The hall was slightly darkened, and the eunuch Wang Gui's body blocked some bright sunshine outside the door. Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and Wang Gui bent over and walked in and bowed: "Prince, Chen Dachui has returned to the palace and is asking for the prince outside."

"Call him in." Zhu Gaoxu said immediately.

"Sister obeys the order."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Did Chen Dachui come back alone?"

Wang Gui turned around and hugged the whisk with both hands, and replied with certainty: "Yes, he returned home alone and just arrived."

After a while, Chen Dachui entered through the front hall main entrance and walked towards this side.

He walked straight to the throne steps and knelt down on one knee, "I will pay homage to the prince. On the day the prince took the prisoner back to Beijing, I have something to do... that place. When I came back, everyone had left the old prince's mansion. I asked the servants and thought something was wrong, so I quickly left the mansion. But next time, I found out a few important things in the capital."

Chen Daxiu was covered in dust, just like the day Zhu Gaoxu had just returned to Yunnan. When Chen Daxiu was speaking, he turned to look at the back door of the front hall, and there were some palace maids and eunuchs standing outside.

However, the front hall is very large, with eleven rooms wide. Zhu Gaoxu sat in the middle. As long as the sound was slightly smaller, it would be difficult to hear outside the hall far away. He waved and said, "President Chen approached and spoke."

Chen Dachui walked up the steps and stood beside Zhu Gaoxu and whispered: "Wang Zhenliang, the son of the son-in-law, may have been targeted by the Jinyiwei inside and outside his mansion. I didn't dare to go to find him, and he never came to the jade shop.

I lived in the jade shop for a few days, bought some oil, salt, firewood and rice, and opened the door to do business. Within ten days, Gao Xianning from the Hanlin Academy and the young man with a fair appearance all came to the jade shop. These two people told me some things about the capital. The first thing was that Mu Bin, the only son of the Marquis of Xiping, was killed!"

Zhu Gaoxu was shocked when he heard this and stared at him.

Chen Dachui continued: "The thing is roughly the matter is that in the Mu family mansion in the capital, a housekeeper named Chen Wu took Mu Bin to escape in the early morning. But Mu Bin was shot and killed by an assassin with a crossbow|arrow|shot by Chen Wu by an accomplice. The Jinyiwei is still investigating the assassin, but he has not yet figured out what is going on.

The second thing is that Gao Xianning told me. King Min wrote a letter to sue the Marquis of Xiping, saying that the Marquis of Xiping and the Prince of Han had been colluding for a long time, and the complaint was actually very detailed." Chen Dachui roughly explained the content of King Min's complaint.

As soon as Chen Daxu finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly raised his head and said, "Hahaha..." and laughed. Chen Daxu couldn't help laughing with him, with a happy expression on his face.

The laughter alarmed the servants outside the hall, and everyone quietly visited the inside curiously. Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at it, his eyes stinged by the bright sunlight.

...A while ago, there was an autumn rain, and today's sunshine was indeed very bright. Zhu Gaoxu only felt the clear scenery now, so vivid. Perhaps there will be new dark clouds in the sky a while, but at least the current situation really makes people feel comfortable.

Thinking that Mu Sheng lost his son miserably, Zhu Gaoxu gradually suppressed his laughter. He suddenly felt a little strange again, because the content of the complaint of King Min, except for the excessive movement of the jade business, was difficult for King Min to know many details.

But no matter what, these subtitles will not affect Zhu Gaoxu's mood at this moment.

Zhu Gaoxu's laughter stopped completely, with a smile on his face, raised his finger and pointed at Chen Dachu, let out a long breath, and then lowered his hands. His hands slapped on the armrest, and the man stood up briskly and said, "Mr. Chen, go back and take a break."

Chen Dahui clasped his fists and said, "The last one will be ordered!"

Zhu Gaoxu quickly walked out of the front hall, took the eunuch Wang Gui and others to the east along the wide brick and stone square, and came to the corridor where the study was located; there was a small courtyard surrounded by some houses. Zhu Gaoxu left Wang Gui alone to serve, and the other slaves were dismissed.

Wang Gui got the instructed to call the four people in the Taoyuan in Wushan and three guard commanders here.

There were some peach and plum trees planted in the patio. When Zhu Gaoxu first moved into this Han Palace, the trees were still very small, but a few years later, they had lush branches and leaves and had grown completely.

Perhaps things in the world are like a tree. In which direction things should develop, just like the trunk, Zhu Gaoxu will have to make a choice by himself. However, the branches and leaves of all things will grow and flourish as time goes by. A person will be unable to control his time and energy, and a group of people will have to influence his growth.

After seven people arrived in the courtyard one after another, Zhu Gaoxu told them about the capital. Zhu Gaoxu not only had to find someone to discuss how to make a decision, but also wanted these people to know and participate in the decision-making. In this way, everyone understood which direction the trunk was going to grow and could manage the lush branches and leaves.

After hearing this, everyone was talking and speculating on what Mu Sheng thought after learning the news.

Zhu Gaoxu mentioned another topic: "At present, the Chief Li Mo, the Chief Lie Mo, the hundred households Chen Gang, and the Army Yu Meiqing have been found to be a traitor in the court. To be precise, they were advisers of the old palace of the King of Yan, but Yao Guangxiao's party was all the Eastern Palace Party|Yu, and now they must be Gao Chi's close minister."

Veda frowned, looking a little angry.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Chen Gang, Mei Qing has a low level and generally has no chance to participate in major events in the Han Palace. If the Chief Secretary Li Mo is here recently, everyone should know it. The Left Chief Secretary Qian Xun, I have been with him for many years, pay attention to him, and sent someone to investigate it secretly, so there should be no problem."

Everyone answered one after another.

At this time, the iron-faced man said, "Since the King of Han has found out Li Mo's identity, the court does not know. Why don't the King of Han try and use Li Mo to mislead the court?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the iron-faced man and thought to himself that the bigger the civil servant, the more bad water in his stomach. He nodded immediately and said, "Mr. Li makes sense, then Li Mo can be used by us once."

Everyone continued to discuss major issues.

First of all, we must raise an army to rebel, and there is no change in this. Several civil and military officials from Taoyuan, Wushan came out to rebel! Wang Bin supported the uprising without hesitation. He had long disliked the people in the Eastern Palace. Wei Da and Liu Ying did not object.

Then everyone discussed the timing of the rebellion and the matter of taking the lead in advancing the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Secretary.

Before, when Zhu Gaoxu had just arrived in Taoyuan, Wushan, Qi Tai proposed this strategy. Everyone said it very briefly at that time, but after repeated considerations, Zhu Gaoxu still thinks that it is the best way.

There are only three places to go out from Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi.

In the Guangxi side of Annan Kingdom, it is too far from the capital and progresses slightly slower, and the Han Palace's power will become a border-related problem; it is not conducive to fighting for the power of the court as soon as possible.

The roads in Guizhou are not easier to walk than those in Sichuan. There are the defenses of Guizhou guards run by Gu Cheng. Moreover, Guizhou has not yet established a province, has a small population, and has a barren territory and is rugged. Even if Zhu Gaoxu conquered Guizhou, it would be difficult to grow and grow. If he chose this road, he would be very sad before leaving Guizhou, and he would always lack a stable and prosperous supply area.

In contrast, Zhu Gaoxu and others think that Sichuan has no choice but to choose, the best choice!

The iron-faced man said: "Once the King of Han decides to raise an army, there will be only one goal, the capital! You must never stop until you succeed."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the familiar iron and eyes on his face and nodded...

Since Qin Shihuang unified the world and the Han Dynasty inherited the concept of Qin's unification, all dynasties have reached a consensus, that is, there is no day and no two kings in the country! There is no room for compromise in the final goal of separatist or hegemony, and only one king can be left.

Qi Tai reminded Zhu Gaoxu in this way, and obviously he also recognized this concept.

...How did the King of Yan raise an army in the "Jingnan Battle" that year? Zhu Gaoxu participated almost the whole process, and the role model was there.

However, before the "Jingnan Campaign", there were some steps that Zhu Gaoxu did not participate, mainly in the planning stage. When the King of Yan began to publicly accuse the imperial court of harming the royal family, he must have discussed with his confidant civil and military officials for many times.

This time, the vassal kings also raised their troops, which was somewhat similar to Zhu Di back then, and there were many differences. While summing up his father's experience, Zhu Gaoxu had to modify the steps.

Once Mu Sheng’s matter was resolved, Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was easier for him to raise an army than the King of Yan back then; how to fight the more difficult thing, Yunnan is really far and remote.

How to occupy Sichuan is the first major problem in this big thing.

Sheng Yong and Qu Neng left the place, and Zhu Gaoxu went to the study on the east side of the front hall, summoned the right chief Li Mo, and asked him about the affairs of the Chief Shifu of the Han Palace for more than a year. Li Mo thought that Zhu Gaoxu attached great importance to his responsibilities in the Chief Shifu, so he took the opportunity to persuade him, saying that Zhu Gaoxu should put brotherhood first.

Zhu Gaoxu sneered in his heart, but said that Li Mo was a talented person.

Then Zhu Gaoxu summoned the left chief Qian Xun, saying that the Eastern Palace killed the throne and usurped the throne, and the situation became increasingly critical. Zhang Fu from Annan Kingdom, his father and son were both grateful to the late emperor. Now Zhang Fu has an army of more than 100,000. Zhu Gaoxu asked Qian Xun if he would like to go south to see Zhang Fu and persuade Zhang Fu to join the ranks of the army to question the crime.

Qian Xundao said, "The lower official has a word, but he doesn't know whether he should speak or not."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Say."

Qian Xun said: "A civil minister must rely on his reputation to gain a foothold in the officialdom of Shilin, and most of them must be moral. The general only relies on military merits. Zhang Fu was named the Marquis of Xincheng and made great contributions in Annan Kingdom. I am afraid that he would not care about morality. According to the opinions of the officials, he would definitely not want to take great risks with the prince, let alone Zhang Fu's whole family is in the capital?

The prince calmed down, and the subordinates probably couldn't persuade Zhang Fu. If he could persuade him to leave some way out, and interact with the prince in private, and fight in Annan, it would be the best result."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu laughed instead of anger. He smiled and said, "I was granted the title of Yunnan back then, and the late emperor just found a chief minister for me, but he was also a person with some knowledge."

Qian Xun hurriedly said, "I dare not be a subordinate official."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Then are you willing to go to Annan Kingdom?"

Qian Xun said: "The officials dare not show their loyalty, but now that the situation is like this, the officials have no choice but to continue to assist the prince, hoping that the prince will stabilize the overall situation, and then the officials and others will have a glimmer of hope."
