Chapter 621: Leopard Room Dialogue
Jiang Bin quickly got into a carriage and headed in the direction of the leopard house. Today's Son of Heaven doesn't like the Forbidden City, so when he was three years old in Zhengde, he lived in the leopard room.
Located in the northwest of the Imperial City, Leopard House was the political and military center of the Ming Dynasty today. Of course, this leopard house is not just a house, but a large continuous complex of buildings. There is a Buddhist temple and a school field, which is regarded as a palace of the emperor.
Jiang Bin quickly entered the leopard room, and before entering, several eunuchs confirmed that he did not carry any weapons before letting him go. Although he had to go through this step every time he came here before, when he was searched today, Jiang Bin's heart was always a little uneasy, as if he had done something bad and had been caught.
"Jiang Bin, look at my armor. As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhu Houzhao was wearing a black armor, which was made of cowhide nitrate, and in the key place, there were also some metal pieces inlaid with it, which looked very sophisticated.
The armor he had ordered to be made was all metal, and it was painted with a layer of gold and silver paint, which looked like it was almost blinding the enemy's eyes. Because after being ridiculed by Fang Hong last time, he immediately changed his armor to black.
"The emperor wears this armor, he is really heroic, and he is magnificent. Jiang Bin stepped forward and saluted Zhu Houzhao, and skillfully patted the horse's ass.
"Don't talk about these useless things, quick, take a knife and cut me down. Zhu Houzhao waved his hand casually, raised his head and threw a knife from the table on the side, and with a "bang", the knife fell to Jiang Bin's side.
The cold sweat on Jiang Bin's forehead came down all of a sudden, and he knelt on the ground, the knife was in front of him. As soon as you stretch out your hand, you can hold the knife in your hand.
But he wasn't sure if the emperor had discovered something, and whether this was a test for him.
"Hurry, hurry, I want to test the sturdiness of this armor, don't worry. Zhu Houzhao tightened his belt, as if he wanted to make himself more comfortable, but he didn't notice Jiang Bin's strangeness.
Jiang Bin was even more frightened, and he couldn't stop kowtowing on his knees. Perhaps because of his weak heart, he was so afraid that he refused to pick up the knife alive or dead.
"I forgive you for your innocence, hurry up and do it, if you refuse to cut me off, I will take your head." Seeing Jiang Bin cowering, Zhu Houzhao went up and kicked him, and said a little angrily.
"Ahh Jiang Bin was kicked to the ground, and he couldn't help but exclaim in pain, this is asking for his own life. Let him go up and cut the emperor, even if he is given a few more dares, he will not dare.
Just as he was about to continue kowtowing and begging for mercy, all of a sudden, his head was confused, and a trace of chaos appeared in his eyes. His body suddenly couldn't help himself, and he suddenly lunged forward.
He held the long knife in his hand, "No, I can't do it!" Jiang Bin's consciousness roared wildly, but at this moment, his body didn't obey the call at all, and still held the long knife tightly, and the blade was aimed at Zhu Houzhao's neck.
He dared to guarantee that as long as he stabbed down, the emperor's life would have to be explained here.
"Whoosh. He swung his knife suddenly, and it was fast and accurate, and he had never used it so sharply in his life. However, Jiang Bin would rather never make this knife in his life.
"Ah......" He swung the knife halfway, and suddenly, his head shook, as if he had been hit by a giant hammer, and in the next moment, the whole person fell to the ground limply, and could no longer lift the slightest strength.
And King Xing, who was far away in the corner of the capital, suddenly opened his mouth and spit out, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. "Damn, this capital is a place where the fortune of the Great Ming gathers, and the forbidden soul technique has been suppressed. ”
"Lord Wang, are you okay. The sad-faced man next to him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, with some worry on his face.
"It's just a little trouble, but I'm too anxious to solve Zhu Houzhao here. King Xing waved his hand and didn't take the matter to heart. The luck backlash only hurt him a little, and he went back to recuperate for a few days to get better.
"What a piece of shit, I can't even lift a knife. Zhu Houzhao in the leopard room couldn't help but scold again when he saw Jiang Bin lying on the ground with a languid face.
However, he also knew that his order was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man, so he didn't dare to give them a few more daring to give them a few more dares, which made him a little interested.
"Okay, in a few days, I am going to go to Jiangxi to capture King Ning, what do you think we have to prepare?" Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and took off the armor on his body, threw it aside, and then stood in front of a table.
On this table, a detailed map of Jiangxi was drawn, which not only included the locations of Jiangxi's various prefectures, counties and rivers, but also some geographical conditions of Jiangxi's nearby provinces. In some places where it is easy to garrison troops, they are also circled with red pens.
This map was surveyed and mapped by the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and if it is lost, I don't know how many careerists will break their heads for it. You must know that such a picture is too important for marching and fighting.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers under King Ning were all incorporated later, and the degree of loyalty is very low. It's not difficult to deal with King Ning, the only thing to worry about is the ministers of the court, if they can't convince them, then everything will be stopped. Jiang Bin knelt on the ground, cleared his throat, and said reluctantly.
Regarding the rebellion of King Ning, the entire court actually did not take it too seriously. Because King Ning's limitations are too great, and the elites of the Ming Dynasty are all in the north, it is very easy to quell the rebellion.
Jiang Bin mentioned this, and Zhu Houzhao fell silent for a moment. He, the emperor, has been tied up since he came to the throne. Especially that Yang Tinghe, relying on his status is high enough and his qualifications are old enough, he comes to admonish him if he has nothing to do, which is really annoying. If you tell the story of the royal conquest, you will definitely be obstructed by others.
"This personal expedition, I am definitely going to go, no one can stop me, Jiang Bin, do you have any good way to shut them up?" Zhu Houzhao was really annoyed by those ministers, so he ordered Jiang Bin to come up with a good idea.
"This ...... There are two ways to do this. The first one, you can directly issue an edict, and if anyone opposes your personal conquest, they will be killed directly. To deal with these literati, we have to come up with some tough measures. However, although this method is simple, it is easy to gain notoriety. As for the second one, you can order Zhu Shou, the mighty general of the governor's military affairs, to go on the expedition, first hide it from the ministers and let them not understand the situation, and then you can announce that you are Zhu Shou. In this way, there is no joke in you, and even if they oppose it, there is no reason. "Jiang Bin's first idea was purely forced, and he was exchanging fame for power. As for the second one, it is even more absurd, isn't this just a trick with the ministers of the imperial court.
But after Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately smiled.
