"This thing is called a scope, a smaller version of a telescope. I'm sure you know what it's for. This gun is excellent. It can accurately kill a target from a hundred feet away. It's a valuable tool. I want to tell Master Sun that the era of cavalry is over."
When saying this, Zhu Youxiao still felt a little bitter.
Those iron hooves that once dominated the world will never again tread upon the ground. Time rolls on like a wheel, and who can truly escape it?
Handing the gun to Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youxiao said, "This will be given to Master Sun. Although Master Sun is old, he still needs to learn about the fun stuff."
After hearing this, Sun Chengzong also smiled and said, "It is rare that Your Majesty is willing to take care of us old ministers. Thank you, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Sun Chengzong reached out, took the gun, and fiddled with it for a few times.
"You've all been with me all this time. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything over the years. I also know that I've been a little willful over the years. When I was young, I was a little impulsive and didn't act with such discretion. You've been cleaning up my mess a lot. Thank you for your hard work over the years."
"I will be leaving Liaodong soon. I'll leave this place to Master Sun. Go ahead and do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Sun Chengzong agreed with a smile. "It is a gift from heaven that I have the privilege of meeting Your Majesty in my lifetime. To see Your Majesty restore the Ming Dynasty is the most satisfying wish in my heart!"
"You say that, but how far have we come?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, "We, the emperor and his ministers, will go even further, so far that no one can catch up."
"I really hope I can live to see that day." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"Don't worry, you can do it." Zhu Youxiao patted his shoulder and turned to walk inside.
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Youxiao's back, breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and walked out.
He knew that His Majesty was doing this to reassure himself.
This time, if things go wrong in Liaodong, I might end up taking the blame. I have to kill those Mongols myself. His Majesty is telling himself that he will not give up on himself, and he will do his best and take care of anything that happens.
Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong smiled and shook his head.
After so many years, Your Majesty still has the same temper; he has done so many things, although many times they were a bit inappropriate and reckless.
But there is one thing that all the ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty, that is, no matter what you do or what kind of trouble you get into, as long as you work for Your Majesty sincerely, Your Majesty will protect you.
This reminded Sun Chengzong of how Emperor Chenghua employed Wang Zhi, who ultimately had a good ending.
Among the powerful officials of the Ming Dynasty, almost none of them had a good end; among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one, Wang Zhi.
This is probably why Your Majesty was able to accomplish great things. Those emperors who could not accomplish great things let their subordinates take the blame, making it seem that they were innocent and had no stains on themselves, but who would be willing to work for you in this way?
Sun Chengzong naturally did not need the emperor to back him up. At his current state, nothing could kill him. No one could do anything to him after he did these things to the Mongols.
But the emperor's words not only reassured him, but also reassured the people below him.
"This time, we can be a little more ruthless." Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "I'm afraid those people outside are already tired of waiting."
Zhu Youxiao returned to the house, glanced at Chen Hong and Wei Chao, stretched his body, and said, "You should also get ready. We will return to the capital in two days."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Wei Chao agreed, though a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. He then asked, "Your Majesty, what about Wu Keshan's two sisters? Will the enthronement ceremony in Shenyang City still take place?"
Zhu Youxiao had originally wanted to confer titles on them in Shenyang City, but now that he was leaving, it was probably too late.
"It's simple. Call them over tonight. You can go and announce the decree later. Aren't the names already decided? It's just a wedding night, right? It's not that complicated."
Wei Chao didn't dare to ask, and quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do it right away."
Zhu Youxiao didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, nor did he want to cause any more trouble.
Originally, I wanted to win over Korchin by holding a wedding in Shenyang, but this time I have to trick them, so I will do it later.
It is easy to appease someone before they are cheated, but it is difficult to appease them after they are cheated.
