Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Jin Zhong angrily, and didn't want to talk to him, so he just waved and said, "Come here and tell me."

The little eunuch bent forward, Zhu Gaoxu was tall, so he bent down so that the little eunuch could reach his ears.The little eunuch covered his mouth with his hand, and put his mouth close to Zhu Gaoxu's ear and whispered: "Realist Chi Yue is my elder sister. I was the little monk who was rescued by Master Chi Yue in Lingquan Temple back then. The elder sister asked me to tell the King of Han that the palace Something may have happened, so I want you to be more careful!"

Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this, and immediately looked at Jin Zhong.

After all, Jin Zhong was also a minister of the Ministry of War and a senior member of the Ministry of Defense. At this time, his expression seemed a little unsteady, and his eyes flickered with worry.Jin Zhong immediately asked: "What did this servant say to the King of Han?"

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: "He said that something happened to the old mansion of the King of Han."

Jin Zhongdao: "This servant is talking nonsense! You don't have many people in the capital's house anymore, what can happen?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I want to know too! No, I have something important in my house, so I have to go back and have a look." After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.

Jin Zhong hurriedly said: "The sage issued a decree for His Highness to enter the palace, you are resisting the decree!"

For a while, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what happened in the palace, but just now when he entered the palace, he felt that there was something strange. Miao Jin suddenly took the risk to ask someone to bring a message. He believed in Miao Jin very much, so he immediately made up his mind Get out of here first!

Zhu Gaoxu kept walking, turned his head and said: "My father said that I must enter the palace at a certain moment? I have said that I will not enter the palace?"

While talking, he observed Jin Zhong, and found that Jin Zhong was very anxious when he saw himself leaving.Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong!

Let Jin Zhong's words speak out, even a civil servant couldn't stop Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaoxu just turned around and left.

At this time, another person came out of the Wenlou, and said: "His Royal Highness, the Holy Majesty told you to go to Kunning Palace to meet the Queen now!"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Guo Zi!Zhu Gaoxu cursed in his heart, he knew too well who this Guo Zi was... Back then when Zhu Gaoxu was still in the capital without being crowned prince, he directed a play that was like a "drama"; , to attack Gao Chi.

Why can what Guo Zi did attack the prince?Because this Guo Zi is the prince's man. The "Battle of Jingnan" lasted for more than three years, and this guy had been assisting Gao Chi in Beiping, and the two were so close that they wished they could wear a pair of trousers.

As soon as Guo Zi came out, Zhu Gaoxu immediately realized: Not only Guo Zi is a prince|Party member, isn't this Jin Zhong?Although Jin Zhong was a confidant and counselor in the old Yan Palace, he had already sided with the prince, and Zhu Gaoxu was not ignorant of it.

Sure enough, as soon as Guo Zi came out, Jin Zhong's face was ashamed, and he looked at Guo Zi with a complaining look.Apparently, Jin Zhong believed that it was not the right thing for Guo Zi to come out of Wenlou suddenly just now!

Zhu Gaoxu almost started to run, striding south quickly.After all, the two doors to leave the palace are all over there!

There is a gate of Wenhua, and a gate of the left hall on the east side of the Meridian Gate.In his desperation, Zhu Gaoxu was still not confused, and soon decided to go back the same way!Because if you go through the gate of the left hall, you will be in the Meridian Gate when you go out, and you have to pass through the Meridian Gate; after passing the Meridian Gate, you will have to walk a long time to get out of the imperial city, which is a road full of nights and dreams.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu's mind was confused, and he thought: Damn, what on earth are the prince's henchmen going to do? !

After Zhu Gaoxu ran away quickly, he saw a group of people coming up that bridge from a distance!He couldn't calm down anymore, because they were not a group of ordinary people, but armored soldiers!

This is the imperial palace, armored soldiers have come in unexpectedly, why did they come in suddenly, is this a rebellion or what?Zhu Gaoxu stopped his steps immediately.

A general on the bridge shouted: "His Royal Highness, please come here, the general has something to report!"

Hearing the voice, Zhu Gaoxu took a closer look and felt that the general looked familiar.But without any hesitation, he turned around immediately, put down all the beagle and etiquette, lifted the hem of the red robe, and started running straight north.

While running desperately, he cursed in his heart: Report|You|Mom!

Although Zhu Gaoxu is very powerful, but now he is wearing silk and black gauze on his head, not even a piece of iron in his body; The armored soldiers of the arrow fight?

Moreover, he felt that the incident this time was extremely serious, completely different from the one that happened at the Zhuozhou Post Station during the Jianwen Dynasty when he escaped from the capital.

At that time, the Jianwen emperor and ministers mainly dealt with Zhu Di, and the chasing general Qu Liangcai did not dare to casually injure the clan, and the orders issued by Emperor Jianwen must have lacked determination; Zhu Gaoxu is probably the main target of the old fritters who give advice and suggestions, and the prince's people will deal with them!

So although Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much about it just now, he immediately judged that the opponent had every chance of winning, and he might not be that weak.

Zhu Gaoxu rushed to the north, but Jin Zhong and Guo Zi seemed to have self-knowledge and did not come to stop Zhu Gaoxu.The two civil servants couldn't stop them at all!

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu remembered that the general who called out just now seemed to be Tan Qing.Zhu Gaoxu was not very familiar with this Tan Qing, so he didn't recognize him right away at first, but he had seen it before.

Tan Qing was just an ordinary general during the "Battle of Jingnan"; but his elder brother who died in the battle was more famous, and the way he became famous was that he liked to kill prisoners!Like a father, like a son, Tan Yuan's son was also a reckless man. He beat people to death without any reason, and was almost sentenced to death, but somehow he was fine later.

When did this Tan Qing become the prince's man?Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know at all now.

But Tan Qing must belong to the prince, because Guo Zi and Jin Zhong who appeared are all from the prince.Moreover, Tan Qing was actually wearing armor and holding a bow and arrow, and led soldiers into the palace; if there was no one to support him, he thought the whole family lived too long?

Zhu Gaoxu ran desperately, he quickly ran past the Wenlou, and didn't go in at all.Just now Jin Zhong kept asking him to enter the Wenlou, there must be some pitfalls in it!

...Zhu Gaoxu didn't figure out what was going on.His majestic prince, the emperor's son, these people dare to do it directly!What is the reason why the prince's people are willing to do such a serious thing?

Jin Zhong, Guo Zi and others relied on their words, but generals like Tan Qing were unreasonable; so Zhu Gaoxu didn't argue about anything, and just ran with all his strength.

The armored soldiers chasing after him were at least a few dozen catties in armor and weapons, so of course they couldn't outrun Zhu Gaoxu.

However, he couldn't cross the bridge to the south, and there were no two ways out of the palace. Where should Zhu Gaoxu go?

Chapter 338 I'm Not Going Back All Night

Miaojin felt more and more that her situation had been messed up by herself.

She paced back and forth on the pedestal outside the door of the Blessing View, looking at the wide lane to the west from time to time, but she couldn't see any movement.The whole palace seemed to be shrouded in a terrible silence.

There is a courtyard wall outside the Praying Temple, and the east is a high red palace wall, at least three feet high (ten meters); the north and south are the walls of the palace, the north is the Dashan Hall, and the south is the Xingqing Palace. The gap between them forms a spacious lane.Miaojin lives in a place like the Praying Temple, so she often feels depressed|depressed.

This morning Miao Jin asked Wang Yin to take the opportunity to remind Gao Xu who was about to enter the palace. At that time, she didn't think too much, but was only concerned about Gao Xu.But now that she has been alone for a long time, she gradually feels afraid.

... The little eunuch Wang Yin came to pray for blessings on the pretext of delivering food in the morning.He said that the East Palace was a bit strange last night, but he didn't dare to tell others, he just wanted to tell his eldest sister, because her eldest sister was someone he trusted, just like a relative.

The incident started yesterday evening when the eunuch Wang Gou'er, who was in charge of the imperial kitchen, went to the imperial gate.Wang Gou'er is not an ordinary eunuch, he is a eunuch.Those who can handle the emperor's meals are of course the emperor's cronies; Wang Gou'er often goes to the emperor's presence, so that he can get closer and familiar with the emperor. If he can't show up in front of the emperor for a long time, he will definitely fall out of favor. knew.

Last night, Wang Gou'er waited behind the imperial gate, just to see what the emperor wanted to eat tonight, so that he could pick and deliver the dishes that the emperor wanted to eat.Godson Wang Yin also became a follower.But Wang Yin just stayed in the distance, waiting for his godfather to recruit him to do some errands or something like that.

Then Wang Yin's godfather followed the emperor to the East Palace, and then suddenly an official went from the East Palace to the left gate.The left hall gate is a palace gate to the east of the Meridian Gate.

After a while, the official led two other officials carrying medicine boxes to the East Palace. The official carrying the boxes might be the imperial doctor.Wang Yin was still waiting for his godfather to come out, so he felt a little strange at that time.

And that's not the weirdest place yet!

Wang Yin waited until dark and didn't see his godfather coming out, so he went back to eat and sleep by himself.This morning Wang Yin went to work in the imperial kitchen and asked other people if his godfather had come... They all said that he had never been to the imperial kitchen.

Then a eunuch who was in charge of meals in the Kunning Palace said that the prince (Wang Gouer) should have been in the East Palace last night, because none of the people who followed the emperor to the East Palace yesterday came back, and they were serving the Emperor in the East Palace.

The Crown Princess came to Kunning Palace last night. She told the slaves that the Emperor has something to discuss with the Crown Prince, and maybe he can leave later.She came to serve the queen mother.

...This morning, Miao Jin felt that something was not right after hearing what Wang Yin said!

What is the relationship between Emperor Zhu Di and his eldest son Gao Chi? Miao Jin met him in the old Yan Palace several years ago, don't you know?Zhu Di has always disliked Gao Chi, the reason is very simple, he thinks Gao Chi is too fat and walks with a limp, and his manner is not very good.

After Zhu Di came to the throne, he made Gao Chi the crown prince. This kind of disgust made him even more jealous, and the relationship could only get worse!In the royal family, the relationship between father and son has been delicate since ancient times. It is rare for a strong ruler not to guard against the prince, especially now that the emperor is strong and the prince is nearly thirty years old.Because the emperor is dead, the prince can ascend the throne, and the death of the emperor is beneficial to the prince!Who can know, in the heart of the prince who is full of loyalty and filial piety, whether he can't wait and expect the emperor to die soon?

What's more, the prince lives in the palace, next to the emperor's couch.For various reasons, the father-son relationship between the emperor and the prince is different from that of other princes.

Will Zhu Di go to the palace of a prince whom he hates and suspects, with only some eunuchs and maids by his side and stay away all night?

Under these circumstances, Miao Jin felt that many people in the harem would feel strange, but the time from last night to this morning was too short, and the palace people generally would not talk too much.This palace is different from the outside, high-ranking people can live and kill palace maids and eunuchs without interrogation and evidence at all, just like a master-slave relationship; everyone is usually cautious and cautious, for fear of being blamed for taking responsibility.When it's none of your business, who dares to take care of it easily?

And even if a smart person realizes that something is wrong, only the people in the palace will be able to notice that it happened after You Hour.A palace man can't be sure what's going on overnight, so what can that person do overnight?
