Lei Tian Geng Hao and others escorted the wife and prince of King Jingjiang to leave from the north gate of the capital. They planned to go north to the Huguang Administration and Commissioner General Zhang Fu, who had met the Pinghan General, and reported the situation in Guangxi before going to the capital.

The Beijing officials ran away, and the attitudes of officials from the Sansi Yamen in Guangxi began to change. Those who are interested can feel such changes from the details of the title. In the past, everyone called "rebel kings" and "rebel army", but now when it comes to the overwhelming army, they generally refer to the Han kings, the Han kings army, and even those 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 that Guilin is the best in the world and is indeed well-known. Even near the largest city of Guangxi Provincial Administration and the General Office, you can see green mountains and green waters everywhere.

The sky is clean on a clear autumn day, with white clouds floating. The ancient city towers, pavilions and pagodas blend into 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 amid the heavy and unpleasant "crunch" wood rubbing. The army crowd outside the city heard a series of cheers one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse's back and looked at the city gate. 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 thinks that the goal in front of me is perfect! There may be endless things in life. When you have finished one of the 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. After the cavalry in front passed, Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse to the side of the road, turned over and dismounted. He said to the officials who were bowing and standing on the side of the road: "I am 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 quickly looked and walked forward and dragged an official's forearm and said, "Let's wait!"

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

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is my grandfather, but I am not the emperor and cannot exceed the rules. I am not a conqueror, this world is the world of the Ming Dynasty."

He paused a little and said in a friendly tone, "You colleagues don't have to give in. You are also officials of the Ming Dynasty. You just re-examine the truth and decisively abandon the darkness and turn to the light. It is really gratifying! Also, because you love the people as your sons and put the people first, you 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 Royal Highness of the Han Dynasty is wise and powerful, and he understands the feelings. The country is fortunate and the people are blessed!"

In an instant, everyone agreed, "The King of Han was a man of virtue and martial arts, and his benevolence and righteousness. I regretted that I could not surrender as soon as possible..." "The King of Han was looking forward to a righteous army every day. Today, the King of Han finally came to our residence. My colleagues dared not open the city to welcome him..."

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

"Oh, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Zhu Gaoxu replied with his fists, "In a moment, the officials of the Chief Secretary of the Han Palace will be listed on the list of people's peace. My colleagues asked the yamen runners to help post and inform the officials and civilians that our criminal army was strict and that soldiers were strictly prohibited from harassing civilians; everyone would do 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 of the King of Han, who is wise and victorious in every battle, was benevolent and righteous, asked, "The King of Jingjiang is in a state of ill health and could not do anything, and ordered his subordinates to apologize to His Highness of the King of Han."

"I understand." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, "Let's go into the city together!"

So the army entered the city, and the streets soon began to beat gongs and drums and music. After the whip, people on the city tower read articles praising merits.

Officials from the Third Division had already prepared a beautiful garden mansion for the Han King near Fuqian Street. Zhu Gaoxu was not picky and immediately determined to be the Han King's Mansion camp. After his personal soldiers finished inspecting, 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 of Guilin Mansion were in a hurry when preparing the house. Zhu Gaoxu was not polite and asked someone to smash the warehouse to get a ginseng, so he sent Hou Hai as an envoy to take the ginseng gift to the Prince of Jingjiang Mansion for treatment.

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

Hou Hai reported: "Prince, the King of 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 decayed. His expression and behavior were not like pretending to be sick. The lower official asked the doctors in the palace again, and they all said that King of Jingjiang had been sick a few months ago. People in the palace could prove it, and they would not recover from the long-term illness."

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 asked the official to come back and bring him a message. He wanted to invite you to the palace to talk to him."

Zhu Gaoxu became more and more satisfied as he listened. He spent a long time on the battlefield, but in recent days, he felt that everything was going smoothly for the time being.

"But..." Hou Hai took two steps forward and bowed, "I heard that King Jingjiang has two sons, so I asked a traitor from Beisi in Guilin Mansion. It turned out that King Jingjiang sent his eldest son away in advance, and only the second son was still in the palace."

Zhu Gaoxu had a sudden expression and made a sound of "Hmm...". He stood up from the chair, paced in the room for a while, and walked to the door, but didn't say anything for a long time because he was thinking about something.

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

"I'll go and visit King Jingjiang now." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned around and said.

Hou Hai reminded carefully: "Then nothing will happen to the Jingjiang Palace?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The King of Jingjiang just doesn't want to bet the wrong treasure, nothing will happen. I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city. Who dares to act rashly? Call Wang Bin and lead a team of guards to accompany me."

"Sir, 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' ceremonies have long been deserted. But it's good that he was ready in a short while. The so-called preparation is nothing more than changing 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 size 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 brought some officials and palace servants to greet him. 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 and stood outside the door on the base of the main hall, 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. I will always feel regretful if I don't meet."

King Zanyi of Jingjiang said with difficulty: "Uncle, I am so polite and careless."

"You have to be polite, they are all their own family." Zhu Gaoxu said with a calm face. The man in front of him looked older than Zhu Gaoxu, and his actual age seemed to be a little older, but he was still a junior in terms of seniority.

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

"Ah?" King Jingjiang obviously forgot.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "At the end of Hongwu, my nephew traveled all over the place under the order of Emperor Taizu and visited relatives of various vassal states. He had visited Peking. However, at that time, my father came to receive you, and you were afraid that you would not remember me."

King Jingjiang suddenly said, "Yes, right!"

It was originally a relative, but after only meeting him once, King Jingjiang was very excited. The distance between the two seemed to have been much closer.

"It's windy outside, and my dear nephew wants 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 to sit on an equal footing. He leaned weakly on a chair at the lower head.

King Jingjiang was breathless and gasped for a while, then took a break 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, a eunuch bent over and walked in. The eunuch said something in the ear of King Jingjiang. After hearing this, King Jingjiang said, "Let Madam Li bring Zuo Min in and pay homage to his uncle."

"Yes." The eunuch retreated.
Chapter completed!
