Zhu Tianjiang scratched his head, wondering if he had heard wrongly? Zhu Tianjiang turned around and looked at Xuanzhu, his big fat face was about to cry.
Several female members of the Hong family class helped Hong Xiaoqing to the seats in the backstage. Hong Xiaoqing burst into tears. Her father's words ruthlessly hit her innocent heart. Ah Cheng looked at Hong Baichao and could only sigh silently.
, he understood Hong Baichao’s thoughts very well.
"I said, Father Hong, let's stand up and talk, okay? Didn't you hear clearly just now? I meant that His Highness the Fourth Highness wants to marry your Xiaoqing." Zhu Tianjiang repeated it. As he spoke, he pulled Hong Baichao up.
.
"Master Zhu, the common people know your good intentions. However, this is impossible. We don't dare to climb high if we don't belong to the right family." Hong Baichao glanced at Zhu Tianjiang in embarrassment.
"Hey~! What a big deal I am, why can't I reach such a high level? The prince is nothing. Xiaoqing is my god-sister. Marrying him will be an advantage for this kid. Just say whether you agree or not. Regarding other matters
Don't worry about it at all, I will make the decision for you." Zhu Tianjiang said in an all-round way.
Xuanzhu also took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Hong, Mr. Zhu and I have already discussed this matter, so you can rest assured. Xuanzhu is not the kind of person who is quick and easy. From the first time we met, maybe God has destined this to happen."
A marriage. Uncle Hong, Xuanzhu promises to treat Xiaoqing well in the future and will never let her down."
"Look, your son-in-law has such a sweet mouth. Although he is a little uglier than me, he has a good heart. I tell you, Father Hong, you don't have to think so much." Zhu Daguan said with a smile.
Hong Baichao still had a grimace on his face. Who is Xuanzhu? He is the current prince. According to the ancestral system of the Dafeng Dynasty, even if Hong Xiaoqing is married into the palace, no matter whether Xuanzhu is the emperor or a prince in the future, the daughter of a commoner will not be able to get more than a talented person.
Title ban. In other words, after marrying, Hong Xiaoqing will be locked into a deep palace. It will be difficult for father and daughter to meet again.
"Master Zhu, Your Highness Xuanzhu, you are still young and don't know how powerful this place is. With Qing'er's status, it is impossible to get a reward. Even if we can get the grace of His Highness the Fourth Highness, I am afraid that our father and daughter will never be able to see each other again." Hong Baichao
He said with a sigh.
"I said, Dad Hong, according to what you said, it is even more impossible for me to be an official. You must know that my background is even lower than yours. It is simply extremely cheap. Do you know what I did before? To put it more elegantly,
A big teapot in a brothel is, in layman's terms, a turtle slave. But haven't we become high-ranking officials in the Dafeng Dynasty now? Turtle slaves are also human beings, and they are also skilled workers. I think back then in Zhongdu Mansion, I, Zhu Tianjiang, was a turtle slave.
A strange flower in the slave world, Chrysanthemum Broken is the first song I sang. If you think about it, I can be an official, why can't my godgirl get a reward? Who in the harem will dare to say no? I won't be done with her.
.”
Xuanzhu quickly gave Zhu Tianjiang a hand. Turtle Slave is not a good thing. It's not embarrassing enough for you to promote it.
Hong Xiaoqing sobbed on the chair and glanced at Zhu Tianjiang gratefully. A day ago, she was very prejudiced against Zhu Tianjiang, thinking that this man was slippery and unscrupulous. But at this moment, Hong Xiaoqing was very moved.
Listening to Zhu Daguan's persuasion, Hong Baichao could only nod helplessly. He didn't want his daughter to marry the prince, but he was worried that there were many rules in the palace and Xuanzhu was not allowed to marry his daughter. First, Lord Zhu intervened,
Hong Baichao was somewhat moved. From the conversation, he could tell that Master Zhu was even better than the prince.
The Hong family's class was filled with joy. For these common people, Hong Xiaoqing married the prince, and the Hong family had reached the sky in one step. Acheng and others came forward to congratulate one after another, and Hong Baichao's face turned red with excitement.
Zhu Tianjiang threw Xuanzhu in the background. Zhu Si and others went to Zhao's house to arrest Zhao Chengguang. Zhu Tianjiang had to rush to the government office immediately to deal with business matters.
As soon as the governor Wu Dayin had the power, he carried out the order and arrested seventeen important officials of Pengcheng Palace on the spot. In less than one update, Zhu Si led 500 elite troops to attack the Zhao family manor. The Zhao family, which boasted a thousand slaves,
The birds and beasts in the manor were scattered in all directions, and none of the main members, including Zhao Chengguang, escaped, and they were all captured and brought to justice.
After being escorted to the lobby of the government office, Zhao Chengguang realized whose hand he had lost to. Zhu Tianjiang was still dressed as a country squire and was sitting high in the lobby.
"Zhao Chengguang, your Zhao family has been prestigious in Pengcheng for so many years, and today you finally got your reward." Zhu Daguan said with a sneer.
"Master Zhu, I am defeated by you. It has been rumored for a long time that Master Zhu is wise and powerful. When I see him today, he is truly a hero." Zhao Chengguang did not show any panic and commented on Zhu calmly.
Heaven descends.
"Haha, it's useless to pat the horses. It's over. If your Zhao family didn't provoke Zhu Jiyinlou before today, maybe I can let you go. But those incompetent sons of yours actually blackmailed you.
It’s on my head. Don’t say it’s you, even the fucking queen and I won’t buy it!” Zhu Tianjiang slapped the table and said.
Wu Dayin, the prefect sitting on one side, almost slipped out of his chair. You can scold when there is no one around, but now the lobby is full of people. Isn't this looking for trouble?
Zhao Chengguang's expression changed. No wonder the news from the capital called him a villain and a god of plague. It seemed that this person was really arrogant.
"Master Zhu, could you please take a moment to speak?" Zhao Chengguang said suddenly.
"Borrow me a step? What, you want to bribe me? No, all your money is mine." Zhu Tianjiang said unkindly.
"Master Zhu, I have heard for a long time that you want to support the Fourth Prince to fight for the position of crown prince. If Master Zhu can let me, the Zhao family, I can help you." Zhao Chengguang saw that Zhu Tianjiang did not buy it, so he could only
Throw out this bait.
Wu Dayin was shocked and looked at Zhu Tianjiang worriedly. He was really afraid that if Zhu Tianjiang agreed to this request, as long as the Zhao family survived, Wu Dayin would be finished.
"Haha!" Zhu Tianjiang smiled, "Zhao Chengguang, Zhao Chengguang, you are too confident. Just by being a Pengcheng squire, you can influence the disputes between the princes and the throne? Besides, should he take the Xuanzhu seriously?
Crown Prince, you are in my way."
Seeing that Zhu Tianjiang refused to take any advice, the calmness on Zhao Chengguang's face gradually disappeared, "Master Zhu, my Zhao family is related to Master Ma, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Master Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, has a close relationship with the little old man. Much.
There are many ways to make friends. I can dedicate my wealth to you, and I just ask Lord Zhu to let me and my family go. When the time comes, I guarantee that Master Ma of the Ministry of Punishment will be grateful for your generosity."
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Zhao Chengguang and suddenly asked, "I am very familiar with Martin Tian and Feng Jing. This argument can be considered. By the way, where did you hide Wu Dayin's anti-poetry?"
Zhao Chengguang was startled and looked at Wu Dayin. Wu Dayin was even more nervous, eager to know where this thing was.
Zhao Chengguang took a deep breath, and he understood that this thing might be the last straw for the Zhao family.
"Master Zhu, Master Wu, as I said before, as long as you let go of my Zhao family, I promise that that thing will never appear in the world. But if my Zhao family is going to die, I can only use you, Master Wu, as a backing up."
That’s it.”
Zhao Chengguang risked his life. He only asked Zhu Tianjiang to release the Zhao family, even if all the family property was confiscated, it didn't matter. As long as people were alive, Zhao Chengguang believed that the Zhao family would rise again sooner or later.
Wu Dayin looked at Zhu Tianjiang in fear. He had no opinion at all on this matter. If Zhu Tianjiang was not present, Wu Dayin would probably be able to invite Zhao Chengguang to the top position and offer tea politely.
Zhu Tianjiang's face turned gloomy, "Old Zhao, why don't you ask me? The biggest problem with me, Zhu Tianjiang, is that I don't like to be threatened. Not to mention that Wu Dayin only wrote Shou Po poems, it's because he followed Zhou Yantian
Go and rebel, as long as you sincerely repent, I can still keep his official position."
Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking with a sneer, and ordered to the side, "Zhu Er, immediately send a message to King Jing Feige, saying that Pengcheng Prefect Wu Dayin worked hard to eradicate the Pengcheng bully Zhao Chengguang and his family, and they were deeply loved by all people. But due to a few years
Before, he was drunk and raving, and wrote a poem that satirized the current dynasty. Wu Dayin felt that he was guilty of a serious crime, and was planning to escort the Zhao family to search for guilty silver and go to the capital to plead guilty. After careful inspection by my Lord, it was indeed a drunken gaffe, and
There is no disrespect in mind. Therefore, the Security Procuratorate is willing to protect Wu Dayin and continue to serve as the governor of Pengcheng. Please ask Prince Jing to report to the Ming Emperor for a thousand years, so that Wu Dayin can make meritorious service and benefit the people of Pengcheng."
Zhu Tianjiang stepped in to protect Wu Dayin in front of everyone. Wu Dayin was so moved that he quickly stood up, walked to the front and knelt down on his knees.
"Master Zhu's great kindness, I, Wu Dayin, can't repay it even if I am an ox or a horse. If I have to do something in the future, I will not hesitate to do anything to you even if I am a low-ranking official."
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Zhao Chengguang's pale face and smiled at Wu Dayin, "Mr. Wu, you're welcome. I just hope that when I, Zhu Tianjiang, are in trouble in the future, you will remember my kindness today."
Zhu Tianjiang understood that he couldn't cut off all the officials in Pengcheng. There had to be someone to take charge of things. He didn't mean to let Wu Dayin go, but he just felt that this man had some conscience because he didn't follow the Zhao family to harm the people.
Zhu Tianjiang did not expect that his kind thoughts today would let Wu Dayin go. Later, Zhu Tianjiang would fall out with Emperor Chengwu and be chased by the army to the boundary of Pengcheng. Wu Dayin really thought of today's kindness and did not hesitate to disobey Chengwu.
According to the emperor's order, Zhu Tianjiang was released privately.
As the saying goes, a single act of kindness today will lead to Zhu Tianjiang’s future hegemony.
