The eldest prince returned to Beijing in triumph, but the welcoming ceremony this time was a bit extraordinary. Normally, everything should be kept simple during the funeral of the old queen mother. However, Emperor Chengwu ordered two important ministers, Pan Zigang, the Minister of Personnel, and Feng Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, to
On behalf of the emperor, he led officials from the capital to the city to greet him.
As soon as this order was issued, everyone including Zhu Tian from the capital followed him out of the city. Even though he did not have an official position, he had an official rank and still enjoyed the court salary. Of course, Zhu Daguan would not go to welcome the eldest prince when he was full.
His contribution is much higher than that of the eldest prince. Zhu Tianjiang saved the entire Dafeng Dynasty, but the eldest prince was just lucky.
A group of officials from the capital lined up for several miles. This scene was rare in the Dafeng Dynasty. Not only did the six ministers leave the city gate, but three princes also followed the six ministers.
Among the three princes, the second prince Xuan Can was the most excited. In the battle of the capital a few months ago, Emperor Chengwu almost sent him into the cold palace. As a result, the fourth prince Xuan Zhu and the third prince Xuan Le came to the limelight. Later, he
Under the guidance of his mother, the second prince Xuan Can took the initiative to show his kindness to the eldest prince, and gradually formed an alliance.
The eldest prince also looked away. His father gave him military power, which was equivalent to depriving him of the right to fight for the throne. Emperor Chengwu did this to let the eldest prince use the military power in his hands to assist one of his younger brothers to ascend to the throne. The three younger brothers
Among them, the fourth child is definitely not in Xuan Ming's eyes. In his opinion, the fourth child Xuanzhu is a fool. He probably fell on his face when he was born. The third child Xuanle feels too yin, so the eldest prince only
Can choose ###Xuancan.
A formation was set up outside the capital to welcome them, and an official came to Pan Zigang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, with a list of names, "Report to your lord, among all the officials in the capital, except for the old master Fu Wang, only the master Zhu Tianjiang has not reported illness."
turn up."
Panzi just nodded and picked up a pen to sign his name on the register. Prince Jing did not have to show up on this occasion. The old master Wang Bingkun and Panzi just had a master-disciple relationship, so they could just take a leave of absence. As for Zhu Daguan,
In their minds, it has become a shame for officials, so it would be better not to come. This will save the boy from drinking and drinking, carrying a whip and shouting every day.
Of course, when many of the officials saw this formation and thought about what Zhu Daguan had done last time, they couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Zhu Tianjiang.
The second prince curled his lips and took two steps forward, "Master Pan, I think that for an official like Zhu Tianjiang, the staff should write to the emperor to cut off his official rank. Otherwise, all our Dafeng officials will be like him.
, How can that be decent?" The second prince held his hands behind his back, looking quite majestic as a prince.
Pan Zigang looked embarrassed. He would not engage in such an offending business. Even though Zhu Tianjiang did not have an official position, Prince Jing and the Guo family had close contacts with him, and a bad family could turn around.
"Your Highness, although Zhu Tianjiang is naughty, he has made great contributions to me after all. Your Majesty did not cut off his official rank because of his merits." Pan Zigang said with two dry laughs.
The second prince snorted coldly and looked at the fourth prince Xuanzhu, "Fourth brother, when you have time, please advise Zhu Tianjiang not to do those embarrassing things. This will bring disgrace to the entire official's face."
The fourth prince looked unfazed by honor and disgrace, nodded and said, "Second Emperor Brother, Fourth Brother must bring the message to you."
When the second prince Xuan Can saw that the fourth child was so obedient, he nodded with satisfaction. The third prince saw it and sneered in his heart. This ###'s behavior was too reckless and was no longer on the same level as the fourth child. Let
What Xuan Le found strange was that the fourth prince Xuan Zhu indeed seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did he become calm, but he also showed a rather scheming side.
While the officials were waiting to welcome the triumphant eldest prince and his entourage, Zhu Daguanren was conducting experiments on hidden weapons in the backyard of the 'commune'.
Last time, Zhu Er asked a few skilled craftsmen to finally create his design. Zhu Tianjiang carefully put the gunpowder in, and used the scientific principles of his previous life to prepare it for one-stop molding today. Otherwise, he would be in trouble in his stomach.
There was really nothing he could do with that thing. After several experiments, Zhu Tianjiang finally nodded with satisfaction.
This thing is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers, with tiny steel needles mixed in the middle. These steel needles are contaminated with different poisons. Once it explodes, anyone who is hit by the steel needle will suffer. Zhu Tianliang classified different types,
Some of them contain anesthesia needles. After being injected, you will have difficulty moving within a short period of time. This is for the purpose of capturing them alive. The most vicious one is contaminated with the mixed poison of five-step snake and crane crown red.
The poison will kill you within a few breaths after the injection.
Zhu Tianjiang wiped his sweat and looked at the results of the explosion with satisfaction. Some live chickens and ducks hanging on the branches were all dead. Not only that, an old cow tied under the tree did not escape the fate of death.
.
"Chang Wu, order people to bury all these animals and the cow. Use magnets to suck out the poisonous needles scattered nearby, and don't let anyone prick them accidentally." Zhu Tianjiang gave the order.
Chang Wu knew how powerful it was, and quickly ordered people to do it carefully. These poisonous needles were very difficult to make, and it took Zhu Tianjiang more than a month of tempering to make such a small thing.
The manufacturing cost of these hidden weapons was too high. After Zhu Tianjiang removed the experimental products, he was left with less than twenty thunderbolts in total. He gave Guo Ying and Yu Gege two anesthetic thunderbolts each to prevent any accidents in the future.
"I said you two have also seen the power just now. Don't do anything nonsense. Especially Yu'er, if you blow up Prince Jing, the old guy can bite me to death." Zhu Tianjiang is still worried.
gave a warning.
"I know~ It's so long-winded." Yu'er glared coquettishly and carefully wrapped it in white silk.
Guo Ying is so simple, she just stuffs it into the purse on her waist and looks like she is ready to use it anytime and anywhere.
The remaining ones were packed carefully by Zhu Daguan in a special bellyband. From then on, Daniel had another task. In addition to holding the king's whip, he also had to carefully hang the bellyband.
Zhu Yi walked over quickly from the front yard, "Sir, we have a visitor."
"Are there any guests?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at Zhu Yi doubtfully. On this day, most of the officials went out of the city to greet the eldest prince. Could it be Prince Jing?
"Sir, you would never have guessed who it is. It is the old lady Bo Wang, the supervisor of the Imperial Academy." Zhu Yi said with a sigh.
Zhu Tianjiang was stunned. Taifu Wang had never visited his door before. What was even more strange was that the old guy didn't go out of the city to meet the eldest prince. Zhu Tianjiang couldn't help but admire that this old guy was still a bit proud.
Ever since Taifu Wang showed his unyielding character in the battle of the capital, Zhu Tianjiang also changed his original view of this old scholar.
Zhu Tianjiang let Yu Gege and Guo Ying drive his Ferrari in the backyard to entertain themselves, and he and Zhu Yi hurried to the front yard.
In the living room, Mrs. Wang sat straight and majestic, as if this was his school.
Zhu Tianjiang walked in a few steps, clasped his fists and said, "I didn't know that the old master was coming. It's a sin for the students to miss the welcome."
Mrs. Wang didn't even stand. She looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a serious face and said, "The emperor has issued an imperial edict. Why don't you go to welcome the return of the eldest prince Xuan Ming?"
Zhu Tianjiang laughed and said, "Sir, I am already notorious now, so let's not cause trouble with others." Zhu Tianjiang said, turned to Zhu Yi and said, "Exchange for a pot of good tea that I made by myself.
Let the boss taste it."
Zhu Yi agreed and left the hall. Zhu Tianjiang smiled slightly and said, "Sir, why didn't you go to greet the triumphant army today?"
Taifu Wang snorted coldly, "Zhu Tianjiang, although I am pedantic, I am not confused. I remember last time before the court, you said that the Dafeng Dynasty wanted to be governed by civilized people and Wu An. Now our Dafeng Dynasty has no shortage of literati to govern it.
The world is in desperate need of generals who can stabilize the world."
When Taifu Wang said this, he paused slightly. Zhu Tianjiang rolled his eyes a few times and said awkwardly, "Sir, this matter seems to have nothing to do with me, right? Tianjiang is now an idle worker who is full and waiting to die. If
If Sir, you are talking about government affairs, then you are in the wrong place. Of course, there are many strange things in my commune, why don't I take Sir around the commune."
Zhu Tianjiang does not want to get involved in the political affairs of the DPRK at all. What he wants to do now is to slowly accumulate energy. When he is able to compete with Emperor Chengwu one day, he will designate an area to be the head of his own 'special zone'.
Taifu Wang seemed not to have heard what Zhu Tianjiang said, and continued, "I have served two generations of emperors, and I think I can bring peace to the world with my wealth of knowledge. But it was only after the last battle in the capital that I completely changed my view of military attaches.
Feng Chao has the Dangyun Kingdom in the south and the Tianqing Army in the north. If there is not a tiger and wolf army to guard it, there is no hope of settling down. However, I, Dafeng, cannot find such a capable person. You say, this is
Not very sad."
"Hey, who says there isn't? There's General Guo in the south. There's General Wen guarding the north. How can we say it's not stable? Besides, General Chu Yun in the capital is also a famous general, and with the triumphant eldest prince now,
We are full of talented people in Dafeng.”
Old Mrs. Wang shook his head, "Although I have never led a soldier, I don't have sand in my eyes. Among these people, except Guo Tianxin, who is still a figure, the others are just a bunch of shit."
Zhu Tianjiang couldn't help but laugh. Taifu Wang was always talking about the sages and sages, but today he actually started scolding people too.
"You kid, don't laugh. Emperor Chengwu is a fan of the authorities, but I am a bystander. If I, Dafeng, don't stand up with someone who can really hold back the battle, my country will be destroyed sooner or later." The old man said extremely seriously.
It was probably the first time in his life that he said such an outrageous thing.
"Sir, what do you mean by this? I'm a little bit confused by this junior." Zhu Tianjiang could only pretend to be confused, saying in his heart that Taifu Wang knew what he was doing, but Emperor Chengwu was still confused.
"I have no other reason to come today. I just want to say hello to Mr. Zhu. I don't care how you pretend to be crazy, but you must come out and regain military power. I have no other request. I just want to see me before I die.
Dafeng's real elite teacher. I am also about to die, and I am not afraid of offending the imperial power. If the eldest prince's return to Beijing today hadn't touched me, I would have really wanted to wait. But this time the eldest prince returns, it is very likely that
To create the illusion of victory in the army, I decided that I can’t wait any longer. Otherwise, there will be great danger!”
Zhu Tianjiang said with a bitter face, "Sir, you look down too much on the juniors. The juniors don't have that ability at all. I beg you to show your kindness and stop tormenting me."
Taifu Wang looked at Zhu Tianjiang and suddenly laughed a few times strangely, "Since the words are not speculative, well, I'll take my leave." Taifu Wang stood up and left.
"Hey~hey~ Sir, you haven't drank the tea I made yet~!"
Even though Zhu Tianjiang couldn't stop him, the old lady was as stubborn as a donkey and went out, got on the official sedan and left the "People's Commune" where Zhu Daguan lived.
Zhu Tianjiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that the old man had good intentions and was indeed working wholeheartedly for the Dafeng Dynasty. It seemed that it was not unreasonable for the two emperors to reuse such an old rotten man. At least he was not corrupt or taking advantage of him.
Zhu Tianjiang returned to his mansion, but Mrs. Wang did not go back to his mansion, but went directly to the palace.
At this time, the eldest prince and others had already entered the city, and a large group of people arrived outside the imperial palace. Emperor Chengwu and Prince Jing stood on the steps of the imperial palace, looking at everyone with a smile. The eldest prince was high-spirited and high-spirited.
When I was about to step forward to greet him, I heard an old voice shouting.
"Veteran Wang Bingkun, I kneel down to remonstrate with my emperor. I implore my emperor to reuse Zhu Tianjiang and re-control the military power!"
The old master held up the bamboo pole given by the late emperor with both hands, walked a few steps, and fell to his knees on the ground.
