Daming: From the end of Hongwu

371 Chapter 369 - The King of Han treats guests and meets the prince by chance

Which one is more likely to change the world alone or be assimilated by the world?
In the evening, Zhen Wu inexplicably thought of this question again.

But before the distinction, this time he seems to have found his answer. Over the years, he has finally gotten used to the operating mode of this era bit by bit, gradually ignoring the concept of wives and concubines, and gradually understanding this. age hierarchy.

Even if there are some things he still can't understand.

But just like when he graduated from university, facing the rules in the workplace, the different developments brought about by different family backgrounds, and facing some injustices in the society, he adaptively began to polish the edges and corners of his body. I have smoothly integrated into this era.

If you want to change the people's popular perception, you can't just shout slogans and change the system.

It has to go through the subtle influence of several generations.

Therefore, when Zhen Wu took Xiao Qi to Chen Mao's house the next day, Chen Mao's reaction to Xiao Qi having a housemate was beyond Zhen Wu's expectations, but somewhat unexpected.

Chen Mao was even more generous than Zhen Wu had imagined, and even complained that Zhen Wu was making a fuss out of a molehill.

In Chen Mao's heart, there is absolutely no need to come to the door to apologize for such a trivial matter.

This made Zhen Wu a little dumbfounded.

Even after Xiao Qi went to find Chen Yu'er, Chen Mao still said to Zhen Wu in an understanding way: "Young people are uncertain, the Duke doesn't need to care too much, not to mention that since Yu'er is a regular wife, she should also behave like a regular wife." , must not be able to do such a thing as being jealous, the Duke's actions made the humble official a little uneasy."

Zhen Wu opened his mouth and sighed: "Don't think too much, I just treat Yu'er as one of my own, and I don't want to make her sad, and it is my seventh younger brother who has done ridiculous things, so I should confess my guilt." Here, Zhen Wu said with a serious face: "I will also tell you today that I will strictly discipline the seventh brother in the future, so that I will not let him wrong Yu'er in the slightest."

"Guogong is serious, so it doesn't matter. I have known Guogong for many years in a humble position, and I have always admired Guogong as a person. Seeing brothers and brothers, I feel at ease, so Yu'er is actually a blessing for her to marry. "

Zhen Wu saw that Chen Mao was serious, so he didn't want to say anything more, for fear that if he said too much, it would cause Chen Mao to think wildly, and it would not be good at that time, so he changed the subject and talked about military affairs with Chen Mao.

They chatted until almost noon, when Zhen Wu took Xiao Qi and left.

And when Chen Mao sent Zhen Wu and the two away, he turned his head and walked towards the back house.

On the road.

Chen Mao suddenly thought of some rumors about Zhen Wu in the past, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly for a while, and when he returned to the room, he sighed with his wife: "I used to see Duke Zhao approaching women, and I thought it was Princess Yong'an who was wearing a tight corset." , I didn't expect it to be caused by family traditions, so looking at it this way, Yu'er is really a blessing for her to marry into such a clean and affectionate family."

Chen Mao's daughter-in-law nodded. Oftentimes, the family style of a family is reflected in these details. Just when Xiao Qi had an extra person in the room, Zhao Guogong personally pressed him to plead guilty. This is enough to explain something.

In fact, she and Chen Mao have similar thoughts on this matter. It’s not a big problem for a girl from an ordinary family. her daughter.

However, Chen Mao's daughter-in-law still gave Chen Mao a hard look and said: "Since you know that he has a good family, even if you don't want to control yourself, then you should also control your sons. They also have people in the house. You don't want to reprimand them any more. Be careful that in the future they will be a little different from other people's temper."

Chen Mao blushed, and pretended to understand half of the sentence: "Don't worry, you must care. I'll teach those bastards a lesson in the evening."

……

On the other side, just as Zhen Wu returned home, the housekeeper sent an invitation.

Zhen Wu was slightly puzzled. In fact, ordinary invitations could not be sent to Zhen Wu at all, but those who could be sent to Zhen Wu were those with different identities, except for acquaintances.

"who?"

Zhen Wu took it while speaking.

The steward said respectfully: "It was sent by the Palace of the King of Han."

Zhen Wu's footsteps paused: "The person who came, do you have anything to say?"

It was beyond Zhen Wu's expectation.

The housekeeper shook his head affirmatively, and then said: "No, just let the little one be handed over to the uncle."

Ah.

The corner of Zhen Wu's mouth twitched, Zhu Gaoxu was really gone.

Don't say to invite him in person, don't say anything, just rely on an invitation to let him go to the banquet?

In the past, Zhu Gaoxu didn't invite people like this.

This time, could it be that Zhu Gaoxu still wanted to have an affair with him because he hadn't looked for Zhu Gaoxu all this time?

interesting.

"Okay, I see." Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Go ahead, if you reply to the post, I will call you again."

The butler left in response.

While Zhen Wu was playing with the invitation, he walked towards his courtyard.

When he returned to the house, Zhen Wu opened the invitation, which contained the content that three days later, the Palace of the King of Han would organize a wedding banquet, and wanted to invite Zhen Wu to join in the fun. After Zhen Wu finished reading, he closed the invitation and threw it aside, then tapped At the table, I began to think about whether to go or not.

Speaking of which, recently Zhu Gaoxu can be said to be full of ambition.

Before, Zhu Di sealed Zhu Gaoxu to Yunnan. Zhu Gaoxu was not happy about it. When he found Zhu Di, he burst into tears and cried, and kept saying, "I didn't do anything wrong, why did I get sent so far away?" ', even if Zhu Di tried to explain well, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't be coaxed well.

In fact, Zhen Wu could vaguely guess Zhu Di's intentions. How could it be a distribution to Yunnan? This move itself carries the recognition and trust of Zhu Gaoxu's ability, because whether it is the fetters of the Nanyang countries or the tenderness of the local chieftains , are all things that Zhu Di values.

It is even exaggerated to say that Yunnan is as important to the southern border as Beiping is to the northern border.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have let his favorite and trusted adopted son Mu Ying go to guard Yunnan, and he went there for many years, and finally died in Yunnan.

Needless to say, Muying's ability also shows the importance of Yunnan.

But Zhu Gaoxu is unwilling, what can Zhu Di do?
Zhu Di thought of Zhu Gaoxu's contributions and hard work when Jing was in trouble, and finally softened his heart, and agreed to Zhu Gaoxu's idea of ​​staying in the capital for a while, but because Zhu Gaoxu had not entered the fiefdom, the three guards according to the prince's practice were not implemented, which made Zhu Gaoxu Found an excuse.

Just a few days ago, Zhu Gaoxu kept running to the palace, and finally got Tiance Guard into his hands, and became one of his guards.

Among the guards of the Great Ming Dynasty, in terms of honor, they belonged to the guards in the capital, and the most noble of the guards in the capital belonged to the Shangzhi Guards directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, that is, the personal guards, and the next few belonged to the Dudufu of the Five Armies Several guards under the jurisdiction of Beijing.

And Tiance Guard was one of the guards under the jurisdiction of the former mansion.

In fact, these are not important.

What's important is that the name Tiancewei is a little different. In just a few days, Zhen Wu heard Zhu Gaoxu say something to others with a grin: "Back then, Emperor Taizong of Tang was appointed Tiance General, but Today, I, the King of Han, have Tiance Guards to protect me. '

Okay.

This dares to be compared to Li Shimin. Why, do you want Zhu Di to stop following Li Yuan's old path, and want Zhu Di to make him the prince directly?

But why didn't he ask Zhu Di if he would accept Li Yuan's script? If Zhu Di gave him a sigh of relief on the spot, it would be considered that Zhu Di felt sorry for his son.

Moreover, Li Shimin's concept of Tiance Mansion is full of talents.

How does Zhu Gaoxu's Tiance Guard compare?

Li Shimin is not as crazy as him.

Look at Zhu Gaoxu's embarrassment, even if he doesn't keep a low profile, there's no need to show off at the mansion, and he doesn't know what he's thinking.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu's brows twitched irritably. He was only regretful that Tian Cewei was not under the jurisdiction of his right mansion, so this matter had nothing to do with him, so he couldn't intervene, otherwise Zhen Wufei would break into Han Wang's mansion go.

But no matter what, now that it has developed like this, what else can I do?
Are you going to this banquet again?

Zhen Wu shook his head. There is no point in going to the banquet. With Zhu Gaoxu's current floating method, if he can listen to his words, he will be damned. Moreover, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi don't know what to think when he goes away like this.

Let's wait for another chance.

At this time, Zhu Yuying, who was teasing her son in the back room, saw Zhen Wu coming back. She coaxed her son twice, walked out, and started talking to Zhen Wu about a poetry meeting, and wanted Zhen Wu Accompany Xiaoliu to play together.

Zhen Wu was just getting annoyed and didn't have the heart to talk to Zhu Yuying.

However, after Zhen Wu echoed a few words, he suddenly realized: "What time did you just say?"

"Three days later, what's the matter?" Zhu Yuying was puzzled.

not very.

It's just that there is a ready-made reason.

Zhen Wu said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, I just have time."

Zhu Yuying didn't doubt that there was him, and said with a smile: "That's it. I'm afraid I won't be able to do what Xiao Liu has to do. Since you have time to play with Xiao Liu, you can tell Xiao Liu later, she will be thinking about it." I have been waiting for a letter for a long time."

"Success." After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go and tell Xiao Liu now."

Zhu Yuying nodded with a smile.

And when Zhen Wu told Xiao Liu about this, Xiao Liu immediately jumped up with a whimper of joy. Zhen Wu was very moved when he saw it.

……

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

On this day, Zhen Wu arranged guards, took Xiao Liu and four or five girls invited by Xiao Liu, and went to the Qinhuai River together, and then everyone boarded a second-floor painting boat and started to play.

Today is a lively day, probably this group of little girls have been looking forward to it for quite a long time, as soon as they got on the boat, they started to have fun one by one, Zhen Wu watched these little girls play, unconsciously relaxed Quite a lot.

Among them, Zhu Xiuxiu is the most daring. The other girls were still drinking fruit drinks, so she took out the wine and urged the others to drink with her, and persuaded: "This opportunity is rare today. Everyone in the family knows that we are with you." Liu Dezi and her brother came out together, allowing us to play for a long time, and Liu Dezi's brother is here, it doesn't matter if we are drunk, at worst, we will go home and say that Liu Dezi's brother has agreed, who in the family will You can't blame us."

Zhen Wu's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he said angrily: "Don't use me as a shield, especially Zhu Xiuxiu, I will tell your brother what you just said later."

Zhu Xiuxiu made a bitter face after yelling.

However, in the blink of an eye, she began to signal Xiao Liu to persuade Zhen Wu.

After Xiaoliu's heart was moved, he just looked at Zhen Wu pitifully, but Zhen Wu stared back at him. After Zhu Xiuxiu saw it, he raised his forehead and sighed: "Liu Dezi, why are you so worthless, why don't you Dare to choke your brother."

"Bah, you are not the same in front of your brother." Xiao Liu retorted.

The two suddenly quarreled.

But after a while, Zhu Xiuxiu actually came to Zhen Wu's side, tugged on Zhen Wu's sleeve and begged, "Brother Zhen, you can make the decision and let us have a drink."

Zhen Wu glared at Zhu Xiuxiu, but this girl was not afraid of Zhen Wu, instead she called for several other little girls to pester Zhen Wu.

For a moment, Zhen Wu's head grew bigger.

These little girls all belong to the lord's family in the army, and the family has a good relationship with Zhen Wu, and they are sisters with Xiaoliu. Not to mention being afraid of Zhen Wu, they even dare to hug Zhen Wu's arm and threaten Zhen Wu Wu wants to jump into the river.

After Zhen Wu was so entangled, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I won't do it, but you can only drink a little, don't be greedy, Xiao Liu, please show me, if anyone drinks too much, go home I'll take care of you here, do you hear me?"

Xiao Liu and the others didn't care about the second half of Zhen Wu's sentence, they only heard Zhen Wu's answer, and they cheered and went to play the game.

Zhen Wu smiled wryly, regretting that he came out to play with these girls.

The playing time passed quickly.

Gradually arrived in the afternoon.

Someone has already started setting up lanterns and venues on the shore.

After Xiao Liu and the others saw it, they wanted to go ashore to play noisily again, but Zhen Wu had no choice but to let the boat dock, and after they all went down, they went straight to the bustling street.

At this time, Cheng Liang suddenly came over and reported in a low voice: "Grand Duke, the followers are still following, and sometimes even jumped over our people, do you want to take them down?"

Zhen Wu frowned. In fact, when he went out earlier, he noticed that someone was following him, but at that time he thought it was a guard sent by a certain little girl's house secretly, so he ignored them.

But following so closely now has affected the guards he secretly deployed.

Zhen Wu has to take care of this.

He stepped forward to Zhu Xiuxiu and the others and asked: "Which of your family is secretly sending guards? They are a little tight with you. Go and tell them to keep them a little far away. There are my people nearby. If there is anything Unexpectedly, my people will not let anyone get close to us, it is easy to cause accidental injury, and we will not be able to tell who is who among your people, and it will be difficult to distinguish the enemy from us, which will only increase the variables."

However, what Zhen Wu didn't expect was that the little girls shook their heads after looking at each other.

Zhu Xiuxiu said: "My brother knew that Brother Zhen and I came out, so he didn't arrange any guards at all, only two people who had been protecting me followed, but they knew the rules, and they ordered them to stop far away. will follow."

Ok?
Zhen Wu looked at the others.

The others nodded in agreement.

One even said: "My father still told me, if it is not safe to come out with you, there will be no safe place in the whole world."

This…

Zhen Wu's face darkened, and he looked at Cheng Liang in a blink of an eye.

Cheng Liang was taken aback, he hurried down to grab someone without Zhen Wu's orders.

Only Xiao Liu suddenly thought of something, and whispered to Zhen Wu with some confusion: "Brother, I...I... seem to know who it is."

"Who?" Zhen Wu asked suspiciously.

Xiao Liu looked at Zhu Xiuxiu and the others, and pulled Zhen Wu to the side. After confirming that Zhu Xiuxiu and the others could not hear them, he whispered: "But... maybe they are people sent by Dingguo Gong."

Duke Ding?
Zhen Wu looked at Xiao Liu, his expression became more and more strange.

soon.

Cheng Liang came over and said beside Zhen Wu: "There are six people in total, all of them have been taken down, but..."

Zhen Wu interrupted angrily: "It's just that there is no hostility? Are they all sent by Ding Guogong?"

Cheng Liang was shocked: "How did the Duke know? You are too good at this."

"That's terrible." Zhen Wu said angrily, "Tell them all to go away."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wuti slipped away Xiao Liu, and returned to Zhu Xiuxiu and the others again. After leaving Xiao Liu casually, he said to Zhu Xiuxiu: "It's okay, you can play as you like."

After Zhu Xiuxiu heard it, she immediately felt relieved, and then started to play like crazy again in the blink of an eye.

I trust Zhen Wu a lot.

Only Xiao Liu was a little bored.

But who knew that after a while, Zhen Wu and his party bumped into Xu Jingchang who also came to play.

After Xu Jingchang glanced at Xiaoliu secretly, he started to exchange greetings with Zhen Wu with an absent-minded smirk, but before chatting for a few words, Zhen Wu stared forward, froze for a moment, and then the corner of his mouth leaked out. There was a smile.

It's really busy today.

He glanced at Xu Jingchang, and then at the people in front of him.

There are so many caring people in this world.

In front of him was Zhu Gaochi.

It was such a coincidence that the two of them met by the Qinhuai River when Zhu Gaoxu held a banquet.

Zhu Gaochi also saw Zhen Wu at this time, and both of them greeted each other with a sense of surprise of a coincidence, and then began to chat with each other.

And Xu Jingchang saw Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaochi having a good chat, so he found a chance to come to Xiaoliu and the others. After seeing Xu Jingchang, Xiaoliu remembered the last time Xu Jingchang said to find some powerful people to play hide-and-seek with her. So he pretended to be angry and said: "Xu Jingchang, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Xiuxiu and the others all looked at Xu Jingchang.

When Xu Jingchang saw Xiaoliu questioning him, he panicked and said without thinking, "I...I...wanted to explain to your brother that those people...are actually protecting me, not..."

"Stop." Seeing that Xu Jingchang was about to say something about her, Xiao Liu quickly interrupted.

Afterwards, Xiao Liu ignored Zhu Xiuxiu and the others' eyes, pulled Xu Jingchang aside in embarrassment and said, "Didn't you see that Zhu Xiuxiu and the others were there? Dare to say anything."

After Xu Jingchang came to his senses, he quickly apologized and said, "My fault, my fault, I didn't think much about it when I panicked, but I really wanted to explain to your brother, but your brother didn't ask me anything after seeing me. I'm not ashamed to bring it up, but presumably when your brother sees me, he can guess that those people are protecting me, not following you."

As soon as these words fell, Xiao Liu was almost pissed off.

She pointed to Xu Jingchang and said, "Are you a pig's brain? My brother found those people as soon as he went out. Are you at my door when we go out? Also, you said you are looking for someone who is powerful, that is what is so powerful." People? My brother caught them all in a short while, thanks to you still blowing loudly."

"They are actually very powerful. You went out twice before, but you didn't notice them." Xu Jingchang said.

Xiao Liu was stunned.

"The first two times I went out, they were already stalking me?"

Xu Jingchang nodded heavily.

Xiao Liu thought about it for a while, and found that he didn't notice any signs, and suddenly felt a little lost, just like a very strong person encountering frustration: "Ah, I'm so bad, why can't I even compare to my brother. "

Seeing Xiao Liu's loss, Xu Jingchang instinctively couldn't bear it, so he comforted him: "Don't be like this, in fact, you are already very good, and I can't beat you alone among the three."

Who can imagine.

Xiao Liu frowned, and was so unhappy that he didn't even feel lost. He stared and said, "As far as your body and martial arts are concerned, why do you think that winning three is a good thing?"

hiss.

Xu Jingchang was a little numb.

The next moment, he was not happy either.

He admits that he may not be able to beat Xiao Liu, but he really doesn't believe that he can't beat Xiao Liu with all three.

"Let's talk about it, why do you think it's not good for me to win three?" Xu Jingchang refused.

"Try?" Xiao Liu was eager to try.

amount.

Xu Jingchang looked at Xiao Liu: "Let's forget it."

"Tch, I know you dare not."

Xiao Liuyi pursed his lips and said: "Okay, okay, you go, we still have to play."

"Then where's your brother? I'll think of another way to explain, or I'll panic." Xu Jingchang worried.

"Go ahead, I'll explain to you later." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he ignored Xu Jingchang and turned around to catch up with Zhu Xiuxiu and the others.

Zhu Xiuxiu and the others asked Xiao Liu curiously, "What did you say to Duke Ding?"

"Nothing to say."

Xiao Liu pretended to be calm and said: "I just want my brother and I to explain that the person who followed us just now was protecting him, and my brother caught him because of a misunderstanding."

Zhu Xiuxiu and the others let out an 'oh', and then put the matter aside, and started playing around with Xiao Liu.

And Xiao Liu didn't know why, but for no reason, she didn't want Zhu Xiuxiu and the others to know about the little game of hide-and-seek between her and Xu Jingchang.
