Chapter 443: Zhu Gaoxu's overtures


Chapter 443 Zhu Gaoxu's Gesture of Favor When the emperor's edict of commendation to Wang Ge was issued, Wang Ge was no longer in Qingzhou, but had arrived in Beiping.Zhu Di had plans to move the capital to Beiping, which was just after the Jingnan was over and when Zhu Di had just ascended the throne, he had already received a hint from Daoyan.It can even be said that he was the first person in the entire Ming Dynasty to know about this, and he knew it earlier than Zhu Di himself - after all, in later generations, the Yongle Dynasty moved its capital to Beiping, and the Ming Dynasty divided the north and south into Beijing, which is an established fact.In fact, the choice of Beiping as the imperial capital had already begun as early as the founding of Taizu.At that time, Taizu wanted to set the imperial capital in the north, and considered Beiping, Kaifeng and Fengyang.However, at that time, the world was initially decided, and the north was heavily affected by the war, and they were all relatively dilapidated, and they could not bear the heavy responsibility of the capital of a country, so they finally settled in Jinling.This time, Wang Ge was ordered to go to Beiping to assist Zhu Gaoxu, who had arrived in Beiping since last year to secretly prepare for the relocation of the capital, and to purge all kinds of underground forces in Beiping, including possible infiltration from the Mongol and Yuan Tatars.Although the reputation of the Dongji Factory for the public is far less than that of Jinyiwei, the people at the top of the officialdom all know that this new institution that only appeared in the Yongle Dynasty, as well as Wang Ge, the Marquis of Wu'an, is a more powerful existence than Jinyiwei, and it is also Zhu Di's most powerful "dagger".Therefore, as soon as Wang Ge arrived in Beiping, Zhu Gaoxu personally led people to greet the dust, and specially prepared a mansion covering a wide area for Wang Ge.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu took Wang Ge's hand and personally took him to walk around the garden of the mansion, introducing him to various scenes.King Yan was already in Beiping in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, and Zhu Gaoxu was born in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, so it can be said that his entire childhood was spent in Beiping, so he is naturally extremely familiar with Beiping.With his current power, it is also very easy to find a mansion for Wang Ge.However, from his eloquent introduction, he also spent a lot of thought on this mansion - this is also the message he deliberately wanted to pass on to Wang Ge.In fact, in the eyes of the heroes who followed Yan Wang Jingnan's uprising, Wang Ge should indeed be closer to Zhu Gaoxu, after all, when the three princes were trapped in the capital, Zhu Gaochu was rescued by Wang Ge himself.With this relationship, even if the two have some exchanges and contacts in private, they don't have to worry about being held by the official.Zhu Gaoxu also acquiesced, so he naturally regarded Wang Ge as his "own person", and after Wang Ge arrived in Beiping, he immediately showed favor and gave him a mansion gift.But in fact, Wang Ge himself had already prepared a residence in Beiping, so when he saw the mansion and a large number of servants given by Zhu Gaoxu, what he had been thinking about was how to refuse.It is foreseeable that he will stay in Beiping for a short time, and when Zhu Di moves the capital to Beiping in the future, it is even more likely that he will live in Beiping permanently.He certainly wouldn't have been living in a house carefully prepared by someone else, and would be served by someone else's servants.And more importantly, he doesn't want to have too deep a relationship with Zhu Gaoxu.A whole year has passed since the end of the Battle of Jingyan and Zhu Di's ascension to the throne as emperor, and now it is the first year of Yongle, but the crown prince has never been decided.Not only that, Zhu Gaoxu, who should have been crowned prince, still holds the title of Gaoyang County King in the last years of Hongwu.It stands to reason that this should be an easy thing to decide, Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son, who has been the son of King Yan for many years, although he has been staying in Beiping during the Jingjing period, he has not followed the army on the front line, and has made too many achievements, but he is responsible for logistics and the defense of Beiping, and he has always done it in an orderly manner, without any omissions, and has won the love of the military and the people of Beiping.But those who know Zhu Di know very well that compared to Zhu Gaochi, who was obese and began to wheezing after walking two steps, Zhu Di always preferred Zhu Gaochu, who was more like him in appearance and personality when he was still the king of Yan.Wang Ge knows, or many people know, that Zhu Di has been hesitating, whether to abolish the elder and the young, or whether to appoint Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince.Perhaps in the eyes of some, this is a great opportunity to invest in Zhu Gaoxu.But Wang Ge didn't think so, firstly, he knew very well that Zhu Gaochi would be the emperor in the future, and from a historical point of view, Zhu Gaochi would obviously have a greater chance of winning.The second is that he is now a hero of the Jingnan, and even to a certain extent, it is clear in the hearts of Zhu Di and Daoyan that he is the first meritorious person of the Jingnan, and there is no need to take any more risks to win a dragon gong.The third is ......

He actually hates Zhu Gaoxu's personality very much, this guy may be a little similar to Zhu Di in terms of martial arts and appearance and figure, but in terms of city government and wisdom, it is very different.At least in Wang Ge's opinion, this is not a person who can achieve great things, and if he participates in winning the heir in the future, it is estimated that the end will not be too good.Although Zhu Gaochi looks a little obese and frail, he is at least generous and cautious, and when it is time to stand up, he has not dropped the chain, and it is not a big problem to be a master of success."

The Cheng girl who rescued the king with you in Jingshi and Wu'anhou is okay now?"

When introducing the scenery in the garden to Wang Ge, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly changed the topic and mentioned Cheng Haoyan.Wang Ge couldn't help pouting in his heart, this is also one of the points he hates Zhu Gaoxu, this thing seems to have been in his mind since he first saw Cheng Haoyan, whether it was during the Battle of Jingyan or after Jingyan, every time he saw him, he had to ask Cheng Haoyan.Wang Ge knows very well that Zhu Gaoxu has always had a reputation for being lustful, although when he was in Beiping, Zhu Di was relatively tight, and he couldn't act as recklessly as the sons of other vassal kings, but the kidnapping of the women of good families was not undone.After being amazed by Cheng Haoyan's sassy and heroic appearance, he was deeply impressed, and he always wanted to use various excuses to take Cheng Haoyan to his side."

This king's inner house is in need of a female master with strong martial arts to help take care of it, Miss Cheng's kung fu is so good, she is an excellent candidate, I don't know if Wu Anhou can cut his love?"

Wang Ge said expressionlessly: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have said before that Miss Cheng is just a friend that her subordinates have made in the rivers and lakes, and she does not work for her subordinates, so her subordinates can't decide where she wants to go." ”"That'......

It's better for Wu Anhou to introduce this king, this king believes that he can impress Miss Cheng with sincerity. ”Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile."

My subordinates don't know where Miss Cheng is now, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the prince.""

Oh?

But this king heard that Miss Cheng has been living in Qingzhou for the past few years?

”"I don't know who the prince listened to?"
