Chapter 885 It’s no good when King Chu comes to visit
Chapter 885 King Chu comes to visit——nothing good
The most impressive yamen in Guangzhou is neither the Chief Secretary nor the Chief Secretary, but the Zhengnan General's Mansion located in Xiguan.
Zhu Liangzu, the general who conquered the south, was, in later parlance, the commander of the southern theater.
The generals of the Ming Dynasty are extremely rare. Apart from Xu Da's General Conquering the Japanese and Zhu Zhen's General Conquering the Japanese, there are only Mu Ying's General Conquering the West and Zhu Liangzu's General Conquering the South.
Among them, Zhu Zhen's mission of conquering the Japanese generals has been completed, but he has not had time to return to Beijing to return the seal sword, but it has expired.
It can be seen that the status of the general is so high and the power is so great. How can a mere vassal or a vassal be compared to him?
But when Lao Liu came, Zhu Liangzu, the general of the southern expedition, could only condescend to Yu and greet him at the gate of the general's mansion with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness is so polite. If you have anything to do, please send someone to let me know. I will go over and see you."
"Hey, I must come here." Lao Liu got off the carriage with a smile. He didn't want to ride a horse for the time being. "Father taught us to maintain respect for the founding heroes when we are outside."
After a pause, he apologized again: "Besides, I accidentally injured Mr. Ling that day, and I am very uneasy. I will come over to visit you when I have some free time."
"What a shame." Zhu Liangzu asked Lao Liu to go inside and said apologetically: "It's just a minor injury, why bother? The general has already sent him out to perform military duties."
"Oh, Master Ling is not here?" Lao Liu glanced at Zhu Liangzu.
"Yes." Zhu Liangzu nodded and said calmly: "The war is coming and the military affairs are busy. One person would like to be divided into three people. If His Highness hadn't arrived, even the last general would not be in Guangzhou right now."
"Haha, Marquis Yongjia said this as if I am in the way." Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Don't dare." Zhu Liangzu shook his head quickly.
"When will Mr. Ling come back?" Lao Liu seemed to be very determined to visit Zhu Xian.
"It's hard to say." Zhu Liangzu lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, the last day the general sent him and his capable scouts to disguise themselves and sneak into Yunnan to investigate the latest movements of the Yuan army to avoid any unprepared changes."
"The Marquis actually asked Young Master Ling to carry out such a dangerous task?" Lao Liu made a fuss.
"This is necessary. As the son of General Zhengnan, he has to take on the most dangerous mission." Zhu Liangzu said solemnly: "This way the soldiers can willingly obey the command of the last general."
"I've been taught a lesson." Lao Liu bowed his hands with a look of respect.
"Your Highness, please come in and serve tea." At this time, he walked to the door of the hall and Zhu Liangzu respectfully invited His Highness to come in.
"Don't be in a hurry," Lao Liu shook his head and said with great interest, "Let's first visit your general's mansion and see what it is like."
As he spoke, he said with a self-deprecating smile: "Although I have been a general for a few days, I have been on a ship and have never been in a general's palace."
After saying that, he went straight into the hall and went to 'visit' Zhu Liangzu's general mansion.
Zhu Liangzu opened his mouth to stop him, but couldn't. His Highness King Chu insisted on visiting, could he still stop him?
He quickly glanced at the soldier beside him, and the soldier quietly withdrew knowingly.
Zhu Liangzu then looked normal and laughed and said: "Your Highness is going to laugh. Come on, please come over here."
Then he led Lao Liu around the huge general's mansion.
~~
That room is in the back house of the general's mansion.
Zhu Liangzu said that Zhu Xian, who was on a reconnaissance mission in the mountains of Yunnan, was sleeping soundly with his arms around him.
The middle finger of his right hand was wrapped with a thick band of gauze, which remained erect even when he was sleeping.
"Master, Master!" A knock on the door woke him and his two concubines.
The two girls hurriedly looked for clothes, and Zhu Xian asked angrily: "What's the matter?"
"The King of Chu is here." replied outside.
"Ah? What's he doing here?" Zhu Xian was startled, and quickly found the trousers to put on by himself.
"They say they are here to visit the young master, but they probably have no good intentions!" the soldier said urgently: "The general said he sent the young master to perform military duties. He doesn't seem to believe it. He insists on coming in to visit. It is clear that he is looking for you!"
"The general is leading him around and asking the young master to hide quickly."
"Fuck..." Zhu Xian was depressed after hearing this. "What is this?"
After saying that, he glared at the two concubines who were only concerned about dressing themselves, and said angrily: "Let me dress first!"
"Yes." The two concubines responded fearfully and quickly helped him get dressed.
Zhu Xian pushed the door open and went out. The soldier took him to the back door and said, "Master, please go back to the military camp first. It's the safest place."
"Yeah." Zhu Xian nodded, not caring about harsh words, put on a large-brimmed felt hat, and hurried to the back door.
Inside the gate, several soldiers had already prepared their horses and were waiting for him. The group of people led the horses out of the general's mansion and came to the street behind the mansion.
The Fuhou Street of the Grand General's Mansion is very similar to the Toad Street behind the Yamen of Nanchang Prefecture. There are all kinds of teahouses, inns, restaurants, and bathhouses. It is full of people who come to use the back door, and there are also brokers who help people use the back door.
.
So the market looked quite lively, with vendors everywhere on both sides of the street, but they didn't dare to shout or hawk. This was a rule set by the General's Mansion. Anyone who dared to make a noise would have their shop smashed and be kicked out of the back street forever.
When Zhu Xian left the house, he subconsciously lowered the brim of his hat for fear of being recognized.
But how many people depended on him and his son for food on the street behind the house? Even if he turned into ashes, he would be recognized. Those brokers and shopkeepers all saluted him and said hello.
"What are you doing? Don't pay attention to me. I'm bothering you." Zhu Xian waved his hands in a depressed manner. A group of unsightly people. I wonder if there is anyone in front of me looking for me?
After saying that, he was ready to get on his horse, run away, and go to Xiguan Military Camp to avoid the limelight.
"Master Zhu, please stay." But I heard a familiar voice from the tea stall nearby.
"I told you, don't bother me..." Zhu Xian froze in the middle of his words. He slowly turned around and saw his old enemy Daotong, with plaster on his face and sitting in a tea room in casual clothes.
On the stall.
There was also a young man sitting next to him, who was the Chu Prince's palace guard who shot him last time.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Dao?" Zhu Xian said with a sullen face, "Why did you come to the back door of my house to drink tea?"
"Aren't you here to invite you back for tea?" Daotong smiled and said, "Come with us, Mr. Zhu?"
"..." Zhu Xian's eyes flickered for a while, and finally he said viciously: "What if I don't go?"
His soldier's hand was holding the handle of the knife, as if he was about to open it at any time. Anyway, this was not the first time he had done so.
"That's not up to Mr. Zhu." Daotong was confident this time and waved his hand handsomely.
Dozens of Panyu County officials dressed as pedestrians rushed up and surrounded Zhu Xian and others.
