My father is Jiajing

Chapter 426 The Great Devil Zhu San

"In front of Qimuge is the Ming Dynasty's Datong. When Brother Tuotuo was still alive, he fought in Caogu here and killed two generals of the Ming Dynasty."

Zamusu told Qimuge in the carriage a story from long ago. Qimuge stuck his head out of the carriage and said, "I remember when I was a child, my elder brother Tuotuo said he would help me go to the southern capital to rob a Han princess' dressing table, but he was killed by that hateful demon Zhu San."

The name Zhu San is now synonymous with the devil in the Tatars. He killed too many people in that battle. Several of Altan's sons died in that battle to hunt down the Han capital.

As Zamusu, who had been captured by Zhu San, his heart trembled when he heard Qimuge mention the name Zhu San. He still remembered Zhu San's cold eyes looking down at him. He knew that if he had any thought of resistance at that time, Zhu San would chop off his head without hesitation.

Fortunately, this devilish Zhu San also suffered retribution from Changshengtian and died suddenly when he was at his most proud.

Therefore, the nightmare in Zamusu's heart disappeared.

Zamusu said, "Qimuge, don't encourage others. I have fought with Zhu San before. He is a villain who is good at attacking from behind. If I hadn't been careless and didn't dodge, he wouldn't have been able to catch me and use me to threaten my father."

Zamusu is also good at flattering himself.

Qi Muge is only sixteen years old now, and it is the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing. It has been seven years since the war, so it is impossible for her to have much memory of what happened at that time.

So she believed in Zamusu's words without a doubt. Moreover, when they were on the grassland, many people who had experienced that war also had a low opinion of Zhu San, saying that he only knew how to launch sneak attacks and that he was a demon who killed people without blinking an eye.

Therefore, in Qi Muge's imagination, Zhu San was an ugly and evil demon general. If it weren't for his meanness and cruelty, her brothers wouldn't have died so many times, and she wouldn't have been forced by her father and mother to marry to the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that Qimuge really hates Zhu San in his heart now, and he can't help but curse that Zhu San's soul will be thrown into the endless hell by Changshengtian, and suffer endless torture for eternity.

Zhu Zaigui, who was far away in Prince Yu's Mansion in the capital, was looking at a topographic map of the suburbs of Beijing. He was planning to choose a site for the Beijing Martial Arts Hall with diverse terrain that could meet the needs of various practical training.

Suddenly he sneezed. Meng Chong was startled when he heard Zhu Zaigui sneeze, and hurried over to ask, "Did your Highness catch a cold? Do you want me to ask Imperial Doctor Li to come and check your pulse?"

Zhu Zaiqi waved his hand, "It's nothing, my nose just itched a little, I didn't catch a cold. I still have to continue selecting a site for the Beijing Martial Arts Hall."

Zhu Zaigui looked at the map. He saw a mountainous terrain in the north, a plain below, and rivers and lakes. Zhu Zaigui felt that the terrain of this place was good based on the map and could meet the needs of diverse military training.

Zhu Zaigui drew a circle on it with a charcoal pencil and said, "Tomorrow, call the people from the Ministry of War and the Five Military Command Office, and also call Pan Jixun. I will take them to see this place in person."

After hearing Zhu Zaigui's instructions, Meng Chong immediately responded and carefully put away the topographic map in front of Zhu Zaigui.

Zhu Zaigui returned to his seat, drank a sip of tea, and asked again: "Where is the grassland princess?"

Meng Chong replied: "According to the date, we should be arriving in Datong soon. Once Editor-in-Chief Li welcomes the princess, we will be able to reach the capital in less than half a month."

When Zhu Zaigui heard that there was still half a month left, he sighed helplessly and stopped thinking about it. He asked about King Jing again, "How are the preparations for King Jing's wedding going?"

Meng Chong said: "The Ministry of Rites is ready and has been teaching Prince Jing and the future Princess Jing the procedures and rituals for their wedding these days. There won't be any more mistakes."

Zhu Zaigui nodded with satisfaction. Finally, there was something that made him feel relaxed and happy.

Zhu Zaigui smiled and said, "I have also seen the album of pictures of Prince Jing's wife. She is indeed a beautiful woman. Prince Jing is very lucky this time."

Meng Chong also laughed and said, "This is all thanks to the prince."

Zhu Zai'ao chuckled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this matter. As an elder brother, I have to do my best. So this time, I chose this princess, Wang, for my brother Prince Jing. I carefully selected her. She must be good-looking, gentle, and generous. You can tell at first glance that she is a virtuous wife who can support the rear of the prince's mansion." Zhu Zai'ao was also very satisfied with the princess, Wang, whom he had chosen for Zhu Zaizhen.

This Wang's father was the former commander of the East City Army, and now he has been transferred to be the chief of the East City patrol police in the capital. He can be considered to be from a family of officials who can barely make it to the upper echelons.

Therefore, there was no problem with Wang's family education since childhood. She was more graceful and well-educated than ordinary women.

Therefore, after Zhu Zaigui looked at Wang's information, he also asked someone to look at her selection and assessment information, and immediately decided to choose Wang as the Princess of Jing.

After Zhu Zaigui decided on the candidate, he immediately submitted a petition to Emperor Jiajing. However, Emperor Jiajing calmly asked Huang Jin to pass on a message: "You decide."

Faced with such a cold reaction from Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Zaigui really had no idea what he was thinking. Even if Prince Jing had made some mistakes before, he was still his biological son, right?

Why is this the reaction of a father when his own son is getting married?

Could it be that Emperor Jiajing was using Prince Jing's wedding to test whether his eldest son could really be loyal and respectful to his brother?

Or is his imperial mentality about to break out again, and is he planning some evil trick?
Zhu Zaigui was actually very tired of facing such a lofty emperor whom he had never met, because he really couldn't understand what was going on in the mind of Emperor Jiajing.

If he made a mistake at any time and was imprisoned by him, all the power and everything he had now would be gone.

Therefore, when facing this biological father who is not like an ordinary person even in his cultivation, Zhu Zaigui can only test him carefully and understand him slowly.

But is the real situation so complicated?

Obviously from the perspective of Emperor Jiajing, he felt that everything between him and his son was simple.

As long as his son did something good or right, even if he was unsure about the impact it would have, Emperor Jiajing would turn a blind eye and let Zhu Zaigui do whatever he wanted.

Because Emperor Jiajing knew that Zhu Zaigui was his only hope, and Prince Jing had already played him like a baboon. Even if he was given more wives, it was not certain that he would be able to give birth to a big fat grandson for Emperor Jiajing.

Therefore, considering the issue from the perspective of Emperor Jiajing, the training of Zhu Zaigui is above all else.

Especially since Zhu Zaigui already had a son and several concubines who were pregnant and about to give birth, it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye where the hope of the Zhu family lay.

Therefore, for Emperor Jiajing, Prince Jing's wedding was just a face-saving project to maintain the royal dignity, so he didn't take it seriously.

Moreover, Zhu Zaigui's status as regent has not been removed by his decree, so it is natural for Zhu Zaigui to handle these matters.

It’s a pity that Zhu Zaigui didn’t know many of the tricks. He could only guess based on the history he knew whether Emperor Jiajing was planning to use some big tricks on his own son to demonstrate his supremacy.

From this we can see how powerful the prophecy of "two dragons never meet" is. It has already made Emperor Jiajing and his children suspicious of each other.
