Soon after, Jiang Bin followed Wang An on the stone path. As soon as he stepped under the corridor where Zhu Houzhao was standing, Jiang Bin screamed with a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty...Jiang Bin...see the Emperor..."
Zhu Houzhao turned around and saw Jiang Bin running a few steps quickly, kneeling down with his hands on the ground and walking towards him. He whimpered and shouted vaguely: "Your Majesty... I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao was slightly moved in his heart. Although Jiang Bin had no ability, he was loyal to him. For several years, he and he had been getting along day and night, and they still had feelings. But now...
"Your Majesty, Jiang Bin... see you, Your Majesty..." Jiang Bin knelt down a few steps in front of Zhu Houzhao and kowtowed repeatedly. Although the floor of the corridor was made of wood, Jiang Bin kowtowed with great force, which was quite moving.
"That's it, Jiang Bin, get back on your feet." Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice.
Jiang Bin thanked him repeatedly and got up. Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiang Bin's face. He had a handsome Chinese character face that was originally rosy and plump, but now he was so thin that his cheeks were sunken, and his neatly trimmed beard was curled up in a messy bun.
It was also disheveled. The whole person looked very depressed.
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Bin, why did you become like this?"
Jiang Bin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am unkempt and unbecoming of a decent person. In fact, my mother has been seriously ill recently and I am serving you by my side. I dare not relax day and night, so I have no time to tidy up my appearance. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"
Zhu Houzhao exclaimed: "I see, you are a filial person."
Jiang Bin bowed and said: "Loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are the duty of a monarch, his minister, his father and his son. Just like a minister is to the emperor, he will always be loyal to the emperor, be loyal to the emperor, and go through fire and water."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slowly, paused and said: "Jiang Bin, I know that you are loyal to me. However... you also know that there are some things that I have no choice but to do. I..."
Zhu Houzhao smacked his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to embarrass you. Jiang Bin is incompetent and can't share the Emperor's worries, but he almost ruined a major event. In the past few years, Jiang Bin has also ruined his reputation because of his ignorance, making all the officials in the capital disgusted. I all know it. I only hate it.
Time cannot be repeated. In that case, I will definitely be able to calm myself down and practice myself well, and like the Lord Protector, I can help the emperor solve his problems.
.I am no longer suitable to stay with the Emperor, nor am I suitable to remain as the commander of the Royal Guards. The reason why I have asked to see the Emperor many times is that I want to see the Emperor, and secondly, I want to ask the Emperor for permission to resign and return.
Your Majesty, your Majesty, Jiang Bin, is incompetent. Your Majesty should have another suitable candidate to protect you, and I am willing to give way." Jiang Bin said in a low voice.
Zhu Houzhao felt a little sad, but he had indeed begun to look for candidates to take over Jiang Bin's position. Zhang Yanling would be dissatisfied if Jiang Bin stayed with him. Rather than doing so, it would be better to replace him early. Between Zhang Yanling and Jiang Bin, of course he
You can only choose Zhang Yanling.
"Jiang Bin, I am not heartless. When the Ming Dynasty reaches a critical moment, all aspects of things will change, and I must adapt to the changes and cannot go against the flow. You also know the current situation in the court, and I don't need to say more. I can only
He said, this can only be done for now, and I have nothing to do. But you don’t have to be discouraged, I will give you a good arrangement. Where do you want to work? I can promise you. "
Jiang Bin's heart felt cold. He went to the palace to see Zhu Houzhao today because he wanted to confirm the rumors he had heard. He expected to hear different news from the emperor. But now it seems that everything is true. He Jiang Bin
It had indeed been thrown away by Zhu Houzhao like a used rag.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I just want to return to my hometown to serve my mother. My mother is old and has not gotten used to living in the capital these past few years. She is homesick and her health is getting worse. Wei Chen wants to take her mother back to her hometown in Yuzhou.
Buy some land in the countryside, stay with her for a few years, and provide for her old age. Apart from that, I have nothing else to think about." Jiang Bin said slowly.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Filial piety is commendable, filial piety is commendable. That's fine. When the time comes, I will give you the position of commander of the Weizhou Guard and reward you with some land so that you can serve the imperial court with peace of mind. What are you planning?
When is the time to leave Beijing?"
Jiang Bin cursed secretly in his heart, but said in a deep voice: "The weather is hot right now, and my mother has just recovered from a serious illness, so it is not suitable to leave. So I plan to leave Beijing in two months when the weather gets cooler."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "That's fine, I've considered it very carefully."

Jiang Bin said: "In addition, I still have some things to deal with in the capital, and I want to finish them. I have recently participated in an operation to raise military funds to raise money and food for our army in the Northern Ming Dynasty. I also want to complete this matter."
."
Zhu Houzhao said in surprise: "Oh? Are you doing this?"
Jiang Bin smiled bitterly and said: "I am not the only one. Yang Shoufu took the initiative, and many officials in the capital responded positively. After I heard about it, I also participated in it. I only tried my best. During this time, I have only raised one person."
Fifteen thousand taels of silver. From Yang Shoufu, I heard that 250,000 taels of silver have been raised. Eighty cartloads of grain and grass supplies were purchased and they were sent to Datong yesterday. That's really amazing."
Zhu Houzhao was even more surprised and said: "Oh? Is Yang Tinghe doing this?"
Jiang Bin said: "Yes. I heard that Yang Shoufu sold the house where he lived in the capital and donated all 30,000 taels of silver. He sent his wife, children and mother back to the countryside, and rented a house with only a few servants.
This is an ordinary house. Yang Shoufu is really admirable."
Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Very good, I am very happy that you can think of the imperial court. We are united to support the Northern Expedition. Relieving the pressure on financial and military expenditures is an encouragement to the soldiers at the front. I am also participating, and this is my piece
Jade pendant, you take it out and give it to Yang Tinghe. This is a donation I participated in. I will ask Zhang Yong to activate it in the palace, and the queen and concubines will also take some out to raise funds to support the Northern Expedition."
Zhu Houzhao reached out and took off a jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin was overjoyed and quickly took it with both hands and said: "Your Majesty is truly a sage through the ages. He has broken his heart for my Ming Dynasty. Thank you for your hard work."
It hurts my heart. The ministers are so incompetent that they actually ask the emperor to collect donations to support the finances. The ministers are ashamed and have no place."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's all, everything will be fine. Jiang Bin, you will leave the capital in two months, but if you have any unfulfilled wishes, there is no harm in speaking out."
Jiang Bin thought for a while, then slowly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I don't have any unfulfilled wishes. But since the Emperor has asked, I dare to say two wishes."
Zhu Houzhao said: "You say."

Jiang Bin said: "The first one is that my sister is in the palace. Well...my sister is ignorant and only has the appearance of a willow. She can be favored by the emperor because of the smoke in the ancestral tomb of my Jiang family. I only hope that,
Your Majesty, could you please give her some care so that she can live a good life in the palace and have no worries about food and clothing? She doesn't know the rules very well, and I'm afraid that her words and deeds will offend others in the future and she won't be able to settle down in the palace."
The girl Jiang Bin was talking about was Jiang Bin's concubine. She was bought from a brothel. She was favored before, but now Zhu Houzhao is tired of it and has long ignored this woman. Jiang Bin mentioned that it was not that he hoped that Zhu Houzhao could return to his previous life.
Favoring that woman only reminded Zhu Houzhao of what he had done for him.
"Jiang Bin, this is not something you should worry about. Although she is your sister, she has entered the palace and has her own destiny." Zhu Houzhao said solemnly.
"Yes, yes, what the emperor said is absolutely true. I am talking too much. My second wish is that I will leave the capital soon. The most grateful and lucky thing for me in this life is to be able to see the emperor and be loyal to the emperor.
.I just want to do this before leaving Beijing.
Accompany the emperor a few more times. After all, after I leave the capital, I will not be able to come to the capital to visit the emperor from time to time. Please give me your permission. I am fulfilling my filial duty by accompanying my adoptive father as the emperor's adopted son. I also ask for your permission.
"Jiang Bin said.
Zhu Houzhao sighed, feeling quite emotional and moved in his heart, and said softly: "Well, because of your filial piety and loyalty, I will allow you to come to the palace to see me at any time. You and I, the king, my father and my son, will start well and end well."
Jiang Bin kowtowed heavily, tears streaming down his face and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, foster father!"
