Chapter 114: No Good People Surnamed Zhu
A series of appointments also came out of the Beizhen Prefecture Department. Zeng Jian served as the 100 households in Donghuamen, Wu Tao served as the 100 households in Zhangjiaxiang, and Zhou Fang served as the 100 households in Zhangjiaxiang. As for other arrangements, there are also many. One day, the emperor and the ministers are the eternal rule. However, it often takes a process for the chief officials to take office, but the 100 households in the Neidongcheng are changing very quickly. There are many factors here. On the one hand, the thousand households in Hao Fenglou were awarded by the palace, which is different from the ordinary. On the other hand, the core figures of the Beizhen Prefecture Department have not yet recovered and are unwilling to cause trouble at this time.
Therefore, everything went smoothly, and even Hao Fenglou felt it was incredible.
What's even more ridiculous is that Zhu Jian, the deputy Qianhu, came to visit him. Lord Zhu suffered a lot of losses, but now his legs and feet are still limping. As a result, Qianhu has settled down, and he is still a deputy Qianhu. What's even more sad is that Qianhu is still a strong person. At this moment, he felt that there was no hope in life and came to greet Hao Fenglou obediently, for fear of giving Hao Fenglou a bad impression.
A series of appointments added to the festive celebration of the New Year. Everyone planned to celebrate the New Year, so they didn't want to do business. When they arrived at the Thousand Households, they just gathered together to chat for a few words, and never mentioned any official duties.
However, when His Majesty asked someone to stare at Honglu Temple, Hao Fenglou made arrangements. King Ning should keep an eye on it even more closely. However, King Ning seemed to be scared for a moment, and he didn't seem to do anything until he left the door.
And in the backyard.
Zhu Zhiling rushed to the depths of the Houyuan under the guidance of the eunuch.
She had originally investigated the clues about Jianwen in Tongzhou, but for some reason she suddenly returned to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a rock in her heart had fallen to the ground. However, she did not go to see Hao Fenglou, but came to see Empress Xu first.
For her, as long as that guy is fine. That's enough, and as for seeing him or not, that's another matter.
He quickly walked through many corridors, passed through the palaces and pavilions of Qionglou and Yuyu, and arrived at the harem.
"Empress..." After entering the hall, Zhu Zhiling saluted.
"Ling'er." Empress Xu was very enthusiastic when she saw her. Zhu Zhiling once went to Peking and sought protection at the Princess Yan's Mansion. She had a close relationship with Princess Xu at that time, who was now Queen Xu. When Empress Xu saw her, she quickly walked up to her and grabbed Zhu Zhiling's tenderness: "You've lost weight."
"Is the Empress crying?" Zhu Zhiling noticed something was wrong. Empress Xu's eyes were a little red. There were a little tears on her face like a goose egg.
Queen Xu quickly turned her face aside: "It's nothing." As soon as she finished speaking, she choked up: "Why are we women so embarrassed like this..."
Zhu Zhiling was startled. The Queen Xu she knew was dignified and generous, and had never lost her composure. But today, there was no dignity in the mother of the country. She quickly helped Queen Xu sit on the couch and said, "What's wrong?"
Empress Xu was the daughter of Xu Da, the general's tiger. The Xu family was in the Ming Dynasty and had an extraordinary status. Moreover, Empress Xu had three sons, the eldest son was the crown prince, followed by the Han king. Finally, King Zhao. These three were Zhu Di's only bloodline. Although Zhu Di and a concubine had a son, this son died prestige, so Empress Xu's status was extremely stable. On the one hand, she was the queen, and on the other hand, the Xu family had prestige in the army. Again, her two sisters, one married the King of Dai Zhu Gui and the other married the King of An Zhu Ying, and had a great influence in the royal family. Not to mention that the three sons must be the emperor and the vassal king in the future. With such a status, even Zhu Di must give in to three points.
But today, the queen Xu kept wiping her tears and said, "What's the matter? Of course it's a housework. Oh, my brother, I think you know that. When His Majesty raised an army to recuperate, he followed Jianwen to resist stubbornly and repeatedly defeated the Northern Army. His Majesty decided to dominate the world. He guarded his father's ancestral hall alone and refused to welcome him. His Majesty was furious about this and had to imprison him at home. Didn't His Majesty punish King Ning a few days ago? Suddenly he remembered the brother of this palace.
He was ordered to enter the palace. He originally wanted to say a few good words. The family was harmonious and everyone would always be happy. Everyone would have a good New Year. It was a pity that everyone would have to spend the New Year. Who knew that my brother was stubborn and dared not refuse to admit his mistakes. He was still quarreling with His Majesty in the palace. You know His Majesty's character. When he got angry, no one could stop him. Even the Palace didn't dare to go. Now... Now... I'm afraid that our Xu family will really be extinct."
Zhu Zhiling knew the so-called elder brother of Empress Xu. This person was Xu Huizu, the eldest son of Xu Da. After Xu Da passed away, he inherited the title and trained troops in Shaanxi, Beiping, Shandong and Henan several times. Because he was loyal to Jianwen, he led his troops to fight against Zhu Di, which caused Zhu Di to suffer a great loss several times. When Zhu Di entered Nanjing, he still stubbornly believed that Zhu Di was planning to usurp the throne and was very disrespectful to Zhu Di.
On one side is his husband and on the other side is his brother. Empress Xu is really embarrassed when she is sandwiched between her.
As he was talking, Zhao King Zhu Gaosui hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Mother, Mother, the father was furious. The father asked someone to take the sword, saying that he wanted to kill his uncle."
When Queen Xu heard this, her delicate body trembled: "It's over, it's over..."
Zhu Gaosui said: "My son does not allow eunuchs to pick up the sword, but my uncle yells to scold his father as a traitor and Cao Cao. His father is very angry..."
Empress Xu sighed: "No, I want to go there in person. You will gather your brothers, and no matter what, you will ask for this love."
Zhu Gaosui smiled wryly and said, "Father, don't let us go in." He then discovered Zhu Zhiling and couldn't help but say, "The fourth sister is here too? Are you back from Tongzhou?"
Seeing that the mother and son were like headless flies, Zhu Zhiling thought to himself and said, "Empress, I remembered someone, which may be able to resolve the current crisis."
"It's useless, it's hard for a clean official to make up for family affairs..." Empress Xu was a little desperate. She had two brothers with her mother and her brother Xu Zengshou secretly helped Zhu Di during the Jingnan Incident and was killed by Emperor Jianwen. Now only this brother is left, her face looks a little sallow and she sighs quietly.
Zhu Zhiling said: "You can give it a try. I know that a person has a way. No matter what it is, he always has a way. He called Hao Fenglou and the empress summoned him into the palace, and maybe it would be successful."
"Hao Fenglou..." Empress Xu murmured, not much impression.
Zhu Gaosui said, "Is it the one who is right with King Ning? The second brother often mentions him."
Zhu Zhiling said: "The matter is urgent, and the Empress also said that Your Majesty has a bad temper. If you are angry, I am afraid... it will be good to give it a try."
Empress Xu said, "Go and invite, Sui'er, you go in person, hurry up." At this time, he could only treat the dead horse as a living horse.
Zhu Gaosui was not vague and seemed to have gone. He had the closest relationship with his uncle. When the court asked Zhu Di's sons to come to Nanjing to be protons, although his uncle had different positions, he treated them very well. He suffered a lot of grievances in the capital as a proton. If Xu Huizu had not tried his best to protect him, he would not know what.
Empress Xu sighed bitterly: "If this Hao Fenglou could really... I will have a great reward."
Zhu Zhiling hesitated and said, "He has always wanted to marry Miss Lu. If the Empress can give her a marriage, he will be grateful." When he said this, Zhu Zhiling felt a little sad, as if he had lost something deep in his heart.
Queen Xu just nodded without saying a word.

Before Hao Fenglou could sit in the Qianhu Office, a team of guards appeared outside, and then someone rushed in recklessly. The man looked at the handsome face and was about to say hello, but who knew that the other party would not give him any room for reaction at all, and said to the face: "Hurry up, enter the palace, enter the palace..."
Hao Fenglou was invited into the palace like this, and the process was a little frustrated. Fortunately, he entered the gate of the imperial city. Zhu Gaosui said, "Things are urgent and all are negligent. But a big thing happened now. Someone recommended you, saying that you were all in the world and could do everything. My mother was worried, so she invited you."
Hao Fenglou was confused. This explanation was equivalent to saying nothing, whether it was going to heaven or earth, or his ability, he knew at most three feet high when he jumped into the ground, he was afraid that he would not be able to enter a few feet at the level of digging his own pit.
Hao Fenglou had to ask again. Zhu Gaosui couldn't wait and said, "You will know when you go to Fengtian Palace."
When I arrived at Fengtian Hall, before I even arrived at the gate of the hall, I heard someone roaring inside: "I don't have any place to let you down. You treat yourself badly. Have you forgotten how Zengshou died? That was also killed by Jianwen. You just blame me for not being able to persevere. Why didn't Jianwen blame him for killing Zengshou? He is your younger brother, your brother."
"Zengshou was killed by you. He was in the capital, but you sent someone to contact him. Don't you know that if you do this, you will kill him if the incident occurs? But you did it, you would not think of these things in order to be the emperor and your great cause. Your Highness, do you still have no regrets? Back then, the three of us were hunting together in Peking. What did Zengshou say? Zengshou said that we three brothers were in Peiping together..."
"Enough, enough, what a great prince, what a great prince, you are still obsessed with it!"
Hao Fenglou outside the hall felt a murderous aura coming to his face. He looked at Zhu Gaosui, but Zhu Gaosui was very rude and pushed Hao Fenglou directly.
Hao Fenglou stabilized his body and had to stagger forward two steps and go directly into the hall.
"Damn it, no good person in the surname Zhu." Hao Fenglou cursed in his heart.
