Chapter 168 Dream First Awakening

The mothers of Zhu Gaoxu and others were named the queen. In a few days, the heroes of Jingnan all rewarded each other for their merits, and many of them were named Duke, Marquis, and Bo.

Only the children of the emperors have not been granted the title for a long time, and Zhu Gaoxu and others are still at the level of the princess.

The prince is usually relatively idle and cannot control any civil and military affairs in the court.Unless the emperor summoned him, Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have to go to daily court affairs.Most of the time, it can be said that it is doing nothing.

...The Prince of Gaoyang was in the capital for several months and did not cause any trouble, nor did he hear of a murder case. All the ministers felt very grateful.

The rumor is that because of lust, the newly beautiful little nun, brothel singing girls, and several stolen women, all day long, and they have no time to cause trouble.

After the subjects quietly discussed King Gaoyang, they went home to warn their wives and daughters not to get close to the streets of the Prince's Mansion of Gaoyang County.

However, occasionally, Zhu Gaoxu would go to Fengtian Gate to worship so that he would have some serious work and not have to stay so home.

On the first day of May, Zhu Gaoxu went again.When he arrived at Fengtian Gate, he saw that his elder brother was there, so the two brothers exchanged a few greetings.

Zhu Gaoxu also chatted with acquaintances Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Wu and others to learn about the recent big and small things of the imperial court.

When the emperor arrived, the courtiers who were originally talking to each other were standing in a mess in the imperial gate, then lined up on both sides, waiting to perform the big bowing ceremony.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu discovered that many heroes and generals were looking at the person in front of him, and people were displeased and even angry.

The person the general looked at was ranked first among the military officials, and it was actually Li Jinglong!

Li Jinglong was originally a Duke of the Kingdom. After opening the Foreign Jinchuan Gate, he now looks like he is rising.

Maybe he didn't look back at everyone's expressions, or maybe for some other reason, Li Jinglong stood there with his head raised, and seemed very proud.

When the emperor sat on the throne, everyone saluted, and the rituals and music were played according to the rules.

After the ceremony, when the eunuch said that he had something to say and said that he had something to say and said, "I'm going to say something to say, but the prince Zhu Gaochi stood up and bowed and said, "I'm going to say something to say something to say."

explain.The emperor's voice said.

The prince said: My son thought that Fang Zhongyi, the person who assassinated the censor Jingqing, had no surname in his original name, and was not Fang Xiaoru's son. He was named as an adopted son and was actually a slave.The court should not implicate the head of the family for the crime of slavery.Please give your father a grace and forgive me a little...

The prince said something and immediately talked about it inside the Imperial Gate.Zhu Gaoxu was not careful and was immediately surprised... The prince was very brave, so why was he so brave today and dared to say it against his father's intention?

But Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and felt that it seemed reasonable: someone must have given advice to the prince.Pleasing for Fang Xiaoru is to give face to all scholars in the world, which is to win people's hearts!

Zhu Gaoxu turned to observe the officials who were talking, and indeed many people were nodding frequently while talking.Now the prince’s reputation is even better!

The vocation of the prince, prince and princess is still undecided, and the eldest brother is also very hard-working as the eldest son. He has no choice but to be unable to get out of office.

Who gave him the idea?

The first thing Zhu Gaoxu thought of was the monk Yao Guangxiao!

Although Yao Guangxiao rarely left the prince's mansion since his father ascended the throne, his two confidants, Jin Zhong and Yuan Gong, had been very diligent in the prince's mansion.

Moreover, on the first day of the Jingnan Army entering Beijing, Yao Guangxiao asked Fang Xiaoru for love and tried his best to prevent his father from killing Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru was imprisoned in the imperial prison until today.

Now Yao Guangxiao made plans to ask the prince to continue to persuade him, which should be a trick to kill two birds with one stone. While helping the prince, he can also do his best to Yao Guangxiao's own proposal.

After the throne was silent for a while, Zhu Di's voice said: If you retreat, the court will have its own opinions.

The son obeys the order.The prince bowed for a moment and retreated to the side.He did not insist, but only demanded love. No matter what the result was, scholars all over the world would appreciate his love.

Zhu Di's voice said again: Li Jinglong, I heard that you were responsible for judging the "Taizu Records". In the past two days, you have gone to the Hanlin Academy to continue doing this.

Li Jinglong immediately bowed: I will receive the order, thank you for your kindness!I will devote all my efforts to fulfill my mission!

Jin Shang actually asked Li Jinglong, a military general who claimed to be both civil and military, to study books. Perhaps Li Jinglong was really a little more tactful... What happened to Xie Jin a while ago may have made Jin Shang think that it was unreliable to only hand over the writing books to civil officials.

The emperor had already said it in public that his biological mother was Empress Ma, Taizu Xiaoci Gao.

Then Xie Jin actually insisted on finding the file file to check it. This is too much. Can't you remember who the emperor was born? What he said in person is wrong?

When Zhu Gaoxu saw this scene, he couldn't help but think: This is probably what the ancient courts were like. The things the center really wanted to do were never told in a blatant way, and they had to rely on guessing and understanding.

Although there was a plaque hanging in the court that read the plaque that was upright and bright, it was useless.

……

After the morning court, Zhu Di reviewed the memorials and received the ministers. He was busy until noon, and he didn't even have time to have a good sip of tea.

So after lunch, he looked for a room behind the Imperial Gate exhausted, and lay down to take a nap for a while.

In a daze, Zhu Di had a dream.

At first, he didn't know it was a dream, and thought he had woken up from his nap and was walking to the palace hall, but he felt something was wrong.

The palace and the dragon chaise were all things he was familiar with, but the hall was filled with smoke, as if it was foggy at night, and it seemed that it was not dawn in the morning.

The dark blue light and the white mist on the ground made him feel chilled all over.

It turned out to be in the Hall of Hell!

At this moment, several people walked into the fog.When Zhu Di saw it, he was shocked and sweated. It was Taizu and Emperor Jianwen who were walking in front!

Emperor Jianwen said: The emperor’s grandfather, it was the fourth uncle who robbed me of the throne.

Taizu glared at Zhu Di: Come down, that seat is not for you to sit in!

Emperor Jianwen said: Have you heard what the emperor’s grandfather said? Come down quickly!You are not qualified to sit on the throne, it should be mine.

Zhu Di wanted to argue that I was just listening to Taizu's teachings.But he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, and he felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, two more people came over, one was his eldest son Zhu Gaochi and the other was his second son Zhu Gaoxu.

Behind him, a group of civil and military ministers came. When the civil officials saw Zhu Gaochi, they knelt on the ground, worshipped Zhu Gaochi, and kept praising morality and saying that Gaochi was generous, benevolent, righteous, and good!Everyone ignored him Zhu Di!

Zhu Di was furious and wanted to say: I am still sitting on the throne, what do you mean?Gao Chi!I just sat in this position and my butt was not hot yet. Why are you anxious?

But he still couldn't speak.

The second son Gao Xu came over. Gao Xu suddenly drew out a sword and said: Father, I have made such a great contribution. I have beaten the world. How can I give the throne to others?

Zhu Di was already furious, and he pointed at Gao Xu while retreating, thinking that his own son actually pointed at me with a weapon?Do you want to rebel? It’s going against the sky!

... Come!Zhu Di suddenly sat up.

Emperor, my servants are here.A voice came from my ears.

Zhu Di opened his eyes and saw the sunlight coming from the window frames, and the surroundings were quiet.Where is the fog?The group of people just now disappeared.Only a group of eunuchs and palace maids stood in front of them.

Zhu Di took a deep breath and immediately realized that he was dreaming just now.

Call Hu Yi to see me!Zhu Di immediately issued an order.

A eunuch said: I will receive the order.After saying that, he took a small step back to the door, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Hu Yi was originally a minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Jianwen's court. After the Jingnan Army entered the city, he took the initiative to surrender and reported to the emperor that the main monk Puqia had a fire in Fengtian Palace and entered the palace. It was suspected that Puqia was picking up Emperor Jianwen and helped Emperor Jianwen escape.

Zhu Di walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and the eunuch Zheng He entered.

Zhu Di suddenly said again: Did I hear that Zhang Fu's sister is very beautiful?

Zheng He was stunned for a moment and said: Although I have never seen it, I have heard of it. Xin Anbo (Zhang Fu)’s sister is beautiful and beautiful, beautiful and wise, and well-educated.

Zheng He's expression was a bit weird because he seemed to know something... During the Battle of Jingnan, Yu Shang verbally agreed to ask Zhang Fu's sister to promise the prince to be his concubine.

Because the time for filial piety has not yet come, no one has mentioned this matter.

And I heard that Zhang Fu's sister seems to look average...

But Zheng He is a tactful person. No matter whether he knows that or not, he must not know now.

Well... Zhu Di nodded after hearing this and continued walking back and forth in the room.

A long time later, an eunuch said: Report to the emperor, Hu Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was summoned to meet him.

Let him come here to see me.Zhu Di said.

Soon, Hu Yi came to the office that Zhu Di found casually. He knelt down first and received the imperial edict of calm before standing up.

This Hu Yi is a young man in his twenties and was born as a Jinshi.Zhu Di also had some doubts about whether this young man deliberately sued Pu Qiao in order to get to power.

But it is also possible that Hu Yi told the truth. After all, the court officials only knew that Emperor Jianwen had burned himself, and no one said that Emperor Jianwen ran away.

Hu Yi insisted that Emperor Jianwen ran away and spoke in front of the emperor. He probably knew something about the inside story.

Puqia hasn't confessed yet?Zhu Di asked directly.

Hu Yi bowed and said: Report to the emperor, Pu Qia's confession is vague and there is no progress yet.I dare not use torture because Pu Qiao has an old age with a monk. I just learned about this and had to be careful.Besides, Puqia is the only clue at the moment, and I am afraid that he will have some problems, so this matter is even more difficult.

Are you talking about Daoyan?Zhu Di asked.

Hu Yi was silent for a moment, and did not dare not not answer, so he clasped his fists and said: That's right.

Zhu Di asked: Did Daoyan say hello to you?

Hu Yi said: I will say nothing to you when I say something to you.

Well... Zhu Di made another unanswered sound from his nose.After a moment, he said again: It's not just Pu Qia.Ma is still in the palace, so I asked someone to change her place, so you can go in and out to ask.

Hu Yi said: I understand.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said: Let's go, hurry up and don't be too procrastinated.

Hu Yi hurriedly said: I dare not, I thank you for your kindness and leave.
