Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 37 Eunuchs are all masters
  Xu Xingzu acted very quickly. Not long after he came back, he brought over a pot of stewed tiger meat.

In addition, he also used tiger bones to make a pot of soup. The remaining parts of the tiger were used to make wine or sent to the Taiyuan Hospital as medicinal materials. Zhu Xuan didn't want to eat it after eating it for a while. It tastes worse than expected.

After a simple meal, Zhu Xuan was frightened and walked in the garden for another day. He was so tired that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hou Xian to take him back to rest.

When he returned to the small courtyard, he covered his head and fell asleep.

Hou Xian smiled slightly when he saw this, but after fighting with the tiger, his whole body was sore.

Fortunately, after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang personally arranged for an imperial doctor to come over to treat his injuries, and also gave Hou Xian a lot of gold and silver as a reward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hou Xian knelt down and faced the Jinshen Hall where Zhu Yuanzhang worked. He kowtowed a few times before putting his things away and asking the imperial doctor to treat his body.

The incident of the tiger descending from the mountain was completely over at this point.

Zhu Yuanzhang just regarded it as an accident and did not pursue anything. Zhu Xuan and Zhu Yunxi knew that it was not an accident, but it was hard to do anything now, so they just pretended not to know and would talk about it later.

the next day.

Perhaps Lao Zhu considered that after a day of hunting yesterday, all the princes and grandsons were tired, so he announced a day off and no need to go to the main hall for classes.

Zhu Xuan slept comfortably all night. After getting up early, he saw Xu Huizu coming to deliver breakfast in person.

He and Xu Huizu were polite for a while, and then their eyes fell on Hou Xian.

"Why does the little grandson keep looking at this slave?"

Hou Xian was a little embarrassed to be seen.

Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Hou Xian, have you practiced the Sunflower Book?"

"What book?"

"Oh...it turns out there is no such thing."

Zhu Xuan originally asked casually, but now he asked seriously: "Aren't you very powerful in martial arts? I think Yan Guan is not as good as you. Where did you learn it?"

He was like a curious baby, asking several questions in succession.

So that’s what I wanted to ask about!

Hou Xian was thinking that the little emperor must have read too much "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he was very attracted to the generals in it, and wanted to learn some skills. He smiled and said: "When I was in the Eighteen Clan of Xifan, I had a relationship with a The old man had learned boxing and kicking for several years. Later, the old man passed away, and the slave went to Taozhou alone. When he was still young and energetic, he had a conflict with the Ming army, and finally ended up like this."

Zhu Xuan thought for a while and asked: "With your strength, will you be captured by the army?"

"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't defeat a large number of people."

Thinking of what happened at the time, Hou Xian was very sad and sighed: "No matter how good I am, I am still just a human being. It is not surprising that I would become like this. Later, I was taken to Huitian and became a eunuch, so I accepted it calmly. "

"No, no!"

Zhu Xuan listened and quickly shook his head and said: "You have changed from a martial arts master to a eunuch. Don't you resent us? Will you be willing to serve us as a slave?"

"Don't dare to resent!"

Hou Xian quickly knelt down and explained: "Actually, I should thank the court."

"why?"

Zhu Xuan was deeply interested and asked him to get up and talk.

After Hou Xian got up, he bowed gratefully and continued: "Back then, I learned some boxing and kicking skills and then went out to work, completely ignoring my family. My mother and wife fell ill and died without me knowing, and only my father and youngest son were left at home. , I don’t know how difficult it is to live.”

"You still have a wife and children?"

Zhu Xuan interrupted, but it was normal to think about it.

Hou Xian entered the palace after getting married, so he would naturally have a wife and children.

"some!"

Hou Xian nodded and explained: "Regardless of what happened to my family, I didn't know anything about what happened to my family. Not long after I entered the palace, I met Eunuch Yunqi. He saw that I was a shrewd man, so he accepted me as his adopted son and allowed me to go back." I was visiting relatives, and then I discovered that at home... ugh!"

"Later, my adoptive father heard about my family's situation and gave me a lot of money so that they would not be in poverty."

It turns out that he still has such an experience.

"Then your father, will he be angry when he sees you like this?"

Zhu Xuan asked curiously. In ancient times, the status of eunuchs was very awkward. They were not complete men.

Hou Xian smiled bitterly and said: "It's all my ignorance. Even my father's anger can't save me from this situation. I can only work as a slave in the palace. I make some money and send it all back to them. That's enough."

"It's not easy for you!"

This was the first time Zhu Xuan learned about Hou Xian.

Hou Xian smiled and said: "Thank you, little emperor grandson, for your understanding."

Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Can you practice your boxing and kicking skills for me?"

"of course can!"

Hou Xian did not hesitate and started performing directly in the yard.

He seemed to be quite strong, his punches were powerful and he fought with great strength, looking like a generational master.

If he wasn't a eunuch, he might be able to get along as well as Jiang Yu in the Jinyi Guards. Sure enough, eunuchs might be hidden martial arts masters. Those movies weren't bragging.

Looking at Hou Xian's kung fu, he is really strong.

Zhu Xuan suddenly had an idea, I want to learn, I want to learn.

These skills must be learned.

With this martial arts master by his side, how could he miss such a great opportunity.

When Hou Xian finished the drill, Zhu Xuan hurriedly walked over and said, "Teach me, I want to learn!"

Hou Xian laughed and said: "Little emperor, practicing martial arts is very hard."

"I'm not afraid of hardship. Let's learn now, okay?"

Zhu Xuan blinked his big eyes, full of expectation.

When Hou Xian saw him, how could he harden his heart and not teach him, and teach the little emperor grandson everything he knew.

Zhu Xuan soon discovered that Hou Xian was not bragging and that practicing martial arts was really hard.

But he gritted his teeth and worked hard, no matter how hard it was, he had to keep practicing.

-

Before I knew it, it was time to go to school again.

Zhu Xuan got up early in the morning and practiced according to Hou Xian's instructions before going to the main hall.

The princes and grandsons were still inexplicably excited about the hunting. Although it was thrilling for a while, it was quickly ignored and they seemed to want to go again.

Zhu Xuan could see that Zhu Yunwen came early today and was full of confidence.

In the past two years, this was the first time he had seen Zhu Yunwen in such a confident state.

"This cheap guy seems to be floating again."

Zhu Xuan was thinking.

But he also felt ironic when he thought that Zhu Yunwen's confidence also came from himself.

Let’s write this down first.

As long as I am here, you, Zhu Yunwen, will never be able to become emperor, even in your lifetime.

"Little brother!"

At this time, Zhu Yunxi also came and apologized: "My second brother was wrong that day. I shouldn't have gone to hunt the tiger. I accidentally drove the tiger down and scared my younger brother."

"Second brother, I'm not afraid!"

Zhu Xuan cutely said: "When I was at Grandpa Huang's place, I took a few bites of tiger meat and vented my anger."

"It's good that I'm not afraid, little brother."

Zhu Yunxi could finally let go of his guilt.

After waiting for a while, the gentleman came, but it was not Qi Tai who came today, but Fang Xiaoru, whom Zhu Xuan had only met a few times.
