Bright Spring

Mrs. Zhang smiled, but there seemed to be suspicion in her eyes. She said in a casual tone, "Which Taoist temple does my aunt live in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Miao Jin said without changing her face, "No name."

Concubine Xu said: "It's good to come back. Not long ago, Emperor Jianwen was deceived by treacherous officials, and he burned himself in Fengtian Hall in the imperial city and collapsed. The Ming Dynasty cannot live without a king, and the officials persuaded him to come in and support the prince to ascend the throne." She He looked at Miao Jin calmly and said, "Jing Yushi is fine, sister don't worry."

When Miao Jin heard this, her heart was fluctuating, and she became more and more worried.But she pretended to practice Taoism for several years, and her state of mind has experienced a lot, and she is still calm on the surface, "I am already a monk, and I can't care too much about worldly things."

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang said softly: "Second uncle is finally getting married. Dali Temple Minister Xue Yan is the matchmaker, and he is talking about Wu Dinghou's granddaughter. Father, mother and concubine are very satisfied. This happy event should be inseparable." Ten."

"King Gao Yang?" Miao Jin blurted out.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, her eyes with single eyelids were focused, and she stared at Miao Jin's face with a smile, which made Miao Jin feel a little uncomfortable.

When the marriage of King Gaoyang was mentioned suddenly, Miao Jin really lost his mind for a moment.In an instant, she felt a pain in her heart, and then she was sore and sad... But after thinking about it, King Gaoyang is almost 20 years old, and he is also a clan. He should have married a long time ago, so why should I be surprised? ?

Miao Jin murmured that this was a matter of course, so she remained calm, "Of course. The princess is finally relieved of one thing."

Concubine Xu was very happy, "The daughter of the Guo family is Guo Wei. Her mother is from the Xu family. She wrote a good hand and sent me a letter. From the letter, the Guo family is worthy of being the home of the Marquis." I know etiquette very well." The concubine turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Zhang, "After all, Mrs. Xu is my cousin, or an elder."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "The seniority is with the husband, it doesn't matter, it will be the in-laws from now on."

"That's right." Princess Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Princess Xu was happy, Miao Jin also smiled.She had a smile on her face, but she suppressed an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Chapter 145 The Prince's Position

Mrs. Zhang returned to Shizi Mansion, told Zhu Gaochi about Xu Miaojin, and kept hinting that Miaojin's whereabouts were unknown for half a year.But Zhu Gaochi was not very interested.

So Mrs. Zhang said again: "Tie Xuan, the chief envoy of Shandong Province, has not surrendered yet. Doesn't the official document from the capital say that the father is going to lead the army to attack? When the father returns to Beiping by the way, the son of the world can follow the father to the capital." .”

Zhu Gaochi sat slumped on a couch, nodded thoughtfully and did not speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang said kindly: "My lord, when you arrive in the capital, don't forget those old ministers who failed in the previous court."

Zhu Gaochi immediately said in a deep voice: "You think the father is too satisfied with me, and you don't think things are messy enough?"

Mrs. Zhang said softly: "The son of the world is the eldest son of the father and the emperor. If he doesn't become the prince, it will be chaotic."

Zhu Gaochi's face darkened immediately.While the whole city was celebrating, he felt like he was cornered!

Mrs. Zhang glanced at him, and said: "Although those people surrendered to the emperor, it is difficult for them to be reused...Don't worry about King Gaoyang's prestige in the army, the world is peaceful, and civil servants are useful."

Zhu Gaochi sneered and said: "Who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle? I have to be the prince first, so they can count on it!"

Mrs. Zhang was very relieved after hearing this, and persuaded her kindly: "It's good that my son has that kind of heart, you are always advancing and never retreating, so don't slack off!"

……

At the end of the first month, Zhu Di was well prepared, and he sent troops to Jinan City to conquer Tie Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Jianwen Dynasty and the governor of Shandong, who refused to surrender.

At that time, Master Yan attacked Jinan City several times, but could not enter.But now the situation is no longer the same, the world is at peace, Zhu Di suppressed the situation with the justifiable king's army, and Jinan City became an isolated city.It was meaningless for the defenders of Jinan City to resist, and their morale was gone.

So in early February, Wang Shi invaded Jinan City.Tie Xuan broke through and was intercepted by ambushes on the road.

There was a continuous drizzle in the sky, but the city was full of fire.The Jingnan Army suffered heavy casualties and exhausted troops under the city of Jinan several times. From Zhu Di to the lieutenant soldiers, everyone was indignant!So after entering the city, they retaliated|retaliated.

Zhu Gaoxu and the others stood in the courtyard of the chief envoy's yamen. The drizzle on his head gathered into drops of water on the iron helmet, and dripped on his face from time to time. He reached out to stroke the rain, thinking to himself: No wonder the southern Ming army The helmet has a wide brim, which is still useful in light rain like this.

Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty was also waiting at the entrance of the lobby.A pile of firewood was burning next to it, and a large pot was placed on top of it. The water in it had run out, and there was a continuous "gurgling" sound.

After a while, Tie Xuan was tied up. He straightened his neck, stretched his whole body, and stood there upright.Zhu Di said coldly, "You still don't bow down when you see me?"

"Rebellious officials and thieves! Oh!" Tie Xuan suddenly spat.The sergeant beside him kicked him on the leg a few times, but didn't let him kneel down.

Zhu Di was furious, and pointed at him, "You traitor! Traitor! Cut off his ears and nose and boil!"

The sergeant took out his dagger and rushed forward to saw his ears alive. The sergeant's hands were immediately covered in blood.Tie Xuan stared, gritted his teeth, but didn't hum.

When Zhu Gaoxu looked sideways, he saw that the corner of Yu Shi Jingqing's mouth was twitching, and his eyes were avoiding.

He walked towards the opposite side calmly, stood beside Jing Qing, and sighed: "Look at Jing Yushi, this is the end of ignorance of current affairs."

Jing Qing glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and nodded in agreement.

{}Tie Xuan was still scolding after his ears and nose were cut, the emperor was furious and ordered people to throw him into a cauldron of boiling water.There was a burst of screams, and the skin on Tie Xuan's body immediately wrinkled and changed color, and his appearance was terrifying...

After watching the execution, all civil and military officials retired one after another.Zhu Gaoxu followed Jing Qing out of the chief envoy's yamen, stepped forward to make friends, and said: "Realist Chi Yue and my mother and concubine are sisters, and now we brothers and sisters call her little aunt, so we are still relatives."

Jing Qing hurriedly said: "Don't dare to climb high, my daughter is already a monk, and she is not burdened by worldly etiquette."

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly again: "I heard from my mother and concubine that when Jing Yushi was serving as a councilor in Beiping, he became friends with the emperor father. Fortunately, Jing Yushi is already one of his own, otherwise, look at Tie Xuan, what a miserable end!"

Jing Qing just nodded.Zhu Gaoxu noticed that there were faint beads of sweat on his forehead, or it might be the drops of water dripping from the hat.

At this moment, he saw a woman in silk and satin screaming and being dragged into the hotel next to the yamen. Zhu Gaoxu stopped a sergeant and asked, "Is that Tie Xuan's family?"

The sergeant nodded and said: "It's Tie Xuan's wife. The saint ordered that the brothers enjoy it first, and then send her to the brothel on the [-]th floor to be a prostitute after the capital. It's a pity that she is a little old, in her thirties. Tie Mansion in the city There is also a daughter, who is only four years old, so she can only be sent to the Jiaofang Division to be raised before she can do cheap work."

A general next to him said, "Damn it, do you still think so?"

"You don't dare." The sergeant hurriedly clasped his fists, and then said with a laugh, "I heard that Tie Shangshu still has family members in the capital, and some young concubines. I wonder if we can take our turn."

The general stepped forward to flatter him and said, "King Gaoyang, please go first."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and thought: Could it be that I am such a person in the eyes of the soldiers?He suddenly remembered the matter of Yao Ji and Yao Ji in the capital, presumably it had already spread, no wonder it was so.

But people misunderstood him a bit.In his previous life, Zhu Gaoxu was not from a high family background and was not very particular, but he yearned for those elegant people very much, and he was unwilling to do such a thing to get rid of Bigger in his heart.

He waved his hand, then suddenly turned his head and said, "Is Jing Yushi interested? There are not many opportunities for doing bad things without punishment."

Jing Qing's eyes widened immediately, "This old man is such a person!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't make things difficult for him, he waved his hands and said to the soldiers: "Since it is an imperial edict, you go."

When the soldiers lined up outside the hotel, Zhu Gaoxu deliberately didn't leave, and stood there talking to Jing Qing.Jing Qing had no excuse to get away, so he could only talk to Zhu Gaoxu here.

The woman's lung-piercing cry came from the hotel room, it was worse than killing her.These women were born in a scholarly family, and they are all people who have been educated in ethics. How could they bear such humiliation?

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, looked at Jing Qing and said: "Tie Shangshu has fought against the father many times in Jinan City, even if he surrendered, it would be difficult to survive. But if he didn't insult|swear at the father, it must not be so miserable, most of the family members will not be implicated."

Jing Qing nodded thoughtfully.
