little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 260
There was no sound in the big tent, almost dead silent.Ma Gui's eyes were bright, but his back was quietly straightened; Xiong Tingbi panted slightly, his expression excited and urgent; Sun Chengzong's face was calm, as if he was thinking; only Ye He's eyes were cold and sharp, and he looked at Zhu Changluo without saying a word.All eyes were on the young prince in unison, because all puzzles were waiting for his answer to solve.

Zhu Changluo lowered his eyelids, the sun hit his face and was cut into fine shadows by his long eyelashes, but his voice was like water soaked in ice: "Training soldiers is like sharpening a blade. You have to practice day and night. You have to show your sharpness and cultivate the most elite state. Only when this fire is reached, once such a tiger and wolf division is released, will they win the first battle and become famous in Kyushu."

His words were calm, without the slightest impassionedness, but they fell into the ears of several people present, and everyone's heart felt as if they were hit by a hammer a few times, and the blood was like a ignited fire, rolling and turbulent uncontrollably in the chest , even a mature and prudent person like Sun Chengzong is breathing heavily, Ma Gui's eyes have been shining since that moment just now, and Xiong Tingbi, who is the most impatient, almost jumped up and said: "...What do you want this day? When will it come?"

Zhu Changluo raised his face, narrowed his eyes slightly, knocked on the table a few times with his slender white jade-like fingers, and finally stopped: "I won't wait too long, just be patient..." Here, the young prince's face flashed with determination, and his brows could not hide his arrogance and arrogance: "It will be very soon, as soon as March, and as slow as the end of the year!"

After finally getting reassurance, all the people present sizzled together, with expressions of ecstasy and anticipation on their faces, but no one noticed that Zhu Changluo's eyes and brows had such a moment of sadness after saying these words.Ye He looked at him sideways, and couldn't help feeling sore when he heard the word "soon", and then sighed inaudibly.

The tent fell into silence again, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Ma Gui suddenly stood up, and saluted Zhu Changluo: "Your Highness, please take a seat, I'm going back to the Fifth Army Camp."... Is it necessary to race against the clock?Xiong Tingbi glared at him angrily, rolled his eyes a few times, and stood up like a model: "Your Highness, I will also go back to Xiaoqi Camp."

Regarding the eagerness of the two, Zhu Changluo did not let them do so, but waved his hand: "General Ma Gui, wait a minute, I have something to say later." Hearing what the prince said, Ma Gui did not dare to neglect, but although he sat down, But Xin had already flown back to the camp, constantly thinking about how to practice better. In this moment of kung fu, he had already thought about more than a dozen battle formations and seven or eight strategies.

Zhu Changluo turned his head, his eyes as clear as autumn water fell on Xiong Tingbi's face: "Brother Xiong, I have one more thing to ask of you."

In Xiong Tingbi's heart, Zhu Changluo is no different from the gods in the sky. When he heard that the gods asked him for something, his face lit up with a sense of disbelief. .”

Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "Brother Xiong's life is so expensive, I can't bear it." Then he suppressed his smile and became serious: "Brother Xiong, have you ever met Brother Mo after returning to Beijing?"

Speaking of Mo Jiangcheng at this time?Xiong Tingbi, who was inexplicable, scratched his head: "Before I arrived at the Three Great Camps, I lived in the Mo Mansion." Zhu Changluo hummed, and Wang An, who was waiting on him, took out a rolled up paper from his sleeve and handed it over to Zhu Changluo. After reaching out to take it, he seemed to hesitate for a moment before handing it over to Xiong Tingbi. The latter looked at the scroll in his hand in a daze. The red silk was tied around his waist, and there was a red seal on the seal. He could tell at a glance that it was an imperial order.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Xiong Tingbi, who was secretly curious, was completely at a loss.

"This is the appointment document for the head of the No. [-] Division of Guangying Depository and Military Storage Warehouse of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"To Mo Jiangcheng?" After receiving Zhu Changluo's affirmative nod, Xiong Tingbi hissed softly, then raised his head in surprise, his eyes filled with surprise.

He has not been in the officialdom for a year or two, so he naturally knows that among the many institutions of the huge imperial court, apart from the cabinet that everyone looks up to, there are six high-ranking officials.Among the six ministries, Zilai respects the official ministries, and the household ministries rank second. As for all the scholars in the world, if they study hard for ten years and become a dragon, they can enter the six ministries with the effort of a lifetime. Even if the official career in this life is very smooth.

Because the Ministry of Taxation and Taxation is different from other ministries in charge of a country's money, grain, taxation and households. In addition to the minister, there are four Zhili institutions, the Banknote Lifting Department, the Banknote Printing Bureau, the Guangying Treasury, and the Military Storage Warehouse.As the name suggests, one can know that the power of these four places is far beyond that of other casual jobs.Facts have also proved that all the officials who took over these four places are the confidantes of the current emperor.Don't look at the current official rank as a sixth-rank principal, but the previous household ministers and ministers mostly came from here and there.

Xiong Tingbi sighed, what he was holding was a document, it was a letter of appointment for a future Hubu Shangshu with a bright future... Mojiang City has such a chance, and it can already be described in four words: one step to the sky!When Xiong Tingbi lamented the good fortune of Mojiang City, he was also really happy for his friend, but suddenly his heart moved, he felt strange, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong: "...Your Highness thinks highly of him, why don't you just send someone to deliver the decree? "

Zhu Changluo shook his head, his face was a little heavy: "I don't want to force him. After thinking about it, it's better to leave this matter to you."

Reluctantly, what is this?Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment. As Mo Jiangcheng's good brothers and friends, they knew each other very well.Don't look at his family's family business, but as a merchant, even if he wears gold and silver, his status is low and he has been bullied repeatedly.For Mo Jiangcheng, this appointment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to jump into the dragon's gate. It is a good thing that can't be dreamed of. Why did the prince use the word "reluctantly"?

Turning his eyes a few times, Xiong Tingbi's face became serious, and he took a step forward: "Your Highness, if you have anything, you can tell me directly."

In fact, he didn't say anything, but Zhu Changluo also wanted to say it, and he didn't shy away from Sun Chengzong and Ma Gui, so he brought Mo Jiangcheng into the palace to meet him, and it happened that he was ill. Later, after meeting Su Yingxue, Mo Jiangcheng went back with a serious illness and said it lightly. , He spoke very quickly. To put it bluntly, he briefly described the incident, and then stopped.

Ma Gui was at a loss when he heard it, and he didn't know the east, west, and north at all; Sun Chengzong was very resourceful, but to him, these matters of love and love were like blowing fire with a rolling pin, and he really didn't know anything; , but Xiong Tingbi could hear it clearly, there was a faint bitter taste in his mouth unknowingly... That pretty figure floated in front of his eyes involuntarily. It's just a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it's as refreshing as the clouds and the moon.

"Your Highness has deep intentions. Xiong Feibai thanked you in advance for my brother. I will go out to look for him tomorrow. If he still dares to be foolish, I will wake him up! A man stands in the world, and he should make meritorious deeds as the most important thing. Children love each other. , That also depends on fate, and it is useless to force." Only he knew in his heart that although he said what he said about Mo Jiangcheng, it was actually tantamount to explaining himself.

After finishing speaking, he walked out in big strides, but the pace was hurried, and it was inevitable that he was a little cramped and messy.Looking at Xiong Tingbi's back, Sun Chengzong, who seemed to understand a little bit, smiled and said: "Your Highness, whether it is Brother Xiong or Brother Mo, has repeatedly received grace, I just hope they can understand His Highness's good intentions."

Zhu Changluo shook his head, with a bitter smile: "Teacher, stop praising me. It doesn't matter what kind of person Brother Xiong is, but Mo Jiangcheng is indeed a rare talent. We can have everything we have today. He has contributed a lot. Many. What I do is to select materials for the country, and try not to let the gold go into the soil and the pearls get dusty. Even if I am not around in the future, the Ming court will have you there, so there is nothing to worry about." These words were written by I sighed in my heart, unexpectedly unknowingly told a bit of the truth.

When listening to the first few words, Sun Chengzong kept nodding his head repeatedly, deeply sympathetic, but after hearing the latter sentence, Sun Chengzong suddenly raised his head, and couldn't believe his ears, "Your Highness...why do you say such ominous words? "It was only then that I realized that I had accidentally made a slip of the tongue, and I warned myself first. When I looked up and saw Sun Chengzong's panicked face, he quickly smiled cheerfully: "I'm just kidding, teacher, don't take it seriously."

Ye He, who hadn't spoken all this time, looked up at him, with a trace of sadness and anger in his eyes, and then lowered his head.Sun Chengzong was puzzled, glanced at Zhu Changluo, and said nothing.At this time, Wang An happened to enter the account, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Industry has brought all the things over."

Zhu Changluo stood up, his eyes became eager and enthusiastic, "After so much gossip, it's finally time to get down to business."

As soon as he heard that he was going to do business, he immediately attracted the attention of several people. Zhu Changluo seemed in a very good mood, and walked out with a happy face.

A group of people came to the school grounds, and sure enough, they saw chariots and horsemen from the Ministry of Industry pouring in from the self-operated gate, each carrying a large wooden box on their shoulders, which looked very heavy, and they didn't know what was inside. What a mystery, Zhao Shizhen is constantly yelling and commanding, asking the husband to handle it with care and be careful of bumps.

Seeing the prince coming, Zhao Shizhen greeted him with a blushing face, bowed his head, and said: "The old minister's posture is blunt and can't be used. Fortunately, this time he didn't miss the prince's important business." Seeing that he was much thinner than before, Zhu Changluo was a little heartbroken, and pulled him up: "My lord worked hard and made great contributions to the court. Chang Luo remembered it in his heart."

This time Zhao Shizhen was not polite, and the two looked at each other and smiled.A group of ministers is like a thigh, and the most important thing is to know each other well. There is no need to say too much polite words, as each other knows everything, and everything is kept silent.

In fact, when he saw Zhao Shizhen, Sun Chengzong had already vaguely guessed what was here.The shadow of a famous tree, Zhao Shizhen is good at making firearms. He has heard it for a long time. Thinking of Zhu Changluo's astonishing move when he came to the camp a few days ago, Sun Chengzong's face suddenly burst into ecstasy, and his eyes began to shine: "Slightly I dare to make a guess, could it be the flintlock we mentioned last time?"

Zhu Changluo clapped his hands haha: "Sure enough, you are worthy of being a teacher. You can see the subtleties and see the subtleties."

Sun Chengzong is overjoyed!Although Zhu Changluo had shown him the power and usage of flintlock guns when he visited the camp last time, what he did not expect was to make so many guns so quickly in such a short period of time. Looking at the hundreds of large wooden boxes From this, we can see how much effort the prince has put into this aspect.

At this time, Zhao Shizhen had already ordered someone to open a box, and Sun Jizong couldn't help but hurried forward, took out a handful of gestures, the weight was not light and heavy, and he held the lacquered wooden butt in his hand, unable to tell. comfortable and natural.Compared with the arquebus he knew, the latter’s body was obviously longer. This design was more suitable for combat, with a long range and high lethality. After seeing the small special device at the trigger, Sun Chengzong couldn’t put it down. His eyes were full of undisguised fanatical love.
