Chapter 147 The auspicious time has not come

Last year, Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to do it for others; now it is also very risky, but it is to find his own way.

The place where Qu Neng and his son were placed under house arrest is a mansion.

Today, Zhu Gaoxu took a car and walked around the mansion. He noticed the situation of guarding. There seemed to be fewer people at the door than he saw last year.

Perhaps the Jingnan Campaign has ended, and the Peking Yousi has relaxed its guard even more.

The greatest thing in the world is the king's land. The Jianwen court has fallen, and these military generals have nothing to do without their army.

Just like Sheng Yong, now in Huai'an, he is the general officer; after Ping An was sent to Peiping, it is said that he can go out for activities recently.

But all this tolerance is obviously an illusion!

According to Zhu Gaoxu's understanding of Zhu Di over the past few years, Zhu Di's temporary tolerance for civil and military generals was just to divide and govern them in order to make too many enemies at the same time. Zhu Di first cleaned up the treacherous ministers in the Jingnan manifesto, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, as well as Bao Zhao, Lian Zining and other civil officials who were famous and had public opinion.

The person whose knife has not yet fallen on his head is just auspicious time.

Zhu Gaoxu carefully looked at the situation around the mansion through the gap in the car curtain, and left after only walking around to avoid being noticed.

The fatigue of the journey did not affect Zhu Gaoxu's mind, and he felt that his thinking was very clear.

There are two main risks in this matter: the first is whether there will be any mistakes in the process of doing it, and the second is that it is difficult to avoid contact with Qu Neng. Is Qu Neng really that reliable?

As a gambler who quit gambling, his gambling nature is difficult to change. Otherwise, Zhu Gaoxu might be afraid and think that he would give up.

The carriage went out of the alley behind the mansion and turned a corner.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu saw a closed door on the side of the road through the curtain of the car... The houses here are almost built, and what attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention was: the old couplet on the door.

The ragged and faded paper can't see any words clearly. It will take two or three years or at least more than a year to become that way.

It's only February, and the New Year has just passed. The recent war has not happened in Peking. Almost all other couplets are still new.

Zhu Gaoxu calmly put down the curtain, patted the wooden board and said: Go home.

He returned to the county prince's mansion and washed his face only after a handful of his face. He didn't even wash the dirty dust on his body, so he quickly changed into clean clothes.Wang Gui followed in and helped.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, glanced at the door, and whispered: I may be able to be the prince in the future, and even inherit the Ming Dynasty.In the future, you will definitely be the most powerful eunuch around me, and you will also gain a reputation and be famous in history like Gao Lishi.

After hearing this, Wang Gui said: As long as the prince is good, I will not be afraid even if I am a sword or a sea of ​​fire! I am a so-called eunuch who has no home and no descendants, so I don’t want to be loyal to the prince!

He said no, but his eyes became very bright.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and thought to himself: Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to the ink are black. When will I learn from my father? I will make a promise first, no matter whether I can do it or not.

This king is in one day, and you can have a point of relying on him every day.Zhu Gaoxu said seriously again.

Wang Gui said: I am born as the prince, and die as the prince’s ghost!

I'll go to the Yàn Palace later and you can have a full meal for those two people.Zhu Gaoxu said.He changed his clothes and immediately went out to take his entourage to Princess Yàn's mansion to say hello to Princess Xu.

In any case, you must do the etiquette to avoid others thinking that he is a little strange.

When the group came to the main gate of the Yàn Prince's Mansion, they found that they were going to search their bodies.

When the soldiers and eunuchs at the door were Zhu Gaoxu, they felt a little embarrassed. Zheng He hesitated for a moment and said: Please, King Gaoyang.

Zhu Gaoxu said consciously: Since the rules have been set, don’t break them easily.

Thank you for your observation.Zheng He breathed a sigh of relief and came up to do something.

The eunuch brought Zhu Gaoxu to the inner hall of the Yàn Palace, where Princess Xu, Princess Gao Sui and several sisters were all in the hall of the inner hall.There was a lively and cheerful atmosphere inside.

The father won the war and ascended the throne as emperor. The devastation that once hung in the entire mansion disappeared. The whole family was extremely precious, and the people in the mansion could not be spared.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to greet his mother and asked Princess Xu how good she was.

He found that not everyone was really happy. Although the prince had a smile on his face, he was very reluctant, so he seemed to have something to worry about.

Gao Sui looked at the prince with his eyes, and then at Zhu Gaoxu who had just come in, it seemed as if he was thinking about something.

Miao Jin, who was standing behind Princess Xu, was also expressionless and not necessarily happy.

Princess Xu nodded with a smile: Wei Niang was about to send someone to call Gao Xu.I know you just came back with your father and were very tired, but your sister-in-law went to the mansion to cook in person today. The whole family arrived, but it was bad that Gao Xu didn't come.

My sister-in-law is really virtuous.Zhu Gaoxu smiled.

At this moment, the princess Zhang said in the voice of the princess Zhang, "It's all the time that everyone is so happy now, it's all the contribution of the father and the second uncle. We women can only do some small things, how can we bear such beautiful words from the second uncle?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw Zhang wearing an apron. He looked up and down and said with a smile: Our family is now a royal family, and the eldest sister-in-law will soon be the crown princess. What an honorable identity!Look at your style of doing housework in an apron, isn’t it virtuous?He turned around and asked a few sisters, "Crown Princess can eat whatever dish you cooked by herself?"

The sisters shook their heads with smiles.

Zhang stomped his feet and said: Oh, my second uncle is so proud of me!Don’t all the soldiers in the army want their second uncle to be the crown prince?

The two of them said one by one, as if they were joking, but the laughter in the hall was gradually gone, and most of them became very silent.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I have been following my father in the army for a long time and I am indeed familiar with some soldiers.But the word "天" is really hard to say. I heard that my sister-in-law helped Tan Yuan's family a while ago?

Zhang's face suddenly turned pale and his smile looked even more reluctant.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed lightly and said with a smile: Sister-in-law, don’t be too worried, brother, I am the first to support you as the crown princess!It’s obvious that my father became the emperor and our family is all right. I really don’t value that little title.I only like horses, beauties, gold, silver and treasures. My father really wants to give me important responsibilities, and I feel so tired.It’s so comfortable that the prince is not good, why am I trying to do anything?

The second uncle said it so lightly, is he afraid he was just lying to his sister-in-law?Zhang smiled.

Zhu Gaoxu stopped his smile and said: Sincere! Someone has indeed advised me to compete for the title of prince, but when I think that my elder brother is the elder brother, and I am justified, I want to jump out and fight with my elder brother, which makes the whole family unhappy, and I feel that it is impossible to make a mistake.

He then smiled and said, "The most important thing is, if my sister-in-law is asked to hold a grudge against me, will I still have good food to eat the dishes my sister-in-law cooks in the future?"That would be a huge loss!

Zhang said: How dare I?My second uncle wants to eat my food and comes to the mansion at any time. How can I disrespect my second uncle?

You kid are so old, you are still smiling.Princess Xu said with a smile.

Suddenly everyone in the hall started to laugh, and the atmosphere regained its joy.

Zhu Gaoxu turned to face Princess Xu and said, "Now my son only has two wishes. The first is that his mother will be healthy and live a long life, and she will always love and care for our brothers and sisters. The second is to be the king in a place with a wealth of peaceful and beautiful people. Hangzhou is the best, otherwise Suzhou will do the same!

Princess Xu laughed and scolded: The indecent words of sweet words... I will talk to your father.

My son thanks my mother for the first time.Zhu Gaoxu bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to Zhang again and said: Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I don’t want to give it to me any title of prince! Otherwise, the elder brother would be too embarrassed, and the relationship between our brothers and sisters would be greater than that.

Those sisters seemed to have really believed Zhu Gaoxu's words, but the eldest sister was actually wiping her tears.

At this moment, the prince said: Gao Xu, I misunderstood you before, just don’t mind.

Zhu Gaoxu said: My mother is here, what obstacles can’t be overcome between us brothers?Don’t mention it, the elder brother will always be our elder brother!

Alas, the second brother put so much effort into his father... The prince sighed.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back and said, "I am not just working for my father, but working for all my relatives, including myself."Then the treacherous ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty wanted to harm our family, so why don’t we do it with them?Now the father is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He holds the country and is rich in all directions. His world is the only one. His brothers and sisters have a father. He has enough of it.What's the point of us to care about the amount?

Gao Xu said it well.Princess Xu praised, "You must always be so harmonious, I'm relieved."

Only Gao Sui sat there, although he echoed and laughed from time to time, but said nothing.

For a moment, Zhu Gaoxu even believed himself.

At a certain moment, he even felt that if he was as kind as he appeared, it would be good... He could be very satisfied to be a prince in the Ming Dynasty and be able to enjoy wealth and glory.

However, can everything be so easy?If people can really love each other so much, will there be wars in the world break out?

At the hour of You, the father and the emperor also came.Even though it is a family banquet, everyone cannot be as casual as before, and etiquette is indispensable.

The father said in the throne: I will let Ping An come to be the commander-in-chief of Peking tomorrow.

Princess Xu advised: The emperor has just settled down and finally took a break, so don’t think about state affairs.

Zhu Gaoxu drank two glasses of wine, and he had a good alcohol tolerance, but he was easily attracted to his face.After almost the meal, he supported his head with his hands and pretended to be tired and dozed off there.

Princess Xu saw it and ordered her servants to say: Send Gao Xu back to the house and let him have a sleep early. Gao Xu is not easy, he is really tired.

So Zhu Gaoxu bowed and said, and the eunuch wanted to help him, so he gently lifted it.You can’t pretend to be too much. How can you be so tired that you can’t walk?
