When a man is born, he is naturally good.Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart... Lang Lang's reading sounds are heard in the Wenlou of the Hanwang Mansion.
Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and saw a large group of young and strong men reciting primary school. He thought the scene was indeed a bit strange.
However, this strange thing was caused by himself. The soldiers from the Royal House Guardians and the Royal House Guards came to study.
Zhu Gaoxu found that more than half of these men could not read. How could they use them to illiterate?
In the lobby of the Ming and Jingwen Building, there were originally a place where elegant Confucian scholars talked about scriptures and classics, but now there were two or three hundred rough men sitting upright.
Hou Hai, who was teaching, was studying in the crowd while paced.
Hou Hai was the first to see Zhu Gaoxu, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, and bowed: Pay a visit to the prince.
Wang Bin, who was sitting in the innermost part, turned around and looked at it, and stood up first. A group of men stood up almost at the same time, turned around and saluted at the door with their fists.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: No, you guys continue, I just passed by and took a look.
After saying that, he left the gate of the Wenlou Building. Qian Xun, the chief minister next to him, said calmly: The prince asked the martial artist to study in the Wenlou Building. If it spread, the scholars in the world would definitely criticize the prince for valuing martial arts and over literature and insulting his culture.The prince must observe it.
Well... Zhu Gaoxu made an unanimous voice.It took a moment to realize that his tone and posture seemed to be similar to when his father made this sound.
The right way is that those who are close to the red are red and those who are close to the ink are black. Unconsciously, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have learned some things from his father unconsciously.
Qian Xun said nothing, and the two walked around the street in the front hall of the palace. Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused and lowered his head and was thinking silently.
He was thinking that Mu Sheng could also be regarded as the relationship between his father, prince, Mu Sheng and him.
As for Emperor Jianwen, that was not the person Zhu Gaoxu valued the most.What kills him the most now is the contradictions within the King Yàn system, and the old Jianwen Party is irrelevant.
...First of all, Zhu Gaoxu's own long-term plans have never changed.
That is: when one day someone threatens his and his family’s safety, he will directly rebel!
I would never want to sit and wait for death like the King of Han in history, waiting for others to smear him as a black-faced thief.
However, it doesn’t matter whether you want to rebel or not, whether you have strength is the key.As long as you have the strength, your opponent will lose his skin even if he doesn’t die. Don’t think so easy!
Then, he just wanted to find a way to gain strength.
He had been doing this for a long time, and he had hidden several of the most capable generals of the Jianwen Dynasty, which was the only thing he had taken the risk under the eyes of his father and could accumulate strength.
Now that Zhu Gaoxu has arrived in Yunnan, even if someone monitors him, he is still far away and has many things to do.He is a newcomer and currently believes that Mu Sheng is the most important thing in Yunnan.
...There are two most favorable consequences for Zhu Gaoxu: either get rid of the Mu Mansion, which will dominate Yunnan; or win over the Mu Mansion and become his helper.
To achieve the former result, the princelings will not sit idly by, and the father will feel pressured. There is also a side effect. The Mu Mansion has a high prestige among Yunnan chieftains. Without the Mu Mansion, the Yunnan chieftains may lose control for a while.
But the latter is more difficult.
After Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yunnan, he never saw Mu Sheng and he thought about this person every day.
He felt that Mu Sheng was unlikely to directly raise an army to resist the court, unless Mu Sheng felt the catastrophe and wanted to kill him.
Otherwise, the risk of rebellion in Mu's mansion is too high and the benefits are too low. Mu Sheng is already the uncrowned king in Yunnan. Besides being the emperor, what else can prompt him to raise an army?
Zhu Gaoxu had no idea at the moment. He wanted to open up the situation in Yunnan first and take a look at it one step at a time.
……
Geng Hao is the grandson of Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, and the son of Geng Qi.
A few days ago, people from Mu's mansion were looking for thousands of years of Korean ginseng everywhere in the city, and they heard that Musheng, Hou of Xiping, was sick.Yesterday, Geng Hao had something happened in the Liyuan area and didn’t see his cousin Mu Zhen, so he went to buy Korean ginseng.
Early this morning, Geng Hao was preparing to go to Mu Mansion with Korean ginseng.
The old man who set up a street stall to sell Korean ginseng said that although this ginseng does not have a thousand or a hundred years, it can also treat diseases that can be cured by a thousand-year-old ginseng and a hundred-year-old ginseng.Geng Hao spent a total of five stagnants of money for this!
Geng Hao found a red satin women's clothes in the manor house that Mu Mansion gave them, and everywhere, and then used scissors to cut out a piece of red silk, put it in a carved wooden box, and then carefully placed the ginseng inside and closed the carved wooden box.
He placed the wooden box on the table, put on a deep dress with a black white background, then carefully tied his hair in front of the bronze mirror, pressed his slender fingers on his hair, and picked up the Confucian scarf and put it on.
With a light swing of his head back, the two straps of the Confucian scarf floated behind.
He turned his head left and right to the bronze mirror, looked at his pretty face in the mirror, and looked at his outfit from all angles.
Then Geng Hao picked up a jade pendant and hung it on his waist, hung it on his purse, and then picked up three neatly folded white handkerchiefs and placed them in two sleeve bags.
Finally, he picked up a paper fan and a wooden box and walked out of the door.
There were also hoes, bamboo bags and other farm tools in the yard. Geng Hao had never touched them before, and frowned when he looked at them.
He used to be the grandson of the marquis, but now it would be a joke if he wanted to mingle with the tenants of Mud-legged children!
He asked a carriage to take him to Yunnan Prefecture City, and Geng Hao walked to Mu Prefecture.
Come from the north of the city and go to the main entrance to the south of Mu Mansion, and you have to pass a slightly gloomy street.
Old banyan trees are planted in the yards on both sides of the road, and the canopy is like an umbrella, covering the sky.
When people walk through this street, it is like walking through a cave. The road is obviously a bit narrow.
Knocking on the corner door next to the Mu Mansion, Geng Hao reported the name and was led to an inverted room by the door.Then no one paid attention to him for a long time.
After waiting for an estimated stick of incense, the butler of Mu's mansion came over.
Geng Hao stood up and said, "I heard that my cousin was ill and got another old ginseng, so he came to visit my cousin and told him, butler Qingmu.After Geng Hao said that, he opened the wooden box.
The official family only took a look and said: Mr. Geng, don’t be so polite. The marquis’ illness cannot be treated as old ginseng. The young master’s wishes are appreciated and we dare not accept them.
Geng Hao frowned: Do you think Butler Mu is giving a gift to you?
Oh, no one dares!The official waved his hand and said, "It was because the marquis was sick and could not visit him." The doctor said he was afraid of being infected with others."If you can't let Mr. Geng see the Marquis, you won't dare to accept this gift.
Geng Hao said: I'm here for the third time this month, just want to see my cousin.
The official family said with a bitter face: I really can't see you, why don't Mr. Geng wait at home for ten days first?When the marquis recovered from illness, the marquis's mansion decided to send someone to invite the young master.
Geng Hao thought for a while and said: Then I want to meet my aunt.
After hearing this, the official thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Young Master, wait a moment, the younger one will go to report to the old lady."
Geng Hao nodded.
Seeing the request of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, she finally got the approval.The old lady is Mu Sheng's biological mother, but she is also the sister of Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, and she still has feelings for the Geng family.
When Geng Hao saw his aunt, he saw that although her hair was gray, her face was rosy and her complexion looked very good.He immediately stepped forward and kowtowed to say hello.
OK, OK!Hao'er, get up quickly.The old lady helped Geng Hao up and immediately asked kindly, "Is your parents' body okay?"
Geng Hao hurriedly said: Thank you for your good fortune, my father can still work in the fields.
He said this to mean that he was not doing well and he had to take the servants in the mansion to farm himself. Unexpectedly, the old lady actually said with relief: That's good, okay.I asked your cousin to allocate the manor, fields, and some oxen households, just to think that you can take root in Yunnan and live a good life here.Like your uncles... Alas!
Geng Hao said: Auntie, I heard from my father that uncles are still officials in the capital?
The old lady nodded slightly and showed a very reluctant smile.
Geng Hao's face suddenly turned red, and he finally said: I have been married to my cousin since I was a child. Now I am here in Yunnan and I am close to you. I don't know about this...
The old lady immediately interrupted Geng Hao with a smile and scolded. The hand, which had a few age spots on the back of her hand, hit Geng Hao's palm, you kid!Of course, your parents and your cousin need to discuss this kind of thing. How can you run away and say it yourself, don’t make people laugh at me!
The aunt seemed to have played Tai Chi, but Geng Hao couldn't say anything... Now the Geng family can't even see the face of the Xiping Hou, how can we discuss?
Moreover, Geng Hao’s parents once said, don’t mention that matter!
Didn’t Geng Hao run away and say it by himself?
So Geng Hao said directly: My father said casually that he would not mention that matter, but I thought it was inappropriate.When I was a child, my cousin was in the capital and I was childhood sweethearted with my younger generation, but I really couldn't let go. Besides, I had a engagement, how could our Geng family not recognize me?
When the old lady heard the second half of the sentence, her face looked a little ugly and said earnestly: Hao'er, how can she not listen to her parents?If you are in Yunnan, just study with peace of mind and talk about it when you grow up.
Geng Hao was dissatisfied. It was obvious that the Mu family saw that the Geng family was in decline and wanted to regret the marriage, but now they were going to fall on the Geng family?
Geng Hao held back the unpleasantness in his heart, reached out and touched his nose, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and clasped his fists and said: Obey the order, I will definitely do something to glorify the Geng family’s lintel!
The old lady had many wrinkles on her face, but her eyes were very bright. Her eyes stayed on Geng Hao's face for a while, and she sighed slightly: Hao'er, my aunt is old, I just want to see you juniors, all of them are safe and stable, free from illness, pain, disaster, and difficulty.
After she said that, she stood up with a dragon-purple wooden stick, and the maids next to her hurriedly supported her.The old lady said: My aunt has been talking for a long time now, so she has to close her eyes and rest as she wants to rest.
Geng Hao had no choice but to bow and say: My aunt should take care of her health, so I won’t disturb you.
The old lady turned around and said: I'll ask Butler Mu to prepare lunch for you, and leave after dinner.
The younger generation will stop eating and will come to visit my aunt again the next day.Geng Hao said.
