On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, in the small year, Zhu Hongsan finally finished dealing with the affairs in hand. The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty had the right to vote, and some major national affairs were proposed by the cabinet, and then handed over to the celebrant for approval, that is, the decision was made. Although Zhu Hongsan is lazy, he is also a modern person in terms of thinking, and some major events do not worry about those dead eunuchs at all. So now the right to approve the red is in the hands of Zhu Hongsan.

However, it is not necessary for Zhu Hongsan to make three batches of red, and Zhu Hongsan has made a small improvement of the batches of red. After the cabinet votes were drafted and sent to Zhu Hongsan, the newly established Military Aircraft Department once again refined the essence of the comments that had already been put forward by the cabinet, and then singled out important military and government affairs and handed them over to Zhu Hongsan for confirmation.

In this way, the military aircraft department and the Ming Dynasty's ceremonial supervisor are good, but the military aircraft department is also responsible for sorting out the information transmitted by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, so the authority of the military aircraft department is a little greater than that of the ceremonial supervisor.

Now Zhang Jiayu, a member of the Military Aircraft Department, has been transferred, led by Chen Bangyan in the "Lingnan Three Loyalties". After Chen Zizhuang returned to Zhu Hongsan, the families of Guangdong began to throw themselves into Zhu Hongsan. This Chen Bangyan is one of them. Chen Bangyan set up a museum to give lectures in his early years, and was a famous Confucian teacher in Nanyue at that time.

Zhu Hongsan said to Chen Bangyan: "Mr. Ling Bin, there is nothing to take a holiday, don't work overtime for the New Year." ”

Chen Bangyan bowed down and said: "Prison country, there are still some finishing touches, it can be completed tonight, and there are things in the prison country to go first!" ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded, packed up and went out to go home.

Now Zhu Hongsan's home is no longer Zhangjiazhuang, Dongguan, it has all become a commercial area, and the former Chu Wangfu has completely become the office of Zhu Hongsan's regime. All the departments are crammed into this small village. Zhu Hongsan only has a three-entry courtyard here for daily rest, and his current home is in the city of Guangzhou.

In May this year, Zhu Hongsan saw that the housing was becoming increasingly tight, so he moved his wife and children to Guangzhou first, found a big yard to live in first, and waited for the king of Chu outside the city to build it next year.

Zhu Hongsan came to the courtyard of the cabinet and saw that there was still a lot of people, and the cabinet members were preparing the income and expenditure of Hongguang for the first year and the budget for next year. The annual budget meeting will be held after the turn of the year and the 16th day of the first lunar month, so the cabinet is seizing the last time to make a budget.

Zhu Hongsan stood at the door and watched, but he didn't go in, it seems that the cabinet will be working overtime again tonight. Zhu Hongsan's matter is over, and he is now going back to his home in Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year with his family.

Out of the gate, a luxurious carriage stopped at the door, and the front and rear were full of guards. This is Zhu Hongsan's guard company, which is said to be a guard company, but now it has a scale of 600 people, far exceeding the company's establishment.

Now the commander of the guard company is still Zhu Hongyi, and when he saw Zhu Hongsan coming out, he got on the horse to escort Zhu Hongsan home.

Zhu Hongsan's carriage came to Dongguan Wharf, and it was the new magistrate of Dongguan who saw Zhu Hongsan off on the wharf, the third child of the Ma family, and Ma Jingyuan. The unlucky Ma Laosan was thrown by Zhu Hongsan as a county magistrate in Xin'an County two years ago, and it was really no big deal for less than 10,000 people to go to the county. Because of the proximity to the military port of Xunhaidao and the expansion of Zhu Hongsan's navy, the entire Xin'an County has now been annexed by the military port, and there are more sailors in it than the people in the county. Ma Jingyuan's position is very embarrassing, how can he, a civil affairs officer, reach out and enter the navy.

Ma Jingyuan worked aggrievedly for two years, during which he looked for Ma Mingyuan and Ma Xiaofang countless times. Ma Mingyuan didn't have much affection for this younger brother, and Tong Yangjia, a sworn enemy in the court, looked at him, and he didn't have time to deal with this unlucky younger brother.

Ma Jiyuan doesn't want to see this younger brother, Ma Jiyuan doesn't look down on his own concubine, Ma Rufeng is still farming in Zhaoqing, Ma Jiyuan didn't even ask, there is still this younger brother.

Only Ma Xiaofang is very concerned about this third brother, after all, the brother and sister are about the same age, and their relationship is also the deepest. Ma Xiaofang watched the third brother mix like this, and looked for Zhu Hongsan many times.

Zhu Hongsan is still worried about Ma Jingyuan's bullying of himself when he was a child, but he can't stand Ma Xiaofang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, just at this time, Gong Dacheng, the magistrate of Dongguan County, was transferred to Guangzhou Tongzhi, and Zhu Hongsan left this position to Ma Jingyuan.

Ma Jingyuan is thirty-eight years old this year, and the years of waste have already polished his edges and corners. When I received that the King of Chu was going home for the New Year today, I was at the dock early to prepare for farewell.

At noon, he saw the carriage of the King of Chu coming, and Ma Jingyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dongguan County sends off the prison country!" ”

Zhu Hongsan got out of the car and saw Ma Jingyuan, and he was very happy. What is the most successful way to be a human being? Isn't it just seeing the former enemy bow his head in front of him?

"Ah, it turned out to be the third brother, how did you spend the New Year! Why don't you go back to Guangzhou with me for the New Year! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the prison country will hand over Dongguan to the management of his subordinates, and the ministers will ensure that the factory will start day and night, and the major events of the prison country cannot be delayed!"

It seems that Ma Laosan has also grown up, and he is no longer the second stunned man before. Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything when he saw him like this, got off the carriage and got on the boat to return to Guangzhou.

Seeing Ma Jingyuan on the boat, he waited until the boat left the dock before getting up and going back. Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi said: "Big brother, what do you think of Ma Laosan?" ”

Zhu Hongyi was noncommittal, just nodded. Zhu Hongyi knew that Zhu Hongsan had always hated Ma Jingyuan for breaking his head back then, but after so many years, this hatred should also fade.

On the night of 23 July, Zhu Hongsan's ship arrived at the No. 1 wharf of Tianzi in Guangzhou, and now Zhu Hongsan is the actual controller of Guangzhou, and there are more than 12,000 people in three regiments in Guangzhou alone. On the wharf, officials of all sizes in Guangzhou came to greet the emperor.

Zhu Hongsan got off the boat and saw that the officials of the first government and two counties in Guangzhou City were all led by the prefect Yu Shilong and the same governor Gong Dacheng to the dock to greet them.

Zhu Hongsan looked around, only Guangzhou Mansion, and none of the other provincial-level cadres came, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, these stinky old nines are still fucking stinky shelves.

But there is no way, Zhu Hongsan has been in this era for so many years, and he knows a lot about the temper of these intellectuals. The literati of the Ming Dynasty were not as flattering and bent as the Manchus later, and their bones were very hard. When Emperor Zhengde came to Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, the prefect of Suzhou dared to say in front of the emperor that he would let the emperor go quickly, which was unimaginable in the Manchu Dynasty.

So Zhu Hongsan also knew the temper of these literati, and he didn't take it to heart. Today, the prefect of Guangzhou Mansion is also the prefect Yu Shilong is grateful for his promotion from Tongzhi to the prefect, so he organized people to welcome the king of Chu to avoid a cold scene.

Yu Shilong respects Zhu Hongsan on the surface, but in his heart he is also very disgusted with this prince who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, smokes, cheats, abducts, and steals all kinds of drugs, and takes people back after finishing his face.

Staying at the dock was the new Nanhai County Commander Li Fugui, this guy assisted Feng Ziyong in the construction of the Guangzhou Development Zone, and moved from the position of magistrate to Nanhai County as the magistrate. Although they are all seven grades, the meaning is different. The magistrate of the county is called Baili Hou, in fact, the emperor of the soil, so Lao Li was grateful to Zhu Hongsan and came to the dock early to greet him.

Seeing that Li Fugui was still at the dock, Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and patted Li Fugui on the shoulder and said, "The clothes are not as good as the newcomers and the old, it seems that Lao Li still has feelings!" ”

Li Fugui felt that after being slapped by Zhu Hongsan, he was lighter, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and cried: "His Royal Highness is my old Li's reborn parents, and my Lao Li is willing to die for the prison country!" ”

Seeing that the county order was so shameless, the officials of Nanhai County were so disgusted that they vomited. This Li Daxian is very shameless. They didn't know that this was completely Li Fugui's true feelings, and if Li Fugui was asked to block the knife for Zhu Hongsan now, he would definitely have nothing to say. Ordinary people are so realistic, whoever treats me well will give him his life.

Zhu Hongsan helped Li Fugui up and said, "Lao Li, bring your wife and children to this king's house for the New Year in a few days!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials in Nanhai County were dumbfounded, how could they think that they could get so many benefits just by patting their sycophants, and celebrating the New Year with the prison country, this is the treatment of the emperor's relatives and relatives, I knew that I cried together just now.

They didn't know that this was Zhu Hongsan's gratitude to Li Fugui, and to thank him for his kindness in Zhangjiazhuang at that time, regardless of his own life, and to call the police to let Zhu Hongsan, who had raped the people's daughter, escape.

Li Fugui nodded again and again, got up and sent Zhu Hongsan's carriage back to the temporary Chu Palace.

The temporary Chu Wangfu was the house of a sugar merchant in Leizhou Prefecture, but after the Leizhou incident, these sugar merchants were beheaded by Zhu Hongsan, and their family property also fell into Zhu Hongsan's hands. Zhu Hongsan picked a big house to live in by himself, and gave the rest to others.

The gate of the Chu Wang's Mansion was heavily guarded, and the door was full of soldiers. One of the three regiments stationed in Guangzhou was specifically responsible for guarding Zhu Hongsan. This regiment lives around the temporary palace, and can be rushed to the scene if there is something. There are also 600 guards in the palace, and the guard companies are all veterans who have made war exploits on the front line, and each of them has the rank of second lieutenant, which can be said to be one to ten. Zhu Hongsan is very afraid of death now, and his own safety is the top priority.

The family has been notified that they are coming back today, so the whole palace is full of joy. Now there are nearly 100 eunuchs in the palace, some of whom went south after the city of Nanjing was broken, and some people recruited by Cao Fang who volunteered to be eunuchs in the local area, and entered the palace after cutting. Don't think that being a eunuch is simple, and castration is a handicraft when medical treatment is not developed in ancient times, and it has always been a unique skill of several families.

The first batch of eunuchs in the palace were castrated by the original "knife Zhang" family in Beijing. They originally wanted to escape to Nanjing, but they didn't expect Nanjing to be sure, so they had to go south all the way to Guangzhou, but they didn't expect to be touched by Cao Fang, which was just used to cleanse these good young people who were aspiring to be eunuchs.
