Chapter 547: Counting Birds with One Stone


Xia Xun followed Li Jinglong's housekeeper to the Cao Guo Mansion, only to see two people from brocade guards standing at the door, they did not prevent the people of the Cao Guo Mansion from entering and leaving, but a pair of snake-like cold eyes would coldly look at everyone who came in and out, making people involuntarily feel chills in their hearts.

Further inside, I saw that there were Jinyi guards guarding the gates, and now Li Zengzhi was on trial, as his brother, Li Jinglong was also under control now.

Originally, Xia Xun thought that Li Jinglong's so-called hunger strike was a trick, but now it seems to be true, if he eats secretly, or someone secretly sends him some food, he is afraid that he will not be able to hide the eyes and ears of these brocade guards.

When I arrived at Li Jinglong's residence, I had already received the news inside, and as soon as I entered the courtyard, several women came out, and when they saw Xia Xun, they knelt on the ground, crying and begging him for help.

Now Xia Xun is a celebrity in front of the emperor, if he is willing to come forward, his master's life will naturally be saved.

These women are Li Jinglong's wife and a few concubines, and there is a turbidity in them, and they are also crying with pear blossoms and rain at the moment, so pitiful.

The woman who was about thirty years old and dignified was Li Jinglong's wife, and she couldn't care about her identity at the moment, so she knelt in front of Xia Xun and kowtowed repeatedly.

Xia Xun hurriedly gave a handful of hands and said, "Madame, don't do this, please get up quickly." ” Asked Mrs.

Li to get up, and asked several of Li Jinglong's concubines to get up, and asked, "Cao Guogong is here now."

Mrs.

Li cried and said: "In the room, the master said that he was not strict with his brother, violated the law of the country, and asked for the crime of hunger strike, and now it has been ten days. ” Xia Xun looked up and saw that there were still two people in brocade clothes standing at the door, Xia Xun waved his hand and said to Mrs.

Li: "Madam and all the ladies and daughters, please stay away, I will go to see Cao Guogong." ” "Okay, thank you, thank you."

Mrs.

Li was the young lady of a big family, although she was at a loss because of her husband's hunger strike, at this time the person had already been invited, but she was still calm, and she hurriedly thanked her, and led a group of female dependents to withdraw from the courtyard.

Xia Xun walked forward alone, and when he arrived at the door, he looked at the two brocade-clothed guards, the two of them actually recognized him, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The villain has seen Grandpa Guo." ” Xia Xun frowned slightly, and asked, "Does the emperor have a will not allow Cao Guogong to eat?"

The corners of the two guards' mouths twitched, and they couldn't help but smile: "Returning to China, the hunger strike, it was Cao Guogong's own opinion, and the emperor did not make such a will." ” Xia Xun was stunned, nodded and said, "Can I go in and see him?"

The two guards said: "On the order of Lord Ji, before the facts of the case are known, we just control the Cao Guogong Mansion and do not allow Cao Guogong to leave the mansion without permission.

The two guards flashed left and right, and Xia Xun pushed open the door and walked in.

The main hall was empty, Xia Xun looked left and right, stepped into the room on the right, and there were tables and chairs painting screens in the room, and then bypassed the screen, it was a large frame bed with carved curtains of Huanghuali, Li Jinglong was wearing a moon-white robe, lying straight on the bed, as if he had died of exhaustion, Xia Xun was startled, walked over and picked up the curtain, and looked at it carefully.

Li Jinglong's eyes were closed, his chest rose and fell from time to time, and he didn't seem to be out of breath, Xia Xun put his mind at ease, sat down on the edge of the bed, and called softly: "Cao Guogong, Cao Guogong" Li Jinglong heard the shout, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly struggled to sit up, grabbed Xia Xun's arm, and tears welled up: "Auxiliary Guogong, Fuguo Gong save his life, although it is said that Jinglong has a lot in the past, but since the end of Jianwen, Jinglong is willing to help His Majesty today, and he has also provided a lot of military intelligence secrets for you in Jinling City, and I also ask Fuguo Gong to read this little incense, save my life."

When Xia Xun was trapped in Jinan City by King Yan's soldiers, he had also seen many people who were starving to death, starving for ten days without water and rice, and he could speak so coherently unprecedentedly, not to mention, this Li Jinglong's vitality is really strong enough, probably because he usually eats too many good things, and his foundation is relatively solid, but it can be seen that his face is gray, and the hand holding Xia Xun is also soft and cold, and he is indeed weak and weak.

It is said that the person who has gone on hunger strike for the longest time to date is the Austrian Mihavik.

In April 1979, he was imprisoned in the political axe building by the Austrian police because of a traffic accident, but the police forgot about it in a blink of an eye, so that he starved for 18 days in prison without water, and was found dying.

If Xia Xun doesn't come today, I don't know if Li Jinglong can break Mihavic's world record.

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Cao Guogong, don't worry, don't worry, the emperor didn't make you go on a hunger strike, what are you doing?"

Li Jinglong didn't care about losing face, and said miserably: "Fuguo Gong, don't tell lies in front of real people, you also know, what kind of thing is my brother, who will look for him and arrest him, it is for me."

The winged phoenix is not as good as a chicken, I, the prince of the country, is now in the eyes of the emperor, but I am not as important as him, the commander of the three grades, can I not be afraid?"

Li Jinglong sighed faintly, and snorted: "I thought that I would take the initiative to go on a hunger strike and ask for guilt, but the emperor knew about it, maybe he would let me go as soon as his heart softened, who knew that it would be self-defeating."

Xia Xun looked at his unkempt appearance, he said that he had never eaten, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help asking: "Now that the weather is hot, you don't eat for ten days, or you can still live, and you don't drink water for ten days, you have survived."

Li Jinglong said shyly: "On such a hot day, if you don't drink water, where can you do it, I will drink all the water in this house and outside the house, all the vases."

Xia Xun asked, "Are you hungry now?"

Li Jinglong shook his head: "I don't feel it, it's cold, I don't have the strength" Xia Xun felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

Li Jinglong said: "I don't know what happened to the emperor, recently there have been a succession of military generals who have been unlucky, Mei Yuma died, Hu Yuma was imprisoned, Changxing Hou, Licheng Hou, Guogong, I, Li Jinglong, am loyal to the current emperor, and I have no two hearts, what is implicating me, I really don't understand death, if the auxiliary Guogong refuses to save me, I Li Jinglong is really going to die, Guogong" Li Jinglong said, and was about to kneel on the ground.

Xia Xun said in his heart: "It's not because you have close contacts with those horses that you are suspicious.

But he couldn't say this, Xia Xun pressed his body, frowned, and said: "You don't have to ask anything, if you want me to save you, it's not difficult, but if you want to save yourself, it's not difficult."

Li Jinglong's spirits perked up, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Guogong, how can I save myself?"

Xia Xun said: "Now your younger brother Li Zengzhi has been arrested, but hasn't the emperor asked you about your sin, what kind of food do you have to eat, I think you are on a hunger strike, I'm afraid Ji Gang didn't report to the emperor at all, if you really die, how can you not go on a hunger strike if you die of a violent illness, eat something, nourish your spirit, tomorrow is the big court meeting, you put on court clothes and go to the court, you just need it" Xia Xun said to him in a low voice, and Li Jinglong was stunned: "If this is really the case, I will be able to escape."

Xia Xun smiled slightly and said, "If Brother Li believes me, he will do what I say."

"Okay, good" Li Jinglong trembled and fell to the ground, and was about to kneel down for Xia Xun: "The grace of the auxiliary prince to save his life, he will not forget that as long as Jinglong has to get rid of this difficulty, in the future, but there will be a life, Li Jinglong will never shirk, if he violates this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed."

How could Xia Xun really let him kneel, hurriedly picked him up, and said: "Guogong must not make this big gift, lie down quickly, and eat something quickly is serious." ” When Li Jinglong heard this, his stomach and intestines, which had already stopped being active for a long time, became peristalsis, and he was really a little hungry, he was trembling and was about to call someone, Xia Xun chuckled and instructed: "By the way, you have been on a hunger strike for a long time, don't eat too much for a while, first ask Mrs. to cook some gruel, and then drink a cup of ginseng soup to make up for it, and wait for you to slow down a little before you can eat more, otherwise you will be a dignified Ming Guogong, eat to death, and it will be difficult for you to go down in history."

Xia Xun's idea to Li Jinglong was to write to the emperor and ask for the crown prince.

Qiu Fu went north in gloom and left the center of power.

But Xia Xun is now like Zhongtian, and he has made a "brother-in-law" with the emperor, many neutral courtiers feel that this is a signal, and the emperor looks at the signal of the great prince Zhu Gaochi again.

And Xu Huizu, Geng Bingwen, Mei Yin and others fell from power, implicated a large number of military generals, Zhu Gaochi's team is mainly people from the civilian official group, his strength in the military generals and military generals is only a handful, so far, it is only Xia Xun, Xu Jingchang, Chen Xuan and a few other people, among these people, Xia Xun and Xu Jingchang Lei can't move, the current status is as stable as a rock, Chen Xuan is also like a fish in water in eastern Zhejiang, and most of the officials involved have intersections with Zhu Gaochi's faction.

Even if it is an official who is not implicated, at this outlet, he does not dare to show his head and do more, what better opportunity is there than at this time to launch the establishment of the heir again Don't look at Li Jinglong's unlucky surname, but Cao Guogong was the second only force in the Ming Dynasty to the Zhongshan Palace, but this time the opponent is the emperor, so it will be so miserable, pull him over, let him act as the vanguard of the heir, it will be a big help.

Now Zhu Gaoxu's vitality is greatly damaged, and self-protection is particularly insufficient, once the courtiers involve Liyan, they dare not strike wantonly, Li Zengzhi is now in the hands of Jinyiwei, and Ji Gang is actually Zhu Gaochi's person, once Li Jinglong becomes the vanguard of the crown prince, Ji Gangbao is too late to protect him, will he deal with him It can be said that Xia Xun only pushed the hand, not only saved Li Jinglong, but also caused considerable changes in all aspects.

Of course, Xia Xun dared to make the judgment that as long as Li Jinglong took the initiative to act as the vanguard of the Prince, he would definitely be safe and sound, and the main reason was the attitude of Emperor Yongle.

The outbreak of the Xu Huizu and Geng Bingwen cases has made Zhu Di alert to the dangers of competing for the crown: there are too many ill-intentioned people, and the crown prince will not decide for a long time, which will become a major factor in the instability of the imperial court, but from this point of view, Zhu Di cannot allow the competition to continue.

What's more, Zhu Gaoxu's various performances made Zhu Di very disappointed, and now Zhu Xiaopang should switch from defense to counterattack When Xia Xun left Cao Guogong's mansion, he was smiling and relaxed, and with Cao Guogong, a heavyweight, to be the pioneer, he could get married, marry the bride, spend a honeymoon together, and live with both sides.

Family affairs and state affairs have to be taken into account, "nine years of water control, three times through the door without entering, the lady gave him a big fat boy" The kind of model worker, he doesn't want to be, hehe To be continued:
