Chapter 324: Do You Want to Step on Two Boats?
Zhu Gaochi's expression distorted.
When he first saw this book, the first feeling in his heart was that Zhu Di must have said it.
Because he knew his father too well, Zhu Di must have said such things in order to win over Zhu Gaoxu to help him at that time.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu said too bluntly in King Wu's war, saying that Zhu Di would not say anything like the burp of the prince.
But the words "The son of the world" is equal to this meaning.
Think about it again, Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Hui were still swearing to defend their father.
Even you lied to me, don't I look so deceitful?
He thought of Yao Guangxiao's oath, and suddenly slapped the table heavily: "You dare to swear? Is Gao Xu talking nonsense? β
"This-" Chen Mao and Liu Sheng were dumbfounded, how could they swear by this?
What if, what if, what if His Majesty the Emperor really said it?
These two people still have to make a face, and they will not be like Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Hui, who can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
You look at me, I look at you, of course you don't dare to swear.
Seeing that they didn't dare to swear, Zhu Gaochi suddenly became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and his face turned red.
After Tan Yuan's death, Tan Qing fell, Xue Lu was not there, and Tan Zhong spent most of his time in the palace.
There are not many generals who can speak from his heart.
Zhu Gaochi wanted to get angry, but he knew that he couldn't.
Yao Guangxiao's words flashed through his mind again, at this difficult time, everyone still has to work together as they did in Beiping.
Even if the father said it, it was only to win over Gao Xu at that time. (What if I know what my father said, what else can I do but be angry?) οΌ
Zhu Gaochi sighed secretly, forcibly holding back his unwillingness and shame.
After a moment, he looked up at the two generals: "My question just now--"
"The last general didn't hear anything." Liu Sheng and Chen Mao spoke in unison.
Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly: "I wish you all a victorious return." β
"The last will be retired." Liu Sheng and Chen Mao left the prince's mansion respectfully.
Chen Mao returned home sullenly.
There are quite a lot of people in the family.
Originally, he had six sons and three daughters, the youngest son had not yet been born, and the youngest daughter who married Zhu Di in history was only one year old.
The eldest daughter Chen Huiyin is back, and she is holding her sister Chen Huiyun's hand and chatting, chattering non-stop.
Chen Huiyin had just married Liu Sheng's son, and Chen Mao took the initiative to propose it because he wanted to get in touch with the prince.
This will see her daughter talking non-stop on the side, Chen Mao suddenly regretted it a little.
Chen Huiyin is only twelve years old, he is indeed a little younger, and he should not marry out in such a hurry.
If it's two or three months at night?
Chen Mao sighed secretly in his heart.
Two or three months ago, the situation in the imperial court was quite good.
At this time, his mind also remembered the prince's question just now, and the prince suddenly wanted to know if the emperor said that sentence?
Is the prince curious?
Chen Mao couldn't guess the prince's mentality, but the prince's question made Chen Mao's mentality a little messy?
Because he is also thinking now, when Zhu Gaochu helped Zhu Di ask for the title of marquis for his Chen family, Zhu Di didn't agree, is it true?
People are like that.
The imperial court had not been defeated in a row before, and when Chen Mao first saw King Wu's book, he threw it aside, and laughed at Zhu Gaoxu's villain behavior to sow discord.
But when the imperial court failed miserably, Chen Mao wondered if this really happened back then.
The prince dared to ask them, but he didn't dare to ask others.
Thinking about it carefully, his father Chen Heng was desperate to attack Liu Zhen at night, break Liu Zhen's soldiers and horses, and then gather nearly 100,000 troops and surrender to Zhu Di.
Isn't such a credit ten times better than those princes?
Qiu Fu and Zhu can wait to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, isn't it because he is Zhu Di's cronies?
Emperor, can't you give me a marquis?
The more Chen Mao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
At this time, his mind was the same as that of the prince, always entangled, and the king of Han said to Zhu Di that he was named a marquis, and Zhu Di rejected it was true or false.
"Report." Suddenly there was a report from outside.
Said the son of Qi Guogong, Qiu Song asked to see.
Chen Mao and Qiu Song had little contact, and they were slightly stunned when they heard this, but they still hurried to the front yard to greet them.
Like his father, Qiu Song is an extrovert and a loud speaker.
Chen Mao is a more introverted person, but he doesn't like this, and he feels that this kind of person is more noisy.
But today, when people come to the door, of course, he has to show his enthusiasm.
Qiu Song said, I heard that you are going out to fight, congratulations.
Chen Mao's face was slightly dark, Qiu Fu's father and son really couldn't speak, and people would die in battle, congratulations.
But of course he knew that Qiu Song didn't mean that, it should mean that he could make meritorious contributions and be promoted.
But who dares to win the war? And the opponent is Zhu Gaoxu, who has won all battles.
He could only smile awkwardly.
The two chatted casually, and Chen Mao was still guessing Qiu Song's intentions.
Suddenly, Qiu Song asked: "I heard that Chen Dudu has a daughter, who is knowledgeable and courteous, and Bing Xue is smart. β
βγγβ Chen Mao's expression froze.
His eldest daughter is married, and the youngest daughter is still young, Qiu Song is naturally talking about the second daughter Chen Huiyun, but she is only ten years old.
Then Qiu Song said again, it is the son of Li Bin, the Marquis of Fengcheng, and Li Xian asked me to come.
He seems to have taken a fancy to your daughter, and it is inconvenient for him to speak, so he asked me to come to the door and ask you what you mean.
Chen Mao was furious in his heart, special mother, my Yun'er is only ten years old.
But in ancient times, there were quite a few people who married at the age of ten, and it was really not good to be angry in person.
His face was flushed, first angry, and then quickly circled, why did Li Xian suddenly come to the door.
In fact, before his eldest daughter did not marry Liu Sheng's son, Chen Mao's first target at that time was Li Xian.
Because Li Bin was the Marquis of Fengcheng at that time, he was the Uncle of Ningyang, and everyone had a title, and there was not much difference in status.
Liu Sheng: This will not become the Marquis of An Yuan.
The original history Liu Sheng and Zhang Fu went to fight Annan, and An Yuanbo was promoted.
But this time he didn't go with Zhang Fu, so now he is not even a Bo.
Chen Mao's earliest target was Li Xian, but at that time, Li Bin and Zhang Fu also went to Annan, and this matter was not negotiated.
Later, Li Bin and Zhang Fu were both lost in Annan, and he watched his daughter get older and older, and at this time, Liu Sheng sent someone to the door to propose marriage, so he agreed.
Chen Mao also took refuge with the prince.
Of course, he must now regret marrying too early.
But, what are the benefits of the second daughter marrying Li Xian?
His mind spun quickly, Yongle Chu, Qiu Fu, Li Bin, and Xu Zhong wrote together, asking the emperor to make Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince.
Qiu Fu is a person who has no scheming, and he definitely supports the emperor.
Qiu Song should not understand this truth, but just came to be a lobbyist.
But Chen Mao understands this truth, once he and Li Xian become in-laws, it means that he Chen Mao has stepped on two boats.
Of course, now that Li Bin is missing in Annan, the court cannot be contacted, so it cannot be said that Li Bin must have rebelled against the court.
At least that's a good possibility.
Do you want to step on two boats?
This had to be done a month ago when Qiu Song came to the door, Chen Mao didn't have to think about it, and refused directly.
Because he has already taken the line of the prince.
But now.
Even the prince is asking if it's true.
Chen Mao thought about it, nodded decisively, and said with a smile: "Little girl Huiyun, it's indeed time to find your mother-in-law's house." β
Because the army was about to be dispatched, Chen Mao asked his daughter to take out a personal token, first exchange Li Xian's things with Qiu Song, and temporarily settle down and become a family member.
ββ
October of the fourth year of Yongle, Chengdu.
Zhu Gaoxu, accompanied by Qu Neng and Chen Wen, was entering Chengdu City.
There were many people on both sides of the street watching, seeing Zhu Gaoxu coming, some people shouted Long live the King of Han, and then the entire Chengdu street, Yanmian burst into countless the same voices.
Afterwards, someone learned that there were many people surnamed Gao at the scene today.
Zhu Di gave the world a heavy tax surnamed Gao, and Zhu Gaoxu exempted them from it, so people with the surname Gao in Chengdu and nearby state capitals came to welcome the King of Han one after another.
This is what the people want, and even the officials in Chengdu feel that the Han King is benevolent and righteous.
But Zhu Gaoxu actually didn't like such a welcome scene, mainly for fear of being killed.
Don't look at him as invincible alone, after sitting in this position, he is still very afraid of death.
Because now he can't die, too many brothers follow him, and as soon as he dies, everyone will be doomed.
"Don't arrange these in the future, just like before, organize more manpower and publicize more in the teahouse." Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice at this time.
Chen Wen nodded silently, Qu Neng couldn't help but glance at him, King Han still has this routine?
It turns out that the people in the teahouse were all arranged by King Han?
The three of them quickly passed through the main street, and then went in the direction of the Shu Wangfu.
The brigade of soldiers and horses was clearing the way for them and guarding against outsiders.
The three of them were in the middle, Qu Neng looked left and right to see if there was no one, and then said in a low voice: "It is a good thing for the King of Han to increase the salary of the officials of the world and the brothers of the guard, but if once the world is obtained, there are nearly two million soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, how to provide for it?" β
Qu Neng was worried about whether Zhu Gaoxu could raise it.
Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Don't worry, you only have to fight the war, and the matter of making money and storing grain will be handed over to this king. β
Qu Neng was skeptical, but since Zhu Gaoxu raised his troops, he has not lost a penny or two of his brothers, and this time Sichuan won a big victory, and immediately gave the soldiers a first salary, and everyone still supported King Han very much.
"The King of Shu has a good relationship with you?" Zhu Gaoxu said at this time.
Back then, Qu Neng was affected by the Lanyu case and was almost arrested by Jinyiwei, but it was the King of Shu who didn't have an accident.
Zhu Gaoxu mentioned this matter again, Qu Neng nodded quickly, he served as the commander of the capital in Sichuan, and had a good relationship with the officials of the third division and the king of Shu.
"I want to him." Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.
βγγβ Qu Neng.
At this time, the king of Shu was Zhu Chun, the eleventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and was sealed in the eleventh year of Hongwu. Twenty-three years on the Chengdu Mansion.
Zhu Chun came to Chengdu in 1389 and has been there for 17 years now.
How rich is the King of Shu?
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, according to the treatment of the prince, the prince was 50,000 stone of rice, 25,000 banknotes, 40 pieces of brocade, 300 pieces of silk, 100 pieces of leno, 500 horses of silk, 1,000 pieces of winter and summer cloth, 2,000 taels of cotton, 200 taels of salt, 1,000 pounds of tea, and 50 horses and fodder months.
The treatment of the prince and the prince is the same as that of the prince of the county, and Zhu Gaoxu has also enjoyed it.
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu repented again, and felt that there were too many, so he reformed the system and set the future system.
That is, the prince changed to 10,000 stones, and the others remained the same, with 2,000 stones for the king of the county, 1,000 stones for the general of Zhenguo, and 200 stones for the auxiliary generals, Fengguo generals, and lieutenants of Zhenguoββγ
But these salaries on the surface can only be regarded as drizzle, and what is really valuable is the fertile land that Lao Zhu gave to his sons.
And Lao Zhu is the best for the son of King Shu.
