When Zhen Qin led Baochai to Ningshou Palace, Zhu Jinghong came out of the East Palace.

Originally, he was just having a meal with the prince, but after the other party got drunk, he talked about it with a handful of snot and tears.

Even if Yuan Chun persuaded him, he couldn't stop the prince from pouring bitter water out.

Of course, while listening to the prince's nonsense, Zhu Jinghong also learned some new news.

For example, the current pattern of the imperial court is that because of the suppression at the imperial meeting, more people have now fallen to the Rui Wangfu.

A very obvious phenomenon is that there are more and more twists and turns in the impeachment of subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace, and some people even directly impeach the crown prince, saying that he has befriended foreign officials in Jinling and Jiangbei.

These impeachments are not groundless, so it is difficult for Zhu Jingyuan to deal with them, and he has recently written a lot of self-defense notes.

In other words, now that the court is calm on the surface, there is already a storm in the dark.

In fact, if it weren't for the approaching Holy Birthday of the Emperor Taishang, the emperor would have deliberately suppressed this matter, but I was afraid that it would have turned the world upside down.

Walking out of the East Palace, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh: "In the position of the prince, it is wrong to do more, and it is wrong to do less, and it is even more wrong not to do it...... It's hard! ”

"Fortunately, I'm not a prince yet...... This doesn't bother me for the time being! ”

Putting aside these messy thoughts, Zhu Jinghong rushed to the palace, he wanted to go to Kunning Palace to inquire about the situation.

When he was about to pass through the Qianqing Palace, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"Stop!"

In the palace, the emperor is naturally the only one who can talk to him like this.

"Panic, what's it like?"

Turning around and looking at the emperor surrounded by eunuchs, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly saluted: "Dad...... The son is going to say hello to his mother! ”

"Hello at this time? When did you become so filial? ”

It is said that morning and dusk are fixed, but it is noon, so it is really not the time.

Without waiting for Zhu Jinghong to make up a reason, Zhu Xianming then asked, "Aren't you training in Shanglinyuan?" How's your practice going? ”

"The practice is okay, it's a lot better than when I first came, but my son still doesn't feel enough, and he must keep improving!"

Zhu Xianming also walked towards the deep palace, and asked as he walked, "In this way, are you still very serious?" ”

Following the emperor, Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile: "Dad, my son can't calm down when he reads, and he doesn't need to be taught to do these things!" ”

Glancing at Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming said coldly: "I can't calm down when I read...... Looks like you're very proud! ”

Zhu Jinghong hurriedly replied: "This ...... My son has no such heart! ”

"Go to Lin Yuan to practice, I have to watch it in a few days, you'd better practice to make a name, otherwise...... No mercy! ”

Under the emperor's reprimand, Zhu Jinghong unconsciously trembled, and then replied: "Yes!" ”

"It's just that my son has a request!"

Not asking for it at this time is a waste in Zhu Jinghong's opinion.

"Say!"

"In order to protect the majesty of the army, my son wants to put on new armor for the sergeants, and I ask my father for permission!"

If everyone changes, it will be more than 1,500 sets.

The guards use the armor, and the cost of a set is about twenty taels, which is equivalent to a year's harvest of a well-off family.

There are more than 1,500 sets of armor, which is converted into nearly 30,000 taels, which is already a large amount of expenditure.

Seeing that the emperor did not express his position, Zhu Jinghong continued: "Dad, you won't understand the truth that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles!" ”

"I want you to teach?" The Emperor's voice rose sharply.

"Son doesn't dare!"

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xianming pondered: "I remember that the North Fourth Guard, more than 3,000 sets were replaced at the beginning of the year, and there are still ninety percent new ones now. ”

The renewal of armor was carried out in batches, and more than 5,000 soldiers could get seven or eight hundred sets a year, and they could all be replaced in seven or eight years.

Zhu Jinghong immediately explained; "Dad, this time it's for the envoys of the world, let's wear half-old clothes but not new, don't we make the envoys of the Khan League think that we can't even afford to wear new armor?"

"If you want me to say...... If you want to change it all, you will approve more than 1,000 pieces, and give the sergeants a new set, one set per person! ”

More than 1,500 sets, more than 30,000 taels of silver, Zhu Jinghong said it lightly.

Seeing that the emperor still didn't say anything, Zhu Jinghong said in a heart: "Dad...... You can't afford to give something like that, can you? ”

"What did you say?"

Zhu Xianming stopped, looked at his son beside him coldly, and was so frightened that Zhu Jinghong hurriedly hooked his waist.

"Isn't it just a little armor, I'll give you fifteen hundred sets, one set per person!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Xianming said in a stern tone: "If you can't practice what you say, hum...... I'll skin you! ”

Zhu Jinghong's throat surged, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly replied, "Yes...... Be! ”

Continuing to move forward with his hands behind his back, Zhu Xianming said: "Go back and write an excerpt and hand it to the cabinet, after the celebrant approves the red, you go to the Ministry of Industry to collect it with the ticket!" ”

Although it only takes one word from the emperor to let Zhu Jinghong go to the Ministry of Industry to receive things, Zhu Xianming does not want to use "privileges" at this moment.

After all, the rules and system of the imperial court also need to be maintained by him, the emperor.

"Yes!"

"Let's go...... Let's go see your mother! ”

"Dad, are you also going to Kunning Palace?"

"Hmm!"

"Then you go first, my son will go back and write a note, and I will go to say hello to my mother later!"

Going to Kunning Palace with the emperor was completely uncomfortable, and of course Zhu Jinghong would not go with him.

So without waiting for Zhu Xianming to say more, Zhu Jinghong ran away without looking back, and Zhu Xianming snorted coldly.

"This rebel!"

After scolding like this, Zhu Xianming turned around and walked north.

Entering Kunning Palace, the queen was drinking tea in the side hall, and Zhu Xianming walked in with his hands behind his back, looking not very happy on his face.

After sitting down, Zhu Xianming immediately spoke first: "Qingyin, why do you have to let me come over?" Can't you go to the Qianqing Palace and say? ”

"Then the emperor always comes to see the empress!"

Seeing Zhu Xianming so magnificent, Yang Qingyin raised his eyes and looked at him: "Such a big anger, it seems that who made you angry!" ”

"Don't diverge, speak for yourself...... How many times have I been to Kunning Palace? How many times have you been to Qianqing Palace? ”

"Are you finished?" Yang Qingyin's tone was flat.

"You ......"

Zhu Xianming was helpless, and finally waved his hand: "Say it...... What did you call me for? ”

"Sheng'er's attendant has been chosen!"

"Hmm!"

Picking up the teacup in response, Zhu Xianming asked, "Who is the last one?" ”

The three Zhu Xianming who were set in the interior knew, so he only asked the last one.

"Xue family girl!"

"Which Xue family girl?" Zhu Xianming didn't think about it for a while.

He thinks too much about things every day, how can he remember the little Jinling Xue family.

"The Xue family in Jinling is the Xue family who saved the thirteenth child, and chose the daughter of her family!"

Only then did Zhu Xianming come to his senses, and then said: "Because her family saved the old thirteen, you chose her?" ”

"Of course not, these girls selected today are the most outstanding, and she is a rare good child!"

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Xianming said in surprise: "It's rare for you to praise people like this, it seems that this girl is very popular with you!" ”

"Who doesn't like such a girl!" When he said this, Yang Qingyin thought of his youngest son, and secretly said that this little bastard would really pick.

"It's okay to choose, and that's why you called me over?" Zhu Xianming raised his head and asked.

Who knew that Yang Qingyin was not in a hurry to reply, but took care of his clothes and put on a very formal shelf.

"Of course not!"

"Why is that?" Zhu Xianming became vigilant.

"I heard that there are many people in the court who impeach the fourth child now, what's going on?"

Zhu Xianming became angry when he mentioned this, and immediately said: "The mess he made by himself, you have to ask him!" ”
