Early the next morning, Hou Xuanyan got up early, and after washing, he rode straight to the palace.

The people of Fuzhou along the way pointed on both sides of the road, and their eyes were full of curiosity. Hou Xuanyan's legendary experience of resurrection from the dead, and his outstanding military exploits in Suzhou and Hangzhou, were blown to the sky by thousands of people in Jiading in Fuzhou.

Hou Xuanyan was on horseback, closing his eyes and calculating the intricate situation, now that he had received the emperor's command, it was time to deal with He Tengjiao in Huguang. Huguang is the granary of the world, and Bashu can camp Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi in the west, and the Central Plains in the north, which can contain Li Zicheng's defeated army. Such a place was handed over to He Tengjiao, which was the greatest luck of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Just thinking about it, Hong Yixun rushed forward and said immediately: "Big brother, I saw two people just now, although they were wearing men's clothes, they could be recognized at a glance as the two female thieves we rescued in Hanshan Temple. ”

Hou Xuanyan has been so busy lately, his mind has not been idle for a moment, and he has long forgotten about these two female thieves. After all, what was lost was just a little jewelry from the two maids, and when he heard Hong Yixun's words, he didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "Catch and send the official away." ”

Hong Yixun nodded, he had already ordered his subordinates to follow secretly, and the people under him were all carefully selected, and what they did was this kind of dirty work such as exploration, pursuit, and assassination. This little thing is just a good time to practice your hands.

Coming to the palace, the civil and military officials gathered together, but it is a pity that except for the emperor who sat upright on the dragon chair, no one took this early dynasty seriously. Hou Xuanyan had already met the emperor in private, and he also got what he wanted, and the extremely boring court meeting quickly dispersed. is nothing more than a big praise for Hou Xuanyan's achievements in the Jiangnan area, but it is all just verbal praise, and the actual benefits are not at all.

Hou Xuanyan didn't expect to get anything when he came to Fuzhou, after all, his territory was the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, and if the entire Southern Ming Dynasty really went on a northern expedition together, maybe he would have to rely on him to pay for his food. It's a pity that the Han people have the gene of fighting in the nest in their bones, which may have been passed down from the Yellow Emperor Chiyou.

In the same way, only in the era of traitors will there be national disasters. Otherwise, the entire Han people will be twisted into a rope, even when the national strength is the weakest, they can be proud of the world, and if they don't beat others, they will secretly have fun.

After the early dynasty dispersed, as soon as he left the palace gate, several civil officials came up. A middle-aged man in a python robe and jade belt held up the Chao Wat and shouted, "Lord Xiaohou stays." ”

As soon as Hou Xuanyan turned around, the officials around him introduced him: "This is Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University. ”

Hou Xuanyan hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Lord Lu, what advice do you have?" ”

Lu Zhenfei's face darkened, and he said: "Yu Zhan and I are old friends, and I am shocked to hear that he died of martyrdom, so I am not very sad. ”

Yu Zhan is Hou Dongzeng's expression, Hou Xuanyan did not dare to slack off, and said: "It turned out to be Shibo, the boy has been studying at home for a long time, I don't know the relationship between Shibo and his father, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Lu Zhenfei's expression softened, took his hand and said: "Tiger father has no dogs, now that you have recovered Hangzhou, it is even more rare that you are still thinking about the emperor and know that you have come to Fuzhou to meet Your Majesty." Yuzhan has a son like you, which is enough to comfort Jiuquan. How many days are you going to stay in Fuzhou this time? ”

Hou Xuanyan made a little calculation, this Lu Zhenfei asked me this, he must want me to go to his house, I don't know what he will say. He thought to himself that there was nothing to talk about, and opened his mouth and said: "The Qing soldiers in Jiangbei are eyeing each other, and there is even more Plug Yinxi, who has recovered Jingzhou, and is besieged by the Qing soldiers day and night. I don't dare to stay here for a long time, that is, I will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Before leaving, be sure to visit Shibo. ”

Lu Zhenfei glanced at him approvingly, Hou Xuanyan is better than his father, knowing my mind and not letting me speak. He chuckled, "Then I'll take care of it." ”

As soon as he left the palace gate, a knight in brocade came to Hou Xuanyan's personal guard and said loudly: "Is Lord Hou here?" ”

Being in Fuzhou, Qin He didn't dare to hold it up, and asked with a pleasant face: "What are you looking for at my house?" ”

"The villain was ordered by the Duke of Pingguo to invite the adults to the mansion for a talk."

The three Zheng Zhilong brothers, plus his nephew, all entered the title of prince. Zheng Zhilong was awarded the title of Pingguo Gong, mastering the military and political power, the third brother Zheng Hongkui was the Marquis of Dingxi, and the fourth brother Zheng Zhibao was named Cheng Jibo, and his nephew Zheng Cai was also named Yongshengbo, and the official residence of the Zheng family was superb.

But such a high-ranking official never participated in the early dynasty, unless he had something to do, he would go to the court to show off his might. The emperor was also happy to be out of sight and out of mind, and let it go, of course, he couldn't control it.

Hou Xuanyan sneered in his heart, what he was waiting for was your table, if you don't eat your bankrupt family and ruined family, I'm sorry for my Hou Xuanyan's good mouth.

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't see it on his face at all, and he said with a smile: "This official is just about to visit Guogong, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and lead the way in front." ”

The Zheng family gave Hou Xuan enough face, and all the important people of the family were present and greeted at the door.

Everyone in the world knows that Zheng Zhilong is the most powerful person in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he ignores the newly rising Hou Xuanyan, who is the biggest army master.

The total number of soldiers and horses in Suzhou and Hangzhou is no less than 300,000, and the northern expedition across the river is slightly insufficient. But if the army is waved south, a small Fuzhou, how can it resist. The entire Nanming was not able to beat it.

This is why Hou Xuanyan wanted to come to Fuzhou, Chen Mingyu was worried, but Yan Yingyuan did not stop him.

As long as Zheng Zhilong's head is not burned out, he will not dare to move a finger of Hou Xuanyan, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of troops loyal to him will be enough to drive Zheng Zhilong to the sea, and it will be difficult to step inland from now on.

When he came to the gate of Zheng's mansion, Hou Xuanyan jumped off the horse, Zheng Zhilong greeted him affectionately, raised his hand and said with a smile: "This is the world-famous little Hou?" I didn't expect to be so young, it's really a hero from ancient times. We can live in Fuzhou in peace, and I want to thank Lord Xiaohou for the millions of people in Mindi. ”

Hou Xuanyan was even happier than him, stepped forward to hold Zheng Zhilong's arm, shook it and said: "Where is Guogong, without Guogong's gunpowder cannon, how can a mere Hou Xuanyan have such a record." I want to thank the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for being the prince of the country! ”

The two powerful people are like two high-rollers who have reunited after a long absence, with a smile on their faces, hooking their shoulders,

"Hahaha, Lord Xiaohou, please!"

"Hey~ Guogong please, Guogong first!"

"Lord Xiaohou is a guest from afar, please first!"

“....”

A young man in brocade next to him, looking at this scene, his eyes were staggered, and his heart was complicated.

His name is Zheng Chenggong, his mentor, in order to encourage him, he named him the word "big wood".

Zheng Damu's mentor is none other than Qian Qianyi, a famous Confucian in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

And the young man in front of him, who hooked up with his father, had just killed his teacher's family.
