It was almost the New Year, and the capital was full of lights and beams, but the atmosphere in the Forbidden City was not very good, whether it was the eunuch or the palace lady, they all elongated their faces, and they looked gloomy, and the closer they got to the Qianqing Palace, the worse their faces were. 【Reading.com】

However, the saddest thing is obviously not them, the Tang genius in the Qianqing Palace is the saddest, after all, he is the one who faces the emperor directly, and he is also the one who vetoes the other party's unreliable opinions.

"Bohu, you're really not enlightened, isn't it good to go to sea with me? Didn't you read the letter from the eldest brother? The women there are very nice. Persuasion failed, and Zhengde began to seduce.

"This ......" I have to say that Tang Bohu's heart was still moved for a while, in fact, when he saw the report of the Lushun Conference sent by Xie Hong, his heart was itchy.

The women of the Ming Dynasty have been educated for hundreds of years, and they want to be virtuous and virtuous, so purely in terms of professional attitude, they really can't compare to the Japanese country, when Tang Dacai was in Jiangnan, he also heard some rumors, and at this time, where would he not be tempted?

"Your Majesty, anyway, the Governor's Mansion of the Japanese Dynasty will send someone over next year, so you don't have to be in a hurry." However, thinking of the emperor's departure from Beijing, uh, it should be said that the serious consequences of going to sea, Tang Bohu's little reverie immediately flew out of the clouds.

"I'm not anxious for myself, I'm anxious for you." Zhengde said earnestly: "Bohu, you see that you are not a small boss, but you are still alone, alas, those who know think that you are uninhibited and indulgent and love freedom, and those who don't know think that I abuse you, and besides, you are not married, and you are always running to the palace, it is easy to cause misunderstanding." ”

"......" Tang Bohu's snot is about to flow down, the emperor, your skill of messing around has deepened again, wow, obviously you are in a hurry to go out to play, but you actually poured dirty water on yourself, do you still look like an emperor?

"Your Majesty, although it's winter now, you can't play baseball, but can you still play billiards, and organize a billiards master tournament on the occasion of the New Year?" is really a talent, to dare to face the strange emperor, Tang Bohu worked hard unyieldingly, trying to distract Zhengde's attention, and this time he used inducement.

"That boring ......" Zhengde waved his hand and lamented: "There must be a good enough opponent in the competitive event, but now there is no one in the entire capital who is my opponent, and the invincible life is as lonely as snow!" That's why I have to go out for a walk, the world is so big, there will always be qualified opponents, well, I firmly believe it. ”

"Then continue to train the army, didn't you say that you want to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer? Now that the weather is cold, it is a good time to train the troops. ”

Automatically filtered out Zhengde's complaints in his heart, Tang Bohu gave full play to the instinct of a talent, a real talent, not only must have a talent in painting, literature, poetry, and eloquence, but also must have a crooked talent. Without these, how could he have dealt with such a strange emperor?

"Isn't that the same, training, training, and after training, you always have to fight, but what about the opponent?" Zhengde spread his hands and said angrily: "The eldest brother is not kind at all, he first beat the Jianzhou Jurchens, and then beat the sticks and Japanese people at sea, and then changed the clothes of the border army to scare the Tartars...... If I wait any longer, I'm afraid that everything in the world will be defeated by him. ”

He shook his fist vigorously and shouted: "There has never been a savior, opportunities will not fall from the sky, and you can only rely on yourself to grasp opportunities, so I must take the initiative to attack, a brilliant tomorrow is waiting for me!" ”

"......" Tang Bohu was teary-eyed, someone was running around outside, normal Huang Yanjing should be very pleased, right? Your Majesty, you are not reliable, you have to have a limit.

"Your Majesty, the old team of the Guards has only been trained for more than a year, and those recruits have only been trained for a few months, so they shouldn't be able to go to the battlefield, right?" Tang Bohu persuaded weakly, and he cried in his heart: Master Xie, Master Xie, come back quickly, such a master, only you can handle it, Xiaosheng really can't bear it.

Zhengde said confidently: "So, I'm going to Tianjin, isn't the big brother's navy formed?" And he also built a big boat, haha, he promised me that as long as I have a big boat that is not afraid of wind and waves, I can go and play...... No, it's to patrol the Ming Dynasty's maritime frontier. ”

Tang Bohu couldn't resist it, and hurriedly glanced behind Zhengde and asked the third prince for help.

"Bohu, you don't know, do you? I heard from Stack Ears and Yasan the Fire Maker that the women of Europa are in good shape, and of course, I am not a person who listens to and believes them, so I will verify them myself...... Bohu, do you have eye pain? Otherwise, why has it been blinking since just now? ”

"Minister...... Blinded by the wind and sand. Tang Bohu scolded in his heart, a dead eunuch is a dead eunuch, there is no festival at all, the emperor is going to Europa, and the dead junior didn't even say it to persuade him, those two people are even more hateful, what are you doing to say these things to the emperor? Even if the women there are in better shape, it depends on the skin of the fan...... Cut, it's a nightmare to the touch!

"......" The third father-in-law felt the anger in Tang Bohu's eyes, but he still didn't move his nose and eyes, nonsense, our family used to be a genius, how can we always remember to eat and not remember? After being kicked so many times, you have to have a little bit of heart to become it, being a eunuch is already miserable, and being kicked every day, how bleak is such a life.

"Bohu, since you are against it, then you should stay in the capital, it is said that you should let the eldest brother come back to sit in the town, and then it will be right for me to go to sea, but he can't leave Liaodong, so I will bother you and Yangming." Zhengde simply explained two sentences, and then waved his hand to signal the third father-in-law to prepare to go.

"San'er, go pack your luggage, let's go to Tianjin."

"Your Majesty......" Tang Bohu is really anxious, don't look at the calm in the capital now, but there are waves underneath it.

Although it has not been confirmed, and the emperor has not been informed, all kinds of signs indicate that the Jiangnan scholars are likely planning to send a large number of troops and horses to attack Lushun or Wudao, and if the emperor goes out of Beijing again at this time, it is difficult to say what situation will evolve.

In addition, the matter of the vassal king's entry into the capital is also in full swing, the envoys are heading to various places, and the nearest few vassal kings have even moved, at this juncture, if the emperor really goes out of the capital, it will not be a big chaos in the world!

What to do? Tang Bohu was at a loss.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shilang asks to see you." Facts have proved that there is still a savior in the world, at least for Tang Bohu, who is at a critical moment, Zhang Cai fell from the sky.

Although he did not step on the colorful auspicious clouds, Tang Bohu was still moved to tears, if it was a different occasion, he would definitely give Zhang Cai a hug, it was so timely, at the critical moment, he had to rely on his friends.

"Zhang Cai? He came back from Lushun? Let him in......"

Zhengde frowned, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and then said to Zhang Cai, who was trotting in: "You want to report on the Lushun meeting, right?" It's basically explained in the eldest brother's letter, and I'm very busy right now, if there's nothing else to do, then don't bother me. ”

Zhang Cai wiped a cold sweat, as soon as he entered the capital, he received the news that the situation in the palace was critical, so he hurried over, but he didn't expect that the crisis had reached such a level, fortunately, the Hou Ye had an arrangement, otherwise it would be really bad today.

He threw a reassuring look at Tang Bohu, and then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has received the entrustment of the champion Hou, and there is something important to enlighten ......."

"Then give you five minutes." Zhengde held the pocket watch in one hand, and spread the five fingers of the other hand, signaling to Zhang Cai, with a very reluctant expression, but the tone was categorical.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xie asked Weichen to bring you a message, and he also brought something, it was a new idea he came up with, and it was said to be very interesting......" Zhang Cai originally wanted to talk about things first, but as a result of Zhengde's posture, he had to show his hole cards first, if he could convince the emperor by eloquence alone, Brother Bohu would not have that kind of look, and he still had to rely on Lord Xie at the critical moment.

"Oh? New ideas? Xie Hong's brand effect is still very strong, Zhengde's eyes rolled, although his tone was a little suspicious, but it was a little different from the appearance of the roar just now, and he was obviously moved.

"What is it, show it to me first." However, Zhu Houzhao is also an assertive and good at reading and thinking, and he thinks that he still needs to look at the goods before making a decision.

"Obey." Zhang Cai bowed down to answer, and then trotted out again, and after a while, he led the two eunuchs back, and the two carried a large box in their hands, but it didn't seem to be very difficult, and obviously the contents were of little weight.

"It's very light, and what is in it will be interesting?" Zhengde circled around the box twice and lightly kicked it twice with his foot, not very satisfied with the weight of the box.

"Interesting, definitely interesting, this is designed by Lord Xie himself." Zhang Cai patted his chest and lifted the lid of the box, revealing the true face of Lushan inside?

"It's ...... Ball? Is Keju used? The box was full of round balls, Zhengde picked one up, felt the touch, and then turned it upside down with his feet, the movements were like flowing water, and he was very skillful.

"This ball is good, it's very elastic, it's much better than the kind made of leather, and it's also made of rubber, right? But ......" Zhengde began to express his feelings, praised two sentences, and then changed the conversation and said: "What's so fun about Keju?" Much worse than baseball, right? ”

Zhang Cai took out a manuscript from his arms and handed it to Zhengde: "That's different, Your Majesty, you see, there are new rules drawn up by Hou Ye here, although this kind of ball is very similar to Keju, but it is much more fun than Keju, this is called football." ”

"Oh? Hmm, ha, it's really interesting......" Zhengde flipped through the manuscript, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

The two talented men breathed a sigh of relief, what talent is not as good as a genius, if they want to deal with the emperor, they really have to thank Lord Xie for coming out, and they made a few balls casually, and the emperor was done.

"Your Majesty, the football game is not only interesting in itself, but also can be ......" Zhang Cai's eyes were very good, and seeing that Zhengde had already moved his heart, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "There are some other things outside, which are also specially prepared for you by the champion Hou." ”

"Well, it's really interesting, so let's do it, anyway, it's not fun to go to sea in winter, wait until summer."

After struggling in his heart for a while, Zhengde decided to take care of the present first, anyway, the sea will not run away by itself, and life is still long, so it's not too late to talk slowly.
