Xu Xun had experienced this bridal chamber affair many times in his previous life, and he had always been the one making noises. Although this was his first time in this life, he was still a bystander who took pleasure in his misfortune. Seeing Zhu Houzhao taking advantage of Zhang Zong, who was already extremely thick-skinned,
He said that he was blushing and begging for mercy again and again. He knew that Miss Cao's face was tender, so he finally came forward to smooth things over. So, Zhu Houzhao gave up in anger, and when he scooped up a fruit, he bit it hard.
One bite.
"Speaking of which, when I get married tomorrow, I wish it could be as lively as this!"
There are countless rituals and rules for the emperor's wedding. It seems lively and joyful, but in fact it is like a puppet being tossed for several days. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought about it. However, no one answered him when he saw this.
, he thought and knew that he didn't even think about it if he tossed it willfully, so he stared at the bitten fruit for a while, and then he suddenly said: "You guys, what if I turn the Leopard Room into a new house?"
?”
Liu Jin was slightly distracted just now when he saw all the eunuchs taking a step back almost tacitly. Even Xu Xun almost did the same thing, leaving him at the front for a moment. After he was stunned for a moment, he finally hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Got up.
If there were no empress dowagers of the two palaces in the palace, it goes without saying that he would definitely support Zhu Houzhao to do whatever he wanted to do, but with the two empress dowagers over his head, he could follow Zhu Houzhao's wishes in other places, but this matter was completely different.
Don't let go.
When the group of people came out of the side door of Zhenninghou Mansion, he tried his best to dispel Zhu Houzhao's idea. He was also thinking about discussing things with Jiao Fang and others tonight, although he was extremely worried about letting Zhang Yong and others go with him.
Xu Xun escorted Zhu Houzhao back to the palace, even more worried that they would say bad things about him, but he could only choose the lesser of two evils. After all, Zhu Houzhao's sudden and furious behavior a few days ago had made it very clear that the emperor's trust
Above him, Xu Xun is by no means inferior to him.
"Your Majesty, there are still some matters at your private residence..."
"Go. You don't have to worry about me."
Zhu Houzhao nodded almost without thinking. Seeing Liu Jin salute and then turn around, he didn't care that it was late at night and strolled as if shopping. The sound of tapping shoes was particularly harsh. However, in this situation,
In the voice, the little emperor suddenly stopped, and then said with sudden emotion: "You guys, why do everyone say that we share hardships and hardships, and we share wealth and prosperity? This is true for husband and wife. The same is often true for like-minded relatives and friends?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xun, Zhang Yonggu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others were all shocked. The latter almost thought that Zhu Houzhao was alluding to the overt and covert struggle between them, but Xu Xun vaguely felt that Zhu Houzhao had always been
That kind of straightforward temperament, even though the little emperor now deals with things more clearly, and his insight and tolerance have also improved greatly, this fundamental temperament will not change. So, he pondered slightly, and then laughed.
There was a sound.
"Xu Xun. Do you dare to laugh at me?"
"Of course I don't dare." Xu Xun walked forward a few steps with a smile, only about one person behind Zhu Houzhao, but said in a relaxed tone, "Your Majesty's question is easy to answer. When we share the same adversity, we face the same difficult situation.
Well, the enemy, no matter what, is often something that one person cannot resist no matter what. Moreover, if we don’t work together, we may die ugly together. Therefore, in the face of this kind of situation, anyone with a clear mind will work together.
We share hardships together.”
"Well, that makes sense, but what next?"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao didn't feel dissatisfied, he even looked at himself with interest. Xu Xun then smiled and said: "As for whether it is difficult to share wealth and honor, it depends on the situation. The right person is a contented person who is always happy. If he only gets wealth, he will be satisfied.
, after getting rich, things will naturally remain the same as before. But people are often selfish. When men get rich, they long for beauty, and when women get rich, they long for someone higher than themselves. As a result, wealth changes wives, and it’s easy to change wives.
Husband, this is not surprising. As for things like that after getting rich, your close friends and relatives turn against each other..."….
Xu Xun paused and found that Zhu Houzhao was more interested than before, and even kept urging him to speak quickly. He said sincerely: "That's probably because we were able to share adversity back then because the purpose was the same, but the concepts were completely different.
Different, and people’s temperaments are never the same. At first, everyone just wanted to work together and put aside differences to seek common ground. But now that the goal is achieved, as time goes by, these mutually incompatible things are exposed.
, so naturally water and fire are incompatible, and they fall out. This has nothing to do with the issue of right or wrong, but more to do with the initial relationship, which is just mutual benefit, so if they work together, they stay, and if they don’t work, they go. This is the same principle. As long as there is mutual benefit
Those who are not wealthy can never be considered true friends."
Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong originally thought that Xu Xun would use this opportunity to insinuate their relationship with Liu Jin, while Ma Yongcheng and the other three simply hoped that Xu Xun would do this. However, Xu Xun's answer was far beyond their expectations.
Even Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened in surprise, and he coughed dryly after a while.
"Xu Xun, I really think that your boy is definitely at least one year older than me." Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then stretched out both hands at the same time, "I think you are at least ten years older than me.
!No, twenty years old!”
Xu Xun was amused by Zhu Houzhao's words and laughed. He thought that Zhu Houzhao's guess was the middle number, but it was almost the same. But after laughing, he asked Zhu Houzhao seriously: "I'm surprised.
Why does the emperor think of asking this?"
"Well..."
Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and said: "I went out to the palace for a walk yesterday when I had nothing to do, and I met Li Banban. Li Banban looked a lot older. I heard that his former godsons did
My grandson almost cut off all contact with him. I was furious when I heard that, but he said that it is common in the world to share wealth and hardships, so I don’t have to take it to heart. He also said that he was already very lucky.
Chen Kuan and a few others shared weal and woe, and later they were in high positions in the Bureau of Ceremonies. They got along well with each other for more than ten years, at least they never experienced sharing weal and woe, and sharing wealth and wealth. People who were so good at the time that they could wear a pair of trousers are now stabbing each other.
The taste of the knife. So I was inspired by it, so I scooped it up and asked you."
It’s actually Li Rong!
Everyone, including Xu Xun, was stunned. As for this once-all-powerful chief minister, as he, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others exited the stage of history at the same time, they had long forgotten such a person.
At the back of his mind, he thought he had already gone to Nanjing. But now that he heard this name from the emperor, Xu Xun couldn't help but think that after all, Li Rong was the person who had taken Zhu Houzhao by his side since he was a child. The little emperor had doubts about this person.
It is simply obvious that he has some kind of lingering old love. But did he really meet such a person by chance, or was it Li Rong's design, or was there something else behind it?
Under the night, Zhu Houzhao only focused on himself and sighed, not noticing the expressions of others looking at each other. He took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back. He suddenly said again: "When he said that, I
I can't help but think of Qiu Julai. When he followed me in the East Palace, he was a very cautious person, but once he was released, he was good at doing things. He behaved lawlessly and was just fooling me!"
After the little emperor became angry, he turned his head and stared at the others intently: "I know that you have all brought your brothers and nephews to the capital to enjoy the blessings. I also sympathize with you and have granted official positions to each of them. However, you must also be restrained.
I am here to protect them. This official appointment is to prevent them from suffering hardship, not to let them be tyrannical. Previously, those family members in Qiu Ju were tyrannical, and in front of others, others thought it was me who was supporting them! You have to learn this.
Liu Jin and Xu Xun, Liu Jin's nephew Liu Erhan, had been severely punished by the family, and now he almost doesn't show up. Others rarely show off. As for Xu Xun, let alone Xu Xun, there are people outside who dare to attack the Xu family.
Everyone knows the sign, from store owners to ordinary people. Just send it to Shuntian Mansion and it will be a slap in the face!”….
Zhu Houzhao suddenly scooped out Liu Jin and Xu Xun side by side for praise, which immediately made all the eunuchs stare at each other. You must know that most of them entered the palace as children and suffered a lifetime of hardship. Now it is human to allow their families to enjoy the blessings.
It is only natural that one or two black sheep appear... Even the most sage emperors like Xuanzong and Xiaozong have not been able to ban them. Why did the little emperor suddenly think of this? Especially when the two elder brothers had already been appointed to be uncles.
Zhang Yong even took a peek at Xu Xun.
"Your Majesty, if you continue to praise me, I will be ashamed of myself." Xu Xun was full of vigilance ever since he found out the name Li Rong. Li Rong is much older than Xiao Jing. If he really knows how to retreat bravely, he must
It’s time to take care of yourself while you still have a life. What’s the point of appearing in front of the emperor? So, after he said this, he said with a smile. “I have suffered a lot from my bullshit relatives in Nanjing before.
Therefore, in my life, I hate those people who flatter me when I am rich, and add insult to injury or hide away when I am poor. I am a person who is bound to retaliate, so I would rather lend this momentum to a trusted person than to the so-called relatives.
"
"You are indeed honest."
What Zhu Houzhao liked most was what Xu Xun said. It was no surprise that he would hear such an answer at this moment. After being happy for a while, he suddenly waved his hand and told the other eunuchs to stay away, and waved to Xu Xun and
He walked side by side, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly whispered in a shocking voice: "Xu Xun, do you know that just a few days ago, I ordered a staff to kill a chamberlain in the Leopard Room?"
Although Xu Xun is a well-informed person, it depends on who and what. Regarding the matters around Zhu Houzhao, he has always carefully maintained a certain distance, and even strictly ordered Ruisheng not to send any information unless it was urgent. At this moment,
He couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhu Houzhao mention such a thing that people's lives mattered outside but were of no importance in the palace.
"This is a palace matter, and I don't know much about it."
Zhu Houzhao rubbed his chin, which was now slightly velvety, and said after a while: "The reason why I ordered the staff to kill that man is because he actually accused you of having different intentions, saying that you are powerful in both civil and military affairs, and a traffic border town.
, and there is an advance guard of the government army in Xiyuan, and there are twelve elite regiments and battalions in the left and right government halls. There are only a father, a wife and a daughter beside him. If someone secretly sends him out of the capital, I will have no worries at all. I was there at that time.
I was so angry that after I kicked the person down, I ordered him to be gagged, pulled out and killed with a stick. Afterwards, I felt that it was a bit reckless and the mastermind should be interrogated strictly!"
The death of a trivial chamberlain actually had such a hidden meaning!
Xu Xun, who took a breath of cold air, felt that his mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't know what to say. He couldn't say anything like a defense in front of Zhu Houzhao, and he couldn't help but laugh easily.
Indifferent. It is conceivable that if it were any other emperor, even if he killed such a servant who dared to say that the minister had treacherous intentions, he would never say it out loud.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
Seeing that Xu Xun had been separated for almost a long time before he said these words carefully, Zhu Houzhao suddenly waved his hand to stop him, and then grinned and said: "No need to say anything, I killed people because of my attitude. If I don't believe it,
You, this matter is rotten in my stomach, and I will never tell you. Since I say it, it is treated as a joke. Just listen to it. I have always been very accurate in judging people. I remember when I was in Shuntianfu Yadi
I felt that you were interesting the first time I met you. On that day, I even said things to you that I had never mentioned to anyone else. It was because I felt that you were trustworthy from the beginning. As long as you are someone I trust,
I will always trust you to the end. What a cunning rabbit and dead lackey, bah, I am not such a ruthless and unjust emperor!”….
Seeing Zhu Houzhao actually spitting on the wall twice, Xu Xun wanted to laugh a little, but that kind of touch made him feel a little bitter. After Zhu Houzhao said this, he raised his fingers and touched the back of his head.
The big men and Ruisheng all called up together, glanced at them and coughed lightly.
"Keep what I said today in mind, and don't say a word, otherwise it will be up to you to see how I deal with you later!" After giving the fierce instructions, Zhu Houzhao glanced sideways at Xu Xun and said, "Xu Xun, the same goes for you.
, that is the secret between me and you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured that these words will never fall into the ears of a third person!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao nodding happily, when he got out of the alley, a carriage that had been prepared for a long time came slowly. Then Xu Xun personally sent Zhu Houzhao to the car. When Ruisheng followed, he closed the door again. However,
Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong deliberately lagged behind. Zhang Yong couldn't help but stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What did the emperor say to you?"
"It's nothing." Xu Xun raised the corner of his mouth, and then said with a smile, "It's just that someone's plan failed. It's okay, you guys hurry up and follow!"
When he made the same gesture to Gu Dayong, Xu Xun's eyes turned cold as he saw a man mount his horse and escort the little emperor's car away.
Those who thought he was an eyesore and a nuisance, but administered such strong medicine but still failed, and even let Zhu Houzhao leak the matter, the agency was really too clever!
However, from this point of view, it turns out that when he rejected Yang Yiqing's proposal in the past, it turned out that he was not too rigid and entangled. Zhu Houzhao's trust was not in him alone, and Liu Jin was absolutely not bad either. If Zhu Houzhao would have believed that Liu Jin had some rebellious intentions,
If someone slanders him again in the future, the attitude of the little emperor will never be so clear! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it to (.)
