Chapter 144 Can't Let Your Brother Go?(1/2)
Chapter 144 Can’t I give in to your brother?
Li Jinglong continued to lead his troops and Wu Gao was transferred to Guangxi. The two news spread to Peiping one after another, and the Prince of Yan's mansion was privately more lively than the New Year.
At this time, the Yan army had determined that Li Jinglong was planning to attack Peking again next spring, so the King of Yan decided to attack Datong first and not give the southern army a chance to rest.
Because Datong is very important, Li Jinglong must rescue the Yan army. Li Jinglong's troops are more than twice as far away from Datong as the Yan army, and there are fewer cavalry, so they can lead the southern army to run for their lives.
Attacking Datong was also the result of careful consideration by King Yan and his subordinates.
At this time, King Yan occupied Beiping and Yongping, as well as parts of Baoding.
There are no enemy troops in the north, and the bulk of the army is in the south.
In addition, there is Shanhaiguan in the northeast, which is difficult to fight. Just use Yongping to guard it. Now that Wu Gao is away, it will be easier and more assured.
There are a small number of officers and soldiers in Datong to the west. If they can be removed, there will be no enemies to the west of Beiping, and they can fight against the officers and soldiers to the south with all their strength.
After deliberation, King Yan decided to send troops in late December. Only Zhang Yu's central army would be dispatched for this battle. Many of King Yan's confidants, such as Tan Yuan, Huo Zhen, Xue Liu, Zhang Wu, etc. were on the way.
His expression slowly calmed down, he was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and forced a smile: "My aunt is right, Gao Xu was impulsive. Hey, it's true, it's true, that girl Jing is really beautiful."
As expected, the most ruthless emperor's family, as a member of the royal family, cannot choose the person he likes at all.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be his aunt Xu Miaojin.
But at least he didn't get dizzy and knew he couldn't do this.
"Gao Xu, come in quickly, it's cold outside." Princess Xu's voice was gentle but also had a touch of majesty.
Huang Yan shouldn't be this kind of person? Or am I wrong?
What Princess Xu said is a bit serious. You can't even let your brother down?
Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to answer. He just felt extremely irritated. He even suddenly wanted to stand up and scream, "I don't care about anything, I want to marry Jing Shu."
"You don't want to think too much about this matter." Princess Xu interrupted Zhu Gaoxu directly.
Zhu Gaoxu felt what she was about to say and immediately said: "Concubine, Gao Xu has something to do. I want to ask Concubine to make the decision?"
Zhu Gaoxu had already heard the undertone from Xu Miaojin that King Yan and Princess Yan had made a decision, and no matter what he did, he could not change it.
"King Qin is about to have a big event, and he needs the support of more court officials."
The King of Yan decided to let Zhu Gaosui marry Jing Shu, which proved that Zhu Gaosui also wanted to open a government and establish a government office, so he needed to have a eunuch beside him who understood the various matters related to the marriage of the county king and the establishment of the government.
Big things come first.
Jing Shu's nervous and cute little face that night was still slowly circling in his mind.
Every time this happens, Zhu Gaoxu wonders if Princess Xu is short-sighted? She insists on touching her face with her hands?
He walked past the Crown Prince and knelt in front of the couch. Princess Xu stretched out her hand to his face out of habit.
Of course he wants to live.
Princess Xu is looking for Prince Gaoyang.
Zhu Gaoxu's reaction just now was so intense that he was about to cry. Xu Miaojin had been unhappy with him before, but when she saw that Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be genuinely moved, she suddenly felt a little sympathy for him.
"Sister, Gao Xu is here."
When he arrived at the palace, he immediately slowed down and waited while walking, hoping to see Huang Yan.
There was a stove burning in the room to compare the temperature. As soon as he came in, he felt a little hot. He looked up and saw that Xu Miaojin and Princess Xu were not wearing coats. He wanted to take them off, but felt it was inappropriate.
Jing Shu is known as the most beautiful woman in Peiping. No wonder Gao Xu never forgets her.
"Does King Gaoyang keep his word?"
Just look at the two people Zhu Gaoxu married before, and you will know that they are both the daughters of military generals, and they are obviously political marriages.
"Take it." Princess Xu smiled slightly and handed the small heater to Zhu Gaoxu's hand.
She was vaguely reminding Zhu Gaoxu that this is your parents' decision and you shouldn't say anything more.
End of November.
He spent the most time in the military camp these days, thinking about how to speak to King Yan every day. His mother-in-law suddenly called him, and Zhu Gaoxu vaguely felt that it was related to this matter.
Huang Yan was transferred away? Zhu Gaoxu cursed in his heart, this bastard, took so much of my property and didn't even say hello?
The eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, is more agile. Every time, mother and son scream out their feelings.
Zhu Gaoxu agreed very happily, because Zhu Di never meant what he said, so what he said himself must count.
The warmth in my hand felt like yesterday.
But there was almost a fire burning in his heart, and he couldn't let it go like this no matter what.
"Will King Gaoyang marry me?"
Then Princess Xu held Zhu Gaoxu's hand tightly with both hands.
He was thinking about this all the way, and then came to the conclusion that he must not let the princess speak first.
"Jing Shu married Gao Sui. She is the principal concubine and has a high status. There is no reason for her to be a concubine for you or Gao Chi."
"Hey." Princess Xu was so anxious that she almost cried when she saw Zhu Gaoxu. She knew that he probably really liked Jing Shu. It was said that Jing Shu also liked Gao Xu. Although she didn't know how the two met, she was definitely going to do this.
Support King Yan.
Brush, Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red.
Zhu Gaoxu walked in quickly and quickly closed the door.
This is really red.
Zhu Gaoxu entered the inner courtyard gloomily and soon came to the room where Princess Xu was.
"Jing Qing is quite famous in the court. Being able to get Jing Qing's support will be of great help to your father's important affairs."
"Is it about Jingqing's daughter Jingshu?" Princess Xu asked immediately.
"The child pays homage to the mother." Zhu Gaoxu actually wanted to imitate Zhu Gaochi in calling him "Niang", but for some reason, he just couldn't put it in his place, and couldn't say it every time the words came to his lips.
Huang Yan is in charge of Princess Xu's inner courtyard, and a lot of news can come out from there.
"What the mother-in-law teaches is that Gao Xu understands." Zhu Gao Xu nodded honestly.
When Zhu Gaoxu was training with the sergeants in the camp, he received an urgent report from the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion.
But usually when he didn't want to see him, Huang Yan would suddenly appear. Today I wanted to see him, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't come, so I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Princess Xu said earnestly: "Gao Xu, you are very sensible now, you should understand a truth."
Zhu Gaosui had a good relationship with Huang Yan, so he asked Huang Yan by name.
Her hands were soft and warm. Zhu Gaoxu came facing the cold wind. His hands were a little cold and his face was even colder.
Xu Miaojin blinked her eyes and said meaningfully.
It should be filled with hot water. This thing has been seen in later generations.
".." Zhu Gaoxu stared, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
But he never thought that Jingnan had just begun, and that he would already become a man who could not keep his words like his father Zhu Di.
"As a royal family, we can't help but do many things. You can keep it in mind when it comes to love between men and women."
In the previous defensive battle of Peiping, Princess Xu went to the city wall several times. She was a woman who was not inferior to men, and won the support of many generals and civil servants.
Although he is good at playing tricks on Zhengzhi and can organize the world, he is still a normal man after all. No man can tolerate his woman being taken away alive.
"Get up quickly and come warm your hands." Princess Xu sat on the couch with a small copper heater in her hand.
Not long after, he came to the inner courtyard and saw a familiar eunuch outside directing the palace maids and young eunuchs to move things.
"Concubine, Gao Xu - I really like Miss Jing, Miss Jing also likes Gao Xu -" Zhu Gaoxu was a little over the top now, his expression extremely excited.
"There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?" Xu Miaojin's voice suddenly came from behind: "Gao Xu, you are still young. You should take your father's important affairs as your priority. Even Miss Jing Shu must obey the instructions of her parents.
Life is not something you can marry just because you want to."
Zhu Gaoxu is very good at adjusting his mood, because he also knows that in this situation, it will not work without adjusting.
She secretly sighed, luckily she did not decide to marry King Yan, otherwise she might end up in the same miserable state as her second sister.
Unless he doesn't want to live anymore.
She let out a long sigh and reached out to caress Zhu Gaoxu's face: "Can't you let your brother do it?"
Xu Miaojin seemed to still remember the last grudge, she glared at Zhu Gaoxu fiercely and immediately retracted her head.
"Prince Gaoyang is here." A maid standing outside the door called inside.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he tried to ask: "Eunuch Hou will be in charge of this place from now on?"
After being touched and held by her like this, his face soon began to feel warm.
"Eunuch Hou, no courtesy." Zhu Gaoxu was surprised. This was Hou Xian, another confidant of King Yan, who had not been in charge of this before.
".." Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed drastically.
"This is an important marriage, not an ordinary love between children. Gao Xu, can you understand what mother means?"
