Chapter 574: Thief Ship
Xiao Juzhi, Ji Ning and Zhao Yuanrong sat down opposite each other, this is not the first time Ji Ning has calmed down with Zhao Yuanrong to talk, but this time Ji Ning feels that the princess in front of him is very real, no longer the distant that does not eat the fireworks in the world before, but seems to be within reach.
"What's in trouble with the princess, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Ji Ning said, "I am only a shallow learner in the next year, and many things are just with an attitude of saying more and more power, hoping to help the princess!" ”
Zhao Yuanrong smiled warmly and said: "Ji Ning, it's better for you to talk like this, you used to be too unruly!" ”
Ji Ning thought to himself: "What you said lightly, when I faced you before, it was against a princess, I have to be careful when panting in front of you, can it be regarded as unruly?" At best, non-violent non-cooperation. Even now, if you want me to be sincere in helping you, that's unlikely. ”
"In fact, many things have not yet been shown on the surface, but in the secret, a political change has begun!" Zhao Yuanrong said, "King Hui and King Chong seem to be secretly colluding, trying to subvert the imperial court, and they will start an incident in the capital within these few months!" ”
After saying this, Zhao Yuanrong looked at Ji Ning carefully, trying to detect some clues from the change in Ji Ning's expression.
Ji Ning knew that this was because Zhao Yuanrong was afraid that he would get close to the prince of Chongwang, plus he was from Jinling, so he might consider some issues from the perspective of Chongwangfu, or even be biased, and even leak what Zhao Yuanrong said to the people of Chongwangfu.
Ji Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is the princess too worried?" Even if King Chong and King Hui secretly had any activities, or wanted to rebel, it shouldn't be in the capital! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanrong was a little relieved, because Ji Ning said it very bluntly, directly saying that King Chong and King Hui might rebel, and now the two of them are talking about things.
Zhao Yuanrong said in a deep tone: "I have also thought about this issue, it stands to reason that the two old foxes Chongwang and King Hui will not be colluded together, after all, they both have the intention of plotting to usurp the throne, but they are secretly colluding behind their backs." As for the location of the incident between the two of them, it is not surprising that they are in the capital, and their targets should be the Son of Heaven and the Crown Prince, as long as these two people are removed, then the two of them can naturally ascend to the throne......"
Ji Ning said: "Even if Your Majesty and the crown prince ...... If there is really any accident, it will not be the turn of King Hui and King Chong to ascend the throne, right? ”
"How not? Do you think that in addition to the crown prince, others are qualified to threaten the throne? My fifth brother is too young to take on a big responsibility, and many of the wolf ambitions around my fifth brother are actually arranged by King Hui and King Chong by his side, nominally to help, but in fact they are serving. King Hui and King Chong, the two old foxes, began to buy the generals around the capital from a very early stage, as well as some officials of the court, when they went to the capital for the pilgrimage this time, they were actually secretly carrying people from the firearms camp, and even a large number of people came to the capital, and they could take action at any time! Zhao Yuanrong said.
Ji Ning nodded, he thought to himself, no wonder the current situation in the capital will be said to be a "brotherly wall".
Ji Ning said: "It is understandable that the princess is worried about the court, but has the princess ever thought about how to solve this matter?" ”
Zhao Yuanrong was a little angry and said, "If I can solve it, why not ask you for help?" His Majesty is now obsessed with elixirs and beauty, and Concubine Li Guifei in the palace is looking for beauties among the people for him, and it is said that even some married women from the families of the official gentry will be sent to the palace. The prince's side is also similar to His Majesty's situation, indulging in drinking and having fun with those Jianghu warlocks all day long, and even setting up altars in the capital to worship ghosts and gods, and has no demeanor of a prince. On the contrary, on the side of the five princes, he has a bit of benevolence, but unfortunately he was originally born to that poisonous woman, and the people around him are all flies and dogs, with his age, how can he fight with the two old foxes of King Hui and King Chong? Seeing the enemy coming to the door, it is a pity that Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince are not vigilant at all, but they have intensified their greed for pleasure, which makes it difficult for me to express my heart......"
Zhao Yuanrong seemed to have opened the conversation box, and he said it very bluntly, even the emperor's greed for beauty, as well as some scandals in the palace, were so clear.
Ji Ning knew that since Zhao Yuanrong had talked about this, he had already been pulled onto the "thief ship", and he was afraid that he would not be able to get off.
"Princess, dare to ask, did the princess say these words to others?" Ji Ning didn't go to offer advice, but asked very seriously.
"As a princess and a daughter, this palace is neither an official nor subordinate to any of the Yamen who has a division in the court, and has never formed a party for personal gain before. Ji Ning, do you know why I am relieved to tell you? Zhao Yuanrong said.
Ji Ning smiled: "The princess wants to tell Zai Xia that you have great trust in Zaixia." But I would like to remind the princess that these words have been told to me and are very safe, because I am not a court official, and even if I leak the princess's words, others will not believe me, but will put myself in the gap between the forces of all parties and cannot survive...... The princess is not trusting, but using trust as an excuse to take advantage of it! ”
"Ji Ning, you are always so disgusting when you speak, because you can always say what is in the hearts of others, which makes people feel ashamed. But you remember, if I don't think you are the one who can help me, no matter how strong your ability is, it is like a stranger to me, I will never ask you, if you can help me, then I only need you a strategist by my side, at that time, you and I are two people who are closely related in this world, you go to the temple, and I stay in the court, isn't it good? Zhao Yuanrong said.
Ji Ning thought to himself: "That's a good point, you are in the court, I am in the temple, each has its own strengths, and they also show their strengths." But no matter how you listen to it, it's like I'm the concubine you're looking for! It can be called by you and waved away! ”
Zhao Yuanrong saw that Ji Ning was silent, and continued: "Ji Ning, now that the problem is in front of you, how to solve the matter of King Hui and King Chong's rebellion?" ”
"The person the princess asked is a student, and now he has not yet made a name for himself as a jinshi!" Ji Ning emphasized, "The princess has been saying that she can help you in the next place, but others are not helpful to the princess in the slightest, and I dare not agree with the princess." There are so many high-ranking officials and generous people in the capital, there are many capable ministers, and even in the royal family, they are also extremely appreciative of the prince's forbearance, since the people the princess chooses to deal with are King Chong and King Hui, why not cooperate with the prince? ”
