Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu asked calmly again: "Jing Yushi, you said that for the sake of reputation, it is worth it to let the family members suffer such disasters?"

Jing Qing pondered and said: "Tie Shangshu is loyal to Emperor Jianwen, maybe he doesn't want to lose it at the end of the year. What's more, he can leave his name in history..."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "Qingshi is just a cold paper, and the relatives around are the real people."

At this moment, Qiu Fu's voice said: "King Gaoyang is still here? Do you dare to go inside?"

{}Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, shook his head and said, "We just came out and passed by here."

Jing Qing cupped his hands and said: "King Gaoyang, General Qiu, please speak slowly, I will take my leave."

The two returned the salute and watched Jing Qing leave.Qiu Fu led the horse and walked on the street with Zhu Gaoxu. The guards of the army followed from a distance, but did not come up.

Qiu Fu turned his head and said in a low voice: "King Gaoyang likes beauty, but he really knows how to choose the time! At that time, he just entered Beijing, and it was during the national mourning period. What happened between King Gaoyang and that nun has been spread all over the city!"

"That little nun saved me, and we are in love with each other." Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.

"Fart!" Qiu Fu blurted out a curse, and looked back, "The Holy Majesty is enthroned, we are all waiting for King Gaoyang to be the crown prince, you have to restrain yourself."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, and thought to himself: No matter how good a general is at fighting, why does his brain seem to lack a string? Is it time for me to fight for the crown prince?What Qiu Fu meant was that he thought he was very smart, but he wanted to work as a counselor.

"General Qiu's kindness, I appreciate it." Zhu Gaoxu felt that with the help of a general like Qiu Fu, at least at this stage, it would be a waste of help.

The general of the imperial court is approaching a vassal. Can the emperor sleep well? Can he just sit back and watch?This is even more serious than the alliance between the court ministers and the prince!

Zhu Gaoxu stood in the same place and said seriously: "Eldest brother is the eldest son of the emperor. He is the crown prince, and our two younger brothers are princes. It happens to be safe and sound. Isn't it kind? If I become the prince, how will the eldest brother deal with himself?" ?”

"You..." Qiu Fu frowned, raised his hand and put it down heavily, and sighed forcefully, "Oh! When King Gaoyang and us are fighting with our heads up in front, what is your son doing?"

Zhu Gaoxu finally couldn't bear it anymore, stared into Qiu Fu's eyes and said, "Keep your head up, as long as you fall down, it's fine. General Qiu can take care of himself."

Qiu Fu looked displeased, turned around and left.Many soldiers behind him saw his expression and footsteps.It is hard not to keep the emperor's cronies in it.

Zhu Gaoxu knew Qiu Fu's kindness, and Qiu Fu was very disappointed.But Zhu Gaoxu still has self-knowledge, what he wants right now is nothing, only a few thousand soldiers and horses, plus Qiu Fu can turn the world upside down?

Yongle is not Jianwen, and Zhu Gaoxu does not have the strength of King Yan.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't think he was timid, so he went back to Peiping immediately, he had decided to save Qu Neng and his son!It is very dangerous to do this with his head in his head, but he still wants to take a gamble... Some people are so rare that they cannot be found, and once they miss ten years, they will not get it;

Zhu Gaoxu has thought about the current situation many times: Only keeping a low profile is the right way!Push the elder brother to the crown prince first, then the elder brother will be the one who is in the limelight, and let him be roasted on the fire; Zhu Gaoxu can accumulate strength and see the effect later.

And the crown prince is not the throne, it's not that secure...

What Zhu Gaoxu said to Qiu Fu was not all lies.At this time, the eldest son Gao Chi has no choice, but Zhu Gaoxu still has some room for detour; if he is aggressive, the conflict will definitely be intensified.

As he was walking, he turned around and walked towards the soldiers behind him.

Taking a step back for a while, the sea and the sky are bright, a very simple sentence is simply catchy.

1Chapter 16 Choices

The gray sky was drizzling continuously.The light between heaven and earth is gradually dimming, and the day is quietly ending.But the tragedy of this fortified city that was breached did not end.

Zhu Gaoxu stood at the gate of a mansion, looking into the depths of the long street.Occasionally, there was a woman's scream in the distance, which was extremely shrill in the drizzle.

At this moment, an old felt cart drove up to the door, Wang Bin came up, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the carriage is ready."

"Let's go." Zhu Gaoxu said.

After he finished speaking, he and Wang Bin got on the felt cart back and forth, stretched out his hand and patted the wooden board, and Chen Dachui in front raised his whip to drive the cart.

The carriage shuttled slowly between the streets and alleys.Zhu Gaoxu raised a corner of the car curtain with his hand, and looked at the scene outside through the hazy light in the rain curtain.After a while, he heard a "bang", Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly opened the curtain, followed the sound, and saw two armored soldiers rushing into a door in the alley next to him.

"Crack!" Zhu Gaoxu patted the wooden board, and there was a cry of "Woo" from the front, and the carriages and horses continued to move forward for a few steps and then stopped.

The two people in the carriage got off the carriage, Zhu Gaoxu said to Chen Dachui: "Wait."

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said, "Decree!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin walked quickly into the alley.They walked to the door that was knocked open, and followed them into the house.A woman's voice came from inside: "Master, please forgive me, please stop..."

Following the voice, Zhu Gaoxu walked into a door, and first found a male corpse lying in a pool of blood under the eaves.Wang Bin turned his head and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, then kicked over and kicked the door open with a "bang".

There was also a headless child inside, whose head went somewhere.A woman whose clothes were messed up and torn to pieces, was holding her hands on her chest, and was pressed on a wooden bed by a soldier, while another soldier was disarming in a hurry.

The two sergeants had already turned their heads and looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin.

Zhu Gaoxu was wearing armor, and the scabbard around his waist glowed with gold in the dim light.Seeing this, the two sergeants let go of the woman and stood there.

"Did the sage order you to burn, kill and loot the people?" Zhu Gaoxu asked coldly.

A sergeant said: "Many brothers are doing it, and we don't care about a hundred households."

Wang Bin said angrily, "Are you impatient?"

The two of them shut up immediately and stood there awkwardly.Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to take off their helmets and threw them away, the two were at a loss, a soldier hurriedly begged for mercy: "For the sake of our work for the Holy One, please forgive us once, we know our mistake .”

Zhu Gaoxu felt a little soft-hearted, and immediately took a deep breath and said, "The Son of Heaven pays you for you to kill the common people? Let's go!"

The two sergeants walked out of the room dejectedly. Zhu Gaoxu took out a handful of Ming Dynasty banknotes from his pocket, and glanced at the woman, "If you kill someone, they will be severely punished."

The woman curled up there tremblingly, looking at Zhu Gaoxu speechless.

Two soldiers walked in front, Zhu Gaoxu followed them out of the house, pointed to the alley and said, "Over there!"

The two walked to the street at a loss, and were driven to stand still in front of the carriage.Zhu Gaoxu walked in front of them, suddenly raised his fist, and hit a soldier on the chin with a "bang". He punched very fast, and the other soldier was also punched before he could react, and the two of them passed out immediately. .

{}Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin carried two soldiers one after another and threw them into the carriage.

At this moment, there was a "plop" sound from behind, and when Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, he saw the messy-dressed woman running out just now, kneeling in the wet ground and kowtowing continuously: "Please take me in! Your in-laws are back!" , Seeing that my son and grandson are all dead, I can't spare my family, you good man, do it to the end!"

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, he hadn't thought that the survivors were still guilty.Seeing the woman's forehead beeping "dong dong dong", he said, "Hurry up... get in the car!"

"Thank you for your kindness..." The woman staggered over.

The woman climbed into the carriage and stared at the two people piled inside with frightened eyes. She probably thought they were dead.

Zhu Gaoxu patted the wooden board with a "slap", and the sound of whips came from outside, and the carriage drove faster than before.

Back at the mansion where he was stationed, Chen Dachui asked the guards on duty to open the gate, and drove the carriage straight into the mansion.When Zhu Gaoxu and others got off the car, they were in front of a woodshed, and there was no one around.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the trembling woman down, saying, "You wait for me outside first."

The woman bowed her head obediently and walked away without making a sound.

Zhu Gaoxu then said to Chen Dachui: "Tie them up and gag them! Tomorrow morning, I will send you out of Jinan City, and you should drive back to Beiping first. Find a place to hide for a few days, and then I will take you into Beiping with the army." city, so as not to be checked by the guards.”

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said: "The last general will get the order!"
