After Zhu Houjin returned to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Huang Jin and Fang Qi went forward to welcome him.
"Hmph, an emperor can't even recognize his own parents. What kind of logic is this!”
"Your Majesty, you must not tolerate Yang Tinghe. Since we have already defeated Jiang Bin, why don't we take this opportunity to bring Yang Tinghe down as well? Then, the court will be your world!”
Fang Qi saw that Zhu Houyou was angry and chased after him to persuade him. Zhu Houjin couldn't help but laugh after hearing Fang Qi's words.
"Fang Qi, are you hoping that I will fight with Yang Tinghe so that I can avenge you?”
"Ah?" Fang Qi heard Zhu Houjin's words and giggled.""It's right for me to take revenge, but Yang Tinghe is domineering. The emperor should also get rid of him!”
"Hehe, now is not the time!”
Although Zhu Houzhen was young, he had become a veteran of the palace struggle through his struggle with Jiang Bin.
"Right now, this one still does not have control over the Imperial Army in the capital, and most of the officials in court are still on Yang Tinghe's side. Whether it is in the army or in court, this one's power is inferior to Yang Tinghe's!”
"Therefore, we are not in a hurry to defeat Yang Tinghe. Let's take it slow!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fang Qi's face turned red when she heard Zhu Houjin's words. For some reason, Fang Qi always felt that Zhu Houjiu's calm commanding and insight into the overall situation fascinated her.
Every time Zhu Houzhen showed this kind of expression, Fang Qi would always feel her face blush and her heart beat faster. It took her a lot of effort to calm down.
"Huang Jin, pass on my orders. Let Fang Xianfu, Huang Zongming, and Huo Tao enter the palace!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Houjiu understood that although he had already established a firm foothold in the palace, it was still not the time to fight Yang Tinghe, because his influence in the palace was not very great.
Although Zhu Houyou didn't have much power, Fang Xianfu and the others did. In the process of defeating Jiang Bin, Zhu Houyou had already sensed that there was a huge force hidden behind Fang Xianfu and the others. If he could obtain the help of this force, Zhu Houyou believed that he would have the strength to fight against Yang Tinghe.
Zhu Houyou remembered that Fang Xianfu had said that as long as Zhu Houyou defeated Jiang Bin, the power behind Fang Xianfu and the other two would come out to meet Zhu Houyou.
And now, it was time for Zhu Houjiu to properly confront this force.
"Your Majesty!"
After Fang Xianfu and the other two entered the palace, they bowed respectfully to Zhu Houyi.
"My three beloved ministers, please forgive me!"
"Yes, sir! I wonder why the emperor called us here this time?”
"Hehe, how could the three beloved ministers forget? Two days ago, didn't you say that after I killed Jiang Bin, I would invite the person behind the scenes to see me? How could you all forget!"
"Ah, so it's about this!"
Fang Xianfu and the other two heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! We've already told master about this. Master is willing to see the emperor. Emperor, please leave the palace tomorrow morning. When the emperor arrives at the bridge, this lowly official will bring the emperor to see our master!”
"Heh, your master is quite arrogant. He actually wants me, an emperor, to meet him personally?”
"Don't worry, emperor. After the emperor goes this time, there will definitely be great gains!”
"Hehe, alright, this one will believe you this time!”
Although Zhu Houyou didn't know who the faction behind Fang Xianfu and the others was, after interacting with them for a while, Zhu Houyou could already feel that the person behind these three people was intelligent and wise, and his strategies were definitely not inferior to his and Yang Tinghe's.
Moreover, this person was also very powerful in the palace. If he could borrow this person's strength to defeat Yang Tinghe, then Zhu Houjin would not mind meeting him personally.
"Alright, Fang Xianfu, go back and tell your master that I will personally meet him tomorrow!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Houjin was not afraid of the person behind Fang Xianfu and the others, because he knew that person had no ill intentions towards him. If that person wanted to kill him, he would have helped Jiang Bin to kill him.
In addition, Zhu Houjin was very skilled and had the help of the system. Even if he really encountered danger, Zhu Houjin would have a way to overcome it. Therefore, this time, Zhu Houjin was very confident in meeting the person behind the scenes.
……
The next day, Zhu Houjiu brought Lu Bing out of the palace and went to the bridge at the time he had agreed with Fang Xianfu.
Ever since Zhu Houjiu defeated Jiang Bin, the Embroidered Uniform Guards had all been under Lu Bing's command.
Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards had become like a piece of scrap metal under Jiang Bin's influence, Lu Bing relied on his super strong ability to grind this piece of scrap metal into a shiny sharp knife in a short time.
After Zhu Hou Xin learned about Lu Bing's work, he was very satisfied with Lu Bing's approach. It seemed that Lu Bing was worthy of the title of the number one Brocade Guard of Ming Dynasty. He was not wrong about him.
Lu Bing's Embroidered Uniform Guards was also the reason why Zhu Houyou could stand up to Yang Tinghe in the palace. The Brocade Guard had the loyal Commander Lu Bing, so Zhu Houyi was very assured.
When Zhu Houjin brought Lu Bing to the bridge, Fang Xianfu hadn't arrived yet, so they were wandering around the bridge.
As the two of them wandered around for a while, they heard some interesting things. According to the people near the bridge, the first sage of Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming, who was as famous as Confucius and Mencius, was about to give a lecture today.
"Wang Yangming? Hehe, interesting!"
After Zhu Houzhen heard the people on the bridge talking, he went over to stop them and ask.
"Gentlemen, you said that Mr. Yang Ming is going to open an altar in the city today to accept disciples?”
"Yes, yes. When Mr. Yang Ming accepts disciples, he never looks at status or status! Little brother, if you are interested, you can go over and take a look!”
"Hehe, okay, I got it. Thank you!”
Zhu Houzhen was surprised to hear that Wang Yangming was in the city.
One had to know that Wang Yangming was a very heaven-defying existence. Although Wang Yangming was portrayed as a rigid Confucian master in the textbooks of Zhu Houyi's era, he was definitely a living, heaven-defying person, enough to make everyone gasp in amazement.
Wang Yangming was not as old-fashioned as the textbooks of Zhu Houzhi's era described him to be. In fact, Wang Yangming was an all-rounder in both literature and martial arts. He was proficient in the art of war, philosophy, being an official, poetry, and martial arts.
Wang Yangming didn't have a teacher to learn the art of war, but this person was self-taught. When he was a local official, he sent troops to pacify many mountain bandits that gave the court a headache.
