Zhang returned to the prince's mansion and told Zhu Gaochi about Xu Miaojin, constantly implying that Miaojin's whereabouts were unknown for half a year. But Zhu Gaochi was not very interested.

So Zhang said again: "Tie Xuan of the Shandong Provincial Governor has not surrendered yet. The official documents from the capital did not say that the father would lead the troops to attack? When the father returned to Peiping, the prince will be able to follow his father to the capital."

Zhu Gaochi sat on a couch, nodding heavily and without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhang said kindly: "Criminal Master, when you arrive in the capital, don't forget those old ministers who were unsuccessful in the previous dynasty."

Zhu Gaochi immediately said in a deep voice: "Do you think your father is too satisfied with me and think things are not messy enough?"

Zhang whispered: "The prince is the eldest son of the father and the emperor. If he doesn't become the prince, that's enough."

Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly turned dark. While the city was celebrating, he felt like he was forced to go to the forefront!

Zhang glanced at him and said, "Although those people surrendered to their father, it is difficult to get reused... Don't worry about King Gaoyang's prestige in the army. Only peace in the world can civil servants work."

Zhu Gaochi sneered: "Who doesn't show off a rabbit? I have to become the prince first before they can count on it!"

After hearing this, Zhang was very pleased and advised with kind words: "It's good that the prince has that heart. If you advance but not retreat, don't slack off!"

...

At the end of the first month, Zhu Di prepared well and indeed sent troops to Jinan City to fight against the Minister of War of the Jianwen Dynasty, who refused to surrender, and Shandong governor Tie Xuan.

The Yan army attacked Jinan City several times, but it was unable to enter. But now the situation is no longer the same. The world is settled. Zhu Di was overwhelmed with a legitimate army of the royal army, and Jinan City became an isolated city. The resistance of the Jinan City defenders was meaningless and their morale was gone.

So in early February, the royal army invaded Jinan City. Tiexuan broke through and was intercepted by ambush on the road.

There was drizzling drizzle in the sky, but fire filled the city. The Jingnan Army had suffered heavy casualties and wasted troops several times, and all the soldiers from Zhu Di to the army were indignant! So after entering the city, he revenged.

Zhu Gaoxu and others stood in the yard of the yamen of the governor's office. The drizzle on their heads gathered into water droplets on the iron helmet and dripped on their faces from time to time. He reached out to stroke the rain and thought to himself: No wonder the helmet of the Southern Ming Army has a wide brim, so it is still useful to encounter such light rain.

Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty also stood at the door of the lobby waiting. A pile of firewood was burning beside him, and a large pot was built on it. The water inside was boiling and the sound of "gurgling" sounded.

After a while, Tie Xuan was tied up. He stood there with his neck straight, his whole body tense. Zhu Di said coldly: "When you see me, don't you kneel down?"

"A traitor! That's it!" Tie Xuan suddenly spitted. The sergeant beside him kicked him a few times in the lap, but he didn't let him kneel down.

Zhu Di was furious and pointed at him, "You treacherous minister! Treacherous minister! Cut his ears and nose and boil them!"

The sergeant took out his short sword and rushed forward to saw his ears alive. The sergeant's hands were covered in blood. Tie Xuan stared at his eyes, gritted his teeth and didn't hum.

When Zhu Gaoxu looked sideways, he saw the corners of his mouth twitching in the follower Jing Qing's mouth, his eyes shook, and he avoided his eyes.

He walked towards the opposite side quietly, stood beside Jing Qing, and sighed, "Chief Jing, look, this is the end of not knowing the current affairs."

Jing Qing glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and nodded.

Tie Xuan was cut and was still scolding her. The emperor was furious and ordered someone to throw him into a hot pot of boiling water. A scream came, and Tie Xuan's skin immediately wrinkled and changed color, and looked very terrifying...

After watching the execution, the civil and military officials surrendered one after another. Zhu Gaoxu followed Jing Qing out of the yamen of the governor and envoy, and went up to get close to him, saying, "Zhengren Chi Yue and my mother recognize her as sisters. Now our brother and sister call her little aunt, so we are still relatives."

Jing Qing hurriedly said, "I dare not rush to the top. My little girl is already a monk and is not burdened by worldly rituals."

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly again: "I heard from my mother that when I was a senator in Peking, I had a good relationship with my father. Fortunately, Jing Jing was already his own person, otherwise you would be so miserable when Tiexun!"

Jing Qing nodded only. Zhu Gaoxu found that there were beads of sweat on his forehead, or it might be the water droplets dripping from his hat.

At this time, a woman in silk was dragged into the tent next to the yamen. Zhu Gaoxu called a soldier and asked, "Is that Tiexun's family?"

The soldier nodded and said, "It is Tiexuan's wife. The emperor issued an order to let the brothers enjoy it first. When the capital is in the capital, she will send her to the prostitute on the 12th floor. Unfortunately, she is a little older and is in her thirty years old. There is a daughter in the Tie Mansion in the city, who is only four years old, so she can only be sent to the Jiaofangsi to raise her first before committing a cheap career."

A general next to him said, "Damn it, do you still think it's?"

"I dare not." The sergeant hurriedly clasped his fists, and then laughed, "I heard that Tie Shangshu still has family members in the capital, and some young concubines, but I don't know if it's our turn."

The general stepped forward and said, "King Gaoyang, please ask first."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: Could it be that I am such a person in the eyes of the soldiers? He suddenly remembered the incident with Yao Ji in the capital, and it was probably spread. No wonder it was so.

However, everyone misunderstood him a little. Zhu Gaoxu was not from a high school in his previous life and had no particular qualities. However, he yearned for those who were particular and was not willing to do such a big-brow thing in his heart.

He waved his hand and suddenly turned his head and said, "Chief Jing is interested? If you do bad things, you will not have many opportunities."

Jing Qing suddenly widened his eyes, "Isn't I such a person!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't make things difficult for him, and waved his hand to the soldiers and said, "Since it's a sage, you can go."

When the soldiers lined up outside the tent, Zhu Gaoxu deliberately refused to leave and stood there and talked to Jing Qing. Jing Qing had no excuse to leave, so he had to talk to Zhu Gaoxu here as well.

The house of the restaurant came from the screams of a woman's heart, which was even worse than killing her. These women were born in a family of scholars and were all influenced by ethics. How could they bear such insults?

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and looked at Jing Qing and said, "Shangshu Tie has been enemies with his father in Jinan City many times, and even if he surrenders, it will be difficult to survive. But if he does not humiliate him and scolds his father, it will definitely not be so miserable, and most of his family will not be implicated."

Jing Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Gaoxu asked quietly again: "Chief Jing, is it worth it to let your family suffer such a disaster for a reputation?"

Jing Qing pondered: "Sir Tie is loyal to Emperor Jianwen, but he may not want to be unsuccessful in his later years. What's more, he can still keep his name in history..."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "History is just a cold paper, and the relatives around him are living people."

At this moment, Qiu Fu's voice said, "King Gaoyang is still here? Do you really want to go inside?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and shook his head, "We just came out and passed by here."

Jing Qing bowed and said, "King Gaoyang, General Qiu, the two of you are slow to say that the officials have said goodbye."

The two of them returned the gift and watched Jing Qing leave. Qiu Fu led the horse and walked on the street with Zhu Gaoxu. The personal guards behind him followed him from afar and did not come up.

Qiu Fu turned his head and whispered: "King Gaoyang likes beauty, but he really knows how to pick things! He had just entered Beijing at that time, and it was during the national mourning period. What happened to King Gaoyang and the nun? It was known to everyone in the city!"

"That little nie has saved me, and I am in love with her." Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.

"Bad!" Qiu Fu blurted out and cursed, and looked back, "The Lord ascended the throne, we are all waiting for King Gaoyang to be the crown prince, you have to restrain yourself."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and thought to himself: No matter how good the general is to fight, how can his mind be like a quidren? Is it time for me to compete for the position of prince? Qiu Fu meant that he felt very smart, but he had to do the job of a strategist.

"I appreciate General Qiu's kindness." Zhu Gaoxu felt that with the help of a general like Qiu Fu, at least at this stage, he was simply helping him.

The imperial court led the generals to move closer to a vassal king. Can the emperor sleep? Can he sit still? This is even more serious than the formation of a party between the court minister and the prince!

Zhu Gaoxu stood there and said seriously: "The elder brother is the eldest son of the father. He is the crown prince. Our two younger brothers are the princes. They are just in peace. Wouldn't it be good? If I become the crown prince, how can the elder brother deal with it?"

"You..." Qiu Fu frowned, raised his hand and put it down heavily, and sighed vigorously, "Oh! What is the prince doing when King Gaoyang and we are fighting with our heads in front of us?"

Zhu Gaoxu finally couldn't help it, stared at Qiu Fu's eyes and said, "Hold your head and just decline. General Qiu should do it yourself."

Qiu Fu looked unhappy and turned around and left. His expression and footsteps were seen by many soldiers behind him. Could it be that there were the emperor's confidants inside?

Zhu Gaoxu knew Qiu Fu's kindness, and Qiu Fu was very disappointed. But Zhu Gaoxu was still self-aware. He had nothing to do now, only a few thousand soldiers, and Qiu Fu could make a big splash?

Yongle is not Jianwen, and Zhu Gaoxu is not as powerful as King Yan before.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't feel that he was timid, so he returned to Peking immediately. He had decided to save Qu Neng and his son! It was very sinister to do this with his head, but he still wanted to gamble... Some people are hard to come by, but they can't get it if they missed it for ten years; some things are not done now, and there will be no chance in the future.

Zhu Gaoxu has long thought about the current situation: the only way to keep a low profile is to keep a low profile! First, push the elder brother to the position of prince. At that time, the person in the forefront of the storm was the elder brother, so he could roast him on the fire; Zhu Gaoxu could accumulate strength to observe the future.

The crown prince is not the throne, it is not that stable...

What Zhu Gaoxu said to Qiu Fu was not all lies. At this time, the eldest son Gao Chi had no choice, but Zhu Gaoxu still had some room for detour for the time being; if he was aggressive, the conflict would definitely intensify.

As he walked, he turned around and walked towards the soldiers behind him.
