Chapter 372 Tea

Two days later, heavy fog suddenly fell in Yunnan Prefecture City.

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of Chengyun Gate and walked on the wide brick floor. He saw a vast white area in front of him, and he couldn't see the front hall in the distance.

He felt a little weird in his heart, but he was very sure: as long as he continued to move forward, the front hall Chengyun Hall would definitely appear.

Sure enough, the magnificent outline of Chengyun Hall appeared in the fog.Zhu Gaoxu went straight to the study and saw the eunuch Wang Gui and a strange man waiting at the door.When asked, it turned out to be a slave sent by Mu Sheng.

Zhu Gaoxu took the letter presented by his slave and tore it apart. It contained a few short columns of words: If the King of Han was free, could he meet in private today? What was the last time he met?

After seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately said to the servant who delivered the letter without hesitation: Go back and tell your master, half an hour later.

The slave bid farewell to leave the entrance of the study.

Find an ordinary outfit.Zhu Gaoxu looked down at his dragon suit, turned to Wang Gui and asked Zhao Ping to meet him in the study.

Wang Gui bowed and said: I will do it immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the letter paper in his hand again, and the content was very simple, and he could see it at a glance.However, after a closer look, he found that the strokes seemed a little unstable; he couldn't help but guess that Mu Sheng's mood might not be very stable.

After a while, when Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the distance, he felt that the morning mist seemed to have dissipated a lot.

The last time I met with Mu Sheng was before Zhu Gaoxu went to Annan Kingdom, where he met was in Shenyuan.After thinking about it, what he talked with Mu Sheng last time doesn’t seem very important now.

Zhu Gaoxu waited for two minutes and felt that Zhao Ping had almost gone first. He also took a carriage out of Zunyi Gate west of the palace.

It was another sunny day, and the fog dissipated very quickly after the sun came out.

The sun was on the east city, passing through the mist in the sky, as if a layer of misty halo was shrouded in the surroundings.

The streets seem to be similar to usual. If you observe carefully, you will feel that there are fewer people, as if they are not very prosperous.

The national mourning had only had more than a month's impact on the people, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the Pear Garden could be heard faintly. Zhu Gaoxu and his men hurriedly walked through the corridor next to the theater and headed straight towards the Shenyuan.

Since Mu Sheng said in the letter that the place where he met last time, Zhu Gaoxu accurately arrived at the same hall.

Before Mu Sheng came, Chen Xu came in to greet him first.

She personally made kung fu tea for Zhu Gaoxu, while doing trivial matters, while looking at Zhu Gaoxu from time to time.

I saw that she was wearing relatively plain clothes today, with only slender floral patterns embroidered on the edge of her clothes.

He put a little light makeup on his face, but his thick lips were very red.

Both of them were relatively silent, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say to Chen Xu.

Soon, Mu Sheng walked in alone, clasped his fists and said: Your Highness, the King of Han, lucky to meet.

Zhu Gaoxu also stood up politely and returned the gift.The two then sat down next to the marble coffee table.

Mu Sheng glanced at Chen Xu, and Chen Xu said softly: The tea is ready, please don’t worry, you two of you to pour tea in person. After saying that, he bent his knees gently and wanted to leave.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out to stop her and said: It's okay, Mrs. Chen can listen. The lady also took risks and should let you know.

Mu Sheng ignored it. His face was a little sallow and seemed to have become much haggard. His temples must have been messed up by himself after going out. He didn't look very good.

I dare to ask His Highness the King of Han, I heard that the escort team detained in Guizhou was back?Dali Temple Minister Xue Yan came from Annan to discuss?Mu Sheng asked.

Zhu Gaoxu said: The Queen of Xiping is right.

Mu Sheng turned around and asked with a little careful look: How did the King of Han answer?

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: Nothing was done. In order to confuse the opponent with a delayed strategy, I asked Xue Yan to go back and report and come back in a month. But within a month, I should have raised an army.

Perhaps Zhu Gaoxu's tone was not even at all turbulent, and Mu Sheng was slightly shocked after hearing this. Chen Xu also looked over.

Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about something. He stretched out his hands and rubbed his face hard. Zhu Gaoxu saw it and was a little worried that he would rub off the skin.

Chen Xu came forward to resolve the embarrassment at the right time. She picked up the small teacup, pinched the fingers of one hand, and gently supported the bottom of the cup with the fingers of the other hand. Zhu Gaoxu took a cup of tea first and said thank you.

Mu Sheng took the small cup, stared at the brown cup and said: When holding this kind of cup, you have to be careful. If you are not careful, tea will spill out and stain a few cases...Oh!When he loosened his hand, the teacup immediately fell on the marble tea table. With a clamor, Mu Sheng reached out to pick it up again, but immediately overturned the teapot!

Suddenly, tea flowed everywhere on the table, and it was a mess.

This sudden accident made Chen Xu not move. He was indeed a woman from a wealthy family. Of course, this kind of thing couldn't scare Zhu Gaoxu. He and Chen Xu both looked at Mu Sheng silently.

Mu Sheng said: I'm really sorry.I was very careful and didn't want the water in the cup to spill, but I didn't expect to mess up all the tea!

Chen Xu stood up and said: It’s okay, the Queen of Xiping is waiting for a while, I will go and get a rag.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: Mu Sheng was a very noble person in the past, and he was very picky about what incense to burn or what tea to prepare. However, when encountering such a big event of giving his fortune and life, he was still not as stable as his brother.

Chen Xu had already brought a piece of cotton cloth, stretched out his fingers like peeling onions and gently wiped the table surface, and occasionally looked at Zhu Gaoxu with his double eyelids.

Her skin is really well maintained. Five years have passed, and Zhu Gaoxu really didn't notice the difference between her and when she first met.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: If I make peace with the capital, the Queen of Xiping might have to burn this Shenyuan.

But his joke seemed not funny, and no one in the hall laughed.

After a moment, Mu Sheng sighed and said: King Han is right.

Zhu Gaoxu said: With the Xiping Hou forming an alliance, it is not difficult to successfully launch a war. The main thing is to fight out as soon as possible and give people all over the world some basis for judgment, and the situation is not as dull as it is now.

Mu Sheng asked: Does the King of Han think there is a chance of winning?

Zhu Gaoxu said: If there is no chance of winning, why wouldn’t I just make peace?At least I can have time to play with hundreds of beauties.

Chen Xu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange look.

Mu Sheng thought for a while, reached out to his hand and entered his clothes from the handkerchief, took out an envelope, and handed it over and said: I have written an article, and I also feel that those who plot against the king and the father are contrary to human nature. Of course, the yamen in Yunnan cannot obey such an edict!

Zhu Gaoxu immediately pulled out the paper, looked roughly, and smiled at Mu Sheng: In a few days, I would like to set up a spiritual throne for the late emperor in the Han Palace and summon officials from the Yunnan yamen to come and worship the late emperor.What if the Xiping Hou would say it again in public?

Mu Sheng thought about it and nodded vigorously with a serious look on his face.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: By the way, before this, I want to transfer Yuezhou Guard to Yunnan Prefecture City.

Mu Sheng said: What does the purpose of the King of Han transferring a guard?

Zhu Gaoxu continued: Without passing through the commander-in-chief, there is only the transfer order from the Han Palace.

Mu Sheng rubbed his temples and suddenly said: By the way, the commander of the Yuezhou Guard seemed to be the court appointed by the King of Han first and then reported to him.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Xiping Hou is good at memory.

Mu Sheng seemed to be in a bad mood today, but he never mentioned Mu Bin's death.

His son Mu Bin was actually killed at this time!

However, this matter really has nothing to do with Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu has not been so crazy yet. If he does that kind of thing, it will be a problem that can be revealed.

Zhu Gaoxu also found it difficult to accurately understand Mu Sheng’s mood and suspicion at this time.But no matter what, it is definitely a firm decision to scold the current emperor in public to kill his father; this level should be enough.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and suddenly said: By the way, there is something else.The three judicial authorities cannot find out the inside story of the death of the late emperor because there is a large group of people mixing with each other!But if the court can find out the truth about the death of Prince Mu Bin, it can also get rid of the relationship and be beneficial to them; the government will do its best.Sooner or later, this matter will be revealed!

Mu Sheng's face turned red, he nodded with his eyes and said: I hope so.

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said: See you in the palace of Han within ten days. He said to Chen Xu again, thank you Mrs. Chen for the hospitality.

Walking out of the garden, Zhu Gaoxu got on the carriage, and the mask on his face disappeared immediately. Perhaps it was Mu Sheng's actions that affected him, and he subconsciously stretched out his hands and rubbed his face.

When he returned to the Han Palace, Zhu Gaoxu immediately summoned four people from Wushan and three guards to discuss matters in the courtyard on the east side of the front hall.Mu Sheng clearly stated that he would participate in the uprising, and Zhu Gaoxu also said it.

The crowd planned day and night, preparing for everything.

As Zhu Gaoxu said to Mu Sheng, it is not difficult to launch an army this time.

Gao Chi had just ascended the throne and had no time to deal with the complicated local affairs, not to mention that Yunnan is thousands of miles away, it is really impossible to reach out!

Now Mu Mansion is a local snake in Yunnan. The entire Yunnan was led by their family and has been guarding this place. Zhu Gaoxu got Mu Sheng's help and held 20,000 elite guards. He couldn't think of anyone who could stop him from rising up!

Even so, it seems like a lot of things to do in detail, after all, time is relatively hasty.And everyone has to consider the real problem this time...how to get out of Yunnan?

At night, everyone said goodbye to each other and went home for a short rest.

The eunuch Wang Gui came to see them off with lanterns, but there were lights everywhere in the Han Palace. Even if he didn't use lanterns, he could see the way.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the picture still on the table, picked up the lamp stand and put it on, staring at the lines above for a long time.

These pictures are very simple, but the post road is marked. The army has supply requirements, so they can only walk on the main road... Where there are no main roads, sometimes they can walk even if they are in a hurry; in addition to certain specific terrains, such as the Hengduan Mountains drawn by Dousha Pass.
