Xu Zengshou is not killing his relatives in righteousness, but because he knows that no matter what he says, the result will not change.

Who is Zhu Huan?

Zhu Huan is the king of Qi and the closest brother of Zhu Di, the king of Yan! The 100,000 Yan army couldn't attack Zhenjiang for a long time, and seeing that it was about to be copied by the Yangzhou army, it was Zhu Huan who couldn't open the gate and opened the gate of Zhenjiang, which avoided the defeat of the Yan army to flee all the way north. After the first battle of Zhenjiang, Zhu Huan offered Jinling to the city, which led to the situation of Yanshi now occupying the southern hinterland.

In terms of merit, who can compare to Zhu Huan?

Xu Huizu made a move on Zhu Huan, which touched the bottom line in Zhu Di's heart, even if he was the younger brother of the princess, he couldn't stop Zhu Di's anger.

In this regard, Xu Zengshou is also helpless.

"Well, since this matter involves Brother Huan, then Brother Huan will handle it." Zhu Di said to Zhu Huan with a calm face: "The army on the Yan Wang's Mansion is at your disposal." ”

"I don't need so many people, I only need thirty rides." Zhu Huan said.

"You do?" Zhu Di was a little puzzled.

The Duke of Wei has one hundred and twenty soldiers from the first emperor, although they are only saber guards, but they can also be called elite, Zhu Huan is about to take the Duke of Wei with thirty horses, is it too arrogant?

"Thirty rides is more than enough." Zhu Huan said confidently.

"Whatever you want." Zhu Di glanced at Xu Zengshou, a little bored in his heart, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let me be alone." ”

Since Zhu Di has issued an eviction order, Zhu Huan and Xu Zengshou have also left with interest.

Zhu Di sat alone in the study drinking tea, and after a while, the princess in a long white dress came in.

"Is there anything bothering you today?" The princess stood behind Zhu Di and gently rubbed Zhu Di's shoulders with her white and tender hands.

Zhu Di held his breath, didn't vomit unpleasantly, and said: "It's difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs." ”

The words were vague, but the princess understood it at once.

It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, since it is Zhu Di's family affairs, there are only a few people.

One of the most suspicious ones is the princess's younger brother.

"Is Huizu causing something again?" The princess asked.

The princess guessed it at once, and Zhu Di was not surprised at all.

This princess is naturally smart and clever, good at understanding people's hearts, and has the reputation of "female students", and often solves problems for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di slowly told what had just happened, and the princess pondered a little after hearing it, and then chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Di was lost.

If it weren't for the princess involved, Zhu Di wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is now, why would the princess be happy?

"Haven't you seen it yet?" The princess smiled: "Brother Huan has already cleared up the matter for you." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Di was puzzled.

"The matter involves Huizu, why does Brother Huan still want to keep Zengshou, is it really just to offend Zengshou and force him to kill his relatives in righteousness?" The princess asked rhetorically.

Zhu Di just wanted to say something, but then he suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes lit up: "I see." ”

"Brother Huan didn't intend to kill Huizu in the first place, so he pushed the boat and pretended to bring the matter to the surface, but in fact, it was to give an excuse to increase his life, and to leave a way for Huizu to live." Zhu Di said in surprise: "In this way, I don't have to be embarrassed, but I can also be grateful for longevity, and I won't have to worry about it." ”

The princess said resentfully: "This is to take my family Huizu as a trade, and give it to your brothers as a favor." This stupid longevity, I think I'm smart, but I was actually sold and I helped your brother and sister get some money, maybe I'm still outside to thank your brother. ”

Zhu Di laughed embarrassedly: "Ahaha, it's all a family, a family." ”

"Hmph." The princess snorted, but didn't say much.

After all, the matter was provoked by Xu Huizu, Zhu Huan didn't care about his previous suspicions, and if he could let Xu Huizu live, he would already give her and Xu Zengshou face.

In the final analysis, she should also thank Zhu Huan.

And Zhu Di became more and more satisfied with his brother Huan.

Having a smart brother can make him, the king of Yan, waste a lot of brains.

……

Zhu Huan and Xu Zengshou walked out of the study side by side, and walked to a deserted corridor, Xu Zengshou stopped, bowed down to Zhu Huan, and spoke a little hesitantly: "His Royal Highness King Qi ......"

"Do you want this king to let Wei Guogong live?" Zhu Huan said calmly.

"The minister knows that my brother is secretly plotting to be disrespectful to the prince, although it will not lead to death, but it is inevitable that he will have to cut his title." Xu Zengshou sighed, and even used the honorific word "minister" when he spoke, which shows the humility in front of Zhu Huan.

"If you lose the dukedom of a country, isn't there another dukedom?" Zhu Huan said: "After many years of martyrdom, you have passed information for the Yan Wangfu many times and made great achievements, plus you are the younger brother of the princess, if the title of the Duke of Wei is cut, the fourth brother will definitely give you another Duke of the Duke of Guo in order to compensate you Xu, isn't this good?" ”

In the original history, before Zhu Di entered Beijing, Jianwen killed Xu Zengshou with a sword to vent his anger. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he posthumously named Xu Zengshou as the Marquis of Wuyang, becoming the first meritorious hero to be awarded after Zhu Di ascended the throne.

Xu's family, a double country.

However, now because of Zhu Huan, Jianwen is imprisoned in the Qianqing Palace, and Xu Zengshou is not dead.

And Xu Zengshou is not dead, there are good and bad.

The good thing is that he doesn't have to die. (nonsense)

The bad thing is that the Xu family is gone.

Xu Zengshou is immortal, although with his exploits in Jingnan, there is no problem in making him a Marquis of Wuyang. But the title of the Duke of the Kingdom is obviously not qualified.

But if Xu Huizu's Duke of Wei was cut, this matter would be different.

General Xu Da fought countless battles in his life, made supreme meritorious achievements, and ranked first among the six founding kings. After his death, there is only one marquis of Wuyang Marquis left, which will inevitably cause the world to fight and fight, coupled with the relationship between the princess of Yanwangfu and the Xu family, in the end, Xu Zengshou will be forcibly promoted to the position of the prince.

Dead friends don't die in poverty, Xu Huizu's Wei Guogong is gone, and he won't lose a Guogong to Xu Zengshou. After all, if Xu Huizu does not cut the knighthood, Xu Zengshou is afraid that he will have no hope for the prince for the rest of his life.

Xu Zengshou smiled bitterly: "If the eldest brother won the title of Duke of Wei by himself, in exchange for my title of Duke of Guo, then it will naturally be fine." But the eldest brother, the Duke of Wei, is a hereditary father, if he loses it, then my descendants of the Xu family will have no shame to face his father after death. ”

Using the title of the eldest brother in exchange for his own title, Xu Zengshou can do this kind of thing.

But with the title handed down by Xu Da in exchange for his title, Xu Zengshou couldn't do it.

If he really did it, he wouldn't have the face to see Xu Da after he died.

"That's it, count it as a face for you, and also give my fourth sister-in-law a face." Zhu Huan flicked his sleeves and turned to leave: "I won't let him lose the title of Duke of Wei." ”

Xu Zengshou was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Huan to be so easy to speak, so he hurriedly made a compilation to Zhu Huan's back, and thanked him sincerely: "The descendants of the Xu family will never forget the kindness of the prince." ”
