Bright Spring

Wang Zhenliang said: "Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, "The things I put in your place..."

Wang Zhenliang showed understanding, and said calmly, "It can also be sent across the river."

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists again and bowed to Wang's father and son, "Gaoxu will never forget the feelings of uncle and cousin today."

Wang Ning waved his hand and said, "They're all relatives, what are you talking about?"

"When we meet again in the future, let's set up wine and Xu Jiu again." Zhu Gaoxu said.

The prince was lying on the bed and couldn't speak well, and Zhu Gaoxu arranged everything in less than a stick of incense.Immediately, he found the carriage in the house, carried the son into the carriage, and went out immediately.

There was an order from the governor's mansion of the rear army, and Wang Ning, the son-in-law, passed the decree, but Jin Yiwei did not stop it.The crime of correcting imperial edicts is very serious, and the possibility of a royal family member falsely preaching imperial edicts is not high.

The carriage was walking on the main road in the capital, Zhu Gaoxu looked outside, his heart was hanging in the air, he always had an illusion: suddenly a group of horsemen would appear, and the streets would be frightened!

But none of that happened. Pedestrians walked their own way, vendors yelled and hawked...the bustling street was another kind of tranquility.

All the way without incident, the majestic city tower of Waijinchuan has already appeared in sight.As long as you leave this gate, you will truly leave the capital.The capital of the Ming Dynasty was the center of the country. From here, there were countless roads leading to countless places.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the tower, and saw that it seemed to be getting bigger and closer, although it was slow, but he could feel it carefully; it was like the sun in the west, moving slowly.

……

Xu Huizu had just finished talking with Qu Neng about the military affairs of the Sichuan frontier in the yamen of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and was about to beat the drums when he waited for the unitary hour.At this time, I heard the report from my subordinates that the princes of the King of Yan left the capital according to the order!

"By imperial edict? Who came up with the idea!" Xu Huizu was shocked.He knew that it was easy for His Majesty to listen to other people's suggestions, especially those that sounded reasonable.

The subordinate replied: "I don't know, I just heard what the Jin Yiwei brothers who withdrew said."

His hands unconsciously slapped the table, and after a while, he looked up and saw his subordinates still standing in the lobby, and asked again, "When did they leave?"

"Probably... almost an hour."

Xu Huizu raised his finger and pointed at him: "You immediately lead a team of troops to stop Gaoyang County King under my order!"

The subordinate asked: "The humble official is bold. I heard that the princes of the King of Yan are entrusted with the imperial edict. What is the reason for the humble official to stop it? The king of Gaoyang County has a violent reputation, what should he do if he refuses to obey?"

Xu Huizu said: "Just use your troops to take it down! Let the prince and the third prince go, and only take the King of Gaoyang County. If there is anything wrong, say it was my order!"

The subordinate had no choice but to kneel down on one knee and said, "I obey you!"

At this time Xu Huizu turned his head and looked at Qu Neng who was sitting next to him, "I still have to persuade the Holy Majesty about this matter, and the Holy Majesty may have just listened to it for a while... But the audience can only wait until tomorrow morning."

Chapter 10 Crimson Powder

The starlight dotted the dark night sky, and the cool sky was filled with the chirping of summer insects.

The torches illuminated the area, and the carriage and a few horses were parked on a dirt road with rice fields on both sides. When the wind blew, there was a sound of "rustling..." waves.

The eunuch Wang Gui was taking out beans from the carriage to feed the horses, Zhu Gaoxu and Gao Sui looked at the prince lying inside, and the young lady Du Qianrui was wiping the prince's face with a towel.

Looking at the fat big brother, Zhu Gaoxu felt numb and indifferent. The brotherhood in his memory was like a lengthy documentary, but he was like an audience, and he really couldn't empathize with it.

If all history is doomed, then the fat man in front of him is the heir of his father, Zhu Di; and he, Zhu Gaoxu, will receive a short notice from the fat man's son: You rebelled!They were then thrown into a copper vat and burned alive.

"The decoction in the jar, should I warm it up for the prince first?" Du Qianrui picked up an earthen jar sealed with an oilcloth.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in agreement, and when Du Qianrui turned around, he said, "The third younger brother is here to take care of the elder brother. I'll go over to help build the stove, and also look at some medicine."

Gao Sui said, "Okay."

The so-called building a stove is very simple, just get two stones and put them down, as long as there is a gap under the earthen pot to put dead branches and dry grass.Du Qianrui silently took a torch to light the fire, and the light of the fire quickly reflected on her face.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, he stared at the fire for a long time and thought, looking hesitant.He finally glanced back at the carriage, immediately reached into his arms and took out a paper bag, opened it, and there was red powder inside; then he poured the powder into the earthen pot, and threw the paper into the fire.

The few movements were very quick, but he didn't panic, and his hands were very steady.

Du Qianrui watched what he did, pursed his lips, and lowered his head to fill the fire with branches.The atmosphere was suddenly a little weird, as if nothing had happened just now.

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly, "Miss Du, do you know why I want to save you?"

Du Qianrui said: "Your servant is not very... sure."

Zhu Gaoxu said softly: "Because you need me." He paused, looked up at the sky and took a breath, then said, "It happens that I can help too."

Du Qianrui raised her head immediately, her eyes sparkled brightly, whether it was the moving light or the reflected firelight.

When Zhu Gaoxu said these words, it was not all rhetoric deliberately said for a certain purpose.At least it's not a lie, although Du Qianrui's understanding may be a bit off...

In his previous life, he didn't feel that he was useful or valuable. His girlfriend's father was short of money for surgery due to a heart attack. He wanted to help, but he couldn't help it. The only way he could think of was to get a small loan and then go to the gambling table Bundle!Of course, the result was whitewashing. It was at this time that he got involved in gambling, and it was extremely difficult to stop and go ashore from then on.

After my girlfriend found out, the look in her eyes was memorable, as if she was confused and surprised. That was because she never counted on him... When her father had to undergo surgery, there was still another way for girls, which was to find someone more capable. man.

So now, Zhu Gaoxu is showing his own value at the same time.Others can't understand, he feels good.

The dust and sweat on the rammed post road made Du Qianrui's face look a little dirty, but her voice became softer, "Why is the lord so nice to me?"

Zhu Gaoxu had a weird smile on his face: "Didn't I say that if I just sit back and watch, how can I listen to you play in the future?"

Du Qianrui squatted there with her legs together, her body looked limp. It was already late at night, but her eyes were not tired at all, and there was a little shyness in her very bright eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu then sighed softly: "I couldn't learn temperament when I was a child, but I was very interested. I think Ms. Du is really talented and has a good voice. It's a pity to waste it."

Du Qianrui listened quietly, without much reaction. Perhaps she felt that the children of the royal family had more important things to learn, so naturally they would not learn rhythm... But when Zhu Gaoxu said childhood, he was referring to the previous life, and it was indeed because there was no Conditions, being able to accept exam-oriented education has already benefited from social progress, how can I have the opportunity to learn any art?However, he has always been yearning and envious of those seemingly high-end things.

Du Qianrui said softly: "It's just a trick to please people."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head immediately: "Melodies and paintings are very valuable, and we are not barbarians."

Du Qianrui's face was flushed, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness... Ah! The soup is ready."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at the carriage again, and said in a low voice: "The thing just now is cinnabar, I heard that it is good for the son's illness, but cinnabar itself has certain toxicity, and the imperial doctor dare not use it. "

"Yes." Du Qianrui responded cautiously.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Just pretend you don't know, can you?"

Du Qianrui immediately nodded and said, "Your maidservant didn't see anything."

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu watched Du Qianrui feed the eldest son the medicine with his own eyes.Everyone also ate some dry food with cold water, and continued on the road overnight.Because the carriage was moving slowly, they did not dare to rest tonight.

By the next morning, Shizi's illness had miraculously healed, and he was yelling hungry!

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, only Du Qianrui occasionally peeked at Zhu Gaoxu with complicated eyes.
