"Shizi."

Zhu Houxi, who was having breakfast, looked up and saw Zhu Chen, the captain of the second special guard team, running in out of breath.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"Mr. Yuan returned to Tianjin Wei with a team last night."

Regarding Yuan Zonggao's departure, Zhu Houxi seemed to have expected it a long time ago.

"This is the son of the world who knows about this, is there anything else?"

Zhu Chen nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, Uncle Qingyang came to visit with a generous gift." ”

"Nope."

Zhu Houxi felt that Qingyang Bo Xia Chen was not worth befriending at all, and he took him to the execution ground to deter him before, and he just wanted to do it once and for all, so as to save Xia Chen from making trouble for himself in the future.

After Zhu Chen knew Zhu Houxi's decision, he turned around and walked out the door, preparing to inform Xia Chen that his family did not want to see him.

After breakfast, he was about to go out to the Huagai Palace, and continued to follow Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhu Houxi, who was studying, was blocked by Qingyangbo, who had been guarding the door.

"Shizi, Shizi, etc."

Zhu Houxi raised his eyebrows and looked at it, and said in an unkind tone: "What, Uncle Qingyang is preparing to take revenge on this son?" ”

Qingyangbo slapped his thighs with both hands, and said in an aggrieved tone: "Where do I dare to take revenge on the prince, I have something important to ask for the prince." ”

Hearing that Xia Chen had something to ask for himself, there was no need for him to say it, Zhu Houxi knew what was going on, and Xia Chen must have come for Queen Xia this time.

Sure enough, Xia Chen saw that Zhu Houxi had no intention of leaving for the time being, and immediately said: "Shizi, Your Majesty has been living in the leopard room for many days, this move is not conducive to the harmony of the emperor and queen, and I hope that Shizi can mention a few good words from the queen." ”

Zhu Houxi sneered: "Your Majesty can live wherever he wants, how can I wait for me to put my beak?" Does Qingyang Bo want this son to displease His Majesty? ”

Hearing Zhu Houyu say this, Qingyang Bo Xiachen had the heart to cry to death, who didn't know that Emperor Zhengde was now the most fond of him, the son of Xingshi, how could he be dissatisfied with him, Zhu Houxi said this, he just didn't want to care about his sister's affairs.

"Shizi, all the mistakes are my fault, and it has nothing to do with the queen's mother, and I hope that the prince can help the queen mother in the past in the relationship with the queen."

Qingyang Bo Xiachen's tone is as sincere as he is, but Zhu Houyu knows that Xia Chen is sincere now, that is because he has begged himself, if Queen Xia gains power one day, then he Xia Chen will definitely not give himself a chance to beg for mercy, Zhu Houxi is not a person who likes to give his former enemies a chance.

"This son is not hereditary, just a powerless vassal prince, for the matter of Queen Xia, this son can only say that he can't help."

Seeing that his request was rejected by Zhu Houyu twice and three times, Qingyangbo didn't mention how annoyed he was, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Zhu Houxi, so he could only swallow his anger and said: "Your Majesty cares about the prince of the world, far more than the prince imagined, the prince must not be arrogant." ”

Qingyang Bo Xia Chen took a wooden box from Chang Sui's hand, the wooden box is very exquisite, carved with good rosewood, and the carving on it is even more lifelike, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance.

"Shizi, these are all small intentions, and I hope that Shizi will accept it with a smile, if Shizi will do it, Qingyang Bofu will have another generous gift."

Zhu Houxi didn't go to pick up the rosewood box, but said to Xia Chen: "You want to bribe this prince?" ”

Xia Chen shook his head like a rattle, and put on an appearance that Zhu Houxi really blamed him.

"Today, the son of this world should have never seen you, and you should not come to this son again in the future, you and I will be fine, otherwise, don't blame this son for making trouble for your Qingyang Bofu."

Seeing Zhu Houxi's ruthless appearance, Qingyang Bo Xiachen was so frightened that he nodded hurriedly, where did he dare to have the courage to refute.

Zhu Houxi boarded the carriage by himself, and then said to the coachman: "Go to the Huagai Palace." ”

In the next two months, Zhu Houxi studied with Yang Tinghe, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

In the sixteenth year of Zhengde, on the fifth day of the fifth month, outside the gate of Fengtian.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Zhu Houxi stood among the kneeling ministers, simply standing out from the crowd, so that he could only look at Emperor Zhengde on the dragon chair in embarrassment.

Zhengde had just issued an order to drive the expedition to Jianzhou Wei, and the ministers saw that Zhengde, who had just been born for less than a year, and wanted to drive the expedition again, how could he get his wish, and immediately knelt down and asked Zhengde to take back his life.

"Does the imperial brother think Jianzhou Wei should be removed?"

Zhengde's voice came suddenly, and Zhu Houxi, who didn't think about how to answer at all, was stunned, and when Zhu Houyu reacted that Zhengde was asking him to help, he said: "It should be removed." ”

Anyway, in Zhu Houxi's heart, this Jianzhou Wei will not be removed now, and before he dies in the future, he will have to find a way to coax Zhengde to clear the Jianzhou Zuowei Takshi family, because there is a hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhengde seemed to be very satisfied with Zhu Houxi's answer, nodded with a smile: "The hero sees the same thing, the emperor's brother is worthy of being the boy of my Zhu family, how can you know my plan." ”

Seeing that Zhengde scolded the ministers, Zhu Houxi stubbornly said: "But...... The eldest brother can send others to take command of the battle, and there is really no need to put the dragon body in danger. ”

As soon as Zhu Houxi's words came out, the civil and military ministers instantly felt that today's Xingshizi could be regarded as saying a human word.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

Emperor Zhengde, who originally needed Zhu Houxi's help, saw that the situation was a little out of control, and said angrily: "You, you, okay, since this is the case, I will give an order to let others take command." ”

Hearing that Zhengde was finally ready to let someone else take command and no longer drive the expedition in person, the hearts of the civil and military officials were not to mention how happy, but Zhengde's next words almost killed several people with anger.

"Spread my will, let the governor of military affairs, the mighty general, the chief military officer, Zhu Shou, the prince of Zhenguo, lead the troops to personally recruit Jianzhou Wei."

Who is Zhu Shou, those who know the history of the Ming Dynasty should know that Zhu Shou is the stage name given to himself by Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde.

Now that Zhengde has issued such an order, it is equivalent to no longer going out in the name of the emperor, but in the name of the prince of Zhenguo.

It's just that this is not the result that the ministers want at all, what they want is for Zhengde to stay in the palace honestly, instead of going out under a different name.

Under Zhengde's eyes, Wei Bin, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, immediately shouted loudly to retreat from the court, and then trotted behind Zhengde and disappeared in front of the civil and military ministers.

"What should I do now?"

"yes, what now?"

"Your Majesty is so willful, I am afraid that the country will not be a country, and this official will die here."

"Don't don't, don't be like this, Lord Qian."

Zhu Houxi listened to the complaints of the ministers beside him and quietly left the crowd.

"Big brother."

Zhengde glanced at Zhu Houxi angrily, and said, "I asked you to help, you almost demolished my stage, saying, you are still not my imperial brother?" ”

Zhu Houxi smiled bitterly: "The eldest brother drove the Jianzhou Guard, this trip is indeed dangerous. ”

Zhengde raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said that I went to fight Jianzhou Wei." ”
