Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

At the Steam Engine Research Institute, Lao Zhu followed several craftsmen to inquire about the function of this object, and also asked about the difficulty and cost of the manufacturing process of this object.

When he heard that such an iron bump had thrown in 30 taels of silver, Lao Zhu looked at everyone with red eyes.

There is only one thought in his mind, do these craftsmen think that his grandson is easy to deceive because of his young age?
30 taels of silver, not to mention making an iron lump, is more than enough to make a silver lump!
"Is there an account for all expenses?"

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's question, Ma Bo hurriedly stepped forward and answered.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the research and development expenses invested can be found in the accounts, and the production of various parts and components is huge."

"But this is the research stage. Everything starts from scratch, so it's normal to spend more. After this thing becomes popular and mass-produced, its cost will naturally come down."

"oh oh……"

When Lao Zhu heard the words, he was skeptical, but when he thought that he was Dasun's subordinate, he couldn't do it for him, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart.

If it was an official under him, he would have ordered Jin Yiwei to search their house to see if there was any corruption or other acts.

Old Zhu grabbed Ma Bo and asked around for a while, seeing that Erhu had already arrested "Nisun" and brought him to justice, so he threw down the steam engine and escorted Nisun back to the palace.

When the emperor's dragon passed by a crossroad, there were two people standing in a guest room on the second floor.

One of them had a sallow complexion and gray hair, dressed like an old woman.But his voice was clear and sweet, which was extremely inconsistent with his revealed age.

The other person is wearing a blouse, a square scarf on his head, a sword hanging from his waist, and a folding fan in his hand.

This person is none other than the most wanted criminal in the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Ming Wang Han Qing.

"Uncle, it's not that my niece doesn't do her best. It's because the Third Emperor and Zhu Tuhu bring a large number of guards with them every time they go out. They are so tightly guarded that there is no chance to attack them!"

Han Qing also had a headache looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's guards. There were pioneers in front, guards on the left and right to cover, and a large number of knights accompanying them.

Under such circumstances, even if the assassination is successful by luck, the assassin cannot escape the fate of being hunted down.

"Uncle blamed you wrong!"

"By the way, how is your contact with Zhu Yunqi going?"

"Reporting to uncle, my niece has already gained Zhu Yunzheng's trust, but Zhu Yunzheng is hardly a big deal. He just died of a concubine and fell ill..."

Han Qing smiled slightly when he heard the words.

"It's hard to make a big deal!"

"If he is really as wise and powerful as the third emperor's grandson, I would not dare to cooperate with him."

"Continue to contact Zhu Yunqi and make him work for me as soon as possible!"

"Even if you can't assassinate Zhu Tuhu, you can still learn about the Ming court's movement through Zhu Yunqi, so you can deal with the court's encirclement and suppression in advance!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the emperor's car driving away, Han Qing separated from Han Yushang and went straight to report to the Imperial College.

Although he was secretly engaged in anti-Ming activities, but on the bright side he was a serious scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and was recommended by the local officials to enter the Imperial College because of his excellent grades.

Of course, it is indispensable to use money to open the way here.

After Han Yushang separated from Han Qing, he also returned to his secret stronghold in the capital, an inconspicuous tea stand not far from the shop.

The reason why she was so careful was because she was worried about Zhu Yunqi, fearing that Zhu Yunqi would have a tail behind her and implicate her.

As soon as Han Yushang returned to the tea stall, he saw a carriage passing by his stall.

When Han Yushang saw the ornamentation of this carriage, he was overjoyed.

Because this is the carriage of the Prince's Mansion.

The grandson of the Three Emperors never took the carriage of the Prince's Mansion when he went out, only Zhu Yunqi would ride in it!
As usual, Han Yushang looked behind the carriage and saw that no one was following him, so he changed into clean clothes and went to the joint shop.

Seeing Han Yushang appearing, Zhu Yunwen roared in a low voice.

"why!"

"On the way back, you have plenty of opportunities.
What is going to bring him back safely!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunqi still had the face to criticize himself, Han Yushang felt a little angry.

This person is too clueless, if there is a chance, can he let it go?
"Second Emperor's grandson calm down, it's not that my cousin doesn't want to kill him, it's because there are too many guards around him, there is no chance to attack him at all!"

Zhu Yunqi also knew that his accusation was unreasonable, but now he was holding back his anger, and if he didn't vent his anger on others, he would be blown up.

"What do you do next?"

Han Yushang said without thinking.

"Stay in the capital and listen to the news of the court!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled helplessly when he heard the words.

"Do you think you are alone?"

"However, now that Zhu Yunxi has been conferred the title of grandson of the emperor, it won't take long for Gu to resign, and he may never have the chance to return to Beijing for the rest of his life..."

When Han Yushang heard Zhu Yunwen say this, he also showed a tangled look on his face.
If it's about assassinating someone, she still has a way.

But when it comes to tactics, it's not what she's good at.

"Third emperor's grandson, your mother and concubine trusted a person very much during her lifetime. If you really don't know how to stay in Beijing, you might as well ask him."

"Who?"

"Wen Dian serves Zhang Zongjun!"

"When the princess was alive, she had to discuss with this person every time she encountered a major event."

"Alone remember!"

After Zhu Yunwen said this, he randomly pulled out a few books from the shelf, went to the counter downstairs to check out and left.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Yunxuan absently flipped through the ones he bought from the store, thinking about what Han Yushang said, he hesitated again.

He didn't have the slightest impression of Zhang Zongjun, and he had never heard his concubine mother mention it before, and now he is asked to ask someone for advice, he has no idea.

However, Zhu Yunqi struggled again and again, and finally put down his book, adjusted his clothes and went to the Wendian.

After the Palace of Literature was bestowed upon Zhu Yunxi by the old Zhu, the personnel in it hardly changed, and generally maintained the same positions as those in Zhu Biao's period.

There is only one exception, and that is Zhang Zongjun.

Inexplicably, he lost his status as a servant, and he was only left with the orthographic official position of Cong Jiupin of the Department of Economics and Economics.

Although the official position of a servant is not high, and it is not even a serious official position, it is just a saying.

But the reputation is good, and there is face when you say it.

It's not as heavy as the Bureau of Economics and Economics. Every day is not correcting the manuscript, but doing some mounting work.

When Zhu Yunwen came to find Zhang Zongjun, Zhang Zongjun was mounting the scattered pages of classics with his hands full of paste. Not only did he not have the demeanor of a celebrity, he looked like a craftsman from a distance.

Zhu Yunqi has been standing behind Zhang Zongjun for a long time, watching him concentrate on framing, he can't help but doubt, this person can really give him advice?
Zhu Yunqi struggled again for a while, until Zhang Zongjun noticed someone behind him and looked back deliberately, Zhu Yunqi then bowed to Zhang Zongjun.

"Mr. Zhang, please teach me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zongjun felt his brain was struck by lightning.

When he was helping the Crown Princess with affairs before, although the Crown Princess refused to let go of power, at least she was careful, why did she come to find herself so recklessly?
This Zhu Yunqi is so ignorant, he came here in such a hurry, do you think he has a long life?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zongjun inevitably felt a little resentful, and immediately pretended to be stupid and said in a daze.

"Second emperor's grandson is serious. I am just a lowly official of the Economic and Economic Bureau. How can I teach you?"

"If you really have doubts about learning, you can ask Fang Xiaoru. This person is recognized by the Palace of Literature as a talented person. His knowledge is not inferior to Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and even surpasses it."

When Zhu Yunqi heard this, his face showed disappointment, he turned around and left.

Zhang Zongjun saw Zhu Yunqi's lack of a city, couldn't help but sneered at his back.

At that time, I also lost my mind and thought that this son was expected to inherit the throne. I was really blind!
After sending Zhu Yunwen away, Zhang Zongjun hummed a ditty in front of the paper poster, having a great time.

Although I have no chance to follow the Dragon Kungfu,

But at any rate, he still survived, which is considered a fluke!
Not long after Zhu Yunqi left, Erhu received a secret performance from Jin Yiwei.

"Master Tiger, the brothers have been watching secretly according to your instructions, and now they find something wrong."

"The second emperor's grandson went to a store just when he was in good health. He had been to this store before, and he seemed to have met someone in it."

"Do you want to take this shop with your subordinates?"

After the two tigers dealt with the Lu family, they have been using the Lu family's line to track down the White Lotus Sect, and have never paid attention to Zhu Yunqi.

On the one hand, it was due to his negligence, and on the other hand, it was due to Zhu Yunqi's special status. Without the emperor's order, Jin Yiwei could not rush to investigate.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunxuan suddenly jumped out, saying that he would lead troops to support Datong and help Datong's mansion to eliminate the cold and epidemic, that the two tigers realized that something was wrong.

In terms of Zhu Yunqi's abilities, he probably doesn't have the guts, let alone the ability.

He jumped out suddenly, he must have been instigated or instigated by others.

Based on this, Er Hu secretly arranged a group of people to monitor Zhu Yunqi at the risk of being punished by the emperor.

But he has been very careful, for fear of being noticed.It belongs to the kind of surveillance that would rather be lost than startle the snake.

Because secretly investigating the emperor's grandson is a felony, if he fails, his tiger's head could be chopped off by Lao Zhu.

Once the emperor thinks that he has ulterior motives to alienate the Tian family's flesh and blood, it would be considered kindness not to kill him all over the house.

"Don't act rashly for now, just keep staring."

"If some people cannot be crucified at once, we will suffer backlash!"

"promise!"

After sending away Jinyiwei's spies, Erhu took out two balls of cotton from his sleeves, plugged his ears, and stood at the gate of Qianqing Palace again.

Old Zhu in Qianqing Palace was teaching the emperor grandson a lesson. According to what the emperor grandson committed this time, it is estimated that he will not be beaten lightly, so it is better to take precautions in advance.

"Ni Sun, give us an explanation, why did you let that woman go?"

"Grandpa Huang, this is what my grandson promised her before. She told me the truth, and I will let her leave the Jingxin Nunnery!"

When Lao Zhu heard Dasun's words, he looked at Dasun suspiciously.

"It's that simple?"

Zhu Yunxi said with a puzzled face.

"if not?"

"Do you think that grandson has a crush on Concubine Li and wants to elope with Concubine Li?"

Old Zhu glared at Dasun displeased.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"We are just afraid that you are young and will be used by people with ulterior motives."

"Where did Concubine Li's bastard go now?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said.

"I do not know!"

"The grandson gave her a blank road guide, plus 100 taels of gold and 100 taels of silver, and threw her at the intersection, and asked her to hire a carriage to leave..."

Zhu Yunxi deliberately kept an eye out, and didn't mention the matter of the dock, for fear that Lao Zhu would secretly send someone to chase after him to silence him.

Lao Zhu really thought so, thinking of sending someone to deal with Concubine Li secretly.

Concubine Li has been in the palace for too long and knows a lot of secrets in the palace. If she is allowed to go out and talk nonsense, will the Ming Royal family lose face?
However, no matter how big the matter with Concubine Li is, it is still a small matter. What Lao Zhu cares more about is that Da Sun has been slacking off recently and wants to wind him up.

"Leave Concubine Li aside, tell us, why didn't you go up to the court and listen to the government just after you were canonized as the emperor's grandson?"

Zhu Yunxi murmured when he heard the words.

"It's boring..."

"Too boring, too boring, too general..."

"Is this still vague?"

Lao Zhu felt aggrieved when he thought that he had to deal with hundreds of things every day, and Ni Sun would say something vague.

"You are the grandson of the emperor now, so we can't beat you all the time. We will punish you to read the memorials, and read all the memorials that we have reviewed these days!"

As Lao Zhu said, he pointed at Zhu Yunxi's small table and scolded.

"Go over there and kneel down and watch!"

"oh oh……"

Zhu Yunxi crawled to the edge of his small table, and saw that it had been piled up

The thick pile of memorials are still copied by Yu, so it is known that the old man has premeditated.

However, he did find it quite boring, and he had no desire to watch it at all.

Zhu Yunxi looked at it for a while, but felt that his eyelids were clenched, and he really wanted to lie down on the table and sleep.

However, just when Zhu Yunxi was in a daze, he suddenly heard the voice of "Aw" from behind him, which scared him soberly.

"Kneel up straight!"

"Let's do random checks at night, if you can't answer, let's see how we punish you!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he could only cheer up and read the lengthy memorial word by word.

Although he used to watch it often, but it was all carefully selected by Lao Zhu, and he was allowed to watch and learn from those he thought were valuable.

Now he is looking at everything in detail, the thick stack of memorials is full of all kinds of trivial matters.

"Shao Yongshan, minister of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, gave a performance. Two round nails are missing on the Zhengyang Gate. I am afraid that I will insult the state, so I want to repair it..."

"His Majesty Zhang Zhiqi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, next year will be the year of the Grand Competition. At that time, it is better to purchase the paper for the exam papers in advance..."

"Chendu Procuratorate supervises the censor Zhang Heng, and impeaches the servant of the Ministry of Rites Qi Tai. He is not doing his job properly. He privately publishes and sells current literature, which is an insult to the dignity of the court..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at these bullshit, trivial matters, and felt that his brain was about to explode.

This is the daily life of the emperor?
The emperor takes care of these trivial matters every day?
Why did Daming keep so many officials for food?
Seeing that his grandson began to read the memorial seriously, Lao Zhu yawned secretly, then tiptoed back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

To be honest, he gets sleepy every morning...

Zhu Yunxi saw that there was no movement behind him for a long time, not even turning over, so he deliberately knocked down a copy immediately, and then took a sneak look at Grandpa Huang's dragon chair by picking it up.

Seeing that there was no one on the dragon chair, Zhu Yunxi stretched out comfortably, then put a stack of memorials on the ground, lay on Daming's "Jiangshan Sheji" and fell asleep.

Seeing the emperor's grandson working so hard, Qin Deshun thoughtfully covered him with a blanket.

Zhu Yunxi thanked her and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he saw a person standing in front of him, a person with a braid in his hand.

Seeing that Dasun had finally woken up, Lao Zhu flicked his whip viciously.

"Did you get enough sleep?"

"Sleep again if you haven't slept enough?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the crisp sound of the whip, his body trembled subconsciously, and then he pulled out a carp and stood up.

After Zhu Yunxi stood up, he was completely dazed, and his mind was full of the movement of the squid just now.

Chang Sheng taught him this move for several days before, but he didn't understand it, but he didn't realize that he just subconsciously did it after being whipped.

Seeing Dasun's flexibility, Lao Zhu felt a burst of pride in his heart.

At least at Zhu Yunxi's age, he doesn't have such agility.

But if you are satisfied, you are satisfied, you should be scared or you have to be scared.

"Seeing that you slept so peacefully, you must have memorized all the memorials?"

"Come on, let's test you..."

"What did the head of the criminal department, Guo Yanli, say?"

Zhu Yunxi fell asleep after reading only a few pages, how could he know what the head of the Criminal Department said?
But he didn't dare to say that he didn't watch it, so he could only bite the bullet and make it up.

"The head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said...that the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has been in disrepair for a long time, and asked the court to allocate money to repair it..."

After hearing this, Lao Zhu was noncommittal, picked up a memorial again and asked.

"What did the chief envoy of Fujian say?"

Zhu Yunxi almost collapsed when he heard this question, he really didn't know!
"Say... that you want to pay tribute to Grandpa Huang?"

Lao Zhu looked at the nonsense grandson, and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, he pointed to the stool next to him angrily.

"Get on the ground!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he felt his scalp go numb.

"Grandpa Huang, didn't we agree, I'm already the grandson of the emperor, so you won't beat me..."

Old Zhu stared at Longyan when he heard this.

"Even if you become the emperor, we are also your grandfather!"

"Hurry up and lie down on us, don't let us say it a second time!"

Seeing that there was really no way to hide, Zhu Yunxi could only bite the bullet and move over, and then lay down on the stool as if resigned to his fate.

Seeing that Ni Sun was lying down, Lao Zhu picked up his whip and beat him without saying a word. He hit Ni Sun with dozens of whips one after another, and beat Ni Sun to the point of crying.

"Do you know why we beat you?"

"Know!"

"Because I didn't read the memorial seriously, woo woo woo..."

"Fart your grandma!"

"We made it up to fool us because you obviously didn't watch it!"

"If you told us directly, you wouldn't have watched it at all, and we wouldn't be so arrogant!"

Zhu Yunxi also felt aggrieved when he heard this, that crap is all bullshit, it has no value at all!
"The grandson is not convinced!"

Seeing that Ni Sun had been beaten like this, Lao Zhu even dared to talk back to him, and immediately became furious.

However, thinking that I just finished beating this grandson and now my shoulders are tired, I gave him a chance to speak.

"Do you still dare to refuse?"

"Tell me, if you are unreasonable, you have an iron ass, and we will beat you to death today!"

Zhu Yunxi propped himself up and turned around, looking at Lao Zhu with grief and indignation on his face.

"Grandpa Huang, you don't know how to be an emperor at all!"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu frowned subconsciously, and looked at Zhu Yunxi with an unkind expression.

"Zhu Yunxi!"

"Today you have to make it clear to us why we won't be emperors anymore!"
