[Today's June 1st, you are all people who do not accept the old, and you must add more! ] 】

After being ordered by the emperor, Zhu Jinghong was separated for two more days.

He originally planned to mix for two days first, pretend to show the emperor, and then go to Xiyuan to play polo to test firearms.

In these ways, it is a win-win situation for him to get closer to the generals of the military guard.

That's right, that's what he meant by winning twice.

It's a pity that an edict to open a sutra feast once again made Zhu Jinghong feel desperate, just because he also had to participate in the sutra feast.

In the past few years, every time there was a menstrual feast, it was when Zhu Jinghong suffered, and he was beaten every time he performed very poorly.

"No...... Don't sit still! ”

"Gotta think of a way to fool the past!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinghong finally had an idea, that is, the polo he was thinking about.

Polo is a sport that requires a great test of riding skills and physical strength in order to achieve a good ranking in the competition of other countries, but Zhu Jinghong has no shortage of both.

It seems to be a good excuse to let yourself practice polo and specifically respond to the challenges of various countries, but it is a big deal to set up a military order that must be the first.

Putting down the book, Zhu Jinghong shouted outside: "Someone, change clothes...... I want to face the saint! ”

Zhu Jinghong wanted to face the saint, and the little eunuch in the hall immediately went to get his clothes, and after a while, he changed his robe for Zhu Jinghong.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at the nobility exuding from his body, Zhu Jinghong smiled crookedly.

"Let's go!"

Ten minutes later, Zhu Jinghong entered the Qianqing Palace, but he could only stay outside the warm pavilion, just because there was a discussion inside.

And if it is a minister, this situation can only wait outside the palace, and those officials below the third grade can only wait outside the Qianqing Gate.

There are benefits in the near future, for example, at this moment, Zhu Jinghong can hear the content of the conversation in the warm pavilion.

"Now that the northwest is unstable, although the envoys of various countries are here to celebrate his birthday, they also have the intention of exploring my Ming Dynasty!"

"With this Holy Birthday, we have to deter them, and ...... Is there a good way to do it? ”

The voice was that of the emperor, and the tone was more serious, apparently in his opinion it was important.

In fact, at every cabinet meeting, what is discussed is important.

After a few breaths of silence in the warm pavilion, I heard someone say: "Your Majesty, if you want to shock people's hearts, let them know that I am strong and powerful!" ”

"The minister thinks that they can let them observe the arsenal, and the Ministry of Industry and the military bureau can let them take a look!"

Zhu Xianming also thought of this, and at this moment he stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

After Xie Changen finished speaking, the scholar Chen Jinyun continued: "Your Majesty...... Weapons are dead things after all, and the strength of my Ming Dynasty is not only in armament! ”

"Our etiquette system, our food and materials, all of them are the best in the world, and these can also be seen by them!"

In the Eastern world, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is all-round, and Chen Jinyun's words are really insightful.

Seeing that Zhao Yushan didn't speak, Zhu Xianming took the initiative to ask, "Zhao Qing...... What do you think? ”

Zhao Yushan has a long-term vision and outstanding ability, and Zhu Xianming attaches great importance to him, and even wants him to bypass Chen Jinyun to take over as the first assistant.

"Your Majesty, what the two pavilion elders said is reasonable, but they forgot one thing!"

"What?"

"Although my Ming Dynasty is rich, the money and grain that can be levied are distributed in the official warehouses in various places, so I can't let the Ministry of Rites take the envoys to visit all over the place, right?"

The imperial court levied taxes, in addition to silver and in kind, of which grain and silk cloth were the mainstay.

Things like grain and silk cloth are very troublesome to transport, and there is a large loss on the way, so they are basically directly transferred.

Except for a part of the money and grain in the rich provinces in the south, which was directly transferred to the imperial treasury, most of them were directly allocated to the important towns of the nine borders and managed by officials sent by the household department.

This also means that even if there are official ships coming to Beijing every day to drop grain, there will not be too much food and materials in reserve.

After all, the millions of people in the capital are greatly consumed by eating, drinking, and Lazar, and the reserve grain in the official warehouse of the capital is more for emergency purposes.

"And as far as the minister knows, the treasury of the Ministry of Industry and the War Bureau only replenished the ordnance to the nine sides a month ago, but I am afraid that there is not much inventory in the warehouse!"

In fact, there is another point that Zhao Yushan didn't say, mainly because it's not good to say it on this occasion.

It is also unknown whether the grain and ordnance houses in the account actually match the numbers in the warehouse.

If because of the visit, the officials below will tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and cause trouble on the Holy Birthday Festival, it will discredit the court.

Zhao Yushan's words were tantamount to refuting the two ministers who had just spoken out.

First assistant Xie Changen felt that it didn't matter, anyway, he was going to resign after this year, and he really didn't have any interest in the cabinet battle.

"Then according to Zhao Ge Lao's meaning, what should I do?" Chen Jinyun asked in a cold voice.

Zhu Xianming also looked at Zhao Yushan, hoping that he could give a more insightful plan.

"Your Majesty, whether it's weapons or food, they're just dead things......"

Zhao Yushan bowed and said, "The minister thinks ...... It is better to order the Beijing camp to perform martial arts, so that the envoys of various countries can observe, our Ming army is majestic and upright, and it will be able to deter Xiaoxiao! ”

But I heard Chen Jinyun refute: "Martial arts? If you don't send tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid that there won't be much momentum, how can you talk about deterring Xiaoxiao? ”

"But if tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are dispatched, the soldiers will be powerful...... Aren't you afraid of colliding with the emperor? ”

"Right now it's the Emperor's Holy Birthday Festival, not the Shanglin Yuan hunting in early spring!"

There is no doubt that Chen Jinyun also has some truth in what he said, but Zhao Yushan will not approve of it, and the two will debate again.

And Zhu Jinghong, who was listening quietly at the door, was not idle with his head, and was thinking about countermeasures from beginning to end.

When the three cabinet ministers couldn't stop debating and were about to come up with a "face project", Zhu Jinghong finally couldn't help it.

So he walked along the aisle and went straight to the direction of the warm pavilion, and the little eunuch on duty couldn't stop him.

"Thirteenth Master, don't ......"

"Thirteenth Master, you stop ...... soon"

Zhu Jinghong ignored these people, he had already appeared outside the door of the warm pavilion, meeting the eyes of the monarchs and ministers in the room.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Zhu Jinghong took the first step to speak: "Dad...... You want to deter the envoys, your son has a plan! ”

"Damn bastard, you're getting bolder now, and you dare to trespass even in the court!"

Zhu Xianming had a cold face and scolded loudly: "Someone is coming, ......"

In fact, just now Zhu Jinghong forcibly broke into the palace, and more than a dozen guards had already crowded into the palace, but he didn't take anyone because he saw that it was Zhu Jinghong.

At this moment, the emperor called, and all these people rushed up and surrounded Zhu Jinghong at the gate of the warm pavilion.

"Get out and beat twenty canes!"

Forcibly breaking into the emperor's bedroom, this is a very big sin, in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the queen, Zhu Jinghong was the second to do this.

If it weren't for the emperor's own son, he would have been killed on the spot at this moment.

Seeing that the guards were about to make a move, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly shouted, "Dad...... You let your son finish speaking, and if what the child says makes you dissatisfied, your son is willing to receive fifty court rods! ”

In this narrow aisle, Zhu Jinghong is really not afraid of fighting, and more than a dozen guards are not enough for him to beat.

Of course, he didn't dare to do anything here, it would be a fool's mistake to do that.

Zhu Xianming had a cold face, and several ministers were watching their noses and noses, and they didn't intend to get involved in the emperor's family affairs at all.

"What you said...... Fifty rods, I want to hear what you have to say! Zhu Xianming still had a straight face.

"Then the son came in and said?"

Seeing that Zhu Xianming didn't react, Zhu Jinghong was unceremonious, put aside the guards and walked into the main hall.

After standing still, Zhu Jinghong coughed dryly twice, and then said: "Dad, my son is outside, I listened to the statements of a few elders, and came up with a plan to do both!" ”

After listening to what the elder said, he came up with a plan to achieve both, Zhu Jinghong praised the three ministers with these words, making him have a lot less resistance to implementing the strategy.

"Don't hurry up yet!" Zhu Xianming was extremely impatient.
