Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 311 Love the beauty but not the country

"Free gift!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the two people in front of him, and out of the habit he had cultivated for many years, calculations came to his mind instantly.

Cao Zhengchun is just an eunuch, and all his power comes from the emperor, so it is not difficult to subdue him.

Zhu Wushi's scheming, martial arts and strategy are far superior to Cao Zhengchun's, but his heroism is short of breath and his son and daughter love each other, so there is nothing to worry about.

"The emperor came to see me, why?"

Zhu Houzhao asked softly.

Although he thought it was a bit strange that this eldest nephew was inexplicable today, Zhu ignored it and said in a thick and powerful voice:
"Ye Gucheng, the well-known lord of Baiyun City in the rivers and lakes, met with Chuuxue, the west gate of Wanmei Villa, to fight a sword duel at the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City on August [-]th. I came here to ask His Majesty for instructions."

"The old slave also came for this matter."

Cao Zhengchun hastily followed suit and said.

"Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuuxue!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes froze. He was naturally interested in watching the duel between the sword fairy and the sword god, but he deeply disliked such impure sword tactics.

Ye Gucheng has a very close relationship with the Nanwang Mansion, and he planned to rebel and seize the throne early on. Wang An's dog thing is with the Nanwang Mansion, and the duel venue is placed in the Forbidden City. Follow him.

"On the night of the full moon, on the top of the Forbidden City, a sword comes to the west, and immortals fly from the sky."

Recited that well-known quote in a low voice, Zhu Houzhao's heart was filled with killing intent.

On the surface, he remained calm, and praised: "The names of Baiyun City Lord and Ximen Chuuxue, even though I have lived in the palace for a long time, I have heard of them. The duel between the two of them must be very exciting."

"The forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace should not be allowed to enter and exit by people from all walks of life, but for the sake of the two peak swordsmen, I can let go of the restrictions and let them decide the outcome at the top of the Forbidden City."

Hearing this, Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun both heaved a sigh of relief, because they were afraid that Zhu Houzhao would not allow this duel to take place on the top of the Forbidden City.

On the night of the full moon, on the top of the Forbidden City, the duel between two peerless swordsmen. It's not just the Nanwang Mansion who are behind the calculations, they also have their own little thoughts.

The expressions of the two fell into Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help shaking his head and sneering secretly. Nanwangfu thought he was doing it secretly, but he didn't know that his little tricks had already been figured out by Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun.

Zhu Wushi, Hulong Villa, and Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang all started their business by engaging in intelligence, and there are very few things in this world that they don't know.

"Eunuch Cao, you go back first, I have something to talk to the emperor!"

Glancing at Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Houzhao said calmly.

"The old slave retire."

Cao Zhengchun left knowingly.

After Cao Zhengchun completely left his line of sight, Zhu Houzhao just looked at Zhu Wushi. The eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts made Zhu Wushi very uncomfortable, feeling that he had no secrets in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"Uncle, are you loyal?"

Zhu Houzhao's sudden question caught Zhu Wushi by surprise, and he was stunned immediately, but Zhu Wushi was Zhu Wushi after all, he reacted instantly, and said without hesitation:
"The minister is loyal to Daming and has no second thoughts."

He is decisive, speaks righteously, and is full of righteousness. If you don't know his true face, you will definitely treat him as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The highest level of deception is to deceive oneself, and Zhu Wushi has undoubtedly reached such a level. Although he has ulterior motives, his actions really make people unable to find fault.

The adopted sons he cultivated by himself all regard him as a loyal minister of Daming, and they are usually loyal when they open their mouths, and they are loyal when they shut their mouths, which shows how superb Zhu Wushi's acting skills are.

"Is it?"

Zhu Houzhao sneered, being loyal to Daming does not mean being loyal to him.

"Is the emperor loyal to me?"

Regardless of how tough his mental quality is, Zhu blurted out words of loyalty without the slightest hesitation: "I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I will do my best to talk about it."

I was secretly surprised, this eldest nephew performed too well today, every word was full of domineering, which made it difficult for him to resist.

Zhu Houzhao also applauded secretly. Before the fox's tail was exposed, Zhu Wushi was really speechless.

If he didn't know the details of Zhu Wushi's background, Zhu Houzhao would have believed in his loyalty with that upright and dignified appearance of serving the country wholeheartedly.

The big treachery seems loyal, and the big fake looks like the truth.

Zhu ignored, great!

If it weren't for the love of beauties in his heart, he loved Jiangshan even more, with Zhu Wushi's strategy of the city, his adopted sons, and another Emperor Zhengde who was fused by Zhu Houzhao, might not be Zhu Wushi's opponents.

"Since the emperor is loyal to me, can you tell me what you want to do by secretly collecting information on the top ten generals at the border?"

Zhu Houzhao pressed on every step of the way.

"How could he know!"

Zhu Wushi's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't expect that the good deeds he did in private would reach Zhu Houzhao's ears.

His complexion changed for a while, privately collecting information on the top ten generals at the border is tantamount to treason, and his eldest nephew will not let it go.

A killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he really wanted to kill this extremely strange elder nephew directly in front of him, so that it would be over once and for all.

As soon as the idea of ​​killing someone to silence him emerged, he resolutely suppressed it. The emperor must have expert guards by his side. He might not be able to kill the elder nephew.

Not all the black information about the top ten generals at the border has been obtained, and the nemesis Cao Zhengchun has not been killed yet. Due to various considerations, the eldest nephew cannot be killed yet.

After a few breaths, Zhu Wushou's mind was already in a thousand searches, and the pros and cons were weighed very clearly.

"Your Majesty may have misunderstood. I did not intend to do anything wrong by collecting information about the top ten generals at the border, but to prevent the top ten generals from being too big."

Zhu ignored pretending to be calm, and gave Zhu Houzhao a very lame statement.

It is not unreasonable to defend against the top ten generals at the border, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes. Even if you are guarding against the generals at the border, why didn't you tell the emperor, but acted privately?
The original Emperor Zhengde wouldn't believe Zhu Wushi's explanation, let alone Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao didn't expose him, but mentioned a woman who made Zhu Wushi dream.

"Let's keep Uncle Huang's loyalty in his stomach, time will tell everything."

"It's just that I'm curious, Uncle Huang, do you still remember Su Xin?"

Suxin, Suxin, Suxin!

Zhu Wushi's face suddenly changed, and a blurred but extremely clear figure appeared in his mind involuntarily.

All his calculations and calculations throughout his life were all for "suxin". It can be said that he was living for Suxin.

It is because of Su Xin that he worked so hard to manage Hulong Villa and secretly coveted the throne.

It was because of Su Xin that he frantically framed his sworn brothers.

Suxin is his dream, for Suxin, he would give almost everything, even his life.

Zhu Wushi is a very contradictory person. On the one hand, he is magnificent, the city is deep, the layout is far-reaching, and he has a very heroic appearance;
Such a person is difficult to deal with, but also easy to deal with.

"What does His Majesty know?"

Zhu Wushi stared at Zhu Houzhao firmly, and the killing intent that had just been suppressed surged into his heart again.

　There have been frequent outbreaks recently, and book lovers must take protective measures when going out!
