By the side of the Hidden Valley Waterfall, Hua Yuelong sat cross-legged on the stone, and after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Actually, don't be so anxious to break through. In fact, stay in the Grandmaster realm for a longer time, so that you can understand yourself more comprehensively and find a path that suits you."

At this time, a figure appeared quietly behind Hua Yuelong and said to Hua Yuelong.

"Yes, I'm too impatient. I've only been in the Grandmaster realm for eight years."

Hua Yuelong couldn't help but sigh and said.

"It's time to eat, let's go, grandpa, let's go back to have a meal."

Hua Yuelong then smiled, stood up and said to Hua Yuande, and then the two walked into the village.

Looking at Hua Yuande, who was walking in front of him, Hua Yuelong couldn't help but remember the scene when he was a child. At that time, when Hua Yuande had time, he liked to hold Hua Yuelong and sit on the stool in front of the door while looking at the clouds in the distance while telling Hua Yuelong the glorious deeds when he was young. Once upon a time, as he grew up, his grandfather had never told him the past story, and Hua Yuande had never caught fish in the water and roasted them.

"Grandpa, we won't go today, how about we grill fish outside?"

Suddenly, Hua Yuelong's steps stopped, with a smile on his face and his eyes slightly red.

After hearing this, Hua Yuande in front of him stopped his body, then turned around and looked at Hua Yuelong, and the two of them stared at each other.

"good"

After a while, Hua Yuande spoke, although the sound was very small, and there was a slight tremor.

In the evening, Hua Yuelong was eating the fish roasted by Hua Yuande, which was still as delicious as when he was a child. While listening to Hua Yuande waving his big hands and telling his past, the two seemed to have returned to the past.

The next day, the two returned home in Hua Ning's complaining tone. They looked at each other and smiled. Hua Yuelong immediately went up to pick up nice words to comfort Hua Ning. However, they did not settle down. Instead, they did not return from time to time, but did not tell Hua Ning that after they did not come back, Hua Ning went to find each other specifically, she never complained again after the two of them had this situation.

But such days did not last long, because of Zhu Houzhao's arrival, the warm situation was immediately broken.

"Brother Ling, I didn't expect that you have become handsome even if you haven't seen you for so many years. You're almost caught up with me."

By the waterfall, two men stood aside and watched the fish swimming in the water. Zhu Houzhao opened her mouth to break the calm.

"Are you praising me or yourself? You are still as shameless as before."

Hua Yuelong said with a pursed mouth.

“Haha, all are there”

Zhu Houzhao was not angry at all when she heard Hua Yuelong's laughter and scolding, but instead burst into laughter.

So the two of them were chatting by the water, and Zhu Houzhao was very surprised and envious of Hua Yuelong's ability to travel so many places.

In fact, he was very grateful to Hua Yuelong, because although Hua Yuelong did not give him personal help in recent years, he made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and other high-yield crops, as well as peppers and other ingredients. Hua Yuelong did not forget any of them, and packed them all and sent them back. He also wrote a letter to explain how these crops were planted and how to plant them to achieve high yields. Because of these crops, the Ming Dynasty was much more stable at this time. Based on agriculture, all walks of life have developed greatly.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao would not take the initiative to do these things, but passively, in order to continue to maintain the appearance of this foolish monarch.

"Brother Ling, the method you gave me is really useful. According to the standards you gave me, I will secretly promote those officials who do practical things. While promoting a large number of such officials, I will promote those treacherous officials who are invincible and harm the national interests for their own family interests or let Cao Zhengchun be imprisoned directly on charges."

Zhu Houzhao became more and more excited as he spoke. You should know which civil officials in the Ming Dynasty had clean foundations? It can be said that they were accurate in each case.

Gradually, Zhu Houzhao gradually controlled the power of the court. Because of Cao Zhengchun's checks and balances, Zhu Tiedan could only watch Zhu Houzhao silently develop his strength. Although Zhu Houzhao was always strengthening his power, this was nothing to Zhu Tiedan. You should know that he was very clear about the importance of the army. Because Hulong Villa had the function of collecting intelligence, Zhu Tiedan secretly collected the eight generals' wages and evidence of corruption. As long as he mastered the eight generals, the two generals of the Chinese clan did not participate in the royal struggle, so there was no need to consider it. Even if Zhu Houzhao controlled the entire court at that time, what would happen?

The facts prove that Zhu Houzhao in the original play did lose a lot in this regard. Perhaps because he was bewitched by civil officials, he believed that military generals were not that important. Cao Zhengchun had a dissatisfaction at that time and was not so loyal to Zhu Houzhao, so he would have lost a lot. This score almost made him lose all the time. If Su Xin hadn't committed suicide in the end, Shenhou would have been furious and was backfired, maybe Zhu Tiegan would have become the emperor in the end.

"Brother Ling, do you know that Princess Izumo is about to marry into my Ming Dynasty?"

After laughing, Zhu Houzhao calmed down and spoke to Hua Yuelong, with a hint of solemnity in her tone.

Hua Yuelong was also surprised after hearing this. It turned out that Zhu Houzhao also understood that marrying a daughter in Izumo Country might be just a conspiracy, but the next sentence made Hua Yuelong's face dark.

"Actually, what I thought was that if this princess Izumo looks good, you can marry her. He is a princess of a country. It would not be too much for you, the future patriarch of the Chinese clan."

"And now I have one queen, three imperial concubines, and countless other beauties in the harem. And you, a twenty-year-old man, don't even want to get married."

Hua Yuelong finally realized that this guy was serious for only three seconds. He just thought that he had to talk about serious things and became unreliable again. He became more and more excited as he spoke, while Hua Yuelong's face became darker and darker.

"If you have something to say, get out of here if you have nothing to do"

Hua Yuelong finally couldn't stand it anymore and immediately said with a dark face.

"I want you to help me"

Zhu Houzhao said immediately, and after he finished speaking, his face became slightly solemn.

"Are you sure you didn't want to fool me to see the princess of Izumo?"

A hint of vigilance appeared on Hua Yuelong's face.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she saw Hua Yuelong's face and quickly explained:

"I just joked with you, because Izumo is a small country near Japan, but he suddenly proposed to submit to my Ming Dynasty and marry the Princess Izumo into the palace. And you also know that I transferred all the masters of the Jinyiwei to form an Ancient Ministry. Now there are three or two Jinyiwei kittens, and Cao Laogou's Dongchang master only obeys him, so I don't want to rely on outsiders, so I thought of you, and you Chinese are not protecting China from being invaded by foreign tribes? If my emperor is assassinated by foreign tribes, do you think of you? "

Zhu Houzhao said tightly at the beginning, but in the end he was clever, but this cleverness made Hua Yuelong's eyes lit up. He had been looking for a suitable reason to participate in the plot, but now he is sleepy and has a pillow. How could he miss this opportunity? Therefore, Hua Yuelong turned around and stared at Zhu Houzhao.

"good"

Just when Zhu Houzhao stopped staring at her, Hua Yuelong finally agreed.

After hearing this reply, Zhu Houzhao did not react on the spot, but then he was very happy. Moreover, Zhu Houzhao was deeply moved because he knew that his reason was awkward, but despite it, Hua Yuelong still agreed to the request.

"However, I want to explain first that I will only protect you from being hurt by foreigners, but I will not interfere with the grudge between you and the Iron Dan Shenhou."

Hua Yuelong was so happy that he didn't want to pour cold water on Zhu Houzhao immediately. So after Zhu Houzhao calmed down, he immediately said to Zhu Houzhao.

"I understand that I won't make it difficult for you to do. Even if I lose at most, I will lose the throne and my life can still be saved. I just don't want to admit defeat."

Zhu Houzhao also showed no concern. In his opinion, it was enough to invite Hua Yuelong out of the mountain, and take the rest slowly.

"Brother Ling, this is your first time in Peiping."

Zhu Houzhao lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and said to Hua Yuelong who was riding on the horse.

After receiving Hua Yuelong's affirmative answer, Zhu Houzhao went back the next day, and Hua Yuelong also followed him back. After all, Zhu Houzhao is the king, so Hua Yuelong still has to be polite in front of outsiders. After all, public is public and private is private.

In private, he was the friendship between his brothers before, but on the surface he was the king of a country and the ruler of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, it's my first time in the past 20 years. Peiping is indeed much more prosperous than other places."

Hua Yuelong looked at the merchants and pedestrians from all over the country and said vaguely that the Ming Dynasty has not implemented the sea ban as before, but unfortunately, the shipbuilding information left by Zheng He was still destroyed. However, as long as there are people, it is not difficult to reproduce the magnificent scene back then.

"Actually, this is nothing. When you watch it for a long time, you will feel tired of it. I also envy you. You can travel around the countries like Saint Confucius. When we return to the palace, you will tell me what you did not finish yesterday."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed a hint of desire when he talked about the Tao traveling around the countries.

Because everyone was disguised, they drove very slowly. Therefore, it was not until the afternoon that Zhu Houzhao and others returned to the palace. As soon as they returned to the palace, Zhu Houzhao ordered Hua Yuelong to be appointed as the first-rank sword guard to protect the emperor's safety.

At this time, in a study room in the world's No. 1 village, Zhu Tiedan was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face, looking at the secret report in front of him, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

But after a while, his ugly expression gradually disappeared, and a signature smile appeared on his face.

"Zhengde, do you think you can get rid of the Chinese people's big tiger skin? Maybe you don't know that I don't need to know you little about the Chinese people. You can scare others, but you can't scare me."
