The city walls wrapped in rammed earth bricks wrap around Yunnan’s city, like a jar of pickled vegetables.
Everything is put in, and it ferments quietly. Will it rot and smell, or will it become a delicacy with just the right taste?
Zhu Gaoxu could control some things, but he was unable to control them, so he could only feel all the transformation with anxiety.
Matchmaker Before Xue Yan arrived with the imperial edict, Zhu Gaoxu met Chen Dahui again.
On the first day after Chen Dachui returned to the palace, he forgot to present something; when he went home, he remembered that he came to the Han Palace to pay his respects the next day.
Chen Dachui continued his last time and talked about some news that seemed not so important.
In the season of Yunnan Fucheng, it is difficult to feel the amount of clothes on your body.
It is rainy and like autumn and winter; it has just been clear for a few days, and although it is not very hot, you can still wear a single clothes. Walking under the sun is like the turn of spring and summer.
Right Chief Li Mo went outside the palace to greet Xue Yan and went to the study room on the east side of the front hall.Zhu Gaoxu was already sitting in a chair waiting for him.
There were also several civil and military personnel from the Han Palace standing in the study. After Xue Yan saw the ceremony, he took out the imperial edict first.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say it was a fake edict. He sat steadily on the chair, without even moving his butt, and said: Take it over and take a look.
The few people at the station looked at each other a few times, but didn't say anything.Xue Yan's expression was a bit ugly.
The eunuch Wang Gui took the imperial edict from Xue Yan and sent it to the desk.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at it and said: It was indeed my elder brother's handwriting. It can be seen that Xue Siqing came to be a lobbyist according to my elder brother's wishes.
Zhu Gaoxu handed the imperial edict to Wang Gui again, and asked the others in the study to pass on it.
Xue Yan said: King of Han, can you speak with one step?After he said that, he looked back at those people.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand gently, and Wang Bin and several others politely bowed and left, and walked out of the study room.
Xue Yan turned his head and looked at the door, then bowed and said: Xiaguan had an old age with Marquis Wuding, and was fortunate to be a matchmaker for the King of Han; but now, as the King of Han said, if he wanted to be a lobbyist for the court, Xiaguan really didn't want to come.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Xue Siqing was able to vote for my father back then, but today, how about I voted for me?
Xue Yan looked up in shock and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu was sincere and a little joking smile.
The emperor and the King of Han are brothers and are family members; the royal family, the King of Han Mansion and the Marquis of Wuding were married, and the lower officials and the Marquis of Wuding were family friends, and the king, minister, vassal, and the king and the prince were relatives and friends.The officials really don’t want to surrender to anyone else, and they just hope that both sides can resolve the misunderstandings.If the battle begins, there are no casualties, why bother?
Xue Yan sighed and said, "The Emperor has issued an order to release the Han King and will return to Yunnan soon."You have also seen the sincerity of reconciliation between the Lord and the Lord wishes brothers to reconcile.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded with thoughtful look.
But after a moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: Let’s talk about the conditions.
Ah?Xue Yan seemed to have seen some kind of hope just now, and was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say it again, but just observed Xue Yan's expression with his eyes.
Xue Yan finally spoke: The emperor promised that the King of Han and his descendants will be princes for generations, and your vassal state will be in Yunnan Prefecture for the time being, and the power of guards and military affairs will remain unchanged, and the court will reward you.If the Han king wants to change the vassal state in the future, the city of the world will be chosen by the king; if the Empress Dowager and the Emperor remember the great achievements of the Han king, they will not be reluctant to be rich.
At first glance, the conditions are pretty good.Moreover, after Xue Yan moved out of his mother at the right time, Zhu Gaoxu was not very good at rejecting her.
However, Zhu Gaoxu remembered that the late emperor asked him to work hard to make contributions and to make him the crown prince!It seems that he has promised King Ning, half of the Ming Dynasty... It seems that promises are always timely.
Zhu Gaoxu said: The elder brother has offered good conditions, so how should I repay it?
Xue Yan said: The emperor has nothing to ask for. As long as the king of Han recognizes the emperor as his elder brother, the emperor is the legitimate emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he can just follow the imperial edict.The brothers of the Ming Dynasty reconstructed the old and shared peace.
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and immediately asked coldly: Then my father died in an unknown way, so what happened is going on?
Xue Yan said: The late emperor was helpless because of the slander of a traitor, and the quack doctor was helpless. The relevant people have been punished.The Empress Dowager wrote an imperial edict to confirm this matter, so how could he be confused?
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Xue Yan and said: You have indeed chosen the position. What benefits did my elder brother give you... to avoid the crime of losing one's fortune in Annan Kingdom? Renewal? Use the Xue family to threaten it? Or do you think this king has too little chance of winning and has made a choice? Xue Siqing, you were able to survive at Annan Guoqin Station, so you also claimed my name!
Xue Yan's face turned a little red, and he hurriedly said: The grace of the King of Han is unforgettable.However, I hope you and your elder brother will have no ill intentions.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly twitched his shoulder a few times and started to laugh.
He stretched out his finger and pointed at Xue Yan, stopped smiling, and then sighed: Are you talking about articles that seem to make sense, is there any sincerity?
Xue Yan whispered: Please think to the King of Han.Now the emperor is the eldest son of the late emperor and the crown prince. The empress dowager and all the ministers have persuaded him to ascend the throne. Now the emperor is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. All provinces submit their orders!The imperial court built more than 2 million military households and controlled more than 2 million strings, but the Han king had only 20,000 guards. How could one fight against a hundred?If you raise an army, what is the chance of victory? There is no need to say more from the officials!
If the King of Han obeyed the imperial edict, he could at least hold on to Yunnan and enjoy honor and wealth.
Yunnan is located in a remote place and difficult to walk on the road. It is thousands of miles away from the capital, so it is obviously difficult to capture this place with a large army. Moreover, today's priests have always been kind and determined to maintain their achievements.
The King of Han will definitely be noble for the rest of his life.
After the Han King was a thousand years old, the suspicion of his brothers at that time was no longer there.The descendants of the Han prince were all from the Ming royal family, and the imperial court was useless to eliminate them.Isn’t this a good thing?
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu had to admit in his heart that Xue Yanting would use the pros and cons to persuade others.As long as Zhu Gaoxu still has a little fantasy, he will definitely think it makes sense.
When Jianwen's court used Xue Yan to cross the river north to negotiate peace, but Xue Yan turned to King Yàn after returning. Then Jianwen's court had no problem with hiring people... But the same person had completely different talents when he was in the hands of Gao Chi's group of people.
Zhu Gaoxu, after Xue Yan finished speaking, he spoke: I understand the conditions my elder brother discussed.I will put forward another condition, is it okay?
Xue Yan bowed and said: I am willing to hear the details of it.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I said directly that I do not believe the current statement of the death of my father in the palace; even if it is an imperial decree, I don’t know if my mother is willing to do so.If I want to obey the imperial edict, I must first find out the truth!
The three judicial officials, my people, and my third brother, participated in the case to investigate and interrogate the truth.
Let our brothers and other emperor uncles be convinced. How can I not value brotherly friendship and friendship and not follow the edict?
Before this, I hope to see the sincerity of the capital.If the capital is busy dispatching troops and dispatching troops from all sides instead of pursuing the affairs of the late emperor, then how do you think of the capital’s intentions?
Xue Yan pondered for a long time and said: The King of Han’s proposal is probably of no benefit to dispel the suspicion of the Lord and you!You are not in a hurry to reply today. How many days does the Xiaguan stay here? How about the Later Han King receives Xiaguan again for three days?
Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, but he meant that he was very grateful for Xue Yan's negotiation skills.
Xue Yan seems to think very quickly and can understand the other party’s true intentions in a very short time... Obviously, the method proposed by Zhu Gaoxu is suspected of being a slow-down plan and does not help the prospect of long-term peace at all.
When Xue Yan saw Zhu Gaoxu nodding, he clasped his fists and said: "I won't bother you anymore, please say goodbye."Three days later, I will come to pay homage to His Highness the King of Han again.
Zhu Gaoxu shouted: Save off guests!
...Gao Chi's party is obviously more difficult to deal with than Jianwen's monarch and minister.
When King Yàn raised an army, he was forced to a large extent. The Three Divisions of Peking directly transferred most of the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and arranged heavy troops around. The Three Divisions of the Prince's Mansion in the City of Peking forced the Prince's Mansion, and the knife was already around!
There is no hesitation in the palace of Yàn, but only the choice of waiting for death and resistance.
And Gao Chi now did not force Zhu Gaoxu at all. They were boiling frogs in warm water and killing people with soft knife!
There is not much tension in the calm Han Palace and even Kunming City.There were only two groups of envoys in front and behind, coming here with different attempts.
Under the clear and bright blue sky and white clouds, Zhu Gaoxu could not feel the intuitive threat of death.The desire for life and the wishes for those whom you are close to and care for quietly erode his determination.
What's more, Zhu Gaoxu didn't have the ambition to be an emperor from the beginning.He was already satisfied with the things brought by the prince, including wealthy clothes and food, beautiful wives and concubines, and social status.
Zhu Gaoxu sat alone in the study for a long time, and finally took out the things Chen Dachui brought back and read them repeatedly.On the paper, the beautiful running scripts as flowing clouds and water were written by the famous scholar Gao Xianning.
He wrote two copies, one of which was the imperial edict issued by the empress dowager, explaining why the late emperor could not attend the court or issue an order for the prince to supervise the country.
Another one is a story that Yang Rong, an official from the East Palace, read. Gao Xianning roughly rewritten the content based on his memory.
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be reading a story that had nothing to do with him.
The Han King inside is also far from what he did!
What about asking for the crown prince or the beautiful Taoist priest in front of the father is simply an indescribable sense of funnyness.
When his father died, Zhu Gaoxu was so obedient that he might not only know how obedient he was?
He also wrote that the King of Han had long been in love with the eunuchs in the palace... Is his father Zhu Di so easy to fool?
Zhu Gaoxu read a lot of malice between the lines!
What? The prince cannot suppress the ministers, implying that the Han King can suppress the ministers?
The Eastern Palace was afraid of the King of Han and did not hesitate to make up demonized and fabricated it, and it was simply not careless about the fig leaf.
Zhu Gaoxu had to start to suspect that as time passed, Gao Chi became famous, and both sides would only rise and fall!Can they let themselves go when they have an absolute advantage?
If Zhu Gaoxu had followed the path arranged by his elder brother, he might have enjoyed it for a while.But what should we do if we have wives, concubines, sons, subordinates, friends and so on?
Everything is put in, and it ferments quietly. Will it rot and smell, or will it become a delicacy with just the right taste?
Zhu Gaoxu could control some things, but he was unable to control them, so he could only feel all the transformation with anxiety.
Matchmaker Before Xue Yan arrived with the imperial edict, Zhu Gaoxu met Chen Dahui again.
