Zhu Gaoxu knew that since Lao Zhu had spoken out, there should be a solution.

I just don't know what role he plays in it.

Thinking like this, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything and continued to eat pastries. He knew that Lao Zhu would say it himself soon.

Sure enough, it was exactly what Zhu Gaoxu thought.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu eating cakes wholeheartedly, Lao Zhu poured Zhu Gaoxu a cup of tea and continued: "Originally, we were still thinking of finding a way to silence those old guys, but we didn't expect that people from the Ministry of War came just now."

Ministry of War?

Hearing that the Ministry of War was about to intervene, Zhu Gaoxu finally put down the pastry in his hand, picked up the tea that Lao Zhu had just poured, smoothed his throat, and then motioned to Lao Zhu to continue.

But Lao Zhu did not continue talking about the Ministry of War. Instead, he took a detour and said, "We heard that you just had a fight with Hu Weiyong's eldest grandson at Yan Zhenzhi's place? And you used a knife?"

Zhu Gaoxu was not surprised that Lao Zhu knew that he had beaten Hu Wenzheng. There must be no way to hide the whereabouts of so many Jin Yiwei at that time.

It's just that Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know why Lao Zhu is talking about this now.

He didn't think Hu Wenzheng was some big shot and couldn't touch him.

Besides, this matter is at most just a joke between two juniors, and it has already been resolved.

Does Lao Zhu know about my blackmailing Hu Weiyong?

That's not right, even if you know about Lao Zhu, you should be happy to see it succeed.

Just when Zhu Gaoxu was trying to figure out what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, Lao Zhu spoke again.

"As soon as you beat Hu Weiyong's grandson, people from the Ministry of War came and told us that the three-eyed gun is now the only weapon, and all other weapons are crooked. They said that our river can be defeated, and the firearms used are all three-eyed guns.

You can't chase after the enemy with a bludgeoning eye."

After hearing Lao Zhu's words, Zhu Gaoxu finally understood what Lao Zhu meant.

This old boy Hu Weiyong moves very quickly.

As soon as he was frustrated, he immediately arranged for people from the Ministry of War to cause trouble for him behind the scenes.

Obviously taking this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only can he express his position and tell Lao Zhu that he already knows about the Ming Gun, it will stop Lao Zhu from wanting to master it alone. At the same time, he can also warn Zhu Gaoxu that it is impossible to successfully build the Ming Gun.

But Zhu Gaoxu felt that this offensive was a bit small and did not fit Hu Weiyong's character.

But he didn't know that not only the Ministry of War, but also more than half of the officials from the Zhongshu Province, as well as some military generals, came for him.

It's just the Ministry of War taking the lead.

Lao Zhu didn't tell Zhu Gaoxu about this, he just took on some pressure.

Waving his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts and continued: "Don't think about it, this matter is actually not bad."

"We take this opportunity to say that we will let the Ming Dynasty Gun and the Three-Eyed Gun compete in a competition. The time is set to be seven days later. We will not express our position during the whole process. We will listen to whoever wins at that time."

The meaning of Lao Zhu's words is very obvious, which is to give Zhu Gaoxu some breathing space.

I'll give you seven days. Then you can get rid of these stubborn old men and give us a good face.

If you lose... Anyway, we gave you a chance.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't feel anything wrong with this.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor. He may not win this kind of competition. He has to find someone to take the blame.

If he loses, Zhu Gaoxu will be the one who takes the blame. If he wins, of course it will be Ren Lao Zhu Hui who knows the difference.

Zhu Gaoxu has the consciousness to be a scapegoat. Of course, the prerequisite is that there are benefits.

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu was still thinking of finding an opportunity to ask Lao Zhu for some benefits, but now the opportunity has come.

With this thought in mind, Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "Grandpa Huang, don't worry about this. Your grandson will definitely make you proud when the time comes."

"It's just that my grandson plans to equip the new army with these Ming dynasty guns. It's just that it's difficult to lead this army now. My grandson is poor and useless, so not everyone is willing to follow my grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Zhu Gaoxu wanted such obvious benefits and did not argue with him.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhu Gaoxu's ability, and he really wanted to see how much his grandson could do.

So Zhu Yuanzhang stopped writing and said boldly: "For now, the new army you lead will receive the same treatment as the imperial army. Individual treatment such as pre- and post-war benefits, disability and death allowances, etc., are you suitable?"

If you add a little more, we will open the door for you, and you can get rid of a bunch of wolf cubs!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed and immediately said that there was no problem at all.

At that moment, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a few more words, and then Zhu Gaoxu said goodbye.

After walking out of the palace, Zhu Gaoxu did not go back to the military camp immediately, but decided to go home first.

But as soon as he entered the house, Zhu Gaoxu saw his mother waiting for him in the courtyard with a feather duster.

"You little bastard, how dare you show your sword in the street? You let your men hurt others at a young age. How can you make a big difference when you grow up?"

As he spoke, he rushed towards Zhu Gaoxu with a feather duster.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to go inside. He turned around and fled outside without saying a word.

Although Zhu Gaoxu has short calves, he has the blessing of internal strength and can run as fast as flying without feeling tired at all.

As soon as he went out, there was no trace of him. When Xu Miaoyun saw that he could not find Zhu Gaoxu, he cursed and walked back unwillingly.
