"Xiao Jing, take the prince out for a break."

The candle tip next to the imperial bed shone on Emperor Hongzhi's face, making the emperor's face look even more dim.

After saying this, seeing Zhu Houzhao's reluctance, he immediately lowered his face and said, "It's now, you are still unwilling to listen to me? I only have you, one son. If you fail, what will you do if you ask your mother?"

Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to argue a few more words, but facing Emperor Hongzhi's angry eyes, he had to lower his head and responded: "Father, don't be angry, I will listen to you... Take a rest, if you have anything to do, just ask someone to summon me."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao turn around and exit the Western Warehouse Pavilion, Xiao Jing immediately followed him out. Xu Xun was about to speak, but Emperor Hongzhi pointed at Zhang He again.

"Zhang Yong, go outside and watch. Even if the queen and prince are not allowed to come in without my instructions. As for the others, no matter what excuse they are approaching here, you will remember your names and turn your hair back!"

Xu Xun never expected that Emperor Hongzhi would even hold Zhang Yong back. When he followed the emperor's instructions, he took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee on the pedal in front of the bed, but found that the emperor was sitting upright with his hands. Because there was no one to serve him, he almost instinctively took a pillow and placed it under Emperor Hongzhi's waist, and then took a step back half a step.

"I know why I saw you at this time?"

Seeing Xu Xun shook his head, Emperor Hongzhi sneered and said lightly: "Since I ascended the foundation, I have been governing all directions, but apart from the court meeting, I rarely see foreign ministers. The ministers I have met in Wenhua Palace for so many years are also known to the generals. You are a little older than the prince, and there is nothing very outstanding about anything else, but I have seen you several times because the prince is close to you. In addition to your courage and meticulousness, you are polite and strategy, and you are still sincere. This is what I expect. As for the time you have trapped yourself in the prison, it was my will, so after thinking about it, I gave you the word "王子". As for asking you to write a letter to apologize... I originally planned to let you go to work outside, but I didn't expect..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the tent above his head and remembered that he had been sleeping for two hours after seeing the three cabinet ministers before. Empress Zhang and Zhu Houzhao were not panicked. He couldn't help feeling extremely heavy. He wanted to use such a small cold to push Zhu Houzhao to the court to try what it would be like to hold the government's balance, but if he really had something to do, he would leave too little preparations for his wife and children, so few that he felt uneasy and afraid when he thought about it.

"emperor……"

Although Xu Xun should say something like Mingganwu according to the rules, he looked at the emperor in front of him and felt a little choked in his throat. He felt that he couldn't tell what it was. However, the next moment, he felt a hand pressing heavily on his shoulders.

"But this is not the reason for me to summon you tonight!" Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and Shi Potian said in shock, "Even if you don't give up your external responsibilities, I planned to make you calmly train your 2,000 vanguards, but now you don't have the time to wait for them to train them into an army. I gave you the tiger talisman arrows to mobilize troops. You can go to the 12th Regiment Battalion, and transfer five hundred vanguards and cards from the 3,000 vanguards in the Shenji Camp to Beijing. All the thousands of families with the army remain in the 12th Regiment Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Battalion Bat

Hearing such an order, Xu Xun's already heavy heart couldn't help but sink even further

You know, no matter how you hear Emperor Hongzhi's words, it seems to be like explaining the funeral. But since the emperor just woke up and spoke, his order has always been very clear. Although he is haggard and thin, how could he really be so stubborn?

But at this critical moment, he could not think too much, so he could only take the order immediately, but then he looked up and asked softly: "Master, how should these people be placed when they are brought back? It should be noted that in addition to the official army that took turns to join the army, the inner city has always been under the jurisdiction of the Warriors Camp of the Imperial Horse Supervision and the Fourth Guards Camp. If ordinary people see that the 12th Regiment Battalion enter the city, they will probably have rumors suddenly..."

"There can't be any rumor." Emperor Hongzhi interrupted Xu Xun's words, and then looked at him and said word by word, "My illness will not be cured in a short time, so from tomorrow, it will be the crown prince's reign. Do you understand?"

Seeing Xu Xun's stunned look, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "The Marquis of Shouning had asked his wife to pass the queen and report to you to help the prince. If you can think of doing this, I will naturally trust you. The Royal Horse Supervisor's personal army should not be moved lightly. Miao Kui was promoted to this position by me. Of course, it is trustworthy, but the prince's supervisor's country, and the person who can trust the prince will definitely be more confident. But you were just talking about war on paper before. Now when doing this, the important thing is not to make mistakes. Do you understand?"

At this moment, Xu Xun finally understood the painstaking efforts of Emperor Hongzhi to protect Zhu Houzhao. As a son, even if he could not empathize with this kind of fatherly love of the emperor, he felt a heartfelt touch. So, after taking a deep breath, he immediately responded: "Don't worry, your elders, I will do my best and never dare to be lazy!"

"Okay!" Emperor Hongzhi took out something from under the pillow, handed it to Xu Xun solemnly, and instructed, "This is what I asked Xiao Jing to come to Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War. I will ask Xiao Jing to write it to you, but you need to remember that letting you lead the army is to prevent trouble, not for anything else! As for your crime, I will send Ye Guang the imperial edict to close the case without any evidence!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Next, Emperor Hongzhi made another piece of advice, and he would take everything from detail. Although Xu Xun always felt that the emperor could not seem to be terminally ill, these words were too ominous, so he felt very heavy in his heart. Only after the emperor ordered him to withdraw from the Western Nuan Pavilion did he barely get rid of the lingering feeling. The next moment, he saw Zhu Houzhao walking over Zhang Yong with a angrily look. There was a beautiful man in the palace dress behind him. He looked at his early thirties, but he didn't apply powder but was extremely even. Only then did he see him, the tired look immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by grace and majesty.

"Xu Xun, what did the father say to you?"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's anxious appearance, Xu Xun quickly coughed and said, "Empress, Your Highness, the emperor just asked me to come out, if you two come, please come in immediately."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Houzhao immediately forgot to pursue what his father had ordered to Xu Xun, and rushed into the Xihun Pavilion without saying a word. Queen Zhang was not as anxious as him. Although she almost never saw a foreign minister, she still looked at Xu Xun carefully for a while before nodding and said, "Huzhao mentioned you many times, she is good-minded, smart and wise, and is a rare talent. You were framed before, and the emperor had to imprison you according to herds. Now that she has come out, she should do her best to serve you in the future."

"Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions."

Seeing Xu Xun saluting deeply, Empress Zhang signaled the female official to lift the curtains and hurried into the West Warehouse. After all the people came in, Xu Xun stepped forward and looked at Zhang Yongjun, then bowed to Xiao Jing and said, "Eunuch Xiao, according to the emperor's instructions, you gave me a warrant. Eunuch Zhang and I are leaving the city to go to the 12th Regiment Camp. But it's too late now. How many people may you send us out?"

It was not too early at this moment. Xiao Jing glanced at the copper pot Taolu next to him, and nodded after pondering: "Yes, it's not too late at this moment. Whether it's the palace gate or the city gate, it's not that easy to enter or exit.

I asked Sun Bin to give you it, otherwise even if you were ordered by the Holy One, it would not be so easy to do things at the 12th Regiment Battalion. He was the literati supervisor and had done several tolerances there, so he could barely be familiar with the superiors and subordinates."

Although Zhang Yong had pricked his ears outside the door and listened carefully, Emperor Hongzhi's voice was very low. The emperor was infected with the cold and the originally ventilated bamboo curtain was replaced with a thick cotton curtain. He could only vaguely hear a few words. After leaving Bei'anmen, Sun Bin went there to greet the carriage, and he took the time to explain to Zhang Yong the purpose of going to the 12th Regiment Camp.

"The emperor is really to the prince

…”

Even though Zhang Yong followed Zhu Houzhao for many years, he still had a slightly red eye when he learned about the inside story. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I just hope that the prince can understand the emperor's painstaking efforts and live up to his high hopes. Alas, let's leave quickly. Now the chief executive is Zhang Mao, the British Duke, who is old and cannot stay in the 12th Regiment Camp at all times. He should be at home now, but he cannot avoid such a big thing. For the sake of safety, I will send you a tour of the British park of Iron Lion Hutong."

While speaking, Sun Bin had already rushed over, and he was sitting upright in the coachman's seat. Seeing Xu Xun being slightly stunned, he jumped down and opened the car door and opened the curtain to signal the two of them to get in the car. He said bluntly: "The ancestors have ordered that things are very different. The fewer people in a mess know, the better, so he arranged these things. I just felt wronged that Mr. Xu, you continue wearing this outfit. After all, British parks are not as good as other places, so it is really difficult to enter."

Of course Xu Xun knew what Sun Bin meant. British Duke Zhang Mao was the youngest son of British Duke Zhang Fu, and his previous brother had long passed away. Therefore, after Zhang Fu died in Tumu Fort in battle, he ascended the duke at the age of nine. Whether in the four dynasties of Shun Chenghua, Jingtai, they were all highly favored, and were also the first among the nobles according to their seniority. At this moment, he and Zhang Yong got on the carriage one after another. Although the carriage was extremely bumpy and the driving journey was very long, it was worrying, but he was not sleepy at all.

I don’t know how long I had been driving, but the carriage suddenly stopped. At first, Sun Bin from outside said softly that it had arrived. Xu Xun couldn’t help but open the curtains and saw that the carriage was parked outside a corner door, and three or five golden lacquer doors were closed not far away. Four lanterns with the words "The British Duke's Mansion" were hung in front of them. As Sun Bin knocked on the West Corner Gate, a response came soon inside.

"It's so late, who's it!"

"Please go and report that our lie supervisor Sun Hong is ordered to come to see the Duke of England!"
