Chapter 251 Family Banquet, Hongmen Banquet

"The family dinner, the family dinner is a ghost!"

“The Hongmen Banquet is not bad!”

Zhu Houzhao casually threw aside the invitation sent by Zhu Biao, and Zhu Houzhao felt no emotion in his heart.

It’s almost the end of the year, and Lao Zhu invites everyone in Lao Zhu’s family to get together to promote their relationship!

If he believed this nonsense that was so obvious, he would be the biggest fool in the world.

He had not forgotten that he had just defrauded Lao Zhu of a large sum of money. Not long after the incident, Lao Zhu turned around and planned to hold a family dinner. If there was not something fishy in it, he would not believe it to death.

But no matter what tricks Lao Zhu wants to play, he is not afraid at all, he is just trying to show off his tricks!

Yongle Dynasty

"Family dinner?"

Zhu Di and Empress Xu looked at each other and saw a look of astonishment in each other's eyes.

The guests invited by Lao Zhu also arrived one after another. Since it was a family banquet, it was natural that there were only his own family members. The only two people who were not from Lao Zhu's family, Xu Datanghe, also had a close relationship with Lao Zhu's family.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao was so audacious that he had just cheated him of a large sum of money, and then poached his generals, completely ignoring him.

In the imperial garden of the Hongwu Dynasty, a group of palace maids and eunuchs were coming and going, decorating the banquet scene with lanterns and colors.

What he didn't expect even more was that Zhang Juzheng had already taken his whole family on board the Zhengde Dynasty mission ship, and even the resignation letter in his hand was presented by Zhang Juzheng's students on his behalf.

Hongzhi Dynasty: Zhu Youtang

Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

He calculated an account in private and found that the amount of silver flowing from his Yongle Dynasty to Zhengde Dynasty alone was nearly 50 million taels. Coupled with the wealth obtained from other dynasties, Zhu Houzhao not only made money this time, but also made money overnight.

Get rich suddenly.

Zhu Houzhao took Empress Dowager Zhang, Liu Jin, Wang Yangming, and the top ten sword guards to the Hongwu Dynasty for the meeting.

"Your Majesty, Master Liu Daxia is missing. Do you want to send people to search more quickly?"

The money spent will never come back, so it would be nice to see Zhu Houzhao make a fool of himself.

Zhu Houzhao!

Except for his good son who likes to make trouble constantly, there will be no one else. Only Zhu Houzhao hates Liu Daxia so much that he has long wanted to kill him.

Zhengde Dynasty: Zhu Houzhao, Empress Dowager Zhang

Zhu Di's tone was faint, with a little strange emotion.

Liu Daxia, as one of the Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi and a very important figure in the Hongzhi Dynasty, has disappeared inexplicably and must be treated with caution.

"This bastard has made a lot of money this time. With your father's temper, can he swallow this?"

Xuande Dynasty: Zhu Zhanji, Sun

Zhengtong Dynasty: Zhu Qizhen, Qian family

Jingtai Dynasty: Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianji

Zhu Di looked like he had seen through the truth of the matter. He was indeed the person most like Lao Zhu, and he could easily see through Lao Zhu's thoughts.

Jiajing Dynasty

"Let's just wait and watch the show!"

However, even if Lao Zhu didn't take action, he still planned to teach Zhu Houzhao a lesson. Emperor Yongle's money was not so easy to get.

Zhu Houcong was furious. How could someone as smart as him not understand why Qi Jiguang's family disappeared?

Emperor Hongzhi looked slightly tired and said.

“Too much is too little!”

After hearing the small report from his confidant, Zhu Houcong immediately frowned and asked, "Who did Qi Jiguang have contact with before he disappeared?"

Lu Bing immediately replied: "According to the report from the Jinyiwei spies, He Xiao, the envoy from the Zhengde Dynasty, visited Qi Jiguang."

Yongle Dynasty: Zhu Di, Empress Xu, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui

Hongxi Dynasty: Zhu Gaochi, Empress Zhang

"You're poaching me, cousin, your appetite is too big!"

It's okay not to mention Zhu Houzhao, but Empress Xu couldn't help but feel a little angry when she mentioned Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Di's face twitched and he was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

“If it doesn’t taste good, then don’t go there!”

"Obviously it was a banquet to promote the emotional connection between the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was for Zhu Houzhao."

With a hint of amusement in his eyes, Zhu Di was looking forward to the big gift package that Lao Zhu prepared for Zhu Houzhao.

"Look how our father dealt with Zhu Houzhao."

"Sometimes, ginger is still spicy."

When Lao Zhu holds a banquet, nine times out of ten he is unkind.

"Our father's banquet is not delicious!"

"I wonder who has been targeted by His Majesty Hongwu again?"

Zhu Di smiled strangely and said that he had almost guessed the purpose of Lao Zhu's family banquet.

Day after day, the years go by with the wind!

Before you know it, the new year has come, the sound of firecrackers sounds, the new year has arrived, and a new round of calculations for confrontation has begun!

Glancing at the golden-red invitation that was covered up by many memorials, with only a few corners exposed, Zhu Youhan let out a long sigh.

The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mou Bin, reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Is Zhang Juzheng going to retire and return to his hometown?"

If you give him so much money, he will be able to wake up from his dreams with a smile. Zheng He will go to sea and expand the three major camps, and it will not be a problem.

Doesn't Zhang Juzheng not know that if he leaves the court and loses the power of the chief minister of the cabinet, he will only die faster?

Zhu Yijun was puzzled. In his impression, Zhang Juzheng had never been a fool. His deep character could only be described as "old and cunning", but this time he did something extremely stupid.

"Who else, besides Zhu Houzhao, could be targeted by our father at this time!"

Hot!

"No need, you may not be able to find it even if you look for it!"

Lao Zhu is treating me to a guest, I’m not so kind!

This is almost universally known.

"Zhu Houzhao really went too far this time!"

Holding the resignation letter handed over by Zhang Juzheng in his hand, Zhu Yijun was immediately stunned!

He didn't even intend to settle old scores with Zhang Juzheng, so he decided to reuse Zhang Juzheng. As a result, the old guy ran away, saying that he was too old and incompetent?

"If the tiger doesn't show its power, the little tiger will think that he can become the king and dominate."

Hongzhi Dynasty

Zhu Youtang did not doubt that his son's methods could overthrow many interest groups in the world and centralize his imperial power to an unprecedented level. A mere Liu Daxia was far from Zhu Houzhao's opponent.

Selling low-cost items to them at exorbitant prices to earn a huge price difference is so unkind!

"I get angry when I mention this little brat. He even cheated my own family's money. It's so evil!"

The envoy from the Zhengde Dynasty came to Hongzhi Dynasty, and it was not impossible that Zhu Houzhao's secret hand was hidden among them. It is not impossible that Liu Daxia was secretly killed, and he was even secretly brought back to the Zhengde Dynasty.

Chenghua Dynasty: Zhu Jianshen, Wan Guifei

"Dad, you are holding back your misfortune!"

Hongwu Dynasty: Lao Zhu, Queen Ma, Xiao Zhu, Xu Da, Tang He, Zhu Fan, Zhu Xi.

Xiaokang Dynasty: Zhu Biao, Chang Shi, Zhu Yunxi

He knew the reason why Liu Daxia disappeared for no reason.

"Your Majesty, Qi Jiguang's family has disappeared and is nowhere to be found!"

Queen Xu's expression was also extremely strange. She was also a "victim" of Lao Zhu's banquet. When she met Lao Zhu again at a banquet, she felt a little stirred in her heart.

Jiajing Dynasty: Zhu Houcong

"Do you think this is just eating?"

Prince Consort Ouyang Lun participated in smuggling and fell into the hands of Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu invited the Huaixi nobles to have a meal. Then Ouyang Lun died and became Lao Zhu's tool to intimidate the Huaixi nobles!

Lao Zhu treated Xu Da to a roast goose meal, and the daughters of the Xu family became Princess Yan, now Queen Xu.

Longqing Dynasty: Zhu Zaijing

Wanli Dynasty: Zhu Yijun, Empress Dowager Li

Taichang Dynasty: Zhu Changluo

Tianqi Dynasty: Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Yan

Chongzhen Dynasty: Zhu Youjian, Queen Zhou, Zhu Cixiang
