Chapter 447 Uninvited Zhu Gaoxu After Wang Ge arrived in Beiping, the matter of breaking up unhappily after meeting each other has long been spread in the small circle of honors and nobles in Beiping.Although what Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Ge said in that garden, and what happened, no one knew.But Zhu Gaoxu was originally going to pick up the wind for Wu'an Hou Wang Ge, and he was not alone, he had already notified many nobles, and everyone was waiting to go to the banquet together.But what I didn't expect was that the reception banquet was so over!
Zhu Gaoxu went back to the palace directly, and Wang Ge also left the mansion and didn't live in it at all.So the two of them were unhappy, and anyone could guess it.Since then, Zhu Gaoxu has not met Wang Ge again.In the Beiping Mansion Yamen, the political envoy Yamen, and even Yan Shanwei and other soldiers, the people who had already leaned on Zhu Gaoxu had been secretly explained, and if Wang Ge needed their cooperation for something, he would first delay and make false accusations, and then report to the palace.Although these people all have the imprint of the king of Gaoyang County, many people even expect Zhu Gaoxu to become the crown prince, and they themselves will rise with the tide.But they also know very well what kind of power and what kind of power they have under Zhu Di under the command of Zhu Di and in today's Ming Dynasty.When Wang Ge was ordered by the emperor to do things in Beiping, he was a snake or even a stumbling block?
What the result will be, whether Zhu Gaoxu can cover them, they may not be sure.Fortunately, Wang Ge did everything he did in Beiping by himself, and he didn't need any help from the local military and political departments at all.Originally, they were still a little worried that Zhu Gaochu failed to make a stumbling block for Wang Ge, and maybe he would continue to trouble Wang Ge in other aspects, if Wang Ge was still in Beiping, there might be a conflict between the two sooner or later - after all, no matter how you look at it, Zhu Gaochu is not an open-minded person.Judging from the previous situation, there should be a stiff quarrel between the two.Unexpectedly, on Zhu Gaoxu's birthday, Wang Ge was invited to a banquet.This is almost telling others that Zhu Gaoxu has bowed his head!
Zhu Gaoxu would actually give in to others?
This is simply unthinkable in the eyes of those nobles and officials in Peiping, who have always been familiar with Zhu Gaoxu's style.Generally speaking, the vassal king will not get too close to the local officials in the locality, although Zhu Gaoxu is only the county king now, but in his capacity, he is in Beiping, a place where he has lived for nearly 20 years, and his actual influence is no worse than that of the vassal king.Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu's birthday banquet, such as the political envoy of Beiping, the prefect of Beiping, and the commander of the capital, will not come in person, but will only send cronies and bring gifts to the scene.But because Wang Ge had the relationship of saving Zhu Gaoxu before, it was reasonable for him to be present in person.But what is even more unexpected is that on the day of the banquet, Wang Ge only sent a member of the East Factory to participate, and did not show up!
This is almost equivalent to directly rejecting Zhu Gaoxu's overtures and ignoring his concessions!
It was really surprising that Wang Ge would be so decisive.After all, many of these officials and nobles in Beiping had already followed Zhu Di before his martyrdom, and he knew that Wang Ge's consistent style of acting was relatively smooth and smart, and he should not have made such a tough and shameless decision.Zhu Gaochu is the emperor's favorite son, and he is very likely to replace Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince......., "You're afraid you're offending that prince this time, right?"
Aren't you afraid that he will turn back and take revenge on you?
”In Wang Ge's study, Bai Long said casually while helping Wang Ge review the information sent from all over the country.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu's birthday banquet should be underway, and Wang Ge was not present, and only sent a member of the East Factory to Daohe with gifts, which should have spread.Wang Ge said indifferently: "Whatever he wants, with his means, what can he do with me."
Besides, since he is willing to lower his profile to invite me, he must have received news from the capital, and he can take revenge on me. ”In fact, the reason why Wang Ge behaved so decisively, in addition to the fact that he originally wanted to draw a clear line with Zhu Gaoxu, there was another reason, that is, he had just received news from the capital not long ago - Zhu Di seemed to have been persuaded by the courtiers to make a prince.As for the candidate for the crown prince, it is still the eldest son Zhu Gaochi, not the second son Zhu Gaochu, who was far away in Peking at this time.Although Zhu Di did not like his eldest son Zhu Gaochi, he felt that he was fat and frail, and his personality was too gentle to be an emperor.But he loves Zhu Gaochi's eldest son Zhu Zhanji very much, and thinks that this grandson is smart and smart, and his appearance is also very good, so he still made up his mind to make Zhu Gaochi the prince.After all, the country cannot be left without a prince for a day, and the delay in the position of the crown prince is also easy to cause turmoil and suspicion.Wang Ge believes that the reason why Zhu Gaoxu put his posture so low, after he broke up unhappily on the day he first arrived in Beiping, he took the initiative to show favor again and sent an invitation, which should also be because he got the news from the capital and knew that the prince was about to be decided.In fact, for Zhu Gaochu, this matter is not a catastrophe or the end of the world, if Zhu Gaochi is made the crown prince, he will definitely be crowned prince, and he is still one of the most powerful royal families in the Ming Dynasty.It's just that Zhu Gaochi should have been thinking about replacing his brother before, and when he was in trouble, he also said similar things to him in private.Now that his father has ascended the throne, he has not set up a prince for a long time, nor has he been crowned king, which makes him more confident and feels that the throne has been stabilized.So this will be unwilling, and I want to struggle again.If it weren't for Zhu Gaoxu, but another prince, and Wang Ge really befriended him, he wouldn't have drawn a line with the prince and distanced himself from that prince just because the storage position had been decided."
Do you think he will follow the emperor's example and make trouble?"
Bai Long said with a smile."
He doesn't have that guts, of course, even if he has that guts, there won't be many people on the side looking for death with him, the emperor is not Jianwen."
Wang Ge shook his head and smiled.Bai Long pursed his lips and said regretfully: "If he really 'starts an incident', then he will give us a great credit, and if he is captured directly to the capital, you should at least be able to seal the title of the prince!"
”The two were talking and laughing, and suddenly a subordinate said in the courtyard outside: "Master Hou, the king of Gaoyang County is here......
Wang Ge was stunned, isn't it the birthday of this goods today?"
Isn't he presiding over a birthday feast?
How did you get here?"
Tell him I'm out ......"
Wang Ge was about to be reported that he was out on business and was not in the house, but Zhu Gaoxu's voice came from outside the courtyard."
Marquis Wu'an, this king has come uninvited."
Zhu Gaoxu has already broken into the courtyard!
