After all, Zhu Youjian was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He walked all the way to counties and counties, and the local officials could not help but welcome and see him off. He walked all the way to Haining, a small town by Qiantang River.

The weather in early winter is already a bit cold, and winter has come earlier and colder over the years.

The sky is getting dark, and the river water slapped along the coast, and the turbulent splashes made the surrounding air moist.

Hou Xuanyan and Zhu Youjian stood side by side by the river. Zhu Youjian's body had not healed yet, and his face was a little pale, but he was still excited when he looked at the Canglang River.

Hou Xuan tightened the cloak behind him and said, "Your Majesty is cold and wet, and Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe. It's better to go back to the palace to rest."

Zhu Youjian stood in front of Hou Xuanyan, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and said with his back: "Hou Aiqing, I plan to cross the river from Suzhou, go to Yangzhou to comfort the people first, and then go to Jinling." After saying this, Zhu Youjian's palm covering his mouth sweated slightly, calmed down and listened to Hou Xuanyan's response.

Hou Xuanyan knew what the emperor meant as soon as he heard it. He wanted to get rid of the itinerary he arranged and inspect his own territory. Hou Xuanyan suddenly understood Cao Cao's feelings back then. Perhaps the young man who offered a seven-star sword with his blood and gathered the eighteen princes to fight against Dong Zhuo was really with the ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty. People in the world competed for fame and fortune, but what they wanted was fame and fortune. Hou Xuanyan felt that Cao Cao was with him.

I don't know that rotten rats are a taste, but I guess the chicks are still not...

Hou Xuanyan chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, I'm afraid I can't accompany Your Majesty. The war in Jingxiang is tight and the war is about to begin. If it is delayed to the late winter, the Liao people will obviously be colder than the soldiers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I ask to go to Jingxiang and fight the thief chiefs to a decisive battle."

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian was both moved and a little ashamed. Zhu Youjian saw with his own eyes the battle in Fuzhou Palace. He let the world slander the loyalty of this world, and no one in the court or the country can do this. However, Hou Xuanyan's energy was too great, and as the emperor, he had to be careful to be careful. After all, no matter how loyal Hou Xuanyan was, he could not guarantee that his subordinates would not be able to wear a yellow robe.

"Since Hou Aiqing is willing to leave, I naturally agreed. Jing Xiang will entrust her to her."

Hou Xuanyan bent down and said, "It's just for the general's duty."

Hou Xuanyan turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard the crowds of people behind him. A guard came over and said, "Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief, a group of gentry came from outside, wanting to see Your Majesty."

A hint of flush appeared on Zhu Youjian's face, and his mood suddenly became excited. The gentry that Lu Zhenfei said was about to the Ming Dynasty and thought to himself that the emperor had indeed come true? He was a little excited and said, "Please invite them over, wait, I will go and meet him in person."

Hou Xuanyan had to follow Zhu Youjian to the downstream, and saw a group of people standing in an orderly manner, waiting for the emperor to arrive. When these people saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted long live. Hou Xuanyan sighed secretly, the Zhu Ming Dynasty, which had been in the country for hundreds of years and had passed through several generations, is it still so popular with the people?

An old man in the head was wearing a robe, with a childish face and a rich face. Although he was old, he was handsome. Hou Xuanyan watched coldly, and looked familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Zhu Youjian asked with a smile: "Everyone, please get up quickly, see me, what's going on?"

The person next to him stood up, supported the old man and said, "Your Majesty, we are the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After hearing this, we came to ask for the Governor Hou. Governor Hou worked hard and made great contributions, saved us people from Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and repelled the cruel and arrogant Tartars. However, some people kept trying their best to attack Lord Xiao Hou. I hope Your Majesty will justify the name of Governor Hou."

The people next to them started talking and talking, and the general content was almost the same as what the old man said.

When the old man saw the emperor stunned, he continued, "We were entrusted by our hometown elders to come to see His Majesty. The young governor of the Hou was framed and attacked. We Jiangsu and Zhejiang people saw it, and the cold was in our hearts."

Zhu Youjian's face was confused. He felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't show it. He said blankly: "You all get up. I know the best of what kind of person Hou Aiqing is. Since I came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I will definitely make Hou Aiqing a name."

The people suddenly heard thunderous cheers, shouting together, and Zhu Youjian was not happy at all when facing the cheers of a group of gentry roaring mountains and seas. This support should have belonged to the king, but fell on a minister. Since ancient times, he has made great achievements to the master. If he had succeeded in the Northern Expedition, even Guo Ziyi would probably not have made great contributions to Hou Xuanyan throughout history.

Hou Xuanyan escaped early. This scene was too awkward, and he was a little embarrassed. As soon as he arrived at the tent, he saw a familiar face. Gu Youde, the richest man in Suzhou, sat upright. Seeing Hou Xuanyan recently, he stood up. Gu Youde, with white hair, smiled like an old fox that had become a vile.

Hou Xuanyan greeted him and asked, "Is this scene by the Qiantang River yours?"

Gu Youde smirked and said, "Wenyuan, your territory is now three or four Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so big. Do you still have to be the name of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang? How can you convince the public? Besides, you strongly support the opening of the sea. Those wealthy merchants have made a lot of money. Even if I don't encourage them, they will be convinced by you. Moreover, your fellow villager Gong Zifang has done a lot of big business on the sea. These merchants rely on his breath. They also want to curry favor with you. It is not all my push."

Hou Xuanyan was uncommon. The title of governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was indeed difficult to convince the public. The goal of suppressing Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been achieved for a long time. How could such an official title remain unchanged? The court really felt sorry for himself in this regard.

After leaving Hou Xuan's big tent, Gu Shouye came to his father and asked, "Dad, how about it, what did Wen Yuan say?"

Gu Youde looked at him coldly and cursed: "I betrothed Ling'er to him at that time because of our Gu family's century-old plan. But you jumped up and down, causing everyone to be disgusted. You don't dare to enter the account to meet your son-in-law. I, Gu Youde, have been wise forever, why did you give birth to such a disgrace to you?"

Gu Shouye looked embarrassed, but fortunately he was used to his father's scolding. He licked his face and said, "Ling'er is so young, I, a father-in-law, will definitely not bear it."
