Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 69 The Pilgrimage to the Western Suburbs
Suwen Cao Zhengchun has practiced the Tiangang Boy Kung Fu and the Vajra Body Protecting Kung Fu, and he has already reached the state of great success.

In terms of strength, he has long been on par with him, a master trained on war horses.

Now, Cao Zhengchun came to greet him alone, and his intentions inevitably made people think deeply.

Just when Ling Luoshi was thinking like this, Cao Zhengchun quickly appeared in front of the army.

Ling Luoshi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Director Cao came in person, which really surprised me a bit!"

Cao Zhengchun also hurriedly dismounted and said with a soft smile: "General, I'm overly praised. It's really hard for General to guard important border towns."

"It's reasonable for the governor to come here in person!"

"Hahaha!"

Ling Luoshi and Cao Zhengchun laughed at the sky at the same time.

"Governor Cao, where is Your Majesty?" Ling Luoshi was a seasoned man after all, and asked with a sharp tone after laughing, his expression turned cold.

Cao Zhengchun's expression froze for a moment, and he suddenly understood Zhu Houzhao's previous arrangement.

Ling Luoshi has been stationed at the border all year round and has formed an army of his own. He has long since become arrogant and developed a domineering character.

He was afraid that he would enter the palace today to face the saint, but he had ulterior motives. He wanted to check whether His Majesty had grasped the real power of Daming since he ascended the throne.

It's no wonder His Majesty made such an arrangement before.

However, Cao Zhengchun had already developed the ability to be good at obedience and disobedience, and to keep his emotions and anger silent. Before Ling Luoshi asked, he had already understood the other party's intentions.

"General, Your Majesty has already led all the civil and military officials to wait in the hunting ground in the western suburbs."

"Your Majesty, by the way, is here to help the General. General, please quickly come with me to meet the Emperor!"

Hearing the words, Ling Luoshi showed joy on his cheeks, nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, please trouble Governor Cao."

"You are welcome, General! Please!"

Under the guidance of Cao Zhengchun, Ling Luoshi led the team towards the west of Beijing.

Western Suburbs Hunting Ground.

Zhu Houzhao was under the tent on the high platform, waiting calmly,

All civil and military officials on the left and right were discussing in low voices, and they had indescribable helplessness and expectations for this terrifying general in their hearts.

These ministers all have a doubt in their hearts, that is, how did the emperor who killed and killed decisively become so talkative today?

All of a sudden, many ministers looked at the emperor on the high platform in unison.

When all the officials saw His Majesty's confident expression with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, they were all startled, as if they had found a kind of confidence from the bottom of their hearts.

Is it?

Hundreds of officials had many thoughts in their hearts, but they had already let go of the arrival of this terrifying general, at least there were not many killings and bloodshed.

His Majesty is so calm, he must have his own way of dealing with it.

Coupled with His Majesty's vague expression, the General will probably suffer a lot when he comes from a long way this time.

Just as all the civil and military officials were thinking wildly, a burst of trumpets sounded outside.

"The terrifying general has arrived!"

After the voice fell, all civil and military officials looked towards the place where the voice came out.

At the huge passageway, the terrifying general Ling Luoshi was alone, dressed in military uniform, walking towards Zhu Houzhao majesticly.

The aura of rising without wind shocked all the court officials from afar.

Even some ministers who have done something wrong have already changed their faces in fright.

"Your terrified general Ling Luoshi, kowtow to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"General Ling, flatten your body!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Ling Luoshi stood up, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to him: "The general is stationed at the border all year round to protect the safety of the people of our Ming Dynasty. His hard work is very meritorious."

"Today the general returned to Beijing to report on his duties. I am very happy!"

Hearing this, Ling Luoshi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is really the duty of the minister, and the minister should do so!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and said loudly: "Today the general returns to Beijing to report on his duties. I specially prepared a good program for you. The general will accompany me to watch the program!"

The terrifying general Ling Luoshi was overjoyed when he heard this.

He never expected that although His Majesty was so young, he really valued him so much.

Of course, because of this, Ling Luoshi had an arrogant temper deep in his heart.

However, when he saw the strange eyes of the military officials in North Korea and Chinese looking at him, he felt a little suspicious in his heart.

Why don't these people look like they want to watch a show?

Could it be that His Majesty's show is really for me?

right!It must be so.

I have been stationed at the border all year round and hold heavy troops, so it is only natural that His Majesty treats me accordingly.

When Ling Luoshi thought this way, his tone was unavoidably anxious.

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction, looked at Li Suide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and said majesticly: "So, Li Aiqing, hurry up and prepare!"

Li Suide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, hurried forward, clasped his hands and replied to Zhu Houzhao: "I obey the order!"

Just after Li Suide left, a faint smile appeared on his cheek.

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of His Majesty's decree that day.

The [-] new firecrackers and [-] cannons prepared were for the purpose of intimidating the terrifying general Ling Luoshi.

In his opinion, all the emperor's careful preparations must be because he has a lot of soldiers in his hands.

However, as far as Ling Luoshi was concerned, he had nothing to worry about.

Because he was the late emperor's survivor and the head of the top ten generals.With one hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, as long as he gives an order, he can come at any time if he wants someone's head.

When Li Suide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was busy getting ready, Ling Luoshi and Zhu Houzhao sat at the front.

Even Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the current cabinet, he didn't pay attention to.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was no movement. Ling Luoshi secretly noticed it in his heart, but he always felt that His Majesty cared for him.

Besides, what can such a yellow-haired kid do to him?
"I don't know what program His Majesty has prepared to open your eyes?"

Ling Luoshi asked curiously. From his point of view, although this hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing was not comparable to his camp, it still had some fun in it.

As a general, he also likes this unfettered life.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, General, and wait for the Minister of Industry's money."

"I'm sure the general will like it!"

With Zhu Houzhao's words, not only did Ling Luoshi's curiosity not decrease, but it made him look forward to His Majesty's program even more.

A quarter of an hour later, the figure of Li Suide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, appeared in everyone's sight.

I saw him coming to Zhu Houzhao respectfully, bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have made all the preparations, Your Majesty, please move over!"

"Move?"

The terrifying general Ling Luoshi was surprised, and couldn't help looking at the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to Ling Luoshi, and got up first and said: "My dear friends, since the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has made arrangements, you can go and have a look with me!"

When all the officials heard the words, they all bowed and said: "I will obey the order!"

Seeing this, Ling Luoshi, the terrifying general, could only suppress the doubts in his heart, and followed Zhu Houzhao to the prepared place.
