In the early morning of summer, the sound of birdsong is heard in the dawn of the day.

Zhu Gaoxu got up from the room where he lived, and it was a little difficult to get up, and he really didn't sleep well last night. The bed had become empty, and of course Eun Hui did not stay overnight, otherwise it would be very bad if she was seen at dawn.

He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, found a few strands of hair, and twisted them with his fingers.

At first, Zhu Gaoxu was not so affectionate towards Enhui. The first meeting saved her life, and what was generated was subtle sympathy and favorability; His mind is so strange, although it is his salvation wisdom, but in turn he has a good feeling, probably because he knows, the other party will be grateful to him, right? The good intentions between people are actually mutual. Later, Enhui quietly told Zhu Gaoxu the secret of the authentic truth, which helped him a lot! He was also very grateful for his kindness. came and went, and the affection gradually deepened.

And when exactly he started to think about it, he can't tell. Maybe the favor and affection have reached a certain point, and I always want to find a breakthrough in sublimation. There is nowhere to find, only such a wronged skin kiss.

When Zhu Gaoxu left, he turned his head to look at Enhui's closed room.

The eunuch Wang Gui asked cautiously, "Did the slave and maid go and ask the lady to get up and bid farewell to the emperor?" ”

"No need." Zhu Gaoxu said, he vaguely saw a shadow behind the window curtain.

He stood in the courtyard and waited for a while, and when he saw that the door was not moving, he said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked out of the Moon Cave Gate and saw Shen Xu in a corridor. After saluting, they didn't say much to each other, and walked down the corridor to the place where the carriage had been parked yesterday.

Shen Xu said: "The concubine sent the saint out." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and said, "You also get in the car, and get off when you get to the door." ”

Shen Xu curtsied and said, "Yes." ”

It's still Wang Gui who is driving the car. There were two people sitting in the carriage, but today's woman was replaced by Shen Xu.

Shen Xu had a smile on his face, and suddenly said in a joking tone: "Baoyan is also getting older, I'm afraid that no one dares to marry, and she will always be in her mother's house." ”

If it seems to be a joke, of course it's not all a joke, Zhu Gaoxu has gradually adapted to his status as an emperor. He had probably thought about this before, but he didn't care too much, he had seen Shen Baoyan two or three times, and he really didn't say a few words.

But since Shen Xu wanted to do that, and mentioned it twice, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he should still follow her wishes...... After all, the "battle of sin and crime" should not be postponed.

He pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "When I come back from the Northern Expedition, I will canonize Baoyan." ”

Shen Xu bowed and said, "The concubine is waiting for the victorious return of the saint." ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui took a carriage to Bei'anmen into the imperial city, and then walked around Xihua Gate to enter the palace. He went to the Rouyi Hall to change into a dragon robe, and stayed here.

After a short time, the eunuch Cao Fu walked in and stood inside the door. Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and glanced at him, and asked, "Cao Fu, do you have something to say?" ”

Cao Fu bent down, hurriedly walked up, bypassed the big table, walked to Zhu Gaoxu's side, leaned over and whispered: "Emperor, Huang Yan, the eunuch Huang Taiping sent to Beijing last time, just went to the central capital. ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Cao Fu said: "The slave maid is not very clear, Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian know about this matter first; If it weren't for the slave maid, a godson who heard them talking, he wouldn't know about it now!

Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian were in the study of the celebrant and quietly discussed things; It just so happened that one of the godsons recognized by the slave was passing by, and he squatted under the window and listened for a while. The two of them (Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian) were talking about Huang Yan, discussing how to implicate Huang Yan in hiding the matter of the abolished prince! to avenge Zheng He. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's brows furrowed, he immediately understood the relationship.

As early as when King Yan was in the palace, Huang Yan and Zheng He had always had a grudge, and Zhu Gaoxu knew it. Then Huang Yan's person Yang Qing bribed the great eunuch Haitao of the Hong Xi Dynasty, and mixed with the master of ceremonies as a young eunuch, and then slandered Zheng He, causing Zheng He to be killed! Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian soon devised revenge and sued Huang Yan and his party for instigating King Zhao to rebel!

The result was that Yang Qing died, but Huang Yan was still fine.

Zhu Gaoxu asked in a deep voice, "How did Hou Xian and the others discuss?" ”

Cao Fu said: "They decided not to make a move for the time being. Wang Jinghong and others finally believed that moving Huang Yan at this time might disturb King Zhao; It will add trouble to the emperor's northern expedition, which is not good for the overall situation! They were also thinking about the major events of the fleet's voyage to the West, and wanted to pledge allegiance to the Holy One in order to gain the support of the Holy One. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was still a little annoyed just now, but when he heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but praise: "Everyone has finally begun to take care of the overall situation." Cao Fu, are you speaking for Hou Xian? ”

Cao Fu hurriedly said: "The slave maid originally wanted to report the affairs of the emperor's capital, but when it comes to things elsewhere, she can only report it truthfully, how dare she lie in front of the emperor?!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu muttered: "Then what did Huang Yan send people to Zhongdu for?" He couldn't help but think, could it be that Gao Chi was burned to death, and Huang Yan's henchmen were involved? But it doesn't make sense, and the motive doesn't make sense!

"You go and call Hou Xian." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Cao Fu bowed and said: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

After waiting for a long time, Hou Xian, the young eunuch of the celebrant supervisor, arrived at the main hall of the Rouyi Palace. He stepped forward and bowed: "The slave and maid are ordered to meet you, and the emperor has no borders." ”

"Get up." Zhu Gaoxu said straightly, "I ask you, what did Huang Yan do when he sent people to Zhongdu?" ”

Hou Xian was shocked when he heard this, and he seemed a little afraid and a little happy for a moment. He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Emperor, the reason for the speculation of the slaves and maids is: Huang Yan heard what happened in Zhongdu, and he was afraid that someone in the palace would take the opportunity to calculate him, so he sent someone to see the limelight. Other than that, there seems to be no other reason. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded after hearing this: "Makes sense." ”

Hou Xian hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are really enmity with Huang Yan, but they don't dare to abolish the public for personal reasons, and spoil the emperor's big business!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu showed a smile and boasted: "I see that there are some ministers, and they don't understand things like you two. ”

The square-faced Hou Xian hurriedly bowed down and said: "The slave doesn't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said: "During the Yongle period, the envoys of the Western countries came to Beijing with the fleet to congratulate them, and they have lived for several years. The treasury provided food and drink, and they seemed to live quite comfortably, and no one had written to say they were leaving. I see that it is useless to raise so many people in vain, and after the northern expedition, I will send them back to their respective homes. In recent months, you, together with Wang Jinghong, have been in charge of repairing the ships on the Longjiang port. ”

Hou Xianxi said: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

……

The political envoy of Beiping, the eunuch Huang Yan in King Zhao's mansion is indeed panicked all day long!

He had just seen King Zhao and came out of the main hall, and the facial features on his face were about to wrinkle together.

Huang Yan did look away at Zhu Gaochu before, thinking that Zhu Gaochu was just a brave vassal king, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless and decisive! Just won the "Battle of Crime", and within a few months, the eldest brother's family was wiped out.

After King Zhao heard the wind, he was also frightened.

Huang Yan observed King Zhao for the past two days, and he didn't have the courage to resist at all...... The most terrible thing is that Huang Yan feels that King Zhao is becoming more and more cold to him, and seems to have plans to push him out of Huang Yan to show his loyalty?

In the summer, a sudden gust of wind blew, making Huang Yan tremble. He suddenly felt a chill.

There is a big enemy in the palace who is in power, and the maggots of the tarsal bones are staring at Huang Yan like a maggot, so that he is in danger of being cleared at any time! King Zhao, who has served in Beiping for many years, seems to only want to take care of himself when the catastrophe is coming, and it is very likely that he will stab him in the back and abandon Huang Yan!

Huang Yan returned to his residence and fidgeted and thought about it.

In the past, he instigated King Zhao to deal with Gao Chi, which seemed to be something that should not be done, because the most terrifying person was actually Zhu Gaoxu, the second brother of King Zhao! Now, Huang Yan feels that the situation is getting worse, as if there is a sharp sword hanging over his head, and he doesn't know when it will suddenly fall on his head.

Gradually, he seemed to understand that his long-standing grudge with Zheng He would end up with both of them dead; The ones who got cheap were the eunuchs such as Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian, and Wang Gui in the back.

Like a river, the back waves push the front waves.
