Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

"You said it's possible to escape from the imperial edict?"

"good!"

"Wouldn't it be nice if we were conspiring loudly next to the jailer?"

Zhu Gaoxu relaxed his muscles and bones, making a clicking sound, and then looked at the person standing opposite.

"."

The jailer wisely left.

Zhu Gaoxu was holding a broom and Jiang Xinghuo was cleaning the yard outside the prison.

It was early morning in late summer, the sun had not yet risen, and the weather was a little cool.

There was a thin morning mist in the air, and occasionally a few birds chirping in the distance, which was quite pleasant.

Two people were drawn today and were responsible for cleaning the yard. However, neither of them was made to work. One was rough-handed and the other was focused on fishing. He was not as quick at work as ordinary prisoners, so they cleaned up. It took half an hour to cover half of the yard outside the prison. When they finished their work and looked back, it was already sunrise.

The red sun was rising slowly. The two of them cleared away the garbage in the yard, went to the nearby well to get water to wash their hands, and then sat on the ground to rest.

Zhu Gaoxu put the broom on the ground, turned to Jiang Xinghuo and said, "Mr. Jiang, we have to do something very important today, so we must be serious."

Jiang Xinghuo knocked the dustpan upside down on the ground, sat on it, and asked, "What's the important thing?"

Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "Of course it's the jailbreak I just mentioned."

"Pfft. Cough cough cough."

Jiang Xinghuo choked on the cold well water he just drank and coughed.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly stood up, patted his back gently, and comforted him: "Mr. Jiang, I know you are excited. Don't be excited. You should have thought of this kind of thing a long time ago."

"Stop! Stop!"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't choke to death from the water, but was almost beaten to death by Zhu Gaoxu.

Jiang Xinghuo regained his composure, wiped the water spilled from the corner of his mouth, stared and said, "Do you know how strong you are?"

"I've never tried how powerful it is." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head dejectedly, "Anyway, when fighting, I always fight with one arm. It's probably as tall as this big tree."

Jiang Xinghuo rolled his eyes.

Since ancient times, the person with the strongest physical strength on the battlefield has been able to carry the big banner. The one who can resist the banner with one arm is called Dian Wei.

"How do you plan to escape from prison?"

"There is a place on the back wall of the prison where corpses are transported."

Zhu Gaoxu told the truth about his escape plan: "I have some friendship with the prison officer who is responsible for examining the corpses. I can let him pretend that we are corpses and get through. We are wrapped in straw mats and hung with hemp ropes. Generally, we don't deliberately go there." No one will investigate further."

"What about the second step?"

To Jiang Xinghuo's expectation, Big Beard's plan was very thorough.

"Of course I'll take the night-scented car out of the city in the early morning. The Battle of Jingnan has been fought for four years, and the world's population has been dispersed. After we get out, we can casually serve as a guide to the dead, and Mr. Jiang can change his name."

Jiang Xinghuo rarely asked seriously, "Are you serious?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and replied honestly: "I am serious."

"Mr. Jiang is a great talent." Zhu Gaoxu stroked his beard and responded sincerely, "According to what the storyteller calls him, he is a talented person like Xun Lingjun in the late Han Dynasty."

"I haven't read many books, and I don't want to read them, but I also know that Mr. Jiang, with his talent and learning, was born to be high up in the temple, to be the crimson prince who weighs the world and governs the world for the people. He should be buried in this dark prison."

"I am very touched."

Jiang Xinghuo tried to squeeze out a few tears, but unfortunately failed.

"But I really just want to wait to die!"

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said boldly: "Mr. Jiang, you don't have to refuse, I can go out. It's not that I can't go out because the opportunity is given to you."

Jiang Xinghuo said helplessly: "How about this? You go to jail first."

"Where are you, Mr. Jiang?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little moved.

"I will engrave your name on the stone in the cesspit of the imperial edict, and remember the incident of escaping from prison. The so-called teacher who never forgets the past is a mirror for future generations." Jiang Xinghuo replied seriously.

"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"Gao Yu."

Zhu Gaoxu took his own "Gao" and the "Yu" of Xiang Yu whom he admired most, and made up a pseudonym.

"Good name. Gao Aocao said before his death, 'Come and join me as the founding father of the country.' Before Xiang Yu died, he also said, 'I heard that Han bought my head for a thousand pieces of gold, and I have ten thousand households in the city. I am a virtuous man.' It seems that your head will definitely be in the future." Worth the price.”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was not angry but happy.

The so-called "Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages", only Gao Aocao, who had a peerless horse power in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, could compare with it. Comparing these two people to a certain general is undoubtedly a great compliment to him.

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Why should it be carved on the pit stone? Isn't this a stink that will last for centuries?"

"Isn't it natural that a successful king will lose a bandit, and a defeated bandit will be infamous for hundreds of years?"

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless for a moment.

After decisively rejecting Big Beard's invitation to escape from prison, Jiang Xinghuo went back and had a good sleep.

Just kidding, you can die soon and you are one step closer to success, why would you want to escape from prison?

If the jailbreak is successful, he will waste a lot of time; if the jailbreak fails, what should he do if he deliberately wants to die?

At noon, I was under the old crooked neck tree.

Jiang Xinghuo, who was thinking that he was one step closer to his death, was in a good mood and even took the initiative to give advice.

As usual, I gnawed most of the melon first.

"Mr. Jiang, what happened to the rice on the chessboard last time? I still don't understand."

Facing a student who was obviously not smart enough, Jiang Xinghuo didn't get angry. He chose a place to lie down, and then explained to the bearded man.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in realization.

"Let me tell you, what's the use of having so many babies? It's better to let me lead the troops on an expedition and just hack them all to death."

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "You are a cavalry general of the Southern Army. Why are you allowed to lead troops on an expedition today? Why, your name is Xu Huizu?"

Zhu Gaoxu realized that he had spilled the beans, so he made a fuss about it, and then asked again.

"Then since we can't kill them all, what is the solution Mr. Jiang said?"

Zhu Di, who was eavesdropping next door, became energetic.

coming!

"Haha, other than canceling the lowest level of the clan and causing trouble for the vassals, I don't believe you, Jiang Xinghuo, can come up with any better solution."

Zhu Di held the corner of the table with one hand, put the other hand on his waist, squinted his eyes, and listened quietly.

He seemed to be used to listening and gained fresh inspiration from Jiang Xinghuo's lectures.

But Jiang Xinghuo, who was on the other side of the wall, was not in a hurry and just said.

"The solution to the pressure of supporting the clan is actually very simple."

"It's just two."

When Zhu Di next door heard this, a smile not only crept onto his brow.

I thought you, Jiang Xinghuo, were some kind of genius, but it turns out you are only on the same level as Dao Yan!

That's it? That's it?

Of course, Zhu Di never thought that if a person can compare with the "Prime Minister in Black" in his mind, then this person is already unparalleled in the world.

However, what Jiang Xinghuo said next made Zhu Di's smile freeze on his brows.
