After all, Zhu Yujian is the son of tomorrow, and all the way up to the county, the magistrate will inevitably be sent there, so he went all the way to Haining, a town by the Qiantang River.

The weather in early winter is already a little cold, and winter has come earlier and colder over the years.

The sky is getting dark, and the river is lapping along the shore, and the splash of water makes the surrounding air moist.

Hou Xuanyan and Zhu Yujian stood side by side by the river, Zhu Yujian's body had not yet healed, and his face was slightly pale, but looking at the vicissitudes of the river, his heart was still surging.

Hou Xuanyan tightened the cloak behind him and said, "Your Majesty is cold and damp here, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, it is better to go back to the palace to rest." ”

Zhu Yujian stood in front of Hou Xuanyan, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, turned his back and said: "Hou Aiqing, I plan to cross the river from Suzhou, go to Yangzhou first to comfort the people, and then go to Jinling." After saying this, Zhu Yujian's palms covering his mouth were slightly sweaty, and he calmed down and listened to Hou Xuanyan's response.

Hou Xuanyan knew what the emperor meant as soon as he heard it, and he wanted to get rid of the itinerary he had arranged and inspect his own territory. Hou Xuanyan suddenly understood Cao Cao's feelings back then, perhaps the young man who relied on a blood spirit, offered the seven-star treasure sword, and gathered the princes of the Eighteen Roads to discuss Dong Zhuo, really cherished the ideal of reviving the Han family. People in the world are vying for fame and fortune, all they seek is fame and fortune, Hou Xuanyan feels that Cao Cao is a person with him.

I don't know what it's like to be a rotting rat, and I guess that the chicks are still alive...

Hou Xuanyan chuckled lightly and said: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid that the minister will not be able to accompany Your Majesty, the war in Jingxiang is tight, and the war is about to break out." If it drags on to the depths of winter, the Liao people are obviously more cold-resistant than the soldiers and horses of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The minister asked for orders to go to Jingxiang and fight a decisive battle with the thief chieftain. ”

After listening to this, Zhu Yujian was both moved and a little ashamed, the battle of Fuzhou Palace, Zhu Yujian saw it with his own eyes. No matter how the people of the world slander, this is brave and loyal, and there is no one in the government and the opposition. But Hou Xuanyan's energy is too great, and as an emperor, he has to be careful. After all, no matter how loyal Hou Xuanyan is, he can't guarantee that his subordinates won't have a yellow robe.

"Since Hou Aiqing is willing to go, I will naturally agree, so Jing Xiang will be entrusted to Aiqing."

Hou Xuanyan bent down and said: "It's just the duty of the general." ”

Hou Xuanyan turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the sound of people behind him, and a guard came over and said, "Your Majesty, Commander, a group of gentry are pouring out there to see Your Majesty." ”

A hint of blush appeared on Zhu Yujian's face, and his mood suddenly became excited, Lu Zhenfei said that the gentry had a heart for the Ming Dynasty, thinking to the emperor, did it really come true? His tone was a little excited, and he said, "Hurry up and invite them over, wait, I will personally go to meet them." ”

Hou Xuanyan had no choice but to follow Zhu Yujian to the downstream, only to see a group of people, standing in an orderly manner, waiting for the arrival of the emperor. When these people saw that the emperor was coming, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted long live. Hou Xuanyan sighed secretly, Zhu Ming's dynasty has been a country for hundreds of years, and after several generations of strange courts, is it still so popular with the people?

Led by an old man dressed in a robe, with crane hair and a childish face full of wealth, although he is old, he has a dignified appearance. Hou Xuanyan watched coldly, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Zhu Yujian asked with a smile: "Everyone, please hurry up, you see me, what is the matter?" ”

The person next to him stood up, helped the old man to get up, and said: "Your Majesty, I am waiting for the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I heard that Your Majesty is here, and I have come to ask for Governor Hou's life." Governor Hou has worked hard and made great achievements, saved us, the people of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and repelled the ferocious and arrogant Tartars, but there are constantly people who have hollowed out their hearts to attack Lord Xiaohou, and I hope Your Majesty will correct the name of Governor Hou. ”

The people next to me said everything they said, and the general content was not much different from what the old man said.

The old man saw that the emperor was stunned in place, and continued: "We are entrusted by the elders of our hometown to come to see Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Yujian's face was blank. , I feel a little unhappy in my heart, but I can't show it. He said indifferently: "You all get up, what kind of person Hou Aiqing is, what kind of official he is, I know best." Since I have come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I will definitely correct Hou Aiqing's name. ”

The people suddenly thundered with joy and shouted long live in unison, and Zhu Yujian faced the cheers of a group of gentry and the tsunami, but he was not happy at all. This support should have belonged to the king, but it fell to a minister, since ancient times, if he succeeds in the Northern Expedition, then throughout the history of Guo Ziyi, I am afraid that there is no great credit for Hou Xuanyan.

Hou Xuanyan slipped away early, this kind of scene was too embarrassing, and he was a little embarrassed. As soon as I arrived in the tent, I saw a familiar face, Gu Youde, the richest man in Suzhou, sitting in the tent. Seeing Hou Xuanyan recently, he stood up, and Gu Youde, who was full of white hair, smiled like an old fox who had become a fine land.

Hou Xuanyan greeted him and asked, "This scene by the Qiantang River, is it your old ghost?" ”

Gu Youde laughed treacherously and said: "Wen Yuan, your territory is now three or four Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so do you still have the name of a governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how can you convince the public." Besides, you vigorously support Kaihai, those wealthy businessmen make a lot of money, even if I don't encourage them, they are happy and convinced of you. And your fellow countryman Gong Zifang, who has done a good business at sea, these maritime merchants all have to rely on his snort, and they themselves want to slap you, not all of them are my push. ”

Hou Xuanyan was noncommittal, the name of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is indeed difficult to convince the public. The goal of restoring Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been achieved for a long time, how can such an official name be motionless, and the imperial court really can't stand itself at this point.

Out of Hou Xuanyan's big tent, Gu Shouye came to his father's side and asked, "Dad, how is it, what did Wen Yuan say?" ”

Gu Youde glanced at him coldly and scolded: "I gave Ling'er to him at that time, it was for the sake of our Gu family's hundred-year plan, but you jumped up and down, which made everyone suspicious." My own uncle, you don't dare to meet in the account, I Gu Youde Yingming I, why did I give birth to such an indisputable thing as you. ”

Gu Shouye's face was scornful, but fortunately, he was used to his father's scolding. Licking his face, he said: "Ling'er is so small, I'm definitely not a father who can't bear it." ”

"Hmph, I just saw two beautiful embryos in his tent, and they look exactly the same. It seems that this kid is not a righteous gentleman, fortunately, I made a quick decision and won the status of a wife for our Ling'er, otherwise if I stay for a few years, this kid may have a group of wives and concubines. ”
