Bright Spring

"Anyway, it won't harm me." Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Wang Gui, "I made an agreement with her, she did both things, so I let her go."

Wang Gui said again in a deep voice: "She has seen Ping An."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "So what?"

Wang Gui bent down and reminded: "My servant sees that she doesn't look like a well-behaved person, if she speaks out, it will be troublesome."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "Except for Mu Sheng, who would trust her? Will she go to reconcile with Mu Sheng?" He paused and said calmly, "Duan Yang has a powerful daughter who I don't know."

"My servant is stupid." Wang Gui hurriedly said, "I am timid, I am afraid that I will spoil the prince's important affairs."

Zhu Gaoxu picked up a bamboo tube on the public seat in front of him and handed it to Wang Gui.Wang Gui took it with both hands, holding it in his hand to see what it is, there is a lead wire at one end, it looks like a firework?

"Send it to Chen Dachui's house. Tell him, if someone doesn't look at my face and wants to search his house forcibly, use this to send a signal... This is just in case." Zhu Gaoxu said, "The brothers in the guard house saw it. Signal, I will send troops to reinforce."

Wang Gui clasped his fists and said in a low voice: "Your maidservant obeyed... It is really worrying to be safe in Yunnan Fucheng. My lord, can the people in the court be fooled by what we are doing?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered endlessly, and seemed not too sure.After a while, he said thoughtfully: "In the game, even if you really did nothing, you will be suspected. If this is the case, you have to rack your brains to clear yourself of the suspicion anyway, so in fact What's the difference between not doing it and not doing it?"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hands and said, "Go ahead, go back to the room to take a shower after finishing the work, and take a breath."

"Slave and servant leave." Wang Gui walked backwards for several steps, then turned around, passed through the red pillar in the middle, and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

... Both sides of the main hall are rows of waist-high windows, so the lighting is very good, and the place is very spacious, giving it an upright and bright scene.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Chengyun Hall for a while, then clapped his hands on the armrests of the chair, stood up, and walked straight to the door of the hall.

The servant girls standing at the door bowed their knees and saluted together, and the guards outside the door also clasped their fists to salute Zhu Gao.Zhu Gaoxu ignored them, went out and turned left and went straight to the study.

In the study, he began to read the reports of the Chief of the Palace, Shi Si, and the Imperial Palace.In fact, even if Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about anything every day, it wouldn't affect the operation of the Han Palace in the slightest. However, he still paid close attention to the news obtained by the spies, so as to keep abreast of the subtle changes in the situation.

There is another report from the northern stronghold of the guard house.Not long after the stronghold was established, some artificial eyeliners were bought, mainly to monitor the Geng family.

But today's report in the north of the city had nothing to do with the Geng family, it said that there was an army from the guard station who had been transferred into the city from the north gate of the city.The spies also inquired about it, and it was said that there was a rebellion by the Yi people in the Qujing mansion, so the Yunnan governor wanted to rectify a force and increase troops to the Qujing site.

Zhu Gaoxu was completely unaware of this matter.Sending troops into Yunnan Fucheng at this moment?He takes this sign very seriously.

After thinking for a while, he immediately picked up the brush on the inkstone, spread out a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on the paper, and shouted: "Come here!"

The eunuch Cao Fu, who was standing outside the study, walked in quickly, and said: "Your servant is here, what is your order?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't even put the envelope in it, pointed to the paper on the table and said, "Blow it dry, send it to the Commander's office in Yunnan."

"Your servant obeys." Cao Fu hurriedly stepped forward.

... In the afternoon, the Yunnan Dusi sent someone to send a reply letter, and the officials of the Dusi explained in detail the ins and outs of the transfer.Only then did Zhu Gaoxu almost believe it. It turned out that the transfer of the capital was entirely official business.

For a while, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he was a little too worried.

The Yi people who rebelled were natives of Yuezhou in Qujing Prefecture. In the past, there was a chieftain named Long Hai in the Yuan Dynasty.In Hongwuzhong, Mu Ying led an army into Yunnan, and Longhai surrendered to the Ming army under the persuasion of Liu Tai and others.

So Longhai went to Beijing to pay tribute, and was summoned by the emperor in Nanjing Fengtian Temple, and was granted the title of Tuzhizhou of Yuezhou.Soon Long Hai was transferred to Liaodong to assist the Ming army in combat.In the 20th year of Hongwu, Longhai died of illness on the road.

Then Longhai's son, Azi, inherited Yuezhou Tuzhizhou.Ah Zi was deeply concerned about the death of his father Long Hai, and he was unwilling to be drafted out of his hometown, so he built fortresses, gathered troops and horses, and refused to obey the military orders of the Ming Dynasty government.

In the 28th year of Hongwu, the Ming army advanced|suppressed, beheaded A Zi, took the opportunity to reform the land and return to Yuezhou, and set up Liuguan in Yuezhou.

Until the recent first year of Yongle, the Yi people in Yuezhou rebelled again.They set up private checkpoints on the roads to buy tolls, and robbed businessmen at every turn.Because Yuezhou is the main road leading to the southern part of Yunnan from Qujing Prefecture, there are constant exchanges of officials, business travelers, and the rebellion of the Yi people has seriously affected the government's rule.

An incident happened last month that finally made the Yunnan government decide to use troops against Yuezhou...

At that time, a group of government personnel passed through Yuezhou, but the natives asked them to pay taxes.There was a dispute between the officials and the natives, and one official was killed!

The Yunnan government doesn't care about the life and death of an official at all, but it concerns the authority of the government, and all the civil and military officials in Yunnan Fucheng are angry.After the three divisions obtained the consent of Mu's residence, all commanders and envoys received the deployment of troops from Mu's residence, and began to transfer troops from various guards, and at the same time quickly reported to the court.

The current situation in the city is that the guards sent by the Mu Mansion ordered them to gather into an army before entering Qujing.

... After reading it, Zhu Gaoxu paid attention to the fact that the Dusi had to ask the Mu family to agree to this passage.

The rule of the Ming Dynasty in the provinces implemented the separation of powers among the three divisions of administration, military and law.The government and the army are divided into powers, and the local commanders and envoys do not have the right to mobilize troops, and generally have to go through the Ministry of War; but Yunnan is too far away, as long as the Mu Mansion discusses with the local departments, it can mobilize troops first for small-scale operations. Report to the court again.

The power given to the Mu Mansion by the Hongwu and Jianwen dynasties is still valid today.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but let out a short sneer when he thought that after the Mu family made decisions about Yunnan's military and political affairs, he would be left alone.

If it wasn't for the spies guarding the Imperial Palace to inquire about the news, Zhu Gaoxu felt that the battle in Yuezhou was over, and he might still not know about the counter|rebellion!

Chapter 233 Reality and Illusion

/p>The sun still hangs in the western sky.Behind the three main halls of King Han's Mansion and inside the Chengyun Gate is the Harem; the last rays of the setting sun sprinkled the palace rooms and brick floors here.

Guo Wei is doing trivial things in the palace, her skirt is shuttled in the orange afterglow, the silk material is quite shiny, as if gathering all the light on the dress.

When she was not seeing guests, she generally wore ordinary clothes, not a princess's gown or dress.Because the clothes stipulated by the etiquette system are very rigid in style, color and pattern, what to wear is only related to the status level.Therefore, ordinary daily attire can best see the preferences of ladies.

Guo Wei was wearing a light purple silk beige that reached her knees, and her lower skirt was a simple six-pleat long skirt.After all, she is only 15 years old this year, and choosing some light-colored clothes is also suitable for her.There were no patterns on the dress, only embroidery on the hem, which looked simple and elegant.

As a matter of fact, she doesn't need to do anything, so she wears long clothes.The elegant and elegant long dress and the white lining collar make her tender and white skin very fair, which makes people feel good about her.

The eyebrow mask on her forehead is also a little more pretty, which suits her delicate face very well.The big eyes on the small face and the petiteness below the cheeks make her look delicate and pure.

Guo Wei brewed the tea herself, and placed it on the table next to Zhu Gaoxu.Seeing him in a daze, Guo Wei didn't speak.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said, "Thank you."

"Why is your lord so polite?" Guo Wei asked softly.

Zhu Gaoxu said gently: "You are doing what you don't need to do. Wei Er, if you are in a bad mood these days, don't force yourself to please me."

Guo Wei was stunned for a moment, she understood what the prince meant: something about her sister made her feel bad.

When Wang Gui went to Beijing to deliver medicinal materials to the queen, he brought along a letter from Guo Wei to his parents and sister; when Wang Gui came back, he brought the shocking news of her sister's miscarriage!

After her sister was pregnant, she was entangled by a swarm of bees while admiring peonies, slipped and fell into a pool, and then had a miscarriage!Her sister herself is not in danger of life, but the imperial doctor said that it may affect the future fertility of the prince and second concubine.

Guo Wei has been restless for several days, worried and afraid of various things... It is said that the crown prince, the crown princess Zhang Shi, and the crown prince's second concubine Guo Yan all went to admire the flowers that day. Why did the bees only sting Guo Yan?But the palace has come to a conclusion, everything is just an accident.

How much pain should my sister feel?

... At first Zhu Gaoxu comforted Guo Wei.But in the past two days, Guo Wei discovered that Zhu Gaoxu was also worried, so she deliberately restrained her sadness, so as not to cause trouble for him.

At times like this, Guo Wei couldn't make the prince bore herself.

The words of her father and mother rang in her ears over and over again: The whole family's trust is on you!

But now that her sister is like that, Guo Wei feels that she can only rely on herself, and she can't make any mistakes... Guo Wei is even worried that what her mother said will come true: she can't give birth to a grandson, she will be divorced!
