Bright Spring

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu pondered and said: "Jian Wenjun's confidant is at least a military general of a certain level in the capital... Looking at your face, I guess who you are!" He said and observed the round-faced man Subtle emotional changes in the eyes.

The man's mouth was gagged, and he didn't try to speak.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Mr. Jianwen accidentally slipped down the cliff, but we can still confirm his identity. Just put the body in the ice cellar, and then ask someone from the capital to verify his identity. So you don't have to try to commit suicide, it's useless of……

If you die, this king can only ask the Capital Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to send someone over for an autopsy. At that time, your identity will be known throughout the court, and no one who wants to protect your family will be able to protect you.Do you understand what this king means? "

The round-faced man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed, as long as the other party was willing to communicate with him, everything would be much easier.So he said: "Very good. Now this king will take the cloth ball out of your mouth and untie you. Don't try to do something useless, lest there is no room for discussion between the two, okay? "

The man nodded again.

Zhu Gaoxu personally untied him and removed the cloth from his mouth.

The round-faced man immediately said: "Your Highness just meant that you won't reveal my identity?"

Zhu Gaoxu replied: "If you fall into the hands of Hu Wei, there is no room for maneuver in this matter. Fortunately, it fell into the hands of this king! Although this king is the son of my father, he is a prince, not just my father like Hu Wei." minions, dare not do anything without authorization."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the man's pensive expression, and thought: Sure enough, he guessed right, this person should be an official with status, most likely a military general, he must have a family member in the capital; and "Battle of Jing Nan" Finally, his family did not liquidate!

Zhu Gaoxu then struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "I have already guessed seven or eight times who my brother is from. You'd better tell me directly, lest I have to find someone in the capital to confirm, and then the paper will not be able to cover the fire."

The man said nothing.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I have already said what should be said. Brother will live here first."

At this moment, the man suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, please stay."

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked at his face calmly.

The round-faced man mused, "Why did His Highness the King of Han help me conceal my identity?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "As I said just now, I have already guessed your identity. After all, Jianwen Jun is probably dead. It is impossible for General He to be rebellious. I have a good personal relationship with General He..."

Speaking of this, the man's face changed drastically!His eyes were straightened, and he stared at Zhu Gaoxu in a daze.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "It seems that I guessed correctly. After all, you are brothers, and you look alike."

The man finally said: "Your Highness, there is no need to find someone to confirm, the last general is indeed He Lu. Ningyuan Marquis He Fu is the eldest brother of the last general."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his face almost died of laughter, and he tried his best to restrain himself from laughing out loud!Although he felt that this person was a bit like his old acquaintance He Fu just now, after being confirmed, he was still overjoyed!

That guy He Fu has calculated everything, his niece is married to Zhu Gaoxu's third brother, and now Zhu Di is very important, and he is indeed deeply favored by the emperor... But his brother is protecting Emperor Jianwen, and he did not report it. Zhu Di has been worrying about Jianwen for so long!If Zhu Di finds out about this matter, I can't even imagine what will happen to He Fu...

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu laughing, He Lu lowered his head and remained silent, his face flushed.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Don't worry, General He. He Fu and I do have a good personal relationship. Although we fought many battles in the 'Battle of Jingnan', after my father ascended the throne, the grievances between each other have long been resolved.

Like what happened last time.The royal father led all the generals to hunt in Xiaohong Mountain, and the prize of the hunt was a "Qianlixue" bloody horse, which was wanted by many people.At that time, I was comparable to He Fu's prey, but later I found an excuse to give it to him, and he was very grateful to me. "

He Lu hesitated and said: "Our brothers are each masters, and the last general really doesn't want to hurt the eldest brother."

Zhu Gaoxu slapped his thigh suddenly, and said: "I suddenly remembered that once Chen Ying, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached He Fu, he just talked about your affairs, saying that your whereabouts were unknown and you had ulterior motives. Now I feel that Chen Ying This time, I was right!"

He Lu was worried and angry at the same time: "Chen Ying, that fellow, used to be a scum in the officialdom, and no one looked down on him..."

Zhu Gaoxu only felt his whole body lighten up, and he said very easily: "General He, don't worry, I am the only one who knows your identity now. The guards and soldiers have never seen a general like He Fu with their own eyes, and no one has proof Prove who you are; and they are the king's people, as long as I say hello, there will be no problem."

He Lu hastily knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for keeping me safe! I'm not afraid of death alone, I'm afraid I'll hurt the He family..."

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to help him up, and said kindly: "I will arrange General He to hide in a secret place, but you have to write a letter to tell your elder brother that you are here with me, and then write something safe." What would you like to say? In case the news about Mr. Jianwen goes back and makes your elder brother worry."

He Lu clasped his fists and said, "The last general has to obey His Highness's arrangement."

Zhu Gaoxu kept nodding: "Very good, very good."

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked again: "The two dead people are indeed Mr. Jianwen and his son?"

He Lu nodded his head, knelt down on the ground immediately, and soon burst into tears: "The last general is incompetent, not well protected, he deserves death..."

Zhu Gaoxu persuaded: "Even if he was an emperor, he is still a body of flesh and blood. He fell down by himself, no wonder General He. General He risked his whole family and loyally defended the old lord until now. "

Chapter 254

/p>He Fu was originally a marquis, from an official to a governor. After the "Battle of Jingnan", he made a pledge of loyalty, marriage and other actions; in addition, after King Yan ascended the throne, he had to worry about a larger territory and an urgent need for generals. He Fu has re-entered the ranks of the most senior generals of the Ming emperor.

But now that He Fu's younger brother is in Zhu Gaoxu's hands, many people know that Zhu Gaoxu has captured a close friend of Jianwen's. If this matter is revealed, it will be He Fu's death talisman... Does he still dare to be disobedient?

Zhu Gaoxu was immersed in joy for a long time as if he had found a treasure.

It is not easy for a military official who is an official in the court to become a vassal king!Even the crown prince did not dare to win over courtiers easily.

While excited, Zhu Gaoxu found that he was a little uneasy.

After pacing in this small courtyard like a patio for a while, he finally grasped the source of the uneasiness... No matter how careful he was in this kind of thing, the person he deceived was his father Zhu Di after all; The powerful lord who has the ability to sanction Zhu Gaoxu!If Zhu Gaoxu had lied to someone else, he wouldn't have such faint fear.

But he was still going to do it.At this time, he didn't dare to rebel, thinking that he was going to die; but if he didn't dare to take risks to accumulate strength, he could only sit and wait for death.

Zhu Gaoxu thought, He Fu is more reliable than Zhu Neng Qiu Fu and others.The old generals of the Yan Palace favored and supported Zhu Gaoxu the most, but it is impossible for them to rebel... People in this world must either make him feel the fundamental threat, or let him see the real and huge benefits, otherwise they will be called The honorable nobles who are rich and powerful are taking risks with their heads up, why?

"People's hearts!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly sighed softly.

At this time, Chen Dachui came from the sidewalk, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I also escorted Mrs. Duan Yang back to the palace, and she is still locked in the corridor room last time."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded his head, and thought: The two mothers and daughters who have always wanted revenge have finally fallen into his own hands.You can handle it however you want.

Just now he sighed, and suddenly remembered some things, which didn't seem to make sense.

According to Duan Yang's thinking: the main way of revenge is to use the matter of Jianwen to completely bring down Mu Sheng's family; and assassinating Mu Sheng is not her main method, otherwise the deployment of the assassination would not seem so hasty.

At that time, it was almost a success to find out about Mu Sheng's private possession of Jianwen.As a mother, why do you have to let your daughter die in vain?If Duan Yang was a heartless and ungrateful person, he would not have spent more than ten years avenging his husband.

He thought about it, and always felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word just now, but Chen Dachui cupped his fists and said, "I will take my leave."

"Sledgehammer, come with me." Zhu Gaoxu called him to stop.

Chen Dachui said again: "Yes."

The two walked along the eaves corridor under the eaves to the empty corridor beside it.Zhu Gaoxu went in and out of the next few rooms, and after a while, he picked a room.

This room seems to be a place for taking a nap, with a bed and a few pieces of furniture.There is another side room next to it, the door of the side room is very low, and it can be seen that only servants and maidservants will go inside.

"Push it over." Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the wooden shelf by the wall, on which there were some porcelain decorations.

Chen Dachui pushed the wooden frame to the door of the side room according to the order.Zhu Gaoxu took a look, but couldn't tell there was a door there, the wooden frame was just like a piece of furniture leaning against the wall.He immediately felt very satisfied.
