Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 33
As a veteran, Jiang Xiahou Zhou Dexing really didn't like the silver brought back from Dongying by Shibosi this time, or some Japanese pirates who had been beheaded.In particular, he is now undertaking the task of building cities in important military locations and coastal areas, all of which are prepared to defend against Japanese pirates.

But this doesn't mean that Zhou Dexing doesn't care about this opportunity. There are too many civil and military nobles who want to hug the emperor's grandson's thigh, and this opportunity is rare.

Especially Zhou Dexing could feel that he had not been trusted by the emperor these few years and had already begun to be left idle.If it weren't for the fact that he was still training soldiers and building cities to defend against Japanese pirates, this would have nothing to do with the emperor's grandson.

Zhang He, Feng Cheng, Fu Rang, and Wu Zhong were also honored with You Rongyan at this time. They had completed the tasks assigned by the emperor's grandson very well, and this was also a good opportunity for them to prove themselves to the emperor's grandson.

Just when this group of people was walking towards the Wenhua Palace under the leadership of a young eunuch, Liu Baoer, the palm print eunuch, suddenly smiled, and smiled at the young eunuch who was walking quickly, looking very friendly.

Feng Cheng and the others naturally knew this eunuch, the personal eunuch of the emperor's grandson, and it was said that he was quite trusted by the emperor's grandson.

"My lords, Your Highness has an order, so let's all go to the Hall of Martial Arts."

In fact, Zhu Xiongying is also helpless, the prince Zhu Biao went to Xi'an for inspection.Lao Zhu felt that he was very unaccustomed to the emptiness during his daily office work.

"Remember to go to court tomorrow." Lao Zhu, who was reviewing the memorial, said to Zhu Xiongying, "Don't sleep too much, you know?"

Zhu Xiongying froze for a moment, a little speechless, "Grandfather, my grandson doesn't go to court. If I go to court now, the civil and military officials below will definitely make trouble, and the censors will be nagging again. "

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying, and said angrily, "You don't need to worry about it, you are the one who fiddled with the affairs of the Shibosi. If we want to seal Liu He, naturally we want you to seal it."

Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu, and said after a moment of silence, "Then I will definitely not be able to leave the palace in the future. There are already many people who want to come to me. Liu He is the Marquis, and those people will come to me even more." .”

Zhu Xiongying's words made Lao Zhu laugh, the prince's position is very stable, civil and military officials have no extra thoughts, even those princes dare not have any extra thoughts.

And the status of the emperor's grandson is also very stable. When the emperor's grandson seemed to start contacting some nobles two years ago, many people were moved.

Wang Chengen entered the hall lightly, and whispered, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Jiang Xiahou and others have arrived."

"Let them come in." Zhu Xiongying took the initiative and said, "It's time to meet these people. By the way, Liu Baoer came along, right?"

Wang Chengen immediately said, "Back to Your Highness, Liu Zhangyin and Jiang Xiahou have come together. Your Highness's order has been conveyed, and they dare not neglect. They came as soon as they responded to Tianfu."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said, "Go and get three flying fish clothes and one python robe."

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Xiongying and said nothing. He seemed to be reviewing the memorial, but he didn't move for a long time. He wanted to see for himself how his good grandson was rewarded and punished.

Python suits, flying fish suits, and bullfighting suits are all similar to the dragon suit worn by the emperor because of the decorations on the costumes. They are not included in the official uniform system. It is considered a great honor to receive such a gift.

Of course, flying fish clothes are also a big name. All clothes decorated with flying fish patterns are called flying fish clothes, and the patterns include such over-the-shoulder, patch-style, etc. Clothes can be of various styles, not just Jin Yiwei. Only then.

"Your Majesty will pay my respects, long live Your Majesty!"

"I will pay my respects to Your Highness, His Highness Qianqiu!"

Lao Zhu waved his hand casually and said, "Excuse me, if you have anything to do, please tell your grandson."

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "This time the errand was handled well."

Zhou Dexing and the others bowed immediately, "I wait for my duty and dare not take credit for it."

"You will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your demerits." Zhu Xiongying laughed, and said to Zhou Dexing and others, "Liu Baoer, I will give you a boa robe. You are a guarding eunuch, and you should do your duty."

Liu Baoer knelt down excitedly, and said loudly, "My servant, thank you for your grace!"

For an eunuch like him, this is the emperor's domestic slave.If there is no close appreciation from the master, then there is no status.

Zhou Dexing and the others were not envious. An internal eunuch like Liu Baoer was different from them.Although Liu Baoer's python robe made them envious, they didn't need to be particularly envious.

Zhu Xiongying smiled, and continued, "Feng Cheng, Wu Zhong, and Fu Rang, the three of you will make Bengong look good. You three, each of you should wear a flying fish suit. Continue to do good work, don't make Ben Gong look good. Palace is disappointed."

This time it was the turn of Feng Cheng and the others to get excited, they could be regarded as young talents now.If the prince ascends the throne, basically it is not their turn to have too many opportunities.But if the grandson ascends the throne, maybe they can be of great use.

"Grandfather, Zhang Qian has done a lot of hard work, and Sun Chen has the courage to ask for credit for Zhang Qian's affairs." Zhu Xiongying continued, and said, "Zhang Qian's affairs, can we be called Zhang Hanghaihou in the future?"

Zhang He knelt down excitedly, although his "Marquis" was not as good as the Marquis that Zhou Dexing and others named after the ancient place.But being able to become a marquis is already an extremely rare thing.

Lao Zhu nodded, and said, "Zhang Aiqing has made many achievements, which can be considered as hard work. We remember that you are from Linhuai, and you are also from my hometown."

Zhang He was excited at this time, the Fenghou he had been looking forward to for a long time seemed to be in sight, and he had finally waited for such an opportunity.

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Xiongying, and then said, "Marquis of Navigation? There are quite a few veteran generals in our Ming Dynasty. Although Zhang He has worked hard and made great achievements, the title should not be given lightly. It is for the imperial court to give food and public land!"

The old actor Huang Taisun immediately replied, "Sun Chen knows that the title should not be bestowed lightly. Zhang Qian has always made contributions. Liaodong's water transportation is difficult, and the supply of military rations is often delayed. Zhang Qian's work dredges water and sea transportation. The supply of our frontier army depends on it." There is no shortage. According to the credit, it should also be a marquis!"

Old Zhu remained silent, then said, "Let me think about this matter again."

"Grandfather, Sun Chen is asking for an order for Zhang He, please give it to Marquis of Navigation!" Zhu Xiongying knelt down and said loudly, "Give me an iron coupon, allow hereditary inheritance, and give me a thousand dan of food salary!"

Lao Zhu looked embarrassed and said, "Marquis? How about an earl? Zhang He is worthy of an earl in Daming!"

Immediately, Zhu Xiongying looked unhappy, and also seemed a bit rascal, "Grandpa Huang, this is the first time grandson has asked for orders for his subordinates, Grandpa Huang."

Old Zhu glanced at Zhang He, and said, "Fortunately, we will accept the grandson this time, and allow you to sail the sea!"

Thinking of something, Lao Zhu hurriedly said, "Jiang Xiahou, give me a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver! Well, you all step back!"

Zhou Dexing wanted to cry, but it was good to do things for his grandson, he would definitely be taken seriously, and his grandson was willing to pay for his work.But the grandson insisted on begging for a marquis for Zhang He, which is too rare.Although he knew that there was little hope, Zhou Dexing originally thought that if his grandson helped, his marquis might be a duke.

The dizzy Zhang He didn't realize until he left the imperial city: Is this Marquis the Marquis of Navigation? !

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what Zhang He was thinking at this time, so he said a little ostentatiously, "Grandfather, from now on you will be the bad guy, and I will be the good guy. I should take care of him too!"

Old Zhu thought it was funny, and said angrily, "You've been talking in front of us all day long, we know you're making us happy. If others hear it, they should say you're not filial!"

"Let's just say it, grandson doesn't care." Zhu Xiongying laughed, and said pointedly, "If people outside know what grandson said, just change a group of eunuchs and maids."

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing, he was extremely satisfied with this grandson of the emperor.Because this grandson of the emperor, many things in his bones are very similar to him.

"Grandfather, I have shown you kindness today, and it is time for me to move my sailors and ship commanders." Zhu Xiongying said seriously, "Grandson is thinking about something, but he is not sure yet. Ask Grandpa Huang to guard his grandson."

Lao Zhu nodded, and said as a matter of course, "Okay, tell us, and we will check for you!"
