Xu Hao intended to rectify the scoundrels who were mixed in the temple, and as the subordinates sent out reported one after another, they found that it was a cold winter wax moon, and the incense in the temples everywhere was not prosperous. So that the body cyst is thick, which is tantamount to scratching the boot for men, so it has long disappeared.

Xu Hao had to wait patiently for the spring flowers to bloom in the coming year, and the things he decided would not change easily, and after withdrawing from Jinyiwei, he felt a little unwilling, and asked Li Qiu to inquire about the second sister-in-law Wang Xuanqing's past, who she liked to associate with on weekdays, and so on.

Xu Hao still remembers that before the old general Wang Bi died, he entrusted him to take care of the Wang family on his behalf, and Wang Xuanqing's flesh and blood in his abdomen was his nephew, how could it be that it was gone?

Since Lamei's mother and daughter were not needed for a short time, Xu Hao asked Geng to send her back, so that Lamei secretly approached Wang Xuanqing's subordinates, hoping to find out more.

Xu Hao's appointment on the side of the imperial court came down quickly, and after the White Lotus Sect, the civil and military officials already knew that Xu Hao was still secretly serving as the envoy of Jinyi Wei, which made a great contribution, and naturally no one raised objections to the reinstatement of the official.

Xu Hao and Ning Xue get along under the same roof, get along day and night, the couple always thinks that time goes too fast, this time is the New Year unconsciously, Mrs. Mu sent someone to take the Ning Xue sisters home, the Xu family is full of guests again, and there are countless New Year's gifts piled up at home like last year.

Compared with last year, the gifts of the princes this year are very valuable, especially the Shu Palace, the Xiang Palace, the Qin Palace, and the Jin Palace, probably because of Xu Hao's timely and accurate information, which quickly quelled the rebellion in the territory, so that the four princes were grateful for this, so they spared no expense to express their gratitude.

On the contrary, the New Year's gift of Yanwangfu is very ordinary, and most of the gifts on the gift list are local specialties from Liaodong, ginseng, mink, deer antler, bear bile, bear paws, etc., almost all of which are medicinal herbs and precious game. Xu Hao is very pleased with this, which means that Yanwang Zhu Di no longer regards himself as an outsider.

The sound of firecrackers said goodbye to the old year, and the twenty-eight years of Hongwu have passed.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, the emperor ordered the military department to formulate a reward order for capturing the Japanese invaders, and the response in the capital was mediocre for a while. Since ancient times, most Han people have regarded the vast ocean as a daunting path, and it is reasonable that they have little interest.

However, there were many captains in the Jinyi Guard who were very enthusiastic, saying that they wanted to go to the Navy Division to kill the Japanese and make meritorious contributions, Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved when he heard this, and immediately issued an edict and ordered the military department to give the green light. The coastal sailors were sent to serve separately, and in order to encourage the successors, they were all promoted to half-level official positions.

The brothers wanted to get drunk before leaving, Xu Hao nodded and agreed without saying a word, and took Li Qiu and other subordinates to the Qinhuai River in advance.

On the misty Qinhuai River, the white walls and black tiles on both sides of the river are like a picture of ink, and what will never change is the painting boats that shuttle back and forth. Xu Hao walked slowly on the embankment, recalling the scene of putting lanterns with the hand of Ning Xue on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, when tens of thousands of lanterns were spectacular. Along the river like the bright stars in the sky, the mighty and mighty entrusts the good wishes of countless daughters' families, twinkling and sparkling with hope and going downstream.

I hope that there will be no major drought in the northwest this year, Xu Hao remembered his wish. It's a pity that the world is often a bad spirit.

At this time, Li Qiuda walked over quickly, and said with a strange expression: "I saw Ouyang Concubine's personal follow, and I want to entertain guests in the largest Ruyi Fang tonight." ”

Xu Hao chuckled: "It's really a narrow road. These brothers are leaving, and I don't know if we will see each other alive in the future. , I will charter the largest restaurant to entertain everyone, count him Ouyang Lun unlucky. ”

Li Qiu smiled: "Two different things. Ouyang's horse bag is a green building, not a restaurant. ”

Xu Hao's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said: "That's better, let the brothers have a happy Leyile, Ouyang Lun is bold enough, as a colt, he dares to visit the Qinglou, I don't want to slap him in the face." ”

With such an intention to embarrass Ouyang Lun, Xu Hao simply returned the same way, carrying the newly replaced Imperial Embroidered Spring Knife into the Forbidden City, preparing to beat the small report first, so that he would be invincible. And it turned out that the knife was contaminated with many lives, and it was not Xu Hao's own hand, and Mu Hui was asked to leave under the pretext of bad luck.

Xu Hao walked on the snow-white road and suddenly remembered that Comrade Lao Zhu was going to reunite with his daughters tonight, no wonder Ouyang Lun and a group of horses were going to the Qinglou to have fun as if they were on vacation.

"It's really a death, thinking that Bixia will lose her ears and eyes when she is old?"

Xu Hao showed a sneer and stopped, and said to Mu Yi, a henchman behind him, who was also following the steps: "You go to the Sixth Princess's Mansion and tell the horse not to go out tonight." ”

"Yes."

Mu Yi, who has just turned twenty years old this year, has a calm bearing, bows forcefully, turns around and strides away.

Xu Hao looked at his back, and sighed that there were too few talents available to him, which was also related to the old man's early resignation, which made the younger generation of the Xu family lose their sharpness and everyone was content with wealth and nobility, unlike the Mu family, although the people were not prosperous, but the relatives followed Mu Ying's father and son for two generations to fight on the battlefield all the year round, so there was basically no waste in the relatives, and the Mu family was full of fierce style.

This Mu Yi is the leader of the second generation of the Mu family, his father is Mu Ying's personal entourage, after the battle died on the battlefield, Mu Ying thanked him for his loyalty, so he gave Mu the surname, and his only son Mu Yi was raised into the Mu family tree.

Mu Hui said that Jihua was going to Weihaiwei this year, and felt that Xu Hao did not have a right-hand man by his side, so he deliberately selected his brother Mu Yi to be his personal guard, and Mu Yi went to Yunnan at the age of fifteen, and he already had five years of military experience, and he became a small banner by virtue of his military exploits.

Mu Yi has been careful to abide by his duties since he was a child, and he regards himself as a subordinate, because his relationship with Mu Ningxue, the eldest lady of the Mu family, is not far away, but after going to Yunnan, he fell in love with Qingshuang very much, just like Mu Hui loves Ning Xue the most.

I hope that the fourth child can be trained as soon as possible, so that he will have the most reliable helper, Xu Hao sighed.

The Zhu family's father and daughter reunited, Xu Hao thought about not going to join in the fun, and didn't want to be seen by Gonggong Li in the distance without waiting to turn around, and shouted: "Lord Xu go slowly." ”

Xu Hao waited for Gonggong Li to run over, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with the eunuch?" ”

Gonggong Li smiled: "Our family is an internal servant, but I don't dare to be called a eunuch." ”

Xu Hao smiled secretly in his heart, this derogatory term of later generations is a real compliment at this moment, saying that although Gonggong Li has served Comrade Lao Zhu for more than 20 years, his grade is pitiful, and it is also the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberate suppression, otherwise he would not have relied on Xu Hao to help him secretly bring his nephew.

Waving his hand to order his subordinates to stay away, Xu Hao and Gonggong Li walked forward side by side. Gonggong Li said: "Previously, Bixia felt that the people in the northwest could not eat, so he was preparing to summon Lord Xu to receive the decree. ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise you would have to work hard to find me." ”

At that moment, Xu Hao quickened his pace and entered the inner palace, and from time to time he met palace maids of different ages on the road, some of them were forty or fifty years old, with old faces and the appearance of living dead, even if they were young, they were lifeless. Xu Hao frowned and said loudly in the courtyard of Yanxi Palace: "Minister Xu Hao came by order. ”

"Come in." The voice of Comrade Lao Zhu came from inside.

Enter, Xu Hao secretly pouted, immediately untied the saber and threw it to the guards on the side, and said in surprise: "Second brother is you." ”

Xu Ji, who hurriedly took the embroidered spring knife with both hands, blushed slightly. Almost didn't catch it, stood up straight and blinked expressionlessly, not daring to speak.

Xu Hao didn't have any scruples, walked over and patted Xu Ji on the shoulder with a smile, Xu Ji bared his teeth in pain, and Xu Hao smiled even more happily.

"It's always big or small, don't tease your brother, come here." Princess Lin'an helped Comrade Lao Zhu out and scolded with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "He is also so naughty at home?" ”

Princess Lin'an smiled: "Don't be naughty. At home, he is a king, and no one in the entire Xu family dares to count him down for half a sentence, who makes your father and emperor value him so much, and the tail is about to go to the sky. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Is it my mistake to co-author?" You bastard. And smear my face again. ”

Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Bixia, don't you listen to my aunt, aren't you just spoiling my sister, why don't you force her if Li Meng doesn't want to write?" For such a small child, it is time to play. ”

Princess Lin'an said cautiously: "Don't listen to him. As soon as he has time, he takes Meng'er to play crazy day and night, and last night it was the second watch, and he knelt on the ground to ride Meng'er as a horse. This trouble is about to dawn.,As a result, Meng Er hasn't woken up yet.,So I didn't come to see you.。 ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved to hear this, and secretly gave the Li family's mansion to Xu Hao, Xu Hao did not live up to his expectations, the eldest daughter entered the palace today and looked much more than in the past, Xu Hao has merit.

Xu Ji, who was standing guard, was very envious in his heart, and said in his heart, look at the third child? No wonder on the first day he entered the palace on an errand, everyone came to scold him, thinking that it was because of the eldest brother, it turned out that the root was here.

At this time, many princesses wearing palace clothes came out of the palace one after another, some of whom Xu Hao recognized and some of whom had never seen them, and suddenly found that one of the young women was staring at him fiercely.

Probably this is Zhang Lin's daughter-in-law, Princess Fuqing, otherwise who would have such a big hatred? On the surface, it can't be suppressed. Xu Hao guessed in his heart that Ouyang Lun's daughter-in-law Princess Anqing was very friendly to him, nodding and greeting with a smile, the fourth princess and the second sister Princess Ningguo, as the concubine of Queen Ma, often entered the palace to visit Zhu Yuanzhang, because she was very familiar with Xu Hao, and she thought that Ouyang Lun would not complain to her daughter-in-law.

The princesses are not very old except for the eldest princess of Lin'an, Princess Ningguo is only thirty-two years old after the New Year, Princess Ruyang, the sixteenth daughter of the emperor who just married last year, is only fourteen years old, and her half-sister Princess Lao fifteen Hanshan is fifteen years old.

In addition to the deceased third princess Chongning and the deceased tenth queen and thirteenth daughter, the old princess Baoqing, who had just turned one year old, the twelve princesses all came.

Xu Hao looked up and swept around without a trace, and saw that there were only four or five princesses supporting their biological mothers, the oldest being Princess Fuqing's mother, Concubine Zheng, who was now unfavored, but had a transcendent status in the palace; In addition, the mother of the two princesses of the old twelve Yongjia and Ruyang, Concubine Guo, seems to be the sister of Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, the eldest daughter married Guo Zhen, the son of Guo Ying, and the highest status of the queen is responsible for managing the three thousand fandelies of the six palaces in the east and west, perhaps because of the fact that she was born in the Guo family, she has not been canonized as a concubine, and it is even more impossible for the queen.

Xu Hao is not a treasure about the affairs in the palace, and he doesn't have the heart to inquire at all, many secret things are not clear, anyway, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs run, and the fate of the concubine is like that.

Today's godmother Zhang Meiren didn't come, probably staying in Wanqingwu to take care of her daughter, but it was the Goryeo concubine Han next to Princess Hanshan who attracted his attention, this exotic concubine seemed to be the most favored existence before the godmother, about thirty years old, maybe because kimchi was not invented, and her figure was a little fat.
