The mother of Zhu Gaoxu and others was canonized as the queen, and within a few days, the heroes of the "Jing Martyrdom" were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and many people were awarded the title of duke, marquis, and uncle. Only the emperor's children have not entered the seal for a long time, and Zhu Gaoxu and others are still the first-level titles of county kings and county lords.

The prince is usually relatively idle, and he can't take care of all the civil and military affairs of the court. Unless summoned by the emperor, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't even have to go to the daily court. Most of the time, it can be said that there is nothing to do.

…… The king of Gaoyang County didn't cause anything in Beijing for a few months, and he didn't hear of a murder, and all the ministers felt very happy. It is rumored that because of lust, the newly acquired beautiful little nun, the Qinglou courtesan, a few robbed folk girls and others have been prostituting in the house all day long, and they have no time to cause trouble. After the subjects whispered about the king of Gaoyang, they went home and warned their wives and daughters not to approach the streets of the palace of the king of Gaoyang.

However, occasionally in the court, Zhu Gaoxu would go to Fengtianmen to worship, so that he could do something serious and not be so homely.

On the first day of May, Zhu Gaoxu went again. When he arrived at Fengtianmen, he saw that his eldest brother was also there, and the two brothers exchanged a few words.

Zhu Gaoxu chatted with acquaintances Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Wu, etc., to learn about the recent major and minor events of the imperial court.

When the emperor arrived, the courtiers who were standing in chaos talking to each other in the imperial gate lined up on both sides, waiting to bow and bow.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu found that many heroes and generals were looking at a person in front of him, and people were unhappy and even angry. The person that the military general was looking at was the first among the military ministers, and it was actually Li Jinglong!

Li Jinglong was originally the prince of the country, and after opening the Waijinchuan Gate, now there is even more like a rising tide. Maybe he didn't look back at everyone's expressions, or maybe it was something else, Li Jinglong stood there with his head held high, looking very proud.

When the emperor sat on the throne, everyone saluted, and the ceremonial music was played according to the rules.

After the ceremony, when the eunuch said, "There is something to start and nothing to retreat from the court", the prince Zhu Gaochi stood up, bowed down and said: "The son has something to play." ”

"Say." The Emperor's voice said.

Shizi said: "Erchen thinks that Fang Zhongyi, the assassin of Shi Jingqing, was not surnamed Fang, not the son of Fang Xiaoru, and his adopted son is really a slave. The court should not implicate the head of the family for the sin of slavery. Please forgive me a little bit of mercy from my father......"

As soon as the prince spoke, there was immediately a lot of discussion in the imperial gate. Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay attention, and was immediately surprised...... The son of the world is very timid, why is he so bold today that he dares to say against his father's will?

But Zhu Gaoxu thought about it for a while, and felt that it seemed reasonable: someone must have given advice to the prince. To intercede for Fang Xiaoru is to give face to all the scholars in the world, which is buying people's hearts!

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to observe the officials who were talking a lot, and sure enough, many of them were still nodding frequently while talking. Now the reputation of the son of the world is even better!

At present, the division of the prince, the prince, and the princess has not been decided for a long time, and the eldest brother, as the eldest son, is also working very hard, he has no choice but to get off the stage.

Who gave him the idea? Zhu Gaoxu's first thought was the monk Yao Guangxiao! Although Yao Guangxiao has rarely died in the prince's mansion since his father ascended the throne, his two henchmen, Jin Zhong and Yuan Heng, have been very diligent in the prince's mansion.

Moreover, on the first day that the "Jingnan Army" entered Beijing, Yao Guangxiao pleaded with Fang Xiaoru and tried his best to prevent his father from killing Fang Xiaoru, so that Fang Xiaoru could be imprisoned in the edict and has not been executed to this day. Now Yao Guangxiao is plotting to let the prince continue to persuade him, which should also kill two birds with one stone, while helping the prince, he can also do his best for Yao Guangxiao's own ideas.

The superior was silent for a while, and Zhu Di's voice said: "You step down, the court has its own opinions." ”

"The retainers obey." Shizi bowed, and Shane stepped aside. He didn't insist, he only asked for love, no matter what the result was, everyone in the world would accept his love.

Zhu Di said in a voice: "Li Jinglong, I heard that you were in charge of judging the "Taizu Record" before, and you went to the Hanlin Academy in the past two days to continue to do this. ”

Li Jinglong suddenly bowed and said: "The minister's decree, thank you for your grace!" The minister will do his best to live up to his mission! ”

Today, he actually asked Li Jinglong, a military general known as "both civil and military", to repair books, maybe Li Jinglong is really interesting...... The matter of Xie Jin a while ago may have made Jinshang feel that it is very unreliable to only hand over the book to civil officials.

The emperor has said many times in public that his biological mother is Taizu Xiaoci Gao Empress Ma. That Xie Jin actually had to find the file archive to check, this is too much, the emperor himself can't remember who he was born, and what he said in person can still be wrong?

When Zhu Gaoxu saw this scene, he couldn't help but say in his heart: I'm afraid that the ancient court is like this, and what the center really wants to do is never said openly and openly, and it depends on guessing and understanding. Although one of the plaques hanging in the court said Zhengda Guangming, it was useless.

……

After the early dynasty, Zhu Di reviewed the chapters and met with the ministers, and he was busy until noon, and he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea. So after lunch, exhausted, he looked for a room behind the royal gate, and lay down to take a nap.

In a daze, Zhu Di had a dream.

At first, he didn't know it was a dream, thinking that he had woken up from his nap and was walking to the palace hall, but he felt that something was not right.

The temple and the dragon chair were all familiar to him, but the smoke on the main hall was heavy, as if it was foggy at night, and it seemed that it was early in the morning. The faint blue light and the white mist on the ground made him feel chills all over his body.

It's like the palace of Hades!

At this moment, several people came in the fog. When Zhu Di saw it, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and it was actually Taizu and Emperor Jianwen who walked in front!

Emperor Jianwen said: Imperial grandfather, it was the fourth uncle who robbed me of the throne.

Taizu glared at Zhu Di angrily: Come down, that position is not for you to sit!

Emperor Jianwen said: Did you hear the words of the emperor's grandfather, hurry down! You are not qualified to sit on the throne, it should be mine.

Zhu Di wanted to refute, but it was difficult for me to listen to the ancestral teachings of Taizu. But he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, and he was very uncomfortable.

At this moment, two more people came over, one was his eldest son Zhu Gaochi, and the other was his second son Zhu Gaochu.

A group of civil and military ministers came behind, and when the civil officials saw Zhu Gaochi, they knelt on the ground, only worshipping Zhu Gaochi, and one sang the praises of merit and virtue and said that Gao Chi was generous, benevolent, and good! Everyone even ignored him Zhu Di!

Zhu Di was furious and wanted to say: I am still sitting on the throne, what do you mean? Blazing! I just sat in this position, and my ass is not hot yet, what are you anxious about?

But he was still speechless.

The second son, Gao Xu, came over, and Gao Xu suddenly pulled out a sword and said: Father, I have so much credit, I fought all over the world, and I still don't give up the throne?

Zhu Di was already furious, pointing at Gao Xu while retreating, and his son actually pointed at Lao Tzu with a weapon? Do you want to rebel, it's the other way around!

...... "Someone! Zhu Di sat up suddenly.

"Emperor, the slaves and maids are here." A voice came to my ears.

Zhu Di opened his eyes and saw that the sunlight was pouring in from between the window lattices, and the surroundings were quiet. Where is the fog? The bunch of people just now, not a single one is gone. There were only a group of eunuchs and palace maids standing in front of them.

Zhu Di took a deep breath and immediately understood that he was dreaming just now.

"Summoning Hu Hu to see me!" Zhu Di immediately made an order.

A eunuch said, "The slave and maid receive the order." With that, he walked backwards to the door of the room, then turned around and walked out quickly.

That Hu Hu was originally the household department of the Jianwen court, and after the Jingnan army entered the city, he took the initiative to vote, and secretly reported to the emperor: the main record monk Pu Qia entered the palace on fire in the Fengtian Temple, and it was suspected that Pu Qia responded to Emperor Jianwen and helped Emperor Jianwen escape.

Zhu Di paced around the room with his hands behind his back, when the eunuch Zheng He entered.

Zhu Di suddenly said again: "I heard that Zhang Fu's sister is very beautiful? ”

Zheng He was stunned for a moment and said: "Although the slave maid has never seen it, she has indeed heard of it, and the sister of Xinanbo (Zhang Fu) is beautiful and fragrant, and she is wise and knowledgeable. ”

Zheng He's expression was a little weird, because he seemed to know something...... During the Jingnan War, Jinshang verbally promised to ask Zhang Fu's sister to be a side concubine to the prince. Because the time for filial piety has not yet arrived, no one has mentioned this matter.

And I heard that Zhang Fu's sister seems to be very average......

But Zheng He is an interesting person, whether he knows about it or not, he definitely doesn't know it now.

"Hmm......" Zhu Di nodded after hearing this, and continued to walk back and forth in the room.

After a long time, a eunuch said: "My lord, Hu Hu was summoned to meet in the matter." ”

"Let him come here to meet me." Zhu Di said.

Not long after, Hu Hu came to the room that Zhu Di casually found, and he knelt down first, and only then stood up after receiving the holy decree of "flattening".

This Hu Hu is a young man in his twenties, born as a jinshi. Zhu Di was also a little suspicious that this young man deliberately told Pu Qia in order to drill the camp to get on the throne.

But it is also possible that Hu Hu told the truth, after all, the courtiers only knew that Emperor Jianwen had "self-immolated", and no one said that Emperor Jianwen had run away. Hu Hu insisted that Emperor Jianwen ran away, and he was speaking in front of the emperor, and he probably knew something inside.

"Pu Qia hasn't confessed yet?" Zhu Di asked directly.

Hu Hu bowed and said: "Back to the saint, Pu Qia's confession is unknown, and there has been no progress yet. The minister did not dare to use torture, because Pu Qia had an old relationship with a certain monk, and the minister had to be cautious when he learned about it. Besides, Pu Qia is the only clue at present, and I am afraid that he has three longs and two shorts, so this matter is even more tricky. ”

"You're talking about Yan?" Zhu Di asked.

Hu Hu was silent for a moment, not daring not to answer, so he hugged his fists and said, "Exactly." ”

Zhu Di asked, "Did Dao Yan greet you?" ”

Hu Hui said: "Back to the saint, no. ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Di made a noncommittal sound from his nose again. After a while, he said again: "It's not just Pu Qia. Ma is still in the palace, I asked someone to change her place, you can go in and out to ask. ”

Hu Hui said: "The minister understands. ”

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Go, hurry up, don't procrastinate too much." ”

Hu Hui hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is grateful for his retirement." ”
