After a long time no see, the king and his minister had nothing to say.

Hao Fenglou talked freely, and Zhu Di would occasionally interject such sentences.

Talk about Jiaozhi, talk about building ships, and even Jiaozhi's counter-rebellion.

Zhu Di showed patience very rarely, but he also listened with relish.

It was getting late. In fact, today's time was short, so it was impossible to talk about any major issues. However, the monarch and minister had a tacit understanding and did not continue to talk deeply. Everyone was tacitly aware of it and knew that the real major issues must be left to be dealt with for a few days before they were dealt with.

At the end, Zhu Di seemed to remember something and said lightly: "Although Hu Lu is brave, I... still decided to save his life. It's not the past now. I want to kill people, but I can't kill them. I can only kill them..." He smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "It's just that I'm only good at killing people, but not good at killing people. The kindness of a woman may be ridiculed by Hu Lu again."

Zhu Di seemed a little quiet, and it was obvious that the emperor did not always be very happy.

Zhu Di smiled again and said, "Okay, you finally came back. It's time to go home to see your mother. I can't stop you from being filial. Let's go, let's go, enter the palace tomorrow. No, you don't have to enter the palace tomorrow. Wait obediently in Longjiang. If you have something to do today, I haven't boarded your boat yet. You have spent so much effort to build the boat. If I don't look at it, wouldn't it be a pity? I will take all the officials over there at noon tomorrow, so you will be waiting there."

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "I obey the order."

After coming out of the palace, Hao Fenglou breathed a long sigh of relief. The Hao family heard the news. They had already sent a carriage to wait outside the palace gate, waiting for Hao Fenglou to leave the palace. Then they took Hao Fenglou back to the house.

Hao Fenglou sat in the carriage, took a nap, and finally returned to Hao's mansion. When he saw his mother and his wife, the family reunited, he took out his father's letter and read it to Hao's mother. Hao's mother just smiled and nodded, and said with lingering fear, "I was shocked when I heard that Jiaozhi was in chaos again. Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of his ancestors, Jiaozhi finally quelled the rebellion, and it is not in vain that Yan'er and I would like to ask for blessings for you father and son. Alas. In fact, I don't ask for wealth and honor, but just peace for you father and son."

Tears flashed in Hao Fenglou's eyes and said, "It makes my mother worry, my son dies."

It has been a few years since this era came, and Hao Fenglou has been completely integrated. When he heard his mother say this, his heart was like a knife, and the scene of Hao's mother not sleeping all night appeared in his mind. He felt deeply moved, and tears were revealed. He quickly accused him of guilt.

He was next to Hao's mother and felt Hao's mother's body temperature. Hao's mother stroked her back and said with a smile: "What does it mean to die if you talk nonsense? You can live well. I don't understand the rest. I only know that you have to eat well, sleep well, and be free from disasters or illnesses. Then Amitabha Buddha, and my ancestors will bless you."

Lu Yan'er was sitting by her side. Seeing that Hao Fenglou was a little out of control and was sobbing that he couldn't speak, he hurriedly covered up for his husband and said deliberately, "Mother said, "Are you a woman, just be a woman?" Hao Fenglou turned his face and wiped his tears quietly, and said, "How could he be unstable? This time he entered the capital and made great contributions, the emperor must have a great reward. I have already thought about it. An An lived in the capital, and served his mother with Yan'er, but he was pitiful to his father, alone in Jiaozhi. He was old and always said that his waist was a little sad a few days ago, alas..."

After sighing, Hao Fengloudun felt that his words had caused trouble, so he smiled and said, "But my father was there, he was like a fish in water. He said that Jiaozhi was our home. He had to build a house for our people and lay the foundation. He had to put bricks and tiles and build a beam. He had to teach the descendants of the Hao family to enjoy his kindness for generations. As a son, I had to refuse to be disrespectful and enjoy the fruits of his life."

Hao's mother and Lu Yan'er both smiled, and Hao's mother finally sniffed her face: "It's natural for me to eat my son."

After making Hao's mother happy, Hao Fenglou resigned and returned to his room. After a while, Lu Yan came back, and the couple had a lot to say.

Hao Fenglou was tired and had dinner rushily. Lu Yan'er said, "I'll go with my mother, my husband should go to bed early."

Hao Feng Louhe nodded, exhausted, and went to bed.

When he woke up, he found a woman lying beside the couch, who seemed to be wearing only underwear and touching her smooth skin. The other party's body trembled. Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "What, is Yan'er sleeping?"

"Young Master..."

A familiar voice sounded, and Hao Fenglou suddenly shuddered and couldn't help saying, "Xiao Xiangxiang..."

There is silence in the darkness.

Hao Fenglou was speechless, but was a little angry by the people around him, but he smiled bitterly and said, "Mrs. Young Madam asked you to come?"

Xiao Xiangxiang said awkwardly: "Yes, the young lady said that since she is a concubine, she should look like...ah... My face is burning, the young master... I am so scared that I always feel strange... Master, can I take a breath first? I can't breathe..."

Hao Fenglou was speechless again and had to say, "You can breathe first."

Xiao Xiangxiang took a deep breath and finally got the courage and said, "Young Master...you...you...you...come up."

"Come on, what's up?"

Xiao Xiang Xiang was so popular: "The old lady has told you, Master, don't be so shy, okay? While I'm still breathing, come up quickly."

Hao Fenglou had to turn over and said, "What will you do next?"

"Next..." Xiao Xiangxiang was pressed by Hao Fenglou, and she was a little helpless, her mind was blank, and she suddenly said: "This, Madam didn't explain, but I forgot to ask Madam, you come down first, I'll ask Madam..."

Hao Fenglou was almost vomiting blood and hurriedly said, "This... Actually, it seems I understand..."

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

After a night passed, Hao Fenglou was living a comfortable and happy life at home. The palace issued an order to drive the Longjiang River again.

The civil and military officials waiting outside the Meridian Gate were not surprised. His Majesty was most enthusiastic about this shipbuilding. At present, Hao Fenglou built such a giant ship. At this time, he did not take the envoys of the vassal state and the civil and military ministers to watch the first and second days. When will he wait?

Your Majesty wants to see the big ship, but everyone has no objection. After all, this ship was built by the Hao family and did not cost the imperial court a piece of copper. Even the harshest person could not find any mistake at this time.

So, in the midst of everyone's high expectations, with the eunuch coming, they asked everyone to go to the Daming Gate to kneel down to welcome the emperor out of the palace, and many people went bustling towards the Daming Gate.

Zhu Di had crossed the Jinshui Bridge with a dragon chassis. Zhu Di seemed very excited today. The Ming Gate had already appeared in front of him. Zhu Di couldn't help but smile and was about to go out of the chariot to accept worship from all the ministers. Unexpectedly, a eunuch in the palace ran over panting.

The person who came was Wang An. Wang An had a pale face. He finally came to the rushing rush and quickly bowed: "Your Majesty, I have something important to ask for."

Zhu Di, who was lying in the dragon chariot, couldn't help but frown, lifted the veil and said, "Say."

Wang An said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the news recently sent was that Hu Lu escaped from Jinling last night and arrived in Longjiang to order the fleet to sail. Dozens of ships got up all night and went down the river. There was also news from Danyang County, Zhenjiang Prefecture that suddenly a group of foreigners suddenly attacked the county seat and plundered some of the wealth and goods and left."

Zhu Di was slightly stunned and then became furious.

Zhu Di originally wanted to let him go, but he never expected that he would dare to do such a thing.

In fact, since Hu Lu was exposed, Hu Lu began to feel uneasy. He was afraid that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would suddenly issue an order to take his life. After thinking about it, he simply fled in a hurry. On the Longjiang side, the crew members were waiting on the boat, and they could not land without the permission of the court. Therefore, these sailors and shipmen were always on the boat. As soon as Hu Lu arrived, he immediately ordered people to raise their anchor.

Originally, it was extremely dangerous to get anchored in such a river, and it was night. An accident might occur if you accidentally did it. But Hu Lu did not care about so much. His life was important, and he gritted his teeth and tried his best to leave.

The fleet immediately went down the river, but the problem arose again. It was okay to escape, but the ship did not replenish enough food and fresh water. After all, it was a sudden incident and no one expected that once the big ship went to sea, it would be difficult to replenish supplies.

Hu Lu simply did not do anything, and after escaping from Jinling, he immediately ordered people to land and rob, robbed a lot of supplies, and after carrying them on board, he planned to leave.

Anyway, the sky is high and the sea is wide. If you don’t do this business in the Ming Dynasty, you won’t do it. You can do it. You can have money, but your life must be kept. Hu Lu even thought that as long as you escape from the coast of the Ming Dynasty, you can find a place to stop and continue to supply. At that time, whether to stay near the West or return directly to the country, you can make other plans.

But what he never thought was that Zhu Di was really angry.

The Emperor of Ming went straight down and walked through the Daming Gate step by step. Outside the Daming Gate, all the officials bowed to the ground.

Zhu Di's face turned pale. Looking at the civil and military officials, he took a deep breath and said, "You guys, do you still remember that Hu Lu?"

Hu Lu...

Everyone was confused. Of course everyone knew about this person, but what happened to Hu Lu? No matter how Hu Lu provoked the emperor yesterday, the emperor was indifferent. Why did he ask about this person for no reason today?
