Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Even if there is no letter to return to Beijing at the moment, I still want him to return to Beijing to report on his work.

Let's take a look at his heart and see if there are any people among the ten generals who follow the yin and the yin.

Second, it is to deter the frontier officials. If you want to go to war with foreign countries, you must first put out the fire in the backyard.

Before everything is settled, you need to solve this possible hidden danger.

Zhu Houzhao thought so in his heart, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly, "It was played by the quasi-terrifying general!"

"However, during the return to Beijing, everything in the important town will be properly arranged!"

"According to the order!"

"It is said that Cao Zhengchun came to see me quickly!"

When the Son of Heaven summoned him, Cao Zhengchun did not dare to be slighted in the slightest, and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"How is the progress of the expansion of the East Plant personnel and their training?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun's face sank slightly.

Usually, His Majesty rarely inquires about the affairs of the East and West factories.

This time, His Majesty suddenly called himself to come, and suddenly asked about the thing factory, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have ordered someone to train and train new recruits, and teach them the ability to detect and hide."

"I can assure Your Majesty that it will not take long for these newcomers to become sharp knives in His Majesty's hands!"

"very good!"

"However, right now, I just have an important thing for you to do!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Please instruct your majesty, and this minister will do it properly!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said, "Arrange secret agents from Dongchang to closely monitor everything that happens in the capital."

"If there is any trouble and any suspicious person, you must come and report to me."

Cao Zhengchun trembled in his heart. He already felt that something big might happen in Daming in the past few days.

Otherwise, the Son of Heaven would not have said these words to him.

As for what happened, Cao Zhengchun himself did not know.

As the emperor's most loyal bodyguard, the emperor did not explicitly say that he must not ask questions without authorization.

"The minister obeys the order!"

......

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Keng!

The Imperial Sword is unsheathed!

The valet **** was terrified.

Since Liu Jin was executed last time, the entire **** group has been quiet a lot. Although Liu Jin's position has not been replaced for the time being, the eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao feel that they are living like a year.

Although the new emperor is not the kind of murderer, many eunuchs have an unknown side behind them. If one day they are accidentally exposed, they will follow in the footsteps of Liu Jin.

The **** standing there tremblingly, Zhu Houzhao glanced at him. Originally, he didn't have a good face towards the eunuchs around him, but this would happen, and he was even more furious.

"Quickly convene civil and military officials to discuss matters in Xuanzheng Hall!"

"According to the order!"

The valet **** hurriedly ran out of the Qianqing Palace.

It is now past noon, when the ministers are called to the court at this time, the Ming Dynasty is called the evening court.

Zhu Houzhao's father, Emperor Hongzhi, was a diligent emperor. When he was on the throne, there were three dynasties a day, divided into three dynasties: morning, noon, and evening.

When the ministers of civil and military affairs heard the bell and drum of the court meeting, they left the government office and went to Xuanzheng Hall to participate in the court meeting.

Within half an hour, all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty gathered in Xuanzheng Hall, and no one was absent.

The Ming Dynasty has strict national laws, and the drums of the court meeting are beating on the three links. No matter how important you are, you must come to the court to attend the meeting. Anyone who is late will be fined for three years.

Three years of salary, for a court official, the loss will be very heavy.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty waited anxiously, wondering what His Majesty meant in their hearts.

This His Majesty suddenly had a court meeting. Could it be that something major happened in the capital?

In the past few months, only when the Datong Mansion was in crisis, His Majesty called a court meeting.

Many officials came to ask Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, but Liu Jian was also at a loss. He really didn't know what happened in the capital recently?

Just when the civil and military officials were puzzled, the eunuch's voice sounded outside the hall: "The emperor is here!"

Civil and military officials knelt down one after another, and bowed and worshipped.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Be flat!"

Zhu Houzhao, with the sword of the Son of Heaven on his waist, stepped into the court hall with great steps. He stood on the court platform and did not sit down.

Manchao Wenwu looked up and saw that His Majesty was wearing a sword of the emperor on his waist, standing on the dragon platform, murderous!

Manchu Wenwu suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty and said, "I just received a secret report from the Dongchang factory, and the Folang machine has sneaked into the coastline of Daming, trying to do something wrong."

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's voice fell, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty began to discuss, and some people stood up and advocated war between the two countries.

"The chief assistant of the cabinet!"

"The minister is here!"

Liu Jian hurriedly stood up and handed over to Zhu Houzhao.

"Declaring war on the Folang Machine Country, I have already ordered Qi Jingtong to attack the Folang Machine Country. I want to see how powerful their artillery is?"

"You immediately announce to all the surrounding countries that anyone who dares to trade with the Fulangji State is my enemy, and I will send troops to destroy it! No matter whether it belongs to my affiliated country or not, it is absolutely impossible!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao started to assign tasks again.

"Book of War"

"The minister is here!"

"You immediately reorganize your troops and horses, and after training with the Daming Navy, send your troops to the country of Folang Ji, and let them be at the ends of the earth, and I will destroy these arrogant people!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"The Minister of Industry!"

"The minister is here!"

"Intensify the development of firearms, especially fighters and artillery. I want to see the results within three months, and the gun can be filled with gunpowder. I also need to improve the range and accuracy."

"According to the order!"

Zhu Houzhao issued four imperial decrees in succession, and then waved his hand: "Disperse the dynasty!"

Zhu Houzhao left the Xuanzheng Hall, leaving the ministers to look at each other in dismay.

His Majesty issued four imperial decrees in a row, but only said one thing, that is, the people of the Folangji country in the south are invading the Daming coastline, and I, Daming, want to fight the Folangji.

The emperor's anger is the anger of Daming. Daming is like a lion now. If this anger is to send millions of troops, no country can easily resist it.

After Zhu Houzhao left the court, all the civil and military officials wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, which was really frightening.

It turned out to be just to announce a war to the outside world.

The minister of households, Liang Chu, was also secretly delighted. It turned out that he thought that this time His Majesty was going to force him to ask him for money again. It turned out to be a small, unknown country.

In the eyes of the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, nothing else is as important as His Majesty asking him for money.

As for the Folang machine, Daming's courtiers still know a little about him, but there are only dozens of station ships. The most important thing is that they invented the artillery, which is called the Folang machine gun. Cannons are about the same.

It's just a small breakthrough in technology, and it begins to intrude on the great country. I really don't know how high the sky is.

After the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty retreated, their faces showed joy. In their opinion, Folang Jiren was simply courting death.

Of course, the thoughts of the ministers were very different from those of the emperor.

In the eyes of the emperor, the Ming Empire was everything.

National honor is always above all...
