Chapter 378 I really want to give up

The capital palace is bright and refreshing in autumn, and the weather is clear and clear, as if it is in the heavenly palace.

The Tiangong, which was built for twenty-six years, uses very exquisite materials. The colorful paint and magnificent glazed tiles are still very new today, fifteen years after completion; it is shining in the sun, and the world is clear and bright, and it is very gorgeous.

After Emperor Zhu Gaochi entered the Ganqing Gate, he insisted on walking to Kunning Palace.

His legs are not very good, he seems to have different lengths and some problems with his arches. He is also very fat and heavy, so walking is simply a pain.

But often people always use this form to express a kind of piety by seeking hardships and actively experiencing pain.

The person who was slightly behind Gao Chi was Xu Huizu.Xu Huizu was Gao Chi's biological uncle, and he took the initiative to walk in the back.

The eunuchs and palace maids were willing to follow them far behind. The uncle and nephew all the way, as if they had something to say, but they didn't say anything after walking for a while and remained silent.

How can family affection, old grievances, suspicion, and past grievances and entanglements be explained clearly?

Gao Chi seemed to know what he knew, and finally spoke. He only asked some simple and non-thick words, as if he was deliberately avoiding difficult questions.

He asked: What have my uncle done in the mansion in the past few years?

Xu Huizu, who was extra tall and burly, replied: I am thinking about something.

Gao Chi asked curiously: What are you thinking about?

Xu Huizu said: How did a god-given general become?People like Sun Bin, Huo Qubing, Ban Chao, and Guo Ziyi.

Gao Chi turned his head and said: King Zhongshan (Xu Da) is also counted.

Xu Huizu nodded and said: That's right, as my father and eldest son, I have been fighting all my life. When I am free, I can't help thinking about such a thing, related to generals. He showed a self-deprecating expression, but while I was thinking hard, I felt that it was useless. I know that once my eldest sister is gone, my deadline is approaching, and we siblings may be destined to leave together.

Gao Chi didn't know how to respond after hearing this, because this topic was very awkward.

Xu Huizu seemed to have understood a long time ago: the reason why he did not die after the Jingnan Campaign was because Emperor Yongle was concerned about Empress Xu's feelings.

Once the Xu family is gone, can Xu Huizu survive?

Gao Chi didn't say anything for a long time.Xu Huizu continued: To be ashamed, a real talent has little to do with his origin.Of course, it is much better to be influenced by the generals, but this advantage is not enough to be a gift from heaven.

That talent seems to have some natural temperament. Have the courage to take risks, the responsibility to bear heavy damage, and the perseverance to be unyielding; there will inevitably be some friendship that cannot be given up and support its perseverance.

So it is just wise and calm, and it will definitely not work. Once persistence lasts for a long time, the cost will be unbearable.However, being too motivated and unable to achieve great talent.

If you have such qualifications, you need to be tempered.Nirvana without suffering is reborn and turned into a butterfly. Time passes, people will always grow old silently, and soon...

My father, Emperor Taizong, Weijia, had a hard time back then.Gao Chi's way is indeed in line with my uncle's statement.

Xu Huizu said calmly: King Yàn is not only good at fighting formations when he is civil and military.

Gao Chi heard the word Yàn and glanced at him, but there was no outsider around him, so he was too lazy to scold him.

The two finally walked to the steps of Kunning Palace. Gao Chi was already sweating and pale. He sucked in big breaths, his voice was like a bellows, and he looked like a fish that kept coming out of water.

Gao Chi took a few breaths and gritted his teeth and walked towards the base.

The palace maids and eunuchs inside and outside Kunning Palace were all kneeling on the ground, but no one made a sound. Only one palace woman choked and said in a low voice: The Empress Dowager has not been able to get rice for several days and is often asleep.

Gao Chi and Xu Huizu walked into the hall. Gao Chi knelt in front of the bed, but Xu Huizu just squatted down and looked at Empress Dowager Xu's face with a sad face.

Queen Mother?Gao Chi called out softly.

Xu Huizu also shouted carefully: Big sister, I’m here.

After a while, Xu actually opened his eyes and moved his head slightly.Xu Huizu hurriedly stood up, bent down and moved his face to Xu's eyes.Xu's eyes blinked twice.

After waiting for a while, Xu's mouth could move.Xu Huizu hurriedly put his ears on him. After listening for a while, he quickly turned his head and said: Gao Xu, sister asks Gao Xu!

Gao Xu is probably going to rebel!Zhu Gaochi thought to himself.

Zhu Gaochi just got the news from Yuan Gong today, and Yuan Gong got the news from Monk Qingyuan again; Monk Qingyuan is Daoyan's personal monk, and the news should not be very different... Gao Xu is ready to hold his troops and watch the wind direction, and is ready to raise an army at any time and march towards Annan Kingdom!

But after a moment, Zhu Gaochi said: Gao Xu has returned to Yunnan, it’s pretty good now.His son sent Xue Yan to discuss with him, asking him to remain in Yunnan and to hold good places like Suhangyang when he is willing in the future.

At this time, Xu's head could also turn slightly, and she seemed to have her soul gradually returned to her body, her eyes were not turbid at all.Her eyes were only staring at Xu Huizu, and her voice became louder: Brother...

Xu Huizu immediately wiped tears hard with the back of his hand and said: Sister, I'm here.

Empress Dowager Xu smiled and said in a very slow and light voice: It’s going to be separated... I used to think that relatives would not be separated.But for decades of relatives, fate will finally end...

Big sister... Xu Huizu's face was covered with tears, and we, the Xu family, will never be separated.

Xu said: I used to think time was long, but I regretted not having a good life to look at you a few more times.The fourth brother has left, and I should have left long ago. I tried my best to look at you again, just trying my best to breathe this.

Xu Huizu cried out loud.

I really don't want to bear it.Xu sighed slightly.

Gao Chi also wiped his tears silently, his broad and thick shoulders twitched.

After a while, Xu's voice said again: Are you still so stubborn?

Xu Huizu was silent, his face was unstable, and countless subtle expressions were very complicated.

Suddenly, Xu Huizu knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said, "My dear Xu Huizu, I bow to the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor!"

Gao Chi was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard his mother call him softly.

Gao Chi hurriedly bowed over and heard his mother say: Remember what I said, it is difficult to ask your uncle to speak, but he can believe his words.

My son remembered it!Gao Chi said.

Xu closed her eyes and lay there quietly, stopping saying a word.

Emperor Zhu Gaochi and Xu Huizu knelt in front of the bed together, but did not dare to disturb the empress dowager casually.

Kunning Palace has returned to tranquility, and the tranquility seems to be a sound, silently telling joys, sorrows, grudges, love and hatred.

Several rays of sunlight shine through the carved windows and solidify there, which is so quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, Gao Chi’s voice called out: Queen, Queen Mother?

He stretched out his fingers and immediately sat on the ground, raising his head and neighing, crying and shouting.

He raised his head, cried like a child, heartbroken and heartbroken.

Perhaps, Gao Chi, who is nearly thirty years old, can only be a child for the last time.

A scream came from Kunning Palace, and a cry, "My son failed to be filial to his mother, Ah...

...In late August of the fifth year of Yongle, Empress Dowager Xu of the Ming Dynasty died in Kunning Palace, and the world was covered with mourning.

The emperor's title is: benevolence, filial piety, merciful, and sincere, Mingzhuang offers a favor to the Queen of Tianqi Shengwen.

It is also said that during his lifetime, Empress Renxiao cultivated herself, was cautious in speaking, acted diligently, was frugal, was alert, accumulated good deeds, promoted good deeds, worshipped the holy teachings, and practiced the wise.

The imperial edict was kept simple, so the ministers were relieved of their patience on three days, and the emperor was alone fasting for thirty-six days.

Gao Chi also violated etiquette when the late emperor passed away and was in a palace maid in less than a month.

But within a month, he even avoided the fat meat he liked the most and fasted for the empress dowager.

And he slept alone, and he did not let the imperial concubine sleep.

Three days later, Gao Chi, in accordance with the wishes of Empress Renxiao, issued an order to restore Xu Huizu's rank of Duke of Wei and let him take office as the governor of the Five Army Governor's Office.

Gao Chi summoned Xu Huizu in the Donghunting Pavilion of Ganqing Palace and brought up a secret report a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huizu said without hesitation: Fake!

Xu Huizu continued to explain: Who is Gao Xu? How can I not know? He will definitely not go to Annan! As soon as he went to Annan and fought fiercely with Zhang Fu, the emperor was able to mobilize his troops to Sichuan and Guizhou, and the army of officials entered Yunnan. Yunnan was under Gao Xu's hands?

Zhang Fu was not a mediocre general. Even if Gao Xu could defeat Zhang Fu and occupy Annan, the troops and horses of the world gathered in Guangxi and the court could reinforce at any time.However, the road from Annan to Yunnan is difficult to travel and food transport is inconvenient. Since Gao Xu abandoned Yunnan, is there any reason to attack again?It turns out that Gao Xu wanted to rely on the newly established land of Annan to fight the ten-fold imperial army in Guangxi?

Gao Chi nodded: I will discuss with the ministers about the Duke of Wei.Then Duke of Wei thought, where would Gao Xu attack?

Xu Huizu said: If it weren’t for Guizhou, it would be Sichuan!No matter where he attacked first or later, at the beginning of his rebellion, he should have wanted to occupy the three places of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan first!

Xu Huizu paused and said: If only Sichuan is occupied, Guizhou will threaten Yunnan on the flanks.If only Guizhou is occupied, the grain population will not be enough to support the army. Once the war is delayed, Gao Xu's power will only be exhausted day by day.

Gao Xu also had another choice, which was to abandon Yunnan, go to Sichuan, and go out to Huguang.But the families of soldiers who followed him might be captured by the imperial army; otherwise, Gao Xu would not be able to fight in Sichuan with his women and children.

Zhu Gaochi pondered: Will Gao Xu definitely rebel?

Xu Huizu said: The King of Han has been rebellious and perverted since he was a child. When I met him again in the first year of Jianwen, I only felt that he was even more different from his childhood, but he was cunning and unchanged.I heard that when the King of Han left Beijing this year, he spoke out loud and ruthless words, and the emperor probably would not be completely unprepared.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Xu Huizu and couldn't help but say: Duke Wei seems to have never liked Gao Xu.

Xu Huizu pondered for a long time, turned his head and took a breath. Gao Xu was both a nephew outside of his minister, so he shouldn't have done this, but Gao Xu made me feel...especially when I saw him again in the first year of Jianwen, it was hard to say!For example, the most fundamental loyalty, filial piety and virtue in the world is a gorgeous building, so I always worry that Gao Xu is the one who puts on the house and unloads the tiles.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and said: After living in deep love for several years, his words became deeper and deeper.
