Chapter 297: Overly Clever
Zhao Rui saw a few of them, sat in his study for most of the day, didn't think of any way, and drank a few pots of good tea from himself in vain.
"You guys shouldn't be such a waste, you haven't figured out how to force him out until now, so what's the use of what I want you to do? Is it the one who allows you to eat and drink here for nothing? ”
His voice was cold, like a poisonous snake, staring at them, there were two princes muttering secretly, Zhao Rui said that they were waste, and he couldn't think of a specific countermeasure until now, but he himself hadn't been for so long, and he still couldn't think of anything, and he had to let a few of them think about it.
Zhao Rui was praised by his father before, saying that he was both civil and military, and he was a rare talent in their country, and he would definitely achieve something in the future, but now it seems that he is no different from their group of straw bales.
In the insinuating eyes of these princes, Zhao Rui couldn't help but clench the teacup, he didn't have to look at it to know that what they were thinking in their hearts must be that they were said to be Wen Taowu in the past, but now they are not like them, sitting here and not thinking of anything.
Zhao Rui smiled self-deprecatingly, he was not like them, if Gu Qin hadn't cheated for him at the beginning, he might not have been liked by his father at all, after all, his father's liking for him was because of his cleverness.
is not like Zhao Jun, he obviously behaved like a waste at the beginning, but his father didn't like him at all, because he was a waste, he often asked the eunuchs around him to follow him behind his back to see what he was doing.
This kind of meticulous care, none of them got any of the princes, but the most wasteful Zhao Jun got it, Zhao Rui once envied Zhao Jun, although he was seriously ill, but at least he still had the care of his father.
It's not like I'm trying my best to show everything, but I can't help but expose myself, but I'm actually just a mediocre and incompetent person.
"Go back, you all go, and don't spread the word about it."
Zhao Rui said impatiently that he didn't want to see these princes at all now, as soon as he saw them, he felt on the same level as them, and he was obviously the future emperor.
Zhao Qi didn't leave, he stayed, obviously he had something to discuss with Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui let the people around him retreat, and closed the door of the study tightly, "What did he say?" Did you notice something wrong with him? The king always felt that he had rebelled. ”
Two days ago, Zhao Rui asked his most trusted brother Zhao Qi to talk to Gu Qin to see if Gu Qin was still firmly on their side, Gu Qin is a rare talent, Zhao Rui understands this better than anyone else, if such a talent is not under their control, it is useless to stay, it is better to get rid of it cleanly, lest he become a sharp blade in the hands of others.
"He shouldn't have rebelled, but the incident that hurt him at the beginning of the imperial brother made him a little repulsed, but he didn't choose other princes, I think it was because of the concubine."
Zhao Qi sighed, if he had known about this at the beginning, he would definitely stop the imperial brother and would not have let things develop to such a point.
Zhao Rui's eyes lit up, he ignored one thing from beginning to end, although he had done something that hurt Gu Qin, but Gu Qin had a lot to do with his mother after all, and the entire palace was inseparable from his mother.
Under this relationship, how could Gu Qin betray himself and turn his head to find other houses as his backers, it seems that he was indeed too worried, and he should not have been allowed to investigate the background of that army in the first place.
"By the way, this king just suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the king of Japan received a secret report from the front line that there was a mysterious army approaching Kyoto, and there were about 100,000 people, which was a lot of money, but I don't know which prince it was."
Zhao Rui frowned in annoyance, this matter has been so long since now, this army may have set up camp somewhere, he has been busy with Zhao Jun's affairs these days, and he has forgotten about this matter.
He was afraid that when he was about to finish, which prince would use those 100,000 troops to threaten him.
"Seventh brother, I don't believe in anyone else, I only believe in you, please help me investigate this matter, so as not to have worries when I get it."
Zhao Rui said solemnly that he didn't want to hand over such a dangerous matter to Zhao Qi, but there is really no one under him who can be used now, and most of the troops are besieging the palace, so this matter can only be handed over to Zhao Qi.
"The royal brother will not dishonor the imperial brother's trust, and will definitely investigate this matter clearly, and will definitely not let the imperial brother have any worries, the imperial brother only needs to be invincible in the front, and the rest will be handed over to the imperial brother to personally sweep it away."
Zhao Qi accepted this task without the slightest hesitation, and even promised that he would definitely handle this errand properly, from this point of view, he was much more reassuring than Gu Qin to Zhao Rui.
"When you are done, this king will definitely treat you to a good meal." Zhao Rui touched his shoulder, his voice was mixed with deep sadness, he didn't know what kind of road he had in front of him, but since he had chosen this path, he would never look back, let alone regret his choice.
Zhao Qi said a few words to him, then turned around and left, he left very suddenly, and the other princes did not notice his departure, but felt that he seemed to disappear overnight, and generally never appeared in the restaurant in Kyoto again.
And in the palace.
Gu Qinzheng informed Zhao Jun about Zhao Qi's conversation with him, he did not hide Zhao Jun's affairs, and let him know that there must be Zhao Jun's people around him, and his every move had already been reported to him.
But he still told Zhao Jun all these words in detail, just to eliminate his vigilance against himself, and didn't want too much estrangement between them, which would easily cause him to be suspicious at that time.
After all, he knows better than anyone what kind of person Zhao Jun is, he is a sensitive and suspicious person, even if he has a little action, he will feel that he is plotting a rebellion, otherwise he would rather kill by mistake than let go of a hundred, in his heart he will definitely not die well, and end up with a miserable end, all this has long been expected by him, so he can't make a little mistake.
"Gu Qin, you are really a very smart person, and sometimes you are even too smart, but for the sake of your loyalty, I can still accept such a small flaw, and then you can continue to maintain the status quo, if there is no major incident recently, don't enter the palace, lest he notice it."
Zhao Jun's casual words made him sweat.
