The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 20: Submit your pledge of allegiance and charge forward with me!
As soon as the words fell, the courtyard fell into complete silence.

Everyone looked at each other, all with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Who would dare to confront Zhu Ju about this kind of thing?
He is a prince, and even if he exposes the truth, at most he will be punished by His Majesty.

But if these servants follow along, and His Majesty gets angry, they will definitely not have a good ending!
You might even lose your head!

"I know you have concerns."

Zhu Ju was not surprised by their performance and said in a deep voice,

"You are afraid that His Majesty will investigate and punish you severely, or even chop off your heads!"

"I can assure you that if His Majesty investigates, I will bear the responsibility alone. It has nothing to do with you!"

"Even if he wants to punish you, I will definitely do my best to protect you! I will never let your lives be in danger!"

After hearing these words, several people in the crowd showed signs of interest.

But more people are still hesitant.

"This is a chance I'm giving you. A chance to turn in your loyalty!"

Zhu Ju said loudly,
"There are so many of you. I will select some of you to be my confidants."

"Anyone who dares to go with me today, I recognize him as a man! I will accept his pledge of allegiance! From now on, he will be my key promotion target. In the future, he will follow me and enjoy a higher status and more rights!"

"This is the only chance, and it's for tough guys!"

"Whoever dares to go with me to smash what the Second Prince has, stand up!"

The eunuchs: "!!!"

Swish!

All of a sudden, five eunuchs stood up, all of them young men.

They knelt on the ground and said in unison:
"I am willing to follow your Highness!"

As soon as they stepped out, there was a commotion among the crowd.

Everyone knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get promoted!

The risk is indeed great, but as long as you can get through it, you will be a trusted subordinate of His Majesty the Sixth Prince in the future!
Just by looking at the staffing specifications of the Sixth Prince, one can tell that the Sixth Prince is extremely favored by His Majesty and the Queen. Otherwise, a prince who has not yet been crowned king would not be able to have the same configuration as the Crown Prince!

Hand over this letter of surrender, and you will have a bright future. A bright future!

Swish!

Swish swish!
In an instant, more and more people came out, including a few maids!

"No, women are going too?"

An elderly eunuch was dumbfounded and muttered.

"Why can't women go? Since His Highness has summoned us, it means we have a chance too!"

A maid retorted,

"There is strength in numbers! As long as Your Highness needs me, I will go!"

Swish!
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped out decisively and won several cheers!
"Well done!"

"Women don't give way to men!"

Zhu Ju also gave a thumbs up and asked:
"Well said! Who says women are inferior to men? If you are willing to sacrifice your life, you can dethrone the emperor!"

"What's your name?"

Pfft!
The palace maid knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Highness, my name is Jianqi, and I used to work in the Needlework Bureau."

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up.

"Jianqi...what a sharp name, not bad."

He praised,

"I remember you."

Looking away from Jian Qi, Zhu Ju saw that dozens of people had already stood up. He decisively waved his hand and shouted:

"That's enough! That's enough! If you're still hesitating, don't step forward! I have a limited number of spots!"

"To those who have already come forward, I congratulate you. With this step, you have created a bright and smooth path for yourselves! I promise that you will definitely be the best among the eunuchs and palace maids in the future!"

After hearing these words, everyone in the queue became extremely excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

Those who were still hesitating just now all showed regret at this moment, wishing they could slap themselves twice. Why did they become cowardly at the critical moment?
Zhu Ju looked at the people in the courtyard, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

No matter where you are, promising big things is the most effective means of motivation!

Look at them one by one. If we ask them to charge into battle now, they might even dare to rush forward!

"Jianqi, count how many people have stood up."

Zhu Ju ordered.

Jianqi nodded and turned to count the heads. In just a moment, she finished the count and turned back to report:

"Your Highness, there are fifty-one people in total."

"Among them, there are forty-four eunuchs and seven palace maids!"

Zhu Ju nodded slightly.

"How many people usually serve in a prince's residence?" he asked.

Fifty-one people, this number is almost the same as a reinforced platoon, and most of them are young eunuchs, so their combat effectiveness should be considerable.

However, only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. To be on the safe side, he needs to know how many troops Zhu Chong has under his command.

"Your Highness, apart from the Crown Prince and you, there are only about ten people serving the other princes."

Jianqi replied,
"I come from the Needlework Bureau. I know how much clothing each prince needs to buy every year."

"The Second Prince's office has no more than fifteen people."

Hearing this number, Zhu Ju couldn't help but smile.

Fifty to fifteen, a crushing victory, the advantage is on my side!

"Grab your weapons. Anything that's handy, even tables, chairs, or benches will do."

Zhu Ju ordered,
"When we get to Zhu Chong, we'll either beat him up or smash him!"

"Since I'm in the right, let's make a scene and see who dares to cause trouble for me again!"

"go!"

Swish swish!
Zhu Ju's reinforced platoon of soldiers scattered in all directions, you looked for sticks and I looked for shovels.

Tables, chairs, benches, farm tools and tableware, anything that was handy, were all taken away!
After a while, everyone picked up their weapons and rubbed their hands ready to fight.

Jianqi handed over a fire stick and said:

"Your Highness, this is the firewood stick from the small stove. It's made of iron and will be easy for you to hold."

Zhu Ju took the fire poker and immediately smiled.

"Hey, it's pretty heavy. It's definitely fun to smash this thing!"

He praised,

"Not bad, not bad, well done."

"Don't hesitate, just follow me!"

"rush!"

After saying that, he led the charge!
Judging from the situation today, someone must have reported it. He has to do everything he wants to do before Lao Zhu arrives!

Otherwise, when the Imperial Guards take action, the reinforced platoon in his hands will become a piece of cake!
"rush!!!"

Fifty or so people roared and rushed towards Zhu Chong's second prince under the leadership of Zhu Ju!

In a flash, only about sixty people were left in the courtyard...

"what should we do?"

"I do not know!"

"Oh my god, this is definitely the most horrifying scene I have ever seen since I entered the palace! The Sixth Prince, is he the reincarnation of the devil?! How dare he!"

“This is crazy, this is crazy…”

Everyone stood where they were, the shock in their hearts taking a long time to dissipate.

In a corner where no one cared, the unlucky child tied to the tree had his eyes rolled back and fainted...

ps: The crown prince lives in the palace, and the other princes live in "the residence".
