Zhu Gaoxu is a real person.

For example, at this time, when he saw Qiu Song and a few people tinkering in the distance.

Then there was a boom, the fire sounded, the sand flew away, and the smoke of gunpowder filled.

Although Zhu Gaoxu had also heard that Zhang Anshi's gunpowder was powerful, it was obvious that after Qiu Song and others carefully improved, the power of this gunpowder was still greatly beyond his expectations.

So, after the deafening, Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows fluttered and said: "With such gunpowder, why can't Daming dominate the world!" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Having said that, this kind of gunpowder costs silver. ”

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head slightly, thoughtful.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, I don't have much anything, just a lot of money." ”

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said: "It's a pity, I'm finished, my father is jealous of me, and I'm afraid that I will be imprisoned in my life." Perhaps, in a few days, I will be sent to Xiaoling, and your brothers will be able to make contributions in the future. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Father is jealous of his ability, I'm too brave, he doesn't feel at ease." ”

Zhang Anshi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely plead with Your Majesty when the time comes, and find a way to ......"

"Big brother has a way?" Zhu Gaoxu's body was shocked, and he looked at Zhang Anshi with a hot look, with longing flowing in his eyes.

Zhang Anshi smiled: "Your Majesty's temperament, do you know? ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and shook his head.

Zhang Anshi said very bluntly: "Your Majesty loves the country and silver." As long as you have the ability to earn money for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely pay attention to it. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was even more discouraged, and said with a depressed expression: "I will only spend silver." ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Don't underestimate yourself, I think you can." ”

Zhu Gaoxu heard the clouds, but there was still some hope in his heart.

At the moment, it is natural to eat meat first and drink wine.

There are newcomers in the team, and there must be a lively feeling that everyone is brothers, regardless of each other.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Anshi bragged about how powerful Miss Xu was, and she could kill a cow with one punch.

Zhu Gaoxu was also slightly drunk, he was not convinced, and immediately said: "I can kill two cows." ”

Zhang Anshi suddenly said excitedly: "Come on, bring me two buffaloes, and let Zhu Gaoxu's little brother fight." ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

He gradually found that he was becoming more and more unconfident in front of Zhang Anshi.

When Zhang Anshi went to Xiaojie, Zhu Gaoxu patted Qiu Song's shoulder: "When I was a brother with your father, your father was still righteous, but it's a pity...... He is old and worried. Fourth brother, I see that you are better than your father. ”

Qiu Song sniffed, his eyes looked into the void, as if he was digesting Zhu Gaoxu's words, and seemed to ignore Zhu Gaoxu at all.

Zhu Gaoxu was embarrassed, so he looked at Zhu Yong and said in a low voice: "Second Brother Zhu, what do you say...... Why are you so determined to follow your eldest brother? ”

Zhu Yong was silent.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little disappointed when he saw that he didn't answer, it seemed that he was too old and a bit of a failure to integrate into the small group.

Zhu Yong suddenly said: "Do you usually like to use your brains?" ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I usually like to use my brain." ”

"When you use your brain, do you always feel that your head hurts?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, as soon as I use my brain, I feel uncomfortable." ”

"It's the same with us." Zhu Yong grinned: "But since I have a big brother, I can live freely, big brother uses his brain, we can save some brainpower, what he says, let's do it." Anyway, the eldest brother is righteous and angry, and he won't treat us badly! And the eldest brother is extremely smart, we thought of the first layer, the eldest brother has already thought of the hundred layers, do you say that the eldest brother is amazing! ”

Don't use your brain......

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Although I love to use my brain on weekdays, I use my brain too much, and I also feel that my head hurts." But sometimes, when I think of something wonderful, I'm still very excited. It's just these clever ideas...... In the end, he always taught me to suffer, and I understood, in the future, I will use my brain less, and I will be steady. ”

The crowd continued to drink.

Zhang Anshi began to whisper many words in Zhu Gaoxu's ear: "Do you know that Your Majesty is doing business with us?" ”

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu was furious: "My father secretly did business and didn't tell me." ”

This kind of resentment and resentment can be imagined.

It turned out that the love between father and son was all deceitful, and he was still complacent in the past, thinking that he was his father's favorite son.

Zhang Anshi muttered again: "Not only that, but we brothers all have a share, do you know the shares?" Do you understand the business of trading? It's just that the big guys make money together, what's the use of fighting and killing, can you make money? You see that His Majesty is very clever, he has a share, and he lies down and earns money. Don't say these things to the outside world, we are brothers, I just said it. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's chick pecked the rice and nodded, and was immediately very moved by Zhang Anshi's frank admission to him, so he said sincerely: "I understand, which is more important, I know." ”

Zhang Anshi said again: "I think about it, we are a family, we can't teach you to suffer, it's better for you to join the gang." ”

"Occupancy?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhang Anshi in astonishment.

Zhang Anshi said: "Do business together." ”

Zhu Gaoxu obviously still had self-doubt, so he said: "Can I do it, I don't even understand the account." ”

Zhang Anshi said confidently: "With the eldest brother here, can you still teach you to suffer?" I'm now brewing a plan that will save you and make you rich! ”

"Look at it, Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, and he thinks about silver every day, is there anything more important than silver in this world?"

Zhu Gaoxu had already fallen into the bottom of his life once, and now he felt that he had expectations in life again, so he stared at Zhang Anshi deeply and said, "Big brother, you might as well make your words clear." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Do you remember that map? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was obviously still confused about the intention of these words, but he still nodded.

Zhang Anshi said: "You must be familiar with that map, this is your capital!" With this capital, you can invest in shares with your own ability. When the time comes...... Pull you in, and find a way to let Your Majesty let you take your escort to Mubang, that is, the border land of Yunnan, we will cooperate, you occupy the land, count the business bank, and the business house will manage it on behalf of you, and the taxes, minerals, special products, and port income will be distributed according to the shares. ”

"Of course, the trading house can't teach you to suffer losses, we count this as an investment, the grain trading house will supply it, as well as this gunpowder, medicine, ordnance, armor, let's choose the best supply, let's invest, we earn, and lie down to earn money in the future."

Zhu Gaoxu listened, the tiger's body was shocked, but he didn't say verbose, and immediately said: "Although I didn't understand, but since the eldest brother thinks this is beneficial, then it will be .........."

Zhang Anshi understood in his heart that the equity of this firm was going to be adjusted.

But it doesn't matter, it's good to be able to pull people into the water.

The more shares you hold, the more stable your position will be in the future.

After all, who knows a hundred years later, which emperor suddenly wants to eat alone and take the benefits away.

And now, the three dukes, as well as himself, plus a prince, share the profits together. There are relatives, future vassal kings, and the palace, plus the three top ministers in the world, if anyone wants to fight the idea of this business house, I am afraid that they will have to weigh themselves.

Most importantly, it forms a solid system that is unbreakable.

And Zhu Gaoxu's surprise was that if he really had the opportunity to go to Mubang, his four guards would be ...... It can be regarded as a new way out.

Zhu Gaoxu is not incorrigibly stupid, of course, he knows that the guards who were convicted with him will definitely be unlucky in the future. The stupid things he committed, but so many soldiers undertook them, I really can't say it in my heart.

Zhu Gaoxu is a person who thinks very highly of himself and is stupid, but in the army, he has great prestige, and he is quite sympathetic to the soldiers.

It can be said that he is a good-for-nothing person, but in military affairs, he has an innate charm.

If the merchant was willing to provide him with these new gunpowders, as well as many medicines, and even equipment like the model battalion he had seen, even if it was only for one battalion, he was confident that he would be invincible when he arrived in Mubang.

Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed, but he still had some hidden worries, can his father agree?

After eating, several people were a little drunk, so they taught people to kill chickens, burned yellow paper, and worshipped immediately.

Immediately, Zhu Gaoxu led Zhang Anshi to the mansion where he lived.

Facing Yutu, Zhu Gaoxu said: "If this kind of gunpowder is sufficient and the supply is abundant, this way of playing will be different." There is no need to venture deep into their hinterland, and you can use the strategy of arrogance to lure their elite out of the final battle. As long as they are beaten hard enough, then the rest of the soldiers and horses are bound to be noisy, and wherever they pass, they will be like bamboos...... Well, there are some more details, I'll think about it again. ”

After all, it is a person who has experienced the martyrdom.

The great thing about the Battle of Jingyan lies in the fact that these generals who were born in Jingnan won more with less in every battle, and won decisive victories in countless dangers.

Because of this, people like Zhu Gaoxu don't just know how to charge without a brain.

In fact, during these days, although he was depressed, Zhu Gaoxu's heart also gained rare peace.

In the past, he used too much brain and too many distractions, but now he has finally returned to the field he is best at, and only researching one thing he loves the most, which has made him feel a lot calmer.

At the moment, he took up his pen and marked important passes on the map, as well as the routes of the troops, and even important supply positions.

It's just that when he was still dancing, Zhang Anshi and Zhu Yong were already staggering and falling asleep.

………………

At this time, Queen Xu sat in the car, and Zhu Di rode with a team of people and horses.

The car is not luxurious, everything is light and simple.

Neither Zhu Di nor Empress Xu wanted people to know that they had visited the guilty minister, Zhu Gaoxu.

It's just that along the way, Zhu Di is restless.

The old days keep coming back to my mind.

He was more worried about Empress Xu.

There is no one in this world who knows Queen Xu better than him, and Queen Xu is a person who takes care of the overall situation.

Even if he, the emperor, wanted to reward the Xu family and give the Xu family more favors, Empress Xu repeatedly stopped it, thinking that if he treated the Xu family too much, it would inevitably make the world criticize.

Such a woman who knows the general situation knows what to do and what not to do, but Zhu Di also knows that Queen Xu is not much less than others for the affection of her loved ones.

Therefore, although she is a queen, the first thing she thinks about is not arrogance and indulgence, not how to make her favor benefit the people around her.

Instead, he restrained his emotions, but became more and more cautious in his words and deeds, even if there were great grievances and pain in his heart, he would bear it silently.

Her health is not good, the second son has reached this point, and mothers are only afraid of the pain in their hearts, which is even worse than Zhu Di, a father.

Zhu Di rode silently, and he even hoped that the time would be slower and that he would see the rebel later.

And Wang Ning, the concubine, also rode a horse and slowly followed.

He was actually very worried at this time, and he didn't know if his performance today would be able to smoothly cut off with Zhu Gaoxu.

In fact, these are really for Zhu Di to see, but two or three points, he is the princess's concubine, even if His Majesty is angry with him again, I am afraid that it will not harm his life.

What he is worried about is the complete collapse of the King of Han, and the crown prince hates him, if he does not break with the King of Han, or even step on two feet, the throne will definitely fall on Zhu Gaochi's head in the future.

I think the prince will not pursue him again when he sees his performance today.

"Wang Ning ......"

Zhu Di, who was riding in front, said suddenly.

After hearing this, Wang Ning hurriedly stepped forward: "Minister...... The minister is here. ”

Zhu Di said: "On weekdays, the rebel ...... What else did I tell you? ”

Wang Ning pondered and said, "He thinks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... His Royal Highness is not like a human king, and there are ...... ...... to Zhang Anshi"

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Zhang Anshi is a young man, does he hold a grudge so much?" ”

"Nature." Wang Ning said: "Zhu Gaoxu on weekdays, whenever Zhang Anshi is mentioned, he gritted his teeth, and he just wanted to teach Zhang Anshi to break his body into ten thousand pieces. Minister...... The minister persuaded him many times, but he refused to listen, and only said...... and Zhang Anshi do not share the sky. ”

Zhu Di only sighed and didn't say anything more.

Along the way, everyone was in different moods, and finally came to Qixia.

After arriving here, Zhu Di was too lazy to look for Zhang Anshi, so he only asked people to find Zhu Gaoxu's secluded place, and immediately took people directly to the mansion.

Strangely, when it came to the outside of this mansion, there was no one to guard it.

In fact, the guards had been removed a few days earlier.

Look at this ordinary mansion.

Zhu Di turned over and dismounted, then walked to the car and helped Queen Xu out.

Empress Xu was tired and weak, and glanced at Zhu Di with a disgusted expression.

Zhu Di told with concern: "You are not in good health, don't be angry later." ”

Empress Xu bowed: "Your Majesty relaxes, the concubines are self-aware." ”

At that moment, seeing that no one was stopping, he led the way to the house.

Wang Ning also hurriedly followed.

He was a little timid, but he thought that the most important thing for him this time was to cut off his robe with Zhu Gaochu in front of His Majesty, so that he could be regarded as completely cutting off Zhu Gaoxu.

So he crossed his heart and comforted himself: "This Zhu Gaoxu is stupid, no wonder I, such a stupid person, I was really blind at the beginning, and I thought that everyone in the army supported him, and he would definitely become a great weapon, who knew that he would end up like this." ”

The yard is small.

In fact, the whole house is also very small.

A wing, a small hall.

Oddly enough, there were no guards even in the courtyard.

Only in the small hall seemed to be moving.

A voice came from the small hall: "Big brother, I think the fifth child is crazy." ”

"Don't make any noise, people are thinking about making money for us. Pour him a cup of tea and let him sober up. ”

"Just pour tea for the eldest brother, why don't you pour it for him? Big brother, I'm not convinced, he's as brainless as me, why let him. ”

"As a brother, how can you care about everything?"

"Big brother, I'll go, I'll go."

When Zhu Di heard these voices, he knew that it was Zhang Anshi.

What about Zhu Gaoxu?

Isn't it being held here?

Hearing these conversations, Zhu Di was actually a little embarrassed, thinking that when he was young, he had a few ...... with Xu Huizu It's also so close, like brothers in their own family, everyone frolicks and plays together, regardless of each other.

It's a pity...... When a person reaches this age, his sons turn against him.

While thinking, Zhu Di and Queen Xu walked to the threshold together.

At this time, I actually heard Zhu Gaoxu's voice.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "When I entered his mother, I suddenly remembered that someone had scolded my mother, oops...... I've never experienced such a bird in my life, so let's take revenge. Father's ...... I have no conscience, but the queen mother pees on me very well, I ......"

Zhu Di's tiger body was shocked.

Empress Xu's delicate body also trembled slightly.

didn't hesitate much, and continued to walk inside.

saw that Zhu Gaoxu was holding Zhang Anshi's hand, and immediately began to compare: "There are more than 30 of them, teach me to suffer a loss, big brother, believe it or not, they are fewer mortals, and I also taught them to fall to the ground and kneel to me and beg for mercy." ”

Zhang Anshi was facing the direction of the gate.

At this time, his eyes looked directly at Zhu Di and Queen Xu who came in, and he suddenly stopped talking.

But Zhu Gaoxu turned his back to Zhu Di and continued unconsciously: "Big brother, if you say something, didn't you just say that you are angry?" Didn't you say that we brothers don't distinguish each other? ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Empress Xu: "......"

Wang Ning, who followed behind, looked weird, looking at everything that happened here with a strange look.

Zhang Anshi almost jumped up: "The minister has seen Your Majesty, and I have seen the queen's mother." ”

His voice was so loud that everyone in the hall immediately noticed it.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly turned around, and when he saw Zhu Di with a gloomy face, and his mother, his face was immediately frightened: "Erchen...... Minister......"

He originally wanted to call himself a son, but he thought that people might not recognize him as a son, and when he said that he was a minister, he felt that it was inappropriate.

After all, he is now clothed, so he said: "The grass people have seen Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

Zhu Di frowned: "What did you just say, who scolded your mother?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "This ...... This ......"

"You rebel ......" Zhu Di scolded angrily: "You want to harm others, what are you doing with them now?" ”

Zhu Di pointed at Zhang Anshi a few.

He felt more and more that Zhu Gaoxu was a despicable villain, who was not sharing the sky with Zhang Anshi behind his back, but he was like this in person.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that his brain was not enough, and he was speechless.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty is angry, we just drank some wine......

"Drinking?" Zhu Di frowned and said, "Didn't I let you imprison this rebel?" ”

"I'm imprisoned." Zhang Anshi actually said very calmly: "Isn't this imprisoned in Qixia?" Your Majesty...... Zhu Gaoxu and his ministers ...... If you don't fight, you don't know each other, and now ...... Brothers. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Gaoxu said on the side: "Well, the four murderers in the capital!" ”

Qiu Song said coldly: "I'm still the fourth." ”

At this time, it was Zhu Di's turn to be speechless.

He couldn't imagine the current scene, even if the other party was not an enemy, and it would be very red to meet, but at least they should not get along with each other.

Look at the intimate appearance of these guys......

Wang Ning stood behind, feeling even more weird, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu and a group of teenagers in astonishment, and there was a ...... Zhu Gaoxu really feels like a fool.

But after thinking about it carefully, for no reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and subconsciously, his body involuntarily took a step back.

Zhu Di finally spoke again: "What are the four murderers in the capital? ”

Zhang Anshi explained: "The four murderers in the capital, the minister is the capital, they are the four murderers, and they are all a family. Your Majesty, as Fang Caichen said, the minister and Zhu Gaoxu cherish each other, and they don't know each other if they don't fight, and now they ...... He burned the yellow paper, became brothers, and agreed to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I know now that Brother Zhang is the most righteous and has a lot of brains." After thinking about it, the grass people felt that what they did in the past was really not personnel, but now they have repented, and I ...... I ......"

He looked annoyed, and said obediently: "I used to be arrogant, I always thought that I was great, and I didn't take my eldest brother in my eyes, but now I know that my eldest brother is kind-hearted and righteous." I...... It's so confused, too bastard, I never thought that even today, my eldest brother would be willing to accept me. ”

"Grass People...... It's already cloth clothes anyway...... If you want to recognize a big brother, it doesn't matter. Father, don't blame Zhang Anshi, if you want to blame, blame me. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes turned red.

Thinking of his father's 'betrayal' of him, but also thinking of Zhang Anshi's maintenance of him, thinking of many people's ignorance of him, the people who used to surround him, now spurning him, all kinds of emotions, welling up in his heart, he couldn't help crying and choking: "I'm so confused, I'm not human, I'm delusional, I always think I'm great, and now I know how stupid I am!" ”

"So far, the grass people don't have any thoughts, but they are born with a confidant, so what more can they ask for. Today...... The grass people are willing to die. ”

He cried bitterly, his voice was hoarse, he had no acting skills at all, it was all emotion.

Zhu Di looked shocked.

Empress Xu was also so shocked that she was speechless for a while.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "What's wrong with him, I look at this rebel as if he's crazy." ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you're not crazy, you're not crazy, it's okay, your IQ has grown in the past few days, it's just ...... The minister is ashamed, he shouldn't have sworn brother with the prince......"

Zhu Di's face was weird, he looked Zhu Gaochu up and down, and circled around Zhu Gaochu a few times: "But I heard that you hate Zhang Anshi so much that you don't share the sky with him." ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "The grass people are confused. ”

Zhu Di said: "Wang Ning, Wang Ning...... You come forward. ”

Wang Ning shuddered, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and he had already hid far away.

At this time, I had to step forward.

Zhu Di looked up at Wang Ning: "You just said that you saw the King of Han a few days ago, what did the King of Han say?" ”

Wang Ning glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and said expectantly: "Listen...... Listen to the king of Han...... Say ......"

When Zhu Gaoxu saw that it was Wang Ning, his heart suddenly turned cold.

Although the last time they met, Wang Ning showed a distant attitude.

But he couldn't imagine that Wang Ning actually ran to his father to expose him.

His body shuddered.

If in the past, what he realized was that people go to tea and cool.

But what I realize now is that people's hearts are sinister.

When he was messing around with him all day long, the person he thought was closest to him turned out to be like this.

Thinking about the prince and Zhang Anshi again, he framed them at the beginning, but they ...... him

As soon as I thought about this, tears rained down.

He shouted at Wang Ning: "Wang Ning, you dog thief, if you weren't by my side at the beginning, you would have spoken ill of the prince and Zhang Anshi all day long, where would I be today?" Do you dare to say what you usually say? ”

Wang Ning shuddered, his original plan was that even if Zhu Gaochi ridiculed him, he was not worried, the more ruthless Zhu Gaochu scolded him, the more it seemed that he had no personal relationship with Zhu Gaochu.

As for Zhu Gaoxu's words scolding him, in fact, there is no need to care, it can be said that this is Zhu Gaoxu's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, wanting to kill him, anyway, Zhu Gaoxu is finished, everyone is beating the water dog, and no one believes this person's words.

Of course, his most important calculation is that he doesn't know what Zhu Gaoxu confessed to Jinyiwei, and there may be a lot of content about him.

And if these contents were sent to His Majesty and the Crown Prince, they would be enough to put him to death.

Since sooner or later he will be exposed by Zhu Gaoxu, it is better for him and Zhu Gaochu to confront each other, deliberately provoke Zhu Gaoxu, and make Zhu Gaochu choose not to choose his words, so as to greatly reduce the credibility of Zhu Gaoxu's words.

But the scene that happened now directly made him confused.

Wang Ning said: "You ...... You...... You talk nonsense. ”

"Nonsense?" Zhu Gaoxu's teeth were about to be crushed: "You and those people laugh at the prince in front of me all day long, saying that the prince is lame and a wreck, saying that he is not as good as Jianwen, and saying that as long as I raise my arms and shout, all the military horses in the world will only look forward to me, saying that in the future, Your Majesty will die, and the world will be out of control unless I come forward, are these what you said?" ”

How did Wang Ning know, in fact, at Jinyiwei, Zhu Gaoxu was very righteous and no one confessed.

Can ...... today? Zhu Gaoxu shook it all out like pouring beans.

Wang Ning was shocked and said, "I...... I didn't say it, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... His words are not credible, and I beg your Majesty to be clear. ”

Zhu Di didn't pay attention to Wang Ning for the time being, but just observed Zhu Gaoxu, and he suddenly found ...... This son of his own has changed.

There is a feeling of indescribability.

It's still like that......
