"At the beginning of a person, one is good in nature. One is similar in nature, but one is far away from one's habits..." Lang Lang's reading sound came from the Wen Building of the Hanwang Mansion. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and saw a large group of young and strong men reciting primary school. He felt that the scene was indeed a bit strange.

However, he created this strange thing himself. The ones who came to study were the "Official Guarding Hundred Houses" and the soldiers of the Royal Guards. Zhu Gaoxu found that more than half of these men could not read, so how could they use them to illiterate?

In the lobby of the Mingwen Building, there was originally a place where elegant Confucian scholars talked about scriptures and scriptures, but now there were two or three hundred black men sitting upright. Hou Hai, who was teaching, was studying in the crowd while paced.

Hou Hai was the first to see Zhu Gaoxu, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, bowed and said, "Greetings to the prince."

Wang Bin, who was sitting in the innermost part, turned around and looked at it, stood up first, and the group of men stood up almost at the same time, turned around and held their fists at the door to salute.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: "Forget it, you guys continue, I'm just passing by and taking a look."

After saying that, he left the gate of Wenlou. Qian Xun, the chief minister beside him, said calmly: "The prince asked the martial artist to study in Wenlou. If it is spread, the scholars in the world will definitely criticize the prince for favoring martial arts and over literature, which will insult his culture. The prince must observe it."

"Well..." Zhu Gaoxu made an undeniable voice. After a while, he realized that his tone and posture seemed to be similar to when his father made this sound.

The right way is that those who are close to the red are red and those who are close to the ink are black. Unconsciously, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have learned some things from his father unconsciously.

Qian Xun said nothing, and the two walked around the street in the front hall of the palace. Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused and lowered his head and thought silently.

He was thinking that Mu Sheng could also be regarded as the relationship between the father, prince, Mu Sheng and him.

As for Emperor Jianwen, that was not the person Zhu Gaoxu valued the most. What he deserved most now was the conflict within the King of Yan, and the old party of Jianwen was irrelevant.

...First of all, Zhu Gaoxu's own long-term plan has never changed. That is: when one day, when others threaten his and his family's safety, they will directly rebel! They will never want to sit and wait for death like the King of Han in Shi | to wait for others to smear him as a black-faced thief.

However, it doesn’t matter whether you want to rebel or not. Whether you have strength is the key. As long as you have strength, your opponent will lose his skin even if you don’t die. Don’t think so easy!

Then, he tried to find a way to gain strength. He had been doing this for a long time, and he hid several of the most capable generals of the Jianwen Dynasty, which was the only thing he had taken the risk under the eyes of his father.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has arrived in Yunnan, even if someone monitors him, he is still far away from the emperor and has many things to do. He is a newcomer and currently believes that Mu Sheng is the most important thing to Yunnan.

...There are two most favorable consequences for Zhu Gaoxu: either get rid of the Mu Mansion, which is the Han Prince's Mansion, which dominates Yunnan; or win over the Mu Mansion and become his helper.

To achieve the former result, the prince | party will not sit idly by, and the father will feel pressured. There is also a side effect. The Mu Mansion has a high prestige among Yunnan chieftains. Without the Mu Mansion, the Yunnan chieftains may lose control for a while.

But the latter is more difficult. After Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yunnan, he never saw Mu Sheng and thought about this person every day. He felt that Mu Sheng was unlikely to directly raise an army to resist the court, unless Mu Sheng felt the catastrophe and wanted to kill him.

Otherwise, the risk of rebellion in Mu's mansion is too high and the benefits are too low. Mu Sheng is already the uncrowned king in Yunnan. Besides being the emperor, what else can prompt him to raise an army?

Zhu Gaoxu had no idea at the moment. He wanted to open up the situation in Yunnan first and take a look at it one step.

...

Geng Hao was the grandson of Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, and the son of Geng Qi.

A few days ago, people from Mu's house were looking for thousands of years of Korean ginseng everywhere in the city, and they heard that Musheng, the Hou of Xiping, was sick. Yesterday, Geng Hao had something happened in the Liyuan and did not see his cousin Mu Zhen, so he went to buy Korean ginseng.

This morning, Geng Hao was preparing to go to Mu Mansion with Korean ginseng.

The old man who set up a street stall to sell Korean ginseng said that although this ginseng is not a thousand years old, it is a hundred years old. A disease that can be cured by a thousand years old ginseng can be cured. Geng Hao spent a full five stagnant of money for this!

Geng Hao searched through boxes and cabinets everywhere in the manor house that Mu Mansion gave them, and then cut out a piece of red silk for women with scissors, put it in a carved wooden box, then carefully placed the ginseng inside, and closed the carved wooden box.

He placed the wooden box on the table, put on a deep dress with a black white background, then carefully tied his hair in front of the bronze mirror, pressed his slender fingers on his hair, picked up the Confucian scarf and put it on. He gently swung his head back, and the two straps of the Confucian scarf floated behind.

He turned his head left and right to the bronze mirror, looked at his pretty face in the mirror, and looked at his outfit from all angles.

Then Geng Hao picked up a jade pendant and hung it on his waist, hung it on his purse, and then picked up three neatly folded white handkerchiefs and placed them in two sleeve bags. Finally, he picked up a paper fan and walked out of the door of the wooden box.

There were hoes, bamboo bags and other farm tools in the yard. Geng Hao had never touched them before, and frowned when he looked at them. He used to be the grandson of the marquis, but now if he wanted him to mingle with the tenants of Mud-legged legs, it would be a joke!

He asked a carriage to take him to Yunnan Prefecture City, and Geng Hao walked to Mu Prefecture.

Come from the north of the city and go to the main entrance to the south of Mu Mansion, and you have to pass a slightly gloomy street. Old banyan trees are planted in the yards on both sides of the road, and the canopy is like an umbrella, covering the sky. When people walk through this street, it is like passing through a cave. The road is obviously a bit narrow.

Knocking on the corner door next to the Mu Mansion, Geng Hao reported the name and was led to an inverted room by the door. Then no one paid attention to him for a long time.

After waiting for an incense stick, the housekeeper Mu of the Mu Mansion came over.

Geng Hao stood up and said, "I heard that my cousin was ill and got another old ginseng, so he came to visit my cousin and informed him by the butler of Qingqingmu." After Geng Hao said that, he opened the wooden box.

The official family only took a look and said, "Young Master Geng, don't be so polite. The Marquis's illness cannot be treated by the old ginseng. We have appreciated the feelings of the young master and dare not accept them."

Geng Hao frowned: "Does Butler Mu thinks he is giving a gift to others?"

"Oh, how dare you!" The official waved his hand and said, "It's just because the marquis is sick and cannot visit him. The doctor said he is afraid of infecting others. If you can't let Mr. Geng see the marquis, you won't dare to accept this gift."

Geng Hao said: "I'm here for the third time this month, just want to see my cousin."

The official family said with a bitter face: "I really can't see you. Why don't Mr. Geng wait for ten days at home? When the marquis recovers from illness, the marquis's mansion will send someone to invite the marquis."

Geng Hao thought for a while and said, "Then I want to meet my aunt."

After hearing this, the official thought for a moment and nodded, "Young Master, wait a moment, the younger one will go and report to the old lady."

Geng Hao nodded.

Seeing the request of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, she finally got the permission. The old lady is Mu Sheng's biological mother, but she is also the younger sister of Geng Bingwen, the Changxing Hou, and she still has feelings for the Geng family.

When Geng Hao saw his aunt, he saw that although her hair was gray, her face was rosy and her complexion looked very good. He immediately stepped forward and kowtowed to say hello.

"Okay, okay! Hao'er get up quickly." The old lady helped Geng Hao up and asked cordially, "Is your parents' body good?"

Geng Hao hurriedly said, "For my aunt's blessing, my father can still work in the fields."

He said this to mean that he was not doing well, and he had to take the servants in the mansion to farm himself. Unexpectedly, the old lady said with relief: "That's good, okay. I asked your cousin to transfer the manor, the fields, and some oxen households, just want you to take root in Yunnan and live here well. Like your uncles...ah!"

Geng Hao said: "Aunt, I heard from my father that uncles are still officials in the capital?"

The old lady nodded slightly and showed a very reluctant smile.

Geng Hao's face suddenly turned red, and he finally said, "I have been engaged to my cousin since I was a child. Now I am here in Yunnan. I am close to you, so I don't know about this..."

The old lady immediately interrupted Geng Hao with a smile and scolded her. The hand, which had a few age spots on the back of her hand, hit Geng Hao's palm, "You kid! Of course, you have to discuss this with your parents and your cousin. How can you run away and say it yourself, don't make people laugh!"

The aunt seemed to have played Tai Chi, but Geng Hao couldn't say anything... Now the Geng family can't even see the face of Xiping Hou, how can we discuss? Moreover, Geng Hao's parents once said, don't mention that matter!

Isn’t Geng Hao running away to tell him?

So Geng Hao said directly: "My father said casually that he would not mention that matter, but I thought it was inappropriate. When I was a child, my cousin was in the capital and I was childhood sweetheart, but I really couldn't let go. Besides, I had a engagement, so how could our Geng family not recognize me?"

When the old lady heard the second half of the sentence, her face looked a little ugly and said earnestly: "Hao'er, your parents are here, how can you not listen to your parents? You just need to study hard in Yunnan and then talk about it when you grow up."

Geng Hao was dissatisfied. It was obvious that the Mu family wanted to regret the marriage when they saw that the Geng family was in decline, but now they were going to fall on the Geng family?

Geng Hao held back the unpleasantness in his heart, reached out and touched his nose, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and clasped his fists and said, "Abide by the order, I will definitely do something to glorify the Geng family's lintel!"

The old lady had many wrinkles on her face, but her eyes were very bright. Her eyes stayed on Geng Hao's face for a while, and she sighed slightly: "Hao'er, my aunt is old, I just want to see you juniors, all of them are safe and stable, free from illness, pain, no disaster, no difficulty."

After she said that, she stood up with a dragon-purple wooden stick, and the maids next to her hurriedly supported her. The old lady said, "Auntie has been talking for a long time now, so she has to close her eyes to calm her mind."

Geng Hao had no choice but to bow and say, "My aunt needs to take care of her health, so I won't disturb you."

The old lady turned around and said, "I asked Butler Mu to prepare lunch for you, and I'll leave after I've had a meal."
