At this point in the development of the Royal Horse Prison, it has become a behemoth. It not only has military power, but also financial power. It earns hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. Among the entire twenty-four prisons, only the Secretary of Ceremony can overpower the Royal Horse Prison.

One head.

In the imperial city, there is a fodder farm for the Supervisor of Ceremonies, called the Li Forage Farm. A large number of horses and other livestock are raised here. The Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion are stationed in turn, responsible for guarding the palace and raising horses.

However, the selection competition was not held here, but in the inner school field. There were complete equipment and venues there. As soon as they arrived at the Royal Horse Supervisor Hall, eunuchs brought docile royal horses.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry." After the eunuch knelt down and kowtowed, he hugged Zhu Youxiao and got on his horse, and then the group of people rode towards the inner school grounds. Compared with other eunuchs, the eunuchs of the Royal Horse Eunuch generally looked more elegant.

Much more majestic.

The same was true for the eunuch who took Zhu Youxiao on horseback. He had a strong physique and superb horse control skills. Except for some ups and downs, he could not feel any bumps.

"What's your name?" Feeling this unusual riding skill, Zhu Youxiao became a little interested in this eunuch.

"The villain Zhou Quan is the Royal Horse Supervisor and manages the affairs of the grassland farm." Zhou Quan replied respectfully, not looking down upon Zhu Youxiao at all because of his young age.

"Yeah." Zhu Youxiao agreed lightly, then ignored it, and turned to look at the surrounding scenery. The imperial city was too big, so he just took a cursory look at the Twenty-Fourth Prison, and did not take a closer look at other places.

Now take a good look. Zhou Quan, the eunuch who was hugging Zhu Youxiao, saw that His Highness Taisun was no longer interested in him, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

Along the way, there are pavilions, pavilions and Taoist temples everywhere. It is summer at this time, and the green imperial city can be said to be filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers. The crisp sounds of birdsong and the distant and elegant fragrance of flowers make Zhu

Youxiao's mood became inexplicably cheerful.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at the inner school field. The inner school field is located to the north of Taiye Pond, and to the southwest is the famous Leopard Room.

At this time, the inner school field was already overcrowded. In addition to the palm eunuchs and supervising eunuchs, the following supervisors, chiefs, officials, and the commanders of the four guards of the Warrior Battalion were all here. Compared to the meager captain of the Warrior Battalion,

There are much more generals on the Fourth Guards Camp. After all, there are four guard posts below the Fourth Guards Camp, Tengxiang's left and right guards and Wuxiang's left and right guards.

At this time, these eunuchs and generals were all standing around a small stage, which was the seat prepared for Zhu Youxiao. Wearing nondescript training clothes, Zhu Youxiao came to his seat and sat down. Then

, it was the palm print eunuch who announced that this year’s selection competition has begun.

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the elite flag soldiers of the Fourth Guards Battalion lined up one after another and began an intense competition to select the vanguard. This solemn and tense atmosphere reminded Zhu Youxiao of the atmosphere in the unit when the selection began in his previous life. The same

Sober and solemn.

With a hopeful heart, Zhu Youxiao began to watch carefully. However, reality poured cold water on him, and the competition did not turn out what he wanted.

It's not that the selection of forwards isn't exciting, or that these people don't have real qualities, but what they know is not suitable for Zhu Youxiao.

After all, this is just a trial for elite soldiers, and only those who can fight against ten people are selected, not the enemy who can fight against a hundred people he wants. Judging from his current physical fitness, fighting against a hundred people is the best choice.

To be honest, apart from making his physical fitness different from ordinary people since childhood, the only benefits brought by this time travel are the information that came with him. Excluding these two points, he has not changed much and has not become more insightful.

The human heart has no photographic memory, and the IQ has not improved several levels. In political struggles, it is still no match for those old foxes.

Everything proves that he is still an ordinary person. He does not stand out because of time travel.

If you can't make up for your IQ with muscles, if you can't beat those old foxes, just kill those old foxes. This is also the simple stage of the guiding ideology that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. It just so happens that he will be the emperor in the future, and he is better at ruling under strong authority.

of.

After all, that's what prison guards do, using the power of the state to control prisoners.

If you want to maintain the emperor's power, force is indispensable, whether it is military force or personal force. Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to find a few masters from the Royal Horse Supervisor to teach him, but it turned out that the kung fu here was not enough.

It suits him.

After all, he had been in the army for two years, and he still had good eyesight. At most, there were some basic skills. His fighting skills were not much different. At most, the difference was in the use of cold weapons.

"General?!" In a daze, a word he had read in a novel floated through his mind.

"I was really stupid. I thought this was the Celestial Empire. How could a technology like this, which can seal a wife's wife and son's fortune, be everywhere? Someone must have monopolized it and kept it secret." Zhu Youxiao slapped his forehead with his small hand,

I looked like I was really stupid, and my whole body felt weak for a moment.

The battle selection competition is in full swing. Every soldier who is qualified to participate has tried his best. The benefits of entering the two battalions are obvious. Not to mention the higher salary, just staying in the guard for a long time, what kind of encounter

The noble man's opportunity drives everyone crazy.

For example, the emperor's grandson watched the competition today!

However, to the disappointment of countless warriors, everyone's highly anticipated eyes were not focused on it. At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already fallen into deep annoyance, and he once again brought the thinking of the Celestial Dynasty here.

The big eunuchs next to them also looked at each other a little bit, wondering what happened to this young master. Weren't they quite happy to see him at first?

"Go back to Ciqing Palace!" Zhu Youxiao's feeble voice reminded him just as he was holding the eunuch's hand and supervising the eunuch's guesses.

Being listless, he was still sent back by the eunuch Zhou Quan. This time he was sent a little further, all the way to Donghua Gate. He couldn't go inside anymore. Horseback riding was not allowed in the Forbidden City.

"Young master, do you want to learn martial arts?" Before leaving, Zhou Quan asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao raised his head in surprise and looked at the relatively strong eunuch in front of him with interest. Someone who can come to the palace and achieve the position of admiral will naturally not be too bad in appearance. Zhou

The same goes for Quan, who seems to have a vigorous temperament.

If Li Jinzhong said this, he would naturally not be surprised, but a eunuch who had just interacted with him once figured out his own thoughts. Is the other party too clever or is he too incompetent?

"Of course!" Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly and answered. Then he looked at the other party expectantly, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

"Why don't I go and ask for help from Long Live Lord? Long live Lord is rich all over the world and the world is in submission. It would be easy to find a martial arts instructor for me." Zhou Quan indeed gave an answer, an answer that Zhu Youxiao was extremely familiar with.

"I'm so stupid!" After hearing this answer, Zhu Youxiao's face collapsed. He always felt that he was so stupid. He didn't use such a big backer and only thought about discovering everything by himself.

"You are now the third generation of the emperor. You are no longer the otaku loser you were before. If you have a backer, you need to use it." Zhu Youxiao muttered silently in his heart. Only at this moment did he feel that he still had not integrated into the identity of the emperor's grandson and entered this era.

.In his heart, he still regarded himself as the little prison guard in later generations, relying on his own ability to establish prestige and manage his group of people well.

"You are very good." After coming back to his senses, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction: "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Zhou Quan respectfully watched the emperor's grandson go away. Zhou Quan was filled with joy and surprise. The joy was that he had climbed into the emperor's grandson's path, which would be the golden opportunity for the future. What was surprising was that the grandson was so precocious and organized that he was generally a five-year-old child.

, how could I know so much and speak so clearly.

"He is indeed a born saint!" After sighing with emotion, he turned and left, heading back to the Royal Horse Prison Hall.

"You cheap maid, don't think that you can do anything just by giving birth to a son. My son is the great-grandson of His Majesty. He will be the emperor in the future. I will also be the queen mother in the future. You will be the one to look after me when the time comes."

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, his mother Wang Cairen's high-pitched voice came out from the palace. Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Youxiao knew what was going on without having to guess.

The prince's father must have gone out for something, but the cheap mother took the opportunity to find her way back.

"Hmph, why are you so arrogant? I'm pregnant too. Judging from the pointed belly, it's definitely a son. When His Highness ascends the throne, it's not certain who will be the crown prince." Seeing the proud Wang Cairen, Xili looked confused.

Disdainful, just relying on this stupid woman to make money with her.

Xi Li's words immediately touched a sensitive point in Wang's heart, causing her to panic. Although she had only selected poems for one term, she had gained some knowledge after so many years in the palace. Concubine Zheng relied on Wanli's favor.

She had seen every one of the bullying of the prince over the years. Even the cabinet ministers who were extraordinary in her eyes were helpless against this woman. She was extremely envious of that scenery.

Xi Li's words immediately reminded her of the future. If her father-in-law Wanli dies and her husband ascends the throne, Xi Li will become a Zheng Guifei again because of her favor.

Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart: "You..."

Mrs. Wang was not a flexible person. She was so panicked that she even had no idea. She didn't know how to refute. She could only point at Xili and kept saying "you" in her mouth, her fair face filled with emotion.

bright red.

"Hahaha!!!" Seeing Wang Cairen like this, Xili laughed wildly. The sound was a bit like an owl in the night sky, which was a bit harsh.

"You two sisters, please stop arguing and leave me alone." The Crown Princess walked in dressed in plain white, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

Next to her was a weak woman with a big belly, but slightly smaller than Xili's. This was Lady Liu, whom everyone was not familiar with, but her son was very famous, and he was the son of the Ming Dynasty.

The last emperor, Chongzhen.
