Chapter 489: Beautiful mountains and rivers

Lei Tian Geng Hao and others escorted the wife and prince of King Jingjiang to leave from the north gate of the city.

They planned to go to the Huguang Administrative Office first, and after meeting the General Zhang Fu, the Pinghan General, and reported the situation in Guangxi, before going to the capital.

The Beijing officials ran away, and the attitude of the officials in the Sansi Office of Guangxi began to change significantly.

Those who are interested can feel such changes from the details of titles. In the past, everyone called the rebel king and the rebel army, but now the army that is in a hurry is generally called the Han king, the Han king army, and even the people who call the criminal army...

In late August, the Han King's Central Army arrived at the southern gate of Guilin Prefecture first.

Humane is the best in Guilin's mountains and rivers, and it is indeed well-known.Even near the largest city in Guangxi Provincial Administration, you can see green mountains and green waters everywhere.

The sky is extra clean on a clear autumn day, with white clouds floating.

The ancient city towers, pavilions and pagodas are integrated with the beautiful natural scenery, as if there is no sign of carving; it is like such a landscape, which should naturally be matched with such oriental classical architecture and culture.

The gate of the city, which had been martial law, slowly opened with the heavy and unpleasant sound of crunching wood.There were bursts of cheers in the army outside the city.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse's back, looking at the city gate, and a smile gradually appeared on his bronzed face.

The great cause has not been successful yet, and the faint pressure is still hidden in my heart, but Zhu Gaoxu undoubtedly believes that the goal in front of him is completed very perfectly!

There may be endless things in life. When you have finished one of these steps, why not let yourself breathe a sigh of relief?

The personal soldiers and elite cavalry opened the way, and the Han King's banner began to march towards the city gate.Zhu Gaoxu was wearing heavy armor and followed closely behind.

Many officials walked out of the city gate and came forward to greet them.

When the cavalry in front passed, Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse to the side of the road and rolled over and dismounted. He said to the officials who were bowing and standing on the roadside: This is Zhu Gaoxu.

Several officials in the red robe looked at each other for a moment, and were about to kneel down to salute.Zhu Gaoxu had quick eyes and hands, and stepped forward and held an official's forearm and said: Come on!

The officials stopped for the time being and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with fear and complex eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is my grandfather, but I am not the emperor and cannot be exceeded.I am not a conqueror either, this world is the world of Ming Dynasty.

He paused a little and spoke very friendly. My colleagues don’t have to give in. You are also officials of the Ming Dynasty. You are just reexamined the truth and decisively abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. It is really gratifying!Also, because you love the people as your son, put the people first, and do not want this beautiful Guilin to suffer a tragic disaster. This is a commendable virtue!

When everyone heard this, the heavy atmosphere gradually began to fade.Finally, a red-robed official shouted: His Highness, the King of Han, is wise and powerful, understands his feelings, the country is fortunate, and the people are blessed!

In an instant, everyone agreed. The King of Han was very kind and martial, and the righteous, and the lower officials regretted that they could not surrender as soon as possible... The lower officials were looking forward to a righteous army every day. Today, the King of Han finally came to our residence. His colleagues dared not to open the city to welcome him...

Zhu Gaoxu's face was already laughing when he heard so many praises.Wang Bin, Hou Hai and others around him were also smiling.

Oh, I dare not take it, I dare not take it.Zhu Gaoxu held his fists and said, "After a while, the officials of the Han Palace will be listed as the People's Rest. My colleagues asked the yamen runners to help post and inform the officials and the people. We have strict military disciplines in the attack on the criminal army and strictly prohibit soldiers from raiding civilians. We told everyone to perform their own duties and do their own affairs with peace of mind."

Everyone praised again, and the people in the city were fortunate.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked: Where is my virtuous nephew, King Jingjiang?

An official bowed and said: His Highness, the wise and virtuous prince of Han, who was wise and victorious, asked, "The King of Jingjiang was in a state of ill health and could not do anything, and ordered his subordinates to apologize to His Highness the King of Han."

knew.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and went into the city together!

So the army entered the city, and the streets soon began to beat drums and drums and play rituals and music.After the whip, someone on the city tower read an article praising merits.

Officials from the Sansi have prepared a beautiful garden mansion for the Han King near Fuqian Street.

Zhu Gaoxu was not picky and immediately decided to be the camp of the Han Palace. After his personal soldiers finished checking, he moved straight in...

Except for a few frontier vassal kings, most local vassal kings have no real power and cannot interfere in the military and political affairs of the government; but people like Jingjiang King are very famous in Guangdong and Guangxi, and his attitude is still very important.

After Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the camp, he found that many things in the mansion had not been taken away, probably because the officials in Guilin Prefecture were in a hurry when preparing the house.

Zhu Gaoxu was not polite, so he asked someone to open the warehouse to get a ginseng, and sent Hou Hai as an envoy to take the ginseng gift to the Prince of Jingjiang Palace for a diagnosis.

Hou Hai came back in the afternoon and went to the study room in the front yard to meet Zhu Gaoxu alone.

Hou Hai reported: Prince, then King Jingjiang is really sick!When the lower official was allowed to see him, he looked at his seal hall and his skin was pale, bloodless and decaying. His expression and behavior were not like pretending to be sick.The lower officials asked the doctors in the palace again, all of whom said that King Jingjiang had been sick a few months ago, and the people in the palace could prove it, and they had not recovered for a long time.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded: It’s not just about pretending to be sick.

Hou Hai said again: When King Jingjiang met, he said that he had no intention of getting along with his uncle, King Han. If his uncle had something useful in Guilin Mansion, just give him the order.He also asked Xiaguan to come back and bring a message. He wanted to invite you to the palace to talk.

Zhu Gaoxu became more and more satisfied the more he listened.He has been living a hard life on the battlefield for a long time, but in the past few days, he felt that everything is going well for the time being.

However... Hou Hai took two steps forward and bowed to him. When the lower official heard that King Jingjiang had two sons, he asked a traitor from Beisi in Guilin Mansion. It turned out that King Jingjiang had sent his eldest son away in advance, and only the second son was still in the royal mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu had a sudden expression and made a sound like um...

He stood up from his chair, paced in the room for a while, and walked to the door, thinking about something and didn't say anything for a long time.

He looked up and saw the shadow of Duxiu Peak.Duxiu Peak is included in the Jingjiang Palace, making the palace look extra special.

Ask someone to prepare, I will visit King Jingjiang now.Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned around and said.

Hou Hai reminded carefully: What will happen to the Jingjiang Palace?

Zhu Gaoxu said: King Jingjiang just doesn’t want to bet the wrong treasure, nothing will happen. I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed in the city, who dares to act rashly? Call Wang Bin and take a team of guards to accompany him.

The subordinates obey the order.Hou Hai bowed.

In the past two years, Zhu Gaoxu personally led the army, often living in a straw shed and dilapidated house, and traveling at any time. Many princes' ceremonial etiquette have long been deserted.

But that's fine. He was ready in a short while. The so-called preparation was nothing more than changing his clothes.

King Jingjiang belongs to the prince in terms of legal rituals, but the Prince Jingjiang Mansion is obviously not the standard of the prince... Zhu Gaoxu has also been the prince. In the past, the Prince Gaoyang Mansion was completely different!

Zhu Gaoxu entered the Jingjiang Palace from the South Gate Tower. The name of this gate is Duanli Gate, which is exactly the same as the name of the South Gate Tower of the Han Palace.

When you enter the royal palace, you can see how wide the land and the number of houses it covers, it is not inferior to Zhu Gaoxu's Prince's Mansion in Yunnan. The scale of various temples is not much different from that of the Prince's Mansion, but there are mountains and waters in the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion, and there are many unique pavilions and towers... Zhu Gaoxu has to admit that his Han Palace seems to be the worst prince's mansion.

A chief minister named Xiao came to greet him with some officials and palace servants.The group led Zhu Gaoxu into Duanli Gate and arrived at Chengyun Hall.

Fortunately, Zhu Zanyi, the King of Jingjiang, did not lie on the bed to see Zhu Gaoxu. He was supported by two palace maids, standing outside the door on the base of the hall, and making a move to struggle down.

Zhu Gaoxu walked a long way, stepped forward to support King Jingjiang, and said: Be careful, nephew!I didn't want to bother my nephew to recuperate, but I rarely come to Guilin once, and I will always feel a little regretful if I don't meet.

King Zanyi of Jingjiang said with difficulty: Uncle, my younger generation is so polite.

You're welcome, they're all family members.Zhu Gaoxu said with a calm face.I saw the man in front of me, who looked older than Zhu Gaoxu and seemed to be older, but he was still a junior in terms of seniority.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: Actually, our uncle and nephew have met you.

Ah?King Jingjiang obviously forgot.

Zhu Gaoxu said: At the end of Hongwu, his virtuous nephew traveled everywhere under the order of Emperor Taizu and visited relatives of various vassal states. He had visited Peking.But at that time, it was mainly my father who came to receive you, and you were afraid that you wouldn't remember me.

King Jingjiang suddenly said: Yes, right!

It was originally a relative, but after only seeing each other once, King Jingjiang was very excited.The distance between the two seemed to be much closer.

It was windy outside, and my nephew wanted to calm down the disease.Zhu Gaoxu said.

King Jingjiang said: Please, uncle.

King Jingjiang was helped in and asked Zhu Gaoxu to sit in the upper seat; there were two chairs side by side, but King Jingjiang did not come over to sit on an equal footing. He leaned weakly on a chair in the lower head.

King Jingjiang was breathless and gasped for a while, then took a rest before speaking: What I envy most is not that my uncle can fight and be powerful in the world, but that you are strong.Now my body is full of wealth and wealth, and my wives and concubines, what's the use...

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: My nephew is happy to rest and will definitely be cured.

During the greetings, an eunuch bent over and walked in.The eunuch said something in the ear of King Jingjiang. After hearing this, King Jingjiang said: Ask Madam Li to bring Zuo Min in and pay homage to his uncle.

yes.The eunuch retreated.

After a while, a young and beautiful woman appeared outside the door, holding a child.

The woman was probably the concubine named by King Jingjiang, who was named by Mrs. Li, the vassal prince’s mansion, and the child should be his second son Zhu Zuomin.
