When he followed the way to Kunning Palace, he saw Empress Xu. Empress Xu smiled and waved to Hao Fenglou, saying, "I have already said everything I should say, so I won't say it." After that, he went to invite the prince and the king of Han.

Hao Fenglou saluted obediently and said, "My son, Hao Fenglou, have seen his mother."

King Zhu Gaoxu of Han interrupted: "It should be Zhu Fenglou."

Hao Fenglou burst into tears in an instant. He became a pig, but he was still fucked. He bit his lip, without saying a word, pretending not to hear anything.

Empress Xu was so smart that she saw through Hao Fenglou's meaning at once: "It's been agreed that we can't speak without trust. The surname Zhu is only included in the silver book, so there is no need to be so particular. Come and pour some tea for me."

Hao Fenglou was so amnesty that he said, "The Queen Mother is understanding." He stood up quickly, took the teacup from the palace maid, and obediently delivered it to Empress Xu.

Empress Xu took it, took a symbolic bite, then looked at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, and said to Hao Fenglou: "Go to pay homage to your two emperor brothers."

There is no need to kneel down and worship. Hao Fenglou bowed to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu and said, "I have met two emperor brothers."

Prince Zhu Gaochi smiled and nodded, which was a bit of a sense of meaning.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "No need to be polite."

Zhu Di had a tense face and naturally had to teach a lesson: "We must live in harmony in the future and never cause trouble. If anyone is provoking trouble, I will punish you strictly without mercy."

After recognizing his relatives, Zhu Di seemed to have something to explain, so he called Hao Fenglou to the side hall, then took out his short gun and said, "I have been thinking about this short gun for two hours, and finally know how to use it. However, filling the gunpowder is really cumbersome. I have to use the lead bullet with a small hammer. I have to use it for a long time to make a lot of trouble."

Hao Fenglou said: "Your... Father, although the charge is cumbersome, it can be fired five times at a time, which is a weapon of close combat. Ordinary battles and close combat can often be determined in just a moment of effort. Five times are enough. If it is not enough, Weichen has two solutions. One is to use a double gun, one is five times, and two is ten times. As long as it is not a fierce battle, it can almost meet the current needs. There is another way. It is to try to increase the bullet holes of the wheel, such as six times or seven times. This approach. Weichen believes that it is not enough for the time being. If the bullet holes are added, the lead bullet will have to be more slender, and the lethality is probably smaller."

Hao Fenglou said this with great sensation. Zhu Dihe nodded and said, "You are right. Double guns can indeed alleviate this problem. When the two sides contact each other, they can determine victory or defeat in a moment. Besides, I am a newbie. The loading is naturally not as skilled as the firearm team. In this way, this short gun is indeed a powerful weapon for rushing. I like it quite a lot. Your magic weapon is quite interesting. I just don't know if this short gun can produce more for personal troops?"

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "The long gun is OK, but the production of this short gun is not easy. The process is too complicated, and it also requires specialized lead bullets to be used. The cost is also very large. Moreover, there is room for improvement in the future. Now mass production is time-consuming and labor-intensive, I am afraid..."

When Zhu Di heard this, he said, "I understand, I'm just asking. Short guns are really interesting. For the time being, let your musket team practice first, improve them while practicing tactics, and then consider them when the national treasury is abundant in the future."

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "It would be better for the father to understand the difficulties of the empress."

Zhu Di pondered, "Is there a person named Zeng Jian among your subordinates? The night before yesterday, he made a lot of contributions. I have an impression of him. I also heard that he was a hero of Jingnan. It was not easy. The Beizhen Prefecture Office has already reported his meritorious service and plans to mention him as the deputy Qianhu. What do you want?"

Hao Fenglou had long disliked the deputy Zhu, who was in a state of corpse, and had always wanted to send this guy away. Zeng Jian has always been his right hand, so he said hurriedly: "If Zeng Jian knew that his father favored him so much, he would be very grateful."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then this matter will be settled. I will follow Ji Gang's memorial. As for your firearm team, you have outstanding achievements, and I cannot treat you very much. All those who participated in the fight against the rebellion will be recommended as lieutenants. Also, your master's temple has basically been almost built. I will reward you with that place. If you have time, you can go and see it."

Hao Fenglou was overjoyed, but he calculated that it had been almost half a year since he had passed. Although the Ministry of Works complained every now and then, Zhu Di did not dare to neglect what he ordered, but he was still honest. Hao Fenglou said, "Your Majesty is so kind, I am so grateful to me."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "You guy, you say these words again. I feel comfortable listening to them, but why do you say them so falsely? Forget it, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day. Anyway, I have free time now. I will take you to Zijin Mountain to see tomorrow. I haven't been there for a long time to liven up my muscles and bones. I just think it's going out to the city for an outing."

Zhu Di was originally a person who couldn't sit still, otherwise he would not have run to Beiping every few days in history. After becoming an emperor, he led his troops to sweep the desert repeatedly, which made Bei Yuan burst into tears. Hao Fenglou agreed happily and said, "This is great. With the acceptance of the father, the Ministry of Works will cut corners at that time, so that the ministers will not have any disputes with them."

After making an appointment, Hao Fenglou was unable to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye.

Zheng He was waiting for him, bowed and congratulated him, and said, "Senior Brother, now..."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "There is no need to flatter this, and there is no need to congratulate you. We brothers, there is no need to be so distant, and there is not so much falsehood."

Zheng He smiled and said, "This is true, so I won't say more, but I just saw His Royal Highness moving to the East Palace, and he seemed very unhappy."

Hao Fenglou frowned and said, "What else did you find out?"

Zheng He lowered his voice and said, "There is a eunuch who is closer to me in the East Palace. He owes a lot of gambling debts outside, and I secretly teaches people to pay it back for him. Today, he was on duty in front of the prince and revealed that he was the son of the moth..."

Hao Fenglou's face suddenly became cold and he said lightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince seems to be really unhappy."

Zheng He said with a solemn expression: "Senior brother, be careful."

Hao Fenglou patted his shoulder and said, "I understand naturally, you should be careful too."

This sentence is full of profound meaning. Zheng He is too loyal to him. Hao Fenglou believes that Zheng He is a very smart person. He must have his arrangements if he can gain a foothold in the palace. For example, he has his eyesight in the East Palace. I think almost all eunuchs will have this trick. But setting eyesight is one thing, and it is another to say it. For people like Zheng He, the arrangement of eyesight should be used to avoid risks, not to spy on other things. After all, such risks are very high, and if a bad thing is involved, it may involve his life and life. Now, Zheng He even shook all the things about eyesight to himself, which shows that Zheng He really regarded himself as his brother.

In this era, relationships are often valued, such as the relationship between teachers and students and classmates. Hao Fenglou is not suitable for such relationships. For example, everyone says that he should serve his teacher as a father, but Hao Fenglou may not have such thoughts when dealing with his mentor. As for this junior brother, he originally only regarded him as a "classmate", but gradually, he gradually felt Zheng He's many protections for him, and his mentality also changed.

"Don't spy on the prince easily anymore. This matter is too important. After all, it is the Eastern Palace. Others have known about your relationship with me for a long time. I think the prince's side is also wary of you, so you should protect yourself now and not act rashly." Hao Fenglou gave instructed and left the palace.

However, as soon as he got home, Hao Wu brought a famous post and said, "Young Master, Liu Mao, the head of the Ministry of Works, asked for a meeting."

"Liu Mao..." Hao Fenglou looked at the famous sect and then threw it aside. He didn't know him. He was a military position, he was a civilian position, and he did not interfere with the river. Why did he come to visit?

Hao Wu said: "The person has been invited in and arranged to be in the small hall. Should the young master go and see him or invite him here?"

In fact, Hao Fenglou has always been resentful to these civil servants. These civil servants knew that they would carry the sedan chair to the prince. The prince scolded him behind his back, and although he was just venting, Hao Fenglou was always unhappy when he heard this. He said coldly: "Call him here to talk."

When Hao Fenglou came over, this showed respect for the guests. If you directly ask someone to come to Hao Fenglou to speak, you will be negligent.

But Hao Fenglou doesn’t care. If you offend him, you will offend him. So what can you do?

Hao Wu didn't dare to say anything, so he hurried to inform him, and immediately brought an official in.

The man was about thirty years old, with a fair face, wearing an official uniform and a black hat. It can be seen that this man's serious outfit was obviously for official business.

He didn't feel that he had been neglected, or at least he didn't show it on his face. After coming in, he smiled at Hao Fenglou and said, "It's really abrupt to visit."

Hao Fenglou asked Hao Wu to pour tea and said, "The word "absurd" is really serious. The adults are willing to come to the fore. It is too late for the Hao family to be happy and cheerful. Please sit down quickly."

This is naturally just a normal politeness, and no one takes it seriously.

On the famous sect, the head of the Ministry of Works was Zhou Yang. Even from the famous sect, there was no sign of it. Hao Fenglou had to slowly knock on the other side and said, "I just don't know what Lord Zhou is doing?"
