Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu let out a breath, then turned and left the firewood room. He glanced at Wang Bin who was puzzled, and waved his hand without further ado, "Wang Qianhu, let's go."

Wang Bin held the army and said: "The last general will retire."

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the front of the room, and suddenly saw the woman standing there, he was not interested in paying attention, so he opened the door and went in.The woman quickly followed.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, her hair was messed up like a female ghost, and the clothes on her body covered her body, but they were torn to pieces.

"The actions of those rebels ruined your family in one day, I am very sorry." Zhu Gaoxu sighed, "But I mean what I say, the rebels who committed the crime are dead."

In the long and messy hair, a pair of puzzled eyes looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said in a trembling voice: "Our family was not killed by benefactor, benefactor saved the life of my family, why do you say that?"

"That's all." Zhu Gaoxu said a little tiredly, "Anyway, I'm not feeling well."

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the outside and said: "There is a bedroom next to it, you can find a change of clothes yourself. There is a well in the yard."

The woman nodded, shrank her neck and backed out.

Zhu Gaoxu slapped his thigh, and suddenly thought: There will be no rumors that I burned, raped, raped, plundered and plundered women?

……

A few days later, Master Wang continued northward with Sheng Sheng, heading for Peiping.But Zhu Gaoxu understands that everyone will not stay in Beiping for too long, and his father will soon return to the capital after picking up the people from Yan Wang's mansion.

With his father's decisive style, he can handle the affairs of Beiping well, and there is not much time left for Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu took the carriage driven by Chen Dachui, and went back to the Prince's Mansion first, and saw Du Qianrui came out with a face of surprise, Wang Gui and others also came to greet him.Du Qianrui's beautiful eyes looked at him eagerly, but he didn't care, and turned his head to wave to Wang Gui.

{}Wang Gui rushed over, and Zhu Gaoxu whispered, "Go and open the door of the back garden, let Chen Dachui drive the car into the garden."

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Gui said.

At this moment, a woman came down from the carriage outside the gatehouse. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at it. It was the woman brought back from Jinan City by "good people do it to the end". She had changed into a dress and she looked pretty Pretty, at least much better than those maids in the county palace.

Zhu Gaoxu waved to the woman, then turned and walked into an upside-down room in the courtyard.When the woman came in, Zhu Gaoxu warned: "Don't mention your tragic past in the future, so as not to spread rumors. Do you understand? Just say, I bought you from the Shandong Chief Political Commissioner."

The woman nodded timidly.

Zhu Gaoxu left immediately, went straight to the study in the inner hall, and sat down on a chair without thinking about changing out his dusty clothes.

After taking a breath, he stretched out his hands and rubbed|froiled on his chin.

Although Zhu Gaoxu had thought about the matter of Qu Neng and his son many times, he was still very nervous when it came to an end.

He privately rescued General Jianwen, who was capable of conquering battles, once the news leaked out, how would he explain it to his father?

But right now Zhu Gaoxu has nothing in his hands and dare not do anything, just waiting for the situation to develop step by step?Can Qu Neng, a brave and resourceful general who can break through the gate of Beiping with a thousand soldiers, just watch him die like that?

In a daze, Zhu Gaoxu remembered the situation when he was doing logistics work in a restaurant in his previous life and wanted to bet with the money!If you win, you can solve countless problems, but what if you lose?He didn't dare to think about it.

Now Zhu Gaoxu is also very unwilling to think about the consequences in case of being exposed.

Usually faced with this kind of decision moment, according to the experience of his previous life, his general choice is to do it!

At this moment, Wang Gui walked into the study room, came up to pay respects, and said, "Welcome the lord to return to the mansion. Report to the lord, there are two people in the car, and the servant took them to the utility room. They are still tied, and they look hungry. There's only one breath left."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, tapped his hand on the desk lightly with a boring voice, and made some trivial movements.It took him a while to raise his head and said: "Qu Neng's son, Qu Liangcai, let me go back then. Now that the father is in power, their family is in trouble. I can't just sit idly by..."

"Yes." Wang Gui stood there with his waist bent, without saying a word, his expression a bit dignified.

Zhu Gaoxu asked again, "I gave you some incense when I returned home last year, and I told you to keep it, are you still here?"

Wang Gui hurriedly said: "My lord personally | All slaves and maidservants take care of everything they confessed."

"Go prepare a carriage." Zhu Gaoxu said.

After Wang Gui answered, he went out.

Zhu Gaoxu sat alone on the chair and didn't move for a long time.

1Chapter 17 The auspicious hour has not yet arrived

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to take the risk to go to the capital last year. It was for others; the risk of doing it now is also great, but it is for his own way.

The place where Qu Neng and his son were placed under house arrest is a mansion.Today Zhu Gaoxu drove around the mansion and noticed the situation of the guards. There seemed to be fewer people at the gate than last year.Or the battle of Jingnan has ended, and Youji of Beiping has relaxed his guard even more.

Could it be that the world is the king, the Jianwen court has fallen, and these generals have nothing to worry about without an army.Just like Sheng Yong, who is now the commander-in-chief in Huai'an; after Ping'an was sent to Peiping, it is said that he can go out for activities recently.

But all this tolerance is obviously an illusion!

According to Zhu Gaoxu's understanding of Zhu Di over the past few years, Zhu Di's temporary tolerance for Jianwen and military generals is just to avoid making too many enemies at the same time, but to divide and rule; Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Bao Zhao, Lian Zining and other famous civil servants who have mastered the public opinion.

For those who have not yet fallen on their heads, it is just that the auspicious time has not yet come.

Zhu Gaoxu carefully watched the situation around the mansion from the gap in the car curtain, and left after only walking around to avoid being noticed.

The exhaustion from the journey did not affect Zhu Gaoxu's mind, he felt that his thinking was very clear.There are two main risks in this matter: the first is whether there will be mistakes in the process of doing it, and the second is that it is difficult to avoid contact with Qu Neng. Is Qu Neng really so reliable?

As a gambler who has quit gambling, but his gambling nature is hard to change, otherwise Zhu Gaoxu might feel that it is better to forget it because of fear at this time.

The carriage went out from the alley behind the mansion and turned a corner.At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu saw a closed door on the side of the road from the curtain of the car... The houses here are all similarly repaired, and what caught Zhu Gaoxu's attention was: the old couplet on that door.On the tattered and faded paper, none of the words on it can be read clearly. It will take at least two or three years, and at least a year, to become like that.

It’s only February now, the New Year’s Eve has just passed, and the latest war has not happened in Beiping, and almost all the couplets in other houses are still new.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the car curtain calmly, patted the board and said: "Go back to the house."

When he returned to the county prince's mansion, he only washed his face, not even the dirty dust on his body, and changed into clean clothes in a hurry.Wang Gui followed and helped.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, glanced at the door, and said softly: "In the future, I may be a prince, and even inherit the Ming Dynasty. In the future, you must be the most powerful eunuch around me, and you can also get a virtuous name, like Gao Lishi The same name goes down in history."

After hearing this, Wang Gui hurriedly said: "As long as the prince is good, the slaves will not be afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire! The eunuchs like slaves have no family and no heirs, they don't want anything, they just want to be loyal to the prince!"

He said no, but his eyes became very bright.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded his head, and said in his heart: Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. I will learn from my father anytime, and I will make a promise before I open my mouth, no matter whether I can do it or not.

"As long as this king is here, you will have someone to rely on." Zhu Gaoxu said seriously again.

Wang Guidao: "The slaves are the prince's people when they are born, and they are the prince's ghosts when they die!"

"I'll go to King Yan's mansion in a while, and you can make a full meal for those two people." Zhu Gaoxu said.After changing his clothes, he immediately went out with his entourage to Prince Yan's Mansion to say hello to Princess Xu.

In any case, the etiquette must be done to prevent others from thinking that he is a little bit strange.

When a group of people came to the main gate of King Yan's Mansion, they found that they were going to be searched when they entered the mansion.Seeing that it was Zhu Gaoxu, the soldiers and eunuch Zheng He at the gate felt a little embarrassed, Zheng He hesitated for a while, and said, "Please, King Gaoyang."

Zhu Gaoxu said very consciously: "Since the rules are set, don't break them easily."

"Thank you, King Gaoyang, for your inspection." Zheng He breathed a sigh of relief, and came up to put on a show.
