Zhao Jin is not a good person. He is really afraid of risking his life here. He even feels regretful and has thoughts of rebellion.
Otherwise, if this trip is just to honestly invite the crown prince, there won't be so many things.
Zhao Zhongsheng understood Zhao Xin's thoughts with a glance.
The other party's regret is not something that happens in a day or two.
Once something unexpected happens or he gets scared, Zhao Xin will feel regretful.
Zhao Zhongsheng comforted Zhao Xin in a familiar manner, "Father, don't worry."
He took a few steps closer and lowered his voice, "No matter how arrogant and ruthless the prince is, he will not do anything to me in Bianzhou. As for returning to the fiefdom, he will not be able to do anything."
"But what about on the road?" Zhao Xin is not optimistic.
Zhao Zhongsheng laughed and said, "Father, the prince will not take action under any circumstances."
He spoke so firmly that after Zhao Zhongsheng calmed down for a while, he couldn't help but asked: "Why is this?"
"Prince Yan is the first prince to enter the capital, but Prince Yan is different from us."
King Yan is a king with a different surname and has a particularly good relationship with the court, which is beyond the reach of all the princes.
The fact that he entered the capital and left safe and sound indeed made some princes restrain their actions and no longer be worried, but the relationship between Prince Yan and Prince Yan was special after all, and it was impossible for these princes to feel relieved because of this.
They are the most typical examples.
"Something happened to us, and the prince will be in trouble." Zhao Zhongsheng gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead popped up, "I bet the prince will not attack us."
"Not only that, he also wants to protect us!"
Zhao Zhongsheng tilted his head and said, "Father, let's first see what the prince's plan is."
"Okay, let's see what Zhao Jin wants to do first."
Rather than Zhao Jin attacking them, Zhao Zhongsheng was more worried that Zhao Jin would really let Zhao Zhongru become the crown prince.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhongru is a piece of mud and cannot hold up the wall even if he thinks about it.
Zhao Zhongsheng's prediction was good, Zhao Jin really couldn't attack them.
"Originally, I thought that I could only appease the king and show them some thunderous means at the right time to intimidate them. Now it seems that I can still make them feel uncomfortable."
Some of the staff in the East Palace later defected to Zhao Jin's sect, and some originally followed Zhao Jin. Even Chu Xiao came in quietly.
"What kind of trouble does Your Highness want to cause them?" Takeda was the most upright person and asked directly.
Zhao Jin smiled and looked very happy, "Don't Zhao Xin have an eldest son?"
After the news that the King of China was coming to the capital was revealed, the staff of the East Palace, the aristocratic families and the powerful officials almost knew everything about Zhao Xin's situation.
There are those who know more and there are those who know less.
Zhao Jin is undoubtedly the one who knows the most.
"Your Highness, you want to attack Zhao Zhongru?" Those who responded quickly had already vaguely understood Zhao Jin's plan.
Zhao Jin touched his chin and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Zhao Xin wholeheartedly wants Zhao Zhongsheng to be the crown prince, but Zhao Zhongsheng is the second son."
"But the situation in the Prince's Palace is different. After all, the current head wife is Zhao Zhongsheng's biological mother, and Zhao Zhongru's adoptive mother is just a lady. They may not be able to use this as an excuse."
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Xiao came up with a different opinion, "If you want to bring some discomfort to the king, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
He thought of the news he heard and frowned, not very optimistic about Zhao Zhongru.
"It is said that Zhao Zhongru has a cowardly character. He may not have the courage to disobey the king and confront Zhao Zhongsheng."
"This is not necessarily true." Zhao Jin recalled the performance of Zhao Zhongru and Zhao Zhongsheng during today's meeting, "This Zhao Zhongru may not be as rumored."
These people had never met Zhao Zhongru. When Zhao Jin said this, they understood that the rumors were wrong.
"If Zhao Zhongru is ambitious, he can fight for it." Chi Yi took the lead.
"Let's take a look first
Well, if he is upbeat, he will come here to find an orphan by himself."
Zhao Jin was not in a hurry about this matter. His intuition told him that Zhao Zhongru would definitely give him an unexpected surprise.
If Zhao Zhongru could be made to surrender to him, it would be better than directly banning the king.
The vassal state must be reduced, but it should wait until the Zhao Kingdom is prosperous and the people are safe. It is too early now.
And if Zhao Zhongru can win, by being on his side, there will be one less threat from the prince.
On the other side, after Zhao Zhongsheng finished talking with Zhao Xin, he came out and went straight to Zhao Zhongru's room.
Zhao Zhongru wrung his fingers, thinking about how to find a chance to meet Zhao Jin, and also avoid Zhao Xin and Zhao Zhongsheng.
If the two of them knew what he was thinking, they would definitely try their best to stop him from seeing Zhao Jin alone, or even from seeing Zhao Jin.
"Bang!"
When the door was kicked open, Zhao Zhongru didn't react for a moment and was startled.
However, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened in the Zhongwang Mansion.
Anyone who wanted to enter his room could always enter his room, so Zhao Zhongru almost immediately put on a grunting expression.
The palace attendant at the door of the room was also startled by Zhao Zhongsheng's kick. He wanted to persuade her, but was worried about getting into trouble.
"Brother, what are you doing hiding in your room?"
Zhao Zhongsheng looked at Zhao Zhongru with gloomy eyes and jumped up from his chair in fright.
"It's just, I'm just in a daze." Zhao Zhongru lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Zhongsheng.
"daze?"
Zhao Zhongsheng sneered, "Why is it not like this in the main hall?"
He still had a smile on his face, but it was terrifyingly gloomy.
It seemed that he would change his face at any time and beat Zhao Zhongru severely.
"I-I'm just afraid of embarrassing my father."
Zhao Zhongru swallowed, "If you anger the prince, you will die."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhongsheng said nothing, his eyes were like sharp swords, piercing Zhao Zhongru's face, as if he wanted to peel off his face to see if there was anything hidden.
"Zhao Zhongru, remember, you are just a puddle of mud. Don't think about things that don't belong to you."
Zhao Zhongsheng stared at it for a long time, and then stared closely for a while. He couldn't see any clues, and he was afraid that Zhao Zhongru really had some ulterior motives, so he threatened in a dark voice: "Be careful, you won't know why you will die by then."
Zhao Zhongru shuddered violently, the fear almost overflowing from his face.
Before he left, he threatened: "Don't hang around in front of the prince these days. I will ask the father to tell the prince that you are not feeling well and need to rest."
"How to do it, you should know."
Zhao Zhongru seemed to be extremely frightened, shrinking back and nodding.
Zhao Zhongsheng left with satisfaction.
The door of the room was wide open, and Zhao Zhongru's desolation and embarrassment all fell into the seriousness of the palace man at the door.
