Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 206: Your Huo family ancestors are in the cemetery, burning the boiler
"What, my uncle?"

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, after celebrating the New Year in the palace, Zhu Zhanjun was preparing to go to the Shenwei Camp to make arrangements for the expedition.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I bumped into a yamen runner from Yingtian Prefecture.

The other party just happened to be looking for him.

"Yes, according to the inquiry of Lord Mansion, the other party seems to be your brother-in-law." The bailiff carefully confirmed again.

Zhu Zhanjun frowned slightly. Where did his brother-in-law come from?
Qiu Yuan can be considered half an official, but everyone in the entire Jinling officialdom knows him. Even if he has committed a crime, other government offices will first inform him if they want to take action against Qiu Yuan, except for the old man's order. It is impossible for him to be arrested directly.

Jinxiu is also a concubine, but she was sold to a flower shop since she was young and was trained as an oiran. Apart from the brothel owner, she has no relatives.

Not to mention the Quan family.

The other party is from Korea. If her brother comes here as a foreign envoy, it will be even less likely for Yingtian Prefecture to arrest him.

After comparing it, it seems that there really is no brother-in-law. Could he be an imposter?

"Your Highness, have you forgotten the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Ergou, who was standing next to him, saw that Zhu Zhanjun was confused, and realized that his prince had not remembered it, so he quickly added in a low voice.

Zhu Zhanjun slapped his forehead, and then he remembered that Huo Wenxiu had mentioned to him last year that her brother was coming over.

But he didn't say a specific time, and no one came until the Chinese New Year. In addition, there were many things to do during the Chinese New Year, so Zhu Zhanjun forgot about this matter.

"What's his name? What happened? How did he get arrested?"

Although it is possible that he is his brother-in-law, Zhu Zhanjun still wants to confirm it in case someone is impersonating him.

"It seems his surname is Huo and his name is Qubing. The reason is that he had a fight with Young Master Xu in the street."

"Huo Qubing, this name..."

Zhu Zhanjun twitched his lips and said to Ergou, "Let's go to the Yingtianfu government office first to see what's going on."

Zhu Zhanjun got on the carriage with a headache.

One is most likely his elder brother-in-law, and the other is his younger uncle. Both of them are uncles, and yet they were fighting in the street.

If those imperial censors knew about this, their fighting spirit would probably burn brightly.

They were having trouble finding an opportunity to impeach Zhu Zhanjun, so wasn't this matter just delivered from their hands?

"Hahaha, you should have said it earlier. We are all family. Why do we need to go to the government office?"

"Old Zhao, this is our family's business. We'll leave first."

"No, no, no, young master, I have already informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please wait a little longer."

"What, Old Zhao, this is meaningless. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so busy, does he need to be notified of such a small matter? You, this is the end of your life as a prefect."

Before Zhu Zhanjun walked in, he heard Xu Jingchang's loud voice.

But the voice was a little hesitant, as if speaking was a bit difficult.

Zhu Zhanjun walked in with a gloomy face, and saw a group of second-generation dignitaries, led by Xu Jingchang, walking out in a group.

These guys all had bruised faces and noses, and Xu Jingchang even had a panda eye.

Looking at the swollen cheek, Zhu Zhanjun finally understood why the other person's speech was a little unclear.

Zhu Zhanjun's arrival made the scene instantly quiet.

The second generation stood awkwardly on both sides, lowering their heads and not daring to say a word.

Xu Jingchang felt a little embarrassed and greeted him with a dry laugh: "Zhanjun, why are you here? Old Zhao is such a fool. He asked you to come over for such a small matter. We can handle it ourselves, hehe..."

Facing Zhu Zhanjun's direct gaze, Xu Jingchang started to laugh dryly as he spoke.

"Meet His Highness the Grand Sun."

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to greet him.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded, walked to the first seat and sat down, looking at Xu Jingchang and his gang, and asked the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture in a low voice: "What's going on?"

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture did not dare to hide anything and quickly reported: "Someone reported a case at the market today. A group of people were fighting in the street. I sent officials to deal with it and brought them all back."

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture glanced at the group of second-generations and indicated with his eyes that they were this group of people.

Zhu Zhanjun looked over and saw many second-generation people immediately lowering their heads guiltily.

"Where's my eldest brother-in-law?"

Zhu Zhanjun asked.

Xu Jingchang quickly pointed at a young man beside him whose clothes were just a little messy and whose face had few scars.

"That's him. This is your uncle."

Zhu Zhanjun looked up and his eyes lit up instantly.

He has sharp eyes, a handsome face, a tall figure, and an indescribable noble air.

When he saw the other person, Zhu Zhanjun immediately realized that this was the person he had been waiting for on New Year's Eve.

After confirming the identity, Zhu Zhanjun couldn't help but sigh in his heart that space was indeed omnipotent and had given the identity to his brother-in-law.

"Huo Qubing, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Noticing Zhu Zhanjun's gaze, the brother-in-law stepped forward and bowed.

Looking at his tall and straight figure and his vague aura, anyone with a keen eye could tell at a glance that he was a soldier.

"Hey, get up."

Zhu Zhanjun waved his hand to let him stand up, and then said helplessly: "When you get there, just go directly to the imperial farm, or come to the East Palace to find me. Why did you fight with them?"

Huo Qubing did not feel embarrassed or ashamed at all, and replied loudly: "They were riding their bikes in the street and almost injured a child. I intervened in time, but Young Master Xu fell to the ground and the bike was damaged. They asked me to pay for it."

"They were not in the right in the first place, and they were so arrogant. They started fighting after a few words." Zhu Zhanjun glared at Xu Jingchang, but when he saw the bruised faces of Xu Jingchang and his men, he smiled and said to Huo Qubing, "It seems that you won. You are quite capable. You defeated a large group of them by yourself."

Huo Qubing showed a trace of disdain on his face: "They are just a bunch of fancy moves, they just can't use weapons, otherwise even if I kill them all, they won't be able to hurt me at all."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're being a little arrogant. After all, we are relatives. Do you have to belittle me like this?"

Xu Jingchang was somewhat dissatisfied and yelled in annoyance.

Zhu Zhanjun stood up and walked to the desk, took out a warrant and threw it on the ground.

"Xu Jingchang and others drove their cars in the street without regard for the safety of others. After being stopped, they showed no remorse and engaged in a fight with others."

"As a royal relative and noble, you have no regard for the laws of the court. You should be punished even more severely."

Zhu Zhanjun then ordered the prefect, "Give each of them 40 strokes of the cane."

"what!"

"No!"

"We realized our mistake."

If you get beaten 40 times during Chinese New Year, you won’t have a smooth year ahead.

A group of second-generation people prayed loudly again and again.

Zhu Zhanjun ignored them and said directly to the prefect: "If you don't dare to fight, I will send them to the Jinyiwei and let the people in Jinyiwei fight them."

The group of people who were complaining about their grievances suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the three words "Jinyiwei". They rushed forward, carried the prefect and walked out.

"No need to go to Jinyiwei, this place is fine. Come here, someone, quickly spank us. Forty strokes of the cane are a must."

Standing at the door and watching the yamen runners start beating with sticks, Zhu Zhanjun took his elder brother-in-law Huo Qubing and left for the military camp.

The carriage swayed forward as the two men sat opposite each other.

Zhu Zhanjun looked at Huo Qubing opposite him, pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you replace my brother-in-law?"

He was very happy to get the legendary general, but if his brother-in-law was replaced because of it, Zhu Zhanjun would feel a little sorry for his young wife.

Huo Qubing shook his head: "There is no replacement. I am him. I just awakened the memory of my previous life."

Zhu Zhanjun couldn't help but admire in his heart.

My little wife's family is indeed destined to be wealthy.

Although Huo Wenxiu had not yet held a wedding with him, she had already been designated as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Zhu Zhanjun's character was such that as long as his wife didn't make a big mistake or interfere in government affairs without authorization, he would never think of replacing her.

Therefore, Huo Wenxiu will become the Crown Princess, the Queen, and the person that all women in the world yearn for the most in the future.

And my eldest brother-in-law is the reincarnation of that champion marquis.

My goodness, how much smoke must have been coming out of the ancestral tomb of my father-in-law for these two noble figures to descend.

"I remember when you came, there was a picture of cavalry in the back. There should be subordinates."

Huo Qubing took out a token from his arms and placed it on the table. Zhu Zhanjun picked it up and took a look at it.

There were big Chinese characters written on one side of the token, and the word "骠骑" on the other side.

"Eight hundred cavalrymen!"

Huo Qubing told the number of soldiers.

"Only eight hundred."

Zhu Zhanjun felt somewhat disappointed, as the army brought by the other party was the smallest among all the guards.

"They are all the people who followed me to the grassland. They are all experienced in combat. It would be no problem to select any of them to be the general of an army."

Perhaps not wanting his brothers to be looked down upon, Huo Qubing explained the bravery of these people.

Zhu Zhanjun then revealed a surprised smile.

It seems that everything is destined by God.

He was planning to follow his grandfather north this year, and the space sent over 800 Han cavalrymen who had traveled thousands of miles in the past, and also had the Marquis of Guanjun as the commander-in-chief.

Even God is on his side.

"I'll arrange for you to be assigned to the military first. Once you're settled, I'll bring Huo Wenxiu over to meet you."

When Huo Qubing heard Zhu Zhanjun mention his sister, a rare hint of tenderness appeared on his face.

"it is good."

The old man has already given the order to march north after the Lantern Festival and gather in Peking.

The Shenwei Camp began preparations last year, and now its equipment, food and gunpowder have been prepared.

According to Shen Shan's report, the entire army can set off at any time.

Huo Qubing was temporarily assigned a position as a cavalry captain by Zhu Zhanjun.

It’s not that Zhu Zhanjun doesn’t want to arrange a higher-ranking one, but the military is a place that values ​​strength and merit.

You are a newcomer, without any merit, yet you are promoted to a high position right away. Even if you are the eldest brother-in-law of the crown prince, those arrogant and powerful generals in the army will not take you seriously and will bully you whenever they want.

The position of a thousand-man commander is already considered a very high position.

If Huo Qubing wants to get a higher position, he needs to fight for it in the army.

Of course, if Huo Qubing had a separate legion, he would have led a separate legion like Hu Ruzhen, Wu Sangui, and Zeng Guofan.

No one would say anything no matter how Zhu Zhanjun arranged it, after all, he has the ability to do so.
