Hu Guang was famous not only because of the pig's joke, but also because he was the top scholar appointed by the emperor during the Jianwen period.
Zhu Gaoxu had never met him before, but his first impression today was very good. He did not find Hu Guang's greed for life and fear of death. On the contrary, the middle-aged civil servant in his thirties in front of him was simply a handsome talent.
Hu Guang is tall, has a very upright face, has a pleasing facial features, is elegant and elegant, speaks very modestly and decently, and looks very fond of people.
When Emperor Jianwen chose him as the top scholar, there may be this reason. When he was an official in the Ming Dynasty, his appearance and demeanor were still very important.
Zhu Gaoxu asked him to sit down, but he politely refused twice before he sat down on the chair on the side of the seat.
Hu Guangdao: Before leaving the capital, he went to the palace to meet the saint.This time he came to pay homage to His Highness the King of Han and wanted to pass on two words from the emperor... After saying that, he raised his head and looked across the faces of the eunuchs, Wang Gui and others.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had a new view of Hu Guang, thinking that the top scholar seemed to be a cautious person.
Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and waved it gently, and Wang Gui and others said goodbye.Then Zhu Gaoxu stood up and said: Please come to the top to announce the imperial edict.
Hu Guang also quickly stood up and waved his hand and said: No, no.The emperor means that he just asks the lower official to ask a few questions in private.
He looked back at the open doors and windows of the hall, and then bowed: The person Hu Yi found in Dali Prefecture, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue... The first thing the emperor wanted to ask the King of Han was, how much does that person think has to do with the Queen of Xiping?
Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned. Almost in a moment, he suddenly realized something: Mu Sheng would not have anything to do, at least nothing will happen now!
It was very simple for him to make such a judgment... If the emperor had made up his mind to move the Mu Mansion, would he still need to ask such a thing?
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while and said: It’s not convenient to talk here, let’s talk about it in another place?
Hu Guang bowed and said: The emperor has all listened to the arrangements of Your Highness.
The two then walked out of the door on the east side of Chengyun Hall.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw Chen Dahui outside the hall, he waved to him to come.
Zhu Gaoxu approached Chen Dachui and whispered a few words, deliberately saying the first sentence a little louder: Go and take a look at the small courtyard behind the study, don’t have any idle people waiting...
Then he leaned closer to Chen Dachui's ear, covered it gently with his palm, and said in the least voice: Arrange Miss Mu to the ear room of that room, just like what I did last time.
Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said: I will do it immediately.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Hu Guang and said politely: Please, please come from the Hu Gechen.
Please, Your Highness.Hu Guang's attitude was also very humble.
The two of them walked along the brick and stone floor toward the corridor to the east.
Hu Guang did not dare to walk side by side with Zhu Gaoxu, and his position was slightly behind.
Therefore, you have to turn your head to talk to Hu Guang and Zhu Gaoxu; he didn't say much, just said it in a mess, so as not to be too awkward in the atmosphere on the road.
Hu Yi, the director of the Ministry of Revenue, is still in Dali Prefecture. Will Hu Gechen go to Dali to meet him?Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.
Hu Guang replied: The Xiaguan left the capital this time and traveled with the imperial envoys, but the Xiaguan did not go to Annan Kingdom and would have to get up and go to Dali in a day or two.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: When Hu Gechen was going to Dali, I would like to inform the King of Han, the Chief Secretary’s Mansion, and I asked them to send a team of men to escort Hu Gechen.
Hu Guangdao: Thank you, Your Highness, King of Han.
Perhaps because Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything that embarrassed Hu Guang, such as being optimistic about pigs, and was very polite to him, Hu Guang said a few more words: When it comes to the official's itinerary, first meet His Royal Highness the King of Han in Kunming City, then go to Dali, and then return to Beijing after finishing the work.However, after the officials went to Dali Prefecture, there should be several ministers who would go to Yunnan later; after they were confirmed, they would be responsible for sending the coffin to the capital.
I see.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
... Zhu Gaoxu knew how much his father Zhu Di cared about the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen.
Mu Sheng dared to hide Emperor Jianwen, which was obviously touching Zhu Di's reverse scale!
Now that things have come to this, can Mu Sheng survive?
Zhu Gaoxu was also a little surprised at first.
However, this matter is unexpected, but it seems to make sense.
Zhu Gaoxu was often speculating on the holy heart of his father Zhu Di. At this time, he was still guessing Zhu Di's thoughts on the road...
It was already fifteen years since the Ming Dynasty's power arrived in Yunnan; the Ming Dynasty's real barely controlled the situation in Yunnan even after the twenty years of Hongwu.
At this time, the Han forces could not have an absolute advantage over Yunnan and the surrounding borders.
If we start from the perspective of maintaining the overall situation of the dynasty, it is obviously not beneficial to eradicate the power of the Mu Mansion at this time.
Moreover, as soon as the Mu Mansion in Yunnan fell, Zhu Gaoxu would definitely control the whole province and surrounding areas, and the balance of power in Yunnan would soon overturn... Zhu Gaoxu had thought of this before, thinking that the court might use some method to rebalance this distant territory.
Now it seems that as long as Zhu Di stays in the Mu Mansion for the time being, it is the easiest way.
What's more, Emperor Jianwen is already dead, and Mu Sheng's infidelity has caused more than half of the hidden dangers to Zhu Di.
However, by chance, Zhu Gaoxu could not help but speculate: If Jianwen did not die but ran away, would Zhu Di's attitude towards Mu Sheng be different?
...But these are all just Zhu Gaoxu's own speculations. Maybe he guessed it right, maybe Zhu Di's thoughts are deeper.Unable to verify Ah!
In Zhu Gaoxu's heart, his father Zhu Di was a very cruel person.
Zhu Di killed so much and did so many bloody things, but he was not a tyrant. Perhaps this is the reason: when it was necessary to compromise, Zhu Di could tolerate anything!
Back then in Peking, Zhu Di pretended to be a madman and cried and laughed on the street, and fell to the ground.As the son of Taizu, he could do anything like that, and even Zhu Gaoxu was convinced of him!
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and Hu Guang were about to reach the corridor on the east side. Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and whispered: I am not afraid of saying anything Hu Gechen asked me in the front hall.It must be done by the Marquis of Xiping to hide Jianwen!
Hu Guang's expression frightened and nodded quickly and said, "The official understands."The King of Han was in Yunnan and must have known the truth.
They passed through the clamping channel and soon arrived at the room where they met Duan Yang and Duan Xuehen last time.
Zhu Gaoxu walked in first and observed in Yu Guangli that the door of the ear room was blocked by a wooden shelf with porcelain decorations.
This wooden shelf is really confusing.Because the wooden frame is not high or large; but the door opened by the ear room is also low, just as the door can be covered by the wooden frame.
Hu Gechen asked to sit down.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Hu Guang walked into the door and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Han."
Zhu Gaoxu asked: Is Hu Gechen the Grand Secretary of Youchunfang?
Hu Guang hurriedly said: The emperor was granted the title of the Right Son of Youchunfang by the emperor not long ago and entered the cabinet.The lower officials and others serve the emperor, check for omissions and make up for the emperor's shortcomings, often answer the emperor's questions, and are not responsible for the practice.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I think that if there is no prime minister in our Ming Dynasty, the real power of the cabinet may be very large in the future.
They are all for the sake of the emperor and the subordinates, and they dare not be greedy for power.Although there seemed to be no one else here, Hu Guang still responded carefully to Zhu Gaoxu.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu asked directly: This time, Hu Gechen went to Yunnan, one to verify the integrity of Emperor Jianwen, and the other to ask for my father. Is that true?
Hu Guang pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and said: Go back to His Highness, that's right.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and did not continue to say a word, waiting for Hu Guang to continue asking questions.
Sure enough, Hu Guang said: The emperor asked again, the King of Han thought, how to deal with the Xiping Hou is the most appropriate?
Zhu Gaoxu said: My father is very insightful and has a high perspective and masters the overall situation of the world. I am afraid my knowledge is difficult to reach, and everything is decided by the father.
Hu Guangdao: Of course, the saints must be judged by this matter, but since the saints want to ask the King of Han, the King of Han can only tell you what you think.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: I think it's better not to move Mu's mansion.
oh?Hu Guang was slightly surprised, and then bowed and said, "I am willing to hear the details."
Zhu Gaoxu said: The princes of the Ming Dynasty and the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty are different. We must fulfill our filial piety to our father and be kind and protected by our father.
What's more, in this far southwest border, I don't want to stay here forever.My father promised me that he would change me a better fiefdom in the future.
There are barbarian rebellions everywhere in Yunnan. When I change my fiefdom, who will take charge of Yunnan?I thought about my personal grudges with Mu Sheng, as long as I change my fiefdom in the future, there will be no connection between them; and for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty border, it will be more appropriate to stay in Yunnan. After all, the Mu family has more foundation and prestige in the hearts of all barbarians.
After hearing this, Hu Guang bowed and said, "The emperor understands it. After returning to the court, he will definitely report to the emperor the King of Han's intentions.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Hu Gechen went back and told my father that his son was granted the title of Yunnan. He just wanted the ground in Yunnan to be peaceful and stayed here to show off his good behavior and dare not cause trouble.When I can seal a good place in the future, I want to choose one in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. In fact, Peking is not bad, I grew up there, but unfortunately I was occupied by my third brother.
Hu Guang hurriedly clasped his fists and said: This... the lower official only needs to tell the emperor.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu said again: To be honest, before I arrived in Yunnan, I received the secret order of my father.My father asked me to pursue the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, and I never dared to forget it.Later, Hu Yi first found out the traces of Emperor Jianwen. Of course, I would like to help my father share his worries and would do my best to do this.
I did this, really not to deal with the Mu family. I have no grudges and grudges with him. What are I doing to deal with him? However, the Mu family is at risk of destruction. I am afraid that this is a forged person. No wonder I am...
Hu Guang nodded and said: The emperor should know that the Han king is loyal and filial, and knows the general mind.
Zhu Gaoxu sighed: I just want to go back to the mainland as soon as possible and leave this messy place.When Hu Gechen saw his father, don’t forget to ask him about the sages of the dragon body for me.
Hu Guang bowed and said: The officials dare not forget.
Zhu Gaoxu had never met him before, but his first impression today was very good. He did not find Hu Guang's greed for life and fear of death. On the contrary, the middle-aged civil servant in his thirties in front of him was simply a handsome talent.
