23. Emperor Zhu Houzhao

Rebuilt in the Yongle period of Wudang Mountain Tianzhu Peak in front of the Zixiao Palace, although it is dark at this time, the hall is still brightly lit.

In the hall, an old man about fifty years old, dressed in a purple robe, with a black long beard, sits in the center of the left side under the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu, and on both sides sits an old Taoist priest who is nearly seventy years old with white beard, opposite is a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, wearing a brocade robe, and then there is a military general and a man in brocade clothes standing on both sides.

The three people on the right are naturally the mighty deputy generals Jiang Bin and Zhang Hamu and Zhao Gongqing, who are actually in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, and the black-bearded old man on the left is the purple cloth Taoist of Wudang, and the old man on both sides is the purple cloth Taoist uncle, and they are also the two most prestigious elders in Wudang Mountain.

At this time, I only heard Jiang Bin say to the purple-clothed Taoist:

"Dao Chief, our plan has changed this time, and I may not be able to preside over the ceremony the day after tomorrow, because just now the celebrant Zhang Gonggong sent a secret letter, saying that something happened to Ying Tianfu, and I may have to rush back at night."

The purple-clothed Taoist asked with a heavy face:

"But what happened to make Governor Jiang in such a hurry, isn't His Majesty the Emperor also in Yingtianfu?"

Jiang Bin paused for a moment, and then said:

"Don't hide what you said, the traitor Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was rescued by a group of people in Yingtianfu the day before yesterday, and the news also told me that His Majesty the Emperor had also arrived near Wudang Mountain, so I had to protect His Majesty the Emperor and go back to arrest the traitor Zhu Chenhao."

After speaking, he sighed.

The Taoist priest was immediately shocked:

"Isn't it legendary that His Majesty the Emperor has been injured and sick in bed, how did he come to my Wudang Mountain."

Jiang Bin replied:

"Your Majesty was in bed before, but Your Majesty also went out in private to have fun on the pretext of being sick in bed before, but at that time they all dragged me out together, and I think Your Majesty even hid it from me this time."

The purple-clothed Taoist chief smiled and said:

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't trust Governor Jiang very much now."

Jiang Bin immediately replied:

"Of course not, maybe Your Majesty likes to play alone."

After saying that, he said:

"Don't talk about this, after I leave, I will leave General Zhang Hamu and dozens of Jinyi guards to help the Taoist chief you, anyway, the Wang Taoist priest is gone, there are only Shaolin monks and Emei, and those Taoist priests in Kunlun, Daoist Chief, your Wudang should be enough to deal with it."

The purple-clothed Taoist chief stood up and swore and said:

"Governor Jiang can rest assured to go, we will definitely lead the world's martial arts to serve the imperial court loyally in the future."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Bin led the two people out of the main hall.

After they left, at this time, the fat Taoist priest on the left of the purple-clothed Taoist said:

"Master and nephew, can we grasp it the day after tomorrow?"

The purple-clothed Taoist replied:

"Jiang Dudu is gone, although Wang Yangming is also dead, but I still don't know too sure."

At this time, he was a little thinner on the side, and the old Tao said:

"Wudang is going to be ruined by you, I don't want to participate in your affairs, don't pull me in the future, junior brother and nephew, I just want to cultivate well."

After speaking, he walked out of the main hall directly.

These two old men are Wudang Liangyi Sword Xuankong and Xuansu Elders, the thin one is Xuankong, and the fat one is Xuansu.

At this time, on the second floor of the Yingchun Building, in the fourth wing, Zhu Shou and Feng Niang were drinking.

Zhu Shou was already a little drunk, but Feng Niang drank extraordinarily, and there was no sign of drunkenness.

Zhu Shou was already a little possessive of Feng Niang, and at this time, he leaned over to Feng Niang by getting drunk, and Feng Niang could only dodge to the side slightly. Zhu Shou saw Feng Niang hiding from him, so he directly hugged Feng Niang with both hands.

Feng Niang got up and ran to the other side of the table, and said to Zhu Shou:

"General, you're drunk, why don't you go to bed by yourself first, and I'll tidy up first."

Zhu Shouman said with a drunken voice:

"Miss Flower Shadow, do you know that I have fantasized about spending Wushan with you offstage, and when I come up and see your appearance, I can't bear myself, so you will obey me."

After speaking, he rushed towards Huaying, just hugging a person, Zhu Shou thought he was hugging Huaying, but he took a closer look and hugged a young man, and there was a purple-shirted man standing with Huaying next to him.

These two people naturally never forgot Zhu Er. It turned out that the two of them saw that Zhu Shou was drunk and wanted to possess Feng Niang, so they rushed in directly

Zhu Shou also stood up suddenly, and said a little angrily:

"Who are you, how can you do me a good thing?"

Zhu Er immediately walked up to Zhu Shou and knelt down and said:

"King Xing's second son, Hou Xi, is here to meet the emperor's brother."

At this time, Du Buyi knew that the second brother of this fellow villager turned out to be the little prince, and Feng Niang immediately pulled Du Buyi to kneel and bow down when she saw the opportunity.

At this time, Zhu Shou felt in his heart for a while, and he actually knew his identity, and then asked Zhu Houxi to look up carefully and see that his appearance was indeed almost the same as that of King Xing, and said:

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here, and even Uncle Xing's son came."

And then he said:

"Get up, I am now the general Zhu Shou, don't be polite to Brother Wang"

Then he pointed to the side of the flower shadow and said:

"Who are you?"

Zhu Houxi got up and said:

"This is my fellow villager, both of whom are from Anlu Prefecture, and they are also my eldest brother who has just married a righteous person, called Du Don't forget."

Zhu Shou said again:

"Do you know each other?"

After speaking, he motioned for the two to get up.

Feng Niang pulled Du Bu to stand up and said:

"My name is Feng Niang, it was yesterday that the old bustard of the Yingchun Building casually gave me the name of Huaying, I didn't know that you were His Majesty the Emperor, and I hope to forgive Feng Niang for the offense."

After speaking, he bowed to Zhu Houzhao again.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Feng Niang and Du were a little intimate next to each other, so he said a little unhappily:

"My name is Zhu Shou, General Zhu Shou, didn't you hear it just now?"

Then he pointed to Du Buyi and Feng Niang and said:

"What are you two doing, Feng Niang is my person tonight."

Du did not forget to see that Emperor Zhu Hou took care of Feng Niang when he got up just now, holding his hand and not letting go, and seeing that the emperor was a little angry, he was ready to shake off Feng Niang's hand.

Unexpectedly, Feng Niang's hand became tighter and tighter, and then said to Emperor Zhu Houzhao:

"This is my husband, and we have already made a private decision for life."

After Feng Niang finished speaking, she said to him:

"Husband, let's get married tomorrow."

Du did not forget to look confused.

Feng Niang saw that Du did not forget to speak, so she said to him again:

"I know you can't forget the woman you grew up with, but I don't mind, I'll wait for you to forget him."

Du Bu didn't know how to say it all the time, in fact, he had already been tempted by Feng Niang in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao saw the two of them like this, and also sighed and said:

"That's it, that's it."

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, a scholar dressed as a person ran in, who had accompanied her downstairs before, and if you looked carefully, this scholar dressed up without a trace of her chin, he must be a eunuch.

I saw the scholar dressed as a person coming in, and when he saw that there were four people in the room, he was shocked, but when he saw the emperor Zhu Houyu making a gesture, he knelt down and said to Zhu Houxi:

"Jiang Dudu is waiting for you downstairs now, and he also has a message to tell you...".

Then he was about to stop, but he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to continue to raise his hand and signal him to continue.

The scholar dressed up as a eunuch and continued:

"The news is that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was rescued, and now the entire Ying Tianfu is in a mess, and I am waiting for Your Majesty to go back and deal with it."

Zhu Houzhao waited for him to finish speaking, and then said:

"Okay, I see, you go down first".

The scholar eunuch withdrew.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao said to several people:

"I'm going back, I hope you will keep the matter of the Spring Festival Building secret for me tonight."

At this time, she was about to leave, Feng Niang immediately chased after her, and said to Zhu Houzhao:

"I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can think about what we talked about tonight when he goes back, and think more about the dawn people of the world, Feng Niang has offended."

After Feng Niang finished speaking, she bowed to Zhu Houzhao again.

Zhu Houzhao said:

"Thank you Feng Niang for your words, see you in the future."

With that, he strode out the door.
