Regarding the "bad behavior" of the little county lord Ming'er who inexplicably came to his house in the evening and teased his uncle, Xia Xun's judgment was: I took the wrong medicine.
But what kind of medicine this medicine is, it is difficult to determine.
Of course, he wouldn't think that Xu Ming'er was impulsive.
Since rejecting her and deliberately distancing himself from her, the little princess's attitude towards him has always been gloomy and resentful.
Maybe her special living environment and thousands of pampered growth experiences will give her the courage to be different from most ordinary girls in this era, but if she takes the initiative to kiss a man, Xia Xun believes that unless there is something very important to stimulate, she can't do it.
Even with Ziqi's heartiness, thank you's cunning, and Su Ying's toughness, they have never taken the initiative to do such a thing.
Therefore, Xia Xun immediately thought of the Xu family's arrangement for her to marry, so she had to tearfully kiss the bloody plot of not saying goodbye to her sweetheart, but looking at her happy appearance, it doesn't seem like such a tragedy, is it not a tragedy, can it be a comedy, and she can have any happy events, so that she is so forgetful Xia Xun gave full play to his imagination, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't think of it, so he put this matter aside and concentrated on thinking about the intention of Zhu Gaoxu's invitation.
The invitation of the second prince, Zhu Gaoxu, of course he knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.
Not to mention that he has a team of secret agents in his hands, and he can hear a lot of unknown news, even if he is a bare-bones prince, he can think of this, because the rumor of the competition for succession has already spread in Jinling.
Recently, Zhu Gaochu has appeared in a high-profile manner, and he has frequently contacted the princes and civil and military officials, which is a signal, and it is obvious that this time he has a separate banquet for the courtiers, that is, Zhu Gaochu is going to have a formal showdown after finding out the bottom of it.
So whether you go or not, what kind of position should you show?
According to the history books, Zhu Gaoxu is a violent prince, and at the same time a stupid prince, in the process of competing for succession, he is a funny political clown from beginning to end. witnessed the so-called "bloody purge that shook the past and the present" after Zhu Di ascended the throne, no matter compared to Xia Xun, who was just like this in the previous and later dynasties, he already knew very well what the so-called history books were, and from his understanding of Zhu Gaoxu, he knew that it was impossible to make a faithful evaluation of Zhu Gaochu based on that.
Zhu Gaoxu's military talent is beyond doubt, at the beginning of the Jingjing, he was still a 14-year-old boy, a 14-year-old boy, he was able to lead an army alone, fought bloody battles, and saved Zhu Di several times at critical moments, this is not only bravery, but also not luck, he not only has bravery, but also has a calm and keen judgment of fighters, and his military command talent is very outstanding.
As for the fact that after Zhu Gaoxu's failure in the struggle for succession, Zhu Zhanji locked up this uncle but did not kill him, and then visited him with great concern, so His Royal Highness the King of Han, who was all over the battlefield and killed in hundreds of thousands of troops, carried out retaliatory measures very funny and retarded, stretched out his leg and tripped his nephew, the nephew was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.
The Emperor went to visit him, and tried to go from him in such a hurry that he stumbled If you want to kill someone, you have to give yourself a valid reason, that's all.
Anyway, no daring reader would pick on the emperor's bug.
The so-called historian is not influenced by the emperor, and writes history according to the truth, starting from the Tang Dynasty at the latest, is the biggest person who writes history.
Zhu Gaochu is not an idiot, when he was competing for succession, he had many opportunities to almost defeat Zhu Gaochi, not only because Zhu Di was among the eldest and second sons, and he admired this second son who was very much like himself, not just because he had the support of the generals, he also personally had quite clever political wisdom, and there were many accidental factors in his failure.
Even after he failed in the struggle for succession, Zhu Gaochi's position as crown prince has been unstable, and during that period, many important ministers of the court who supported Zhu Gaochi were removed by Zhu Gaochi, but Zhu Gaochi could not protect them.
Therefore, for Xia Xun, it is not a question of whether he is on the wrong team, but whether he will be able to die if he is on the right team, which is also a problem.
It's difficult to stay out of the matter, Zhu Gaoxu has already begun to force him to express his position, if you want to be in it, take care of the world at the same time, but also protect yourself, then how to choose His original experience was no longer 100% reliable, and history had already made small deviations that could make the future a thousand miles wrong.
Xia Xun didn't know if the original winner would still win, and whether the original loser would still lose.
If Zhu Gaochu becomes the emperor, he may not be a faint monarch, Zhu Gaochi has only been an emperor for one year, Zhu Zhanji has only been an emperor for ten years, the life span of the father and son is relatively short, Zhu Gaochu's surname is a cool temper Xiao Nai's father, and his health is also very good, if he can be the emperor and continue a relatively long reign of Qingming, maybe Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji's father and son are also not faint monarchs, then it is the rule of Renxuan, should replace what has been proven with something that cannot be proven, this kind of adventure, he can't afford the corresponding consequences.
Moreover, the relationship between the three princes and him is good, no matter who becomes the emperor, it will not be bad for him, if he insists on making a choice, the friendship with other princes will be gone, is it worth it Xia Xun was so distressed that when he had dinner, he still looked like he was not giving up, and all kinds of thoughts came to him, and he gave up one by one after repeated consideration.
The feeling of being involuntary in the rivers and lakes has now been experienced by him.
"Xianggong" Ziqi gave Xia Xun a piece of fish in his plate, and when he saw that he was bored and only cared about pulling rice into his mouth, he couldn't help but call him softly.
Xia Xun didn't realize it, and Ziqi was curious, so he glanced at thank you.
Xie pouted and said, "Who knows what happened to him today, like a lost soul." ” Xiao Di interjected: "Tonight, the little county lord of Zhongshan Wangfu came, and then the young master became like this. ” Ziqi said curiously: "What did the county lord say?"
Xie smiled and said: "That's not it, it seems that since I received the invitation from the second prince, the prime minister has been worried."
Eat, his business.
We can't get involved. ” Xia Xun was still thinking: "At present, it seems that the emperor's heart belongs to the second prince, if it weren't for the emperor's thoughts, he would not let Yi Chu's rumors spread in Beijing."
Today, the emperor is in his prime, how can there be an emperor for one or two decades, the eldest prince is not in good health, and the emperor is only afraid that his son will have to walk ahead of him, but this concern, the prince can not be cautious.
What's more, during the four years of Jingnan, Zhu Gaochu was under the emperor's nose and saved his surname several times, and emotionally, he must have preferred Zhu Gaochu more.
The emperor let the rumors run rampant, I am afraid that he just wants to see the minds of the courtiers, after all, whether the throne can be held firmly depends on whether the courtiers support it or not.
Among the courtiers, the generals must support Zhu Gaoxu, among the ministers, the cabinet chief assistant Xie Jin, I have a great deal of confidence in influencing his decision, I can influence at least half of the six ministries, if I am willing to stand on Zhu Gaoxu's side clearly, Zhu Gaoxu's weak situation among the ministers can be defeated, in this way, there are too many uncertain things, and the future will become a complete black for me.
Besides, although Zhu Gaochi has a benevolent surname, he is not stupid at all, he can continue to supply the emperor's more than 100,000 troops with only Beiping, Yongping, and Zhending.
In terms of the city government, he is more than one and a half points higher than Zhu Gaoxu, and he can succeed in the situation that the Yongle Emperor is inclined to Zhu Gaoxu, and it is not just by luck or that the civil officials come up with a few ideas.
By the way, Master Daoyan seems to be on his side, don't look at Daoyan who is now only in charge of the monk and the Lusi, and he doesn't seem to care about the government at all, but this monk's status in the emperor's heart, so calculated, Zhu Gaoxu is not a persimmon that is easy to pinch. ” "Xianggong, Xianggong" In the end, he couldn't even stand the thank you who advocated "ignore him", Xia Xun was about to strip off a bowl of dry rice, and he didn't eat a bite of food.
Xia Xun said blankly: "Ah, what's the matter?"
Ziqi pouted and said: "Where did we offend Xianggong, you don't pay attention to the vegetables, and you don't pay attention to the words."
Xia Xun said with deep emotion: "Alas, I'm not for you, for our family, it's not easy for this official to be an official."
At this time, Steward Xiao crept in again, holding another invitation card in his hand.
Xia Xun looked at the invitation, and reflexively became nervous: "Who sent this?"
Steward Xiao stood up and said respectfully: "Master, this is an invitation from the Duke of Dingguo, inviting you to the banquet tomorrow night." ” Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Xu Jingchang, then there is no problem." ” The Qiang flute, the huqin, the pipa, and the drums echoed in the hall with exotic joyful songs, and the two heads were dressed in shiny jewelry, masked with tulle, revealing only a pair of charming, deeply sunken eyes, flared trousers, narrow sleeves, and a piece of snowy skin around the waist were dancing.
Stilts, flicking fingers, shaking the head, making eyes, every move, all fascinating, gestures, all like Dunhuang flying sky.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the top, looking at their graceful dancing with a smile, on his side, there were several cases, and Ji Gang sat behind the case, and there were sumptuous wines and meat, as well as seasonal melons and fruits, but both of them seemed to be attracted by this exotic song and dance, and their eyes only moved with the beauty, and they did not move.
I don't know how long this song danced, the music stopped abruptly, and the two beauties stepped forward to bow down to Zhu Gaoxu, and a pair of big eyes that could speak raised and closed, and sent an unintentional, but very provocative charm to his heart.
This beauty is obviously specially trained, and it is not only the big charming eyes that can speak, but also the little waist that shows them, and the fragrant navel with the surname seems to be able to speak.
Although the two girls were masked, but the tulle was attached to their faces, they could clearly see the high bridge of their noses, and the ruddy mouths, their hair was golden, and their eyes were blue as the sea, and they were obviously a pair of bearded women.
Because of the hard singing and dancing, the two girls have sweated their foreheads, and the cicada temples are slightly wet, which makes it even more attractive.
Ji Gang clapped a few times, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand lightly, and the two girls bowed down and retreated.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled at Ji Gang and said: "This is the beauty of the turtle given to this king by Song Sheng, the general of Pingqiang, and it was just sent today. ” Song Sheng's father and brother are all generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to raise troops, officials to marshals, Song Sheng was ordered to guard Liangzhou in the twelfth year of Hongwu, and since then he has taken root in Xiliang, and his prestige has been famous in the Western Regions, and his achievements have been outstanding.
This time Yongle ascended the throne, Song Sheng entered the court to pay homage, Yongle Longyan Dayue, and promoted him from the general army of Xiliang to the general of Pingqiang.
Judging from his dedication to the beauty of the turtle and Zhu Gaoxu, it is obvious that he is more optimistic about Zhu Gaoxu.
Ji Gang arched his hand and smiled: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness, General Song is far away in the Western Regions, and he also knows His Highness's prestige, and His Highness's name of bravery has really spread all over the world." ” Ji Gang didn't congratulate him on getting a pair of beauties, but congratulated him on getting the support of the generals, this sycophant is obviously more Zhu Gaoxu's appetite, Zhu Gaochu smiled and nodded, and his expression was not without pride.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and suddenly said, "The invitation, this king has sent it out."
Obviously, Ji Gang was involved in Zhu Gaoxu's conspiracy, and he actually understood such a sentence without a beginning or an end.
Ji Gang said happily: "Great, if Your Highness wants to compete for the heir, you have to clearly show your attitude, if it is ambiguous and ambiguous, who of those officials is willing to entrust his family name to His Highness Now that the discussion of the prince in Beijing is very loud, it is time for His Highness to express his mind in time."
Zhu Gaoxu bowed his head and said: "Well, the prince of Qi Guoqiufu, this king has prepared a Damascus iron knife for him that sharpens iron like clay; Wang Ning is there, this king has prepared a picture of Song Huizong's pond in late autumn for him, and the title deed of Fuyang Hou Li Rang, are you ready?"
Ji Gang said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, the title deed of two thousand acres of good land in Huzhou has been brought by the minister." ” Zhu Gaoxu nodded, frowned slightly and said: "Only this Yang Xu, although this king has known him for a long time, he is not very familiar with him, what preferences he has, this king doesn't know anything, you and he are old friends, and you have worked under him, you know what Yang Xu likes."
"Yang Xu" Ji Gang hesitated, thought for a while, recalled all the things since he met Xia Xun, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "Ah Chen remembered, this Yang Xu has nothing else to do, only women, which is one of his weaknesses."
"Oh" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up: "Yang Xu is lustful" "That's right" Ji Gang remembered all the things since he met Xia Xun, and said categorically: "Yang Xu is an excellent woman. ” Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "I'm afraid he doesn't have any hobbies, and if he has something to like, then the king will do what he likes, hehe" Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid that he can't look down on vulgar fans, since he wants to send them, he will send them to the peerless beauty, and those two orchids are not bad, so the king will give them to him."
Ji Gang said in surprise: "These two beauties are one in ten thousand stunners, Your Highness will give them away."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly and said: "Compared to thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, what is a woman?"
He stood up slowly, clenched his hands into fists, and said in a loud voice: "In this world, this king helped his father to fight down, and this king must fight, fight, pass, come."
