In the sound of the golden drum, the female actor on the stage is wearing a costume, holding a large knife for paint dyeing, and her movements are rotating vigorously; Colorful things sway on it, and it's dazzling to look at. Every time she turned to face Zhu Gaoxu, she could see that her eyes were very bright; The stage was a long distance away, but those eyes could make a good expression in an instant, as if they were looking at him.

and Li Louxian, who just left, her pear blossoms bring rain, is she acting? Zhu Gaoxu couldn't tell them all.

Now sitting in front of Shen Xu again, she has a very kind and wonderful smile on her face; That smile made Zhu Gaoxu feel like a spring breeze, and felt how much she admired herself and liked herself. Zhu Gaoxu knew in his heart that Shen Xu's attitude towards him was actually a bit complicated.

"How much is the singing fake and how true?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at the stage and sighed casually.

Shen Xu's voice said: "There is a little bit of fake, and there will be a bit of truth." ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately turned his head to look at her after hearing this: "Mrs. Shen's words are good. ”

"Your Highness has won the prize." Shen Xu showed a subtle and gentle smile, and said softly, "Listening to those well-sung dramas, the concubine said that there are rules for singing and posture, but the love in the play has to be sung a little true, so as to move people." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said thoughtfully: "It makes sense. ”

Shen Xu continued: "There are also those dramas, some of the things in them are true, some are fake, and there must always be a sense of proportion, so that people can't feel too fake." ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he didn't speak for a while. He thought of Li Louxian's crying, and felt that she must have true feelings for her husband, otherwise she wouldn't be able to find ways to intercede for her.

He thought for a while, came back to his senses, hugged his fists and said, "By the way, I came to Liyuan today, in addition to the things I promised Li Louxian before, but also to say goodbye to Mrs. Shen in person." We may not see each other for a while. ”

Shen Xu immediately said: "Your Highness has decided to personally lead the army to Mengyang Division?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Shen Xu spoke cautiously: "How many men and horses does Your Highness want to bring, and when will you pacify Meng Yangsi?" The concubine knows that she shouldn't inquire about such a major military incident......"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and smiled: "Mrs. Shen is also from our Ming Dynasty, so it's nothing to tell you." For this expedition, I plan to select 10,000 elite soldiers, and transfer 5,000 each to the guard army and the escort army to form a counterinsurgency army. ”

He glanced at Shen Xu's face, and said in his heart: Most of the women in ancient and modern times are not interested in fighting and killing, and nothing about military politics is the content of their gossip. Shen Xu didn't seem to care too much about those things...... Unless the war affects her interests.

Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment, and then said: "This king plans to ask the three divisions and various prefectures and counties to recruit the people and strong, and bear the money and food of the soldiers of the guard. The Han Dynasty paid for the purchase of grain and straw for the purpose of escorting the army. ”

Shen Xu's eyes suddenly widened a little, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, although the concubine is a commoner, she is also willing to donate some wealth and goods to fund the military." ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said: "When I was in Beijing, my father and queen mother rewarded me several times, and I still have treasures and money. Mrs. Shen is kind, I understand it. Let alone...... The benefit of our head is not this military salary, but jade. ”

After hearing this, Shen Xu said again: "Your Highness thinks that the concubine has limited financial resources, so he can't look down on this little courtesy?" ”

"I got it." Zhu Gaoxu simply refused, and said seriously, "Everything in the world will encounter setbacks and difficulties, Mrs. Shen should not lose confidence in Jade, I believe we will be able to succeed!" ”

His voice was not loud, but his expression was very determined. Shen Xu's gaze brushed over Zhu Gaoxu's face, and her beautiful eyes showed subtle emotion.

Zhu Gaoxu thinks that his relationship with Shen Xu's family should be barely regarded as a lover? But Shen Xu doesn't seem to be a person who is obsessed with love, even if she has had a skin-to-skin relationship, her trust and trade-offs are still turbulent and changing back and forth.

"Whether a person is trustworthy or not depends on how he does it. Mrs. Shen, think about it, since we met, what I have done, where is it just to want to plunder you? Zhu Gaoxu said in a calm tone. He has always been good at winning the trust of others, after all, his credit in his previous life was bankrupt, and it was much more difficult to do things, but when he borrowed money, he still had to try his best to persuade others and believe in himself again...... And now the conditions are much better, and he is not forced to the point of breaking his promises and credits at all.

Sure enough, Shen Xu first subconsciously nodded slightly, and her action told Zhu Gaoxu that she already believed him. After a while, she said again: "Your Royal Highness is a prince, and you have a promise, how dare you question you?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and was noncommittal.

He then stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "I will stay for a short time today, thank you Madame for your hospitality." ”

Shen Xu also got up and saluted back, "His Royal Highness the King of Han is willing to come to our pear orchard, that is the honor of the concubine." She bent her knees and made a blessing, "Your Highness has been busy with military affairs recently, and the concubine does not dare to keep her, so I send it off to Your Highness." Just wait for His Royal Highness to return victoriously as soon as possible, and the concubine will prepare some wine and food at home to congratulate His Highness. ”

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu replied.

His performance in counterinsurgency in Yuezhou last time has convinced many people of his ability. This time, Shen Xu did not question it in person, but it could be seen that she was still a little worried.

…… Zhu Gaoxu dispatched troops on the one hand, and prepared to set off on the other. The army had not yet been assembled, and the men responsible for recruiting the people, mules and horses had already been dispatched. With Shi Qianxun, the governor of the palace, as the chief envoy of the transfer department, the right senator of the political envoy and the deputy envoy of the prefect of Dali, he went on a business first.

Mu Sheng had already been informed of this, and Mu Sheng did not object very sensibly. He has been very obscure lately, and has hardly interfered too much in any military and political affairs on the ground in Yunnan.

Nearly a year has passed since the major event that happened in Dali Mansion. Mu Mansion really didn't have anything, not even the ominous wind.

Chen, who ran outside Kunming, returned to Mu Mansion with his daughter Mu Zhen and his youngest son. But the fear of that incident hung like the shadow of a dark cloud over Mu Mansion for a year, but fortunately, the thunderstorm finally did not fall.

Mu Sheng thought about the joints many times, he roughly guessed the reason why the court did not move him, and understood that even if he was okay now and the account was still remembered, he could not sit back and relax!

So Mu Sheng began to live in a simple and low-key manner. After eating chicken, duck and fish every day, he often told people that he was not in good health and needed to recuperate.

He rarely goes to the official yamen, but he has always been very concerned about the affairs on the territory of Yunnan.

When it was determined that the Han King Zhu Gaoxu really wanted to use troops against Meng Yangsi immediately, he was very silent at first, and then in front of the old lady and his family, he only said one sentence: "The King of Han uses troops this time, the important thing is not the victory or defeat, but the speed or slowness." ”

Mu Sheng has been in Yunnan for so many years, and he can understand the things on the territory of Yunnan at a glance.

Still, he was a little troubled. One day, he said to himself in front of Chen, "Why does King Han love tossing so much? ”
