Zhu Yijun wanted to do this because Zhu Yijun wanted to go to Jiangnan, but there was no suitable reason. Worshiping Emperor Taizu is the best way to say that, but before that, Zhu Yijun needed to worship all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and worship the heavens.

Of course, you can't be too hasty about this matter, and you have to put it until next year. You just want them to fight before the New Year.

Zhu Yijun just looked at these memorials, but did not express his attitude, and directly chose to stay and win. He had no attitude. But sometimes, lack of attitude is already an attitude, and the ministers are still writing letters. In the last few rounds, Zhu Yijun can act as a gesture, express his humility, and show that his merits are shallow.

Then the ministers continued to ask for the report, refused several times, and then reluctantly accepted it.

The whole process seemed like a joke, but it had to be done meticulously, and Zhu Yijun was no exception.

"Emperor, someone from the East Factory sent a secret report about the Wubei Department." Zhang Jing saw that Zhu Yijun had approved the memorial and came to Zhu Yijun and said respectfully.

Zhu Yijun was stunned at first, then said expressionlessly: "What happened to the Wubei Department?"

"When I returned to the Emperor, the Military Preparation Department conducted a new artillery experiment. It was exactly the kind of mortar that the Emperor said, with the tail wing on the shell. It is said that the experiment was successful." Zhang Jing said quickly: "This is what the people from the East Factory reported."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said with a smile: "What is Xu Guangqi doing?"

"Go back to the emperor, I am celebrating with the people of the Wubei Department. Tonight, the Wubei Department will not be careful of wine and meat." Zhang Jing replied again.

Zhu Yijun nodded, stood up and walked down from Longshu's desk, moved his body, Zhu Yijun walked towards the door of the hall, and walked a few steps. Zhu Yijun suddenly said, "Do you have a grudge with Xu Guangqi? Or do you dislike Xu Guangqi? Or did he offend you?"

To put it bluntly, Zhang Jing's operation was to induce slander. It seemed very simple, but it was fatal.

There is a saying that freezing three feet a day is not cold, so slandering is also a long-term knowledge, and it will definitely not work if the time is short.

For example, Zhang Jing said today that Xu Guangqi successfully tested the new cannon and celebrated with the military department. It seemed that there was no problem, but the subtext was not that simple. Zhang Jing's subtext was actually such an important thing, and Xu Guangqi did not come to the palace to report it as soon as possible.

Why is that? Either you are selfish or disrespectful to the emperor. No matter what the situation is, Zhu Yijun will feel uncomfortable.

Once this discomfort is buried, it will directly affect Zhu Yijun's attitude towards Xu Guangqi. This is a way to slander, subtly adding his own association. It seems that Zhang Jing didn't say anything, but just reported an information, but said everything, and the eunuchs basically mastered this ability.

But Zhu Yijun knew what Xu Guangqi represented, and even a hundred Zhang Jing couldn't get one Xu Guangqi.

There are countless eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi, and only one of them is the Ming Dynasty!

After hearing Zhu Yijun's question, Zhang Jing was so scared that he knelt on the ground with a thud and said loudly: "Emperor, Emperor, I don't dare, I don't dare!"

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing, smiled softly, and said with his hands behind his back: "I don't care what you want to do or what you think. In a word, Xu Guangqi attaches great importance to me. You have taken good care of me. If Xu Guangqi makes any mistakes, you won't even have the chance to go to Nanjing to keep a watch."

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhang Jing shivered and his face turned pale. The emperor had never said such a ruthless thing for so many years, which shows how angry the emperor was about it.

Although he was not beaten or scolded with harsh words, Zhang Jing knew that this time he had really touched the emperor's scales. He sighed secretly in his heart. Zhang Jing got up from the ground, and his expression on his face quickly calmed down. He walked out without any expression.

Zhu Yijun didn't take this matter very seriously. Ambition is like grass and needs to be cut off when it grows.

However, Zhu Yijun also knew that the old eunuchs who were following him needed to deal with it. Whether it was Zhang Jing from the East Factory or Zhang Cheng from the Imperial Horse Supervision, they were also retired. Perhaps the growth of their younger generations made them nervous, but sometimes, some things were not transferred by manpower.

As he gently tapped the table, Zhu Yijun sighed, "Times change, and it's really difficult!"

Although Zhu Yijun thinks a lot of things every day, time does not wait for anyone, and life is also passing day by day. In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is about to celebrate.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu Guangqi is here!" Zhang Jing stood beside Zhu Yijun and said respectfully. When he talked about Xu Guangqi, Zhang Jing's expression did not change at all. He just stood there, as always.

In fact, Zhu Yijun also knew that this was not Zhang Jing's intention. He did not feel disgusted with Xu Guangqi. The last time it was just a test of himself, so Zhu Yijun slapped his mouth without hesitation. At the same time, it also made Zhu Yijun think of a replacement. Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng were old and had too many thoughts of being in power, so it was time to change.

"Let him come in!" Soon Xu Guangqi walked in from outside, with an excited expression on his face.

He waved his hand to signal Xu Guangqi to avoid the gift. Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Looking at my dear face, it is obvious that there is a happy event. I wonder what good news has I brought to me today?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have indeed brought good news to Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi said excitedly: "After the Martial Arts Department's research day and night, I finally made a metal fixed-loading shell. I asked someone to test it a few days ago. Although it was successful, it was still unstable. Now it has finally stabilized."

"I have already started to make new post-load guns. Once the trial production is successful, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty will be taken to a higher level.

"In addition, I also discovered that if I want to solve the mass production of metal fixed-loading shells and artillery, I need more and better power. So I am planning to devote all my energy to the steam plan for the next period of time. Now what restricts the Ming Dynasty is power, and the water conservancy stamping machine cannot solve these problems at all."

Zhu Yijun of course knew that once the steam engine was built, muskets and cannons could be built. Now there are explosives, mortars and rear-mounted cannons. If you build a gun, you can build a modern army in the future. All of this is placed on the steam engine.
