Chapter 279: Face Saint

Nanjing Cining Palace.

"Huan'er! Don't do this to the colt in the future! It's not a formal occasion, you want to save face for the horse, Xiaohu has a title after all, and he is also the strongest general in the imperial court, with outstanding military achievements and fame all over the world! While you should kneel, you should also stop it. Although you are a princess, Xiaohu is different from ordinary horses after all, and in the future, Xiaohu is afraid that he will be crowned a prince. Our Zhu family has Xiaohu in the world, and there are peerless generals like Fu Chenghou to have today! The royal nobles must know how to be humble, don't you behave very well to Mrs. Wang's wife and Mrs. Fuchenghou, why should you be a little tiger alone? Between young couples, what is actually needed is mutual respect, and it is also a blessing for you to have such a little tiger and a horse, how many princesses are so lucky? It has always been difficult for royal women to find a haode husband! ”

Naturally, it was the Empress Dowager Zou who spoke, and it was Princess Zhu Shuhuan of Yongqing who was listening to her, and the words of the Empress Dowager Zou could be described as bitter, and the pros and cons were clear, which was equivalent to telling Zhu Shuhuan the way of being a wife, for the Zhou family, the princess's shelf could not be wanted, and giving her to Zhou Huchen was not to ask her to be a high-ranking princess.

Zhu Shuhuan Bingxue is smart and extremely lively, she ran behind the Empress Dowager Zou and hugged the neck of the Empress Dowager Zou and began to coquettish: "Huan'er understands, grandmother Huang, don't you see?" That Zhou Huchen's thief eyes always sneak up on me, and he keeps looking, how can he do it if he doesn't give him something powerful? ”

In fact, what Zhu Shuhuan expressed was that Zhou Huchen had taken a fancy to himself and was very satisfied with himself.

"The imperial grandmother knows that Xiaohu likes you very much, but she can't help but save face for him, and Xiaohu already has an engaged wife, and this fiancΓ©e can't get out of the marriage, so Huan'er must get along with her well in the future, don't lose your identity as a princess. Don't make people laugh, remember? Empress Dowager Zou is still worried that Zhou Hu must have a concubine, she is worried that Zhu Shuhuan will be uneasy about Gao's house, after all, Zhou Huchen's identity is too special.

"Well, Huan'er understands." Zhu Shuhuan was not very happy, how could she be happy if someone wanted to share her love as a princess: "I don't believe that little girl will be prettier than me, do you say it is the imperial grandmother?" ”

"Who is as beautiful as my family? Xiaohu doesn't know how to pity my family Huan'er in the future? ”

Empress Dowager Zou knows Zhu Shuhuan's psychology, but there is no way, it is inevitable that the two of them will be jealous of Zhou Huchen in the future, and she can only order it. The most important role in the house is actually Zhou Huchen. This requires Zhou Huchen to be able to suppress the back house, but Empress Dowager Zou also knows that Zhu Shuhuan is very beautiful, and it is not difficult to be favored, but the little girl surnamed Ma is said to be also very beautiful, and she is happy with Zhou Huchen. This seems to be more difficult than fighting, Zhu Shuhuan is too smart, too smart princess is not a good thing, especially in this case, Zhou Huchen is happy now. Zhu Shuhuan is happy, but what about in the future?

……

No matter how ugly the daughter-in-law is, she has to see her in-laws, and Zhou Huchen wants to see the emperor no matter how unwilling she is, which is commonly known as the face saint.

It was still dark the next day. Zhou Huchen got up from the bed on the fourth watch, this early dynasty official was obediently standing under the court before the fifth watch and waiting for the emperor to come to the early dynasty, not only the emperor, but all the officials were not easy. Zhou Huchen was wearing a python robe. He wanted to run outside the noon gate of the palace and wait, Zhou Huchen was not a courtier, and of course the early dynasty did not have his share. But the emperor already knew that Zhou Huchen had arrived in Nanjing, and had already said that he would summon him today, and Zhou Huchen couldn't let the emperor wait for him, so he could only run over early.

This dress is very intimidating, there is no obstacle along the way, when Zhou Huchen came to the noon gate, the two guards on duty cautiously ran over to see Zhou Huchen's noble tooth card, and then ran away without looking back with a trace of fear. This guy has a bad reputation, and the guards can't afford to mess with it, so hide as far as you can.

The officials of the previous dynasty were obviously very adaptable, and the time was very accurate, Zhou Huchen waited for nearly half an hour in a bored and stupid manner, and the sky was slightly brighter, and finally someone came.

This is a middle-aged civil official, he took a closer look at the young and somewhat excessive Zhou Huchen, who was wearing a python robe, this civil official was very curious, but the rank of this civil official was not low, and he was really not familiar with Zhou Huchen, and he was embarrassed to ask anything, he stood aside reservedly and waited for the early dynasty like Zhou Huchen.

There are more and more officials, and when the time comes, almost everyone is very curious about Zhou Huchen, and they keep glancing at Zhou Huchen in a python robe with their eyes. These officials are very familiar with each other, everyone said hello, and then they were piled up, the only exception was Zhou Huchen alone, he was very embarrassed to stand alone in place.

After a while, a group of officials began to greet loudly, obviously a court minister, Zhou Huchen stretched his neck, saw, finally someone came to relieve the siege, Zhou Huchen hurriedly stepped forward a few steps: "Xiaohu to meet Mr. Zhang, adults have always been good?" ”

It was Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who came, and when he saw Zhou Huchen, Zhang Guowei's eyes lit up, and he bowed his hand to the officials around him again and again: "Come, come!" All of you have come to get to know our little tiger in Beijing! This is my invincible prince Shaobao of the Ming Dynasty, Dongchangbo, Henan Chief Military Officer Zhou Huchen, the word Binghan, this word is still the word given to Xiaohu by the old man, everyone comes to get close! ”

Zhang Guowei is very proud, this Zhou Huchen really gives him a long face, he has won big victories one after another, the situation is very good, this is the time to show off.

Zhou Huchen's clothes are too conspicuous, coupled with his age and the recent rumors that Zhou Huchen is going to Beijing to complete his marriage, in fact, everyone has already guessed it, but they are not familiar with it, and they are embarrassed to ask directly. Now there is Zhang Guowei to pull the strings, and everyone is rushing up.

At the same time that Zhou Huchen was besieged, Cai Maode, who was more familiar with Zhou Huchen, Yan Su, the former prefect of Datong, Yang Quan and Fang Guobing, who participated in the politics of Shanxi, and Liu Fuzhi and Jiang Can, who were stained with Zhou Huchen's light, also arrived one after another.

In the greetings, the time of the court is about to come, and at this time, the most important official of the court has arrived, and the first assistant Gao Hongtu has come.

This Shoufu Lord can be said to be promoted to the position by Zhou Huchen, but unfortunately he doesn't know it. In his consciousness, Ma Shiying's downfall is a matter of course, justice has defeated evil, and Ruan Dacheng will kill himself if he does many acts of injustice, which belongs to the cycle of heavenly principles.

It can't be said that he is cold, but Gao Hongtu is a very square person, he spoke too seriously, and he simply chatted with Zhou Huchen for a few words, and the bell of the upper court rang. The palace gate opened, and the ministers began to go to court.

Once again, he was left alone, and Zhou Huchen had to wait, waiting for the emperor's summons.

It is estimated that there are a lot of government affairs in the court, and Zhou Huchen has been waiting for a long time, and the hungry Zhou Huchen is still waiting outside. originally wanted to chat with the forbidden army on the side, but as soon as Zhou Huchen approached, the faces of the forbidden soldiers who were frightened turned pale. This seems to be a rule! The soldier didn't dare to chat with him while on duty, and gave himself some explanations, and Zhou Huchen reluctantly continued to wait alone

Finally. A eunuch trotted to the noon gate: "Bixia Oral Message, Dongchang Bo Zhou Huchen Meets ~~"

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, we crossed the Inner Five Dragons Bridge, and after crossing the bridge, we are Fengtianmen, and from south to north are the three major halls of Fengtian, Huagai and Jinshen. On the east side of the three major halls, there are also Wenhua Hall and Wenlou, and on the west side are Wuying Hall and Wulou. There are many palaces in the back and on both sides, the palaces are heavy, the pavilions are forested, the carved beams are painted, and there are thousands of doors. Resplendent and magnificent, the Nanjing Forbidden City is actually the master version of the Forbidden City in the northern capital, but the scale and the old and new degrees are different.

Fengtian Temple. It is often said that the Jinluan Palace, Zhou Huchen is going to the Fengtian Palace, and it is also the first time he entered the court and the first time he saw the emperor Zhu Youxiang.

Slowly entered the Jinluan Hall with steady steps. Zhou Huchen was very regular, did not squint, and then respectfully signed up and knelt down and knocked three times. Soon, the sound of the emperor's flat body came out, and Zhou Huchen got up. This ritual is not complicated, it is just a symbol of meeting the emperor, and as an emperor on this occasion, it is to judge things by facts.

"Zhou Aiqing is really extraordinary! I love it! Zhu Youxiang's words are not excessive, because Zhou Huchen is equivalent to his son-in-law, just praise him.

This Zhu Youxiang is really exactly the same as the legend, white and fat, very rich.

Zhou Huchen still needs to be respectful, he bowed down and saluted: "Bixia praised Weichen!" ”

Zhu Youxiang smiled, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit: "Please Zhou Aiqing present the battle report before the army for the courtiers to refer to, the affairs in the army are still the most detailed in the army!" ”

This battle report was something that Zhu Youxiang and the courtiers already knew, and Zhou Huchen just submitted it again for confirmation. Zhu Youxiang is showing off, showing off himself, showing off his son-in-law's ability to fight, and at the same time, reviewing this war report is also a kind of enjoyment.

Who said that Zhu Youxiang is a pig-like emperor Zhou Huchen smacked him in the face, this emperor Bixia is not stupid at all, his previous performance was not stupid at all, and now he himself does not praise the merits of Zhou Huchen's father and son, let alone his own wisdom. Instead, let the courtiers boast, and then, it was affirmed that he would be successful again. Zhu Youxiang's wisdom for the way of the king is full of it, Zhou Huchen has to start admiring him, the real history has really been tampered with by those barbarian lackeys, although he has taken suppressive measures against himself, but Zhu Youxiang, the long-suffering emperor, seems to have the potential of a generation of Ming Jun.

The means of showing off is to read it out in public, and this war report is different from the war reports that have been transmitted to Nanjing one after another, it is equivalent to a summary, and at the same time it is a summary that has been polished countless times, in addition to detailed data and combat experience, this war report is full of inspiring content.

The emperor is satisfied, the courtiers are satisfied, and it is estimated that everyone in the world will be satisfied, this is the face project.

The face project is to tout, praise each other, especially the emperor, and it is best to praise the emperor before and after him. Of course, Zhu Youxiang was well received, but it was far from his goal, because the current ministers of the DPRK and China have changed too many people, and Gao Hongtu, the first assistant, is too reserved, which makes the words and deeds of the courtiers very restrained, and no one dares to be presumptuous.

Today, the emperor is not only showing off, but also has a purpose to look at his son-in-law.

Zhou Huchen's son-in-law is good, although the princess is not her own daughter, she is also her own daughter and a princess, it is quite good to be able to match a son-in-law like Zhou Huchen, and the emperor is very satisfied. All the courtiers were also very satisfied, because Zhou Huchen came to Nanjing, and the suppression of Zhou Huchen was successful, and it was also an achievement to be able to suppress this bold and reckless Jingzhong Tiger.

The princess's marriage is decided by the emperor and the queen mother, but the specific matters of the marriage are decided by the Ministry of Rites.

Out of the palace gate, with a long breath, Zhou Huchen was finally temporarily liberated. (To be continued......)
