If it weren't for the two of them, they would have secretly conspired together to murder people and rob money.
If this is really the case, the matter will be much more serious. The 100,000-strong army is quite large, and it is a team that he secretly cultivated.
If you want to eradicate these two people, you must be unaware of them, and you must not be caught by people from the court.
Zhao Zhongru actually conveyed such a message to himself, indicating that he was also in danger, and the prefecture and county magistrates were already suspicious of him.
It seems that I can't do anything if I don't take action personally this time, but the matters at the court are urgent and I am really worried.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Mr. Zhu.
This person has always been upright, but he knows that he has secretly raised an army, and he doesn't know whether it will be used by him.
But among so many people, after much deliberation, he was the most suitable, so Zhao Jin decided to take the risk.
Zhao Jin parked his horse outside the gate of Zhu's Mansion. There was no one guarding the door, so he just pushed the door open and went in.
Zhao Jinjing was stunned when he saw this scene.
The dilapidated courtyard is full of desks, one after another, almost placed outside the door. There is no school today, so the whole courtyard is quiet.
Lord Zhu was enjoying the cool air in the hall. When he heard someone coming in, he turned around and saw that it was His Royal Highness, so he knelt down in a hurry to salute.
"I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince was coming to my residence today. If there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me."
Zhao Jin personally helped him up, "I have an important matter to discuss with Mr. Zhu today. I have always known that you are poor and poor, but I didn't know that you are so poor. You must be a good official. I would like to thank you on behalf of these poor bachelors."
Mr. Zhu quickly said, "No, no, His Royal Highness takes care of everything for the country and the people every day. Only the humble ministers should be grateful."
The two of them sat together and drank a pot of tea, since they felt that this kind of time was also wonderful.
"Master Zhu, I have known that you are a loyal person since the last incident. Now I have something that I can't go to personally. After thinking about it, you are the one who is suitable. I wonder if you are willing to do this for me.
"
Mr. Zhu said sincerely, "It is my blessing to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness the Crown Prince might as well say it bluntly. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Zhao Jin lowered his voice and said, "You also know that there was a flood in Lingnan recently. The people were displaced and there was not a grain of rice left."
Master Zhu said puzzledly, "The land in Lingnan is rich and the granaries are abundant. What's more, there are no floods every year. Even if we take half a year's worth of food from the granaries, the people will not be hungry."
Zhao Jin frowned and said, "That's exactly what I'm talking about. I just got the news yesterday that many people died during the flood because there was not enough food and rice relief."
"What your Highness the Crown Prince means is that there are people there who deliberately don't open the granary. It's really damning."
Zhao Jin nodded, "You also know the current situation in the court. If I leave like this, some people will not be able to sit still, so I can't leave now. I hope you can go."
Mr. Zhu touched his beard and nodded and said, "What do you need from me, Your Highness the Prince?"
Zhao Jin said with a slightly embarrassed look, "This is one of the things. I want to tell you some things. You know that Lingnan has always been a battleground for military strategists. If we don't set up a large army to control it, our country will be invaded."
threat."
Master Zhu immediately understood what he wanted to say. He widened his eyes and said, "It is a serious crime to set up a private army. Your Highness, I am sorry that I cannot agree to your request."
Zhao Jin knew that this man had always been so stubborn and it was difficult to talk to him, so he was not too surprised.
"Then what if the future emperor wants to do this?"
Master Zhu lowered his voice and scolded Zhao Jin angrily, "Your Highness, although you are the crown prince personally named by the emperor, from ancient times to the present, no prince dares to call himself that. I will not send you away. Your highness, please come and go on your own."
"I set up an army not for myself, but for
Thousands of ordinary people have been killed. If there is chaos in the capital and reinforcements cannot come, how will the people in the capital cope with themselves? If this army had not been set up, South Korea would be eyeing the border. How would the people on the border cope with themselves?
Oh, Master Zhu, have you ever thought about this?"
After hearing these words, Mr. Zhu was obviously shaken, but the unique literary spirit in his bones did not allow him to do so.
He sat on the chair in pain and didn't know what to do.
Zhao Jin looked at him with firm eyes and said, "Mr. Zhu, I am still the same person you once knew. I have never changed. I serve the country, the people, and the world. You can open up and do what you want. The world will be as you wish."
.”
After hearing these words, Mr. Zhu secretly gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, I will go through this journey for His Highness the Crown Prince. I just hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will do what he says, and the lives of these people will be left to you."
Zhao Jin smiled slightly. He was full of energy and looked like a young emperor.
Master Zhu looked at his empty school and opened his mouth in embarrassment, "Your Highness, I have dozens of students under my command. If I leave during this period, I'm afraid they won't review their lessons well. Please give me more supervision."
"
Zhao Jin shook his head helplessly after hearing his words.
No matter where he went, he thought about these students. He even spent all his money to buy rice for these poor children without a single complaint.
"Don't worry about this. I will renovate the school and give these poor people enough rice to eat. I believe that the next number one scholar will definitely come from this school." Five
These words made Mr. Zhu very happy. As a teacher who teaches people to learn, there is probably nothing more exciting than this.
On this day, Wei Wu had nothing to do and came to the back garden. All kinds of flowers were blooming, and a hundred flowers were in full bloom.
Although it was beautiful, Wei Wu didn't care too much about it.
He continued walking inside and suddenly heard the noise of two women.
I found a corner and hid behind it to see what was going on in front of me.
The seventeenth princess knelt on the ground to plead with her maid.
"Sister, Xia Min is my personal maid. He did something wrong this time. I will punish him well when I get back. I also ask my sister to spare him this time."
After hearing what she said, the woman said arrogantly, "You go back and punish her. She is your maid. Maybe you instigated her to do this. Don't think that I don't know that you have always been jealous of me."
