"Zhu Si, if you have any idea, just say it. There are only Mr. Tang and I here. It doesn't matter if you are wrong, we will give you some advice."
Zhu Hao still let Zhu Si express his opinion.
Zhu Si was slightly embarrassed: "I think the imperial court must have regarded me as an enemy, otherwise they would not have tried to poison me before. Fortunately, Zhu Hao blocked it for me... However, if there is really a chance to become the emperor in the future,
, then no matter how much you pay now... it will be worth it."
Tang Yin frowned after hearing this.
What kind of speech is this?
But then I thought about it, the two nine-year-old children in front of me couldn't be too demanding.
Perhaps because he has had more contact with Zhu Hao, he has extremely strict requirements for Zhu Si... How profound a truth can a nine-year-old child say?
Are you going to let Zhu Si, like Zhu Hao, talk about some Machiavellian strategies in front of him that even the wily old fox has never had?
"That's very well said!"
Zhu Hao nodded in approval, "I think so too. Now Yuan Changshi's requirements for Mr. Tang are too high... Think about it, not only do you have to give Zhu Si a chance to aspire to the throne, but you also have to keep Prince Xing's Mansion low-key.
Being unassuming is contradictory in itself... I think it is necessary to take back our own land from Prince Xiang's Mansion... Zhu Si, what do you think?"
"Of course I have to get it back."
Zhu Si said seriously.
As expected, it was a conversation between children, with little nutrition. Tang Yin seemed to grasp the purpose of Zhu Hao's words, but it was difficult to determine for a while.
Zhu Hao said: "Zhu Si, you'd better not tell your father about what Mr. Tang and I told you. If you have to say it... it's up to you..."
"No, no, I won't say... Zhu Hao, I want to ask you, do I really have a chance to be the emperor?" When he said this, Zhu Si's little eyes were shining.
For a child, the feeling between being a prince and being an emperor is naturally very different.
The prince of the Ming Dynasty looked noble, but he did not have much power. He could not even leave the city where the prince's palace was located;
The emperor is the ruler of the world and is the lord of hundreds of millions of people. It is said in the book that "when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid to rest", it is exciting just to hear it.
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.
Zhu Si grinned happily: "No wonder you refused to tell me directly before...Did you predict through divination that I would be the emperor in the future? But you didn't dare to tell me, for fear of being disrespectful... Hehe, I know you and
Mr. Tang is doing it all for my own good... I went in to study!"
After that, Zhu Si trotted back to the classroom. After this conversation, Zhu Si even became more motivated to study.
…
…
Watching Zhu Si enter the room, Tang Yin frowned: "You kid, don't you know the risks of saying this? Do you just want to encourage him to study hard?"
Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Yin with a smile: "I'm doing this all for your own good."
"What?"
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Don't blame everything on me. I don't advocate letting the crown prince know his situation in the court. This may not be a good thing for his growth."
Zhu Hao leaned forward and spoke in a very low voice: "Mr. Tang, I would like to ask, if King Xing... has any shortcomings at the moment and does that act of entrusting an orphan, do you think King Xing trusts Yuan Changshi more?
Or do I trust you more?"
"this……"
Tang Yin was confused for a moment.
He had never thought about this problem, it seemed too far away from him.
Zhu Hao said: "Let me answer it for you... For now, King Xing must trust Yuan Changshi more, and he can only entrust the entrustment to Yuan Changshi... When the prince inherits the position of King Xing, Yuan Changshi will serve as the entrustment
The important minister will definitely use the power in his hands to drive you away, do you think this is possible?"
Tang Yin did not answer, nor did he deny Zhu Hao's point of view.
"Let's put it this way, Mr. Tang, although you have done a lot in the palace and have now gained the trust of everyone in Prince Xing's palace, you are still a little far away from being the minister of Tuogu and the most trusted person of the future prince. Everything depends on you entering
The time spent in the palace is too short, the total time spent with Prince Xing and the Crown Prince is only more than a year, while Yuan Changshi has been in the palace for twenty years, and his relationship with Prince Xing is that of a teacher, brother, and friend. How can you compare?"
Zhu Hao's words made Tang Yin a little reluctant to face reality. He frowned and said, "The truth is this, but why did you do what you did today?"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "It's too difficult to help you gain more trust from Prince Xing. No matter how much you say it, you can't compare with a mentor and helpful friend who has been with each other for twenty years in the palace. But as for the prince, you still have
If there is a chance, I will transfer all the trust the prince has in me to you and let him know... you are more capable than Yuan Changshi. Not only can you help him be the prince of Xingwang, but you can also successfully take charge of Xingwang's palace in the future.
Can help him become emperor..."
Tang Yin frowned: "You have only been in the palace for one year longer than me, so why does the Crown Prince trust you so much? He has been studying with Yuan Changshi since he was a child."
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "You have underestimated me. I have been with the prince day and night for the past two years. How can I be compared to an elder like Yuan Changshi who only occasionally appears in the school?"
"Before you entered Prince Xing's Palace, I created your image as a worldly master, so that the Crown Prince would yearn for you and be full of admiration for you. After you entered Prince Xing's Palace, I also tried my best to help you create an unparalleled figure in the world.
Wizards image...you've done a great job so far.
"Guess, if the prince suddenly succeeds to the throne of King Xing now, will he trust you more or Yuan Changshi?"
Tang Yin thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but nodded: "It's true as you said, if it's with Prince Xing... I don't have the slightest chance, but with the Crown Prince... it seems... I can still give it a try."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "That's it. I told the prince that he would be emperor in the future, and I did it in front of you. Didn't I just tell him that the purpose of your existence is different from Yuan Changshi?
"Yuan Changshi can only make him a qualified prince, but you can help him become the emperor who rules the world. You also see the prince's desire for power... When he understands that you can help him achieve great things, he
They will rely on you more.
"As for what you are worried about, he will tell King Xing what I told him, but there is no need to do so.
"Let's talk about Zhu Si first. He keeps his promises and keeps his credibility. He will not betray his friends easily. Even if he tells it, the only one who will be affected is me... And whether I stay in Prince Xing's Mansion now will not affect his love for me.
Your trust will not affect your ability to ask me for advice in the future, right? Even if I leave Prince Xing’s Mansion, I will not leave Anlu.”
These words confirmed Tang Yin's previous guess that Zhu Hao no longer cared about being driven away by Prince Xing's Mansion.
At the same time, I also admire Zhu Hao's foresight and foresight. He has now begun to plan the affairs after Zhu Si becomes the head of the family, and no longer focuses on the small gains and losses in front of him.
Zhu Haodao: "Mr. Tang, what happened today has brought the conflict between you and Yuan Changshi to the surface. I believe that you can only work together in the future, but you cannot become comrades... This word is not very nice, and it probably means that it is impossible for you to know each other."
Working hard for the same goal will only lead to superficial harmony."
"Um."
Tang Yin nodded and admitted.
Originally, it was impossible for him to have a true heart-to-heart relationship with Yuan Zonggao. Yuan Zonggao introduced him to the palace with the intention of making him a vassal of Shi Si, the palace chief. However, with the help of Zhu Hao, he gradually became a powerful figure in the palace, almost
He could stand up to Chang Shisi, but even if nothing happened today, Yuan Zonggao would not be able to treat him as "one of his own".
Therefore, it does not matter whether he offends Yuan Zonggao or not.
"Then Mr. Tang should not have any worries. Take back the land belonging to Prince Xing's Palace from Prince Xiang's Palace, so that everyone in the Palace will respect you even more... You will have a grasp of the people's support in the Palace. If even the Crown Prince relies on you,
, then Yuan Changshi can only gain respect as an old man in the palace, but trust, haha... gradually... he will be replaced by you."
After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he gave Tang Yin an encouraging look, "I'm going in for class, you go and do your work."
"etc."
Tang Yin called to Zhu Hao who was about to leave, with a sincere expression: "Zhu Hao, I misunderstood you a lot before. I thought you were too scheming, or... not a good choice, but now... I thank you, and you will
You will definitely make a difference in the palace. Even if you become an official in the court, you can help the Ming Dynasty. Okay, you can go in."
What Tang Yin said was very emotional.
It was also after he broke up with Yuan Zonggao that he realized that Zhu Hao was dedicated to helping him, and he felt inspired.
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded. He could tell that Tang Yin said this sincerely. Maybe it was a temporary feeling, and the words and words were not carefully considered, but it was more obvious that Tang Yin showed his true feelings.
…
…
Next few days.
Tang Yin did not care about the school affairs, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plan of leading people to seize the territory from Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Although Zhu Hao was relieved for a long time, he still felt that what he was doing was ridiculous.
The previous work of suppressing bandits and fighting floods was not only for the prosperity of the prince's palace, but also for the local people. It was something that could reflect the noble integrity of the literati. In the blink of an eye, he took the guards of the Yiwei Department to fight with others and seize the territory... from the bandit suppressors.
Transforming into a person like a bandit was such a big change that Tang Yin himself couldn't adapt to it.
But the truth is there, King Xing's order has been issued, and he has to do it even if he doesn't want to do it.
Fortunately, the strength of Prince Xing's Palace was indeed much stronger than that of Prince Xiang's Palace. The land was quickly occupied, and then they were waiting for Prince Xiang's Palace to come and provoke them.
This evening.
Zhu Hao and Tang Yin discussed the countermeasures again, and Zhu Hao also gave Tang Yin a newly knitted cotton coat.
The two of them arrived at the place where the guards of the Royal Palace in the West Courtyard gathered, and heard the guards bragging from a distance.
"...Those bastards in Prince Xiang's Mansion are nothing. Have they ever been on the battlefield? Have they fought with their lives against bandits? If nothing else, every one of our brothers in the Prince's Mansion has crawled out from the dead. Thinking of that day they were killed.
It feels so good to have teeth all over the floor!
"We will wait for you another day. If anyone dares to provoke you, he will definitely occupy Prince Xiang's Mansion!
"Haha, don't go to Xiangyang to make trouble. We can just guard the land. I heard Zhu Weizheng said that we will occupy it until the end of the autumn harvest. There is still more than half a month. After the grain is returned to the warehouse, we won't be afraid of them coming to cause trouble. If they still dare to send people to invade
, just fight him back at once! No need to send anyone who is guarding the ground!"
A group of men were chatting away there.
As for the foreman of this group of people, Lu Songshou sat in front of the temporary bonfire, holding his chin in his hands and staring at the jumping flames, as if he was thinking about things and did not participate in the discussion. Finally, he made a summary
Speech: "Okay, let's eat something to fill our stomachs and go back to rest early. Our next shift out of the city will be the afternoon after tomorrow, but we have to watch the palace night tomorrow night..."
Just as he was talking, a group of people saw Tang Yin and Zhu Hao arriving.
The group of rough guys who were bragging just now all stood up, and even Lu Song hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met you, sir."
"Good morning, sir."
"Say hello sir."
Tang Yin found that just as Zhu Hao said, his position in the hearts of the people in the palace was extremely high. Their respect for him was all sincere, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
