The Zhou Palace is packing bags for Prince Zhou Gao Xuanmu. Empress Hong doesn't know what the emperor is thinking. If he says he will send Gao Xuance to the battle, that's very possible. After all, Gao Xuance is a martial arts expert and can take the enemy's head among thousands of people.

Even when the Donghu people shot arrows at him, he could catch them with his mouth, but the King of Zhou...

He was OK at other things, but even Queen Hong found him unreliable when it came to leading troops in battle.

Gao Xuanmu shook his head when Queen Hong asked him about this. "I don't know about this matter, but since my father has sent me to lead the army in his place, I should obey."

If the king wants his subject to die, the subject has to die. They are father and son, and even more so king and subject.

Now that Prince Chen is away, he is the only one who can go. As for the Fourth Prince, although his leg looks healed, he was lame before. At the same time, he has a low status. Although his father-in-law is the Prince of Zhennan, that is in Yunnan, so it will not be of much use.

Therefore, although the King of Zhou felt uneasy when he first heard the news, he had a famous general there after all. Since he didn't know how to do it, he didn't give orders blindly, but just made arrangements. If he won the battle, it would be a military achievement.

When Gao Xuance conquered the Donghu, although he had some abilities, he also had to rely on King Jinyang.

Concubine Gan's brother was a rare talent for both civil and military affairs, and this time he was also sent to the front line to be his helper. It happened that King Zhou felt that Concubine Gan was gentle and affectionate, although she was a little slender, and he visited her frequently.

This time was no exception. Before he went to war, he stayed overnight in Concubine Gan's room, and the two of them made love almost the entire night.

When Xu Qingrong heard someone asking for water, she was so angry that she couldn't even vent her anger. She said to her confidant, "Look, this is a man. I was so worried about her yesterday."

"Don't worry, the emperor wants to send our prince out to win military merit. Prince Chen has made great military achievements, and our prince has always been said to be inferior to Prince Chen. If our prince wins the battle against Donghu this time, let's see what others will say about him in the future. If Prince Zhou is well, won't you be well too?" Madam Hu was Xu Qingrong's wet nurse. She had watched her grow up since she was a child, so she didn't want to see her suffer and changed the subject.

Xu Qingrong still hoped that the King of Zhou would win, but she also complained: "Why bother with so much trouble? If our prince was the crown prince, he would naturally have people running errands for him. A son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall. I really don't know what the emperor is thinking. He sent the Prince of Chen to take his place in meditation and sent our prince to fight outside. It's really irrelevant..."

However, if the prince gains military merit and is crowned as the Crown Prince, then the title of Prince of Chen will be out of the question, because no matter how noble the Prince of Chen is, he cannot be as noble as the Crown Prince.

It is said that Gao Xuance was enthroned on behalf of Emperor Jianzhang and was received by officials along the way. Gao Xuance was a dignified and dignified person with a dignified bearing, intelligent and handsome. He strictly disciplined his subordinates and did not allow them to accept bribes.

It seemed that he came here for the purpose of meditation and did not interact with local officials.

But no matter what, all the officials along the way who had seen Gao Xuance were pleased with his demeanor and handsome appearance. Gao Xuance did not treat other officials who had come into contact with him coldly. He would only ask in detail about those who were particularly talented and recommend them to Emperor Jianzhang. Therefore, on the way back from the Fengchan ceremony, many people waited for the Prince to pass by.

They found that this was the real path to success.

However, the Prince of Chen did not seem to win the hearts of scholars all over the world. He abided by all rules and did not overstep the boundaries.

The entourage and local officials who followed him were inviting him to take a seat and enjoy the singing and dancing. At this moment, if the Prince of Chen took a fancy to someone, it would be like a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

Gao Xuance smiled faintly on his face, but he felt bored watching the singing and dancing in his heart. These singing and dancing treasures were meaningless. He had seen countless good things since he was a child, and his wife was not greedy for these things.

Even though he was wearing prince's clothes on the outside, he was wearing pajamas made by his wife inside. The advantage of this pajamas was that it was very comfortable. Last time, there was a hole in it, and he asked Yao Niang to sew it for him.

I don't know how Yao Niang is doing now. But he is definitely a person who keeps public and private matters separate. He will not mention his children's love affairs in public.

"Your Majesty, this is carp from our Yellow River. It is a local specialty and can only be eaten here. The meat is tender and delicious. You must try it more."

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the Book of Songs, it is said, 'If one wants to eat fish, he must eat carp from the river.'"

"I want a delicacy, carp sashimi on a golden plate."

…

A group of people were praising a plate of Yellow River carp. Gao Xuance ate a few more chopsticks of food out of courtesy and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your hospitality."

The officials around him could also see that Gao Xuance was not moved by these things, and he even just glanced at the singing and dancing on the stage. They had long heard that Princess Chen was the daughter of Luo Gelao, and that she was a woman of great potential. Prince Chen even asked for Princess Luo to be named the Crown Prince after she gave birth to a son. Now it seems that her reputation is indeed worthy of her.

Therefore, someone hinted to Gao Xuance: "They have always admired the king's military achievements. I wonder if the king thinks highly of them. If they can serve you, it will be a great honor for them."

This means that you don’t have to take it home after using it.

At Prince Chen's age, he has no maids to serve him, and even the people who serve him are all eunuchs' servants. He is not interested in men, so this is too difficult for him.

Even the so-called benevolent Emperor Jianzhang would privately have officials from all over Jiangnan buy beautiful women and send them to the palace for his enjoyment. However, Prince Chen was completely averse to women, and no one else believed him, so they had to think of this way to make him feel better. If Prince Chen accepted the women, they would also be able to share his worries.

How could I know that the Prince of Chen said, "I originally wanted to practice meditation at night without being disturbed."

There are many Taoists who are unrestrained when it comes to women. This is not a reason at all, but Prince Chen was indeed very firm in his attitude. He would start meditating as soon as he entered the room at night.

The incense used in the room was made by Yao Niang. Every time he used this incense, it was as if Yao Niang was by his side.

Even when he was going to bed at night, he was still wondering if he would be able to go back in time to see Yao Niang give birth to the baby.

When he woke up in the morning, he found the contents of the court report, which said that Luo Zhizheng had resigned as prime minister. He knew this in advance, and his father-in-law had also informed him about it. However, Gao Xuance found it very confusing that the King of Zhou was leading the expedition to the east and west on behalf of the emperor.

In his opinion, if he returned, there would definitely be a secret struggle between him and King Zhou. He didn't expect that his father would actually send King Zhou to lead the army in person. How could his father come up with such a weird idea?

His mother's brain was not quick, and now that she was no longer favored, her words were not as effective as before. Moreover, King Zhou himself was not an ambitious person. He was waiting for every opportunity, the last blow, to always be invincible. How could such a person go to the battlefield on his own? It was simply impossible.

Now is not the best time to conquer the Donghu. The government in Dalin is corrupt, and the Weisuo troops are totally unworthy of being used. The Southern Army has to be transferred, and the Southern Army has begun to be suppressed with the departure of Luo Zhizheng. Can the King of Zhou control it?

He is afraid of riding a horse. Even if there are famous generals, can he play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army?

But if he doesn't perform well, wouldn't he be a laughing stock to the world? Then on what basis should he be named the crown prince?

Could it be that it was my father-in-law who came up with the idea? No, that's impossible. My father-in-law himself has always supported the eldest son, and it's impossible for him to do that in front of the emperor. So, who was it?

Who came up with such a wicked idea?

However, this wicked idea really suits his taste.
