Volume 1 Chapter 15 Passing two levels in a row
easily kidnapped the son of the post man, Zhu Gaoxu easily grabbed a post horse and ran north.
There are only more than 100 miles from Zhuozhou to Beiping, and before noon, Zhu Gaoxu saw the city wall of Beiping. The road was fast and lucky, and he did not encounter any more pursuers.
Beiping, for the current Zhu Gaoxu, is also a strange city.
The city of later generations was, of course, very different, when there were no walls left; The common Ming Dynasty Beijing City in film and television dramas is also different. Because it is neither Dadu nor Beijing, but Beiping.
However, it is indeed a big city, after all, it was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, and even the city walls on the east and west sides are still largely used in the city walls of the Yuan Dynasty.
There are only remnants of memories, in contrast to them. Those memories are like pictures, just pictures without any feelings.
Zhu Gaoxu was dirty and messy, leading the horse into the main gate of Li, and saw a team of armor soldiers coming up, and the man in front of him said: "The last general is waiting for the king of Yan to wait for the prince for a long time, please!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, and there seemed to be this person in his memory, at least familiar.
King Yan is stationed in Beiping, known as powerful, but even Beiping City cannot be controlled; Because there are three divisions in Beiping, all of which are appointed by the imperial court, they are responsible for managing the military, political and criminal affairs in the entire Beiping area. This group of men and horses waited at the gate of the city in time, perhaps to meet the princes and avoid repetitive troubles.
After entering the city, most of the houses you see are low hard hilltops, and there is no imperial city in Beiping City at this time, and the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty has long been demolished...... After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they demolished their palace to "remove the king's spirit". There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, but it is not bustling.
Walking in this place, Zhu Gaoxu has a strange feeling of shuttling through the time trajectory of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
Several soldiers took Zhu Gaoxu and went straight to the Yanwang Mansion.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu gradually became nervous!
He expected that he would definitely see his father first...... Zhu Di! Zhu Di was already very famous at this time, but his name in the eyes of people was obviously far less than Zhu Gaoxu's positioning in his heart.
Throughout thousands of years of history, there have been many emperors and princes, most of whom are unremembered by ordinary people. But the name Zhu Di is difficult for future generations not to know.
It's not a long way, but Zhu Gaoxu's heart is up and down, and his feelings are very complicated.
The relationship between father and son is not there now, and there is no sense of substitution for him in the things in his memory. But there is still a sincere gratitude! Crossing over from the origin of dick|silk, Zhu Gaoxu understands more deeply than all princes how important it is to have a cow father. Now he can have so many things in the Ming Dynasty, there is only one reason: he is the son of Zhu Di!
Because of the attention, I am a little more nervous at this moment. Will you be recognized when you meet, and how will you perform?
Zhu Gaoxu didn't sleep all night, his face was tired, and he was a little distracted, and he entered the Yanwang Mansion in a daze, so he had to cheer up.
After entering the palace, the first big building is the main hall of the Yan Palace. Zhu Gaoxu walked up the stone steps, and when he stepped into the threshold, he saw two people standing and sitting inside.
Sitting was a tall and burly middle-aged man, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, wearing a red regimental collar shirt on his body, embroidered with a four-clawed dragon figure, this person is Zhu Gaoxu's cheap father: Zhu Di!
Zhu Di's three sons are fat, strong, and thin, and they all look different, and Zhu Di himself is tall and strong, no wonder there is an impression in his memory that Zhu Gaoxu said that he Zhu Gaoxu was "like himself".
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu entered the door, Zhu Di, who was originally sitting, stood up.
The person standing next to him looked very strange at first glance, he was actually wearing a robe and was a monk. Don't think about it, this person must be Yao Guangxiao!
As soon as Zhu Di got up, Yao Guangxiao looked sideways slightly.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, he bowed very well and bowed: "The son knocks to see his father." ”
Yan Wang Zhu Di was calm, but his steps were very urgent, he strode in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and his two big palms pressed firmly on Zhu Gaoxu's forearms, and he suddenly lifted them up.
The strength in King Yan's hand was not a light response, revealing a strong emotion. Even if it was just this action, it made Zhu Gaoxu feel deeply.
Zhu Gaoxu followed this force, stood up, and when he looked up, the two were close, and what caught his eyes was Yan Wang's blazing gaze, thick lips, and rough skin. From King Yan's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu saw that he was tired and melancholy, but at this moment, he was full of short-lived joy.
"Good! Good! Good! Yan Wang's voice was full of anger and momentum. As he spoke, his palm slapped Zhu Gaoxu's arm, grabbing it and still not letting go.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to speak much, but he couldn't stop talking, and immediately responded to King Yan: "Erchen has worried my father." ”
King Yan let out a "hmm" from his nose, and his sharp gaze looked at Zhu Gaochu from beginning to end, just by that gaze, Zhu Gaochu also felt as if he had been stripped naked, which was very penetrating.
"Look at you like this, you must have suffered a lot on the way." King Yan showed a hint of a smile, and quickly retracted it, "Gao Chi and Gao Sui came back first, Gao Chi said, you broke the horse on the road, and you gave the horse to their brothers, and the brothers are so good!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Erchen let the horse, and now he will come back, if the eldest brother lets the horse, I don't know if he can come back." Erchen thought that it would be best for the three brothers to come back together. ”
King Yan nodded slightly. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt that the answer just now was not inviting merit or being too modest, and it seemed to be a statement that could pass the test.
At this moment, Yao Guangxiao's voice said: "The county king's actions in Beijing are really amazing. The king of the county killed a small Beijing official, it must be a test of the depth, right? ”
After the monk finished speaking, he stared at Zhu Gaoxu's face very rudely. In front of King Yan, he was silent, and King Yan's initial joy was soon gone. This father's emotions are controlled and unpredictable, and he feels it when he first meets.
King Yan didn't speak, but Zhu Gaoxu faintly felt pressure coming. Zhu Gaoxu didn't sleep well, his thinking was a little slow, and he couldn't think too long about answering temporarily, so he was suddenly nervous.
Yao Guangxiao asked, the conscience of heaven and earth, Zhu Gaoxu really didn't mean it! At that time, he knew that he could beat someone to death with his bare hands and punches, and he would definitely not use all his strength......
In any case, Ambassador Xu confessed to torturing Du Qianrui, but this matter is not punishable by death; And there is no evidence of the bad things in the past, so how can it be determined? But that guy came to take revenge for the second time, and he was beaten by himself, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't have to kill anyone.
Now that Yao Guangxiao is so clever and resourceful, Zhu Gaoxu's intuition is a pit, and he doesn't dare to climb up the ladder with his own cleverness.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly spoke: "What depth is the temptation?" ”
Yao Guangxiao paused slightly, and said, "Why did the king of the county beat people to death?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I didn't have any grudges against him, but he repeatedly asked for himself, and I was angry, and I didn't have anything serious in my hands, but I didn't want to kill people from the beginning." ”
After he said that, he bowed to King Yan and said: "The son knows that he is reckless, the eldest brother has already scolded, and my father has spared me!" ”
"Hah!" Yan Wang laughed dryly, very briefly, and immediately returned to seriousness, "It's not that I don't know your temperament, I want to change!" ”
"Yes, yes." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly replied.
King Yan turned around and walked to the upper position and sat down. Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and said: "Erchen didn't sleep last night, I went to see my mother first, and I wanted to sleep, please ask my father for permission." ”
"Go!" King Yan waved his hand.
"The retainers retired." Zhu Gaoxu said.
Coming out of the main hall, Zhu Gaoxu secretly let out a long breath. When the son saw Lao Tzu, he had just come back from a thrilling runaway, but he could see that he was so nervous, it was strange! Maybe because Zhu Gaochu is no longer the original person, his heart is already empty.
But thinking of the last dry laugh of King Yan just now, Zhu Gaoxu knew that he had passed the second test, and although he was not in good spirits today, he seemed to be able to cope with it.
Carefully recalling the scene of Fang Cai, Zhu Gaoxu was still faintly afraid, but fortunately he was not in a hurry to perform, and followed Yao Guangxiao's words, boasting about how good he was...... Not to mention that it is easy to arouse the suspicion of King Yan and others, if he gradually leaves a lot of impressions on King Yan, is it really a good thing?
At this moment, a voice that seemed to be weak and angry: "The slave has seen the king of Gaoyang County, you can come back." ”
Zhu Gaoxu looked at it, and the person who came was a burly man in his thirties, with a big face and no hair on his mouth. In his memory, he knew this person, his name was Ma He, and he was a eunuch who often waited by King Yan's side.
"I'm going to report to my mother." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Ma He, you take me there." ”
"Yes, King Gaoyang, please come here." Horses and roads.
Zhu Gaoxu is not familiar with this person, in fact, Ma He is just a stranger to him after the crossing. However, during the time of walking, Ma He would not let Zhu Gaoxu take the initiative to find a topic, Ma He took the initiative to speak, "After the king of Gaoyang County went to Jingshi, the prince often thought about it, not to mention thinking about you more." ”
Zhu Gaoxu decided that this person was King Yan's henchman eunuch, so he said, "Father must still be worried that we won't be able to come back." ”
Ma He was noncommittal, and said, "The princess is the most worried, often crying and sighing, alas, the slaves and maids are also worried and sad." It's good for the princes to come back, it's good to come back. ”
The two of them passed through two halls, walked a few corridors, and came to a moon cave door, Ma He said: "The princess is inside, do you want to find someone to report first?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "The concubine may not know that I came to greet me here." ”
In memory, the mother of the three brothers loves Shizi and Gao Sui even more. In particular, Shizi, because of his limited mobility, stayed in Beiping City almost all the time; It just so happens that the princess is a noble lady who will not go out easily, and the prince will accompany the princess more often.
And Zhu Gaoxu is different, he was crowned the king of the county when he was Taizu, and he was not an idle person before, and he couldn't see anyone all day long. And often followed King Yan to fight, practiced martial arts, taught soldiers, and didn't pay attention to his mother at all.
But no matter what, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu came back to see his father, he immediately came to greet his mother, and the etiquette was to be fulfilled.
