Chapter 388: Hometown Cowardice

The news of Zhu Houzhao's return to the capital was not as sensational as expected, and there was no birdman who had nothing to do to impeach the king of war and leave his post without permission.

Then the hell is that you don't feel good for yourself.

What's more, impeachment is usually done by the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is gone, it is still a fart.

As for the people, they are concerned about their own livelihood, and those things that are too much beyond their comprehension can be talked about for a few words, and who will keep an eye on them.

Zhu Houzhao was escorted to the War King's Mansion like this!

This is the only palace built in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the only palace that the emperor funded and did not confiscate the silver, but the male owner of this palace has never appeared.

Now Zhu Houzhao is back!

"This palace is well repaired, but this king still likes the leopard room, by the way, do you know what happens to the beasts in the leopard room of this king?"

Fang Xiang, who originally mobilized the crowd to arrest the criminals, became the most loyal bodyguard of the king of war at this moment, specially escorting the king of war back to his home, not to mention, but also tirelessly answering Zhu Houzhao's countless questions along the way.

"The general doesn't know, Your Majesty ordered most of the beasts in the leopard room to be released into the mountains and forests after the general left Beijing to go north, Your Majesty said, even if it is a beast, it should have the appearance of a beast, and the beast in the cage, even if it is a mad tiger, is actually no different from a sick cat."

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said: "This guy talks a set of things, why didn't he see it before?" By the way, what is he doing with this? ”

Fang Xiang smiled bitterly: "Because Your Majesty said that soldiers are fierce beasts, and the battlefield is mountains and forests!"

"Pretty." Zhu Houzhao praised him: "So how many leopards are left in the leopard room?"

"Well, there are a few left, saying that it is the green dragon and white tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, which is auspicious."

Zhu Houzhao understood in seconds.

"Okay, the king has returned home, so you can go."

"Yes." Fang Xiang stood solemnly and saluted a standard military salute.

The door of the War King's Mansion was closed, Zhu Houzhao made a look, and the guards stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.

After the palace was built, the knocker of the main entrance may have been knocked for the first time.

No one knows when the owner of the palace will come back, but no one in the world dares to ignore this palace, because the owner of this palace is the king of war, the king of war who has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and as for the other layers of identity of the king of war, including the small things such as the Zen position to Emperor Jiajing, no one will mention it again.

Wealthy mansions have gatehouses, and the War King's Mansion will naturally be no exception, and it is the eunuchs in the palace who sit in the gatehouse, and they are still dozing, and when they hear the sound of the knocker, they only think that they are hallucinating, until the sound of the knocker rings again, which is a stirring.

"Who?" The little eunuch opened the door and looked out vigilantly, and as soon as he asked, his eyes straightened.

The little eunuch saw Zhu Houzhao!

Although the little eunuch who has been in the palace for five or six years has not seen the emperor a few times, he is still impressed after all, and the Zhengde Emperor, who has not seen him for a few years, has not changed much, his face has not changed much, he has darkened a little, and he looks more resolute, but after all, he is the emperor, how can he forget!

Hurriedly opened the middle door, and the little eunuch excitedly ran to Zhu Houzhao and knelt down: "The slave and maid knock to see Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "The current position is not the emperor, but the king of war."

"The slave and maid lost their words, and the king forgave the sin." The little eunuch slapped himself a few times as he spoke.

"Get up." Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to bother with the little eunuch and said, "The princess is in the mansion?"

"If you go back to the king, after the princess moved to the palace, she opened a Buddhist hall in the back house, and ate fasting and chanting Buddha every day to pray for the king."

"Oh......" Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of the sky, he is rebellious and rebellious, but his mind is not bad at all, and he also feels that he has really done an inauthentic job in the matter of his wife.

"Lead the way, take this king to meet the princess."

"The slave obeys." Where did the little eunuch dare to talk nonsense, he immediately bowed down and led the way.

The palace is not too big, covering an area of almost thirty acres, which is not much different from the regulations of the palace in Tongzhou.

Princess Xia likes to be quiet, and there are not many people in this palace, only a few eunuchs and palace maids, plus a cook who serves meals and a gardener who plays with flowers and plants, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the princess, you must know that outside the palace, there are three hundred new army soldiers on duty in turn!

The status of the little eunuch is not high, but how can a high status not know Zhu Houzhao, the chief steward of the palace himself is the original Zhu Houzhao's personal eunuch, Wei Bin, one of the famous Eight Tigers in history!

After Zhu Houzhao abandoned the country, the seven tigers after Liu Jin's death were all expelled to the imperial tomb except for Zhang Yong and Wei Bin, and the reason why Wei Bin was not expelled was because Zhu Houwei felt that he had to leave an acquaintance and wait for the imperial brother to come back, and he was also afraid that the imperial brother would not be able to use other eunuchs.

Wei Bin heard that the concierge eunuch took a man to the back house, so he hurriedly rushed over, and now when he saw Zhu Houzhao, his eyes were straight, and he immediately fell at Zhu Houzhao's feet.

Think about it, when Zhu Houzhao was still Emperor Zhengde, what a beautiful situation they were for the emperor's close eunuchs, Liu Jin didn't say it, that is, when they went out, who dared to smack the hair!

However, the emperor ran away, and he ran away in disbelief, and it was unbelievable that there were men in the world who didn't want to be emperors.

But what if you don't believe it? Once a son of heaven and a courtier, how is the harem not the same, if they dare not pick up their tails to be people, and dare to scold hundreds of officials as usual, really Emperor Jiajing will not kill people?

Now that Zhu Houzhao is back, it's a pity that the position has been set, and the general trend is difficult to change!

"Don't be disturbed, this king is going to see the princess."

Pushing open the door of the Buddhist hall, Zhu Houzhao saw a plain-clothed woman sitting cross-legged on the futon with her back to her, perhaps because she heard a sound, and the wooden fish that was originally struck suddenly disappeared.

Zhu Houzhao closed the door with his backhand, Princess Xia frowned, she was indifferent, and she had an indisputable attitude towards the world, but even so, all the subordinates were respectful to her, whether it was in the palace or in the palace of the king of war.

Who doesn't know that the current emperor has a sense of guilt towards Princess Xia, if you think that Emperor Zhengde has run away, Princess Xia will have no backer, then you just don't want to die and don't want to give yourself a good time.

Princess Xia worships the Buddha every day, and no one dares to enter without knocking on the door, so Princess Xia didn't even reply to her head, and said angrily: "Go out, don't take an example!"

"Are you Ruoling?"

Princess Xia trembled, and the Qianzhi in her hand fell to the ground......
