Chapter 160 Just a process

The garlic flavor dispels the fishy smell of oysters, which is very fresh and fragrant. It is refreshing with the refreshing rice wine.There is no need to eat it voraciously, just try it slowly little by little, and you won’t feel tired even if you eat a meal for a long time.

Of course, it depends on who to eat with, which is the most important thing.

In the quiet room in the downtown city, in the elegant and sparse bamboo curtains, Du Qianrui plays the soothing pipa, which is crisp and beautiful.

During the conversation between Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Zhenliang, he ate a bite of oysters and a sip of rice wine, and then listened to the pipa music for a while, without a moment of boredom.

He picked up the wine pot with his thin neck to pour wine, admired the beauty's looming posture in the bamboo curtain, and couldn't help but say: Life is just a process. Even if we have something to do, we don't have to make the process so boring.

This is the day he had always longed for in his previous life, rather than sleeping in a tent wearing heavy iron sheets all day long.

After hearing this, Wang Zhenliang thought about it, but although he did not agree, he listened with interest.

Since the Jianwen Dynasty, Wang Zhenliang has been in the capital and has also worked as a military general of the Jinyiwei, knowing many things about ministers in the court.

So they talked about a lot of people one after another. When they talked about Qi Tai, the treacherous minister, Zhu Gaoxu became more and more interested.

There were many ministers who advocated the reduction of the vassal states back then, most of whom were civil officials, and Qi Tai was one of them.

Zhu Gaoxu discovered that what Qi Tai did was different from Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru.

Qi Tai is not as effective as Huang Zicheng's speech, nor is Fang Xiaoru's status as a stern person, but he is more pragmatic, and most of his strategies make sense in hindsight.

Zhu Gaoxu did not like those civil officials who talked about the great truths. Instead, he admired people like Qi Tai. He was a minister of the Ministry of War and knew about military affairs and had no place to eat.

This man was born in a humble background. When he was young, he fought with the military general Zhang Xin to compete for a kiln sister but had not won. However, he was selected by Taizu as one of the ministers of his life. It was not a false reputation.

But Qi Tai has the biggest problem: his name is on the list of treacherous ministers in Jingnan, and he cannot be forgiven by now.Once the Jingnan Campaign is over, Qi Tai will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the treacherous ministers forever!

Can such a person be used?

He thought about it and thought he could give it a try.

Because according to the long-term career plan that Zhu Gaoxu had planned for himself before, collecting the abandoned resources of the Jianwen Dynasty was a way for him to expand his strength.

People like Qi Tai are now so scrapped that they can no longer be scrapped.

Zhu Gaoxu asked casually, "Qi Tai is not dead yet?"

It must be soon.Wang Zhenliang said that after leading troops across the river, the situation was hopeless. Qi Tai actually claimed to recruit troops to continue to resist, and the people disappeared after leaving the capital.I think he is trying to run away...

Oh! Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed, in fact, nothing wrong with being afraid of death. It is the nature that people are born with a desire to survive. Otherwise, everyone will not be afraid of death. If they are willing to sacrifice themselves, can the world be orderly and still be governed?

King Gaoyang’s words are reasonable. Wang Zhenliang nodded, but it was useless if it was afraid. The Qi Tai family is ineffective, and there are no powerful relatives and friends. When the court offers a reward, where will he go?

Zhu Gaoxu calmly picked a piece of oyster meat, dipped it in some garlic paste, and then asked inadvertently, "Where is he going now? Is there any news?"

Wang Zhenliang shook his head and said: I dare not interact with the original Jinyiwei brothers recently. If I ask, there may be some clues.

No, I just ask casually.Zhu Gaoxu said.

He still has a way. He originally wanted to curry favor with Ji Gang, the unknown young man who wanted to please him, but now he is the commander of the Jinyiwei!

When Zhu Gaoxu met him, he had a bad relationship, but he was not very good. Now he is an acquaintance.

Wang Zhenliang said again: Qi Tai has a student who has received the great kindness of Qi Tai, and few people know about it.I also found out that when I was working as a Jinyiwei. It didn't matter, but I don't know why I still remember... Oh, right!Previously, King Gaoyang sent a civil servant named Hou Hai to the capital to ask about Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin had another grudge with Qi Tai, so I checked Qi Tai.

student?Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously.

Wang Zhenliang said: That student is Gao Xianning.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: The person who wrote "Theory of Zhou Gongfu Chengwang" in Jinan City?

That's right.Wang Zhenliang said, that's why I remembered this person.I also remember that article today. I was about to call him to become an official in Beijing, but the person disappeared!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

The meal was from noon until afternoon. When Zhu Gaoxu saw that it was getting late, he asked Chen Dachui to drive the car and take Wang Zhenliang straight to Xiaozi Street.

Wang Zhenliang got off the bus in the yard and got on the bus from the yard. From beginning to end, he didn't even show his face here.

...Zhu Gaoxu also returned to the Prince's Mansion before dark.That night, she slept in Yao Ji's room, but she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She thought about the news she heard from Wang Zhenliang during the day.

Yao Ji didn't fall asleep, lying on her side, but she didn't say anything.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu did not go out and wandered around the palace again.

He had long been familiar with this mansion. A few years ago, the three brothers were imprisoned here in the capital for several months.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that he was not as good as his Prince's Mansion in Peking... mainly because there was a large number of illegal gardens in the Prince's Mansion in Peking.

At this moment, a voice said: Prince.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw that Wang Gui was finally back!

Come with me.Zhu Gaoxu said directly.

He paid attention to the maids in the mansion and took Wang Gui to Du Qianrui's room.

Du Qianrui came up and bowed her knees, with surprise on her face, Eunuch Wang is back!After I arrived in the capital, I found that Eunuch Wang was not here and I was not easy to ask.

Wang Gui said: Thank you Miss Du for your concern. It’s something that we have to stay in Peking, so we’ll come back later.

When Zhu Gaoxu and others fled from the capital to return to Peking, Wang Gui and Du Qianrui were on the way. After arriving in Peking, Wang Gui and Du Qianrui also met for a long time, so they were indeed familiar with each other.

Zhu Gaoxu said: You will be back to Xu Jiu later, I will be with Wang Gui first. Miss Du closed the door and sat outside the warmhouse for a while, watching if anyone approached.

yes.Du Qianrui replied softly.

So Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui went into the ear room next to Du Qianrui's bedroom. This ear room was originally for the maid who was on duty, and there was not even a window.

Wang Gui whispered the experiences of Qu Neng and his son along the way, the paradise they found, and how to disguise themselves as camels to transport food.

Qu Neng also saved two little ladies, but was tortured too much by bandits and died of illness within a few days.

Wang Gui said almost in a whispering voice: The exit of the Nuna stone cave is on a cliff, very high from the valley, there is only a road chiseled from the stone wall, and the section below has to climb vines down, which is the only passage to get out of the mountain. General Qu and his son pushed a big stone to block the entrance of the cave...

Zhu Gaoxu listened to Wang Gui's description in his ear room, and listened very carefully. The two of them whispered for a long time.
