Zhu Gaoxu came out of the wing room in the front hall and walked out of the hall, looking surprised again.

I saw a group of people standing next to the wall inside the gate, and it was very strange that such a group of people were standing there, and all of them were silent. The moment Zhu Gaoxu stepped out of the door, he didn't know that there was a group of people there!

"Lord Wang! The prince ...... "The three people standing in front found Zhu Gaoxu, immediately shouted, and ran over quickly.

The sudden situation caught Zhu Gaoxu a little off guard, and several people were red-faced, looking very excited, just like a group of hungry wolves seeing chicken, and their saliva was about to flow out.

They are all adults, why are they so uneasy? Zhu Gaoxu instantly remembered the feelings of his previous life, as a person at the bottom, his connections and resources are very narrow, and the opportunity to rise to a class is very small. There is a saying that if you meet a noble person for 20 years, if you encounter an opportunity, you will usually value it very much. And Zhu Gaoxu, as the grandson of Taizu, isn't he the nobleman of this group of dicks in front of him?

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Gaoxu understood them very well.

"The prince is finally back!" "We came here yesterday...... the three of them chattered and refused to give in to each other, as if there were thirty people, which made Zhu Gaoxu dizzy for a while.

He rubbed his thumb lightly on his temple, trying to recall the "first meeting" people.

The man with a pair of round eyes and rough and dark skin should be called Wang Bin. This man had a short, round face, high cheekbones, a stiff beard, and was not very old, but he looked very old because of his leather skin and thatch-like hair. His round eyes looked fierce, but somehow, his serious appearance seemed to have a sense of joy.

Another man with a shoehorn face and white skin, not very tall, but very strong, was called Veda. Wei Da is at least in his thirties, and he looks younger than Wang Bin, who is in his twenties, and the importance of good skin...... Princess Xu's choice for the princess of the county last year was his daughter.

Both of them were officers of 100 households, and they were on errand in Zhu Gaoxu's honor guard.

The remaining one is a civil official, with a bird embroidered on his belly, a green-robed horn belt, named Hou Hai, a professor from Jiupin...... In addition to a "non-flowing" grade name in the Ming Dynasty, his grade has been in the end.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and glared at them. The three of them finally shut up one after another.

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu have the opportunity to speak: "Don't worry, what can you do if you go to Beijing?" Don't be nervous. Today they are scattered, and each one does his own thing. After he said that, he glanced at the civil official Hou Hai and beckoned: "I have something to ask Professor Hou, go to the house and say." ”

The two of them walked inside, one after the other. Behind this wall, there is a row of houses on one side and a fence on the other. Zhu Gaoxu casually found a room, walked in, and sat down on a Taishi chair.

Hou Hai stood there.

Zhu Gaoxu asked: "I left Beiping for two or three months, what happened here?" ”

Hou Hai immediately took two steps forward, looked back at the doors and windows, and whispered: "Wei Da's daughter, there was a marriage contract before!" He actually concealed the truth, and in order to climb the prince, he turned his face and denied the original marriage contract! Who is the other party, the lower officials have already found out, and they are called Li Mo......"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he said unhappily: "I'm asking about the world's big things!" ”

Hou Hai made a bitter face and hurriedly said: "King Zhou's family was escorted to Beijing by Cao Guogong, demoted to a concubine, and exiled to Yunnan. The acting king and the king of Qi were escorted to Beijing and imprisoned, and I heard that the acting king was taken to Sichuan again. The worst is the king of Xiang, someone accused him of forging the Ming treasure banknote, when the officers and soldiers came to the door, he shouted that he was wronged, and he took the princess and the children to burn themselves and died! Now all the vassal kings are in fear......"

"I know all of that." Zhu Gaoxu was already a little impatient.

Hou Hai suddenly said: "Song Zhong brought tens of thousands of people to Kaiping Beibian, saying that there were not enough soldiers and horses, and the Holy Lord ordered to transfer troops and reinforcements from the guards of King Yan. The commanders and political envoys of Beiping have all been replaced. ”

These news are a bit interesting, but they are all high-profile personnel transfers in the local area, and it is really easy to inquire about.

"Alright, alright." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.

He also thought that the civil officials around him would miraculously be a talent, and it seemed that he was thinking too much.

Just as Zhu Gaoxu was full of disappointment and sighed secretly, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately asked with interest: "The matter of the Wei Da family, even the people of the Yan Wangfu didn't notice it at the beginning, it seems that it is unknown, how did you find out?" ”

"This ......," Hou Hai hesitated, "By chance, Xia Guan found out that Li Mo went to Wei's house and asked Wei Da to help him have a 'competition'." What the prince knows, the military position of the hereditary father's generation must first pass the competition of the capital, the first time it will be halved, and the second time it will become an ordinary military household.

Li Mo's dead father can be regarded as a skilled archer, but his son has fine skin and tender meat, and he didn't learn a little martial arts from his father, and he almost shot the drum beater to death in the first competition, and was directly abused by the examiner and driven out of the school; If you don't pass this second time, the whole person will be finished, and it is better to be an ordinary ordinary person than an ordinary soldier......

Li Mo estimated that he was self-aware, and he heard that the daughter of the Wei family was going to be a princess, and she would no longer be entangled in the marriage contract, but at least she would make up for it? So he went to Veda. ”

"Oh." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Hou Haidao: "The lower officials have concluded that in two days, Wei Da will come to find the prince, and he has no way to do it." ”

"Oh." Zhu Gaoxu nodded again.

Zhu Gaoxu listened to the minutiae for a long time, but decided that Hou Hai's gang was suitable for investigation work, and the investigation was very detailed.

Zhu Gaoxu deliberately learned Hou Hai's actions just now, because he felt inexplicably funny: he stretched his neck and glanced at the doors and windows, leaned his head over, and whispered mysteriously: "The people in the county king's mansion, you all check the details and turn back to the secret." ”

Hou Hai looked surprised, as if he had the illusion that he had suddenly become a cronie, and nodded a few times in a row, "Don't worry, the next official will definitely do it." ”

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu hesitated slightly, and said: "The little lady I just brought back, named Du Qianrui, was born in Jingshi Fule Academy, and she said that she is from Raozhou Mansion in Jiangxi. You also want to check with me what is going on at home and why I went to Fuller Paradise. ”

"This ...... I only know that it is from Raozhou? Yes! Hou Hai immediately said with a straight face, "It's okay, don't worry!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be serious: "This errand can only be done by you, just go." ”

"The next official retired." Hou Hai hugged his fists.

After sending Hou Hai away, Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door of the room, looking at his palace; I thought of the subordinates I had just met, plus the honor guards, there were more than 200 people in total...... and the feeling of the prince, the gap is a bit big.

The grandson of the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and the dignified prince, just such a little strength?

Zhu Gaoxu was depressed for a while, and gradually faced the reality: it was King Yan who really had some strength. And Zhu Gaoxu is only sixteen years old, no matter how strong his personal force is, he is also dependent on the existence of his father, and it is just a card in the hand of King Yan.

The current situation also made Zhu Gaoxu very confused.

The army outside Beiping looked around, and there was a situation of being surrounded; Even Beiping City, the old nest of King Yan, was mostly under the control of the imperial court. vaguely felt that the real control range of Yanwang Zhu Di was only the palace.

The pressure on King Yan at this time must be great, but how he wants to win the war, the current Zhu Gaoxu is a little confused. Because his father had not yet consulted with him about important matters.

Zhu Gaoxu's own pressure is even greater! Not only is it the same risk and related to King Yan, but he also has to face a doomed fate: being burned to death by the son of the prince.

With this current strength, how can you struggle?

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a long time in the difficult and chaotic situation, and quickly decided on two general routines: reserve strength, but not let Zhu Di and Shizi feel threatened and ill-intentioned.

How could it be done, he couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only take one step at a time. But people in the rivers and lakes, no routine is not good!

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the hall and saw Wang Gui coming from the corridor under the eaves. Wang Gui looked up, trotted over, bent over and said, "The slave and maid have slept for too long, and found that the prince has gotten up." ”

"Wang Gui......" Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to listen to him.

Wang Gui hurriedly bent his waist deeper, "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him: "I remember that you are a person from your father's mansion." ”

"Yes, yes......" Wang Gui said busily, "but the heart of the slave and maid is already the prince's, and the prince treats the slave and maid as a human being, how can the slave and the maid still have a wolf heart and a dog's lungs?!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "What are you talking about?" I want to ask you, are you from over there, you must know some eunuchs from the Yan Palace? ”

Wang Gui said: "Of course! At that time, King Yan got a lot of books, and invited Mr. to teach the eunuchs to read and write in the house. Hehe, to say an elegant word, everyone is also a classmate. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Very good. You go to the storeroom to pick up some goods and walk around with your classmates. What are the origins of those officials and generals in Beiping City, inquire clearly, and come back to tell me. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "We just returned to Beiping, we are just blind, and none of the newcomers know about it, so it's really uncomfortable to wait and resign ourselves to fate." ”

Wang Gui said: "Slaves obey orders!" How much to take...... Goods? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Look at it yourself." Didn't you study in Yanwangfu? I'll get an account after a while, and I'll just have a look. ”

"The prince trusts him so much, and the slave and maid are grateful." Wang Guidao.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a calm tone: "I heard, the first thing you do when you come back is to look at the warehouse." Very good, I have to do the same in the future, don't be careless and live up to my current trust. ”

"Yes, the slave has written it down." Wang Guidao.

When Wang Gui retreated, he turned around and secretly glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, with surprise in his eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu can't care so much, no matter how much he acts, his personality and style of doing things can't be exactly the same as the previous Gaoyang County King.
