Bright Spring

Hu Guang handed the secret decree to Mu Sheng's raised hands, and said, "I've finished my official business, and I'm here to deliver the secret decree."

After putting away his things, Mu Sheng relaxed a little, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Hu, what happened to the capital?"

Hu Guangdao: "The Holy Majesty just came to the throne, and I left Beijing. What I know, Brother Mu must also know. But..."

Mu Sheng hurriedly urged: "Not too much?"

Hu Guang hesitated for a moment, then the staring groom's face with dilated pupils and the strange sneer on Hanwang's face suddenly flashed before his eyes.Hu Guangchang took a deep breath and said: "However, the Holy Majesty and the ministers discussed, no matter what, we must first stabilize Brother Mu, and settle the account later."

"What account?" Mu Sheng stared, showing a look of fear and anger for a moment.

Hu Guangdao: "I'm not an old official of the East Palace, nor the people from the original Yan Palace. Some things are unknown. Brother Mu, you can figure it out for yourself!"

Mu Sheng paced back and forth in the study, his brows were furrowed, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Hu Guang couldn't help but asked again: "Has the King of Han returned to Yunnan?"

Mu Sheng said, "No news yet."

Hu Guang said again: "Brother Mu, please arrange a secluded house, and I will leave tomorrow."

Only then did Mu Sheng hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Brother Hu, for reminding us about the court affairs."

Hu Guang's face was a bit ugly, and he said: "I didn't help anything, and I really deserve it."

"Where is it?" Mu Sheng took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and said in a low voice, "When you return to the capital, someone will come to your door with a small gift, please check it out."

Hu Guang hurriedly refused, "No need, I really deserve it!"

Mu Sheng couldn't help but stuff the paper into Hu Guang's collared clothes.He turned his head and shouted: "Come here, see off the guests!"

It was the same servant who opened the door just now and stood at the door. Hu Guang and Mu Sheng said goodbye to each other, and hurried out of the study.At this moment, Hu Guang saw the back of a young lady who seemed to come out from the back door of the study.

Hu Guang turned his head and glanced at the servant leading the way again, but the servant turned a deaf ear to him, as if he didn't notice Xiaoniang at all.

Chapter 368 The Empty Majesty

There seems to be nothing unusual in the city of Yunnan Prefecture, the gates of the city are not under martial law, and the government offices are open as usual.

Those who knew more or less what was going on in the capital hadn't acted rashly at this time; it seemed that Qiu Dong was lurking. "

When the group arrived at the front palace, Zhu Gaoxu retreated to the left and right, sat down with his family members, and gave a general account of what happened in the capital.Several people said something on the table to comfort Zhu Gaoxu, but they couldn't hide their worry.

Zhu Gaoxu asked Guo Wei to settle down Miaojin, then got up and went to the bedroom to change into a red regiment dragon uniform, left the harem and went to the front hall.

He didn't go to the study immediately, or summoned Wenwu, but first went to the main hall of the Chengyun Palace, and stopped the eunuchs and maids beside him outside the gate.

This hall is usually used on formal occasions, and there is no one in it at this time.The large pillars supporting the majestic double eaves exude a solemn atmosphere.Zhu Gaoxu stepped onto the familiar throne and sat down alone.

In the empty hall, everything seemed to return to stillness for a moment.

The lingering affection, the feeling of joy of reunion, the worries of the family members, the guilt of a long absence, the balance of all kinds of people... Zhu Gaoxu has been suppressed in his heart for the time being.However, it seems difficult to let go of the ties, after all, what he does and he lives are no longer just for himself.

Unfortunately, each side is maliciously assuming the opponent in order to create a more favorable situation for itself.It seems that the world will not be able to hide its hideous true face just because of any affection.

…Finally able to stop from the hasty coping for more than a month, Zhu Gaoxu sat here alone, feeling more and more that the king should be lonely, because the ancients called themselves widows.The gambler is also lonely because he always borrows money from everyone.

He tilted his body slightly, adjusted a more comfortable posture with less effort, and supported his head with his arms slightly, looking thoughtful, and did not move for a long time.

For a moment, he didn't really think about anything.For a while, he was thinking wildly, with various images appearing in his mind, as if he saw fragments of the past and the future.

The sun was shining brightly outside the hall, but Zhu Gaoxu seemed to see the illusion of the wind and rain.

Chapter 369

It was slightly dark beside the main hall, and the eunuch Wang Gui's body blocked some of the bright sunlight outside the door.Zhu Gaoxu looked sideways and nodded, Wang Gui walked in with a bent waist, and said: "My lord, Chen Dachui has returned to the palace, and he is outside begging to see you."

"Tell him to come in." Zhu Gaoxu said immediately.

"The slaves obey."

At this time Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Did Chen Dachui come back alone?"

Wang Gui turned around and hugged Fuchen with both hands, and replied with certainty: "Yes, he went back to the mansion alone, and he just arrived."

After a while, Chen Dachui entered through the main entrance of the front hall and strode towards this side.

He went straight to the bottom of the steps of the throne, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general pays his respects to the lord. On the day the lord escorted the prisoners back to Beijing, I had something to go to...that place. When I came back, everyone had already left the old palace. I asked the servants , I felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly left the mansion. But then, I inquired about a few important things in the capital."

Chen Dachui was dressed in the dust, just like the day Zhu Gaoxu had just returned to Yunnan.When Chen Dachui was speaking, he turned his head to look at the back door of the front hall, there were still some court ladies and eunuchs standing outside.

However, the front hall is very large, with a width of eleven rooms, and Zhu Gaoxu sat in the middle, as long as the voice was slightly quieter, it would be difficult to hear clearly outside the hall in the distance.He beckoned and said, "Mr. Chen approached me and spoke."

Chen Dachui walked up the steps, stood next to Zhu Gaoxu and said in a low voice: "My son-in-law's son, Wang Zhenliang, his mansion may have been watched by people sent by Jin Yiwei. I didn't dare to look for him, and he never came to the jade shop.

I first lived in the jade shop for a few days, bought some oil, salt, firewood and rice, and opened the door to do business.Within ten days, Gao Xianning from the Hanlin Academy, and the little fair-looking junior, all visited the jade shop.These two people told me some things about the capital. The first thing is that Mu Bin, the only son of Marquis Xiping, was killed! "

Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this, his eyes closed.

Chen Dachui continued: "The thing is roughly that in the Mu's mansion in the capital, a housekeeper named Chen Wu took Mu Bin to escape in the early morning. But Mu Bin was shot dead by an assassin with a crossbow|arrow|arrow|arrow|arrow|arrow just as he left the house. Killed by his accomplices. Jin Yiwei is still investigating the assassin, and has yet to find out exactly what happened.

The second thing, Gao Xianning told me.King Min filed a letter to sue Xipinghou, saying that Xipinghou had colluded with the Han Palace for a long time, and the facts of the complaint were very detailed. "Chen Dachui roughly explained the content of King Min's complaint.

Just as Chen Dachui finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly raised his head, "Hahaha..." and laughed loudly.Chen Dachui couldn't help laughing too, with a happy expression on his face.

The laughter alarmed the servants outside the hall, and everyone quietly looked inside curiously.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced, his eyes were pierced by the bright sunlight.

…A while ago it rained in autumn, but today the sun is really bright.Zhu Gaoxu had never felt the clear and clear scenery until now, so vivid.Maybe there will be new dark clouds in the sky after a while, but at least the current situation is really refreshing.

Thinking of the tragic loss of Mu Sheng's son, Zhu Gaoxu gradually held back his laughter.Immediately, I felt a little strange again, because the content of King Min's complaint, except for the large movement in the jadeite business, there were many details that King Min was hard to know.

But no matter what, these subsections will not affect Zhu Gaoxu's mood at the moment.

Zhu Gaoxu's laughter stopped completely, with a smile on his face, he raised his finger and pointed at Chen Dahammer, exhaled a long breath, and put his hand down again.He clapped his hands on the armrest, and he stood up briskly, and said, "Boss Chen, go back and take a breath."

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said: "The last general will get the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the front hall quickly, led the eunuch Wang Gui and others, walked eastward along the wide brick square, and came to the corridor where the study was located; there was a small courtyard surrounded by some houses.Zhu Gaoxu only left Wang Gui to wait on him, and the other servants were dismissed.

Wang Gui got the instruction to call the four people from Wushan Taoyuan and the three guard commanders here.

There are some peach and plum trees planted in the courtyard. When Zhu Gaoxu first moved into the Hanwang Mansion, the trees were still very small, but after a few years, they have grown up with lush branches and leaves before he knew it.

Maybe the world is like a tree.Zhu Gaoxu has to make his own choice as to which direction things will develop, just like the trunk of a tree.However, the branches and leaves of all things will grow and flourish with the passage of time. One person's time and energy cannot manage it, and a group of people must affect its growth.

When the seven people came to the small courtyard one after another, Zhu Gaoxu told them the news about the capital.Zhu Gaoxu not only needs to find people to discuss how to make decisions, but also let these people know and participate in the decision-making, so that everyone can understand which direction the trunk is going to grow, and thus can manage the lush branches and leaves.

After hearing this, everyone discussed and speculated how Mu Sheng would feel after knowing the news.
