Chapter 272: Embarrassment
Zhu Houzhao came out this time, although he couldn't say that he was hugging each other, but whether it was Xu Xun or Liu Jin, these eunuchs, they would not be relieved that the young emperor who had just ascended the throne was hanging around like this, so he had already secretly informed Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi not to say that Gu Dayong ordered the people of Xichang to deploy along the road, and Xu Xun also ordered Qian Ning to take twenty or thirty young troops to secretly respond, even if it could not be said to be foolproof, but it also reduced the probability of an accident to the lowest point.
But when he came out of the Wang family, Zhu Houzhao looked left and right, and found that there was no one in this alley, he immediately glanced at these people who accompanied him out today with extremely unkind eyes, especially Xu Xun and Liu Jingu who glanced at him viciously, and then snorted lightly: "I came out to inspect the customs and customs, and I didn't come out to pretend, what do you want me to see like this?" Go, Gu Dayong, let your Xichang staff withdraw first, don't let people know at a glance that I am a disciple of Guijie, take them farther away; Xu Xun, let your people inform Beizhen Fusi, don't follow me. I'm going to Mutton Alley now, just let them guard on both sides of the alley, and don't let me dangle in front of me! ”
Just the four words of mutton alley, Xu Xun immediately understood what Zhu Houzhao meant. Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao waited for Gu Dayong to order someone to pass the word, and found an excuse to send the other servants except Liu Jin and Gu Dayong far away, and then hooked his finger at him with a smile: "Xu Xun, although after that time, I asked Gu Dayong to go to the mutton alley again and again to check, and I didn't see any big girls dressed up there, but I remember you said before, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, I think you must have hidden the golden house there!" All in all, even if you're not there, you're going to have to conjure people for me! ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't have much consciousness as an emperor, so as he spoke, I had gradually become used to it again. Xu Xun, who noticed this, saw that Liu Jin was only smiling vigorously next to him, but Gu Dayong was a little inexplicable, he thought about it for a while, and then agreed helplessly: "Since the emperor said so, then I have to lead the way." ”
"You're interested!" Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and then shouted at Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, "You two are keeping secrets for me and Xu Xun, if there is any news outside in the future, I will settle accounts with you two!" ”
"Yes, yes, the emperor doesn't know that I am a stuffy Liu? When have the words passed through my ears over the years? Liu Jin pulled Gu Dayong to admit it, and then smiled and sent Zhu Houzhao and Xu Xun to the carriage.
Now that the weather is hot, the door used to shelter from the wind and rain in winter has long been removed, and the front is a layer of spotted bamboo curtain and a layer of light yarn pasted on the top, which is light and breathable, and can block dust. The brocade mattress in the car has also been replaced with cool bamboo mats, and even the floor of the carriage has been covered with a layer of extremely smooth polished mats, plus there are only Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao in the huge car, which naturally looks extremely spacious and comfortable. Because of the westward direction nowadays, the number of cars and horses and pedestrians on Xuanwumen Street has decreased much compared with before, and the mansions of dignitaries and dignitaries in the alleys in the west are gradually hung with plain lanterns.
"I can't see anything in the palace, and sooner or later, I'll build a mansion outside and move out!"
After driving for a long time, Zhu Houzhao, who had been silent all the way, suddenly burst out with such a sentence without a head, and immediately looked at Xu Xun intently and said: "Also, sooner or later, one day, I will go out of the capital to see what the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty are like, I don't want to blindly listen to the reports of the four seas to level the world's wealth, I must see it with my own eyes!" ”
"It's good for the emperor to have this heart, just go step by step, and eat a mouthful, now that you have just ascended the throne, everything has to start, please don't rashly mention these words in front of others, and the court will explode when the time comes."
"I'm just telling you that you're not an outsider!" Zhu Houzhao frowned unhappily, and then leaned back, his head could be pillowed on a soft pillow, "I used to think that Wang Shouren was the same as you, bold and talented, not just thinking about those etiquette laws, but when I saw him today, I knew that it was impossible for him to teach me archery and teach me to read like before." Not to mention him, it's Liu Jin outside, Gu Dayong, and others, all of whom have changed their appearances...... Well, what makes me happy is that you haven't changed, and you're still the same to me as before! ”
Xu Xun was so crying and laughing by Zhu Houzhao's words. He is a person of two lives, and later generations always have a kind of dissociation from the imperial power, and he really can't be as awe-inspiring as he is to Dabin in Zhu Houzhao, so he naturally brings out such a kind of casual coming when he gets along with ordinary people. Unless he is not the only one who is blessed in this world, otherwise, where will Zhu Houzhao find another one for him?
So, he thought about it again and again, and finally only held back one sentence: "Thank you for the emperor's compliment." ”
"Very good, if it were someone else, I would have said that I should have died for a long time!" Zhu Houzhao sat up straight all of a sudden, raised his toes and kicked Xu Xun's shinbone, and smiled suddenly, "Originally, this world belongs to my father, I didn't expect to take over so quickly, I always feel that I am the prince in my heart...... Xu Xun, you say, how about I make you a big official...... Hmm, it's just the book of the military department! In this way, if they can agree to change the early dynasty to the fifth dynasty, you can also appear in the Wenhua Hall every day, and I will not be alone! ”
As soon as the words fell, the carriage outside suddenly came to an abrupt stop. Zhu Houzhao didn't sit still, and the whole person rushed forward, and Xu Xun was shocked by Zhu Houzhao's words and his head was full of black lines, and he was stunned and suddenly found that it was inappropriate to reach out to help, and the forward momentum was too great, so the two of them rolled into a pile in a moment, and finally hit the bamboo curtain at the same time. Although both ends of this bamboo curtain are tied to the front frame of the car with straps, they can't afford to collide with the two people one after another, so they only heard a cracking sound, and the curtain finally couldn't bear to break, and Xu Xun in front of him almost fell out.
Fortunately, Gu Da used his fat body to block, and the healthy horse pulling the cart was also well-trained, so he finally stopped, and the two gentlemen and ministers in the car did not fall out of the car. Even so, Zhu Houzhao and Xu Xun were still embarrassed, especially Xu Xun's left ear also pulled a bloody mark on the bamboo curtain, not to mention the folds of the clothes.
"What's the matter, Liu Jin, how did you catch the car, you want to fall to death the two of us!"
Gu Dayong is better, but he is sitting in the driver's seat to make a appearance, but Liu Jin is distracted, while listening to the movements of the young monarch in the car, while taking care of the road conditions to catch the car, it doesn't matter if he comes and goes, when he heard that Zhu Houzhao was going to give Xu Xun a military department book, he finally lost his mind all of a sudden, but when he found that there was an emergency in front of him to stop, it was already too late. At this time, facing the angry little emperor, he was bitter in his heart, but when he squinted at the movement of that place, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly lowered his head.
"Childe, the little one really didn't mean it, it was really a sudden mess in front of me, and I was stunned all of a sudden......"
Zhu Houzhao heard what was the confusion, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and hurriedly looked over there, and sure enough, he saw a person standing at the door of a shop in this mutton alley, surrounded by many errand soldiers, and many people were watching there, and most of the good roads were blocked. Not only that, but the shopkeepers in the shops on both sides of the road were looking at the excitement with their heads open, and some people were still shouting indignantly.
Compared with Zhu Houzhao, who was looking around, although Xu Xun didn't know the person who was surrounded in it, he found that the location was not far from Shen Yue's embroidery village. Finding that the chief officer shook the chain and led his men to force up, he groaned slightly, and when he looked around, he found a lonely man who was looking there.
"Little brother, may I ask what's going on?"
"What's going on? Master Luo was just preaching the teachings of the Wuji Holy Ancestor, and he didn't know that the government was full of food and support, so he was going to come to get people! "That young man is obviously young and vigorous, and he is holding back his anger at this moment, and he doesn't even see Xu Xun, a stranger, outside, "Master Luo is not one of those monks who only knows how to turn into a fate and doesn't do anything, he can understand all the truths, and he is much more clever than those monks who fool people!" Why didn't the Xicheng Terracotta Division know how to catch those monks who didn't work in the temple but had people to support them! ”
Xu Xun was puzzled for a moment when he heard the word Luo, but Zhu Houzhao didn't know when he sneaked over, but he asked coldly: "Who is this Luo, is he really as clever as you say?" ”
"Why aren't you smart? Luo Dashi said, to become a Buddha, you don't have to sit in meditation, you don't have to do asceticism, you don't have to recite the Buddha's scriptures, as long as you have good thoughts in your heart, you can get the right results...... And the hard work in this life but no result, in the next life can we get good retribution, so what is the use of doing good deeds in this life and this life? The young man pursed his lips disdainfully, and when he saw that the official had really locked people up, he couldn't help but clench his fists, "It's too much, so many people in Pingyu are listening, why don't anyone dare to stand up at this time!" ”
Seeing that Zhu Hou was looking at the tolerance of the few locked people, as if he was going to come to the road to see the injustice and draw a knife to help, Xu Xun hurriedly pulled the people down, and signaled Liu Jingu to take a good look at this master. It wasn't until the officers passed by with a show of strength that he deliberately glanced at the fifty or sixty so-called Luo Dashi, and saw that his eyes were calm and did not have the slightest panic, his pace was steady and calm, and he did not take advantage of the chaos to incite those believers, he couldn't help but stare at the back thoughtfully, and then led Zhu Houzhao into the embroidery village in front. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ruyi greeted him with surprise on his face.
"Lord Shizi, why are you here!"
"Well, bring a guest to sit down." Seeing Ruyi staring at Zhu Houzhao with a strange face, he knew that Xiao Nizi had seen Zhu Houzhao at that time, so he coughed lightly and diverted the topic, "What happened outside just now?" ”
"What's going on? It's not that those soldiers of the Xicheng Terracotta Division saw that Luo Dashi was respected, so they wanted to blackmail people, and within two days, there would be good men and women who couldn't see Luo Dashi's suffering to go to the Terracotta Division to spend money to ransom people. ”
With this voice, Shen Yue opened the curtain and walked out of it, only to say to Xu Xun You still know, and the next moment I saw Zhu Houzhao poking his head out from behind Xu Xun, beckoning to himself with a smile, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
