Overnight, the entire Forbidden City was lit up everywhere, the palace people and guards were dressed in new clothes, and the winter banquet was held in the Wuying Palace, which was built in the eighth year of Hongwu.

Xu Hao, who had not slept all night, stood on the tower of the noon gate, looking down at the nobles and others who came out of the official sedan chair on the top, and then walked under his feet.

He was wearing a splendid flying fish suit sewn by Ning Xue himself, which was extremely close and comfortable, and was specially sent this morning.

He killed his siblings last night, and he wants to frame Zhongliang today, with this outfit, Xu Hao feels that he is the legendary and heinous Jinyi Wei villain.

It is estimated that in the future, the history books will record as follows, on the twenty-eighth night of the lunar month of a certain year of Hongwu, Xu Hao assassinated his brother, assassinated the famous general in the court the next day, and the next day Emperor Hongwu cleaned up the source and killed the traitor Xu Hao outside the noon gate, and the whole world celebrated.

Anyway, if there are more lice, don't bite, and don't worry if you have too many debts, Xu Hao pretended to be okay and squinted down, what do you want me to do?

For killing, Xu Hao himself felt very strange, he didn't dare to commit murder with his own hands, and he didn't want to see the bloody scene of stumps and broken arms, but he didn't have any scruples when he asked others to take action, just like killing a person is no different from killing a chicken, the difference is only that he is not present.

After thinking about it for a whole night, Xu Hao realized that it was completely caused by everything in modern times. Since I was a child, I have been exposed to novels, TV movies, and reading ancient books and wild histories, etc., and I have seen countless murder plots, and there is no psychological barrier at all when I order to kill. Of course, do-it-yourself is another matter.

Seeing that Fu Youde, the prince of Yingguo, came out of the sedan chair from a distance, Xu Hao's expression became serious, and he silently watched this generation of famous generals walk towards this side with his two sons.

Xu Hao knew that General Fu had a total of four sons. One passed to his brother, and the other died on the battlefield. Now the tide is set. I only hope that Zhu Yuanzhang can leave a trace of blood for the Fu family.

The bleak feeling of the hero's end welled up in his heart, and Xu Hao immediately raised his feet and walked to the side. didn't dare to stand on top of Fu Youde, but Fu let his sharp eyes see him walking around, and said a few words in his father's ear.

At this moment, Fu Youde's mood is extremely complicated, it is clear that today's winter banquet is for himself, since he learned that Zhang Lin died violently, there have been news from his former henchmen who disregard their own safety, and the death of Zhang Lin is actually related to his son Fu Zhong?

I already know it, let alone the emperor, just rely on a few horses to join forces to put the children of the Xu family to death. The emperor has an excuse to ask himself for his own guilt.

The son is so confused, his original intention was just to make trouble, so as to involve the Xu family to avoid the attention of the emperor, who knew that he actually echoed Ouyang Lun and Zhang Lin in the audacity to try to harm others, what is there to quibble about it now?

Fu Youde suddenly aged by more than ten years, slowly looked up at Xu Hao, the party above, with apology in his eyes, and nodded lightly.

Xu Hao's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. With deep apologies, he bent down deeply and whispered, "I'm sorry! Congratulations to the General. ”

At this moment, there is no need to say anything, a thousand words are bowing. Fu Youde, who had won a battle all his life, suddenly had infinite pride in his chest. Life and death were completely out of control, his back was as straight as a sword, and he walked towards the palace proudly.

Xu Hao sighed faintly. Lonely turned around and walked away, no longer needing to deliberately provoke Fu Rang. The general is already determined to die.

Later, Xu Hao deliberately avoided the gray-haired second grandfather Xu Da and the preoccupied Song Duke Feng Sheng, as well as the frowning Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and the Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, who was full of children and grandchildren.

Under the wall on one side of the Wuying Palace. Xu Hao took a sip of the robbed tribute wine and sat reclining in the snow.

Suddenly, someone laughed and said, "You're funny, you dare to sit here and eat wine." ”

Xu Hao raised his eyes and saw that it was Zhu Yunwen, the imperial grandson wearing a dragon robe and a jade crown, raised the wine jug and said, "Do you want to drink?" ”

Zhu Yunwen immediately frowned, and said unhappily: "Insulting Sven, embarrassing your family." ”

Xu Hao sneered: "When the soldiers were killing the enemy outside, they were all like this, bullshit insulting Sven, did Da Ming rely on scholars to beat down?" ”

Zhu Yunwen said pityingly: "That was before, but now the four seas are leveling, there is a way to know etiquette and etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, how can you generalize?" ”

Xu Hao raised his head and poured a large sip of good wine, and asked rhetorically: "Then why do you still need to garrison so many soldiers at the border pass?" The world needs so many soldiers and horses, it is better to disarm them all and return to the field, and everyone should study together. ”

"Idiot!" Zhu Yunwen sighed: "Talking to Wufu is no less than playing the piano to a cow." Drink it slowly yourself, and don't accompany you. ”

Xu Hao smiled, no matter what, Zhu Yunwen is indeed a good person, but it is a pity that he was born in the wrong era and gave birth to the wrong family.

"Your Highness, why did you come out?"

Zhu Yunwen, who was just about to leave, said helplessly when he heard this: "I don't know why? Originally, the emperor's grandfather toasted the elders, but he ordered me to leave for no reason. ”

Xu Hao's heart immediately understood that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want his grandson to see the next conflict, and sighed: "Then Your Highness, go back quickly, the weather is cold, don't freeze you." ”

Zhu Yunwen seemed to remember one thing and asked, "You made the Jinyi Wei Pacification Envoy?" Then why didn't you go to the Prince's Mansion to see me? Are you only friendly with the Zhu Gaoxu brothers, and you don't want to be close to me? ”

Xu Hao said in surprise: "I just took office yesterday, and I haven't had time to pass yet!" Besides, I am a reckless man, and I went to a place where I am afraid of dirty Your Highness. ”

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "Sure enough, just like the words of others, you have prejudices against me!" If you are a reckless man, won't all the children under the sky become puppets? ”

Xu Hao's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "It's not a secret, the minister really doesn't like to study, otherwise he wouldn't be a guard." Your Royal Highness is different, who dares to get close to you rashly? Besides, now that the minister is a brocade guard, it is even more difficult to come to the door for no reason, and it is also out of good intentions. ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled: "What you say is reasonable, then I don't care, you continue to drink the bar, I'll leave." ”

Xu Hao saw the future short-lived emperor and a cadre of Wenchen guards of the East Palace, and couldn't help but raise his head and drink the wine dry.

Shaking the empty wine jug, Xu Hao was a little drunk, and was about to get up to find another jug. At this time, a group of young people came out of the side door next to him, including Fu Zhong and Fu Rang.

Most of the noble children in the capital have always been headed by Li Jinglong, and at this time, people are qualified to sit in the Wuying Palace, and Xu Jingqin, the real eldest son and eldest grandson of the Xu family, and others are naturally not qualified because their elders are alive, and they are arranged in other palaces.

There is nothing delicious about the imperial meal, it is just beautiful, and the winter banquet is nothing more than a scene, so these people hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, drank a glass of wine and came out to relax together, after all, they are not like Xu Hao, who can enter and exit the palace, and they can't enter the palace a few times a year.

Xu Hao, who was not in a good mood, staggered to his feet and asked his cousin Xu Jingqin, "Is there any wine?" ”

Xu Jingqin frowned and said, "You have a duty to do it, what are you doing drinking?" ”

Since Xu Hao and Li Jinglong became a deep friendship, even other people were impressed by him, Xu Jingqin and other cousins were also more friendly to Xu Hao, and at this moment it was out of kindness to remind the brothers to pay attention to the identity occasion.

Xu Hao has always been a person who respects him, and he is also a foot old, and he smiled at the moment: "Don't drink it, listen to the eldest brother." “

Xu Jingqin smiled: "This is like words." Come, these two are the two sons of the Yingguo Gong Fu family who are rare to see, you know each other. ”

As the saying goes, there is no first and no second, Xu Jingqin's brothers of this generation know that they are far inferior to their grandparents, and the Xu family has become extremely low-key as early as ten years ago, so they can get along well with Li Jinglong and even look ahead.

In the past ten years, the Fu family and the Feng family have both been famous generals, and their father is an invincible and famous general in the world with great power, so there is naturally no Li Jinglong and others in his eyes.

Xu Hao said: "The younger brother knows the horse and Master Fu, if you have offended before, please bear with me." ”

Fu Rang said with a smile: "Lord Xu is a handsome man from the avant-garde of our army, a pillar of the country, and he was promoted to the envoy of Jinyi Wei at the age of seventeen, which is very admirable." ”

Fu Zhong remembered Zhang Lin's death and said coldly: "I can't climb high." ”

Xu Jingqin and the others' faces suddenly became a little unnatural, it is true that Fu Rang didn't mean anything else, but in their ears, they felt so greasy?

At the age of seventeen, Xu Hao became the pacification envoy of Cong Sipin, the emperor's henchman, and what about them? The highest official rank is only the fifth rank, some people are the sixth or seventh rank of martial arts, and even most of them have not yet participated in the work.

As a result, the brothers, including the Xu family, were not happy to stay with the youngest Xu Hao, so they said a few words and walked towards the Jinshui Bridge in the distance.

"Sure enough, when I became a brocade guard, no one wanted to pay attention to me and stopped playing with me."

The problem is that Xu Hao, who is a little drunk, has lost his sober mind in the past, standing alone with self-pity and self-pity, looking at others talking and laughing together with envy, feeling lonely.

In the Wuying Palace, the atmosphere was a little strange, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and talked and laughed, while most of the nobles below did not know how to eat.

There are no more than twenty old ministers who are qualified to abandon their status as courtiers and have friends with the emperor, and among these twenty people, there are only three or five people who can really get close to the emperor.

Most of them are the titles inherited by their fathers after their deaths for various reasons, and as many as thirty or forty people were killed by the emperor's decree.

In particular, a customary winter banquet has changed its flavor because several generals are idle at home. Fu Youde, who sat in the second place on the right, did not drink a sip of wine or eat a mouthful of food from beginning to end, which made the surrounding nobles tremble.

On the surface, the most comfortable one is Xu Da, the head of Wei Guogong on the left, with a faint smile on his face, and frequently raised his glass to talk and drink with Zhu Yuanzhang, and his interest was very high.

Only Xu Zengshou, who was kneeling on the side and waiting, felt uncomfortable, because he found that there was no trace of a smile in his old father's eyes.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings! (To be continued......)
