The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 722 Zhu Ying's flicker, Zhu Yuanzhang's doting
In Huagai Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the list handed in by the Ministry of Punishment, then threw it on the desk and scolded:
"This group of greedy guys, our eldest grandson has already increased their salaries so much, it's not good for them to think about serving the court, and they are still such fish and meat people, what's the use of keeping them, they should all be executed."

Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment heard the words, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "I obey the order."

According to the revised Ming law, these corrupt officials will not be executed directly because of this. There is a high probability that they will be sent to Annan or the borderlands and other bitter cold places to become school teachers to atone for their sins.

Generally speaking, the prison term is longer than hard labor for such a relatively easy disposal method, starting with 30 years.

More people are naturally willing to accept this than capital punishment.

But they were unlucky and met His Majesty to check.

Every month at the end of the month, Zhu Yuanzhang would summon the six ministers, and then look at their situation this month.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang is not as irritable as before, seeing these corrupt officials is basically a killing word.

There is no need for Zhu Ying to argue with the old man because of dozens of corrupt officials. Moreover, the corrupt officials who can be on Zhu Yuanzhang's case will certainly not be small.

Those who have embezzled hundreds of coins are not even eligible to be included in this booklet.

"Recently, with the development of our Ming Dynasty, there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere, and officials from all over the country can also be more relaxed and covertly use the power in their hands to carry out corruption."

"In this regard, the Ministry of Criminal Justice must think carefully and adopt various methods of supervision, so as not to allow such acts to spread."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Yang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, quickly responded, and stated that the Ministry of Punishment is currently working with Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to prepare for a cleaning operation in the Ming Dynasty.

The third department sent people to various provinces to set up inspections and governance.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then checked the memorials submitted by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Officials one by one, and pointed out suggestions for revision.

By the time the meeting ended, almost an hour had passed.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched his waist and stretched his muscles and bones.

Xiao Wencheng is about to start class now, and he doesn't stay with Zhu Yuanzhang most of the time during the day, so he is much cleaner.

But it also made Zhu Yuanzhang miss him occasionally, so he asked Liu He about Xiao Wencheng's situation.

Hearing that Xiaowen Cheng likes Wu but not Wen, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Nonsense, our future emperor of Ming Dynasty, how can he be a martial artist, he should study hard so that he can govern the country in the future."

"Who made our great-eldest grandson interested in learning martial arts?"

That's the question, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Yu with some unkind eyes.

He knew that the little guy liked to play with Jiang Yu very much.

Feeling His Majesty's gaze, Jiang Yu felt his scalp tingling, and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, it should be Your Majesty the Grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback: "Da grandson? What's going on?"

Jiang Yu quickly explained.

It turned out that last time Zhu Ying took his family to Xuanwu Lake for a spring outing.

Because there were more people and so many concubines, Xuanwu Lake was banned.

At that time, Zhu Ying's little guys were playing together, and somehow they started playing the game of acting as officers, soldiers and bandits, and the role was still Water Margin.

As a result, a dispute occurred because of Wu Song's relationship.

Xiao Wenri said that he had seen a tiger, and that Wu Song's fight against a tiger was a lie, and he couldn't win at all. It is impossible for a person to have such great strength, and even the imperial guards in the palace did not have such great strength.

Then the other little guys are not convinced, but also supportive.

Finally, when the trouble came to Zhu Ying, they all begged their father and king to comment.

Zhu Ying said that Wu Song would definitely kill the tiger.

There are two little guys who are not convinced.

Then he stared at his father in a daze, and directly pulled up a willow tree with one hand.

This is an imitation of the monk Hua in the Water Margin pulling up the weeping willow upside down.

Upside-down weeping willows are the scriptures.

But this willow tree is a real willow tree.

The guards of the palace guarding next to him all watched with eyelids jumping.

They had heard the rumors about the grandson's amazing military strength, but they all thought it was just a rumor. Now that such a scene appeared before their eyes, it was really eye-popping.

Xiao Wencheng's eyes lit up, and he pestered Zhu Ying to teach him peerless martial arts.

Where Zhu Ying knows these things, she has more strength.

Then trick Xiao Wencheng to eat well, so that he can gain strength.

As a result, Xiao Wencheng was so focused on martial arts, he had no interest in culture classes at all.

"Our eldest grandson, is he really so powerful? We haven't watched him practice martial arts." Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some doubts.

Jiang Yu smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps this may be a natural divine power."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Impossible, when my grandson was young, he didn't have such talent."

Zhu Xiongying was born with heart disease when she was a child, not to mention her natural supernatural powers, even with a little exercise, she was out of breath.

"It seems that the grandson must have had some adventures in the Western Regions." Zhu Yuanzhang said after thinking.

He didn't think it was possible for Dasun to impersonate this aspect.

For now, in fact, false, true, is not so important.

Even if it is fake, it can only be taken seriously.

Moreover, all kinds of evidence prove that the grandson must be the grandson.

If it hadn't been forcibly brought by the fourth child, it is very likely that the eldest grandson will never go to the capital in this life, and naturally there is no specially targeted conspiracy.

After all, such bizarre things as death and resurrection have happened, and some other changes are also very reasonable.

Jiang Yu didn't think so much.

When he heard His Majesty's words, he felt cold in his heart.

That frowning look, could it be that he doubted the identity of the grandson?

But Your Majesty, if you doubt now, it will be too late.

The imperial guards of the entire palace are already under the control of His Royal Highness, even Guo Ying, the former commander of the imperial guards, is now in need of an imperial physician for a long time because of the relapse of an old disease.

If His Majesty doubts the identity of the Grandson at this time, His Highness the Grandson will rebel.

In this palace, no one would dare to object.

And how will he, Jiang Yu, deal with himself?

Liu He, who was serving next to Zhu Yuanzhang, also felt guilty in his heart.

Now the relationship between Long Live Lord and Great-grandfather is so close, if it really collapses, it will really shake the government and the public.

Jiang Yu thought hard, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, and said: "Your Majesty, does it have something to do with King Zhennan? In the investigation of the situation in the Western Regions, King Zhennan should be the king of Ningmi Kingdom. After Ningmi Kingdom was destroyed Relegated to slavery, the grandson bought it."

"The ancient countries in the Western Regions each have many treasures handed down from generation to generation. I think the changes in the grandson may have a lot to do with Zhennan King."

Jiang Yu had to find a possible direction for Taisun's anomaly.

Otherwise, there will be a gap in the relationship between His Majesty and the grandson, and it will be difficult for him to be the commander of Jinyiwei.

Even if you know His Majesty didn't think about that, you still have to make excuses.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "There are indeed many mysteries in this ancient country in the Western Regions. Perhaps it is the treasure that the King of Zhennan gave to the great grandson."

Hearing these words, Jiang Yu and Liu He subconsciously looked at each other, and the two close ministers beside His Majesty finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with Jiang Yu, Liu He has more worries.

As far as the official group is concerned, this is especially true for him, the eunuch who is the supervisor of rites and seals. Before him, no one has held this position for three years.

Normally, if His Highness the Grandson hadn't appeared, it is estimated that there is a high probability that he is in bad luck now, and the grass on the grave may be three feet high.

This has nothing to do with being conscientious and conscientious. In the palace, which eunuch is not cautious, but His Majesty's temper can't be restrained.

Now Liu He has been in this position for nine years, and it is all because of his grandson that he can live until now.

"What's your grandson doing these days? There's a lot of turmoil. I heard that he went out in a dragon chariot yesterday." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Don't look at Lao Zhu's seventy years of age, his body is still strong.

I got lucky with a concubine last night, so I didn't go to Dasun's side to have a look.

After all, I am getting older and my body is not as good as before, so I wake up later in the morning.

There is an early morning court today, and Zhu Yuanzhang went directly to the court after getting up.

As for the eldest grandson, it all depends on the situation for the court meeting.

As the head of the eunuchs in the inner court, Liu He naturally knew about Zhu Ying.

Then he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that it seems that the scientific research department has developed a steam engine. The grandson was very happy about it, so he went directly to the dragon chariot, and the imperial guards cleared the way to the scientific research department. Last night until late at night I just went back to the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still lying half-lying carelessly at first, but when he heard this, he straightened up immediately.

"The steam engine that Taisun said was really built?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was very obvious.

Zhu Ying told him about the idea of ​​the steam iron-clad ship very early on.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as a military master, is very clear about the significance of steam iron armored ships.

This means that the sea will not be any hindrance to Daming.

Liu He obviously didn't expect that His Majesty's reaction would be so great, and he immediately affirmed: "It was created."

After Zhu Yuanzhang got the confirmation, he got up immediately: "Let's go to Kunning Palace, we're going to ask grandson."

In Kunning Palace.

"Father, please, teach me. I know the rules, and I promise not to pass them on to others. Please, teach me."

Xiaowen Chenglai was on Zhu Ying's lap and refused to leave no matter what.

Zhu Ying had to be taught him peerless martial arts.

Ever since he showed his hand in Xuanwu Lake that time, the little guys have been thinking about it.

However, Zhu Ying, as a father, still has great deterrent power, but Xiao Wencheng insists on pestering him because of his grandfather's pampering.

Zhu Ying was speechless.

Monk Huanhua, you little bastard, how could you say that about your father.

"Wen Cheng, my father didn't learn this. If you want to learn martial arts, go to Jiang Yu. There are so many guards in the palace, all of them are better than my father's martial arts. My father is just stronger. I don't think so." If you want to be strong, you have to eat more and grow your body, you know."

Facing her son, Zhu Ying was also speechless, she couldn't beat him for such a thing.

In fact, Zhu Ying never relents in beating her son on weekdays. Sometimes when she is messing around, it is a real beating.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to protect him several times, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't protect him all the time. If he escaped because of this, he would fight even more fiercely when the old man was away.

Later, Xiao Wencheng didn't dare to ask his great-grandfather for help. What happened to his father was really painful.

"You lied to me. I have already asked many people. The strength of my father cannot be obtained by eating at all. It must be achieved by practicing peerless martial arts."

"I went to Jiang Yu yesterday and asked him who is more powerful than his father. Jiang Yu told me that my father is the most powerful. In the whole palace, there is no one who is more powerful than my father."

Xiaowen said seriously with a pink face.

Even at this time, his hands were tightly hugging Zhu Ying's thighs, and he would not let go of them no matter what.

Zhu Ying didn't dare to break it forcefully. Children's bones are fragile, and a little bit of strength may cause fractures.

Usually when beating his son, it is impossible to use a stick, but a thin cane.

This thing hurts a lot when pumped, and it won't hurt anything. It's really the best magic weapon to teach my son a lesson.

"Just teach him how to do it. How long has this been going on?"

At this time, Ye Yueqing came out to persuade him.

Zhu Ying turned her head to look at Ye Yueqing and said with a wry smile, "Why are you booing too?"

Ye Yueqing didn't answer, but just blinked.

Zhu Ying immediately understood what Ye Yueqing meant.

Looking at Xiao Wencheng at the moment, he said, "Since you are so sincere, it's no good if you don't teach me as a father."

"But you also have to know that the law should not be passed on lightly, so you have to complete the three tests of being a father, and only a father can teach you this peerless magic."

When Xiao Wencheng heard the words, his eyes were full of crescents of laughter: "Father, tell me quickly, which three exams are they?"

Zhu Ying said: "Is this a school test? It's a children's test. You have to know that peerless magic skills are not easy to learn. Ordinary people can't learn it at all. It requires a high level of knowledge to comprehend. If you can't even pass the children's test , then naturally there is no condition for learning.”

Xiao Wencheng tilted his head, thinking about the scripts he had read.

It seems to be the case.

"Okay, then what are the second and third exams for the father?" Xiao Wencheng asked immediately.

Zhu Ying shook her head: "Those who learn martial arts, remember to set your sights high. You finish the children's test first, and then the father will naturally tell you the content of the second school test."

Xiao Wencheng had no choice but to nod: "Okay, father, let's pull the hook."

Zhu Ying stretched out her little little finger, hooking it with Xiao Wencheng.

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, you can't change it for 100 years, whoever changes it is a puppy."

Then press the thumbs together.

"stamp."

Now, Xiao Wencheng finally stopped hugging Zhu Ying's thigh forcibly.

Zhu Ying thought for a while and said, "How about this, my father will teach you a basic skill first, for those who practice martial arts, they can only practice magical skills after suffering hardships."

"From now on, you should study hard and practice hard every day. Children's examination is one aspect. You must also practice solid foundation skills. Otherwise, you will fail if you practice magic skills. "

Zhu Ying didn't expect that her own brainwashing trick would eventually be used on her own son.

At this time, Guo Zhong, who was waiting beside him, suddenly said, "Your Highness teaches magic skills, and everyone avoids them."

Zhu Ying said one thing after another, and it sounded like it was true.

Guo Zhong, who was in charge of the Kunning Palace, naturally couldn't let others listen to the grandson's miraculous skills.

Zhu Ying waved her hands indifferently: "It's okay, it's just a basic skill, it doesn't matter."

Afterwards, Zhu Ying put on a horse stance.

"Learn with me."

Xiao Wencheng imitated his father's appearance and stepped out.

Zhu Ying got up and helped Xiao Wencheng set up the shelf.

Zama step has the effect of strengthening the body, and it is also a good way of exercise.

Although Xiao Wencheng is now five years old, Zhu Ying died at the age of eight.

"Father, I can't hold on anymore."

Xiao Wencheng only took a dozen or so breaths before he felt his legs go limp, a little precarious.

Zhu Ying reprimanded: "Isn't it you who want to learn magic skills from me? You can't even get started, so what are you talking about practicing magic skills?"

"A person who learns martial arts should practice three-nine in summer and three-day periods in winter, practice one-day kungfu every day, and practice one-day emptiness every day."

"If you haven't practiced hard, how can you reach the peak? Starting today, every morning, noon, and night, you will stand up for a stick of incense. If you can't even do this, then you should give up the idea of ​​coveting your father's work as soon as possible, otherwise you will be forced to do it. If you practice, you will only hurt yourself."

Xiao Wencheng gritted his teeth and nodded: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely be able to persevere."

Seeing that Xiao Wencheng's forehead was already sweating, Zhu Ying said again: "This exercise imitates riding a horse. I will teach you a formula, so you should listen carefully."

"In the horse-riding pose, the legs are separated from the left and right, and the body sits down, just like a horse rider. The method of practice is to stand upright, face the front, and separate the legs to the left and right. Bend the knees. Standing like a horse-riding pose."

"When standing on the stilts, don't freeze your whole body. Think of yourself as if you are riding a horse. The strength of your whole body should fluctuate. You should squat up and down like a galloping horse, and you will be in the air."

"Whenever you feel a wave of heat in your body, you have reached a small achievement, and you have stepped into the threshold of learning magic skills. You can be like your father, who is not afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter."

Xiao Wencheng's eyes lit up immediately.

He knows how powerful his father is.

In the hot summer, the father's body is very comfortable and cold, but in the winter when he is shivering from the cold, the father's body is like a stove, leaning against his body to keep him warm.

What he likes most is sleeping in his father's arms in winter.

At this moment, the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard all had their ears stretched out.

They didn't have the slightest doubt about Taisun's words. Such a martial arts secret was actually stated so simply, without any concealment.

Even Ye Yueqing's eyes showed obvious surprise.

She had never seen Zhu Ying stand up and practice kung fu, but when she was in the chamber of commerce, she heard about the heroic deeds of her master's martial arts, who was the best in the world, unbeatable, and killed hundreds of people by one person.

Those rude guards in the chamber of commerce, the warriors in the desert, behaved like sheep on the grassland when they saw their boss.

It turns out that it is really magical.

At this time, in the opening outside the courtyard gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Yu who was next to him; "What the grandson said is really miraculous."

Jiang Yu's expression was serious and serious: "Taisun's miraculous skill is so extraordinary when he just started. Compared with Taisun's boxing and kicking skills, the minister's boxing and kicking skills are simply like crops. He squats up and down like a galloping horse. , Even standing in a horse stance, there is such a high level of exquisiteness."

"Your Majesty, it seems that His Highness Taisun really has a magical body protection."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He remembered when he was assassinated back then, the few moves that Dasun made, even though they were only a few short moves, they were fatal and unstoppable.

Killing a person with one knife is like chopping melons and vegetables.

Those assassins were not ordinary people, all of them had practiced martial arts and were veterans in the battlefield, but in front of the eldest grandson, they were as ridiculous as children's tricks.

Zhu Yuanzhang has practiced martial arts, but he is not proficient.

Now it seems that Dasun Wuyi has already reached its peak.

Zhu Ying has sharp eyes and ears, and the old man had already discovered it when he and others came over.

At this time, the teaching was over, and Zhu Yuanzhang came out.

Previously, he just didn't want to disturb the great elder Sun Xuewu.

Originally Zhu Yuanzhang thought that learning martial arts was useless, how can a martial artist rule the world, now listen, it is not bad for you Xiaowen Cheng to learn martial arts.

This is the great grandson's miraculous skill.

"Meet Your Majesty."

All the eunuchs and court ladies saluted, Ye Yueqing was also blessed.

"Grandpa!"

When Xiao Wencheng saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately shouted happily.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over in a few steps: "My dear, hey, look at this sweaty man, let's take a rest."

When this approached, Zhu Yuanzhang saw his great-eldest grandson's big beads of sweat rolling down, and felt distressed for a while.

Xiao Wencheng glanced at Zhu Ying, then shook his head stubbornly: "No, I want to learn magic skills from my father."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him immediately.

Zhu Ying said helplessly: "Learning martial arts is not a day's work. You are just a beginner, and you are almost done. Go to rest first. Strong training will only hurt your body. You must understand the principle of fine water flowing long and water dripping through stone."

After all, he was only a child under the age of five, so he immediately relaxed after hearing this.

As soon as the breath was released, my whole body softened.

Just when I was about to walk, my legs felt numb and unsteady.

Zhu Yuanzhang next to him had sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately hugged Xiao Wencheng.

"Look at you exhausting our great-grandson." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his grandson unkindly, with a strong complaint in his tone, even if he knew it was a good thing for Xiao Wencheng.

Naturally, Zhu Ying would not argue with the old man in this regard, and it would only be herself who suffered.

Let Ye Yueqing take Xiao Wencheng to the back hall to rest.

The maid next to him was about to take over Xiao Wencheng from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Ying glanced at him and said, "Let him go on his own. After this exercise, you need to ventilate the Qi and blood to smooth the muscles and bones, otherwise the exercise just now was in vain."

When Xiao Wencheng heard this, he immediately struggled to get out of Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.

Ye Yueqing led Xiao Wencheng to the apse.

After the little guy left.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were still a little reluctant, and when he couldn't see him at all, he remembered the business.

"We heard that the steam engine developed by Dasun is now built?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ying couldn't help showing a bit of joy on his face: "Yes, this steam engine was really built. My grandson couldn't believe it. I thought it would take three to five years. Here, Huang Zhanshi It is the first achievement."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Huang Guan's six champions really have real talents and practical learning. I didn't expect to have such talents in this aspect."

"Since the steam engine has been built, the iron-clad ship will come sooner."

Zhu Ying replied: "Sun Er has asked Huang Guan to take charge of the iron-clad ship building. It should be around March and May. The iron-clad ship should be neat and a small one can be built as a test."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even expect that this steam iron-clad ship could be built suddenly in March and May.

Immediately excitedly said: "Okay, let's wait for March and May to see if this iron-clad boat is as powerful as Dasun said."

Zhu Ying immediately said: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely not disappoint Grandpa."

The advent of the steam age, the beginning of the industrial revolution.

All kinds of ores are the most scarce raw materials.

Zhu Ying has already issued an order to the Daming Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce to start a full-scale acquisition of overseas ores.

At the same time, let Uncle Zhang spread a message, ordering that all the ores transported by the Ming merchant ships can only be sold to the imperial court.
