Zhang returned to the Prince's Mansion and told Zhu Gaochi about Xu Miaojin's situation, repeatedly hinting that Miaojin's whereabouts had been unknown for half a year. But Zhu Gaochi was not interested.
Then Zhang said, "Tie Xuan of the Shandong Provincial Administration Office has not surrendered yet. Didn't the official document from the capital say that your father will lead troops to attack him? When your father returns to Beiping, the prince can follow your father to the capital."
Zhu Gaochi slumped on a couch, nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhang said kindly, "My Lord, when you arrive in the capital, don't forget those former officials who were unsuccessful in their duties."
Zhu Gaochi immediately said in a deep voice, "Are you dissatisfied with my father's satisfaction with me and think that things are not chaotic enough?"
Zhang said softly, "The Crown Prince is our father's eldest son. If he doesn't become the Crown P
The gray sky was covered with drizzle. The light between heaven and earth gradually dimmed, and the day was quietly coming to an end. But the tragedy of this fortified city that had been breached was not over yet.Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door of a mansion, looking into the depths of the long street. Occasionally, a woman's scream could be heard from afar, sounding particularly mournful in the misty drizzle.At this time, an old felt carriage drove to the door. Wang Bin walked up and said, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready.""Let's go." Zhu Gaoxu said.After he finished speaking, he and Wang Bin got on the felt cart one after the other. He stretched out his hand and patted the wooden board, and Chen Dachui in the front whipped the cart to drive it.The carriage slowly shuttled between the streets and alleys. Zhu Gaoxu lifted a corner of the curtain with his hand and looked at the scene outside in the dim light of the rain. After a while, he hear
Last year, Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to take the risk and go to the capital for others; doing so now is equally risky, but this is to find his own way.The place where Qu Neng and his son were imprisoned was a mansion. Today, Zhu Gaoxu took a car and took a walk around the mansion. He noticed the guards and there seemed to be fewer people at the door than last year. Perhaps the Jingnan Campaign had ended and the officials in Beiping had relaxed their guard.The whole world belongs to the king. The Jianwen court has fallen. Without the army, these military commanders have nothing to worry about. Just like Sheng Yong, he is now the general commander in Huai'an. After Ping An was sent to Beiping, he was said to be able to go out recently.But all this tolerance is obviously an illusion!According to Zhu Gaoxu's understanding of Zhu Di over the past few years, Zhu Di's temporary tolerance of Jianwen's generals was only to avoid making too many enemies at
It was just getting dark, lights were on everywhere but people were still awake. This was the time when the scenery was most prosperous.When Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the dining room, he heard a touching call, "Prince Gaoyang." He stopped and turned around, and saw Miao Jin quickly following him, so he turned around and saluted.Miao Jin said to the eunuchs beside her, "You go back and serve His Majesty. I will escort Prince Gaoyang out of the inner hall." The two eunuchs handed over the lanterns and said, "Yes."So Zhu Gaoxu and Miao Jin walked slowly towards the gatehouse of the inner hall, one behind the other. Miao Jin looked preoccupied, and his originally noble face now looked a bit sad.Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had thousands of words to say to her, including his apology for imprisoning her for a year, when she was released, Jingqing's surrender, etc., but for a moment, in the inner hall of Prince Yan's Mansion, he There is no way to start talking a
In the distance, the sound of wooden clappers could be heard, "It's midnight, three o'clock in the morning, everything is fine..."Zhu Gaoxu continued to sit in the dark for a long time, and finally stood up.He first took out a piece of incense from his cloth bag, then blew on the fire stick to light the incense, while turning his head to watch by the light of the fire. After the incense was lit, he held his breath, inserted the incense into the gap between the wooden tables not far away, and then covered the fire stick. He immediately walked out of the house and closed the door tightly.Zhu Gaoxu carried a cloth bag on his back and a high stool in his hand. He quietly groped his way out of the house, walking forward carefully, sticking close to the wall.Walking out of the alley, there was a lamp at the gate of the mansion in the distance, and the light was brighter. Zhu Gaoxu sometimes walked quickly, sometimes walked carefully, trying to stay in th
At daybreak, the streets were already full of people and there was a lot of noise. Many of them were from nearby areas, and they all ran out after hearing the shouts of fire. At this time, the fire was slow to put out, and the fire could easily spread and affect many nearby houses.Groups of soldiers in armor had blocked all the intersections, and the onlookers could not get close. There were some discussions in the crowd, "Is the fire out?" "I heard it's not out, many water trucks came and went, blocking the street over there..."The fire destroyed several houses nearby, but fortunately, before the fire spread, someone shouted and the people ran out of their houses. The worst-hit house was the one where Qu Neng and his son lived, with only the earthen walls left and the roof completely collapsed.Two officials were questioning a few embarrassed soldiers, when an old monk with triangular eyes stepped down from a gorgeous carriage. The officials came forward
In the chilly spring, the early morning in Peking was shrouded in a smoky mist, and the distant view was blurry.In the front hall of Prince Yan's Mansion, there stood a monk in a cassock, Yuan Gong in a sorcerer's robe, and Jin Zhong in a round-necked black gauze hat.Zhu Di, wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, walked up to the throne, turned around, and looked at the scene outside the hall thoughtfully.Yao Guangxiao stepped forward and clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, those two corpses were burnt to the point of being broken into pieces when touched. The poor monk went to check it out in person, but it was difficult to determine whether they were the bones of Qu Neng and his son. The poor monk thought that it was also the bones of Qu Neng and his son. Maybe there is someone outside to help, and Qu Neng and his son are not dead!""Who will support Qu Neng and his son?" King Yan asked.No one said a word in the hall for a while
In a trance, he recalled the old things in his previous life in the depths of his dusty memory. When he was a child, his Chinese was not very good, and he had a hard time writing diaries and essays every time. However, he soon found a routine, which was to pick a trivial thing at random, and then two villains appeared in his mind, representing the fight between good and evil... Although the good side won every time, the number of words was soon enough.Unexpectedly, he really became a contradictory person when he grew up. He was an introverted and precocious child in his childhood. When he grew up, he encountered injustices and became an angry young man.So sometimes he is very rational, calm and reasonable, and he admires those tall and graceful people. He also has many hobbies that make him feel good, such as growing flowers. But once he gets emotional, he tends to be extreme and violent.So when he knew that his girlfriend in his previous life was going t
There was a lot of activity in the front hall of the Prince of Yan's mansion, when a eunuch came over. He had a round, short face, high cheekbones, and was not very good-looking, but almost no one in the mansion dared to look down on him, because he was Zheng He, who had blocked arrows for the emperor in the Battle of Zhengcunba!Ji Gang and other Jinyiwei soldiers wore lavender round-necked robes and square scarves on their heads, dressed like ordinary followers."Greetings, Eunuch Zheng." Ji Gang clasped his fists.Zheng He also bowed slightly in return, and walked past the two rows of big men, looking at them one by one. Ji Gang said, "Eunuch Zheng, I have checked the ancestors of these people for eighteen generations! They are strong and have martial arts skills."After hearing this, Zheng He said in a deep voice, "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and the rebels are still there. You must be cautious and not let them take advantage of the s
