Chapter 446 The lion opens his mouth

Xu Tao then presented a letter brought by Zhang He, which was written by Lu Zhen, the Minister of Justice, and was signed and signed.

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu mention the words "Waiter", Zhang He bowed: This is what Lu Butang means.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the letter paper and said directly: This matter is a must-have transaction.However, if the elder brother wants to exchange Guo Zi, in addition to Qian Xun, the left chief of the Han Palace, he also has to send all the families of Sheng Yong and Ping'an families.

There was no surprise on Zhang He's face when Zhu Gaoxu spoke loudly.

When the court started this transaction, the officials might have a clear idea: the chief secretary Qian Xun and the minister of the Ministry of Revenue Guo Zi were not at the same level at all, so it was reasonable to add the word "Wait for one person"; and it is possible to guess who Zhu Gaoxu needs.

Zhang He quickly replied: The King of Han wants too many people.If Ping'an or Sheng Yong's family can only choose one family, this matter can be discussed.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his eyes looked back and forth on Zhang He's face several times.

He suddenly felt some kind of malice!

Zhang He, a chief official, definitely didn't count. His proposal of this condition may be the intention of someone in the court. Is this intentional?!

If Sheng Yong and Ping'an's family can only choose one, who will Zhu Gaoxu choose?No matter who your family is chosen, it is not conducive to the relationship within the Han Dynasty's palace. The so-called unfair treatment of a bowl of water is unfair.

Both families want it.Zhu Gaoxu repeated.

Zhang He said: The officials cannot decide on this matter. If the King of Han can convince the officials, the court will not agree to such an unfair thing.The road from the capital to Yunnan was inconvenient and it took quite a while to travel. The King of Han asked the decision to make the decision properly to avoid any trouble.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was even more sure that the person who came up with this idea had bad intentions!This matter was planned.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu often cared about other people's malice and kindness.

This is how a malicious person is. Even if it is useless to keep Sheng Yong’s safe family, as long as it can make Zhu Gaoxu unhappy, he will be happy!

But if you are a person who has no grudges, you usually only think about your own interests and do not care about other people's gains and losses; if you are kind-hearted, you are willing to try your best to protect the other party's benefits...

When Xu Tao and Zhang He and others arrived at the Han Palace, it was almost noon.

It was noon at this time, but the discussion was temporarily deadlocked.

Zhu Gaoxu then said: General Xu and Zhang went to have lunch in advance and discuss it in the afternoon.

Zhang He bowed and said: I hope His Highness, after he thought it through, he would tell the officials.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.

The eunuch Wang Gui made a gesture and said, please come here.

The study in the front hall is very spacious, and the eunuchs and palace maids brought the food prepared in the kitchen here.Zhu Gaoxu then made do with lunch in the study.

At this time, Mr. Li went outside the door to ask for a meeting.Zhu Gaoxu exchanged a few greetings and Mr. Li had already had a meal.He then talked about Xu Tao and Zhang He and others about it for a while with Mr. Li.

Soon, General Sheng Yongping'an and Hou Hai, the right chief of the royal palace, also came to the study room of the front hall.Zhu Gaoxu was full, and stood up with his hands slapped his thighs, walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down to have tea.

The matter of exchanging hostages cannot be hidden from the general.So Zhu Gaoxu was also very happy and asked Mr. Li to tell Sheng Yong that he was safe.

Several people were talking in the study, but only Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. While drinking tea, he buried his head at the water with the tea leaves floating, thinking about something.

Ping'an's voice was loud. Even if Zhu Gaoxu didn't deliberately listen to what he said, Ping'an's voice still came to his ears clearly: My family and the royal family are relatives, and the pseudo-emperor must have a good reputation, so that he will not deny his relatives and kill my whole family! I think this matter will be replaced by Brother Sheng’s family. My family first asked the pseudo-emperor to keep them delicious food and drink.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and saw Sheng Yong's calm face gradually moved.

Hou Hai faced Zhu Gaoxu and said in a deep voice: The head of the company, Zhang, did not eat the punishment, ask the prince to order him, and the subordinate arrested him and tortured him!

At this time, Wang Gui walked into the study and Zhu Gaoxu said: Wang Gui, go and call Master Zhang and General Xu over.

Slave obeys the order.

After Zhang He and Xu Tao arrived, the discussion began again.

There were a few more people in the room now. Zhang He looked back and recognized Ping An, and even went up to greet him.

Ping An is big and thick, and on his arms, as thick as his thighs, his muscles are about to burst out his robe. He has a special appearance and is very easy to recognize.

His Highness the King of Han.Zhang He stepped forward and bowed, and his tone seemed to be asking.

Zhu Gaoxu and this strange civil servant had nothing to say, and he said directly: I have changed my mind.

Zhang He raised his head and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: I am willing to hear the details.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Qian Changshi, as well as Ping'an and Sheng Yong's families, all wanted it!Four more people are needed, Guo Ming’s wife Xu, son Guo Cong and Guo Xuan, and Empress Jianwen Ma.

What? Zhang He looked unbelievable and suddenly felt a little out of character in shock. He calmed down after a while, took a deep breath and said: What the King of Han meant is that he didn't want to replace people with the court?

The others in the room were a little surprised and looked at Zhu Gaoxu in a sideways manner.

Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: Of course I want to change, so I didn’t make excessive demands.

Zhang He shook his head and said: The Guo family has been convicted of the enemy.If the Ma family leaves Fengyang, it will lose its royal tradition.Not an exaggeration?

Zhu Gaoxu said: As long as the head of the army, as long as the king’s letter is brought back to the court, if the court does not want to, then forget it!By the way... He waved, and Master Zhang came closer.

Zhang He walked to the front of the desk, Zhu Gaoxu leaned close to him and whispered: You have another message to my elder brother, Guo Zi has confessed, and my father was killed and poisoned!I have freed up my hands now and will continue to interrogate him and must find out the truth.

Ah?Zhang He was stunned, his eyes wide open, impossible!

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: I just said, you just need to bring the message back.

Zhang He had no choice but to bow helplessly and couldn't speak.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Xu Tao: General Xu, I’m leaving the matter to you.The king's meaning is very clear. If you take him back to Sichuan Dusi, the matter will be handled by the full authority of the Xiping Hou.

Xu Tao clasped his fists and said: The last general is ordered.

Zhang He suddenly showed disappointment and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with some recession.

The right chief Hou Hai, who was standing next to him, also gave Zhu Gaoxu a wink.Zhu Gaoxu pretended not to know, Hou Hai couldn't hold back his anger and finally said: "Your Majesty let Zhang He go like this?"

Zhang He also seemed to have such an intention, standing there waiting silently.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhang He, his face showed a sneer that was not easy to be noticed, and he thought to himself: I won’t let you go like this, I really want to ask you how you separated from Mu Sheng and me?

What if you ask the inside story?Should I arrest Mu Sheng or tell Mu Sheng in a superfluous way: I really don’t suspect you!

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to Hou Hai and said seriously: Two armies are fighting, but the envoys will not be killed. If the elder brother realizes that he is wrong and wants to send someone to surrender, we can also discuss it.Besides, if you don’t let Zhang He go now, how can you trade?Sichuan is close to Huguang, so it is just right to ask Xiping Hou to do this.

Zhang He wanted to speak but stopped, but he never spoke... If he took the initiative to tell the King of Han in front of Xu Tao without interrogation; Mu Sheng was not stupid, how could he not know what the court meant?

Xu Tao presented a copy of the file in his hand with both hands, and the Marquis of Xiping sent the last general to present the item to the King of Han.The last general's errand was done, so please say goodbye. Ke Ri went north to Sichuan to report to the Marquis of Xiping.

Zhang He also bowed frustratedly: The lower official, thanking King Han, for tolerance, say goodbye!

OK, I won't give it away.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Hou Hai walked up and took the file.

Wait for Wang Gui to take the guests out.

Zhu Gaoxu said to the confused people: A few days ago, a servant in charge of the princess's family escaped to Kunming.When he met the princess, he reported that the Guo family was raided and imprisoned for being framed.One thing mentioned is that Guo Ming had obtained a silver ring snake, and then sent the snake gallbladder into the palace to treat convulsions in Zhan'an children.Not long after, my father died, and the silver ring snake was highly venomous. His wife Xu was afraid of being implicated and once advised Guo Ming to escape.Guo Ming did not obey, which shows that this matter should not be related to him.

Zhu Gaoxu changed his breath and continued: I guess from this that my father might be corrupted by poisoning. Such associations are indeed far-fetched, so I have never been sure of it.But today I think again: My father is in his prime and is in good health. He suddenly dies in an unknown way, and it seems very likely that he is poisoned.I decided to deceive the fake emperor!

During the Jianwen Dynasty, Guo Zi assisted my elder brother in guarding Peiping, and had a close relationship for several years.

When Emperor Taizong was in power, Guo Zi must have been a clerk in the Eastern Palace and spoke to my elder brother many times in the court.

Last year I was in the palace, and Guo Zi also designed to harm me!

This person participated in the conspiracy of the East Palace throughout the whole process and knew a lot of things.

If the guess is correct, my elder brother will believe it and think that Guo Zi leaked the secret; in order not to let Guo Zi say more, my elder brother will definitely be willing to pay a certain price.

If I guess wrong, then we will send someone to continue talking to the court.

We are not afraid of delaying time. The biggest secret of the Han Palace is that we once secretly hid all the generals. Now it is known to everyone in the world that what can Qian Xun give?

Mr. Li nodded and said: So that's it!The prince knew the little things and admired him.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Some people in the court want to alienate our brothers!It’s impolite to come but not go. I won’t beat him up?

Sheng Yong said: Prince, can’t Mu Sheng from Sichuan let Guo Zi confess first?

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: It's very difficult, unless it is tortured and forced to confess.I have also weighed it. Guo Zi has great prestige in Shilin. If he tortures him to death, I am afraid that those landlords and scholars will be very afraid of me, which will not help occupying the territory.What's more, having a testimony that forced Guo Zi to confess, it cannot win the trust of the world. It's just that the two sides are asking people to write articles and scold each other.In the end, the true story will be seen on the battlefield!
