Bright Spring

After hearing this, Xu Huizu kowtowed and said, "I thank you, and I will leave."

He performed the etiquette and walked out of the imperial gate, he couldn't help but sigh for a while.Even when dealing with political affairs, the Holy One also asked Huang and Qi to accompany him, which shows that the holy family is very important.No wonder the princes and ministers who advocated the "Tweeting Law" hated Huang and Qi's "vassal reduction faction".

Chapter 7 Hard to Fly

After Xu Huizu left, Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Duke Wei's plan is really to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, very ruthless. As long as the princes of King Yan are confined, confined to a square inch, cut off from the inside and outside, no matter how hard they try, they will be useless, and they will not be able to fly!

In this way, the Holy Majesty will seize the opportunity, and everything is within the palm of his hand.

In the past, because there was no explanation, the prince could not be imprisoned easily.Today, the king of Gaoyang County commits the crime of killing people first, and the crime is serious. Based on this, it is a matter of course, and he wants to sleep and send a pillow. "

After Qi Tai finished speaking, he took another breath and looked slightly puzzled, "However, Duke Wei and King Yan are in-laws, but I am very surprised that Duke Wei and King Yan came up with such a cruel strategy."

At this moment, Huang Zicheng said calmly: "Will the Guild of Wei use this bitter trick to test it?"

Qi Tai looked at him suspiciously: "How do you say that?"

Huang Zicheng talked eloquently: "In the current situation, the King of Yan must have some suspicions, but he is not sure. At this time, if the prince of the King of Yan is moved according to Wei Guogong's plan, wouldn't it be a surprise, and confirm the court's intention to deal with the King of Yan? Sister, it’s King Yan’s first wife..."

When Emperor Zhu Yunwen heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "There is some truth to it, we must pay attention to it."

Qi Tai immediately said again: "I have objections. The Duke of Wei is the eldest son of Xu. He is the son of Xu's family, and he owes all to the grace of the sage. If he ignores the prosperity of the family and runs counter to the imperial court, why bother?"

Zhu Yunwen, who was in the upper position, groaned after hearing this.

Qi Tai immediately saw some signs.He thought in his heart that the Holy Majesty accepted advice like a stream, and he was able to listen to other people's suggestions; both he and Huang Zicheng were ministers who strongly advocated the reduction of feudal vassals, although their words were effective, but Huang Zicheng was more trusted in comparison.

At the beginning, both Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng advocated cutting down the vassals. In terms of specific strategies, Qi Tai advocated capturing the thief first and then capturing the king, and suddenly took the most powerful King Yan as the sword; Zhou, Qi, Xiang, Dai and other kings began.In the end, the Holy Majesty adopted Huang Zicheng's proposition.

And Qi Tai's opinion of Huang Zicheng is that he is a little selfish, good at power, and heavy on party members.

After thinking about it, Qi Tai changed his tone and said: "My sage Jinkou Yuyan, the decree to arrest Du and Wang should not be changed lightly. The minister said, and then blame the Gaoyang County King for breaking the law, order him to restrain himself, and contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors."

Huang Zicheng also immediately said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Zhu Yunzheng thought for a while, then nodded and said: "As you and others have invited."

... At dusk that day, there was a sudden commotion in Shizi's mansion, which was mixed with the footsteps of armored soldiers. The orderly and rhythmic sound made the atmosphere even more tense.

Zhu Gaoxu and Gao Sui supported the eldest son who was walking unsteadily, and came to the entrance of the courtyard, seeing many soldiers blocking the entrance, and it was in a hurry.The crown prince shouted, "What are you doing?"

A guard general in brocade clothes came over, saluted, clasped his fists and said, "The king of Gaoyang County beat the court officials to death in the street, and there are many people who impeached him. The emperor decreed that from today onwards, the king of Gaoyang County and others should close their doors and think about their mistakes. When you leave the mansion, you are not allowed to communicate with outsiders without authorization."

Gao Sui shouted angrily: "We are the clan, not prisoners!"

The general of Jin Yiwei said: "Don't blame the prince, the last general is only following orders. If you have something to say, it's okay to write a letter, and the last general will send it to the palace."

"Hmph!" Shizi made an accent from his nose to show his dissatisfaction, and turned around to leave.

Zhu Gaoxu's chest felt tight, but he didn't say a word... In this situation, Jin Yiwei's sacred order, no matter how much you shout, no one will pay attention!

The three of them returned to the inner house sullenly, and the prince glanced at Zhu Gaoxu: "It's all right now!"

Gao Sui hurriedly asked: "Second brother was still confident yesterday, has he already thought of a solution?"

Zhu Gaoxu said helplessly: "Jin Yiwei, officers and soldiers are surrounded by imperial edicts, and we are squatting in this tiny place, what can we do now?"

"This..." Gao Sui's face was very ugly, full of complaints.

The prince raised his arm at this time and said: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, we brothers can't fight each other, we should work together to tide over the difficulties together. If the Holy Majesty wants to imprison us, we can always find a reason, and we can't complain too much. On the second brother."

"There has to be a way." Gao Sui looked anxious.

The prince said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. Many things are like this. Who is smarter than the other, and who can figure it out? The world is unpredictable. Don't people always take one step at a time?"

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "What the second brother said yesterday still has some truth. If it weren't for someone in the court who wanted to take our brother as a hostage and threaten the father, how could there be two imperial decrees within half a day?

We can figure out these things, can outsiders not understand?Take it easy, you two, wait and see. "

Waiting is the most depressing.The days of desperation have arrived, and after waiting for more than half a month, there is still no end in sight.Shizi Mansion is almost airtight, and everyone is isolated from the world.

……

One evening, Huang Zicheng was off duty and returned home.Madam came into the room, and personally waited for him to change his official uniform and hat, and said in a casual tone: "Did the Yamen catch those two criminals?"

Huang Zicheng was immediately displeased.

The madam hurriedly said: "People from my hometown come to ask, so I have to bother to ask my husband."

Huang Zicheng said earnestly: "A woman's view is that she only thinks about someone's death, and it's not them who did it!"

Madam said cautiously: "The king of Gaoyang County is a clan, isn't it impossible to let him take his life?"

Huang Zicheng said: "Zhu Gaoxu's defeat has been crushing now, it's much worse than the death of two pawns! The members of the Xu family don't have to hold back, one life, and the princes of King Yan are imprisoned, what will happen?"

Madam could only nod her head in agreement, not daring to contradict her.

Huang Zicheng kicked off the boots on his feet, and showed a little complacent expression after thinking about it, "Not long ago, King Yan pretended to be sick in the mansion in order to save his three sons. However, we also have a secret job in Beiping, where King Yan pretended to be sick. Returning to the capital closely, the Holy Majesty finally saw through King Yan's trick."

Madam hurriedly said: "Fortunately, I saw it through, otherwise the Holy Majesty would really not be able to refuse. The father is sick and the son is filial, and there is nothing wrong with asking the son to be filial in front of the bed."

"Of course." Huang Zicheng said with a smile, "Deng Yong, the envoy of Yan came to court that day, probably said the same thing. But it's useless, Gaoyang County King and others are still locked in the Shizi Mansion, and a large number of people are watching, it's hard to fly!"

Huang Zicheng was probably in a good mood tonight, and he talked a little more, "These vassal kings and clans have always violated the law and committed crimes. People like Gaoyang County King, compared with Zhou, Qi, Xiang, and Dai kings who were deposed as common people, How much better? The old man will wait and see what other tricks he can come up with!"

Chapter 8 Temptation and Suspicion

In a daze, "Liu Gang" saw his mother who was crying and cursing, and his scalp felt numb and his mind went blank, as if he shouldn't stay in any place in this world.

Indulging in gambling | will face such a situation sooner or later.He has "confessed" many times, admitted his mistakes, and changed his past. His credit must be completely bankrupt, and even his own mother doesn't believe him anymore.

He woke up suddenly!

He sat with his eyes wide open for a while.Seeing the antique carved windows, and hearing someone beside him saying, "Why is the second brother sleeping here?", he gradually recovered and remembered that he was already Zhu Gaoxu, in the Ming Dynasty.

And the person who spoke just now was the third brother Gao Sui.Gao Sui looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face, "Second Brother, is he dreaming?"

Even in his dream, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to harm the people around him, he also wanted to be kind to his relatives and get approval, but he had no money and went the wrong way.

Zhu Gaoxu's chest was "thumping" and his mood was in chaos... He couldn't help sighing a little secretly: Perhaps the original sin of a man is poverty and powerlessness, and often harbors desire.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, what he owns is very important.Keep everything you have!This desire became stronger and stronger.

Gao Sui's voice said again: "Brother is sick!"

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, stood up from the bamboo couch, turned his head to look at Gao Sui, "Brother has always been in poor health."

Gao Sui frowned and said, "But this time it's not light, it's like an emergency, throwing up and crying out in pain, and there are many red bumps the size of sesame seeds growing on my body! I need to find a doctor to see."
