The True King got out of the carriage and entered the mysterious courtyard.

"True King, how do you know that this prince is here?" The owner of the courtyard is none other than the second prince Zhao Hongpu.

Although Zhao Hongpu asked, he was not surprised at all when the real king appeared.

Although little is known about this courtyard, he also understands that as long as the true king is willing, he will definitely be able to find it. However, he was surprised that since the true king came to him in a carriage like this, he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts.

Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in the real king's gourd, the second prince still welcomed him in.

"Second prince, do you still have the leisure to come here to relax?" True King Zhu Xi sat down with a calm expression, and then drank a cup of hot tea.

He had long known that the second prince had several private residences in Kyoto, some of which were endowed with communication functions, and some were just for the sake of the cunning rabbit and the three caves, and temporarily settled.

And the courtyard here is a quiet place purchased by the second prince. Usually, when it is quiet and leisurely, it will occasionally come here to take refuge.

The second prince listened to the words of the true king, smiled, and decided to stand still and see the real king's premeditation.

"The True King should know. In the court, now because the princelings are making waves, the entire court is also in chaos. This prince is annoyed, looking for this quiet place, looking at the snow scene outside, and tasting the good tea brewed by the tea girl, isn't it beautiful? ”

The second prince pushed the entire battle in the court to the crown prince, which means that the prince is the culprit who has caused the current chaos.

Where does the real king not know the meaning of the second prince? It's just that today, he has another purpose, not to deal with the crown prince, so he is destined to disappoint the second prince.

"The second prince seems to have paid too much attention to the crown prince. Could it be that you have forgotten that there is still a third prince? The True King said straight to the point.

"The Third Prince?" The second prince looked at the real king with a puzzled face.

"Yes. The crown prince is the crown prince and the concubine of the queen's mother, and it seems that he has a great advantage over the second prince. But the second prince, your strength should not be underestimated. It's no worse than the Prince."

The second prince, Zhao Hongpu, listened to the real king, and did not interrupt or speak, but wanted to listen to what the real king had planned.

"Second prince, your mother concubine is an imperial concubine above ten thousand people under one person. Your maternal ancestor was a master who held military power. Compared to the crown prince, you are not inferior."

"True King, aren't you afraid that I will tell the prince what you just said?" Zhao Hongpu didn't show much joy, although there were many people who understood these words, but few people said them so straightforwardly.

Those people in the court are all smart people, and they know that they don't show their hole cards until the last moment. Even if someone worships under his own door, he is half-hearted, and there is a possibility of betrayal at any time. It is harder to hear the truth from them than to ascend to heaven. Therefore, it is also Zhao Hongpu's fate to stay sober at all times and not show his true feelings for some obedient words.

In the past, no matter how much he co-opted, the true king never expressed his position. Now, he took the initiative to find it, and if he said this to his face, he must have a plan. As for what it was, Zhao Hongpu didn't know, so he kept his heart and continued to listen. Well, true king, what is the purpose of such an abnormality today?

"Second prince, what Xiao Wang just said is just the reality. You don't need to tell the prince, the prince must have already analyzed it. Otherwise, how could the crown prince's people argue with the second prince's people all the time? ”

The True King said with a smile, his eyes never lifting from the teacup in his hand. He was very confident that he had a way to persuade the two princes to join forces to deal with the third prince.

In addition to the second prince, Zhen Wang Hai plans to join forces with the crown prince to deal with the third prince Zhao Hongli together. This is his revenge on the Three Princes.

The second prince laughed, "The real king is really fast-talking"

"However, this prince still doesn't know, since the true king knows that the crown prince is my biggest threat, why did he ask me to be careful of the third brother just now?" The second prince didn't know what to do, and asked the doubts in his heart.

Seeing that he had taken the bait, the true king still said unhurriedly, "On the surface, the crown prince and the second prince are the most powerful contenders for the throne. The reason, Xiao Wang has already said just now. The two princes and the crown prince have their own advantages, the prince has the first opportunity, and actually controls the two imperial merchants, represented by Zhu Yuanchuan of the True Prince's Mansion, and his economic strength is not trivial; And the second prince has the help of the imperial concubine's family, and the generalissimo of Youzhou City holds the military power. You and the crown prince, one has soldiers, the other has money. The six departments of the imperial court are almost all from the two princes. Even if the emperor wants to do something to the people of the two princes, he has to think twice, after all, he will move the whole body with one hair."

"Oh, really?" The second prince didn't show much of his emotions.

And the true king is not careful that he can't convince the other party, and he doesn't lose confidence because the other party shows a lack of interest.

"But Xiao Wang felt that the two princes were too focused on each other, and forgot that in addition to the two adult princes, there was a third adult prince in addition to the emperor," said the true king.

"If the true king only has these words to say, it will disappoint this prince" The second prince had already guessed the purpose of the true king's visit this time, but he didn't talk about Zhao Hongli in his eyes. In his opinion, Zhao Hongli is just a marginal figure like his mother.

The reason why he and the prince have not done anything to Zhao Hongli over the years, but it is because for a while, neither he nor the prince can defeat each other. The emperor was still unwilling to give up power, so he stubbornly supported the third child, in order to let him grow into a force that could balance himself and the crown prince.

But everyone knows that Zhao Hongli has no prominent background, and his mother is just an unfavored concubine in the palace; There is also no strong maternal support.

Just because Zhao Hongli did not have the strength to threaten, he and the crown prince turned a blind eye to the emperor's support for the third child. However, they are not completely relaxed their vigilance, since ancient times, the last laugh, the biggest winners are those who are not favored at the beginning.

However, at present, it seems that whether it is strength or strategy, the second prince does not take his younger brother in his heart and regards him as his real opponent. Therefore, listening to what the true king said, I was not very interested.

The real king saw the disdain of the second prince, and obviously, in the heart of the second prince, the third prince was just an opponent to fear. But how could the True King let this matter pass so easily. Of course, he has his own killer weapon, which can make the second prince and the crown prince temporarily let down their vigilance against each other and join forces to deal with the third prince.

As for the evidence, the True King had already prepared it.

"Second prince, do you want to take a look at what Xiao Wang brought before making a decision?"
