Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 58 Friends and Dogs!

"Wuuuu...His Royal Highness, my husband is devoted to the imperial court. He has told my concubine more than once that he will definitely serve the imperial court if he has the opportunity in the future, even if he sacrifices his life."

"It's a pity that his life is not good, and he died tragically at the hands of gangsters before his talents were displayed..."

Zhu Houzhao sat beside Kangxi, one person and one donkey staring at the crying woman in front of them.

What is this ghost?

What does this woman want to do?
And what exactly did she mean?
Isn't her man dead?

After a person is dead, no matter how talented and useless he is, he still devotes himself to the court. Are you sure your Kong family has such a thing?
Zhu Houzhao is at a loss now, completely unable to understand what this woman wants to do.

Just now, the guard outside the door reported that Duke Yan Sheng's eldest daughter-in-law had something to see.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think much, and let the other party in.

He is still a child now, and there is no such thing as a lonely man and a widow.

However, the other party started to cry as soon as he came in, and what he cried was heartbroken, and Zhu Houzhao who was crying was full of bewilderment.

"That big sister, oh no, this big sister-in-law, can you be simpler, don't make it so complicated, tell me in the simplest language, what do you want to do?"

Seeing this girl crying endlessly, and seeing that she couldn't stop for a short time, a woman was crying in her room in the middle of the night, this was for outsiders to hear, and I don't know what it will be like.

"Forehead!"

Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law, who was lying on the ground and sobbing softly, paused when she heard this.

My good fellow, it was useless to cry so hard just now, this little Highness didn't understand what he wanted to do at all.

But think about it, such a small child, how can there be so many tricks, crying like this is really not as good as telling the truth.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuu Your Highness!"

Two more sobs, Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law wiped her eyes that were already red from crying.

Just now she was really crying, not pretending. In order to make herself cry for real, she recalled the sadness of the day her man died in her heart, otherwise she really couldn't cry so hard, and couldn't cry so real.

Her natal family only taught her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, knowledge of books and rationality, how to cry and how fast to cry, I really didn't teach her how to cry.

"Your Highness, the woman who came here today wants to beg you..."

However, before she could say anything, the guard on duty came in again, and reported with a strange expression: "Your Highness, the third daughter-in-law of Yan Shenggong asked to see her, and she brought a snack, saying that you have not treated you well when you come here. I specially prepared some snacks for you today."

Zhu Houzhao twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at the begging eldest daughter-in-law, and waved his hands helplessly.

"Let her in!"

Soon, Nian Fang, the third daughter-in-law who became a widow in her 20s, walked in with two maids with graceful steps.

"Minister Kong Zhang, the housewife, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Free gift!"

Zhu Hou took a look at Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law whose eyes were starting to glow, and raised his hand slightly.

The third daughter-in-law, who ignored her sister-in-law, thanked her with a smile, and said with a sweet smile: "His Royal Highness has come to the Kong family these days, and the women have not come to see her. I hope that His Highness will forgive me for being rude."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law again, and blinked.

It seems like you just said that, right?

Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law opened her mouth, turned her head and glared at the third daughter-in-law.

"There is nothing to do today. The woman specially prepared some pastries. I don't know if the amulet suits His Highness's taste. I hope His Highness will not dislike it!"

After speaking, he turned around and took the plate from the servant girl's hand, and put it on the table next to Zhu Houzhao.

"It's not... well, I have to thank my sister-in-law!"

Zhu Houzhao wanted to refuse because he really didn't like sweets, but before he opened his mouth, Kangxi, who was already drooling next to him, leaned his head up, licked his tongue, and the plate was gone.

Zhu Houzhao, who was eating with great relish, pulled his tail back and glared at him viciously.

"The things have also been delivered, if you two have nothing to do..."

"Your Highness!"

The guard came in again, looked at the two women who were kneeling on the ground and the other was standing, and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Yan Shenggong's second daughter-in-law and fourth daughter-in-law asked to see each other, they also brought snacks, and also said that you are here. I didn’t entertain you well here, so I specially prepared some snacks today.”

Zhu Houzhao's eyelids twitched.

There are three women in one drama, and now four of them are here, and they are still sisters-in-law. This is a good show to watch.

"Let them in!"

Zhu Houzhao sat cross-legged on the small couch, waiting for the next big show.

Hearing that the second and fourth children had also come, the fire in the eldest daughter-in-law's eyes could cook a meal.

She was so angry in her heart, these three rambunctious hoofs came here sincerely to make trouble, right?

If they don't come by themselves, they dare to come when they come.

"Minister Kong Wang and Kong Chen are paying their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Two women, one big and one small, came in, and with a maid carrying snacks, they saluted respectfully.

"You two sister-in-laws, please forgive me!"

Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand for a little support, and when the two got up, he pointed to the table.

"Let's leave the snacks there!"

The second girl who was about to speak, her pretty face embarrassed for a moment, she smiled dryly, and waved to the two servant girls to put the snacks on the table.

Looking at the six plates of identical dim sum on the table, Zhu Houzhao secretly patted Kangxi who was licking his lips next to him.

After receiving the signal, Kangxi's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward with his hooves, and ate the snacks with big mouthfuls.

None of the three women had any objection to His Royal Highness feeding the snacks they had prepared to the donkey.

As long as one's own child or husband can take over Yan Shenggong's position, not to mention the snacks, this donkey will be fine for the rest of his life.

"Four sisters-in-law, I think you are not only here to deliver snacks."

Looking at the four women whose eyes were about to spark, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously retracted his legs and sat up straight.

"This…"

The four women who were fighting with each other hesitated for a while when they heard Zhu Houzhao's question.

It's okay for this person to say here, two people can make do with it, but now four of them came at once, it's not easy to open their mouths.

"What, are you okay?"

Seeing the four women looking at each other with some hesitation, Zhu Houzhao became even more curious about what they were going to say.

It's not that Zhu Houzhao's mind is out of order, but that he really can't figure out what the four women want from him.

If it is to discuss the issue of Kong Hongxu's criminal evidence, he should not come to him, let alone these four women.

If it is to discuss Kong Hongtai's funeral, it is even more impossible to find him. The officials of the Ministry of Rites have not left yet, so just look for them.

So he really couldn't figure it out, why did these 4 women ask him?
"Your Highness, can the woman talk to you alone."

The four women stalemate for a while, and finally Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law spoke first.

Although she is the eldest among the four, her strengths are the worst.

His father used to be an important official of the imperial court, but he was implicated in the matter of Concubine Wan Gui. Although the emperor's benevolence did not punish his father, he was dismissed from office.

Moreover, he passed away a few years ago. No one in the family is an official in the court. Compared with the second, third, and fourth family, the advantages are much worse.

Now that she can help her, except for Zhu Houzhao, she can never think of anyone else who can help her.

Although the cabinet bachelor Xie Qian is also in the house, she has nothing to impress the other party, even if she sacrifices herself, let alone whether the other party accepts it or not, even if she accepts it, she is still much worse than the youngest and the third child. , is likely not to be able to compete, so Zhu Houzhao is her only hope.

Talk to yourself alone, it seems that this matter is not small!

Zhu Houzhao glanced at her, and in the pleading eyes of the other party, he was about to agree to hear what was going on first.

The fourth daughter-in-law raised her eyebrows and stood up, saying in a strange way:
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm talking about you, it's just that I want to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to protect my eldest nephew to the position of Lord Yansheng. There's nothing wrong with saying this in front of others, and you have to hide it from others."

"When the eldest brother was alive, we didn't say anything anymore. The principle of inheriting the father's business is applicable everywhere, but now that the eldest brother is gone, you want to directly step over my husband and let the old man pass the position to you. Son, isn't that a bit too much?"

"The son hasn't died yet, how can it be the grandson's turn."

"You, it's better not to make things difficult for His Royal Highness. The son inherits the father's business. This is the rule for thousands of years. Now that the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are gone, the old man is left with our husband, the only seedling. No matter how we arrange , the title of Duke Yansheng should belong to my husband."

Good guy, Zhu Houzhao understood now.

The 4 ladies came one by one, not really coming to see him, but asking him for something.

Kong Hongtai's life is not long, this is something that everyone has already understood.

According to the imperial inheritance system, his son can inherit his title, but the eldest grandson is also the first heir.

What's more, the other party is the fourth son, not the boss, so the chance of getting the title is about the same as that of the eldest grandson.

How the other party's family will be passed on and who will be the head of the family is an internal matter of the Kong family, and the court cannot control this matter.

But to whom the title is given, that is the final decision of the imperial court.

The old man's daughter-in-law, seeing that the old man was dying, was afraid that she would not be able to compete with the surviving fourth brother, so she asked her to come here, hoping that she could help her son succeed to the throne of Duke Yansheng smoothly.

As for the other two daughters-in-law, Zhu Houzhao looked at the two women whom Yan Lu begged for, and understood that these two women also wanted to compete.

Although their chances are very slim, it doesn't mean there is no possibility, just in case they encounter a ghost.

As long as the imperial court takes care of it, even if you are the eldest grandson, you can find a reason to veto it for you.

This is the power of arbitrariness. Who will be Yan Shenggong is completely determined by the court.

"Brother and sister, what you said makes no sense."

Seeing the fourth daughter-in-law fired, the weak eldest daughter-in-law, who was crying and crying just now, stood up abruptly and glared at the fourth daughter-in-law.

"The eldest son and grandson are the foundation of the family inheritance, which is a truth that has not changed through the ages. Not to mention our family, the emperor Taizu also decided that it was inherited by the eldest son and grandson. When Prince Yiwen died of illness, the emperor Taizu... "

Seeing that the girl was talking too much, and even started to talk about the royal family, Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and knocked on the table with a dark face.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the table, and seeing Zhu Houzhao's dark face, Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law broke out in a cold sweat.

When she was angry just now, she even forgot that the crown prince in front of her was the empress of Emperor Taizong.

How did Emperor Taizong become the emperor? It was the throne that his nephew snatched back, and it was the emperor she was about to say.

Promoting the eldest son's succession system in front of the rebellious descendants is not slapping the prince in the face.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's ugly face, Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law fell to the ground, begging for mercy.

"The crown prince atones for the crime, the woman... the woman, it was just a momentary slip of the tongue, please forgive me the crown prince."

"Alright, alright..."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hands impatiently, looked at Yan Shenggong's four daughters-in-law and said, "You are also daughters-in-law. Now that the father-in-law is not dead, you are making such a fuss just to snatch the right of inheritance, what a shame!"

"His Royal Highness, calm down!"

Seeing that the prince was a little angry, the other three daughters-in-law quickly fell to the ground.

"Okay, who will inherit the title of Lord Yansheng in the future, I can't decide this matter, and I can't help you, you should go back!"

Help them, what are you kidding?
It's no good not to mention it first, even if it is good, he won't help.

Compared with gratitude, Zhu Houzhao believed in the black material in his hands.

If Kong Hongxu is disobedient in the future, Zhu Houzhao can directly take away the title of the other party with the evidence in his hands.

In order to obtain the title through hard work, no matter what Zhu Houzhao asks Kong Hongxu to do, Kong Hongxu will do it honestly.

For a top dog, friends and dogs, they would not hesitate to choose a dog.

Because friends will betray, when encountering interest disputes, friends will directly become enemies.

But the dog is different, because the dog does not have his own brain, no thinking of his own, he can only obey the orders of the master.

Once he becomes disobedient one day, the fate he faces will be skinned and eaten by his master.

For the sake of his dog's life, the dog will try his best to do everything well, even if he is scolded by the owner, he will lick his face and wag his tail to beg for mercy, instead of turning his face directly into an enemy like a friend.

Under Liu Jin's cold face, the four women walked out of the room where Zhu Houzhao was resting.

After leaving the small courtyard, they looked back at the closed courtyard door and glared at each other angrily.

Especially Yan Shenggong's eldest daughter-in-law, looking at the triumphant fourth daughter-in-law, her teeth itch with hatred.

Some people, however, just don't know each other.

Seeing the sister-in-law's face flushed with anger, the fourth daughter-in-law sarcastically said: "Sister-in-law, I think you should rest, there are some things you can't fight for, now just give in, and I will be today's boss." Nothing happened."

"Otherwise, hehehe..."

Smiling and laughing, she suddenly thought of something again.

"Xiao Yuan is about to reach the age of Ji. My cousin is hesitant to marry our family. He has a very good son. When my husband inherits the title, I think it's better to find a chance and settle this marriage. , to save you from worrying, sister-in-law."

The eldest daughter-in-law, who was already full of anger, heard that this bitch wanted to marry her only daughter to her stupid nephew. She couldn't suppress the anger in her heart anymore and shouted, "How dare you touch my daughter!" , I will fight with you." He rushed up.

The eldest daughter-in-law suddenly attacked, and the fourth daughter-in-law didn't pay attention, and was thrown to the ground by the other party.

Riding on the opponent's body, the eldest daughter-in-law stretched out her hand, and scratched fiercely at the pretty face of the fourth daughter-in-law.

"Bastard, you bitch dare to hit me, I will fight you."

Not to be outdone, the fourth daughter-in-law resisted the pain on her face and stretched out her hand to grab her too.

Seeing this scene, the second and third daughters-in-law next to her hurried up to pull them away.

However, the maids of the two girls, thinking that they were going to help each other beat their master, rushed forward too.

Good guy, it's lively now, when the other maids saw the eldest and fourth maids rushing up, fearing that their master would suffer, they rushed up too.

8 maids and 4 masters are torn together, hair accessories, clothes and shoes are flying all over the sky.

At such a crazy and exciting scene, the boy scout guards who watched the gate had their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts: It doesn't mean that all the ladies are very knowledgeable and reasonable. The scene in front of them seems to have nothing to do with knowledge and reasonableness.

ps: Something happened at home, the update may not be stable these days, but I will try my best to ensure that it will not be interrupted.

Alas, the new book is better.

The old book is what makes me feel uncomfortable. During this period of time, I wrote the plot of the old man’s death. I wrote it myself for the past two days, and my eyes are moist. I don’t know what will be added today. When I write, my mood will be so sad.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that the book hadn’t ended, and I was afraid that everyone would get bored with the plot of the Yongle period, I really wanted to write another one of the same type. I like the old man’s family so much.
