Xu Xun quickly realized the feeling of being called a cousin by the little emperor. Even though he was a man of three thousand miles a day, even if Zhang Zong said such a serious royal relative, he called the little emperor as if he was showing off his back, and it was a delusion to ask Zhu Houzhao to call him cousin in person. So, when the boat was mooring in Tianjin for a night early in the morning and was about to set off, Zhu Houzhao hurried on board with a few followers. When the stuttering cousin called, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong almost felt something was wrong with his ears, and then all four eyes were staring at Xu Xun.

The next three boats learned that it was Xu Xun's wife's cousin who wanted to take a sailboat and return to Nanjing in a glorious manner. From the bow of the boat, he saw the boy with acne on his face. In addition, he vaguely heard that he was stuttering. Whether it was Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin, Luo Xiang, no one expected that the little emperor would have passed the road.

But before leaving, a group of people suddenly came to the shore, and the emperor from the capital urgently ordered Xu Xun. Even though Liu Jin wanted to go and hear what was going on, he saw the visitor directly boarding the Xu Xun's ship, so he could only let go of his suspicion and could only curse in his heart.

Xu Xun saw the person clearly and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After Huitong solemnly bowed to Xu Xun and Gu Dayong, her eyes turned around. Seeing that there was no one else in the room except for acne-like boy next to Xu Xun's porthole and a treasure he recognized, he presented something with both hands and said, "Marquis Pingbei, Beizhi, is in accordance with the imperial edict of the Queen Mother and the Queen, and send a letter to the Marquis Pingbei. Please give me a reply immediately after reading it. Beizhi can take it back directly."

Just seeing that the Empress Dowager and the Queen actually summoned him to Qionghua Island to talk, he had already vaguely guessed that the little emperor had asked to leave the capital with Xu Xun and others. If this was the case, what about the little ancestor now?

Hearing that his mother and his wife had sent the letter together, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shrink his head and try to make Huitong not see him. However, when the letter reached Xu Xun's hand, he took advantage of the moment when Gu Dayong attracted Huitong's attention for him, he had to quickly walk to Xu Xun. He stood on tiptoe and looked over and read all the contents at once, and then he couldn't help but grin.

The letter from Empress Dowager Zhang was not for Xu Xun to read, but was written directly to him, and scolded him in a slander. He asked him to quickly pick him up and return to Beijing. It was not until the end that he said extremely reluctantly that even if he went, he should not play for too long, go and go back early and return like this. Zhou Qiniang's letter was simpler and more straightforward. The sentence was not disappointed, and don't give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he couldn't help but curl his lips, remembering that Zhou Qiniang liked to teach his past lessons when he was fine. When he saw Huitong's sign of turning back, he hurriedly retreated to the porthole, and looked out guiltily. He made a rule of looking at the scenery seriously.

After reading the letter, Xu Xun realized that Zhu Houzhao had returned to his original position. He took the letter to the table beside him and ordered Abao to polish the ink. He thought and replied carefully. It was naturally inevitable that he apologized for Zhu Houzhao, the little emperor. In addition, there were military support along the way, Chen Lu, Duke of Wei Xu Qi, who was supporting Nanjing, as well as Zheng Qiang, the garrison Zheng Qiang and the former garrison Fu Rong. As for Qiu Ju, who had just been driven away by him and Liu Jin, he didn't even mention it. Finally, he remembered that the letter mentioned by Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhou Qiniang that had invited Xiao Jing to come back. He had already buried this move and breathed a sigh of relief. He had to add a few more words.

"Eunuch Xiao is old and has no people in the ritual supervision department. You can choose the best in the inner book hall to enrich the ritual supervision department. Today, I am away, so I hope the two saints will strictly prohibit the palace to prevent the ulterior motives from leaking the news."

As long as the Silijian replaced a group of new people, and the Liu Jin gang members in the palace cannot contact Liu Yu, Cao Yuan and others outside, it will be difficult for these people to make trouble with this, and Zhang Cai can take advantage of the situation. Of course, Qian Ning and other smart people can't hide them for too long, and he just made a time difference!

Huitong hurriedly turned around with Xu Xun's letter and followed the boat from Tianjin. Zhu Houzhao, who was already worried that Empress Dowager Zhang would force him to pull him back, finally felt relieved. Of course, Huitong did not recognize him, which was undoubtedly a greater encouragement for him. Only Xu Xun knew what the risks of this trip was, and he had to pour a basin of cold water on the little emperor's head.

"Zhong Hui is not familiar with you after all, and he is led away by Lao Gu, otherwise he might not have noticed anything. But if Lao Liu and his team have to pass through, it would probably be harder than climbing the sky. I can say ugly words ahead. If you miss them, you might really have to go home."

Zhu Houzhao had experienced this way of talking in Zhou Qiniang once, but now he heard that it was kind, but Xu Xun almost said that he could not hide it from Liu Jin a few times. The little emperor was immediately a little annoyed. It would be better to provoke him than to ask for the generals. Then, until Linqing's journey, he had been staying in the cabin for half a step, until the boat was docked in Linqing in the evening. When he heard that the eunuch of the Admiral, Shandong and other places, Du Jin, came to pay homage to Xu Xun, and then he appeared.

Last year, Du Jin was not implicated by Li Rong's sad retirement. He was appointed as the admiral of the various Chaoguans in Shandong and was comfortable outside to do his best job. Therefore, the little awkward thing that Xu Xun had had with him when he went to Jing in Linqing that year, he had long regarded it as an extraordinary opportunity. Now he boarded the boat and paid respect to him, and treated Xu Xun as his biological father. When Zhu Houzhao hurried in, he couldn't help but glance at someone.

"Cousin...Cousin, I heard that it's so smooth now, and you'll be able to arrive in Xuzhou in ten days!"

Thinking about Zhu Houzhao's apricot kernel was in his mouth, he couldn't even say a word, but now he was speaking as if he was really stuttering. Not to mention Xu Xun's smile, even Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong could not help but turn their heads and smile. However, Du Jin didn't even frown at the stuttering. Especially when he heard that someone called Xu Xun's cousin, he quickly asked for a smile. When he learned that it was Xu Xun's wife's cousin, he smiled and said, "That's right, the Marquis and the father-in-law are taking good care of it. It's just the right time to walk on the marquis. And the summer tax has been released to Beijing. The Caohe River is not as congested as before. It will be frozen again in a few days. It is the coldest time to take the land route, but the water route is just right. By the way, I am the old man who is taken care of by the Marquis. This is the first time Mr. Zhou has met. Please be sure to keep this gift."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned. Seeing Du Jin smiling and stuffing a piece of mutton fat jade pendant over, he immediately looked at Xu Xun, with a few eyes on his face, like a rusty bun who had never seen the world. Seeing his appearance, Xu Xun finally couldn't help laughing: "Eunuch Du is not an outsider, please keep it."

Du Jin had previously inspected all the cash gates on the entire Caohe River, and now he is the admiral of Jining Linqing and Dezhou cash gates in Shandong. Therefore, Xu Xun had to ask him carefully about the situation in Jiangnan. In front of Xu Xun, Du Jin naturally dared to tell the truth. From the common people who offered real estate to the officials and gentry of the royal palace to the rampant bandits, many villages were robbed of merchants and travelers, and there were even incidents of officials and family members robbing on the canal. They talked a lot until they saw that it was getting late.

When he left, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but breathe a long sigh, and then looked at Xu Xun proudly. Without waiting for anyone to have another chance to attack him, he frowned and said, "Everyone below said that the world is not so peaceful as soon as he came out. The boatmen on the canal worked hard but to make a full meal. The tax collection in the Jiangnan area became a problem, and the bandits were not only in the south of the Ji, and even the Jiangnan area in Nanzhili were many... Not to mention the calamity of officials and Caohe was robbed, which was simply incredible! No wonder the ancients said that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. He really didn't know anything in the palace!"

The great figures of later generations were patrolling around all day long. They were blinded by their subordinates in some matters, not to mention the emperor who could only stay in the palace with strict etiquette and law restrictions.

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's sometimes regret and sometimes indignant words, Xu Xun wanted to say that this was just the tip of the iceberg, but after thinking about it, he simply didn't say much and let the little emperor make more judgments. Until the night was getting deep and Zhu Houzhao had already yawned, he asked Bao to take his people to rest. When these two boys with different identities and situations left the cabin, Gu Dayong, who hadn't spoken just now, couldn't help but yawn, and then said, "Brother Xu, since you have already come to the emperor, what are your plans? Should you tell us?"

"The time has not arrived, so it's not to be said." Xu Xun shook his finger with a smile, then looked at Zhang Yong and said, "It's Lao Zhang, there's something I have to ask you to do. Last year, Wang Shouren was sent to Longchangyi, Guizhou. Maybe you can find an opportunity to advise the emperor and transfer the person back?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yong remembered the friendship with Wang Shouren when he was training the vanguard of the military army in Xiyuan, and the agitated vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the army. Now that he thought about it, it was just a joke. He nodded indifferently and said, "It's just a small matter, it's easy to say it. Looking back, I'll take a look at a loophole to mention it to the emperor. I think that after more than a year, the emperor has stopped caring about it!"

"Then I'll ask you for this."

Xu Xun couldn't help but stretched, and said to the two of them. Without waiting for them to leave, he walked straight to the edge of his couch, and fell straight up without even taking off his shoes. When the creaking sound came from the cabin door, he gently calculated with his fingers, knowing that whether it was in the south of the valley or the northwest, there would be a lot of battles.

The Yellow River was frozen, and Yang Yiqing also faced an unprecedented greatest test. He only hoped that even if he was not as good as Wang Yue back then, he could play the greatest advantage that he had not been able to play in history and overcome the biggest difficulties after returning to Hetao. As for Zhang Zong's words, Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang, all of them said that three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang. He now gave them troops and horses, whether it was a helping hand, he had done his best. In addition, there was such an insider that they could beat Qi Yanming, and they expected that others would make progress. As for the beheading tactics... If it were so easy, the famous generals and generals from ancient and modern times, China and abroad would have been dead long ago!

"I hope everything will come true and let me be free for a few years... I don't know how many people will envy you in the future... God knows how many years I have been thinking of being a playboy..."

ps: Yes, happy new year everyone...
