Li Jinglong continued to lead the troops and Wu Gao was transferred to Guangxi, and the two news spread to Beiping one after another, and the Yanwang Mansion was even more lively in private than the New Year.

At this time, the Yan army had already determined that Li Jinglong was preparing to attack Beiping again in the spring of the following year, so the king of Yan decided to fight Datong first and not give the southern army a chance to rest.

Because Datong is very important, together with the Yan army, Li Jinglong's side must be saved, Li Jinglong's soldiers and horses are more than twice as far away from Datong as the Yan army, and there are fewer cavalry, so he can take the southern army to run for his life.

Fighting Datong is also the result of careful consideration by King Yan and his subordinates.

At this time, the king of Yan occupied Beiping, Yongping, and parts of Baoding.

There were no enemy troops in the north, and a large force of officers and troops was in the south.

In addition, there is Shanhaiguan in the northeast, it is not easy to fight, as long as Yongping is used to guard it, now that Wu Gao is not there, it is easier and more assured.

There are a small number of officers and troops in Datong in the west, and if they can be uprooted, then there will be no enemy in the west of Beiping, and they can go all out against the officers and troops in the south.

After deliberations, King Yan decided to send troops in late December, and only Zhang Yu's Chinese army was dispatched in this battle, and many of King Yan's henchmen, such as Tan Yuan, Huo Zhen, Xue Liu, Zhang Wu, etc., were all on this road.

And the long-awaited fierce general, the invincible Zhu Gaochu may be detained in Beiping.

End of November.

When Zhu Gaoxu was training with the sergeants in the camp, he received an urgent report from the guards of the Yanwang Mansion.

Princess Xu looked for the king of Gaoyang County.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately rode to the Yanwang Mansion on a shadow.

In the past few days, he spent the most time in the barracks, thinking about how to open his mouth to King Yan every day, and his mother suddenly called him, and Zhu Gaoxu faintly felt that it had something to do with it.

He thought about it all the way, and then came to the conclusion that the princess must not be allowed to speak first.

When he arrived at the palace, he immediately slowed down and waited as he walked, hoping to see Huang Yan.

Huang Yan is in charge of Princess Xu's inner courtyard, and a lot of news can come out from there.

But usually when he doesn't want to see him, this Huang Yan suddenly appeared, and he wants to see him today, and he hasn't arrived for a long time, so he can't help but feel a little anxious.

After a while, he came to the inner courtyard and saw a familiar eunuch outside directing the palace maids and the little eunuchs to move things.

When the eunuch saw Zhu Gaoxu, he also hurriedly brought someone to meet him.

"Knock on the King of Gaoyang."

"Father-in-law Hou is exempt." Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised, this was another henchman of King Yan, eunuch Hou Xian, who was not in charge of this before.

"The princess is waiting for the king of Gaoyang County, please come in." Hou Xian said with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he tried to ask: "Father-in-law Hou will be in charge of this side in the future?" ”

"Yes." Hou Xian smiled with him: "Huang Yan was transferred to the mansion of the Third Highness to prepare various matters for the marriage of the Third Highness. ”

King Yan decided to let Zhu Gaosui marry Jing Shu, proving that Zhu Gaosui also wanted to open a palace, so he had to have a eunuch by his side who understood the marriage of the prince of the county and the affairs of opening the palace.

Zhu Gaosui originally had a good relationship with Huang Yan, so he asked Huang Yan by name.

Huang Yan was transferred? Zhu Gaoxu secretly scolded in his heart, this bastard, took so much of my belongings, and didn't say hello?

Huang Yan shouldn't be this kind of person? Or am I reading it wrong?

Zhu Gaoxu entered the inner courtyard sullenly, and soon came to the house where Princess Xu was.

"The King of Gaoyang County is here." A maid standing outside the door shouted inside.

Then, squeak, the door opened, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be his little aunt Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin seemed to remember the last revenge, glared at Zhu Gaoxu fiercely, and immediately retracted his head.

"Eldest sister, Gao Xu is here."

"Gao Xu, come in, it's cold outside." Princess Xu's voice was gentle and tinged with a hint of majesty.

In the previous defensive battle of Beiping, Princess Xu went to the city wall several times, and the women did not let her eyebrows, which was supported by many generals and civil officials.

Zhu Gaoxu walked in quickly and quickly closed the door.

There was a stove burning in the house, and the temperature was relatively high, and as soon as he came in, he felt a little hot, and when he looked up, he saw that Xu Miaojin and Princess Xu were not wearing coats, and he wanted to take them off, but he felt that it was inappropriate.

"The child meets the mother." Zhu Gaochu actually wants to learn from Zhu Gaochi to call her mother, but I don't know why, I just can't substitute it, and every time the words come to my mouth, I can't say it.

The son of Zhu Gaochi is more quick, every time the mother is mother, the mother-son relationship is called out.

"Hurry up, come and warm your hands." Princess Xu sat on the couch with a small copper stove in her hand.

It should be flushed with hot water, and this thing has been seen in later generations.

Zhu Gaoxu still respects Princess Xu, although she loves the prince and the third brother, but regardless of quality and morality, she is one of the rare women in this era.

He walked past and knelt in front of the couch, and Princess Xu habitually reached out to his face.

Every time this happens, Zhu Gaoxu thinks that Princess Xu is short-sighted? Do you have to touch your face with your hands?

Then Princess Xu clasped Zhu Gaoxu's hand tightly with both hands.

Her hands were soft and hot, Zhu Gaoxu came over against the cold wind, her hands were a little cold, and her face was even colder.

was touched by her like this, and soon her face began to warm.

"Take it." Princess Xu smiled slightly at this time and handed the small stove to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu sensed what she was going to say, and immediately said, "Mother, Gaoxu has something, want to ask the mother concubine to be the master?" ”

"Is it about Jingqing's daughter Jingshu?" Princess Xu said immediately.

"Exactly." Zhu Gaoxu said: "The child and Miss Jingshu-"

"You can't think much about it." Princess Xu directly interrupted Zhu Gaoxu.

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu's face changed greatly.

Princess Xu said earnestly: "Gao Xu, you are very sensible now, you should understand a truth." ”

"As a royal family, we can't help many things, and you can keep things in your heart about the love of men and women."

"But don't do anything out of the ordinary."

"My father's major event is imminent, and we need the support of more court officials."

"Jingqing is quite famous in the court, and being able to get Jingqing's support will also be of great help to your father's affairs."

"Jing Shu is married to Gao Sui, she is a concubine, and her status is respected, there is no reason for you or Gao Chi to be a side concubine."

"This is an important marriage, not an ordinary love affair between children and daughters, Gao Xu, can you understand what your mother means?"

brush, Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red.

It's really red.

That night, Jing Shu's nervous and cute little face was still slowly surrounding his mind.

The warmth of Yingying's grip is like yesterday.

"Will King Gaoyang marry me?"

"King Gaoyang's words count?"

Zhu Gaoxu agreed very happily, because Zhu Di's words never count, so what he said himself must be counted.

But he never thought that Jing Nan had just begun, and he was already going to be like his father Zhu Di, a person who didn't count when he spoke.

"Mother, Gao Xu-I really like Miss Jing, Miss Jing, I also like Gao Xu-" Zhu Gaoxu was a little upset, and his expression was extremely excited.

Although he is good at playing with Zhengzhi and can also lay out the world, he is still a normal man after all, and no man can tolerate his woman being taken away alive.

"Hey." Princess Xu was crying anxiously when she saw Zhu Gaoxu, knowing that he probably really liked Jing Shu, and legend has it that Jing Shu also liked Gao Xu, although she didn't know how the two met, but in this matter, she would definitely support King Yan.

She let out a long sigh and reached out to caress Zhu Gaoxu's face: "Can't you let your brother?" ”

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Princess Xu's words are already a bit serious, you can't let your brother go?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to answer, he just felt extremely upset, and even suddenly wanted to stand up and shout, I don't care about anything, I'm going to marry Jingshu.

But he didn't get dizzy, and knew he couldn't do it.

"There is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower." Xu Miaojin's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Gao Xu, you are still young, you should put your father's affairs first, even if you are a Jingshu girl, you have to obey the orders of your parents, you can marry if you don't want to." ”

Xu Miaojin blinked her eyes and said meaningfully.

She faintly reminded Zhu Gaoxu that this is your parents' decision, and you shouldn't say anything more.

Zhu Gaoxu reacted very violently just now, and even cried, Xu Miaojin was very unhappy with him before, seeing that Zhu Gaochu seemed to be moved by his true feelings, he suddenly felt a little sympathy for him.

Sure enough, it is the most ruthless imperial family, as a court clan, you can't choose who you like at all.

Just look at the two people Zhu Gaoxu married before, both are the daughters of military generals, and they are obviously political marriages.

She sighed secretly, fortunately she didn't decide to marry King Yan, otherwise she might end up bleak like her second sister.

Zhu Gaoxu had already heard the voiceover from Xu Miaojin, King Yan and Princess Yan had already decided, no matter how he did, they couldn't change it.

Unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

Of course he wanted to live.

It's all about the big things.

Zhu Gaoxu is very good at regulating his mood, because he also knows that in the current situation, he can't do it without adjustment.

His expression slowly calmed down, and he was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and forced a smile: "What the little aunt said is right, it is Gao Xu who is impulsive, hey, really, really, that Jing girl, is really beautiful." ”

Jing Shu is known as the first beauty in Beiping, no wonder Gao Xu never forgets it.

Princess Xu showed a smile on her face and chuckled: "Some words are good, beautiful and pleasing to the eye, lovely and pleasant, virtuous and kind but can please a lifetime, if Gao Xu wants to be happy for a lifetime, marrying a wife still has to pay attention to character and virtue." ”

"What the mother taught me is that Gao Xu understands." Zhu Gaoxu nodded honestly on the surface.

But there was almost a fire burning in his heart, and it couldn't be counted like that anyway.

Zhu Di's words that day still came to mind, what we want, we will definitely get it ourselves, this is what your father said.

The mother and son talked again, because Zhu Gaoxu didn't take off his coat, and it was very hot inside, and he was a little sweaty after a while.

Seeing this, Princess Xu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, this matter is decided like this, Gao Xu is sensible, you hurry up and go out to breathe, the room is quite stuffy." ”

Zhu Gaoxu got up to say goodbye, and Princess Xu persuaded him to go out now, he was covered in sweat, and he might catch a cold if the cold wind blew, so he went to the next room to rest first, there was no stove there.

Zhu Gaoxu looked dazed, because he didn't know where he was?

"I'll take Gao Xu with me." Xu Miaojin said at this time.
