Chapter 253: Father, when did we have a Xuanwu Guard?
Although the emperor made it clear that he must catch the assassin, otherwise he will come to see him.
But Erhu didn't care about that, he just led hundreds of guards, surrounded the emperor's carriage, and hugged the emperor all the way back to the palace.
It wasn't until the emperor was safely returned to the palace and the Qianqing Palace was surrounded by the way that he went to inquire about the assassins.
Zhu Li originally wanted to go back to the palace, but after such a stall, he was also coerced into the palace.
Lao Zhu returned to the Qianqing Palace and immediately issued a series of imperial orders. First, the protection level of the palace was strengthened, and then the soldiers and horses of the five cities were ordered to block the inner and outer cities of the capital. In the end, he strictly ordered Ying Tianfu, the forbidden army, and the Jinyi Guard to go all out to hunt down the assassins.
After Lao Zhu was busy with all this, he took the time to take a sip of tea, but when he was drinking a big bowl of tea, he suddenly found that the little rebel grandson was gone.
"What about our eldest grandson?"
Zhu Li's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly looked around, only to see the huge palace, where was there still half a figure of the grandson?
"I just saw him sitting on the side, why is it that he disappeared in a blink of an eye!"
Lao Zhu was furious when he heard this, and when he remembered that the rebel grandson was clamoring in the carriage to catch the assassin, he was even more nervous.
"Find it!"
"Come on, block the palace gate, and never allow Zhu Yunxi to run out of the palace for half a step!"
"Find that grandson and bring him to us immediately!"
"No!"
After Lao Zhu said this, he was so angry that he slammed the teacup on the ground, so frightened that all the eunuchs fell to their knees.
Zhu Li led dozens of guards and searched the entire Qianqing Palace, and just when he thought Zhu Yunxi was secretly running out, he suddenly heard a movement in the direction of Yuehua Gate.
He hurriedly ran over with the people, and saw a few guards with knives from the aftermath of the lord, carrying a naughty young man walking this way.
Xu Zengshou saw King Jin coming over and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"I met His Royal Highness the King of Jin with a humble position, and just now I was on a tour here, and suddenly I saw the three emperors and grandsons climbing over the wall......"
Zhu Li saw that Zhu Yunxi didn't run out, but felt that a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. He snatched Zhu Yunxi over, and then clamped it under his arm like a rag doll.
"Huh!"
"You look a little familiar, but the fourth son of the Xu Da family?"
"What's it called......
"Humble Xu Zengshou!"
"Yes, yes!"
"I remember that when you were a child, you always followed the fourth child, pestering him to ask for candy, annoying the fourth child, hiding when he sees you, hahaha!"
When Xu Zengshou heard this, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
How can he say now that he is also a sword guard in the palace, and the noble sons and daughters of His Majesty the Emperor Hu are around him, and his status is much higher than that of the Jinyi Guard.
was rashly lifted by King Jin, and he must not be laughed to death by other guards in the future!
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, that's all old things, and now it's ...... Now ......"
Seeing that Xu Zengshou was so embarrassed, King Jin immediately led him to the Qianqing Palace to restore his life.
"You are a great hero who has captured the Three Emperors and Suns, hurry up and follow the lone palace to receive the reward!"
If it was an ordinary guard, Zhu Li would casually praise a few words and send it away. However, he met the son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, who more or less had to sell the Xu family to save face.
Although the Xu family is related to King Yan, Xu Huizu, the contemporary prince of the Xu family, has a friendship with him from childhood to adulthood, and the two families have the thickest relationship, and they have to promote this kid more or less.
Xu Zengshou was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still pretended to be modest and said.
"This is all a matter of humble duty, how dare you ask Your Majesty for a reward?"
Zhu Li didn't care about that, grabbed Xu Zengshou's arm, and led him towards his father's bedroom.
"Don't be polite to Lonely, what kind of friendship do we have?"
"Your eldest brother also wrote a letter to Gu this year, saying that he would let Gu Zai Border Army find you an errand and mix up some military merits, and you will be able to earn a knighthood in the future."
"It's just that there are too many things this year, and I caught up with the unfortunate death of the eldest brother of the prince, so it has been delayed until now."
"Just take this opportunity to let you show your face in front of your father, and then ask your father to go, and wait for the time when you return to Jinyang
, I will bring you back directly, I can't take advantage of the east wind of the Duke of Liangguo, mix up some military merits for you, and directly get an earl out, hahaha! ”
Xu Zengshou was both moved and guilty when he heard this, he had always been dissatisfied with his eldest brother before, and felt that the eldest brother inherited the title of the Xu family, so he didn't care about their younger brothers.
Now that I heard the words of His Royal Highness King Jin, I realized that I had misunderstood my eldest brother. It turned out that the eldest brother had been trying to find a way for him, but he never mentioned it to him......
"Humble ...... Thank you for your kindness to Your Highness......"
Zhu Li came to Lao Zhu with Zhu Yunxi and put Zhu Yunxi on the ground.
"Father, my son has captured your precious grandson!"
Lao Zhu saw that the eldest grandson was safe and sound, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly scolded this rebel grandson for not letting him worry at all.
"Grandpa Huang, Uncle Erhu is really not good, his brain is not bright, he will definitely not be able to catch the assassin!"
"If you get old, let me go out of the palace and let me take someone to catch the assassin!"
"Grandpa Huang, I really didn't brag, you forgot the last city wall proverb case, that is what I broke!"
The more Lao Zhu listened, the more angry he became, he was almost scared to death, this rebel grandson was still worried about going out to catch assassins!
"Little rebel grandson, what did we tell you in the carriage just now?"
"Come on, hang this rebel grandson!"
When Lao Zhu said this, he saw that the rebel grandson was still unconvinced, so he added another sentence.
"Stripped naked and hung on the beams!"
Zhu Yunxi panicked on the spot when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Grandpa Huang, let's not be like this, we have something to say......"
However, Lao Zhu was in no mood to take care of him, and waved his hand at a few brocade guards on the side, signaling them to quickly drag him away.
"Third uncle, don't just watch the excitement, you are pleading for me!"
Zhu Li stood aside and rolled his eyes secretly, saying in his heart I still want to beat you, how can I intercede for you!
Zhu Li saw that his eldest nephew was dragged down, so he reported what had just happened as it was.
"Father, this time I was able to successfully capture your precious grandson, thanks to Xu Zengshou, the fourth child of Uncle Xu's family, the king of Zhongshan, you have to reward him well."
"Otherwise, your eldest grandson will run over the wall!"
Lao Zhu saw that Zhu Li intended to bring that kid with him, so he immediately sold Zhu Li's face.
As soon as Xu Zengshou walked into the main hall, he saw a bear child hanging on the beam at the door that was stripped to only a pair of pants, even though he knew that he shouldn't laugh at this time, but he couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Yunxi saw that Xu Zengshou dared to laugh at himself, which can be said to be a combination of new hatred and old hatred.
"Xu Zengshou, you wait for Lonely, Lone will one day hang you on the city gate to bleed!"
When Xu Zengshou heard this threat, he hurriedly put away his smile, and then apologized to Zhu Yunxi.
"His Royal Highness King Wu is angry, and it is also his duty to be humiliated, if you are offended, I hope you will bear with me!"
Zhu Li heard the conversation between the two and immediately called Xu Zengshou over.
"Zengshou, you don't have to bother with that grandson, hurry up and come over to meet Your Majesty!"
When Xu Zengshou heard this, he hurriedly walked a few steps and came to Lao Zhu to bow down.
"Humble Xu Zengshou, meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live......"
Although Xu Zengshou can often see His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to see him, and even if he does, he may not notice him.
After all, there are too many guards of the emperor, not to mention the Jinyi Guard and Yulin Guard, just talking about these meritorious sons, there are hundreds of people on duty in the palace, how can the emperor recognize them?
"You did a good job this time, let's reward you with a brocade guard."
Normally speaking, the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu is not low, and as long as Jinyi Wei Qianhu works for a few years, there is no mistake, and there is a high probability that it will become a hereditary Qianhu, which is equivalent to mixing an iron rice bowl.
Xu Zengshou is also quite satisfied with this reward, the reason why he wants to make military merits is not to earn a reputation for himself?
Jinyi Wei Qianhu is not big or small, which is a very good reputation.
As for the lord and the like, he just thought about it in his dreams, and he didn't dare to expect that he would definitely earn it.
However, he was not in a hurry to thank him, but waited for Zhu Li's side
Rhetoric.
"Father, the son promised Xu Huizu before, saying that he would take Zengshou to the army for training, so that he could better serve the court!"
"That's ......"
Lao Zhu almost accepted it when he heard this, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the rebel grandson swinging on the beam of the house again, and his heart was full of fire, and he rejected Zhu Li's proposal on the spot.
"When you say that, we think of something!"
"Xuanwuwei still lacks a commander over there, so let Xu Zengshou go there to be a commander!"
As soon as Lao Zhu said this, Zhu Li and Xu Zengshou were stunned.
The two of them lined up all the guards of the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, and they didn't know what this "Xuanwu Guard" was.
"Father, when did we have a Xuanwu Guard in Daming, did you set it up recently?"
Xu Zengshou also looked at His Majesty the Emperor with burning eyes, the command envoy is much more than the officials of Qianhu, but where is this Xuanwu Wei, he has been working in the palace on an errand, and he has never heard of such a place!
Lao Zhu said with a smile when he heard this.
"It's not set up recently, it's what we just set up!"
Zhu Li couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face when he heard this, just when he was puzzled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of seeing Zhu Yunxi's privately organized "private army" outside the city, the Xuanwu Wei in the mouth of the heart Dao father, shouldn't he be referring to this?
"Father, do you mean the Craftsman's Disciple Academy?"
Old Zhu Wenyan smiled and nodded, and when Zhu Li saw his father's expression, he immediately felt relieved.
Since the father wants to turn the "private army" of the eldest nephew into a regular army, it proves that he is not annoyed by this matter and is happy to see it happen.
"The minister there thanked his father for the grace of his eldest nephew and eldest brother!"
Zhu Li's words are not polite, Daming has never heard of that prince and grandson, there was a private guard before he became a vassal.
The old man's move was ostensibly a trick for Zhu Yunxi, a wild horse, but in fact, it also gave him the title of "organizing and training a private army", and indirectly admitted that he legally owned the army.
Zhu Li and Lao Zhu smiled tacitly, only Xu Zengshou listened with a capital bewilderment.
"You go to duty first, and soon, someone will take you to the office!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Zengshou saw that the old emperor obviously didn't want to explain, so he could only withdraw with this doubt.
It's just that when he walked to the door, he was subjected to a verbal threat from Zhu Yunxi.
Xu Zengshou didn't feel anything when he heard this, Lao Zhu was really depressed when he heard it, thinking that this grandson had been hung up, and he didn't know how to restrain himself.
As soon as Xu Zengshou left the Qianqing Palace with his front foot, the second tiger ran in with his back foot and reported the latest progress to Lao Zhu.
"Your Majesty, the humble duty is ineffective, causing the gangsters to run out of the city!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was displeased in his heart. However, before he could say anything, the grandson who hung on the beam of the house began again.
"Grandpa Huang, what did I just say, I have already reminded you that Erhu's brain is not good, and he can't catch people at all!"
"Hurry up and order someone to put me down, I'll go and check the scene, maybe I can catch the assassin back!"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he got up from the chair angrily, walked up to Zhu Yunxi angrily, saw that he was still wearing pants, and reprimanded a few brocade guards on the side on the spot.
"Are you deaf, why did you leave him a pair of pants!"
Jin Yiwei originally wanted to strictly follow the emperor's orders, but the three emperors and grandsons gave too much, and secretly stuffed a gold leaf in each of them, so he left a pair of pants.
But now that the emperor is angry, he has to tear off his last fig leaf.
"Grandpa Huang, I'll shut up, I'll never speak again, why don't you save me some face!"
"Don't pull my pants...... I've fought with you......"
Lao Zhu saw that the eldest grandson was really struggling, so he saved some face.
"Alright, stop!"
"If he dares to make noise again, there is no need to save his face!"
Zhu Yunxi hugged the last innocence and hurriedly sent it out to Lao Zhu
A rainbow fart.
"Grandson, thank you for the kindness of Grandpa Huang, grandson promises to shut up, promise not to interject!"
Lao Zhu saw that the hall was finally silent, so he sat on the dragon chair again and listened to the report of the second tiger.
"Emperor, that villain is so cunning that he actually hung on a kite, and was pulled by someone riding a fast horse and turned out of the city."
"Although the lowly people have already captured the person who responded, the person had already taken the poison and was already dead when he was caught."
"I ordered people to search outside the city, but I only found the ashes of a kite on the ground, but the villain disappeared without a trace."
When Lao Zhu heard this, a black line appeared on his head again.
The gangster hung on the kite and escaped, which was off the charts. Chased outside the city and saw no one, leaving only a place of ashes, which is even more incredible.
"Did you really see the gangsters fleeing under the kites?"
"Back to the emperor, it's true, hundreds of brothers in brocade clothes have seen it!"
Although Lao Zhu got Erhu's firm statement, he still didn't believe it on his face.
"How big a kite can it be, there shouldn't be any fraud here, right?"
"Continue to order people to search, search Long Guangshan up and down carefully, don't let go of any clues!"
"No!"
After Lao Zhu sent the two tigers away, the people from the imperial dining room just came over.
"Emperor, the imperial meal is ready, may I ask if you want to pass the meal now!"
"Biography!"
After Lao Zhu gave the order to pass the meal, he immediately looked at Zhu Li who was standing on the side.
"Third child, accompany us to the side hall for dinner!"
"Son, thank you for your father's grace!"
"But let's go to dinner, it's not appropriate to hang the eldest nephew again, you might as well put him down, let him have dinner with us, and then punish him......"
"Leave him alone, he's very honest!"
"When we are full of food and drink, we will clean him up fiercely, and then it will not be too late to put him down for dinner!"
