A few of the East Chamber foreigners fixed Zhou Huaian's legs to the wall, and they drove black iron nails into the soles of his feet…
Zhou Huaian could no longer bend his knees.
Chen Hong drove the three-foot-long steel nail into Zhou Huaian's hands and feet.
If Zhou Huaian was caught by the Ministry of Justice, he would not be able to bear these crimes.
However, it was the East Chamber who had captured him.
From the moment he fell into the hands of the East Chamber, he was destined to have a bad fate.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for daring to assassinate the current emperor!”
There was already a sack full of memorials to impeach Chen Hong, and now they were piled up like a mountain.
Even if Chen Hong managed to capture all the assassins who tried to assassinate Tian Zi.
If the truth of this case was revealed through interrogation, he would also be held responsible.
Because the assassination of the Emperor was the East Chamber's dereliction of duty…
Zhou Huaian had sneaked into the palace, but the East Chamber had been kept in the dark. This was the greatest dereliction of duty!
Chen Hong's hatred for Zhou Huaian had long filled the heavens!
He would not let Zhou Huaian die so easily. He wanted to torture him.
Chen Hong wanted Zhou Huaian to know the consequences of assassinating the Emperor…
"I could have been Duke Xiaoyao, who was above everyone else and only below one person.”
"It's you, Zhou Huaian! You destroyed all my dreams!"
He had a cold expression on his face.
If Chen Hong lost his power, then he, Yu Huatian, would be the most powerful person in the East Hall…
——
Inside Yangxin Hall.
Moreover, he promised Tian Zi that as long as he had enough money, he would allow Qi Jiguang to develop cannons.
He guaranteed that the artillery would be able to form a certain scale and combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
They would become an existence that was not inferior to the Gun Battalion of the Imperial Guards.
Moreover, Qi Jiguang hoped that Zhu Zaihou would let him retrain the navy.
The reason why the pirates were so rampant was because they were extremely good at water warfare.
The Ming Empire's navy was very powerful, especially those ships. The level of shipbuilding was very high.
It was a pity that the national treasury did not allocate any money and left those ships in the docks to be infested with insects…
If the Ming Navy still had its dignity, which pirates would dare to take half a step into the coastal defense of Ming?
Moreover, the giant ship could be equipped with several thousand jin of city defense cannons.
This kind of cannon was extremely powerful. If it could walk freely on the sea, it would be no less than a mobile cannon!
In Qi Jiguang's view, only a strong ship and sharp cannons could completely stop the Japanese bandits!
Most of the pirates now used merchant ships.
That kind of merchant ship only needed one shot to sink!
Zhu Zaihou listened to Qi Jiguang's suggestion and nodded secretly.
The tentacles of the west had already touched the east, and the Franc Mechs had already built sharp cannons.
It wouldn't take long for them to build the steel warship.
If he still pretended to be asleep, he would really be going against the times…
"Qi Jiguang will train troops at Tanggu Harbor from today onwards and help me revive the magnificence of the Ming Navy!!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Qi Jiguang knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He actually cried loudly, tears continuously pouring out.
After so many years, there was finally someone who supported him!
Moreover, he was the current emperor!
"Get up, I still need you to help me conquer the Wei pirates!”
"But you will meet a strong opponent there.”
"Who is it? Your Majesty, please explain."
"Nobunaga."
"This lowly subject understands. This lowly subject will lead the mighty Great Ming Navy and use cannons to tell them of the wrath of the Celestial Empire!”
……
Zhu Zaihou rewarded Li Chengliang with a fourth-grade official title, promoted him to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and granted him the title of General of Peking University.
After Qi Jiguang left.
Zhu Zaihou lay on the dragon bed and felt the unprecedented silence in the Forbidden City.
Although Zhu Zaihou was very quiet.
The East and West Chambers arrested many martial artists overnight.
These martial artists were unable to resist and were detained…
"I'm really a little tired after a day.”
Zhu Zaihou lay on the bed and began to fall asleep…
——
The next day, a eunuch called out softly,"
"Your Majesty, are we going to the morning court today?"
"Zhen is even tired. I won't be able to attend the morning court today!”
Zhu Zaihou had not attended court for three days.
But even if Zhu Zaihou didn't attend court, he didn't delay the government affairs.
If there was an emergency, the cabinet chief Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng would come to Yangxin Palace Hall to report on the daily affairs of the empire.
——
After Qi Jiguang left, he ordered the soldiers that followed him to head to Tanggu Port.
With the emperor's decree, he could finally show his ambition!
