After Zhu Houjiu and Lu Bing brought Fang Qi back to the palace, Zhu Houjiu returned to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute and asked Lu Bing to bring Fang Qi to freshen up.
After a while, when Zhu Houjin was studying in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Lu Bing came back alone.
"Hmm, why are you alone? Where's Fang Qi?”
"She, ah, I asked the palace maid to bring her to wash up and change her clothes. She will come over later!”
"Mm, alright!"
Zhu Houzhen closed the book in his hand and placed it on the table. He then waved his hand to signal the eunuchs to leave.
"Lu Bing, I have something I need you to do!”
"En, if the emperor has anything to say, just say it. Whether it's going up a mountain of blades or going down a sea of fire, I will not say anything!”
"Hehe, of course it's not that troublesome. In fact, this one wants you to select some new people from the Embroidered Uniform Guards and train them into your own private armed force. Do you understand what this one is saying?”
"Yes, I understand!"
Lu Bing and Zhu Houjiu had a very good relationship, and both sides had a very high level of tacit understanding. At this moment, Lu Bing understood what Zhu Houjiu meant.
Right now, the power of the civil officials in the court was in the hands of Yang Tinghe, while the armed forces in the palace were led by Jiang Bin.
Although Zhu Houjin had established his prestige among the ministers after entering the court and managing the government during this period of time, and his position as the emperor was much more secure, this was still not enough.
If Zhu Houjin wanted to fight with Jiang Bin and Yang Tinghe, he would have to have his own private armed forces. Yang Tinghe and Jiang Bin were not people who would surrender without a fight. Zhu Houjin trained his private armed forces to prevent any accidents.
If the situation was really out of control and a palace coup occurred, Zhu Houyi would have his own armed forces to compete with Yang Tinghe and Jiang Bin, and seize power in the palace through bloody slaughter.
After Lu Bing understood what Zhu Houjin meant, he was very excited.
"Emperor, do you want to make a move on Jiang Bin or Yang Tinghe?”
"Hey, how can it be that fast!"
Zhu Houjin rolled his eyes at Jiang Bin and said,""These two people are very strong. We can't touch them yet. However, I killed a few of Jiang Bin's trusted aides on the street today. I feel that Jiang Bin will not let this go, so you should train your armed forces as soon as possible to prevent any accidents!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"
Lu Bing replied solemnly,"The emperor's meaning is that Jiang Bin dares to assassinate you?”
"Hehe, Jiang Bin doesn't have the guts to assassinate you now, and he won't dare to do it again. However, Jiang Bin will do something out of line to threaten Zhen. In short, we need to have our own armed forces as soon as possible!”
"Alright, emperor, I understand. Leave it to me!”
In the Ming court, there was no armed force that was stronger than the Embroidered Uniform Guards. As long as Zhu Houzhi had a troop of elite Jinyiwei soldiers, he could stand up straight in the palace and confront Yang Tinghe and Jiang Bin.
Zhu Houjin was very confident in Lu Bing's ability. He believed that Lu Bing would do a good job in this matter.
Haha, Yang Tinghe, Jiang Bin, let's just wait and see.
I will get rid of you step by step and seize power. I will become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who is under one person and above ten thousand people.
This day was not far away.
……
After Fang Qi returned to her female form and changed into a set of palace robes, she was led to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute by a palace maid.
When Fang Qi appeared in front of Zhu Houjin and Lu Bing, they were stunned. They could not believe that the girl in front of them was Fang Qi.
When Fang Qi was dressed in men's clothing, she was already extremely beautiful. Now that she had recovered her female body, she was simply a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. She was so beautiful that she could not be compared to others.
At this moment, Fang Qi was a little shy, perhaps because she was not used to wearing palace clothes. She looked shy and cute, and her pretty face was a little red, making her look even more charming.
"Uh, I didn't expect her to look so good after dressing up!”
"That's right, I…I didn't expect her to be so beautiful in person. I reckon that there's no girl in the palace who's more beautiful than her!”
After Zhu Houyao and Lu Bing reacted, Zhu Houyao hurriedly pushed Lu Bing, signaling him to leave quickly.
Lu Bing complained in his heart, thinking, I still want to see beautiful women! However, Zhu Houjiu was the emperor, so he could only leave with the eunuchs and serving girls who had just entered, leaving only Zhu Houjiu and Fang Qi in the room.
"Uh, not bad, not bad!"
Zhu Houzhen stood up from his chair and walked around Fang Qi.
Fang Qi blushed and pulled up her long dress. She smiled charmingly and said,""How is it? Does this lady look beautiful in this dress?”
"Tsk tsk, not only is she beautiful, she's simply stunning! Fang Qi, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful in person. I really misjudged you this time!”
"Hehe, of course!"
Fang Qi snorted with her delicate little nose, looking as if she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Zhu Houyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this. At this moment, she was intoxicated by her own beauty and did not notice that Zhu Houjin's self-address had changed from "I" to "Zhen".
"Mm, good, good!"
After walking around Fang Qi, Zhu Houzhen returned to his chair and sat down. He picked up his book and continued reading.
"Eh? Your house is quite big. I thought only the imperial palace would be so big!”
"Um…"
When Zhu Houzhen heard Fang Qi's words, he immediately felt a headache. He wondered how he should explain this problem.
"Fang Qi, you are the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Have you never entered the palace?”
"Definitely not! When I was still young, my father was sent away by Yang Tinghe. I grew up in a foreign country. This is my first time in Beijing!”
"Oh, I see. Then I don't blame you, I don't blame you!”
At this moment, a eunuch requested to come in to serve tea. Zhu Houjin agreed and let the eunuch in.
Fang Qi stared at the eunuch with interest for a while. After the eunuch left, Fang Qi said,""Your servant is quite strange. His voice is so sharp, like a eunuch!”
"Uh…Well, he's a eunuch…"
"What is it? Could it be that there were eunuchs in the capital's wangye residence?”
"Um, about that…"
Zhu Houzhen couldn't help but scratch his head. He thought to himself that it seemed that he should quickly clarify this matter, lest this girl make a fool of herself again.
"Fang Qi, I have to tell you that the prince's manor doesn't usually keep eunuchs. Only the royal palace has eunuchs…So, I'm sorry, but this is actually the royal palace, do you understand?”
