An uninvited guest arrived here and sat in the flower hall, his eyes looking around, as if he was looking at the layout of the flower hall, and he seemed to be interested. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This person was wearing a Taoist robe, he was over forty years old, but he did not have the weight of middle age, although he held tea in his hand, he did not drink it, but his eyes fell on an autumn hunting map in the flower hall.

This kind of picture was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, that is, ordinary people will also buy a hanging in the house, the reader is generally not posted, most of them also think that this picture has a bit of martial spirit, to view the people, this Cheng Guogong must be a person who does not care about other people's opinions, such people are actually the most difficult to deal with.

The visitor took a sip of tea and changed his sitting position unhurriedly, and at this moment, a cough sounded outside the hall, and in the doorway, a thin figure appeared with his hand in his hand.

In the eyes of many people, Cheng Guogong should be a person with a tiger's back, after all, he participated in the military aircraft, garrisoned Nanjing, and had an army of 100,000, such a person must be a burly man, even if he is not as good as Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, it should be a little fierce.

But the person who came in was just wearing an ordinary robe, wearing an ordinary scarf, with a slender figure, and the bookish spirit was obviously much more than the fierce energy, the only difference was his eyes, his eyes were not like ordinary people looking left and right, but with a bit of sharpness, his eyes did not squint, even if his eyes occasionally moved, there was also a bit of arrogance of looking forward to himself.

The person who came hurriedly stood up and said, "Is this Zhu Gong?" ”

Zhu Fu stroked his beard slightly, his sharp eyes turned around the person who came, as if he had seen through the person at a glance, and in an instant, the sharpness in his eyes was exhausted, replaced by a kind color, Zhu Fu smiled slightly: "Don't dare, I haven't asked for the surname of the high." ”

"Contemptible Liu Chenggang, on the orders of King Ning, is here to give gifts."

Liu Chenggang...... This name Yanjing City may already be a household name, but in Nanjing, I am afraid that few people have heard of it, and if I hear that Liu Chenggang has come to Nanjing in Beijing, I am afraid that everyone will be shocked to drop their jaws.

For Zhu Fu, the name was bland, he just smiled and said lightly: "King Ning? I've never had any contact with King Ning, what's the matter, what did King Ning do in my humble house? ”

The meaning of this sentence is a bit different from the principle of hospitality, not only the words are cold, but also the meaning of expelling customers.

Liu Chenggang didn't think about it, and said: "The villain came not only to prepare a gift from King Ning, but also to settle the future affairs for the grandfather." ”

Zhu Fu's eyes narrowed, and the sharpness that had converged suddenly appeared again, and he snorted coldly in a low voice: "Oh? Are you here to be a lobbyist? ”

A word broke through Liu Chenggang's intention, so that Liu Chenggang was at a loss, he ran for King Ning, and he saw a lot of people, but people like Zhu Fu rarely dealt with him, this person gave Liu Chenggang a feeling, like a mountain, obviously this person has been cornered, but still with a sense of unfathomable and everything in his hands, Liu Chenggang stiffened his head and said: "King Ning is also for the sake of his grandfather, King Ning said, the prince has committed a crime, sooner or later it will affect the grandfather, affect the Zhu family, why not ......"

Zhu Fu squinted from beginning to end, and looked at Liu Chenggang with a sneer, in fact, what Liu Chenggang was here to do, he knew it clearly, he himself knew his own situation, he never imagined that his son would collude with King Ning, with his identity, of course, he also knew what it meant, he was not unshaken, once his son was convicted, the Zhu family would die. If he wants to survive in the dead, he can only take refuge in King Ning, join forces with King Ning, cooperate with the outside and take half of the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible without bloodshed, so that he can still be an auxiliary minister. But...... A trace of coldness flashed in Zhu Fu's eyes, and he did not hesitate to interrupt Liu Chenggang's words: "My Taizu is difficult to protect the country, and he fought with Emperor Wen in all directions, and between the suspense of life and death, I don't know what the back of the master is. When my grandfather was there, after the battle of Tumu Fort, he faced Harrier Ridge, died in ambush, and the 50,000 horsemen he commanded were gone. Although there is no merit, it is also considered a martyr. When my father was there, the country was peaceful, and he was favored by the imperial court, garrisoned Nanjing, and added the prince and concubine. The Zhu family has gone through four generations, and there has never been a person who has betrayed the Lord to seek glory, and now my Zhu family has been convicted, that is the number of fate, there is an unfilial son who fornicates with King Ning, that is also the misfortune of my Zhu family, but I want my Zhu Fu to make a mistake again and again, you go back and tell King Ning, this is wishful thinking, the two armies do not cut off, and King Ning is also my courtier, although King Ning is already Sima Zhao's heart, but now I will let you go back, if you dare to say more, don't blame me for taking your head today. ”

Liu Chenggang shuddered by his words, he looked at Zhu Fu in disbelief, it stands to reason that he is at least one thing certain, even if Zhu Fu does not obey, then he should hesitate again and again, how can he completely refuse this before he says it, but don't forget, if Zhu Fu does not obey, it will be a dead end.

Liu Chenggang said to Ai Ai: "This ...... Isn't Grandpa thinking about it for a while? You must know that once the grandfather and the prince ...... At least half of the country ......"

Zhu Fu put his hands behind his back, his body stood straight like a javelin, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Get out!" ”

Liu Chenggang was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, but he sneered in his heart: "If you don't obey today, it will be said that when you are escorted to the noon gate to give the head, you don't know how to raise it." It's just that under Zhu Fu's coercion, he didn't dare to say a word, so he had to say gloomily: "King Ning is kind, the grandfather doesn't know it, it's a pity, I hope the grandfather doesn't regret it, the villain said goodbye." ”

After that, he hurriedly left.

As soon as Liu Cheng left, Zhu Fu stood with his hands behind his back for a moment, then sighed facing the north, with indescribable regret and melancholy, he took a long breath, and the whole person aimlessly found a chair to sit down.

He couldn't imagine that his eldest son would do such a thing, and the matter seemed to be irreparable, if it was something else, maybe the court would forgive, but it involved collusion with the vassal kings, especially King Ning, and the end can be imagined?

Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and at the moment we can only wait to be killed, maybe in a few days, the will of the imperial court will come down, and at that time, there may be no more the famous Zhu family.

At this time, there were footsteps outside, and this time it was a doorman who came in, and the doorman bowed and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, there is an urgent letter of eight hundred miles, which was sent by Jinyiwei." ”

Due to the convenience of transportation, some important letterheads can be delivered expeditiously at any cost, from Yanjing to Nanjing, and even only two days and two nights can be delivered, that is to say, this letter is also two days ago at the latest, the biggest question is, what does Jinyiwei send a letter for?

Zhu Fu regained his majesty, sighed, knocked on the table next to him with his fingertips, and motioned to Menzi to put the letter on the table, Menzi understood, and presented the letter, Zhu Fu picked up the letter on the table, tore open the seal, and looked at it word by word.

At the beginning, his face also flashed a trace of doubt, because the letter was sent by Liu Chengfeng, the commander of Jinyiwei, this person Zhu Fu is of course famous, but he has been in Nanjing for a long time, and rarely deals with this person, he and Liu Chengfeng, one is guarding Nanjing, and the other is sitting in charge of Jinyiwei, they are all first-class favored ministers in the world, but they have no contact at all, and at this time, what did Liu Chengfeng write to himself?

To tell the truth, Zhu Fu sometimes looks down on some of Liu Chengfeng's behaviors, and feels that this person, as a military official, is too presumptuous, Zhu Fu's family background is cautious in words and deeds, Liu Chengfeng was born in a poor family after all, but he relies on a little ability, and a little bit of saint to do things so recklessly, such a person can't last long.

In his heart, Zhu Fu is a nobleman, and a nobleman with a deep background will inevitably be a little disdainful when he sees an upstart like Liu Chengfeng, so when he saw that it was Liu Chengfeng, Zhu Fu's face did not look very good after he was puzzled.

But then, when he slowly read the content of Liu Chengfeng's letter, Zhu Fu sometimes frowned, sometimes seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and in the end, there was a trace of joy on his eyebrows, he breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head and found that Menzi had not left yet.

Zhu Fu hurriedly put away the letter carefully, and then said, "Call Wang Zhong." ”

Wang Zhong is Zhu Fu's confidant, he has assisted the Zhu family for several generations, and he is loyal to Zhu Fu, so generally Zhu Fu has any personal affairs for Wang Zhong to do.

Wang Zhong came soon, he was a bad old man in his fifties, plain, he looked very stable, when he saw Zhu Fu, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Grandpa......"

Zhu Fu leaned on the chair, was silent for a moment and said: "Prepare a gift to go to Jingshi, send it directly to the Lianguo Mansion, and ......" Zhu Fu paused again, and seemed to be thinking about how to reply to this letter: "If you see Lian Guogong, tell him in person, great kindness, there is no way to repay it, if there is a useful place in the future, the Zhu family will definitely go all out, you go to pack up now, go on the road before dark, don't delay on the way." Yes, after meeting Lian Guogong, when he went back to the house, he also had to warn Lin'er and teach him to remember this lesson, and not forget the teacher of the future. Go ahead. ”

Wang Zhong glanced at his grandfather in astonishment, he obviously didn't expect that his grandfather would let him tell such a sentence, his grandfather has always been true to his word, what he said must be done, and it is quite rare to be able to say this promise. What kindness did Lian Guogong give to the Zhu family? What about Grandpa?

With this doubt, Wang Zhong didn't dare to slack off, and quickly cleaned it up.
