Kunning Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang leaned on the chair and closed her eyes to recuperate, and the young Zhu Qizhen stood behind the chair and pressed her shoulders.

"Grandma Huang, is this strength okay?"

"Okay." Empress Dowager Zhang smiled with relief: "Zhen'er has grown up. ”

Zhu Qizhen said ashamedly: "My grandson is incompetent, so that the imperial grandmother is still working for state affairs at this age." ”

"Why... You've done a good job. Empress Dowager Zhang said with a smile, suddenly, she realized something, and slowly opened her eyes, "Zhen'er, come, sit." ”

Zhu Qizhen stopped, came to her and sat down, and called out cordially: "Grandma Huang." ”

"Huh...... The town has grown up! The Empress Dowager Zhang repeated the sentence again, which was completely different from the tone and mood of the previous sentence.

"There's still a lot to learn from the town." Zhu Qizhen said modestly, as if he didn't notice her change.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at her grandson, as if she saw her son back then, and at the same time she was relieved, but she also felt sad and even cold.

That's it, I don't have two years to live, since he wants it, then give it to him...... Empress Dowager Zhang sighed and said seriously:

"You are thirteen years old this year, and you are already familiar with national politics and the court situation.

"No, the town is still careless, and needs the assistance of the imperial grandmother." Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said.

"When you grow up, grandma believes that you can do a good job, and you will take over the power of this country sooner or later, sooner rather than later, it's decided."

"Grandma ...... Emperor"

"Don't say it again, the imperial grandmother is old, and if she controls the government again, she is suspected of not letting go of power," Empress Dowager Zhang's tone was stern, "Could it be that you don't have the confidence to do a good job?" ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned and said seriously: "My grandson has confidence. ”

"That's good." Empress Dowager Zhang smiled, "Grandma is tired and needs to rest for a while." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, helped her to the bed, and stayed with her for a while before leaving.

As soon as he came out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "Let Wang Zhen go to Qianqing Palace and wait." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The accompanying eunuch saluted and hurried away.

…

Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Qizhen arrived, Wang Zhen was already waiting.

Seeing him enter the palace, he hurriedly flattered him, "Your Majesty, are you looking for a slave?" ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, walked to the chair and sat down, crossed his legs and looked at him with interest, not disappointed.

Wang Zhen was inexplicably looked at and said, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at the slave maid so much?" ”

"Don't you think there's something missing?" Zhu Qizhen said.

"Missing ......" Wang Zhen suddenly woke up, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Only then did Zhu Qizhen retract his gaze, got up and walked to the red lacquered wooden pillar, and took down the hanging Son of Heaven Sword.

"Qiang Chang~!"

Qing Feng suddenly came out of the sheath, Zhu Qizhen pulled a sword flower, and pointed at Wang Zhen, "Big companion, what do you think of my swordsmanship?" ”

Wang Zhen didn't hear the words of Ping, so he didn't dare to get up rashly, and said with a sneer: "The emperor's swordsmanship is outstanding. ”

"Really?" Zhu Qizhen smiled, seemed to be very proud, and played again.

The two of them were getting closer and closer, and seeing the three-foot Qingfeng close in front of him, Wang Zhen was really scared, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you ...... Take it easy. ”

He is not stupid, he knows that this is the little emperor's intention, but he doesn't understand where he provoked the little emperor.

"Huh~"

The sharp blade of the sword pierced the air and slashed against his face, and Wang Zhen could even feel the coldness on the blade.

Rao is no matter how slow he reacts, he can see that this little emperor has murderous intentions towards him.

It's just that he still can't figure out where he provoked this little emperor.

"The emperor spares his life!" Wang Zhen trembled and kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave is stupid, please ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

Zhu Qizhen put the sword into the sheath, sat down in front of the chair again, and said quietly: "A few years ago, the Empress Dowager said that you bewitched me and wanted to kill you, who saved you?" ”

"It's the emperor." Wang Zhen hurriedly spoke, and said with a touched face: "If it weren't for the emperor's intercession, the slave and maid would have already buried their bones, and the emperor's great kindness to the slave and maid, the slave and maid would not be able to repay their deaths." ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Isn't it?" At that time, I didn't have that much face, so I could let the Queen Mother put away her murderous intentions. ”

Wang Zhen was stunned and said tentatively: "Is it Sanyang?" ”

"Well, that's good." Zhu Qizhen clapped his hands, "Sure enough, I still remember it clearly after a few years." ”

Wang Zhen finally understood what the problem was, and hurriedly buckled his head: "The emperor forgives the sin, Sanyang is not interceding for the slave, but for the emperor." ”

After a pause, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have been loyal to you from beginning to end!" ”

Zhu Qizhen was unmoved, and said lightly: "You and those things in the outer court, do you really not know?"

You frequently seek benefits for the Queen Mother's family, don't you know? He said coldly: "The queen mother's father has a master book, and he actually made a marquis, is it a little too much?"

O Otomo, what do you think I should do? ”

"Your Majesty ......" Wang Zhen was dumbfounded, he never expected that the little emperor, who was still kind and pleasant yesterday, would suddenly come out like this, it was like a different person.

Even my mother's family and my grandfather don't care!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen was even more frightened.

His behavior is no longer stepping on two boats, the outer court, the harem, the emperor, and the proper three-surnamed house slaves.

He has read "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the same is true of Lu Bu in it, and in the end, Liu Bei said a word, and Lu Bu was killed by Cao Cao.

Wang Zhen secretly scolded: Damn, who is this 'Liu Bei'?

He thinks that he doesn't have Lu Bu's ability, don't look at him showing off his might, the scenery inside and outside the palace is the same, but the emperor wants to kill him, which is a matter of one sentence.

Wang Zhen didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't dare to defend it anymore, just kowtowed vigorously.

"The emperor spares his life, the slave and maid will no longer dare, from now on, the slave and maid will only be loyal to you." Wang Zhen cried bitterly, "I hope that the emperor will see the love of the slave and maid who has been with you since childhood, and spare the slave and maid this time." ”

Zhu Qizhen stared at him for a long time, and finally said, "Get up, right?" ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie ......" Wang Zhen was incoherent, he was really scared.

When he first castrated himself, he had never been so afraid.

"I can let you go, but you have to cherish it too." Zhu Qizhen said lightly, "Next time, you can go underground to explain." ”

"There's no next time, there's no next time." Wang Zhen said busily.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand.

Wang Zhen kowtowed again and again: "The slave and the maid retired, and the slave and the maid retired......"

Zhu Qizhen hung the sword of the Son of Heaven on the pillar, and said in his heart: Wang Zhen is ruthless and bad enough, I lack such a person, and I can't find someone to replace him for the time being, let's see how he performs later.

paused: The queen mother also has to be beaten, there was the queen mother before, acquiescing to her some small actions in order to check and balance, and she can not be more tolerant of her in the future.

Zhu Qizhen's eyes were clear, and his heart was agitated: Five years, five years, the imperial power that belongs to me, I want to take it all back!

He calmed down his agitated mood and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he left the main hall, he met Yu Qian.

Zhu Qizhen stopped, "Yu Aiqing is in a hurry?" ”

Yu Qian nodded: "Warat can't hold it anymore." ”

"Wara..."Zhu Qizhen frowned, "It's really Adou who can't be supported, the trade is so big, they are not even Tatar opponents." ”

Yu Qian sighed: "Warat is rich, but its strength is not good, and many goods have been robbed by Tatars." ”

"So...... What is Yu Aiqing's good plan? ”

"Send troops to help." Yu Qian said helplessly, "This can only be the case now." ”

Zhu Qizhen was thrilled, for an emperor, there is no power that can be compared with military power, and if you want to take charge of military power, starting a war is the most effective way.

"Send troops to help..."Zhu Qizhen's eyes were wide, but soon, he calmed down again, "You can't send troops." ”

"Why?" Yu Qian was puzzled, "The emperor can know what the grassland will be like once Wara is destroyed." ”

"Of course I know." Zhu Qizhen said, "If the Tatar unifies the steppe, it will surely spy on the Central Plains." ”

"What ...... the emperor?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "But have you ever thought that once the Ming Dynasty sends troops, Warat will inevitably drag the Ming into the quagmire of war for the sake of its own interests, the grassland is vast, it is not difficult to win, but it is much more difficult to find them and fight a decisive battle;

If you want to annihilate it in one fell swoop, it is even more wishful thinking. ”

After a pause, "Not only that, but the Ming army will also cause panic among the tribes of the grassland, out of the mentality of relying on a big tree to enjoy the shade, they will definitely move closer to the Tatars!" ”

Yu Qian was speechless, and after a long time, he was sincerely convinced: "The emperor is wise!"

However, Warat cannot die. ”

"I understand!" Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, "Since trade items can't increase their combat power, let's help them with firearms, cannons, guns, and cannonballs...... All aid. ”

"Huh?" Yu Qian was taken aback, "This... Wouldn't it be inappropriate? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, the grassland is rich in cattle and sheep, but the resources are not too rich, and the iron-smelting process is even lower. Zhu Qizhen said, "But... This matter can't be put on the table, Yu Aiqing and Xuanfu Yang Hong have a very personal relationship, so he can operate it secretly. ”

Yu Qian's face was hot, "The minister obeys the order." ”

He and Yang Hong are not simply personal friends, they are married, his sister is married to Yang Hong's brother, in addition, there is also Wang Zhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Zhi's sister is also married to Yang Hong's brother.

The three of them were married.

There is Yang Hong in the locality, and Yu Qian and Wang Zhi in the court.

Yu and Wang advanced and retreated together, plus Zhang Fu, even so, the three of them could only barely resist the growing cabinet.

In this complicated situation, the Empress Dowager Zhang can only maintain chaos.

The situation is complicated, and the cutting is constant, and the rationalization is chaotic.

"I'll do it." Yu Qian arched his hand.

"I just happened to go to Dongyuan to send off the teacher." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't want to go to Dongyuan, he just wanted to accompany Yu Qian all the way, so that some people could see that he was close to Yu Qian, and then improve his status in the court.

That's all.

Yu Qian suddenly felt that the emperor seemed to have grown a lot all at once......

~

The entrance to the palace.

Li Qingbai waited boredly, he heard that Yu Qian had entered the palace, and he blocked him here.

There is no time, Li Qing can only read Yu Qian's archive in order to quickly enter the game.
