Chapter 20: Above the Court
Zhu Changluo stared at Guo Zhiyuan with burning eyes to see how he reacted, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly put the chess pieces in his hand and stood up, bowed to Zhu Changluo and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is no chess game in the world that must be won, only if you know how to stop at the right time, can you be invincible!" Now that the prince has understood that the truth of the demon book case is no longer important, then there is no need to play this chess game again, as for my pawn, whether to use it or not, whether it can be useful, isn't it all in the mind of His Royal Highness the Prince? ……”。
Zhu Changluo frowned, Guo Zhiyuan's words were plausible, neither directly rejected his solicitation, nor did he make clear his allegiance, but he didn't know what to do with Guo Zhiyuan for a while, he pondered for a while, suddenly broke the chessboard with his hand, and laughed: "There is no chess game in the world that must be won, but the palace is in the picture, okay, this chess will be played here, you tell me what to do next, right?" ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan quietly wiped a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "There are two most important things at the moment, first, the Demon Book case involves the most sensitive national capital dispute in the Holy Lord, and we must find a scapegoat as soon as possible to calm down the political turmoil caused by this case." Leave this matter to the kid to solve! Second, ask the prince to recommend to the Holy Lord the case of the eunuch Princess Chen Gong, who is the master of ceremonies, so that he can not only show goodwill to the eunuch forces represented by Chen Changgong, but also let my father get ...... grievances."
Zhu Changluo nodded and said with a smile: "You are very calculating, the palace will take on some responsibilities and mediate for Guo Shilang, Guo Shilang is so blessed to give birth to such a good son ...... you with exquisite thoughts."
Speaking of this, he suddenly put away his smile and said sharply: "It's just that you have to be careful about this matter of finding a scapegoat, and you must not make any mistakes, otherwise you will blame the palace for turning its face and being ruthless!" ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan had already recognized Zhu Changluo's true face, this guy turned his face faster than turning a book, and hurriedly pretended to be very frightened and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the kid will handle this matter properly, and there will be no ......mistakes."
Zhu Changluo nodded with satisfaction, re-showed a gentle smile, and waved his hand: "As long as you work hard for the palace, the palace will not treat you badly, so you can step down!" ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan secretly slandered himself, Zhu Changluo's carrot and stick trick was too old-fashioned, and he sent himself away with a sentence of "I won't treat you badly" without expense, Shen Cheng also promised himself an official body, but he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face, saluted respectfully, and slowly retreated.
Just after Guo Zhiyuan disappeared into the palace gate, the warm smile on Zhu Changluo's face disappeared, replaced by a weird sneer, the gaze in his eyes was like a resolute, cold, and vicious poisonous snake, which was deeply dormant in the ice cave and suddenly poked his head out, muttering to himself: "I know when to fight hard and when to give in, if this son can't be used by me, he will become a big trouble!" But this son still has some use now, and keep him, and when the palace is in power, he will be killed! ”。
Guo Zhiyuan didn't know that he had been remembered by the future Son of Heaven, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he left the palace gate, it seems that the cheap father's fate was saved, because in the end, it was the prince who came forward and said "Why kill me to be a good official" to save Guo Zhengyu's life, but at that time, Guo Zhengyu was already in prison and tortured by Shen Zhengyu and his gang to make it look like a person.
From the very beginning, Guo Zhiyuan did not have the luxury of hoping that he could change history all at once with his little butterfly, if what he did was to promote history and let history accelerate on the original trajectory, so as to win the first hand for himself on the road of future development.
Zhao Shizhen was also relieved to see Guo Zhiyuan come out safely, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Guo Gongzi, the prince promised to help Guo Shilang exonerate, right?" I said a long time ago that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and virtuous, and he will not sit idly by and watch Guo Shilang's ......."
Guo Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Shizhen, who was a tendon, and was a little speechless, but this firearms expert is now a "baby bump" in Guo Zhiyuan's eyes, and he must be recruited, so he patted Zhao Shizhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time, and one day you will understand who is really worthy of your loyalty, this level is passed, but don't forget that the assassin who assassinated you has not been found, it is better to keep an eye on ......it."
On the morning of the second day, Emperor Wanli sat on the dragon chair in a golden dragon robe, with the majesty and domineering of the emperor, with a calm and solemn face, but there was a trace of imperceptible anxiety in his eyebrows. Zhu Changluo, the prince of the lower ranks, and Shen Shen, the first assistant, have always led a group of ministers on both sides, both of them are looking at their noses and noses, and they don't know what they are pondering, except for Shen Li, the second assistant of the cabinet, who was placed under house arrest for being involved in the demon book case, the other ministers of the DPRK and China have basically arrived, but recently the demon book case has been in an uproar, and they are all in danger, all of them bow their heads and are silent, like a group of frosted quails.
Emperor Wanli glanced at the ministers, frowned, threw a few books in his hand on the table, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Aiqing, it has been some time since I ordered you to take charge of the demon book case, but what progress has there been?" ”。
Shen Yi's body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "Qi Shengshang, the old minister was ordered to take charge of the demon book case, and now he has eyebrows, and he has arrested a cadre of prisoners and sent them to prison, and now he is stepping up the interrogation, Guo Zhengyu, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has a major suspicion, but the case of this demon book case is a little complicated, Guo Zhengyu is very stubborn, and he will not admit his guilt, and please ask the saint to give some time to the past, and the old minister will be able to find out the truth about this case!" ……”。
Emperor Wanli frowned, as if he was a little displeased, and was about to speak, when Zhu Changluo, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, bowed down and said: "Father, Shen Xiang has worked hard for the affairs of the court and China, and he is really a model for my generation, but after all, he is old and his energy is limited. ……”。
As soon as Zhu Changluo spoke, everyone was taken aback, you must know that although Zhu Changluo is the crown prince, he knows that Emperor Wanli does not like him, he has always been very low-key, and rarely expresses his opinions in the court.
The most surprising thing is that Shen Yiyi, although Zhu Changluo is the crown prince, but in terms of real power in his hands, he is far from being able to compare with him, the first assistant, so on weekdays, Zhu Changluo sees him and concedes three points, but now he openly jumps out to fight with himself, do you really think you are old? A cold light flashed in Shen Yi's eyes!
