Bright Spring

After a while, several servant girls came in with teapots and snacks.Then a middle-aged man came in, cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's elegant mood. Next is Xu Cailiu, the shopkeeper of Liyuan. I have met you."

The shopkeeper stood there, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay attention, he turned his head and asked the young lady: "Do you really want to see Li Louxian?"

The little lady looked at Zhu Gaoxu, but said nothing.

The shopkeeper Xu Cailiu said something but got no response, but he showed no embarrassment, stood there with a smile, pretending to be interested in listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words.

Zhu Gaoxu then turned to Xu Cailiu and said: "Trouble shopkeeper Xu, when Li Lou is free, please come here and have a few words with my little brother. Don't affect the singing, so many people are waiting. "

Xu Cailiu clasped his fists and said: "I obey. I won't disturb everyone's pleasure. If you have something to do, just tell the slaves here."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

When Xu Cailiu left, the young lady looked Zhu Gaoxu up and down, and turned her head slightly, "Brother, isn't he the owner of the Liyuan? The Liyuan is not from the Shen family. Your surname is Shen...it doesn't seem right."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said, "Could it be that the little brother's surname is Mu?"

In an instant, he was really convinced... When he asked the question out of the blue, the little girl didn't change her expression, she still sat upright.And the little chieftain standing behind her sold her again, and the young chieftain was astonished.

"Brother, tell me, how does my surname look like Mu?" Xiao Niang smiled.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Haha, if you don't guess me, I won't guess you."

"Why don't we go to the theater, I don't want to waste this good seat." The girl's face was red.

Zhu Gaoxu got up and said: "You watch slowly, as I said before, you have to leave first if you have something to do."

The two bid farewell to each other.Zhu Gaoxu and others walked out of the private room, and someone sent them out immediately.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to tell people not to send them off, and then he took a look at Wang Bin and Wei Da, his eyes stayed on the dark-skinned Wang Bin's face, beckoned and waited for Wang Bin to bow his head, and then whispered: "Commander Wang has to do something small today. , staring at that little girl, after a while the show broke up, let's see where she went."

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said, "The matter that the young master personally explained is not a small matter, and the small ones will be taken care of!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, turned and left the Liyuan.

……

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Palace of the King of Han, came to the study in the front hall, and summoned Shi Qianxun to meet him.

Most of the civil and military officials in the palace of the Han Dynasty, he had someone check the details. For example, Qian Xun was a small official left by the Jianwen Dynasty.

"How many sons does Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen have?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Qian Xun bowed and replied immediately: "Back to the words of the King of Han, there are four sons. They are the former military governor Qian Shi Geng Xuan, the rear military governor Qian Shi Geng Yu, Shangbao Secretary Geng Xuan, and Honglu Temple You Shaoqing Geng Geng." Qi. After 'Jing Nan', Geng Xuan, Geng Yu, and Geng Xuan were still serving as officials in the capital, and Geng Qi's whereabouts are unknown."

Hearing such a smooth answer, Zhu Gaoxu showed a very satisfied expression, and asked again: "Which family is Geng Hao a child?"

"This..." Qian Xun pondered for a moment, "I don't know."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and Qian Xun said, "Resignation, my subordinate."

After a long time, Wang Bin came back and visited him in the study.He stepped forward to report: "As expected by the prince, those two girls are from the Mu residence, and they entered the Mu residence through the back door. The general will see their appearance, and I'm afraid they may have sneaked out of the Mu residence."

"Oh." Zhu Gaoxu responded, and rubbed his forehead twice with his hand, looking thoughtful.

At this time, Wang Bin continued: "The last general followed all the way, and found that there was another person following the young general. The last general was afraid that he would lose the two girls, so he couldn't find that person... Your lord, the Mu family found me Are they with their people, does it matter?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just that it will make Mu Sheng feel that I am not kind." Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "But the people who are with you may not be from the Mu family."

Wang Bin asked in confusion, "Who will follow the last general?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "How do I know? But Commander Wang himself said that they sneaked out, so they might have deceived the people in Mu's residence."

Wang Bin hesitated and nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu was also at a loss, but these were considered trivial matters, and the Geng family couldn't afford any prodigal sons, so it didn't matter.

...Now what Zhu Gaoxu wonders most is: Why didn't Mu Sheng come to meet him?A prince Zhu Gaoxu came to Yunnan, no matter what, the basic etiquette is still required?

There are three possibilities, one is that Mu Sheng is not in Yunnan Fucheng at all; the other is that he is really sick; the third is that he pretends to be sick and does not want to come to see the son of "Yan Ni"... planning to tear his face and rebel?

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a long time, and then said: "We have to set up a spy office. I dare not do it in the capital. In Yunnan, it is targeting the forces here. It was originally an errand assigned by the emperor.

Commander Wang is the brother of the king, the most reliable, you are also the leader of this government office... Ask Hou Hai to come over and act as a manager; and the old scout brother who was in charge of inquiring about the military situation in "Jing Nan", It's all made up.I pay the salary myself with money from the treasury. "

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said, "The final general will definitely live up to the lord's cronies!"

"Don't make it so blatant, the name is Wangfu Shouyu Baihusuo." Zhu Gaoxu said.

He did it when he thought of it, and found the man in the palace the next day, and quickly built a "stage" on the scale of a hundred households.

Chapter 2 Repentance

/p>"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, but habits are far away..." Lang Lang's reading sound came from the Wenlou of Hanwang Mansion.Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and saw a large group of young and strong men reciting the elementary school, and felt that the scene was indeed a bit weird.

But this kind of strange thing was done by himself, and the people who came to study were the "Hundred Households Guarding the Palace of the Palace" and the sergeants of the Palace Guards.Zhu Gaoxu found that more than half of these men were illiterate, how could they use them if they were illiterate?

In the bright and clean lobby of Wenlou, it was originally a place for elegant Confucian scholars to discuss classics, but now there are two or three hundred black|rough men sitting in front of them.Hou Hai, who was teaching, paced around while studying in the crowd.

Hou Hai saw Zhu Gaoxu first, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, bowed and said, "My lord."

Wang Bin, who was sitting in the innermost seat, turned his head and took a look, and stood up first. A group of men stood up almost at the same time, and turned around to salute the door with fists clasped.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: "No, you go ahead, I'm just passing by to have a look."

After he finished speaking, he left the entrance of the Wenlou, and Qian Xun, the long history beside him, said calmly: "The prince asked the warriors to study in the Wenlou, if it spreads, the scholars all over the world will definitely criticize the prince for emphasizing martial arts and despising literature, and insulting gentlemen. The prince must not ignore it."

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu made a noncommittal voice.It took him a while to realize that his tone and posture seemed to be similar to when his father made this voice.

The right way is to be close to Zhu, red and black, and unknowingly, Zhu Gaoxu seems to have unconsciously learned something from his father.

Qian Xun didn't say anything anymore, and the two walked back and forth on the side street in the front hall of the palace.Zhu Gaoxu was a little lost in thought, bowing his head silently thinking about something.

He was thinking about Mu Sheng, which could also be regarded as the relationship between his father, the prince|dang, Mu Sheng and him.

As for Emperor Jianwen, that was not the person Zhu Gaoxu valued the most.What kills him the most now is the internal contradictions of the King Yan Clan, and the old Jianwen Party is irrelevant.

...First of all, Zhu Gaoxu's own long-term plan has never changed.That is: when one day, others threatened the safety of him and his family, he would rebel directly!He never wants to be like the King of Han in history, waiting to die, waiting for others to smear him and dress him up as a black-faced traitor.

But whether you want to rebel or not is not important, whether you have strength is the key.As long as you have the strength, the opponent will lose his skin even if he is not dead, don't think so easily!

Then, he just tried to find a way to gain great strength.He had been doing this for a long time, hiding some of the most capable generals of the Jianwen Dynasty, which was the only thing he could do to accumulate strength under the eyes of his father.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has arrived in Yunnan, even if there are people watching him, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are many things he can do.He has just arrived, and now he thinks that Mu Sheng is the key to Yunnan.

...There are two most beneficial outcomes for Zhu Gaoxu: Either get rid of Mu Mansion, and Hanwang Mansion dominates Yunnan; or win over Mu Mansion and become his helper.

To achieve the former result, the Prince|Dang will not sit idly by, and the emperor will feel pressured by it; there is also a side effect, the Mu Mansion has a high prestige among the chieftains in Yunnan, without the Mu Mansion, it is possible that the chieftains in Yunnan will lose control for a while.
