Chapter 42 Strengthening the City Defenses

Lao Zhu is well versed in this, so his majesty is quite severe.

After finishing this matter, Zhu Ao stretched a big lazy waist. Niang Xipi, today is the birthday of this king, and it is really a bad scenery to deal with these thieves.

Zhu Ao returned to his dormitory, Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu were still waiting for him there, and when they saw Zhu Ao coming back, they immediately greeted him and said, "Lord Chegang is gone?" ”

Zhu Ao nodded. Lan Youcheng helped Zhu Ao to the bed and asked, "What is the matter?" I have to come in the middle of the night. Delay the rest of the prince. ”

Zhu Ao sighed and said, "Someone wants to make trouble, do you think this matter is in a hurry?" ”

The second daughter was startled, and Dai Nu said, "Trouble? The prince took everyone to rejuvenate Tuntian, so that everyone could live a good life, which heartless person wanted to make trouble. ”

Lan Youcheng said with a worried face: "Who is the person who caused the trouble?" Caught it? ”

Zhu Ao hugged her in his arms and said, "A few little loaches still want to make some big waves, but of course they were caught by this king." ”

Lan Youcheng leaned her delicate body into Zhu Ao's arms and said, "Are they dissatisfied because of the reduction of treatment?" ”

Zhu Ao pinched her little face and said, "Just you're smart." After that, he waved his hand, motioned for the other palace maids to go out, and then said to Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu: "Actually, someone picked this matter." ”

Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu glanced at each other, showing expressions of disbelief, and said, "Who dares to instigate the sergeants to make trouble?" Isn't this a rebellion? ”

Zhu Ao smiled helplessly: "Rebellion? I'm afraid that people still think that this king is going to rebel. ”

Dai Nu looked puzzled, and said angrily: "The prince is a nobleman of heaven and the emperor's own son, how can there be a son who opposes his father, these people are really nonsense." ”

Lan Youcheng is the young lady of the official eunuch family, and after experiencing the zhengzhi turmoil, her eyes turned, and she understood what was going on, and said softly: "Could it be ....."

Zhu Ao stretched out his hand to cover her mouth and said, "You just need to know it in your heart, there is no need to say it." This is for you sisters to be careful not to let others get hold of you. ”

Lan Youcheng whispered as if facing a great enemy: "Yes, the slave knows." Although Dai Nu didn't know what was going on, she had always regarded Zhu Ao as the sky, and she would never disobey Zhu Ao's orders, and also said in a low voice: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

Zhu Ao hugged left and right, hugged the second daughter in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay." Today is the king's birthday, and we will not say these unpleasant words. In any case, with the two of you accompanying this king, this king will be very happy. ”

Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu were sweet in their hearts, and said in unison: "Slave maid, it is the honor of the concubine to be able to follow the prince, the slave maid, the concubine." With the words of the prince, our two sisters will definitely serve the prince more wholeheartedly in the future. ”

Zhu Ao looked at the two beauties in his arms and said, "On the big day, what do we have to play?" ”

Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu blushed and murmured in a low voice, "What does the prince want to play?" Slaves and maids, concubines are just accompanied. Thinking that he was going to serve the prince with other women tonight, both of them had a strange feeling in their hearts.

Zhu Ao raised his head and thought for a while, and said, "Do you know how to fight the landlord?" ”

The two beauties who asked this sentence suddenly stared at each other. Lan Youcheng said: "Dare to ask the prince, what is a landlord?" ”

Zhu Ao patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot, how could you be?" Come! ”

The palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door rushed in. Zhu Ao gave them the method of making a deck of playing cards, and they went their separate ways to make them.

Although the quality of poker in the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with modern ones, what can pull out pus is a good plaster, and it is better than nothing.

Zhu Ao told Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu the rules of fighting landlords, and then asked, "How is it?" Learned? ”

Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu looked at each other, and Lan Youcheng asked, "Where did the prince learn this novel thing, which surprised the slave maid?" ”

Dai Nu said: "The prince knows more novelties, and you will slowly know about it in the future." ”

Lan Youcheng said: "Yes, yes." The slave and maid followed the prince, and they really gained a lot of knowledge. ”

Zhu Ao smiled: "Okay." I'll talk about it later, so let's get started. However, you have to play this with a colorful head, otherwise it won't be interesting. ”

Dai Nu said: "Caitou? But the concubine and sister didn't have much money on them. ”

Zhu Ao said: "Is this king short of money? What's the point of simply winning? ”

Lan Youcheng seemed to sense Zhu Ao's bad intentions, and asked softly, "What does the prince want to make a color head?" ”

Zhu Ao smiled: "It's very simple, if you lose, take off your clothes until you take off naked." ”

The faces of the two beauties turned red all of a sudden, and it was the first time they had experienced this kind of play. Zhu Ao said: "What are you shy, you guys." Is there a part of your body that this king has not seen? ”

Lan Youcheng said coquettishly: "My sister and I are not afraid, if the prince loses, you are not allowed to cheat, and you are not allowed to bully me and my sister." ”

Zhu Ao said: "Is this king the kind of person who can't afford to lose?" You wait, and the king will let you lose all your money later. ”

The three of them immediately fought, and after a while, Zhu Ao lost all of them first, and the two daughters were only left with obscene clothes, and the scene was very beautiful.

Lan Youcheng smiled: "The prince has lost everything, the prince has lost everything." ”

Zhu Ao picked her up, threw her on the bed, and said, "You little girl, see if this king doesn't clean you up." ”

Zhu Ao's escort of the rebellious Qianhu and his cousins to the capital caused quite a stir in the Su Domain. Everyone knew before that the emperor's brocade guards were powerful, and they could be described as pervasive. Now I never expected that the prince's honor guard was no worse than Jinyiwei, and he could solve the big case of rebellion without realizing it. Thinking of this, everyone's fear of Zhu Ao increased a little, and they didn't dare to underestimate this prince who had just turned sixteen.

In the blink of an eye, it is winter, which is very idle, but Zhu Ao does not want to be idle, he still has a very important thing to do, that is, to build a city.

Obviously, if nothing else, next year will be a bumper harvest, happy to be happy, but there are also many hidden dangers. That is the Mongol shackles who specialize in robbery for a living. If you don't hurry up to build the city and strengthen the fortifications, then if they attack in a big way next year, you will have to make a wedding dress for others after a hard year's harvest.

He wants to be responsible for the expansion of Zhangye City, but Zhangye alone is not enough, if the enemy hits Zhangye City, it means that millions of acres of fertile land in the Zhangye area will suffer. So it was necessary to build a bridgehead for Zhangye. This bridgehead was undoubtedly Jiuquan (known as Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty). For this kind of thing of being shot in front of him, Zhu Ao naturally wanted to find his potential enemy responsible.
