"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Why should you choose to work with me? Even putting aside the various contradictions between you and me in the past, with the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should understand the dangers of my future prospects...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cooperates with me like this, aren't you afraid of sinking ships together in the future? ”

When asking, a trace of solemnity and seriousness flashed on Zhao Junchen's face, which was completely different from the casual attitude just now.

It seems that after such a question and answer, Zhao Junchen seems to have been gradually persuaded by the crown prince Zhu and Yu, so he still wants to get more sincerity and commitment from the prince Zhu and Yu.

Noticing the change in Zhao Junchen's attitude, Zhu Heyu's expression couldn't help but flash a hint of joy, and he still answered the question fluently, and immediately said: "There are many reasons, first of all, because of the influence of Mr. Zhao Shancai before his death, he has always tried his best to resolve the hostility between you and me and promote the cooperation between you and me, I naturally believe in his vision and judgment......

And then because I have clearly seen the changes in Zhao Gechen during this time - I had conflicts with Zhao Gechen at the beginning, not only because of my lack of mind and vision, but also because some of Zhao Gechen's actions have indeed harmed the court and the people, but Zhao Gechen is now an indispensable pillar in the temple, and all kinds of practices are also beneficial to the people......

The last and most important reason is because I have seriously thought about several achievements of Zhao Gechen in recent years, and found that Zhao Gechen has been using the means of change to do your best to change the disadvantages of the imperial court, and I also think that the current situation of the imperial court has reached the point where it is indispensable, so the goals of you and I are exactly the same......

Therefore, Zhao Gechen's current situation is certainly a bit dangerous, but it is still the best choice in my mind, as long as you and I can work together, there is hope to overcome any danger! I also hope that Zhao Gechen can trust my sincerity, and all my decisions have been deliberated for a long time...... As for the past contradictions between you and me, let it be completely revealed. ”

Zhu Heyu's answer is still full of gushing and sounding sincere.

On the other hand, after hearing Zhu Heyu's answer, Zhao Junchen seemed to be more and more excited and satisfied.

*

But in fact, from the beginning of this conversation, Zhu Heyu's words, deeds and performances did not exceed Zhao Junchen's expectations, and Zhao Junchen did not fully trust Zhu Heyu's answer.

After all, if the three questions raised by Zhao Junchen before and after are summed up, they are to test the position, determination, and sincerity of the crown prince Zhu Heyu respectively.

Since Zhu Heyu visited Zhao Junchen this time to seek an alliance, he naturally had a plan for these questions, and his answers were all long-winded, logical, sincere, and convincing, and they were obviously carefully prepared and well thought out.

It is precisely because Zhu Heyu is well prepared that Zhao Junchen will not fully believe his answers.

But Zhao Junchen still raised these three questions one after another, not to waste time, but to test Zhu Heyu's changes, collect some information, and make Zhu Heyu think that everything is under control, and then lower his vigilance - when the time comes, Zhao Junchen will take the opportunity to ask a question that will inevitably catch him off guard.

Compared with before, Zhu Heyu has indeed become a lot more mature, but this change is mainly due to his personality and the city, but his scheming and calculation cannot be completely evolved in a short period of time.

After all, whether a person's scheming is strong or weak is mainly due to the person's experience, experience, intelligence, and so on, and it is not something that can be seen overnight.

In this field, Zhu Heyu also has made significant progress, but compared to an experienced veteran like Zhao Junchen, he still shows flaws from time to time!

At this time, seeing Zhao Junchen's reaction, a trace of happiness flashed in the depths of Zhu Heyu's eyes, and he was also very satisfied with his performance, only feeling that his hard work was not in vain, and his alliance with Zhao Junchen was about to be reached.

At this time, Zhao Junchen asked again: "Just listening to this answer, you can understand that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has completely matured...... But I don't know, have you revealed your determination and position to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince? ”

Regarding this question, Zhu Heyu still had a conclusion, and replied directly: "No!" For me, enlisting Zhao Gechen's support is the most important thing now, and everything in the future depends on Zhao Gechen's attitude! Therefore, before receiving Zhao Gechen's reply, I did not inform my father and seventh brother of the change in my position...... In the eyes of the two of them, all my actions were just a death throes before I completely surrendered to my fate! ”

"Most of His Royal Highness the Prince's supporters are clear streams of the government and the opposition, but their relationship with me is not very good, and even full of hostility, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cooperates with me, aren't you afraid that those clear streams will be dissatisfied and turn their backs on you?"

"Regarding this, Zhao Gechen doesn't have to worry at all, since you led the border army to defeat the Mongol coalition army, your reputation of the government and the opposition has improved a lot! What's more, after Zhao Gechen and the Cui family got married, Cui Ge Lao must be happy to see me and Zhao Gechen join forces! Although Cui Ge Lao has already told the old man, he was also the leader of the Qingliu and has a high prestige, as long as I and Cui Ge Lao speak for Zhao Gechen together, it is not impossible for Zhao Gechen's reputation to completely change......

Speaking of this, Zhu Heyu suddenly smiled bitterly again, and continued: "What's more, since the seventh brother he gradually walked to the forefront, the Qingliu seem to be more willing to accept him, compared to my past nothing, the seventh brother is undoubtedly more able to let the Qingliu show their ambitions, I am only the nominal leader of the Qingliu now, in fact, I have been gradually abandoned by the Qingliu...... Moreover, even if I can still get the support of the Qinglius, I will still unswervingly turn enemies into friends and reach cooperation with Zhao Gechen, this is my final decision, and it is impossible to change! ”

After getting such an answer, Zhao Junchen had a smile on his face, and seemed to be more and more satisfied with Zhu Heyu's attitude.

Speaking of this, Zhu Heyu looked at Zhao Junchen with blazing eyes, and asked expectantly, "What questions does Zhao Gechen have?" Are you satisfied with my statement? ”

In Zhu Heyu's view, Zhao Junchen was obviously completely inclined to form an alliance with him.

But at this time, Zhao Junchen had a glint in his eyes, and suddenly mentioned something that Zhu Heyu hadn't thought of at all.

I saw that Zhao Junchen's tone suddenly became more aggressive, and said: "In this case, I naturally believe in the sincerity of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am also willing to turn enemies into friends and reach cooperation with His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as it is ...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are willing to answer my last question honestly, and promise me one last condition!

As far as I know, before Zhao Shancai died of illness, he left a suicide note for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? And the content of this secret letter is about a certain plan and tells you something, right? And all your decisions and practices during this period of time have also been influenced by the content of this secret letter, but is this so?

As for my conditions, that is, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can hand over this secret letter of Zhao Shancai to me for observation, and I want to know its specific contents! ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Zhu Heyu's body was suddenly shocked and his complexion changed dramatically!
