Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face: "I just came over to take a look, but I never thought that I would alarm my aunt again!"
Just like Chu Ying'er said, Zhu Houzhao came here seven or eight times in a month. It can be said that he would come to Prince Wu's Mansion every three or two days. As the master of Prince Wu's Mansion, when the emperor came, Chu
Naturally, Ning had to come out to greet him in person.
Even though Zhu Houzhao persuaded Chu Ning more than once not to come out to greet him, Chu Ning insisted on etiquette and came out every time.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao, Chu Ning said to Chu Ying'er beside her: "Ying'er, just accompany His Majesty to the secret room to see if your brother has come out of confinement."
Except for the first two times, when Zhu Houzhao came later, he insisted that Chu Ying'er accompany him, and instead asked Chu Ning to go back and rest. So this time, Chu Ning didn't force it, and naturally asked Chu Ying'er to accompany him.
Zhu Houzhao went together.
At this moment, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, Chen Ding and others stepped forward and saluted Chu Ning: "I have seen the concubine!"
Chu Ning also knew the identities of Wang Yangming and others. When he saw several important ministers greeting her, he quickly returned the courtesy and said: "You elders, please don't be so polite."
At this moment, Chu Ying'er stood up and ordered several maids to take Chu Ning to have a rest. Her pretty little face was filled with a bit of joy, and she stretched out her little hand and shook it towards Zhu Houzhao.
Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao took out a jade pendant from his cuff and handed it to Chu Ying'er and said, "You can take me with you now."
Seeing this, Chu Ying'er put away the jade pendant, chuckled and said: "Brother Emperor is so kind, Ying'er will take you there right now."
As she spoke, Chu Ying'er jumped up and walked in front, while Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly and said to the people who lowered their heads as if they didn't see anything: "My dear friends, follow me.
Let’s go and see if the companion has come out of seclusion.”
Chu Ying'er led the way and soon arrived at Chu Yi's retreat.
The place where Chu Yi retreated was a quiet courtyard, and a secret room was built in the courtyard as Chu Yi's daily retreat place.
As soon as they entered this courtyard, Zhu Houzhao and the others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly and looked towards the open secret room.
The door to the secret room was open, especially when several figures appeared in their sight. However, when Zhu Houzhao saw one of the figures, a bright color flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but quickly stepped forward and took a few steps.
He said with great joy: "Daban, you are finally out of seclusion!"
Just as Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun were asking him about the changes in the territory of the Ming Dynasty during these days of seclusion, Chu Yi suddenly heard Zhu Houzhao's voice.
Looking around Xun Sheng, he happened to see Zhu Houzhao striding towards him with a look of surprise on his face.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face. Perhaps for Zhu Houzhao, he was just in seclusion for a few months, but for Chu Yi, when he went to the world of Song Dynasty, that
But more than ten years have passed.
Humans are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? It is naturally impossible to say that Chu Yi does not miss Zhu Houzhao at all. Seeing Zhu Houzhao now, even with Chu Yi's mental determination, he could not help but feel waves in his heart.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao who was approaching and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has lost a lot of energy."
Zhu Houzhao looked Chu Yi up and down and suddenly said: "My eldest companion is still as charming as ever, so I feel relieved."
At this moment, Wang Yangming and others who followed Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and then at Zhu Houzhao, but they were amazed in their hearts. His Majesty did not tell him that Chu Yi was really out of seclusion.
Seeing Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao talking there, Wang Yangming and others looked at each other and stood aside obediently. All of them with low eyebrows stepped forward to disturb Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao's conversation.
On the other hand, Chu Ying'er's big, watery eyes blinked, and she ran into the secret room at a trot. Chu Ying'er, who had just entered the secret room, was naturally startled by so many people in the secret room, and couldn't help but say
A scream.
Chu Ying'er was no stranger to this secret room. If Chu Yi had not been in seclusion on weekdays, Chu Ying'er would have come to the secret room not once or twice. Now she suddenly saw so many people in the secret room.
Some people can't react.
Chu Ying'er's scream made everyone look towards the secret room.
Just now, everyone's attention was focused on Chu Yi, and the door of the secret room was not fully open. If you didn't look specifically into the secret room, you really wouldn't notice so many people in the secret room.
At this moment, everyone looked towards the secret room because of Chu Ying'er's exclamation, and immediately spotted the densely packed figures in the secret room.
Everyone looked surprised. After scanning the people in the secret room, they finally looked at Chu Yi.
Especially Yue Buqun, Cao Shaoqin, and others, all looked shocked. They had been guarding the surroundings since Chu Yi entered the secret room. Even if they were resting during these days, the two of them and their subordinates would take turns to come.
It can be said that there are definitely people staring at the secret room at every moment during the twelve hours. Even a fly trying to fly into the secret room cannot escape their supervision.
However, what surprised Yue Buqun, Cao Shaoqin and others was the dense crowd of figures in the secret room. At a glance, based on their experience, there must be no less than a few hundred people.
The key is when did these people enter the secret room, and what are their identities?
Various thoughts flashed through their minds. Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun knelt down on the ground with a bang and said to Chu Yi and the Emperor Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, King Wu, please forgive me. Your protection was not good, causing others to enter the secret room. Please, Your Majesty."
, King Wu punished him."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao also reacted. To be honest, he was a little curious about the origins of these people in the secret room.
But thinking about it, these people should be closely related to Chu Yi. Didn't you see the calm look on Chu Yi's face, so Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Chu Yi.
Chu Yi pointed at Cao Shaoqin, and Yue Buqun lifted them up with a slight flick of his shoulder and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will explain it to your majesty."
As he spoke, Chu Yi glanced at Wang Yangming and others, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. The identity of the people in the secret room, to be honest, Chu Yi had never thought about being able to hide it from everyone present.
After all, people talk a lot, and so many powerful people appear out of thin air. Anyone will be curious. However, Chu Yi has never thought of telling the world about the origins of all people. Only a few people are qualified to know their origins.
Chu Yi turned around and said to the people in the secret room: "Everyone, please come and see His Majesty."
Because Chu Yi had previously introduced some things about Zhu Houzhao to everyone, and now that Chu Yi said this, everyone didn't know that this noble man in front of them was the current leader of the Ming Dynasty.
Since they have decided to join the Ming Dynasty, everyone present naturally knew what to do, so when everyone walked out of the secret room, they all bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said with great respect: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."
As the leader of the divine dynasty, Zhu Houzhao was blessed with luck. His strength was still different from what it used to be, and his eyesight was extraordinary. He could tell at a glance that among the people present, there were at least dozens of people whose aura was no stronger than that of heavenly beings.
It was so bad that Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
If his induction is not wrong, it means that among these people present, there are at least dozens of powerful celestial beings.
These are dozens of powerful celestial beings. Although it is known from the Crow Celestial beings and others that this world is huge and boundless, and there are even more powerful people than a cow's hair, the area they are in is
This world is obviously a remote and desolate place, and there are obviously many fewer strong people.
But even so, there are still strong people in the Celestial Master realm, and strong Celestial beings are not uncommon, but now there are dozens of strong Celestial beings appearing all of a sudden, and these people are still bowing down with a look of sincerity.
in front of him.
Just looking at Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao saw Chu Yi looking at him with a smile on his face, showing a hint of pride.
If Zhu Houzhao still can't see that these people are closely related to Chu Yi, then he has failed to become a monarch in vain. Needless to say, these people must have joined the Ming Dynasty because of Chu Yi.
However, in Zhu Houzhao's view, the Ming Dynasty belongs to Chu Yi, and Chu Yi's belongs to the Ming Dynasty. He, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, does not need to be so clear-cut with Chu Yi, so Zhu Houzhao deserves it, and of course
He received a salute from everyone, then stretched out his hand to help everyone up and said: "My great companion and I are in charge of the Ming Dynasty. Since you are willing to serve my Ming Dynasty, then from today on, you are a member of my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao just helped everyone up, but he showed his profound cultivation. Of course, as the leader of the divine dynasty, Zhu Houzhao can use the luck of the divine dynasty to exert power far beyond his own cultivation at any time as long as he is willing.
Although Zhu Houzhao said that he was only at the level of Grand Master now, if he really consumed the country's fortune like crazy, it would not be impossible to show his strength at the level of Heavenly Master.
The reason why Zhu Houzhao showed off his tyrannical skills was naturally because he didn't want Chu Yi to lose face. After all, if he couldn't overwhelm the strong man Chu Yi introduced to him, Chu Yi's face would be dull, wouldn't it?
Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others on the side could tell at a glance that the extremely strong murderous aura of these people in front of them was indeed Yue Fei, Zhong Shidao, Yang Wenguang and others. The military aura on these people was so strong that it was almost like a brand.
In my heart, just standing there gives people the feeling of being on a battlefield.
The most important thing is that they simply cannot see through the cultivation level of some of these people, giving them a sense of inscrutability one by one.
You must know that with their eyesight, what they can't see through is at least a stronger existence in the realm of the Supreme Grand Master. Even the lowest Supreme Grand Master powerhouse makes Wang Yangming and the others feel great.
happy.
It would be great if there were one or two powerful celestial beings among them.
Wang Yangming and the others simply did not dare to imagine that among these people whom they could not see through, there were so many powerful gods and humans. If they really knew about it, they would probably faint on the spot.
Instruct Yue Buqun, Cao Shaoqin and others to arrange a group of people. Prince Wu's palace is very large, and there is no problem even if hundreds of people are arranged at once.
After leaving Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Yang Wenguang, Zhong Shidao, Chen Tuan and more than a dozen people, the rest followed Yue Buqun, Cao Shaoqin and others to leave first.
In the living room of the palace, Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao sat side by side in the middle, with the two seats side by side.
Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others were already accustomed to this and had even adapted to this scene. On the contrary, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Chen Tuan and others saw with their own eyes that Zhu Houzhao, the king of a country, actually pulled Chu Yi alongside him.
Sitting there, everyone had a look of disbelief in their eyes.
In their view, as the saying goes, there are no two suns in the sky and no two masters in the country. Even if they are powerful ministers who cover the sky with one hand, it is absolutely impossible for them to be the same as the master of the country.
However, now they saw Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao sitting on top of each other. The most important thing was that this scene did not seem to be inconsistent at all. It seemed to be very harmonious, as it should be.
Zhu Houzhao turned his head slightly and looked at Chu Yi. He had a lot to say in his heart, but in this situation, Zhu Houzhao could only suppress his thoughts temporarily.
With a slight cough, Chu Yi glanced at the people in the hall. At this moment, Master Zhongdao, Yang Wenguang, Chen Tuan and others were sitting on one side, while Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, Chen Ding and others were sitting on one side.
, it can be said that there is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.
Chu Yi was heard saying to Zhu Houzhao, Wang Yangming and others: "Your Majesty, An Guogong, Yang Shoufu, Chen Shangshu, you must be very curious about who these people are and why they appear in the secret room where I am retreating."
Wang Yangming stroked his beard, smiled slightly and said: "I believe His Highness King Wu will definitely give everyone an explanation."
Zhu Houzhao just turned his head slightly and looked at Chu Yi and chuckled: "I believe in you!"
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi said slowly: "This is Yue Fei, Yue Pengju, Han Shizhong, Chen Tuan, Zhong Shidao, Yang Wenguang..."
The extremely familiar names coming from Chu Yi's mouth were like thunder in the ears of Wang Yangming and even Zhu Houzhao.
"Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhong Shidao, Chen Tuan..."
The hands of Wang Yangming and others stroking their beards couldn't help but tremble, and they all stared at the people sitting opposite them with their eyes wide open.
Yang Yiqing shook his hand and almost pulled off a strand of his beard. How could they not understand the meaning of these names?
"Your Highness... Your Highness is not joking!"
Chen Ding had the most upright temperament and never minced words. He was one of the few important ministers in the court who dared to face Chu Yi directly and question him.
Chu Yi looked at Chen Ding and said nothing. When Chen Ding saw Chu Yi's expression, he smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Your Highness will naturally not joke with us about this kind of thing."
