Chapter 334 A simple word

It was only March, and it was raining in both east and west of Annan.The rainy season has not arrived yet, and the more rain it goes on.

Before Zhu Gaoxu left Qinghua, Xidu, he met Zhang Fu.Zhang Fu's complexion was very good. He was very happy with the big victory in this game. He was waiting for promotion and promotion.

However, as the head coach, Zhu Gaoxu felt completely different from Zhang Fu's feelings. Instead, he was a little worried and felt a little uneasy.

When Yunnan Prefecture escorted Annan Prince Chen Zhengyuan's men to Jiling Pass, Zhu Gaoxu received news; he returned to Shenglong with his men, one step later than those from Yunnan.

The rains for several consecutive days made the roads outside Shenglong City muddy. When Zhu Gaoxu entered the inner city, many streets were covered with bricks and stones, so the road was much easier to walk.

The houses near the palace were washed away by rain, and there was no dust in the moist air, and the entire city seemed to have been washed away and cleaner.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into a building complex as the headquarters of the Central Army and soon met Duan Xueheng.

He asked a few questions about his well-being and asked: Is the Prince of Annan okay?

Duan Xuehen nodded slightly and said: He is on the queen's side.I also gave Miss Mu a few words...

Let's talk about it later.Zhu Gaoxu said.

He then walked to the yard where Queen Chen lived and saw the queen and her son on the eaves.The queen squatted in front of the child, rubbing his nose with her own hands, and a scene of maternal love appeared in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Chen turned around and saw Zhu Gaoxu. She stood up and led the ages to the corridor under the eaves.She politely said: Congratulations to His Highness the King of Han for his great victory.

Zhu Gaoxu was not very happy and nodded and said: Is the queen in Shenglong just now?

Good.Chen smiled and pulled the child over again, saying softly in Annan dialect.The child bowed in a decent manner and said: Thank you, King Han.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the child and smiled: OK, he can speak Chinese.

The child raised his head and stared at Zhu Gaoxu with his eyes. A child of a few years old knows nothing and is very friendly to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu turned to Chen and said: Zhang Fu sent people back to Beijing to report the victory, got a letter of the people, and brought several Annan people with him, all of whom were bribed after surrendering.I also wrote a memorial saying that Chen Zhengyuan was the son of former king Chen Riying.Where will Annan Kingdom go? Only when my father can decide.

The smile on Chen's face disappeared. After pondering for a moment, he hurriedly said: Your Highness, the King of Han, has already been kind to us mother and son, and we are very grateful no matter what.

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: Queen, please rest assured, my father is a wise and talented lord.Since Prince Annan is justified, his father will certainly make a wise choice.This incident not only helped the Chen family restore the country, but also was of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, Chen said kindly: The King of Han is exhausted, please go into the hall to sit for a while and have a rest.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: I'll go back first and replace this armor.The queen waits for a while and lets you know if there is any news.

Chen sent him out of the hospital.

Zhu Gaoxu came to the house he lived in a few months ago, and eunuch Cao Fu and others came in to help him take off his armor.

He waved his hand gently to signal everyone to avoid it, then sat down on a chair, looked at Duan Xuehen and said: Miss Mu has something to say?

Duan Xuehen said: Before I left Yunnan Prefecture City, I met Miss Mu.She said that the emperor wanted to marry her to King Zhao.

Ah?Zhu Gaoxu made a sound in surprise.

He had just sat on the chair and stood up soon and walked around the room.Duan Xuehen didn't say anything, and stood there silently watching him.

Can the Mu Mansion still marry the royal family?Given Mu Sheng's previous situation, the emperor obviously wanted to win over Mu Mansion...

The first thing that Zhu Gaoxu thought of was that Zhu Di wanted to use Mu Mansion to restrain him in Yunnan!However, he soon thought of another reason, that is, he would be transferred, and the court could only win over the Mu Mansion to guard Yunnan first.

The entire Yunnan Provincial Administration and the General Office have much more natives than the Han people. If the imperial court does not make proper arrangements, there will be a lot of trouble.

The Mu Mansion has been able to calm down the situation for more than ten years, and the facts of the credit are in front of him, and there is no one more suitable person than the Mu family.

Because the Mu Mansion still has a role, it is not surprising that the emperor will temporarily win over it; it is hard to say whether Mu Sheng will be settled in the future... Zhu Gaoxu knew that even if it was a big event, he would have to take care of the situation first, and not everything could be planned for a long time.

Moreover, his father Zhu Di is also facing hidden dangers from the north and may also want to continue to use Zhu Gaoxu's son!

A while ago, Zhu Gaoxu talked about national affairs with Qian Xun in Qinghua.Although the Ming Dynasty had driven the Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains, the Mongolian tribes still had hidden dangers and the wars during the Taizu period were still not conquered.

During the Jingnan Campaign, in order to rebel, Zhu Di mobilized the troops of many guards near the left of Beiping; while Jianwen withdrew the vassal states in the north of Datong Dynasty, Xuanfugu King, and Liaodong Liao King.

After the Yongle Dynasty, the court conferred the title of King Ning in Jiangxi.

Therefore, the problems in the north of the Ming Dynasty are probably more serious than those in the Hongwu period.Zhu Gaoxu felt that he still had value in use, and his father seemed to not let him fall into the sun for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu thought of Mu Zhen as a tool for marriage and the vivid past between him and her. He felt even more and more uncomfortable, and he felt humiliated.

His third brother Gao Sui had a princess, the daughter of Xu Zhang, the former general of the Prince's House, and the niece of He Fu.Gao Sui has been married for several years and has no children. This kind of thing was a big deal in ancient times, and it was obvious that Princess Zhao was retired because of this.

At this moment, Duan Xueheng said: By the way, Miss Mu also said something, I'm not sure what she means. She said she envied me.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that Duan Xueheng had a miserable life experience. What is there to envy Mu Zhen?

He suddenly thought of something, and inadvertently he looked at Duan Xueheng, and the two seemed to think of each other...

Duan Xueheng can stay by Zhu Gaoxu's side often.

For a moment, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and stood there as if he was stiff.In a simple sentence, Zhu Gaoxu continued to think about it according to that meaning, and felt more and more difficult to let go.

When he thought of Mu Zhen in the past, he felt that it was not very good to accidentally see her completely in Liyuan that time.But what Mu Zhen said to Duan Xuehen is clearly expressing her feelings?

As the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, Mu Zhen, who was a legitimate princess, did not do it, and even envy a follower who was following Zhu Gaoxu?

At this time, after thinking carefully, Zhu Gaoxu remembered that the look she looked at her was indeed very different every time.

Until today, Zhu Gaoxu has clearly understood her sincerity.

Zhu Gaoxu's face was covered with sorrow. Duan Xuehen next to him might have guessed what Mu Zhen meant, so Duan Xuehen just said that she was not sure what she meant, not that she didn't know.

Usually when Zhu Gaoxu encounters unpleasant things, he first finds ways to solve them, rather than worrying about spring and autumn.This time was no exception, but he thought about it for a long time and still couldn't save himself.

Even if the emperor's legitimate son and his contributions are very great, sometimes he cannot be arrogant... Otherwise, the emperor would be suspicious: If you don't want me to win over the Mu Mansion, you have already formed a clique with the Mu Mansion and have vented your anger?

Moreover, Mu Sheng was willing to give such a good opportunity, and he had to let his daughter be a concubine for the King of Han?

In this era of neither ups nor downs, the feelings of children are ignored. Only operas that do not enter the elegant hall can be recited, just a pastime after having enough food and drink.

On the contrary, in the older times, the Book of Songs and poems were circulated.

If Zhu Gaoxu stood up and said that beauty is really valuable, he would probably be laughed at by his father, brother and minister!

The rain outside the door was still drizzling, and the sound was not loud, but it didn't stop for a moment, making people irritable.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that the room was stuffy, as if the air was turbid and breathing was not smooth. He glanced at the scene outside and walked out.

However, outside the door was not as cool as imagined, and there was no trace of wind in the rain.Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously stretched out his hand, and then the accumulated water flowing from the gap in the tiles did not say anything for a long time, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

...Not long after, the eunuch Gou'er in the palace arrived at Shenglong City and sent an order.

Zhu Gaoxu welcomed the dog into the yard with a vest and received the imperial edict in the yard. Before the light rain could stop, his body was wet.

After the etiquette, he started to greet the dog and invited the eunuch to take a seat in the middle hall, and served tea and snacks.

Gou'er talked about the mother and son of the Annan King, claiming that the identity of Prince Chen Zhengyuan could not be determined.The emperor asked Zhu Gaoxu to ignore the affairs of Annan Kingdom and do his own business well.

Zhu Gaoxu was even more dissatisfied and did not feel that his father’s decision was justified!

Before, he heard that his father Zhu Di wanted to marry Mu Zhen to Gao Sui, and he was already full of resentment, but he couldn't blame his father for being wrong; because that marriage made sense from another perspective, it just didn't fit the thoughts of Zhu Gaoxu and a few others.

However, this time, the father unreasonably rejected Chen Zhengyuan's identity and insisted on annexing Annan Kingdom immediately, and Zhu Gaoxu did not agree.

Zhu Gaoxu had thought about it many times long ago that even if the court coveted the land of Annan Kingdom, he should not be too anxious at this time.

The court obviously wanted to seize the defenses of the north and the border as soon as possible. In order to avoid fighting on the north and south and not supporting the treasury, shouldn’t it be necessary to stabilize the south first?

If the Ming Dynasty was eager to annex Annan Kingdom, no matter what the result was.Zhu Gaoxu can be sure: the war in Annan Kingdom is not over yet!

What's more, Zhu Gaoxu has been busy for a long time for the Chen clan affairs, but now he is in vain.He even looked very confident in front of Chen, and now he had nothing to say.

Prince?The dog said in his voice.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at the eunuch and said: I will do it according to the will of my father.

Zhu Gaoxu has been a father and son for so long, and he knows some of Zhu Di's character.

Zhu Di disliked others' disobeying his will, and he would not compromise unless he could do so; this was even more obvious after winning the battle of Jingnan to ascend to the throne.

In the absence of help, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to make things boring at all.
