Wang Gui came to the main hall and whispered beside Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu said, "You go back to the palace and ask Chen Dahui to come."

"Sister to obey the order." Wang Gui replied.

Ping'an, who was sitting next to him, sighed: "Mu Sheng is a Marquis of Xiping, but I am like a broken dog, and I am really ashamed of my father."

Ping An seemed to be very troublesome. Zhu Gaoxu didn't have a smile on his face and his mood was a little heavy. However, he did not look sad, his expression was extremely calm, and his tone was also very stable: "I think there are many capable people in the world at any time, and glorious people may not be the most talented, just look at whether anyone appreciates him."

"Bo Le?" Ping'an blurted out.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "I can also appreciate Brother Ping'an's character."

Peace is unconfident, as if he is wondering where his noble character is.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "As Brother Ping'an said, you are here to find me now and it falls into my hands; if I ignore my mercy, I will just send you back to Beijing to seek credit, and there is no need for too much trouble. So some of the things I want to do now are just for the aftermath, and it will not harm Brother Ping'an. Can Ping'an believe me and follow my arrangements?"

Ping An nodded his head vigorously.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Very good."

The two of them talked about something that happened in the capital. After a long time, Wang Gui and Chen Dachui drove in the carriage. The two walked into the main hall to pay homage to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "After Mr. Chen came to Yunnan, how many people were there in his family?"

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said, "When I replied, the family members of the prince, I had three of them. I brought a boy and a brother of the same clan to serve as a military servant, and I also came to Yunnan. However, my wife was not idle and worked in a restaurant in Peking. Now I was promoted to the position of the emperor and received some rewards. I opened a larger restaurant, hired more than ten people including maids, waiters, cooks, and servitude workers. I also made do with them in the yard behind the restaurant."

His waist was bent even lower, "I know it's not in line with the rules, but I didn't persuade him to keep the low profile..."

"As long as I didn't say you were illegal, no one felt that it was incompetent." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Is there a place in the restaurant that can keep General Ping for a while?"

Chen Dachui thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "Mo will live in the yard behind, there is a villa in it. After making a warehouse, Mo will be able to clean it up."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Let's go now, I will say hello to your wife myself. In the future, except Mr. Chen himself, no one else can approach the other courtyard."

Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"

"By the way," Zhu Gaoxu said, "President Chen doesn't have to go to the capital now, so he doesn't have to come to pay every day for the time being."

When Ping'an heard this, he looked over slightly. Zhu Gaoxu also turned to look at Ping'an and said, "This place is not stable enough in front of Mu's Mansion; the Han Palace is even more crowded and eyes-filled. I can only feel sorry for Brother Ping'an, who has lived in Chen's general house for a while. After I make arrangements, I will take Brother Ping'an to change the place."

Ping An said, "At this time, I only have a place to stay, and I am not sure of being picky. But I will follow the arrangements of the King of Han."

...Zhu Gaoxu settled Ping An for a while, and returned to the study room of Chengyun Hall of the Han Palace, and continued to read the official documents and memorials that he had not finished reading in the morning.

After the palace maids came in, they stood at the door, waiting silently for Zhu Gaoxu to give orders at any time.

Zhu Gaoxu sat behind the desk beside the back window, looking through the things placed on the table. He could not control Yunnan military and political affairs, nor did he take care of the affairs of the Han Palace. Only the report from the defensive center was the focus of his attention.

There are two reports from the stronghold in the north of the city.

The tenant from Gengjiazhuang who had been bribed secretly told me that someone from the city had found Genghao in Gengjiazhuang, and the two went to the back mountain.

Yesterday, Geng Hao entered the city, and the traitors from the stronghold in the north of the city sent people to follow him from afar. Because Geng Hao was unsuspecting, the traitors saw him going to Bao'en Temple Street... The traitors in the north of the city had an order that they could not act rashly near Hu Yi's residence, so they did not follow in.

Zhu Gaoxu read the report again, threw the file on the table, sat on the chair, raised his head and breathed out. After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud.

He stroked his broad forehead, thought for a while, and then stood up and left the study.

Duan Yang was still imprisoned in the corridor on the east side of Duanli Gate. No one could rescue her. The Han Palace not only had high walls and guards, but also had nearly 20,000 troops stationed on all sides. No one on the territory of Yunnan Palace could attack the Han Palace... unless Mu Sheng mobilized the army to launch a war.

The guard opened the door, and Zhu Gaoxu still stopped them from coming in and walked into the room alone. Duan Yang was not tied up today, and her mood seemed to be very calm and normal. When she saw Zhu Gaoxu, she even bowed, "I have seen His Highness the King of Han."

"Forgive." Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture and immediately said, "Last time, Mrs. Duan said a deal, but I didn't agree. Today I will also propose a deal, just to see if we can reach an agreement."

Duan Yang said: "Please tell me clearly."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "According to Mrs. Duan's wish, the return is to let her go. But I don't need you to provide information about Emperor Jianwen, that's not something I'm not interested in; I have two other conditions, as long as Mrs. Duan agrees, we will be considered an agreement."

Duan Yang raised his head, "I would like to hear the details."

So Zhu Gaoxu said two things that she asked her to do. Duan Yang did not hesitate and quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at her face and said seriously: "If Mrs. Duan does not do those things as agreed, I will tell the Queen of Xiping. If we want to deal with each other again in the future, it will be difficult to have trust. I just hope Mrs. Duan will weigh the pros and cons."

...

The restaurant opened by Chen Dachui's house did not write Chen's flags, but Qin's military households could not do business and other business, so Chen Dachui wanted to hide it; however, he was not punished because of the King of Han.

The villa where you live safe is very small, with only a few rooms, most of which are full of miscellaneous items; one of them has a cellar with a lot of wine.

Ping An just moved in and felt very satisfied. After all, he walked thousands of miles with two horses, and did not dare to stay in the inn or enter the inn. He slept in the open for nearly a month, and now he could stay in peace and have someone to protect him. He felt much better.

When he first met Zhu Gaoxu, Ping An was ashamed. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned; and Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to like to use morality and his character to blame others, so he did not embarrass Ping An too much.

Without anyone to blame, Ping An did not expect that he was greedy for life and fear of death... but he was really unwilling to accept it, so he just died in the gutter with some inexplicable charges!

Ping An thought to himself that if he knew the death, he would have to seek death with one thing: that is, he really couldn't live. Otherwise, no matter whether it was the humiliation of hatred for taking his wife or the failure to lose his reputation, he would not have been asked to seek death!

In his current situation, he obviously did not completely desperate. His father was Taizu's adopted son and had connections. For example, the King of Han was willing to give him a way out.

What exactly does the King of Han want to do? Ping An is unwilling to think about it now.

After staying in Qin's yard for a few days, Zhu Gaoxu came again. Before dawn, the yard was dim.

"Meet the King of Han." Ping'an hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and held a military salute.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a casual tone: "Today, Brother Ping'an will go out with us to do something, and come back to have breakfast."

After hearing this, Ping'an didn't ask much, and immediately replied: "I'll come in my clothes."

"Brother Ping'an." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly called out again, "Meet Lingbi, I said we will no longer be enemies in the future. I will say one more thing today. I will not harm Brother Ping'an, you must remember."

Ping An clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, King Han!"

After wearing clothes, Ping An put on a big hat, and walked out of the door of the other courtyard with Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Dachui. A carriage was blocked at the door. Zhu Gaoxu lifted the curtain with his own hands and asked Ping An to get on the carriage.

The people who drove the car were eunuchs Wang Gui, Zhu Gaoxu, Ping'an, and another tall young man. Chen Dachui led a horse next to him. A group of five people left the Chen family's yard quietly.

Ping An looked at the man sitting next to him and was dressed in a weird way. The man was wearing a blue round-collar silk robe, a square scarf on his head, and a sword hanging around his waist, looking like a nobleman. But Ping An couldn't guess which nobleman could participate in the secret affairs of the King of Han.

Zhu Gaoxu and Ping'an silently met, and said nothing for a moment.

After a while, Ping An opened the corner of the curtain and watched the scene outside. The carriages seemed to be heading north, there were no pedestrians on the street, and many shops and doors of houses were not open.

Chen Dachui rode a horse and carried lanterns to illuminate the road, but lanterns were hanging everywhere in the city, and the road was not dark. Not long after, the sky was already dark, and the wooden inlaid shops opened the earliest, and the streets gradually became more popular.

When Ping An returned to Yunnan Prefecture for the first time, he was not familiar with the city. He didn't know where he walked, and the carriage and horses stopped on the street. Chen Dachui, who was riding a horse, turned over and dismounted and stood next to the horse.

After waiting for a long time, a man walked over quickly. The man came to Chen Dachui, bowed his head and whispered something, and then left.

Chen Dachui then walked to the side of the carriage, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, the person is here."

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Ping'an and said in a deep voice: "Now Brother Ping'an got off the carriage, took Chen Dachui's horse and walked north to the first intersection; then walked to the right and walked a street. There was a rice shop at the intersection. Brother Ping'an was waiting in the shop at this time. Our carriage took a detour and arrived at the door of the rice shop. Brother Ping'an got in the carriage. OK?"

Ping'an was stunned for a moment. After he came to Yunnan Prefecture, Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that he would be seen, so he would actually walk three streets on the street today?

Zhu Gaoxu had a bright look and looked at Ping'an with a sincere look on his face. Ping'an had to hold his fists and said, "According to the words of the King of Han, I will get off the carriage now!"
