Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo said solemnly: "The prince is really a fast talker, and the old man swears here, even if he fights for the old man's life, he will ensure that His Majesty returns to Beijing safely." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Zhu Houxi took out a signal flare from his arms again, handed it to Xu Guangzuo and said: "If Xu Laoguo and his eldest brother are in danger, they will ignite this thing, and there will be divine soldiers descending from the sky. ”

Hearing that Zhu Houxi transferred the personal guards of the Xingwang Mansion to the capital, Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, who was still calm and relaxed, was shocked and said: "The prince is confused, where does the prince have the right to transfer troops as Xingfan." ”

Of course, Zhu Houxi knew that Xu Guangzuo was worried about him and for his good, so he scolded him for being confused, and he was not angry at the moment, but began to explain to the other party.

"Old Duke Xu doesn't have to worry, the eldest brother has already issued an order to the Ministry of War on the matter of transferring troops, and this prince has not transferred troops into Beijing without authorization."

After listening to Zhu Houyi's explanation, Xu Guangzuo was relieved, otherwise not to mention Zhu Houyi's future favor to protect the Xu family, as far as his Xu family met with Zhu Houyi, Zhu Houyi transferred troops into Beijing, and his Xu family would be charged with rebellion.

Xu Guangzuo smiled unnaturally, and at the same time took the signal flare in Zhu Houxi's hand, and said: "The son of the world is smart, but the old man is timid. ”

Now there are only five people left in the Ming Dynasty, such as Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo, Chengguo Duke Zhu Fu, British Duke Zhang Lun, Qianguo Duke Mu Shaoxun, and Wei Duke Xu Pengju, Zhu Houxi can use very few people, otherwise he would not have found Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo, so Xu Guangzuo was worried about the Xu family's problems, and Zhu Houyu directly chose to ignore it.

Zhu Houxi said in a flat tone: "As the helmsman of a family, Xu Laoguo Gong is looking at the Xu family behind him, which can be understood by this world, but I also hope that Xu Laoguo understands that for Daming, His Majesty is the helmsman of Daming, and he is also the helmsman of my Zhu family, which is very important to Daming and the Zhu family, and there is no room for mistakes." ”

Dingguo Gong, who is over half a hundred years old, even if Zhu Houxi's tone is flat now, he still hears the threat in Zhu Houxi's tone.

"Rest assured, the old man will never break his promise."

"Then the son of the world will take his leave first."

After Zhu Houyu finished speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Xu Guogong a chance to send him at all, which seemed very rude in common sense, but Zhu Houyu also had his reasons for doing so.

Originally, Zhu Houyu and Xu Guangzuo had a very happy conversation, but Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, questioned his transfer of troops into Beijing, although Zhu Houyi didn't care in his heart, but Zhu Houyu understood very well that Xu Guangzuo didn't trust him.

Then there is no need for Zhu Houyu to continue to be false and wronged with Xu Guangzuo, just treat all this as a transaction, he Xu Guangzuo will protect Zhengde and return to Beijing safely, and he will definitely protect the future scenery of the Xu family.

"Father"

Seven-year-old Xu Yanzuo ran out of the back hall and shouted at Xu Guangzuo.

Seeing his son appear, Xu Guangzuo's old face suddenly filled with a smile.

Xu Guangzuo has a son in old age, and he has always been ruthless to this son, if he wasn't worried that the Xu family would not accept it, he would not have made a deal with Zhu Houxi, and he would have to go into battle to play with his life at an old age.

Zhu Houxi, who left the Xu Mansion, was not idle at all and went directly to the next house, Chengguo Mansion, Zhu Fu was just recalled to Beizhili last month, and he was approached by Zhu Houyi before he had much rest, which surprised him.

After arranging the matter of letting Zhu Fu accompany him on the expedition, Zhu Houxi aimed at the next target, the British Gong Zhang Lun.

When Zhu Houyu had finished arranging all the affairs of the three families, it was already dark, and Zhu Houyu returned to Xingwangfu with the special guard.

Zhengde listened to Wei Bin's report in the leopard room, and teased the leopard in front of him when he was fine, as if he didn't care about these things Zhu Houxi did at all.

"Your Majesty, after the prince went to the three princes' mansions today, he will return to the palace."

"Dog, you said he just wanted to see those generals, why didn't he know to come and see me?"

"The prince is also concerned about chaos, just thinking about His Majesty's safety."

Wei Bin had a smile on his face, not feeling angry or sad at all because of Zhengde's insults, as if he was honored to be called so by Zhengde.

As one of the Eight Tigers, how could Wei Bin not have a temper, but even if the former Eight Tigers were Liu Jin, who was in power and the opposition, he was worthy of being obeyed by Zhengde, not to mention him Wei Bin.

Hearing Wei Bin say this, Zhengde pretended to be angry and said, "How much benefit did you receive from him, and you actually said good things for him." ”

Wei Bin shouted wronged, and said aggrievedly: "Alas, the slave and the maid are good emperors, the slaves and maids are wronged, the slaves and maids have not received the benefits of the prince, the slave and the maid are childless and grandchildren, what is the use of asking for more benefits, the slave and the maid can see that the prince is really good to the emperor, and of course the slave and the maid have to say good things about the prince." ”

As Wei Bin, who grew up with Emperor Zhengde, of course he knew that Zhengde's love for Zhu Houyu came from the heart, and of course such Zhu Houyu was not something that he Wei Bin could offend, just say good things about Zhu Houyu at the moment, and he didn't need to care about the rest at all.

Sure enough, as Wei Bin expected, Zhengde's previous anger was all pretended, and he smiled: "Okay, I just teased you, why are you still crying." ”

Wei Bin, who was crying and wiping away tears, sobbed: "The slave is happy, the slave is happy for the emperor, and there can be a brother who cares about the emperor so sincerely." ”

"Okay, don't cry, come back and make a decree, let you have another son and nephew as a brocade guard, and let your brother care about you."

Wei Bin, who was still in tears a moment ago, heard Zhengde's words, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him: "Slave and maid thank the emperor." ”

What disappointed Zhengde was that Zhu Houxi did not enter the palace to see the driver in the next few days, and he closed the door in the palace to thank guests, not knowing what he was doing.

Of course, Zhengde, as the emperor, couldn't lose face, so he deliberately didn't let people send a decree to summon Zhu Houxi to see him, and Zhu Houyi didn't think of going to see his eldest brother, and this stalemate lasted for half a month.

In the early morning, Zhengde saw Zhu Houxi, who had not seen him for half a month, and the whole person gave people a sense of decadence, and he was also much thinner.

"There's a book."

As soon as Wei Bin's words fell, Zhu Houyu took the lead in speaking: "Minister, Zhu Houxi, the prince of Xingwangfu, has a book. ”

"Speak."

At the suggestion of Zhengde, Zhu Houxi spoke again: "The minister Bao raised Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, and Zhang Lun, the Duke of England, accompanied General Zhu Shou to go on the expedition to Jianzhouwei. ”

In order to please Zhengde and make Zhengde agree to his proposal, Zhu Houxi deliberately did not call Zhengde his eldest brother this time, but directly called Zhengde's other name, General Zhu Shou.

Zhengde is a person who is very eager to be recognized, in order to be recognized, he has made a lot of efforts, and wants to prove himself to the world, and now he can be recognized by Zhu Houxi, and he is naturally very happy in his heart, and immediately said: "Quasi-play." ”
