Three days later, Zhu Xu's carriage swayed out of the palace.

Zhu Xu sat in the carriage and said shakingly, "Old Cao, keep a close eye on it, don't let someone follow you again."

"It's Your Highness."

Cao Wenzhao drove the car, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and looked back from time to time to judge whether anyone was following him.

“It would be much more convenient if there was a mirror.”

Zhu Xu looked at Cao Wenzhao's very hard-working appearance, held his chin and said thoughtfully to himself.

After a while, Zhu Xu asked again, "Has Feng Zhu left the palace?"

Cao Wenzhao took the opportunity to look back and said, "He has left the palace in front of us. I will have to wait for Wei Liangqing to go."

Zhu Xu had a slightly slight head. If he had talked faster, he might be able to catch up.

After a long time, Zhu Xu said, "Is anyone following me?"

Cao Wenzhao looked a little strange and hesitated, "Your Highness, it's hard to be sure that someone is following us from time to time, but not the one who came out of the palace."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and knew that, as a smart person as his fifth brother, since he knew that he had discovered the stalking, he probably thought of other ways, such as cross-tracking in segments.

Zhu Xu smiled and said in a bad mood, "Find a corner and let me get out of the car, and then you drive the car and take them around the Forbidden City. You can't say that the fifth brother is waiting for me somewhere. You can find a chance to block their view and enter a brothel, so that they feel that I have also entered, and go back tonight."

Cao Wenzhao was stunned and did not object, saying, "Your Highness, what should you do?"

"It's okay. I'll ask my uncle to send me a carriage," Zhu Xu said with a smile: "But next time, get a few more carriages outside the palace and let them take them to have fun."

Cao Wenzhao immediately knew what Zhu Xu was thinking and said with a smile: "Okay, I will make arrangements when I go back tonight, so there is no need to worry that the people of His Highness, the King of Kings, cannot keep up."

Not long after, the carriage stopped at a corner, and Cao Wenzhao hurriedly said, "Your Highness, hurry up!"

Zhu Xu jumped out of the carriage like a small whirlwind, and then hid behind the wall.

Cao Wenzhao immediately beat the horse and quickly walked the carriage for a while and then slowed down, as if exactly the same as before.

After a while, a person wearing gray cloth clothes appeared where Zhu Xu got off the carriage, looked at the carriage from afar, and quickly chased after him.

Zhu Xu walked out when he couldn't hear his footsteps. He stood around the corner, looked at the man's back, smiled slightly, sorted out his clothes, and turned around to walk towards a teahouse not far away.

"uncle."

Zhu Xu pushed open the door and said to Fu Changzong who was drinking tea.

Fu Changzong quickly stood up and closed the door, saying with a worried look on his face: "Why are you so late today? I thought you couldn't come."

Zhu Xu has always been unmovable, and she is young and has a very weak body. She walked in, wiped her sweat, sat down and poured herself a cup of tea, and said, "Brother Xin Wang probably has suspicious of me, and has been sending people to follow me recently."

Fu Changzong already knew about this, and was silent for a while, looking up and said, "Well, I was followed when I came, but I was sent away."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry about Brother Xin's affairs for now, let's talk about the things on the mountain."

Fu Changzong was turned on and quickly picked up a package from under the table and said, "This is one I took from Bi Maokang in the name that the emperor wanted to see. You can take a look first."

Fu Changzong untied it and saw a black guy who was even longer than him, very similar to the flintlock rifle in modern times.

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it, touched it with both hands, and looked over and over again. Obviously, this was just a semi-finished product, and many things were not welded.

Seeing that Zhu Xu had been looking through for a long time, Fu Changzong's brows became tighter and tighter, and couldn't help but say, "How is it, are you what you want?"

Zhu Xu shook his head, put the thing on the table, and looked at it, "This is a bird gun coming from the Japanese pirates, and it won't be much improved."

Fu Changzong didn't hate these strange tricks and tricks, but he couldn't say he liked them. He paused and said, "Then, what kind of thing do you want?"

Zhu Xu carefully recalled the flintlock rifle of later generations, but he really had no impression, because he was a major in archaeology and was not a weapon enthusiast.

"In this way, uncle" Zhu Xu said: "You tell Bi Maokang that it is very troublesome to use bird guns nowadays. My requirements are very simple. Soldiers are divided into two or three rows. One row is fired, squat down and fill the bullets, and the other row is standing up and firing. This is repeated. Nowadays, bird guns are troublesome to fill the bullets, and it will be over after rain. The most important thing is that the range is long."

In fact, Zhu Xu wanted to use a flintlock rifle to deal with the Manchu cavalry. With the current military system of the Ming Dynasty, relying on Shanhaiguan, he could only defend the enemy and had no ability to counterattack at all.

The combination of red cannon flintlock rifle and bunker tunnel barbed wire mesh will be a nightmare for the cavalry.

Fu Changzong naturally didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, so he carefully wrote down his words, and then said, "Okay, I understand. This is what you want." As he said that, he took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu opened it and saw, especially the big red seal of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue behind, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle, have you lost your money this time?"

Fu Changzong's expression remained unchanged and looked at him and said, "I just invited him to drink wine. This seal was secretly stamped by me."

"What?"

Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong with a surprised look. Did he know that this uncle has always been timid and afraid of things. When did he become so bold?

Fu Changzong picked up a cup of tea, looked up at Zhu Xu before drinking it and said, "You can't let him discover it, you can get it back after using it."

If Zhu Xu was drinking tea, he would definitely criticize Fu Changzong for his face. This was destroyed after using it. Will there be no evidence of death?

Is this still the cautious uncle?

But he immediately felt aroused. If Fu Changzong was indeed capable, shouldn’t he be wasted in the position of the head of the Ministry of Revenue?

After thinking about it, Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong and tentatively said, "Uncle, do you want to move?"

Fu Changzong was stunned and quickly realized Zhu Xu's meaning, and he couldn't help but frown. He sat down in the past few years and had great experience. He thought it was okay to be promoted to the minister. But in the end he shook his head and said, "My identity is not suitable for being an official, so it will be conspicuous if it is promoted again. Moreover, this is good, and there are not so many people pay attention to it. It is convenient to do things for you."

Zhu Xu, a natural person, heard the unwillingness in Fu Changzong's words, but he also agreed with his words.

The Ming Dynasty was extremely strict with the vassal kings, relatives and royal family. Although Fu Changzong was almost transparent among the Ming Dynasty's foreign relatives, he was considered to be powerless and powerless. However, strictly speaking, he was also the wife and uncle of Emperor Taichang, and the uncle of the country, and was already eye-catching in the position of the head of the Ministry of Revenue.

However, after all, Emperor Taichang and Zhu Xu's mother had passed away. Zhu Xu, a vassal king, still lives in the palace at the age of seven. It is considered that Emperor Tianqi's care and favor for the helpless Zhu Xu, and he will not pursue it too much in the inside and outside.

But if it is placed in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it is probably impossible for Fu Changzong to impeach "external relatives interfere in politics, which violates the ancestral system", and Zhu Xu and even the mother who had passed away would soon come true.

Zhu Xu nodded, and did not mention this matter again. He also told Fu Changzong about the money house. Fu Changzong had been working in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, so he naturally mentioned a lot, but he warned him more.
