Jiang Wan thought about his words to Wang Chengen. He asked himself that his reasons were enough to persuade Wang Chengen to help. But what he didn't expect was that Wang Chengen really had no secrets in front of Zhu Youjian.
Especially when his own interests are not involved.
Not to mention, Wang Chengen and Zhu Youjian personally ordered him to have a snack with Jiang at night, so it would not be surprising at all that he would turn around and report the matter to Zhu Youjian.
"He said it was for the palace and for me?" Zhu Youjian's face looked strange: "Do you believe what I said?"
"Of course I don't believe it!" Wang Chengen chuckled: "However, I feel that what he said is somewhat reasonable. Last time, wasn't there something about Dongchang fanzi testing the prince's attitude? This matter
It was Jiang Wan who handled it, so it is normal for him to have this idea!"
"He wants to have his own manpower!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "It seems that he really has no intention of taking the imperial examination and has been thinking about these things all day long!"
"It's really difficult for him to be a young deacon who listens to Yunxuan and is thinking about important matters in the palace!" Zhu Youjian shook his head.
"Then will this slave agree to him or not?" Wang Chengen said with a smile.
"What did you promise him? Are you familiar with Beizhen Fusi?" Zhu Youjian sneered and pointed at Wang Chengen: "The Jinyiwei has just changed its commander, and it was recommended by Wei Zhongxian. Luo Sigong left, and Tian Ergeng came.
, could it be said that you have a friendship?"
"In front of others, I speak for the prince. This slave's promise is of course agreed by the prince!"
Wang Chengen said without changing his expression: "Don't you know what kind of thing I am? Except the prince, who else has the title of slave in their eyes?"
"You know your duty!" Zhu Youjian glanced at Wang Chengen and said lightly.
Wang Chengen was shocked. As for the topic of duty, he didn't expect that one day his master, who he had watched grow up, would use it on himself. He was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he did not take over this matter, and even more so.
He immediately reported it to the prince.
If he really takes care of this matter, and the prince knows about it from others, no matter what his intentions are, I am afraid that in the prince's heart, he will be labeled as "not keeping his duty".
Wouldn't that be the same as that guy Wei Zhongxian?
"Go and ask Jiang Wan to come over!" Zhu Youjian was stunned for a while and suddenly said.
A moment later, Jiang Wan, who was a little nervous, appeared in front of Zhu Youjian. It had been a few months since he last saw Zhu Youjian. He didn't expect that he would be in front of Zhu Youjian because of such a thing.
There was a wave of presence in front of me again.
"Come down with me, I don't need you to serve me here!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand and asked Wang Chengen to leave.
This move made Jiang Wan feel a little excited. Was Zhu Youjian going to talk to him alone?
"Jiang Wan, as a deacon of the palace, you don't think about how to manage Ting Yunxuan every day, but think about these messy things. Isn't it a bit unscrupulous to do your duty? Don't you believe that everyone in the world should perform their duties?
How do you explain your own approach?”
There were only two of them left in the room, and Zhu Youjian spoke slowly.
"When you are in the palace, you naturally have to think about the palace. Ting Yunxuan is just an insignificant part of the palace. If you stop listening to Yunxuan, it will seem that the subordinate structure is too small!" Jiang Wan said eloquently: "Belong to the palace.
What I have learned in the next ten years is that if I only manage and control a group of singers and musicians to make a living, then why do I need to live in the palace? Isn’t it possible that I can’t support myself in this market teahouse? "
"I feel that I am just doing my duty!"
"You said so much, but you feel you have wronged yourself!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "I know that you have some unknown tricks, but you are a scholar, and you should know that those tricks of yours are invisible.
You are so conceited by relying on some shameful tricks. I really don’t know if this small temple in my Tenth Prince’s Mansion can hold a great god like you!”
"Wherever there is justice, there is wonder, just like where there is light there is darkness, and where there is conspiracy there is conspiracy!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "Take Dongchang as an example, Wei Zhongxian is running rampant in the court, and his gangsters often take advantage of people. Officials
Everyone is afraid of him like a tiger, and the knowledgeable people in the court all denounce Dongchang for being rebellious, sinister and despicable. It is just that Dongchang's methods are not upright enough. He framed, framed, framed, and used all possible means!"
"But Your Majesty, please think about it from another angle!" Jiang Wan said: "Wei Zhongxian is His Majesty's confidant and someone whom Your Majesty can rely on. His Majesty's instructions must be fulfilled no matter what method is used.
, I’m afraid it includes these all-out methods, so in your Majesty’s opinion, are Wei Zhongxian’s actions right or wrong?”
Zhu Youjian was startled for a moment. He really hadn't thought about this problem, he just resisted this approach from his heart.
"Who wouldn't want to use upright conspiracy and take the fair and just way? However, if these dark means can also achieve the goal when the right way doesn't work, why not use it!" Jiang Wan said: "A knife,
As long as it can kill people, should the person who gets it have to worry about whether the knife is made of fine iron produced in Shandong or Yunnan?"
"You can take the right path!" Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment: "If you are really talented and learned, you can do great things in the court in the future!"
"Everyone has their own way, and so does Your Highness!" Jiang Wan said with profound meaning: "Sometimes, these ways are chosen by oneself, and sometimes, one really has no choice but to make the decision by oneself! In short, Jiang Wan has never been able to make the decision in his life.
He plans to become an official in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Don't plan to be an official?" This was the second time Zhu Youjian heard Jiang Wan say that he had no intention of becoming an official. He couldn't help but be curious: "Why?"
"Everything in the world is unpredictable!" Jiang Wan said: "Your Majesty, remember Jiang Wan's words. From now on, Your Majesty will understand why Jiang Wan is unwilling to be an official!"
"The king is planning to let you go to Jinyiwei!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "You said that the palace has more eyes and ears outside. This is a good idea, but if the king opens this matter to the emperor's brother once, it will only
If it’s for a hundred households of royal guards, that’s too much looking down on me!”
"My subordinates are in the palace, with the prince, and are not going anywhere!" Jiang Wan didn't know whether what Zhu Youjian said was true or false. Anyway, Jin Yiwei's place is definitely a huge pit. He wouldn't jump even if he was killed.
into that pit.
"You want to help others get promoted, but you don't want to be an official yourself. What are you thinking about!" Zhu Youjian laughed: "If you want to attract my attention, don't go to such trouble. Last time I
I said, I will need you when I need you!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, doesn't have to ask for such a trivial matter!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "Didn't someone want to test Your Majesty's attitude towards him last time? Don't you want His Majesty to return the favor?"
"No!" Zhu Youjian replied simply and neatly: "There is no need. With my brother here, I don't have to worry about anyone, but I don't want to provoke anyone!"
Jiang Wan was speechless. Although Zhu Youjian was a little dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's arrogance and domineering, he was still a little too timid after all. He thought that his emperor brother would protect him for the rest of his life, so he naturally didn't have to think about other things.
He lowered his head and struggled, but he didn't notice that Zhu Youjian had a smile in his eyes and was looking at him with his head sideways, as if he wanted to know what he should do now?
