Chapter 17: The Desperate Zhu Youxiao


East of the city, Fu Mansion.

"Why are you here at this time?"

Fu Changzong had just returned from the household department, and as soon as he entered the door, he frowned slightly and said: "Now that the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are fighting to the death, whoever comes up at this time may be involved!"

” Zhu Xu was eating, watching Fu Changzong come back and didn't move, and said vaguely: "Uncle is back." ” Fu Changzong is the elder brother of Zhu Xu's mother, and he did not leave a name in history, but was arranged by Zhu Xu to the position of head of the household department.

In the past few years, he has been diligent, but he has become more and more calm, and he has the taste of being able to hold the boat in the prime minister's belly.

Zhu Xu finished eating, wiped his mouth, and then explained his intention.

Fu Changzong's face changed greatly, he stood up suddenly, looked at Zhu Xu, and was extremely surprised, "You want to build an arsenal?"

” Zhu Xu looked very calm, and said with a smile: "It's not an arsenal either, I just want craftsmen to experiment with something."

However, although the sparrow is small, it needs to be complete. ” Fu Changzong's face softened slightly, since the success of Zhu Di's rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties have very strict control over the vassal kings, although His Royal Highness King Hui is still young, but if it is spread out, it will be the end of a lifetime of imprisonment.

Fu Changzong calmed down, and his back was wet in just a moment, he thought about it, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "If Your Highness wants to get some gadgets, it's not impossible, but outsiders had better not know too much."

"Fu Changzong's sentence 'Your Highness' is to remind Zhu Xu of the seriousness of the matter, and a little carelessness is a catastrophe.

At the same time, the matter is characterized as that His Highness is young and just wants to do something fun.

Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, but secretly thought in his heart, uncle, uncle, this time I have no choice but to pull you into the water.

Gunpowder, iron, coal, these things are not in the hands of the household, no one can quietly transport and trade.

Then the two discussed the details, Zhu Xu didn't dare to leak too much, this uncle seemed to be able to calm down, but he was very cautious or timid.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Zhu Xu came out of the Fu Mansion and returned to the palace in the carriage.

At the same time, there was an 'girl' of about thirty in his carriage, looking at Zhu Xu with a look of fear and expectation, pursing his lips, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Zhu Xu glanced at her, she was a gentle beauty, and she was the best age.

Zhu Xu is also interesting to think about, hundreds of years later, the girl has become a young lady, and it is extremely low-end, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even her temperament is gone.

"Your Highness."

Yao Qingqing looked at Zhu Xu a little crampedly, and bowed slightly.

She really couldn't stand Zhu Xu's gaze, and she always felt very weird, which made her feel uneasy.

Zhu Xu smiled, retracted his thoughts, looked at her and said, "Don't worry about being afraid, this king is still young, and you will be old when I can do something to you."

In fact, in this era, thirty years old is already old.

Yao Qingqing pursed his lips slightly, not knowing if he wanted to laugh, but quickly calmed down.

'Quite the right man.

Zhu Xu nodded secretly, this Yao Qingqing is sexually mature, and his emotions are also very well controlled, taking care of his daily life in his palace and dealing with trivial matters is also very suitable, saving him from being so annoyed by looking at the two men all the time.

"What this king promised you will definitely come true, you can rest assured."

Zhu Xu said, Cao Huachun promised to help Yao Qingqing match with that Master Bi, and he naturally had to agree.

Yao Qingqing bowed slightly again, and said, "The people's daughter has this one wish, if His Royal Highness can match, she will never give up." ” It's an infatuated woman.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and immediately thought of Qin Huai Bayan, almost all of them were talented and charming, but unfortunately none of them had good results.

Yao Qingqing didn't think about it so much, she was ill-fated, she was sold by her parents when she was very young, and she resold it three times and twice, she no longer knew who her parents were, and even her name was taken by a 'senior' who took her in.

After ten years of falling into Zhangtai, seeing all the prosperity, he finally put his mind on Bi Maokang.

Bi Maokang didn't lose her, but his parents died of illness one after another, and two three years of filial piety is six years, plus he served as the governor of the imperial history one after another, the years of sxsd are in a hurry, and it is ten years in a blink of an eye.

She is now old and decrepit, and her only sustenance is Bi Maokang, if Zhu Xu can help her fulfill her long-cherished wish, don't say that she is willing to enter the palace to dress King Hui for a year, even if it is ten years!

When Zhu Xu entered the palace slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the imperial study looked at the sculpture in front of him with a frown, motionless, as if he was competing with the wood carving to see who moved first.

Zhu Youxiao did not move, and the eunuchs who were waiting not far away did not dare to move, and the needle drop in the huge imperial study room could be heard.

"How many days has it been?"

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Youxiao suddenly looked up at the front, and Mu Ran asked.

A eunuch in front hurriedly stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's been three days." ” "Three days?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then shocked, looked at him and said, "Who are you?"

” "Slave Liu Shimin."

Liu Shimin said respectfully, it's not that Zhu Youxiao doesn't know him, but his head has been numb for too long, and he didn't react for a while.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to be recovering his memory, and after a while, he nodded stiffly and said, "I know." ” Because of the unprecedented struggle between the eunuchs and the Qingliu, now the civil and military officials are impeaching the eunuchs, and the waves are crashing on the shore, destroying the withering and decaying trend, making him, the emperor, frightened and doesn't know how to deal with it.

The people who were usually with him and could remind him of Wei Zhongxian were all driven away by him.

Moreover, he did not go to court for the past three days, nor did he meet with any officials.

Even if it was the queen, Zhu Xu didn't see him, and he kept hiding in the imperial study.

Zhu Youxiao sat there, and suddenly a glimmer of brilliance appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Liu Shimin and said, "Liu Qing, when will Mother Ke come back?"

” Ke's mother is Zhu Youxiao's name for Hak's, and Ke's is his wet nurse.

Liu Shimin is a special person, although he is a eunuch, he is in the celebrant eunuch, but he does not belong to the eunuch party, he in order to protect himself or Mingzhi, and later renamed himself Liu Ruoyu.

He naturally didn't like the Hakka clan who was in cahoots with Wei Zhongxian, and he hesitated a little when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a big flood now, and there are riotous people, and the date of Madame's return to Beijing may not be determined." ” seemed to answer truthfully, but Zhu Youxiao's last glimmer of hope was broken.

Zhu Youxiao showed a look of disappointment on his face, and sat there indifferently.

It seemed that he had been sitting for a long time and wanted to talk, so he looked at Liu Shimin and said, "What are the rumors outside?"

” Liu Shimin said: "Your Majesty, now the court is afraid, the people are surging, there are rumors that Zhou Yushi was forced to confess, and his body is incomplete, and there are also those who admit that they have formed a party and rebelled, and it is not a pity to die, and they bite each other, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have become rebels and thieves." ” The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth moved, as if he was smiling, and his eyes showed mockery.

If it is said that it is a party **, falsely accusing the ministers, and disobeying the king, he believes it, and it is easy to deal with it, and now a courtier has rebelled, not to mention that he doesn't believe it, the whole Ming Dynasty will not believe it if he pulls out a person casually!

Zhu Youxiao sighed, and looked at the mountains of folds piled up not far from the table, all of which impeached Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, not only civil and military officials, officials from all over the country, Zhishi, imperial relatives, and even some people with great prestige and qualifications to write excerpts, almost everyone was involved!

Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to go to court, he could imagine that kind of picture, and he felt scared.

He didn't know what to do.
