There was a slight darkness next to the hall, and the eunuch Wang Gui's body blocked some bright sunlight outside the door.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and Wang Gui bent over and walked in and bowed: Prince, Chen Dachui has returned to the palace and is asking for a meeting with the prince outside.
Call him in.Zhu Gaoxu said immediately.
Slave obeys the order.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu asked again: Chen Dachui came back alone?
Wang Gui turned around and hugged the whisk with both hands, and replied with certainty: Yes, he returned home alone and just arrived.
After a while, Chen Dachui entered through the front hall's main entrance and walked towards this side.
He walked straight to the throne steps, knelt down on one knee and said, "I will pay homage to the prince."On the day when the prince took the prisoner back to Beijing, I had something to do... that place.When I came back, everyone had left the old palace. I asked the slave and thought something was wrong, so I quickly left the mansion.But next, I found out a few important things in the capital.
Chen Dachui was covered in dust, just like Zhu Gaoxu had just returned to Yunnan.When Chen Dachui was speaking, he turned to look at the back door of the front hall, and there were some palace maids and eunuchs standing outside.
However, the front hall is very large, with eleven rooms wide. Zhu Gaoxu sat in the middle. As long as the sound was slightly smaller, it would be difficult to hear outside the hall in the distance.He waved and said, "President Chen approached and spoke.
Chen Dachui walked up the steps and stood beside Zhu Gaoxu and whispered: Wang Zhenliang, the son of the son-in-law, may have been targeted by the Jinyiwei.I didn't dare to find him, and he never came to the jade shop.
I first lived in the jade shop for a few days, bought some oil, salt, firewood and rice, and opened the door to do business.Within ten days, Gao Xianning from the Hanlin Academy and the young man with a fair appearance all came to the jade shop.These two people told me some things about the capital. The first thing is that Mu Bin, the only son of the Marquis of Xiping, was killed!
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked when he heard this and stared at him.
Chen Dachui continued: The matter is roughly, a housekeeper named Chen Wu and Mu Bin escaped in the early morning in the capital.But Mu Bin was shot and killed by an assassin with a crossbow as soon as he went out, and Chen Wu was also killed by his accomplices.The Jinyiwei is still investigating the assassin, but he has not figured out what is going on.
The second thing Gao Xianning told me.King Min wrote a letter to the Queen of Xiping, saying that the Queen of Xiping had been colluding with the King of Han's Mansion for a long time, and the complaint was very detailed.Chen Dachui roughly explained the content of King Min’s complaint.
As soon as Chen Dachui finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly raised his head and laughed.Chen Dachui couldn't help but smile with a happy expression on his face.
The laughter alarmed the servants outside the hall, and everyone quietly visited the inside curiously.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at it, his eyes stinged by the bright sunlight.
...It was a autumn rain a while ago, and today's sunshine is indeed very bright.
Zhu Gaoxu only felt the clear scenery until now, so vivid.
Perhaps there will be new dark clouds in the sky in a while, but at least the current situation really makes people feel comfortable.
Thinking that Mu Sheng lost his son miserably, Zhu Gaoxu gradually held back his laughter.
I suddenly felt a little strange because the content of the complaint by King Min, except for the excessive movement of the jade business, it is difficult for King Min to know many details.
But no matter what, these subtitles will not affect Zhu Gaoxu's mood at this moment.
Zhu Gaoxu's laughter stopped completely, with a smile on his face, he raised his finger and pointed at Chen Dachui, exhaled a long breath, and put down his hand again.
He slapped his hands on the armrest, and the man stood up briskly and said: Mr. Chen, go back and take a break.
Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said: The last one will get the order!
Zhu Gaoxu quickly walked out of the front hall, took the eunuch Wang Gui and others to the east along the wide brick and stone square, and came to the corridor where the study room was located; there was a small patio surrounded by some houses.
Zhu Gaoxu left Wang Gui alone to serve him, and all the other slaves were dismissed.
Wang Gui got the instruction and called the four people and three escort commanders in Taoyuan, Wushan.
There were some peach and plum trees planted in the patio. When Zhu Gaoxu first moved into this Han Palace, the trees were still very small, but a few years later, they had already grown up completely without realizing it.
Perhaps things in the world are like a tree.
What direction should things develop? Just like a tree trunk, Zhu Gaoxu must make a choice himself.
However, the branches and leaves of everything will grow and flourish as time goes by. A person will be unable to control his time and energy, and a group of people will definitely affect his growth.
After seven people came to the courtyard one after another, Zhu Gaoxu told them about the capital.
Zhu Gaoxu not only had to find someone to discuss how to make decisions, but also wanted these people to know and participate in decision-making. In this way, everyone understood which direction the trunk was going to grow, and they could manage the lush branches and leaves.
After hearing this, everyone was talking, speculating how Mu Sheng felt after learning the news.
Zhu Gaoxu talked about another topic: At present, in the Han Palace, the Chief Secretary Li Mo, Chen Gang, and the Jun Yu Meiqing have been found to be traitors from the court.To be precise, he was a counselor from the old palace of King Yàn, but Yao Guangxiao's party was all a clerk from the East Palace, and now he must be Gao Chi's close minister.
Veda frowned, looking a little angry.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: Chen Gang and Mei Qing have low levels and generally have no chance to participate in major events in the Han Palace.If the Chief Secretary Li Mo is here recently, everyone should know.Zuo Changshi Qian Xun, I have been with him for many years, pay attention to him, and sent someone to investigate him secretly, so there should be no problem.
Everyone answered one after another.
At this time, the iron-faced man said: Since the King of Han has found out Li Mo's identity, the court does not know.Why didn’t the King of Han try and use Li Mo to mislead the court?
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the iron-faced man and thought to himself that the bigger the civil servant, the more bad water in his stomach.He nodded immediately and said: Mr. Li makes sense, then Li Mo can be used by us once.
Everyone continued to discuss major issues.
First of all, we must raise an army and rebel, and this has not changed at all.
Several civil and military officials from Taoyuan, Wushan came out to rebel!
Wang Bin supported the uprising without hesitation. He had long disliked the people in the East Palace.
Veda and Liu Ying did not object either.
Then everyone discussed the timing of the rebellion and the matter of taking the lead in advancing the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Secretary.
Before, when Zhu Gaoxu had just arrived in Taoyuan, Wushan, Qi Tai proposed this strategy.Everyone said it briefly at that time, but after repeated considerations, Zhu Gaoxu still felt that it was the best way.
There are only three places to go out from Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi.
In the Guangxi side of Annan Kingdom, it is too far from the capital and progresses slightly slower, and the Han Palace's power will become a border trouble, which is not conducive to fighting for the power of the court as soon as possible.
The roads in Guizhou are not easier to walk than those in Sichuan, and there are the Guizhou defenses run by Gu Cheng.
Moreover, Guizhou has not yet established a province, has a small population, and has a barren territory and a rugged road.
Even if Zhu Gaoxu conquered Guizhou, it would be difficult to grow and grow. If he chose this path, he would be very sad before leaving Guizhou, and he would always lack a stable and prosperous supply area. In the end, he would try to occupy Sichuan.
In contrast, Zhu Gaoxu and others felt that trying to occupy Sichuan was the best choice!
The iron-faced man said: Once the King of Han decided to raise an army, there would be only one target, the capital!You must never stop until you achieve success.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the familiar iron and eyes on his face and nodded...
In the land of Jiuzhou, since Qin Shihuang unified the world and the Han Dynasty inherited the concept of Qin's unification, a consensus has been reached in all dynasties, that is, there is no day or day, and there is no two kings in the country!
In separatist or battle for hegemony, there is no room for compromise in the final goal, and there is only one king left.
Qi Tai reminded Zhu Gaoxu in this way, and obviously he also recognized this concept.
...How did King Yàn raise his army in the Jingnan Battle? Zhu Gaoxu participated almost the whole process, and the role model was there.
However, before the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Gaoxu did not participate in some steps, mainly in the planning stage.
When King Yàn began to publicly accuse the court of damaging the royal family, he must have discussed with his confidant civil and military officials for many times.
This time, the vassal kings also raised their troops, which was somewhat similar to Zhu Di back then, and there were many differences.While summarizing his father's experience, Zhu Gaoxu also had to modify the steps.
Once Mu Sheng’s matter was resolved, Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was easier for him to raise an army than King Yàn back then; the more difficult thing was how to fight it, Yunnan was really far and remote.
How to occupy Sichuan is the first major problem in this big thing.
Sheng Yong and Qu Neng and Wenwu left, Zhu Gaoxu went to the study on the east side of the front hall, first summoned the right chief Li Mo, and asked him about his visit to the Chief Secretary's Mansion for more than a year.
Li Mo thought Zhu Gaoxu attached great importance to his responsibilities in the Changshi Mansion, so he took the opportunity to persuade him, saying that Zhu Gaoxu should put brotherhood first.
Zhu Gaoxu sneered in his heart, but said that Li Mo was a talented person.
Then Zhu Gaoxu summoned the left chief Qian Xun and said that the Eastern Palace killed the throne and usurped the throne, and the situation became increasingly critical.
Zhang Fu of Annan Kingdom, his father and son were both kind to the late emperor.
Now that Zhang Fu has an army of more than 100,000, Zhu Gaoxu asked Qian Xun if he would go south to see Zhang Fu and persuaded Zhang Fu to join the ranks of the army to seek punishment.
Qian Xundao said: The lower official has a word, but he doesn’t know whether he should speak or not.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: Say.
Qian Xundao: Civil officials rely on their reputation to gain a foothold in the officialdom of Shilin, and most of them have to be moral.The general only relies on military merits, and Zhang Fushen was granted the title of Marquis of Xincheng and made great contributions in Annan Kingdom. I am afraid he doesn't care about morality.According to the opinions of the Xiaguan, he would definitely not be willing to take big risks with the prince, let alone Zhang Fu's whole family is in the capital?
The prince calmed down his anger, and the subordinates probably could not persuade Zhang Fu.If he could persuade him to leave some way out, interact with the prince in private, and fight in Annan Kingdom, it would be the best result.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu laughed instead of anger. He smiled and said: When I was granted the title of Yunnan, the late emperor casually found a chief minister for me, but unexpectedly he was also a person with some knowledge.
Qian Xun hurriedly said: I dare not be a subordinate.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Then are you willing to go to Annan Kingdom?
Qian Xun said: The lower officials dare not show loyalty, but now the situation is like this, and the lower officials have no choice. Only by continuing to assist the prince and hope the prince can you stabilize the overall situation, and the lower officials and others will have a glimmer of hope.
Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said, "I asked Baihu Wang Yu to take a team of men and escort Qian Changshi to Annan Kingdom."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and Wang Gui bent over and walked in and bowed: Prince, Chen Dachui has returned to the palace and is asking for a meeting with the prince outside.
Call him in.Zhu Gaoxu said immediately.
Slave obeys the order.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu asked again: Chen Dachui came back alone?
