In less than an hour, Zhang Shize ran back to Xiyuan out of breath.

Behind him were more than 20 people, all of whom were sons of Xungui, and many of them were known to Zhu Youzhen, such as Xu Yuanzhen, the prince of Dingguo, Liu Shaozong, the son of the Marquis of Anyuan, and Li Guojiao, the son of Xiangcheng.

Together with the time on the road, in less than an hour, Zhang Shize found so many people, which really impressed Zhu Youzhen.

"Your Majesty, time is too rushed, and the minister can only find so much." Zhang Shize is still very modest.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and nodded in appreciation.

"Meet Your Majesty!" All the nobles and sons knelt on the ground and saluted.

"It's all excused." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, "Do you know what I asked you to do?" ”

"On the way, I heard Brother Shize say that His Majesty wants to form a guard in Xiyuan." Xu Yuanzhen, the prince of Dingguo, relied on the fact that he was familiar with Zhu Youzhen before, and replied with a smile.

In Xu Yuanzhen's opinion, this is just an excuse for Zhu Youzhen to be extremely bored and unwilling to go to court, and to pull the familiar sons and daughters of Xun Gui to play. Forming a new Praetorian Guard? The seventeen-year-old emperor knows what to train the army!

However, since Zhu Youzhen was summoned, he naturally had to come over, after all, he would have to rely on the emperor for the rest of his life, and if he was happy to wait for the emperor, his family would naturally have a much better life in the future.

Looking at Xu Yuanzhen's expression, and then looking at the smiling faces of the other noble disciples, Zhu Youzhen didn't know what they were thinking. Hmph, you're all joking, aren't you? You'll be looking good later.

"That's right, I'm going to form a new Praetorian Guard." Chongzhen said, "Jiannu is rampant, my Ming border is restless, Liaodong has lost most of it, and the border army is weak and unable to recover." Therefore, I want to organize and train the new army of the Praetorian Guard, and when the new army is trained, I will personally conquer the outside of the pass and fight to the death with Jiannu!

Ladies and gentlemen, you are all noble children, in the past, your ancestors for my Ming Dynasty made great achievements, now is the time to employ people, you are willing to inherit the will of the ancestors, with me to train soldiers, continue to fight for the Ming Dynasty? ”

"The minister is willing!"

"It's time for the ministers to go to the soup and fight the fire!"

"Your Majesty, you will fight wherever you point to the minister!"

The crowd shouted, patting their chests one by one to show their loyalty.

Since the emperor wants to play the game of war, he naturally has to have a good time with the emperor!

"That's what you said, I remember!" Zhu Youzhen said solemnly, "From now on, you will be the new recruits of my Xiyuan Guard, and from now on, everything will be done according to military orders." My words are military orders, and if they are violated, they will be beheaded with a military stick or a heavy one! ”

At this moment, Cao Huachun leaned into Zhu Youzhen's ear and said softly: "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian, the factory father, is waiting outside the West Garden. ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, why did Wei Zhongxian come? Could it be that because he expelled the Hakka family, he wanted to find himself and ask for an explanation? Zhu Youzhen sneered.

"Announce him in."

Wei Zhongxian was quickly brought to Zhu Youzhen and knelt down and kowtowed: "The old slave knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhen said lightly: "Get up." ”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the noble disciples who were lining up, and asked with a smirk on his face: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to train the Praetorian Guard, can you be regarded as an old slave?" ”

"What, you want to participate too?" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

He expelled the Hakka clan in the morning, and Wei Zhongxian ran in front of him. Is it to open his eyes for his other diners? Or have you guessed the real purpose of my summoning of these noble children? No, it's impossible, don't talk about Wei Zhongxian, no one in this Manchu Dynasty has guessed my thoughts! As for the idea that he had just revealed that he wanted to train the Praetorian Guard, Wei Zhongxian knew about it, and Zhu Youzhen was not surprised.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Your Majesty wants to train new soldiers to recruit Jiannu, and the old slave is willing to lead the horse and fall into the stirrups for Your Majesty." ”

When discussing with his subordinates in the morning, Cui Chengxiu suggested that Wei Zhongxian go to the emperor's side more if he had nothing to do, so as to win the favor of the new emperor and keep his position as a eunuch.

In the eyes of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen's training was the same as Emperor Zhu Youxiao's carpentry work, it was just play.

Emperor Apocalypse doing carpenter work is a real hobby, is Emperor Chongzhen's training just a whim?

But no matter what, for Wei Zhongxian, this is a rare opportunity to curry favor with the emperor. As long as the emperor is comfortable, everything will naturally be as before.

The Hakka family has been driven out of the palace, and they can't count on it at all, so they can only rely on themselves, but when it comes to serving the emperor, who in the world can compare with the factory prince?

Zhu Youzhen suddenly understood, this Wei Zhongxian was afraid that he regarded himself as the emperor's brother Tianqi, and he regarded his summoning a group of noble sons to train as his brother doing carpenter's work, so Baba's hope was to participate in order to flatter himself in front of the new emperor.

Thinking clearly about Wei Zhongxian's purpose, Zhu Youzhen was happy in his heart, since this eunuch is so impatient, let him "enjoy" it.

Thinking about taking the opportunity to abuse Wei Zhongxian, he said in his mouth: "Forget it, military training is not a joke, after all, the factory is old, and he can't compare with them as young people, if he is tired for a while, it will be troublesome." ”

Seeing that the emperor didn't want to take him to play, Wei Zhongxian was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old slave is in good health, no worse than a good guy." ”

As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian patted his chest vigorously, and the clap made a clattering sound.

"Since you insist on participating, then count yourself as one, let's be in the ranks, it's just that the ugly words are in the head, as long as you join, you have to obey the order, and the violators will be severely punished." Chongzhen said with a smile. The eunuch thought that if he liked me, he would be the same as before, but I was not the emperor's brother!

"Old slave honorable order." Seeing that the emperor finally agreed to let him join, Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, and ran into the queue of the nobles and stood beside Zhang Shize.

Zhang Shize turned his head and glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "Factory father." ”

Wei Zhongxian just nodded slightly. If his father was here, Wei Zhongxian would still give a smile, and Zhang Shize was just a hairy child.

"Wait for it!" Zhu Youzhen shouted, "Now, you are the Praetorian Guard recruits under me, from now on, this is the battle array, and everything must be done according to military orders." ”

The sons and daughters of the nobles hurriedly closed their mouths and listened quietly to the emperor, and they were also eager to know how the emperor would "train" them.

Is it to form two teams and play a game of war with a knife and stick, or to fight each other? At that moment, you have to behave well and try to show yourself in front of the emperor.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian's face also showed a look of expectation. Although he is in his sixties, he is tall and strong, no worse than a good guy.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Zhu Youzhen sneered in his heart. A group of gentlemen, I'll let you know in a moment that I'm not joking!
