"Grandpa Mingjian, how could your grandson have such an idea?" Zhu Youxiao said, and he knocked his head hard, with such force that even on the blanket, there was a muffled sound.

"Looking at people as a guide, we can judge the gains and losses. From the emperor's father, the grandson seems to have seen his own future. The royal concubine Zheng is to the emperor's father, just like Xili is to the grandson. The various embarrassing situations of the emperor's father make the son and minister feel sad.

Extremely worried."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao kowtowed, and for a while, the sound of "dong dong dong" kept ringing.

"If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. The worries of your children and ministers are precisely the same as those of civil servants. Although the emperor has the Zheng family watching him, he has the self-restraint of most civil servants in the court, so he can still sustain himself."

"But as for my grandson, because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his reputation among civil servants is not very good. He has no help from the outside and there are wolves inside. I dare to ask the emperor, if there is no East Palace Sixth Rate, if the emperor is unlucky, the grandson...

"

"Why?"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao knocked down hard, and the heavy sound was like a sledgehammer hitting Wanli's heart, which made him extremely sad. What on earth have my grandson experienced in these years to have such a feeling?

Although he felt sad in his heart, Wan Li still asked cautiously: "Since you know this, why are you still so attached to martial arts instead of managing your own reputation and gaining support from civil servants?"

"My grandpa, I see it from my grandson's perspective. The struggle between the Donglin Party and the Three Parties is already in full swing, just like the fight between the Niu and Li Party in the late Tang Dynasty. This is a disaster for the country's subjugation. My grandson can't wait to pick up his sword and kill them one by one.

Kill them all and eliminate the evil atmosphere. How can you be willing to collude with them?" Zhu Youxiao's tone gradually became impassioned.

"My grandson once said when he was five years old that he wanted to be a saint king. A saint king should govern both civil and military affairs, and both civil and military strategies should not be ignored. Nowadays, the civil officials are powerful and the military officials are humble. They have gone astray. My grandson should start with military strategies.

Use force to suppress culture, use culture to control force, and achieve a balance between culture and force."

"What my grandson wishes is that the sun and moon will shine forever and that the achievements of the Ming Dynasty will be immortal. I hope that our Ming Dynasty will be as famous as the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and will be glorious throughout the ages. My grandson only wishes that the Ming Dynasty will be in my hands, prosper and expand.

The land has opened up, and the Han and Tang Dynasties are far away. My grandson only wishes that the people will be healthy and the inheritance will continue. My grandson only wishes that a hundred years from now, everyone will be wearing Chinese clothes."

When he said this, the sufferings suffered by the Chinese nation in history slowly flowed through his heart. On the tenth day of Yangzhou, there were three massacres in Jiading. A hundred years of darkness, the great powers carving up, and even the most brutal Nanjing Massacre, three

One hundred thousand Chinese people died in one day.

All kinds of tragic fate suddenly made Zhu Youxiao reveal his true feelings and burst into tears. Lifting his cheeks blurred by tears, Zhu Youxiao wept every word. While crying, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "These are all the consequences of my grandson's heart and lungs."

I dare not deceive you in any way. The sixth rate of the East Palace is actually the great cause in my grandson's heart. Asxs. I hope the emperor's grandpa will learn from it and hope that the emperor's grandpa will give him permission."

"Please restore the sixth rate of the East Palace!"

"Bang!"

Zhu Youxiao knelt down deeply again, unable to kneel for a long time. What Zhu Youxiao said were all words from the bottom of his heart, and they were all the truest thoughts in his heart. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty naturally saved the suffering of future generations. So.

He didn't hide anything, he didn't hide anything, he just told the other party straightforwardly that I want to be the emperor and then the saint king. In front of an old fox like Wanli, this is the best way, the most straightforward words to express himself.

Only by being sincere can you move the other person.

Looking at his sobbing grandson and feeling the sincerity in his words, Wanli was greatly moved. Infected by Zhu Youxiao's sad mood, Wanli also blurred his eyes. Tears appeared in his eyes drop by drop, and then slowly overflowed.

Come.

However, he did not wipe it. Instead, he stood up weakly, walked slowly to Zhu Youxiao, bent down and helped him up. "Good grandson, thank you for your hard work. Grandpa promises you."

Wan Li's face was already filled with tears, and so was Zhu Youxiao's. The two faces blurred by tears looked at each other, but they suddenly started laughing again.

it is more than words.

On May 28th in the forty-third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1615 AD), on this day, after more than 20 years of absence from the court, Wanli finally appeared in the court and summoned cabinet ministers, civil and military officials, and the prince.

, the emperor's grandson, lectured in public, saying that this matter was done by madman Zhang Cha, and the matter ended here.

One day later, Zhang Chai was executed by Lingchi. Pang Bao and other eunuchs who had been deeply implicated also died in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment without any explanation. Everything related to it was wiped out.

Another day later, an edict came, informing all the eunuch leaders inside and outside the palace. The general meaning was that in view of the omissions of the East Palace guards, evil elements with ulterior motives took advantage of the opportunity, and hereby transferred manpower from the Royal Horse Supervisor to form the East Palace Forbidden Army.

To protect the prince's safety, the twenty-four yamen must cooperate. As for the specific candidate to be in charge of training this guard, it is the grandson Zhu Youxiao, who is only ten years old.

Since this decree was a secret decree at first, and it was to adjust the twenty-four supervisors of the inner court, it was not widely known. By the time the court officials knew about it, it had already been settled and could not be argued. However, it still caused quite a stir.

.

The entire East Palace Forbidden Army has a strength of 800 people. The garrison and training place is where Zhu Youxiao is currently banned. It used to be the duty room of the Royal Horse Supervisor. It is a vast area, and Zhu Youxiao only occupies a small part of it, which can accommodate eight people.

A hundred people are more than enough. It is very close to Ciqing Palace and can be sheltered just right, so it fits the name of the East Palace Forbidden Army.

The 800-man guard was insignificant compared to the two or three troops guarding the entire palace. However, the number of imperial guards guarding Qianqing Gate still increased by about half, and the access control system at night was also stricter.

However, Zhu Youxiao had no time to pay attention to these at the moment. He was in the treasure house at the moment, selecting some useful equipment. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had internal funds, which was his own private money, and the person in charge of these internal funds was the internal funds.

Transport warehouse. The inner transport warehouse was originally the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, but later, with the evolution of the types of stored materials and time, it gradually became the private treasury of the Ming Dynasty emperor.

The items stored in the inner transport warehouse are all-encompassing and diverse, including luxury goods such as coral, jewelry, and ivory, consumables such as fruits, vegetables, and grain, and daily necessities such as charcoal and silk. The treasure house where Zhu Youxiao is now is the Ming Dynasty royal family.

The place where some extremely precious items have been stored over the years can be said to be the emperor's collection room.

Crunch!

As the eunuch in charge opened the thick iron door, Zhu Youxiao stepped into this priceless room. As soon as the door opened, there was a quiet and pleasant smell of spices. This was far beyond his expectation. According to what he said

You know, Wanli hasn't set foot in this place for almost ten years because of laziness.

The other princes and princesses, because they were not favored, had not entered. Only King Fu had entered here to select rewards in his early years when he had not yet sealed the kingdom. Zhu Youxiao also took this opportunity to ask Wanli because he had heard about this.

, go in here and pick something you can use.

Standing at the door, Zhu Youxiao looked inside. Rows of wooden shelves were displayed. Although they were numerous, they were not messy. They were neatly arranged and appeared to be extremely orderly. The wooden shelves were clean and fresh, with no dust or mildew spots. They had obviously been wiped frequently.

After cleaning, the floor was spotless, not even a single footprint.

"My dear, Sun Yan, is the treasurer here." After the old treasurer, who had almost lost a few teeth, opened the door, he said calmly to Zhu Youxiao. His attitude was casual, but

The few young eunuchs under him were extremely attentive and ran over immediately, hunched over and flattering, saying that they would introduce this place to the grandson.

"Well!" Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly and gestured for the other party to speak. He didn't care about the old eunuch's attitude. Judging from the other party's appearance, he was seventy if not eighty. He still respected the old and loved the young, even if the other party

He was a eunuch. As for himself, he was listening and wandering around here. As the little eunuch explained, he had a general understanding of this place.

The treasure house is the place where the emperor collected the emperor's private collection. When each collection is put into the warehouse, the collector, collection time, condition, type, source, handler, etc. are clearly recorded. Its management system is extremely complete and fundamentally

There is no opportunity for anyone to do anything. Therefore, the eunuchs who work here are hardworking and tired.

Those who can come here to withdraw collections are either rich or noble. These marginal eunuchs dare not offend them at all. Their income from outside is almost zero. In addition to deducting some maintenance fees, there is almost no other way for the eunuchs here to make money.

channels.

Looking at the collections one by one, it opened Zhu Youxiao's eyes. The collections here are all precious or important, such as copies of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, Wang Xizhi's manuscripts, Wu Daozi's painting books, the swords used by Yongle, etc.

.However, this just made him happy. He came here mainly to pick out some weapons and armor.

Standing in the area where weapons and armors are stored, Zhu Youxiao looked at it carefully. Almost all the things here were collected by several generations of emperors. Except for Zhengde, no one in the subsequent successors collected and stored them.

.

The weapons and armor sealed in wooden boxes are still bright and shiny even after hundreds of years, and the sharp edges are shining with a cold light that cannot be concealed. The boxes that store these things are specially made, and there is lime in the interlayer inside.

There were also some other powders with ingredients he couldn't recognize, used to keep the iron products intact.

One by one, the boxes were opened, allowing Zhu Youxiao to look at them one by one. Suddenly, he stopped in front of a square box. "Huh? What is this?" Looking at the neatly folded white clothes inside, Zhu Youxiao

asked curiously.

Upon hearing Taisun's question, Sun Yan didn't even look at the thick record book held in the little eunuch's hand. He just glanced at the items in the box and quickly replied: "Young master, this is collected by Master Zhengde."

The thing, it is written on it, is that Master Zhengde visited the world's best craftsmen, collected materials, smelted the metal, and then spent three years weaving the soft gold silk armor."

Looking at him like this, he actually knows everything here very carefully.

"Oh, really, take it out and have a look." Zhu Youxiao had heard of gold silk soft armor, but it was all in novels. Huang Rong's soft hedgehog armor was gold silk soft armor. When he saw such a piece in the treasure house,

He immediately became interested. The soft armor that could be collected by the emperor couldn't be any worse, let alone one that the emperor personally sought out craftsmen to refine.
