Chapter 123: King Chu's Seal of Power

Zhu Youzhen looked into the distance and asked lightly: "There are 15,000 people, is there no problem?"

Zhu Xin said: "No problem, these people are all mountain bandits, we have secretly funded them for many years, and they absolutely surrender to your father!"

"You, so sure?"

"Yes, don't worry, my son's ministers have been regrouping recently, and everything is going well. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"However, I'm still worried that they won't really listen to the dispatch, so let's do it, you first transfer 20,000 taels of silver by your side, if there is any change, in addition to heavy penalties, you can reward them on the spot, and the most effective way to deal with these robbers and bandits is profit!"

"Yes, Father. ”

The hall was silent, Zhu Youzhen didn't speak for a long time, Zhu Xinzheng knew that his father was making a major decision, only at this moment, he would be so silent.

After a while, Zhu Youzhen asked, "Zheng'er, do you know why my father only called you to come in alone?"

Zhu Xinzheng naturally knew about Wu Fei's troubles in the palace, but his father didn't know the purpose of calling him to come in alone, so he shook his head and said, "My son doesn't know." ”

Zhu Youzhen stared at his son tightly and said, "This time, if you have full authority to dispatch and command, are you sure that the battle will be successful?"

Zhu Xin was stunned, he didn't understand what his father meant, but he felt that Zhu Youzhen was not tempting, so he said: "Father, this time the army was planned and presided over by you, and the sons are willing to obey their father's orders, but——"

"Just what?"

"Father, my sons are courageous, I always feel that it is too hasty to start an army tomorrow?"

Zhu Youzhen snorted and nodded to the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch took out a garment from a box with two bullet holes and a large pool of blood.

"Father sent someone to check for two days, this was found in the bamboo forest in the south of the city, it was the clothes that the surname Wu Xiaozi wore that day, which proves that he has been seriously injured, maybe he is dead, it is unknown, he may be the person who Mills Tianmen, however, to prevent us from raising troops, it may be his personal intention, and it has nothing to do with Milling Tianmen, if Milling Heaven Gate intends not to let us raise troops, he will never let a person surnamed Wu come out, so, my father just planned in advance!"

Zhu Xin said: "Father, there have been many rumors in the mansion in the past two days, saying that that man's skills are very terrifying, like a god-"

"Hmph, look at this dress, since he will be injured, it means that he will die as well, but I don't know what evil magic is used!"

"Yes, Erchen understands!"

Zhu Youzhen muttered lightly and said, "You have to learn to judge, fortunately there is a gentleman to help you, otherwise my father is really worried now, can you take on this great responsibility!" He turned his head to the eunuch beside him and ordered: "Go, call the others in!" Zhu Xinzheng was a little strange, what did his father mean by this?

After a while, four people came in the hall, they were Zhu Youzhen's four sons, Zhu Yang was sitting on a chair and was pushed in by his brothers.

The five brothers were in front of the hall in the order of the eldest and youngest, Zhu Youzhen glanced at them one by one, there was a little sadness in his eyes, he patted the arm of the chair, and said: "The troops will be sent tomorrow, and I called you here today, because I have a few things to explain to you!"

The fifth son knew that it must be a very important thing, and his expression was all solemn.

Zhu Youzhen said: "The first thing is that the commander-in-chief of the army this time is to be taken by Zheng'er, when your father is not there, you will listen to his orders and dispatch, and you must not disobey!"

The five sons all showed a look of horror on their faces, but they still hugged their fists together and said, "Yes!"

Zhu Youzhen said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, when you walk out of Changshazhou, you must have such determination, if you don't win, you will die!"

The five brothers responded again, Zhu Youzhen nodded, applauded, and then walked out from behind the curtain a gray-clothed man, this person was only more than five feet tall, his back was slightly hunched, he was sixty or seventy years old, his face was wrinkled, his hair was gray, but his eyes were bright.

Zhu Youzhen introduced to the fifth son: "This is Mr. Zeng Ruhe, he is Mr. Mao's teacher, after Mr. Mao's death, Mr. Zeng finally promised the king to go out of the mountain to assist, Mr. Zeng has a world-shattering talent, the upper knows astronomy, the lower geography, comparable to Liu Bei's Kong Ming, the ancestors of Bowen, you must listen to Mr. Zeng's teachings!"

The five brothers glanced at each other, there was a look of joy on their faces, this Mr. Zeng had been an official in the imperial court, when Zhou Chongsheng was in charge of the ministry, this Mr. Zeng Ruhe was the deputy, only because of the political differences with the old master Zhou, he resigned angrily after a quarrel, and since then he has retired to the mountains and forests to write books and say, I can't imagine that I am willing to go out of the mountains to assist my father now.

Mr. Zeng hugged his fists at the five sons, but he didn't speak.

Zhu Xinzheng said secretly: "Mr. Zeng is Mr. Mao's teacher, he went out of the mountain, is it because of Mr. Mao's murder?" Zhu Xinzheng guessed well, Mr. Mao is Zeng Ruhe's righteous son, he has always been humble and filial to him, and he must ask the teacher for advice on everything, so Zeng Ruhe was deeply happy, and he didn't expect him to die before he left the school, which made Zeng Ruhe regret it.

Mr. Zeng was reluctant to get involved in this right and wrong, but he thought that it was Wu Fei who killed Mr. Mao, and Wu Fei was a disciple of Zhou Chongsheng, Zhu Youzhen knew that Mr. Zeng and Zhou Chongsheng had a decades-long feud, which could persuade him to come out of the mountain to assist.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Zheng'er, you have to ask Mr. Zeng for more advice, discuss everything with him, and don't make a decision easily!"

Zhu Xinzheng was a little strange, what happened to his father today, as if he was entrusting Gu? Zhu Youzhen beckoned him to his side and said, "No matter what happens tomorrow, when you leave the palace, you must never turn back, remember, remember!" Zhu Xin was about to ask why, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.

The five sons have seen Zhu Youzhen one by one, Zhu Youzhen made the final deployment, Zeng Ruhe's eyes were like torches, but he spoke very little, and only spoke at the key point, at this time Zhu Youzhen ordered the eunuchs to call the generals waiting outside the door into the front hall.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen ordered all the people waiting outside the hall to come in, and there were forty or fifty people standing in the main hall, although there were many people, it was silent, because everyone knew in their hearts that the prince was going to announce the most important decision at this time.

Zhu Youzhen nodded to the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch stood in front of Zhu Xinzheng with a plate, and Zhu Xinzheng asked in surprise: "This, what is this?"

Zhu Youzhen said: "In front of all the generals, this king will hand over the power seal of King Chu to you, and tomorrow morning, Zheng'er will be able to act on behalf of King Chu!"

Zhu Xin knelt down and said, "The son doesn't dare, the father is alive, the child never dares to have this thought!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "When you come back triumphantly, you can return your father if you want to!"

Zhu Xin was kowtowing again and again, and finally took the treasure seal tremblingly, this is what he dreamed of, and it is also what all his brothers wanted, and now it really fell into his hands.

A piece of dust fell on Zhu Youzhen's sleeve, he was slightly surprised, looked up at the top of his head, and saw that the big clock on the beam was quite dusty, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and stretched out his hand to brush away the dust.
