"What are you afraid of? With my father-in-law here, I can sit back and relax and enjoy..."
Zhu Houzhao swallowed the rest of his words halfway through.
However, his eyes were looking around this leopard room that made him extremely interested, where he enjoyed unparalleled happiness.
"Your Majesty, I don't have much time left for this old slave. I still need some time to practice in seclusion and compete with God. I can't be by your side at all times. You still need to rely on the Emperor himself for many things!"
The former father-in-law took a deep breath, with a sense of helplessness in his eyes.
The emperor in front of him was too stubborn and went his own way, leaving the officials helpless.
However, he still treated the ministers very well, and could even be said to be polite. Even if someone rebuked the emperor in person, he would not be ostracized or punished for it.
"Father, what do you mean? Find an opportunity to kill Qin Yu?"
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
He originally had the ambition of being a military general, and he was also fascinated by the passion in the arena. He did not want to kill this legendary rookie in the arena.
"Can't kill, can't kill!"
The former father-in-law shook his head and walked around a few times.
Then he raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, now the political and economic forces in our Ming Dynasty are inextricably linked to the imperial court. If we rashly deal with such people who do not provoke the imperial power on the surface, it will first cause Mingjiao, Mingjiao, and Mingjiao to move. Hanamiya’s dissatisfaction.”
"More importantly, those Jianghu forces who support the imperial court will feel dissatisfied with the imperial court. The imperial court uses forces such as Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei to check and balance the forces of various groups. This has already caused dissatisfaction among many people, so we must not add fuel to the fire. !”
The former father-in-law also knew quite a bit about the emperor's checks and balances.
No matter which one is the civil servant group or the military general group, it will definitely threaten the imperial power, and for some kings, cultivating the eunuch group is also a last resort.
"It doesn't matter if you kill him, or if you don't kill him? What does your father-in-law think?"
Zhu Houzhao frowned.
"What does Your Majesty think of Dongchang?"
"Dongchang... Governor Cao is extremely loyal to me. One of the other two governors is dead and the other cannot come out of seclusion!"
Zhu Houzhao said after pondering for a moment.
It must be said that the governors of Dongchang were extremely loyal to the emperor, and they even made the little emperor very happy.
"But your majesty knows that Dongchang's power has penetrated into the imperial court, and part of the civil servant group has also defected to Dongchang. As for the general group, I heard that Zhu Wuwu of Hulong Villa secretly colluded with some generals!"
The former father-in-law said in a deep voice.
After he returned to the capital, he was surprised to find that the emperor seemed to be the only one in the capital who was kept in the dark. The power of Dongchang had far exceeded the expectations of his father-in-law.
Although he belonged to a family of officials, he would never accept a force that threatened the imperial power.
As for Zhu Wuwu... when he learned that Qin Yu had hijacked the Tianlao of Hulong Villa, he collected some information about Hulong Villa.
I never expected that this iron-courage god had so much hidden secrets.
"this……"
Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He couldn't digest the information that his father-in-law brought to him for a long time.
But the only thing that is certain is that the former father-in-law will definitely defend himself.
"Your Majesty, the first thing we need to do now is sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
"Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wuli hate Qin Yu deeply. After today's battle, they will definitely not let it go. Dongchang has been used to being domineering recently and cannot bear the cowardice. Protecting the Dragon Villa... I suspect that Zhu Wuli has a poem I’m thinking about Qin Yu’s martial arts skills and the Yihua Palace and Mingjiao behind him!”
The former father-in-law looked serious.
This kind of living fossil-like figure looks more transparent.
"We need to use Qin Yu's hand to weaken the power of Dongchang and Hulong Villa, and secretly collect more information about them. When the time is right, if Qin Yu is unwilling to serve the imperial court, then we will completely destroy him !”
As he spoke, a chilling air filled the air.
"Understood! Then just follow what the father-in-law said!"
Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment and nodded.
……
At the same time, the charcoal-fired copper pot in Wuhou Mansion was steaming hot, and mutton, fish, tofu and various vegetables were placed on the table.
The seemingly ordinary hot pot is deeply loved by Zhuge Zhengwo.
After Qin Yu traveled through time, he probably hadn't experienced this long-lost taste for a long time, so he started to feast on it.
"Young Master Qin is so handsome today! Didn't you see Cao Gou's stinky face, as if someone in the family died!"
Zhui Ming talks quickly and is in an unusually cheerful mood.
Due to the weakness shown by Wuhou Mansion, the Western Daming Captors were very aggrieved. This time Dongchang and Hulong Villa were in trouble, which was a very satisfying thing for them.
"Zhu Wuwu is not much better. Qin Shaoxia almost took off his pants today. The dignified and courageous Lord has lost his face!"
"But, Qin Shaoxia, how do you know so much about him? Especially Miss Su Xin, I have heard about some things that Su Xin and Zhu Yi ignored back then, but I didn't know that Su Xin would have a child with Gu Santong!"
Tie Shou was also in a good mood and poured Qin Yu a full bowl of wine as he spoke.
"Hearsay, just hearsay!"
Qin Yu took the wine bowl and smiled vaguely.
You can't say that you can predict the future.
Tie Shou and others would naturally not believe Qin Yu's hearsay, but Qin Yu clearly did not want to explain the reason. The two sides had different powers, so it was difficult to pursue further questions.
He smiled with Qin Yu.
"Young Master Qin, I toast you this bowl of wine!"
"Come on! Do it!"
Iron Hand raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The atmosphere in Wuhou Mansion was lively today, and the Western Daming Captor felt no restraint in front of Zhuge Zhengwo.
"Dry!"
Qin Yu didn't show any weakness and continued on.
"I'm not as degrading and polite as they are, but it doesn't spoil the atmosphere today. I just have a drink, not only for Qin Shaoxia's great victory today, but also for the sake of the friendship between Wuhou Mansion, Guijiao and Yihua Palace. !”
Zhuge Zheng and I saw that Qin Yu had just finished drinking, so he stood up and filled two small porcelain wine glasses with wine.
And personally handed it to Qin Yu.
The implication is very clear, this is to establish an alliance with Mingjiao and Yihua Palace.
The Western daimyo were all stunned, even though they admired Qin Yu's martial arts and Qin Yu's courage in dealing with Dongchang.
But after all, Wuhou Mansion is only loyal to the current emperor. Zhuge Zhengwo's initiative will definitely make Wuhou Mansion fall into the whirlpool of imperial struggle.
It's one thing to help Qin Yu and the forces behind him, but it's another thing to talk about friendship when it's clear that he's showing off as an alliance.
"In the future, I hope to be able to advance and retreat with Marquis Wu!"
Qin Yu's attack was clean and neat, and he connected with Qin Yu completely.
In the capital, Qin Yu really needs Wuhou Mansion as an ally.
