Chapter 588: The loyalty of the king and the minister

Since he came to this world after a resurrection, Xu Xun knew that there were only a few relatives in his mind. (") Whether it was the Xu family in Taiping, or the Shen family in Yue family, they were not considered true relatives, not to mention the tribesmen of Xing'an Bo Mansion now. Even Xu Bian was just a stranger with a blood relationship in his opinion. As for the real relatives, his father Xu Liang and his wife Chen Yue, even if they count Ruisheng in the palace, there were only four in total, not even a slap.

It seems to be free and easy, but in today's social circle based on relatives and expanding with fellow villagers in the same year, his core circle seems very narrow. It is undeniable that although the path of marriage has proved that since ancient times, it is not a one-time solution, it is the best way to strengthen the relationship between each other.

At this moment, it was already dawn and it was time to get up. However, he rarely did not get up from the bed, but was still lying there looking at the tent above his head, frowned thoughtfully. When he noticed that a hand suddenly pressed his eyebrows, he turned his head, but found that his wife beside him had woken up at some point and was staring at him.

"Why don't you sleep for a while?"

Hearing the warmth and doting in this tone, Chen Yue couldn't help but give her husband a blank look, and then said softly: "I've woken up a long time ago, it depends on when you realize it. As a result, you've been in a daze for a long time! When I came back the night before yesterday, you were in a good mood and have been happy these days. Why are you just so worried now? What happened again?"

"It's okay, I just thought, I had pity that I don't have younger brothers and sisters, and my only child hasn't been born yet, otherwise I really wouldn't want to be cheaper for others."

"What are you afraid of getting cheaper for others?"

"The two brothers of the Cao family are both talents. I thought that if I could teach such a son, my daughter would not be much short of apart. If I had a younger brother or sister, whether I wanted the Cao family's daughter to be my sister-in-law or marry my sister to the second child of the Cao family, it would be a good choice. How could it be cheaper? Zhang Zong said this brat?"

Puchi-

Chen Yue finally couldn't help it, and twisted Xu Xun's arm hard, then said angrily: "How can you be like you? It's not enough to see people coming by you, and you want to pull them home directly? If you are not a good man, you must be a good husband, and a good girl is a good wife. Fortunately, you don't have younger brothers and sisters, otherwise they will be plotted to death by you!"

"Didn't I say this?"

Xu Xun said, then sat up, turned his head and tucked the quilt for Chen Yue. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, then supported the bed and said softly: "Prepare your body well at home, don't be too arrogant. I'll wait for you to give birth to ten eight daughters for me, and it will be enough for me to attract talents and talents in the world in the future!"

"I gave birth to you a big head ghost, but I gave birth to you ten or eight sons!"

Chen Yue picked up the pillow beside her and wanted to throw it away Xu Xun. Seeing that the person had already rushed out of bed quickly, she pulled her shoes and took off her clothes and went to the outside room. She then put down the heavy pillow in her hand, but she couldn't sleep any longer. The ex-Hing'an Boss Xu Sheng had no son, and the title fell into the hands of the side branch. Now her father-in-law Xu Liang made up his mind to keep her deceased mother-in-law for the rest of her life, so her child was particularly important. She didn't know if she could give birth to ten or eight for Xu Xun, but now this one must be born safely!

Thinking of this, when Ruyi lifted the curtain and came in from outside, she waved her hand to signal her to come, and then whispered: "Let's go back and send the two mothers to invite the wife of Wei, and go to the Zhong family to meet her godmother. If she can, please ask her to come and see me. I have something to say to her. "Also, take out the new prescription prescribed by the Imperial Hospital yesterday, and let me take it out and have you read it carefully, so that you can't make any mistakes."

Xu Xun naturally didn't know that his wife had a very careful thought because of his words. On that morning, before he could go out, a small eunuch came to the palace, saying that it was summoned by the emperor. Although this kind of thing had not been ten times a month or eight times, he still couldn't neglect it. After changing his outfit, he hurried to the palace.

This summoning was not in Xiyuan, nor in Wenhua Hall, but in the rare Ganqing Palace. When Xu Xun followed the eunuch who led the way into the Dongnuan Pavilion, he saw not only Zhu Houzhao, the little emperor, but also Empress Dowager Zhang, and the couple of Shouning Marquis were there. In front of the Empress Dowager and his son, Mrs. Shouning Marquis was very cautious, and Shouning Marquis gave him a wink.

There have always been few men who can drive in this important place of the Forbidden Palace, even the chief minister of the cabinet is not good. Therefore, Xu Xun had surpassed all civil and military ministers by entering and leaving the palace at any time, and even Zhang Heling, a serious relative, was not as good as him. Zhang Heling was about to enter the palace this morning, but he was asked to report outside Xihua Gate, which took half an hour to come in.

"Xu Xun, the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Shouning said, "You said that the daughter of Cao Xiong, the general of Guyuan, is good?" Zhu Houzhao deliberately twisted her head to exaggerate, and blinked at Xu Xun twice. "My mother doesn't know much about the Cao family, so she summons you to ask."

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care about Zhu Houzhao and sold herself. As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, she asked solemnly: "I heard that Cao Xiong is from the Zuowei of Xi'an, with two sons and one daughter under his knees. Both sons are now under your command?"

"Yes, Cao Xiong was promoted to the deputy commander of the Guyuan Army, but in his early years he was highly valued as the commander of the superiors. He was proud of his wife. He later made many military achievements. He was promoted to the assistant commander of the commander at the age of fifty years old and was deputy general of Yansui. This time, because Yang Yiqing, the governor of Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu, he was promoted to the assistant commander of the governor and the general of Guyuan. His eldest son Cao Qian, who was once a member of Yang Yiqing, had a scholarly reputation. He had made contributions in investigating the north of the Seibei region and had just been promoted to the Qianzheng General of the Left Office of the 12th Regiment. His second son Cao Mi, who had previously discovered the traitor Wang Xi, who had been treacherous in the palace, was promoted to the Qianzheng of the vanguard of the palace by the emperor. He was now in charge of the military intelligence bureau of the government army and was working as a grandfather."

This sentence was more detailed than Zhang Heling. Although the Empress Dowager Zhang felt that the Cao family was not a family with deep foundation, the father and son were both knowledgeable. The second son Cao Mi even defeated the heroes of Zheng Wang and Wang Xi's case in one fell swoop. She agreed in her heart. After pondering for a moment, she asked again: "Shouning Hou said that he had already matched the eight characters, and the two were just compatible. But I don't know what kind of personality and appearance of the Cao family girl, but it was not easy to make a decision in a hasty way. Besides, it was a bit far from marrying from Xi'an to the capital."

"Reported to the Empress Dowager, Cao Mi entered the vanguard of the government army because he lived in his uncle's house in the capital. He came to apply by chance, so the Cao family has an industry in the capital." After saying this, seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang had a satisfied expression, Xu Xuncai slowly spoke, "As for the personality and appearance of the Cao family, the Cao family can come to Beijing. Now their family is in Guyuan, and their two sons are sent by me to run around the world. It is difficult for the mother and daughter to stay in Xi'an. It is better to move to the capital, so that at least the other four people in the family can be reunited."

"This matter is easy to deal with. I will issue an order to let the Cao family and his daughter come to Beijing to live." Zhu Houzhao suddenly said this, but then he felt that things were inappropriate. He shook his head again, "It's better for Xu Xun, you ask Cao Qian to write a letter to let his mother and sister come to Beijing. I think this marriage is very good. Both the Cao family brothers are handsome and handsome, and the sisters must be pretty good. When they go to the capital, you can see the Madam Shouning Hou, and you want to see it. Just hurry up and settle down. If you miss this village, there will be no store."

The little emperor said something familiar. Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang had already glared at him, he quickly coughed and said seriously: "In short, if this marriage is done, it is really a match made by heaven. Marquis of Shouning and Mrs. Marquis of Shouning go back to consider it, and choose a few days..."

After hearing that Zhu Houzhao even made a choice of days, Empress Dowager Zhang finally couldn't help but interrupt him: "Heling, marrying a daughter is not as good as marrying a daughter, all the preparations should be prepared. (") In addition, after all, it is a marriage in-laws, so I should also inquire about the matters of the Cao family. Don't just think about the future of his official reputation, and ask more about the daily life of people, dealing with people, and dealing with people, and it is better to have nothing than to be too bad."

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang also realized that she had used the last idiom wrong, and immediately took it over again. This time she looked at what Xu Xun said: "Xu Xun, the emperor is in the palace and is not so careful about external affairs. If this time the matter is done, I will not forget your contribution. You should also pay more attention to the children of Marquis Jianchang, who are a few years younger than the emperor, but they are almost old. Now that they have preparations, they will not be impatient and frivolous in the future."

What's going on? Is he a professional matchmaker?

Xu Xun opened his eyes wide, and it was obvious that Empress Dowager Zhang's face was full of unquestionableness. Even if he was helpless, he could only reluctantly agree. Soon, Empress Dowager Zhang stood up, and Xu Xun hurriedly saluted with the Hou Hou and his wife. Who knew that when Empress Dowager Zhang passed by him, she opened her mouth and said something lightly.

"The emperor does things regardless of consequences, and everyone around him is also virtuous. However, you are more reliable at a young age. Those who are capable work harder and you should work harder!"

This kind of thing can also be attributed to the four words "more labor" by those who are capable?

When Empress Dowager Zhang left, the Hou Hou of Shouning naturally also surrendered together. Seeing that Xu Xun was the only one left, Zhu Houzhao immediately pressed her chest and let out a long sigh. Then she looked at Xu Xun with lingering fear and said, "I have heard what my mother said to you. I have done this kind of thing once and I don't want to do it anymore. It's thankless. Jingxuan thought that her man was the best in the world. Not to mention you, even I can't compare with me, but after getting married, she complained from time to time. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise my mother would be in trouble if she asks me to do this kind of thing in the future. "

"Your Majesty, don't mention it. I am not an idle person who has nothing to do. How can I do such a thing?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can be harmonious and beautiful in this marriage, you have to do it if you don't want to do it in the future!" After blocking Xu Xun rudely, Zhu Houzhao then coughed lightly, "I told my mother that the wedding date is set in August, so some things must be torn apart, otherwise if you drag it down, the Ministry of Rites will have to be whispered. It is better to choose a day to meet, so you can accompany me for a while."

Seeing Xu Xun as he was stunned and pointed at his nose with incredible expression, Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "That's right, you are talking about you! I think of the person you helped me meet and later helped me to fulfill my lies. How could you not come forward this time? You have to be kind to you, don't forget how your wife married, and you can have a good life without me? Even if you forget the past, I have any good things but I have never forgotten you, you have to be loyal!"

Before he could say a word, he was slapped in such a group by Zhu Houzhao. Xu Xun had to accept his fate dejectedly. After changing his clothes and leaving the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and ordered not to use the imperial carriage. In this cold weather, the king and his minister walked towards Xihuamen in a car. Not long after walking, Xu Xun suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, after a while, I plan to patrol the northwest along the Xuanfu Datong."

Before Zhu Houzhao could react, he strengthened his tone and said, "I have thought about it over and over again. Now that Yang Yiqing is asking to build a border wall in a critical place, I want to see how the progress of the journey is, how the Tartars invade, and escort the eunuchs before. The emperor had mentioned the border patrols before, and it was afraid that it would be difficult within two or three years, so I am willing to take a look first as the emperor's eyes. In addition, the steps of the big unification of the little prince outside the border are moving forward, and the spies set up by me are far from enough, so I also want to discuss with several generals and Yang Yiqing."

After the initial shock and anger, Zhu Houzhao finally calmed down. He glared at Xu Xun fiercely, and he snorted: "Fortunately you have found many reasons, otherwise you would have stopped me from that trip last winter, but now you have to go by yourself. I have to turn against you... Forget it, Grand Secretary Yang, who taught me before, told me that a son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. It does not mean that people with high status must not take risks, but should put themselves in their shoes. For example, if there is any risk, the relatives and relatives in the family, the wife and children, and the old and young, will lose their pillars, even if it is a wealthy family, they may have to cause great things. The so-called parents are here, not traveling far away, and the father is not here, I can't leave my mother, let alone worry her."

Seeing Xu Xun as if he was relieved, Zhu Houzhao suddenly changed his mind and said, "Since you are in a state of mind, I am sure of your affairs, but since you have gone, you have to fight me with a good battle. What kind of mountain, river, geographical and military force configurations, I will have to compare with you all the time after I come back... Speaking of this, I forgot, what about the chart you mentioned before?"

"I have asked Zhang Cai to write a letter to ask about Ma Wensheng." Seeing that Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows in confusion, he took the initiative to explain what Xiao Jing said, but Zhu Houzhao's face turned dark immediately.

"I have said before that these old men are more cunning than the other, and they can actually come up with such a way!" Thinking of his father's most trust in Liu Daxia that day. In addition to the court meeting, the cabinet ministers had not been able to see the saint for many years. However, Liu Daxia was often summoned. He couldn't help but sneer again, "Wang Zhi is not good, but the Jungle was defeated by Laos at that time, and he wanted to retake the Jungle Old Place again. At that time, it was indeed an opportunity. They all day long, others were fighting for credit and were timid! I think of which dynasty or generation was not founding the country and sweeping the world with their military and horses, but not long after, they were either chaotic people or powerful ministers, or those barbarians were destroyed. After all, the army has not fought and raised so many people every day, and it has been ruined!"

"The emperor said it is right. During the Yongle period, there were many wars, and Xia Yuanji and others were cooking grain storage, so they would not be able to move. However, in the southwest, they fought against Jiaozhi and went north for five consecutive expeditions. The treasure ships went to the West. These were all spent money one by one, but they did not make much money. Therefore, they only went to the West once during the Xuande period and then closed the seas. Jiaozhi finally abandoned them, and even had few great achievements in the north since then.

Even Wang Yue, who was a governor of the three sides during the Chenghua period, had been impeached by Wang Zhi and Li Guang for his friendship, and even removed from his title due to Wang Zhi and was repeatedly arrested for Li Guang. Almost no one said a fair word. It was like Tang Yin and Xu Jing's false charge of the imperial examination fraud. If the emperor had not returned them justice, wouldn't they have been stigmatized for the rest of their lives? Most civil officials in the court often had a sense of fear of people like Wang Yue, because they were not of the same kind!"

Xu Xun felt a pity about Wang Yue, who was once expelled from his title after his military achievements. In the past few years, in addition to the heroes at the beginning of the founding of the country, civil officials who received titles with their martial arts were Wang Yue in front and Wang Shouren in the back. Among them, Wang Shouren took the first thing that Wang Shouren took after being an official was to build a tomb for Wang Yue. This was really a matter of drinking and pecking, and he had a decisive decisive deed. Regarding Wang Yue's magnificent lifelong achievements that were not tolerated by people at that time, Zhang Cai told him about the figures of the previous dynasty, he was sorry for it several times.

Although Zhu Houzhao had lecturers and officials every day, those people, except for the classics, were sages and wise rulers from ancient times to the present, but no one dared to speak so explicitly. Even Yang Tinghe, who was good at understanding his thoughts, would at most stop talking, so why was he so sharp? Therefore, seeing that the Xihua Gate was about to be imminent, he couldn't help but nod and said, "You are right, goats and tigers are not the same as the same kind!"

On the way, both the king and the ministers remained silent. Ruisheng, who was following behind, looked at the situation, which was quite strange, but he did not dare to say anything. It was not until he saw Taiye Chi from afar that Zhu Houzhao blew and said with a long sigh: "I have also heard from Grand Secretary Yang that Wang Yue rose up because of Wang Zhi, and he was favored because of Wang Zhi. He borrowed Li Guang and then stood up again. As a result, he was conquered because of Li Guang. Even if there was any mistake, his military achievements could be greatly reduced. There were officials in the court who had not made any achievements but were promoted all the way. Why could he not tolerate him? If it weren't for the unfairness of the ministers, how could he have made great contributions and rewarded him so that he could have led his army to fight in the front and shed blood and tears?"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had actually brought out his words, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel a resonance in his heart. But immediately afterwards, he thought that Zhu Houzhao and Chen repeatedly mentioned Grand Secretary Yang twice, and he asked curiously: "The Grand Secretary Yang in the emperor's mouth is..."

"It's Yang Tinghe, a Grand Secretary of Zuo Chunfang, who was the deputy chief examiner of the previous subject. He has always been an official of the Eastern Palace and has taught me a lot of lessons. In addition to the current chief assistant Li Dongyang, he is a good class, at least he didn't copy the lecture notes of the saints. When talking about the figures in this dynasty, he was more fair than others."

Yang Tinghe... Two years ago, during the 18th year of Hongzhi, he set up a trap. I heard that the one who insisted on not taking Jiao Fang's son Jiao Huangzhang was the deputy chief examiner Yang Tinghe!

When Xu Xun saw Zhu Houzhao mentioning this person, he looked quite satisfied and secretly wrote it down in his heart. When Taisu Palace was looking at him, he suddenly remembered something, and stopped and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "What will the emperor be going to say later?"

"If I know, I don't have to look for you, Zhiduoxing!" Zhu Houzhao snorted unhappy. Seeing Xu Xun being shocked, he coughed dryly and said, "I originally planned to discuss with you on the way, but I forgot who told you to tell me about military and national affairs along the way. It's not too late now. Please help me think about it quickly, how can I mention this?"

The little emperor knew that such a difficult thing was pushed directly to him!

The king and his minister stared at each other for a long time, but in the end, Xu Xun was helplessly defeated due to the dual factors of identity and momentum. Seeing a team of soldiers standing at the gate of Taisu Palace, he stared at the other side for a while, and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, the guardians at the gate of Taisu Palace should be the avant-garde of the government army, right?"

"Yes, otherwise what if someone comes out to wander around and gets out of trouble? You know that I spend half of my time in the West Garden every day, and Taisu Palace also goes to the Taisu Palace every day." Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao sighed again and said with a depressed look on his face, "If you want to say that the seventh sister is too muted, and the mother has seen her several times, she should have noticed that something is wrong, but she always treats me as a child and asks her for being lazy and slick, for fear that my father-in-law will be blamed for being lazy and slick."

Xu Xun was so funny that he was seen by Zhu Houzhao's words that the little emperor stared at him hard. He had to stop smiling. After pondering slightly, he said, "Although I'm not sure, I can only get tough now... but I have to say something first. If something happens later, the emperor should not blame me."

When Zhu Houzhao was stunned, she found that Xu Xun had left him and went straight forward. When he woke up and realized what Xu Xun's words meant, his expression changed drastically in an instant - this kid would not be ready to rush straight to Zhou Qiniang, and then said Xiao Zhu was the emperor of the current Ming Dynasty, and then patted his butt and left? If so, why did he look for this kid to do?

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao immediately rushed towards the people in front of him. However, Xu Xun was extremely fast. When he wanted to understand how to start chasing, the person had already reached the door of Taisu Palace. Seeing that the two guards were about to let people in, he could only shout loudly: "Stop him, stop him quickly!"

As soon as he spoke, Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that the people who came here to visit were all elites selected from the avant-garde of the government army. How could he stop Xu Xun, the chief seal officer? Therefore, when he saw the two guards stunned and did not stop Xu Xun at all, he couldn't help but shouted in anger: "Stop him quickly, otherwise I want you to look good!"
