My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 53 Zhu Jianshen’s private message
Although Zhu Fugui and Li Tianxin are falsely titled princes, they cannot be said to be completely useless.

As for the false title, it was also a prince personally conferred by Emperor Zheng'er. There was no difference in rank from other princes, but status and rank were two different things.

A general with no real power still has little standing in front of a Qianhu with a thousand soldiers and horses under his command.

If someone is willing to give you face, you are the general. If they don't give you face, they don't have to offend you, but you can't do anything with them.

The main purpose of Zhu Jianshen's designation of princes for Zhu Fugui and Li Tianxin was also to facilitate their actions, occupy the commanding heights in royal law, and not be restricted by local officials.

As for whether they have the prince's card, they can only look at themselves.

For example, Zhu Fugui is at the same level as King Yun Zhu Rui, whose fiefdom is in Yunzhou, but King Yun has real power, so he can completely ignore Zhu Fugui.

But if Zhu Fugui sent Li Tianxin to mess with him, such as shaving his eyebrows and beard at night while he was sleeping, then King Yun would naturally be afraid of Zhu Fugui.

As a prince, King Yun could not use the power of the court to suppress him. In this way, Zhu Fugui would gain face and speak more easily.

So in the final analysis, all titles and titles are illusory, only strength is the last word.

The powerful princes have their strength directly given by the court. The idle princes do not have this convenience, but the strength they have accumulated is still strength.

An idle prince was not allowed to have personal soldiers, but it did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty to have a few martial arts masters as his retainers.

Of course, a few martial arts masters can't defeat the army, but they don't need to confront the army head-on, they just need to kill the opponent's leader.

Of course, Zhu Fugui was the richest man in the Ming Dynasty after all, and he had the support of Renyi Villa and the entire Jianghu Baidao.

Moreover, he has always been generous, like Meng Chang, and many people in the black and white martial arts have received his favor.

Zhu Fugui asked them all to do good deeds, but they might not listen, but if he asked them to help kill people, I believe few would refuse.

Therefore, although Zhu Fugui did not have an army under his command, except for martial arts overlords like Happy King, no one dared to really underestimate him, let alone have any bad intentions towards him.

Something really happened to the living God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty. The person who did it will be unable to move unless he lives in seclusion in the mountains.

No one can withstand the constant stream of assassinations.

……

After announcing the decree, Zhu Fugui asked Zhu Zhong to arrange a banquet and at the same time arrange a residence for Wang Zhi's entourage.

It took some time to prepare the banquet in the kitchen, so Li Tianxin took Wang Zhi into the back house and walked to his yard.

On the way, Wang Zhi took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to Li Tianxin and said, "Brother Tianxin, in addition to the imperial edict, the emperor also has a private letter for you. Please read it."

Li Tianxin smiled helplessly: "I knew it would not be that simple to grant me a title of marquis for no reason."

Wang Zhi chuckled and said, "The Emperor trusts you. In your words, among the people outside the imperial court that the Emperor knows, you are the most reliable. Naturally, he can only come to you when he has something to do."

Li Tianxin laughed and shook his head, opened the envelope casually, took out the letter and read it, his face immediately sank.

It turns out that during these days, Maolihai, the chief of the Mongolian Wengniute tribe, led his army to invade Guyuan Prefecture and Ningxia and other areas, killed Jiao Zheng, the commander of Ningxia, and occupied large areas of Ming Dynasty land.

This Maoli boy is the younger brother of Genghis Khan and the 16th grandson of Beligutai.

Because of supporting the Mongolian headquarters, the youngest son of Totuo Buhuahan, who was born in the Golden Family, Ma Keguljisi became the Khan and was named the Grand Master. He held the emperor hostage on the grassland and ordered the princes.

This time he invaded the Ming Dynasty. He gathered [-] horsemen and came with such force that the court had to mobilize a large army to attack him.

Some areas of the Ming Dynasty were so depleted of military power that thieves and bandits were rampant in northern and southern Beijing, Sichuan, Huguang, Jingxiang, Jiangnan and other places.

Zhu Jianshen was afraid that one move would affect his whole body, and he did not want to mobilize troops from other areas to suppress it.

Therefore, he hoped that Li Tianxin could provide some help and support to the imperial court from the people, call on Jianghu Baidao to clean up the bandits, restore order among the people, and restore a bright future to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Li Tianxin's solemn expression, Wang Zhi couldn't help but frown and asked with concern: "What? Is the matter this time very difficult?"

Li Tianxin shook his head and said: "What I need to do is not difficult, but... well, you can see for yourself."

He handed the letter to Wang Zhi. After Wang Zhi read it, he was convinced.As someone close to Zhu Jianshen, he had already known about the Maoli boy's invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he also understood why Li Tianxin was worried.

Wang Zhi sighed: "It's a pity that I have not yet mastered martial arts and have just begun to learn military strategies. Otherwise, I really wish I could hold a three-foot long sword and kill all these Tartars for the emperor."

Li Tianxin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you have the chance, I will give you ten years to accumulate experience. Your achievements will not be inferior to 'Zheng Sanbao'."

"When the time comes, I will fight side by side with you, sweep across Liuhe on behalf of the Emperor, and wipe out all the barbarians."

"Wang Zhi is grateful to you. The love value is 95."

Li Tianxin's words made Wang Zhi's blood boil and he was deeply moved at the same time.

"Brother Tianxin, you are the only one who thinks so highly of me. I, Wang Zhi, will never let you down in my life."

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "These are serious words. I believe that in the future, you will be admired by countless people, and no one in the world will look down on you."

"Wang Zhi became more ambitious because of your words and gained 100 chivalry points."

After Li Tianxin finished speaking, he glanced at a rockery in front of him, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After the two of them walked away from the rockery, Panda'er said softly: "I didn't expect Tianxin to know such a unique eunuch."

"He doesn't have the feminine feeling of a eunuch at all. Instead, he is quite imposing. In the future, he will either be a great villain or a great sage."

Shen Lang nodded and said: "Tianxin's vision is naturally not wrong. Anyone who can be put in his eyes must be outstanding. With Tianxin guiding him, I believe this person will not become a treacherous person."

Bai Feifei pursed her lips and smiled: "Does that include you two?"

Panda'er's chest puffed up and he said proudly: "Of course."

Shen Lang smiled and said: "Let's go back to the courtyard first. I also want to make friends with this dear friend who was compared to the Three Treasures Eunuch by Tianxin."

……

When Li Tianxin brought Wang Zhi back to the courtyard, Shen Lang and the other two people were sitting on the corridor near the beauties chatting without any abnormality. When they saw the two coming, they all stood up to greet them.

Panda'er teased: "Tianxin, should we pay homage to you, the Marquis now?"

Li Tianxin punched him on the chest and said with a smile, "Stop talking nonsense to me. Come on, I'll introduce you to a good friend."

He walked to the side between the two parties, and Bai Feifei walked beside him very naturally.

"This is Brother Wang Zhiwang. He is also a man with a big heart and a big heart. Now he is running errands beside the emperor and is relied on by the emperor as a confidant."

"Brother Wang, these two are rookies in the martial arts world. Brother Shen Lang, Brother Chen, and Brother Panda'er Cat. They are both highly skilled in martial arts, chivalrous and courageous."

Wang Zhi cupped his fists and smiled and said: "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about those who associate with the Tianxin brothers. Wang Zhi has met these two brothers."

"I've met Brother Wang." Shen Lang and Panda'er clasped their fists in return. Shen Lang said, "Brother Wang's words are reasonable. Let's be mutually supportive."

"Hehehe..."

After the greetings, Wang Zhi looked at Bai Feifei and asked with a smile: "Who is this girl who looks like a fairy?"

Li Tianxin's smile became very gentle, making people understand everything at a glance.

"My fiancée Bai Feifei, we are going to get married in a while. Brother Wang will have to drink a few more drinks then."

Bai Feifei bowed slightly and said, "I've met Brother Wang."

Wang Zhi said happily: "Brothers and sisters, you don't have to be polite. It's better to come early than to come by chance. I didn't expect that on this errand, I can drink brother Tianxin's wedding wine. It couldn't be better."
