Xia Xun followed Li Jinglong's housekeeper to the Cao Guo Mansion, and there were two people in brocade clothes standing at the door of the Bei Mansion, they did not prevent the people of the Cao Guo Mansion from entering and leaving, but the cold eyes of the two snakes would coldly look at everyone who entered and exited, making people involuntarily feel chills in their hearts

Further inside, I saw that there were Jinyi guards guarding the gates, and now Li Zengzhi was on trial, and as his brother, Li Jinglong was now under control. Originally, Xia Xun thought that Li Jinglong's so-called desperate food was an illusion, but now it seems to be true, if he eats secretly, or someone secretly sends him some food, he is afraid that he will not be able to hide it from these Jinyi guards.

When I arrived at Li Jinglong's residence, I had already received the news inside, and when I entered the courtyard, several women came out, and when I saw Xia Xun, I knelt on the ground, crying and begging him for help. Now Xia Xun is a celebrity in front of the emperor, if he is willing to come forward, his master's life will naturally be saved.

These women are Li Jinglong's wife and a few concubines, and there is turbidity in the inside, and they are also crying with pear blossoms and rain at the moment, so they can't be pitied. The woman who was about ten years old and had a calm and stern appearance was Li Jinglong's main wife, and she couldn't care about her identity at the moment, so she knelt in front of Xia Xun and kowtowed repeatedly.

Xia Xun hurriedly helped him and said, "Madame, this is not the case, please get up quickly." ”

Asked Mrs. Li to get up, and asked several of Li Jinglong's concubines to get up, and asked, "Where is Cao Guogong now?" ”

Mrs. Li cried and said: "In the room, the old man was not strict with his brother, violated the law of the country, and was guilty of eating and drinking, and now it has been ten days. ”

Xia Xun raised his head, there were still two people standing at the door, Xia Xun waved his hand, and said to Mrs. Li: "Madam and all the ladies and daughters, please stay away, I will go to see Cao Guogong." ”

"Okay, thank you, thank you."

Mrs. Li is the sister of a big family, although she is at a loss because her husband is unable to eat, at this time the person has been invited, and she is still calm, and she is busy thanking her, and leading the women to withdraw from the courtyard.

Xia Xun walked forward alone, and when he arrived at the door, he looked at the two brocade-clothed guards, and the two of them actually recognized him, and hurriedly bowed down to salute: "People have seen Grandpa Guo." ”

Xia Xun frowned slightly, and asked, "Does the emperor have a will not allow Cao Guogong to eat?" ”

The corners of the two guards' mouths twitched, and they couldn't help but smile: "Returning to China, it is Cao Guogong's own opinion, and the emperor has not made such a will." ”

Xia Xun was stunned, nodded and said, "Can I go in and see him?" ”

The two guards said: "On the order of Lord Ji, before the facts of the case are known, we just control the Cao Guogong Mansion and prohibit Cao Guogong from leaving the mansion without permission. ”

The two guards flashed left and right, and Xia Xun opened the door and walked in.

The main hall was empty, Xia Xun looked left and right, stepped into the room on the right, and there were tables and chairs to paint the screen when he entered the room, and then bypassed the screen, that is, a carved draped large shelf bed with yellow pear, Li Jinglong wore a white robe, and lay straight on the bed, as if he had died of exhaustion, Xia Xun jumped, walked over quickly to pick up the curtain, and looked at it carefully.

Li Jinglong's eyes were closed, his chest rose and fell from time to time, and he didn't seem to be out of breath, Xia Xun put his mind at ease, sat down on the edge of the bed, and called softly: "Cao Guogong, Cao Guogong?" ”

Li Jinglong heard the shout, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly struggled to sit up, grabbed Xia Xun's arm, and tears welled up: "Auxiliary Guogong, auxiliary Guogong help!" Although, in the past, Jinglong had a lot of things, but since the end of Jianwen, Jinglong is willing to help His Majesty now, and in Jinling City, he has also provided a lot of military intelligence secrets for you, and please also ask the Auxiliary State Gong to read this little incense, don't save my life! ”

When Xia Xun was trapped in Jinan City by King Yan's soldiers, he had also seen many people who were starving to death, starving for ten days without water and rice, and the words could be so coherent unprecedented, don't be, this Li Jinglong's vitality is really prosperous enough, probably because he usually eats too many good tools, and his roots are relatively solid, but it can be seen that his face is gray, and the hand holding Xia Xun is also soft and cold, and he is indeed weak and weak.

To date, the person who has been hungry for the longest time is the Austrian Mihavik. In April 979, because of a traffic accident, he was imprisoned in the prison of the Government Mansion by the Austrian police, but the police forgot about it in a blink of an eye, so that he starved for 18 days in prison without water, and was found dying. If Xia Xun doesn't come today, I don't know if Li Jinglong will be able to break Mihavik's world record.

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Cao Guogong, don't worry, don't worry, the emperor has never ordered the food to be stopped,...... What does this do? ”

Li Jinglong didn't care about being ugly, and said gloomily: "Fu Guogong, don't lie in front of real people, and you know, what kind of tool is my brother, who will look for him?" Ji Gang caught him, and that was for me. The winged phoenix is not as good as a chicken, I, the prince of the country, is now in the eyes of the emperor, but I am not as important as him, can I not be afraid? ”

Li Jinglong sighed faintly and said: "I thought that I would take the initiative to stop eating and asking for sin, but the emperor knew about it, and he was not sure to be soft-hearted, so he let me go, who knows...... Trick ...... Defeating ......"

Xia Xun looked at his unkempt appearance, he hadn't eaten for many days, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help asking: "Now that the weather is hot, I won't eat for ten days, or I can still live, and I won't drink water for ten days, and Jing has survived?" ”

Li Jinglong said shyly: "If it's so hot and don't drink water, where is it, I will drink all the water inside and outside the house, all the water in the stable paste......"

Xia Xun asked, "Are you hungry now?" ”

Li Jinglong shook his head: "I don't feel it, it's just that I don't have the strength to ......."

Xia Xun felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.

Li Jinglong said: "I don't know what happened to the emperor, recently there have been a succession of military generals who are unfavorable, Mei Yuma died, Hu Yuma was imprisoned, Changxing Hou, Licheng Marquis ...... "Guogong, I, Li Jinglong, am loyal to the current emperor, and I have no other heart, what is implicating me, I really don't understand death, if the auxiliary Guogong refuses to save me, I Li Jinglong is really going to die, Guogong ......"

Li Jinglong was about to kneel on the ground.

Xia Xun said in his heart: "It's not because of my close relationship with those horses that I have attracted suspicion." But he couldn't come out of the words, Xia Xun held his body, frowned and thought, and said: "Don't ask anything, if you want me to save it, it's difficult!" But it's not difficult to save yourself! ”

Li Jinglong immediately perked up and asked in a trembling voice: "Guogong, I ...... How can I help myself? ”

Xia Xun said: "Now that my younger brother Li Zengzhi has been arrested, isn't it a crime that the emperor hasn't asked yet?" What kind of food do you have? I think...... I'm afraid Ji Gang didn't report to the emperor at all, if he really died, what if he died of a violent illness? Don't go hungry...... Eat some tools, nourish your spirit, tomorrow is the big court, put on the court clothes and go to the court, to the court, as long as you ......

Xia Xun bowed down to him, and Li Jinglong was stunned: "Seriously? Such...... So that I can escape? ”

Xia Xun smiled slightly and said, "If Brother Li believes me, he will do what I say!" ”

"Good, good!" Li Jinglong trembled and fell to the ground, and was about to kneel down for Xia Xun: "The grace of Fu Guogong to save his life, he will not forget it!" As long as Jinglong gets rid of this difficulty, but in the future, Li Jinglong will never shirk, if he violates this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

Xia Xun really let him kneel, hurriedly picked him up, and said: "Guogong must not make this big gift, lie down quickly, and eat some tools quickly is serious."

Li Jinglong listened, his stomach and intestines that had stopped being active for many days were peristalsis, and he was really a little hungry, he was trembling and about to shout, Xia Xun chuckled and instructed: "By the way, don't eat for many days...... When you don't eat too much, first ask your wife to cook some gruel, and then drink a cup of ginseng soup to make up for it, and wait for a little slowdown to eat more tools, otherwise the dignified Ming Guogong, eat tools to die, and it is difficult to go down in history! ”

Xia Xun's idea to Li Jinglong was to write to the emperor and ask for the crown prince.

Qiu Fu went north in gloom and left the center of power. But Xia Xun is now in full swing, and he has made a "brother-in-law" with the emperor, and many neutral courtiers feel that this is a signal, and the emperor looks at the signal of the great prince Zhu Gaochi again.

And Xu Yuhuizu, Geng Bingwen, Mei Yin and others were dismissed, implicating a large number of military generals, who is Zhu Gaochi's team? It is mainly a person from the civilian official group, and his strength in the military generals is only a handful, so far, it is only a few people such as Xia Xun, Xu Jingchang, Chen Xuan, etc., among these people, Xia Xun and Xu Jingchang are not moved, and their current status is as stable as a rock, Chen Xuan is also like a fish in water in Xidong, and most of the officials who have been implicated have intersections with Zhu Gaochi's faction.

Even if it is an official who is not implicated, at this outlet, he does not dare to show his face and do more, is there a better opportunity than at this time to instigate the establishment of tomorrow again? Don't look at Li Jinglong's vice-president's unfavorable morality, but in the past, Cao Guogong's line was only the power of the Ming Dynasty to boast about the Zhongshan Palace, but this time the opponent is the emperor, so he will be so miserable, pull him over, let him act as the vanguard of Liming, it will be a big help.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu's faction is seriously injured, self-protection is especially insufficient, the courtiers are involved in the establishment of tomorrow, they dare not wantonly attack, Li Zengzhi is now in the hands of Jinyiwei, and Ji Gang is actually Zhu Gaochi's person, once Li Jinglong becomes the vanguard of the crown prince, Ji Gangbao is too late to protect him, will he still treat him?

Yes, Xia Xun only pushed this hand, not only saved Li Jinglong, but also caused changes in all aspects.

Of course, Xia Xun dared to make the judgment that as long as Li Jinglong took the initiative to take the lead in establishing the prince, he would definitely be safe and sound, and the main reason was the attitude of Emperor Yongle. The outbreak of Xu Yuhuizu and Geng Bing's copywriting has made Zhu Di alert to the harm of competing for the crown: there are too many ill-intentioned people, and the crown prince has not been decided for a long time, which will become a major factor in the instability of the imperial court. What's more, Zhu Gaoxu's various expressions made Zhu Di very disappointed, and now Zhu Pang should switch from defending to fighting back!

When Xia Xun left Cao Guogong's mansion, he was smiling and relaxed, and he had a heavyweight like Cao Guogong to be the pioneer in tomorrow's affairs, so that he could prepare for marriage, marry the bride, spend honeymoon together, and live together. Family affairs and state affairs have to be taken into account, the kind of model worker who "controls the water for nine years, passes through the door and does not enter the mother to give him a big fat ......", he doesn't want to be, hehe......
