Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was in poor health and had been ordered to go to Beijing to recuperate; He had a mansion in Jingshi, and now he lives in his own house.

The Gu family has not lived in Jingshi for a long time, and this mansion looks like a barren and ruined mansion, but now it is in line with Gu Cheng's situation. The Holy Lord sent the imperial doctor and some slaves and maids to take care of his daily life and recuperate, so Gu Cheng's surroundings were almost all people from the court.

He understood that he should be under house arrest.

Gu Cheng, who is seventy-eight years old this year, has a relatively open view of his life and death; He didn't care too much about falling into such a field. But he was still very angry, and it was Zhang Fu who was angry!

Zhang Fu spoke very well in Yunnan, and he would definitely speak for Gu Cheng in the court. But what did Zhang Fu say? He directly wrote in the recital that the burning of the Guizhou army's military rations was very strange. implies that Gu has become a family protector, or has an affair with King Han!

Every time Gu Cheng thought of this, he felt a kind of annoyance of being played!

Gu Cheng thought that Zhang Fu didn't need to do that at all, and it had no effect except to humiliate him. Because even if Zhang Fu doesn't lie to him, he will still be edicted.

Life is seventy years old, Gu Cheng is seventy-eight years old, and he has never thought of changing the façade again; When a person reaches such an age, what can he keep besides his posthumous name?

Recently, Zhang Fu also returned to Beijing. Gu Cheng heard the slave talk about it, but he didn't want to make friends with Zhang Fu at all.

…… The British public Zhang Fu is only thirty-three years old, but he is about to become a grandfather.

Not long ago, Zhang Fu, who was still in the Nanning Mansion of Guangxi's political envoy, received a holy decree asking him to return to Beijing immediately to report on his work. Zhang Fu quickly returned to Jingshi, and had just arrived three days ago. At this time, he was standing inside the Fengtian Gate, quietly waiting for the emperor's summons.

Zhang Fu is very well-behaved and dressed as a national prince. He wore a crown of eight beams, a large hairpin crossed on his hat, mink fur and gold decorations, and a red robe with a blue edge and red on the inside and red outside, and stood respectfully at the royal gate with an ivory wat in his hand.

I don't know how long it took, a eunuch hurriedly walked into the royal gate and bowed to Zhang Fu: "Zhang Guogong, the noble concubine Niangniang gave birth to the prince successfully!" ”

Zhang Fu's face showed a slight joy, but it was not easy to be noticed, and he immediately bowed to the north and said, "Congratulations to the Holy One!" ”

Zhang Fu bent over, and saw a eunuch coming over in the afterglow, and as soon as the man spoke, it was a crisp female voice: "The Holy Lord summoned the British Duke to discuss matters in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, please stop." ”

He raised his head and took a look, and immediately recognized her as the maid nightingale next to his daughter Zhang Miaohua. She was wearing a robe and a scarf, so Zhang Fu didn't see it clearly just now and thought she was a eunuch.

Zhang Fu was surprised and curious, but he didn't recognize the nightingale at all, as if he didn't know each other, and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

He followed the maid in the house, passed through the three major halls, and entered the Qianqing Gate. A eunuch at the head of the inclined corridor greeted him and led Zhang Fu straight to the Dongnuan Pavilion. At this time, Emperor Zhu Gaochi had already arrived, and he stood rarely, holding a copy of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" in his hand. In addition to the emperor, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was also present.

Zhang Fu first saluted the emperor, and after getting the permission to "flatten his body", he hugged his fists and saluted Xu Huizu. Xu Huizu smiled kindly, and then returned the salute with a fist.

"What's the name of the third prince?" Zhu Gaochi said casually while flipping through the book.

The generations of this generation of princes, according to the rules of Emperor Taizu, should take the soil. There are many descendants of the clan, and the commonly used words next to the soil are limited, so it is indeed not easy to choose a name. Zhang Fu and Xu Huizu both said, "Please make a decision." ”

Zhu Gaochi walked back to the back of the imperial case, put the book down, and the person also sat on the chair, "That's it, I'll think about it later." Sit down, there is a stool beside you. ”

The two princes were busy thanking the emperor.

Wei Guogong decided that Gao Xu would inevitably take the initiative to attack, and also thought that the place was Huguang. Why does the UK think so? Zhu Gaochi asked.

Zhang Fu thought for a while and replied, "The minister seconded the proposal." However, whether the rebel king will attack Huguang or not, the minister does not dare to completely determine. The traitor is often like a soldier who is dangerous and does not follow common sense, but he is very meticulous and not without reason. ”

Zhu Gaochi groaned and nodded slightly.

The burly Xu Huizu said angrily: "After Gao Xu won two lucky victories, the generals in the army will inevitably look up to him. ”

Zhang Fu quietly turned his head and glanced at Xu Huizu, but did not refute.

In his heart, Zhang Fu was quite disgusted with Xu Huizu, but he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with Xu Huizu face to face. Not to mention the current Gozen.

Zhang Fu's father, Zhang Yu, whom Zhang Fu had respected and relied on, was killed by the officials and soldiers of the Jianwen Dynasty in the "Battle of Jingjing". At that time, Zhang Fu's father was covered in blood holes, and he could hardly find a piece of intact skin, which was miserable! And this Xu Huizu was the death of the Jianwen Dynasty back then. So Zhang Fu didn't like this person from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huizu changed his body and gained trust in front of Emperor Hongxi again.

In addition to the old grudges, Zhang Fu also thinks that Xu Huizu may be his political enemy!

Wu Gao, the defeated general of 'Jing Nan', was able to re-command the army again. If there is no imperial relative like Xu Huizu in the court, it is unlikely that Wu Gao can still lead the army?

What did Xu Huizu do behind his back? Zhang Fu has been away from Beijing for too long, and it is still unclear. But he already smelled it, and I'm afraid things are not so simple.

Now Zhang Guifei gave birth to the prince and reminded Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu had stood at the imperial gate for a long time before, and finally guessed some possibility...... Xu Huizu may have allies.

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a while just now, and then he spoke: "The British princess will tell me your opinion." ”

Zhang Fu hugged his fists and said: "When the minister marched into Yunnan, he caught some prisoners. The minister interrogated the captives and learned that the rebel king had set a rule, and the military households were paid military salaries and food on a monthly basis. It seems that the traitorous king is buying the hearts of the army at any cost, so that the soldiers will rebel for it!

Raising soldiers is the most expensive food, and the rebel king now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers; With the population of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, the traitor is scraping the ground, and he can't hold it for a long time. Therefore, the minister agreed with what Wei Guogong said, and the traitorous king should take the initiative to attack. ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "It makes sense, the British duke's statement is credible." So which path do you think Gao Xue will take? ”

Zhang Fudao: "The minister does not dare to make arbitrary judgments.

Yichen's knowledge of friendship with the traitorous king during the battle of Annam, the traitorous king's martial arts are outstanding, but they cannot be compared with fierce generals; On the contrary, he is very good at weighing the pros and cons and is calculating. The rebels attacked from the southwest, including Hanzhong in the north and Jingzhou in the east, and the rebels did not benefit much from weighing the pros and cons. Therefore, the minister guessed that the most likely route for the rebels was to enter Huguang Road to Changde, or attack Huguangjiangxi and other places from Guangxi. ”

Zhu Gaochi listened very carefully, and was obviously very interested in Zhang Fu's views. Xu Huizu didn't say a word at this time, at least on the surface, he seemed very cultivated.

"Although I am brothers with Gao Xu, I have never fought with Gao Xu." Zhu Gaochi said, "What other opinions does the British Duke have on Gao Xu's use of troops, continue. ”

Zhang Fu pondered for a moment and said, "The traitor has his way of using soldiers. The ministers could only think about it according to the rumors of the rebel king's previous troops in the 'Battle of Jingnan', and the observations and hears of the ministers in the battle against Annam, and could not find out completely. The minister only has some private opinions.

In that year, the Hu army of Annan divided its troops to build long fortifications to defend against the advance of the Ming Dynasty's division; The traitorous king sneered at Hu more than once. In particular, the rebellion against the king is the only way to completely change the situation.

Now that the rebel king has raised an army to rebel, the morale of the officers and rebels is not as important as resisting foreign invaders, and the victory or defeat is more important; Whoever rebels against the king will fight. Therefore, the minister believes that the key to this rebellion against the king is to fight head-on with the official army. I am afraid that he does not want to avoid the main force of the official army, but will go all out to arrange the battle. ”

Zhu Gaochi immediately asked: "What is the strategic proposition of the British public?" ”

Zhang Fudao: "The minister thinks that the imperial court also has to win a big war in order to completely decide the situation and truly quell the rebellion in the southwest." Originally, the ministers did not advocate taking the initiative to attack the southwest, but now the rebel king is very likely to attack, and the official army can no longer avoid it. What's more, if we fight in Guangxi, Huguangjiang, Jiangxi and other places, the right time and place will be far better than encircling and suppressing the three southwestern provinces. ”

He took a breath and made up his mind to say, "The upcoming big war is equally important for the officials and soldiers of the imperial court!" We don't have to worry too much about the gains and losses of the city, but we should win the decisive battle and cut off the main force of the rebels! ”

Zhu Gaochi groaned for a while after hearing this, and then turned his head to look at Xu Huizu, with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.

Xu Huizu bowed at this time and said: "The British public is all right. However, the British Duke had fought side by side with Gao Xue many times before, and the ministers heard his words, and the British Duke may have been deeply influenced by Gao Xu, and often followed Gao Xu's method of using troops. ”

Zhang Fu heard some harsh words, but he still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, bowed down and said: "Although the traitor king is a clan, and he betrays his brother and commits the following crimes, his virtue is at a loss; However, his martial arts strategy is rare in the world, and his ministers cannot be taken lightly. As a military minister, the minister attaches great importance to the art of war, so there is no need to bully the king. ”

Zhu Gaochi sat on the throne and looked down at the file on the imperial case, and did not speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have thought carefully and said: "The British prince doesn't have to go back to Guangxi, I will choose another good general to go south and take over your military power." The vast army of Huguang is the main force of the official army, and you will go to Huguang after a while...... After I have discussed the strategy with the minister, you will be ordered to leave Beijing. ”

Zhu Gaochi said, paused for a moment, looked at Zhang Fu and said earnestly: "I have high hopes for the British public. ”

Zhang Fu bowed and said: "The ministers are grateful!" I will not dare to take on the heavy responsibility of the saint, and I will not hesitate to die with my liver and brain! ”

Xu Huizu looked sideways slightly from the side, looking at Zhang Fu coldly, but he did not dissuade the saint. Otherwise, it is easy for the two to quarrel on the spot, and it is really a loss of identity.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand. Zhang Fu said goodbye, walked backwards to the next door, and then straightened up and turned around and walked out the door.

But after Zhang Fu walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Xu Huizu stayed inside and did not come out with him. Zhang Fu walked through the inclined corridor under the guidance of the eunuch, and looked back at the Dongnuan Pavilion again, but still no one came out.
