The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 430
Although Guo Wei's decree did not clearly limit the time when Zhu Xiu left Songzhou and arrived in Chanzhou, it can be seen from Li Wanchao's attitude that Uncle Guo attached great importance to this matter.

According to Li Wanchao's wishes, Zhu Xiu should leave overnight and head north to Chanzhou.

But it was already nightfall, and Zhu Xiu really didn't want to rush in the dark.

Secondly, Wu Youdi was seriously ill, and it was the first time for Zhu Wu and his family to enter Kaifeng City. They didn't even know which way the city gate opened. Without some warning, Zhu Xiu was really worried.

I took Li Wanchao to see Wu Youdi. Fortunately, this man was quite reasonable. He knew that Zhu Xiu was in trouble, so he didn't urge him to leave overnight. However, he only gave him one night. He would have to leave at dawn tomorrow. Songzhou City.

After temporarily sending Li Wanchao away, Zhu Xiu summoned everyone, sat around Wu Youdi's bed, and gave instructions one by one.

"Pan Mei has a formal official status at least. He has been with me in various yamen of the imperial court and looks familiar. Pan Mei will be responsible for sending you to Kaifeng." Zhu Xiudao.

Pan Mei curled her lips and muttered: "I am a soybean-sized junior high school captain from the eighth rank. Without you, the founding prince, at the front, who among the officials in Kaifeng City would pay attention to me?"

Hu Guangyue said with a smile: "No matter how big or small, at least he has a serious rank of eight hundred. When the Marquis comes back and walks around the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, it will not be difficult to get a military position."

"Come on, the Privy Councilor is Wang Jun's best singer. As long as he is around, our military generals like Lord Zhu will never be able to stand up." Pan Mei cursed angrily.

Zhu Xiu patted him on the shoulder: "Wang Jun's hands can't cover the sky, don't be discouraged, your affairs will be arranged after I come back."

Pan Mei murmured and nodded. From the current point of view, that was all she could do.

Pan Mei had previously served as a military envoy to the capital in the Zhangyi Army, but this position was awarded by Zhu Xiu and Shi Kuangwei, and there was no formal resignation document issued by the court.

So in the resume archived by the court, Pan Mei is still a blank sheet of paper.

After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Pan Mei, as a hero who followed Zhu Xiu and participated in the Yedu uprising, was also awarded a casual official rank from the eighth rank. This is his official rank, and future promotions and transfers will be based on this. as basis.

In the Huai Army in Suzhou Town, Pan Mei was engaged in the post of Marquis of the Infantry Army, but the official letter of appointment issued by the Privy Council had not been issued. After asking someone to inquire, he found out that the Ministry of War had already sent the document to the Privy Council, and was waiting for signature and seal to be issued officially. It took effect, but there has been no movement from the Privy Council.

You don't need to guess to know that Wang Jun's guy must be behind this.

Sure enough, after Zhu Xiu and Li Chongjin reported the officers selected by Zhu Xiu and Li Chongjin to the Ministry of War and then to the Privy Council, most of them were rejected by the Privy Council on various grounds.

In the end, Wei Renpu and Feng Dao were asked to help, and they came forward to deal with Wang Jun, and the framework for suppressing the Huai army was basically completed.

Pan Mei's letter of appointment had not yet been issued, but Zhu Xiu was transferred back to Kaifeng as the co-president of Xuanhui North Academy.

Once Zhu Xiu leaves, Pan Mei will certainly not stay in Suzhou.

It's just that his resume has always stayed at a humble official from the eighth grade.

Originally, Zhu Xiu promised him that when he returned to Kaifeng, he would help him with activities, such as the bodyguard department or the palace army. Anyway, he would not do it even if he wanted this guy to do civilian work.

From the time they met in Cangzhou until now, Pan Mei is the person who has followed him the longest and has the deepest friendship.

Now that the Great Zhou established the country, he himself has become the founding prince, and he can be regarded as a moderately powerful person in the new dynasty, but Pan Mei is still a small official with a dismissal, Zhu Xiu feels very sorry.

Seeing Zhu Xiu's guilt-filled eyes, Pan Mei snorted in disgust, as if to say: You boy, stop doing this, and get me something real as soon as possible.

"Ahem~" Zhu Xiu coughed dryly, "Feng Dao and Yuan Jingrun are good friends, and Feng Dao's granddaughter is also Yuan Jingrun's registered apprentice. After you rush back to Kaifeng, take my letter to Feng Dao and ask him to help make arrangements. Yuan Jingrun treated his mother."

Zhu Xiu handed Pan Mei a handwritten letter she had just written, and Pan Mei kept it close to her body.

"I previously arranged for Ma Qing to buy a house in Tianshui Lane. When you go to Kaifeng, you can settle there.

If something happens, Lao Pan can ask Wei Renpu and Feng Dao for help. Zhao Kuangyin, Fan Zhi, Cao Bin, the Fu family, etc. can also ask for help if necessary. "

Zhu Xiu asked.

"I heard from Li Wanchao that Lao Shi is going back to Beijing soon. When the time comes, Pan Mei, please remember to welcome him on my behalf.

The eldest brother is at home taking care of his mother and two children with peace of mind. He will wait until I come back from Chanzhou to discuss the family affairs. "

Everyone nodded, Zhu Wu scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "When I think about having to make a living in Kaifeng City from now on, I feel a little nervous.

It's really strange. I don't feel this way in Jiangning. "

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yang Qiaolian took a picture of her man: "Our Zhu family has a brother-in-law who is also an official. It is different from the past. We need to learn the etiquette and rules of those wealthy families. From now on, all the people we associate with are officials, but You can’t embarrass your uncle.”

"Hehe~ I'm just afraid that I won't be polite and will lose face to my brother. I'm a rough guy and don't have any skills. After thinking about it, it's best to join the army as a soldier." Zhu Wu smiled sheepishly.

Zhu Xiudao: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not busy with this matter. I will make arrangements for you when I come back from Chanzhou. In your spare time, you can ask Lao Pan for more advice on martial arts and military affairs, and learn more about it.

I still have some property in Kaifeng. If I can't stay idle, I might as well go and help. "

"Hey! Brother Xiu, don't worry, I will definitely study hard!" Zhu Wu patted his chest and nodded vigorously.Yang Qiaolian covered her mouth and giggled. With Zhu Xiu looking after her, her man was finally growing up.

Zhou Xian sat silently aside, as quiet as if he didn't exist.

Zhu Xiu leaned over and whispered a few words in Wu Youdi's ear, asking everyone to rest early and set off on their own journeys early tomorrow morning.

Before going back to the room, Zhu Xiu glanced at the next door and saw a dimly lit candle in the room. Then he looked at the corridors to the left and right. It was quiet and no one was there. He walked forward and gently opened the door.

The door latch was not inserted, the door was gently pushed open, and Zhu Xiu stepped in.

There was a candlelight behind the screen, and Zhu Xiu tiptoed forward. He saw a girl with long hair sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze.

Like a waterfall of green silk hanging down from her waist, the bronze mirror vaguely reflected her slender, frowning face, which made people pitiful.

"Why is Emperor E so confused?"

Zhu Xiu was behind her, speaking in a low voice.

Zhou Xian stopped combing his hair with the comb, and after a while, he sighed softly.

Zhu Xiu blinked, as if the young lady knew he was coming.

"When can you return to Kaifeng?" After a moment of silence, Zhou Xian looked up at him.

On the white cheeks that were facing the sky, a pair of autumn-almond eyes revealed a bit of resentment, fear, and worry.
Zhu Xiu said with a smile: "Emperor E has not been able to leave her husband for a moment before we have even passed the wedding?"

Zhou Xian's face was red, he bit his lip lightly, and stared at him with shame and annoyance.

"Ahem~" When Zhu Xiu saw her like this, she felt as if a cat was scratching her.

"To be honest, I don't know." Zhu Xiu spread his hands and said, "It's a bit troublesome to go to Chanzhou. It involves a struggle among the upper levels of the Zhou Dynasty. When will the trouble be resolved and when will we be able to come back."

Zhou Xian worriedly said: "Is his life in danger?"

Zhu Xiu scratched his forehead and said hesitantly: "Probably. No."

Zhou Xian stopped talking, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes gradually accumulated mist and turned slightly red.

Zhu Xiu quickly stretched his claws across her smooth and cold face, and said hey: "Ehuang, there is no need to worry about your husband, you can just take care of yourself in Kaifeng."

Zhou Xian turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, his thin shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Zhu Xiu chuckled and said, "I'm a lucky person and I can't die easily. Even if you want to be a widow, you can't."

Zhou Xian's red eyes glared at him with shame and anger, sniffed, and whispered quietly: "Before leaving Jiang Ning, you promised daddy, do you still remember?"

"Like copper poured from cast iron, keep it in mind!" Zhu Xiu smiled slightly.

Zhou Xianfen blushed, wrung his fingers, lowered his head and said, "Just remember, take care of yourself and come back early."

Zhu Xiu looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and her heart suddenly burst with tenderness. She took a step forward and hugged her tightly.

The soft black hair clung to her cheeks, and the faint alluring fragrance made her heart burn.

Zhou Xian struggled in a panic, his pretty face turned red: "Let me go!"

Zhu Xiu greedily sucked the breath from the beauty's neck and murmured: "Good Emperor E, sooner or later it's my Zhu family. We're leaving tonight, why not"

Zhou Xian was so embarrassed that he pushed him away with all his strength, and let out a scream of embarrassment, which was loud enough to penetrate the entire restaurant.

Zhu Xiu grabbed the door and fled in panic, then ran back to the next door house.

Zhou Xian quickly bolted the door, his heart beating hard, his breathing a little short, and his disheveled hair a little messy.

"What a disgusting villain." Thinking of the warm embrace just now, Zhou Xian spat in a low voice in embarrassment.
