7-5 Whip Door

7-6 Believe it or not, I will kill your whole family

There was a lot of fun in the imperial garden, but there were strict guards outside the Qianqing Gate. Sixteen imperial guards guarded the palace gate and strictly prohibited anyone from entering or exiting. Qian Qianyi and Hou Xun were so anxious that they came to complain. The old minister's face was humiliated by Liu Ziguang. , the handsome face of the Number One Scholar was also slapped. Facing the scoundrel and shameless Marquis Zhenwu, the old man could only file a complaint. However, after waiting for a long time, he did not see the emperor summoning him. He heard from the guards that His Majesty and Marquis Zhenwu were here. There are important military and state affairs being discussed and no one is allowed to interrupt.

The two veterans didn't believe that Zhu Youxiaohui was discussing anything serious with Liu Ziguang, because they had already heard the roar of machines coming from the Qianqing Gate. Yes, Liu Ziguang was accompanying the little emperor to play with the newly developed off-road vehicle at this time. Well, the off-road vehicle with high chassis, four-wheel drive, simple and durable structure is an improved version of the Fenghuo four-wheel vehicle. It is the product after removing all the decorations. It has a frame welded with hollow iron pipes and iron sheets, and four inflated rubber wheels. , an improved engine that burns purified fire oil, two seats covered with rattan mats in the front, and a small cargo hold in the back, which can hold four soldiers or 500 kilograms of cargo. The courtyard of the Qianqing Palace was made of loess and sandstone. On the rugged mountainous terrain, the little emperor drove the car and Liu Ziguang sat in the passenger seat. The two of them were having a great time.

Originally, Liu Ziguang came to the palace to talk to the emperor about the marriage of the eldest princess, but when he met the enthusiastic Zhu Youxiao, he invited him to try out a new car together, and the topic was delayed. This off-road vehicle was used by Zhu Youxiao to help the Ming army. The designed military light assault vehicle is suitable for use in the plains and Gobi. It can be used when fighting Xixia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future. In order to design this prototype vehicle, Zhu Youxiao put a lot of thought into it. In recent times, the government has been It was left to Wei Zhongxian and the cabinet.

Two people were testing the car in the palace. Qian Qianyi and Hou Xunke outside the palace gate turned their noses angry. Everyone knew that Zhu Youxiao liked these cunning and cunning things, but it would be a bit too much to not meet the courtiers just for fun. Well, Qian Qianyi relied on his respectable status and insisted on breaking in. The guards of Qianqing Gate were not Liu Ziguang's direct red shirts, but were born as generals of the Han Dynasty. Despite their tall stature and seemingly reckless appearance, they actually knew in their hearts. Very, everything can be offended and no one can be offended. This Mr. Qian Ge belongs to the series of people who cannot be offended.

The Qianqing Gate was smashed open by Qian Qianyi with a wat board. The sixteen guards did not stop the two old men. After the two rushed in, they all shook their heads and sighed in pain when they saw that the perfectly good Qianqing Palace had been reduced to this state. Seeing Liu Ziguang sitting in the co-pilot's seat, his anger finally found an outlet. The Minister of Rites launched a full-scale martial arts act on the spot, intending to eliminate traitors for the country and kill Liu Ziguang, the traitorous minister who had brought evil to the little emperor.

This is a bit exaggerated. Zhu Youxiao has been fond of playing with high-tech gadgets since he was a child. Liu Ziguang only played a role in fueling the flames. Why was he guilty? Hou Xun could not reprimand the emperor in person, so he had to operate on Liu Ziguang. Anyway, he used to As a direct minister, he is not afraid of offending the powerful. Of course, a bad old man in his fifties or sixties cannot defeat Liu Ziguang. His hands were grabbed by Liu Ziguang and he could not move. Liu Ziguang suppressed the fire and did not fight back. Otherwise, ten Hou Xun would have died eight hundred times. Zhu Youxiao couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade him: "Why is Hou Shangshu clinging to Marquis Zhenwu? I made this off-road vehicle and has nothing to do with Liu Qing. If you have any problem, just blame me." bring it on."

After hearing this, Hou Xun became even more angry. He shook his head and lamented: "You lose your ambition by playing with things, you lose your ambition by playing with things. The world that the Dukes of Donglin finally regained from the traitors for the emperor will fall into the hands of the sycophants again..."

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Qian Qianyi also came up and said bitterly: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. You must not indulge in sensuality. Mr. Liu, as an important minister, you should advise your Majesty more and not to follow this nonsense."

."

Although Zhu Youxiao is pro-government, he is still a seventeen-year-old boy after all. The two adults Hou still respect Qian who is old enough to be his father. When they heard what they said, they suddenly felt that he was guilty and had not become an emperor at all.

His appearance failed everyone's hopes. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao blushed.

But Liu Ziguang didn't think so. He couldn't help but retorted: "My lords, what you said is wrong. The emperor has personally practiced it. How can he say that developing four-wheeled vehicles for the Forbidden Army is just a sensual thing? This is working for the country and the country.

For the sake of thinking, it’s fine if you don’t help, how can you frame the emperor and me?”

"You!" Hou Xun glared at Liu Ziguang fiercely and said angrily: "You are such a sharp-tongued Marquis of Zhenwu, so you not only have no fault, but also have merit? This Qianqing Palace is where the Ming Emperor handles government affairs.

This place is not a place for you to play in the mud. Playing with some tin shells is just a matter of working for the country? You, sycophant, sycophant! The emperor has ignored government affairs for several months because he was deceived by you!"

Liu Ziguang was also anxious and said loudly: "This is the chariot used by the Forbidden Army in the Gobi Desert. It is not an iron shell. The emperor is considerate of the soldiers and develops chariots day and night, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will shed less blood and win more battles. Such diligence

Emperor, you are still not satisfied, what do you want? Is it true that asking the emperor to follow your example and soak in a boat on the Qinhuai River at night and feed wine to girls mouth to mouth means working for the country? "

Hou Xun's old face turned red and he was speechless. Like father, like son. Hou Fangyu likes to hang out in Huajie and Liuxiang, and half of it is influenced by his father. Nanchang Fanzi monitors Liu Ziguang's political opponents. Hou Xun was still in Qinhuai last night.

He was drinking with prostitutes on the river. He was drunk and ugly. He thought it was a private club. Unexpectedly, Liu Ziguang found out about it. Now he had no place to show his shame. But the old guy was an old guy and he recovered in a few seconds.

He hummed and wanted to refute Liu Ziguang, but the emperor over there spoke:

"I am indeed developing combat vehicles for the Ministry of War. If you are here just to stop me, then you have made the wrong idea." Zhu Youxiao originally felt a little ashamed, as if a child had not finished his homework and was discovered by an adult.

Listening to Liu Ziguang's eloquent words, Zhu Youxiao immediately felt that he was great and correct, and he trusted Liu Ziguang more who helped him at the critical moment. You said that they are all ministers of the same palace, how can there be such a difference between their words?

Well, each of these old men is more suspicious than the other (which means annoying in Nanjing dialect). Why is Liu Ziguang so sensible and considerate in his words?

Zhu Youxiao's tough answer surprised Qian Qianyi and Hou Xun, but it is unwise to continue to dwell on this issue now. Important things have not been done yet. Qian Qianyi winked at Hou Xun, who immediately

He lifted his robe and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I want to sue Zhen Wuhou for committing murder and beating someone."

Zhu Youxiao asked curiously: "It was clearly you who beat Marquis Zhenwu just now, why are you falsely accusing him of beating someone now?"

Hou Xun said: "It's not what happened just now. Recently, Jian Nei and Quan Zi went to the palace to enjoy the flowers under the orders of Nangong Taifei Yi. They didn't want to meet the horse team of Zhen Wu Hou at the intersection. The child stepped forward with great respect and asked the Marquis to go first. Who knows?

He actually whipped people and beat my son's face with blood. This kind of bullying behavior really shows that he doesn't take the minister seriously, doesn't take the "Da Ming Law" in his eyes, and doesn't take the emperor's concubine seriously.

In the eyes…”

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a little friction? No one was killed. I think it's okay. I'll let Zhenwu Marquis pay for some medical expenses and let this matter be over. What a big deal, it's such a trivial matter.

"Complain to the imperial court, I think you are too busy to panic." Zhu Youxiao interrupted Hou Xun and said, obviously he didn't care about Liu Ziguang's beating.

This farce made Zhu Youxiao lose all interest in playing off-road vehicles. He went back to the palace angrily. Liu Ziguang watched the emperor leave and turned to Hou Xun, "Where is your son? I am going to compensate him."

No."

Liu Ziguang's sudden change of attitude surprised Qian Qianyi and Hou Xun. Hou Xun said: "Since the emperor has decreed that the Marquis of Zhenwu should pay for some of the medical expenses, then we have no choice but to obey the decree. My son will accompany the imperial concubine."

The eldest princess and the others have gone to enjoy the flowers and will come out soon. If the Marquis has any apology, he can say it in this palace."

Liu Ziguang knew that Hou Xun was afraid that he would beat Hou Fangyu again after leaving the palace, so he insisted on making an apology inside the palace. Naturally, he didn't care and agreed without thinking. Qian Qianyi felt that this kind of situation inside the palace

There was no chance of any trouble, and I didn't want to get too involved in the conflict between Hou and Liu, so I left first.

Liu Ziguang and Hou Xun stood at the gate of the palace, waiting for Hou Fangyu and the others. They didn't say anything, and just waited. Not long after, the flower appreciation party in the imperial garden broke up. Hou Fangyu and Mrs. Hou received many rewards. After several

He came out accompanied by the eunuch, but Mrs. Qian was left talking by her cousin Song Taifei and did not come out with her.

Seeing Liu Ziguang who was whipping him with a smile on his face and standing with his father, Hou Fangyu was shocked, but he quickly calmed down. This was the inner courtyard of the palace after all, and there were so many eunuchs following him. Liu Ziguang would not dare to do anything no matter how arrogant he was.

Yes, Mrs. Hou was also frightened when she saw Liu Ziguang, the devil, and held her son's sleeve tightly and did not dare to let go.

Seeing the two of them coming out, Liu Ziguang went up to him with a smile and said, "Madam Hou, number one scholar, have you finished appreciating the flowers?"

Hou Fangyu was so heartbroken by his laughter that he didn't dare to answer. He just nodded slightly, and Liu Ziguang continued: "Did you see the eldest princess? What's your impression of your highness?"

Before Hou Fangyu could speak, Mrs. Hou spoke first: "Empress Nangong, Her Majesty the Queen, and Her Royal Highness the Princess all appreciate my son very much, so I won't bother you." After saying that, he looked at Liu Ziguang coldly, raised his chin, and said,

An expression that says you can do anything to us.

"Huh, appreciation? I didn't expect Mr. Hou to be so popular. It seems that I hit him too lightly with the whip. If I had whipped him a few more times, maybe the consort would have rewarded you on the spot." Liu Ziguang hugged his arms and sneered.

He said, with no intention of apologising.

Thinking that the eunuchs behind him were all around the Crown Princess, Hou Fangyu suddenly became bolder. He took two steps forward slightly, looked down at Liu Ziguang from a height of 182, and said softly in a tone that was deliberately meant to provoke him:

"I'm really determined to be this consort. It won't be long before Zhu Cheng'er will be the one in my bed."

He spoke very softly, so that only Liu Ziguang could hear him, in order to force Liu Ziguang to lose his composure in public. Sure enough, Liu Ziguang's anger was suddenly aroused, but he did not hit anyone, he just nodded and talked to himself.

Said: "Very good."

Then Liu Ziguang raised his head and looked at Hou Fangyu. Hou Fangyu's temper also rose, and he looked at Liu Ziguang proudly without showing any weakness.

"Do you believe that I will kill your whole family?" Liu Ziguang suddenly said.
