Chapter 5 Junying Grass

("readerFs").className = "rfs_" + rSetDef()[3]

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu got up before dawn. The mansion was very quiet, covered with white mist, and the unextinguished lanterns were light and dark, making them look very cold.

He met Du Qianrui outside a wing room. She wrung a floral cloth package in her hand and hurriedly walked up to the front half to squat as a salute, "I didn't expect the prince to get up so early. I ask the prince for his safety."

"Where is Wang Gui?" Zhu Gaoxu looked back.

Du Qianrui said: "Eunuch Wang lives outside and asked me to clean up the room this morning, so I went to find him. I was going to go here."

So the two walked out of the corridor, walked out of a hall, and walked to the front of the overturned room. At this time, a whisper came from behind the stable. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but turn around, walked to the corner of the wall quietly, and stood there for a while.

As we got closer, we heard a voice whispering: "Do you know what King Xiang is doing? I'll burn my whole family to death!"

"Why?" said another voice.

"Some people say that it was the court's forced force to reduce the vassals. I don't think so. The vassal kings are very arrogant and are suddenly wronged by the officials. How can they bear it?"

"That's right. Judging from the domineering spirit of the Prince of Gaoyang here, he beat the imperial officials to death with one disagreement!"

"If you don't rely on King Yan, how many days can this Prince Gaoyang be arrogant? Hehe..."

Zhu Gaoxu walked out without feeling silence. When the two of them turned around, their faces suddenly turned as if dead, and they were stunned like a wooden chicken, with only their legs trembling violently.

One of them was the first to "splash" and kneel down on the ground: "Prince, please spare me!"

The other one hurriedly lay on the ground, kowtowing while begging for mercy.

Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: "Spread rumors and distract the king and his subjects, have you lived enough?"

"I dare not, I dare not..." The two of them had pale faces.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Get out!"

Du Qianrui, who was standing beside her, looked surprised... Probably in her opinion, how could this prince who beat people to death easily let those two slaves go?

They continued to move forward, and Zhu Gaoxu looked back at Du Qianrui, "This house belongs to the property of the Yanwang Mansion, but there are no people in the house. After our brothers came to the capital, the court "kindly" sent some people to take care of it. At this time, most of the houses were not ours."

He paused and said, "It is useless to care about them."

Du Qianrui hurriedly said, "The prince is generous and admirable."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said nothing.

At this time, he saw a few bunches of white flowers blooming under the banana tree in the corner of the wall. Looking closely, it turned out to be lily of the valley... It was a very common ornamental plant in later generations, but it was really rare now. In ancient times, it seemed to be called Junyingcao, a plant in the deep mountains of the north. Most of the people in the Yanwang Mansion were from northerners, and I don’t know who got it to plant it in this yard.

He suddenly had an inspiration and said in a profound tone: "Did Miss Du see the little flowers in that corner? Junyingcao, the flowers are small and difficult to be noticed. He also likes to be in dark places, but they are poisonous all over their body!"

Du Qianrui was indeed thoughtful when she heard it.

After a while, when they saw Wang Gui, Zhu Gaoxu gave a few instructions and watched them go out. They left at this time and could leave the city immediately as soon as the city gate opened.

Zhu Gaoxu speculated that if Huang Zicheng was unwilling to give up on that matter, the best way was to sue the emperor.

The only person who can punish the vassal kings in the capital is probably the emperor. A prince will not commit the same crime as the common people. One of the ways to punish the prince is to attack the people around him.

...Two hours later, Zhu Gaoxu confirmed his guess. The fourth uncle Xu Zengshou came to the door and scolded Zhu Gaoxu for nearly lunch. Xu Zengshou revealed the news at the dinner table.

Xu Zengshou was an elder of Zhu Gaoxu and others, but he was only in his twenties. He wore colorful balls of flowers and brocade robes, which not only looked young, but also frivolous.

After leaving the dining table, Xu Zengshou sat down on a chair of the Grand Master.

Three maids bowed and walked up to him, one holding a wooden plate, one holding a bowl of white water, and the other holding tea. Xu Zengshou skillfully picked up the white porcelain bowl, took a sip of white water, raised his head and "gugu" to make a very exaggerated sound from his throat, and then spit it into the copper basin; then took the teacup, uncovered the lid and stroked the water surface.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at the opposite side and looked at the prince and others.

The prince waved his hand and drove the maids out of the hall.

After Xu Zengshou finished the trivial matters, his tone also eased. He stopped cursing and said, "Gao Xu, I heard about this, probably because of a girl from Fuleyuan? I heard the whole story, and you were unreasonable. In order to prepare for the banquet, Ambassador Xu went to Fuleyuan to select musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical musical music

At this time, the prince and Gao Sui also looked at Zhu Gaoxu sideways.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and found the focus of the contradiction, not to fight for a singing girl, but of course the place to talk about was not in Fuleyuan. So he roughly said how Ambassador Xu colluded with local officials and how he caused Du to become a singing girl.

Xu Zengshou's behavior was relatively vulgar when he was having a meal. However, Xu Zengshou quickly showed his advantages and was willing to listen to others patiently.

After hearing this, Xu Zengshou pondered endlessly, or was thinking about the right and wrong of this matter.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I have been to Fuleyuan two or three times, and I have done nothing else, I just asked Miss Du to sing songs. She also speaks nicely, ups and downs, and gentle, but who knows that she is a person who has suffered from grievances?"

Xu Zengshou glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said earnestly: "No matter how many twists and turns there are, he is just a singing girl. Gao Xu doesn't have to do this." He paused and said, "The official you mentioned just now is to bully men and do evil things. Then, don't mention it if you write a letter or tell the emperor. Do you understand?"

Zhu Gaoxu was very grateful and immediately replied: "I wish to listen to the teachings of my fourth uncle."

Xu Zengshou nodded and said, "Those who say are useless. The emperor only recognizes that you have killed someone. How can you listen to so many twists and turns in the city and rural areas? Just admit your mistakes..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slave ran to the door and bent down and said, "Report to the prince, Duke of Wei is here! I dare not stop you, you are already welcomed!"

Duke of Wei was the eldest son of his uncle Xu Huizu and Xu Da, and he inherited the title of Duke of Wei.

Hearing this, the expression on the fourth uncle Xu Zengshou's face instantly became very rich. The prince immediately stood up and said, "Help me quickly and welcome my uncle."

Xu Zengshou stood up, looked at the back door in the room quietly, and said, "I'll leave first."

The prince and others were stunned, and heard Xu Zengshou say again, "I don't need to send it, I'll spare the red tape. You go and pick up people... I don't have to mention what I've been here." After that, he left.

Zhu Gaoxu and Gao Sui had to support their elder brother together and chose to welcome their uncle Xu Huizu.

The prince muttered, "In front of us, my uncle didn't set an example, and he didn't even see his own elder brother."

Gao Sui whispered: "It's not that the elder brother doesn't know that the two uncles are not born to the same mother... Our three brothers are the same mother."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt thoughtful and the prince glared at Gao Sui fiercely.

After a while, they met Xu Zuhui. No wonder the servants dared not stop him... Xu Zuhui's face was full of anger and had a red face, which was very terrifying! Moreover, his figure was very burly and wide, and the serious vertical lines between his eyebrows seemed to be the embodiment of truth and morality! It was because people were respectful and fearful that they could not contradict them.

"You unfilial son!" Xu Zuhui was even more angry when he saw Zhu Gaoxu. He waved his hand and lifted up the sleeves of the gray cloth robe, and was about to rush over to take action!

At this moment, the prince choked and said, "My second brother was young and didn't know anything. It's all because of his brother's failure to take care of him. The first offender..." He reached out and grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's clothes and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you admit your mistake to your uncle!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything.

Xu Zuhui turned around and pointed to the old man who looked like a literati beside him and said, "Take off the leather belt!"

Zhu Gaoxu was shocked when he saw this and thought to himself whether he wanted to use a belt to suck me?!

The prince pleaded with mercy and said, "Uncle can't do it. I think my second brother is ignorant, please forgive him. If you want to fight, please hit me first. Even if I have a skin and flesh, I am willing to do it!"

The old man who had the belt lifted the Belt and helped Xu Huizu and persuaded: "Please calm down, don't be angry."

Xu Huizu turned around, pointed at Zhu Gaoxu, and said, "I think you are lawless, ah?"

Zhu Gaoxu said with a tough forehead: "I know I have a mistake, so it's also necessary for my uncle to beat or scold me."

After hearing this, Xu Huizu sighed again, covered his chest, and cursed with sad expression: "If it weren't for your mother's sake, I wouldn't bother to care about you!"

The meaning of this is very clear. Beating and scolding you is also for your own good! Can Zhu Gaoxu have any reason to resist?

"Why don't the prince welcome the Duke of Wei into the house quickly and drink water to make you happy?" the old man said anxiously.

The prince greeted the two brothers and helped Xu Huizu into the room together.

When he got into the house, Xu Huizu continued to stand at the height of morality and scolded Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu did not care about right or wrong, and did not contradict him, just listened with his teeth.

After hearing so many bloody curses, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly discovered Wang Gui. Wang Gui was walking back and forth outside the door, stretching his neck from time to time to look in.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a thud: Shouldn’t Wang Gui and Du Qianrui have left the city long ago?

Originally, Xu Huizu's moral arguments were extremely boring, but now Zhu Gaoxu couldn't even listen to a word. He only thought about why Wang Gui was still in Nanjing.

After a while, a maid came in to add tea. Zhu Gaoxu walked over, took the teapot, poured tea for Xu Huizu with his own hands, and took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, please calm down. I'll go to change my clothes for the time being, and I'll come after I'm going to take it."

Xu Huizu looked slightly at this time and also found the person walking fast outside. It seemed that the excuse had been seen through by Xu Huizu.
