Chapter 7

Jiajing suddenly said that he wanted to put Zhang Hao in prison. After hearing this, Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it and knew what Jiajing was thinking. He could only say that he was bullying honest people.

"I want to see, what else can they do if I sent Zhang Manzi to prison? How can they do more excessive things? Will they fight the Tatars outside the city?" Jiajing's tone was filled with anger and a mentality of watching the show.

"Your Majesty, it's good to slap Zhang Manzi, but, where is the Duke of England?" Lu Fang stood there, reminding Jiajing.

"Zhang Rong will understand. Tell the Jinyiwei that I will take good care of Zhang Manzi. If you have any injuries or grievances, I want their heads!" Jiajing replied to Lu Fang and said.

"Yes, I'll explain it now!" Lu Fang nodded and prepared to go out.

"No, let Lu Bing come over, I will tell him personally!" Jiajing suddenly spoke.

Lu Fang nodded and was about to go out. At this time, a eunuch came in outside, went to the underside of the dock platform, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the British Duke is asking for a visit, saying that something is important!"

"Oh, let him come in!" When Jiajing heard this, he immediately waved his hand to Lu Fang and signaled him not to go out for now.

The eunuch stood up and trotted out. After a while, Zhang Rong and Zhang Hao arrived at the Taoist platform.

"I have met the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"I have seen the emperor, long live my emperor!" Zhang Hao also knelt down and kowtowed.

"Well, no gifts, I'll give you a seat!" Jiajing sat on it and said.

"Come on, Duke of England, please sit down!" Lu Fang brought a stool and Zhang Rong bowed.

Then Lu Fang wanted to move to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao took it over: "Don't bother you, I'll do it myself! Thank you!"

"Well, I'm quite sensible!" Jiajing saw this scene above and said with a smile.

"Hehe!" Zhang Hao immediately pretended to be giggling.

"Your Majesty, last night, my son Zhang Hao wanted to play firecrackers and insisted on pestering me to give him gunpowder and iron. I had no choice but to give him some and let him play by himself.

Unexpectedly, the firecracker he made was extremely powerful. When I was in the military camp, I used a live pig to experiment. A big firecracker was thrown over and five or six pigs were killed. The other pigs were injured. I thought that if this thing could be produced in large quantities so that we could use it when attacking the Tatars, we could deal with the opponent's cavalry very effectively!" Zhang Rong said to Jiajing very excitedly.

"Oh, there is something like this?" Jiajing became interested when he heard this.

"Yes, my master, this thing is dangerous. I dare not bring it into the palace, but please believe me. As long as the emperor agrees, I will produce a large amount of money immediately. When the royal army arrives, I will take the soldiers out of the city and insist on letting the Tatar soldiers know that the power of my Ming Dynasty cannot be violated!" Zhang Rong sat there and bowed to Jiajing and said.

"Well, Zhang Manzi, what did you do?" After hearing this, Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao with some doubts.

"Well, I made it. When I saw them shooting red cannons, I thought I would like to order them too, but if they didn't let me order, I would play by myself!" Zhang Hao nodded happily and said.

"This kid, you are not playing with the red cannon!" After hearing this, Jiajing said to Zhang Hao with a smile.

"Yes, this child is ignorant, so I have to take him wherever I go, for fear that he will cause trouble!" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao and smiled kindly.

"Yeah!" Jiajing nodded, and there was no further information.

Zhang Rong didn't know what Jiajing was thinking, so he could only wait.

"Zhang Rong, I want to detain Zhang Manzi for a while, do you think?" Jiajing suddenly asked.

"Ah, this...yes, Master, Hao'er is wrong, so he should be punished!" Zhang Rong was shocked when he heard this, but he still knelt down.

"Don't worry, I will not let Zhang Manzi suffer any grievances, nor will I let him be beaten, hungry and frozen!" Jiajing explained.

Zhang Rong was a little confused about what Jiajing was thinking. Wouldn't Zhang Hao be fine if he said this? But since it's okay, why would you catch him?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Rong knelt down again.

Zhang Hao was thinking in his heart: "What do you want to do this crazy person? I have only traveled for two days, so you asked me to go to jail? Before the Tatar soldiers were finished, let me go to jail? Do you still want to win?"

"Zhang Hao, wait a minute, someone will take you to the Jinyiwei prison. Don't resist. Have you heard?" Jiajing explained to Zhang Hao.

"If you don't go, I will follow my father to fight the Tatar soldiers, and they don't dare to fight!" Zhang Hao sat there, shook his head very firmly and said.

"What nonsense? Who dares not fight? What the emperor asks you to do? If you hear that, go to the Jinyiwei Prison and be obedient!" Zhang Rong immediately scolded Zhang Hao and said.

"They just dare not fight. Humph, I don't know them yet. Because of the high and thick walls of Beiping City, the Tatar soldiers could not kill them, so they instigated those Tatar soldiers to rob them outside, and no one wanted to kill the enemy. Anyway, when the royal army arrived, the Tatar soldiers would naturally retreat! I am not like them, I dare to fight!" Zhang Hao raised his head and said proudly.

"Hiss!" Jiajing stood up at this moment, looked at Zhang Hao in shock, and was suspicious in his heart that this kid didn't look like a fool!

Then he asked Zhang Hao and said, "How did you know?"

"This is not simple. They are afraid of death. Master, I am not afraid of death!" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Jiajing and said with a proud look on his face.

"This kid, aren't you afraid of death?" Jiajingting was amused after hearing this, but he remembered Zhang Hao's words in his heart.

"Not afraid, I will blow them to death with firecrackers!" Zhang Hao said, shaking his head.

"Okay, I can't let you die. If you die, who will protect me? Be obedient, go to the Jinyiwei prison and sleep there and play, okay?" Jiajing also coaxed Zhang Hao and said.

"Well, I want to take my copper hammer. If anyone bullies me, I will hammer to death!" Zhang Hao pretended to think about it and said.

"Okay!" Jiajing smiled and said, after hearing this.

"I want to eat meat, by the way, Dad, give me money, I'll go to jail. Then I'll buy food and my money will be robbed!" Zhang Hao still pretended that he didn't know what the Jinyiwei prison looked like, and even reached out to ask Zhang Rong for money.

"This... Dad didn't bring any money, so Daddy will send it to you later!" Zhang Rong said with a big head.

What did this kid think when he went to jail to buy food?

"Lu Fang!" Jiajing shouted.

"I am here!" Lu Fang held back his laughter and came over and bowed his hands.

"Go and get fifty taels of cash and hand it over to Zhang Manzi! Then go and do your business!" Jiajing ordered.

"Yes!" Lu Fang turned around and went out immediately.

"Okay, Zhang Manzi, you go outside and wait!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Yes! Emperor!" Zhang Hao stood up, bowed his hand, and walked outside.

Then Jiajing walked down and walked to Zhang Rong's side. Zhang Rong stood up and bowed.

"Now, I can only let the barbarians suffer a little grievance. Early in the morning, the cabinet received dozens of memorials impeaching Zhang Manzi. If I don't deal with it, they will continue to impeach them. Let's talk about it after the battle!" Jiajing said as he went to see the memorial that Lu Fang had just put down.

"Yes, the emperor, the barbarian is ignorant, which makes the emperor worry!" Zhang Rong bowed and said again.

"The barbarians are very sensible. Those who claim to be capable ministers and officials are not sensible. In addition, if you want to be that big firecracker, I will give you an imperial edict later to mobilize the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to do it. However, don't fight easily. You have never commanded the battle, and your personal martial arts are not good. Fighting is the business of those generals, the affairs of the Ministry of War, not yours!" Jiajing looked through the memorials and spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, if you have the chance, I must fight out. I am the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. The Tatar soldiers bullied me like this, and I would rather die than avenge my shame!" Zhang Rong immediately knelt down and said with emotion. Jiajing was indeed good to Zhang Rong.

"Hey, it's not a military general but does the work of military generals. Those military generals are still uncontrollable! Zhang Rong, after this battle, the two battalions of the capital expanded into the third battalion, and the troops were expanded from 50,000 to 80,000. No one is allowed to send those soldiers. All soldiers are restrained and must be trained strictly. Those people are unreliable!" Jiajing put down the memorial and said to Zhang Rong.

"Yes, the emperor is worried. I will train the soldiers strictly! Don't let the emperor down!" Zhang Rong kowtowed and said.

"Get up, I'll write the imperial edict. You go and do what I have assigned. Don't worry about Zhang Manzi!" Jiajing said and walked to the front of the desk. Zhang Rong hurried over and spread the imperial edict for Jiajing, grinding ink, and holding a pen!

Just after finishing writing, Lu Fang took Lu Bing and waited outside.

Lu Fang walked in.

"Let Lu Bing come in!" When Jiajing saw Lu Fang come in, he knew that Lu Bing was coming.

"Yes!" Lu Fang went out immediately.

"I will personally explain to Lu Bing, so you can stay in the north with peace of mind!" Jiajing said to Zhang Rong.

"I'm worried about the emperor!" Zhang Rong bowed his hand again and said.

Jiajing gave the imperial edict to Zhang Rong at this moment, and then walked to the platform.

"I have seen the emperor, long live my emperor!" Lu Bing knelt down.

"Wait a minute, you take Zhang Manzi away and take him to the Jinyiwei prison. Remember, if Zhang Manzi suffers a little grievance and suffers a little injury on his body, I will ask you. In addition, I have given him 50 taels of silver. What food he wants to buy? You arrange for someone to buy it. If you don't get it, you can do it yourself!" Jiajing sat on it and spoke.

Lu Bing felt a little depressed. He was not going to the Jinyiwei to go to jail. He was on a trip and he had to serve him!

"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Bing kowtowed and said.

Zhang Hao outside was thinking about why Jiajing was in charge of him, probably Ding Rukui was causing trouble.

Jiajing was to give Ding Rukui an explanation. It should be no big deal if he went to jail. But my father is guarding the north now. If he fights, will there be danger? I have to rely on my father now. I can't let him get into trouble. If it doesn't work, I have to find a way out!

After a while, Lu Bing asked the Jinyiwei to escort Zhang Hao to the Jinyiwei prison, but Zhang Hao still twisted two copper hammers over.

After Yan Shifan received this news, he immediately summoned his acquaintances in the Jinyiwei. Yan Shifan could not control Lu Bing, but he had a cooperative relationship and both sides used each other. Therefore, Yan Shifan had his own people to do things in the Jinyiwei.
