The soldiers protected a tightly covered felt truck and went down the mountain.On the way, a soldier came to report that Duan Baoji was no longer in his mansion in the city, or had already run away!
A general asked whether to enclose Duan Baoji's mansion.
Hu Yi thought about it for a while and then stopped him: It is said that Duan Baoji's Sn in Law was the general officer of Dali and was still in office at this time.We should not act rashly and beware of problems.
After hearing this, Chen Dahui, the general of the escort of the royal palace, agreed.
At this time, the city tower of Dali City was already faintly looking at it, and the few people around looked up at the city, all of whom fell silent.
Chen Dachui said in a low voice with dissatisfaction: I heard that Dali is the territory of the Mu family. We put the body in Dali City, so nothing will happen?
Hu Yi pondered: It probably won’t be the case. Dali Prefecture has long been changed to the land and has been reborn as well.Only the General Dali is not very reassuring... But we can't move the general, even the Dusi can't seize his military power directly; unless the Ministry of War can only let him hand over the military power with just one official document.
As soon as he finished speaking, a military general rode his horse from the other side of the city and said to Chen Dachui: Dusi Gang has another military order, and ordered Dali General Xu Tao to report his duties in Kunming City Dusi!
After hearing this, Hu Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief: It must be the meaning of the King of Han.Unexpectedly, the King of Han did not leave Kunming City, but he thought it very carefully.
……
Zhu Gaoxu was in the Han Palace in Kunming City, and he did not even make a move these days.However, he was probably the one who knew the fastest thing about what happened in Dali; the post road had been occupied by the royal palace guards.
The first person to return to Kunming City was Chen Dachui. He led a team of troops to escort the survivors caught by Diancangshan and Duan Yang's family back to the Han Palace.
Most of the guards sent to Dali remained in Dali City, guarding the two bodies with Hu Yi.
In the main hall of Chengyun Hall, Chen Dachui was very close. He stood beside Zhu Gaoxu and said in a deep voice: Zhao Baihu caught the living mouth, which seemed to be the one whom the deceased believed; Hu Yi asked Zhao Baihu to ask for someone, but he didn't give it to him... Zhao Baihu asked me to send the person back to the Han Palace as soon as possible. He said that none of us had seen Emperor Jianwen and could not confirm his identity. Fortunately, there was a living mouth, and the prince might be able to ask the truth from the living mouth.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu praised: Unexpectedly, Zhao Baihu, the groom, was quite clever.Zhao Ping was a soldier who took care of the mount for Zhu Gaoxu at the beginning, so he said so.
Chen Dachui said calmly: That guy Zhao Baihu is just too sensible.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Chen Dachui and smiled without comment.
Chen Dachui quickly took out some burned paper and proudly asked for credit: I found something burning in Lanfeng Temple, so I quickly put away the remaining ones.Officer Hu also came to grab it, but I took the lead in all the big paper!
Zhu Gaoxu buried his head and rummaged on Chen Dachu's wit.
Where is the living mouth?Zhu Gaoxu asked without raising his head.In his opinion, living people may be more valuable than these fragments of paper in front of them.
Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said: I'll bring it here now!
Slow down.Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the bright doors and windows of the main hall on both sides and left and right, and said, there is a small courtyard behind the study room in the east, where the corridors there are more secrets.
Chen Dahui said: I will understand.
Zhu Gaoxu stood up, walked out from the side door of the front hall, and walked straight east.
The eunuch Huang Gou and several others followed, and Zhu Gaoxu stopped them.
He entered through the clamping path next to the study and arrived at a very small yard.
This place is like a patio, a small open space surrounded by surrounding corridors; if a few trees are planted inside, it looks like a yard.
Not long after the Han Palace was newly built, those trees were still small, and they had just been planted for about a year.
Zhu Gaoxu walked into a larger corridor and found a chair to sit down.Soon, Chen Dachui and others came in with a man.
The man was tied up in various shapes, and his mouth was blocked.Chen Dachui said: When Zhao Baihu caught this guy, he wanted to jump off the cliff and commit suicide.We were afraid that he would bite his tongue, so we blocked our mouths!
Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture: You can wait outside the corridor and don’t let the idle people come in.
Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said: I got the order.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the man in front of him, and the man also stared at him silently.The man had a round face, thick bones and strong body, and he seemed to be a martial arts practitioner.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu pondered: The confidant around Jianwenjun is at least a military general of some level in the capital... Looking at your face, I guess who you are!After he said that, he observed the subtle emotional changes in the eyes of the round-faced man.
The man's mouth was blocked, and he had no intention of trying to speak.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: Jianwen Jun accidentally slid down the cliff, but we can still confirm his identity.Just put the body in the ice cellar and ask someone from the capital to verify the identity.So you don't have to try to commit suicide, it's useless...
If you die, I can only ask the Governor's Office of the Five Army of the Capital to send someone to perform the autopsy. At that time, your identity will be known to the court, and no one wants to protect your family.Do you understand what I mean?
The round-faced man hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Zhu Gaoxu was happy to see this. As long as the other party is willing to communicate with him, everything will be much easier.
So he said: Very good.I will take away the cloth from your mouth and untire it for you.Don't try to do something that is useless, so as not to have no room for discussion with each other, okay?
The man nodded again.
Zhu Gaoxu untied him with his own hands and removed the cloth from his mouth.
The round-faced man immediately said: Your Highness just said that he would not tell me about my identity?
Zhu Gaoxu replied: If you fall into Hu Yi's hands, there will be no room for maneuver in this matter. Fortunately, it falls into my hands!Although I am the son of my father, I am the prince. Like Hu Yi, I am just the minion of my father and dare not do anything without authorization.
After he said that, he looked at the man's thoughtful expression and thought to himself: It's true that he guessed that he was not wrong. This person should be an official with status, and it is very likely that he was a military general. He must have family members in the capital. Moreover, after the Jingnan Campaign, his family members were not settled!
Zhu Gaoxu then struck while the iron was hot and continued: I have guessed who my brother is from.You'd better tell me directly, so as not to find someone to confirm in the capital, as the paper will not be able to cover the fire by then.
The man said nothing.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I have said what I should say.Brothers live here first.
At this moment, the man suddenly spoke: Your Highness, stay.
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked at his face quietly.
The round-faced man pondered: Why did His Highness the King of Han help me hide my identity?
Zhu Gaoxu said: I just said that I have guessed your identity to seven or eight.After saying that, Jianwenjun is probably dead. General He cannot be rebellious. I have a good personal relationship with General He...
Speaking of this, the man's face changed drastically!His eyes were straightened and he stared at Zhu Gaoxu in a daze.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: It seems that I guessed right.After all, you are brothers and look quite similar.
The man finally said: Your Highness doesn’t need to find someone to confirm, the last general is He Lu.Ningyuan Hou He Fu is the eldest brother of the last general.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his face almost burst into laughter. He tried hard to control himself and did not laugh out loud!
Although he just felt that this person was a bit similar to his old acquaintance He Fu, he was still overjoyed after being confirmed!
He Fu's guy made a lot of calculations. His niece married Zhu Gaoxu's third brother. Now he is highly valued by Zhu Di and is so grateful to the emperor... But his brother is actually protecting Emperor Jianwen. He knows that he will not report it, which makes Zhu Di worry about Jianwen for so long!
If Zhu Di knew about this, He Fu would not dare to imagine what happened...
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu laughing, He Lu lowered his head and said nothing, and his face turned red.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: General He, don’t be anxious.I did have a good personal relationship with He Fu. Although we fought a lot of battles in the "Jingnan Battle", after my father ascended the throne, the grudges between each other had long been resolved.
For example, what happened last time.The father led the generals to hunt on Xiaohong Mountain. The first thing he was to compete for was a "Thousand Miles of Snow" sweat-blooded BMW, which many people wanted.At that time, I was comparable to He Fu's prey, and later I asked for excuses to give it to him, and he was very grateful to me.
He Lu stammered and said: We brothers are their own masters, and we will never want to implicate our elder brother.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped his thigh and said: I suddenly remembered that once the Censor Chen Ying, the Censor of the Censorate, impeached He Fu, just to speak up about your affairs, saying that your whereabouts are unknown and you have ulterior motives.Now I think Chen Ying was really right that time!
He Lu said worriedly and indignantly: That guy Chen Ying used to be a scum in the officialdom, and no one looked down on him...
Zhu Gaoxu felt his whole body lighter, and he said very easily: General He doesn’t have to worry. Now I am the only one who knows your identity.Those guards had never seen a general like He Fu with their own eyes, and no one had any evidence to prove who you are; and they were my king's people, so I just wanted to say hello and there would be no problem.
He Lu hurriedly knelt down and said: Thank you, Your Highness for your protection!Finally, I am not afraid of death alone, but I am afraid of implicating the He family...
Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and helped him up and said kindly: I will arrange General He to hide in a secret place, but you have to write a letter to tell your elder brother that you should write something good for me. In order to avoid the story of Jianwenjun being passed on back, your elder brother is worried.
He Lu clasped his fists and said: The only way to obey His Highness's arrangements is to be followed.
Zhu Gaoxu kept nodding: Very good, very good.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked: Are the two dead people really Jianwenjun and his son?
He Lu nodded, immediately knelt on the ground again, and soon started crying again: I am incompetent and not well protected, and I deserve to die...
Zhu Gaoxu advised: Even if he was an emperor, he was still a flesh and blood body. He fell down by himself, no wonder General He.General He risked his family and loyally protected his old master to this day, and he has fulfilled his virtues as a minister.
