The little fat Zhu Youcong was kicked again, this time more seriously. Although the emperor gave him the title of general, he also issued an order to reprimand him. Of course, the reprimand was just for others to see. In reality,
But Zhu Youcong was rushing back to Luoyang to celebrate the New Year, and then he had to start his ulterior career.
To be honest, Zhu Youcong never thought about celebrating the New Year in the capital. Although the capital is more prosperous, the Ministry of War banned residents from setting off firecrackers on the 29th of the first lunar month in the name of catching spies. Of course, no one knows what kind of spies are caught.
What I know is that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a fire in the house of Mr. Yang Lianyang of the Ministry of War. Zhu Youcong always believed that it would not be a Chinese New Year without fireworks and firecrackers!
The team returning home was larger than when it entered Beijing. If there were no escorts for the tribute, the team should be smaller. How could it be bigger? Yes, Zhu Youcong's own team was streamlined; but he couldn't stand it.
There were so many people in the group of lamas! That day, after Tashi Dorje went back and reported the details to the great lama who was traveling with him, he said that he would go to Luoyang in person to express his gratitude to King Fu! As for praying and other things, the great lama thought that he did not have enough Taoism; so
I decided to go back to Tibet and ask for a Buddha statue for King Fu's family. I took it to major temples and asked the living Buddhas of each family to pray for the ninety-nine and eighty-one heavenly scriptures, and then write various blessings and mantras for them.
Zhu Youcong was still sitting in his five-star luxury carriage dragged by Zi Ling, reading the canonization imperial edict over and over again. He just couldn't figure it out. He was obviously a general, and he was still from the country. Why?
It becomes a low-level title? You still have to be reprimanded before you can give it? If you don’t repent, you will have to bear this title and you won’t be able to inherit the title of King Fu? What’s the point? I’m still thinking that I can show off my authority in the future.
, he speaks "this general" all the time!
There was also a very special person in the return team, that is, Gu Xichou who had followed him to Luoyang to take up his post. On that day, the officials reported to Emperor Tianqi to drive Zhu Youcong back to Luoyang, and Gu Xichou was quietly pulled by the emperor to Zhu Youcong's house.
The family talked secretly for several hours, and finally decided to use the trick. After arriving in Luoyang, Gu Xichou's most important task was to fight against Zhu Youcong, and to come and scold him whenever there was nothing wrong. Of course, as for how he scolded him when he entered Prince Fu's Mansion, that was nothing.
No one can control it anymore. Of course, everyone in the court has no objection to this old guy who was born in the Donglin Party, but whom no one gave face to, and was appointed as the prefect of Luoyang. In order to show that he was rooted in Luoyang, Gu Xichou was determined to supervise King Fu.
, has already reported to the imperial court that the whole family should be sent to Luoyang.
Gu Xichou, who was following the carriage, looked at the huge lama team and couldn't help but Lu Xiangsheng beside him said: "Jiandou, what does the young prince mean by asking Wu Sizang to buy so many mastiff dogs?"
"This..." Lu Xiangsheng was also on the side during the secret meeting that day. He knew that Gu Xichou was one of his own, but he still looked around carefully before saying: "I think Duke Jiuchou also knew that Guan Zhong bought a deer to conquer Chu and a fox to demote him.
allusion!"
"Buy a deer to subjugate Chu, or buy a fox to subjugate the throne?" Gu Xichou thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes flashed and he said excitedly: "Young prince, this is..."
"Shh! It's unspeakable, it's unspeakable! Our little prince..." Lu Xiangsheng also thought about it for a long time that day, and really couldn't think of a reason, so he went to find Zhu Youcong despite the thunder. When he knew the answer, he was shocked.
He couldn't help but couldn't imagine how a nine-year-old kid could have such a profound strategy! He was also looking forward to it with all his heart, looking forward to the ten years in Zhu Youcong's mouth. He didn't know what the world would be like by then.
What a prosperous time!
"You have such scheming at such a young age, it's limitless, it's limitless..." Gu Xichou didn't know about the ten-year agreement, but he knew that Zhu Youcong returned to Luoyang to recruit officials and train elite soldiers for the emperor. He faced him
On the surface, he wants to oppose him everywhere, but as long as he doesn't do anything that really harms the country and the people, he has to listen to his orders in private. Originally, he still didn't care in his heart, isn't he just a child? No matter how capable he is, he can be so powerful.
Where to go? The emperor must have taken a fancy to himself and let Wang Fu's family take advantage of it. In fact, he still had to do things on his own. Now he suddenly heard about Zhu Youcong's weak hiding strategy, plus the secret discussion that day.
It emerged that he had to secretly admire...
"Maybe, maybe this young prince... is really the minister of the Ming Dynasty who was given to me by God!" Gu Xichou couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"The young prince, the prince and the princess have come out of the city to greet us!" Far away from Luoyang City, Xiao Lezi saw the fluttering flag at the door and shouted excitedly.
"Father, mother and concubine! Hurry, hurry!" Zhu Youcong also saw the crowd at the gate of the city and felt the family affection coming from them. He couldn't help but burst into tears and shouted for the team to speed up!
"The common people bow to the young prince!" Zhu Youcong's team was suddenly stopped when they were at least one or two miles away from the city gate, and people knelt on the ground beside the road.
"Old man, please get up, old man, please get up quickly!" Zhu Youcong jumped out of the car and helped several old men kneeling in the middle of the road one by one. He found that one of them was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! The common people can't believe that the young prince is so generous!" The old man who was very familiar to Zhu Youcong stubbornly took the lead and knelt down again, holding a bowl of hot soup with trembling hands and said: "That day
Thanks to the young prince's rescue, none of the hungry people among us fell to death on the roadside. We all came to Luoyang after discussing. Here, thanks to the protection of Prince Fu, I was allowed to wait outside the city to reclaim wasteland. Today I heard that the young prince returned to the house, and the common people endured this.
A bowl of chicken soup to express my gratitude! I also asked the young prince to drink it as a compliment!"
Only then did Zhu Youcong remember that the old man in front of him was the hungry man he met on the way to Beijing. Now it seems that his face is much better than last time; but he is still in ragged clothes. He doesn't know if he spent the bowl of chicken soup.
All the savings were made.
Zhu Youcong looked at the many people on the roadside and couldn't help but feel sad. At first, he didn't make much, just a bowl of hot porridge. Now the people spontaneously came out of the city to kneel down to welcome him. How could he bear it? He quickly
He bowed his hands, bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Fellow folks, please get up! Xiao Wang's ability was limited that day and he couldn't help everyone. Everything we have now is achieved by ourselves. Xiao Wang is not worthy of it.
Folks, please get up quickly!"
"The young prince is so benevolent and righteous!" The old man continued to hold the chicken soup and knelt down in front of Zhu Youcong. "Since entering the customs, if it had not been for the rescue of the young prince, I don't know how many of us would have gone bankrupt. Our lives would have been ruined."
It was given by the young prince. It is a pity that the common people have nothing to offer in return. I asked the young prince to drink this soup, which will relieve his fatigue a little." After saying this, the old man raised his hands high and touched his head to the ground.
The people on the roadside also grabbed the ground with their heads and shouted loudly, "My dear prince, please drink this soup!"
"Young prince, just drink this soup!" Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the people on the roadside and said: "This is the sincerity of the people. The people's heart cannot be bullied! Please, young prince, just obey the public opinion!"
"I'll drink, I'll drink!" Zhu Youcong took the bowl of heart-warming hot soup and drank it all with tears.
The old man took the empty bowl and shouted with the people on the roadside: "Send the young prince back to his hometown!"
Most of these tens of thousands of people spontaneously came to the roadside to wait before dawn. However, the refugees were not eligible to enter the city. They just kowtowed to the ground quietly until Zhu Youcong's motorcade disappeared inside the city gate. It gradually dispersed!
Back at Prince Fu's Mansion, there was a lot of commotion in the lobby. The two brothers Zhu Yousong and Zhu Youqu were clamoring to become monks; Zhu Youhua was clamoring to become a Taoist priest; and Prince Fu held his fat head and talked to the princess. The people on the sidelines kept lamenting! What are this family doing? Hey - it's not the imperial edict that Zhu Youcong brought back that caused the trouble. The family doesn't know the situation, but they all stubbornly believe that the throne will only be held in the future. It could be Zhu Youcong who inherited it. The helpless Zhu Youcong had to drive away the servants and patiently explained to them that this was a conspiracy between himself and the emperor to hide the truth.
After finally convincing his relatives, Zhu Youcong dragged his tired body back to his small courtyard after dinner. Lying on his bed, all the furnishings in front of him were exactly the same as before he entered Beijing, and the room was also the same. Otherwise, it can be seen that someone comes to clean the place every day. "I'm finally home. It feels so good to be home!"
