"If something like this happens, why don't you come to look for me?"

In the Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Di, who was walking slowly, was followed by Gu Huai in a green shirt, and the figures of the two were one after the other, occasionally flashing between the grass and trees.

"At first, I just thought that this kind of clan affairs was not too troublesome for the prince," Gu Huai shook his head, a little helpless, "But in fact, today's subordinates also plan to borrow the power of the prince, if they don't forgive, they have to take out the brand of the royal mansion." ”

"Since it was given to you, it was meant for you to use, so why hide it?" Compared with the previous time in the government, Zhu Di's face is much better, "You don't have to reason with some people... Fortunately, Zengshou came to the palace yesterday and informed me of the original situation, otherwise today that Fang Xiaoru went to the palace, and you are afraid that it will not be easy for you to come out safely. ”

"Longevity?" Gu Huai stopped, his pupils dilated, "Xu... Longevity? ”

Zhu Di turned around and looked at it, a little puzzled: "It's my brother-in-law, haven't you seen it?" Yesterday, he also went to the government to intercede with you, and heard that Ying Tianfu Yin said that Fang Xiaoru personally inquired about the matter, so he came to ask me to give you the town. ”

So that's what happened... Gu Huai couldn't cry or laugh, the rich son who accosted him by the Qinhuai River was actually the third son of the Zhongshan Palace, and he was also one of the people with the highest military rank in the Ming Dynasty.

Just remember a Xu Huizu... After all, Xu Zengshou really didn't leave too many traces in the original history of Jingjing.

No wonder he looked at himself so strangely... Tsundere Lori still lives in her ancestral home.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Gu Huai's face became more solemn, although the current atmosphere is not suitable for talking about some things, but Zhu Di can not think about it, but Gu Huai can't help but mention it.

"It's time for the prince to go back to Beiping."

Zhu Di's footsteps also stopped: "Isn't it too fast?" ”

Only half a month has passed, and the death day of the first emperor is approaching, as a son of man, he should have to wait for a while in terms of etiquette.

Gu Huai shook his head: "Can't wait." ”

"If something happens to the King of Xiang, there will only be two reactions from the court."

"Either they are forced by public opinion to completely withdraw the will to cut the feudal domain, and secretly wait for the turmoil to pass."

Zhu Di understood: "Or take a gamble, start more ruthlessly, and be more anxious than before?" ”

Gu Huai didn't speak, but obviously acquiesced.

Zhu Di's expression changed, as if he couldn't make a decision for a while, and at the same time, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart - how the good nephew would choose don't need to think about it at all, the court has cut the feudal domain here, and a vassal king has self-immolated, can he still stop it?

He really dared to be so cruel to his uncle!

Even if his original intention was not to let the twelfth brother commit suicide, self-immolation was just a choice made by the twelfth brother himself... But if it weren't for him pressing step by step, how could such a thing happen?

At this time, Zhu Di obviously didn't know that His Majesty, who was known as benevolence and filial piety, was ready to give the king of Xiang a nickname of "戾" at the instigation of the three auxiliary ministers, let alone that two more vassal kings were demoted to concubines, but the news had not yet reached the capital.

If he knew, he must have felt two points deeper in his heart at the moment.

"Tomorrow's court meeting, I will go up and ask me to return to the domain," Zhu Di let out a long sigh, "Let's see how the court reacts first, but the hundred officials in the court are afraid that they are going to laugh at me and I was frightened by the actions of the twelfth brother." ”

His voice was extremely obscure, as if it came from Jiuyou: "Jokes are jokes, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, but Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, these traitorous villains... Dividing the royal family and clansmen, forcing uncles and nephews to kill each other, the great country left by the father and emperor will be made into a miasma by this group of pretentious and hypocritically corrupt Confucians! The hatred of the country and the family is nothing more than this, if I can't slash these people, what face will I have in the future to see my father and the emperor, and to see the twelfth brother? ”

"Your Highness has changed your mind?"

Zhu Di knew what Gu Huai was talking about, and that Dao Yan had already mentioned the topic countless times.

The imperial court wants to collect military power, or not? The imperial court wants to exterminate the vassal kings, or not? The imperial court is now even forcing the vassal king to self-immolate, or not?

He waved his hand: "You go back first, I have to think about it." ”

......

Gu Huai, who walked out of the Yan Palace, was actually not too disappointed, because Zhu Di's tone was obviously much looser.

Compared with the previous words that vaguely revealed the meaning of only resisting and not rebelling, the seed planted by Daoyan and Gu Huai in Zhu Di's heart is already breaking the ground.

It's normal for him to hesitate, the vassal king is also a human being, the cost of rebellion is too great, and the hope of success is too slim, if he agrees to Dao Yan Gu Huai's suggestion of a madman who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, then Zhu Di really has a problem with his brain.

As a general who guards Beiping and has led the army for many years, Zhu Di is definitely not an indecisive person, and it can be seen from some things in the history books that he is the kind of person who will never look back once he has a decision.

And now this hope has been wiped out by the imperial court itself... The dignified vassal king was forced to self-immolate, and he really couldn't allow Zhu Di not to think about whether the person in the fire would become himself in the future.

In this way, Fang Xiaoru and the three of them really spared no effort to promote Zhu Di's rebellion...

In short, in the face of this kind of big event, the little bit of bad things in the Gu Huai clan really can't be put on the table, after the government heard about the self-immolation of the King of Xiang, Zhu Di, who was distracted, issued a death threat, Fang Xiaoru, who understood the reason for the matter, also decisively did not continue to make a fuss about this matter.

Who knows if Zhu Di will go crazy?

It's just that I pity Gu Nian, I don't know if Fang Xiaoru will find trouble with him after he goes back, after all, he dragged Fang Xiaoru into the water in this matter...

If the trend of history is not completely changed, Zhu Di will definitely be able to return to Beiping, but Gu Huai is not sure what moths will come out of this now, so he needs to make two preparations.

If the imperial court agrees to Zhu Di's recital, it is naturally the best, but if it does not agree, it is impossible to say that Zhu Laosi will have to act for thousands of miles and ride alone.

At this time, fast horses, supplies, and a hidden route are needed.

The pharmacy is not far from the palace, and Qingming is a cautious person, so maybe this matter will have to fall on him.

Outside the palace is the most prosperous East Street in Jinling, with shops like a forest and tourists weaving, even if he wants to go slower and sort out the latest things, Gu Huai was also surrounded by the crowd and sped up his pace, until he saw the signboard of the pharmacy from a distance, he could take a breath.

Qingming, who was dressed in a satin robe, was weighing the medicinal herbs in the open shop, but he had the appearance of a pharmacy shopkeeper, Gu Huai was about to walk over, but suddenly noticed a calm gaze.

It was a middle-aged man with a bun and a moon-white uniform, with a face like a crown of jade, a handsome man, and standing under the eaves of the pharmacy with his hands in his hands.

His expression was calm, and his eyes were like stars: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
