Chapter Seventy-Seven: You Lied!
Wang Xijue's eyes were full of expectation, and the old voice made Zhu Changluo slightly surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Concubine Zheng? Is that what they were for?
It's a bit naΓ―ve!
"The old man knows that His Royal Highness has always been hostile to the old man, but this time, please listen to the old man's persuasion once, His Royal Highness is still young, and some mistakes will be forgiven, presumably Your Majesty will not pursue it, the strength of those people is not something that His Highness can afford now!"
Wang Xijue's voice sounded again, but this time it was a little more tired, and at the same time a little expectant.
It stands to reason that Concubine Zheng's imminent reinstatement is a cabinet secret, and if it weren't for Zhang Cheng's will last night to come to the cabinet with the seal, I'm afraid even Wang Xijue wouldn't know about it.
He hoped that Zhu Changluo could understand that since they were able to reinstate Concubine Zheng, then this operation must have been planned, not so simple......
"Wang Ge Lao rest assured, those people may not be able to deal with Ge Lao, but this king may not be able to deal with it, Concubine Zheng's matter is indeed beyond my expectations, but ......"
Zhu Changluo smiled, revealing his white teeth, looking like a sunny big boy.
"Hasn't it been sent to the Ministry of Rites yet?"
Looking at the young man's understatement, Wang Xijue felt frustrated for the first time, he really didn't know where Zhu Changluo's inexplicable self-confidence came from.
"This matter is a matter of the harem, presumably the queen mother and the queen mother have their own plans, Chang Luo is inconvenient to say, but Chang Luo is even more curious, why is Wang Ge Lao so enthusiastic about Chang Luo?"
To be honest, Zhu Changluo was really puzzled.
Since Wang Xijue stepped into the mansion, he has been planning for him, and he doesn't look like a figure in Concubine Zheng's camp at all, but he is extremely sure that the original proposal of the three kings to be sealed was indeed Wang Xijue's suggestion to Shenzong.
And later, it was indeed he who delayed his ascension to the position of first assistant, no matter from that point of view, he had more reason than Zhao Zhigao to deal with himself.
"Your Highness thinks that the old man will hate Your Highness?"
Zhu Changluo's puzzled look fell in Wang Xijue's eyes, but he sighed deeply and asked rhetorically with a complicated expression.
The former was silent, and he did think so......
"The old man doesn't know why His Royal Highness is so familiar with the court situation, and he doesn't know why His Royal Highness is so young that he can gain insight into people's hearts and easily turn the court upside down, but the old man just wants to say that the old man, as a minister of the court, has studied the wisdom of the sage since he was a child, and what he does is to have a clear conscience!
The old man knew that His Royal Highness had always been upset about the old man's proposal to His Majesty to merge the three kings, but His Royal Highness had considered that the situation at that time, the confrontation between the monarch and the minister was about to erupt, and Yuan Fushen Shixing was coerced by the ministers to coerce His Royal Highness to make His Royal Highness the crown prince.
And His Majesty insisted on appointing the third prince as the crown prince, and the two sides were in trouble, and the situation was almost deadlocked, and even the army far away in Liaodong was affected by this, if there was no means of mitigation, I don't know what kind of evil consequences would be caused!
Although this proposal is not good for His Highness, it can save the military and civilians of Liaodong from being in trouble, and the old man does not feel that he is wrong! β
This is the first time that Wang Xijue has said so much to him, and it is also the first time that Zhu Changluo has looked at this matter from the perspective of a cabinet minister.
Just hearing this answer, he was slightly stunned.
He thought of countless answers in his mind, but he didn't expect that it was just these four simple words!
In all conscience?
Zhu Changluo slowly calmed down, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he still had to say that if he changed his position as Wang Xijue, he would make such a choice, after all, he was just a prince in the deep palace, even if it was a matter of righteousness, how could he compare to Liaodong, which was in full swing?
"Then, what about Zheng Yangxing?"
Zhu Changluo's voice was low, revealing a hint of coldness.
But Wang Xijue's brows widened, this was the first time since he entered the mansion that he saw Zhu Changluo start to treat him seriously, not as polite and respectful as just now, but indifferent and detached.
That's right, if the matter of the three kings can be explained, then what about Zheng Yangxing?
After all, the dispute over the country is a major event involving the entire court, and all aspects are involved, Wang Xijue made this decision, and Zhu Changluo can understand it.
But what about the things in Suncheonfu?
If it weren't for Wang Xijue's greeting in advance, how could Zheng Yangxing get out so easily? If Wang Xijue was not from Concubine Zheng's side, how could he help him!
For this person who has repeatedly harbored ill intentions towards him, Zhu Changluo has no good impression at all.
"Your Highness, the battle of wills is useless! Zheng Yangxing is already a lost dog, and the reason why Concubine Zheng has been holding back is because she is afraid of affecting her plan to restore the throne, but Your Highness, please think about it, if the news of Zheng Yangxing's arrest spreads to the palace, what will Concubine Zheng think? The Zheng family's all-out counterattack, can His Royal Highness be able to accept it now? β
Wang Xijue was very patient, and since Zhu Changluo asked, he opened his mouth to answer.
It's just that after these two sentences fell, Zhu Changluo was silent for a while.
In all fairness, he was indeed a little impulsive before, Wang Xijue was right, Concubine Zheng's background over the years is not something he can really afford to provoke, if she really wants to break the net desperately, with him now, he may not be able to accept it.
Not to mention, there is an emperor standing behind Concubine Zheng......
"Why do you want to help me?"
Zhu Changluo narrowed his eyes, but the dangerous breath in his mouth had already dissipated most of it, what kind of person Wang Xijue was, he could naturally see the change in the exchange rate of Zhuchuang, and said with joy in his heart.
"Your Highness is where the righteousness lies, and the old man naturally wants to help!"
"You're lying!"
Wang Xijue's face suddenly froze, Zhu Changluo stood up, and said coldly, it's not a question sentence, it's a declarative sentence!
"Maybe everything you said is true, but I can be sure that it is not for the sake of the so-called righteousness...... No, you're not helping me at all! β
Zhu Changluo sneered and spoke.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being an old fox who has been in the court for so long, and he is just a little bit close, and he has to completely believe him!
There was silence in the lobby for a long time, and then Wang Xijue slowly raised his head, his old face was full of exhaustion, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"Your Highness...... How can you see it? β
He obviously felt that Zhu Changluo's attitude was changing little by little......
"Of course you told me yourself!"
Zhu Changluo said lightly.
He believed that everything Wang Xijue said before was sincere, but it was only this last sentence that revealed his true heart......
