Zhu Cheng listened next to him, his lungs were almost irritated. The price of Jingxi Imperial Village paid the price of sacrificing an Embroidered Uniform Guard. Jiannu, who had been caught after a lot of hardships, actually wanted to let go so easily. Could it be that the blood of the people of Liaodong were in vain?

He smiled and said, "Sir Hou, right? Come here."

Hou Xun did not doubt it, walked over and bowed and said, "What advice does Zhu Qianhu have?"

Zhu Cheng jumped up, slapped him hard on the face, and said angrily: "I promise not to beat you to death."

Hou Xun was cold-hearted by nature and always had to take advantage of others. He was slapped in the face by Zhu Cheng, so how could he give up? He wanted to slap Zhu Cheng when he turned around. Zhu Cheng lowered his head and crawled over under him.

When Zhu Youjian saw Hou Xun and Zhu Cheng wrestling, how could he come to help? He bent forward and hugged Hou Xun's calves from behind and dragged them back. Hou Xun was unstable and fell to the ground. Zhu Cheng turned around and rode on his neck and beat him up. Zhu Youjian was worried that he would be injured by Hou Xun, so he rode on his legs and beat him up. The brothers really cooperated with each other and did not waste their training at the imperial village in the west of Jing.

Emperor Tianqi did not like Hou Xun's speech, but he was clumsy and could not find a reason to refute it. Therefore, he was very happy that his two younger brothers came forward to beat Hou Xun up, but he pretended to say, "Ask reason, don't fight."

All the ministers went forward to separate the three of them. Emperor Tianqi was afraid that his younger brother would suffer losses, so he hurriedly ordered the Jinyiwei to come forward to maintain order.

When Hou Xun was rescued, he was in a very embarrassing state. His black gauze hat was crooked and a hat wing was removed. The third-rank official robe on his body was torn, the jade belt was broken, and it fell to the ground, making him look like a beggar.

Hou Xun burst into tears and knelt down and said, "Emperor, where are you going to be the master of your ministers? Zhu Cheng insults this gentleman. I have studied poetry and prose hard since I was a child. I have been working hard for ten years to serve the country. I didn't expect that in the great dynasty today, I was bullied by a son, and asked the emperor to be the masters and avenge me for my ministers..."

Before Emperor Tianqi could speak, Zhu Cheng pointed at Hou Xun's nose and cursed: "Stop talking, I can't beat you, a traitor. Are you talking about something today? What should you not kill, or kill. Do Du and Nikan be messengers? Jiannu is just a rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, not a country. Since it is not a messenger from the country? You, a traitor who tries to split the Ming Dynasty!"

Hou Xun was stunned. He only paid attention to saving Dudu's life. He forgot that the Ming Dynasty did not recognize Jiannu's founding country at all. He could only bow his head and say nothing.

Gu Dazhang defended him: "Hou Xun just talks about the matter and does not have the intention to rebel. Zhu Qianhu should not exaggerate it."

Zhu Cheng sneered and said, "Okay, even if you are right. I would like to ask, what is Dudu and Nikan going to the imperial village in Xixi? Zhu Youjian said it very clearly. He was the slaughter of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, who was the fifth-rank official and the Jinyiwei deputy Qianhu, who was from the fifth-rank official. Can the envoy do such a thing?"

When Gu Dazhang heard this, he had nothing to say and scolded Hou Xu for being a brainless person. How could he think that Du Du and six others were here to be the special envoy?

Zhu Cheng continued: "Isn't the thief chief Nuer Hachi a wise and grateful person? The Ming Dynasty was pitiful to Jiannu and lent Jianzhou to them to live in. But how did they repay the Ming Dynasty? Rebellion! Is Ningyuan Li Chengliang treating them? Jiannu cannot defeat the enemy, Li Chengliang helps them fight; Jiannu lacks population, Li Chengliang goes to the mountains and forests to capture the birth Jurchens and sell it to him. But how did Nuer Hachi repay Li Chengliang?

?He colluded with the Haixi Jurchens to set up an ambush and killed Li Chengliang's most outstanding son Li Rusong. Nuer Hachi wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty and had nothing to do with what the Ming Dynasty did or would do. As long as he could get a advantage, Jiannu would definitely attack the Ming Dynasty. Last year, Emperor Guangzong Zhen made a grand ceremony, and what did the Ming Dynasty do to sorry Nuer Hachi? No. But Jiannu took advantage of the opportunity of our filial piety for the emperor to attack Shenyang and kill countless people."

The Jurchens refer to the Jurchens who did not join the Jiannu household registration. They have been crossing mountains and rivers for many years, are strong and have excellent shooting skills, and are the best sources of soldiers. Therefore, Nuer Hachi often sends troops to capture the Jurchens and enriches them into the army. When Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong, he often did this for Nuer Hachi.

People familiar with Liaodong affairs know this term, and there are officials who don’t understand it, but from Zhu Cheng’s tone, Li Chengliang was really good to Nuer Hachi. Everyone couldn’t help but shake their heads. Nuer Hachi is really heartless and untrustworthy. He is kind to him, and is purely a glamorous look on the blind man.

Zhu Cheng became more and more angry as he spoke, and cursed: "This traitor, the last sentence is even more inverted by black and white. Is the last emperor of the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu of Han? Emperor Wu of Han sent troops to sweep the north of Momen, and the Huns did not dare to invade the south for hundreds of years, far ahead of the Han Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang who was surrounded by Baideng and the Queen Mother Lu who swallowed his anger. If it weren't for Emperor Wu of Han, you wouldn't know where you were? But according to your traitor personality, I must like to be a Hun. And Emperor Taizong of Tang, who was far from being as weak as you said. When he went to Momen, he almost destroyed the country and destroyed the Turks. He had three defeats in three battles, but he still had ambitions. It was not until his son succeeded to the throne that the hidden dangers in Liaodong were completely eliminated."

Hou Xun was dumbfounded and dared not speak out.

Zhang Heming, Minister of War, remarked: "Emperor, Jiannu has no generals, so he has his son and grandson as generals. This time, Liaoyang fell, Dudu and Nikan were in Jiannu's army. After the city was broken, the two led their troops to massacre the people of our Ming Dynasty and committed heinous crimes. They should be cut into pieces."

Most of the officials of the court read the "(Dibao) supplement" every day, and unconsciously developed a deep hatred towards Jiannu. Except for some people who were ill-hearted, everyone agreed with Zhang Heming's opinion.

So the fate of Dudu and others decided that they would be executed in Lingchi, Xishi three days later.

After walking out of the Forbidden City, Hou Xun felt lost and was slapped in the face from physical to psychological slap, which made him very embarrassed. It would be fine if the emperor punished Zhu Cheng heavily, but the emperor held up the board and fell gently. Zhu Chengjun was guilty of being guilty of being punished by his salary for three months. Everyone knows that Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian are in business together, and their salary is as wealthy as the country. For him, the salary is simply drizzle, and only three months of fine is so light that it cannot be punished lightly. It was a common thing to reject the minister's suggestion, but after the court dispersal, a group of colleagues looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were looking at an alien.

"What should I do? Let's drink to drown my sorrows." Hou Xun stood at the palace gate for a long time, and finally decided to go to the tavern and sit down before going home.

An hour later, Hou Xun wandered back to his mansion drunk. He saw a group of people around his doorstep from afar. He felt very strange. He squeezed into the crowd and saw a storyteller sitting there, who was sitting there, and was teaching storyteller. He found it funny. His home was in a secluded corner of Beijing, which was a place to be quiet in the midst of chaos. How many listeners can there be here? But after listening for a while, his face turned pale, and his alcohol turned into cold sweats and all came out, because the storyteller was talking about what happened in the court today.

He overturned the storyteller's desk and was about to argue with him, but someone pulled him into the door of the mansion. When he looked back, he found that the person who pulled him was his butler Hou Wangcai.

Hou Xun was furious: "Wangcai, when I saw someone choreographing the master, why didn't you come forward and remove his bones? Are you a good meal? Then what's the use of the master to support you?"

Wangcai replied with a sad face: "Master, I dare not care. They are Jinyiwei."

"Emperor Yiwei?" Hou Xun asked suspiciously, "When did the Emperor Yiwei change careers and become a storyteller?"

"Who said no? As soon as I heard someone shouting at the door, I went out to send the person away. Unexpectedly, before I could speak, the man handed me a sign to show me, Jinyiwei! I almost didn't scare me to death. Other servants said that Jinyiwei in Beijing was talking about the court today. Master, who have you offended?"

Hou Xun fell on the chair and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Zhu Cheng, are you forcing me to death."

The next morning, Hou Xun found that his bad luck had not yet ended because the "(Dibao) Supplement" published the entire process of yesterday's meeting. The "(Dibao) Supplement" was sold nationwide. This time, Hou Xun was considered to be terrible in the Ming Dynasty.

A few days later, Hou Xun, who could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, took the initiative to resign. The emperor did not try to keep him and approved his resignation very happily. Hou Xun did not dare to return to his hometown because he knew that the villagers might have prepared a large basket of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves for him.

He moved to Penglai, Shandong, and did not dare to use his real name and change his surname to Yan. His descendants produced a famous man who liked to praise Jiannu's stinky feet and criticized Zhu Cheng for being worthless, and made a living. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
