first class maid

Chapter 59
Xun Zhen, who was following behind, couldn't help muttering, "It's what he deserves, he asked for it, it's cheaper for him not to poke a few blood holes..."

As if the man in front heard her muttering, he turned his head and glared at her. She quickly kept silent, and couldn't help but greet the eighteen generations of his family's ancestors in her heart.

Ever since the cold-faced general with a Chinese face and Fu Yanhan, the first-rank official of the dynasty, and Sun Datong rushed to report, Zhuang Cui'e didn't dare to sit down again, and stood aside respectfully with her hands down. Of course, she couldn't help looking at her That cold-faced general who doesn't seem to have seen much.

Yan Han personally put the tea bowl in front of Zhou Sicheng, "It's rare for General Zhou to come back to the Imperial Capital. This is the latest tea that is abundant in the Imperial Capital this year. General?"

Zhou Sicheng snorted coldly, touched Hu Lachazi under his chin, "I'm a vulgar person, I don't understand the crafts of you literati, and I can't taste whether this bowl of tea is good or bad? Master Yan, if you have something to say, please let me know." Say it quickly, let it go if you have farts, what is the prince's business in announcing me to come to the East Palace?"

Hmph, a group of bastards, if Marshal Xun hadn't issued a death order to restrain them before he died, this imperial capital would have been turned upside down long ago, how could the old emperor's throne be so secure?If there is something that is needed, he will be treated with great courtesy, and if it is not needed, he will be served with a guillotine. If he hadn't read the old marshal Xun's thought of protecting his family and the country, Zhou Sicheng would have put down his burden and quit, and went home to plow the fields.

"General Zhou, don't be impatient. His Royal Highness has admired the general for a long time. Otherwise, as soon as he learns that the general has returned to Beijing to enter the palace, he will immediately invite the general to come and talk." Yan Han is always so good-tempered, not because of Zhou Sicheng got angry when he spoke harshly.

"Admiration?" Zhou Sicheng thought about this sentence, a little mocking, recalling the rumors about the current prince, it seems that there are not many, he is very low-key, and he gets along with the courtiers in harmony, but he has never heard of anyone who has a close relationship with him.The Eastern Palace will reach the crown, and the emperor is still in his prime. It is really embarrassing. No one knows whether he can survive to ascend to the throne. "I'm a vulgar person, how can he deserve His Royal Highness's admiration? Taifu Yan is joking."

It seems that Donggong is not as low-key as the rumors say, but he has no intention or intention to get involved in this kind of dispute. He will return to Beijing at the behest of the foolish emperor, and it is also for the ideal of Marshal Xun, which is different from being loyal to the royal family.

"General Zhou..." When Yan Han was about to say something more, he heard someone laughing outside: "General Zhou, the Taifu is not wrong. I have heard that the Taifu said that the general was in the battle in northern Xinjiang. He said at the time that Li Li beheaded General Hu in the midst of thousands of troops, if one day, Gu must meet General Zhou in person, but it took him many years to wait."

Hearing this, Zhou Sicheng turned his head to look, and saw a young man about 20 years old calmly stepping in. The clothes should undoubtedly belong to the prince Yu Wenhong, and he looked at the other party's face presumptuously. Gao Ting had a wide forehead and a calm atmosphere. With a good face, the other party was neither angry nor annoyed at his scrutiny, and still looked calm and relaxed. After a long while, he just imitated that Yan Han and saluted, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Yu Wenhong was very kind at this time, he stepped forward to help Zhou Sicheng upright himself, and said gently: "General Zhou has worked hard all the way to Beijing, and I am the only one who knows that the general will enter the palace to meet the saint, so I took the opportunity to talk to the general." Not to mention that Zhou Sicheng was born in the Xun family's army. After the Xun family's accident, although he was not punished, he was squeezed out and sent to a small place to serve as a general, and he went there for seven years.

Xun Zhen, who followed behind, saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so kind, how could he have such a vicious and annoying look in front of her?I couldn't help but slander a few words in my heart.

Zhou Sicheng's reaction to the prince's enthusiasm was neither cold nor indifferent, and he distanced himself from Yu Wenhong at the slightest movement, "I am a minister of the Hua Kingdom, how can I disobey the imperial edict? Besides, the allusions heard by His Royal Highness, the credit is not If I am alone, I am not as good as the old Marshal Xun, I am not as good as General Xun, and I am not as brave and tenacious as my Xun family army, so there is no such allusion of the minister."

These words were filled with resentment and accusations against the Yuwen imperial family's indiscriminate loyalty and traitors, and only Zhou Sicheng dared to say that.

Yan Han stood aside calmly. If he imagined Zhou Sicheng as a reckless man, he would be wrong. If the war in northern Xinjiang was not urgent, the ministers headed by Liu Xiang would not agree to re-appoint Zhou Sicheng. This is what he has nothing to fear Everywhere, as soon as his eyes intersected with Yu Wenhong's, they knew each other well.

Yu Wenhong knew that it was not easy for this bloody man to belong to him. He could not give up both political power and military power. His father still trusts him quite a bit now, but as he grows older, if someone provokes him again, The East Palace will be a heart disease of the father. "General Zhou's meaning is completely clear, but this cannot obliterate the general's bravery..."

For so many years, this is the first time that Xun Zhen heard someone speak justice for her Xun family in the court. At this time, her eyes were already filled with tears, and she suddenly looked up at Zhou Sicheng, who had a Chinese face. It seems that I have seen him before. He is the subordinate of Grandpa and Daddy?
"Your Highness doesn't understand that anyone in the Hua Kingdom can betray the country and turn to the enemy, but the Xun family can't." Zhou Sicheng had been betting on this for many years. When he first met the emperor, he could only hold back his words. It was Xun's army who was born and died to protect them, so we can't just watch Hugou invade the national border again.

But when Yu Wenhong brought up his so-called heroic deeds again, he couldn't bear it any longer, at least he would let his father pay off his debts, so he said this in front of Yu Wenhong, the crown prince. He is not afraid that the words will spread, this is the East Palace, once he came in to see the posture of the East Palace, the crown prince should be extremely strict, whether it is spread or not is just a word from Yu Wenhong.

The loyalty of the generals of the Xun family to the Xun family not only did not dislike Yu Wenhong, Zhou Sicheng's attitude was a good thing for him at this time, after all he still held the trump card of the orphan of the Xun family in his hand. She couldn't help crying after all, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Xun Zhen's life in the past ten years has been half happy and half bitter, just for her mother's exhortation, she tried her best not to remember the Xun family's case back then, but now someone is doing it for her in front of this mighty prince. How can her relatives speak up outrightly without making her cry?
