition, prince, you should stay in Beijing and supervise the country! After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he took Zhu Shengduo off the high platform, rode on a horse and hurried to the Jinchuanmen ferry, preparing to cross the Yangtze River.

Zhu Hai saw his father leaving with his son, and quickly stood up, he didn't like his father taking Zhu Shengduo away, but his father favored Zhu Shengduo, so something big would happen in his family!

Zhu Hai now has two sons, one is the eldest son Zhu Shengduo and the other is the son-in-law Zhu Shengyu, the indisputable successor of the crown prince is Zhu Shengyu, because Zhu Shengyu's external justice is the first assistant Ma Mingyuan. Now Zhu Hai can sit firmly in the position of the crown prince is all the credit of Ma Mingyuan, and now his father is so good to Zhu Shengduo, it will inevitably make Ma Mingyuan feel guilty, if his position is unstable because of such a trivial matter, it will be more than worth the loss.

Zhu Hai saw that his father was gone, so he didn't dare to delay, and went directly back to his prince's East Palace, and asked Shuangxi to find his advisors, Xia Wanchun and Qian Yiai.

After a while, the two strategists arrived, and Xia Wanchun bowed down and asked, "Your Highness, didn't you go out of the city to see Your Majesty?" How did you come back so early? ”

"Hey, the two gentlemen don't know, there was a big event outside the city just now, and this palace has just come back to summon the two gentlemen, please analyze what should I do?" After Zhu Hai finished speaking, he told him what happened outside the city just now.

Xia Wanchun was very unhappy after hearing this, stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, how can you take the emperor and grandson out of the city without permission?" This incident let Ma Shoufu know how to be good! ”

"Hey, I'm worried about this, so I'm looking for two of you to see how to make up for it!"

Xia Wanchun thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, since the matter has come to this point, please ask Your Highness to make it clear to Ma Shoufu, and promise that in the future, you will definitely appoint your son-in-law Zhu Shengyu as the son!" ”

Qian Yiai sneered when he heard Xia Wanchun say this on the side, "Hmph! Woman's view! I thought you Xia Cungu had some tricks! It turns out that it's not the crime of pleading! ”

Xia Wanchun and Qian Yiai are simply roosters who can't see centipedes, and they have to fight when they meet. Xia Wanchun heard Qian Yiai say that he had no good ideas, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay! You are resourceful and resourceful, Xia will see what you can do! ”

Qian Yiai touched his short beard and said, "This is very simple, why do you want to go to Ma Shoufu to tell it?" The prince is the prince, and if there is a situation, he is also the first assistant to find the prince! ”
