Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 74 Unqualified
Night falls.

The terrifying general Ling Luoshi only temporarily lived in the Gyeonggi mansion with more than a dozen of his deputies.

Although he has been stationed at the border all year round, his family and some relatives still stay in the capital, where he also lives.

However, when Ling Luoshi entered Beijing this time, the more than 2000 soldiers he brought were all stationed in the hunting grounds in the western suburbs.

In the hall, candles flickered.

Ling Luoshi sat in his seat, his complexion changed very deeply.

At this time, a deputy hurried up and said to Ling Luoshi: "General, I will see your majesty about the day's affairs."

Ling Luoshi quickly waved his hand to signal him not to continue talking, and that deputy quickly shut his mouth.

"Remember, don't talk too much about today's matter in the future. Those who disobey the order will be executed!"

"Although this emperor is young, he is a real dragon emperor, and he is scheming, with a deep heart."

Just a few words showed the shock in Ling Luoshi's heart.This Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty, it was his first contact, but he did not expect that the first meeting gift to him was so generous, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

The deputy who followed Ling Luoshi had never seen Ling Luoshi so surprised.

"General, I..., I mean, have we been wandering around the capital all this time?"

Ling Luoshi nodded slightly, looked at his deputy and said, "Well, let's take a look around first! It's just a good time to understand the current situation in the capital. We have been stationed at the border all year round, but we are lagging behind in many places."

After hearing this, the deputy hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I obey you, I will arrange this matter."

"Well, remember, the soldiers inside and outside the city should not make any movements, do not clash with any soldiers, let alone lead troops into Beijing without authorization."

"Yes, I will obey the general's orders!"

Ling Luoshi waved his hand, signaling him to leave the hall for the time being.

In the huge hall, Ling Luoshi stood alone with his hands behind his back, his deep complexion looked even deeper under the reflection of the candlelight.

I think back then, when Emperor Hongzhi was in power, he personally defeated a thousand troops to kill the invading enemies, and achieved his fame for the rest of his life.

It also bought precious time for the assembly of the Ming army. In the following battles, he always took the lead and was not afraid of death. Although he was ugly, he left the impression of being brave and fearless to the enemy.

Wherever you go, you will make the enemy frightened.

And the title of this terrifying general was conferred by His Majesty himself!

Today, in front of the new emperor, he felt unprecedented pressure.

If you say that you are a mountain top, then your Majesty is a giant pillar of the sky, firmly suppressing yourself.

With such thoughts in mind, Ling Luoshishi looked more solemn than ever, and said softly, "What kind of emperor is he?"

"Could it be that the rumors in the army are all false these years? Or is it an illusion left by His Majesty?"

"If that's the case, isn't the city of the emperor too deep?"

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair.

After a while, Cao Zhengchun hurried in, bowed and said to Zhu Houzhao, "I see Your Majesty!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Cao Aiqing, what happened to the matter I ordered you to investigate?"

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the terrifying General Ling Luoshi only led four lieutenants to station in the capital, and the rest of the soldiers were all stationed at the hunting grounds in the western suburbs!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Although this terrifying general looks ugly, his heart is as delicate as a hair, which is really rare!"

"Pass down my will, quickly order the Shenji Battalion to retreat!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Cao Zhengchun lowered his face, and replied respectfully to Zhu Houzhao.

In fact, the emperor had already started to make arrangements for General Horror before he entered the capital. This was the reason why the capital was under martial law before.

This is only one reason, on the other hand, Zhu Houzhao made firearms secretly, in order to be able to deter the terrifying general Ling Luoshi.

If he brought all his two thousand soldiers and horses into the capital when he entered the capital, then tonight might be his death day.

But Ling Luoshi was not a fool, he had already inquired about Zhu Houzhao's martial law in the capital as early as he was on his way to Beijing, so he had some thoughts, if he sent a spy to Beijing and asked about the emperor's layout, wouldn't it be more troublesome.

The 2000 people stationed in the western suburbs not only saved their lives, but more importantly, they also saved Ling Luoshi's own life.Although he has military merits in the establishment of Ming Dynasty, he also knows that the master of the war is so high that it has been the same throughout the ages.

The smartest way is to give all of this to others. You must know that you are able to have all of this, and it is not thanks to His Majesty?
Live examples are right in front of you, aren't they all disarmed and returned to the fields?
Although Ling Luoshi is proud, he is not a fool. In the face of life and death, he is capable of being the top ten generals.

The next day.

Ling Luoshi walked alone on the streets of the capital. Compared to yesterday, Ling Luoshi had already changed into ordinary clothes. Even so, he couldn't hide his majestic face and inner strength.

Although he no longer had the arrogance of the past, many people noticed him because of his appearance.

After the banquet, Zhu Houzhao allowed Ling Luoshi to walk anywhere in the capital. Of course, he also wanted to feel the changes in the capital over the years.

The government office of the Ministry of Industry.

Li Suide is arranging government affairs for officials.

A yamen servant walked up quickly, bowed and said to Li Suide: "My lord, there is a man outside who claims to be Ling Luoshi, who came to see him."

"Ling Luoshi? The terrifying general?"

Li Suide's face was startled, a little unbelievable, Ling Luoshi would act so low-key?

Although Ling Luoshi's arrogance was suppressed by the emperor yesterday, he still has the status of a general after all, which was conferred by Emperor Hongzhi himself.

"Please come in!"

Not long after, Ling Luoshi walked in under the guidance of the yamen servant.

When Li Suide saw Ling Luoshi's plain clothes, his expression froze for a moment, and he couldn't help asking: "I don't know that the general is here, but I'm not far away to welcome you. Dare I ask the general what's the matter?"

Ling Luoshi smiled slightly, and said: "Master Shang Shu, you don't have to be polite. I came here this time, just looking around casually, and it's nothing serious."

"Just to experience the changes in the Ministry of Industry in Beijing over the past few years."

Hearing this, Li Suide couldn't help but think of the emperor's arrangement in his heart, so he nodded with a smile and said, "That's okay, it just so happens that I have nothing to do for the time being, so I can accompany the general around."

"Well, thank you." Ling Luoshi cupped his hands and thanked him.

For two whole days, Ling Luoshi spent in the government office of the Ministry of Industry, and all kinds of weapons emerged one after another, which made Ling Luoshi dumbfounded.

He once again saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty, especially when he saw that they were building a warship larger than the one used by Zheng He today, Ling Luoshi felt that the current emperor was stronger than the former Emperor Hongzhi. hundred times.

Besides, he is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy!
"If this warship is equipped with a new style of artillery, it will be even more powerful."

After hearing this, Li Suide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, shook his head and said, "This new type of firearm is certainly powerful, but with this warship, it is really not qualified!"

"what?"

After hearing this, Ling Luoshi stood there dumbfounded. He never dreamed that such an advanced weapon was not qualified to be equipped on a warship?Could it be that Daming has an even more powerful national weapon?
For a while, Ling Luoshi stood there, even breathing a lot faster.
