"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......" Lang Lang's reading sound came out in the Hanwang Mansion Building. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and saw a large group of young men reciting Mengxue, and felt that the scene was indeed a bit weird.

However, this strange thing was caused by himself, and it was the sergeant of the "Royal Mansion Guarding the Hundred Households" and the Royal Honor Guard who came to study. Zhu Gaoxu found that more than half of these men were illiterate, how to use illiterate?

In the lobby of the Ming and clean Wenlou, it was originally a place for elegant Confucian students to talk about the scriptures, but now there are two or three hundred black and rough men sitting in the precarious position. Hou Hai, who was teaching, was pacing in the crowd while reading.

Hou Hai was the first to see Zhu Gaoxu, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, and said, "Meet the prince." ”

Wang Bin, who was sitting in the innermost, turned his head to take a look, stood up first, and a group of men stood up almost at the same time, turned around and saluted with fists at the door.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: "Excuse me, you continue, I'm just passing by and seeing." ”

After he said that, he left the door of the Wenlou, and Qian Xun, the chief historian beside him, said quietly: "The prince let the martial artists study in the Wenlou, if it spreads, the corporal of the world will definitely criticize the prince for valuing martial arts and ignoring literature and insulting Swen." The prince must not ignore it. ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Gaoxu said in a noncommittal voice. After a moment, he realized that his tone and posture seemed to be similar to when his father made this sound.

The right way is that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and unconsciously, Zhu Gaoxu seems to have unconsciously learned some things from his father.

Qian Xun didn't say anything anymore, and the two of them walked back and forth on the side streets of the front hall of the palace. Zhu Gaoxu was a little distracted, bowing his head and silently thinking about something.

He was thinking about Mu Sheng, which could also be regarded as the relationship between his father, the prince, the party, Mu Sheng and him.

As for Emperor Jianwen, that is not the person Zhu Gaoxu values the most. What is most important now is the contradiction within the Yan Wang family, and the old party of Jianwen is irrelevant.

…… First of all, Zhu Gaoxu's own long-term plans have never changed. That is: when one day, when others threaten the safety of him and his whole family, he will directly rebel! He would never like to be like the Han King in history, sitting back and waiting for others to smear him and dress him up as a black-faced thief.

But it doesn't matter if you want to rebel or not, whether you have the strength or not is the key. As long as you have the strength, the opponent will lose your skin if you don't die, don't think about it so easily!

Then, he just tried to find a way to sit on the big strength. He had been doing this for a long time, hiding a few of the most capable generals of the Jianwen Dynasty, which was the only thing he could accumulate strength that he took the risk to do under his father's nose.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has arrived in Yunnan, even if someone is watching, he is far away from the emperor and can do a lot of things. He is new to Yunnan and currently believes that Mu Sheng is the key to Yunnan.

…… There are two most favorable results for Zhu Gaoxu: either get rid of Mufu, and the Han Wangfu dominates Yunnan; Either win over Mu Fu and become his helper.

In order to achieve the former result, the prince party will not sit idly by, and the father will feel pressured because of this; There is also a side effect, Mufu has a high prestige among Yunnan toasts, and without Mufu, it is possible that Yunnan toasts will get out of control for a while.

The latter, on the other hand, is more difficult. After Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yunnan, he never saw Mu Sheng, and he pondered this person every day. He felt that it was unlikely that Mu Sheng would directly raise troops to resist the imperial court, unless Mu Sheng felt the catastrophe and wanted to break the net.

Otherwise, the risk of Mufu rebellion is too high and the return is too low. Mu Sheng is already the uncrowned king of Yunnan, apart from being the emperor, what else can prompt him to raise an army?

Zhu Gaoxu has no clue at the moment, and he wants to open up the situation in Yunnan first and take a step at a time.

……

Geng Hao is the grandson of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, and the son of Geng Qi.

A few days ago, the people of Mu Mansion were looking for thousand-year-old Korean ginseng all over the city, and they heard that Mu Sheng, the Marquis of Xiping, was sick. Yesterday, Geng Hao had something in the pear orchard and didn't see his cousin Mu Zhen, so he went to buy Korean ginseng.

Early this morning, Geng Hao was ready to take Korean ginseng to Mufu.

The old man who set up a stall selling Korean ginseng said that although this ginseng does not exist for a thousand years or a hundred years, the diseases that can be cured by a thousand years of ginseng can also be cured by a hundred years of ginseng. For this, Geng Hao spent a full five times!

Geng Hao found a red satin women's dress in the manor house that Mu Fu gave them to his family, rummaged through the cabinets everywhere, and then cut out a piece of red silk with scissors, put it in the carved wooden box, and then carefully placed the ginseng in it and closed the carved wooden box.

He put the wooden box on the table, put on a dark coat with a white background, and then carefully tied his hair in front of the bronze mirror, pressed his slender fingers on the sideburns, picked up the scarf and put it on. With a slight flick of his head back, the two straps of the scarf floated to the back.

He tilted his head to the left and right of the bronze mirror, looked at the delicate face in the mirror, and looked at his outfit from all angles.

Then Geng Hao picked up a piece of jade pendant and hung it on his waist, hung up the money bag, and picked up three neatly folded white handkerchiefs and put them in two sleeve pockets. Finally, he picked up a paper fan and a wooden box and walked out of the door.

There were also hoes, baskets and other farm tools in the yard, Geng Hao had never touched them, and frowned when he looked at those things. He used to be the grandson of the Hou Ye, but now it would be a joke if he mixed with the mud-legged tenants!

Called a carriage to take him to the capital of Yunnan, and Geng Hao walked to Mu Mansion.

Coming from the north of the city, to the main gate in the south of Mufu, you have to pass through a somewhat gloomy street. The yards on both sides of the road are planted with old banyan trees, whose canopies are like umbrellas, covering the sky. Walking through this street, it is as if passing through a hole, and the road is a little narrow, even though it is relatively wide.

Knocking on the corner door next to the gate of Mufu, Geng Hao reported his name and was led by the door to an inverted room to wait. And then no one paid any attention to him for a long time.

After waiting for a stick of incense, the Mu housekeeper from Mu Mansion came over.

Geng Hao stood up and saluted: "I heard that my cousin is sick, and I got another old ginseng plant, so I came to visit my cousin, and I also paid off the housekeeper Mu to report it." Geng Hao said and opened the wooden box.

The official only glanced at it, and said: "Gongzi Geng, don't be so polite, Hou Ye's illness can't take the old ginseng, Gongzi's thoughts, we understand it, and we don't dare to accept it." ”

Geng Hao frowned: "Is Steward Mu suspicious of being polite?" ”

"Ouch, how dare you!" The official family hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't visit because of Master Hou's illness, and Lang Zhong said that he was afraid of dying others." If you can't let Gongzi Geng see the Hou Ye, you won't dare to accept this gift. ”

Geng Hao said: "I'm here for the third time this month, and I just want to see my cousin." ”

The official family said with a bitter face: "I really can't see it, why don't Gongzi Geng wait at home for ten days first?" When the Hou Ye recovers from his illness, the Hou Mansion will send someone to invite the son. ”

Geng Hao thought for a while and said, "Then I want to meet my aunt." ”

The official family pondered for a moment after hearing this, nodded and said, "Son, wait, the little one will report to the old lady." ”

Geng Hao nodded.

Seeing the request of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, it was finally granted. The old lady is Mu Sheng's mother-in-law, but she is also the sister of Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, and she still has affection for the Geng family.

Geng Hao saw his aunt, and saw that although her hair was gray, her face was ruddy and her complexion was very good. He immediately stepped forward and kowtowed to say hello.

"Alright, alright! Hao'er hurry up. The old lady helped Geng Hao up, and immediately asked kindly, "Is your father's body and bones okay?" ”

Geng Hao hurriedly said: "Thanks to my aunt's blessing, my father can still work in the field." ”

He said that this meant that he was not having a good time, and he had to take the servants of the house to farm the land himself, but the old lady was relieved and said, "That's good, good." I asked your cousin to allocate manors, fields, and some cattle farming households, just to let you settle down in Yunnan and live a good life here. Like a few of your uncles...... Alas! ”

Geng Hao said: "Auntie, the younger generation heard my father say that the uncles are still working as officials in Beijing?" ”

The old lady nodded slightly, showing a very reluctant smile.

Geng Hao's face suddenly turned a little red, and finally spoke: "The younger generation has been engaged to his cousin since he was a child, and now the younger generation has come to Yunnan and is close, I don't know how ...... about it."

The old lady immediately interrupted Geng Hao's words with a smile and scolding, and the hand on the back of her hand, which already had a few age spots, hit Geng Hao's palm, "You kid! Of course, this kind of thing needs to be discussed between your father and your cousin, how can you run to it yourself, don't provoke people's jokes! ”

My aunt seemed to be doing Tai Chi, but Geng Hao was stunned and couldn't make sense...... Now that the Geng family can't even see Xipinghou's face, how can they discuss? Moreover, Geng Hao's father and mother once said, don't mention it!

Didn't Geng Hao have no choice but to run to say it himself?

So Geng Hao said straightforwardly: "My father casually said that he didn't mention that incident, but the younger generation felt that it was inappropriate. When I was a child, my cousin was in Beijing, and I was a childhood sweetheart with my juniors, but I couldn't let go of my juniors; Besides, there is a marriage contract, how can our Geng family not recognize it? ”

When the old lady heard the second half of the sentence, her face was a little ugly, and she said seriously: "Hao'er, how can you not listen to your parents when your parents are here?" As long as you cultivate and study in Yunnan, you can talk about it when you grow up. ”

Geng Hao was unconvinced, obviously the Mu family saw the decline of the Geng family and wanted to regret the marriage, but now he wants to plant it on the head of the Geng family?

Geng Haoqiang held back the injustice in his heart, reached out and touched his nose, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he hugged his fists and said: "Obey the order, the younger generation will listen to the teachings of his aunt, and he must do something to glorify the lintel of the Geng family!" ”

The old lady had a lot of wrinkles on her face, but her eyes were very bright, her gaze stayed on Geng Hao's face for a while, and she sighed slightly: "Hao'er, my aunt is old, my aunt just wants to see you juniors, all safe and stable, no illness, no pain, no disaster, no disaster." ”

After saying that, she was about to stand up with the carved dragon purple wooden staff, and the maids next to her hurriedly supported her. The old lady said, "Auntie has been talking for a long time now, so she should close her eyes for a while to recuperate." ”

Geng Hao had to bow down and say, "Auntie should take care of her body, and the younger generation won't bother." ”

The old lady turned around and said, "Ask Steward Mu to prepare lunch for you, and then leave after eating." ”

"The younger generation won't eat, and I'll come to visit my aunt another day." Geng Hao said.
