The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Xuanluo's mood has never been very calm. Originally, the matter had been discussed with Zhang Fan. After he sent Xia Lingbo's parents to Wumeng Mansion, he was sent to the capital, but Zhu Xuanluo didn't agree. I know why Zhang Fan changed his mind on the way, and he was sent away just after he came out of Chengdu Mansion.

And not only that, Zhu Xuanluo also knew that the next day, Zhu Xuanqi knew about this matter and sent someone to chase him. Fortunately, Zhang Fan's previous arrangements were very proper, and no one knew the way he was going. It's just that he didn't catch up. It's just that although Zhu Xuanluo has arrived in the capital safely, he still blames Zhang Fan more or less in his heart, complaining why Zhang Fan is so impatient, in case he is caught up by Zhu Xuanqi What should I do.

It's just that Zhu Xuanluo, who has no conscience at all, would know that the reason why Zhang Fan is so impatient is not entirely because of his unsteady behavior during the recent period. Zhang Fan is just afraid that he will suddenly change his mind, or What kind of variable is born, this is the thing that has been brought forward.

Needless to say, Zhu Xuanluo didn't know about it either. It was precisely because of him that Zhu Xuanqi discovered this matter early on, and Zhu Xuanqi's reaction after discovering it now put Zhang Fan in deep danger, and he might die at any time. Dangerous, of course, Zhu Xuanluo didn't know about these things, but he still blamed Zhang Fan here.

Now Zhang Fan is trying to find ways to overcome the difficulties. If Zhang Fan can return to the capital safely, I don't know if he will come to trouble Zhu Xuanluo, but now, Zhu Xuanluo doesn't know these things, and he still blames Zhang Fan in his heart.

But now, he is in the palace. In fact, Zhu Xuanluo arrived in the capital early this morning. He rushed back to the capital from Sichuan. In order to be afraid of any changes on the way, he didn't stop at all. He went out to eat and sleep. Besides, Zhu Xuanluo spent the rest of the time on his way, so he was able to rush back to the capital in such a short time.

And when he just arrived in the capital this morning, before he had time to rest, he was immediately reported into the palace, saying that the queen mother was going to summon him, so now, Zhu Xuanluo was waiting alone in this side hall. Before coming here, he ate a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, otherwise he would be tired and hungry sitting like this, even if he practiced martial arts since he was a child, he still can't stand it now.

But for Zhu Xuanluo today, it doesn't matter. After all, he is in the palace now, and he has been told that the queen mother will summon him. Now, no one will teach him about etiquette, but now, even Even the queen mother didn't think about these things, what she cared about was Zhu Xuanluo's affairs.

As for Zhu Xuanluo, he is extremely nervous now. After all, he doesn't know what Queen Mother Li plans to do, how she wants to use him to deal with Zhu Xuanqi, and whether such use will do him any harm, of course , and the most important thing is, after this matter is over, where will I go? After being used by Queen Mother Li once, I give up; or in the future, I can get what I want and get back my things; Or mediocrity, or even spending the rest of his life invisible, these things are all pressed in Zhu Xuanluo's heart.

Even Zhu Xuanluo feels that he has some regrets now, and it seems that he should not cooperate with Zhang Fan, but now that others are already in the palace, it is too late to think about these things, and now Zhu Xuanluo also I can only resign myself to fate and see if my fate can be luckier.

It's just that, this morning, when the ministers were still in court, he was put here to wait, and now, it has been two hours. According to the passing eunuch, the morning court They have all dispersed, but until now, Empress Dowager Li still has no intention of summoning him, which made him feel very uneasy. Although there is no reason for this uneasiness, after all, he is now in the At such a time, in such a place, it is natural to feel uneasy when encountering such a thing.

Under anxiety, people like to start thinking wildly. For example, if they haven't summoned themselves for such a long time, is it because Queen Mother Li has some unusual thoughts in her heart, or is she discussing how to deal with herself, or It's just that something happened in the palace that delayed it, and it has nothing to do with him.

All in all, Zhu Xuanluo, who was left hanging here, is now thinking nonstop in his heart. Sometimes he thinks of good things and feels that his future is bright, but sometimes he thinks of bad things and feels that this time Definitely going to die.

Until halfway through the hour, footsteps finally came from outside, and it was obvious that they were coming this way. At this moment, those chaotic thoughts in Zhu Xuanluo's mind disappeared immediately, and he waited intently, watching What kind of fate will you meet.

The one who came in was a little eunuch that Zhu Xuanluo had never seen before. Zhu Xuanluo was no stranger to eunuchs. As a prince, he was born in the Shu Palace, and there were also eunuchs in the palace. Some time ago, he changed his name and changed his surname. As a guard in the palace of the Prince of Shu, he had a lot of contact with the eunuchs, but Zhu Xuanluo looked down on the eunuchs from the bottom of his heart.

But it is different now, this is the imperial palace, and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, each of them has great abilities, even if he has not seen it with his own eyes, he has heard about it. In short, in the imperial palace, anyone can offend, that is You can't offend the eunuchs, let alone give you small shoes in the future, and even kill you without knowing it, you don't know where you offended them, let alone, now that he is here, and Although this eunuch is not very old, he is able to pass on a message. Obviously, he has some status in the palace, so he cannot be offended.

In short, when Zhu Xuanluo saw the little eunuch walking in, he immediately put on a smile and greeted him: "Eunuch,"

"You are Zhu Xuanluo." The eunuchs in the palace are really unusual, obviously his surname is Zhu, and it is obvious that he is the person the queen mother wants to summon, but they treat Zhu Xuanluo with no courtesy, just putting on airs, Not afraid at all, even more arrogant, "The Empress Dowager called you over, remember to be careful when you see the Empress Dowager, don't lose your manners,"

"Naturally," Zhu Xuanluo nodded hastily, and echoed with a smile, "I don't know this father-in-law's name,"

"My surname is Zhao,"

"It turned out to be Eunuch Zhao, and he has a lot to do at such a young age as an errand in the Palace of Compassion and Ning." Zhu Xuanluo hurriedly hit the snake with a stick, and immediately flattered him.

"Don't come here," said the young Eunuch Zhao, who actually just came to the Compassionate Ning Palace as an errand, although it has something to do with it, but it can't reach that level, so no one flatters him yet. Therefore, Zhu Xuanluo's words, although he knew in his heart that they were not sincere, and said so, but he also smiled.

And Zhu Xuanluo's eyesight is not bad, of course he could see that he was talking about the eunuch's heart, and hurriedly continued: "Oh, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart, the day when my father-in-law will be prosperous in the future must not be far away, "

"Don't talk about these things," although he still said so, but the smile on the little eunuch's face was even bigger, "Go quickly, don't let the queen mother wait,"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away," Zhu Xuanluo said hastily, "I just don't know, what happened to the Queen Mother summoning me now?"

"Why did the Queen Mother summon you, don't you have any idea?" the little eunuch asked rhetorically.

"Of course I know this, but..." Zhu Xuanluo thought for a while, and decided to ask, "I don't know what the Queen Mother is going to do now, and how the Queen Mother is feeling,"

"I don't know about that." The little eunuch is obviously too young, and he has some things to patronize his own mood, but he doesn't have much scheming, "It was Eunuch Feng who asked me to pass the message. What about the Queen Mother? I don't know either," he just told Zhu Xuanluo the truth, if he changed to someone who was older, he would have to put on a show first, at least he would have to cheat Zhu Xuanluo of a sum of money before he said this.

Hearing what he said, Zhu Xuanluo also knew that there was nothing left to ask now, so he could only walk towards the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Speaking of which, since entering the palace on this journey, although what Zhu Xuanluo saw in his eyes was naturally the majestic and luxurious appearance in the palace, but because Zhu Xuanluo really had something on his mind, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now, on the way to the Compassionate Ning Palace, when passing the garden, the scene still surprised Zhu Xuanluo.

Although it is said that it is now spring, but here is the north after all, the weather is still very cold, but the scenery here is no less than the appearance of the palace of the king of Shu, which naturally surprised Zhu Xuanluo, and wanted to come here for the scenery , I don't know how much it cost.

At such a moment, Zhu Xuanluo couldn't help feeling sorry for himself, not because of anything else, but still lamenting his life, why he wasn't born in the royal family.

Of course, this kind of thinking can't be said out loud, not to mention, he who was born in the Wang family has already gone through such a lot, and the person who was born in the royal family doesn't know what to do.

Followed the little eunuch surnamed Zhao to the front of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and was about to go up, but was stopped by someone.

"My lord, what's going on here," Eunuch Zhao asked, "It was the Queen Mother who summoned this man, and the servants brought him here."

"Now His Majesty is paying his respects to the Queen Mother, let's wait a while," said the father-in-law surnamed Wang.

Zhu Xuanluo on the side naturally heard it, and couldn't help thinking of the little emperor who had never been masked and ascended the throne at the age of ten, and couldn't help but sigh, Zhu Yijun's life is really too good , Why didn't he have such a fate.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a eunuch shouting "Your Majesty, drive back to the palace".

The eunuch Zhao on the side yelled badly. He heard that Zhu Yijun was here, and he wanted Zhu Xuanluo to avoid it first. After all, an outsider was in the palace, and he was still a young man. It's not good to be bumped into by the emperor.

But now there's no time,
