Chapter 161: Method
Zhu Zhanji was dragged back to the camp in Jinan in a state of confusion, until the King of Han came back from a battle in Jimo, and he did not eat or drink as if he was demented.
"Do you know what a misfortune you have caused?" Gao Xu threw away his horse's whip and sat down in the tent, his eyes fixed on him, and he snorted heavily in his nose.
Zhu Zhanji immediately came to his senses, "Second uncle, have those thieves been killed and retreated?"
"Killed," Gao Xu said, "but there are nearly 3,000 remnants of them, and they have fled to the mountains and forests! If it weren't for you today, I would have sent troops to fight them in a few days, and I wouldn't have let them escape!"
Zhu Zhanji didn't know that this was the truth, and he was suddenly ashamed of himself, and even the king of Han pointed to his forehead and reprimanded, but he was silent.
"Why don't you move your brain at all! Are you worthy of your imperial grandfather?" Gao Xu scolded: "Since you were a child, I have taught you by hand and selected good teachers for you;
"As a result, you," Gao Xu said: "Be discouraged, no matter whether the north is safe or dangerous, run to Shandong, why are you here, you are here to stir up the situation! I didn't help at all, but I was hindered everywhere! I originally expected this Jimo battle to be completed in one battle, but you took 600 people and were killed in a mess, but fortunately, I didn't know that it was the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty who was fighting against it, if you knew, where did you put your imperial grandfather's face? If I hadn't found out that you had run away, and hadn't brought someone to chase you, you would have been caught by them, and it would be so glorious to think about the first grandson of Daming to be caught by thieves!"
The more Zhu Zhanji listened, the more weak his heart became, and he said: "Second uncle, I won't let that group of thieves catch me, I've already made up my mind, it's a big deal to cut myself off! I will never let you and the imperial grandfather be embarrassed!"
"You really, you are really tough!" Gao Xu was so angry that he fell down: "You can say this! You are not ashamed enough! You have a kind of just go to your imperial grandfather and say it again, you have never seen him say cruel things to you before, let alone beat you, you wait, you will taste it immediately!"
Zhu Zhanji still has some confidence in the emperor, and he has not caused trouble, but no matter how big or small, he has been covered up by the emperor, even if he was angry at the time, he was entangled and coaxed by him for a while afterwards, and it was all right. But this time the matter was too big, if it was only the matter of bringing soldiers to kill the thief without permission and returning in vain, the emperor might not be to blame - because when the emperor himself was young, he was mixed in the army and wanted to go out to kill the enemy, but he was recognized by the Marquis of Yongcheng and quietly sent back. With this precedent, the emperor would scold him a few times at most, and punish him lightly or severely, which was nothing.
But he still has the greatest sin, he kills innocents indiscriminately!
Thinking of the more than 2,000 unarmed ordinary people who died under his hands, beads of sweat the size of beans suddenly rolled down Zhu Zhanji's head. King Han obviously noticed his strange appearance, and said angrily: "You are the emperor's grandson, and your status is noble, I can't tell you, anyway, I didn't listen to a word!"
Zhu Zhanji immediately denied it: "Second uncle, I didn't! I was really sad this time! I didn't do more than this, I ...... it."
King Han said, "What else have you done?"
Zhu Zhanji said in a hurry, he didn't hear an echo for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw King Han staring at him viciously: "You say it again?"
Zhu Zhanji was scared this time, no one could stand being stared at like this by King Han. He only felt the hairs on his back stand up: "Second uncle, I didn't mean to! They rushed out in a swarm and came in my direction, I didn't know for a while, so I ordered to kill it, and I found out that it was wrong later, but I couldn't shout, no one listened to me, everyone was crazy......
"You didn't find out until later?" Gao Xu said: "The common people are unarmed, dragging their children and daughters, and there is no resistance, and you only found out later?"
"At that time, I saw that they had mules," Zhu Zhanji whispered, "I thought the weapons were all hidden in the mule carts, but they didn't...... Second uncle, didn't you say that Jimo City was occupied by thieves, I thought it was ......"
"Do you think that the common people have run away, and only the thieves are left?" Gao Xu hated that iron could not become steel and said: "Our Zhu family, how can there be such a stupid person as you!"
"Then what should I do," Zhu Zhanji shrunk his neck and looked at King Han pleadingly: "Second uncle, if this matter is known by the emperor's grandfather, he will definitely not spare me!
"You still know the consequences, it seems that this incident has finally taught you a lesson," Gao Xu didn't scold him anymore: "You still expect this matter to be done, naturally report it to your imperial grandfather truthfully, and your father knows." ”
"Don't," Zhu Zhanji even grabbed Gao Xu's sleeve in a panic and begged: "Second uncle, you have to help me, you can't see your eldest nephew finished, if I am really finished, the imperial grandfather will also be angry with you, and you also have a responsibility that you can't escape!"
"Ah, that's what you think. Gao Xu smiled and said, "So I'm a pond fish, have you been affected?"
"That's not what I meant," Zhu Zhanji said hurriedly: "Second uncle, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, this time you helped me, and I will always remember my kindness Zhu Zhanji in my heart, and I will ...... in the future."
"Don't say anything about kindness, I expect you to repay any kindness," Gao Xu waved his hand and sighed: "It's also blame that I have been fighting for many years and have never been close to you......
Zhu Zhanji was shocked and said happily: "Second uncle, did you promise to help me?"
"You matter," Gao Xu said unhurriedly: "There are two solutions, I will tell you both, depending on which one you choose." ”
Gao Xu proposed two methods, the first is that Taisun led the troops to Jimo City, but suddenly saw so many people rushing out with mules and horses, because the first to rush out were young and strong, and the women and children were at the end, so he did not carefully screen, but thought that it was the thieves who rushed out to kill, but when he saw the women and children, he also thought that this was a trick used by the enemy, and did not realize that he had killed the wrong person. So in the blink of an eye, they were slashed completely.
The second way is to surrender by fraud, and there is an ambush inside and outside, which is seen through by the grandson and kills the person who surrendered, and the white lotus teaches people to be vicious, hiding the person who surrendered by fraud among the real people, and going out to meet the surrender. Taisun couldn't tell the difference, so he killed them cleanly.
Zhu Zhanji swallowed his saliva: "Second uncle, won't this second method be too shameless......
"You feel shameless, you can not choose. Gao Xu said: "The first way is also okay, after all, the situation on the battlefield is complex and ever-changing, you are only fifteen years old, young and inexperienced, and your imperial grandfather will not blame more." ”
"I'm sixteen," Zhu Zhanji said, "I won't blame more, I still have to blame...... I'll pick the second one. ”
"Okay," Gao Xu said: "Second uncle will sweep the tail for you, you can go back to Beiping with peace of mind, and the emperor will receive my report there." ”
When Zhu Zhanji retreated nervously, Chen Baiji walked out from behind the curtain: "Your Highness, it's really good that the grandson is loved by the emperor. ”
"My father often said, Brother Chun is like him, I don't see it, my father is eye-catching on him. Gao Xu glanced at him and said, "Is it all clean?"
"Of course," Chen Baiji said with a smile: "Taisun won't know that the thieves didn't capture Jimo at all, and only hid in the mountains around Jimo." There was chaos in the city because there were people who made a rebellion, and the people who made the rebellion, and the two thousand people, all died at the hands of the grandson, and there was no trace of it. ”
