/p> Wang Gui came to the hall and whispered a word next to Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaoxu said: "You go back to the palace and call Chen Dazhui to come." ”

"The slave obeys." Wang Gui replied.

At this time, Ping'an, who was sitting next to him, sighed: "Mu Sheng is doing Xiping Hou beautifully, but I am like a lost dog, and I am really ashamed of my father." ”

The matter of peace seemed to be very troublesome, Zhu Gaoxu did not have a smile on his face, and his mood was faintly heavy. He didn't have a sad face, his expression was unusually calm, almost expressionless, and his tone was also very stable: "I think that at any time, there are many capable people in the world, and the people in the scenery are not necessarily the most talented, just see if anyone appreciates him." ”

"Bole?" Ping An blurted out.

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

Ping An was noncommittal, as if to contemplate the nobility of his conduct.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "As Brother Ping'an said, you are coming to me now and falling into my hands; If I don't care about the situation, I can escort you back to Beijing to invite merit, and I don't need to trouble too much. So some of the things I have to do now are just for the aftermath, and they must not be to harm Brother Ping'an. Can peace trust me and obey my arrangement? ”

Ping An nodded vigorously.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Very good. ”

The two of them talked about some things that happened in Jingshi, and after a long time, Wang Gui and Chen Dazhui came in with a carriage. The two walked into the hall to meet Zhu Gaoxu.

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

Chen Dazhui hugged his fists and said: "Back to the prince's words, there are a total of three members of the general's family, and there is a boy with a brother of the same clan as an amateur, and he also came to Yunnan." However, the daughter-in-law couldn't be idle, and she worked as a restaurant in Beiping. Now that the general has been promoted to an official for meritorious service and received some rewards, he opened a bigger restaurant in the lower place, and invited more than ten people, such as maids, juniors, cooks, and miscellaneous servants, and the last general also made do with living in the courtyard behind the restaurant. ”

His waist bent lower, "The last general also knew that he was not in order, but he didn't persuade the ...... of the lowly inside"

"As long as I don't say you're breaking the law, no one thinks it's out of line." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Is there a place in the restaurant that can let General Ping stay for a while?" ”

Chen Dazhui thought for a moment and said busily: "The last general lives in the courtyard at the back, and there is a separate courtyard and a warehouse, and the last general can be cleaned up." ”

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

Chen Dazhui clenched his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

"That's right." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Mr. Chen doesn't have to go to Beijing now, and he doesn't have to come to work every day for a while." ”

When Ping An heard this, he looked over slightly, and Zhu Gaoxu also turned his head to look at Ping An and said, "This place is in front of Mu Mansion, and it is not stable enough; The Han Wangfu is even more crowded. I can only grieve Brother Ping'an and live in Mr. Chen's house for a while. When I arrange it, I will pick up Brother Ping An to change places. ”

Ping'an bowed: "At this time, as long as the general has a place to stay, he can't ask for it, and he doesn't dare to pick and choose." But listen to the arrangement of the King of Han. ”

…… Zhu Gaoxu settled down for the time being, and then returned to the study room of the Han Palace's Carrier Palace, and continued to read the official documents and newspapers that he had not had time to read in the morning.

After the palace maids came in with tea, they stood at the door, silently waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's orders at any time.

Zhu Gaoxu sat behind the bookcase by the back window, looking at the things placed on the table. He can't control the military and politics of Yunnan, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the Han Palace, only the report of the palace is the focus of his attention.

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

The tenants of Gengjiazhuang, who had been bought, told the secret that someone from the city had gone to Gengjiazhuang to find Geng Hao, 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 unguarded, he was seen by the spy and went to Bao'en Temple Street...... And the traitors and spies in the north of the city had an order not to act rashly near Hu Hui's residence, so they did not follow up.

Zhu Gaoxu read the report again, threw the file on the table, sat on the chair and exhaled with his head up. After a while, he suddenly laughed to himself.

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

Duan Yang is still being held in a gallery on the east side of the Duanli Gate. No one can rescue her, the Han Wangfu not only has high walls and guards, but also has nearly 20,000 garrisons on all sides, and no one in the territory of Yunnan Mansion can attack the Han Wangfu...... Unless Mu Sheng mobilizes a large army to start a war.

The guards opened the door, but Zhu Gaoxu still stopped them from coming in and walked into the room alone. Duan Yang was not tied up today, her mood seemed to be calm and normal, and when she saw Zhu Gaoxu, she also came to salute, "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”

"Excuse me." Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture and immediately said, "Last time, Mrs. Duan said a deal, but I didn't agree. I'm also proposing a deal today, just to see if we can talk about it. ”

Duan Yang said: "Please make it clear to Your Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "According to Mrs. Duan's wishes, the reward is to release Mrs. Duan." 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 can negotiate it. ”

Duan Yang raised his head, "The concubine is willing to hear about it." ”

So Zhu Gaoxu said two things for her to do. Duan Yang didn't hesitate much, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at her face and said seriously: "If Mrs. Duan doesn't do those things according to the agreement, I will tell Xiping Hou all the details; In the future, if we want to deal with each other again, it will be difficult to have trust. I just hope that Mrs. Duan will weigh it up a little. ”

……

In the restaurant opened by Chen Dazhu's family, the banner does not write Chen, but Qin. Military households can't do business and other livelihoods, Chen Dazhui wants to cover it up; However, he was not punished, but because of the relationship between the Han kings.

The courtyard where Ping An lived was very small, with only a few rooms, most of which were full of miscellaneous items; In one of the rooms there was a cellar with a lot of wine piled up.

Ping An just moved in and felt very satisfied. After all, he walked thousands of miles with two horses, did not dare to stay in an inn, did not dare to enter the post house, and slept in the open for nearly a month, and now he can settle down in peace, and there are people to shelter, and he feels much better.

When I first met Zhu Gaoxu, Ping'an was very embarrassed, but fortunately he was thick-skinned; And Zhu Gaoxu doesn't seem to like to blame others with morality and character, and he didn't embarrass Ping An too much.

There is no need to be blamed, and Ping An does not despise his greed for life and fear of death...... It's just that I'm really unwilling, so I died in the gutter with some inexplicable crimes!

Ping An thinks to himself, if he knows the way to death, and he wants to be willing to die, there is only one thing: that is, he really can't live. Otherwise, whether it is the humiliation of the hatred of taking his wife, or the defeat of his reputation, he will not be allowed to seek death!

And in his current situation, he is obviously not completely cornered. His father is the adopted son of Taizu, and he still has connections, such as King Han, who is willing to give him a way to live.

What does King Han want to do, Ping An doesn't want to think about it at the moment.

Ping An didn't live in Qin's courtyard for a few days, and Zhu Gaoxu came again. At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the courtyard was gloomy.

"Meet the King of Han." Ping An hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and saluted.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a very casual tone: "Brother Ping'an will go out with us to do some errands today, and come back for breakfast." ”

Ping An didn't ask much after hearing this, and immediately replied, "I'll come with my clothes on." ”

"Brother Ping'an." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly called again, "Lingbi meet, I said that we will no longer be enemies in the future." If I say one more word today, I won't harm Brother Ping'an, you must remember. ”

Ping'an hugged his fists and said: "Thank you King Han!" ”

After putting on the clothes, he put on the big hat safely, and walked out of the door of the other courtyard with Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Dazhu. There was a carriage blocked at the door, and Zhu Gaoxu lifted the curtain with his own hands, please get into the carriage safely.

The person who drove the car was the eunuch Wang Gui, Zhu Gaoxu, Ping'an, and another tall young man sat in the carriage; Chen Dazhui led a horse beside him. A group of five people quietly walked out of the courtyard of the Chen family.

Ping An looked at the man sitting next to him, dressed very strangely. The man looked like a nobleman in a blue satin robe with a regimental collar, a square scarf on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist. But which nobles can participate in the secret affairs of the King of Han, Ping An really can't guess.

Zhu Gaoxu and Ping'an faced each other silently, and didn't say anything for a while.

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

Chen Dazhui rode a horse and carried a lantern to light the way, but there were lanterns scattered all over the city, and the road was not dark. It didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and the wood-paneled shops were the first to open, and the streets gradually became a little more popular.

Ping An first came back to Yunnan Mansion and was not familiar with this city. I didn't know where I went, but the carriage and horses stopped at the side of the street. Chen Dazhu, who was riding a horse, turned over and dismounted, standing next to the horse.

After waiting for a long time, a man walked quickly to this side, and the man came to Chen Dazhui's side, bowed his head and whispered something, and then left.

Chen Dazhui then walked to the side of the carriage, hugged his fists and said, "Young man, people are here." ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Ping'an and said in a deep voice: "Now Brother Ping'an gets off the carriage and leads Chen Dazhu's horse to the north to the first intersection; Then go to the right, after walking a street, there is a rice shop at the intersection, and Brother Ping An is waiting for the shop at this time. Our carriage made a detour, and when we arrived at the door of the rice shop, Brother Ping'an got into the car. Luckily? ”

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

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Ping An with a sincere face and did not speak again. Ping'an had to clench his fists and said: "According to the words of King Han, I will get off the carriage!" ”

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and took off the big hat on Ping'an's head.
