Chapter 17
Heaven and man are pure and peaceful
At night, when the moon is bright during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I don’t know why, but the prison guards were so kind and gave each person a piece of inferior mooncake. What’s interesting is that at this time, no matter whether they were dignitaries who had never looked down on this kind of mooncake in the past, or poor people who rarely had the opportunity to eat mooncakes,
Most of them are reluctant to eat.
Even if there is food, he still chews it slowly and savors it with the lapel of his clothes, as if this is the rest of his life.
Obviously, many prisoners realize that they will not be able to eat mooncakes for the next Mid-Autumn Festival. This fear of death overwhelms the longing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Of course, not everyone eats this kind of cheap mooncakes, at least not the powerful warriors.
Jiang Xinghuo watched helplessly as the bearded Gao Yu used a golden bean that shone brightly under the moonlight to bribe the jailer and let him in.
"It's such a beautiful moonlight, why don't you sleep?"
Zhu Gaoxu did not answer. He was stroking his beard, holding a piece of moon cake in his hand, and started chanting poems to the moon. He was obviously in a very good mood.
The third brother Zhu Gaosui came to visit him with orders from his father, Emperor Zhu Di, and even asked for his opinion on reducing the vassal status.
Is Mr. Jiang the legendary immortal who saw the past of "Zhu Gaoxu" from the heavenly book?
After eating the mooncakes, Jiang Xinghuo lay down on the straw with his head raised. He didn't have the habit of resolving family disputes for others, so he just listened quietly.
Jiang Xinghuo was not present, how could he know?!
Zhu Gaoxu said cautiously: "Mr. Jiang, what kind of statement is this? I have never heard of it."
Coupled with the previous magical actions, all these questions almost point to the same answer!
He suddenly recalled the forgotten next line of the poem from his memory.
"have witnessed."
Maybe the other party only needs an audience.
It is precisely because of this that no more than ten people in the entire Ming Dynasty know about this matter.
"Gao Yu." Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the bearded man sympathetically and said: "You are somewhat similar to the second son of Emperor Yongle. It's okay. He didn't even get to eat the pie of being an emperor. You don't feel inferior to him.
Much smaller?”
Jiang Xinghuo's understatement made Zhu Gaoxu choke on the mooncake he stuffed into his mouth.
Zhu Gaoxu directly wrote Jiang Xinghuo's strategy into the memorial. He is now waiting for his father to praise him at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Of course, he is in a good mood.
Jiang Xinghuo roughly recalled: "In the battle on the river, Zhu Di was defeated. At the critical moment, his second son led the cavalry. Zhu Di stroked his back and said, 'The prince is very sick, so you should try your best.'" He drew an unclear big picture.
cake."
Jiang Xinghuo was still lying on the straw pile, and even played the beat along with it.
Hearing this, Jiang Xinghuo turned over from the straw pile, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said mysteriously: "I promised others that I would not tell others about the future. Can you do it like me?
?”
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the moon outside the sky window of his cell, and a terrifying thought came to his mind.
However, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shuddered, and he suddenly realized an important problem.
"The old man told me that I was not a good scholar, so he sent me to learn martial arts. The noble family had many veterans who came out of the battlefield when Hongwu founded the country. They all said that I was born to be a general.
"
And the other party who knows everything is so calm and stable!
I even yearn for death every day!
Zhu Gaoxu was very sure that at that time, he protected Zhu Di and ran to a hillside in embarrassment before stopping. Except for the two of them, there were only a few Zhu Di's soldiers and no one else.
Shock!
have witnessed?!
The Immortal hangs his feet. The bright night has faded. Heaven and humans are clear and peaceful.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Jiang Xinghuo, who was lying with the word "big" on the straw pile with his feet hanging naturally on the edge, with some disbelief.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's heart tightened, and he almost thought Jiang Xinghuo had seen through his identity.
After coming to this conclusion, Zhu Gaoxu suppressed the shock and fear in his heart. He swallowed and asked tentatively.
"Your father is also doing good for you." Jiang Xinghuo bit off a piece of mooncake and ate it slowly.
"But I still hate him!" Zhu Gaoxu said while chewing a piece of mooncake through gritted teeth.
"That's it." Zhu Gaoxu laughed at himself when he heard the idea of painting cakes, "It's quite interesting. I wonder where Mr. Jiang heard about it?"
"On Mid-Autumn Festival, let me stay alone in the prison."
"Pooh!"
Hearing these words, Zhu Gaoxu was angry as usual at first, then he was relieved and sighed dejectedly.
Zhu Gaoxu replied simply, and at the same time, he also stuffed the moon cake into his mouth without even leaving any crumbs.
"At that time, the old man who studied wanted to hire the best gentleman for me."
Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Jiang Xinghuo added: "I read it in a book."
Seeing that Jiang Xinghuo seemed to just say it casually, Zhu Gaoxu felt relieved.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, death is approaching.
Moreover, according to Ji Gang's investigation and Jiang Xinghuo's self-report, in the last year of Jingnan, Jiang Xinghuo spent every day on the painting boat on the Qinhuai River with the good girls, how could he teleport to a battlefield hundreds of miles away to watch
arrive?
"Mr. Jiang originally served in the Yan Army?"
“When I was a kid, I memorized these few sentences when I was studying, and the rest have long been forgotten.”
"Then what?" Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but ask.
"The Immortal hangs his legs, and the osmanthus tree is no longer lumpy. The white rabbit pounded the medicine, and asked who he wanted to eat with?"
The toad has eroded its round shadow, and the bright night has faded away. When Yi fell into the sky, nine crows fell, and the heavens and humans were clear and peaceful."
"Then Mr. Jiang thinks that the second son of Emperor Yongle can become emperor in the future?"
But there was no content.
How did Jiang Xinghuo know that his father, Zhu Di, had made a promise to him that "the prince will be very ill"?
Zhu Gaoxu squatted beside the straw pile and was still angry: "During the Jingnan period, the old man told me that my eldest brother wanted to take care of the family business, so he asked me to lead the troops to fight for his life. He also promised me to inherit his title in the future. Now I am reduced to
He didn't even take a look at the prison!"
"It's like I'm a lost dog on the road!"
"I couldn't study, so the old man beat me with a whip like a dog in front of many people. I was stubborn at that time, and the more I was beaten, the less I wanted to study, and then I stopped thinking about it. Now that I think about it, the old man
Maybe it’s really good for me.”
After chewing twice and swallowing it whole, Zhu Gaoxu wiped his mouth and said: "But I have never liked learning since I was a child, and the nonsense those teachers said made me very dizzy. If I could have met Mr. Jiang as a child who was so willing to reason,
Maybe I still have some knowledge now."
His eyes were as wide as bells.
"When I was young, I didn't know the moon. I thought it was a white jade plate. I also doubted that the mirror on the Yao table was flying in the blue clouds."
The reason why Zhu Di dared to turn his back on this incident was that except for the two of him, only a few personal guards around him heard it, and there were no significant witnesses.
Where did Jiang Xinghuo see it???
"Of course I can."
Zhu Gaoxu was extremely excited, waiting for Jiang Xinghuo's answer, and even his beard trembled slightly.
"Of course I can too."
Jiang Xinghuo turned over again, leaving Zhu Gaoxu in a daze.
