On June 2, when Deng Yong entered Beijing, Song Zhong and the others came to Yanwang's Mansion.

King Yan invited guests to dinner, and paid homage to Emperor Dian by the way.

A civilian official of the lower level in Beiping City, and Song Zhong and Geng Zhen, two generals from other places, have arrived.

King Yan first took out the spirit card of the first emperor and put it in the hall, everyone worshiped together, and offered incense, and then King Yan cried bitterly, saying how to miss his father, and now life is not good, etc., everyone looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound.

After King Yan finished crying, everyone went to another room to eat.

Just as everyone was moving forward, King Yan and a few henchmen were waiting with Yuan Heng: "Yuan Hui, can you help me see, how are these people looking?" ”

On the same day, Qiu Fu deliberately said Yuan Hui, you are not very good at reading faces, look at the officials of Beiping City, it depends on whether you can see it accurately.

Yuan Hui has been restless these days, and he always feels that he is not very bright, because after seeing Zhu Gaoxu, he has no confidence.

"King, look at these officials, my son, Zhongche, you can help the king take a look." Yuan Heng meant, my eyes are looking at the emperor, and these officials are actually unworthy.

Zhu Di was very happy when he heard it, I am really a true dragon emperor.

Zhu Di asked Yuan Heng to look at his appearance, mainly to distinguish between friend and foe, in his opinion, most of the people with good faces are their own people, and those with bad faces must be enemies, because the enemy will not end well.

After the banquet, Yuan Zhongche told Zhu Di one by one.

Song Zhong "has a square face and big ears, and his body is short and floating", and Zhang Yu "has a square face and five small faces, and walks like a snake".

Xie Gui "has swollen intestines and early fat and shortness of breath", Geng Lin "cheekbones are inserted into the villa, the color is like flying fire", Jing Qing is "short and male", and Zhang Xin is "rat head and tiger tail".

The conclusion is that the first few people will die from their faces, but this letter may be rich and noble.

I have to say that Yuan Zhongche looks at his appearance, and he is really no worse than his father Yuan Hui, basically eight \ nine is not far from ten.

But Zhu Di was skeptical when he heard it, and he was a little suspicious that Yuan Zhongche was currying favor with himself and deliberately said that these people were so unbearable.

Because Jingqing has a good relationship with him, Zhu Di has always thought that Jingqing is a person who can be wooed, how could he die unexpectedly?

And Zhang Xin, Zhu Di is actually very annoying, he is sleek, Zhu Di knows that this kind of person must be two-headed grass, and the wind blows on both sides.

Although he wants to rebel, he also likes loyal ministers.

However, he was still very happy, because it sounded like most of the people in the court who were against him would die.

In fact, this will really be the best opportunity to catch Zhu Di, Song Zhong and Geng Lin are both generals in command, and they also brought troops, but they didn't dare to act without a secret order.

But Zhang Xin, who had a secret purpose, was silent, and he made Zhu Di drag on for a while.

Zhu Di is now secretly building armor day and night, hoarding grain and grass, and recruiting troops and horses, so even Zhu Gaoxu can't support craftsmen and armor.

He hopes that the longer it drags on, the better, and the better he will be.

The day after Song Zhong and the others left, Zhu Gaoxu took Sun Yan, Wang Bin, Zhou Hu, Song Meng and others to the right guard of Yanshan.

There were originally 5,600 people on the right guard of Yanshan, but more than 5,300 people were transferred by Song Zhong, and less than 300 were left to King Yan.

The barracks in Nuoda are now empty, and most of the remaining people are in the palace, and only a few dozen people are on duty in the guard.

Sun Yan and Zhu Gaoxu came to the door of the guard, there was only a small flag guard at the door, who was sitting on the ground boredly, and when he saw someone coming, he first stared at him, then his eyes lit up, he jumped up in surprise, and then hurriedly bowed down again: "Meet Sun Qianhu." ”

"King of Gaoyang County."

He worshiped Sun Yan first, and then Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochu was not angry, but ecstatic in his heart, which proved that Sun Yan was really prestigious.

Sun Yan patted the little flag with satisfaction: "Zhang Jie, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I am becoming more and more heroic." ”

After that, he turned around and whispered to Zhu Gaoxu, this is the last general's personal soldier back then, how can he still be a small flag after a few years?

He said in front of Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie's face suddenly blushed a little, but he immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and soon his eyes flashed with excitement, and he already understood what Sun Yan meant.

"Good, good." Zhu Gaoxu looked at no one on the left and right, turned back to Song Meng and said, "Song Baihu." ”

Song Meng nodded, waited for them to go in, stayed outside, and chatted with Zhang Jie for a few words before following up.

Zhu Gaoxu really remembers this Zhang Jie.

Because there was a star in the previous life who was also called this name, after the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu in the original history Xuande Year was put down, Zhang Jie and Yang Yun, the commanders of Shanxi, were tortured to death in prison, and Zhu Zhanji ordered to 'kill his corpse'.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu, who was in his previous life, was quite disgusted with Zhu Zhanji when he saw this paragraph.

Now Zhu Gaoxu can be sure that the future commander of Shanxi may be the small banner Zhang Jie in front of him.

Judging from his reaction just now, this person is very smart and should be co-opted as soon as possible.

Zhu Gaoxu and Sun Yan strode into the Thousand Households, and soon someone inside seemed to hear the news and also walked out.

"What for?"

"King of Gaoyang?"

A hundred households came out with a small flag and several soldiers, and the hundred households recognized Zhu Gaoxu, but they didn't seem to know Sun Yan.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu also knew these hundred households, and it was Tan Yuan's brother Tan Hai.

There is a general flag beside Tan Hai that attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention, his clothes are neat, his face seems to have been retouched, he looks like a scholar, but his eyes are sharp, his temperament is a bit like Li Jinglong, and he has the style of a so-called Confucian general.

This person should be Xue Liu, Xue Xun's fellow uncle.

Tan Hai was stunned at first when he saw that it was Zhu Gaoxu coming in, but he called out to the queen of Gaoyang County, and the five or six people around him were stunned, but no one gave a salute.

Sun Yan naturally saw it in his eyes.

"This is the king of Gaoyang County, everyone come and see you." Tan Hai said after a while.

Everyone seemed to be weak, and a lazy and lazy voice sounded: "Meet the King of Gaoyang County." ”

But many people just shouted and simply hugged their fists.

Especially that Xue Liu, he didn't even move his mouth, and hugged his fist a little symbolically.

Wang Bin was furious when he saw it, and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Song Meng from behind.

Sun Yan was also quite annoyed, because now the king of Gaoyang County was his son-in-law: "What about Xu Xiang? ”

Call Xu Xiang by his name.

"Xu Qianhu is not here." Tan Hai said lightly: "I don't know who the old gentleman is?" ”

Sun Yan has gray hair and looks not young, but Tan Hai doesn't know him, so he calls him an old man.

This made Sun Yan angry: "Hehe, the old man has only been in office for a few years, and the right guard of Yanshan is already unrecognizable?" ”

As soon as Tan Hai heard this, he knew that this person might be an old leader from the past.

But at this moment, Xue Liu, who was on the side, said coldly: "The so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the new people replace the old people, and the border troops of the guards in various parts of the imperial court have always been fighting and the stars are changing, and things are not people, this is a normal thing." ”

"But since the old gentleman is a scholar, why bother to come out and run around, and be annoyed in vain."

Tan Hai was overjoyed in his heart, Xue Liu was really a scholar, both civil and military, and he scolded well.

When the two saw Zhu Gaochu coming over with an old man and calling himself Zhishi, they knew what Zhu Gaochu wanted to do, and of course they wanted to scold.

Sun Yan's face changed greatly, he really didn't expect that after only a few years of leaving, someone would dare to scold him in person.

Sun Yan was so old that someone dared to scold him, and he was angry on the spot, "Zheng," he directly pulled out his waist knife and said angrily: "You dog, dare to talk to the old man like this?"
