After Hosokawa Keiko and the Fuso samurai left, Du Buyi thanked the Korean general, led the soldiers, and began to return to the Ming Dynasty with Zongshi.

When I returned to Beijing again, it was the end of December of the second year of Jiajing.

Although it was a snowy day on this day, Emperor Zhu Houxi heard that he had caught the sect, and he also brought hundreds of officials to personally hold a celebration ceremony outside the noon gate to welcome Du Yifu.

The hundred officials who came to greet him did not have Yang Yanhe and Yang Yiqing, but I didn't expect Zhang Xuan to return to the emperor at this time!

After the ceremony was completed, the emperor ordered to personally summon Du Yi in the imperial study!

After Du did not forget to come to the imperial study, Zhu Houxi was waiting at this time.

Du did not forget to see the second brother Zhu Er up close at this time, although the second brother is nineteen, but he looks more majestic and confident than before, it seems that being the emperor has changed too much!

At this time, Zhu Houxi saw Du not forgetting to come in, and immediately ordered everyone to retreat, and when he ran over, he was moved and shouted:

"Big brother"!

Then he hugged Du Yi tightly.

Du did not forget to reply:

"Second brother, we haven't seen each other for three years, you've been good in the past few years!"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"It's hard to see at a glance, let's talk about it slowly"!

Then I returned to my seat and sat down on the chair next to me!

Then the two began to talk about their experiences in the past few years!

Du did not forget to say that in the past few years, he has been running with the southwest and the south of the Yangtze River, and he has also had the experience of catching criminals at sea!

Zhu Houxi complained that it was too difficult to be an emperor, the pressure of all kinds of trivial matters every day, and the fact that he was always forced by the ministers to have no way out!

When Zhu Houxi talked about being forced by the ministers all day long, Du did not forget to ask:

"Who is so bold and dares to persecute the second brother's tomorrow like this"?

Zhu Houxi replied:

"Of course, it's those old stubborns in the court, Yang Yanhe and Yang Yiqing and others"!

Ran** clenched his fists and said angrily:

"I can't bear them anymore, especially Yang Yanhe, who always thinks that he covers the sky with one hand, and even asks about the affairs in my palace, and he doesn't take me as the emperor in his eyes at all!"

Then he cried with Du and told him that after he became the emperor, he couldn't even be honest and filial to his parents!

Du Zhen can only comfort back:

"I didn't expect the second brother to be so angry when he became the emperor, it really hurt the second brother"!

Zhu Houxi said again at this time:

"I called Mr. Zhang Xuan back to the capital this time to deal with Yang Yan and these people!"

Then knocked on the chair twice, and then Zhang Xuan also walked into the imperial study!

At this time, Zhang Xuan entered the door and knelt down with a piece of music to salute Emperor Zhu Houxi, then got up and handed the music to Emperor Zhu Houxi!

Zhu Houxi glanced at the fold, and then handed it to Du and said:

"Big brother, what do you think of Mr. Zhang Xuan's performance"!

Du didn't forget to take the fold, and when he opened it, thousands of words were densely written inside.

The content is naturally to ask Emperor Zhu Houxi to issue an edict for his father to dedicate the title of emperor and set up a tablet in the temple.

Then he gave a number of examples, the most important of which was:

"His Majesty the Emperor himself can't recognize each other, what is the model of filial piety in the world"!

Du didn't forget to read it, and said:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang Xuan's research on etiquette is really high, and all the details are detailed, and all aspects are very high!"

Zhu Houxi returned the fold to Zhang Xuan, and then said to the two of them:

"Next month's ** court meeting, I plan to let Mr. Zhang Xuan and the newcomers of the DPRK and China go to this concert together, I don't know what the eldest brother thinks"!

Du did not forget to say:

"Actually, I don't know much about the affairs of the government, I think Mr. Zhang Xuan's twist is indeed reasonable, but I think the minister of the DPRK and China will definitely not agree!"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"If I put up with them today, I won't be able to do it as an emperor!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Only the second brother needs help, as the eldest brother, I will definitely share it for you"!

朱厚熜 says:

"Okay, I really have no regrets about having your big brother in this life"!

Then he changed the topic and said:

"Big brother, do you want to see someone"?

Du did not forget to ask:

"Who"?

Zhu Houxi replied:

"You won't forget the third sister, right"!

Du did not forget to remember the third sister at this time, so he immediately asked:

"Where is the third sister now, how is she doing lately"?

Zhu Houxi sighed and replied:

"I'll take you to her, and you'll know"!

Then let Zhang Xuan go back first, and led Du Yi to a temple in the back garden, at this time, a young female Taoist priest in the Taoist temple was kneeling in front of the statue of Emperor Xuanwu and praying!

Zhu Houxi said:

"Big brother, go talk to her, I'll go back to deal with political affairs first!"

And then left!

At this time, Du Buyi stepped into the temple, walked behind the female Taoist, and said:

"Third sister, is that you"?

At this time, the female Taoist priest, as if she had heard a voice that had not been heard for a long time, immediately stopped praying, and looked back to see that it was the man who had done everything for him.

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Third sister, why did you become a monk and become a Taoist aunt"?

The third sister replied:

"Maybe that's my life!"

Then I told Du Yi about his experience in the past few years!

It turned out that after the third sister returned to the palace with the Empress Dowager Jiang, the Empress Dowager Jiang saw that the third sister said that Du did not come to propose to her for a long time, and found that the third sister was not pregnant.

was furious, reprimanded the third sister, and then forced the third sister to marry her nephew Jiang Bu!

The third sister was unwilling, she hanged herself in the palace all day long, and even committed suicide with scissors to threaten the Empress Dowager Jiang, and finally became a Taoist aunt herself!

Empress Dowager Jiang had no choice but to let her practice on her own in the Taoist temple in the palace.

Although the third sister is a Taoist aunt in the palace, she misses Du Forgetfulness all day long, but she can't get out of the palace gate for half a step, and she is still sullen, and she is actually praying for Du Forgetfulness just now!

Du did not forget to say movingly at this time:

"Third sister, it's really hard for you, it's all my fault, I'm going to take you out of the palace and let you live a happy life"!

Then he came over and wanted to pull the third sister, but the third sister broke away from Du Yiyi's hand at this time, and said:

"Forget it, I've figured it out, although I'm in love with you, but it's impossible for us, I just want to be alone here without anyone to disturb me now!"

I don't forget to see this, and I don't know what to say.

At this time, a palace maid outside brought porridge and vegetarian dishes!

The third sister opened her mouth at this time and said to Du Yi:

"It's not too early, you go back, I'm going to prepare dinner and rest"!

Then he took the plate in the palace maid's hand and walked into the side room!

Seeing this, Du didn't forget to sigh:

"I'm not a good man"!

Then burst into tears, walked out of the Buddhist hall, and walked out of the palace!

At this time, the third sister who was eating in the wing room, but the chopsticks in her hand stopped, and the tears kept dripping, I don't know if it was goodbye or separation!

As soon as Du Buyi came out of the palace, there were a few eunuchs dressed as people, waiting outside, and said to Du Buyi:

"General Du, Your Majesty has heard the news of the general's arrest, and has already prepared a mansion for you outside the palace!"

Then he led Du Yi to the door of a brand-new and magnificent mansion in the city!

Du did not forget to ask:

"It's really the emperor's grace, how did Your Majesty build this huge mansion for me so quickly!"

The eunuch replied:

"General Du, this mansion was originally prepared by His Majesty for the princes in the future, but His Majesty has not yet given birth to a child, it just so happens that General Du, you have come to Beijing victoriously and have a close relationship with Your Majesty, so you should be given to the general"!

Du did not forget and said:

"I, a six-rank general, how dare I accept such a great gift from Your Majesty, this mansion is still a palace, can my father-in-law return it for me"!

The eunuch replied:

"Your Majesty has such a will, how can there be a gift to take it back, you let your father-in-law go and return it, doesn't Your Majesty think that the general you look down on his reward?"

Du did not forget to see this, so he had to say:

"Okay, I'll stay here for now!"

Then he entered the mansion with Wang Zhi and Vice General Zou, and at this time, a group of maids in the mansion came to greet a few people.

Because of the specifications of the palace, the various landscapes in this mansion are not worse than the palace, and some things are more exquisite than the palace, but the area is not much smaller than the palace, and there is no main hall.

Du did not forget to walk around this house, and then asked the maid with him on the side:

"What's your name, girl"?

The maid replied:

"Childe, my name is Jacaranda"!

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Jacaranda, what a name, do you know how many rooms you have in your house?"

The jacaranda replied:

"All the various houses in the house are counted together, it is ninety-nine, I heard that this is a special order of His Majesty the Emperor, ninety-nine means a long time"!

Du did not forget to reply:

"I see!"

Then I couldn't help but feel excited, I didn't dare to imagine that one day I would be able to have a house like the palace, or the emperor himself, and I couldn't help but feel very emotional!

The next day, firecrackers suddenly went off outside the house, and Du did not forget to be woken up, so he got up and asked what was going on.

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Jacaranda girl, how long have you been waiting here, why don't you knock on the door and go in?"

The jacaranda replied:

"I just came here, and I'm afraid of arguing with you, so I'm waiting here"!

Du Buyi hurriedly took the jacaranda at this time, wiped his face with the hair in his hand, and said:

"If you have something to knock on the door in the future, you don't have to wait for me outside on such a cold day"!

Then he asked:

"Why are there firecrackers outside?"

Jacaranda said:

"Congratulations to Master Hou"!

Du was stunned and asked:

"What are you talking about, Jacaranda?

The jacaranda replied:

"Go to the hall quickly, the father-in-law from the palace is waiting for you to announce the decree with His Majesty's will."

Du Buyi hurriedly walked to the hall in the middle of the house, and at this time, a gorgeously dressed eunuch, seeing Du Bu Bu Bu coming, quickly signaled Du Bu Bu to kneel, and then read:

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Tanhua Du does not forget to arrest the thief Kou Zong, and has made great contributions to maintaining my Ming prestige, and is specially named the Marquis of Broken Captivity, rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver"!

Du did not forget to kowtow to thank God for his grace, and then got up to accept the order!

At this time, the father-in-law asked again:

"Wang Zhi and Vice General Zou Yong, Your Majesty also has a will"!

At this time, Du Buyi hurriedly asked the people in the house to call the two of them.

The two of them have their own rewards, Wang Zhi also rewarded 2,000 taels of silver but did not seal his post, Vice General Zou was directly promoted to the coastal garrison of Wupin, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and the accompanying soldiers were also rewarded with 200 taels of silver.

Wang Zhi was a little unconvinced, and asked his father-in-law:

"Why didn't you take up your post"!

Father-in-law replied:

"This is all Your Majesty's will, Wang Zhi, you have no official position, you belong to the ordinary people for meritorious service, Your Majesty will reward you with 2,000 is good"!

At this time, Wang Zhi didn't speak again, so he took the outside silver and left directly, Du didn't forget to chase and ignored it, so he had to come back and send his father-in-law back to the palace first!
