A few days later......

Wang Zhizheng's illness improved, so he let Zhou Gong and Zhou Cheng support him and wander in his garden. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt is the season of spring flowers, and the flowers are beautiful.

Wang Zhizheng sat on the bridge holding a copy of the Book of Songs, watching the murmuring of the stream, the goldfish were frolicking and swimming, and Mrs. Ruan, who was accompanying her on the side, was also accompanying her husband to watch the fish leisurely. The husband and wife are harmonious, raising their eyebrows and respecting each other.

Zhou Gong and Zhou Cheng fished out two goldfish from time to time with a net on the side, which were released by Wang Zhizheng and his wife.

was playing here, and the next person came to report: "Young master, I believe that the prince has come to see you." ”

Believe in the king. Wang Zhizheng was secretly shocked in his heart, I haven't seen this future son of heaven yet. So he stood up and turned around and waited. Madame Ruan hurriedly avoided it.

At this time, I saw a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a long body and a jade body, and his clothes were not gorgeous, but he was full of luxury, graceful, with a face like a crown of jade, handsome and pretty. But between the handsome eyebrows, there is a faint depression and unhappiness for a walk. The corners of the mouth are slightly raised, revealing the meanness and stubbornness of the character.

Although this king of letters is from a noble background, but his fate is not good, when he was very young, because of the harem for favor, his biological mother was given to death and raised by a concubine. Later, his father succeeded to the throne, and after reigning for only one month, he suddenly died violently, and then his eldest brother Emperor Tianqi became emperor. But the two brothers have always been at odds. There were few contacts, and the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian controlled the dynasty and persecuted all the children of the imperial family. King Xin also almost died a few times at the hands of Wei Zhongxian's minions.

A young man who looks like this environment is full of a characteristic of being defensive against everyone from the depths of his heart, he is afraid, but he wants to pretend that nothing happened, he is guarded, but he pretends to be close, he may be persecuted to death at any time, he has lived without any sense of security from birth to the present, let alone any anger!

A teenager who is less than twenty years old, in the sinister of the court, becomes depressed, painful, frightened, and even a little psychologically deformed.

His face wore a look of old age and depression that did not match his actual age.

Wang Zhi was struggling to salute King Xin, and King Xin patted him on the shoulder: "Cousin, sit down." I heard you're getting better, so I'm here to see you. Wang Zhizheng looked at it for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "Cousin, why are you looking at me like this? Is there anything wrong?" Wang Zhizheng smiled awkwardly: "No." It's just that I haven't seen the prince for many days, and I still have some worries in my heart. ”

King Xin sighed and said, "I thought that Brother Wang would not be able to survive this pass this time, but I was really worried, and I was relieved to see that you were recovering well." ”

Wang Zhizheng saw that King Xin's Zhu Youzhen was worried and frowned, so he asked: "Lord, I think you seem to have something on your mind?" King Xin nodded: "I won't tell you, the imperial brother has issued an edict and is ready to order me this year."

The so-called "domain" is to divide the underage prince into a fief, and when he reaches adulthood, let him go from the capital to the feudal country, if there is no special purpose, he is not allowed to return to Beijing privately, if he is not favored by the emperor, it is very likely that he will not be allowed to return to Beijing again for the rest of his life.

Wang Zhizheng thought for a while and said: "Wouldn't it be better to go to the feudal country, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so as not to be afraid all day long and be framed by Wei Zhongxian." ”

King Xin hurriedly covered his mouth, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, don't mention him at home, some time ago, the eldest princess's son was arrested and tortured to death in Dongchang the next day because he complained about that person at home!"

Wang Zhizheng saw King Xin's frightened face, and knew how insecure he was in his heart!

Wang Zhizheng nodded.

King Xin lowered his voice and said: "If you go to the feudal country, it is a dead end, I still have some power in the capital, of course there is still some hope for self-preservation." When I arrived in the feudal country, the mountains and rivers were far away, and he wanted to harm me, he only needed to send a Dongchang killer, and one person could kill me!

Wang Zhizheng listened and nodded: "The prince is reasonable. ”

King Xin continued: "I really can't find an excuse for no, you help me plan and plan, how can I avoid this catastrophe!"

Wang Zhizheng's predecessor, Bai Jiazi, was able to make good decisions, and he had fully understood the current form before he went down.

He said to the king, "Let us go to the secret room and talk." ”

The two hid in the secret room of the Chongguo Mansion.

As a state mansion, it is not uncommon to have a secret room, and many shady transactions are done in the secret room. Entered the dark and damp chamber. Zhu Youzhen immediately knelt on the ground and sighed: "I didn't expect that as a dignified prince, I would have to hide in this ghost place to talk."

Wang Zhizheng smiled: "Where is the time to complain now." Do you know why Wei Zhongxian is suspicious of you?"

King Xin looked at him with interest: "I would like to hear about it"

Wang Zhizheng said, "Because he is not sure about you." Now that the Son of Heaven is in the reign of the Son of Heaven and is in the prime of life, of course it is fine. But if the Son of Heaven does not have a biological son now, if there are three elders and two shorts, you are the heir who best meets the standards. The future heir will decide the fate of his Wei Zhongxian. He doesn't know if you inherit it, and he doesn't know if you inherit it, it's a blessing or a curse for him. ”

Shin nodded approvingly.

Wang Zhizheng continued: "Think about it again, Wei Zhongxian wants to ensure his glory and wealth, what kind of master does he want, and it is beneficial to him?"

King Shin said, "Of course I listen to him." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and sneered: "What's the use of being obedient, what he wants is a marionette!"

King Xin suddenly realized: "Brother Wang means to let me pretend to be crazy and stupid?"

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said, "Yes." Not only do you have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but you also have to be ridiculous, even more ridiculous than the current emperor!"

King Xin pondered: "But I have always been like this, and suddenly it becomes ridiculous, doesn't it make him even more suspicious?"

Wang Zhizheng said: "Therefore, there must be a reason. Let him not only reassure you, but also reassure you that you will not pose a threat to him, and there is no reason to pose a threat to him. "King Xin followed Wang Zhizheng's thinking: "If you have any ideas, Brother Wang, just say it." ”

Wang Zhizheng said: "My father has now built a shrine for Wei Xian, and has shown his loyalty to him, Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed to know it, and personally visited the ancestral hall, and praised my father for his loyalty and knowledge of current affairs, and rewarded my father with countless gold, silver and jewelry. I took this opportunity to express my defection to Wei Zhongxian, and he would definitely trust me. At that time, I will show him your attitude, Lord Wang. ”

When the king heard this, he did not immediately express his approval, but hesitated.

King Xin suddenly had no idea in his heart at this moment, and stared at Wang Zhizheng as if he didn't know him: This Wang Zhizheng, who knew him since he was a child, has always been a flying eagle walking dogs, and a gentleman who touches flowers and grass, why does it look like a different person today. How can he hide so deeply, or is he seriously ill and penetrating the philosophy of the world? Can I believe him? Since he is so deep in the city, will he sell it and count the money for him?

hesitated for a moment, allowing Wang Zhizheng to see the suspicious side of Zhu Youzhen's character.

Wang Zhizheng has been practicing for thousands of years, and every move of mortals, a small detail, how can it escape his eyes. He immediately guessed what King Shin was thinking.

King Xin was not at ease with him, he was not sure that Wang Zhizheng would pretend to take refuge in Wei Zhongxian, or sincerely plan for him.

But Wang Zhizheng didn't speak, but stared at his cousin Zhu Youzhen and waited for Zhu Youzhen's reaction. He knew that Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, had no choice, and he had to agree if he agreed, and he had to agree if he didn't agree. Because he had no choice but to take a gamble. If you win the bet, you can save your life, and you may even become a prince. If you lose, you will be betrayed by Wang Zhizheng, and there will be no place to bury you!

Finally, King Shin conceded defeat. He stood up, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands into fists and said to Wang Zhizheng: "Cousin, whether Zhu Youzhen is alive or dead, whether he is honored or lost, all of them are cousins!"

Wang Zhizheng hurriedly helped the king of letters: "Why does the prince need to be like this!
