The pastures with lush weeds, a large area of cleared open space, set up the emperor's tents, the prince's ministers' tents were densely surrounded, guarding the emperor, and a curtain for hunting was set up within a radius of 100 miles.

The road leading to the tent is blocked by two layers of boxcars and horses. Xu Hao's position is in the innermost, and on his periphery are several princes who have been crowned kings, but have not yet become vassals.

The main force of each safari is the three most elite battalions of the Ming army, and the five military battalions are responsible for protecting the Xuande Emperor together with the Praetorian Guard.

The most well-armed Shenji battalion is in charge of the periphery, and there is no use for it, and it is still customary to use bows and arrows for hunting. The most beautiful thing each time is undoubtedly the 3,000 battalion of knights with the Mongolian cavalry as the backbone, and hunting is the stage where they can show their talents, and the number has reached 10,000, including even the descendants of the Golden Family.

The effect of the assimilation policy of the Ming Dynasty was very significant, and these Mongols were proud to be Han Chinese, changed their Han surnames, and had no sense of identity with the Tatars and Warats living in the steppe, and went to the battlefield without mercy.

Since ancient times, China has paid attention to cultural identity, and only by embracing all ethnic groups from all over the world can the Han nation stand firm, on the contrary, the narrow bloodline theory, the Han nationality will only become more and more extremist. Of course, there's a trick here, Han men and women.

The top general in charge of security was Zhu Yong, and Zhang Fu and Xu Hao sat by the campfire and talked in a whisper.

Zhang Fu and several ministers' faces were not very good-looking, because the emperor openly brought Sun Guifei, who had just been given Jinbao, and rumors had already spread from the palace that Sun Guifei was about to replace the virtuous Empress Hu.

The young Xiangwang Zhu Zhan came over with a smile, Xu Hao likes this sensible nephew very much, if Zhu Zhanji unfortunately dies now, it is likely that all the ministers will publicly recommend him to inherit the throne with a mother, bypassing the three elder brothers above.

As mentioned above, the second Zheng King Zhu Zhanjun has a temperament similar to the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and likes to practice martial arts and has a violent personality. But there is no prestige of Zhu Gaoxu in the army, plus he is a concubine.

When Emperor Hongxi died, Empress Dowager Zhang ordered Zhu Zhanjun and Xiangwang Zhu Zhan to supervise the country until Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne. Because the third prince, Zhu Zhanyong, the king of Yue, was a fat man like his father, and he was frail and sickly since he was a child, and he was embarrassed by heavy responsibilities. And the fourth prince Zhu Zhanyin is dead, and he declares that he is overly sad, and the real situation is that the cause of death is a mystery, and he is posthumously crowned King Qi.

"Uncle." Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong's expression seemed a little embarrassed.

"Something?" Xu Hao got up and asked, and Zhang Fu beside him was also puzzled.

Zhu Zhan seemed to have made up his mind. Zhengse said: "Uncle, Xiao Wang has always admired Xiangyue, and last night he asked his mother to agree, and Shengshang Shicai also agreed, so he asked his uncle Yucheng." ”

The sudden marriage proposal made Xu Hao inexplicable, and even Zhang Fu was surprised, and both of them were at a loss and didn't know what was going on.

Xu Hao's mind was racing, wondering what was going on? It stands to reason that if the Queen Mother intends to marry. He should have mentioned it to him beforehand, why did King Xiang suddenly say it himself? Was it to warn Emperor Xuande?

No! Xu Hao didn't think that the Queen Mother would do this, so she thought about it and said: "I can't be the master of this matter, of course, since the prince favors Xiangyue." It's a blessing for her, and I'm naturally happy to see it happen. ”

"I see." Zhu Zhan thanked him and turned to leave with a happy face.

As soon as he left, Xu Hao got rid of the envious minister. frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, you see? ”

Zhang Fu groaned: "Since they don't fancy Yunsu and them, it is probably Xiangyue, which King Xiang likes himself, and Her Majesty the Queen Mother has no opinion." You can also choose to watch from the wall. ”

Xu Hao nodded lightly, don't do everything conspiracy theories, if Zhu Zhan Zheng raised this matter when Zhu Zhanji was the crown prince, it would be impossible to guard against it, now that the overall situation has been decided, the emperor is only in his twenties, why worry about having no heirs? And Zhu Zhan is famous, not like an ambitious person, maybe he really has a crush on Xiangyue, or maybe the queen mother intends to kiss and kiss, in short, both parties want to stabilize the relationship in the next generation.

Not to mention that Xu Hao was going to be troubled by this matter, Xu Ye was invited to the countryside by Xue Wen's eldest son Xue Ji, and when he saw the house being lit up everywhere, he asked, "Who wants to get married?" ”

Coming out of it, Wang Lanliu Conglong and other friends were basically the second generation in Xu Hao and Xue Wen's circle, and they all said congratulations.

Xu Ye changed color and said, "Are you crazy? How do I explain to my aunt, uncle, and cousin? ”

It turned out that Xue Ji married Xu Cuiyun's eldest daughter Liu Jingyi, Xu Cuiyun's husband Liu Mao and Xu Luge's husband Liu Zhi were not serious when they were young, and after receiving a few lessons, they gradually became stable as they grew older.

Xue Wen's son Xue Ji has been stubborn since he was a child, he doesn't like to study, Jing Enmeng became a petty official, and Xue Wen doesn't have much hope for his son. The son is not qualified to cling to Xu Hao's daughter, and the age difference is too much, so he was matched by a matchmaker and married Liu Jingyi.

Xue Jiman didn't care, and dragged him in, Xu Ye couldn't sit down in the hall angrily, pointed at Wang Lan and the others and said angrily: "Okay, you won't tell me until the end of the day, obviously you want me to have a nest with you snakes and rats." ”

Wang Lan smiled and said, "Can we admit our guilt?" You also know that the Holy Majesty decreed the expulsion of the priests, and many prostitutes have obeyed the good, how can our brothers miss such an opportunity? Not only is Lao Xue going to marry, but several of us have also secretly raised the outer room, and we have also found one for you, which is really stunning. ”

"I'm not rare." Xu Ye refused without thinking about it.

At the moment, these people took turns to persuade, but Xu Ye was unmoved, just when the auspicious time had arrived, the sedan chair was carried in.

Xu Ye looked at them coldly, it turned out to be a posture of a Ming media being married, and when he was worshipping heaven and earth, he turned around and left.

When Wang Lan and the others noticed it, they chased it out, and the people had already ridden away.

Shan said that Xu Ye returned to Xu's mansion, and it was not good to tell the family about it, so he walked to the courtyard sullenly.

After entering the house, he looked up and saw Xiangyue sitting inside, Xu Ye said hello and sat on the chair with his butt in a daze.

Ye Qin hurriedly stepped forward to serve him to change clothes and wash his face, and Ripple said to Xiangyue, who was worried: "I really didn't expect him to like you when he was a child, and after hiding it for so long, you almost promised it to your cousin back then, and he was still calm because of it." We don't see it, can't you notice it? ”

Xu Xiangyue smiled bitterly: "I can't see it, every time I see him, I don't say a few words, and I have never had any contact in private." ”

"What's going on?" Xu Ye asked.

Ye Qin explained: "There is someone in the palace, and the Queen Mother wants to be the master of giving Xiangyue to King Xiang Chitose." ”

"King Xiang? Zhu Zhandong? Xu Ye looked very surprised.

"Alas, it's all fate, I'm gone." Xu Xiangyue got up listlessly.

"Alas!" Xu Ye also sighed softly, since the Queen Mother is in charge, there is almost no room for refusal in this matter, unless his father comes forward. The question is, what point of Zhu Zhan is not worthy of Xiangyue? married to the princess, I can't think of why the Xu family refused?

In Dongfu, the Wang family, who was surrounded by younger generations, asked Liu Jingyi, who came with her mother, "What about your husband?" I haven't seen him come in a few days. ”

Xu Cuiyun said: "My son-in-law is full of business, or his friends and colleagues take turns to invite him, and he is very busy. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing." Wang nodded first, and then said: "Recently, many children of relatives have secretly raised Qinhuaihe's good prostitutes, which has made the family restless, and the husband and wife quarrel, didn't your eldest brother also provoke one?" I can't control him, but you all be careful. ”

Liu Jingyi didn't care, but on the way back, Xu Cuiyun said, "Your man is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you have to be careful, don't wait for a sister to pop up." Back then, your father secretly raised the outer room, but fortunately, the slut died of illness soon after he entered the house. ”

"I see." Liu Jingyi took the car back to her mother-in-law's house, and she couldn't help but wonder, her husband has been too busy recently.

She was a scheming person, and the next day when her husband went out, she rushed to the study to see her father-in-law, and asked: "My husband is in a hurry, I really don't know what happened in the yamen, and the child is worried about it." ”

Xue Wen said: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, what can he do with the Qingshui Yamen?" It's nothing more than eating, drinking, and partying. ”

After sending off her father-in-law, Liu Jingyi called the people around Xue Ji and asked, "Whose house has the young master been to for a banquet recently?" ”

Her gaze crossed over to one of them. This person's name is Xue Gui, and Xue Ji grew up with his confidant.

Xue Gui's heart jumped, and he said vaguely: "It seems that I went to the Wang family the day before yesterday, and I went to Lord Li's house the day before yesterday." Grandma, the little one has been getting drunk lately, and I can't remember the truth clearly. ”

"Go ahead." Liu Jingyi, who was secretly annoyed in her heart, waved her hand, and seeing that Xue Gui's words were unclear, she expected that something must be something.

Xue Gui also realized that her grandmother was afraid that she was suspicious, so she hurriedly went to the yamen and sued Xue Ji. And Xue Ji was afraid that his wife would see the flaws, so he didn't dare to take him with him when he went out. Liu Fu, who pretended to be clever and took his wife's wife, gave him some silver to buy people out, and he didn't tell him much.

On this day, Xue Ji said that he was going out to the banquet, "The lady doesn't have to wait for me, I won't come back once it's night." Now that the imperial court has decreed that prostitutes are not allowed, I dare not violate the ban. ”

"Okay." Liu Jingyi agreed with a smile, but secretly replaced Liu Fu and sent another of her husband's henchmen.

Xue Ji came out, saw that he had changed his follow, thinking that Liu Fu had something to stumble, anyway, he was still his own person, and he happily went out in the car.

As soon as he left, Liu Jingyi immediately summoned Liu Fu and Xue Gui to the inner house together. As soon as the person came in, he suddenly sneered: "The young master recently did the next thing to hide from me outside, and someone told me, I can only hate you two damn things with him colluding and hiding it from me alone." Explain it well tonight, Rao Er and wait for a dog's life, if there is half a word, immediately ask the master to send you to Shuntian Mansion, and you will be killed alive. ”

Xue Gui and Liu Fu were already wondering, what did they call in at night to ask? Suddenly, he was questioned by a split head and covered his face, and secretly looked at his grandmother's whole face full of anger, and secretly screamed, knowing that the news had leaked. (To be continued......)
