On the tower of Luoyang City, Zhu Yousong nervously inspected the high city wall, and the red-clothed cannons buckled from the Shenji Battalion had been placed on the city tower.

The soldiers of Henan Mansion have long been firmly controlled by Ma Shiying, and the general soldiers sent by Wei Zhongxian just spent money to buy official positions, how can they be a little loyal to Wei Zhongxian, since they came to Luoyang, the situation is stronger than people, and he has to bow to the powerful Fuwang Mansion.

From the moment he decided to save people, Zhu Yousong knew that he had to face the next thunderous anger of the imperial court, Zhu Youzhen was not an emperor who could rub sand in his eyes. I showed him my minions, and took advantage of the empty stalls in the capital, which was really majestic. However, when he comes to his senses and has enough time, he will definitely take revenge and come back, and Zhu Yousong has no luck at all.

Fortunately, there is still Wei Zhongxian standing in front of him, who is Zhu Youzhen's first thorn in the eye. No matter how much trouble you make yourself, Luoyang is not the capital after all, and the nine-thousand-year-old force is really in the capital, in the palace, and by Zhu Youzhen's side.

Groups of men and horses under the city hunted under the banner, and when these villagers recruited for the bandit first met the rogues, the rogues had already become their comrades. Zhu Yousong looked at these strong and powerful generals, his heart was a little calmer, and he said to Shen Muhong behind him: "Even if the imperial court wants to deal with us first, my Luoyang is not without the capital of a war. ”

Shen Muhong smiled and twisted his beard and said, "Is the prince comforting me and waiting, or is he comforting himself?" ”

"Haha, I see that Mr. is calm and relaxed, and he still has the heart to make fun of this king, is there any foolproof strategy?"

Shen Muhong spread his hands and said: "There is no perfect strategy in this world, and the so-called magic plan is just improvisation. But at the moment, we really don't have to worry about the sky, at best, you are a little arrogant after becoming famous, and we can't be the first in the court if you are worried about internal and external troubles. ”

Zhu Yousong's eyes rolled, his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he was sure that Shen Muhong must have his own reason for saying this, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"These days, Zhang Hao and I have gathered refugees and found that the number of people pouring into the Guannai from the northwest is increasing day by day, and the second king of Shaanxi, who picked up a life from under Cao Wenzhao, has made a comeback, and it has become the climate. If there are only these, forget it, what is more serious is that the government soldiers in Shaanxi have no food and salary, and they are unwilling to go to fight hard, and there are countless deserters and rebels. These people are not ordinary rebels, they are all soldiers, and they are not easy to exterminate.

At this time, as long as the prince writes to ask for guilt, and takes out some sweetness and hands it to the court to show respect, the court will not dare to force the prince. Zhao Hong's trip to the capital is not without some benefits, at least let the imperial court know that Luoyang is not a place that can be easily pacified. ”

Zhu Yousong nodded while listening, Shen Muhong's knowledge was limited, he didn't know that Liaodong was also fighting fiercely at this time, Huang Taiji had just conquered Korea, and with the momentum of a great victory, he invaded Ningyuan, and Yuan Chonghuan was resisting to the death. And Zhu Youzhen has to deal with Wei Zhongxian, who he cares about the most, and he really can't be ranked. Maybe when he completely eradicates Wei Zhongxian, he will be the primary target.

Zhu Yousong, who was standing on the city tower overlooking the capital, suddenly found a group of cavalry galloping in the distance, holding a big banner with the word "Fu" in his hand. Zhu Yousong said happily: "It's Zhao Hong, they're back, let's go, let's go out to meet them." ”

The gate of Luoyang City slowly opened, and these soldiers who marched day and night looked a little tired on their faces, but their military appearance was quite neat, and they drove into Luoyang City to rest. Zhao Hong was not idle along the way, and the marching and training of the army were not delayed, and these horses were already more like soldiers than when they were first recruited.

Shen Muhong nodded again and again, and praised: "Zhao Hong is really a general, after a few days of leading the troops, these soldiers and horses have changed. ”

Zhu Yousong didn't see it, after all, these people were all commanded by Shen Muhong before, and he hadn't seen what these rogues looked like before. But since Shen Muhong said so, it must be true, Zhu Yousong said happily: "Although these members of mine are all peddlers and pawns, depressed and unwilling, there are few mediocre talents. ”

When the carriage carrying Zhou Shuye came to the city gate, Zhao Hong opened the curtain and saw Zhu Yousong, his face showed joy. Zhu Yousong stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Hong, who was about to get off the carriage and salute, and after saying goodbye to Shen Muhong and others, Zhu Yousong stopped the carriage, jumped into the carriage himself, and instructed the groom to say, "Go back to the palace directly." ”

After entering the car and seeing Zhou Shuye lying in it, Zhu Yousong's nose was sour, and he said, "Old Zhou, you have suffered." ”

Zhou Shuye struggled to get up and salute, but was pressed there by Zhu Yousong, his eyes were red and swollen. "The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay him as a countryman", although he often calls himself a lackey, but Zhu Yousong's actions really moved this down-and-out scholar who was almost numb.

"Lord Wang, it's not worth it for me, now our strength is exposed in front of Xinjun's eyes." Zhou Shuye choked up.

Zhu Yousong thanked him for being able to resist such torture and did not betray himself, and deliberately scolded: "Then I will send you back, I see that you have not stayed enough in the edict prison, and you still want to go back to be useful." ”

Zhao Hong and Zhou Shuye laughed out loud in the car, and Zhou Shuye begged for mercy: "It's too much to care about, I don't want to go to that place again in my life." ”

When the carriage came to the palace, Zhu Yousong instructed Menzi to go to the good doctor to find a stretcher, and several guards carried Zhou Shuye to his residence in the outer palace of the palace. Pushing open the door, it has been uninhabited for a long time, and no one has cleaned it up, and there is a cold and cold meaning as soon as you enter the door. Zhu Yousong frowned and said, "You better live in the good doctor first, it's also convenient to change the medicine, and I'll ask Yue'er to bring someone over to serve you for a few days." ”

The palace served Lao Shutou, knowing that Zhu Yousong had returned to the house, and rushed over, Zhu Yousong saw him, and just remembered that Su Yue had been living in the Shizi Mansion and living with the maids. Zhu Yousong has been away for a long time, rarely returns home, and has no time to settle her. Just took this opportunity to give her a separate courtyard in the inner courtyard of the palace, and asked Lao Shutou to allocate a few maids to her.

When she came to the inner courtyard, Su Yue was looking at the door, she had already heard Zhu Yousong tell her about her father, and Su Yue was both worried and grateful. The charming face of this Luoyang No. 1 stunner is full of sadness, and it looks even more pitiful, which makes people want to hold it in their arms and comfort it. Seeing Zhu Yousong returning home, he rushed over with his skirt and asked timidly, "Master, my father and him?" ”

"He's back, I'm about to tell you, he's not lightly injured, you go to the good doctor to take care of him for a few days."
