Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 901 Finally Waiting For This Day

Come from all directions in the wind pavilion.

"It can only be said that it is not completely hopeless." He Zhen sighed: "A bunch of people who only care about eating and not fighting. It is never useful to talk to them properly. I really have no hope for them."

"We still need to treat illnesses and save people, and try to get them to change their ways." Zhu Zhen glanced at He Zhen.

"Yes, His Highness said that we can only do our best." He Zhen nodded and said, "But I have already placed my hope on the next generation."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said sincerely: "After hearing that His Highness founded a Guozi University, I shamelessly asked Your Highness to enroll students in Lingnan... To put it bluntly, it is to reserve some places for the children of these families so that they can grow up well. Only by gaining knowledge and learning how to be loyal to the emperor and love the country can they be different from their fathers."

Zhu Zhen showed a sudden smile. In order to reassure himself, Lao He was sending hostages.

"He Lao has such a heart, it is really a blessing for the wealthy people in Guangdong." Since he was so righteous, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but express his feelings.

"Normally, if you want to go to the Guozi University, you have to pass the exams from the county, prefecture, and province. But since Mr. He has spoken, I will specially grant you thirty places. You can allocate them yourself."

"Thank you, Your Highness." He Zhen was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

"But the ugly words are ahead. Guozi University is open to entry and exit. If you send some idiots in, it will be ugly." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I can't open the back door for you anymore."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we are also heirs of poetry and calligraphy, and our descendants are not all idiots," He Zhenye said with a smile: "We must choose the best among the best, and we must not embarrass Guangdong."

"Hahaha, Mr. He said that, and I feel relieved." Zhu Zhen laughed and nodded, and the two people quickly disappeared and became like glue.

~~

After He Zhen established an initial friendship with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the situation in Guangdong was completely stable.

The Chief Secretary, the Prosecutor's Office, the Guangzhou Prefecture, and the two county government offices are all busy trying old cases. The local tyrants were locked in small courtyards and wrote confession materials day after day.

As for Zhu Liangzu, he had already gone to Guangxi under the pretext of checking combat readiness. After all, countless people have proven that staying away from the old six is ​​good for physical and mental health.

It wasn't until early July that he dared to show up in Guangzhou again.

"It's not easy. I have finally waited for this day." Looking at the familiar city of Guangzhou, Marquis Yongjia felt high-spirited and high-spirited that he had not seen in a long time.

"Yes, once the official departure order is announced today, let's see who can do anything to win the general." His generals also felt that they could see the moonlight after the clouds cleared.

"This is called a small impatience that messes up a big plan." Zhu Liangzu proudly curled up his neat beard.

A few days ago, the imperial envoy carrying the order had already entered Guangdong and would arrive in Guangzhou today. He was coming back to receive the order.

The imperial envoy will announce the final date for dispatching troops. From the moment he receives the order, all armies and local governments in Guangdong and Guangxi will completely enter a wartime state, and everything must make way for war.

Of course, it is no longer possible to change coaches temporarily due to non-military reasons. As for military factors, Zhu Liangzu was not worried at all. He had never lost a battle.

In order to welcome this long-awaited day, Zhu Liangzu also specially trimmed his beard, cut his nose hair, changed into a brand new python robe, and polished the jade belt around his waist. He was even more thoughtful than the day he became the groom.

After all, he became a bridegroom in no time, but the day of complete liberation only came once a thousand years.

The group of people rode into Guangzhou City in high spirits, and the common people had a conditioned reflex. When they saw the people from the Zhengnan General's Mansion, they quickly pushed carts and carried baskets, and helped the old and the young to the side of the road to avoid, for fear of being killed by these rampaging creatures. Bandits hit.

Zhu Liangzu's men laughed loudly and came back, all came back. The good old days are finally back!

The happy mood did not end abruptly until the moment I saw the imperial envoy delivering the decree outside the Great North Gate.

Zhu Liangzu's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw the tall, tall, jujube-faced, wolf-browed and eagle-eyed young man coming down in front of him surrounded by hundreds of riders. “Marquis Yongchang?!”

"Marquis Yongjia." It was Lan Yu who came, riding on a tall horse, looking at Zhu Liangzu with a half-smile.

"Aren't you in the northwest?" Zhu Liangzu's heart was pounding and he asked a little rudely: "Why did you come to Guangzhou?"

"That's what Marquis Yongjia said." Lan Yu laughed loudly and said, "How can people with your status like you and me run away with nothing? Of course, we are on an errand to convey the order to Marquis Yongjia."

"It's just to announce the departure date, why does the emperor specially transfer you back from Hezhou?" Zhu Liangzu's voice was obviously tight.

"I don't know what the decree is." Lan Yu deliberately pretended to be secretive and said, "We will have to wait until the decree is officially announced."

"Okay, please." Zhu Liangzu quickly stepped aside to give way.

His generals also obviously felt that something was wrong, and they all whispered to each other about what medicine was being sold in the gourd.

In short, it won't be a good medicine... because people like Lan Yu are like night owls entering the house wherever they go, and nothing good will happen.

~~

Marquis Yongjia anxiously asked the imperial envoy Yongchang Marquis to enter the general's palace, and set up an incense table in front of the lobby. They had done enough foreplay, but Lan Yu still did not announce the decree.

"Yongchang Hou, what are you waiting for?" Zhu Liangzu asked in a muffled voice.

"Waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the officials from Guangzhou City." Lan Yu rubbed the card box with a yellow seal in her hand and said calmly.

"Does it still have to be so grand?" Zhu Liangzu's men muttered.

"What do you think?" Lan Yu asked coldly. Although he was young, his evil aura was extremely strong. The commander shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.

"Then wait." Zhu Liangzu didn't remember whether there were people who watched the ceremony on such occasions in the past, but since Lan Yu said there were, then there should be.

After patiently waiting for a cup of tea, Lin Zhongmo, Dao Tong, Guangzhou prefect Sun Ding and other Yangcheng officials arrived hand in hand. Even He Zhen, who had become an official at home, was called...

The generals under Marquis Yongjia were very happy to see this scene. "It's good to do it in such a grand way, so that King Chu can see how much the emperor attaches importance to this southern expedition."

"Yes, this is to give Mr. Hou a boost of momentum."

"..." Zhu Liangzu thought so too, but seeing Lan Yu's arrogant and indifferent face, he really didn't dare to be too optimistic.

After a while, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's chariot also arrived.

Since Zhu Zhen entered Guangzhou, this was the second time he put on his dragon robe, and his back was soaked with sweat all the way from the camp.

But at this moment, he could only pretend that nothing had happened and got out of the car, smiling at the civil and military officials who greeted him.

"Okay, let's all get up." Then he smiled at Lan Yu and said, "I haven't seen you Yongchang Marquis for two years. I hope you are fine."

"The general will pay homage to His Highness!" Lan Yu's reaction was a bit outrageous. He actually walked up to Lao Liu, lifted the hem of his official robe, pushed the golden mountain, turned over the jade pillar, and gave His Highness the King of Chu a solid kowtow.
