Chapter 21: I Fight Everything for You

In the middle of the night, bad news came from the Zhu family's mansion that Zhou Rui, the Zhu family's son-in-law, died.

I heard that Zhou Rui's illness was very urgent this time, and the doctor came, and Zhou Rui exhaled his last breath under the doctor's nose.

Zhou Rui was very unwilling to die, at least in the doctor's opinion, his wife was amazingly beautiful and pregnant.

A person with thousands of family fortunes, and a beautiful lady, who is still pregnant with a child in her belly, should be a man's happiest moment, and when he dies at this time, no matter who he is, will struggle.

Because he was a son-in-law, the funeral could not be done in the main house, so the Zhu family specially purchased a small courtyard as a place to stop the soul, and Zhou Rui's beautiful lady took a few maids to send him on his last journey.

The Zhu family's mansion has always been very mysterious in Chang'an City, Chang'an City has real maids, and there is only one family of the courtyard father, and the maids and courtyard fathers of the rest of the families are just helpers hired by the main family, and they can leave at any time.

According to the laws of the imperial court, to determine whether a person is dead, it must be judged before it can really be regarded as dead, because Zhou Rui's illness was urgent, and he was worried that the disease would pass people, and after the examination, he asked Zhu to burn Zhou Rui's body in a hurry.

Therefore, when the spirit is stopped, all the corpses are placed in the halls of other people's homes, and the ashes are placed in their homes.

Zhu Yuwu, who is dressed in white, is not beautiful, and after she became pregnant, her temperament has changed a lot, and she is no longer the pitiful appearance of the past, but has a little more calmness and elegance.

She didn't cry when her husband died, but the mournful sound of the guzheng could often be heard from the small house she bought.

So much so that the literati in Chang'an City sighed - a desolate courtyard locked a lonely beauty.

Zhu Yuwu's appearance of playing the guzheng is simply fascinating.

This was said by Jin Hu.

The previous Zhu Yuwu did not leave such an impression on Jin Hu.

It can be seen that it is not enough for a woman to be good-looking, she also needs experience and talent to decorate.

Golden Tiger is a major general of the empire!

He has a great reputation in Southeast Asia and has a reputation for being invincible.

Although their exploits were valuable in the army, they were not as important as the wealth they had gained in Southeast Asia through war.

It was these riches that supported the Lantian Dynasty to complete the land reform, spread out education for all, and allowed the Lantian Dynasty to survive the saddest and difficult time of the founding of the country.

Nowadays, starting from Zhennanguan, there is a road that can directly reach Malacca, although this road is not easy to walk, but after having countless elephants, the golden tiger is using these elephants, and the wealth belonging to Southeast Asia is carried out of the vast forest sea little by little.

This road is a road of wealth for the Ming Dynasty, but for the natives of Southeast Asia, it is a road paved with flesh and blood.

A year ago, Jin Hu was summoned back to Yushan and entered the Phoenix Mountain Military School for further study, after this training, he will officially serve as the general of Lantian Empire Annam.

Hong Chengchou would serve as the governor of imperial Annam.

This Annam does not refer to the place of Cochin, almost the entire Indochina Peninsula, because the empire has major economic interests in the Indochina Peninsula, therefore, the Annam General's Office also has the largest number of troops, as many as 260,000.

Jin Hu had no objection to the arrangement of the imperial court, and the only thing he felt was that he had studied for too long this time.

The military academy arranged a very intensive curriculum for him, not only to read military books, but also to have special instructors responsible for teaching him, politics, economics, and philosophy and other subjects.

According to the Ministry of War, if he could not pass these courses, he would not be able to go to Annan to take up his post.

Jin Hu sat in the dormitory, watching the recruits shouting and running by outside the window, he sighed slightly, and refocused his eyes on the book of "Political Economy" on the table.

There is a price to pay for doing something wrong.

He stole with Zhu Yuwu. Love and having a child is not a big deal, after all, it is a very personal matter, but Zhu Yuwu killed Zhou Rui, this is not an ordinary mistake.

That night, after Zhu Yuwu ordered Zhou Rui to be killed, the people from the Ministry of Supervision did not alarm Zhu Yuwu, but directly found him Jinhu.

Poor Zhu Yuwu still thinks that she does things unknowingly.

Grounded for three months!

This is the final punishment given by the Ministry of Supervision after reviewing his golden tiger.

Jin Hu knows that from now on, as long as Zhu Yuwu does something, it will eventually be counted on his head.

He did not defend himself, let alone make any resistance, and accepted the punishment calmly.

When Xia Wanchun left Yushan, he once asked him for a drink. Asked him about his views on Southeast Asia, Jin Hu didn't say what he thought, even though he clearly knew that Xia Wanchun came to ask questions, which was basically what the emperor meant.

Therefore, it took him three days to write "Nothing to Do in Southeast Asia" and sent it to the emperor's desk through the Ministry of War.

Jin Hu didn't believe in Xia Wanchun, he had never trusted, he would not hesitate to hand over his back to Xia Wanchun when fighting together, and after returning to Guanzhong, as long as he knew that Xia Wanchun appeared within a hundred zhang of his surroundings, he would have one eye open even if he slept.

When he was in the academy, Xia Wanchun was his mortal enemy of Mu Tiantao.

When he was in the capital, Xia Wanchun cooperated with Mu Tiantao.

In the year since he returned to Yushan to complete his final studies, he Jinhu and Xia Wanchun have been inseparable.

It's not just the origins that disagree, but also the insights!

I didn't finish the book, but when it was time to eat, a young over-the-top recruit came to the door of his room with a food box, and after shouting the report, he entered the door, laid out the meal for the day, and left.

Jin Hu sat on the edge of the table expressionlessly and began to eat, the food in the military academy is good, there are many variety, today's vegetarian dish is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, meat dishes are fried pork with chili, there is no rice, only a big pot of noodles and a bowl of vegetable soup.

Jin Hu poured the two dishes into the basin, stirred them, and ate them in a big gulp.

The duration of study was extended by three months...... Later military appointments may also change...... As long as he picks himself out when the people in the Ministry of Supervision ask him, these things will magically disappear.

However, Jin Hu did not do that, but told the people in the Ministry of Supervision that Zhou Rui was killed by him.

That weak woman can't afford this kind of thing!

He knew very well why the woman who had endured for many years would take the risk of killing that Zhou Rui.

It's all for him.

I don't want him to feel half humiliated.

After eating a pot of noodles, Jin Hu felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Then, he saw Yun Zhao's cold eyes.

"The last general will see Your Majesty."

Jin Hu knelt down on one knee and said.

"You're interceding for that stupid woman?"

Yun Zhao's voice was cold, and there seemed to be ice hidden between his teeth.

"Back to Your Majesty, that's my woman, my child, if the last general doesn't even have this responsibility, Your Majesty will look down on the last general even more."

"Bastard!"

Jin Hu lowered his head, not daring to meet Yun Zhao's sharp gaze.

"You don't think you won't be able to play Annan without me, do you?"

Jin Hu bowed his head and said: "My Lantian is like a cloud, and my ministers are like rain, no more than me, no less than me." ”

"You're pampered and arrogant!"

"Your Majesty said yes."

Yun Zhao took two steps out of the window with his hands behind his back, looked back at Jin Hu and said, "You always have to make a choice." ”

Jin Hu raised his head and said: "When the last general returned to Yushan from the capital, he had already made a choice, and he swore to serve my Ming Dynasty." ”

When Yun Zhao heard this, the frost on his face disappeared a little, and he sighed slightly and said: "Why is it that the eldest husband has no wife, you just chose the worst choice, now, I can still tolerate you a little, and when the imperial laws are complete, you will kill you if you do this." ”

Jin Hu said in a low voice: "The reason why the last general has a big package is that he knows that His Majesty will give the last general a way to live. ”

Yun Zhao looked at the golden tiger and said: "You shed blood for the empire, you fought for the empire, I remember every credit you have made, in the next generation, I am most optimistic about you and Xia Wanchun."

Now, Xia Wanchun has set off for the Western Regions, what about you? Ready to continue your studies here? ”

Jin Hu raised his head violently and looked at the emperor and said with tears: "Your Majesty, I am like this, I will not betray the empire, you want me to abandon that poor woman, and Weichen will not."

Zhu Ming is dead, they don't have the ability to make any more waves, if there is, without His Majesty's words, Weichen will strangle him cleanly.

I beg your majesty to be gracious. ”

Yun Zhao said hatefully: "Being able to allow them to live is already my greatest kindness. ”

"I beg Your Majesty to be gracious, and Weichen is willing to guarantee with his life."

"Your entire Mu Wangfu clan is now placed in Luoyang, I heard that life is good, this is all your credit.

I deliberately changed your name, just to make you break off with the past, you are not angry, for the sake of a mere woman, you gave up a good future, and you want to take your Mu Wangfu, is it really worth it? ”

"Wechen has seen Emperor Chongzhen of the previous dynasty, at that time he was already crazy, carrying a short hammer like a headless goshawk bumping east and west, panicking like a lost dog.

When Minister Han was drinking with him, Weichen was close to the left, and Weichen watched him give up the wine, choose the wine, and drank all the pot of wine, and the seven orifices of the drink were still bleeding.

Before he died, he was still shouting - Da Ming is over, Da Ming is over.

Your Majesty, Zhu Ming is really finished, at that time, Wei Chen actually had an indescribable joy in his heart, because Wei Chen knew that only when Zhu Ming was finished, I Lantian could save the people of the world.

If there is no death, where is life?

Weichen cheered for His Majesty, cheered for the new Daming, and cheered for the people of the world.

However, Zhu Yuwu is just a poor woman, everything she does is done out of fear, Weichen can abandon Emperor Zhu Ming, but he can't give up this woman.

Because, this woman is the only remaining bit of conscience and righteousness of Weichen. ”
