Chapter 141: Siege of the Tower
As soon as there are many people, there will naturally be small groups, even if it is a gentleman, there are three tables in the huge Tianzihao private room, and there are two groups of people standing on the balcony to enjoy the scenery, and in the center of each group of people there is a young man who looks the most powerful to guide the country, and the others are quietly listening, occasionally laughing or pretending to be pensive.
Now that His Majesty is in his prime, he is not very old, and the officials in the DPRK and China naturally have no princely party, roughly speaking, His Majesty will reign for at least a few decades, who will lose his mind and go crazy to bet on the next emperor now? As a courtier, when he encounters this kind of emperor who wants to do things and is not very young and experienced, it really burns high incense, and many officials are blushing at Fang Xiaoru and the others, why? It is because once they take power, the reins of the Ming Empire will be in their hands for the next ten years.
In this era, the status of the nobles is not as good as that of the officials, so in this small group of gentlemen, the most powerful are naturally the sons of the hot ministers in the court.
The remarks about King Yan just now came from the most conspicuous pile of gentlemen on the balcony, and unlike the gentlemen who were still slowly tasting food in the box, most of them were the descendants of officials, and the one standing in the center was Huang Zicheng's second son.
A Hanlin attendant, a big official, his son actually dared to criticize the vassal king in broad daylight, but everyone present was not surprised, but they echoed it one after another, this situation is really ridiculous.
A loud bang interrupted the flattery of the others, the door of the private room was slammed open, several guards with swords and crossbows gave way, and the young man in a light purple ceremonial uniform walked out, waving away the flying dust, and writing the word arrogance on his face: "Who said that just now?" ”
Gu Huai and Zhu Gaochi, who were standing on the side, glanced at each other, and they both wanted to talk about arrogance, Zhu Gaoxi really didn't have to act.
Everyone in the box was shocked by this change, and when they came back to their senses, they all frowned, and a young man relied on his father to be a scholar of the Criminal Department, and he wanted to scold him when he got up, but he was pulled hard by another person.
It was King An, who had greeted Zhu Di before, and he was still young, he lowered his head, held a glass of wine, and shook his head at his friend.
Damn... Why did you send away a plague god and come with a batch of small ones?
Seeing that no one replied, Zhu Gaoxi's arrogance rose by two points, he snorted coldly, bypassed the table, and walked straight to the two groups of people on the balcony.
The guards rushed in and stood in the corner of the box, the crossbow in their hands had already been wound, and the faces of many people who had been thinking about watching the show changed slightly, and there were turbulent waves in their hearts.
Use a crossbow in the city?!
These people are going to rebel?
Zhu Gaoxi's footsteps did not stop, and he raised his finger and pointed at a group of people: "In broad daylight, you dare to criticize the vassal king?" The court has not reached a conclusion, and as a result, in your mouth, King Yan has become a heinous sinner? Who gave you the guts! ”
The face of the pointed gentleman changed slightly, and this hat was buttoned up... Although I don't know who this person in front of me is, but looking at the appearance of these guards, they must not be easy to get along with, so why bother with this kind of trouble? They quickly shook their heads and turned their gazes to Huang Ershao's side.
The crowd dispersed, and Huang Ershao, who had just jokingly said that he didn't know what name the court would give King Yan, was let out, he stood alone with a wine glass, frowning slightly: "Who are you?" ”
Zhu Gaoxi hesitated a little, looked back at the direction of the door, Gu Huai, who was standing and watching the play, nodded slightly to him, Zhu Gaoxi took a deep breath, rounded his arm and slapped it.
"Smack!"
"King Gaoyang County, the second son of King Yan, entered Beijing to worship the first emperor, who do you say I am?!"
……
The shrill slap echoed through the box, and the cheeks twitched at the earliest.
This slap is really hard...
Half of Huang Ershao's face turned red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wine glass in his hand was thrown out without holding it steadily, and the whole person was almost slapped around... There was a sound of cold air on the balcony, but no one moved.
When Zhu Gaoxi pointed out his identity, they knew what was going on today.
Behind his back, he said bad things about his father, but his son listened to him correctly - the most important thing is that Zhu Gaoxi was still young and did not attack the son of King Yan but directly named the king of Gaoyang County, and no one really could say that he committed the following crimes.
Huang Ershao's face quickly turned iron-blue, his lips trembled twice, and he wanted to say something cruel, but looking at those swarthy crossbows pointing at him, he didn't dare to speak.
Gu Huai, who was standing in the distance, frowned, why the hell wasn't this fooled?
Jinling's Gentle... So grumpy? Don't dare to return the slap in the face? Anyway, his father also climbed to the top of the ministers in half a year, and jumped to the upper echelons of Jinling, how does this Huang Ershao seem to be planning to endure this matter?
Is it accurate that Zhu Gaoxi will not dare to do anything else after slapping him?
Obviously, Zhu Gaoxi also realized that the direction of the development of this matter was contrary to Gu Huai's original intention of making a big deal... He shook his hand, and was hesitating to slap him again, when Gu Huai's voice rang out.
"This thing... Saying that it is not big, saying that it is not small, criticizing the vassal king, and dividing the royal family, it can also punish the crime if it is true, but the Ming Dynasty has always been unable to help but say, I am afraid that the move of the king of Gaoyang County is a bit excessive. ”
Zhu Gaoxi, who was rolling up his sleeves, was stunned, and Zhu Gaochi, who had been watching coldly for a long time, also turned his head in surprise, but Huang Ershao showed a grateful look on his face, and thought that Gu Huai was going to help out with righteousness...
“... The king of Gaoyang County doesn't have to worry too much, but the disaster comes from the mouth, this remark is a bit too much after all, since they are not sensible, it is better to let their elders persuade them well, don't go astray. ”
Zhu Gaoxi's eyes lit up.
He put down his sleeves and exhaled slowly, the grievance and depression that had been pressed in his heart since the time of Peking had actually decreased a lot at this time... He suddenly realized that he liked Gu Huai a lot.
This method of yin damage is much more useful than slapping these faces on this Yuelai upstairs.
On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi was a little uneasy... When they set out from Beiping, their father repeatedly told them that this time the three of them went south to Jinling, and they must not cause trouble, otherwise the court is likely to use them as a breakthrough in cutting the domain... Gu Huai does things, he has seen it, he has always been careful after planning, why did he suddenly become so radical today?
When he asked Gao Xi to do it, he was a little confused, but he still didn't ask out of trust, and even if this matter was done, no one could find out the fault, at most, it made these relatives who were officials in the court feel bad... But now Gu Huai actually wants to do things so desperately?
What exactly does he want to do?
Probably sensing Zhu Gaochi's gaze, Gu Huai shook his head slightly, signaling that he knew what he knew.
He looked at the third elder, Zhu Gaosui, who had a flame dancing in his eyes: "Third son, why don't you surround the first floor, and then let someone bring news to their elders and take it back to discipline it well, how about it?" ”
