"Lord Jiang, it seems that your guards are not good enough! I'm afraid they can't protect me!”
Zhu Houjin's tone was very calm, but when Jiang Bin heard it, sweat began to drip down his forehead.
When Zhu Houjin had just transmigrated, he had trained for more than a month in Prince Xingxian's mansion with the help of the system. Due to the powerful functions of the system, Zhu Houzhen had been trained into a top expert of the Ming Dynasty in this month of training.
With Zhu Houzhen's martial arts, dealing with a few palace guards was nothing difficult.
Zhu Houzhen looked at Jiang Bin's nervous expression and sneered.
"However, when I was in Anlu, I heard that Lord Jiang was dedicated to the country and was conscientious. These guards must have been carefully selected by Lord Jiang. I will leave them behind!”
"Oh, thank you for the emperor's praise!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Bin saw that Zhu Houjiu had suppressed his face and thought that Zhu Houjiu would take the opportunity to make things difficult for him. However, who knew that Zhu Houjin would give Jiang Bin a way out in the blink of an eye and even comfort Jiang Bin with good words.
At this moment, Jiang Bin was very emotional in his heart. He thought to himself that this young emperor in front of him was indeed powerful. He used both kindness and might, making him, Jiang Bin, have no choice but to accept it. Just from this point alone, the ability of this young emperor before him far surpassed that of the previous Ming Wu Zong, Zhu Houzhao.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bin was instantly energized, and his attitude towards Zhu Houjin became even more respectful.
He now understood that this young emperor was definitely not a simple person. Before he could see the situation clearly, it was better for him to be a little polite to him.
Zhu Houzhen was very satisfied with Jiang Bin's change in attitude towards him. He knew that Jiang Bin had a lot of power in the court, and he couldn't touch him yet.
Earlier, Zhu Houjin had taught the guard a lesson to show Jiang Bin his might, and he had appeased Jiang Bin so that Jiang Bin would not rebel.
A carrot and a stick were indispensable. Zhu Houjiu had used this move to successfully subdue Jiang Bin, making Jiang Bin temporarily not dare to make a move on him.
"Alright, Lord Jiang, you can leave first! Zhen still has to read for a while!"
"Yes, yes, emperor, this lowly official will take his leave!”
When Jiang Bin came, he was aggressive, but now when he left, he was respectful to Zhu Houjin.
Zhu Houzhi had no one to rely on in the palace and started from scratch. He knew how to use any opportunity to increase his advantage.
This was the reason why he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to beat Jiang Bin.
After Jiang Bin left, Zhu Houjin looked at the remaining guards and could not help but sneer.
With just these few guards, you can still monitor me, Zhu Houjin? Dream on!
If Zhu Houjin wanted to deal with them, he had at least a hundred ways to deal with them.
However, there was no need for Zhu Houjin to act yet. What he needed to do now was to establish his prestige in the court and stabilize his position as the emperor.
……
When night came, the eunuchs told Zhu Houjiu to eat. After Zhu Houjiu agreed, the eunuchs sent the food to the Hall of Heaven Tribute and served Zhu Houjiu.
The imperial meals of the Ming Dynasty were definitely much more frugal than those of the Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Cixi ate more than 100 dishes. She only ate one bite of each dish and threw it away. However, the Emperor of Ming lived a more thrifty life.
Because of the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang, generally speaking, the Ming Emperor had twelve dishes for breakfast and twenty-four dishes for lunch. However, at night, it returned to twelve dishes. Moreover, the dishes were simple and not luxurious.
Of course, there were also some emperors who violated Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system and ate as much as they wanted. However, on the first day of Zhu Houzhen's reign as emperor, he would have to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system.
Although there were only 12 simple dishes, it was already very luxurious for Zhu Houzhen, who had transmigrated from the present. Moreover, these dishes were all made by the top chefs of Ming Dynasty. They tasted exceptionally delicious.
Even without chili, pepper, and other seasonings, the taste of these dishes was still very delicious. Zhu Houzhen ate his food and sighed in his heart that it was indeed good to be an emperor.
After eating dinner, Zhu Houzhen rested for a while and then followed the eunuch to report that it was time to review the memorials. Zhu Houjiu was led by the eunuch to the royal study and began to prepare to read the memorials.
Yang Tinghe and the others felt that Zhu Houjiu was still young and probably did not have the ability to read memorials. Therefore, they usually wrote down the way to deal with matters on the memorials, and Zhu Houjiu personally signed to indicate that it was approved.
However, they had underestimated Zhu Houzhen's ability. This 15-year-old boy, with the help of the system, had extraordinary insight and knowledge. His ability was enough to support the operation of the Great Ming Dynasty and allow it to develop smoothly and orderly.
With the help of the system, Zhu Houjin quickly began to read through the memorials.
From the payment of taxes and silver in various provinces to the management of the Yellow River flood, from the appointment and removal of officials to the formulation of diplomatic etiquette, Zhu Houyan handled it in an orderly manner.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
Just as Zhu Houjie was concentrating on reading the memorial, a eunuch outside came to report that Empress Dowager Zhang had arrived.
This Empress Dowager Zhang was actually the Empress of Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of seniority, she was actually Zhu Houzhen's cousin.
Zhu Houzhao was only in his thirties when he died, while Empress Dowager Zhang was only in her twenties. Although Empress Dowager Zhang didn't wear any makeup after Zhu Houzhao's death and wore plain clothes, it still couldn't hide her beauty.
This Empress Dowager Zhang was a rare beauty of the palace. It was indeed a pity to become the Empress Dowager at such a young age.
However, Zhu Houxin was not too interested in his cousin's wife.
"Emperor, you…you're correcting memorials?”
"Oh, yes!"
After Empress Dowager Zhang arrived, Zhu Houyan only greeted her according to etiquette and then continued to sit down to review the memorials.
"Emperor, you're wrong to do this! You have just entered the palace and are not very familiar with the state affairs. How can you casually correct the memorials?”
"Let Lord Yang and the others do these things. I think you should…"
After Empress Dowager Zhang entered the room, she couldn't wait to use her majesty to teach Zhu Houyao a lesson. But before she could finish her words, she saw Zhu Houyao raise his head and stare at her with a pair of bright eyes.
Empress Dowager Zhang saw Zhu Houxin's stern gaze and was immediately shocked. She quickly shut her mouth.
"Empress Dowager! I wonder if my Imperial Brother has said anything to you?”
"Hmm…what…what is it? Bengong doesn't understand the emperor's meaning!"
"It's very simple. This sentence is-the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!”
After Zhu Houjian finished speaking, a cold light flashed on his face. Empress Dowager Zhang felt the domineering aura from Zhu Houjian's body and was instantly frightened.
This…How could this be the aura of an emperor emitted by a 15-year-old youth?
