On the same day, Zhao Hongxuan and the crown prince Zhao Hongli were talking, and the latter's staff Zhou Yu and Luo Ying came to the side hall. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When they saw Zhao Hongxuan, His Royal Highness King Huan, Zhou Yu and Luo Ying were a little surprised, after all, the Royal Highness of King Huan in front of them was someone who "shouldn't be" appear in the East Palace.

However, whether it was Zhou Yu or Luo Ying, they didn't say much, and after a simple greeting to each other, Zhou Yu asked about business.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I wonder if there has been a reply to what you said yesterday?"

"Why did you get a reply so quickly?" As soon as the crown prince Zhao Hongli heard Zhou Yu's words, he said with an irritated face.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face turned straight and said eagerly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter must not be delayed!" …… Yesterday, King Yong has expressed his willingness to hand over all the northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, if there is no movement on your side, the prince's side will be biased towards King Yong......"

"Hongu knows!" The crown prince Zhao Hongli interrupted Zhou Yu's words impatiently, with a look of annoyance, and said angrily: "You have to wait for the Wang family to discuss with those nobles, right?" At the very least, inform the other party......"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu said with a serious face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if it is delayed for a long time, even if we wait to hand over the proceeds to the imperial court at that time, the public opinion will no longer favor us...... The people of the country will think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reluctant. In addition, King Yong's people are obstructing it, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lose both people and money, not only will you not be able to keep the income of the northern Xinjiang, but also save the hearts of the people......"

"So what do you say?" Prince Zhao Hongli said impatiently.

I saw that Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said softly: "Chop first and then play......"

Before the words fell, Luo Ying interrupted in shock: "No! ”

"Why not?" Hearing this, Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Luo Ying, and said: "Luo Ying, the disaster is imminent and imminent, do you still have to embarrass Zhou because of selfishness?" …… Let's just return the "East Seat" to you, I hope you will focus on the overall situation! "Note: Dongxi, which means the chief officer; In the same way, the staff of the West Seat is equivalent to the second-in-command.

"You!" Luo Ying pointed at Zhou Yu and was speechless, and then held back her anger and sneered: "Who has selfish intentions, you and I know it in our hearts." …… You are not giving advice to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all, you are completely pushing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the fire pit! ”

"Joke!" Zhou Yu sneered twice and sneered: "You mean to say that this matter can be delayed?" Stupidity! The sooner this kind of thing is decided, the more it can reflect the sincerity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and if it is delayed for a few days, even if it is all donated, what is the use? Don't you understand this kind of reasoning?! ”

Luo Ying's ground color turned red.

I have to say that as the second place in Hong De's sixteen-year scientific examination, Luo Ying is extremely jealous of the same year scholar in front of him.

There is no doubt that Zhou Yu is definitely a far-sighted strategist on an equal footing with him Luo Ying, with sharp speech, vicious vision, and deep scheming, all of which are superior, and what is even worse is that this person is the best at yang conspiracy.

Take the matter of donation as an example, in fact, Luo Ying also feels that the East Palace must be donated, and the sooner this matter is done, the better, in this regard, he and Zhou Yu's opinions are the same.

But in Luo Ying's view, the premise of this matter is that an agreement must be reached with the nobles of the East Palace Party, at least to learn about the other party, and explain the difficulties of the East Palace to the other party, so as not to arouse the disgust of those nobles and families.

But this week, Zhou Yu obviously understands everything, but he just grasps the point of "solving it as soon as possible", forcing the prince of the East Palace to "cut first and then play", but Luo Ying can't catch Zhou Yu's handle.

seems to be this kind of trick to play conspiracy, even Luo Ying admires it in her heart.

He even wondered if Zhou Yu deliberately did not do well in the exam back then.

Of course, he misunderstood Zhou Yu on this point, after all, the scientific examination is only one of the criteria for measuring a person's talent, and a bad test does not mean that this person is really not talented.

For example, now Wen Qi, a doorman from Suwangfu, is still cheating in public in the scientific examination, and as a result, he was expelled from the year's results, do you dare to say that this person is not talented?

You must know this Wen Qi, but a few people who were not on the first list were all pushed to the first list, and the worst thing is that the officials of the Ministry of Rites didn't know about it, if it weren't for the palace exam, Wei Tianzi happened to point to a mediocre person who was helped by Wen Qi, no one knew that such a serious fraud incident occurred in the scientific examination.

As the culprit of the "Onzaki fraud case", who dares to say that Onzaki is not talented?

Therefore, the results of the scientific examination do not really represent the talent and talent of a scholar, and Zhou Yu did not do well in the examination that year, perhaps just because the invigilator who reviewed his examination paper did not like his essay.

And when Zhou Yu and Luo Ying were arguing, Zhao Hongxuan stood aside and watched, muttering secretly in his heart.

I have to say that Zhou Yu and Luo Ying have a point, as if they are both thinking about the prince of the East Palace.

But Zhao Hongxuan knew that Zhou Yu was the person of King Yong.

Because when Zhao Hongrun reminded him to stay away from the prince of the East Palace, he told him, in order to let him understand that although the prince seems to be beautiful and the momentum is overwhelming King Yong, in fact, he has always been in the palm of King Yong.

Zhao Hongxuan doesn't like this kind of conspiracy and trickery person, whether it is King Yong or the Zhou Yu in front of him, in his opinion, a man should be like his brother Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, no matter good or bad, all of them are on the table to speak!

It's a pity that he has an introverted personality and can't learn to be as sharp as his brother.

Suddenly, Luo Ying, who was arguing with Zhou Yu, closed his mouth suddenly, because he noticed the cold and disgusted look of Huan King Zhao Hongxuan when he looked at Zhou Yu.

At that moment, countless thoughts passed through Luo Ying's heart, and finally, he ended the quarrel with Zhou Yu and stood quietly between Zhao Hongxuan and Zhou Yu, so that Zhou Yu couldn't detect Zhao Hongxuan's look at him.

"Speechless, right?"

Zhou Yu looked very proud, he didn't see through Luo Ying's thoughts, he just thought that he was speechless again, and he was quite proud in his heart: What was the ranking of the scientific examination that year? He was far away from dozens of places, and he could still suppress Luo Ying, who was in second place, out of breath.

After secretly sneering twice, Zhou Yu turned to face the crown prince Zhao Hongli, and arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the prince, please make a decision early!" ”

The crown prince Zhao Hongli pondered for a while, finally nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then ...... So be it. Zhou Yu, this matter will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhou Yu smiled slightly, bowed and retreated.

Before leaving, he still didn't forget to provoke Luo Ying with his eyes vaguely, and Luo Ying was expressionless.

At this time, Zhao Hongxuan saw that Luo Ying was still standing in the side hall, but he didn't talk to the prince Zhao Hongli, so he would be wrong and leave with interest.

Unexpectedly, he just walked out of the palace gate not far away, and Luo Ying's voice came from behind him: "His Royal Highness King Huan, please stay." ”

Zhao Hongxuan glanced back, but saw Luo Ying coming in a hurry, and he didn't feel a little puzzled.

I saw Luo Ying glance at the guards around Zhao Hongxuan, and then said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Huan, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Biao and the other Zongwei frowned, although they were a little displeased, they still took the initiative to go away.

Seeing this, Luo Ying lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness King Huan, do you know that Zhou Yu is King Yong's person?" ”

Zhao Hongxuan was startled when he heard this, and pretended to be confused and said, "What is Mr. Luo talking about?" Mr. Zhou is the right-hand man of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Luo Ying smiled bitterly when she heard this, and then said with a straight face: "His Royal Highness King Huan, Luo wants to ask His Royal Highness King Huan for a favor." ”

Although Zhao Hongxuan is not as smart as Zhao Hongzhao and Zhao Hongrun, he is not stupid, he knew what Luo Ying meant when he heard it, and shook his head again and again and said: "Mr. Luo, this king can't help you in this matter." …… Otherwise, my brother would have beaten me to death. ”

"His Royal Highness King Su?" Luo Ying chuckled, and then led Zhao Hongxuan to walk around the garden of the East Palace, and said: "Yesterday, I heard from His Royal Highness the Prince, King Huan thinks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is superior to King Yong?" Is that because His Royal Highness King Huan wants to take charge of the Northern First Army? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan's face sank, and he frowned and said unhappily: "Mr. Luo's words have passed, does Mr. Luo think that this king is a flatterer?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongxuan was a little angry, Luo Ying was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile: "In other words, that is a heartfelt word?" ”

Zhao Hongxuan was stunned when he heard this, as if he had guessed something, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Luo, those words are indeed the words of this king, but this king will not interfere in the affairs of several imperial brothers. …… That's what I promised my brother. ”

Hearing this, Luo Ying let out a long sigh, and Gu Zuoyan said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's current situation ...... It's very worrying. He only stared at Zhou Yu, but ignored that there were still resourceful people on King Yong's side to give him advice...... Huangchi people, Zhang Qigong, have you heard of His Royal Highness King Huan? ”

"It seems to be the third place in the new section last year?" Zhao Hongxuan asked in surprise.

"Uh-huh." Luo Ying nodded, and then said: "I have met Zhang Qigong, this person was born in a family of public officials, under the shadow of his ancestors and his father, he served as a public official in Huangchi at the age of fifteen, and has served as a prison scribe and a judge scribe, compared with Zhou Yu, this person's scheming is more ruthless...... I'm worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't be able to survive this time. ”

"Is it that serious?" Zhao Hongxuan asked in surprise, "Hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already agreed to donate?" Although King Yong is a little late, it is not as Mr. said, right? ”

"It's just foreplay." Luo Ying looked at Zhao Hongxuan, and said: "Donation, it's just an introduction, the real ruthless move of King Yong's side hasn't been used yet...... Once King Yong starts to exert his strength, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to avoid this time, and he may be deprived of the title of Crown Prince......"

Zhao Hongxuan gasped in surprise and said in shock: "How is it possible?!" ”

"That's just the way it is." Luo Ying Zhengse said: "Zhou Yu and Zhang Qigong, my generation of scholars, don't use a knife to kill...... Although I have vaguely guessed the tricks of the two of them, but the East Palace is deceived by Zhou Yu, and I dare not reveal it, otherwise I will be startled. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Ying glanced at Zhao Hongxuan and said sincerely: "I heard that when the East Palace and His Royal Highness King Huan were in the northern Xinjiang, they were as close as brothers and sisters, could His Royal Highness bear to watch His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lose power?" ”

Zhao Hongxuan opened his mouth, hesitated and shook his head: "Mr. Luo, this king can't ......"

"Make a deal with Zaixia, His Royal Highness King Huan." Luo Ying interrupted Zhao Hongxuan's refusal, and Zhengse said: "If this matter can be done, not only can the East Palace be safe and sound, but it can even counteract King Yong; And His Royal Highness King Huan, you can also take this opportunity to truly take charge of the Northern First Army and establish prestige in the army. ”

“…… What does this have to do with the Northern First Army? Zhao Hongxuan was shocked and suspicious.

Luo Ying didn't think too much about it, and said with a smile: "If the East Palace falls, will the Northern First Army still be there?" ”

『……』

Zhao Hongxuan's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of his brother Zhao Hongrun's attitude yesterday.

"Let this king ...... Consider considering. ”

Zhao Hongxuan said with a frown. (To be continued.) )
