Chapter 547: Wooing (2)
The second prince finally waited for what he wanted to hear, and the smile on his face flashed.
The real king on the other side seemed to be at the end of his rope, and he was forced to take out some real things.
The real king Zhu Xi took out a letter and asked Xiao Hei to hand it over to the second prince.
"What is this?" After reading the letter, the second prince, Zhao Hongpu, was confused.
The content of the letter was written in Mongolian, not very complicated, and the second prince, who knew a little about Mongolian, probably saw what was written in the letter.
It was only when he saw that there was nothing too mysterious in the content of the letter that the second prince, Zhao Hongpu, was so disappointed.
"Second prince, do you think the content of the letter is like a greeting between two old friends?" Seeing the disappointed expression on the face of the second prince, the true king said with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Zhao Hongpu didn't believe that the real king really took some ordinary letters out, so he made a fool of himself.
"What if Xiao Wang tells the second prince that this letter is a secret letter from Zhuge Cheng, the military master of the third prince, and the Jurchen national teacher?" The True King said.
The second prince looked at it carefully, although the identities of both sides of the letter were sensitive, there was not much content in the letter, it was just some warm words, and it did not involve some confidential information at all.
"Although the two countries are at war, Zhuge Cheng and Wanyan's identities are relatively special, and they communicate with each other, which is out of place. But according to the content of the letter, I can't find a problem," the second prince said disapprerovingly.
Of course, the true king knew that the letter he took out was not so powerful at all, but he did not open his mouth to continue.
Seeing the mysterious appearance of the true king, the second prince knew that the other party was engaged in psychological warfare, and at this time, whoever spoke first would lose. But he couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he opened his mouth first, "The real king is looking for this prince, is this just to show me this?" ”
King Zhen smiled and said, "Second prince, don't worry. These are just appetizers."
The words of the true king have shown that there is more important evidence in his hands. But he didn't take it out, although it was easy to understand, but the second prince who was wary of the real king didn't buy it.
"True King, what does this mean?" The second prince was obviously angry, "The real king suddenly ran to the territory of this prince, first provoked the feelings between our three brothers, and then told this prince that the third prince had treason. Now, you're keeping it a secret. Could it be that the real king thinks it is fun to tease this prince like this? ”
Seeing that the second prince was angry, the true king said, "Second prince, don't worry. Xiao Wang came to His Highness to cooperate with His Highness, how could he not come with sincerity? ”
When the second prince heard this, he didn't leave immediately, but the expression on his face was still very ugly.
Seeing this, the true king said, "Second prince, you should know something about Zhuge Cheng beside the third prince, right?" ”
"Zhuge Cheng, this person, this prince doesn't know much. I only know that it was the third prince who spent a lot of effort to get under the door. He is a talented man," the second prince said what he knew.
"Well, it seems that the second prince really doesn't know much about Zhuge Cheng," the true king said with a smile. Of course, he knew that the enemy in the eyes of the second prince was only the crown prince, and he didn't disdain the third prince Zhao Hongli at all. Even if the third prince is ambitious, he doesn't dare to show it at this time. It should be Taoguang and obscure, try to hide his strength, and not let the crown prince and the second prince be jealous.
The real king did not explain the character of Zhuge Cheng, but the second prince was no stranger to him, and it could be seen that the second prince Zhao Hongpu was actually not as indifferent to the third prince as he was on the surface, and he was also careful to guard against the third prince.
With this experience, the true king's heart was even more certain, so he opened his mouth and said, "Zhuge Cheng is a native of Shandong, and he is known as the descendant of Zhuge Kongming. But not many people know his true background. It's just that he knows that he is rich and has a lot of strategy. I'm afraid the second prince has also paid attention to it, right? ”
The second prince, Zhao Hongpu, did not deny it, that is, acquiesced.
"This Zhuge has become a young man, but he has always had a poor reputation and is depressed. The three princes traveled to Shandong, and happened to hear that there was such a capable person in the local area, and followed the example of the ancients to visit the thatched house, so he was invited out of the mountains and forests and brought under his command. The real king told Zhuge Cheng's background again, and the second prince Zhao Hongpu was not too surprised.
He is one of the few people who knows that the true king actually controls the dark shadow, and there is no news in the world that he can't find out. However, these things are not a surprise thing, and you can know it with a little inquiry. And the second prince knows everything about the third prince's mansion, although he can't say that he knows everything about it, but he knows everything he should know.
The true king believes that in addition to the second prince, the same is true for the crown prince.
Kyoto seems to be calm on the surface, but it has become commonplace to infiltrate, probe, and provoke each other.
"After all, the third prince is a prince, and there are some sages around him to assist, even the father and the emperor will not say anything. This prince also has a group of strategists around him. As long as they are loyal to our Qianchao and the emperor, they will seek the well-being of the people and contribute to the society. Why not? The second prince instantly became dignified, and his words were also lofty.
The real king saw through it and didn't say anything, and echoed with a smile: "What the second prince said is extremely true. If he was really loyal to the emperor and the Qianchao, he naturally could not question it, but what if he had another purpose and was connected with the generals of the enemy country? The True King said coldly.
The second prince was taken aback: "Could it be that this Zhuge Cheng is suspected of collaborating with the enemy?" ”
After saying this, the second prince Zhao Hongpu couldn't help but excitedly picked up the letter again and read it carefully.
In the letter is a greeting letter from Zhuge Cheng and Wan Yan, between the lines, the tone is very polite, and there is not too much intimacy. It's just that there is a woman's name mentioned in it, hoping that she will take care of her on her behalf. Is there anything wrong with this woman?
Zhuge Cheng's father, Zhuge Song, is the fifth-generation grandson of Zhuge Kongming, who has traveled to the surrounding countries, visited the Turks, and fell in love with a Turkic woman for a long time, married and gave birth to a son. But it didn't take long for the Jurchens to launch a war to unify the tribes of the grassland, and Zhuge Sun fled with his wife and children, but was separated halfway. At that time, the war was in chaos, and Zhuge Song thought that his wife was killed, so he returned to the Qianchao with his son, and later remarried his wife. was afraid that his son's identity would be discriminated against by the clansmen, so Zhuge Song lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, incognito. ”
"Pity the Turkic woman, who was separated from her wife and children because of the war, but miraculously survived. was rescued by a general, and when the general saw that he was alone and pitiful, he took more care of him. After coming and going, they moved each other and became husband and wife. After marriage, the Turkic woman had children with the general. The generals were even more favored by the Khan because of their talents, and they rose step by step, becoming the most powerful people in the Jurchens."
The words of the true king made the second prince hear the extraneous voice, which was quite surprising.
