Chapter 5 Junyingcao

7days ago Historical fiction 7
The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu got up before dawn.The mansion was very quiet, covered with white mist, and the undead lanterns were light and dark, making them look very cold.

He met Du Qianrui outside a wing room.She wrung a floral cloth package in her hand, and hurriedly walked up to the front half and squatted as a salute. Unexpectedly, the prince got up so early, so I asked the prince for his well.

Where is Wang Gui?Zhu Gaoxu looked back.

Du Qianrui said: Eunuch Wang lives outside and asked me to clean up the room this morning and go to find him. I plan to go here.

So the two walked out of the corridor, walked out of a foyer, and walked to the front of the inverted room.

At this moment, a whisper suddenly came from behind the stable.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but turn around, walked to the corner of the wall without moving, and stood there for a while.

As we got closer, we heard a voice whispering: Do you know what King Xiang is doing?The whole family burned to death!

Why?Another voice said.

Some people say that it was the court that reduced the vassal powers, but I don’t think so. The vassal kings were very arrogant and were suddenly wronged by the officials. How could they bear it?

It's right. Judging from the domineering spirit of the Gaoyang County Prince here, he beat the imperial officials to death with one disagreement!

Without relying on King Yàn, how many days can this Prince Gaoyang be arrogant?hey-hey……

Zhu Gaoxu walked out without hesitation.The two of them turned their heads and looked at them, their faces suddenly as if dead, and they were stunned, like a wooden chicken, with only their legs trembling violently.

One of them was the first to plop and kneel down on the ground: Prince, please spare your life!

The other one hurriedly lie on the ground, kowtowing while begging for mercy.

Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: Spreading rumors and distracting the king and his subjects, have you lived enough?

I dare not, the young one dared not... The two of them had pale faces.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said: Get out!

Du Qianrui, who was standing beside her, looked surprised... Probably in her opinion, how could this prince who beat people to death easily let those two slaves go?

They continued to move forward, and Zhu Gaoxu looked back at Du Qianrui. This house belonged to the property of the Yàn Prince's Mansion, but there were no people in the house.After our brothers came to the capital, the court sent some people to take care of them. At this time, most of the mansions were not ours.

He paused and said, "It is useless to care about them."

Du Qianrui hurriedly said: The prince is generous and admirable.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said nothing.

At this time, he saw a few bouquets of white flowers blooming under the banana tree in the corner of the wall.

If you look closely, it turns out to be lily of the valley... It was a very common ornamental plant in later generations, but it is really rare now.

In ancient times, it seemed to be called Junyingcao, a plant in the deep mountains in the north.

Most of the people in the Yàn Palace are from the north, and I don’t know who got them to plant them in this yard.

He suddenly had an inspiration and said in a profound tone: Did Miss Du see the little flower in that corner?Junying grass, the flowers are small and difficult to be noticed. They also like to be in dark places, but they are poisonous all over their body!

Du Qianrui was indeed thoughtful when she heard it.

After a while, he saw Wang Gui, and Zhu Gaoxu gave a few instructions and watched them go out.They left at this time and once the city gate opened, they could leave the city immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu guessed that if Huang Zicheng was unwilling to give up on that matter, the best way was to sue the emperor.

The only one who can punish the vassal kings is probably the only emperor in the capital.If a prince breaks the law, he will not be punished with the common people; one of the ways to punish the prince is to attack the people around him.

...Two hours later, Zhu Gaoxu confirmed his guess.The fourth uncle Xu Zengshou came to the door and scolded Zhu Gaoxu almost as soon as lunch time. Xu Zengshou revealed the news at the dinner table.

Xu Zengshou was an elder of Zhu Gaoxu and others, but he was only in his twenties.He wore a colorful flower brocade robe, which not only looked young, but also frivolous.

After leaving the dining table, Xu Zengshou sat down on a chair of the Grand Master.

Three maids bowed and walked up to him, one holding a wooden plate, one holding a bowl of white water, and the other holding tea.

Xu Zengshou skillfully picked up the white porcelain bowl, took a sip of white water, raised his head and made a very exaggerated sound from his throat, and then spit it into the copper basin; then took the teacup, opened the lid and stroked the water surface.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at the opposite side and looked at the prince and others.

The prince waved his hand and drove the maids out of the hall.

After Xu Zengshou finished the trivial matters, his tone also eased. He stopped cursing and said: Gao Xu, I heard about this, probably because of a girl from Fuleyuan?I heard the whole story, you are unreasonable.In order to prepare for the banquet, Ambassador Xu went to the Fule House to select musical musicians and argued with you, and was beaten to death. Of course, that was just someone else's statement, and my uncle wanted to hear what you said.

At this time, the prince and Gao Sui also looked at Zhu Gaoxu sideways.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and found the focus of the contradiction. He did not fight for a singing girl, and of course the place to talk about was not in Fuleyuan.

So he roughly said how Ambassador Xu colluded with local officials and how he caused Du to become a singing girl.

Xu Zengshou's behavior was relatively vulgar when he was having a meal.But Xu Zengshou quickly showed his strengths and was willing to listen patiently to others.

After hearing this, Xu Zengshou pondered endlessly, or was thinking about the right and wrong of this matter.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: I have been to Fuleyuan two or three times, and I did nothing else, I just asked Miss Du to sing the song.She also speaks nicely, ups and downs, and graceful, but who knows that she is a person who has suffered from grievances?

Xu Zengshou glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said earnestly: No matter how many twists and turns there are, he is just a singing girl, so Gao Xu doesn't have to do this.He paused and said, "How do you bully men and women do evil things?" When the official you mentioned just now, you can write a letter or tell the emperor, don't mention it. Do you understand?"

Zhu Gaoxu was very grateful and immediately replied: I wish to listen to the teachings of my fourth uncle.

Xu Zengshou nodded and said: It’s useless to say those things. The emperor only recognizes that you have killed someone. How can you listen to so many twists and turns in the city and rural areas? Just admit your mistakes...

As soon as he finished speaking, a slave ran to the door and bent down and said: Report to the prince, Duke Wei is here!The servants dare not stop them, they are already welcomed!

Duke of Wei was the eldest son of his uncle Xu Huizu and Xu Da, and he inherited the title of Duke of Wei.

Hearing this, the expression on the face of the fourth uncle Xu Zengshou instantly became very rich.The prince immediately stood up and said, "Help me quickly and welcome my uncle."

Xu Zengshou stood up, looked at the back door in the room quietly, and said, I'll leave first.

The prince and others were stunned, and heard Xu Zengshou say, "I don't need to give it away, I'll spare the red tape."You go and pick up people... I don't need to mention what I have been here.After saying that, he left.

Zhu Gaoxu and Gao Sui had to support their elder brother together and chose to welcome their uncle Xu Huizu.

The prince muttered: In front of us, my uncle didn't set an example, and he didn't even see his own elder brother.

Gao Sui whispered: It’s not that the elder brother doesn’t know that the two uncles were not born to one mother… Our three brothers are the same mother.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt thoughtful and the prince glared at Gao Sui fiercely.

After a while, they met Xu Zuhui.

No wonder the servants dare not stop him... Xu Zuhui's face was full of anger and red face, which was very terrifying!

Moreover, he has a very burly figure and a square face. The serious vertical lines between his eyebrows seem to be the embodiment of truth and morality!

It is precisely because people are respectful and fearful that they cannot resist.

You are unfilial!Xu Zuhui was even more angry when he saw Zhu Gaoxu at first sight. He waved his hand and lifted up the sleeves of the gray cloth robe, and was about to rush over to take action!

At this moment, the prince choked and said: My second brother is young and ignorant. It’s all because of his brother’s failure to take good care of him. The first offender… He reached out and grabbed Zhu Gaoxu’s clothes and said in a deep voice, “Why don’t you admit your mistake to your uncle!”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything.

Xu Zuhui turned around and pointed at the old man who looked like a literati beside him and said: Take off the leather belt!

Zhu Gaoxu was shocked when he saw this and thought to himself whether he wanted to use a belt to suck me?!

The prince pleaded with mercy and said: "My uncle cannot do anything, I think my second brother is ignorant, please forgive him."If you want to fight, please hit me first. Even if I have a skin and flesh, I am willing to do so!

The old man in the Jiejie belt also supported Xu Huizu and advised: Please calm down, don’t be angry.

Xu Huizu turned around, pointed at Zhu Gaoxu, and said: I think you are lawless, Ah?

Zhu Gaoxu said with a tough bullet: I know I have something wrong, so it is also appropriate for my uncle to beat or scold him.

After hearing this, Xu Huizu sighed again, covered his chest, and cursed with sad expression: If it weren't for your mother's sake, I wouldn't bother to care about you!

The meaning of this is very clear. Beating and scolding you is also for your own good!Can Zhu Gaoxu have any reason to resist?

Why don’t the prince welcome the Duke of Wei into the house quickly and drink water to calm your breath?The old man said anxiously.

The prince greeted the two brothers and helped Xu Huizu into the room together.

When he got into the house, Xu Huizu continued to stand at the height of morality and scolded Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu didn't care whether it was right or wrong, and he didn't contradict him, just listened with his teeth.

After hearing so many bloody curses, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly discovered Wang Gui. Wang Gui was walking back and forth outside the door, stretching his neck from time to time to look in.

Zhu Gaoxu's heart skipped a beat: Shouldn't Wang Gui and Du Qianrui have left the city long ago?

Originally, Xu Huizu's moral arguments were extremely boring, but now Zhu Gaoxu couldn't even listen to a word, and he was only wondering why Wang Gui was still in Nanjing.

After a while of slaughtering, a maid came in to add tea.Zhu Gaoxu walked over, took the teapot, poured tea for Xu Huizu with his own hands, and took the opportunity to say: Uncle, please calm down, I will go to change my clothes for the time being, and I will come after I look down.

Xu Huizu looked slightly at this time and also found the person walking fast outside.It seems that the excuse has been discovered by Xu Huizu.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care much, so he walked out of the room, glanced at Wang Gui, and walked in front.Wang Gui also quickly followed.
