My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 35
At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, all civil and military officials came together.Standing in twos and threes outside the Meridian Gate, they seem to be chatting away, but in fact they can separate into small groups.

For example, Jian Yi was always surrounded by courtiers to flatter him, and so were the other ministers.

Yang Rong, Xie Jin, six or seven cabinet bachelors also got together and huddled together.

Xu Jingchang has always been miserable, he is a loner, no one wants to get close to him.

But today's situation is a bit special. Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu followed closely by his side, wandering back and forth, just like a small follower.

This scene shocked everyone.

Is this still the arrogant Zhu Gaoxu?

Don't be fooled!

On Xungui's side, Qiu Fu and others also came, but because of the previous incident, Qiu Fu was angry at Zhu Gaoxu's incompetence, so he didn't come to say hello.

Surprisingly, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng came over on his own initiative.

"Xu Tongzheng, thank you for your mooncakes. Go back and pick some good bows from me. You are a general, you can't let go of your riding and shooting skills."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "I really want to learn, but I suffer from no famous teacher..."

"I'm coming!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said excitedly: "Cousin, if you want to learn, you can learn from me. My martial arts are what my father said."

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes at him, that's all you can brag about, but don't delay me forming a clique.

"The king of Han still serves his filial piety by His Majesty's side. I have time to ask Duke Cheng for advice."

Zhu Neng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I can't ask for it."

While they were chatting, two more people came over, a monk and a civil servant.

Yao Guangxiao and Xia Yuanji also came together.

When Xu Jingchang saw this scene, he immediately understood that this old Xia was really a ghost. He went to ask Empress Xu for protection, and he found Master Yao.

In order to survive, it is not easy for everyone.

Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji exchanged glances, they were both degenerates in Tianya, so they could only report to the group to keep warm.

In fact, if you look closely, their group is not small.

One prince, two high-ranking ministers, two high-ranking princes, spanning civil and military affairs, rich in money and soldiers... But after careful analysis, this is not the case.

Because of his own stupidity, Zhu Gaoxu ruined a good thing, and he was full of annoyance, and he didn't know how to make it up.Because of taxation, Xia Yuanji has enemies all over the world.

Zhu Neng can't be said to be very good, at least Qiu Fu is back, and he is not so comfortable as the second in command of Jing Nan's nobles.

Because of his background, Yao Guangxiao could only be a lone minister in the court and could not get along with anyone.

Even Xu Jingchang himself is disgusted by people, and there is no one who can do this as an official.

The so-called not being a family, not entering a family, this is quite appropriate.

But at this moment, another person rushed over. He looked around and plunged into Xu Jingchang's circle.

This person is tall and tall, with a dignified appearance, graceful and luxurious, and looks great.

It is the hereditary Cao Guogong, who specially entered Dr. Guanglu, Zuo Zhuguo, and Li Jinglong, the prince and grand teacher!

According to what Zhu Di said when he entered the city, Li Jinglong was the leader of the heroes.

Ah!
This is reasonable.

After all, if he hadn't sent hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhu Di would not have won so easily, not to mention that Li Jinglong took the initiative to open the city and sacrificed Yingtian, which is a great contribution.

It's just that as Zhu Di sat firmly on the dragon chair, Li Jinglong's life became uncomfortable.

He was attacked in unison from top to bottom.

The Ministry of Punishment impeached him for harboring evil intentions and plotting wrongdoing.The Ministry of Officials impeached him and his brother for conspiring to rebel.The Ministry of Rites even impeached him to accept the worship of slaves at home, just like the emperor.

Even the well-recognized virtuous king Zhou Wang Zhu Xi wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that Li Jinglong had asked him for bribes.

If Xu Jingchang is hated by people, then Li Jinglong is outraged by others, and everyone wants him to leave as soon as possible.Li Jinglong also knew that he didn't usually come out.

But for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have to come.

He didn't have time to observe carefully. Seeing that there were not many people, he came over.

When he got close, he found Zhu Gaoxu's cannibalistic eyes.

"Do you still have a face?"

In one sentence, Li Jinglong blushed and retreated nonchalantly, but Xu Jingchang smiled, "Cao Guogong, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you now?"

Li Jinglong said bitterly: "Let's just make do with it, you can't just live and die."

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes and wanted to curse, but Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, I recently received a note from the Ministry of Rites. I want to revise the record. I plan to recommend you to be in charge of military affairs. Are you interested?"

Li Jinglong was taken aback, as long as it was a job, he wanted to take it now, not to mention repairing the veritable record, even repairing horseshoes!

But who can agree to use him?

"Xu Tongzheng, I, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

"Don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth. My father said before he was alive that the noble son is second to none, and it is you Cao Guogong, who has civil and military skills, which are rare in this world."

Xu Jingchang praised Li Jinglong so highly that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng's eyeballs fell off. What the hell are you doing?

Fortunately, both of them still respected Xu Jingchang and held back their attacks.

On the other hand, the old monk Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, with a smile on his face.

"Cao Guogong, Xu Tongzheng has taken a fancy to you, and this old monk also thinks you are good."

Li Jinglong was shocked, this was what Yao Shaoshi said, he quickly thanked, without going into details, the gate of the palace opened and the officials entered.

Xu Jingchang and his group are all in the front, and the position is also the best.

After Zhu Di arrived, he was in a good mood with a smile on his face.

"Today's festive season, there is no need to stick to etiquette. Everyone drinks freely and expresses their feelings freely."

The ministers congratulated the emperor, and then the feast began.

Xu Jingchang's side was alright, and Wen Chen's side was even more honest, except for those Jingnan nobles, who didn't have a few glasses of wine, and started drinking five or six times.

As if they were back in the barracks again, they defeated the Southern Army in successive battles and were invincible.

At night, in the barracks, bonfires were lit, singing and dancing, unscrupulous.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was not only not angry, but was delighted and tried to persuade him to drink frequently.

At this moment, one of the nobles stood up, "Your Majesty, there are delicious wines and food, but there is nothing to add to the fun. I will perform martial arts for Your Majesty, just like in the barracks before."

The person who spoke was Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an.

Zhu Di smiled, "Okay, I know what you are capable of, you are the champion of all armies, and you are invincible."

Zheng Heng proudly said: "Thank you for your praise, I fought in Baigou back then, rushed to the front, beheaded countless people, and chased to Jinan City in one breath... By the way, I fled in front of me in embarrassment at that time, and I couldn't catch up The people above seem to be above the Golden Palace."

Zheng Heng set his eyes on Li Jinglong.

"Cao Guogong, although you are more famous than me, I am not convinced. How can you be brave when you are a defeated general?"

Li Jinglong's old face flushed, and he became more and more embarrassed. He was not attending a banquet, he was simply looking for scolding.

Zheng Heng sneered and said: "Well, I won't say anything, please Cao Guogong to fight against me, it's all for His Majesty's fun!"

How could Li Jinglong have the guts to fight Zheng Heng, and was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard Xu Jingchang clapping his hands and laughing.

"Okay, okay! The literati move their mouths, and the warriors use their hands. Zheng Heng, I remember well. Your father was a hereditary thousand household during the reign of Taizu, and Cao Guogong's father, King Qiyang, was the nephew of Emperor Taizu. This is also similar to the feast of the bronze bird." Taiwan, the five good generals will fight against the clan's heroes, it really is a battle between dragons and tigers, it's a good show."

As Xu Jingchang said, he walked up to Li Jinglong and said in a low voice, "Can you beat me well?"

Li Jinglong was taken aback, he was naturally able to fight, the question is, would he dare?

"Xu Tongzheng, I, I think today is a day of great joy, so it's not easy to do anything, so as not to hurt the peace..."

"wrong."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other. Your father and my grandfather are both state princes awarded by the Taizu. If you don't go up, you will let me go up. This is the face of several generations. The warriors fight All you need is one breath. If you are a real man, don't say you are not good enough, and don't embarrass your ancestors. Come, let me toast you first."

Li Jinglong's blood was surging, staring at the glass of wine, he gritted his teeth, "Thank you Xu Tongzheng, I'd better drink it after I win."

After speaking, Li Jinglong flew out with a brisk step, raised his fist, and threw it at Zheng Heng.

Zheng Heng didn't expect that this guy would take the initiative to attack, and he hurriedly met him, but he didn't expect that he was punched hard and made him retreat one after another... Li Jinglong rushed forward, swept his legs, and Zheng Heng fell to the ground in response .

Zheng Heng was stunned, got up from the ground, and said angrily: "You, you sneak attack, you don't talk about martial arts. I'm not ready yet!"

Li Jinglong punched and kicked out the anger in his chest, and couldn't help sneering: "Zheng Heng, come again if you don't accept it!"
