The reason why Zhu Fu did this is actually very simple, that is, when Zhu Houzhao comes to Nanjing this time, it is very likely that it will involve the military. After all, military reforms have been carried out in other places this time.

This time Zhu Houzhao came to Nanjing in person, and it was impossible to do anything about this. So in order to avoid suspicion and prevent the prince from suspecting, Zhu Fu handed over the military power.

Although Zhu Houzhao understood Zhu Fu very well, he understood, and he would not let him do this.

Although the method Zhu Fu chose was very good and would not make the outside world suspicious. Even if everyone guessed what was going on, they would not think that he, the prince, was going to do anything to Zhu Fu.

By doing this, Zhu Fu will not make his subordinates suspicious. In this way, they will not have any rebellious mentality and will not make any mistakes.

However, Zhu Houzhao still needs Zhu Fu to do things for him, and it is impossible for him to avoid it like this.

Looking at Zhu Fu, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "There will be many opportunities in the future. If the Duke wants to see it, he can go to the capital to see it. The Black Dragon Guard there is much better than the one here. Then the Duke can watch it for as long as he wants.

.But now I need some help from the Duke."

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Fu's face became serious.

Since His Highness the Crown Prince said this to me, it must mean that the matter has reached a certain level of seriousness, so I can be considered to have gained His Highness the Crown Prince's trust.

Then I can no longer cheat and play tricks, otherwise it will appear that I am ignorant and incapable of doing things, which will make His Highness the Crown Prince very unhappy with me. It is not a good thing to make His Highness the Crown Prince dislike me at this time.

So Zhu Fu stood up and saluted respectfully: "Please give me your instructions, Your Highness."

Zhu Youxiao said: "I am going to Zhejiang. I will leave the affairs here to you. You can keep an eye on me. There may be trouble here in Nanjing. You can assign a team of people to Qi Huan.

Don't let anything happen to him."

"You should also know about the case of the Ministry of Revenue. These people are too courageous. I don't know how many Nanjing officials have done bad things. Once trouble occurs, it will be difficult to handle."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I understand." Zhu Fu said quickly, with the expression on his face still very serious.

Now he finally knew how serious the matter was. His Royal Highness was worried about some people in Nanjing, worried that someone in Nanjing would cause some trouble or even rebel at this time.

This is definitely not good news for Zhu Fu.

However, Zhu Fu still has some confidence, confident that he can control the situation here and will not delay His Highness the Crown Prince's affairs.

But after you return, you must make careful arrangements to ensure that no problems arise.

"I will transfer all the people from Dongchang here to you, and the people from Jinyiwei will be with Qi Huan. In addition, I will also leave some people for you, who are from Yang Lian. This time the case of the Ministry of Revenue is

I believe what they found out can give you some help." Zhu Houzhao said again.

These people were left to help him, but they were also monitoring him. Zhu Fu knew this very well, but he had long been used to this kind of thing, so he said: "I understand."

"Liu Jin, you send the Duke out." Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin who was standing not far away.

Seeing Liu Jin sending Zhu Fu out, Zhu Houzhao moved his body bones.

Speaking of which, I have really been at ease for a while. I haven't gone out for some days. This time I just want to stretch my muscles. After being idle for so long, my body is almost rusty.

Liu Jin came back soon, and there was another person behind him. It was Zhang He, the Black Dragon Guard who followed Zhu Houzhao to Nanjing this time.

After seeing Zhang He, Zhu Houzhao asked directly: "Are you almost ready?"

"Go back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, we are almost ready." Zhang He said quickly.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Then inform Yang Lian and let him take the manpower and let's set off."

Officials in Nanjing soon received the news that His Royal Highness was preparing to leave Nanjing for Zhejiang.

This news made many people breathe a sigh of relief. After all, not long after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Nanjing, something happened in the Ministry of Revenue. Who knows what other things will happen in the future?

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, I can feel a little more relaxed.

However, some people were not so happy. Obviously His Highness the Crown Prince's trip to Zhejiang this time was not just for a walk around. There must be something going on.

Officials involved with Zhejiang were all panicked.

After Zhu Houzhao left Nanjing, he rushed to Zhejiang with his Black Dragon Army and Black Dragon Guard.

As a man of two generations, this is the first time for Zhu Houzhao to come to Hangzhou.

I had heard a saying in my previous life: "There is heaven above, and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou below." However, although Zhu Houzhao wanted to go to Hangzhou in his previous life, he never had a chance. He did not expect to end up in Hangzhou in this life.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Hangzhou, no one dared to neglect him, and everyone ran out to greet him.

From the governor of Zhejiang to the magistrate of Hangzhou, all officials from the big and small yamen were present.

Everyone is very uneasy in their hearts, and things in Nanjing are naturally unsettling.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Nanjing, the news from Nanjing was noticed by all the officials in Jiangnan, and news came back basically every day.

After something happened in Nanjing, Hangzhou naturally received the news. Although I don't know what happened in Nanjing, His Royal Highness went straight from Nanjing to Hangzhou, and everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts, so

Officials at all levels in Hangzhou were very uneasy.

Standing at the front of the crowd was Zhang Xian, the governor of Zhejiang.

This is a thin man in his 50s, with a majestic face, a beard, and a very neatly groomed man. He stands there looking neat and tidy.

Looking back at the worried Zhejiang officials behind him, Zhang Xian showed no nervousness on his face.

Unlike many officials present, Zhang Xian had been in Zhejiang for only two months, and even if something happened in Zhejiang, it would basically not be implicated in him.

On the contrary, Zhang Xian welcomed the arrival of His Royal Highness in his heart.

Since arriving in Zhejiang, Zhang Xian has actually discovered that there are many problems in Zhejiang. Although he is the governor, there is nothing he can do to change them.

The whole of Zhejiang, whether it is officials, local gentry, or even the guards along the coast of Zhejiang, everything and everyone seems to be contained in an invisible ball. Only he, Zhang Xian, looks like an outsider.

people.

During this period of time in Zhejiang, these people have been trying to drag themselves down, and they have used many methods, including hard and soft tactics, money, wine and sex. It can be said that they use all kinds of methods.

If I don't agree, these people will attack me. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Zhejiang for long. The wisest thing to do is to turn a blind eye to them like the previous officials.

When I leave Zhejiang, they will give me a big gift and encourage me by the way, and then say hello, me, hello, everyone.

Zhang Xian actually had this idea in mind, but things took a turn for the better at this moment, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, and things immediately became different.

Especially when he received the news that His Highness the Crown Prince was rushing to Zhejiang, Zhang Xian knew that he could not think or act as he had before.

It is absolutely unwise to take a stand at this time. In fact, those people have been forcing themselves these days, but Zhang Xian has stood up.

Because His Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in Zhejiang soon, those people don't dare to make any trouble, so the pressure is not as great as before.

Zhang Xian knew in his heart that the prince's next visit to Zhejiang would definitely not be a peaceful one.

As Zhang Xian withdrew his gaze, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, a group of black-armored cavalry rumbled over.

Their speed is not fast, but they put a lot of pressure on people, because the movements of both humans and horses are very uniform.

It looks like the horse's hooves are lifted and dropped at the same time. The black armor gives people a very strong sense of oppression.

The horses moved forward in an orderly manner, and the men in black armor sitting on the horses were all in uniform, with masks on their faces, looking like they had stepped out of hell.

The flags on both sides fluttered in the wind, and everyone knew at a glance that this was the famous Black Dragon Army - the current bodyguard army of His Royal Highness. It had great military exploits and was said to be unbeatable at that time.

The Black Dragon Army stretches across the northwest desert. Whether it is the fierce Tatars or the arrogant Dayan Khan, all of them have been beaten by this army.

From its inception to the present, this army has never lost a battle.

As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree, let alone a mighty and majestic army?

The moment he saw this army, Zhang Xian felt that the sound behind him disappeared instantly, but it soon started ringing again.

Zhang Xian even heard the sound of someone's teeth chattering, but he didn't look back because he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

When the cavalry approached Zhang Xian, they divided into two columns and slowly stepped aside.

Behind the cavalry, there is also a group of black-armored cavalry, but unlike the cavalry in front, these black-armored cavalry wear black cloaks and look more fierce, and their masks are all black.

Zhang Xian was an official in the capital before, and he knew about this army. It was the Black Dragon Guard, the personal bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince.

It is said that the best among the Black Dragon Army are selected, and only those who have killed at least 10 people on the battlefield can be selected.

It can be said that this is a group of killing gods. The fittest survive and the number of these people has been maintained at 3,000. It can be said that they are the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xian looked at them approaching, feeling a little excited and at the same time, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

These people really don't look like human beings.

When the Black Dragon Guard also separated, a man dressed differently finally appeared. He was in silver armor with a bright red cloak behind him. He sat on a horse majestically and walked out from the crowd.

When everyone saw this person, they knew that this person was His Highness the Crown Prince.

So the officials, big and small, quickly knelt down and paid homage.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the kneeling Zhejiang civil and military officials with no expression on his face.

Zhu Houzhao decided not to comment on his slutty outfit. Anyway, if these outfits were on the battlefield, he would definitely be the target of public criticism, and all the bows and arrows would be shot at him.

After getting off his horse, Zhu Houzhao came to the Zhejiang officials under the escort of the Black Dragon Guards, and then said: "Everyone is exempt from the courtesy."

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of support, and then waited until everyone stood up before speaking: "Before I left the capital, my father had an explanation and I was not allowed to disturb the place. So you all go back. If

If I want to see anyone, I will send someone to find him."

With that said, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Xian who was standing in front of him, and then said: "Let them all go back and perform their duties. Don't let anything change because of my arrival. If anything happens to Hangzhou, it is

It’s my fault.”
