Zhu Hao spoke very straightforwardly, which made Tang Yin worried for a while. It was too late to remind him, but he also felt that it was unnecessary.
Zhu Wanhong narrowed his eyes and said like an old fox: "Zhu Hao, what you are thinking about is quite long-term... Is this why you have designed the Zhu family so many times?"
Zhu Hao said: "As far as I know, King Xing's health has been getting worse every day in the past two years..."
Originally, Zhu Wanhong had a sense of superiority that saw everything through and was condescending. After listening to Zhu Hao's words, his face gradually turned grim.
"If there is something wrong with Prince Xing, I'm afraid that the feud between Prince Xing's palace and the Zhu family will be forged, and the Zhu family will have no other choice in terms of their position. They can only go all the way to the dark side."
Zhu Hao said these words seriously.
The atmosphere is chilling.
Tang Yin felt that it was superfluous to sit next to him.
I thought that as a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, I had experienced enough ups and downs in my life to be able to see clearly everything in the world.
But after he arrived in Anlu, he saw what it means that there is a world outside the world, so he said that Zhu Wanhong's view was not comparable to that of ordinary people. He asked himself whether he could beat Zhu Wanhong if he really became an enemy.
I couldn't help but feel happy that thanks to Zhu Hao, the little fox, I had a sure chance of victory.
"Does the Zhu family still have the right to choose now?"
Zhu Wanhong was silent for a long time, looking at Zhu Hao with burning eyes.
This is no longer asking for advice, it is basically asking Zhu Hao to express his position.
Zhu Hao nodded: "Of course there is, because I am in Prince Xing's Mansion."
Even Tang Yin understood that this was the attitude Zhu Wanhong wanted, or in other words, the purpose of Zhu Wanhong's so many words to Zhu Hao today.
In the past, the two sides were not on the same position and could not come together, but as Zhu Wanhong saw through Zhu Hao's plan, it was tantamount to saying that if you don't agree to an alliance now that you have the capital to negotiate with Zhu Hao, I will expose your conspiracy to the world.
, so that you can isolate yourself from the world.
In any era, filial piety is the foundation of life. If you conspire against the family, even if you take the imperial examination, the court will not tolerate you.
Although this threat cannot cause substantial harm to Zhu Hao, it will seriously affect Zhu Hao's plan, which he does not want to see.
"Okay, Zhu Hao, the Zhu family is really lucky to have a descendant like you...With you in the palace, my uncle can feel a lot more at ease. Haha, don't you think so, Mr. Tang?"
Zhu Wanhong suddenly returned to his casual and chaotic attitude, and his fall was quite sudden.
Tang Yin asked: "So, what is the purpose of Zhu Qianhu coming to us?"
Zhu Wanhong laughed and laughed: "I don't have any purpose... What purpose can I have? I am a person who doesn't even have any authority. I am eating and waiting to die in Anlu. It's hard to say whether I will starve to death tomorrow..."
As he spoke, Zhu Wanhong looked at Zhu Hao, as if to say, can't you help me, my uncle?
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Tang, you see, my uncle has never had any contact with the family recently and is living in poverty. Why don't we give him some support?"
Tang Yin felt angry after hearing this.
If you want to help this arrogant uncle, don't get involved with me. I still need the money I earn to support my retirement. Your family has a big business, so it shouldn't be that bad.
"Hey, eldest nephew, just say that you feel sorry for your uncle and can't bear to see him suffer... How much are you going to give to your uncle?"
When Zhu Wanhong heard that Zhu Hao wanted help, his eyes were not just shining, they were spitting fire.
That kind of earnestness is shown on the outside and doesn't seem to be fake. Maybe Zhu Wanhong is really short of money.
"I'll give you fifty taels first...forget it, let's give you a hundred taels. Why are we a family?" Zhu Hao said with a smile.
"Oh? Okay, okay."
Zhu Wanhong was very happy.
Tang Yin had a bad premonition.
Are you, Zhu Wanhong, screwed up?
Reach out to your nephew and ask for money? You don’t know that your nephew is a brave man who can only get in and out, right? If he takes out the money, you will suffer a big loss. Think about the Zhu family, think about Zhang Zuo, and then think about those who have been with him
People who get benefits...wait a minute, am I also making money from this guy? He doesn't want to plot against me, right?
"But uncle, this silver cannot be given for free. I will give you one hundred taels of silver, which can be used as an advance payment, and I will give you another hundred taels later. But shouldn't you also show some performance?"
After Zhu Hao finished speaking, Tang Yin thought to himself that he really couldn't take advantage of this kid.
Zhu Wanhong's expression immediately changed when he heard this, but his cheeky traits were still evident: "Mr. Tang, my nephew is a discerning person. He can tell at a glance that if Prince Xing is not here, even if the matter has nothing to do with my Zhu family, the person in Prince Xing's Mansion will
People will also think that it was my Zhu family who did it. This will not only affect my nephew's status in the palace, but also make my Zhu family lose their retreat... The Zhu family should not stay in Anlu, but should move back to the capital."
Tang Yin frowned, are you talking to me?
I don’t care whether the Zhu family is in Anlu or not. Besides, Prince Xing is living well now. Does that mean he would have died if he hadn’t?
"Uncle, you..."
Zhu Hao is still laughing.
Zhu Wanhong laughed: "I support my nephew's views. I will try every means to make it impossible for the Zhu family to stay in Anlu... Are you satisfied with this in two years?"
"No, one year."
Zhu Hao made some calculations. Historically, Zhu Youqi died in the 14th year of Zhengde's reign. His illness is now very obvious. It is hard to say whether he can persist until the 14th year of Zhengde's reign as in history. Even if he can persist, I will give you two years to destroy the Zhu family.
Let’s go. If something goes wrong and I can’t go, wouldn’t that harm my plan?
Zhu Wanhong said helplessly: "One year? Is it too hasty? Even if I are willing, the court may not agree so quickly... Besides, don't you know who your grandmother is?"
Zhu Hao said: "Oh, then it seems that uncle has other options? As a junior, I can't be rude. Mr. Tang, why don't we go back first?"
"Wait. Just one year."
Zhu Wanhong finally understood.
Zhu Hao is planning to spend two hundred taels of silver in exchange for the Zhu family moving out of Anlu.
In terms of price, two hundred taels to complete this thing... nonsense? What kind of business does the Zhu family have? How can two hundred taels of silver solve the loss caused by a move?
But for Zhu Wanhong, these two hundred taels of silver were the capital that allowed him to continue to stay in Anlu as a hermit.
Anyway, the Zhu family's money does not belong to him, Zhu Wanhong. Zhu Wanhong doesn't care how much the Zhu family has lost. What he wants is to be consistent with Zhu Hao's position... and the two hundred taels of silver to help him out.
"Then Zhu Hao, I promised you, do you think..."
Zhu Wanhong just made the gesture of counting money as a hint.
Zhu Hao said: "It's empty talk, but it's impossible for the uncle to make a written statement about this kind of thing... Let's do this. After I go back, I will give you fifty taels of silver as a deposit, and when the matter becomes clearer, I will give another fifty taels...
The last one hundred taels will be delivered after the work is completed, and there will be a long-term supply. What do you think, uncle?"
"Hey, you're such a picky kid."
When Zhu Wanhong heard this, he couldn't help but curse.
Tang Yin thought this pair of uncle and nephew was a bit strange.
As an elder, it’s just a matter of asking for money from a junior. The two sides fought back and forth, killing each other until they were evenly matched. Now, for a little money, they don’t care about the demeanor of their elders and are arguing with a junior... This junior also let
People are shocked, are they using methods that ordinary children can use?
You are more like an old fox than an old fox!
…
…
After discussing the details of the silver gift, Zhu Wanhong even told Zhu Hao his residence in the city to show his sincerity.
It probably means that if you have anything to do, come to me. Don't make it seem like I'm just using you and don't want to be honest with you.
But Zhu Wanhong still took advantage of Zhu Hao to make an explanation before he left: "...Don't tell your grandmother about my residence in the city, even your mother, don't mention it."
Zhu Hao nodded: "Understood."
"Haha, then I will continue to listen to the eminent monk's sermons."
Zhu Wanhong had no intention of getting up to see the guests off, and waved his hand to let the two of them go their own way.
Zhu Hao and Tang Yin came out of the backyard door. Lu Song looked at them curiously and asked, "That person didn't threaten you, did he? If there is anything wrong, report it directly to King Xing."
Tang Yin looked hesitant, and then he remembered that Lu Song came with them.
Many of the previous conversations between Zhu Hao and Zhu Wanhong involved plots and secrets, and some were directly aimed at Prince Xing's Mansion. He and Zhu Hao could hold back from talking about it after they returned, but there was no guarantee that Lu Song would not report the private meeting.
How to respond to the two old foxes Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "My uncle just borrowed money from me to help him out... Lu Dianzhan had better keep it a secret, and don't tell him when he returns to the palace."
Tang Yin frowned, he won't talk if you don't let him? No matter how good the relationship is, he is still a representative of the palace, this is his official business, and Lu Song is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between public and private matters.
Unexpectedly, Lu Song actually nodded: "I won't mention it when I get back."
"Um?"
Tang Yin was surprised.
Lao Lu, this is not your style!
Aren't you the most responsible person? When suppressing bandits, you took the lead and took risks on the front line. How could such a responsible person be pushed back by Zhu Hao in just a few words?
Zhu Hao is still laughing.
How can you, Tang Yin, understand my relationship with Lu Song? How can you understand that Lu Song doesn’t want people to know that he met Zhu Wanhong even more than I do?
…
…
On the way back, Lu Song said goodbye first and went home to rest, leaving Zhu Hao and Tang Yin behind.
Tang Yin obviously wanted to ask Zhu Hao about the purpose of meeting Zhu Wanhong.
"So, what your uncle told you was all planned by you a long time ago? You made every possible effort to leave Anlu for the Zhu family? Even if the Zhu family has prejudices against you and will ruin your affairs, you are so
What is the purpose of all the deliberate efforts?”
Tang Yin felt that Zhu Hao had made things a bit big.
Is the purpose of going to all this trouble just to move the Zhu family out of Anlu?
Even if it really succeeds, wouldn't Prince Xing's Mansion regard the Zhu family as its enemy? No matter how much you say, you are from the Zhu family, and this can't be changed.
Zhu Hao said sternly: "I want the prince to hate the imperial court because of the death of King Xing and fight for the throne with bone-cutting hatred, but this hatred must not be passed on to the Zhu family and me."
"ah?"
Tang Yin looked confused.
what are you saying?
Are you planning to assassinate King Xing?
Zhu Hao said the words without further explanation. It involves deep-seated things, which is tantamount to leaking history in advance. Furthermore, Zhu Hao cannot completely confide in Tang Yin. Even if he believes that Tang Yin will never betray him as a person, there is no way to protect this pig teammate.
Once he knows the details, he won't ruin his big event because of some stupid move.
