For a moment, a loud voice echoed in the palace.

Zhu Houzhao's attention was immediately attracted and he rolled over from Liu Jin's back.

He was displeased: "Who dares to disturb my interest?" ”

"Your Highness, where are you!"

Liu Jin got up from the ground and immediately pointed to Jiang Ningdao under the steps.

Zhu Houzhao looked fixedly, raised his feet and walked towards him, and turned around Jiang Ning a few times.

Suddenly, he said "Huh": "You raise your head." ”

Jiang Ning raised his head and said, "Your Highness, the minister is the attendant of Your Majesty's new point." ”

"It's you!"

Zhu Houzhao saw his face clearly, clapped his hands and said:

"I remember you, what you said that day was funny."

Jiang Ning squeezed out a smile and bowed down again and said, "Minister's honor." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be so polite, it's not interesting at all."

Zhu Houzhao casually pointed to a seat:

"You sit there, Taifu's lecture hasn't started yet, I'll play for a while."

Gu Dayong and Liu Jin on the side, seeing that his attitude towards Jiang Ning was not quite the same as that of other East Palace officials, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

Liu Jin made a look, Gu Dayong nodded, took the initiative to walk over, and poured tea for Jiang Ning.

"Our family Gu is very useful, and I have seen Jiang Shi read. Jiang Shishu, please take a break and drink a cup of tea first. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Jiang Ning stood up, took the teacup with both hands, and looked at Gu Dayong in front of him.

The Eight Tigers of the future will have a pivotal position in the court in the future.

If he had a good relationship now, he could not use their strength to develop himself against the growing civilian-bureaucratic clique.

Regardless of what, at least you must have the means to protect yourself.

"Jiang Shishu is polite."

Gu Dayong smiled with a smile on his face, and continued: "In the future, if Jiang Shishu has any needs in the East Palace, just tell our family." ”

"Thank you so much, father-in-law. Thanks to Your Majesty's appreciation, now that we are colleagues with each other, Jiang Ning must have many places to disturb my father-in-law. ”

Jiang Ning bowed his hand politely.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Seeing him behave like this, Gu Dayong smiled with two more sincerity on his face.

Not mentioning the meaning of Jiang Ning's words, just the title made him extremely useful.

You must know that these civil officials who dropped their book bags were sometimes called colleagues with eunuchs.

"It's useful, let's think of a way to play again, it's boring!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted while looking at Gu Dayong.

When he saw him talking to Jiang Ning, he ran over in three or two steps and said to Jiang Ning:

"You don't have to stick here anymore, come with me and have fun."

Jiang Ning looked at the young man in front of him, who was still immature, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was just a playful child, and his heart was still like a blank piece of paper.

In the future, Zhengde is a strange genius who has done a lot of ridiculous things.

The reason for this is probably due to the premature death of Hongji, and he succeeded to the throne as a young man, which was the time of rebellion.

There are many upright and stubborn bosses in the court, and he is annoyed by himself, and he relies more on the Eight Tigers who play with him all day long.

A combination of factors has made it look like that.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning began to have an idea.

If he accompanies Zhu Houzhao by his side, through the way of deepening his feelings, he can transmit some thoughts to him to slowly change him.

When that time comes, will a different tomorrow be born?

This affected the course of history and made the Ming Dynasty reach an unprecedented peak.

With a plan in his heart, Jiang Ning saluted and said:

"Your Highness, after playing for so long, I think I'm a little tired.

Why don't you tell His Highness some stories and listen to them, and relieve them for the time being? ”

"Story?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "Do you have a fun and novel story?" Tell me about it. I like to listen to stories the most, and if you tell them well, you won't be able to do it for you. ”

"Your Highness's words are serious, if you can make Your Highness show a happy color, the minister's heart will be very happy. This is the benefit that the minister wants. ”

Gu Dayong, Liu Jin and the other eight tigers looked at each other, and they all smelled a hint of the same smell.

It was the first time they had found such a wonderful person among civil officials, and their eyes were even kinder when they looked at Jiang Ning at the moment.

Jiang Ning saw the change in the expressions of several people, and smiled slightly in his heart.

He wanted to use the Eight Tigers by first mingling with them and becoming the same kind of people.

Only in this way can you get the desired effect.

Of course, he is by no means a real raccoon dog, but just a false means.

And at the same time, it can also add points in Zhu Houzhao's heart, killing two birds with one stone.

Putting aside his thoughts for the time being, Jiang Ning cleared his throat and began to speak.

He told a series of deeds in the form of stories, from the opening of new shipping routes to the struggle for maritime supremacy among Western countries.

Not only that, but there are also novelty anecdotes from various continents, in short, what the Ming Dynasty does not have, and all of them are added.

And with his narration, Zhu Houzhao and the Eight Tigers changed from a little curiosity at the beginning to a later fascination.

Everyone listened with relish and was amazed.

One or two pricked up their ears, for fear of missing something exciting.

When Jiang Ning's story was finished, everyone's faces showed unfinished color.

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses and clapped his hands excitedly.

"It's fun and fun, Jiang Shiyu, I didn't expect you to have such a talent for learning, and you know everything thousands of miles away.

Later, I will build a big ship, and I will also go to sea to have fun.

Jiang Shiyu, you will show me the way in the future, and let's go to the Cape of Good Hope to have a look.

There is also a great use, Liu Jin, you all go, give me a guard, we will lay a big territory for Daming overseas! ”

Seeing that he was unusually elated, Gu Da said flatteringly:

"The prince is so ambitious, the old slave naturally lives and dies.

It's just that going to sea is very risky, and you need to have nautical charts.

And the old slave happened to know that when he went to the West, he had the opportunity to take it, so he presented it to His Highness to help His Highness go to sea. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to speak, Jiang Ning exclaimed: "What Father-in-law Gu said is true, during the Taizong period, Father-in-law Zheng went to the Western Ocean seven times? ”

Isn't it burned?

Hearing his exclamation, Gu Dayong was not angry.

He has been by Zhu Houzhao's side for many years and is familiar with his heart.

According to Jiang Ning's performance today, he will soon become a celebrity in front of the prince.

And such a character just does not exclude these internal officials, and even has the meaning of being close to each other, so it is natural to be close to it.

Gu Dayong immediately showed a smile and patiently explained:

"It's Gonggong Zheng's chart.

Our family learned by chance that Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had the intention to burn these charts, but he didn't dare to do such a deceptive thing, so he hid them in the yamen of the Ministry of War, and lied that they were lost. ”

Jiang Ning was overjoyed.

According to Gu Da's intention to please Zhu Houzhao, it is absolutely impossible to lie.

So this thing is inseparable.

If you can get the chart, it will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Jiang Ning hurriedly said to Zhu Houzhao:

"If Your Highness wants to go to sea in the future, it will not be possible to do it without these charts.

In the opinion of the minister, it is better to get this as soon as possible, and prepare early. ”

Zhu Houzhao slapped his face and said excitedly:

"Jiang Shiyu said yes, I can't wait to see the Western scenery in the story."

But he soon became embarrassed again.

When Jiang Ning saw it, he was puzzled: "Your Highness is afraid that Liu Shangshu will not give it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said:

"I personally went to ask the military department for it, but he didn't dare not give it.

It's just that recently, several masters have supervised tightly, and there is a lot of schoolwork, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get out of the palace. ”

Jiang Ning muttered: "If Your Highness insists that you are unwell tomorrow, even if the Imperial Doctor can't check it, he won't dare to draw conclusions, so he has to let His Highness recuperate." In this way, you will be able to stop your schoolwork. ”

"Wonderful! That's it! ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed excitedly, as if he thought this kind of thing was very interesting.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others to discuss the details of sneaking out of the palace tomorrow.

Time came to the afternoon.

Jiang Ning came out of the palace and dragged his tired body home.

But when he thought that the well-behaved and lovely lady was still waiting for him at home, he had endless energy.

Before he knew it, he had stepped into an alley.

Listening to the endless shouting and selling in his ears, Jiang Ning decided to buy something for Li Yun'er.

Now that you have money, you can't treat this good lady badly.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Ning frequently goes in and out of various stores.

In a few moments, he had a full hand.

At this time, he casually glanced at it and saw a medicinal herb shop in front of him, and his heart moved.

With this sick body now, I have a weak heart to sleep with Li Yun'er every night, I am really aggrieved, and it is time to recuperate.

Jiang Ning immediately strode into the medicinal herb shop, glanced around, and found that only a little old man with a goatee who was over half a hundred years old was standing behind the counter.

It should be the shopkeeper.

When the old man saw Jiang Ning coming in, he glanced at the official uniform on his body twice, and his eyes flashed.

He walked to the counter to meet him, and arched his hand: "This lord, but you want to grab medicine?" ”

Jiang Ning explained: "I am weak and want to get some prescriptions for replenishing qi, I don't know if the shopkeeper has any recommendations?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver and placed it on the table.

Generally, those who open medicinal herb shops are more or less familiar with medical science.

"Your Excellency is welcome. If you don't mind, can you let the little old man take the pulse? ”

"Will the shopkeeper still see a doctor? So much best. ”

"Your Excellency, please."

The two sat down on the chairs, Jiang Ning rolled up his sleeves and stretched his arms over.

The shopkeeper took the pulse and stroked his goatee for a while before saying:

"If the little old man guesses correctly, the adult has this frail disease since he was a child."

"Exactly, it may be cured?"

Jiang Ning was a little anxious.

This is related to the happiness of the rest of his life.

"Ordinary prescriptions are not available, but the little old man knows some acupuncture and moxibustion, and it may be curable.

Would you like to give it a try? ”

Jiang Ning pondered for a while and said, "There is a shopkeeper." ”

Anyway, the body is already extremely bad, and the right to be a dead horse is a live horse doctor.
