At this time, the strong man in the courtyard of Shifu was none other than Queen Xia's second brother, Xia Chen, who inherited the title of Earl of Qingyang.

Xia Chen saw Zhu Houxi appear, and asked arrogantly, "The white horse at the door is yours?" ”

Before Zhu Houxi could speak, everyone heard Xia Chen continue: "Your white horse is snow-white, and it looks like a good horse for thousands of miles, you say a price." ”

It stands to reason that Zhang Yong, as one of the Eight Tigers, belongs to the eunuch, and his status is definitely higher than Xia Chen, who inherited the title of Earl of Qingyang by marrying his sister, even if Xia Chen still has the identity of Jinyi Wei's Tongzhi.

But now it is different, Zhengde is no longer like staying in the leopard room before, the harmony between the emperor and the queen makes Queen Xia's position in the harem more stable, and the Xia family, as a relative, will naturally rise with the tide.

"Not for sale."

Zhu Houxi's answer was obviously not in Xia Chen's expectations.

Xia Chen spoke again: "Do you know who I am?" ”

Zhu Houxi seems to have heard this line somewhere, but the times are too far away, and even a little vague, as if every mantra is like this.

Zhu Houyu was slightly stunned, the wheel is now in the whole Ming Dynasty, under the premise that Zhengde has no son, he seems to be the biggest gentleman, and someone is actually playing tricks in front of him, the first gentleman of the Ming Dynasty, which makes Zhu Houyu a little curious about the identity of this person.

"You are?"

When Xia Chen heard Zhu Houxi's inquiry, his eyes immediately showed contempt, and he said proudly: "I am Qingyang Bo Xia Chen, the elder brother of the queen mother, don't say that I won't give you a chance, you give me the white horse outside the door now, and I will forgive you for your previous mistakes." ”

Zhu Houxi looked at Xia Chen speechlessly, he only said four words from beginning to end, and he didn't know where these four words offended this Qingyang Bo.

Seeing that Zhu Houxi didn't speak, Qingyang Bo Xiachen continued to threaten: "Boy, don't know what to do. ”

Zhu Houxi really didn't know how Xia Chen's brain grew, from the beginning of the high-priced acquisition to the current one, he didn't seem to say a word, why did he become ignorant.

Zhu Houxi did not show any anger, nor did he argue with Xia Chen, and casually ordered: "Let him lead the horse away." ”

Hearing Zhu Houyi's answer, Zhu Chen and the other special guards' faces were not to mention how ugly they were, as if they had suffered a great shame, Zhang Yong, who had been silent behind Zhu Houyi, quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the two Shi brothers looked at Zhu Houyi with some puzzlement, not understanding why Zhu Houyi agreed to the other party's request so easily, you must know that Zhu Houyu is also a relative of the emperor, and the title is far better than Xia Chen.

Xia Chen laughed and said, "You know each other." ”

Then he left with his relatives, and by the way, he took away the white horse in front of Shifumen.

"Your Royal Highness, you ......"

Looking at Shi Jue's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhu Houxi smiled faintly: "Be generous, you can't bite me with a dog, I have to bite a dog too, right?" ”

Tianjin Wei assassinated, Zhu Houyu was angry, and he still remembers to find the mastermind behind the scenes, seeing the fire man Yasan, Zhu Houxi was angry, because he thought of the pain that might happen in the future.

But Qingyang Bo Xia Chen is just a jumping clown in front of Zhu Houxi, it is really boring to be angry for such a person, because he has a better way to rectify Xia Chen, as for the generosity in his mouth, it is completely to tell the two brothers of the Shi family, he Zhu Houxi is not a good person.

It was also the first time for the two Shi brothers to hear such an interesting theory, and the two old men who were over half a hundred years old immediately laughed.

After plotting with the two brothers of the Shi family, Zhu Houxi left Shifu.

The winter sun is shining, but it can't dispel the cold of winter, Zhu Houxi rubbed his two little hands, and said to Zhang Yong behind him: "Let's go to the leopard room for lunch." ”

Zhang Yong was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Yong felt that Zhu Houyu was simply too ruthless, on the surface, he quietly let Xia Chen snatch his mount, and made a move behind his back to draw salary, so that Xia Chen had no place to cry, and it was foreseeable that in a few days, Xia Chen would cry and shout and beg Zhu Houxi for forgiveness.

After Zhengde went down to the court, when he learned that Zhu Houxi took Zhang Yong to the leopard room, his heart was like grass, and he immediately ordered someone to prepare the dragon chariot.

In the next five days, Zhu Houxi and Zhengde both lived in the leopard room, and Zhengde even changed the office to the leopard room again, making everyone complain again, and felt that Emperor Zhengde, who had just improved a little, began to live a ridiculous life again.

Zhengde looked at Zhu Houxi, who was observing the soldiers' drills by the window, and said, "Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and you have to return to the palace with you." ”

Under Zhengde's words, Zhu Houxi reacted at this time, it turned out that the Chinese New Year was coming tomorrow, and he had been here for two years.

In the past two years, Zhu Houxi seems to have achieved nothing except to save Emperor Zhengde, and he has been eating, drinking and having fun all day long, but he doesn't know that a plan that shocks the Ming Dynasty is quietly being implemented.

Zhu Houxi responded: "Brother Chen, obey the order." ”

Seeing that Zhu Houxi was so absent-minded, Zhengde decided to make some surprise and said, "The imperial brother can let the Shi brothers enter the palace early." ”

Zhang Yong can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, Zhengde can know that Zhu Houxi has contacted the Shi brothers, and who else can tell Zhengde about this matter except for him Zhang Yong.

However, Zhang Yong was obviously too worried, Zhu Houxi didn't look at him at all, but turned to Zhengde and asked, "What does the eldest brother think the younger brother is doing...... Is that correct? ”

A gentle smile appeared on Zhengde's face, and he said, "Is it important to be correct?" I have been on the throne for 16 years, I have worked hard and tried to change, but I have not succeeded so far, if the emperor's method is successful, it may not be a good thing for the Zhu family and the whole world. ”

originally expected Zhengde to give him some confidence, but Zhu Houxi didn't get the answer he wanted in Zhengde's mouth.

Because in a sense, Zhengde himself is a failure, he did not succeed, so he can't give Zhu Houxi a positive answer, but he hopes that Zhu Houyu can succeed, because there are many problems in the current Da Ming.

Zhengde once wanted to start from the aspect of Wensheng's military weakness, but according to the definition of history, he obviously failed, because even if the military generals were too strong, they could not change the decision-making of civilian officials.

Therefore, Zhu Houxi, who understands history, chooses to change his path, this road may have many bumps and bumps, but he firmly believes that he will not fail, because he has seen the future, and some shame will not appear on the Chinese people again, this is what he will do in the future.

At the same time, Queen Xia's face in Kunning Palace was gloomy and terrible, and she no longer had the smug appearance of a few days ago, and I don't know how many people in the harem secretly laughed at her again, saying that she would be punished like this if she was not right, only he knew that she could become like this because of Zhu Houxi's little cub.
