Chapter 222: Negotiation

When Zhu Gui heard Zhu Jixi's words, he was obviously unhappy. For a moment, he even thought that the other person was also a 'traveler'. Otherwise, how could an eight-year-old child say such a thing?

But he soon felt relieved. After all, he is a descendant of the royal family, so it is understandable that his knowledge is very different from that of ordinary children.

So Zhu Gui immediately asked his servants to bring him a chair, and then he sat opposite Zhu Jixi and said: "Speaking of which, I can be regarded as your imperial uncle. The current situation in Taiyuan is unstable. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I

As one of the managers, naturally we cannot turn a blind eye."

Zhu Gui's words made Zhu Jixi fall into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and said: "My father is not as broad-minded as the emperor, but I am willing to believe what the emperor said, because this country is used by the emperor and the others.

It was built with blood and sweat, and it is natural for us, the younger generation, to maintain it."

Zhu Jixi's words made Zhu Gui's eyes light up. This boy had such knowledge at such a young age. He simply didn't know how many times better than the original Zhu Gui.

"Very good. Since you can have this realization, I am willing to recommend you to the emperor to take over your father's title. I hope you can make a difference here."

Zhu Gui said to Zhu Jixi.

When Zhu Jixi heard this, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists and said to Zhu Gui: "If the emperor really allows his nephew to take over the throne of the Jin Dynasty, he will definitely repay the favor and live up to his trust. It's just that

…”

Halfway through Zhu Jixi's words, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he could tell at a glance that there seemed to be some difficulty.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I will not tell anyone else." Zhu Gui promised.

Zhu Jixi hesitated again and again, and finally shouted all the servants around him out. Then he said to Zhu Gui seriously: "If the emperor really wants to help his nephew take power, he must let his mother and queen leave Taiyuan."

.”

"Your mother?" When Zhu Gui heard Zhu Jixi's words, his mind couldn't help but think of the Xie she had just met in Prince Jin's Mansion, who could also be said to be his sister-in-law.

The other party looked like an iceberg that told strangers not to enter, but it didn't make Zhu Gui any alert. Could it be that she had another face?

Zhu Jixi nodded and continued: "Uncle, you should have met my queen mother, right? But I'm afraid you don't know her well enough. When my father was here, she was very ambitious and controlling, and now my father

No more, she originally wanted to take us brothers and sisters back to her natal home, all because the situation in Taiyuan City is no longer controllable."

"But once the queen mother finds out that my uncle can allow me to inherit the throne of the Jin Dynasty, she will probably deny my rights because I am too young. In this way, I really can't do anything, and the queen mother is very suspicious.

, I’m afraid I won’t easily accept the emperor’s opinion.”

Zhu Jixi's remarks made Zhu Gui couldn't help but look at him twice. It had to be said that it was well-founded and well-organized, and it was hard to imagine that this detailed analysis was coming from the mouth of an eight-year-old child.

However, Zhu Gui was just surprised, and then nodded after thinking for a while and said: "Although this matter is not difficult, it still requires some operations. After all, even if you can coax your mother to return to her parents' home, once she learns the truth, she will

Return to Taiyuan, and the power of the Xie family is also very important."

When Zhu Jixi heard Zhu Gui's words, not only was he not disappointed, but his eyes shone with light.

Obviously, if Zhu Gui agreed to his conditions so easily, it would make him doubt whether the other party was deceiving him. And now what Zhu Gui said is the truth, which shows that the other party's words are not without purpose.

.

So the two of them started discussing quietly in the room.

It wasn't until half an hour later that there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Xu Miaoqing's voice came in: "Your Majesty, it's time for evening tea."

Xu Miaoqing was reminding Zhu Gui that although Jin Princess Xie was aware of it, it was hard to say anything.

The two of them entered the house with their servants, and saw Zhu Gui and Zhu Jixi discussing something with a book.

"Mom, you're here." When Zhu Jixi saw Mrs. Xie, he immediately stood up and greeted her, showing great respect.

Princess Xie of Jin nodded, then looked at Zhu Gui and said: "I wonder where King Jin will live? Although this Prince Jin's mansion is dilapidated, there are still extra rooms. If King Dai doesn't dislike it, he wants to live there.

It doesn’t matter how long it takes.”

Although there was no emotion in Princess Jin's voice, Zhu Gui still felt a chill. It seemed that even though he had shown enough sincerity, the other party was still wary of him.

Could it be that this princess had heard anything about the death of Prince Jin?

But no matter what, Zhu Gui still didn't want to stay here, so he said: "Thank you Mrs. Wang, but I still have some things to deal with outside, and I will leave Taiyuan in the next two days. Regarding the memorial,

It will also be done together.”

When Princess Jin heard the 'Memorial', a strange expression flashed across her face. It seemed that she still had great doubts about Zhu Gui's previous remarks, but since it was the other party's good intentions, and to her,

It's also a harmless thing, so I won't refuse.

"Well, since the King has said so, I won't try to keep him. There has been some chaos in the mansion recently, and many servants have been dismissed. I still need to find some people to come back."

Princess Jin directly issued an eviction order.

Xu Miaoqing and Zhu Jixi on the side were both a little surprised by the speed of Princess Jin's fall out, but for Zhu Gui's sake they did not get angry.

Zhu Gui didn't say anything, but took Xu Miaoqing directly out of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Once outside, Xu Miaoqing couldn't hold it in any longer.

"This Princess Jin is so arrogant. Prince Jin is already dead. We are here to help her today. Why does she still have such an attitude?"

"Okay, don't be angry, I will take you to eat delicious food."

Zhu Gui pulled Xu Miaoqing into the carriage and returned to Zuixian Tower.

Then he asked his bodyguard to go to the street and buy some local Taiyuan snacks for Xu Miaoqing.

Xu Miaoqing finally lost some of her anger.

Zhu Gui also summoned all his personal guards and informants, asking them to pay attention to the movements in Taiyuan City while also monitoring and infiltrating the Jin Palace.

But before he had finished the arrangements, Gongsun Ming had already come to his door.

Although Zhu Gui was a little strange, he dismissed the others and met him.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, something big has happened."

Gongsun Ming said eagerly as soon as he saw Zhu Gui.

"What's the big deal?"

Seeing Gongsun Ming's anxious face covered with sweat, Zhu Gui asked immediately.

"There was a mutiny among soldiers in the Guards barracks."
