In the middle of the night, bad news came from the Zhu family's mansion. The Zhu family's son-in-law Zhou Rui died.
I heard that Zhou Rui's illness was very serious this time, and the doctor just came, and Zhou Rui breathed his last breath under the doctor's nose.
Zhou Rui died unwillingly, at least in the eyes of the doctor. His wife was amazingly beautiful and pregnant.
When a man has a fortune and a beautiful wife, who is still pregnant with a child, this should be the happiest moment for a man. If he dies at this time, no matter who he is, he will struggle. .
Because he was his adopted son-in-law, the funeral could not be held in the main house. Mrs. Zhu specially purchased a small courtyard as a burial place. The beautiful wife Zhou Rui and several maids were sent to the court to send him off for the last time. One journey.
The Zhu family's mansion has always been mysterious in Chang'an City. There are real maids in Chang'an City. They are the only family members of the court master. The maids and court masters of other families are just helpers hired by the master's family. They can be hired at any time. Can all walk away.
According to court regulations, whether a person is dead or not must be judged by his wife before he can truly be considered dead. Due to the rapid onset of Zhou Rui's illness, his wife was worried that the disease would pass. After checking it, he asked Zhu to burn Zhou Rui's body in a hurry.
So, when the funeral is held, the corpses are placed in the halls of other people's homes, while the ashes are placed in their homes.
Zhu Yuwei, who is dressed in white and plain, is incredibly beautiful. After becoming pregnant, her temperament has changed a lot. She is no longer the pitiful look of the past, but has a touch of calmness and elegance.
She did not cry when her husband died, but the sad sound of the guzheng could often be heard from the small house she bought.
So much so that the literati and poets in Chang'an City sighed - a lonely beauty is locked in a desolate courtyard.
The way Zhu Yuwu plays the guzheng is simply fascinating.
This was said by Jin Hu.
The former Zhu Yuwu did not leave such an impression on Jin Hu.
It can be seen that it is not enough for a woman to be good-looking, she also needs experience and talent to decorate her.
Jin Hu is an imperial major general!
He has a great reputation in Southeast Asia and has a reputation of being invincible.
Although military exploits are valuable in the army, they are not as important as the wealth they gained through war in Southeast Asia.
It was this wealth that supported the Lantian Dynasty to complete the land reform, expand education for all, and enable the Lantian Dynasty to survive the most difficult and difficult period of the founding of the country.
Nowadays, starting from Zhennanguan, there is a road that can directly reach Malacca. Although this road is not easy to walk, after owning countless elephants, Golden Tiger insisted on using these elephants. Little by little, the wealth belonging to Southeast Asia was carried out of the vast forest sea.
This road was a road of wealth for the Ming Dynasty, but for the indigenous people of Southeast Asia,Said, it is a road paved with flesh and blood.
A year ago, Jin Hu was recalled to Yushan and entered the Phoenix Mountain Military School for further training. After this training, he will officially serve as General Annan of the Lantian Empire.
Hong Chengchou will serve as the governor of Annan in the empire.
This Annan does not refer to Cochin, but covers almost the entire Indochina Peninsula. Since the empire has major economic interests in the Indochina Peninsula, General Annan’s Mansion also has the largest army, with a total of twenty As many as sixty thousand.
Jin Hu had no objections to the court's arrangements. The only thing he found troublesome was that the study time took too long this time.
The courses arranged for him by the military academy were very intensive. They not only required reading military books, but also had specialized teachers to teach him politics, economics, philosophy and other subjects.
According to the Ministry of War, if he cannot pass these courses, he will not be able to take office in Annan.
Jin Hu sat in the dormitory, looking out the window at the recruits running past shouting slogans. He sighed slightly and focused his attention on the "Political Economics" on the table again. .
If you do something wrong, you must pay a price.
The fact that he had an affair with Zhu Yuwu and had a child was nothing. After all, it was a very personal matter. However, Zhu Yuwu killed Zhou Rui, which was not an ordinary mistake.
On that night, after Zhu Yawu ordered Zhou Rui to be killed, the people from the Supervision Department did not alert Zhu Yawu, but directly found him, Jin Hu.
Poor Zhu Yuwu still thinks that she does things without knowing it.
Three months of grounding!
This is the final punishment given by the Supervision Department after reviewing Jin Hu.
Jin Hu knew that from now on, whatever Zhu Yuwei did would eventually be blamed on him.
He did not protest, let alone make any resistance, and accepted the punishment calmly.
When Xia Wanchun left Yushan, he had a drink with him once. When asked about his views on Southeast Asia, Jin Hu did not express his own thoughts, even though he clearly knew that Xia Wanchun's question was basically what the emperor meant.
So, he spent three days writing "Nothing in Southeast Asia" and sent it to the emperor's desk through the Ministry of War.
Jin Hu doesn’t trust Xia Wanchun. He has never trusted him before. When fighting together to defend against the enemy, he will give his back to Xia Wanchun without hesitation. After returning to Guanzhong, as long as he knows Xia Wanchun appeared within a hundred feet of him, and he would keep one eye open even when sleeping.
When he was in the academy, Xia Wanchun was his mortal enemy of Mu Tiantao.
While in the capital, Xia Wanchun and Mu Tiantao worked closely together.
During the year when he returned to Yushan to complete his final studies, Jin Hu and Xia Wanchun were locked in an inseparable fight.
The differences are not only about origin, but also about knowledge!
He hadn’t finished reading the book, but when it was time to eat, a young and excessive recruit came to the door of his room carrying a food box. After shouting a report, he entered the door, laid out today’s meals, and left.
Jin Hu sat expressionlessly at the table and began to eat. The food in the military academy was good and varied. Today’s vegetarian dish was fried eggs with tomatoes, and the meat dish was fried pork with chili peppers. There was no rice, only big rice. A bowl of noodles and a bowl of vegetable soup.
Jin Hu poured the two vegetables into the basin, stirred them, and ate them with big mouthfuls.
The study time has been extended by three months... His military appointment may also change later... As long as he takes it out when the people from the Supervision Department ask him, these things will be magical. disappear.
However, Jin Hu did not do that. Instead, he told the people in the Supervision Department that Zhou Rui killed himself.
That weak woman cannot afford such a thing!
He knew very well why the woman who had tolerated it for many years would risk killing Zhou Rui.
It’s all for him.
I don’t want him to feel even the slightest bit humiliated.
After finishing the bowl of noodles, Jin Hu felt that his whole body was full of strength.
Then, he saw Yun Zhao's cold eyes.
"I will see you at last, Your Majesty."
Jin Hu knelt on one knee and said.
"Are you pleading for that stupid woman?"
Yun Zhao's voice was cold, and there seemed to be ice between his teeth.
"Report to Your Majesty, that is my woman and my child. If the general does not even have this responsibility, Your Majesty will look down upon the general even more."
"Asshole!"
Jin Hu lowered his head, not daring to meet Yun Zhao’s sharp eyes.
"You don't think that you won't be able to play with Annan after I leave, do you?"
Jin Hu lowered his head and said: "I am a fierce general in Lantian like clouds, and my advisers are like rain. I have more." One is not too much, one is too little for me."
"You are so arrogant!"
"That's what your Majesty said."
Yun. Zhao took two steps outside the window with his hands behind his back, looked back at Jin Hu and said, "You have to make a choice."
Jin Hu raised his head and said, "The general made his choice when he returned to Yushan from the capital. Okay, I will serve my Ming Dynasty to the death."
When Yun Zhao heard this, the frost on his face went away a little, and he sighed slightly: "Why should a man not have a wife? You just chose the best one. It's a bad choice. I can still tolerate you a little bit now. When the laws of the empire are complete, it will kill you if you do this."
Jin Hu whispered: "The reason why the general is so great. Bao Dalaan knows that His Majesty will give the general a way to survive."
Yun Zhao looked at Jin Hu and said: "You bled for the empire, you fought for the empire, and I will remember every contribution you made. , among the next generation, I am most optimistic about you and Xia Wanchun.
Now, Xia Wanchun has set off to the Western Regions, what about you.? Are you ready to continue studying here? "
Jin Hu suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor and said with tears: "Your Majesty, this is what I am like. I will not betray the empire. If you ask me to abandon that poor woman, neither will I."
Zhu Ming is dead, and they are unable to make any more waves. If there is any, the ministers will strangle him cleanly without His Majesty's words.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
Yun Zhao said bitterly: "It is my greatest mercy to allow them to live." ”
“I beg your majesty to show mercy, I am willing to pledge my life and fortune.” "
"Your entire family in Prince Mu's Mansion is now settled in Luoyang. I heard that they are living a good life. This is all due to you.
I changed your name specifically because I want you to make a break with the past. You are such a loser. You gave up your great future for a mere woman, and you have to go to Prince Mu's Mansion. , is it really worth it? "
"Wei Chen has seen Emperor Chongzhen of the previous dynasty. At that time, he was already crazy. He was carrying a short blunderbuss like a headless goshawk stumbling around, panicking like a bereaved dog.
When Minister Han was having a drink with him, Wei Chen was nearby. Wei Chen watched with his own eyes as he gave up the fine wine and chose poisonous wine. He drank the entire pot full of poisonous wine. His seven orifices were bleeding and he was still drinking heavily.
Before he died, he was still shouting - Ming Dynasty is over, Ming Dynasty is over.
Your Majesty, Zhu Ming is indeed dead. At that time, Wei Chen felt indescribable joy in his heart, because Wei Chen knew that only when Zhu Ming was dead could I, Lantian, save the people of the world.
Without death, there would be no life.
The ministers cheer for His Majesty, cheer for the new Ming Dynasty, and cheer for the people of the world.
However, Zhu Yuwu was just a poor woman. Everything she did was done out of fear. Weichen could abandon Emperor Zhu Ming, but he could not abandon this woman.
Because this woman is Wei Chen’s only remaining conscience and justice. ”
