Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 158 True Love
After a few days of rest, Zhu Houzhao's body basically returned to normal.

The previous talk about going out for a southern tour was all denied by the cabinet and others. The reason was that Zhu Houzhao had not been on the throne for less than a year, and he must not go out within a year, so this matter was temporarily put on hold.

During the morning court once every three days, Zhu Houzhao came to Xuanzheng Hall as normal.

"Report! Report!"

As soon as he went to court, a guard came from outside to report.

"Qizou Your Majesty, a good news came from the Datong Mansion. The terrifying general Ling Luoshi repelled the Oirat tribe, wiped out 14 enemies, and captured [-] Oirat troops, with more than [-] forces in depth."

The sudden sound of the good news outside the door attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked out of the hall.

Annihilating 14 enemies with more than [-] forces in depth, this is a real victory!

The ministers were very excited one by one.

People are in high spirits during happy events. After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao also showed a long-lost smile on his face.

"Submit it to me!"

Xiao Fangzi trotted down from the side quickly, and presented the memorial up on a tray.

Zhu Houzhao unfolded the memorial and read it, and then laughed in the hall. His hearty voice echoed in the palace, making people feel that the voice was full of pride.

In a corner of the Xuanzheng Hall, Ouyang Jing felt that Zhu Houzhao's smile today was full of masculinity, which was a manifestation of a person's spiritual saturation.

Not only the great victory on the front line, but more importantly, she also saw today's government affairs. This is the court hall of the entire Ming Dynasty. All national policies and everyone's development come from here.

What's more, she felt the emperor's demeanor. Although there was only a 16-year-old boy in the court, he was so brave and wise.

In Ouyang Jing's memory, the emperor always looked chic and suave, never bothered by trivial matters, even if there was a problem with the youngest maid, he would never target anyone.

A year ago, Bai Xue ran into His Majesty's arms by mistake because she went the wrong way. Not only did he not trouble Bai Xue, he even took her in, which changed her entire destiny.

After Liu Ruyue was beaten into limbo, Zhu Houzhao personally rescued her. Although this time it was her own fault and she could not blame anyone, at least His Majesty had tender feelings for her before.

Who doesn't like such a young emperor who is responsible, compassionate and moral?
He is not the previous Emperor Hongzhi. Although Emperor Hongzhi has been diligent all his life, he died of exhaustion on the throne in the end. This young emperor is much stronger than him, and she is still a girl now.

She was very envious of the beautiful girls left in Chuxiu Palace. If she became a beautiful girl like them, then she would have the opportunity to serve His Majesty. This was the result that everyone in their age group longed for.

It's just that Liu Ruyue, she really didn't know what she was thinking, maybe she was too obsessed with the concentration of power?Or do you really want to assassinate His Majesty?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Jing let out a long sigh.
Outside the capital.

Since Shangguan Haitang left the nunnery, she went directly to Hulong Villa.

The news that the No. [-] village in the world was leveled caused quite a disturbance in the martial arts world, and Shangguan Haitang was also ashamed to face others.

After all, it was where she had lived, and if she hadn't grown up there, she wouldn't have developed a strong affection for it.

When she recalled the scene when Cao Zhengchun bombarded No. [-] village in the world, her heart kept bleeding.

However, that is imperial power, and there is no way for individuals to stop it.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake in Hulong Villa, Shangguan Haitang was ecstatically looking at the center of the lake, staring blankly at the goldfish inside.

"When will Master come back?"

Just as Shangguan Haitang finished speaking, Duan Tianya's figure appeared in the lake pavilion.

"I haven't heard from Master yet. Master went to the capital and was arranged by His Majesty to stay in a post station in the capital. He has never had time to come out. It is said that he is going to fight Liaodong."

"No, you're wrong. You don't know His Majesty at all, and His Majesty will not let Master control the military, let alone let Master go to Liaodong."

"Then why?" Duan Tianya asked.

"You don't know that His Majesty is very suspicious of these vassal kings. The top ten generals in the nine border towns are the feudal officials appointed by His Majesty. If the master has too close contact with other generals, troubles will arise."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has always regarded military power as a treasure. How could he hand it over to these vassal kings so easily?"

Duan Tianya said: "Do you mean that His Majesty suspects that Master is in collusion with the frightening General Ling Luoshi?"

"Yes! That's what it means!"

Duan Tianya was silent after listening.

This little junior sister of hers often has a very special vision, and she is also very thorough in analyzing problems, and can hit the nail on the head every time. This time, the analysis is obviously very good.

The terrifying general Ling Luoshi was notorious when he was young, and many people hated him. Moreover, this Ling Luoshi was not only an official in the court, but also secretly had a group of brothers in the Jianghu.

Many people in the Jianghu want to get rid of Ling Luoshi, but he has the protection of the government, and no one can do anything to him.

At this time, Ling Luoshi defeated the Oarat army in Datong Mansion again, and was greatly loved by His Majesty. He would rather teach the military power to someone who is not related to him than to his own uncle.

Shangguan Haitang lightly touched her lower abdomen, she had a feeling that some kind of change was taking place in her body, and even she felt a little bit hard to exercise.

On top of that, she hasn't been red since that night, which is a big problem.

"Senior brother, do you think we will be in danger?" Shangguan Haitang asked Duan Tianya.

"No matter what happens, I will stand by your side and protect your safety."

Shangguan Haitang glanced affectionately at Duan Tianya, she understood what her senior brother meant.

"Aren't you the second-rank guard with a sword in the palace? If there is a war at that time, you may be against me!"

"No, I will protect your safety even if I die."

"Then let me ask you, if I am wanted by the government and become a most wanted person, will you still protect me?"

"How can you talk nonsense? It's impossible!"

"Impossible? Go outside and look at the wanted notices. I have already become a wanted object by the court. Don't you despise me?"

"No, no, even if you are beheaded, I am willing to go to hell with you!"

Shangguan Haitang took a warm look at Duan Tianya, his senior brother is really too cute.

"Well, let me tell you the truth, I will be wanted by the government at any time, so it is not safe for me to stay here. We need Master to come back as soon as possible to arrange our plan. If it is late, I can hardly imagine that our Hulong Villa will follow The best banker in the world has an ending.

Duan Tianya was silent for a long time, finally mustered up the courage, stepped forward and hugged Shangguan Haitang.
