Four hundred and fortieth chapters a sentence
After Zhu Hongyi followed Zhu Hongsan back to the tent, he saw Zhu Hongsan sleeping with the help of the little eunuch. Zhu Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief. Today's work was completed. Zhu Hongsan's current official position is the Prince of Wuchang, the Minister of the Guards, the Infantry Commander, and the Commander of the Imperial Guards. To put it bluntly, he was Zhu Hongsan's Imperial Guards. This position has always been the closest person to all emperors. The Imperial Guards in the Ming Dynasty were the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and they were traditionally eunuchs. However, when Zhu Hongsan asked his cousin Zhu Hongyi to do it, his trust in Zhu Hongyi can be seen.
Zhu Hongyi did not disappoint Zhu Hongsan's high expectations, was loyal to Zhu Hongsan and never participated in the disputes between various factions of the court, thus leaving a good impression on Zhu Hongsan.
Today, after Zhu Hongyi finished his duty, he returned to his tent and asked the guards to bring a pot of shochu and a few side dishes. He prepared to drink some by himself. Zhu Hongyi used to be the leader of the underworld in Nanchang County. He was also a knife and fire. He was so happy that he was very happy with big pieces of wine and meat. Later, because he was responsible for Zhu Hongsan's security work, he quit drinking.
Zhu Hongyi is four years older than Zhu Hong, and this year is exactly 35 years old, which is the peak of a man. Now it is very cold in October in Zhejiang, and there is no heating equipment for later generations at that time. The army has already sent cotton clothes, but Zhu Hongyi doesn't care about those, and after entering his tent, he took off the three-layer heavy armor he wore and wiped the sweat from his body with a dry towel.
In order to serve as a shield for Zhu Hongsan at any time, Zhu Hongyi wore a second-layer chain mail, and a layer of iron leaf armor on the outside, and was equipped with hundreds of kilograms of equipment. He stood for two hours even with Zhu Hongyi's physique.
Originally, the job of unloading himself at home was done by his concubine Xu. This Xu was the daughter-in-law of the Dong family who was brought to him at Dongjiawu Fort in Henan. The eldest daughter-in-law was Qian Lide, and the second daughter-in-law was rewarded by Zhu Hongsan. At the beginning, Xu saw that she was rewarded by Zhu Hongyi, and she was really desperate. Zhu Hongyi was just a hairy bear, and was not a little bit inferior to the handsome second young master of the Dong family, but Xu had no choice. People's lives were like grass in troubled times, and in order to survive, they could only serve Zhu Hongyi with tears.
However, after Xu followed Zhu Hongyi for a while, he found that this black man was not what he thought. Zhu Hongyi was big and thick on the surface, but he was very gentle on the inside and could treat Xu with courtesy. Zhu Hongyi's original wife Ma Chunhua was even more outspoken. Seeing another woman being unaware of her mind, she handed over the financial power of the family to Xu. The next year, Xu gave birth to a daughter for Zhu Hongyi and became more qualified. Ma Chunhua gave birth to two sons for Zhu Hongyi, so Xu's daughter was loved by the whole family.
In the past, when Zhu Hongyi was at home, Xu would take off his armor after get off work, but today, because the army was on an expedition, it was his personal soldiers who took off his armor today. Of course, the man's hands were not as meticulous as the women. Zhu Hongyi frowned and asked the personal soldiers to stop and wipe his body with a towel.
The personal soldier has been following Zhu Hongyi for a long time. He knew that his master disliked his heavy hands and didn't say anything to go out to bring the wine and food.
The personal soldiers brought the wine jars with a total of five kilograms, but these wines were enough for Zhu Hongyi to drink. Zhu Hongyi was two meters tall and weighed 300 kilograms. These wines were really not enough to see. This was a battle, so it was hard to drink more, just to make a drink.
Zhu Hongyi picked up the jar of wine, drank half of the jar in one breath, and let out a long breath, feeling so good.
Zhu Hongyi put down the wine jar, grabbed a pig's hooves, and asked while gnawing: "Is there anything wrong?"
"It's nothing to do when I go back to the prince, but the villain got the news that His Majesty ordered Eunuch Cao to arrest the commander of the money!"
Zhu Hongyi was stunned when he heard this. The emperor arrested money Lide? Why is this? He didn’t receive the news!
"What is the detailed reason?"
"I don't know the specific information, but I heard that it was because Qian Lide was talking nonsense about the emperor's past in Nanchang!"
Zhu Hongyi nodded. Qian Lide should have been repaired. He said everything, but he should not have any worries about his life, and the emperor was still nostalgic.
Zhu Hongyi waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to go out, and he was ready to rest after eating and drinking. After all, he had been on a boat for one day and stood for two hours just now, even with Zhu Hongyi's physical strength, he could not bear it.
Unexpectedly, the personal soldier came back as soon as he went out and whispered: "Prince, Wang Xian, the Jinyiwei Tongzhi outside the door, came, saying that he wanted to see the prince!"
When he heard that Wang Xian was coming, Zhu Hongyi knew that it was for the sake of money and Lide. Zhu Hongyi himself stayed away from court politics and did not want to get involved in these bad things.
"You go out and tell him that I'm already asleep, let him go back!"
The personal soldier nodded and went out, but unexpectedly he came back just after he went out, holding a letter in his hand and said, "Prince, Wang Xian said he wanted the prince to see this letter!"
Zhu Hongyi glared at the personal soldier, "Last brother, isn't Wang Xian begging you?"
The third brother of the personal soldier was Zhu Hongyi's younger brother when he was the boss in Nanchang County. He was also a good brother to Wang Xian, so he brought Wang Xian's letters into the tent.
When Zhu Hongyi talked about the central matter, the third brother blushed and said, "Boss, Wang Xian was born and died with us back then, and even blocked me on the Xiguan Wharf. I'm giving me favors!"
Zhu Hongyi thought to see what was written in the letter and decide what to do then.
Zhu Hongyi opened the half-fold letter and watched it, with only one sentence on it, "Now the prince doesn't speak, who will speak for the prince in the future?"
In just one short sentence, Zhu Hongyi was shocked when he saw it. This sentence hits the things Zhu Hongyi was worried about.
Zhu Hongyi is a meticulous person. He knew who Zhu Hongsan was when Wuchang slaughtered the Guo family. But at that time he had no choice but to have too deep involved, so he could only follow Zhu Hongsan one road to the dark. Although Zhu Hongyi is now the prince, his eldest son Zhao Hu also married Zhu Hongsan's eldest daughter, and his family was so popular in the court. However, Zhu Hongyi knew that although his family was prominent, his destruction was all in Zhu Hongsan's thoughts. Therefore, Zhu Hongyi has become increasingly quiet in recent years and has no contact with anyone, giving people the impression of being a "lonely minister".
Originally, Zhu Hongyi thought it was very simple. He didn't go out of the door and was just a rich man. But how could Emperor Zhu Hongsan let him go? Most of the generals of Zhu Hongsan's new army come from the teaching group outside Nanchang County at that time. The first and second batch of non-commissioned officers were brought out by Zhu Hongyi, which gave Zhu Hongyi a great influence in the army.
If it is easy to deal with someone else, just find a false charge and kill it, but Zhu Hongyi is different. Not to mention that Zhu Hongyi and Zhu Hongsan were originally childhood friends, they had eaten and slept together for more than ten years. Even if Zhu Hongsan's old mother Zhao Chunhua asked Zhu Hongsan to take care of Zhu Hongyi for the rest of her life before she died, Zhu Hongsan could not deal with Zhu Hongyi. Zhu Hongyi was very low-key, unlike the big-mouthed Qian Lide, so Zhu Hongsan was still very at ease with him.
It is precisely because of his reassurance that Zhu Hongyi has influence in the army and is attracted by Empress Ma Xiaofang. Isn’t such a person the guarantee that his son can become the emperor smoothly? So under the operation of Ma Xiaofang, he was preparing to marry Zhu Luo to Zhao Hu, which was considered as insurance for the position of Prince Zhu Hai.
Zhu Hongsan was also very willing to see the successor he chose to be protected by a powerful figure. In this way, Zhu Luo married Zhao Hu, and Zhu Hongyi, who was determined to stay away from politics, was pulled into the battle for the throne by Zhu Hongsan.
After Zhu Hongyi established a relationship with the prince, he did not want to get along with other princes, so Zhu Hongyi has always maintained a good relationship with the forces of the King of Qin and the King of Chu. However, this balanced relationship was broken by his second son Zhu Bao more than ten days ago.
Ma Xiaofang's death was definitely a major blow to the princelings, and Ma Ruyan, who was promoted to the throne, was even more prepared to let his son ban the prince, so that Zhu Hong and his third brother would bring the King of Qin together during the expedition so that the King of Qin could make military achievements.
Zhu Hongyi's second son was not as cunning as his elder brother Zhao Hu. He knew that the King of Qin had become his subordinate and immediately showed disgust for him. After the old guy Tong Yangjia fanned the flames, King of Qin Zhu Jiang was almost deposed, which made Zhu Bao completely an enemy of the King of Qin. This was exactly what Zhu Hongyi was worried about. It was easy to say now that the princes were still young and had little power in their hands, but what about the future? With the victory of Emperor Zhu Hongsan, the princes grew older and their power in their hands increased. It was hard to say how their family would end up.
Zhu Hongyi has been very upset these days. Of course, he would not tell anyone about such things, but he did not expect that his thoughts would be seen by an outsider. Zhu Hongyi was really scared. If this person spread his thoughts, it would be over.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyi quickly asked the third soldier to go out and bring Wang Xian in, and he wanted to ask who could know his thoughts.
Wang Xian stood at attention after entering the house, and saluted, saying, "Report to the instructor, Wang Hushi, the second squad of recruits," Wang Hushi, reported it to him!" Wang Hushi was Wang Xian's previous name, and he didn't know how his parents got the name. A gangster in the underworld actually called Hushi, which is really strange. Wang Xian changed his name after he became rich, and he meant to achieve the development and Xiangui. He originally wanted to call Wang Fada or Wang Xiangui, but he was terrified, but later he only took one word called Wang Xian.
Zhu Hongyi shook his hand and said, "Wang Tongzhi, you don't have to salute me. I am not your instructor now, and you are not a recruit. Let's call it an official position!"
"I dare not be an instructor for one day and a instructor for the rest of my life!"
Zhu Hongyi saw that Wang Xian insisted on this, and he had no choice but to ask about the letter when he saw Wang Xian today. This is the key point. As for what the name Zhu Hongyi is, he has no intention of dealing with these things.
Zhu Hongyi raised the piece of paper in his hand and said, "Who wrote this letter?"
