Idle courtiers

Chapter 514 Little Zhu
Xiyuan, on the upper floor of Xinhua Gate, in a room on the third floor.

The window was wide open, and the cold wind kept pouring in with snowflakes, which made the faces of the two Jinyiwei Hundred Families pale.Even though they were wearing thick padded jackets, they subconsciously leaned towards the front fire.

Icicles had already formed on the eaves, shining brightly in the lights.

"Are you cold?" Zhu Lun was rummaging in the pot with his chopsticks.

There is a steaming soup pot on the stove, with golden meat pieces and sorghum rice in it.

The oil and water on the meat have soaked the sorghum rice, and sprinkled with large salt particles, the tangy aroma reverberates in the room with the heat.

Unlike the two subordinates, little Zhu Xianggong was eating his way through the alley, with a layer of sweat hanging from the tip of his nose.He was wearing only a bullfighting suit, and he was handsome and straight now.

A family dressed in brocade clothes smiled wryly: "If we go back to Zhenfu, we really can't bear it. After all, at that age, how can we compare with Zhenfu's dragon and tiger?"

Zhu Lun laughed loudly: "I'm already in my 30s, and I'm talking about how powerful and powerful I am. We are not made of steel and iron. You are cold, and I am as cold. But as a soldier, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of the cold." ? Thinking about 20 years ago, when I was conquering Annan with Mao Shangshu, it was so cold that day, it was really terribly cold, and I shivered all night, didn’t I survive?”

Another Jinyiwei officer asked curiously: "The governor also conquered Annan? It's strange. I heard people say that Annan has a long summer without winter, so why is it still cold?"

Zhu Lun: "What do you know, Annan's place is weird. In broad daylight, it's so hot that you want to peel off your skin. But it's cold at night, and when it rains and your body gets wet, it's bad. It's a crime. How many hard-boned men died in the south because of being frozen, and turned into a pile of bones. Hey, what a tragedy!"

Speaking of this, he sighed and chanted: "The general Nanzheng is courageous, with the autumn water and the wild goose feather sword on his waist. The wind blows the drums, the mountains and rivers move, and the lightning flashes. The sun and the moon are high. There is a kind of unicorn in the sky. Escape. On the day of Taiping's return, I will untie my war robes with my husband."

"Others only see the glory of the soldiers who returned from victory, but who remembers the brother Paoze who died in the Southern Kingdom? In that battle, our Jinyi army sent [-] spies, and only eleven returned. Highest among all armies."

Tears welled up in Zhu Lun's eyes, he took a big gulp of wine, and ate another chunk of meat.He suddenly laughed and said: "This meat tastes good, I really didn't know what it was?" When talking about war, the shy little Mr. Zhu suddenly seemed to be a different person.

A hundred households in Jinyi smiled and said: "It's a marmot. Doesn't our Jinyiwei have a house of thousands of households in Minzhouwei? That place is too remote, it's almost barren and wild. They are boring to stay there, and the previous round of hunting happened to copy it." In a pasture, more than 100 marmots were killed. Ten living ones were selected and sent to the capital in iron cages. This is a rare animal, very fat."

Zhu Lun: "Isn't this just a ground mouse, and mice can eat it too?"

As he spoke, the wind subsided.

There are faint lights flickering in the distance, it looks like a long dragon, there are footsteps, and the heart is startled in the dark night.

The expressions of the two Jinyiwei officers changed at the same time: "Zhenfu, a group of troops is coming, it seems to be heading for Xiyuan!"

Zhu Lun reached out and wiped the otter oil on his short beard, and took another sip of wine: "Why panic, just be on guard."

Two officers hurriedly stood behind the window and shouted to the people below: "Come in, and close the gate!"

Zhu Lun: "No, what are you afraid of? Will there be rebellion?"

The two officers looked at each other: "Zhenfu..."

"Don't be afraid, don't mess up, as usual."

The two officers couldn't stay any longer, and ran downstairs in a hurry.

Zhu Lun still held the wine glass and drank one sip after another.

Even though they said so, the two officers still didn't dare to be careless.Immediately after going downstairs, all the troops were gathered, rushed out of the Xinhuamen, and lined up to wait.

In a short while, the team with torches came over.

Seeing the situation in front of them, the vests of the two officers were covered with sweat.However, all the visitors were fully armed, including Jin Yiwei and eunuchs.

A hundred households stepped forward and shouted: "Stop, don't look at where this is, come here in the middle of the night, do you want to rebel? Who will lead the team today and come out to speak."

A big green sedan chair came forward and stopped in the open space between the two sides.

Chen Hong walked down from above, with a cold face: "It's me."

Baihu Junguan was startled, and bowed his hands to salute: "It turns out to be Mr. Chen, what orders do you have?"

Chen Hong: "Withdraw all your troops, open the gate and let our house in."

Baihu: "Father-in-law can go in, but it's against the rules for you to bring so many people in."

Chen Hong thought in his heart, I went in alone, our family couldn't carry it on our shoulders, and our hands couldn't restrain the chicken.I don't know what's going on inside, but if I really went in, wouldn't it be a knife and a fish for me?

He sneered and said, "Stop talking nonsense and open the door, otherwise don't blame our family for being rude."

Officer of Hundred Households: "Eunuch Chen, you are an old man in charge of ceremonies, and you must know the rules in the palace. It is said that there is a curfew in Xiyuan now, and even you cannot enter without the emperor's edict. However, considering your It's His Majesty's thigh, so it's okay to go in. But other people can't, so I asked my father-in-law, why do you want to bring so many men with weapons in?"

Chen Hong: "Our family wants to go in, of course there are reasons for our family, so you say let it go?" After finishing speaking, he slapped him across the face.

With a "pop", it exploded in the dark night.

The hundred households had seen Chen Hong's power, but they were afraid in their hearts, and couldn't help but backed up two steps, covering their faces and remaining silent.

Chen Hong shouted to his subordinates: "Go, go in, our family is at the forefront, let's see who dares to block."

The team moved forward step by step.

The brocade guards retreated step by step.

Seeing that this scene was about to be controlled by Chen Hong, he suddenly let out a long laugh: "Eunuch Chen, what are you doing?"

It was Zhu Lun who made the laugh. He had already gone downstairs at some point, his thin body standing tall and straight like a green pine in the cold wind.

Seeing Zhu Lun, Chen Hong heaved a sigh of relief, this is his own: "Little Mr. Zhu, I have something urgent to meet Sheng, and you will go to Yuxi Palace with our family later."

Julien: "Yeah!"

Chen Hong was overjoyed, and waved to the men behind him: "Let's go!"

Suddenly, Zhu Lun stretched out his hand toward him: "Here."

Chen Hong: "What do you bring?"

Zhu Lun said indifferently: "Mr. Chen is the supervisor of ceremonies, and if there is an urgent military and state matter, it is fine. But if you have so many people under your command to enter the palace, you must have a letter from the Ministry of War."

"Decree from the Ministry of War, Xiao Zhu, what do you mean?" Chen Hong's pupils shrank.

Zhu Lun said with a smile: "Eunuch Chen is not unaware, right? He privately mobilized a team of more than a hundred people. If there is no order from the Ministry of War, it will be regarded as treason, and the troops stationed in various places can kill them on the spot. What's more, Eunuch is bringing troops into the palace. "

Chen Hong; "You..."

Zhu Lun was still smiling: "Eunuch Chen, do you want me to accompany you in alone, or go back?"
