At first, the imperial historian Li Qi asked Zhu Gaoxu to comment on the general situation of the imperial court, and Zhu Gaoxu was more cautious; It was determined that his father Zhu Di wanted to ask, so he talked about some opinions.

Now Zhu Gaoxu pays more attention everywhere, he is very disciplined. There is no other reason, just because he has the ability to set off the storms of the world...... His father, Emperor Zhu Di, also knew this.

The emperor's sister-in-law, the prince of the Zhu family, he can also fight well, sit on one side, and his energy bursts out, which can stir up half of the world; It's a pity that it's still difficult to confront the Jingshi court. In this case, Zhu Gaoxu could only try his best to convince his father that the Han Wangfu was a completely controllable force.

Zhu Gaoxu personally sent Li Qi out of the study and asked the officials to continue to send him out of the Han Palace. He did not return to the study, but walked towards the steps of the Carrier Hall.

The grand front hall with heavy eaves glazed tiles is somewhat similar to the imperial city of Jingshi. At this time, such a building symbolizes many, many things. The world has attached power, majesty, justice, and so on to it.

However, there was only one reason why the Zhu family got all this: in the brutal battle of the raging iron cavalry soldiers, after the bloody sacrifice of countless deserving butchers and countless innocent civilians, a group of people from Taizu stood to the end.

Zhu Gaoxu was on the steps, raised his hand to stop the eunuch entourage beside him, and walked into the empty and spacious hall.

He wandered among the great red pillars, paced for a while, and then walked up to the throne directly above him, and sat down on his throne. He rested his elbows on the armrests and leaned slightly so that his arms held the weight of his upper body. His eyes seemed to be inspecting his hall, and it was as if he hadn't seen anything.

…… Obviously, Gao Xu's methods of dealing with Tusi in Yunnan made Emperor Zhu Di very satisfied; Otherwise, Zhu Di would not have asked people to ask Gao Xu and about Annan.

If the Annam War broke out, Gao Xu thought that the emperor would most likely transfer him to the war.

First, Zhu Di is in the prime of life, and he wants to make a contribution; And Gao Xu's son performed very well and was capable of helping the emperor realize his ambitions.

Second, although Gao Xu had some strength and ability, he could not resist the emperor at all; In the prime of the emperor's life, Gao Xu was not a fundamental threat in terms of morality and strength, at least temporarily.

Gao Xu only now realized that after the "Battle of Jingjing", because his performance was too good, he gave the emperor the idea of continuing to drive him.

If he is disobedient and uncontrollable, he will do nonsense all day long; It is estimated that after Jing is difficult, he will not have much use value.

…… Zhu Gaoxu couldn't figure out whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. But at least there is a little benefit, he clearly feels that the conflict between father and son is gradually easing.

After all, whether he is doing nonsense all day long or not, his ability and reputation are there; The objective danger is not something that can be changed by what he does.

In the end, it is the relationship between father and son, Zhu Gaoxu feels that his father still has himself in his heart.

He sat in the public seat and thought a lot...... His thoughts gradually became clear, and the only thing that could challenge the emperor's trust now was those fierce generals hiding in Wushan Peach Blossom Spring!

However, this matter is done quite cautiously, and there is only one place that is more risky: Wang Gui.

The eunuch Wang Gui knew too much. Zhu Gaoxu didn't think that Wang Gui had a reason to betray himself, in that case, Wang Gui would also die without a place to be buried, and there would be no benefit! However, this is still a dangerous weakness.

Especially now, Zhu Gaoxu judged that he might have to lead troops to Annan. At that time, he was not in the Han Palace, and the situation on the battlefield in Annan was chaotic, so he was afraid that Wang Gui would do something.

Kill Wang Gui and completely eliminate this risk factor?

…… Wang Gui is a eunuch, but Zhu Gaoxu also remembers Wang Gui's efforts for himself, remembers the promises and hopes given to Wang Gui, and let him enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.

Perhaps, people who have to do things will always be sorry for many people and let down many people...... Zhu Di even failed his own son! Wouldn't it be said that the position of the crown prince was said at the beginning; Zhu Gaoxu doesn't even think that when Zhu Di wants to inherit the imperial power, he will leave a huge hidden danger for the crown prince.

Isn't it sometimes impossible for people to do so?

There are all kinds of reasons, but Zhu Gaoxu still feels that this kind of dry method is a bit too much, and it is difficult to let go of it in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu slapped his palm on the armrest, and the person stood up and walked quickly towards the door of the main hall.

He returned to the door of the study, turned his head and said, "Wang Gui, you come in with me." ”

"The slave obeys." Wang Gui bent down and said.

The two walked into a windowless room next to them, which also hung a schematic diagram of Kunming City and put some small objects.

Wang Gui stood beside him with a bow, without saying a word, and looked like he was obeying orders.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "Not long after, I may lead troops to Annam." I want to send you to another place in advance, and you may live there for two years. ”

Wang Gui lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Please make it clear." ”

"Peach Blossom Valley, Wushan County." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The slave and maid are only the king's head!" Not to mention going to Wushan County, even if the prince wants the slave to die, the slave has no regrets! ”

"Why do I want you dead?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

Wang Gui said: "The prince didn't let the slave die, but the slave and maid are ready to die for the prince at any time." ”

Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care about Wang Gui's dead heart and a little determination, he only knows that objectively Wang Gui is a loophole!

"Wang Gui, you have always been loyal to me, am I the kind of ungrateful?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Wang Gui hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course the prince is not. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Then do you want to believe me, or do I believe you?" ”

Wang Guibai said: "The slave and maid will go to clean up immediately, and they will rush to Wushan County tomorrow." ”

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said, "Ask Wang Bin to go with you." Wang Bin only needs to send you to that place, and you don't have to go into the valley. So that there was still someone in the palace who knew the place; In the future, I want to contact you, and I can send Wang Bin. ”

Wang Gui said: "The prince is very worried. ”

This matter was arranged in this way, although Wang Gui was locked up in that valley, there was one more Wang Bin who knew about it...... Wang Bin risked his life on the battlefield to block the fire for Zhu Gaoxu, and he was also a loyal person. But Wang Bin and Wang Gui are a little different, Wang Bin doesn't know as much about those things as Wang Gui; Moreover, Wang Bin is a general at the level of a guard commander, and it is even more difficult for others to move him.

…… Wang Gui just bought a little lady for a few months, and gave it to Wang Bin as a concubine, and set off with some things.

The commander Wang Bin also went to the study to see Zhu Gaoxu, understood what he was going to do, and quickly prepared horses and other things.

The two led the way out of the north gate of Kunming City and embarked on the journey neatly.

Wang Gui rode on a horse, looked back at the city tower of Kunming City, sighed with some emotion, and let out a long sigh of relief and showed a little smile.

Wang Bin asked curiously: "It's sad for others to go far away, Wang Gonggong, what are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing, our family is in the deep mountains, and it's a little boring, but it's a good thing." Wang Gui said casually.

He didn't think that Wang Bin sent him at all, there was any deception...... If the prince really has murderous intentions, why is it so troublesome? I slashed it in the study! Do you have to call a guard commander to make a confidant general to do this kind of work?

Wang Gui has long felt that he is uneasy, he is also self-aware, and he knows too many secret things. It's dangerous for him to be a pawn like him, and he may become an outcast at any time.

For the sake of big things, Wang Gui doesn't feel that his life is worth anything!

So a few days ago in the study of the front hall, he said that even if he died, he would have no resentment, not just to show loyalty, because there is really no reason to resent.

When the prince proposed to hide him in Wushan County, Wang Gui was very grateful. The prince found a safe way for him to survive the difficulties!

"The prince is a master worthy of service." Wang Gui sighed thoughtlessly.

Wang Bin turned his round black face, glanced at him, "hummed", and turned his head to look at the road. Wang Bin is now the commander of the guard, and it seems that he disdains to listen to a eunuch preach there.

Wang Gui looked like he was doing something serious, and continued: "We people, don't we just have a chance to live a better life? You can only rely on the royal family, vassal kings and nobles, and there are also nobles who have no conscience...... But our prince is a nostalgic person. ”

Wang Bin, who walked to the side, didn't say anything. Wang Gui came back to his senses at this time, the unkempt black man beside him, his appearance is not good, but he has been mixed with the third-grade military attaché, and it is estimated that he can understand it better than him as a eunuch. Wang Bin should not be a person like his appearance, there were hundreds of soldiers in the county king's mansion back then, if Wang Bin didn't have some brains, I am afraid it would be difficult to stand out from so many people.

Kunming City is the largest city of Yunnan Province, and the nearby post road is spacious, and the two of them rode side by side when they first left the city, walking very fast.

They didn't have much to say for the first ten days, except to talk about how to place the horses and where to settle down. Later, the journey was boring, and Wang Bin's words increased.

Because Wang Gui is Zhu Gaoxu's confidant, Wang Bin has complained in front of him before. Wang Bin was on the way, he talked about the royal affairs, and he had to scold for a while.

It is probably that when the king of Han made the most efforts to fight the country, he was born and died, but the emperor let Gao Chi be the crown prince within the unfair words.

"The crown prince is the eldest son." Wang Gui was more sober at this time, and said, "Wang commands these words, don't say them in front of outsiders." ”

Wang Bin said with a displeased face: "I still want you to teach?" ”

Wang Gui had to reluctantly laugh and smuggle his mouth.

…… They walked on the official road, not the largest post road in Yunnan, but went directly to Sichuan to set up political envoys, and then went east along the big river. Then they found a boat to take the waterway, from Yibin County, the capital of Xuzhou, from the river down the river, passing through the territory of Chongqing Prefecture, and then arrived in Wushan County. They took the road that was almost the way east of Sichuan.

This road is not far, but in some places the mountains and roads are narrow, rugged and difficult to walk, and the two are not too anxious to hurry, and they walked lightly for nearly a month before arriving in Wushan County.
