Bright Spring

"I pay my respects to my father!" Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and bowed.

"Gao Xu, do you know that the son received a secret letter from Jin Yiwei?" King Yan asked.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Going back to my father, I already know about it. Eldest brother is doing well in Beiping, and father has won successive victories in the battlefield. Eldest brother is your own son. How could he go to the Jianwen court? He is a strategist in the court. I also know that it is useless to win over the son, how could they do something unreasonable?"

"It's really unreasonable." King Yan said.

Zhu Gaoxu then said: "Only fools would do unreasonable things, but the princes of the court are not fools, so they will do reasonable things."

King Yan asked, "What is reasonable?"

Zhu Gaoxu replied: "Separate us father and son."

King Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed "ha", "It's quite a complicated matter, it seems simple when you put it that way."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and took a look, then bowed again with clasped fists.

King Yan turned his head and said, "Gao Sui, what do you think?"

Gao Sui said: "Father, I think my second brother is right, the treacherous ministers in the court are really bad and full of tricks!"

King Yan just nodded slightly, as if he didn't feel much.But Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised: not long ago, Gao Sui spoke so excitedly at the county prince's mansion, which was regarded as a rare opportunity; but now that Zhu Gaoxu stopped speaking ill of the prince, Gao Sui could bear it?

At least, Gao Sui isn't dead-brained, he changes quite quickly.

"It suddenly rained in the sky." King Yan sighed.

At this moment, Zheng He walked in from the door. The rain outside was so loud that he didn't even hear footsteps.Zheng He stepped forward and said softly, "My lord, the prince is here. If you want to see your lord, you should hide from the rain in the gatehouse."

After hearing this, King Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu and the others, "Go out from the West Gate Tower. Zheng He, wait for half a stick of incense and bring your son in."

Zhu Gaoxu and Gao Sui went up to pay respects and said, "Your servant will leave." Zheng He also took orders and left.

... Soon, Shizi walked into the front hall. He was fat and his legs and feet were not good. He walked in a hurry and his posture was very ugly.

"Father! Father!" the son called out as soon as he came in, "The man outside is Jin Yiwei from the capital, and he sent a letter to my son."

"Oh?" King Yan pretended to be surprised.

The prince then stepped forward, took out a letter from his pocket, and presented it, "I didn't open the letter, and brought both the person and the letter!"

King Yan took the letter, saw that the lacquer seal was still there, and checked carefully that there were no traces of it being removed.He didn't respond to Shizi for the time being, and waited for Shizi to stand below bending over nervously.The crown prince still did a good job, not only took the initiative to report, he didn't even read the contents of the letter, showing a completely disinterested attitude towards the court.

King Yan then opened the envelope with his own hands and read it in his hand.

He had just listened to the son's report and showed a slight surprise, but at this moment his expression just closed, after reading the letter, surprise appeared on King Yan's face again.Then his face also turned dark, under the dim candlelight, it looked even darker, and as the candlelight swayed, the color of his face became more cloudy and uncertain.

King Yan suddenly crumpled the letter into a ball, almost crushing the letter with his palm!Even the blue veins on the back of the hands were bulging, and the person was pacing in front of the seat, his eyes were red, very scary.

Shizi bent even lower, facing the floor tiles, not even daring to breathe.Zheng He in the back also retracted his neck.

But King Yan gradually slowed down as he walked, but he still didn't say a word.

After a while, he gradually relaxed the palm of his hand, unfolded the ball of paper again, walked to a candle, put the letter paper on the flame, and it ignited quickly, and the moment King Yan let go, the whole paper burned Floating to the ground, they all turned into a mass of black ash.

King Yan pointed at the people outside and shouted, "Zheng He!"

"The servant is here." Zheng He said.

King Yan let out a breath, and said in a cold tone: "Lock up the Jinyi guard outside. Didn't our house raise a few hounds and starve them for three to five days, then strip that guy and tie him to a pillar, and let the hounds eat only Sprinkle salt on the lower body and make him die of pain."

Zheng He didn't have a single superfluous word, he clasped his fists and said, "Your servant understands."

Shizi's fat and white face became even paler now.

King Yan glanced at him, "Why are you still standing here, go back!"

The prince hurriedly said: "My son, I will take my leave, I will take...retire."

King Yan turned his head to look at the seat, sat down on it, and remained motionless for a long time.After a while, he stood up again and walked slowly back and forth in the empty and calm hall.

The wind and rain were blowing outside the hall, and the remaining leaves on the trees were blown off one after another, flying around in the wet wind.This palace, which can accommodate at least a hundred people, is only the king of Yan at this time, and it is empty, looking extraordinarily desolate and cold.

Chapter 83 The heart is not old

People who live in the capital look at Zhongshan Mountain, see the mountains towering like fairy mountains amidst the clouds and mist, and they are fascinated by it, and they often want to climb the mountain in person.

Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru were no exception. After they made an appointment, they boarded Zhongshan during their ten-day vacation.

"Huchi, Huchi..." When Fang Xiaoru bent over and climbed up, his breathing was like pulling a bellows, and he pressed his hands on the ground, as if he was climbing up, and finally straightened up.

Xu Huizu only panted for a while, then his expression became indifferent, and he looked at Fang Xiaoru with a smile: "Dr. Fang's physical strength is not good!"

Fang Xiaoru waved his hands and almost sat down.He glanced at Xu Huizu, seeing Xu Huizu's tall body standing there as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

After Fang Xiaoru rested for a while, he stood on a high place and looked at the whole city of the capital, with a joyful expression gradually showing on his face.

Xu Huizu saw it and said with a smile, "This is the fun of mountain climbing. Only by climbing by yourself can you appreciate the state of mind at this time."

Fang Xiaoru was still panting, and didn't want to say anything, just nodded in agreement.

There were men in green robes standing everywhere on the mountainside. They didn't come up, but just observed the surroundings silently.However, there are not many people climbing the mountain today, not to mention that this is not a road leading to a certain temple, there is nothing bare, and it is even more inaccessible.

The two stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth with great interest.

At this moment, Xu Huizu said without turning his head: "I heard an anecdote from the countryside..."

Fang Xiaoru said: "Mr. Xu, why don't you come and listen?"

Xu Huizu said: "It's about an old rich man in the village who has accumulated his family property all his life. His family is well-off, he has sons and daughters, and he envies others. But once the eldest son wanted to take a concubine and asked the rich man for money, but the rich man refused to give it to him. He. The eldest son was annoyed, and said to his father: You will go to the ground sooner or later, and then you will be out of control! His father was even more annoyed, and scolded: "Do you want me to die early, so you can get it quickly." family property……"

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoru was also annoyed, and cursed: "Great rebellion! People's hearts are so low. Such an unfilial son should be arrested by the government for questioning!"

"Dr. Fang, Mr. Fang calm down." Xu Huizu glanced at him, and felt that it seemed a bit too much to tell people like Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru was still a bit pedantic and couldn't tolerate such immoral things.

Xu Huizu hurriedly persuaded: "It's just a hearsay story, I don't know if it's true or not, why should Mr. Fang go up to the top? Even if he really took his son to punish the crime, the old rich man is willing to do it? It's hard for an honest official to decide on housework!"

"Alas..." Fang Xiaoru sighed.

Xu Huizu said calmly: "The old rich man's little family property, what is there to worry about? But... If he has the wealth of the world, the honor of the high position, the power to control the four directions, and his son can inherit it, will he How to think about it?"

Fang Xiaoru froze for a moment, then fell silent thoughtfully.

Xu Huizu sighed, and said slowly: "Some people won't fight for power and profit just for others. Even sons, don't think about it too quickly. It will be done when the father really can't take it away. "

……

The rain in Peiping has stopped, but the ground is not completely dry.The sky was still gray, and the clouds blocked the sun, so there was no sunlight at all.
