Zhu Gaoxu took the little eunuch Zhong Xian and walked briskly south, all the way along the Qinhuai River to the south of the imperial city, the expression on his face was no longer the cynicism just now, but very calm, and seemed to be thinking about something.

The little eunuch Zhong Xian didn't dare to make a sound, just followed quietly behind him, but quietly looked at Zhu Gaoxu from time to time.

As a personal eunuch, Zhong Xian found that since entering Beijing last month, King Gaoyang seemed to have changed as a person.

As he walked, Zhu Gaoxu in front of him stopped suddenly.

Zhong Xian almost bumped into it, and quickly stopped.

"Zhong Xian."

"Lord Wang, the slave is here."

"You go to my fourth uncle's house, invite my fourth uncle, and say that this king has something urgent to find him."

"No." Zhong Xian didn't think about it, turned around and walked away quickly.

Zhu Gaoxu walked back alone, and soon came to a courtyard, which was a bit secluded, and there was a team of armor guards outside the door.

When the guards saw him, they quickly opened the door and bowed to him.

He didn't walk a few steps inside, and saw a big fat man sitting in the courtyard, staring blankly at the outside of the courtyard, as if he wanted to go out.

This big fat man is none other than Zhu Gaoxu's eldest brother, Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan.

Behind Zhu Gaochi stood a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who was their third brother Zhu Gaosui.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu coming back, Zhu Gaosui showed joy on his face: "Second brother is back." ”

"Second brother, why did you run out again?" Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth in a blaming tone: "Now that the situation outside is unclear, the wind and rain are shaking, and all the princes of the court are staring at us, you can't stay at home honestly--"

He opened his mouth and said a lot of long speeches, Zhu Gaoxu didn't make a sound, listened quietly, and after listening, he smiled: "What the eldest brother said makes sense, Gao Xu will know in the future." ”

Ignore it and go straight to your room.

"Hey." Zhu Gaochi shook his head helplessly, he also wanted to stand up, but his legs were a little weak, and his chubby body shook slightly.

Zhu Gaosui hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and then helped him up.

The third brother is the youngest, but those eyes are the most flexible, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu's back and smiled: "Big brother, don't be angry, the second brother has been a lot more restrained recently, and he came back quite early." ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at the third brother appreciatively: "If Gao Xu is so sensible as you, I can rest assured." ”

Zhu Gaosui looked like an obedient baby and listened respectfully.

About half an hour later, Xu Zengshou came.

Xu Zengshou is their fourth uncle, and the mother of the three Zhu Gaoxu brothers, Princess Yan, is brother and sister.

He followed Zhong Xian to Zhu Gaoxu's room, and saw Zhu Gaoxu writing calligraphy in the room.

Xu Zengshou is a little strange, Taizu didn't like Zhu Gaochu very much during his lifetime, because when Zhu Gaochu was studying in Nanjing, he didn't learn and didn't have skills, and he was stubborn, when did he start to learn to write.

He looked up at Zhong Xian, who quickly withdrew and helped them close the door.

"Did Gao Xu ask me to teach you how to write?" Xu Zengshou is not much older than Zhu Gaoxu, and they both like Fengyue, the two of them get along very well, and the tone of their voice is not like that of their elders, so they tease him when they meet.

Zhu Gaoxu looked serious, and was slowly writing one stroke at a time, and said slowly while writing: "Many celebrities in history are versatile, but sometimes everyone learns so many things, not necessarily to be useful, but to be able to ------ at a critical time." ”

Xu Zengshou didn't know what pretending to be forced was, but judging from the literal understanding in front of Zhu Gaoxu, he could guess what Zhu Gaoxu meant.

"Gao Xu, you seem to be a little wrong lately." Xu Zengshou smiled, and sat on a chair next to him: "Say, where do you want to play tonight?" Fourth uncle, please. ”

He thought that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to find him to go out at night again.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the pen, picked up a rag on the side and wiped his hands, and then slowly put down the rag.

His whole movement is slow and rhythmic, and the key looks very temperamental.

Xu Zengshou on the side shook his head, almost thinking that he was dazzled.

Zhu Gaoxu, who is known for his rudeness and ferocity and good fighting, actually looks like he also has an elegant side.

It's over, Gao Xu has been locked up for a long time, and people have been locked up stupidly, Xu Zengshou thought to himself.

"Fourth uncle came to see my words, how did you write them?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Xu Zengshou rolled his eyes, reluctantly got up, and walked over to take a look.

"Walk for the top"

Four words were written on it.

To be honest, these words are really a mess, and Xu Zengshoujue's own writing with his feet can be better than what Zhu Gaoxu writes.

"Not bad, not bad, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the pen is exquisite--" Xu Zengshou praised seriously.

Suddenly, his face turned straight and he stared at these words.

After a few glances, he raised his head: "How to go?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him quietly: "Fourth uncle, in the eyes of today's saints, who do you trust the most?" ”

"Of course it's Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai."

Now these two people in the DPRK and China are Jianwen's confidants, and whenever there is an important matter, they will discuss with the two of them.

"Among the two, who does the Holy One trust the most?"

"Huang Zicheng." Xu Zengshou said.

It's not that he's smart, it's that the whole world knows about it.

"Fourth uncle, do you have any senses, Huang Zicheng likes to be with Qi Tai very much?"

"What Qi Tai opposes, Huang Zicheng will support, and what Qi Tai supports, Huang Zicheng will oppose."

"Is there one?" Xu Zengshou disturbed his head, he really didn't pay attention to this.

Huang Zicheng either wants to prove that he is stronger than Qi Tai, or he wants to prove that he is the number one favorite in Emperor Jianwen's heart, so he likes to work against Qi Tai.

"Please go back and persuade the eldest uncle, let the eldest uncle find Qi Tai, please Qi Tai in front of the emperor, say a few good words for our brother, let us go."

“。。” Xu Zengshou looked dazed.

After half a ring, he said strangely: "Is it useful for me to say this?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said slowly: "Uncle is extremely disgusted with me, of course you can't say it so bluntly. ”

Xu Zengshou laughed, flashing a look that counted you as interesting.

"You go to your uncle, quietly look for her, and say so--"

Zhu Gaoxu whispered.

Xu Zengshou's face slowly showed joy, and he applauded: "Wonderful, wonderful."

Xu Zengshou shouted a few times, and then looked at Zhu Gaoxu strangely.

"Gao Zhao, there is a master behind you? With your head, you can't think of it. ”

"Heaven must not be divulged." Zhu Gaozhao looked unfathomable.

"You wait, I'll try, haha." Xu Zengshou laughed, turned around and strode away.

Not long after Xu Zengshou left, Zhu Gaoxu was still packing up his things in the room, and Zhu Gaosui's voice came from outside.

Then Zhu Gaosui walked in, he still looked like a good baby: "Second brother, don't be angry, the eldest brother just said so much, he also cares about you, we are three brothers, second brother, you are the most brave and courageous, we are in the capital, but we have to rely on you." ”

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and looked at this well-behaved baby-like little brother, and after thinking about it, he suddenly scolded: "Hmph, he thinks he is the eldest brother, so he can scold me casually, third brother, the two of us are the closest since childhood." ”

"Second brother." Zhu Gaosui's excited tears were about to squeeze out, and he nodded desperately at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaozhao looked at him with a moving face, in fact, he was scolding in his heart, you are the worst dog.
