"The last general and the last general thanked Zhou Jishan." Lu Zhong clasped his fists and bowed in a real way.

Although he is already a powerful faction among the Jinyiwei and is in the imperial heart, if he wants to take charge of the entire guard alone, not only Zhu Ji is an obstacle that cannot be avoided, but even other powerful factions in the guard will compete with him.

Now that I can learn about Zhu Ji’s retirement in advance, my chances of winning will increase greatly, but I can make a calm plan. Zhou Qinchuan gave him a wealth and honor with just one word.

Gao Jin was jealous. Seeing Zhou Qinchuan and Ma Qing and Lu Zhong chatting enthusiastically, he did not continue to speak amazing words. He knew that this trip would not be his own, but he was not discouraged. He just went to the palace. How could everyone have benefits?

When the three of them were in full swing, Gao Jinfang spoke carefully:

"Mr. Ji Shan, did you tell the young generals to pay attention to Zhang Fu a few days ago? There is news."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Zhou Qinchuan naturally would not ignore Zhang Fu. There is such a person who is disgusting like a fly. He can't help but not pay attention to him. It's better to get rid of such a scum early.

"Qi Qiang, Mr. Ji Shan, this guy Zhang Hu, hehe, it's really." Gao Jin shook his head and told the news he had inquired out.

As the three of them listened, they all had a somewhat obscene smile on their faces. After Gao Jin finished speaking, Zhou Qinchuan thought for a moment, gathered all the people together, and kept whispering orders.

The three dog legs nodded and smiled. They were obviously very interested in Zhou Qinchuan's idea. After a moment of discussion, they said goodbye.

Zhang Mao was wearing a mourning robes and a heavy face. There was a book on the desk, but he had no intention of watching it.

It has been half a month since my grandmother passed away, and what I should do has been done, and the rest is to keep a quiet period of filial piety.

The so-called second uncle only came back hurriedly when he was buried, and then returned to the Tongzhou camp under the pretext of busy military affairs, and pushed all the matters during the mourning period to him.

This guy was in charge of the money and property in the mansion openly and secretly, but he was as stingy as an iron rooster. It would be useless to quarrel with him after a trip to the Tongzhou camp. If he hadn't had his shamelessness, the Zhang Mansion would have been embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mao became even more angry and clenched his fists hatefully. If Zhang Fu dared to appear, he would definitely hit him with a peach blossom on his face.

"Young master, someone is visiting." At this moment, a servant came closer to report.

"During mourning, you don't know that you won't see any guests?" Zhang Mao glanced at the servant with anger.

The lower man hunched over and explained carefully:

"Young Master, the one who came to Ding Guo Duke, the young man dared not just reply like this."

Duke Ding Guo? Didn’t Ding Guo Xu Xianzhong die in the early years of Jingtai? Zhang Mao was in a daze and then remembered that it was Xu Yongning, the son of Xu Xianzhong who had just inherited his title.

It turned out that it was him, so he really couldn't just send it away. Rules are all restraining ordinary people. If you have a noble status, you naturally don't have to keep your rules.

You should know that what made their Zhang family famous was his grandfather Zhang Yu, who was the number one hero of the Jingnan Dynasty by Emperor Yongle Zhu Diyun and was granted the title of Duke Rong. Since then, the Zhang family has become one of the martial arts honors of the Ming Dynasty.

But even so, the Zhang family is not among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Xu Yongning, who visited today, is even more important than their Zhang family.

Xu Yongning was the great-grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. As for Xu Da, there is no need to say more. He was the famous founding official of the Ming Dynasty. His descendants inherited the title of Duke of Wei.

Then why did Xu Yongning inherit the Duke of Ding? Then we have to talk about Xu Da's fourth son Xu Zengshou.

During the Jingnan Dynasty, Xu Zengshou was optimistic about Zhu Di, who was still the King of Yan at that time, and secretly communicated with him. After being discovered by Emperor Jianwen, he was killed for his crime of having an affair with the Yan army.

After Zhu Di successfully ascended the throne, in the second year of Yongle, he posthumously named Xu Zengshou as Duke of Ding, and was hereditary.

Therefore, the Xu family was a family of two countries. They took all the credit for the founding of the country and Jingnan. The Zhang family obviously lacked enough qualifications in front of them.

Although Xu Yongning is a young man, he has just inherited the title of Duke Ding and visited him, so how could he be sent to him at will?

Moreover, Zhang and Xu have a good personal relationship. Zhang Mao and Xu Yongning grew up together as young as a child and are also considered good friends. This time, Zhang Mao’s grandmother Wang passed away, and Xu Yongning contributed money and efforts, but helped a lot.

"Hurry and invite me." Zhang Mao's words changed his mind again, "Forget it, I'll go to greet you in person."

The servant followed behind and whispered, "Duke Ding has already taken his men to the front hall and sit down."

Is that so, this kid is really not polite. Zhang Mao nodded slightly after hearing this, saying that he knew and did not blame his servants. At the same time, he thought while walking, what happened to Xu Yongning, the kid, came here today, and showed that he had just attacked the title of Duke Ding?

Thinking of this, Zhang Mao felt unlucky. The Zhang family was also ashamed of two dukes, but they couldn't take any of them. If it weren't for Zhang Fu's obstruction, he would have inherited his father's Duke of England when he ascended the throne. Why did it give Xu Yongning the opportunity to show off?

Thinking about his thoughts, Zhang Mao came to the front hall. As soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by someone in the room before he could see Xu Yongning.

This man is tall, with wide arms and round waist. He sits on a Hu chair far taller than others. He has a fierce expression and a sense of oppression. His faint aura is even worse than the defenders in the army that Zhang Mao has seen.

"Brother Xu, who is this person?"

"Brother Zhang, I'm about to introduce you to you. This is Ji Shan, Zhou, Qinchuan, and Brother Zhou, who was young and powerful in Guanxi. He is really good at Guanxi. I know that you are like me and have always admired heroes. I just met Brother Zhou, so I specially invited him over. We have to get close to you."

At this time, most of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty could no longer go to the battlefield, but the extravagance had not yet been popularized. Young men like Zhang Mao and Xu Yongning still yearned for the bravery of their ancestors. Although they were not good enough, they did not prevent them from getting close to each other, and even worshiped those warriors who expanded their territory for the Ming Dynasty.

The Olawei quickly pacified Guanxi and at the same time suppressed the Western Regions countries to the capital to pay tribute, the incident spread in the capital. Among them, the chief ministers Wang Yue and Ji Shan Zhou and Qinchuan have become heroes worshipped by the people of the Ming Dynasty because of their Han identities. Young masters and young marquis like Xu Yongning have heard of them.

When he saw Zhou Qinchuan, who was similar to his age, naturally his favorability increased greatly.

The Olawei? Zhang Mao browed tightly. To be honest, he had a bad impression of this garrison at first. Although the case of the Golden Sword and White Lotus last year was a trouble caused by Zhang Fu, the one who made the Zhang Mansion messy was the soldiers of the Olawei.

However, a few days ago, the Walawei sent someone to send him 100 taels of gold, which shows his sincerity. Both sides have no friendship, and this money can be regarded as a timely help.

Now that he saw the other party in charge, as Xu Yongning said, he was very similar to the young hero in his mind. Judging from the previous share of 100 taels of gold, the little grudge in Zhang Mao's heart finally disappeared.

"I've met the young master." Zhou Qinchuan bowed according to the rules.

"Oh, don't call me that. I'm not Xu Yongning, I haven't inherited the title yet. I have the word "官网" and I should call me Tingmian." Zhang Mao waved his hand and said he didn't dare to take it.
