Zhu Houjiu and Lu Bing were sworn brothers when they were young. Although Zhu Houjiu had transmigrated, he still inherited some of Zhu Houjiu's memories and emotions.
Because Lu Bing's mother was Zhu Houjiu's wet nurse, Lu Bing could follow his mother in and out of Prince Xingxian's mansion when he was young. As a result, Zhu Houjiu and Lu Bing became sworn brothers.
"Alright, now that everyone has left, we can relax a little!”
Zhu Houzhen said as he sat down lazily on the table bed. He then called Lu Bing to sit down.
"Sit anywhere you want. Do you still need to be polite with me?”
"Uh…there's no need for that! Little Prince, you are already the Emperor now. If I continue to act like before, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the Emperor?”
"Alright, stop nagging. Are you going to sit or not? If you don't sit, get out!"
"Haha, good!"
Zhu Houjin and Lu Bing were very close, so they didn't have to worry about talking to each other.
After Lu Bing declined, he lay on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Lu Bing, after I heard your name in court today, I felt it was very strange. Why are you here for the martial arts examination?"
"Ai, emperor, isn't it because of my father?”
Lu Bing's face darkened again when he mentioned this.
"Emperor, I remember telling you that I would make the Chu father and son pay the price sooner or later.”
Zhu Houjin inherited his previous memories and understood what Lu Bing meant.
When Lu Bing was young, his father was killed by the king of Chu and his son because of a fight for land. King Chu used his power to bully others and hung Lu Bing's father's body on the city gate tower, not allowing the Lu family to collect the body.
In the end, it was King Xingxian who interceded and brought back Lu Bing's father's body.
Because of this incident, Lu Bing and his mother suffered a huge blow, so Lu Bing's mother didn't continue to take care of Zhu Houjin, but left Anlu with Lu Bing.
When Lu Bing left Prince Xingxian's mansion, he had sworn to both Prince Xingxian and Zhu Houyi that he would make King Chu pay the price.
Lu Bing would use the same methods to take revenge on the king of Chu for how he treated his father.
Lu Bing swore that he would do this in his life.
After hearing Lu Bing's words, Zhu Houyi understood. He secretly thought that Lu Bing had passed the martial arts examination precisely to obtain power in the court. This way, he could fulfill his promise back then and use his power to deal with the King of Chu and his son.
Zhu Hou Xin knew Lu Bing's temper and understood that since he had sworn to kill his enemy personally, he would not ask for help. Although Zhu Houjin was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Lu Bing would never let him help.
"Hey!"
Zhu Houjin stood up and patted Lu Bing's shoulder."Good brother, I believe you can do it. However, you have to think about yourself when you do this. Don't do anything stupid!”
"Alright, emperor, I know. Don't worry!”
Although Lu Bing promised Zhu Houjin, his eyes were unsettled. Zhu Houxin knew that Lu Bing was not listening to his words, and he could not help but sigh.
It seemed that Lu Bing would cause trouble sooner or later.
As Lu Bing's brother, Zhu Houjin couldn't ignore him.
"Alright! Stop talking about me!"
Lu Bing jumped down from the bed and walked a few rounds on the floor.
"Now let's talk about you! Little Prince…No, Your Majesty, let me, Lu Bing, help you get rid of Jiang Bin, Yang Tinghe, and the others so that you can sit on the throne!”
After Zhu Houjin heard Lu Bing's words, he shook his head with a smile and said,""It won't be a matter of a day to get rid of these old fellows. They are all veterans of the political struggle in the court. To get rid of them, we need a long-term plan.”
Lu Bing was slightly surprised by Zhu Houjiu's words. He looked deeply at Zhu Houjiu.
"Emperor, you've changed too much compared to before! You're becoming more and more like an emperor!”
"Is that so?"
"Yes, emperor, your current actions and boldness are not like a 15 year old youth at all, but more like a 50 year old old man!”
"Oh!"
……
Zhu Houzhen had no one to rely on in the palace and could only rely on himself to do everything. But now, with Lu Bing's help, the situation had improved a lot.
Lu Bing had outstanding abilities and was absolutely loyal to Zhu Houjin. With Lu Bing's help, Zhu Houjin was confident that he could get rid of Jiang Bin and Yang Tinghe in a short period of time.
Just as Zhu Houjiu and Lu Bing were talking in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, a few ministers came to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute and requested to meet Zhu Houjiu.
"Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Fang Xianfu, Assistant Minister of Rites Huo Tao, and Huang Zongming request an audience!”
"Hmm?"
"Alright, call them in!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Houzhen felt that it was very strange and could not guess what these three people were here for. Firstly, Zhu Houjin did not summon them. Secondly, Zhu Houjin did not do anything else today.
"Emperor, I heard that these three guys have always been acting strangely in court. You can't guess their intentions. Just wait until they come in and ask!”
"Yes!"
After Zhu Houjiu agreed, Lu Bing straightened his clothes and stood at the side, acting as Zhu Houjiu's guard.
"Your humble subject pays his respects to the Emperor!"
"Mm, no need for formalities!"
Zhu Houjin sized up Fang Xianfu and the other two, only to see that they all had calm expressions on their faces. He could not guess their intentions for a moment.
"May I know what instructions the three beloved ministers have for me?”
"Oh, Emperor!"
As Fang Xianfu spoke, he turned to look at the eunuch in the distance. Zhu Houyi naturally understood what Fang Xianfu meant, so he ordered the eunuch to leave.
After the eunuch left, Fang Xianfu sized up Lu Bing, who was standing beside Zhu Houjin. "Lu Bing is my confidant. If you have anything to say, just say it!"”
"Oh, so this person is Lu Bing?”
Fang Xianfu and the others were stunned when they heard Zhu Houjin's words. Then, they sized up Lu Bing again.
"Lu Bing is a peerless talent.”
Fang Xianfu and the other two looked Lu Bing up and down, then said in unison,"
Zhu Houjin and Lu Bing were baffled. They wondered what the three of them were here for. Why were they so interested in Lu Bing?
"Fang Xianfu, you just said that Lu Bing is a peerless talent. I ask you, who said that?”
"Emperor, this…this lowly official can't say it now!”
