"Don't get me wrong, His Royal Highness the Second Emperor Sun, His Royal Highness the Taisun asked me to bring you a few words."

Ji Gang explained to Zhu Zhanji, he solemnly walked to Xu Bin's side, stared at Xu Bin and the others, his eyes were like torches: "Your Highness asked me to tell you that you are very lucky this time, although you were released, the imperial court forbade you to leave Jinling, let alone make trouble, and you must truthfully accept the arrangements of the imperial court." ”

"If anyone dares to go out of Jinling, Nu'er Gandusi will cut off 100 heads. Whoever causes trouble, Taisun will kill 1,000 people there. ”

After that, under the angry expressions of Xu Bin and others, Ji Gang patted the other party's shoulder.

"I kindly remind you that there are more than 37,000 people there. When you're impulsive, you should plan well, but don't want to separate everyone. Since you have planned to die, it is better for everyone to die together so as not to miss the opportunity to meet underground. ”

On the other side, inside the main hall.

"Son, which one do you like?"

In the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, Princess Zhang sat at the top dignifiedly, chuckling at the show girls eating and drinking below.

She looked at the back of the screen, looked at Zhu Zhangui of these beautiful show girls, and asked him which one he liked.

Because there are all women in Chuxiu Palace, it is inconvenient for Zhu Zhangui to appear in front of everyone. He was on the screen behind the seat of the crown princess, choosing those who were interested.

Looking at the show girls who are gentle and virtuous, dignified in diet and life, Zhu Zhangui's eyes can't help but sparkle.

I have to say that the beauties who can be selected for the palace are very beautiful.

In modern aesthetics, this beauty is definitely at the level of school flowers.

And none of them are airfields.

Because the airport was selected in the first round of screening.

Seeing that her son did not respond, Princess Zhang thought that Zhu Zhangui was still looking for it, so she picked up the water cup and motioned to the show girls to let them face her so that her son could see clearly.

The show girls are very polite, they use the most standard etiquette, first thank you, and then pick up a cup and drink tea.

"What's that, Princess...... Let me go down and see for myself, do you have any comments? ”

"Ahem!"

Zhu Zhangui's bold idea, Lei's Princess Zhang didn't drink a sip of tea, and choked directly.

Hu Shanxiang on the other side approached and gave the crown princess a smooth back.

The show girl below also understands very well and pretends not to see what is happening on stage.

"Ahem......"

Zhang Shi coughed for a long time before he recovered, and turned his head to look at the screen behind him.

"If you give me any more nonsense, don't stay here."

Zhu Zhangui smiled and stopped talking. He went on to observe 100 beautiful show girls.

In fact, according to the rules, the final round should be 50 show girls.

But this time is very different.

This time it was for Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Zhanji, so the number of people doubled.

But Zhu Zhanji fell in love with Sun Ruowei, and with Sun Ruowei, the eldest brother no longer needed a show girl, so he left all the 100 to Zhu Zhangui.

While the show girls below are calm on the surface, they are actually nervous.

Since leaving home, they have gone through countless competitions. Now they have finally reached the last step, as long as Zhu Zhangui nods.

Only Zhu Zhangui pointed out who can fly to the branch and become a phoenix.

After looking at it for a while, Zhu Zhangui suddenly remembered something and quietly asked Zhang.

"Is Ji Gang's niece inside?"

Zhang shook his head slowly and said in a low voice: "She has been designated as the concubine of the Taisun, she doesn't need to participate here." I saw her in the morning and asked her to go back. ”

"How is she?"

Zhu Zhangui wanted to hear his mother's comments.

"Not bad. She is very good-looking, has a good figure, and has good manners. She's a year older than you, but that's not a disadvantage, older women are better for the family. ”

Zhu Zhangui thought to himself that his own mother was the crown princess, and they all said that Ji Gang's niece was a good girl, which meant that she was really a good girl.

Zhang is the crown princess, lives in the palace every day, and has seen all kinds of beauties.

She can give a good evaluation, which means that Ji Gang's niece is quite good.

"You kid, which one do you like? Tell me now. I have a lot of things to attend to, and I don't have time to stay up here with you. ”

"Don't worry, let me see for myself!"

Seeing that his mother was in a hurry, Zhu Zhangui stood up, walked to the screen behind the show girl, and walked around.

The show girls listened to the footsteps behind them, their hearts beating nervously, trying to maintain their graceful posture.

Although Zhu Zhangui and Zhang were talking in a low voice, the room was quiet, and they could vaguely hear that it was a person.

In addition to the emperor, there are only princes and grandchildren to choose from.

Although they don't know which of the two royal grandsons it is, they just need to be in the best shape.

It would be better if they could be chosen.

He walked around the screen behind the show girl, stopping behind a girl who was slightly behind.

Hearing the footsteps that stopped behind her, Zhao Ling'er suddenly became nervous.

Her father was just a small family, and he offended people because of her.

Zhao Linger has had an outstanding appearance since she was a child. She is a well-known beauty.

Since she became an adult, a steady stream of people have come to her house every day to propose marriage.

Zhao Ling'er's father has only one daughter, and he loves her very much. He promised Zhao Linger to decide his marriage.

Due to her mother's illness, Zhao Linger didn't want to get married so early, so her father rejected them. She wanted to wait until her mother was well before considering her marriage.

Her father was a courteous guard. It's hard to say anything if an ordinary person is rejected.

But someone can't refuse.

The man was the son of her father's immediate boss.

The son of this thousand households has a bad reputation.

Relying on his father's relationship, he often bullied men and women.

Of course, Zhao Linger doesn't like such people.

But the other party relied on his father's identity to oppress him and wanted to marry her.

In addition, the boss also boldly claimed that if Zhao Ling'er did not marry Qianhu, her father would be fired and even lose his life.

Seeing that their family was about to be cornered, the news that His Majesty had selected two imperial grandsons reached her ears.

Zhao Ling'er knew that this was her last chance.

For her father, for her mother, for the son of a person who could not marry the daughter of the Brocade Guard.

She told her father that she wanted to participate in the draft.

Her father also knew it was his family's only chance.

After spending a lot of money to trust the relationship, Zhao Ling'er and her father finally sent her in.

After being careful and stepping up, Zhao Linger finally came to the last step.

Unfortunately, after coming here, she spent almost all her money.

She didn't have the money to arrange a seat in the front row, so her seat was arranged in the back of the most remote place.

She herself felt that she could not see herself, let alone her imperial grandson.

If the emperor's daughter-in-law and grandson could not see her face clearly.

Thinking that if she wasn't chosen, she would be sent back, Zhao Ling'er gradually felt a trace of despair.

When she despairs, she already imagined that she was about to be sent back and be forced to marry Chino's son in the future.

Heaven suddenly gave her a big surprise.

This imperial grandson does not seem to be bound by etiquette. He walked down from the upper floors and observed the show girls behind the screen.

What made her heart almost skip a beat was that he stopped as he walked behind him.

Zhu Zhangui stopped and silenced the entire hall.

A few minutes later, a eunuch walked out from behind the screen, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and put a jade pendant on Zhao Ling'er.

Seeing the jade pendant in their hands, the other show girls could not hide their disappointment and envy.

The appearance of this jade pendant means that the emperor and grandson walking behind them have already chosen someone.

The fairy-looking girl in front of her will at least be the concubine of the grandson in the future.

Zhang, who was sitting at the top of the table, also looked up and down at the girl his son had chosen.

She is very beautiful, with an indescribable cold aura between her eyebrows, and her temperament is very good.

After observing for a long time, Zhang nodded with satisfaction. She said a few words to Hu Shanxiang beside her, stood up and left.

Everything has been settled, waiting for the final confirmation of the old man.

Walking out of the palace, Zhang looked at his son and nodded in satisfaction.

"Good boy, you have good taste. That girl is smart. ”

Zhu Zhangui raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course." Don't you know whose son I am? ”

Then he sighed in frustration and said in disappointment, "Why can't I have all these show girls?" I feel inexplicably heartbroken to think of such a wonderful group of girls who will marry another man when they go back in the future. ”

Zhang was dumbfounded, and looked at his son speechlessly.

The show girl was chosen, which made Zhang's breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

Over the next two days, Zhu Zhangui was pulled by Zhang to do all sorts of things.

The comparison of the date of birth, the choice of clothes to be worn at the wedding, and the arrangements of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

He was busy, and he was not released by his mother until he arrived at the barracks in the south of the city to inform him.

"Your Highness!"

When he walked out of the East Palace, the butler walked up to him with a long box.

"Alright, let me see what the barrel you told me to do looks like."

He waved his hand to signal Lao He to stand up. Impatiently, he snatched the long box.

"Your Highness, this gun was made according to your requirements, but the craftsmen may not be able to reach your goal in a short time because of the rifling problem you are talking about."

"I'm worried you'll be in a hurry, so I'll let them be the first one, not rifling."

Zhu Zhangui nodded and picked up the tunnel rifle in the box.

"Have you tested the results? How many times the dosage can you tolerate? Did you run into any other problems while doing it? ”

Lao He took out a small notebook and flipped through it. "This barrel is sturdy. I've tried five times the dose of gunpowder and it's fine. And, according to the gunpowder ratio you asked, the range has increased a lot, and it can still be lethal at a hundred paces. ”

"There's a problem. At first it was a problem with the main spring, but it was later solved by new craftsmen. ”

"One hundred steps!"

Obviously, Zhu Zhangui was not satisfied with the range.

A musket made of seamless steel tubing has only a hundred paces of lethality. It's a terrible thing.

The craftsmen were new to this weapon, so they knew only one thing and not another.

He was able to make this gun because they copied it according to a simple drawing given by Zhu Zhangui.

After becoming proficient, everything will improve.

Artisans still have a lot to learn. Let them learn slowly!

Putting the gun on his back, Zhu Zhangui took the bullets and gunpowder handed over by Lao He and said: "After you go back, each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels, and those who have made outstanding contributions will be rewarded with another thousand taels." ”

"And tell every rifling person who can get a gun, or who makes a breakthrough in the study of guns, I will reward him with 100,000 taels, and I will also tell Your Majesty to arrange an official position in the Ministry of Works for him."

"Haha, the master heard that the rewards are so rich, I'm afraid he will study hard."

After that, he told something else. Then he took the gun and went to the old man to ask for something.

If the old man wants the Shenji Camp to be great again, he has to give something.

Although the Shenji Battalion belongs to him for the time being, the war is for the imperial court. If the imperial court does not spend money, it is unreasonable.

When he came to the old man's dormitory and was about to go inside, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

The eunuch on duty at the door lay on the ground and did not dare to look up. There was a faint roar from the old man.

Hearing the roar inside, Zhu Zhangui hesitated for a moment and walked in cautiously.

Zhu Zhangui walked into the study, and he saw the second uncle kneeling in front of the old man.

Little Snot and a group of eunuchs knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

The scene in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

If he remembers correctly, this should be the second uncle's first time in prison, and many things have not been handled well and he has been punished.

The old man hated it, and what he said was hard to hear.

The second uncle has a straightforward personality and a short temper.

Then the second uncle quarreled with the old man angrily.

Haha, he's glad to see this.

Thinking of the plot of the funeral, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He moved back, hid himself, and began to watch the excitement.

He came a little late. The quarrel between these two people is over. Zhu Gaoxu stood up angrily and ripped off his python robe.

"Get out of here!"

Zhu Gaoxu ripped off his python robe and threw it on the ground. He said angrily at the old man: "You still want to find a Jianwen, so what did you do at that time?" Rebel! Since you said so, you still went to Jinyiwei's edict and put Jianwen. Don't think I don't know you let that little rabbit cub lock Jianwen in prison! ”

Zhu Zhangui raised his eyebrows.

Second Uncle really needs a lesson!

After saying these words, he made up his mind that when the second uncle's funeral was held, he must take good care of him in order to repay the second uncle and feel the love for him during this time. Anyway, the second uncle is no longer in charge of the country, so can he get the house and the 20 million taels back?

Zhu Gaoxu, who was angry, was not afraid of the old man anymore, and directly sprayed with all his strength.

"You really regard yourself as a loyal minister, we are a rebellion of the whole family, and the ancestors and ancestors can see it clearly below. Not to mention cultivating a Yongle canon, you are becoming the first saint in the world, and the historian will not write you as if you are the successor of the throne. ”

"The country has such a little money a year, and finally has some savings, you are good, with a wave of your hand, half of it will be released, and the rest will not be moved."
