Chapter 245: Crazy King Zhao

When Hao Fenglou saw the visitor, he was furious and scolded: "Bold, how dare you make a fuss about me and blind your eyes. Are you afraid of your life?"

The person who came laughed and said, "I didn't have my eyes blind, but I even recognized you, the guy named Hao."

Hao Fenglou rushed up, punched the man hard, and smiled: "When will His Highness King Zhao come back?"

The person who came was King Zhao. Looking at his dusty appearance, I am afraid he had just returned.

Zhu Gaosui laughed and said, "One hour ago, I first met my father and mother, and came to find you, the 'emperor'. I heard that you have been very glorious recently. Yes, I have also married a wife... What a pity, if you followed me to Henan, I am afraid that you would have already become more wives and concubines at this time. There are many beautiful women in Henan, tsk tsk..."

Hao Fenglou interrupted him and said, "Your Highness Zhao, please spare me. I will never dare to think about the wife and concubines. It is enough to have seven or eight."

Zhu Gaosui took his hands back and passed the middle door without hesitation, saying, "Where is my sister-in-law? I want to go and see. When I came, my princess brought a lot of gouache to her to be filial to her."

Hao Fenglou had no choice but to lead the way, and while instructing people to report first.

When Lu Yan heard someone's "visiting" she was a little panicked. In fact, she felt that she was not a qualified official wife and was always too shy. Fortunately, Hao's mother often mentioned it, but she could fool her. Today, Hao's mother happened to go out and was at a loss for a moment and had to bite the bullet to see her.

Zhu Gaosui came to the hall and was quite polite. Lu Yan said with a blessed body: "I have seen Your Highness."

Zhu Gaosui hurriedly said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, ha... I came to pay homage to you, and the etiquette is wrong." So he hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met my sister-in-law."

Hao Fenglou couldn't help laughing and said, "You are so kind to see your sister-in-law."

Zhu Gaosui scratched his head and said, "I am happy. What can you do to me? If you have the ability, come and hit me."

Lu Yan didn't dare to laugh and said reluctantly: "Your Highness don't want to make a joke. Please sit down and have tea."

Someone poured tea in, and Zhu Gaosui shook his eyebrows at Hao Fenglou for a few times. After eating the tea, everyone was a little embarrassed and said, "When I see this sister-in-law, I'm even more nervous than going back to see my princess after drinking flower wine, haha... Emperor brother, no wonder you always treat my sister-in-law so much that she doesn't want to eat. It turns out that she is a beauty. With such a wife, so what if she is a wife and a concubine? I can't do it. My princess is pretty good, but her temper is too bad. His father is the Marquis of Taizhou

Wang Biao, a tiger father and daughter, dare to raise the knife to fight for the death if they disagree. I am so ashamed that I am always humiliated by her. I am really unbearable. I have to force my face to laugh outside. I don’t know these things, but my father and mother know about them. They even think that she is virtuous. Everyone praises her for being good. This life... I really can’t live. Fortunately, my father ordered me to go to Annan this time and then go to Lingnan to be a vassal. I think about it. I will leave my family in Nanjing in the name of the bitter cold place. Then I will let the tiger return to the mountain and the hidden dragon comes out of the water. Haha...haha..."

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and shook his head, asking him to sit in the small hall.

The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are more enthusiastic than before. Perhaps because everyone feels comfortable staying together. There is no intrigue from the outside and no other concerns.

Halfway through, Zhu Gaosui looked at the small hall and said, "Since I'm here, why not invite me to drink? Ask someone to drink it with you and have a good time. If you don't need to prepare dishes, just drink it dry?"

Hao Fenglou smiled and ordered.

Zhu Gaosui suddenly said, "What are your plans for going to Annan this time?"

Hao Fenglou said: "What are the plans?"

Zhu Gaosui said: "Don't hide it from me. You are escorting Prince Chen to Annan, but I guess it's not that simple, right?"

Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "It's okay to say these things. Your Majesty's intention is to escort Prince Chen, but another meaning is to borrow Prince Chen to stabilize Annan. Of course, it's just borrowing it. Stabilizing Annan is not for him Prince Chen."

Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "It seems that Prince Chen is afraid he will be in trouble."

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "This Prince Chen is not a simple person. He can escape from Annan to Nanjing and secretly make friends with ministers here. He usually looks cowardly, but in fact he is a perseverant person and is not easy to deal with. In Nanjing, he is naturally nothing, but he may not be able to return to Annan."

As he was talking, the wine came up, Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said, "Don't talk about these things, let's have wine."

Hao Fenglou had to bite the bullet and accompany him. Zhu Gaosui had a good taste of his father and brother when he was drinking. He drank a glass of wine directly, and did not stop halfway through, and even Hao Fenglou felt that he could not resist it.

After drinking, Zhu Gaosui narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Oh... I can't escape after all. I've gone to Lingnan since then, I'm afraid I'm really separated from the people of Nanjing. I'm not afraid of suffering, but I feel unhappy if I don't tell you some things. I don't hate the prince, nor do I envy my second brother, but they can stay in the capital to accompany my parents, but I want to go to Lingnan. Sometimes I think about it, I'm really discouraged. They are all the flesh and blood of my father and mother. I don't want to compete with them, because I have self-knowledge. I'm not as scheming as the prince, nor as brave as the second brother, so I've never thought about taking the throne. Since that's the case, why do I have to go to Lingnan? It's really disappointing, Hao Fenglou, tell me, what would you do if it were you?"

Hao Fenglou was breathing alcohol, leaning on the chair, and laughed: "If it were me? How could I know? Since Your Highness wants to be a prince of Xiaoyao, sometimes he always has to be more open-minded. As for the prince and the King of Han, I would say something that is not right. Even if they are in Nanjing, they may not be happier than you in Lingnan. Things in the world are difficult to achieve both ways, so why bother to think about it?"

Zhu Gaosui suddenly had tears in his eyes, but he didn't know if he was drunk and said choked: "I said these words to myself, in fact, I don't ask for anything, I just want to be kind to my father, filial to my son, and harmonious with my brothers, but... I know this is a delusion. Since I came to Nanjing from Peking, the things I used to have can't have anymore. My father is already another person, and my brother is dead. Hey... I was shocked when I heard that you became my emperor brother. I don't want to have brothers. Sometimes my brothers are not as good as enemies. I would rather we be friends than to get along with them. Look at King Ning and King Gu, who are also the father's elder brothers. What's going on now? Thinking of this, I feel heartbroken, and my heart is filled with coldness."

He stood up powerlessly, then sat on the ground, refused to get up, and said with a smile: "After saying so much, I really don't know whether it is because everyone is drunk and I am alone. Or are everyone awake and I am alone drunk, are they all confused, and I am the only one who sees through it; or are I the only one who is a fool, and they are extremely smart. Well, just treat me as a fool, and I would rather be so stupid for the rest of my life. What's wrong with being confused all the time?"

After saying that, this guy actually lay directly on the ground and fell asleep.

Hao Fenglou sighed, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He felt his mind was a little drowsy, so he staggered out. When the sun outside looked at the sun, his mind suddenly woke up. He glanced back at Zhu Gaosui who had his legs spread out in the hall and was sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but shake his head and couldn't help but murmur: "If it were me, I would rather get drunk with everyone. If I didn't ask for anything, the more I would lose."

Of course, Hao Fenglou would not say these words. He tried his best to smile, stretched, called someone, and ordered: "Send Your Highness back to the Honglu Temple."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather in Nanjing changed as soon as possible. After a heavy rain, the weather gradually became colder. The sun was not as hot as before, with only a hint of warmth.

There was water accumulation in many places in Nanjing, and the soldiers and officers of the five cities had to appear everywhere. The clerks' office was surprisingly silent, and they did not impeach the people of the county in the capital as before, and even after the heavy rain, many chaos appeared. Because the continuous impact of the Jinyiwei made people breathless, and all their faces were a little cautious.

The camp has already started to prepare. Since we are about to set off, we must prepare manpower.

Hao Fenglou made up his mind to bring the three hundred musketeers, and there were also hundreds of Shenwuwei lieutenants, who also had to prepare for the trip. In addition, some craftsmen also had to accompany him, so in the end, Hao Fenglou selected more than 500 people.

The palace immediately approved the letter.

Zhu Zhiling also submitted a memorial, and he actually wanted to go to Annan. This was beyond Hao Fenglou's expectations. He had to come to the princess very seriously and said with a serious attitude: "This trip is quite dangerous, and the journey is long. How can you, a woman, accompany you? When I get there, I may not be able to protect myself. If you go there, what if there is danger?"

Zhu Zhiling said: "Of course I went to protect you."

"Uh..." Hao Fenglou suddenly felt a little inferior, and his self-esteem was deeply hurt. He had to sigh and said, "Don't make these words everywhere. Well, okay, it's okay to go to Annan, so just treat it as a relaxation."

Hao Fenglou sighed in his heart. Zhu Zhiling was very kind to him sometimes, and this may not be a good thing for Zhu Zhiling!

Everything was ready, and Prince Chen had also asked someone to inform him. Prince Chen seemed to have been willing to go south. At this time, he was ecstatic and naturally wanted to leave immediately. However, Zhu Gaosui was delayed for a few days, and everyone agreed to set off the next day and gather at Chaoyang Gate early in the morning.

As for the food, equipment, and all the people and horses have already set off, there is no need to worry about Hao Fenglou people.
