Lao Zhu was in the Steam Engine Research Institute, and followed a few craftsmen to inquire about the function of this thing, and then asked about the difficulty and cost of the production process of this thing.

When he heard that such an iron lump was smashed into 300,000 taels of silver, Lao Zhu's eyes turned red when he looked at everyone.

There was only one thought in his mind, did these craftsmen see that his eldest grandson was young and thought that his eldest grandson was easy to deceive?

300,000 taels of silver, not to mention creating an iron lump, it is more than enough to make a silver lump!

"Is there an account for the expenses that should be paid?"

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor asking, Ma Bo hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"Back to Your Majesty, the R&D expenses invested are all accounted for, and the manufacturing of various parts and components is huge."

"But this is the research stage, and everything is starting from scratch, so it's normal to spend a lot more. When this product becomes popular and mass-produced in the future, its cost will naturally be reduced."

"Oooh......"

Lao Zhu was skeptical when he heard this, but when he thought that it was the eldest grandson's subordinate, he was not good at overstepping, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart.

If it was an official under him, he would have ordered Jinyi Wei to search their house to see if there was any corruption or other behavior.

Lao Zhu grabbed Ma Bo and asked for a while, and saw that Erhu had already arrested the "Reverse Sun", so he threw down the steam engine and escorted the Reverse Sun back to the palace.

When the Emperor's dragon drove past an intersection, two people stood in a guest room on the second floor.

One of them had a sallow face, gray hair, and was dressed like an old woman. However, his voice is crisp and pleasant, and it does not match his age.

The other person was wearing a shirt, a square scarf, a sword hanging from his waist, and a folding fan, dressed like a scholar.

This person is none other than the most wanted criminal in the Ming Dynasty, Han Qing, the king of Xiaoming.

"Uncle, it's not that my niece doesn't do her best, it's really that every time the Third Emperor Sun and Zhu Butcher go out, they bring a large number of guards to defend the two of them tightly, and they don't have a chance to do it at all!"

Han Qing also had a headache when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's guards, there were pioneers in front, guards on the left and right, and a large number of knights behind him.

In such cases, even if the assassination is successful, the assassin will not escape the fate of being hunted down.

"Uncle blames you!"

"By the way, how are you communicating with Zhu Yunwen?"

"Back to my uncle, my niece has gained Zhu Yunwen's trust, but Zhu Yunwen can't do anything big, it's just a concubine who died, so she fell ill sadly......

Han Qing smiled slightly when he heard this.

"It's hard to make a big deal!"

"If he really has such a wise and powerful martial artist as the Three Emperors, I wouldn't dare to cooperate with him."

"Continue to contact Zhu Yunwen and make him available to me as soon as possible!"

"Even if you can't assassinate Zhu Tuhu, you can learn about the movements of the Ming court through Zhu Yunwen and deal with the encirclement and suppression of the court in advance!"

"Yes!"

After Han Qing saw that the emperor's car was driving away, he separated from Han Yushang and went straight to report to Guozijian.

Although he secretly did anti-Ming deeds, on the surface, he was a talented man of the Ming Dynasty, and because of his excellent grades, he was promoted to the Guozijian by the local officials.

Of course, money is indispensable here.

After Han Yushang separated from Han Qing, he also returned to his secret stronghold in the capital, an inconspicuous tea stall, not far from the bookstore.

The reason why she is so careful is only because she is not worried about Zhu Yunwen, and she is afraid that Zhu Yunwen will implicate her with a tail behind her.

As soon as Han Yushang returned to the tea stall, he saw a carriage passing in front of his stall.

When Han Yushang saw the ornamentation of this carriage, she was overjoyed.

Because this is the carriage of the Prince's Mansion.

The three emperors and grandsons never take the carriage of the prince's mansion when they go out, only Zhu Yunwen will take it!

Han Yushang observed the back of the carriage as usual, and saw that no one was following, so she changed her body

Net clothes went to the bookstore of the joint.

When Zhu Yunwen saw Han Yushang appear, he roared in a low voice.

"Why!"

"On the way back, you have a chance, why let him come back safely!"

Han Yushang saw that Zhu Yunwen still had the face to accuse herself, and she suddenly felt a little angry in her heart.

This person is too uncountable in his heart, if he really has a chance, can he let it go?

"Second Emperor Sun is angry, it's not that my cousin doesn't want to kill him, it's just that he has too many guards around him, and he doesn't have a chance to do it at all!"

Zhu Yunwen also knew that his accusation was unreasonable, but now that he was holding back the fire in his belly, if he didn't anger others, he would be suffocated himself.

"What's next for Lone?"

Han Yushang said without thinking about it.

"Stay in the capital and listen to the movements of the imperial court!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled helplessly when he heard this.

"Do you think you don't want to be alone?"

"However, now that Zhu Yunxi has been named the emperor's grandson, it won't be long before he becomes a vassal, and he may not have the opportunity to return to Beijing in his life......

When Han Yushang heard Zhu Yunwen say this, her face also showed a tangled look.

If it was to assassinate someone, she still had a way.

But when it comes to the way of scheming, it's not what she's good at.

"Third Emperor Sun, your mother and concubine trusted someone very much during her lifetime, if you really don't know how to stay in the capital, you might as well ask him."

"Who?"

"Wenhua Palace's attendant Zhang Zongjun!"

"Whenever the crown princess encountered major events during her lifetime, she discussed with this person in many matters."

"Lone remembered!"

Zhu Yunwen put down these words, took out a few books from the bookshelf at random, and went to the counter downstairs to settle the bill and leave.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Yunwen absentmindedly flipped through the books he bought from the bookstore, thinking about what Han Yushang said, and fell into a hesitation again.

He didn't have the slightest impression of Zhang Zongjun, and he had never heard his mother mention it before, and now he was rashly asked to find someone to ask for advice, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

However, Zhu Yunwen struggled again and again, and finally put down his books, dressed up and went to Wenhua Palace.

After the Wenhua Hall was rewarded to Zhu Yunxi by Lao Zhu, the personnel inside almost did not change, and they generally maintained the same positions as during the Zhu Biao period.

There is only one exception, and that is Zhang Zongjun.

He inexplicably lost his identity as a squire, and only had the orthography of the Department of Economic Affairs from Jiupin to the official position.

Although the official position of the attendant is not high, and it is not even a serious official position, it is just a saying.

But the reputation is good, and there is a face when you say it.

It's as heavy as the Bureau of Economic Affairs, and every day I either correct the manuscript or do some framing work.

When Zhu Yunwen came to look for Zhang Zongjun, Zhang Zongjun was framing the pages of the classics with his hands full of paste, not only did he not have the demeanor of a celebrity, but he looked like a craftsman from a distance.

Zhu Yunwen has been standing behind Zhang Zongjun for a long time, watching him concentrate on framing, and he can't help but wonder in his heart, this person can really give himself ideas?

Zhu Yunwen was entangled for a while again, until Zhang Zongjun noticed that there was someone behind him and deliberately glanced back, and Zhu Yunwen bowed to Zhang Zongjun.

"Please teach me Mr. Zhang!"

When Zhang Zongjun heard this, he only felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning.

When he helped the crown princess before, although the crown princess refused to give up power, she at least took care of herself, how could she come to find herself so recklessly?

This Zhu Yunwen is so ignorant, he came over so urgently, did he think he would live a long life?

When Zhang Zongjun thought of this, he inevitably felt a little resentful in his heart, and immediately pretended to be stupid.

"The Second Emperor Sun is serious, Weichen is just a small official of the Economic Bureau, how can he teach you?"

"If you really have any doubts about learning, you can ask Fang Xiaoru, this person is a recognized talent in the Wenhua Palace, and his knowledge is not under Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and even surpasses it."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face showed disappointment, and he turned around and left.

Zhang Zongjun saw that Zhu Yunwen had no city government like this, and couldn't help sneering at his back.

At that time, he was also crazy, and he thought that this son was expected to inherit the unification, which was really blind!

After Zhang Zongjun sent Zhu Yunwen away, he hummed a little song and had a lot of fun in front of the pastemaker.

Although he didn't have a chance to follow the dragon, he still saved his life, which can be regarded as a fluke!

Soon after Zhu Yunwen left, Erhu received a secret performance from Jinyiwei.

"Master Hu, the brothers have been secretly watching it according to your instructions, and now they have found some problems."

"The second emperor grandson went to a bookstore just after he was in good health, and he had been to this bookstore before, so he seemed to have met someone inside."

"Do you want to take your subordinates to serve this shop?"

After the second tiger dealt with the Lu family, he had been tracking down the White Lotus Sect through the line of the Lu family, and he had not taken care of Zhu Yunwen.

On the one hand, it was his negligence, and on the other hand, Zhu Yunwen's special identity was also a special one, and without the emperor's order, Jinyiwei could not rashly investigate.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunwen suddenly jumped out and said that he would lead troops to support Datong and help Datong Mansion eliminate the wind and cold epidemic, that Erhu realized that something was wrong.

In terms of Zhu Yunwen's ability, he shouldn't have the courage, let alone the ability.

He suddenly jumped out, and he must have been instructed or instigated by others.

Based on this, Erhu took the risk of being punished by the emperor and secretly arranged a group of people to spy on Zhu Yunwen.

However, he has always been very careful, for fear of being noticed. It belongs to the kind of surveillance that would rather be lost than startled.

Because secretly investigating the emperor and grandson is a serious crime, if one of them is not done well, his tiger head can be cut off by Lao Zhu.

Once the emperor feels that he has ulterior motives, it is merciful not to separate the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, and not to behead him all over the house.

"Don't act rashly just yet, just keep watching."

"If some people can't be crucified at once, we will have to suffer a backlash!"

"No!"

Erhu sent away the spies of Jinyiwei, took out two balls of cotton from his sleeves, plugged his ears, and then stood at the gate of the Qianqing Palace again.

In the Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu is teaching the imperial grandson a lesson, according to the imperial grandson's mistake this time, it is estimated that he will not be beaten lightly, so it is better to prevent it in advance.

"Rebel grandson, give us an explanation, why did you let that woman go?"

"Grandpa Huang, this is what her grandson promised her before. She told me the truth, and I let her leave the meditation hermitage!"

When Lao Zhu heard the words of the eldest grandson, he looked at the eldest grandson suspiciously.

"It's as simple as that?"

Zhu Yunxi said with a puzzled face.

"Or else?"

"Do you think that the eldest grandson has a crush on Concubine Li and wants to elope with Concubine Li?"

Lao Zhu glared at the eldest grandson unhappily when he heard this.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"We're just afraid that you're young and being used by people with bad intentions."

"Where did Concubine Li's cheap hooves go now?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said.

"I don't know!"

"The grandson gave her a blank guide, plus a hundred taels of gold and a hundred taels of silver, and threw her to the junction, and told her to hire a carriage to leave......

Zhu Yunxi deliberately kept an eye on it, and did not mention the matter of the dock, for fear that Lao Zhu would secretly send someone to chase after him and kill him.

Lao Zhu really thought so, thinking of sending someone to secretly dispose of Concubine Li.

Concubine Li has been in the palace for too long, and she knows a lot of secrets in the palace, if she is allowed to go out and talk nonsense, will the face of the Ming royal family be gone?

However, no matter how big Concubine Li's matter is, it is a trivial matter, and Lao Zhu is more concerned about the eldest grandson's recent slack off and wants to wind him up.

"Concubine Li's aside, you tell us about it, why just canonized you as the emperor's grandson, you can't go to the court to listen to the government?"

Zhu Yunxi muttered when he heard this.

"It's boring......

"It's too boring, it's too boring, it's too ...... space."

"Is this still empty?"

Lao Zhu felt full of grievances when he thought that he was dealing with hundreds of things every day, and he had to be said by his grandson.

"You're the emperor's grandson now, so we can't always beat you. We'll punish you for reading the recitals, and read all the cantos we've reviewed these days!"

Lao Zhu said as he pointed to Zhu Yunxi's small table and scolded.

"Get out of here and kneel and see!"

"Oooh......"

Zhu Yunxi climbed to the edge of his small table, and saw that a thick stack of folds had been piled up, and they were all copied versions, so he knew that the old man had already premeditated.

However, he did find it quite boring, and he didn't have the slightest desire to see it.

Zhu Yunxi looked at it for a while, and then felt that his eyelids were fighting, and he wanted to lie on the table and sleep.

However, just when Zhu Yunxi was in a daze, he suddenly heard the voice of Lao Zhu behind him, which scared him to wake up instantly.

"Get on your knees!"

"Let's spot check at night, if you can't answer, let's see how we fix you!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he could only cheer up and watch the lengthy twists and turns word by word.

Although he used to watch it often, it was all carefully selected by Lao Zhu, and he felt that it was valuable for him to watch and learn.

Now he looked at everything in detail, and the thick stack of folds was full of all kinds of trivial things.

"Shao Yongshan, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers, started playing, there are two round nails missing on the Zhengyang Gate, and the ministers are afraid that they will insult the national body and want to repair it......

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhiqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, next year is the year of the big competition, and the paper for transcribing the examination papers should be purchased in advance......

"The Imperial Court supervised Zhang Heng, the imperial historian, and impeached Qi Tai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, for not doing his job properly, and privately publishing and printing the current literature for sale, which insulted the dignity ......of the imperial court."

Zhu Yunxi looked at these bullshit and trivial things, and felt that his brain was going to explode.

This is the daily life of the emperor?

The emperor cares about these trivial things every day?

Why did Daming raise so many officials?

Lao Zhu saw that the eldest grandson began to watch the music seriously, yawned secretly, and then tiptoed back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

To tell the truth, he gets up early every day......

Zhu Yunxi saw that there was no movement behind him, not even the movement of turning the book, so he immediately deliberately touched a book, and then secretly glanced at the dragon chair of the emperor's grandfather by picking up the book.

Zhu Yunxi saw that the dragon chair was empty, so he immediately stretched comfortably, then folded a stack of music on the ground, and fell asleep while lying on the "Jiangshan Sheji" in Daming.

Qin Deshun saw that the imperial grandson was working so hard, and covered him with a blanket very considerately.

Zhu Yunxi thanked him and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he saw a man standing in front of him, a man with a braid in his hand.

Lao Zhu saw that the eldest grandson had finally woken up, and immediately shook the whip viciously.

"Have you slept enough?"

"If you haven't slept enough, you'll sleep again?"

Zhu Yunxi heard the crisp whip sound, and his body subconsciously snorted, and then he used a carp to stand up.

After Zhu Yunxi stood up, his whole body was blindfolded, and his mind was full of the action of the carp just now.

Chang Sheng taught him this action for several days before, but he didn't understand it, but he didn't admit that he had just been whipped, so he subconsciously used it.

Lao Zhu saw that his eldest grandson was so flexible, and he was also proud in his heart.

At least at his age like Zhu Yunxi, he doesn't have such flexible skills.

But satisfaction is satisfaction, and it should be scared or scareless.

"Let's see that you slept so peacefully, you must have memorized all the twists and turns?"

"Come, let's test your ......."

"Head of the Criminal Department

What did Guo Yanli say in the book?"

Zhu Yunxi fell asleep after only reading a few pages, how do you know what the head of the Criminal Department said?

But he didn't dare to say that he hadn't seen it, so he could only make it up.

"The head of the criminal department said...... said that the prison of the Criminal Department was in disrepair, and asked the court to allocate money to repair it......

Lao Zhu was noncommittal after hearing this, and picked up a copy of the recital again and asked.

"What did the Fujian envoy say?"

Zhu Yunxi was about to collapse when he heard this question, he really didn't know!

"Say...... Said you want to pay tribute to the emperor?"

Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson who was full of nonsense, and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and pointed to the stool next to him angrily.

"Get on your stomach!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he only felt a tingling on his scalp.

"Grandpa Huang, didn't we say okay, I'm the emperor's grandson, so you won't beat me......

Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this.

"Even if you become the emperor, we are also your grandfather!"

"Hurry up and lie down for us, don't let us say it a second time!"

Zhu Yunxi saw that he couldn't hide, so he could only move over hard, and then lie on the stool like resignation.

Lao Zhu saw that the rebel grandson was lying down, and without saying a word, he picked up the whip and beat it, and beat the rebel grandson dozens of whips one after another, beating the rebel grandson to cry, so he took the time to catch a few breaths and came to an intermission.

"Do you know why we hit you?"

"Yes!"

"Because I didn't take the music seriously, woo woo woo ...... "

"your grandma's fart!"

"It's because you didn't see it, and you still fooled us!"

"If you tell us directly, you won't see it at all, and we won't be so angry!"

Zhu Yunxi also felt aggrieved when he heard this, that shitty thing is all bullshit, and there is no value to see at all!

"My grandson is not convinced!"

Lao Zhu saw that his rebel grandson had been beaten like this, and he even dared to talk back to himself, and he was angry.

However, when he thought that he had just beaten this grandson, and now his shoulders were tired, he was given a chance to speak.

"Do you dare to disagree?"

"Let's talk about it, if you don't pay attention to it, you're an iron ass, and we'll beat you up today!"

Zhu Yunxi turned around and looked at Lao Zhu with a sad and angry face.

"Grandpa Huang, you won't be an emperor at all!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his brows furrowed subconsciously, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi with an unkind face.

"Zhu Yunxi!"

"Today, you have to make it clear to us, why won't we be emperors!"
