Chapter 156: Frustration

And what made Zhu Changluo even more puzzled was that with the status of the Xu family, there was no need to express his attitude in the battle for the country so early, any ruler with a little vision knew how important a loyal, reliable and capable Xun family played in maintaining the stability of Ying Tianfu, it can be said that as long as the Xu family did not make a rebellion on their own, they would get unlimited tolerance from the ruler......

So they don't have to bet on the prince like other ministers in the court, hoping to be able to soar from the dragon's strength, and even for the Xu family, low-key duty is the way they have always behaved, at least for the time being, in Zhu Changluo's opinion, the Xu family is now standing in line except to provoke Zhu Yijun's displeasure, there will be no other results, but is this Duke of Wei really such an unwise person?

Zhu Changluo has reservations about this!

Because it turns out that the successive Wei Guogongs did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, which is also the reason why their titles can really rest with the country!

And Zhu Changluo can easily see that such a big scene today is definitely Xu Hongji's intention, just looking at the sweat on his forehead, he knows that he is not easy, but he still insists on doing this, I am afraid that it is not as simple as welcoming him as the king of longevity......

Sitting in the front hall, Zhu Changluo slowly sipped tea, but his mind had already drifted out of the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for Xu Hongji, after bringing him into the door, he confessed his guilt and went back to freshen up and change clothes, after all, the heavy official uniform was cumbersome and hot, and it was really not suitable for ordinary wear, and Zhu Changluo could indeed see that Xu Hongji had been in the sun for so long, and he was afraid that his body would not be able to hold it out......

After a while, Xu Hongji, who had changed into civilian clothes, came out of the back hall, wearing a wide woven gold robe, his spirit was much better, and he arched his hand and said.

"My lord has been weak since he was a child, which makes His Highness smile......"

After that, the guests and hosts sat separately, and there were a few delicate maids who were either fanning behind their backs or stepping forward to serve tea, and the scene was very relaxed.

After cleaning up his words a little, Zhu Changluo said slowly.

"The Duke of Wei is polite, this king heard that the Duke of Wei is the pillar of the country when he was in Beijing, and he has worked hard to guard Nanjing for the imperial court! When this king first arrived in Yingtian, he came to visit one or two from now on, but it was such a battle of Wei Guogong that scared this king......"

Zhu Changluo is not a fool, he naturally knows what to say and what not to say, although Xu Hongji greeted him in front of the mansion with great momentum, but he always felt that there was something wrong with it.

In a sentence, he vaguely praised Xu Hongji, in fact, it also implied a temptation, if this Xu Hongji really regarded him as the future prince, he should be humble at this moment, say anything about worrying about the country, dare not say hard work and the like, and then he should push the boat down the river and say that there is any help, and then Zhu Changluo made some appropriate requests, and the guests and hosts on both sides enjoyed themselves, which was tacitly tacitly about some things......

It's a pity that Xu Hongji's face was slightly complacent, and he nodded reservedly and said.

"Your Royal Highness has won the award, and the prince of my country has just been knighted, and he has not done anything yet, but it is all thanks to the work of his father!"

In the words, there was a strong sense of arrogance and complacency, which meant that I didn't do anything because I had just taken the title, and I would definitely surpass the merits of my father and ancestors in the future, and I didn't refute the title of the pillar of the country, and took it directly......

Zhu Changluo smiled, but his heart sank, knowing that today was in vain!

This Xu Hongji seems to be young and weak, but in fact he is also an ambitious master, and he has no good impression of him at all, he is not a stupid person, he naturally understands the truth of stopping at the point, since the other party is not willing to help him, then it is useless to say more, after talking like this for a while, Zhu Changluo got up and left......

Sun Ping on the side was at a loss, his Royal Highness obviously had something to do today, why didn't he say a word when he arrived at the place?

But this is not something he should worry about, it is still early, whether it is in the Nanjing Ministry or in the Wei State Mansion, His Royal Highness has only stayed for a short time, and it is obvious that the matter has not been done, so do you just go back?

Sun Ping said cautiously.

"Your Highness, we're going ...... next"

"Go to the Taining Marquis Mansion!"

As soon as Zhu Changluo gritted his teeth, he still didn't believe it, and he couldn't do it again and again?

This Xu Hongji doesn't want to see him, so he will go to Chen Liangbi, and I don't believe that Chen Liangbi also has such an attitude!

Like the title of Duke of Wei, the title of Marquis of Taining was also obtained with Emperor Jing, but whether it is merit or reputation, Marquis Taining and Duke Wei are not figures of the same rank.

You must know that the first generation of Taining Marquis Chen Qi was just a hundred households under Xu Da, because he acted as a striker in the battle of Jingnan, so after Jingnan, the hero of Dafeng got a marquis.

However, unlike the Duke of Wei, most of the successive dynasties of Taining Marquis after Chen Qi relied on military exploits to consolidate their titles, such as the northern expedition to Mobei during the Chengzu period, the pacification of Yao thieves during the Yingzong period, the garrison in Wuzhou, and then the Ningxia in the Xiaozong period......

In the hands of Chen Liangbi, he is already the eleventh generation of Taining Hou, but at this time, Taining Hou has jumped to the top of the line, and his status can be equal to the Fei family in the capital, otherwise, he would not be awarded the position of Nanjing garrison by Zhu Yijun in this situation!

And Zhu Changluo vaguely remembered that in the original history, after the Tatars entered the customs, the Marquis of Taining was one of the relatives who coexisted with Nanjing to the death, but it was the last Duke of Wei who surrendered directly without backbone......

The Marquis of Taining's Mansion is also the mansion of the original Chengzu Qin, and unlike today's luxurious world, this mansion maintains the frugal style of the early Ming Dynasty, and strictly follows the regulations of the Marquis' Mansion, which may be related to the fact that Chen Jue's position was not stable at the beginning......

Compared with the Wei State Mansion, the welcome of the Taining Marquis Mansion is slightly shabby, although the middle door is also wide open, but Chen Liangbi did not personally come out to greet him, what came out was his son Chen Wenli, who is as old as Zhu Changluo, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a hint of literary atmosphere, and Zhu Changluo was even a little nervous when he spoke, and the servants and maids in the house did not all go out to greet him, only a few housekeepers and maids appeared, and they entered the mansion in a plain way, but this kind of scene made Zhu Changluo feel a trace of expectation in his heart......

"My father is waiting for His Highness in the front hall!"

Chen Wenli's voice was a little nervous, leading Zhu Changluo forward, his steps were not hurried or slow, and his mouth was gentle, which was quite easy to make people feel good.

I don't know how Chen Liangbi, a dignified martial marquis, could give his son such a name as Wenli......

Zhu Changluo muttered in his heart, but he reached out and touched the envelope in his sleeve robe, and strode towards the front hall......
