Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 253 Father, when did our Daming gain a Xuanwu Guard?
Although the emperor made it clear that the assassin must be caught, otherwise he will come to see him.

But the two tigers didn't care about that, they just led hundreds of guards, surrounded the emperor's carriage, surrounded the emperor non-stop all the way back to the palace.

It was not until the emperor was safely sent back to the palace, and the Qianqing Palace was surrounded by the way, that he went to inquire about the assassin.

Zhu Yan originally wanted to go back to the palace, but he was coerced into the palace because of such an affair.

Lao Zhu returned to Qianqing Palace and immediately issued a series of imperial orders.First, the level of protection in the palace was strengthened, and then the soldiers and horses of the five cities were ordered to blockade the inner and outer cities of the capital.In the end, Yingtianfu, the Forbidden Army, and Jinyiwei were strictly ordered to go out and search for the assassin with all their strength.

After Lao Zhu was busy with all this, he found time to drink tea, but when he was drinking a big bowl of tea, he suddenly found that Xiao Nisun had disappeared.

"Where's our grandson?"

Zhu Bian's heart trembled when he heard this, he hurriedly looked around, only to see the huge palace, where is the half figure of the grandson?

"Just now I saw him sitting on the side, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye!"

Old Zhu was furious when he heard the words, and when he thought of Ni Sun clamoring in the carriage to catch the assassin, he felt even more nervous.

"Look for it!"

"Come here, seal the gate of the palace, and never allow Zhu Yunxie to run out of the palace!"

"Find that grandson and bring him to us immediately!"

"promise!"

After Lao Zhu said this, he was so angry that he threw the teacup on the ground heavily, and all the eunuchs fell to their knees in fright.

Zhu Wei led dozens of guards and searched the entire Qianqing Palace. Just when he thought Zhu Yunxi had sneaked out, he suddenly heard movement in the direction of Yuehua Gate.

He hurried over with his people, only to see several guards with knives who were born after the lords, carrying a naughty boy to this side.

Seeing King Jin approaching, Xu Zengshou immediately stepped forward to salute.

"The humble official paid a visit to His Royal Highness King Jin. I just came here on a tour, and suddenly saw the third emperor's grandson climbing over the wall..."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't run out, Zhu Wei felt a big stone in his heart fall to the ground.He snatched Zhu Yunxi away, and then clamped Zhu Yunxi under his arm like a rag doll.

"what!"

"You look somewhat familiar, but are you the fourth son of Xu Da's family?"

"what do you say that is……"

"Humble post Xu Zengshou!"

"Yep!"

"Gu remembers that when you were young, you always followed the fourth child, pestering him for candy, and annoying the fourth child, I would hide when I saw you, hahaha!"

When Xu Zengshou heard this, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

How can he say that he is now a guard with a sword in the palace, a noble son who follows His Majesty the Emperor, and his status is much higher than that of Jin Yiwei.

Hastily being overthrown by King Jin, he will not be laughed to death by other guards in the future!

"His Royal Highness, that's all a long time ago, the humble job is now...now..."

Seeing Xu Zengshou's embarrassment, King Jin immediately led him to Qianqing Palace to return to his life.

"You are the hero who captured the third emperor's grandson, hurry up and get the reward with Gu Jingong Miansheng!"

If it was an ordinary guard, Zhu Yan would just dismiss it with a few compliments.However, what he met was the son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, so he had to sell the Xu family's face more or less.

Although the Xu family is related to King Yan, Xu Huizu, the contemporary Duke of the Xu family, has been friends with him since childhood.

Xu Zengshou was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he still pretended to be modest.

"This is all a matter of humble duty, how dare you ask His Majesty for a reward?"

Zhu Bian didn't care about that, grabbed Xu Zengshou's arm, and led him to his father's bedroom.

"Don't be polite to Gu, what friendship do our two families have?"

"Your elder brother wrote to Gu this year, saying that Gu will find you an errand in the frontier army. With some military merits, you can earn a title in the future."

"It's just that there are too many things this year, and the eldest brother of the prince passed away unfortunately, so it has been delayed until now."

"I just took this opportunity to let you show your face in front of the father, and then begged you to go to the father. When I return to Jinyang, I will take you back directly. Maybe I can take advantage of the east wind of Liang Guogong." , I’ll give you some military merit too, and get an earl directly, hahaha!”

When Xu Zengshou heard this, he was both moved and guilty. He had been dissatisfied with his elder brother before, and felt that his elder brother inherited the title of the Xu family, so he didn't care about their younger brothers.

Now that I heard His Royal Highness King Jin's words, I realized that I had misunderstood my elder brother.It turns out that the eldest brother has been trying his best to find a way for him, but he has never mentioned it to him...

"Humble job... Thank you, Your Highness, for your support..."

Zhu Yun came to Lao Zhu with Zhu Yunxi in his arms, and threw Zhu Yunxi to the ground.

"Father, my son has brought back your precious grandson!"

Seeing that his eldest grandson was safe and sound, Lao Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded this rebellious grandson for not letting him worry at all.

"Grandfather, Uncle Erhu is really bad, his brain is not good, and he will definitely not be able to catch the assassin!"

"You always let me out of the palace, let me take people to catch the assassin!"

"Grandfather, I'm really not bragging. You forgot the city wall prophecy case last time. I broke it!"

The more Lao Zhu listened, the more angry he became, he was almost frightened to death, and this Ni Sun was still thinking about going out to catch the assassin!

"Xiao Nisun, why did we tell you in the carriage just now?"

"Come here, hang this Nisun up!"

When Lao Zhu said this, he saw that Ni Sun was still dissatisfied, so he immediately added another sentence.

"Take it off and hang it on the beam!"

Zhu Yunxi panicked on the spot when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Grandfather, let's not be like this, let's talk if we have something to say..."

However, Lao Zhu didn't have the mood to talk to him, he waved his hand to the guards in brocade clothes beside him, motioning them to drag him away quickly.

"Third Uncle, don't just watch the excitement, you are begging for me instead!"

Standing aside, Zhu Yan secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that I still want to hit you, how could I plead for you!

Seeing that his elder nephew was being dragged down, Zhu Yan reported what happened just now.

"Father, you can successfully capture your precious grandson this time, thanks to Xu Zengshou, the fourth son of Uncle Xu's family, king of Zhongshan. You have to reward him well."

"Otherwise, your eldest grandson will climb over the wall and run away!"

Old Zhu saw that Zhu Fen intended to support that kid, so he immediately sold Zhu Fen to save face.

As soon as Xu Zengshou entered the main hall, he saw a brat who had been stripped down to a pair of underpants hanging on the beam at the door. Even though he knew he shouldn't laugh at this time, he still couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhu Yunxi dared to laugh at himself when he saw Xu Zengshou, it can be said that new and old hatreds are added together.

"Xu Zengshou, you are waiting for Gu, who will hang you on the gate of the city one day to bleed you!"

When Xu Zengshou heard this threat, he quickly put away his smile, and then apologized to Zhu Yunxi.

"His Royal Highness, please calm down. The humble position is also the responsibility. If you offend me, I hope you will forgive me a lot!"

Zhu Yan heard the conversation between the two, and immediately called Xu Zengshou over.

"Zengshou, you don't need to talk to that grandson, hurry up and pay your respects to His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Xu Zengshou hurriedly walked a few steps to bow down in front of Lao Zhu.

"Humble post Xu Zengshou, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor..."

Although Xu Zengshou can often see His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty may not be able to see him, and even if he does, he may not notice him.

After all, the emperor had too many guards, not to mention Jinyiwei and Yubayashiwei, but just talking about their meritorious sons, there were hundreds of them on duty in the palace, how could the emperor recognize them?

"You did a good job this time, let's reward you with a thousand households of Jinyiwei."

Normally speaking, the position of the Jinyiwei Qianhu is not low, and as long as the Jinyiwei Qianhu works for a few years without any mistakes, there is a high probability that it will become a hereditary Qianhu, which is equivalent to an iron job.

Xu Zengshou is also quite satisfied with this reward. The reason why he wants to make military achievements is not just to earn fame for himself?

Jinyiwei's thousands of households are neither big nor small, which can be regarded as a very good reputation.

As for the lord and the like, he just thought about it in his dreams, and didn't dare to hope that he would definitely earn it.

However, he was not in a hurry to thank him, but waited for Zhu Yan's words.

"Father, my son promised Xu Huizu before that he would take Zengshou to the army to practice, so that he can serve the court better!"

"Is that so..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he almost agreed, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ni Sun swinging on the beam again, and his heart was furious, so he rejected Zhu Yan's proposal on the spot.

"When you say that, we think of something!"

"Xuanwuwei still lacks a commander, let Xu Zengshou go there to be the commander!"

As soon as Lao Zhu said this, Zhu Yan and Xu Zengshou were dumbfounded.

The two mentally arranged all the guards in Daming, but they didn't know what this "Xuanwu Guard" was.

"Father, when did our Daming gain a Xuanwu Guard? Did you set it up recently?"

Xu Zengshou also looked at His Majesty the Emperor with burning eyes. The commander is much larger than the officials of Qianhu, but where is this Xuanwu Guard? He has been working in the palace all the time, and he has never heard of such a place!

Old Zhu laughed when he heard the words.

"It wasn't set up recently, it was set up just now!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yan couldn't help showing a thoughtful look on his face. Just when he couldn't figure it out, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He suddenly thought of seeing Zhu Yunxi's privately organized "private army" outside the city. The Xuanwuwei, shouldn't be referring to this?

"Father, you mean the school for the children of craftsmen?"

Old Zhu nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and seeing his father's expression on his face, Zhu Min immediately felt relieved.

Since the father wants to turn his nephew's "private army" into a regular army, it proves that he is not annoyed by this matter and is happy to see it succeed.

"On behalf of my eldest nephew and elder brother, I have thanked my father for your kindness!"

Zhu Yan's words are not polite, Daming has never heard that the prince and grandson had a private guard before he came to the feudal domain.

The old man's move, on the surface, was a trick for Zhu Yunxi, a wild horse, but in fact it also gave him the title of "organizing and training a private army", indirectly acknowledging that he legally owned an army.

Zhu Yan and Lao Zhu smiled tacitly, only Xu Zengshou was stunned when he heard it.

"You go to be on duty first, and someone will give you a warning in a few days, and someone will take you to the post!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the old emperor obviously had no intention of explaining, Xu Zengshou could only leave with this doubt.

But when he walked to the door, he was again verbally threatened by Zhu Yunxi.

Xu Zengshou didn't feel anything when he heard this, and Lao Zhu really looked depressed when he heard it, thinking that this grandson has been hung up, and he still doesn't know how to restrain himself.

As soon as Xu Zengshou left the Qianqing Palace, the two tigers ran in and reported the latest progress to Lao Zhu.

"Report to Your Majesty, the ineffectiveness of the humble post has caused the villain to run out of the city!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt displeased when he heard this.However, before he could say anything, the grandson who was hanging on the beam started again.

"Grandfather, what did I just say, I have already reminded you, Erhu is not smart enough to catch people at all!"

"Hurry up and order someone to put me down. I'll go and check the scene. If I'm not sure, I can catch the assassin back!"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu got up from his chair angrily, walked to Zhu Yunxi angrily, saw that he was still wearing underpants, and reprimanded the guards in brocade clothes on the spot.

"Are you deaf, why did you leave him a pair of pants!"

Jin Yiwei originally wanted to strictly abide by the emperor's order, but the third grandson gave too much, secretly stuffed a gold leaf into each of them, and then left him a pair of underpants.

But now that the emperor is angry, he has to tear off his last fig leaf.

"Grandpa Huang, I'll shut up, I won't talk anymore, you should show me some face!"

"Don't pull my pants... I'll fight with you..."

Seeing that Dasun was really struggling, Lao Zhu saved him some face.

"Okay, stop it!"

"If he dares to make noise again, there is no need to save face for him!"

Zhu Yunxi embraced the last innocence, and hurriedly sent a rainbow fart to Lao Zhu.

"Grandson, I would like to thank Grandpa Huang for his compassion. Grandson promises to shut up and not interrupt!"

Seeing that the hall was finally quiet, Lao Zhu sat down on the dragon chair again to listen to Erhu's report.

"My lord, that villain is so cunning that he was hung on a kite, pulled by someone riding a fast horse, and turned over from the top of the city."

"Although the low-ranking people have captured the respondent, but that person has already taken the severe poison, and he was already dead when he was caught."

"Humble official ordered people to search outside the city, only found the ashes of a kite on the ground, but the villain disappeared without a trace."

When Lao Zhu heard this, black lines appeared on his forehead again.

The villain escaped by hanging on a kite, which is off the charts.It is even more unbelievable to chase outside the city without seeing anyone, leaving only a place of ashes.

"Did you really see the gangster hang from the kite and escape?"

"Return to the emperor, it is absolutely true, hundreds of brothers in Jinyiwei have seen it!"

Although Lao Zhu got Erhu's firm statement, he still had 1 unbelief on his face.

"How big is the kite that can hold people in it? There shouldn't be fraud here, right?"

"Continue to order people to search, search up and down Longguang Mountain carefully, don't let go of any clues!"

"promise!"

After Lao Zhu sent the two tigers away, the servants from the imperial dining room just rushed over.

"My lord, the imperial meal is ready, may I ask you to pass on the meal now!"

"pass!"

After Lao Zhu gave the order to pass the meal, he immediately looked at Zhu Min who was standing beside him.

"Third brother, accompany us to the side hall for dinner!"

"I thank my father for your kindness!"

"But let's go to dinner, it's not appropriate to hang up the eldest nephew, you might as well put him down, and let him have dinner with us before he can be punished..."

"Don't worry about him, he's very skinny!"

"When we're full, we'll give him a good meal, and it won't be too late to put him down for dinner!"
