Chapter 17 Heaven and Man are Clear and Peaceful
At night, on the occasion of the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I don't know why, the edict was so kind that each person was given a piece of shoddy moon cake...... Interestingly, at this time, regardless of whether it was the dignitaries who didn't look down on this kind of moon cake at all in the past, or the poor people who rarely ate moon cakes, most of them were reluctant to eat it.
Even if there is food, I still chew it slowly with the placket of my clothes, and taste it carefully, as if this is the rest of my life.
Obviously, many prisoners realized that they would not be able to eat the mooncakes of the next Mid-Autumn Festival, and this fear of death overwhelmed the thoughts of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Of course, not everyone eats this kind of shoddy mooncake, at least not the money ability warriors.
Jiang Xinghuo saw that the bearded Gao Yu used a golden bean that shimmered in the moonlight to bribe the jailer and get him in.
"Such a good moonlight, don't you sleep?"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer, he stroked his beard, held a piece of moon cake in his hand, and actually chanted poems to the moon, obviously in a very good mood.
The third brother, Zhu Gaosui, came to visit him with the order of his father, Emperor Zhu Di, and even consulted him for his opinion on cutting the domain.
Zhu Gaoxu directly wrote Jiang Xinghuo's strategy into the fold, and now he is waiting for his father to praise him at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, of course he is in a good mood.
"I don't know the moon when I am young, I call it a white jade plate, and I suspect that the Yaotai mirror is flying in the blue clouds."
Jiang Xinghuo was still lying on the straw pile, and even beat to the beat.
But there was no follow-up.
"And then?" Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help asking.
"When I was a child, I memorized these few sentences when I was studying, and I forgot about it for a long time."
Zhu Gaoxu replied simply, and at the same time stuffed the mooncake into his mouth just as simply, and there was not even any scum left.
"At that time... Study... The old man asked me for the best gentleman..."
After chewing twice and swallowing it, Zhu Gaoxu wiped his mouth and said: "But I don't like to learn since I was a child, and those gentlemen who talk about it also make me dizzy. ”
"Your dad is good for you, too." Jiang Xinghuo bit down a piece of moon cake and said as he ate it slowly.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was habitually angry at first, and then he let out his anger and sighed dejectedly.
"When I couldn't read the book, the old man beat me like a dog with a whip in front of many people. I was stubborn at that time, and the more I fought, the more I didn't read it, and then I stopped thinking about it...... Now that I think about it, the old man might really be good for me. ”
"But I still hate him!" Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and chewed a piece of moon cake as he said.
After eating the moon cakes, Jiang Xinghuo lay down on the straw pile with his head up, and did not solve the problem of family disputes as a teacher, but just listened quietly.
Maybe the other side only needs an audience.
"The old man told me that I was not a reading seed, so he sent him to practice martial arts, a noble family, and the old soldiers who rolled out of the battlefield when Hongwu opened the country were all supplied, and they all said that I was born to be a general."
Zhu Gaoxu squatted beside the straw pile and was still angry: "When Jing was in trouble, the old man told me that my eldest brother wanted to watch the family business, so he asked me to lead the troops to fight hard, and promised me to inherit his title in the future...... Ho, now that I'm in prison, he doesn't even look at it! ”
"Mid-Autumn Festival, let me stay alone in the edict prison."
"It's like I'm a dog on the side of the road!"
"Phew!"
"Gao Yu." Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the bearded man sympathetically, and only said, "You are somewhat similar to the second son of Emperor Yongle." It's okay, people who are emperors haven't eaten the pie, aren't you much less of a gap than him? ”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's heart tightened, and he almost thought that Jiang Xinghuo had seen through his identity.
Seeing that Jiang Xinghuo seemed to be just saying it casually, Zhu Gaoxu was relieved.
However, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shuddered, and he suddenly realized an important problem.
How did Jiang Xinghuo know that his father Zhu Di promised him a cake of "many diseases in the world"?
The reason why Zhu Di dared to turn his face and deny this matter was that apart from the two of them at that time, only a few guards around him heard it, and there were no weighty witnesses.
It is precisely because of this that there will be no more than ten people in the entire Ming Dynasty who know about this.
Jiang Xinghuo was not present again, how did he know?!
Zhu Gaoxu said cautiously: "Mr. Jiang, what kind of statement is this, I have never heard of it." ”
Jiang Xinghuo roughly recalled: "In the battle on the river, Zhu Di's soldiers were defeated, and at the critical moment, his second son led the cavalry to, and Zhu Di stroked his back and said, 'The son of the world is sick, you should do your best', which is to draw a vague pie." ”
"I see." Hearing the phrase "painting cakes", Zhu Gaoxu laughed at himself for a while, "It's so interesting, I don't know where Mr. Jiang heard about it?" ”
"See."
Jiang Xinghuo's understatement made Zhu Gaoxu choke on the mooncakes stuffed into his mouth.
His eyes widened like brass bells.
See... Arrive... Target?!
Zhu Gaoxu was very sure that he was escorting Zhu Di to the top of a dirt slope before stopping, except for the two of them, there were only a few Zhu Di's personal soldiers around him, and no one else.
Where did Jiang Xinghuo see it???
Moreover, according to Ji Gang's investigation and Jiang Xinghuo's self-report, in the last year of Jingnan, Jiang Xinghuo stayed on the painting boat on the Qinhuai River every day and was in the dark with the good girls, how could he teleport to the battlefield hundreds of miles away and see it?
"Mr. Jiang was originally from Yanjun?"
Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Jiang Xinghuo added: "I saw it from the book." ”
Astound!
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the moon outside the skylight of his cell, and a terrifying thought came to his mind.
He suddenly remembered the forgotten next line of the poem.
"The immortals hang their feet, and the laurel tree is a group. The white rabbit pounded the medicine, and asked who Yan was dining with?
The toad has eroded the round shadow, and the bright night has been destroyed. Yi Xi fell nine black, and the sky and people were clear and peaceful. ”
The immortal hangs down his feet... The night is gone... Heaven and man are clear and peaceful...
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Jiang Xinghuo lying on the straw pile with the word "big" lying on the straw pile, his feet hanging naturally on the edges.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the time of death is approaching.
And the omniscient other party is so calm and stable!
Even yearning for death every day!
Coupled with the previous miraculous actions, and so on, almost all point to the same answer!
Mr. Jiang, is it the legendary immortal who saw the past of "Zhu Gaoxu" from the Book of Heaven?
After coming to this conclusion, Zhu Gaoxu forced himself to suppress the shock and fear in his heart, he swallowed his saliva, and asked tentatively.
"Then Mr. Jiang thinks that the second son of Emperor Yongle can become the emperor in the future?"
When Jiang Xinghuo heard this, he turned over from the straw pile, looked at Zhu Gaoxu with his eyes, and said mysteriously: "I promised others that I would not tell others about the future, can you do it like me?" ”
"Of course I can."
Zhu Gaoxu's heart was extremely excited, waiting for Jiang Xinghuo's answer, and even his beard trembled slightly.
"Of course I can."
Jiang Xinghuo turned over again, leaving Zhu Gaoxu, who was stunned in place.
