Chapter 37: Pretending to be Will

The house was full of wind and rain, and in the house, the mother and daughter were sleepless. Zhou Han opened the window from time to time, poked her face and looked outside. The worry was hard to hide. Sun Di stared at the oil lamp in a daze. Seeing that Zhou Han was always out of control, she couldn't help saying, "Mom, Mr. Li is fine, she will definitely be able to break through the Fu Palace. Maybe she will be able to pick us up into the palace in a while."

"Um!"

Zhou Han gently tapped her head, but still looked at the dark street corner outside.

Sun Di's eyes rolled and asked again: "Mom, what do you think of Mr. Li?"

Zhou Han suddenly felt a little fever on her cheeks, and a trace of inexplicable emotions surged into her heart, and asked guiltily: "What are you asking about this?"

Sun Di said seriously like a little adult: "Mom, you don't have to be a widow for my father. You have been mourning for him for two years, so you can't stand it. But how did his family treat you? As soon as he was sent off, he couldn't wait to marry you to an old man to fill in the house. It's a blessing that Di'er saw the opportunity and pulled her out of the capital. Otherwise, Di'er would be more than Di'er called your mother. I heard that the old man's eldest son is enough to be a father for his mother..."

"What has passed is gone, what else should I do?"

Zhou Han interrupted, "Besides, have we escaped? When we arrive at Gaoyou, please ask Mr. Li to send us back to Jiading, so that we can settle down."

"Mom, Di'er doesn't want to go to Jiading!"

Sun Di pouted and said, "How can a married daughter go back to her parents' home? Mom, don't blame the little girl for speaking badly. Even though her parents are thinking of old love, your brothers may not be able to tolerate you. Maybe, in a few days, you will have to help her take care of her marriage. Maybe when Di'er gets older, you will be arranged by your Zhou family to marry someone in a mess."

Zhou Han was not stupid. In the atmosphere of public opinion at that time, the daughter who returned to her parents' home basically couldn't live for a long time. She would sooner or later be remarried by her family and be called a good name for you. She couldn't help but sigh: "The world is so big, how can we have a place for our mother and daughter? Where can we go if we don't go back to Jiading?"

Sun Di ran over and grabbed Zhou Han's neck of clothes and said, "Mom, let's stay in Gaoyou. You are proficient in Western learning and can help Mr. Li. But I don't mind having a father like Mr. Li. I think Mr. Li likes me very much."

Zhou Han was shocked all over. She was proficient in Western learning and was also biased towards the West in her thoughts. She did not agree with the Confucian Three Obediences and Four Virtues. After being brought with her by Li Xin, she did not consider her future, but she never dared to think deeper. Today, she was directly exposed by Sun Di in a childish way!

"What's going on in Gaoyou... depends on the situation, don't talk nonsense about anything else!"

Zhou Han scolded unnaturally.

Sun Di smiled.

The room was calm, but Zhou Han's mind was messy and her mood could no longer be settled.

Fortunately, not long after, a knock on the door sounded outside, and a female soldier asked, "Have Madam Zhou slept? The commander-in-chief captured the Fu Palace and sent someone to pick us up."

"Mom, mom!"

Sun Di shouted in surprise: "I'll just say that Mr. Li will definitely capture the royal palace. Let's go out quickly. Hehe, I haven't lived in the royal palace yet."

Zhou Han also breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

...

Soon, the mother and daughter were taken into the palace, but they were unable to see Li Xin. Zhou Han was a little disappointed. Sun Di couldn't help but nag it. Li Xin had no choice. After all, the longer he stayed in Luoyang, the more dangerous it was. His subordinates were all rough, and he had to worry about fighting and killing, let alone doing it himself. He could only work hard and do it himself.

After taking a shower, Li Xin invited Hongmao and Gao Guiying to share the bear paw of King Fu. The two women were disgusted and refused to eat anything. That was sorry. Li Xin asked them to identify the literate women among the palace maids and concubines. At that time, those who read were all talented, so he could not betrothed the talents to the soldiers. The same is true for musical music, and it is still useful to keep them.

After chewing a bear paw, Li Xin personally sealed up his property. The entire Fu Palace received a total of 460,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of gold, 30,000 stones of grain, more than ten boxes of calligraphy, painting, jewelry, 700 pairs of intact iron armor, 200 bird guns, fifty three-eyed guns, nearly 300 horses and mules, and also knives, arrows, bows, arrows, gunpowder, although it was not as expected, but it was already a very generous income. It was not until the early morning that the finances were counted and packed into a cart.

Li Xin didn't care about his fatigue, so he directly found King Fu, and smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty, how can you do?"

"well!"

King Fu nodded quickly, looking humble, but who is Li Xin? In King Fu's small eyes, there are some unaware hatred. His humility on the surface is just to hide his inner resentment and find all opportunities to survive.

Don’t look at King Fu’s incompetence. At least he has experienced the dispute over the country’s foundation. He is a prince who has fought for the throne. He cannot be worth it. He left the capital at the age of 28 and became a vassal. His mind has long been mature. He was disheartened because of the failure of the battle. The Zhu family is like raising pigs to the vassal kings. He was imprisoned in a small palace for life. He has no future or future. He indulged himself and is addicted to alcohol and sex. Now he is facing a critical moment of life and death. How can he be willing to kill him?

Li Xin sneered secretly. He was not afraid that King Fu would have the heart to be in trouble, but was afraid that he would not cooperate with his desire to die. He couldn't help but snorted: "The prince immediately issued an order to summon the former Minister of War of Nanjing, the former Minister of War of Nanjing, Wang Yinchang, the general of the Luoyang branch, Wang Shaoyu, Feng's prefect, the Wei Promoter, and Zhang County entered the palace. He summoned everyone to discuss on the grounds that Li Chuang was going to attack Luoyang soon."

King Fu's body shook violently, it was clear that Li Xin wanted to catch all the officials of Luoyang in his own name. If this matter was done, it would be the rebellion of the Zhu family. I am afraid that Wuyan would meet the late emperors of all dynasties again in the nine lunar calendars. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but the tragic phenomenon in the palace last night scared him again, and he didn't want to die!

Rejection means death. If you don’t refuse, you will be delayed for at least one day. He even has ambitions. If Li Xin rebelled, he would inevitably support himself as the emperor. Then do he have the chance to fight back?

After all, the Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not the little Ming king at the end of the Yuan Dynasty!

"Yes, yes, Xiao Wang is entirely in charge of the commander-in-chief!"

King Fu quickly responded.

Li Xin waved his hand.

Someone brought paper and pen, and King Fu wrote at his desk, and asked Eunuch Liu to use it to stamp it on it. Li Xin took it to see it. The words were just the norm, and there was no secret foreshadowing or slander.

"What does the commander-in-chief think? The edict may be issued?"

King Fu asked carefully.

"Can!"

Li Xin nodded.

King Fu said to Eunuch Liu: "Go out of the palace to pass the imperial edict and summon all the officials."

Eunuch Liu was about to respond, but Li Xin stopped him and said, "Slowly, call the eunuchs in the palace first."

"yes!"

Eunuch Liu glanced at King Fu and retreated. Within a moment, he brought back more than a dozen eunuchs.

Li Xin looked at it one by one and asked, "Who are Huang Wu and Hu Ba?"

The two young eunuchs looked at each other and saluted each other: "It's just a slave."

Li Xin said: "You two go to pass the imperial edict. I am ugly in front of you. I don't have the intention to kill King Fu, and even plan to support King Fu as the emperor in the future. So be honest. If you dare to inform anyone in private, I will not survive and King Fu will die. Do you understand?"

"Yes, understand!"

Huang Wu and Hu Ba's expressions moved slightly, and both responded.

"Go."
