In the early morning, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly woke up, and after a while he came to his senses, he realized that he was in Guo Wei's bedroom and felt very stuffy.

He got up in his clothes and found half a pot of cold boiling water on the red mud stove. He picked up a blue and white tea cup and poured two cold water into it. Guo Wei also woke up. She looked at Zhu Gaoxu sleepily and asked, "Is it time to get up?"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the curtains on the windows and said, "It's not dawn yet, you can sleep for a while."

After he said that, he was still sitting by the cold red mud stove, slightly ecstatic.

After a while, Guo Wei pinched the quilt and covered her body, sat up on the big bed. Then she looked for a lining and dressed in the quilt. There were no close servants in the bedroom, only two people. Guo Wei and Zhu Gaoxu have been together for many years and are very familiar with each other. However, she has always been reserved and will hardly reveal her body in front of Zhu Gaoxu on his own initiative.

The early morning of early spring was so cold that Guo Wei put on her clothes and found another fur coat to cover Zhu Gaoxu.

"You can continue to sleep." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

Guo Wei looked at him: "Did Gao Xu have a nightmare?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I probably dreamed of the scene I had on the battle formation before."

Guo Wei hurriedly stroked his back gently and advised softly: "It's all over, you don't have to think about it anymore."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "The things in the dream didn't make me uncomfortable. When I woke up, I felt a little uneasy, but the current situation." He then said, "I have been in the palace for too long."

After saying that, he glanced at Guo Wei and saw that she just listened gently. He immediately understood that his words must have made others confused.

Zhu Gaoxu took a moment of thought and focused on specific matters so that he could make his words clearer. "I always feel that the recent situation in the north is a little uneasy. In addition, I am worried about the war in the South China Sea."

Guo Wei said: "I heard yesterday afternoon that Chen Xuan won a great victory in Zhenla Kingdom, and the news of good news came. Why is the emperor worried?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought a little bit that Guo Wei was a gentle man, but he was also a reliable person. He said, "No worries. The country of the sect should have the will to surrender, but Chen Xuan drove away the envoys and insisted on fighting again. I am not very satisfied with this matter. I guess that the small BN battles in the south are definitely not the opponents of the official army; but the situation on the battlefield is complicated and there are too many changes. The climate, epidemics, etc. all depend on luck. If you can fight, you can achieve your goal. It is best not to fight; after all, you can't directly govern it after the battle."

Guo Wei's head slightly tilted, and she thought for a while and said, "Chen Xuan wants to be greedy for military merit?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said yes.

Guo Wei asked again: "I heard that in the navy, Wang Jinghong's words in the Navy's Supervisor's Young Supervisor Wang Jinghong are the most effective. Perhaps Wang Jinghong will stop Chen Xuan."

"That's why Chen Xuan drove away the Mantaga envoy (the Sultan Kingdom of Malacca) without authorization." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Guo Wei was slightly stunned.

Zhu Gaoxu explained: "Chen Xuan cannot make decisions in one sentence, so he finds ways to do various things so that the navy's decisions tend to quickly attack the south and destroy Manshujia."

He paused for a moment and continued: "Most people usually passively wait for the results before the matter is finished. However, I found that Chen Xuan did not have such a personality... This person may have a little control. He will take the initiative to choose one result in advance and sacrifice another possibility to affect the direction of things with his own hands."

After hearing this, Guo Wei whispered: "I don't understand Chen Xuan, but Gao Xu's thoughts on people are really deep."

Chen Xuan and Wang Jinghong have the main force of the Ming Dynasty's naval force. There are currently more than 100 warships and 20,000 elite soldiers. Can Zhu Gaoxu not try to understand them?

When everyone criticizes a person, it is very likely that that person has problems, and he is not a perfect person anyway. However, what the ministers dislike Chen Xuan is integrity, and Zhu Gaoxu saw something different from another perspective.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the previous contemplation and pondered: "The bloody storms in the past were much more dangerous; but I rarely had any uneasiness because I was present. Now in this imperial city, everything depends on association and guessing, but I feel a little bored. I may have been in the palace for too long."

The couple talked for a while in the quiet early morning, and Guo Wei suddenly said, "By the way, I remember the Tatars mentioned by the Grand Princess (Baoqing) yesterday. If the emperor wants to know the inside story, it would be better to ask the prince-consor He Kuisi. In two days, the palace was given a banquet and invited the royal relatives in Beijing. He Kuisi was the prince-consort and would definitely come."

It is said that He Kuisi is not doing his job properly, wandering around all day and likes to play and sing. But after all, he is Ning Yuanhou's son, so he should always be able to explain something clearly when he asked him to tell him something.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately turned his head and responded: "What Weier said is very true."

Speaking of now, Zhu Gaoxu's sleepiness has completely disappeared...

A few days later, the royal family invited the royal family, relatives and son-in-law He Kuisi to come. The place where the female family feasted was in the Dashan Hall, hosted by the empress and concubines. The males were in Xingqing Palace, and Zhu Gaoxu was present to give the banquet.

On the south side of the main hall of Xingqing Palace, there is a red wall staircase. On both sides of the staircase, there is a courtyard. After the formal rituals and music of the luncheon, the royal relatives can eat, drink, enjoy dance, and then leave the seat and are allowed to sober up and rest in the two courtyards.

Zhu Gaoxu found a corridor in the courtyard to the west and asked the eunuch to call He Kuisi.

Regarding relatives, Zhu Gaoxu was called He Kui's fourth uncle. However, people who are not from the clan clan are mainly monarchs and ministers when facing the emperor, and relatives are second. He Kui Si came in and bowed and performed great rituals from the monarch and ministers.

Zhu Gaoxu had never seen He Kui Si up close before. Today, he looked really pretty and handsome. He Fu thought that he was also a rough man in the battle south and north, but his son was completely like a playboy. But it was no wonder that Princess Baoqing liked He Kui Si very much, and he didn't even dislike him if he didn't do his job. Princess Baoqing was only in her teens, so it was normal for her to like handsome men the most.

Zhu Gaoxu first asked He Kuisi about family affairs, and then he got to the point and asked where the Tatars who gave gifts to He Fu came from.

He Kuisi hurriedly said, "I returned to the emperor's words. This matter is a long story. At the beginning of Wude, the emperor personally conquered the Tatars (Eastern Mongolia), and the Tatars army was defeated and fled one after another. The Mongolian Khan Benyali Shikhan fled westward. When he met the Wasser people (Si Mongolia), he asked for help from the leader of the Wasser tribes, Zhuolus Mahamum.

Benyali Shikhan thought that Mahamu would obey his orders. Because Benyali Shikhan was a great khan in all Mongolians, including the Wassar. Because Benyali Shikhan could be elected as a great khan, it was because the Tatars' Arutai assassination and killed his ex-Khan Guilichi; and Guilichi has always been incompatible with the Wassar. So Benyali Shikhan thought that the Wassar had a good impression of him.

Unexpectedly, the Watshi people first pretended to be respectful and brought Benyali's Khan's tribe to the west. After staying away from the Tatar tribes, Mahamu suddenly turned against him and killed Benyali's Khan. Most of the remaining Benyali's Khan were slaughtered, and only a few of them fled to Hami Guards (Hami Kingdom).

Boerjijin Tutuo, the king of Zhongshun of Hamiwei, was a descendant of Genghis Khan with Benyalis. His former king of Zhongshun, Anke Timur, was poisoned by Wataren and occupied his wife. King Zhongshun had a deep hatred with Wataren, so he took in Benyari's family and tribes who survived Benyari's Khan."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded frequently when he heard this. The Mongolian tribes had long been divided, and the relationship was very complicated, and even some ministers could not explain it clearly.

However, this innocent young man He Kuisi was talking freely and even the complicated name could be clearly stated. This made Zhu Gaoxu look at him with a little attention. Zhu Gaoxu verified again that sometimes the rumored person may be different from what he saw after knowing about it personally.

He Kui Si said: "My father did not mention this in his letter. I heard what the slave who came back said. The Tatars sent people to make friends with his father. I don't know what exactly happened. I may guess that the Tatars wanted to borrow from the Ming Dynasty to avoid the Wasai tribe and return to the east?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "I also have a bold guess. The Watshu people attacked Hami very quickly, or among the Tatars who escaped, there was a person who was very important to the Watshu people."

He Kuisi echoed and said, "What the emperor said is very true. The Watsai people made enemies with Hami and the East Chaga Khanate at the same time; and the Hami Guards were in conflict with the East Chaga Khanate. In the past, in order to restrain the East Chaga Khanate, the Watsai people rarely attacked the Hami Kingdom in order to restrain the East Chaga Khanate, and this time it was a bit abnormal."

He thought for a while and bowed, "Will Benyalis Khan have a son fall into the hands of King Zhongshun? After Navasti leader Mahamu killed Benyalisha, he supported a full-Mongol Khan named Dabali. But except for Mahamu's confidants, almost no one recognized this Dabali; if Benyalis Khan had descendants escaped, Mahamu would probably not be able to master the full-Mongol Khan."

Zhu Gaoxu had to think that He Kuisi made some sense. He suddenly felt that He Kuisi seemed to be a talent, and not serving the Ming Dynasty was a waste.

"Do you want to be a little powerful official?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

He Kuisi hurriedly said, "I have little experience and no experience, but I can only talk big. I am afraid that I will ruin my father's reputation, and I am even more afraid that I will delay the great affairs of the emperor."

Zhu Gaoxu heard that he was reluctant, so he did not force himself for the time being and said, "You should treat the eldest princess well. Has she been the pearl in the palm of my father and mother?"

He Kui Si said: "I dare not say that the eldest princess is glorious and famous all over the world, but she can make her smile every day, plain and simple, and she can do it by asking herself."

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu praised, "her identity does not need to be glorious anymore."

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he stood up and walked past He Kuisi, "I will remember what the prince consort said today."
