Bright Spring

At this time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help wondering whether Xu Huizu's idea of ​​divorce was the idea at that time? !However, Zhu Gaochi didn't bring up the old matter again, and asked nonchalantly, "Who is separating?"

"Mu Sheng." Xu Huizu said.

"Mu Sheng?" Zhu Gaochi frowned and repeated.Mu Sheng's son, Mu Bin, died in the capital. Mu Sheng had surrendered to the enemy in Yunnan, and he had openly become an accomplice of the rebellion. How could he be alienated?

Xu Huizu put his hands on his chest and said: "My lord, some people's loyalty comes from the heart..." He paused slightly, "But the loyalty of most people in the world is due to their pros and cons, likes and dislikes."

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and said: "We will discuss it after we have decided."

...Xu Huizu came out of Dongnuan Pavilion, walked up the inclined corridor, and went straight out of Qianqing Gate.Then he walked for a long time before passing the Meridian Gate and Chengtian Gate, and returned to the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies where he was on duty, which was located next to the Thousand Steps Corridor.

After a while, Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, who had just been transferred back to the capital from Datong to report on his duties, and He Fu, who was still serving in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, came to see Xu Huizu first.

The two talked about military affairs one after another, never mentioning those words that were indecent.Such things as Wei Guogong is back, our old general has another chance, and whether we will have a place in the court in the future depends on Wei Guogong...etc, vulgar!

In the past, those old brothers were all from good backgrounds and had seen the world. How can they be like the "Jingnan Heroes" now?People from humble backgrounds speak freely, and their virtues are even more mixed. To say who you are and who I am is an insult to such a high status!

"The British prince is more than stable, but not courageous." Xu Hui Zuyu said earnestly, "He still lacks a little heart in general."

Wu Gao immediately nodded and said: "Duke Wei's words are justified. If Duke Ying is asked to be the general of Ping-Han to coordinate the overall situation, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for the country."

Xu Huizu was very pleased with what he heard. He liked Wu Gao's way of speaking very much. A man should have great ambitions for the world!Instead of being full of flies and dogs, doing things that form | parties for personal gain.

He Fudao: "Wei Guogong is an old minister, and he has the help of gods (the father of the City God Temple). The last general believes that Wei Guogong is the best candidate for General Pinghan."

Xu Huizu shook his head without hesitation and said: "This proposal is not feasible, the courtiers will definitely not accept it!"

Wu Gao and He Fu didn't continue talking, they were buried in their thoughts.

"If there are no important people in the palace or the imperial court to trust and support, it is really difficult for people like us to be reused." He Fu said thoughtfully in a deep voice.

Xu Huizu's eyes moved from He Fu's face to Wu Gao's body, stayed here, and said calmly: "If you have great merit, you can always make up for it."

There was a silence in the study room, everyone didn't speak too much, but they all understood what was going on in their hearts.

... In just a few years after the "Battle of Jingnan", Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty used different methods to clean | cleanse and suppress the old officials of Jianwen.The various parties and forces in the original court have almost disappeared, and only a few people who surrendered remain.Now the civil and military personnel in the imperial court, as well as the guards and soldiers of the pro-army, how can they allow the old man to make a comeback?

The current situation is that people like them can't get into the eyes of dignitaries and courtiers at all; if people in the court heard that Jianwen's old man had any chance, I'm afraid many people would laugh out loud.

Chapter 4 and Ten

After the time of You, He Fu left the simple and elegant Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, and left the imperial city through the Hongwu Gate.

There is no snow in the capital at the end of winter, but the cold is approaching.Under the gloomy sky, everything seemed to be peaceful.But He Fu has seen the surge of great events, and even felt that the undercurrent is also surging in places that cannot be seen.

Back at the Hou's Mansion on the west side of the imperial city, He Fu saw his wife, Mrs. Xu, who whispered, "My niece is here, brother Xu Zhang's daughter, who has been crying all afternoon."

"What is she here for?" He Fu frowned.

"Being divorced by King Zhao, if you are wronged at home, please come to me to complain." Xu said.

Xu was a widow before marrying He Fu.Her younger brother, Xu Zhang, used to be a general guarding Yan Wangfu.

And the daughter of Xu Zhang, a military general of Yan Wangfu, married Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui at the beginning of Yongle.Later, because Emperor Taizong (Zhu Di) wanted to marry Mufu, and Ms. Xu hadn't had a child for several years, she was divorced by King Zhao and returned to her natal family to live.

In this world, if a woman is divorced by her husband's family, it would be a great shame and humiliation. The two parents' families will usually turn against each other, and the abandoned wife should hang herself!Since Ms. Xu is living in the world, isn't it natural for her to be wronged?

Xu Zhang's relationship with the royal family has become more delicate because of his sudden fall from the royal family; the royal family may also feel a little sorry for the former general of the Yan Palace, and instead avoid neglecting him even more.I'm afraid Xu Zhang will be even more unhappy, and he will inevitably blame his daughter's stomach for not living up to expectations.

So He Fu immediately murmured again: "I don't know what to cry about? I don't know why I cried to you!"

Xu said quietly: "My concubine also lost her husband before, maybe she thinks that aunt and nephew can share the same illness."

He Fu glared at him, but said nothing.Now he and Xu have been husband and wife for many years, and their relationship is quite good. How can they feel pity for Xu Zhang's daughter?

He Fu walked into the living room of the inner house and asked Mrs. Xu to come and meet her.After all, they are relatives, if they don't see each other, it seems too snobbish and ruthless.

After Mrs. Xu came in, He Fu took a look and saw that Mrs. Xu had a different figure from her father Xu Zhang and her aunt Xu.Ms. Xu is a bit short, with a petite figure and a small face. Although she is very young and thin-skinned, her appearance is really a bit of a petite jade, and she doesn't have the bearing of a lady.

Her eyes were red, and after seeing Li, she didn't complain in front of He Fu, and behaved very silently.

He Fu took the initiative to ask, "Did your father ask you to come here?"

Lady Xu shook her head, and said pitifully: "If you go back to my uncle, I just miss my aunt, and I want to come."

After hearing this, He Fu changed his tone and asked, "Your father agreed?"

This time Ms. Xu nodded.

He Fu couldn't help but look for the hall immediately.Mrs. Xu was originally a prince and concubine, but now she looks so down and down, it really made him feel mixed feelings...

The dinner was not ready yet, so He Fu walked into the study and sat down.He didn't write, nor did he, just sat there thinking about things.

Previously, He Fu accidentally thought that Xu Zhang might be able to use his own influence... After all, the old general Jianwen is plotting to recover, so there is no chance!

Today, Xu Huizu, He Fu, and Wu Gao, the three princes Xungui, talked for a while at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. They talked about the country's society and military affairs; they also talked about the deployment of the next round of the counter-insurgency war.But He Fu has picked out the most critical points from the grand topic.

Who will be the commander of the army to aid Guizhou!

... There can be a distinction between the honorable generals in the court, that is, "the heroes of Jingnan" and "the heroes of the founding of the country".

Old Jianwen generals such as Xu Huizu, Wu Gao, He Fu, etc., were not able to be princes because of their allegiance to Jianwen, but they were already in power in the Hongwu Dynasty. They can all be classified as "founding heroes"; Fight for the Tai | ancestors.

However, Qiu Fu and Zhang Fu's generation were not farts before, and they were able to gain power because they made contributions to Emperor Taizong's attempt to seize the throne, so they are called "Jing Nan Heroes".

On the side of Jing Nan's heroes, many people have died, and most of the younger generations have not grown up; Zhang Yu's son, Zhang Fu, is the most promising general.What Zhang Fu meant was not to be a general on the Guizhou battlefield, but he wanted to be a "Ping-Han General" and command the military affairs of several provinces in the Southwest!

Zhang Fu is the military general with the greatest chance. He is not only an important general of the King Yan family, but also took the lead in voting for Jinshang during the disputes between Taizong's sons.His background and loyalty are very reliable, and he has made great achievements in An Nanguo, performed well, and has a lot of ability...

On the side of the founding hero, because of the death of Emperor Taizong, the liquidation of the old Jianwen party, and the help of Empress Renxiao before his death, Xu Huizu gradually came out of the cage.However, their vitality is still far from being restored, so it is impossible to fight against the "Jing Nan hero" in one step.

Now He Fu understands the old party's intentions.Xu Huizu wanted to oppose Zhang Fu's idea of ​​"suspending the decisive battle and besieging the southwest" first, and won Xu Huizu's own strategy of "assisting Guizhou and decisively winning the southwest" to be recognized by the court;

Once the old party's nobles have made great contributions in the counter-insurgency war, and then the old people make a comeback and return to the decision-making center of the court, it is no longer a luxury!

It is not feasible for Xu Huizu to seek credit by himself. His identity has attracted too much attention, just as he himself said, "This proposal is not feasible, and the courtiers will definitely not accept it"!So one of Wu Gao and He Fu is the best choice.

The two of them had already been enshrined as marquises, their status and prestige were not low, and they had experience.

My aunt asked her quietly in the warm pavilion: "Do you not know how to serve men? King Zhao doesn't want to get close to you?"

Lady Xu said aggrievedly: "Really! I had a very good relationship with the prince. The prince is not very close to others, and often has sex with me. The prince still praised me on the pillow, saying that although I am petite, I am very good there. Said that he loves to look at my demeanor and listen to my voice, no one else can compare to him, he feels more like a majestic man."

The aunt spat, but her face turned red, and she said, "How dare you say that!"

Mrs. Xu was also embarrassed and said: "In this boudoir, I only dare to talk to my aunt. The prince is good at everything, but he is too ruthless. He just wants to marry a woman from the Mu family. He thinks her status is more noble. If you turn your face, you will ignore it." We have been married for several years!"

Aunt said: "Marriage is not up to King Zhao to decide."
