Chapter 249: Shou Ning Hou and Jian Chang Hou
"Lord Kaiyu, the person who kidnapped Deputy Envoy Hatano has been investigated!" After Wu Shan entered the hall, he immediately bowed down to report, with a very strange smile on his face.
"Great, who is so bold as to rob foreign envoys, is there any danger to Deputy Envoy Hatano now?" Zhou Zhong also immediately asked when he heard this, although Ashikaga Kazuki and they are not real envoys, but after all, they represent Ashikaga Yoshisai, and they were brought by him personally, so he has the responsibility to bring them back safely.
Hearing Zhou Chong's question, Wu Shan's strange smile on his face became heavier, and he immediately lowered his head and replied: "Lord Qiyu, the person who captured the deputy envoy is Jianchanghou, as for the safety of the deputy envoy of Hatano, there should be no need to worry, Jianchanghou will definitely not hurt him." ”
As soon as Wu Shan's words fell, Ma Liang and Wu Shi beside him couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhou Chong, so they hurriedly covered their mouths, looking very uncomfortable.
Zhou Zhong finally discovered the strangeness of Wu Shan and the others at this time, and asked very strangely at the moment: "Wu Shan, what are you and Ma Liang laughing at, and what is the origin of that Jianchang Hou, who has such a big courage to dare to kidnap the envoys of the subject country in broad daylight?" ”
Hearing Zhou Zhong ask about the identity of Jianchanghou, Wu Shan immediately suppressed his smile and introduced: "My lord doesn't know, the identity of this Jianchanghou is terrible, he and Shou Ninghou are both the younger brothers of the current Queen Mother, that is, the uncle of His Majesty, His Majesty Xiaozong favored the Queen Mother back then, and he did not accept other concubines in his life, so he was also particularly favored by the two Houye." ”
When he said this, Wu Shan stepped forward and said in a low voice: "It is precisely because of the favor of the first emperor that this also makes the temper of the two Hou masters inevitably a little arrogant. Always do something wrong. No one dared to care. Among them, Shou Ninghou is okay, especially after His Majesty ascended the throne today, so that Shou Ninghou has converged a lot, but Jianchang Hou was knighted when he was a teenager, and his personality is arrogant and perverse. Not to mention an ordinary person, even an official eunuch would not dare to provoke him easily. ”
"Shou Ninghou? Jianchang waiting? Zhou Zhong finally remembered who these two people were, it turned out that they were Zhengde's two uncles Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, although there are not many records of these two people in history, but most of them say that they are rampant, relying on the love of their sister Empress Dowager Zhang, no one has dared to do anything to them, and even Zhengde wants to punish their crimes, and finally because of the intervention of Empress Dowager Zhang, it can be seen how difficult these two people are.
"Huh? That's not right. Jianchanghou is His Majesty's new uncle, no matter how much he messes around. But why did he want to kidnap Deputy Envoy Hatano, wasn't he afraid of His Majesty's blame? Zhou Zhong asked a little strangely again at this time, even if there is the protection of the Queen Mother, but taking away the envoys of other countries is a big crime to kill the head, I am afraid that even if the Queen Mother is favoritistic, I am afraid that the most Empress Jianchanghou will also suffer a lot because of this.
"My lord, you misunderstood, Jianchang Hou kidnapped Deputy Envoy Hatano, not because of the identity of the other party!" At this time, Wu Shan whispered in Zhou Chong's ear again, "Jianchang Hou not only likes women, but also likes men, when he sees a beautiful man on the street, he will find a reason to take the other party to the mansion, and then ...... Hey~"
When Zhou Zhong heard this, his whole body also felt a chill, and at the same time, he felt a little helpless for himself to travel to this era, originally Hatano Hidego was the small surname of Ashikaga Yoshisai, but now it's good, after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, he was snatched away by Jianchang Hou, a scumbag bisexual, and the person has been robbed for so long, it is estimated that the two have become good friends.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong was disgusted at the same time, and he couldn't help but have a feeling of irony, speaking of which Hatano Xiuxiang and Jianchang Hou are also fateful, the two can still make a pair thousands of miles apart, and the wonder of the world is really elusive.
"Wu Shan, you gather Jinyiwei, let's go to Jianchang Houfu to ask for someone!" Zhou Zhong quickly instructed that although Hatano Xiuxiang was not a good bird, he brought it himself after all, so he had to bring people back. As for Jianchanghou, although he has the support of the Queen Mother behind him, with Zhou Chong's current fame and power, presumably the other party will not dare not give him this face.
Seeing that Zhou Chong was willing to come forward to save people, Ashikaga Kazuki and Tayama Naoyoshi in the living room were also excited, and Zhou Chong's voice was very soft when he talked to Wu Shan just now, in order not to let the two of them hear it, after all, Emperor Ming had an uncle like Jianchanghou, which was really not a decent thing.
It's just that when Wu Shan heard that Zhou Zheng directly led people to Jianchang Houfu to ask for people, his face was also a little hesitant, but he didn't say anything, and immediately turned around and went out to gather people, and soon gathered more than a hundred Jinyi guards. Ashikaga Kazuki and Tayama Naoyoshi wanted to go along, but they were rejected by Zhou Chong, after all, the other party is Masantoku's uncle, and he can be regarded as a family ugly of the Ming Dynasty, so it is best not to let Ashikaga Kazuki see it.
However, just when Zhou Zhong took Wu Shan and the others out of the mansion, Wu Shan stepped forward and said: "My lord, if we want to ask for someone from Jianchanghou, we must not bring someone directly to the door, but we need to go to see someone first, if this person is willing to help, then the matter will be much simpler." ”
"Oh, why can't you come to the door directly, who are we going to ask for help?" Zhou Chong was a little surprised, although Jianchang Hou was arrogant and domineering in the capital, but Zhou Chong is not only an upstart in the Ming Dynasty now, but also his father-in-law Wang Lun is still the imperial history, if Jianchang Hou dares not to let go, there is no need for Zhou Chong to find Zhengde, just Wang Lun launched the impeachment of the imperial history is enough for Jianchang Hou to drink a pot, so as long as Jianchang Hou has a little brain, he will never dare not let go.
However, Wu Shan smiled bitterly at this time, and then explained to Zhou Chong, and after the end, Zhou Chong finally understood the painstaking meaning of what Wu Shan said. It turns out that according to Wu Shan, that Jianchanghou is really not an ordinary arrogant and domineering, and even in layman's terms, it is a bit two hundred and five, he only does things on the spur of the moment, and never thinks about the consequences, anyway, no one dares to do anything to him. It can be said that in the entire capital, except for his sister Empress Zhang and his brother Shou Ninghou, only Zhengde can make him a little afraid, and he doesn't buy anyone else's face, and even when Liu Jin saw him, he had to laugh three points.
It is precisely because he understands Jianchanghou's character, so Wu Shan Zhilu Dao even if he goes to ask for someone in person as Zhou Chongxian, I am afraid that the two hundred and five Jianchanghou will not give face, and they can't really go to Houfu to rob people, so it is best to find someone who makes Jianchanghou fearful, and this is Jianchanghou's own brother Shou Ninghou.
Speaking of Shou Ninghou is not a good thing, a few years ago, relying on the power of the Empress Dowager Zhang, a lot of land was encircled around the capital, and the bullying of men and women was also done. However, compared to his younger brother, Shou Ninghou is at least a person with brains, especially in the third year of Zhengde, Shou Ninghou brother was well rectified by Zhengde, and since then Shou Ninghou has been restrained a lot, and he also knows who can offend who they can't afford to offend, so if you want to ask someone from Jianchanghou, it is best to call Shou Ninghou, and then let him teach Jianchanghou a lesson as a brother.
Zhou Zhong immediately woke up when he heard this, although he was not afraid of Jianchang Hou, but he had to take care of the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang, so it was best to ask people out without tearing his face, so he also immediately agreed to Wu Shan's suggestion, and the two of them rushed to Shouning Houfu with a group of brocade guards at the moment.
Shouning Houfu is on a street not far from the east side of the imperial city, and Jianchang Houfu is also nearby, only one street away from Shouning Houfu. When he came to the door of Shouning Mansion, Zhou Chong asked people to send their name stickers, and the people in the Hou Mansion saw the momentum of Zhou Chong's body, as well as the surrounding brocade guards, and also knew that it was a big man, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and rushed to the house to report to Shouning Hou.
In less than a cup of tea, I saw the door of the Houfu open, only to see a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walking out of it with a smile on his face, and when he saw Zhou Chong waiting in front of the door, he immediately smiled and said: "Presumably this is the famous Admiral Zhou, I have been hearing rumors about the Admiral during this time, I wanted to visit the Governor, but I didn't expect Admiral Zhou to come to the Waiting House in person, which really made Ben Hou honored!" ”
Shou Ninghou was talking, and he stretched out his hand to invite Zhou Chong into the house, but Zhou Chong was in a hurry to save people now, so he was naturally in no mood to drink tea with Shou Ninghou, so he showed a smile and said: "Hou Ye, you are too polite, there is an important matter to come to Hou Ye today, because the matter is urgent, so I will not enter the house to drink tea!" ”
Zhou Zhong said, and told the story of Jianchang Hou's exile of the deputy envoy of the Japanese State, Hatano Xiuxiang, to the mansion. As a result, after Shou Ninghou listened, his face had become pale, and he slapped his thigh fiercely and roared: "This brute, it's not good to rob anyone, you actually snatched the envoy of a country, see if I don't kill him this time!" ”
Zhou Chong pouted when he heard Shou Ninghou's words, thinking that this Shou Ninghou was really not a good thing, he just scolded Jianchang Hou for robbing an envoy and causing trouble, but he did not scold Jianchang Hou for robbing people and violating the law of the country.
Although Zhou Zhong is very ashamed of Shou Ninghou's brothers, he also knows that the emperor's relatives like the other party are difficult to punish their crimes for ordinary crimes, even if Jianchang Hou robbed the envoys of the Japanese State this time, but as long as the Empress Dowager Zhang is there, their brothers will be fine, so he doesn't want to make a big deal and can bring people back safely.
Shou Ning Hou knows that Dao Zhou Chong is now a hot celebrity in front of His Majesty, and even his words can make His Majesty change his mind, this kind of influence is not comparable to their brothers. So when he saw Zhou Chong coming to the door in person, he also knew that the identity of the envoy of the Japanese State was very important, and he didn't dare to delay the time, so he immediately got into Zhou Chong's carriage, and then rushed to Jianchang Houfu not far away.
