Hua Houwei bowed his head and was silent, he knew that the change in Empress Dowager Zhou's attitude stemmed from the success of a series of means after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, and all the rights that the royal family had been seized by civil officials over the years were recovered. But is that really the case? Has the basis of Ming's rights changed? No! The ruling base of the Ming Dynasty is still officials, still those farming families, the exploitation of the entire empire is still the peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and the entire economy is still a small peasant economy, all of which have not changed.

Did Zhu Houzhao succeed? From a royal point of view, it was a success. But in Hua Houwei's view, this is just a hundred years of life for the Zhu family. A hundred years later, everything is still the same, it is still Wen Tian and Wu Xi, and it is still rotten into a mess from top to bottom. Without King Li Chuang, there will also be King Zhang Chuang, who will push down the rotten Ming to the roots.

Hua Houwei knew that the convenience of being supported by the royal family as a royal bloodline had disappeared from this moment. I am really isolated and helpless in this world, and the only thing I can rely on is my own strength. Merchants cannot be relied on, they are mothers if they have milk, and they will not have a firm position, as it has been said in textbooks before, the bourgeoisie is inherently weak.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Hua Houwei's eyes, and that touch of warmth gradually disappeared in Hua Houwei's silence. She sighed: "Wei'er, do you have to make trouble until the world is bloody and bloody?" ”

Install the latest version. 】

Hua Houwei finally raised his head: "Ancestor, it's not that I have to do something. Ancestor, I want to ask you, what do you think of industry? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned for a moment, not understanding what relationship there was between industry and the throne. But he still patiently replied: "The icing on the cake, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, Wei'er, is this important?" ”

Hua Houwei shook his head: "It's more important than that chair!" Ancestors, this is no longer the icing on the cake, and the development of industry is urgent. Europa has begun to plunder the world, relying on the power of industry. If Daming can't take the lead, surrounded by wolves, Daming is in danger! ”

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled dumbly: "Wei'er, this is your excuse?" Do you know that thick photos are not good for industry? Doesn't there also a machinery manufacturing bureau in Beijing? ”

Hua Houwei understood that what he said and did was wrong in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and it was all an excuse to fight for the throne. He sighed and made a final effort: "Ancestor, it is useless to have just a few machinery manufacturing bureaus, if you don't liberate the people from the fields and establish a complete industrial system, how can you make Daming stand out from the crowd?" But who understands this? My brother? ”

"Then you can't help him?"

"Hehe, will the master of the house care about what he doesn't value?"

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, you have to make your own decisions?" ”

Hua Houwei nodded calmly: "That's right!" Even if it is not good, I have to be in charge of Jiangnan, so that I can leave a chance for Daming to reach the top! ”

The last glimmer of hope in Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes was shattered, and she sighed lightly: "The mourning family is lacking, if King Wu changes his mind, he can still come and take a look." ”

Hua Houwei understood what Empress Dowager Zhou meant, and if she didn't change her mind, she wouldn't come here, and she wouldn't give him any more help here. Hua Houwei politely stood up and said goodbye, turned around and walked outside the hall.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Hua Houwei's emaciated back, and suddenly shouted: "Wei'er! Hua Houwei turned around, showed a smile to the Empress Dowager Zhou, waved his hand, and slowly walked towards the boundless space outside.

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes finally shed crystal tears, muttering the Buddha's name, and the Buddha beads in her hand kept turning. When Hua Houwei's figure disappeared into Cining Palace, the thread of the Buddha beads suddenly broke, and those Venus Rosewood Buddha beads were scattered all over the place.

Hua Houwei walked out of Cining Palace and laughed as he walked. Or is he naïve, or his cheap dad is right, only by grasping power in his hands can he do what he wants to do, relying on others, it will not work after all.

Hua Houwei walked towards Shou'an Palace, followed by two little eunuchs. Hua Houwei frowned, knocked one out directly with a hand knife, and put one arm around the other's neck and strangled him fiercely. dragged the two eunuchs directly to the secluded place of Cining Palace, threw off their coats, ran two steps, and turned over the wall.

If you don't run, you can't run, the negotiations break down, and the next thing is house arrest. Although Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to kill himself, he still had the courage to be placed under house arrest. If he is under house arrest, Wang Yangming throws himself into a mouse trap, and the things he has accumulated over the years may be destroyed.

Climbing out of the high palace wall, Hua Houwei did not hesitate, and ran towards Xihua Gate with his legs. It would take Zhu Houzhao a quarter of an hour to get the news, and he still had time. After many years of martial arts, Hua Houwei has already practiced to the peak of Ming Jin, his body is as light as a swallow, and his feet are windy. It's noon, and the streets are full of pedestrians. Hua Hou Wei hesitated slightly, turned around and entered an alley, knocked down a convenient pedestrian, and took off his shirt to cover himself.

The acting skills that he had practiced hard many years ago finally came in handy, Hua Houwei's shoulders collapsed, and his body swayed from side to side, so he was a quiet street tiger.

The palace has been messed up, and the two little eunuchs have been found, but Hua Houwei is nowhere to be seen. When the news reached Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao's face turned pale, and he stared at Qian Ning: "The palace guards are all from Jinyi Guard, how do you manage it?" How slack is it to the point? ”

Qian Ning secretly complained in his heart, who would dare to make a mistake near Cining Palace? Who knew that King Wu was so decisive that he actually knocked down the eunuch and climbed over the wall to leave the palace?

Zhu Houzhao was anxious in his heart, the dialogue between the Empress Dowager Zhou and Hua Houwei was his instruction, and this was also the last time he tested Hua Houwei, if he failed, Hua Houwei could only spend the rest of his life in the newly built Wu Wangfu. Zhu Houzhao was very jealous of Hua Houwei, he knew that Hua Houwei's lethality was too great, when he was an assistant, he was first-class sharp, and as an opponent, it was a chilling existence, and it was impossible to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

You can't kill it, not only brotherhood, but also Empress Dowager Zhang, you can't get by. Zhu Houzhao only hesitated for a while, and then directly ordered: "Qian Ning, Ma Yongcheng, and Gu Dayong immediately and secretly hunt down King Wu!" ”

Qian Ning hesitated for a long time and asked: "Long live, King Wu has Wang Zhi and other henchmen, can he use the soul chasing gun?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed, and the huge pressure made Qian Ning unable to stand up. After a while, Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "Try to ensure the safety of King Wu, go!" ”

Not long after the three of them left, Zhu Houzhao fidgeted and suddenly spoke: "Liu Banban, which direction do you say Brother Wei will go?" ”

Liu Jin replied uneasily: "Long live Lord, according to the slave maid, His Highness will go to Tongzhou!" ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Waterways! Only the waterway is faster, the waterway inventory is not easy, and the canal is full of smuggled duty-free goods, so..."

"Hehe, even if you think so, that Brother Wei will never go to Tongzhou. But that's for later, and the search in the capital is the top priority for now. Hum! The traitor Wang Zhi will definitely join Brother Wei, you go and stare at Wang Zhi in person! Those three fools don't worry! ”

Hua Houwei did not meet Wang Zhi at the first time, he had a plan before entering Beijing, once he got out of the palace, he went straight to the Huanyi Bureau as soon as possible, where there was a hidden pile of the Inspection Department. Hua Houwei entered a small courtyard outside the Huanyi Bureau and jumped into the well in the courtyard. There is a secret door in the wall of the well, and after Hua Houwei enters, he walks forward along the tunnel. The exit is a famous green building in Beijing, after Hua Hou Wei came out, someone immediately greeted him, and after taking Hua Hou Wei to change his clothes, he walked out of the secret room.

"Lord Wang!" Chang Yulu knelt on one knee and looked excited.

Hua Houwei glanced at him lightly: "Get up and tell me what the situation is in Beijing now." ”

"Yes! Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory are fully dispatched, and it is estimated that the city will be closed soon! ”

Hua Houwei shook his head: "You don't know my brother, you won't lock down the city!" Inform Wang Zhi immediately, let's go to Xuanfu! ”

Jinyiwei's movements were very fast, and as soon as Hua Houwei met Chang Yulu, they had already found the small courtyard outside the Huanyi Bureau.

"My lord, that person just entered this small courtyard and never went out again!"

Qian Ning frowned, and just wanted to speak, Ma Yongcheng came in in a hurry. "Where?"

Qian Ning simply took a step back and arched his hand towards Ma Yongcheng: "Father-in-law Ma, that person didn't go out in the small courtyard, according to the lower officials, there are tunnels here!" ”

Ma Yongcheng nodded unyieldingly: "Thank you, Lord Qian, come, you check carefully." ”

Qian Ning sneered in his heart, who is King Wu? Not to mention that he himself is incomparably wise, just because he is His Majesty's brother-in-law, he can't be serious. In case His Majesty regrets it in the future, who will not catch it as a scapegoat? Even if Your Majesty doesn't blame, the Queen Mother can't kill you with a single look? Stupid or not?

Ma Yong's efforts to establish himself could not have imagined so much, he just urged his subordinates to carefully search the courtyard. In a short time, the mystery of the well was discovered.

"Factory father! There's a secret passage down the well! ”

Ma Yongcheng was overjoyed and turned his head to look at Qian Ning. Qian Ning grinned and arched his hand, and then slowly retreated with the people of the Jinyi Guard. Ma Yongcheng was satisfied, and ordered loudly: "Enter the secret passage!" ”

Qian Ning withdrew from the small courtyard, and the people around him were not angry, and asked softly, "My lord, just let it out?" ”

Qian Ning sneered: "Do you really think it's a good errand?" Think about it, that's King Wu, who made out the lord of a country and the world when he was one year old, can he be a good match? Wait, when Arima Yongcheng cries! ”

The voice has not fallen, boom! There was a muffled sound, and a cloud of smoke erupted from the small courtyard. Channing was unsteady on his feet, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency!"

"Lao Tzu is fine, look at Ma Yongcheng!" Of course, Qian Ning doesn't care about Ma Yongcheng's life or death, but if he doesn't hide it at all, it's not easy for Zhu Houzhao to explain in front of him, right?

Ma Yongcheng was howling like a pig, but he didn't sink into the ground, but the collapsed brick wall crushed his left leg, and he couldn't pull it out in a hurry.

A group of brocade guards and the surviving Dongchang fanzi moved away the ruins and rescued the native Ma Yongcheng. Qian Ning didn't track down Hua Houwei's whereabouts, and took someone to send Ma Yongcheng to Tai Hospital first.
