Returning home from Xiaohongshan, Zhu Gaoxu walked past the wall and saw Professor Hou Hai. The two entered an inverted room, and as soon as Zhu Gaoxu sat down, he couldn't help but mutter: "He Fu, this person is a little interesting." ”

Hou Hai immediately whispered: "Lord Wang, the lower officials have inquired about more interesting mile ...... again."

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu raised his head, and then thought that Hou Hai and others should have something to say in the palace.

Hou Haihai took two steps forward and said in his ear: "He Fu has a younger brother named He Lu, who is no longer missing. The lower officials heard that Chen Ying had used this matter to impeach He Fu, but it did not work.

That Chen Ying did not give up, and found out that before the first month of the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, He Lu appeared in the Jingshi City, but as soon as the Jingnan army entered the city, he disappeared! Chen Ying therefore impeached He Lu for colluding with Jianwen's criminal ministers and plotting against him. It's just that he doesn't have credentials, and He Fu is still a good official now. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately asked, "He Lu's matter, the news is reliable?" ”

Hou Haidao: "How dare the lower officials talk nonsense in front of the prince?" ”

"Ho......" Zhu Gaoxu smiled and nodded slightly.

…… At this moment, Wang Gui came back from his errands, stood outside the door and bowed inside. Zhu Gaoxu glanced outside, Hou Hai also turned his head to look at the door, and immediately hugged his fists very consciously and said, "The lower official retires." ”

Wang Gui walked in, took out a purse and presented it, "The slave maid was ordered to go to Fengyang and got the things smoothly." ”

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu took it and put it in his sleeve pocket.

Wang Gui whispered again: "There are two people who have been following on the road, and the slave and maid have ignored him. ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened to it and muttered: "My father asked me to go to Yunnan to check people, Queen Ma is a clue, my father allowed me to contact her, and it doesn't matter if someone finds out." ”

When Wang Gui went to do important things, he almost always followed Zhu Gaoxu out of the city and made sure that he was not following before leaving. This time, I went straight out of the palace, and sure enough, someone was staring.

…… Jianwen's whereabouts have no clue so far.

Why did Zhu Di suspect that Jianwen went to Yunnan? The main thing is the relationship between the Mu family. Mu Sheng not only stood in the wrong position in the "Battle of Jingyan", and transferred Yunnan troops to reinforce the official army of the Jianwen Dynasty several times, but also had a marriage relationship with Geng Bingwen, who had been the general of Pingyan.

What's more, Mu Ying had a lifelong friendship with the prince Zhu Biao before, Zhu Biao died, and Mu Ying herself was sad and angry; And before Mu Sheng's ascension, he was often in Beijing, and he played with Zhu Yunwen since he was a child, and he also had a very strong relationship.

The Mu family and the Zhu Biao family are world friends, and the relationship can't be broken.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Ma Enhui again, he was in the northeast corner of Bei'anmen. Youji specially rebuilt a house for her and sent someone to serve her.

Walking into the living room in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu still stepped forward to salute: "Gao Xue has seen his cousin-in-law, don't come to your cousin-in-law?" ”

Time is indeed the best medicine, Ma Enhui is not as haggard as last time, this time she looks quite normal, wearing a light cyan skirt worn by ordinary people. She stood up and saluted back, "Thank you King Gaoyang for your concern." ”

The eunuch next to him reminded softly: "It's His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”

"Oh......" Ma Enhui's gaze swept over Zhu Gaoxu's face, and he changed his words, "King Han." ”

The look in her eyes was a little strange just now. After all, she is a person who has been a queen for a few years, maybe she can think of Zhu Gaoxu's failure to compete for the crown prince from the title of a Han king, right?

Zhu Gaoxu said to the eunuch just now: "You go out first, don't talk too much here, this king wants to say a few words to his cousin-in-law." ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave should die, the slave should die!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, but he did not close the door. Although the lonely man and widow are in the living room, it doesn't matter if the door is not closed.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here today mainly to say goodbye." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I have been crowned a prince, and I will leave Beijing for the vassal kingdom after a while." ”

When Ma Enhui heard this, sadness immediately shrouded her eyebrows. Zhu Gaochu faintly understands her feelings, the country is ruined, she is locked up alone in this place, and in the entire capital, I am afraid that only Zhu Gaochu is a relative of her.

"Where to go?" Ma Enhui's voice was a little choked. In ancient and modern times, as long as it is a parting, it is sad, but I didn't expect her to react strongly.

Zhu Gaoxu said truthfully: "Yunnan." ”

Ma Enhui didn't say anything more, her face was expressionless, and she didn't say any polite words such as a smooth journey.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu took out a purse from his sleeve pocket, which was something that Wang Gui brought back from Fengyang, and sent it with both hands. Ma Enhui caught it and looked up at him.

When she pulled the string, Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wen Gui cut his hair when he was one year old, and the eunuch in Fengyang said that the child's hair is thin and can't be long, and it can grow better after cutting it off." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said it lightly, as if he was talking about ordinary household routines.

But Ma Enhui's hands were trembling, and her emotions immediately collapsed, and tears flowed down her face. She held her purse, covered her nose and sniffed the smell vigorously, but there were many tears, and her shoulders twitched for a while.

The living room was quiet, Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking, and only suppressed sobs remained in the room.

After a while, Ma Enhui took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her face, just wiped it dry, and somehow began to cry again. After tossing three times in a row, she finally stopped.

Ma Enhui didn't say a word of thanks, but said: "If we hadn't cut the feudal domain before, everyone would have been in harmony, we would still be relatives, and we could move around from time to time......

Her tone seemed to be reminiscing about the past, like fantasizing, which made people feel a little sad to listen to.

Therefore, those who start the war lightly are never wise, and if they fail, they will have to be as remorseful and sad as she is now, maybe even worse!

Zhu Gaoxu responded: "Now we are still relatives. ”

Ma Enhui pondered for a while, and then said, "King Han, let me tell you a secret. ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly approached, and when he turned his head, his ears could feel the touch of Ma Enhui's exhalation. She said a few words in a very low voice.

"Oh!" Zhu Gaoxu listened and nodded suddenly.

Of course, she didn't say the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen and Prince Jianwen, after all, Prince Wenkui is also her son; Moreover, it is doubtful whether their whereabouts and Ma Enhui really know. But she said another thing that was also quite interesting, even the people of the Zhu family and Zhu Gaoxu didn't know before.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu said: "I will stay for a short time and take my leave." ”

Ma Enhui asked, "When will King Han return to Beijing?" ”

"It's hard to say." Zhu Gaoxu said quietly.

……

After being crowned King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu's mansion did not change much, and he went directly to the prince's mansion in Yunnan when he was a vassal prince. However, the personnel of the officials of the Prince's Mansion have begun to be arranged one after another; The size of the staff of the Prince's Mansion is not the same as that of the County Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu agreed to conquer Yunnan, which was already very obedient. Therefore, in the appointment of palace officials, he rarely had to bargain in front of his father, and his father was more accommodating to him in this matter.

Because he was going to the border to become a vassal, his father promised to give Zhu Gaoxu three escort troops, plus the number of honor guards and other people, a total of about 19,000 foot cavalry. Wang Bin served as the commander of the left guard, Wei Da served as the commander of the middle guard, and Liu Ying served as the commander of the right guard.

There are a total of 26 officials in the history department of the royal palace, and the official positions have gradually been filled. The left long history is called Qian Xun, and the right long history is Li Mo; Hou Hai changed the battle of the prince's mansion.

This Li Mo is the person Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to ask. Because Wei Da was in front of Zhu Gaoxu again and sought an official position for Li Mo...... When he was still in Beiping, Wei Da asked Zhu Gaoxu for help and let Li Mo pass the hereditary exam of 100 households, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't help, and this time he was really embarrassed to refuse.

Veda's daughter, who could have been a princess, is now only married to a thousand households in the court; Wei Da worked hard for Zhu Gaoxu in the "Battle of Jingjing", and this small request was not too much. Zhu Gaoxu has more or less a compensatory psychology for him.

However, Li Mo is a little interesting, his father is a hundred households, and he almost did not have a hereditary military position; Later, I don't know how to spend the money or do it, but the second hereditary exam finally passed. Now he doesn't want to be a military general, so he took the path of Veda and went to the prince's mansion to make a long history.

Zhu Gaoxu secretly asked Wang Gui, Hou Hai, Gao Xianning and others to investigate the newly appointed civil and military officials, but they did not find out what was going on.

But he wholeheartedly decided: The person appointed to the Han Palace's mansion this time must have the prince or someone's traitor!

Judging from Yao Guangxiao's method of arranging Yao Ji, Zhu Gaoxu thought that the spy might be hidden deeply...... After all, the exposed spies are of little use, so it is better to send individuals to spy on Zhu Gaoxu.

For example, the father sent Hu Hu in a bright and bright manner, and asked Hu Hu to go to Yunnan on a business trip with Zhu Gaoxu.
