Chapter 367: Secret Decree
In a vacant restaurant, the most scarce items are bedding and clothing. Rao is so, compared to the days of sleeping on the road, Zhu Gaoxu and others feel much better.
Zhu Gaoxu returned here from the pear orchard and stayed here for two more days. He knew that they couldn't stay in this place for long. But when to return to the Han Palace, make his whereabouts public, Zhu Gaoxu feels that there is still another opportunity.
On the third day, Wang Bin and others also returned here, bringing another carriage. As soon as the door was closed, Hu Guang, who was tied with a cloth ball in his mouth, was lifted out.
When Hu Guang saw Zhu Gaoxu standing in the courtyard, his eyes suddenly widened, his body stopped struggling and quieted down, and for a moment his face seemed to have a look like dead ashes.
"Hu Gechen, don't come unharmed." Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists.
"Woooooo Hu Guang made a vague voice, he, the head of the cabinet, was a little embarrassed at this time, and he was already swept away.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him a few times, then turned around and walked into the hall inside. After a while, Hu Guang was also taken into the huge hall by Wang Bin and others.
There are many square tables, round tables, stools and round stools in the hall, which was originally a restaurant, and no one has moved these things. Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to untie the rope for Hu Guang, and Hu Guang himself got rid of a loop of rope on his head and spit out the cloth ball.
Hu Guang was afraid, and immediately asked carefully: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu also wanted to ask him what he was doing secretly in Yunnan, but in the end he didn't say anything. The abacus between each other is actually self-explanatory, so there's no need to explain it, right?
Hu Guang looked nervous and frightened, unable to concentrate on the danger he faced; But he is a smart man after all, and he will definitely be able to figure it out when he looks back...... At this time, Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was better to say less about himself, so Hu Guang remembered it more.
Zhu Gaoxu casually picked a square table, sat down on a stool, and pointed to the opposite position. Hu Guang glanced at it and sat down opposite.
"How many of you are coming to Yunnan?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Hu Guang groaned: "The groom has been killed by the people of the King of Han......"
Zhu Gaoxu's gaze was fixed on his face. Hu Guang's cheeks twitched slightly, and he said, "There is also a person from Jinyi Wei who came to Yunnan Mansion City first. ”
"Where?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.
Hu Guangdao: "I don't know, Xia Guan and him are not the same kind of person, and the errands are not the same." I don't know where he is, or what he's doing! ”
Zhu Gaoxu stopped speaking for a while. After a while, Hu Guang said again: "What does King Han want to do to his subordinates?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer, and the middle finger of his right hand tapped slowly on the square table table, ......making a boring and meaningless sound, and he looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about Hu Guang's question: How to treat him, torture him to extract confessions, kill people, and kill people? It was as if he was thinking about something else.
Such a boring voice seemed to make Hu Guang more and more restless.
The lobby of the restaurant, which has been abandoned for a long time, is filled with the rotten smell of dust and musty smell. After the rain, the sun came out of Yunnan, and wisps of sunlight shone through the cracks in the doors and windows into the rotten and dark houses, and the dust flew in the light. It's like a tomb, filled with the smell of death.
After a long while, Zhu Gaoxu spoke again: "I heard that Hu Gechen has both children and daughters, and has a daughter who once wanted to marry Xie Jin's son?" ”
Hu Guangdao: "The marriage contract between Xia Guan and Xie Jin no longer exists. ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "But Ling Yuan will still marry another husband who is the right person; Ling Gongzi has a father like Hu Gechen to protect and teach, and he should also study the imperial examination and become a pillar of the country. ”
Hu Guang looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Hu Gechen lives in a large building, and there are more and more fertile fields under his name, embracing his wife and concubines, and in front of the court officials, watching his children gradually get married and start a business, and in the future, he will definitely have children and grandchildren full of children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of that day." Today's incident, Hu Gechen will forget about it sooner or later......"
Hu Guang looked at Zhu Gaoxu a little confused. Zhu Gaoxu had a slight smile on his face, but the smile was cold and seemed to be very cruel.
Without warning, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stood up: "Hu Gechen can go, what you should do, go and do it." ”
"What?" Hu Guang exclaimed, "Xiaguan can go...... What did King Han mean, so he let go of the officials? ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded seriously and made a "please" gesture. Hu Guangyou stood up hesitantly.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said, "By the way, Hu Gechen looks at my face, how about helping Xiping Hou a little favor?" ”
Hu Guang hurriedly said: "Please make it clear to His Royal Highness King Han." ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "After you finished the affairs of the court, you will quietly tell him some inside information as a friend." For example......" He walked up to Hu Guang and whispered two sentences.
Hu Guang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Xiaguan and Xipinghou are not friends. ”
Zhu Gaoxu looked at him and did not refute. Just asked, "Can it be done?" ”
Hu Guang finally nodded and hung his head silently.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Hu Gechen has finished his errand, and he has to leave Yunnan and go back to resume his life. Can it really be done? ”
Hu Guang let out a long sigh and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu still had a mysterious and imperceptible smile on his face.
Hu Guang asked rhetorically: "As long as the lower official says that sentence, can he leave Yunnan?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”
Hu Guang nodded again.
Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the lobby without looking back, and ordered Wang Bin at the door: "Send Hu Gechen out of the city gate, and return the carriage and things to him." ”
Wang Bin showed a look of surprise, but he didn't say much, hugged his fists and said, "The last general will be ordered!" ”
…… Hu Guang was first sent out of the city, and then hired a horseman to re-enter the capital of Yunnan. He sat in the carriage, his hands pressed tightly to the things in his arms, but his heart kept thinking nonsense.
It turned out that the carriage had been strangled alive and died, and the death was very horrible. Hu Guang remembered the scene of killing people like killing animals, and thought that he was unscathed, and his heart was inexplicably very uneasy.
He thought about the scene when he met the King of Han several times, but he could not determine the truth of everything, and his heart was full of doubts.
Does that Jinyi Wei know about his meeting with King Han? After returning to the court, will he be interrogated?
If he saw Mu Sheng and didn't say anything about King Han's explanation, would King Han know? Hu Guang thinks that King Han should be able to know, otherwise he wouldn't let himself go so easily? But how could the King of Han know about this?
If you anger the King of Han, how will you be revenged? Hu Guang thought that King Han specifically mentioned his daughter's marriage and his family, and somehow he thought of the family members of Huang Zicheng and others; Could it be that in addition to killing himself in Yunnan, the king of Han could also deal with his family? How does Hanwang do it......
Hu Guang went to the Xiping Marquis Mansion uneasily and handed over the name post. He was doing what he had planned, but he was always confused about the extra thing.
Soon Hu Guang was introduced into the mansion by a slave wearing a cloth robe and only a scarf. He walked into a study, the door was immediately closed by the slave, and Mu Sheng was standing in front of a chair.
"Hu Gechen came from afar, and he missed the welcome from afar, and he still looked at Haihan." Mu Sheng clenched his fists and bowed.
Hu Guang also hurriedly replied: "The Marquis of Xiping is serious. ”
"You may be seated." Mu Sheng said.
Hu Guang glanced at the book that was thrown on the bookcase, which was a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian". This Mu Mansion is a military general, but Mu Sheng's generation is very fond of reading.
"Holy Secret Decree." Hu Guangdao.
Mu Sheng hurriedly asked Hu Guang to stand to the north, and he knelt on the ground.
Hu Guang hurriedly took out a box from his arms, took out a roll of silk from it, and unfolded it: "Order Mu Sheng Keri to Dali, gather soldiers and horses, and act in accordance with the edict." Mu Sheng has meritorious service in guarding Yunnan, and after I consulted with the minister, I named Mu Sheng as the Duke of Qianguo. ”
Mu Sheng said: "The ministers are grateful." ”
Hu Guang handed the secret decree to Mu Sheng's raised hands, and said: "The official business of the lower official is finished, and I came here to pass on the secret decree." ”
Mu Sheng put away his things, relaxed a little, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Hu, what happened to Jingshi?" ”
Hu Guangdao: "As soon as the saint ascended the throne, I left Beijing. What I know, Brother Mu must also know. But ......"
Mu Sheng hurriedly urged: "But what? ”
Hu Guang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, the staring groom's face with dilated pupils, and the strange sneer on King Han's face. Hu Guangchang took a long breath and said, "However, the Holy Lord discussed with the ministers, no matter what, we must stabilize Brother Mu first, and then settle the account later." ”
"What's the account?" Mu Sheng glared, revealing a look of fear and annoyance for a moment.
Hu Guangdao: "I am not a former official of the East Palace, nor am I the original Yan Wangfu, and I don't know some things." Brother Mu pondered for himself!"
Mu Sheng paced around in the study, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
Hu Guang couldn't help but ask again: "Has the King of Han returned to Yunnan?" ”
Mu Sheng said: "There is no news yet. ”
Hu Guang said again: "Please Brother Mu arrange a secluded house, and I will leave tomorrow." ”
Mu Sheng was busy clasping his fists at this time: "Thank you Brother Hu for reminding the DPRK and China." ”
Hu Guang's face was a little ugly, and he said, "I didn't help anything, I really deserve it." ”
"Where, where." Mu Sheng took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and whispered, "As soon as you go back to Beijing, someone will send some light gifts to the door, and you will take care of it." ”
Hu Guang hurriedly refused, "No need, it's really deserved!" ”
Mu Sheng couldn't help but say, and had stuffed the paper into Hu Guang's collared clothes. Turning his head and shouting, "Someone, send off!" ”
It was still the slave who opened the door and stood at the door just now, Hu Guang and Mu Sheng saluted each other and said goodbye, and hurriedly walked out of the study. At this moment, Hu Guang saw the back of a little lady, who seemed to come out of the back door of the study.
Hu Guang turned his head to look at the slave who led the way, but the slave turned a deaf ear and didn't seem to notice the little lady at all.
