Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 74 The Battle of Beijing and China

Unexpectedly, if the King of Shu didn't go, it would be fine. After going to the Elephant and Aunt's House once, I don't know if it's because of the taste or what, but he stayed directly in the Qingyu room in the Mo Qingju for three or four days in a row and didn't leave.

And that sapphire, who usually has a very strong appetite, decided not to take the same guest a second time.Meeting Zhu Chun who was already handsome and extraordinary, maybe he was really moved, and he didn't even pay attention to other benefactors, and only accepted this one guest every day.

On the evening of the fourth day, Xia Ziling went to Mo Qingju because he couldn't find Zhu Chun after he got off duty.

At that time, Zhu Chun had just sat down in the private room, and today Qingyu suddenly came to play the piano and perform, and Zhu Chun was also happy to drink tea and listen to music.Qingyu's qin skills are not outstanding, but a beauty playing the qin is a kind of fun. When the artistic conception is reached, the tune is not particularly important.

However, before listening to the last piece of the song, there was a little boy outside the door to report that a young master surnamed Ling was looking for the prince urgently.

Zhu Chun looked at Qingyu, smiled softly, and said, "Qingyu, this is your territory, whether you see it or not, it's up to you."

Qingyu smiled affectionately, and said a little shyly: "I don't allow idlers to enter here, but Wang Gongzi is different from others, your business is Qingyu's business, since there is something urgent, then let him in Bar."

After a while, Xia Ziling entered the private room under the guidance of a child. This was the first time he entered the Elephant and Aunt House in the Ming Dynasty, so he took a closer look.

The private room in Mo Qingju is simple and elegantly furnished. The tables, chairs and beds are made of high-quality sandalwood, which is expensive at first glance; there are several calligraphy and paintings on the wall, all of which are ink paintings by famous contemporary masters; There are several pots of orchids, which are elegant and pleasant.And the leading young lady sitting behind the zither did not wear heavy makeup like vulgar prostitutes. Not only did she not wear makeup, her appearance was not even effeminate, but she had a handsome and refined posture.

This high-end Elephant and Aunt House is really wonderful with the top-notch young lady. No wonder the princes, nobles, and literati all think it is elegant to have fun here.Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang himself didn't expect that while he closed a door to the officials, he opened another door with a more unique style.

Looking around, after seeing the true face of Xianggu House, Xia Ziling didn't look at Qingyu, and said to Zhu Chun, "Young master, I have something urgent to discuss, and this matter can't be delayed any longer. Can you move to a clean place?" Elaborate?"

But Zhu Chun seemed not to understand Xia Ziling's hint, and replied casually: "It's very quiet here in Qingyu, so it's okay to say anything."

Seeing that Xia Ziling still looked hesitant, Zhu Chun took a sip of tea, and suddenly said: "If you still have scruples, I might as well say it clearly, I am going to bring Qingyu into the mansion, so there is no need to hide my identity, Qingyu , I am actually not a prince, but the King of Shu who was conferred by the Holy Majesty today."

Qingyu's hand playing the piano trembled instantly, bringing out a broken sound.He hurriedly knelt down, not concealing his panic, and said: "See you, my lord! I don't know how my lord rebelled, so I'm so negligent, please forgive me."

Zhu Chun got up and gently picked up Qingyu, "Why are you being negligent? Qingyu please get up quickly." Then he turned to Xia Ziling and said, "Now we can speak directly."

"..." Since Zhu Chun is so generous, Xia Ziling did not shy away from it, and said: "A few days ago, I received a report from an informant, and the King of Qin secretly sent someone to hand over a memorial to impeach the prince. I don't know if this is true or not. Someone secretly promoted it, and it turned out to be a big mess. Today, the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate brought more than [-] people to supervise the censors, and made a joint impeachment paper. If you don't think about it in the mansion, you can't go out."

Zhu Chun nodded, and said: "I know. If I come out, I will only see Qingyu, so I am going to take Qingyu back? I don't need to visit here again, and you will go to Mo Qingju in a while." The master negotiated the ransom." After Zhu Chun finished speaking, he turned to look at Qingyu, "Qingyu, come with me, surely you won't have any objections?"

Qingyu paused, but she quickly said: "Qingyu is very happy to be favored by the prince."

Zhu Chun nodded, and then said to Xia Ziling: "Second brother can't do anything good there, don't worry about him, just let him mess around, but fourth brother, you should pay more attention."

"There is an excellent opportunity for King Yan right now." Xia Ziling looked at Qingyu with some hesitation after speaking.

Qingyu was sensible, and immediately said: "My lord, Qingyu is going to the kitchen to prepare some supper for you, you two talk first."

But Zhu Chun grabbed Qingyu and said, "Why do you have to go in person for such trivial matters as preparing supper, just let the little boy go. My king won't see you leave, just sit obediently."

Qingyu was forced to press on the chair beside him by the king of Shu, but she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

Xia Ziling continued: "The king of Yan is staying in the middle of the capital with the relapse of an old injury. A few days ago, Princess Xu and her eldest son Gao Chi went to Beijing to visit. The person sent by the minister to the palace of the king of Yan reported that Zhu Gaochi was on the way with more than a thousand guards. They are fully armed, and even brought sharp weapons such as firecrackers."

Zhu Chun said, "So what?"

Xia Ziling smiled slyly, "My lord, I forgot that Zhu Gaochi has not been canonized as the son of Prince Yan. This kind of entourage even exceeds the cost of the son. Now that the situation in the capital is unclear, isn't Zhu Gaochi going to bring troops into the palace to force him?"

"Joke, more than a thousand people, even with a few firecrackers, what can they accomplish?"

Xia Ziling said again: "My lord, do you still remember that you returned to Beijing privately from Zhongdu? You only brought three or four entourages with you at that time, but you were still framed for plotting to commit crimes, and you were almost in danger. Zhu Gaochi and more than a thousand people couldn't make things happen." gone?"

Zhu Chun suddenly had an epiphany, and nodded with a smile.Everything depends on people's hype, and the father is suspicious by nature. The matter of bringing more than a thousand soldiers to Beijing is also big or small.

Xia Ziling continued to add: "It was not appropriate for King Yan to stay in the capital, and now there are a large group of guards here. If the prince impeaches him with a group of ministers, it is estimated that he will not be able to eat this time. "

"If he protects Zhu Gaochi and says that this matter was ordered by him, then the King of Yan will not be able to get rid of his involvement. The emperor will at least punish him to return to Peiping immediately? If he puts aside the relationship and says that Zhu Gaochi did it privately, then it will be even worse. Well, if we let the ministers impeach Zhu Gaochi to death, maybe the emperor will kill the chickens and monkeys, anyway, the emperor is blessed and has many grandchildren, so he doesn't care about missing one or two."

Zhu Chun patted the table and praised: "This plan is very clever! So, you first discuss the matter of Qingyu's ransom, and then proceed to do it. I will stay with Qingyu today."

"Yes, then I will take my leave first." Xia Ziling said, bowed his head and left the private room.

After Xia Ziling left, Zhu Chun and Qingyu continued to drink and enjoy the music together, and at the time of the child, Zhu Chun ordered a mattress to be prepared for him, and he wanted to rest.

After Qingyu heard the words and took two steps, she suddenly turned her head and smiled, and said, "My lord, how long are you going to pretend?"

Zhu Chun stared, "Oh, what are you pretending to be?"

"My lord doesn't like to stay with me, but he still insists on coming here every day to act. Wouldn't it be very hard? When did Qingyu show her feet and let the lord stare at me like this?"

Now that the sapphire was broken, Zhu Chun no longer pretended to be gentle and intoxicated, and simply narrowed his eyes and said: "I didn't expect you to lose your temper first, Mr. Qingyu, maybe you prefer me to call you Mr. Lanqing ?”

Qingyu was stunned when she heard the words, "How...how did you find out that I belonged to Lan Qing? Impossible!"

Zhu Chun said coldly: "It is true that your appearance has nothing in common with before, but your voice has not changed."

"..." The sound is different from the intuitive appearance. In fact, few people pay attention to it. Only people who are extremely close will be very familiar with the sound.He asked himself that he had only met the King of Shu once, why would the King of Shu never forget his voice?unless……

"Is the lord looking at other people through me?" In the past few days, the King of Shu came to him every day, and outsiders seemed to be obsessed with him, Qingyu, and he was reluctant to leave. Only he knew that the two were just talking at night by candlelight. That's all.This "night talk" is a real night talk. The king of Shu talked to him non-stop, talking about trivial matters, which made his mouth dry.If the king of Shu favored him, that's all. If he didn't touch him like this, it would arouse people's suspicion.

When he was in the central capital, he met the king of Shu in a different way, and now he has returned to his original appearance. He thinks his appearance is attractive enough, but the king of Shu turned a blind eye to him. Now the king of Shu said that he recognized him from his voice. From him, so to speak... the king of Shu is interested in his voice?

Speaking of voice... People in the world are always very sensitive to these happy affairs, Qing Yu suddenly hooked her lips, and said: "The prince's sweetheart, isn't it the son who just came?"

Zhu Chun smiled faintly, "Yes or no, it has nothing to do with you."

He came with Zhu Gui that day because he found that some small things that were deployed recently were often taken first, and he suspected that there were spies around him.However, after a thorough investigation in the mansion, there was no suspicious person, so he turned his attention to Zhu Gui's big mouth.Zhu Gui, the person who loves to linger in romantic places, and can't control it when he spits out after drinking, and everyone knows that this romantic place is the most unfathomable place.

He was just thinking of giving it a try, and didn't expect to gain something so soon, but he didn't want to see Qingyu that day and hear that familiar voice, and he would understand a little bit.

Ordinarily he was supposed to put a long line to catch big fish, but he still couldn't help being excited, so he stayed that night to talk with Qingyu Bingzhu at night.This feeling of looking at another person through one person is uncomfortable, but it makes people unable to restrain themselves. At that moment, he suddenly understood Sapphire's mood.

However, it doesn't matter if you solve the mystery earlier, Zhu Chun is such a person who likes to solve the problem quickly!

"Then...Mr. Qingyu, since everyone has made it clear that people don't do secret things, can you tell me, who is the big tree behind you?"

Qingyu smiled lightly, "Smart people like the King of Shu, why do you need me to say it clearly, you should already have a bottom line in your heart."

"Just now, the two of you deliberately talked nonsense in front of me, saying that you were going to attack the King of Yan. Didn't you already know who I was doing this for? However, the King of Shu dared to tell you about such an important matter. Is it a bluff?"

"Is it really nonsense?" Zhu Chun looked at Qingyu with a half-smile, "If you really think that this king is talking nonsense, why rush to show your cards and get out to report to your master, besides, now Why bother to testify."

Qingyu's complexion changed, and the King of Shu was indeed not a fool.I was really anxious about this matter, but today the king of Shu and his subordinates openly discussed such a major matter with him, he was even more convinced that his identity had been exposed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get away, so he hurriedly acted, this is one of the reasons; If he is really redeemed by the king of Shu and brought into the palace tomorrow, then he will truly lose his wife and lose his army. This is the second; Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of the king of Yan, is indeed on his way to Beijing, and the king of Shu has already set up a trap. Take precautions, this is the third.

"The lord is really powerful, Qingyu admires it," Qingyu said, but smiled slyly, "But the lord can guard against my diet, and people have to test it before drinking tea and meals, but I didn't expect that I poisoned my hands. Before you He didn't even touch my sleeve, but he held my hand today in a hurry, and now he has been poisoned by the unique secret medicine of sapphire, my lord, look at your luck, do you still feel that everything is under control?"

Just now Zhu Chun felt that the qi in his body was turbulent. When Qingyu said this, he suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, and couldn't help panting heavily while holding on to the sandalwood table beside him. It was indeed a sign of poisoning.

"You..." Zhu Chun gritted his teeth bitterly and squeezed out a word, but his body had already collapsed on the chair.
