Zhu Hou glanced at Wang Shouren, and then said with a smile: "Not only will he not be angry, but he will also be happy!" ”

Although Zhu Houzhao has never seen Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao can see that Qin Hong should be a pure person, this person may have the shortcomings of a literati, or the limitations of this era, but seeing that he is still willing to fight for the country at the age of seventy-six, this is the mentality and consciousness that ordinary people do not have, plus what the father did before.

He was able to catch up with himself day and night, which shows how anxious this person is and how eager he is to serve the country.

When Zhu Houzhao came to Yuanmen, Qin Hong's car had not yet come, but he soon appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao. Looking at the slightly shabby driving, Zhu Houzhao sighed helplessly, obviously this is also the result of being anxious. You must know that Qin Hong is a trilateral general system, and this time the official position given to Qin Hong is the head of the household department and the right deputy capital Yushi, and the general system of trilateral military affairs.

This is the Qin Cha, there is a royal flag, in this case, the Qin Cha's driving is not said to be luxurious, but it must also have the appearance of the Qin Cha's driving, but unfortunately Qin Hong's this is completely absent.

From this point, it can be seen that Qin Hong is a pragmatic person, Zhu Hou looked at Qin Hong's frame getting closer and closer, and a smile appeared on his face, he was afraid that he would be able to get along with Qin Hong more happily this time. Soon the carriage stopped, the team dodged, and a man was helped out of the carriage.

Because Zhu Houzhao and Qin Hong had never met, otherwise they would inevitably be embarrassed, at this time Wang Shouren's role was shown, and he hurriedly greeted him.

Coming straight to Qin Hong's side, Wang Shouren bowed down and said, "Wang Shouren, the chief bookkeeper of the Xiaguan James Mansion, see Lord Qin!" ”

Qin Hong was slightly stunned, looked Wang Shouren up and down, then nodded lightly, and turned his head around to look: "Excuse me!" Saying that, he praised Wang Shouren again: "The place to camp is good!" ”

"Lord Huiqin, this is chosen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Saying that, Wang Shouren stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and then said: "Lord Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already greeted Lord Qin at the gate when he learned of Lord Qin's arrival!" ”

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Qin Hong immediately became excited, and hurriedly tidied up his robe, straightened the official hat on his head, and then said to Wang Shouren: "Lead the way ahead, take me to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" After saying that, he walked forward quickly.

Zhu Hou looked at the thin old man opposite, and his face suddenly felt a little helpless, there was really no one in the imperial court, so let such an old man go to the northwest. Fortunately, the body and bones are not bad, although a little tired, but the mental state is not bad. Seeing that Qin Hong was about to salute, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly went up and hugged Qin Hong: "Qin Qing, hurry up and excuse me!" ”

This is the first time Qin Hong has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming, but he has not heard much about this prince.

In the past, the legends about Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince, were mostly smart and benevolent, and he was very virtuous and wise, and he was very much like His Majesty today, and he should be a benevolent monarch. For such an evaluation, Qin Hong is very disdainful, you must know that Qin Hong is not very interested in His Majesty today. Although loyal and patriotic, Qin Hong felt that His Majesty was too indecisive.

The Lianghuai Salt Farm and Yangzhou Cases are boiling all over the world, Qin Hong naturally knows about this matter, he is in Shanxian County, Shandong, and it is not far from Lianghuai.

Soon the news about the Lianghuai and Yangzhou smuggling salt cases came over, and the ins and outs of the whole case were clearly transmitted, and Qin Hong felt that there was something unusual in it.

What interested him was not the sudden outbreak of Shouninghou, nor the filthy salt merchants in Lianghuai, but Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. While others are paying attention to the policies of the imperial court, the money and women of the salt merchants, and the huge amount of silver taels embezzled by the officials of the imperial court, the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty fell on the stove household.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reformed the salt production method of the salt farm, and set up a production team method, which not only can better manage the stove households, but also effectively put an end to corruption at the bottom, increase the salt production of the salt farm on a large scale, and even improve the treatment of the stove households.

The stove households have more income, and without the oppression of the officials at the bottom, life is better, the output of the salt field increases, the salt merchants can sell more salt and make more money, and the imperial court can collect more salt fees.

The only ones who may suffer are those corrupt officials and those illegal salt merchants, but Qin Hong naturally will not take these people to heart and let them die.

Qin Hong paid thorough attention to the prince of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and he also realized that this prince was not simple, he focused on the place, and what he did was very clever. As more and more news came, Qin Hong's heart became more and more interested. This time, Qin Hong heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also going to the northwest, and he was both excited and apprehensive in his heart.

Excited because he was finally able to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even be able to get along for a while, he still had something to teach His Royal Highness the Prince.

Worried is afraid that this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different from what he thinks, and the other is that he is afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any risks in the northwest, not enough for him to hear, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only skilled in bows and horses, but also has extraordinary martial arts, which is more powerful than ordinary generals. Last year, when Jingying Jingcha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slapped everyone in the face.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that this Qin Hong had so many thoughts, so he just smiled and pulled Qin Hong inside, and asked Zhu Houzhao as he walked, "Qin Qing hasn't eaten yet, right?" ”

"The minister originally thought that he rushed to the city overnight to eat, but who thought that there was something wrong with the car on the road and he missed the accommodation, and then he heard that His Royal Highness the Prince's camp was here, so the minister brought someone over!" Qin Hong smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao, this is half-true, what missed the stay, he came here for Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile and said, "That's just right, the soldiers caught some fish during the day, and they can have a good meal at night." ”

"Wang Shouren, you go and arrange for Qin Qing's attaché to eat, and then come here!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao pulled Qin Hong and walked to the tent.

After the two of them entered the tent, Zhu Houzhao smiled and ordered: "Bring up the food and order the meal to be served, first bring a bowl of fish soup to Qin Qing to warm your stomach!" ”

"Your Highness!" Qin Hong hurriedly bowed and said.

Since seeing Zhu Houzhao, Qin Hong has never stopped looking at Zhu Houzhao, and so far, Qin Hong's sense of Zhu Houzhao is very good. First of all, in terms of appearance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his own country should be heroic and martial, with a helmet and armor, and a long knife at his waist, and the whole person exudes the might that a military general should have. At the same time, there is a bit of calm air between walking, quite a general's style.

Speech and demeanor, proper and polite, kind smile, warm and courteous reception, it is simply perfect.

Just when Qin Hong wanted to chat with Zhu Houzhao about military strategy, footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and two people walked in from outside.

One person is Wang Shouren, and the other is just looking at the dress, it should be the attaché who drove the Qincha, the attaché had an angry face, and Wang Shouren was embarrassed, obviously something was wrong. Qin Hong glanced at his attaché and asked, "Wang Jie, is there anything wrong?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiyu, Lord Qiqi, our people have been arrested by them!" Wang Yu said that he looked at Wang Shouren, and the meaning was obvious.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao mentally knows what is going on, this is what those scouts did, scratching their tongues, sending people to lurk, these are all regular training items, and even more training items. This must be the case with the people who were arrested, but at this time, Zhu Houzhao still pretended not to know.

Without waiting for Qin Hong to speak, Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Wang Shouren and asked with a calm face, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it was the scout who did it!" Wang Shouren said with a little grievance: "Our scout found out that Lord Qin's men and horses were coming this way, so they sent someone to catch two tongues. ”

"Originally, it was nothing, but after Lord Qin's entourage entered the camp and counted the number of people, they found that there were fewer people. The lower official asked someone to ask, and then he learned the truth. Speaking of this, Wang Shouren hurriedly remedied: "The person has been sent back, and he has not been injured." ”

Zhu Houzhao slammed the chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "Nonsense, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of tongue did you catch, was your head kicked by a horse?" ”

Qin Hong also understood, glanced at Wang Kuo, and felt a little helpless in his heart, do you still have the face to complain?

"Go, get those scouts together, give each of them twenty lashes, and give the captured brothers the wine and meat." Zhu Houzhao added.

"Your Highness, slow down!" Qin Hong hurriedly stood up to stop it at this time, if these twenty whips were drawn, what kind of reputation would he have? You must not fight, otherwise what will these soldiers think of themselves. That Wang Shouren just said, when you enter the camp, you find that people are lost, your people have been caught on the tongue, and you actually enter the camp only to find out, what is this stupid?

Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Qin Hong, and continued to say angrily: "Qin Qing don't intercede for them, it's just nonsense!" ”

"Your Highness, listen to the minister!" Qin Hong hurriedly said: "Those scout brothers are His Highness's guards, escorting His Highness is naturally different from ordinary marches, how important is His Highness's safety?" How can it be compared with an ordinary march? They are also loyal to their duties, His Royal Highness cannot be punished, but rewarded, and the people under the ministers can only be said that they are not good at learning. ”

"I didn't even know if I was captured, what would it be like if I went to the battlefield? I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good at riding *** training, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary, and these soldiers went to the northwest, and it must have a great effect! The ministers thought that these scouts should not only be punished unjustly, but should be rewarded. ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed lightly, nodded and said: "Since Qin Qing said so, then the palace will not pursue them, but the reward will be forgotten, and the few people who were arrested, Wang Shouren, you go and appease them." ”
