high official

Chapter 295
When several families were happy and some were sad, and several civil servants were full of worries, the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other and smiled.

After getting into the carriage, Zhu Gaoxu laughed unscrupulously: "Unexpectedly, father would really listen to your bad idea, third child."

"Hey, father is in a hurry and went to the doctor. He knows that the snacks are poisonous, but he still eats them anyway." Zhu Gaosui poured a glass of wine and handed it to his brother.

"But Xia Yuanji is also the same. The 50 troops have already been conscripted, and the war cannot be avoided, but he is still complaining and complaining. I think he just wants to take this opportunity to blackmail the emperor." Zhu Gaoxu took it, and laughed: " You deserve it all!"

"He is a civil servant after all, but how can any civil servant be willing to go to war?" Zhu Gaosui said lightly.

"Of course, they'll be nothing if there's a war." Zhu Gaoxu smiled happily.

"Hehe," Zhu Gaosui suddenly smiled happily and said, "The most ridiculous thing is that the boss, in order not to disappoint the civil servants, knew that he was going to be in trouble, but he had to ask his father for his life, but in the end he was scolded like hell..."

"Hahaha..." Zhu Gaoxu laughed wildly when he heard the words, and the scene at that time was vividly remembered like a revolving lantern... That day when the father announced in the court that he would personally conquer Mahamu, the crown prince was the first to object and said, "Let's cross the toes." The financial resources have been exhausted. The last time I personally conquered Mobei can be said to be a last resort, but now that Ben Yali is dead, Mahamu and Alutai are mortal enemies of each other, and the imperial court should sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, for some reason Want to revive the army again? "

"Why did you send troops? Everyone in the world is qualified to ask, but you are not qualified to ask!" Zhu Di's face turned dark at the time, and he didn't give the prince any face to reprimand him: "Isn't it just to end the troubles of Mongolia forever and leave a peace for future generations? Jiangshan! If it weren’t for you, a waste who can’t ride a horse, draw a bow, and has to be supported when walking, why would I have to go out of the Great Wall by myself at the age of fifty?!”

"My son is incompetent..." Zhu Gaochi hurriedly knelt down, but Zhu Di's anger was aroused, how could he calm down so quickly? !He sternly said: "I heard that you taught a lesson in the palace, so it's not good for me to send troops this time?"

The ministers who didn't know what to do, immediately sweated for the prince. Zhu Gaochi has always served the emperor with sincerity, but fortune-telling is a private behavior. If he doesn't deal with it properly, he will definitely leave the emperor with a bad impression of double-faced swords and ulterior motives. .

However, Zhu Gaochi kowtowed calmly and said: "My minister is about to play the Ming father, and my minister got the hexagram of 'teacher' that day, which is a bad omen! Knowing that it is not good, how dare my minister not say anything..." Where does the support come from? , to speak for where, Zhu Gaochi had to express the opposition of the civil officials, otherwise he was in danger of being regarded as no different from the King of Han by the civil officials, which would be a disaster for him.But if he blatantly stood on the side of the civil servants, he was in danger of being regarded by the emperor as another mountain, and it was also a disaster of extinction.

But Zhu Gaochi and his counselors are somewhat wise. He used divination to solve this dilemma-in this way, the reason why I speak up is because I find that the divination is not good, and I speak out of sincerity, not because Instigated by someone, he can not only express his attitude, but also separate himself from the civil servants.

"How dare you not say anything..." Zhu Di sneered again and again when he heard the words, but his suspicion towards the crown prince has subsided a lot, his eyes swept over the officials, and he saw Zhu Gaosui hesitate to speak, "Young lady, what do you think?"

"My son thinks that elder brother's Book of Changes is not at home yet." Zhu Gaosui stepped out of the class and said loudly: "Although there is evil in the hexagram of 'Shi', the general outline says 'Zhenzhang is auspicious, there is no blame'! My father is wise and powerful. , Yujia's personal conquest, which corresponds to the meaning of 'father-in-law', so there is no blame, it is the hexagram of great auspiciousness!"

"I don't understand the Book of Changes." Zhu Gaoxu also came out of the class and echoed: "I only know that other people are allowed to snore on the side of the couch? My father has worked hard for many years, and finally waited until Mahamu and Arutai turned against each other. This opportunity should not be missed. Otherwise, if we let Wala grow bigger, our Hetao will be in danger of being lost! The consequence of losing Hetao will be that the Central Plains will open up. At that time, the Tartar cavalry can cross the Yellow River at any time and go deep into the hinterland of our Ming Dynasty, and the people will never have peace! "

After listening to the two sons' high-spirited remarks, Zhu Di felt a lot more relaxed, and his face became brighter. He raised his voice and said to the officials: "Yes, I am the Son of Heaven, and I will act for the heavens! This attack on Mahamu is for the sake of My Ming people will never suffer from future troubles! The world can be peaceful for a long time, this is the Dali of the Book of Changes! Even if there is something bad or bad, it will only fall on Mahamu!" He said with a sneer to the prince: "It seems You still have to study for a few more years, and if you talk less about the Book of Changes in the future, it will only make people laugh!"

"Yes..." Zhu Gaochi was blushing from the training, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were also very proud of seeing the prince in distress, so much so that they still have endless aftertastes to this day...

.

"Because of the personal conquest this time, the disagreement between the emperor father and the civil servants is getting bigger and bigger, and the boss has also followed suit." After Zhu Gaoxu finished laughing, Zhu Gaosui said softly: "In addition to Zhou Xin's matter before, he and the emperor father have also settled down." There is not much left of the trust that has been so easily restored." He looked at his elder brother and said, "This time the personal conquest, the second brother will naturally accompany the driver, the boss will definitely stay behind, what should I do, don't I need my younger brother to tell me?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "I will definitely give the boss bad medicine when I get the chance, but is it useful?" After all, the crown prince is the crown prince of a country, and even Emperor Yongle can't change it if he wants to, otherwise he would have already given it to him. Zhu Gaochi was replaced, why wait until now?

"Water drops through rocks, and rope saws wood." Zhu Gaosui said in a low voice, "You have to make your father hate the boss to the extreme, so that I can work with Ji Gang to trick him."

"Haha, let's do both!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed loudly, raised his glass and said, "This time the boss will have to eat and walk around!"

"Not bad." Zhu Gaosui smiled and clinked glasses with his second brother: "This time it's done well, the boss will explain."

"I wish you success!"

"I wish you success!"

Zhu Gaoxu drank the wine in his glass, and the carriage arrived at his Han Palace, "Sir, come in and have a seat?"

"No." Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said with a smile, "Otherwise the boss will not be able to sleep well again."

"Hahaha, yes." Zhu Gaoxu squeezed Zhu Gaosui's hand, seeing his jade face was slightly red, he laughed and got out of the car and returned home.

.

The entire Hanwang Mansion is like a military camp. Wooden stakes and archery targets can be seen everywhere, and guards with weapons are everywhere... Zhu Gaoxu is a prince who grew up in the military camp. His military career has made him used to living in the barracks, but he has no interest in the colorful Jiangnan.

In order to make himself comfortable, when his father rewarded him with this palace, Zhu Gaoxu ordered people to transform it into a military camp.For example, there are no bookshelves in his study, but a huge sand table instead, and pictures of the mountains and rivers of Annan and Mobei are hung on the two walls.In the middle is a huge and handsome case, in addition to the four treasures of the study and the pen holder and paperweight, there are also the sword and gold seal bestowed by the emperor... that is the seal of the governor of the capital given to him by the emperor, except for the 26 relatives directly under the emperor Wei, and the rest of the Ming army are under its control.

All these arrangements are interpreting the power and prestige of this prince. When he sat down behind the handsome case, several confidant generals knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.After waiting for orders to get up, Zhu Gaoxu asked a few words about the preparations for the battle, and then ordered all the generals to retreat, leaving only his confidant Mei Qing, and asked in a low voice: "What happened to Li Baoer?"

Meiqing is in her 40s, with three long beards and long narrow eyes. She looks like a man of scheming and capable people. There are still eight people alive, as long as the prince helps him to kill these people, his life will be the prince's..." He took out a scroll from the boot leaf, unfolded it and presented it to the King of Han.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the list, and said angrily: "This eunuch really has an inch! At the beginning, he said that as long as those few people are eliminated, he will sell his life to the lonely!" He said bitterly: "It's easy for others to say , Tan Qing is the governor, and Mandu is all in command, so how can he easily harm him?!"

"At this time and at that time, he is now a high-ranking horse supervisor," Mei Qing said softly: "Naturally, life is more important." She persuaded softly: "And he is responsible for protecting the grandson this time, a rare commodity to live in. , of course it’s going to cost a lot.”

"Hmph, he's sure I'm sure!" Zhu Gaoxu snorted. In all fairness, those generals were loyal to him, and he absolutely didn't want to cut his own wings.But this time Zhu Zhanji will also go on an expedition to the desert, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rid of this guy, and he doesn't want to miss it—a blind person can see that Zhu Zhanji is the guarantee of Zhu Gaoxu's crown prince.Zhu Gaoxu believed that the reason why the emperor was unwilling to change the prince was because of the existence of Zhu Zhanji.So after getting rid of Zhu Zhanji, what is there to miss about the boss?He will definitely be thrown away like a shoe!

Although the third brother has a plan to deal with the boss, Zhu Gaoxu thinks that plan is too troublesome, and there is no way to say how effective it will be.He is a general at heart, and he is more used to solving problems directly - let the person who caused the trouble disappear from the world, and the trouble will naturally disappear with it!
Calm down, Zhu Gaoxu naturally thinks clearly about the pros and cons... Tan Qing and Man Duli's lives are valuable, but they are not as good as Zhu Zhanji's in case. This deal is a huge profit, so why not do it?The big deal is that they will provide generous pensions to their families in the future.They sacrificed for their great cause, and they deserved to die. How could Gu forget them?

After making up his mind, Zhu Gaoxu said in a muffled voice: "Tell Li Bao'er, I'm alone! But there are a few, I can't do anything now. When it comes to the battlefield, I will find a chance to let them die for the country..." After a pause, he said in a dark voice: " Tell him not to wait, get ready for Gu, if that kid can come back alive, Gu must chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"

"Yes." Mei Qing responded and left.

In the study room, Zhu Gaoxu was the only one left, holding a candlestick to examine the sand table, under the light of the candle, his heroic face looked eerie and terrifying.
