Zhu Yujian looked at this scene, and suddenly his mind was at a loss, these Wenchen were still always sharp-toothed, and he was also deeply disturbed. Since escaping from Fuzhou, Zhu Yujian's heart has painted a bright future. Under his own command, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. And then today, a familiar quarrel came first, pulling him back from the dream to reality.

Later, Hou Xuan's personal guard pulled out a knife and killed people, which really surprised Zhu Yujian's expectations, since ancient times, the court battles have been intrigues. All kinds of shady tricks are hidden in the war of words, hurting and harming people.

Hou Xuanyan set a precedent and changed the century-old pattern of the Ming Dynasty's court battles, and no king would like such an initiative. But he couldn't really deal with Hou Xuanyan, the earth-shattering cry outside was ostensibly a plea, but in fact it was a declaration of force.

Zhu Yujian's eyes were fixed on Hou Xuanyan, who raised his head and looked directly at the emperor's scrutinizing gaze.

Hou Xuanyan's heart was open, without the slightest dodge, in his heart, Fa Qing was the first, not Fuming. Everything had to make way for Vaqing, including his own life. And these pedantic civil officials who are bent on infighting and have all the skill points are ordered with the mouth cannon option, which is a big stumbling block to the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yujian sighed and said, "Su Guansheng despised my prince, said disrespectful words, and now insulted the important ministers. This strong man surnamed Hu killed him by mistake with no resentment, although he was guilty, but the law is nothing more than human affection, deduct three years of money, and let it be light. ”

Hou Xuanyan got up at this time, respectfully saluted and retired, and the ministers in the hall were silent.

The little chamberlain who fled from Fuzhou, under the command of Wang Xiangnian, disposed of the corpse of Su Guansheng, who couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Huang Daozhou died, Su Guansheng also died, and the civil officials who stayed in the palace were headed by Lu Zhenfei. Zhu Yujian waved his hand lightly, signaling them all to withdraw, and then let Wang Xiangnian leave Lu Zhenfei behind.

Lu Zhenfei's expression was complicated, his first impression of Hou Xuanyan was good, this young junior was well-read, he was a scholar from Songjiang Mansion, and he and his father Hou Dong were old friends. His whole family was martyred and died, and he was in the same water and fire with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing soldiers who washed Jiading in blood, in addition to Li Chengdong, also had Taicang Qing soldiers. Later, Lu Zhenfei found that he couldn't see through this junior at all.

Lu Zhenfei, who was full of worries, came to the inner courtyard of the palace, Zhu Yujian was drinking tea, and after seeing Lu Zhenfei, he put down the teacup and said, "Come on, give Lu Aiqing a seat." ”

After Lu Zhenfei saluted, he got up to thank him and sat down on a chair.

Zhu Yujian was calm, he didn't mess up because of today's incident. After so many years of ups and downs, while destroying his body, it also sharpened his will. He pondered for a moment and said, "What does Aiqing think of today's events?" ”

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhenfei said: "Although Su Guansheng is a friend of the minister, he has really gone too far, Hou Xuanyan has a heavy army, and his repeated victories have deeply frustrated the arrogance of Jiannu, and he is really a cadre of our resistance to the Qing soldiers and plotting the Northern Expedition." However, Hou Xuanyan connived at his subordinates, killed people in front of the palace, and showed off his might, which was even more chilling. In the eyes of the ministers, His Majesty handled it decently, and it can only be like this for now. ”

Zhu Yujian was slightly disappointed, what Lu Zhenfei said seemed fair, but in fact, there was no content at all. These ministers can achieve this position because they have been boiled up by batches of officials, and they are well versed in the way of officials. They easily refused to show their attitude, although Zhu Yujian was short when he was the emperor, he had already deeply seen the power of these people. He went one step further and asked directly: "Aiqing thinks Hou Xuan plays this person, what is his ambition?" ”

Lu Zhenfei was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction in the emperor's tone, so he had no choice but to put away his tactfulness and replied seriously: "Hou Xuanyan never timidly fights every time he faces the pressure of the Qing army, and he must be in front of the battle every battle, which is enough to see his heart to serve the country." In the tiger's den in Longtan, Fuzhou, Hou Xuanyan went to danger alone, just for His Majesty to summon him, which shows his loyalty to the king. When Zhu Yujian heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head when he remembered the tragic scene in the palace.

Lu Zhenfei continued: "It's a pity that he is still young and lacks experience, so it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant. Killing He Tengjiao first, and then killing Huang Daozhou, all show that this son is mentally immature. If Your Majesty wants to go on a northern expedition, you can't do without this person, but how to use it still has to be considered in the long run. ”

Zhu Yujian nodded with satisfaction, Lu Zhenfei was not like those civil officials, and began to criticize Hou Xuanyan as soon as he mentioned it, which is why he asked Lu Zhenfei to discuss.

Lu Zhengfei could see that the emperor's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he knew that he still had doubts, so he thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the state capital is a small city after all, and the soldiers under Hou Xuanyan respond to every call, and they seem to be majestic. When we arrived at Jinling, it was the imperial capital of the old days, the people were deeply educated, and the gentry were eager to support the Ming Dynasty, and they would definitely support His Majesty with one heart. ”

Zhu Yujian nodded frequently, and left Lu Zhenfei behind for lunch. The monarchs and ministers talked happily with each other, and the discussion was nothing more than the details of how to revitalize the dynasty and recruit talents when they arrived in Jinling. A minister's palace was killed, and he turned over like this, and the monarch and ministers didn't notice it, and they had gradually accepted Hou Xuanyan's style of acting. The world is in chaos, and the rules of inheritance for a hundred years are gradually broken, which also indicates that an era full of iron and blood has come.

At the same time, Hou Xuanyan also enjoyed a rare warmth and comfort. He had already decided that when he arrived in Jinling, he would go to the Jingxiang front. Jingxiang is now like a volcanic crater that will erupt at any time, and the two sides have 500,000 soldiers, which has long surpassed the scale of Salhu, where Jiannu rose. A big war is about to break out, and as long as the decisive battle starts, it will be a battle to determine the strength or weakness. So during the period of accompanying the north to Jinling, he planned to accompany Huang Ying'er well.

After leaving the palace, Hou Xuanyan personally arranged to take money from his treasury and reward Hu Bawan. He was detained for three years, and Hou Xuanyan gave him thirty years, and then returned to the mansion where he had just been greedy for ink.

Pushing the door in, Huang Ying'er, who had just broken the melon, had already prepared a table of exquisite side dishes and waited for her obediently.

After all, Huang Ying'er is a person who practices martial arts, and she has reached the age of jasper, so she is not a weak woman who can't be punished.

Seeing Hou Xuan come in, Huang Yinger smiled skillfully, looking like a happy little wife. Hou Xuanyan put his mind at ease, he was going to bandage someone's wounds, but who knew that he had a lustful heart halfway through, and added another wound, and he felt a little unhappy. Seeing that Huang Ying'er was fine, she was relieved.

In a few exquisite porcelain plates, the seasonal vegetables are prepared, although the taste is average, but Hou Xuanyan is used to living in the army, so he is naturally cold and never picky. He praised Huang Ying'er while eating, coaxing Xiao Nizi to smile, and Miao'er Shuang'er on the side and a pair of twin maids were diligently persuading the wine on the side, and after a while, the wine was half drunk. Hou Xuanyan looked at Huang Ying'er's charming and delicate cheeks, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he sat up straight and patted his thigh, Huang Ying'er's face turned red, and she sat in his arms obediently. The two of them were sweet and greasy in front of the maid in the room, and after a while, they were half-dissolved, and they were panting again and again.

Miao'er and her husband are both maids in the room, and they have long been taught by the older grandmothers in the house, and they glanced at each other with a red face, and began to smoke incense and shop. They are flustered when they do these things, but in their hearts, they are all righteous, Huang Ying'er is such a shy person, and she will not feel embarrassed to be intimate with her lover in front of her sister's maid.

Autumn outside the house is crisp, and the house is full of spring....
