"Okay, but I'm a little wronged by Lord Xiong." Zhu Youcheng said affirmatively, "Although the emperor dismissed you as a citizen and never used you, he still knew in his heart that Lord Xiong was wronged. King Xin will give you a little compensation here, and the emperor won't mind. Besides, the Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division is a newly established yamen, the purpose of which is to protect the country in Jingbian, which is different from the tasks of other Jinyi Wei Yamen, so the emperor's management is relatively loose, and there is no big problem for Lord Xiong to enter the Xizhen Fusi. But Lord Xiong is a civil official, and now that he has entered the military position, will it be insulting to Sven? ”

The Ming Dynasty used civil power to control the military, and the civil officials had a low grade but a high status; The military generals are of high rank, but they are controlled by civilian officials. Therefore, Zhu Youcheng was worried that Xiong Tingbi, as a former feudal official, would not want to become a military general.

Xiong Tingbi laughed and said: "As long as he can serve the Ming Dynasty, regardless of his civilian and military duties, my old bear will admit it." ”

After speaking, Xiong Tingbi knelt down on one knee, gave a military salute to Zhu Youcheng, and said, "Subordinates see the general." ”

Zhu Youcheng helped him up and said with a smile: "This military salute, Xizhen Fusi has long been out of fashion." Xizhen Fusi's military salute, you have to study hard, otherwise you, a deputy Qianhu, will be laughed to death by others. ”

"Deputy Qianhu? Lord Zhu ......"

"What's the matter, the suspicion is that the official has a low position? There's no way, the emperor is still angry with you, and if you raise it too high all of a sudden, the emperor's face can't get by. ”

"No, no, Lord Zhu, I think the official position is too high, and I deserve it."

"I'm afraid that the small temple of Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Si can't invite a great god like you. It doesn't matter, you have the right to stay here, and when Daming thinks of you, you will go out when he needs you. Xizhen Fuji will not leave any difficulties. ”

The three of them gossiped for a while, and Zhu Youcheng informed Liu Jingting to send Xiong Tingbi's family to Jingxi Huangzhuang, and by the way hinted that he should hurry up and set the wedding date, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Early the next morning, people knocked on the door of the children's paradise from time to time, and it was the entourage of the Lord of the Capital who knocked on the door. These lords were a bit careless, and when they heard that King Xin was in for a treat, they went straight to the children's paradise without looking at the address of the banquet at the end of the invitation. The porter had to explain and show them the way. After doing this several times, he was also annoyed, so he found a water plaque, wrote the address of the banquet of King Xin, and drew a crooked map. The concierge is a person in the children's paradise, and he was forced to go to Tongle Primary School for a period of time, so he can write and count.

This is a lot cleaner, but it is a pity that the people in the children's paradise can not write, because the lord's coachman or sedan chair driver is still illiterate, and the porter has to pay a lot of words.

The lords turned to the Zongren Mansion one after another. In the Zongren Mansion, they couldn't help but be taken aback. It turns out that the majestic and solemn stone lion statue at the entrance of the yamen has become a relief inlaid on both sides of the yamen, and it is full of cuteness, and the head of the stone lion is a huge sunflower, on which the smiling eyes and the mouth curved upwards are drawn with stick figures, just like a cute child. When the lords saw this cute little lion, they felt as if someone had grabbed the softest part of their hearts, and they couldn't help but nod and smile. And the ladies of the lords were almost crazy, and rushed up to reach out and caress the two little lions. There are no cameras, otherwise this would have become a mecca for their selfies.

The gate of the Zongren Mansion was opened, and nearly a hundred Eight Immortal Tables were placed inside. There was a table at the entrance of the other office, and a middle-aged scribe-like figure sat next to it, probably the person receiving the gift. The sharp-eyed person can see clearly, this person has a white face and beard, speaks softly and sharply, is a eunuch, and vaguely is Wang Chengen, the confidant of King Xin.

The lords stepped forward one after another, lined up in front of Wang Chengen to give gifts to register, and then entered.

Wang Chengen was secretly surprised in his heart, Zhu Youcheng didn't invite guests, how did he know that he never lost money when he invited guests? How did he know that the invitations of later generations were called red bombs, which were so powerful that they could quickly blow up the financial budget of the Solid House into a deficit.

Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was waiting in the other ya. He wanted to ask Zhu Youcheng to give him courage, but Zhu Youcheng thought that he needed to exercise his ability to socialize independently, so he refused his invitation under the pretext that he needed to guide the cook to cook. King Xin is a good-looking person, thinking that this banquet is related to his reputation, Zhu Youcheng has first-hand cooking skills, and with casual guidance, the chef will definitely be able to show his skills and make praiseworthy dishes, so he reluctantly agreed.

However, Zhu Youcheng made full preparations for King Xin, not only sent the clever Cao Huachun to accompany him, but also increased the number of guards to ten, and King Xin's confidence was greatly increased, and he waited for the arrival of the lords with his chest high.

Cao Huachun has a very good memory, and he often goes out to run errands, and remembers the important lords in the capital very clearly. Every time a lord came in, Cao Huachun quietly reminded the lord of his title and name, and King Xin stepped forward to greet them one by one. At first, I was a little shy, but then I became more comfortable.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the people were almost there. Zhu Youcheng also came out from behind and sat next to King Xin.

Seeing that the table was full of friends, Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but raise his glass and stood up, and said loudly: "Actually, today is not only the invitation of the prince to you, but also the invitation of me Zhu to come here for a happy gathering. ”

The lord who sat close to Zhu Youcheng's table saw his face the most clearly, and many lords' faces changed color, especially the three dukes - Zhang Weixian, Duke of the United Kingdom, Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, and Xu Xihao, Duke of Dingguo, who were so shocked that their chopsticks fell. Who doesn't know Zhu Youcheng, a well-known scourge in the capital, known as the Lord Killer. If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had just ascended the throne at that time, and he dismissed so many lords at once, he was afraid that the world would be unstable, and how many lords present would not be able to meet here. The Donglin Party is always bullish, and the party henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, but with his fluttering words, the Donglin Party was uprooted. At present, many officials still sit in the court during the day and go to prison at night, which makes many literati shake their heads again and again, lamenting that Sven has swept the floor.

The three dukes did not dare to talk to each other, so they sat for a while, and then walked away in unison. As soon as they left, those lords who had forcibly occupied the land of Jingxi Huangzhuang dared to sit wherever they were, and they also followed with their feet raised. The lord, who usually had no grudge against Zhu Youcheng, saw a large group of people leaving, and he didn't know why, so he didn't dare to stay. Even the queen Zhang Yan, who got the benefits of Zhu Youcheng, followed Zhang Guoji. The hall, which was full of friends just now, suddenly became deserted, and a stool that had been accidentally squeezed crooked for a long time fell down unwillingly and reluctantly, with a muffled "bang", as if to see off the lords.

Zhu Youcheng scared all the lords away with just one sentence, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and said, "I haven't done anything yet?" Why is it gone? ”

King Xin's face showed envy, and he slapped his face and said: "Brother Cheng is so manly, so murderous, just a few words scared the usually domineering lord away. ”

The lords crowded the doorway, scrambling to get out of this unfortunate place. But he didn't want a group of fans to come in from outside the door, surrounded by a person, it was the most powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch of ceremonies and the eunuch of Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian watched these lords scramble to leave the Zongren Mansion, and sneered gloomily: "You guys are so busy, you haven't eaten any food, so you plan to leave?" ”

The British Duke Zhang Weixian made a meritorious contribution to the establishment, and was not afraid of Wei Zhongxian, and said: "No, this lord doesn't want to eat today." Anyway, people have come, gifts have been given, and great face has been given, can't you still leave? ”

"You can go, but the emperor's will has not been conveyed yet, are you too anxious?"

Hearing the Emperor's will, the lords stopped.

deliberately not listening to the emperor's will is no different from resisting the will, not to mention those viscounts and earls, even the ruthless characters like the British Duke who are not afraid of heaven and earth, do not dare to go again.

"Well, you're going to listen here, but I don't like to talk about it here."

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian separated from everyone, walked into the lobby, and walked straight to Zhu Youcheng's table. He was present on behalf of the emperor, so he could naturally sit on the chairman.

Zhu Youcheng was overjoyed and nodded at Wei Zhongxian, who also responded with a smile. Then, Wei Zhongxian respectfully greeted King Xin. Originally, he came on behalf of the emperor and did not need to pay tribute to the king of Fan. However, he knew that Zhu Youcheng and King Xin were like brothers, and respecting King Xin would make him happier than respecting him. Sure enough, after seeing the ceremony, King Xin and Zhu Youcheng were so happy that their eyes narrowed into a line.
