Zhu Hao looked solemn, "Your Majesty, in fact, you are already Prince Xing. You only need to wait for the imperial decree to be issued before you can become a vassal. Even if you have not officially taken over the throne, you are now the de facto master of Prince Xing's Mansion... If you meet Prince Ning
In the case of rebellion, what should you do?"
Tang Yin was startled, Zhu Hao actually didn't make any suggestions, but let Zhu Si answer on his own?
Are you using Prince Ning's rebellion as a test question?
Zhu Si thought seriously for a while and replied seriously: "I think the court should be warned as early as possible."
Zhu Hao shook his head: "No. If Ning Wang rebelled, the local authorities must have reported the matter to the imperial court. Logically speaking, Prince Xing's Mansion could not have known about the news of Ning Ning's rebellion earlier than the local authorities. If it had been reported earlier than the local authorities, it would inevitably be exposed by the evil villain.
People say that there may be secret contacts between the two Ning houses..."
"Yes, yes, Zhu Hao, you are right, it was my lack of thinking." Zhu Si suddenly realized, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "Then should we be prepared to prevent Prince Ning's rebels from coming to Huguang?"
Tang Yin listened for a while.
This conversation...
There is still some technical content, but it doesn't sound like a conversation between King Xing and his staff, but more like a conversation between a teacher and a student... Wait, the two people in front of me are originally a teacher and a student, but why did Zhu Hao want to take it?
When King Ning rebelled, what about the future King Xing?
Zhu Hao said: "I said that King Ning's troops will not be sent to Huguang on the upper reaches of the river for the time being. They will go down the river to capture Nanjing. Only with a name of righteousness can they fight against the imperial court. According to my expectations, it is estimated that
Within two months, King Ning's rebellion will be put down by Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Jiangxi who is well prepared."
Zhu Si spread his hands: "Then I don't know how to deal with it."
Zhu Hao sighed: "What we should do at this time is to deal with the aftermath..."
When Zhu Hao's proposal came out, Tang Yin, not to mention Zhu Si, was also shocked.
"Zhu Hao, don't talk nonsense."
Tang Yin hurriedly reminded.
In his view, King Ning has just conspired to rebel. If Huguang, which is close to Jiangxi, gets the news, it will focus on preventing King Ning from causing chaos. You are actually preparing to deal with the aftermath now?
What kind of aftermath?
What is going on in your head?
Zhu Si nodded solemnly and followed Zhu Hao's train of thought: "If Prince Ning's rebellion is put down soon, then we should think about how to deal with the aftermath..."
Then he looked at Tang Yin with a meaningful look.
It seems to be saying that the aftermath has a lot to do with you Tang Yin...
Tang Yinze was dumbfounded, with a baffled look on his face.
Tang Yin originally thought that he and Zhu Hao came to see Zhu Si in order to let Zhu Si take on the responsibility of resurrecting the king, and immediately notify Huguang Cheng of the news of Prince Ning's rebellion, or report to the imperial court, but Zhu Hao went round and round.
After a long circle, a very convoluted suggestion came up, and Zhu Si still looked like this...
This left Tang Yin completely confused!
"Mr. Tang, do you have anything else? If not, I will accompany the prince to the wake, so I won't bother you anymore." Zhu Hao turned to look at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin's head was full of questions, thinking, are you trying to drive me away?
I have no objection to driving me away. Anyway, you can just inform King Xiaoxing of this matter. But the question is... why did you bring me here? I haven't officially expressed my opinion yet.
Tang Yin frowned, but still nodded: "Then I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave!" After saying that, he left with a little displeasure.
…
…
After Tang Yin left, Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin's back and chuckled in his heart.
If you come to see Zhu Si, your goal will be achieved.
After Tang Yin left, Zhu Si asked hurriedly: "Zhu Hao, do you want to say that Mr. Tang's confidante will die in less than two months? I'm talking about Princess Ning."
Zhu Hao thought to himself, you are really smart, you don't have to waste my time to plan such a scene.
Zhu Hao sighed: "You have also seen that after King Ning rebelled, Mr. Tang was very anxious to come to warn him. In fact, his heart was extremely complex. He hoped that his confidante would be fine, but at the same time he could not harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty... Between the choices, he
It’s very difficult.”
"Um."
Zhu Si thought about it and it made sense.
Tang Yin reported to Prince Ning for treason. Prince Ning was defeated and Princess Ning was bound to die.
But for the sake of family and country, he still had to sacrifice Prince Ning and his confidante.
Zhu Hao said: "I'm afraid that if Princess Ning dies after Prince Ning's rebellion fails, Mr. Tang's last concern in this life will be gone, and he will no longer be able to stay in the palace as a guest."
"No...no way."
Zhu Si said hurriedly, "My father said that if I want to achieve great things, I must have Mr. Tang's assistance."
Zhu Si trusted Zhu Hao very much, and the stories Zhu Hao told were reasonable and had always created the illusion that "Princess Ning was Tang Yin's spiritual support." Zhu Si would naturally believe Zhu Hao's statement. When Princess Ning died, Tang Yin was disheartened.
Lengxia will leave Prince Xing's Mansion and return to his hometown.
In a hurry, he even blurted out Zhu Youqian's last words.
In fact, Zhu Si didn't need to say this, everyone in the palace knew it.
When Zhu Youtiao was entrusting an orphan on his deathbed, his words were so obvious that everyone could see that Zhu Youtiao expected Tang Yin to bring his son to the throne, but because he did not say it clearly, others had to pretend to be confused even if they had a thousand understandings in their hearts.
.
Zhu Haodao: "You also know that Mr. Tang has been a little tired of working in the palace in the past few years. He neither wants to be an official nor has great ambitions. The court does not allow him to take the imperial examination and serve as an official again... except for a little money to repair... you
Do you think that with his talent, he is someone who lacks that little money?"
Zhu Si looked annoyed: "There should be no shortage, right? Aren't his paintings very valuable?"
This was the beginning of the idea that Zhu Hao had planted for him before, that Tang Yin stayed in the palace more to repay the kindness of King Xing.
"Mr. Tang came to Anlu with me to avoid being hunted by King Ning. Your father was kind enough to take him in and respect him. Now that your father has gone, if King Ning's rebellion is also put down, then his last worry will be gone.
If Princess Ning dies again, then he will have no sustenance at all...
"In the past few years, he has been alone. The palace has offered to renew his marriage several times but he has not agreed. Isn't this enough to show that he only cares about that one woman?"
Zhu Hao continued to use his fallacies to convince Zhu Si.
Zhu Si was originally ignorant about matters between men and women, and what Zhu Hao said was very reasonable. He had no other better choice but to believe it.
"Then...what should we do?"
Zhu Si was very nervous.
If Tang Yin leaves, then the elders his father left behind for him, and even the people Zhu Youqi said can help him become emperor, will be gone. How big of an impact will this have?
We can't help but have one of our right and left hands removed before we ascend to the throne of King Xing, and are even further away from the throne, right?
Zhu Hao said: "I have a bold plan. How about we... take advantage of King Ning's defeat to rescue Princess Ning?"
At this time, Zhu Hao finally revealed the foreshadowing that had been buried in his heart for nearly half a year in front of Zhu Si.
Zhu Si swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said: "With thousands of troops and horses, I'm afraid... it won't be that easy."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "So this requires detailed planning... We can find the experts in the palace and hire a group of water ghosts... According to my expectation, the final decisive battle between Prince Ning's troops and Wang Shouren's troops will most likely happen.
Taking place on Poyang Lake, it would be a massive water battle.
"Before, Princess Ning had warned King Ning many times not to rebel. King Ning turned a deaf ear and only wanted to be the emperor. If the army was defeated, Princess Ning would be so ashamed that she would definitely throw herself into the water. When the time comes, we will send a water ghost to tell her to fish her out...
"
Zhu Si was very interested after hearing this.
Obviously this thing was more interesting and exciting than anything he had done before.
"Zhu Hao, what you said is very simple...but what if it's not as you expected and Princess Ning didn't throw herself into the water?" Zhu Si asked.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "If you don't throw yourself into the water, then naturally you can't save him. This matter has nothing to do with Prince Xing's Mansion... If you throw yourself into the water, you will be rescued... It doesn't matter if you can't save anyone. To me, Prince Xing's Mansion
, and there is no loss.”
"It seems...that's the case..."
Zhu Si thought about it and found that there was no problem.
The biggest trouble when sending people to rescue people is that they are afraid of being misunderstood that there is collusion between Prince Xing's Palace and Prince Ning's Palace. But the problem is that no one is rescued, so how can others misunderstand it?
I misunderstood how many people you sent to help King Ning rebel?
This reason is too far-fetched!
Zhu Si immediately thought of a question: "What should we do if we really rescue someone and are caught by the imperial soldiers?"
Zhu Hao said: "A big battle is over. Countless troops have been routed. The battlefield is so chaotic that even the imperial troops can't catch the deserters. How can they care about the fate of a female family member? And there will be many female corpses on the river by then. As long as Princess Ning is captured, Princess Ning will be killed."
After changing her clothes, who knows which female corpse is her?
"Even if Wang Shouren really finds out that we rescued Princess Ning, he will choose to turn a blind eye and may even help Mr. Tang."
Zhu Si asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Zhu Haodao: "Because Wang Shouren once worshiped Princess Ning's grandfather Lou Liang as his teacher, and the Lou family was kind to him. Furthermore, he and Mr. Tang were old friends. Two years ago, he came to Anlu to seek experience in exterminating bandits, and got Tang's help.
Mr. Tang’s true story, Mr. Tang gave an advance warning of Prince Ning’s rebellion...
"If he knew that Prince Xing's Mansion intended to rescue Concubine Lou, he would definitely let her go with his foresight. Even if he didn't let her go, he would only take her back and not embarrass Prince Xing's Mansion... Otherwise, how would he explain to the court that we, Xing
In order to save a concubine Lou who has nothing to do with the overall situation, the palace is willing to take the risk of being misunderstood as a traitor? Who will believe him? "
Zhu Si nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense. Only we know it. This is an effort to allow Mr. Tang to stay in Prince Xing's Mansion with peace of mind. No one would believe that we would save a Princess Ning who has nothing to do with us.
"
Zhu Hao looked at Zhu Si: "Then do you want to send someone to help Mr. Tang fulfill his lifelong wish?"
"This...if you can plan it, I think it's feasible, but it's best not to make it public...then...who should I let go?"
Zhu Si was obviously tempted.
Saving Lou Suzhen not only fulfilled his chivalrous dream, but also fulfilled his teacher Tang Yin, and saved himself a peerless talent who was about to leave... No matter how you think about it, this business is not a loss.
Of course, it's mainly about children's playfulness.
If Zhu Si were a few years older, Zhu Hao would never tell him such a thankless stupid thing. It would be in vain. It is just because Zhu Si is young now and his thoughts are easily influenced by outsiders. This is convenient.
Zhu Hao took action.
Zhu Hao said: "Then let's give this plan a name... Well, let's call it the 'Save Bohu Plan'. You are the person in charge, and I am the commander... As for the executor... I leave it to Mr. Tang to make friends.
