Jiang Bin was very depressed during this time, originally the last time he and Qian Ning met Emperor Zhengde together, he was in danger immediately, Qian Ning was timid, after seeing that the tiger was too powerful, he was scared to squat in the corner and did not dare to step forward, all relying on him to save him desperately, which made Zhengde out of danger, and it was from when Emperor Zhengde was obedient to him, and at the same time alienated Qian Ning.

Without Qian Ning's biggest opponent, Jiang Bin's power has been strengthened again, and now he not only controls the 40,000 border troops in the Beijing camp, but also gets a position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although it coincides with Qian Ning's position, and it is only a false name, and he is not actually in charge, but he can already put his hand into the Jinyi Guard.

In addition, Jiang Bin also saw that Emperor Zhengde did not like to stay in the palace very much, and was very yearning for the outside world, and he especially liked the military, so Jiang Bin had been encouraging Zhengde to go to his hometown Xuanfu to play, firstly, in order to do what he liked, and secondly, his current identity is different, if he can return to his hometown with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it will naturally be the most glorious brocade to return to his hometown, and then the entire Xuanfu will be the most powerful except for Emperor Zhengde.

Originally, Jiang Bin's persuasion of Zhengde to go to Xuanfu had already been decided, and he had already begun to prepare for departure, but what he never expected was that at this critical moment, Emperor Zhengde suddenly announced that Zhou Chong, the governor of the four seas, turned out to be his own brother, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming, this news caught Jiang Bin a little off guard, and when he reacted, the plaques of Zhao Wangfu in the capital had already been hung up.

If it was an ordinary prince, Jiang Bin would not take it seriously, for example, the King of Ning, who was far away in Nanchang, often gave some gifts to the magnates in the capital, and even Qian Ning also had a relationship with that King Ning, but Jiang Bin did not give King Ning the slightest face, and all the gifts he gave were returned. Because he knew that although the status of those vassal kings was noble, they had no power, and they would definitely ask for gifts for themselves in the future. And you have to take a certain amount of risk, so it's better to refuse them all now.

It's just that Zhou Chong, the new king of Zhao, is different from the ordinary vassal king, first, Zhengde has no heirs, and the future throne will either be King Zhao's or King Zhao's son, which can be guessed just by looking at Zhengde's permission to live in the capital. In addition, Zhou Zhong is not one of those vassal kings who has no real power, the other party has served as the governor of the four seas for many years, and has incomparable power overseas, and the three navies he created with his own hands are also extremely elite, and I heard that they are invincible at sea. has already brought the entire Nanyang into the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and such a figure is naturally not comparable to ordinary vassal kings.

It was Jiang Bin who knew that His Royal Highness King Zhao was extraordinary, so after knowing that His Majesty the Emperor had handed over the affairs of the military academy to Zhou Chong, after seriously thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to give up control of the military academy. After all, with the current identity and power of King Zhao, it is definitely not something he can compare with now, if he does not know each other and gives up, then it is likely to attract King Zhao's revenge on him in the end, and I am afraid that even His Majesty will not be able to protect himself.

Speaking of military schools, the biggest role of military schools is not only to train generals for military schools, but also to facilitate the imperial court to control the army. In addition, it is also a sharp weapon to unite the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, when the cadets who graduated from the military academy control the army, these cadets are born with a layer of friendship, in the face of the suppression of the civilian clique, they will no longer be like the previous predecessors to become a plate of scattered sand, but will form an alliance to confront the civilian clique. At that time, the military academy will become the core of the military alliance of military generals, and it can be said that as long as the military academy is mastered, it is equivalent to mastering the future of the Ming army, and at the same time, it will also control half of the imperial court situation.

Jiang Bin had served as an instructor in a military academy, so he naturally knew the role of military schools better than anyone else. It's a pity that now because of Zhou Chong's arrival, Jiang Bin can only watch the military academy that will be in hand be taken over by Zhou Chong, and he has to cut off all ties with the military school and completely draw the line with the military school, in order to avoid conflict with Zhou Chong, which makes him really unwilling.

However, although the military academy is important, but for a person like Jiang Bin who relies on Zhengde's favor and trust, the most important thing is to please Zhengde, as long as he can maintain his favor, then Jiang Bin's power will increase day by day, and even when his power is big enough, it is not impossible to kick King Zhao away and take the military school back.

It is precisely knowing this, so Jiang Bin quickly cheered up from the blow of the military academy, and after washing up this morning, he immediately led people into the palace, today is the end of the month, according to Zhengde's previous temperament, he wants to try the bow and arrow with them, and even when he is interested, he will go to Xiyuan to hunt, and this is the best time for Jiang Bin to show himself.

Jiang Bin has now replaced Qian Ning as the first favorite minister of Zhengde, so when he came to the palace gate, no one stopped him at all, and it was very easy to come to the leopard room where Jiang Bin lived.

"Li Cong, why isn't Your Majesty here?" Jiang Bin pulled a thin man with a long face and said, this guy named Li Cong was one of his old brothers in Xuanfu at the beginning, after Jiang Bin gained power, he immediately recommended him to Zhengde, and now he is also one of Zhengde's righteous sons, and among these righteous sons, except for Jiang Bin, Li Cong's status is the highest.

"Brother Jiang, we don't know, according to His Majesty's habits, he should have come a long time ago, but now it's such a time, but I haven't seen the shadow of His Majesty, just now I have asked Gu Gonggong, but Gu Gonggong only said that His Majesty was in the martial arts hall behind, but did not say what His Majesty was doing, so we can only wait here." Li Cong replied helplessly.

The martial arts hall is a large hall built by Zhengde in the leopard room, this hall was originally the place where Zhengde practiced martial arts, but later Zhou Zhong dedicated the sand table to the imperial court, Zhengde let people make a huge sand table of the map of the whole country, spread the entire martial arts hall, when there is nothing to do, Zhengde likes to turn around in the martial arts hall. Because the sand table is a military secret of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people cannot enter the martial arts hall at all, and only Jiang Bin is qualified to enter and leave the martial arts hall if he gets the permission of Zhengde.

"Well, you guys wait here, I'll go into the temple and have a look!" Jiang Bin thought about it for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice, with his understanding of Zhengde, the other party's favorite thing is martial arts and hunting, and he shouldn't be retracted into the martial arts hall at this time?

After Jiang Bin finished speaking, he walked straight in the direction of the Martial Arts Palace, speaking of which, the Martial Arts Hall is located next to the Zhengde Palace, and there are some women living in the Zhengde Palace, although these women do not have the status of the harem, but they are extremely favored by Zhengde, so the general ministers cannot get close to the vicinity of the Martial Arts Palace.

However, Jiang Bin is an exception, he is deeply favored by Zhengde during this time, and even when he talked about military affairs before, the two of them stayed up all night, and when they rose, they would go to the martial arts hall to guide the country, so for Jiang Bin, there is nothing that cannot be entered in the entire leopard room.

After passing through several palaces, Jiang Bin soon came to the door of the Martial Arts Palace, and when he raised his feet and was about to enter the main hall, he heard a burst of laughter from Zhengde in the main hall, and at the same time there was a man's voice next to him, which made Jiang Bin also stunned at that time, and didn't understand who else could enter this martial arts hall except himself and Zhengde?

With the doubts in his heart, Jiang Bin did not rush into the palace, nor did he let the eunuchs outside go in to report, but walked to the door gently, only to hear the voice of the man inside: "Brother Huang, please see, the situation in Nanyang was like this at that time, all the big islands already had the immigration stronghold of the Governor's Palace, but the Danmu Kingdom on Java Island was strong, and the Governor's Palace could not intervene for the time being, and finally after a long period of preparation, Qu Lie was sent to lead the troops to destroy the Danmu Kingdom, and the entire Nanyang could be regarded as completely falling into the hands of my Ming Dynasty......"

Hearing the man inside call Zhengde "Brother Huang", Jiang Bin immediately understood, the entire Ming Dynasty is probably only His Royal Highness King Zhao will call His Majesty like this, and listening to the content of his speech, it should be the process of the Governor's Palace's use of troops in Nanyang, His Majesty likes military affairs the most today, and it is no wonder that he has been staying in the pleasure of martial arts, and forgot about today's martial arts competition and hunting.

Jiang Bin was an army general, and he basically didn't know anything about naval combat methods, so he stood outside the door and listened for a while, but found that the more he listened, the more confused he became. However, in contrast, Zhengde has also learned a lot about the navy in recent years because of Zhou Chong's influence, so he can understand Zhou Chong's explanation, and he also raises his own questions from time to time, which makes the discussion atmosphere very warm.

Since it was Zhou Chong inside, Jiang Bin also dispelled the idea of going in, after all, he had been avoiding meeting Zhou Chong during this time, because he felt that the new His Royal Highness King Zhao was not very friendly to him, so Jiang Bin stood outside for a while, and then turned around and left.

It's just that what Jiang Bin didn't expect was that when he came to the palace to see Zhengde again the next day, he was stopped by Gu Dayong, because the other party told him that today His Royal Highness King Zhao gave His Majesty a thing called badminton, and now the two are playing, and His Majesty has already ordered that no one will be seen, so he is also asked to come back another day.

Jiang Bin had no choice but to go back again, but on the third day of entering the palace, King Zhao actually accompanied His Majesty to play a thing called bowling, and the fourth and fifth days were ......, and it has been like this for a month, Jiang Bin has not been able to see Zhengde once, which makes him secretly scream badly, it seems that His Royal Highness King Zhao came for himself!
