Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 449 A belated reward

"You kid, you are so brave!"

Zhu Yuanzhang held the grenade and his eyes widened.

Zhu Di had already reported what the grenade was to him in his reply.

According to the rules of the Forbidden City, throwing weapons with huge lethality are strictly prohibited from being brought into the palace privately like Su Jing.

Especially when you have to meet the saint.

That is to say, Su Jing bullies others because they don't know what a grenade is.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The main reason for the grassroots is to see your Majesty as soon as possible."

Su Jing replied, without Liu Banxian, his posture became much more relaxed.

The relationship between him and Lao Zhu is actually quite subtle.

If he was really respectful at all times, Zhu Yuanzhang would feel disgusted.

"Forget it, we won't argue with you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite impressive, and his eyes fell on the grenade again.

If this were placed on other people, it would definitely be a serious crime. When it comes to Su Jing, it is just a matter of words.

Lao Zhu quickly unscrewed the cover at the back and saw the exposed leads.

He weighed the weight carefully again, and the joy on his face never disappeared.

"Su Jing, you kid has been able to make grenades for a long time, right? Why haven't I seen you do it before?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Su Jing, with obvious complaints in his words.

What’s the point of not having such a good thing come out earlier?

Su Jing replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan must have mentioned the shortcomings of this grenade in his letter. It's not that the common people are unwilling, but it's not perfect and it's really difficult to take it out."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Su Jing, what's wrong with it not being perfect? ​​If there's something wrong, it's not your problem. As long as the former army uses it properly, it's fine."

"Besides, no matter how many shortcomings this thing has, it is still an excellent firearm."

"Don't hide it. Now that the Firearms Bureau has been established, you can go over there when the time comes and come up with all the wonderful ideas in your head."

"You don't have to worry about whether it works or not, just get it out."

Lao Zhu's nature as a pragmatist has never changed.

No matter how many shortcomings Su Jing's grenade has, it can't cover up its advantages.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Su Jing nodded and said: "It's just that your Majesty has to give me more time. After all, if I really live in the capital for a long time, I will have to move."

"What's so difficult about moving? Let's ask Mu Ying to lead the troops to help you move. It will take at least a few days to move them all for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with great confidence.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, you really can't let others do this. Your Majesty must also know that ordinary people like to make some inventions and creations. In fact, there are many dangerous things like grenades in the house."

"Some of them are not firearms, but are highly toxic or corrosive. Only the civilians know how to move them safely. We really can't do it to others. I hope your Majesty will understand."

Su Jing's remarks are not nonsense.

There are really many weird things in his house.

Even when Zhu Di led people to search, he was extremely careful and did not harm any bottles and jars.

But if Su Jing doesn't do it herself, the accident will be hard to predict.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused after hearing this and said: "What you said makes sense. Since the Northern Expedition has been a great victory, we won't rush you. Please take care of your own affairs first."

Lao Zhu has already read the detailed battle report as to how useful the things made by Su Jing are on the battlefield.

This is why he must ask Su Jing to come up with more things as soon as possible.

But now that the Northern Expedition has just ended, everything is not so anxious, and a new large-scale war will not start so quickly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Su Jing bowed and thanked.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Su Jing, we promised you, but you can't fool us. It will take at most ten days and a half to move. If it takes a year and a half, we will not agree."

What Lao Zhu said was obviously very guarded by Su Jing.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty said this, am I, Su Jing, the person who does this kind of thing? I will definitely move as soon as possible, but ten days and a half month is still a bit short. How about three months as many as your Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Su Jing and said, "Su Jing, we were right about you. It's impossible for you to move in three months. It will take a month at most. If you can't finish the move, I'll find someone to help you move it."

Lao Zhu directly set the time limit, and Su Jing had no choice.

The journey from Lishui County to the capital is actually not that long. If we really have to move, it will only take a few days at most.

It's just that Su Jing really doesn't want to move.

"The grassroots people know that they will definitely move it within a month."

Su Jing reluctantly agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing's appearance and said happily: "Su Jing, don't look downcast. We have prepared your house for you. When the time comes to move, you can just move into the new house."

New house?
Su Jing was stunned and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, isn't this new house the Su Mansion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Of course not, that mansion is too small, which is where you came here for temporary residence. When you really move here, you will definitely need to change to a bigger mansion."

Small?
Su Jing frowned and carefully recalled the Su Mansion where she lived. It was not small!
There must be a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, totaling over a thousand square meters.

I am alone, living in such a courtyard is still very big.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding? If I move, why should I buy a yard?"

Su Jing asked with some disbelief.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Su Jing, we are the emperor, have you ever heard the words "Jun Wu Xiyan"? If we say it is purchased, then it must be purchased, but don't think too much, this house itself is a reward for you. "

"Reward?"

Su Jing was stunned again and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, when will there be another reward? It can't be the reward from Uncle Renyuan. It's been so long. If you don't do it, you can't do it."

When it comes to houses in the capital, they are definitely not cheap.

Su Jing also understood that the yard given by Lao Zhu must be excellent in all aspects, and it was probably impossible to buy it with money.

But on the one hand, Su Jing didn't have many requirements for living. At the same time, he also understood that the more he accepted, the more Lao Zhu would ask for.

Since I am not short of money, it would be better to suffer less.

Too much kindness from a king can easily lead to jealousy. Su Jing still remembers Zhu Liangzu's incident.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Su Jing, you are overthinking. This reward is specifically for your contribution to the Northern Expedition. The two princes were very impressed by your telescope and many firearms. It’s just a house, you can live in it well.”

The merits of the Northern Expedition!

Su Jing didn't expect that she could be related to this achievement.

"Your Majesty is serious. This Northern Expedition, even without the help of me, Su Jing, can still be a complete victory. I have already told your Majesty this, right?"

Su Jing said immediately.Before the Northern Expedition, Lao Zhu indeed went to Su Jing to predict the outcome of the Northern Expedition.

Su Jing said at that time that he would definitely win.

"You, you, why don't you want anything we want to give you? Su Jing, do you look down on us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing, his expression was not very good.

He is a dignified emperor, and he rewards his subjects with something. How can he refuse it?
Su Jing immediately said: "Your Majesty is joking, but the common people don't dare. It's just that the common people feel that what they have done is really not worthy of such a reward, so they refuse."

"Mr. Su is joking. If Mr. Su can't accept this credit, then no one in this Ming Dynasty can."

Queen Ma's voice came, and she slowly came to Su Jing, her face full of relief.

Su Jing was safe and sound, which was the happiest thing for her.

"Grassman Su Jing meets the Queen."

Su Jing immediately saluted Queen Ma.

Empress Ma directly pulled Su Jing up and said, "Mr. Su, get up quickly. You have just arrived in the capital and have been tired all the way. There is no need to salute like this."

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern."

Su Jing said: "The grass people had a good rest last night, and there is nothing serious now."

"Sister, why are you here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

Empress Ma said: "Mr. Su is already here. Your Majesty, you didn't even know to inform me. I only found out after I inquired. It's really too much."

Lao Zhu hurriedly explained: "We asked the people below to arrange Su Jing's entry into the palace. It is indeed our negligence. Sister, don't blame me. Su Jing is here now."

Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Lao Zhu, but with Su Jing beside her, she didn't say much.

"Mr. Su, please accept this new house. It will be considered a place to stay in the capital in the future."

Queen Ma held Su Jing's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.

Su Jing nodded helplessly and said: "Since the Queen has spoken, Su Jing has no choice but to obey."

Empress Ma immediately showed a happy look on her face and said: "It would be best if Mr. Su thinks so. Later I will ask Mr. Su to take him to see the house. By the way, I can tell you all the utensils that need to be purchased. I will Someone will be sent to purchase it.”

Lao Zhu gave him a house, and Queen Ma bought the furniture for him.

This care is really too great.

"Empress Ma is so caring, and it's hard for Su Jing to repay her."

Su Jing said to Queen Ma, to whom he could not even refuse.

This is simply good and there is no way to refuse it.

Empress Ma smiled and said: "Mr. Su taught all the princes and made many achievements for the Ming Dynasty. This is just a trivial matter. How dare you ask Mr. Su for anything in return?"

"Mr. Su is happy and comfortable living in the capital. This is what I want to see."

Empress Ma's series of compliments made Su Jing a little overwhelmed. If she continued to listen to this, she might become distracted.

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern."

Su Jing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are many people who are familiar with Cao Min who are coming with Cao Min. If nothing happens, Cao Min will step down first to appease them."

"Most of them don't know why they came to the capital, and they are inevitably confused."

There are still some ways to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang and Su Jing, but there is really nothing that Su Jing can do about this Queen Ma.

Sincere people don't play tricks.

"Okay, then you go ahead. Remember not to reveal too much. These people have to stay in the capital for a while."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and let Su Jing go.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Su Jing saluted, she left Fengxian Hall directly.

Outside the hall, as soon as Su Jing came out, Liu Banxian immediately came up to her and said, "Master Su, you finally came out."

"Du Rui...what's going on?"

Su Jing just wanted to call Liu Banxian's real name, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Liu Banxian immediately said: "Master Su, you should call me Liu Banxian. I just figured it out by myself outside. Anyway, I have changed my name for so many years, there is no need to change it back."

"Oh?"

Su Jing looked at Liu Banxian and said with a smile: "Liu Banxian, why did you come up with such an idea? I remember you said that when you regain your real name, you will let me see how old Master Du's name is. awesome."

Before meeting Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Banxian seemed to be quite obsessed with restoring his name.

But now, it is completely gone.

Liu Banxian laughed at himself: "Master Su, please stop teasing me. After so many years, how many people can still remember me? In the end, I am just a fortune teller. Compared with those truly powerful people, what am I Liu Banxian?" None of it counts.”

Zhu Yuanzhang did not recognize himself, which directly made Liu Banxian realize the reality.

In this world, he is just a very ordinary being, unable to make it to the stage.

Both Liu Banxian and Master Du spent their entire lives like this.

Su Jing nodded and said: "It seems that you have figured it out. Yes, yes. In fact, everyone is the same. Just look away."

"No, Mr. Su, you and I are different."

Liu Banxian immediately said: "You will definitely stay in the history books in the future."

Su Jing looked at Liu Banxian, shook her head and said: "It's not so easy to keep history books. You think too much. We should leave."

"Okay, Mr. Su."

Liu Banxian did not bother with Su Jing about any issues left in the history books, and left the palace happily with Su Jing.

In Fengxian Hall at this moment.

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a solemn expression and said, "How are you, Chongba? Has the murderer of Mr. Su been found?"

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "This kid Su Jing has been found out by himself, but he doesn't want to say it. We didn't force him to let him stay in the capital."

"Don't want to say?"

Queen Ma was a little strange and asked, "What about the investigation? Chongba, you can find something, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "We won't pursue it anymore. Su Jing said that he has to do this by himself. If we intervene now, we will be able to scare the snake away."

"He also told us that if he can catch a big disaster for Ming Dynasty in the future, we will naturally agree to him."

No investigation?
do it yourself?
Big disaster?
Lao Zhu really didn't hide these words from Queen Ma at all, he said them all.

Queen Ma's brows furrowed and then relaxed: "Since it's Mr. Su's word, then we can just believe it. Chongba, don't say one thing and have another in your hands."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, don't worry about this, we still believe in Su Jing."
