Chapter 33: First Encounter with Wei Zhongxian
Zhu Hao, who couldn't figure it out, waved his hand to let several people retreat, leaving Gongsun Ce alone, and after everyone else left, Zhu Hao asked: "Gongsun, do you think they have done everything for the prince this time?" ”
The reason why Zhu Hao asked this is because he is still a little uneasy, he is afraid that the few people who went out to search will be perfunctory, and he does not care, for the loyal Gongsun Ce and Shi Qian, Zhu Hao is still very relieved, Wei Xiaobao's loyalty is also as high as 98, and there is no big problem, the key to the problem is Xie Gang, whose loyalty is only 50, and the main force of this search is Xie Gang's Praetorian Guard, if Xie Gang is not careful, then this search is equivalent to no search.
Although Gongsun Ce didn't know about loyalty, as soon as he heard Zhu Hao's words, his heart was like a mirror, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "Actually, what His Highness wants to ask is Commander Xie, right?" Commander Xie was still very dedicated to this search, but he had a lot of complaints about the ministers, thinking that this matter should be commanded by him, and it was enough to hand it over to him directly to the Praetorian Guards, thinking that the ministers and others were redundant and useless people participating in this search. ”
Zhu Hao secretly sneered in his heart and couldn't help scolding: "Xie Gang, this bastard, doesn't know unity at all, he only knows that he is in a high position and has to listen to him for everything!" This mixed thing! The loyalty of these 50 is really unreliable TNND! ”
Although Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, he also knew that the only one he could command and have the ability to search on such a large scale was Xie Gang, and at this moment Zhu Hao had an idea in his heart, that is, he must form a team of people he can trust, first, he can't rely too much on Xie Gang, and second, this can also be balanced against Xie Gang, and the method of balance can make these talents stable and united, otherwise Xie Gang's family is dominant like now, I'm afraid that he may really not be able to command in the future, which is not the result he wants.
Just when Zhu Hao was thinking in his heart, a report came from outside the palace: "The prince's servant asks to see the fifth prince!" ”
When Zhu Hao heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "I really haven't visited my eldest brother during this time, this is all to make the fire case troublesome, don't let your eldest brother hate yourself because of these, otherwise after your eldest brother ascends the throne, your good life will come to an end!" ”
Thinking like this, Zhu Hao hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite him in!" ”
As Zhu Hao's voice fell, his chamberlain brought into the room a eunuch who looked like he was in his thirties, only to see that this eunuch was also a clear eyebrow, and there was a trace of bookish air on his body, but there was a touch of ruthlessness and coldness in his eyes that was not easy to be noticed, after Zhu Hao came to the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs in the harem had seen not thousands of people, but they had never seen a person who had the posture of a eunuch today, and secretly said in his heart: "This person should not be a nameless!" ”
Just when Zhu Hao was thinking like this in his heart, the eunuch knelt on the ground and said: "The slave was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to meet the five princes, and I wish the five princes good health!" ”
Zhu Hao looked at the eunuch with a smile and said, "You are the person next to my eldest brother, that is your own person, get up and talk back!" ”
After the eunuch stood up, Zhu Hao spoke again: "This father-in-law doesn't know what you call it?" My eldest brother asked you to come, do you have something to tell this prince? Zhu Hao took the opportunity to ask the name of the eunuch to see if he knew which historical celebrity he was, if he could find a way to collect it for his own use, after all, his eldest brother had a real person by his side, which would be of great benefit to himself!
When the eunuch heard this, he knelt down again and said: "If you go back to the fifth prince, the slave is named Wei Zhongxian, you can just call me Xiao Weizi!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the minions to come ......"
Zhu Hao didn't hear the second half of Wei Zhongxian's sentence at all, because the impact of Wei Zhongxian's three words was too great for Zhu Hao, and he never thought that the beautiful looking man in front of him, showing a kind smile to himself, like a Confucian person, would be the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who would cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty in the future and plant the seeds of destruction for the Ming Dynasty. To be honest, Zhu Hao was really unbelievable, this was many times greater for him than when he first heard Wei Zhongxian's self-introduction.
But since this person said that he was Wei Zhongxian, it shouldn't be wrong, Zhu Hao didn't believe that there would be two eunuchs named Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty during this period, and the probability was lower than the probability of winning the lottery. After confirming that the person in front of him was the future eunuch Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Hao couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: "TNND Lao Tzu is still very weak and kill him directly?" Save him the opportunity to harm my Ming dynasty in the future! ”
However, Zhu Hao finally rejected this idea, because in history, his eldest brother trusted Wei Zhongxian very much, which would give Wei Zhongxian the power to harm the Ming Dynasty, and now his eldest brother does not know how much he trusts Wei Zhongxian, and if he kills Wei Zhongxian now, it is very likely that the gains outweigh the losses. What's more, even if he seems to have a good relationship with his eldest brother now, but if he really kills Wei Zhongxian, no matter whether the eldest brother attaches importance to Wei Zhongxian or not, this is a kind of humiliation for the eldest brother who is the prince, although the eldest brother is cowardly, and the father is still alive, he may not embarrass himself at the moment, but if after the father hangs up, the eldest brother ascends to the throne, and there is a queen Guo who hates herself to the bone behind him, I am afraid that the eldest brother will really settle accounts with himself after the autumn!
Thinking of such a picture, Zhu Hao couldn't help but shudder, and said secretly in his heart: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Xiao Weizi, you have now entered Lao Tzu's sight, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, Lao Tzu looks at you every day, what kind of waves can you stir up!" ”
In the East Palace, the prince rarely asked Wei Zhongxian to kneel, but at this moment, because Zhu Hao fell into contemplation, Wei Zhongxian kept kneeling on the ground, he really had some back pain and almost wanted to fall, so Wei Zhongxian had to open his mouth and remind Zhu Hao: "The fifth prince ......"
As Wei Zhongxian spoke, Zhu Hao recovered from his contemplation and hurriedly said, "Huh? Forehead! Oh, just now the prince was distracted, what did you just say? What did my big brother ask you to do? ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't believe that Zhu Hao was unintentionally distracted at this moment, and he wouldn't have thought that just because his name would give Zhu Hao such a big impact, he just thought that Zhu Hao was deliberately embarrassing him, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Hao, revealing a trace of ruthlessness that was not easy to detect, of course he didn't know, but all this was seen in the eyes of Zhu Hao, who had a keen sense of insight.
Although Zhu Hao saw the cruelty in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, he didn't say anything, and he didn't care in his heart, it was not that he didn't attach importance to Wei Zhongxian, but because Wei Zhongxian was just a eunuch no matter how he said it, even if he was capable, his rights came from the royal family, and he was able to finally become a "nine thousand years old" above ten thousand people under one person was also because the royal people neglected to guard against him.
It's like if a person has the ability to be a prophet and knows where he goes, he will lose his wallet, so how can this person lose his wallet if he doesn't take his wallet with him, or if he doesn't go to that place at all?
This is actually a truth, now that Zhu Hao knows that Wei Zhongxian will harm Daming in the future, then Wei Zhongxian is guarded against everywhere, how can Wei Zhongxian have the opportunity to harm Daming.
Zhu Hao's unexpected appearance will definitely not let the notorious "nine thousand years old" in history reappear in the world.
Although Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhu Hao dissatisfied, he still said honestly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, let the servants send two gadgets to the five princes, and at the same time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also asked the servants to tell the five princes that they miss the five princes, so that the five princes have time to go to His Royal Highness to sit there." Saying that, Wei Zhongxian took out two exquisite wood carvings and handed them to Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao pretended to be very happy, excitedly took the wood carving, and played with it in his hand for a long time, only then he looked down and found that Wei Zhongxian was still kneeling on the ground, so he smiled and said: "Little Weizi, why are you still kneeling, hurry up!" It's said that it's your own people, don't be polite! ”
Then he continued to play with the wood carving in his hand, and after a while, he spoke again and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Xiao Weizi, you go back and tell me to fight, these two gifts are very popular with the prince, and the prince of tomorrow will definitely go to thank you in person!" ”
After Wei Zhongxian got Zhu Hao's words, he hurriedly said: "The slave must convey the words of the fifth prince to His Royal Highness!" Slaves retreat! ”
Listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Hao still pretended to lower his head, playing with the wood carving in his hand, and did not look up at Wei Zhongxian again, and then waved his hand, meaning to let Wei Zhongxian retreat.
After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "Although this person can be hidden, his joy and anger can still be seen, I don't know if this person is so shallow, or because he hasn't sharpened it yet, no matter how you look at it, I feel that in history, the "nine thousand years old" that makes people feel frightened when they listen to it should not be as unbearable as the person in front of them!" ”
Although Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, he was not paralyzed, but immediately sent Shi Qian, asking Shi Qian to closely monitor Wei Zhongxian, and report to him as soon as there was any trouble. Shi Qian took the order, and Wei Zhongxian, who was walking towards the East Palace with a look of disgrief on his face at this moment, didn't know that he had been closely monitored by Zhu Hao.
And Zhu Hao didn't know that Wei Zhongxian's evaluation of him was diametrically opposed to his evaluation of Wei Zhongxian: "The five princes are unfathomable, seemingly simple, but they are actually good at hiding, like a hidden dragon in the abyss, ready to go, not deep friendship, should be avoided, so as not to hurt themselves!" ”
A busy day passed like this, Lu Ban didn't find it, but unexpectedly let Zhu Hao discover Wei Zhongxian. At the same time, the wood carvings brought by Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao's words also reminded Zhu Hao that he would definitely go to the East Palace tomorrow and go on a journey.
It's night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and there is nothing to say all night.
