At this time, he did not wear the heavy armor again, and wore a dragon robe, but did not wear a hat. He looked through a whole stack of maps in his study, looked at it for a long time, and then got up and paced around a wooden window.

After a while, he suddenly noticed that there was someone at the door, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Miaojin standing at the door with a tea cup. Zhu Gaoxu was surprised: "Miaojin, why don't you come in?" ”

Miaojin's voice said, "I thought Gao Xu was going to recite poetry." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought it was a joke at first, just to tease him; But soon he felt that Miaojin's voice was not meant to be joking, and when he observed Miaojin's eyebrows, he also saw that her expression was calm and unsmiling.

He didn't quite understand what she meant, shook his head slightly, and then left it behind.

Miaojin walked in, put the ceramic cup on the bookcase, and after a while immersed herself in the messy desktop full of maps and files, she looked up at Zhu Gaoxu again.

"After the Battle of Huguang, the situation was favorable to the Han Palace. I see that the civil and military are celebrating, why is Gao Xu not very happy? Miao Jin sat down on a stool and asked softly.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the table and said, "I'm not unhappy, but I'm a little apprehensive in my heart. I'm trying to let go of car repair for a while......"

Miaojin's face was a little confused. Zhu Gaoxu found that he had missed his mouth, so he paused slightly and looked at Miaojin.

The winter morning sun was shining through the wooden windows, and the light in the study was bright. The skin on Miaojin's face and neck looks whiter and shinier in the bright sun; Her slender and slightly raised almond eyes are very aura, and she can easily express her emotions, as if she can speak. Her confused eyes also looked very interesting.

So Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood her mood, so he changed his words and said: "I just want to have fun!" But I couldn't let go of my responsibilities. Therefore, I always can't calm down, and I am a little upset. ”

Miaojin looked thoughtful when she heard this, and she was thinking about something very seriously.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at her again, frowned, and said: "There are so many people who have died, so many lives are better than death!" I have also promised my brothers many times that we are on the side of justice. If I fail to fulfill my responsibilities, I will find it difficult to deal with the brothers who have died in battle, and I will always feel that their deaths are worthless, and I will feel guilty. ”

Miaojin's voice said, "I understand." ”

"It doesn't seem that simple." Zhu Gaoxu muttered again, "I have read history books over the years, and I have realized that some ancient people, those who want to lay out the world with simple rules, will always fail and cause greater chaos......

The room fell silent, and Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair, motionless thoughtfully. Miao Jin also pondered something.

After a long time, Miaojin's voice whispered: "In the past two years, I have seen Gao Xu's pleasures, which are nothing more than the word "lust", so why bother...... Am I getting ugly? ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to his senses, and when he looked at Miaojin, he saw that her jade white ears were already red, and her face was looking at the ground.

Miao Jin quickly raised her head and glanced at him, and finally whispered, "Come over at night." ”

"It's better now." Zhu Gaoxu said.

At this moment, the big hammer Chen who was five big and three thick appeared at the door of the study again out of place! Chen Dazhui clenched his fists and said: "Lord Wang, General Sheng and General Ping have just arrived in Hengzhou, and they are waiting in the middle hall to meet the prince. ”

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Miaojin laughed "sneering", hurriedly covered her mouth gently, her cheeks turned red again, and she said, "Gao Xu, you go and get down to business first." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Don't forget what you promised just now." ”

"We'll talk about it then." Miaojin said embarrassedly.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door, turned around and came back, picked up his black gauze hat and put it on. I don't know what's so funny about this, Miaojin looked at him and laughed softly, and her beautiful face became extremely charming.

Sheng Yong's army should be in the east of Baoqing Mansion and the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, and the army will not be able to reach Hengzhou Mansion even if it is a journey.

However, since the urgent report sent by Qu Neng yesterday, it reported the news that Qu Neng's army occupied Yiyang County and forced to land in Changde Mansion; The territory west of the Xiangjiang River has been completely under the control of the Han Dynasty. There was no war on the west bank, so Sheng Yong left the barracks and came to Hengzhou first.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the middle hall, and sure enough, he saw the two generals of them, Wang Bin, Hou Hai and others also came.

"The last general will wait to meet the prince." Several generals saluted together.

Zhu Gaoxu was very casual, he pointed to the chairs on both sides of the middle hall and said, "Sit, everyone sit down, take a sip of tea and rest." ”

They said again, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Zhu Gaoxu also sat down on the Taishi chair directly above a few cases.

Sheng Yong hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, the last general will wait in the prefectures and counties along the road, and see that the officials and people have almost no resistance. We can prepare to cross the Xiangjiang River to the east and continue to go eastward! ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, noncommittal, and only said: "By the way, this king has ordered Mu Ang of Yunnan to release Cao Long and others, the former commander of the left capital of Yunnan, and ask them to reinstate their officials. ”

Sheng Yong'an and the others were silent, almost unresponsive.

Last summer, Zhu Gaoxu raised troops in Yunnan; Cao Long and others, who commanded the envoys, nominally controlled the entire Yunnan garrison, but they did not surrender, and they pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not resist. Zhu Gaoxu put them under house arrest at that time.

For example, the general trend is set for eight points today, so Zhu Gaoxu asked Cao Long to wait out and continue to be an official...... He felt that Cao Long was not so stupid, and he would still want to collude with the puppet dynasty.

After a while, Ping An responded: "The prince is wise!" Those wall grasses aren't going to do anything now. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I think so too." Cao Long had some heart for the king at the beginning, but he was unwilling to risk his life. ”
