It's autumn.

But the noon sun still makes people feel hot.

A huge carriage, escorted by two teams of cavalry in red tassels and black clothes on the left and right, entered Chunhua Town from east to west.

Then, he stopped in the town, as if waiting for someone.

Song An slowly rode out of the team and looked in the direction of Zhenxi.

After a while, a horse came from east to west, and the rider stopped in front of Song An and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Song An's face was relieved, he turned his horse's head, came to the side of the carriage, and said to the window: "Young master, everything is as usual in the capital." ”

A lazy voice came from inside the carriage, "I'll just say, what's the matter...... You don't believe it. ”

Song An said calmly: "Be cautious, it's always good." ”

Wu Zheng stuck his head out of the car window and looked back and forth, "This big sun, the soldiers should be thirsty...... The order went down, accelerated the journey, and arrived in the capital, so that he could rest and recuperate. ”

"Yes."

The team moved quickly to the west.

……。

Everything is business as usual in the capital, but it doesn't mean that everything is normal outside the city.

The emperor of the Jianxing Dynasty led hundreds of civil and military officials to go out of Zhengyangmen for fifty miles, if this is said to be "everything is as usual", then there is basically no major event in the world.

"Congratulations to the general!"

"Congratulations to King Wu's class to return to the court!"

When the earth-shaking cheers of the soldiers and civilians on both sides sounded, Wu Zheng was surprised by Zhu Lianbi's courtesy, which in his mind, the Zhu family is not a humble person, from Zhu Yihai, to Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cixuan, Zhu Cuncao, these Zhu family members from beginning to end, all regard themselves as the co-masters of the world, high above, and regard everyone as their subjects.

Zhu Lianbi's move really surprised Wu Zheng, so much so that he didn't hear the edict of Huang Daozhou, and read something at length.

Until Zhu Lianbi personally invited loudly? "General, please? Shang Zhen's reins, and enter the city with me? Accept the cheers of your subjects. ”

Wu Zhengcai came back to his senses? Hurriedly pushed back, and at this time? The clamor and cheers of hundreds of civilians, soldiers, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians watching have drowned out all voices.

Zhu Lianbi stepped forward to hold Wu Zheng's arm? Pulled Wu to fight for the royal chariot? Under the gaze of countless fiery eyes, he entered the city.

It has been passing through Hongwu Gate and Chengtian Gate, crossing the Inner Wulong Bridge, and stopping outside Fengtian Gate.

And Wu Zheng was still held by Zhu Lianbi and walked up to the front steps of Fengtian Hall together.

Before entering the temple and walking the dragon chair? Only then did Zhu Lianbi let go of Wu Zheng's hand, which had been dragging.

He smiled and turned around? Facing the civil and military ministers, he said to Wu Zheng affectionately: "In this Northern Expedition, the recovery of Luzhou, Anqing, Fengyang, Xuzhou, Huai'an, Haizhou, Ganyu and other lost territories, King Wu should be the first ...... to make great contributions. ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly said: "Why did Your Majesty strategize, my Northern Expeditionary Army, the Left Battalion of the Beijing Army, the Jianyang Guards, and the princes of the DPRK and China working together?" Ministers don't dare to take credit! ”

Gentlemen and ministers get along, and they are happy? The atmosphere in the temple was hot for a while.

But at this time, Zhu Lianbi suddenly said: "A few years? King Wu turned the tide and recovered half of the country? Protect my society's clan? Gong Gai Chao Ye...... Am I thinking about it again? Intentionally emulating the former sages, he gave way to King Wu...... I don't know what King Wu wants? ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of hot death suddenly condensed, and the hall was silent, and everyone seemed to be pointed.

Wu Zheng was also stunned, he set his eyes on Huang Daozhou, Huang Daozhou was stunned, and gently shook his head at Wu Zheng, indicating that he didn't know about it.

Wu Zheng set his eyes on Zhu Lianbi again, trying to see Zhu Lianbi's true intentions from Zhu Lianbi's expression and eyes.

But Zhu Lianbi's face was calm, his eyes were pure and smiling.

Wu Zheng couldn't help but suspect that he had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"The minister is terrified...... Your Majesty laughed! Wu Zheng bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty is the bloodline of the Ming family, the Zhengshuo of the clan, the co-master of the hearts of all the people, and the banner of the people who command the world to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty...... How can you be vain? ”

Huang Daozhou also thought that Zhu Lianbi was deliberately tempting at this time, and he hurriedly came out and said: "Although the Northern Expedition has achieved miraculous achievements, it is feasible for half and ninety miles of a hundred miles, and the monarch and the ministers can get along with each other, and the upper and lower levels can do their best...... I hope that Your Majesty must not be suspicious of King Wu because of some petty instigation. ”

With the voices of Wu Zheng and Huang Daozhou, the civil and military forces in the hall all fell to the ground and shouted in unison: "Please Your Majesty not be arrogant!" ”

Zhu Lianbi looked at Wu Zheng with a smile, and then turned his head to scan at Huang Daozhou and the ministers in the palace.

"I mean it from the bottom of my heart...... But since King Wu refused, Zhu Qing insisted on staying with me...... Then I will be as good as a stream, and I will be reluctant to make it difficult. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Lianbi turned around and supported Wu Zheng and said, "King Wu thinks that it is not appropriate for me to do this emperor...... Tell me at any time that I won't love stacks! ”

This change was unexpected by everyone except Zhu Lianbi.

Fortunately, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and Zhu Lianbi did not mention this matter again in the palace banquet afterward, as if he had never had such a thing.

Wu Zheng's mind was also in chaos, what is this called?

……。

Wu Wangfu.

It was not scattered because Wu Zheng was not in the capital for a long time, but it was more prosperous.

Even if it can't be called a lot of traffic, it's not an exaggeration to crowd people.

People, they always like the icing on the cake, King Wu and General, as long as there is one of these two titles, it is enough to make a big noise, not to mention the combination of the two?

Fortunately, the rules of Wu Wangfu are "strict", and it has always been polite to enter people and not to enter.

Most of the people who came did not ask King Wu to help solve the problem, but first put a foot on the face to be "familiar", and they were very satisfied if they could accept the gift.

Therefore, in the palace, there is a special wing room to place the continuous influx of ceremonies.

At this time, Wu Zheng was looking at these gifts, although there were so many that Wu Zheng couldn't see them.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty may be worried about the high achievements of the Lord ......." Huang Daozhou tried his best to use an outsider's tone to explain Zhu Lianbi's abnormal words and deeds today.

Wu Zheng raised his hand to interrupt, picked up a galloping horse jade carving, and handed it to Huang Daozhou: "Huang Xiang estimates this price for Gu, how much silver can it be worth?" ”

Huang Daozhou was speechless, you are the king of Wu and a general, how can you be stained with copper stench, even if you really like it, don't you have to carry people on your back?

But since Wu Zheng asked, Huang Daozhou naturally couldn't refuse to answer, he took a breath, took a cursory look, and said: "The minister is clumsy, and he can't see the age of this jade horse...... But according to the carving skills of this piece of white jade and the craftsman, it will be at least more than a thousand taels! ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Very good...... I haven't come back these days, but I've gathered a lot of money. ”

Huang Daozhou was dumbfounded, he really didn't understand what Wu Zheng was thinking, you said that he had the intention to steal the throne, but he was stunned and let go of the opportunity repeatedly.

If he is really a loyal minister who has been wronged, his words and deeds over the years, even if Cao Apu, is not as good as him, just doing three times to abolish the establishment is enough to be called a powerful minister, a chaotic minister, and an anti-minister.

On the other hand, if you really have a heart, the whole world is his, and you are still entangled in how much this horse is worth and what to do?
