"Gao Chi, you three brothers can live here. The courtyard has just been swept and the bedding has been replaced with new ones."
Xu Huizu brought the three brothers Zhu Gaochi to their residence and said calmly.
The scenery here is beautiful, with sparse flowers and trees, elegant pavilions, and a pool of spring water in front of the two-story pavilion. Fish are swimming in the water, which is a good place. But Xu Huizu's face is a bit cold, three nephews are here, and his relatives are visiting from afar, and It was originally a happy event to be a relative whom we had not seen for many years, but now Prince Yan's house is really an untouchable family, and everyone else is afraid of avoiding it. He, Xu Huizu, couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to, so he had to try his best to draw clear boundaries in his attitude.
Zhu Gaochi was kind-hearted and knew his uncle's difficulties. Seeing his extremely cold attitude, he was not upset at all. He just bowed and said respectfully: "Brother Gaochi, you are disturbing your uncle."
Xu Huizu said calmly: "What kind of polite words can the family say? Okay, you guys should wash up and have a rest first. I have already ordered the house to prepare a dinner for you, but unfortunately, tonight my uncle and several adults in the court I won’t accompany you if we make an appointment to drink together. You should stay at home and wait until the late Emperor’s death day to visit Xiaoling’s tomb. Don’t cause any trouble. Gao Chi, you are the elder brother, so you should take good care of your younger brother. They."
"Yes, Gao Chi will definitely obey his uncle's instructions."
Xu Huizu hummed and left calmly.
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Brother, look..."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened, he stopped what he was saying, and said in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten what my father told me when I went to the capital?"
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "That's all! You are the only one who can bear his cowardice."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and saw that Xia Xun had arranged the guards and was rushing over, so he stepped forward to greet him. Xia Xun clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged here. The three princes should wash up and rest first. Turn around... Three If the prince is going out for fun, please inform me in advance so that I can make some arrangements."
Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but roar: "Damn it, are we here as prisoners when we come to Jinling? You have to monitor us when we come in and out?"
"Gao Sui, shut up!"
Zhu Gaochi stopped the third brother sternly, pulled Xia Xun aside, walked away, lowered his voice, and apologized to him: "The second brother and the third brother are rude and reckless. My father was worried that they would cause trouble, so he did not tell Mr. Yang's matter." Tell them, please don’t blame them if they speak too softly or too seriously.”
Xia Xun smiled and said: "No, the prince can just live in Jinling with peace of mind. Since I have been entrusted by His Highness King Yan, I will definitely find a way to send His Highness back to Peking safely."
Zhu Gaochi said gratefully: "Mr. Yang's kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by the Yan Palace. But..."
He hesitated for a moment and said with some difficulty: "If you have to, you can't take risks. Unless Gao Chi doesn't believe in Master Yang's arrangement, it's really..."
Xia Xun smiled softly, nodded and said, "I understand, my lord!"
What Zhu Gaochi said "if you have to" means that unless you go through all kinds of efforts, it is impossible to go back through normal channels. At the same time, it must be that by the time Nanjing and Peking are at their wits' end, the two sides are already going to break up. Only this Only then can the three brothers leave.
Because the three of them came to Nanjing originally to paralyze Zhu Yunwen and buy time for his father. If they fled before the time came, they would not have come in the first place. But this would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Xia Xun's mission.
When they come to Nanjing, they will be closely monitored by the imperial court. The imperial guards responsible for "protecting" them may not be able to be controlled by Xia Xun. Once Emperor Jianwen's plans are revealed, the three brothers will become Nanjing's
An important bargaining chip in Peiping must be monitored more closely. At that time, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to escape.
After Zhu Gaochi said that, he saw that Xia Xun was still calm and confident, and he couldn't help but secretly became curious: "From Nanjing to Peiping, all the way is the imperial power. If you don't get the emperor's favor,
Yes, if you want to return to Peiping, you have to get wings, but looking at his appearance, he seems to be fully prepared?"
"Haha, it's Chi'er, are Xu'er and Suier here? Where are my three good nephews?"
Following the sound, Xu Zengshou, who was wearing a first-class military attaché uniform, looked like the unicorn embroidered on his chest, and rushed into the yard with teeth and claws. As soon as he entered the yard, he happened to bump into the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui. Xu Zengshou was on the left
He looked to the right and said with great joy: "You must be the second and third children, oh! Look at these guys, they are so tall at such a young age. Which one of you is Gao Xu and which one is Gao Sui?"
Before the two brothers could answer, Zhu Gaochi had already taken a step forward. As he ran, his whole body was trembling with fat. Zhu Gaochi bent down his big belly with difficulty and said respectfully: "My nephew, Gaochi, has met my third uncle."
When Xu Zengshou saw it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "My grandma, you...are you Gao Chi? Gao Chi, when your uncle hugged you when you were a child, he said you were too fat and told you to eat less in the future.
, I haven’t seen you for a few years, look at you, you are getting more and more amazing!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui listened and couldn't help but snicker. Xia Xun couldn't help but have a slight smile on his face. He had just watched Xu Huizu's attitude towards his three nephews with cold eyes, and Xia Xun couldn't help but secretly feel cold.
But at this moment, seeing Xu Zengshou not avoiding suspicion and rushing back from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion in excitement as soon as he heard that his nephew was coming, Xia Xun also felt warm in his heart. After all, not everyone in this world is mercenary.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
It was already dark, Xu Zengshou, who was burping and smelling of alcohol, had just sent his three nephews back to their room to rest.
In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Huizu even refused to eat the first meal with his three nephews when they arrived at his home. The third son, Xu Zengshou, didn't care about this. He accompanied his three nephews and called his son and nephew.
The whole family had a great time drinking in the evening.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are not very old, but they are also good drinkers. However, the family rules are very strict, so they can only drink a little secretly occasionally. Now with the encouragement of such an unruly uncle, they don't listen to the elder brother's dissuasion at all. The younger brothers drink
He was so drunk that he finally had to be carried back.
The eldest brother, Zhu Gaochi, actually has a good drinking capacity. Although he drinks very moderately, under the persuasion of his uncle and a group of cousins in the Zhongshan Palace, he drank a lot that night, but when he walked back to the bedroom, he was still
He is calm and steady, his face does not change color.
"Yang Xu, you have to take good care of my three nephews for me. I can't let them get into the same kind of scandal that happened to his father in Jinling. If anything happens to them, I'll be your only one."
It’s a question!”
Xu Zengshou sent his eldest nephew back. When he walked to the Moon Gate, he happened to see Xia Xun guarding there. He stopped and gave Xia Xun serious instructions. The lawsuit between Xia Xun and the Yang family was
Huang Zicheng, the teacher of the emperor's grandson, was also involved. Xu Zengshou helped Xia Xun a lot at that time. Afterwards, Xia Xun also came to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion to thank Xia Xun with greetings and gifts. Because of this relationship, Xu Zengshou did not regard Xia Xun as an outsider.
.
Xia Xun leaned forward and said: "Grand Governor, please rest assured that I will take good care of the three princes and will never let them be harmed."
"Um!"
Xu Zengshou nodded, and under the influence of alcohol, he said a few pointed words: "I know that if some people want to do harm to my three nephews, you can't control them even if you want to. Just do your best. It's true.
What's so embarrassing and you can't do anything about it? I hope you can tell me that they are my nephews. If anything happens under my nose, I will never have the face to see my eldest sister in my life."
Xia Xun's heart felt hot, and he leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand. I understand... there is one more thing I want to report to the Governor."
"Um?"
The drunkenness in Xu Zengshou's eyes swept away, and he asked solemnly: "What's the matter?"
Xia Xun originally wanted to keep this secret in his heart and wait until King Yan and Emperor Jianwen broke up publicly before telling it. However, he saw that Xu Zengshou was a person who valued family ties very much and was not a cold-blooded politician like his elder brother who only cared about gains and losses.
, Xia Xun was moved in his heart, and finally told the secret hidden in his heart: "The little princess is safe and sound now, the governor should not be too worried."
Xu Zengshou grabbed his shoulder and said with great joy: "What did you say? Have you seen my little sister? Where is she? Is everything okay?"
Xia Xun said: "Beizi went to Peiping a few days ago to investigate the illegal affairs of Jinyiwei officials, and happened to meet the princess on the way. At that time, Beizhi planned to send the princess back, but the princess refused, so Beizhi had no choice but to take her with him.
Went to Peking together."
Xu Zengshou was stunned for a moment, then let go and said, "So, she is at the eldest sister's house now?"
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "No, now Prince Yan's Mansion is the target of public criticism. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Prince Yan's Mansion. The princess was worried that her appearance in Prince Yan's Mansion would bring inconvenience to Prince Yan and Princess Yan, so after arriving in Peking, she has been
I did not get in touch with Prince Yan's Mansion, but was arranged by my humble position to temporarily live in the home of a wealthy businessman."
Xu Zengshou murmured: "My little sister has grown up and become sensible..."
Xu Zengshou sighed for a moment, then suddenly glared again, grabbed Xia Xun's shoulders and cursed: "How many fucking days have it been since you returned to Jinling? Why didn't you say it until now?"
Xia Xun said helplessly: "It's a very important matter. If I hadn't seen the Governor showing his true feelings today, I still wouldn't have said anything despite my humble position."
Xu Zengshou snorted, and Xia Xun added: "Actually, the little princess also told Beizhi. She said that the third brother was the best to her and doted on her the most. She told Beizhi to tell the governor about her whereabouts after returning to Nanjing.
So as not to worry the Governor. But..., please forgive me, the Governor, the princess is young after all. These words... I dare not say these words before seeing what the Governor did today, despite my humble position!"
