Xia Xun was accompanied by Meng Ran, the head of the Yanwang Mansion, and investigated inside and outside the Yanwang Mansion for a few days.
At the beginning, Xia Xun kept his distance with a tense face, unable to resist the enthusiastic offensive of Yanwangfu, and Xia Xun's attitude gradually softened.
In the afternoon of this day, Xia Xun, accompanied by Mr.
Meng, walked into the courtyard of the side hall with a smile, and saw more than a dozen carriages loaded there, each car was equipped with four horses, the decoration of the car was very simple, but it was extremely strong, and each car had a swallow-shaped flag, which was not a light car in the city, but a military vehicle that could run long distances.
Xia Xunqi said: "What is this, is there anyone in the palace who wants to travel far away?"
Mr.
Meng said with a smile: "Oh, it's about to be the New Year, as soon as the New Year is over, it is the first year of Jianwen, and the big man who changed the name of the year, as a courtier, has to express his heart to the emperor."
The prince prepared some gifts, sent the chief Shi Gecheng to Beijing to meet the driver, congratulate the New Year, and present the gifts presented by our Yan Wangfu. ” "Chinese New Year, oops" Xia Xun slapped his forehead: "That's right, it's going to be the New Year soon, how did I forget this."
Ge Changshi is leaving, can you wait a while?"
Mr.
Meng said curiously: "Is there something wrong with Lord Yang?"
Xia Xun said: "Today's New Year, I can't go back to Jinling, I go to the street to buy some New Year's goods, please Ge Changshi to bring it back to Jinling on my behalf, is Mr.
Meng willing to help with this?"
Manager Meng smiled when he heard this: "I see, then Yang Baihu doesn't have to go, this little gift, let me Yanwangfu prepare it." ” When Xia Xun heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, these few days are good wine and good meat, thanks to the hospitality of the palace and Mr.
Meng, Yang has no intention of going, how can I ask for the palace to spend again, please wait for a while, I will go to the street to buy something and come back." ” Where is Mr.
Meng willing to listen, he smiled and persuaded him, then turned around and walked away, after a short time, Mr.
Meng walked back, followed by a group of palace attendants, big bags and small wraps, countless cages, Xia Xun dumbfounded and said: "Mr.
Meng, you are this" Mr.
Meng said with a smile: "Our family originally prepared a bite of wild boar for Lord Yang, a box of game such as monkey's head hazelnut mushrooms, and a number of dried fruits with northern flavors.
Oh, Lord Yang, you see, this is for Mrs.
Zun prepared Shu brocade, lake silk, Hunan silk, ten horses each, hehe, don't look at Lord Yang, you are from Jiangnan, these items are your products, we dare to guarantee, the quality is so good, the texture is so high, you will never be able to buy, this is all the princes of the feudal Jiangnan to my prince, give to Mrs.
Zun, make a few new clothes for the New Year. ” When Xia Xun heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "I can't help it, this is too precious." ” Mr.
Meng: "Hey, given by the prince, don't shirk Lord Yang."
Come on, all move into the car, don't get confused, this is all going to be sent to Lord Yang's house. ” After Mr.
Meng finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Xia Xun: "In addition, our prince also prepared ten Beizhu for adults, which was given to my prince by the King of Liao, Beizhu has huge particles, goose yellow color, bright and round, crystal dazzling, far better than the products of Lingnan and Beihai, and ten collars of mink and ten collars of fox skin."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Xun was at a loss, and said repeatedly: "No, absolutely not, this is too valuable, Yang can't accept it." ” Mr.
Meng snorted and said: "Our family is just a slave in front of the prince, whatever the master commands, the slave and maid will do it, Lord Yang will not accept it, our family still dare to be greedy for ink, if Lord Yang thinks it is not appropriate, then talk to the prince." ” In the heart hall, Zhu Di and Changshi Gecheng, who was dressed in a long-distance attire, sat opposite each other.
Zhu Di was wearing a Yanju regular dress, with a wipe on his forehead, and a brazier in front of him, his face was slightly pale, with deep fatigue, and he seemed to be a little unwell.
"Changshi went to Beijing to congratulate the emperor on the Jubilee of the New Year, but more importantly, as soon as the first month of the first month, the Son of Heaven will officially change the year name, which is a major event and should be congratulated."
Ge Cheng arched his hand and said: "Yes, the minister must obey the orders of the prince and live up to the prince's trust." ” Zhu Di snorted, groaned slightly, and said, "Also, you know the current situation of the Yan Palace."
The annihilation of the people in the court is a disaster, and the villain slanders him, causing the emperor to be a little suspicious of me.
Zhu Di is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, to the court, to the emperor, the world can be learned, the emperor according to the emperor's will to cut the military power of the kings, I Zhu Di, as the head of the vassals, took the lead in responding without hesitation.
The emperor wanted to defend the border, and he wanted to transfer the three guards of the palace, and I did not hesitate, and immediately handed over the talisman, and I had no disagreement with the court.
You go this time, to represent me to the emperor, to the court, to show my intentions, the emperor for the future generations, decided to centralize power in the central government, Zhu Di, as the emperor's uncle is the oldest, will give full support, to be an example for the princes of the vassal princes, and also ask the emperor to remember the affection of relatives, don't be taken by the villain, hurt the family harmony. ” Ge Cheng's expression became solemn, he stood up solemnly, lowered his hand and said, "Minister, remember." ” Zhu Di also stood up, the big hands that had been calloused because of the perennial dancing knives and swords held Ge Cheng's hands, those hands were cold and cold, Zhu Di Yin Yin instructed: "Changshi and my Yan Wangfu have always been coexist, co-prosperity, and weal and woe, and my surname Zhu Di's life and future are now entrusted to you." ” Ge Cheng heard a stirring in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Cheng will do his best to live up to his mission."
Xia Xun hurried to the palace where Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, lived, only to see the corner of the palace drumming and singing, the red sleeves fluttering on the hall, there were seven or eight delicate girls singing and dancing, Zhu Gaochi and his two younger brothers Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui were eating and watching the dance.
As soon as he saw Xia Xun coming, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly asked someone to help him up, and said with a shy smile with a trembling belly: "Lord Yang came just in time, hurry up, sit down, eat a glass of water and wine together, and enjoy singing and dancing." ” Xia Xun hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you to the prince, the minister is here to thank the prince for the gift, but the gift is too valuable, and the minister really doesn't dare to take it."
Mr.
Meng didn't dare to take back the order on behalf of the prince, so the minister had to come to see the son, and the prince's kindness was remembered by the minister, but such a heavy gift could not be accepted. ” Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Lord Yang, you and I have the grace of saving lives from top to bottom of the Yanwang Mansion, money and foreign things, what can I not bear, these gifts, I am too light, you don't want to refuse." ” Xia Xun shook his head again and again: "It's not proper, it's really inappropriate, please ask the prince to take back his life, this gift is too heavy, Yang can't stand it." ” Before Zhu Gaochi could speak, Zhu Gaochu's face sank, and he said angrily: "Yang Xu, you can't accept it, or don't you dare to accept it."
Xia Xun's face changed slightly, and he said, "What do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Gaoxu was probably drunk, jumped up, threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground with a "snap", and shattered, and the beautiful girls who were singing and dancing were shocked one by one, and hurriedly stopped singing and dancing, and flashed to the side timidly.
Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Gao Xu, what are you doing?"
"What do you say, big brother, you are also the son of my Yan Wangfu, and your status is noble, so don't stick your hot face to other people's cold butts.
Our Yanwang Mansion is now a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats.
It's too late for this Lord Yang to clear up his relationship with our Yan Wangfu, and he dares to accept your things."

Xia Xun said embarrassedly: "What the county king is talking about, the minister can't understand it." ” "I don't understand" Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "The surname is Yang, what are you doing here in my Yanwang Mansion, it is really to investigate what kind of corrupt pile Jinyi Wei knows it, you are the handle of the Yan Wangfu for the dog emperor."
"Shut up" "The King of the Counties" Xia Xun and Zhu Gaochi exited at the same time, Zhu Gaochu glanced at his brother, and said hesitantly: "The knife is on the neck, what are you afraid of him, I will kill him with a fist and kick."
Seeing a slight hint of a teasing smile flashing at the corner of Xia Xun's mouth, Zhu Gaoxu was even more annoyed, he looked at Xia Xun, rolled up his sleeves and said, "You lackey of the court, don't you dare to kill you?"
As soon as he saw that the second brother was about to make a move, the third prince Zhu Gaosui also jumped up, and formed a horn with the second brother, forcing Xia Xun, Zhu Gaochi panicked and said continuously: "What are you doing, what are you going to do, stop, hurry up and stop for me" He was so anxious that the sweat on his head came down, but his body was so clumsy that it was difficult for people to hold the aisle, where could he stop the two fierce brothers.
Xia Xun was not in a hurry, and bowed slightly and said: "If you want to get the result of the minister, of course the county king dares, but I expect that the county king will never do it." ” Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, and he shouted strangely: "Why can't I do it, I want to kill you, but I want to see who in this palace can stop me."
Xia Xun said slowly: "The one who can stop the county king is naturally the county king himself." ” Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"
Xia Xun said leisurely: "In the past, there were two guard commanders who collided with a prince's honor guard, and were beaten to death by this prince on the street, and afterwards he was only reprimanded by the first emperor.
Now, since the king of the county knows the current situation of King Yan, he should know that any rash action may bring unwarranted disasters to His Royal Highness King Yan.
So I said, the king of the county didn't dare to kill me, he really couldn't kill me, and he didn't kill me because the king of the county was afraid of me, but because of the king's filial piety to the prince. ” Zhu Gaoxu heard this, stared at him blankly for a long time, the murderous aura on his face gradually disappeared, and the raised fist was also put down, he suddenly stomped his foot and yelled at the third Zhu Gaosui: "Let's go" The two brothers walked out angrily, and Zhu Gaochi grabbed it clumsily, forcibly pulled Xia Xun into his seat, and waved his hand: "Play music, dance." ” The musicians hurriedly played vocal music, and several girls looked at each other and stepped forward again.
Zhu Gaochi said to Xia Xun with a bitter face: "Lord Yang, look at this" "Hey, they are all acting from Steward Meng showing off how close the Yan Wangfu and the feudal clans are, the play starts, the three sons of King Yan are not simple, the eldest is just that, how old are the second and third children, and they are so good.
This is to see that I have not been on the topic for several days, and deliberately forced me to make a statement. ” Xia Xun thought secretly, let out a long sigh, immediately entered the role, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, the prince of the county is young and vigorous, a few angry words, where the minister listens, he will not say nonsense." ” Zhu Gaochi let out a long breath and said, "That's good, that's good, come on, it's better if those two muddy boys aren't there, let's have a good drink and talk." ” Xia Xun touched a glass with him, and after drinking dry wine, he said in a low voice: "In the past, it was said that he had a relationship with Yan Wangfu, and the minister inadvertently saved the safety of Yan Wangfu, but he also accepted King Yan's appreciation, and also gave a large number of gold beads and jade treasures, this love minister did not forget."
After the minister went to Jinling, he suffered a lawsuit, a lawsuit with a life-threatening surname, if it weren't for the help of the little county lord of Zhongshan Wangfu and the governor of Xu Dadu, the minister's life would be gone. ” When Xia Xun said this, he didn't need Zhu Gaochi's persuasion, so he poured a cup himself, drank it all in one gulp, slammed the wine glass, and lowered his voice and said: "In the court, there is indeed a annihilation, and the king of the second county is not wrong about this." ” "Oh" Seeing Xia Xun's heart, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were blazing, and he hurriedly poured another cup for him, and said continuously: "You say, you say." ” Xia Xun said: "This annihilator is the emperor Huang Zicheng."
The emperor is benevolent and filial, how can he harm all the imperial uncles, it is all Huang Zicheng, a thief, humming the minister and the family had a dispute, it was he who made trouble behind his back and almost killed the minister's surname.
This Huang Zicheng wants to turn the emperor into a puppet in his hands, so he is naturally most worried that the princes will support the emperor, so he is confused by the evil rumors and falsely spreads the news that the kings have bad intentions. ” Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed slightly, nodded again and again, pushed the cup in front of him, Xia Xun took the cup in his hand, took a sip, and said: "The minister was ordered to come to Beiping this time, and it was my family commander who made the lord suffer the coercion of this minister, and let the minister come to catch the handle of Lord Yan."
The prince can rest assured, the minister knows that the prince is loyal to the court, and his military achievements are impressive, and he is the giant pillar of my Ming Dynasty to deter the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. ” "Lord Yang" Zhu Gaochi grabbed Xia Xun's hand tightly with a pair of soft, fat and fat big hands, and said emotionally: "Lord Yang, if my family can be preserved, I will definitely not forget your kindness to my family." ” Xia Xun said: "Don't say that, the prince just doesn't want to help the abuse, the minister is soft-spoken, and he can't speak in front of the emperor, but the minister believes that justice is in the hearts of the people, and one day, the court will see through the hypocrisy of Huang Zicheng and return the prince to his innocence."
Therefore, the prince of the world cannot accept this generous gift."
Xia Xun said with a righteous face: "The minister is not afraid of this generous gift and biting his hand, but if the minister accepts the gift of the prince, it will be difficult to speak for the prince of Yan, once he is caught by Huang Zicheng, it will cause the prince to be charged with a traffic official." ” "Okay, okay, then I'll ask Mr.
Meng to exchange that gift for a few ordinary New Year's goods."
But Xia Xun was so reluctant, not to give him some rewards, Zhu Gaochi finally felt uneasy, turned his head, and saw a few palace maids who were still in front of the hall with long sleeves and graceful appearance, Zhu Gaochi said: "Lord Yang came alone, without his family, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lonely to sleep peacefully, these beauties are still virgins, you pick two favorite ones to go back, if you are willing to bring them back to Jiangnan in the future, I will send them to you, if not, you will only take care of your sleeping and living during your time in Beiping, how about" "No" Xia Xun said solemnly: "Shizi, the minister is risking his head today, and saying this to the prince is not because the minister is not used to seeing the ministers in the court and destroying the ministers in charge and harming the loyalty; is because the ministers have always admired the heroic spirit of His Royal Highness King Yan; It is because King Yan has the grace of knowing the minister, because the Zhongshan Mansion once saved the minister's surname, and Princess Yan is a person from the Zhongshan Palace, a man of the courtiers, how can Zhi'en not repay the prince to give me wealth and beauty, that is to despise me Yang Xu's personality" When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he hurriedly got up in his clothes and solemnly saluted: "Brother Yang, don't blame, Zhu Gaochi knows that he is wrong."
In the heart hall, Zhu Di had removed the brazier and sat on the chair energetically, with his three sons sitting next to him.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, today I was provoked by my three brothers, and Yang Xu really spit out the truth. ” Zhu Di leaned over slightly and said, "You say." ” Zhu Gaochi said: "Yang Xu and Huang Zicheng have long had grievances, which we have already verified and is indeed true.
Yang Xu was very disgusted with Huang Zicheng's behavior, and at the same time, he was very sympathetic to the current situation of our Yanwang Mansion.
Because of his father's courtesy to him at the beginning, as well as the help of his mother's mother's Zhongshan Palace, Yang Xu wanted to help us, and he admitted to his son that he was indeed ordered by the emperor to arrest our family, but he didn't plan to do it. ” Zhu Di thought for a while, and then asked: "Rich woman, is he willing to accept it?"
"Refused" Zhu Gaochi repeated Xia Xun's resounding words and said, "He is a righteous gentleman. ” Zhu Gaoxu said suspiciously: "Big brother, are you sure he is not scolding us" Zhu Gaochi said: "No, if he is a drunkard with a lust for profit, last time, he would not risk his life to save my whole family."
And this time" He smiled slightly, looked at Zhu Di and said, "If he really has a bad heart and accepts our wealth and women, isn't it the best way to win our trust, why should he refuse?"
"Well, what Chi'er said has a point."
Zhu Gaochi said again: "However, my cousin emperor is really too good at acting, even Yang Xu feels deeply unfair to the current situation of my Yan Palace, and he doesn't think that this is the instruction of the current emperor, but he thinks that Huang Zicheng is picking it up, and the emperor is just being deceived by others." ” Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said: "Alas, in the world, thinking like this, not to mention him We are now a chicken egg under Mount Tai, in times of trouble, Yang Xu can do this, it is enough, with his official position, my father didn't expect to get much help from him, as long as he doesn't make matters worse, then Amitabha." ” Xia Xun rode a horse and walked on the road, thinking of all kinds of things for a few days, he unconsciously showed a slight smile, and after waiting for a few days, the Yongle Emperor finally couldn't hold his breath and tried it, and he also successfully dissected his "heart" under the joint effort of the three sons of King Yan.
He came to Peking because he wanted to rely on the big tree of Zhu Di, but if he wanted to take refuge with someone, he had to pay attention to timing.
If the timing is not right, it won't be worth it if you cast it.
According to Luo Yishi's method, he can indeed gain the trust of King Yan, but because of this, he will have a bad impression of being greedy for money and lustful, he is not a short-term worker, but a long-term worker, how can he give the boss such an impression He wants to come step by step, people's first impression is very important, in social psychology, this is called the first cause effect, in the interaction between people, the first meeting, each other will leave the deepest impression on others, no matter what you say, or what you do, in the minds of others, has already left a mark.
This brand is your symbol.
A psychologist once conducted an experiment in which he used two paragraphs of textual material to describe a person.
One portrays him as a friendly, outgoing, sociable, happy person.
Another passage describes him as a dull, shy and introverted person, and the study found that the vast majority of people who only look at the first paragraph describe this person as a friendly, outgoing person; People who only look at the description in the latter paragraph have a silent perception of this person, introverted, withdrawn, and difficult to get along with.
However, when the two descriptions are brought together, and which one is placed first, most people conclude that the first description gives him the impression that the first paragraph has on him, and that the second paragraph has little effect.
Everyone, every time they do something, there is a "first time".
No matter how long you have known someone, the "first time" is only the only time, and that time can never be changed, no matter how much it changes later, the other party will always remember the "first time", which is the power of first impressions.
Xia Xun has now left a flawless and impeccable first impression on the big boss he is ready to take refuge in.
Next, as long as he maintains this friendly relationship with the Yan Wangfu, the Yan King said that if he does not make up his mind to rebel, he will not be able to stand on the side of the Yan King, of course, there are exceptions, if he can grasp the accurate time of the imperial court's action against the Yan Wang, then Xia Xun remembers that in history, it was Zhang Xin, who commanded the envoy in Beiping, who took the lead in reminding the Yan King that the imperial court was going to do something to him.
Zhang Xin has never had any great military exploits, and he has no special performance, but when Zhu Di was called the emperor and rewarded the meritorious heroes, Zhang Xin was crowned the Duke of the State because of this incident.
It seems that it is not bad to grab a national prince to be a pawn.
Xia Xun smiled even more happily To be continued:
