"Maybe it's a good thing for eldest brother to come back."

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were filled with emotions.

There is resentment, disappointment, anger, and unwillingness.

In the dream, he finally became the emperor, but within a few years, he was forced to step down from the throne.

"Fourth uncle, it's so abominable. You even have to fight against me in my dreams."

After a long time, Zhu Yunwen sighed, feeling helpless in the end.

"That's good. If my eldest brother becomes emperor, he will definitely not be like me."

At this time, Zhu Yunwen seemed to have gained a new life, and the decadence on his face disappeared.

...

As soon as Zhu Ying returned to Kunning Palace, the old man called him out.

"Dasun, look at this, this blue jade is so ungrateful that he dared to openly beat the Minister of Libu, and even surrounded the Shangshu of Libu, preventing him from having a chance to report."

"Audacity!"

Before Zhu Ying could figure out the situation, the old man said directly.

Next to him, Jiang Wei, at Zhu Yuanzhang's signal, told Zhu Ying that Lan Yu led people to rush to Zhan Hui's mansion and beat him forcibly.

"Zhan Shangshu, are you okay?"

When Zhu Ying heard the news, she was speechless.

This behavior can only be said to be really outrageous.

"Although this guy is still a bit serious, I still have to keep my hands when I attack. Otherwise, if Zhan Shangshu can withstand a few blows, his life will be taken care of."

"It's just that this kind of behavior does not take the Ming Dynasty's laws into consideration. We have reprimanded him many times before, but I didn't expect that this guy doesn't want to repent and still dares to do this."

"This is the capital city. Look at this blue jade, and it doesn't even take us seriously anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

He was really angry about this matter. Here in the capital, with the dense guards, even the smallest official in the capital was under the surveillance of the guards.

Not to mention the key targets of surveillance like Lan Yu.

It can be said that the ins and outs of this matter were already very clearly known to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying frowned slightly and began to think about how to deal with this matter.

It is very troublesome to deal with the blue jade.

The first thing is to maintain the dignity of the Ming Dynasty's laws. Punishment is definitely inevitable, but this level must be grasped well.

Lan Yu and others cannot be too sad because of this matter, and at the same time, Zhan Hui cannot be chilled.

Seeing Da Sun thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu He and waved his hand.

Liu He understood immediately and withdrew with Jiang Yu and many palace ladies and officials, and closed the door.

After everyone left and only the grandfather and grandson were left in the house, Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Dasun, I have to tell you something. When we are emperors, we must be ruthless. We also know that Lan Yu has a close relationship with you, and during this period of time, especially in the army, he has given a lot of attention to Dasun.

Great support.”

"But Dasun, you have to understand, and let's put it bluntly, Lan Yu has never had any doubts about Dasun's identity from the beginning, and you know this."

Zhu Ying heard this and replied: "My grandson understands."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "Don't underestimate Lan Yu. We are also very wary of him. At present, the old guys in Huaixi are extremely supportive of him. In the past two years, he

And he has made such great achievements."

"Let's make it clear to the eldest grandson. If the eldest grandson doesn't come back, we will have to get rid of them early next year at the latest."

"If we hadn't seen that he was extremely loyal to your father, this guy wouldn't be alive today."

"Now for Da Sunli, let's see, in terms of loyalty, I really don't know what to do."

After hearing the old man's teachings, Zhu Ying pondered for a while and then said: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson has also thought about these things. Now my grandson's idea is to transfer Huaixi and other nobles to the Public Security Department.

develop."

"Join the military academy to retrain new soldiers to replace these vacancies."

The old man spoke sincerely, and Zhu Ying didn't hesitate and just said what was in her heart.

They say the emperor is lonely, and this is true.

For Sapphire, more aspects are cooperation in terms of interests.

Just like Lan Yu has always recognized Zhu Ying as Zhu Xiongying from the beginning, because only Zhu Ying is Zhu Xiongying, and this will be in the interest of Lan Yu and other Huaixi military generals.

"So how will the great grandson arrange this matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied when he heard this.

Being too simple and naive is not good material for the emperor, as he will only be manipulated by the officials.

Zhu Ying replied: "Currently, there has been a vacancy in the candidate for the Governor of the Department of Public Security. Taking advantage of this incident, Sun'er is planning to transfer him to the position of Governor of the Department of Public Security."

"Nowadays, officials up and down the court believe that the Public Security Department is like the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities. It is basically the work of the government servants. They do not pay attention to it. It is only the retirement of veterans that has some impact."

"This transfer has also taken good care of Zhan Shangshu's face. As for Lan Yu, his grandson will also comfort him. It won't take long before he will come to his grandson to explain the matter."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled and said: "This method is not bad. This time, the problem among the generals has been solved."

"Okay, that's it."

"Over there in the Gunpowder Department, how do you think my grandson is doing?"

Zhu Ying heard the old man ask about the Gunpowder Department and replied: "Grandpa, just don't worry. The Gunpowder Department now has more than 3,000 matchlocks in stock, and my grandson has ordered people to be transferred to Xuanjia Guard for use."

"You only need to practice for a period of time before you can engage in actual combat. Then you will follow the army and go to Shaanxi to redress the rebellion."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some excitement: "Okay, let's take a closer look then. How powerful this matchlock gun is. If it can show its power, why should our Ming Dynasty not be strong?"

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Grandpa, please keep an eye on me."

Zhu Ying had great confidence in the matchlock gun.

This redress can be said to be the first change in the form of warfare in ancient times. This has become the prototype of later generations of rifles.

The most obvious thing is that he has greatly narrowed the gap between ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers.

Whether they are crossbowmen or cavalry, they all need a lot of drills and exercises, and they also have very high requirements on all aspects of physical fitness.

Relatively speaking, the matchlock gun is cheaper to build and faster to train.

The reason why Zhu Ying wanted to promote training similar to the military training of later generations was mainly about discipline and obedience.

As for matchlock training, a Huo Tongbing soldier with a little foundation can become a qualified Huo Tongbing soldier in just one month.

Based on the current output of the Gunpowder Department and its ever-expanding scale, it is conceivable that Zhu Ying will be able to obtain a 10,000-strong Huotong Corps when he attacks Japan in the spring of next year.

After chatting with the old man, Zhu Ying went back to Kunning Palace.

At this time, there was a young man in his early twenties who had been waiting for a long time in Kunning Palace.

This man is Geng Xuan, the son of Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen.

Previously, this engagement was arranged by Lu.

In fact, Zhu Mingyue, including Zhu Yunxi, didn't have much bad feelings towards Lu.

There are inevitably some gaps between the stepmothers, but overall it's pretty good.

Geng Xuan's reputation is not bad. Zhu Mingyue begged her eldest brother just to see how her future husband would be in advance and whether she would be satisfied with him.

Geng Xuan sat alone in the courtyard of Kunning Palace, feeling a little uneasy.

Geng Xuan is actually not unfamiliar with the imperial palace.

You must know that his father Geng Bingwen is truly a top-notch nobleman in today's Ming Dynasty.

Although Geng Bingwen was not granted the title of Duke, he was only granted the title of Marquis.

But this does not mean that Geng Bingwen's prestige in the military is low.

You must know that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, when the heroes were ranked in the third year of Hongwu, Geng Bingwen made great contributions to guarding Changxing, and he was ranked as a first-class hero with Xu Da.

When Geng Bingwen was granted the title of Changxing Marquis and became a general, Lan Yu was still just a commander. Compared with Geng Bingwen, a first-class meritorious officer, he was not even a bit different.

Even now, Lan Yu has become the leader of the Huaixi Military General Xungui Group, but she still respects Geng Bingwen very much.

After all, this is an existence that can be compared with his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun.

Geng Xuan is not famous, but as the eldest son of Geng Bingwen, as far as the capital is concerned, apart from the royal family, he is definitely a first-class noble.

Just like his father, Geng Xuan looks a bit mature. This may be because of his father's appearance, which can only be considered average.

Zhu Mingyue, who was hiding behind the door and looking around, was obviously a little disappointed.

In her heart, her husband is like a big brother, with majestic aura and extraordinary temperament.

Looking at it now, I can’t say it’s bad, it’s just slightly different from what I imagined.
