Chapter 330: Seeking Skin with the Tiger (1)
The eldest prince went to the General's Mansion in person, and he was condescending, but he and Lu Zhiyao were friends for many years.
What's more, now that the eldest prince is also asking for him, he naturally feels that there is nothing inappropriate about coming to the door in person.
That's right, when he arrived at the General's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao also came out to greet him in person.
"Your Highness, this is even more exposed, why did Your Highness come in person." He greeted the eldest prince into the door, and then followed the eldest prince, personally took the cloak on the eldest prince and handed it to the people around him.
The spring cold has passed, but the night is also cooler, and most of the people who go out still need to wear a cloak.
The eldest prince waited for him at a wrong pace, "Why should I be polite, we have been friends for many years, and this bit of vulgarity is exempt." β
Lu Zhiyao smiled, in the end, he couldn't stand side by side with the eldest prince, half a step behind him, and followed him into the door.
The eldest prince sat down in the room, then looked at Lu Zhiyao and smiled, "Zhiyao, this is your mansion, why do you seem to be a guest, sit down." β
Lu Zhiyao sat down.
The sudden visit of this big prince at night, Lu Zhiyao actually had more or less points in his heart, but it was not good for him to say it directly, and now he could only continue to pretend to be stupid.
The eldest prince took a sip of tea, and then asked, "This king knows, you have been to the capital to protect the army for many days, and now you are a general, are you still used to it?" β
Lu Zhiyao said, "After all, they all serve the royal family, but it can't be said that they are not used to it." β
The eldest prince sighed and put down the tea bowl, "It's just that over the years, this king has also remembered from time to time the days when he drank and talked with you in Jinyiwei." β
The eldest prince is a rare member of the royal family who is close to Jinyiwei, and he is even a prince.
After all, the emperor reused the East Factory, and everyone saw the wind and steered the rudder, and many people called for Jinyiwei, and he had already lost his former face.
But only the eldest prince still gives Jinyiwei face, no matter what his purpose is, but it is true, after so many years, most of the Jinyiwei people feel that the eldest prince is a person worthy of friendship.
Lu Zhiyao smiled, "Yes, the original days, although it was ...... Jinyiwei is indeed not living well, but there is still some happiness in it. Your Highness has never disliked us. β
The eldest prince waved his hand, "What's so disagreeable about this, this king can get acquainted with you and the commander, and it can be regarded as the king's convincing." β
Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and was silent.
"Then how have you been doing in the capital guards recently?"
"It's just a day and night patrol, but the subordinate is a small general, so naturally there is no need to work hard day and night. Although compared to the previous in Jinyiwei, this seems to be a bit of a demote, and there are more things to do, and I am busy. But it's better than doing nothing all day long in Jinyiwei. β
Lu Zhiyao laughed lightly, "At least, you don't have to look at the faces of those eunuchs in the palace anymore, this is too much." β
The reason why the eldest prince was able to get together with the people of Jinyiwei before, when it comes to one place, is actually because they are very repulsive to the people of Dongchang.
Needless to say, if there were no people in Dongchang, they wouldn't have to fall to this point.
The eldest prince snorted coldly, "Now that the palace is not controlled by these eunuchs, there is one thing, Zhiyao probably doesn't know yet." β
Lu Zhiyao immediately said, "What did Your Highness say?" I would like to hear about it. β
"Now the prince and the queen are afraid that they will also have dealings with Dongchang."
Lu Zhiyao immediately raised his eyebrows, "What?!" β
The eldest prince waved his hand and sighed, "Zhiyao should also know the current situation of this king, because he was polluted against the prince's mansion before, he almost left Beijing." β
It is impossible for Lu Zhiyao not to know, this capital is a well-known thing.
He boasted that he had known the eldest prince for several years, and he knew a little about the eldest prince.
"My subordinates know that His Highness is definitely not the one who does such a thing."
The eldest prince shook his head, "There are naturally people who believe in this king, but ...... Not everyone will believe in this king. My father didn't suspect the king much, and summoned the king twice, and his tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to think that the king had done it......"
Then Lu Zhiyao is strange, the emperor's meaning is very clear, this is something that everyone knows, "That...... Then why then? β
"In the final analysis, no matter how big or small things are now, my father always wants to find the people from Dongchang to distinguish them in detail, and as soon as the people from Dongchang came out of the imperial study, this father and emperor made a big fire and directly sent this king into the Zongren Mansion."
Of course, this is not true, but Lu Zhi is far away, and he doesn't know what happened in the inner courtyard of the palace that day, even if the eldest prince is talking nonsense now, of course he has no channel to suspect.
"This ...... This is ......"
"Let's not talk about it, this king and Dongchang have always been at odds, this is also a well-known thing, what else does this king need to say? Such a thing can only be admitted, but not long after, the crown prince was decided, if there is no credit for Dongchang, this king will not believe it! β
Lu Zhiyao stood up suddenly, and then walked two steps in a circle in the room.
"Yes, the matter of establishing a reserve has been a long time, not to mention many years, Your Majesty has been hesitant so it is unresolved, and now although Your Majesty thinks that His Royal Highness has made a mistake, but it may not be that he will immediately establish a reserve at this time, how does it seem that the queen and the prince are taking advantage of the danger."
"The dispute between the princes doesn't have to be fair and just, but if this matter is only up to the queen, it may not be possible. We all know who the queen is, although she has made meritorious contributions in running the harem for so many years, but the matter of Princess Jiahe has already made her lose her sacred heart, and the sister-in-law is just taking the position of a sister-in-law, and the father may not be really optimistic about my second brother. β
"So......" Lu Zhiyao suddenly understood what the eldest prince meant, "So, Your Highness thinks that there are people from Dongchang mediating here?" Did it directly or indirectly contribute to this? β
"It's not a thought, it's not a suspicion." The eldest prince put his hand on the table and made a loud voice, "It's that the king is determined." β
Lu Zhiyao sat down suddenly, "Then if the crown prince succeeds to the throne...... East Factory ...... Jinyi Wei ......"
Some people are like this, even if they are no longer Jinyiwei's people, but they are still proud of the blood they once shed for Jinyiwei.
For example, Lu Zhiyao is such a person.
He was proud that he had once been the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Therefore, from his point of view, he still hopes that one day Jinyiwei can be brilliant again, and he hopes that at least when he is alive, he will have the opportunity to see it.
The eldest prince sighed, "Yes." The matter is already very clear, Dongchang and the king are not on good terms, so when choosing, they naturally chose the queen's side. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, they will still continue to reuse Dongchang, because they have long been tied together, not to mention collusion, it is also the same spirit. The people in Dongchang have always been small-bellied, and this dynasty still has Jinyiwei, but I am afraid that they are already unhappy to the extreme, and when they can completely control the government next time, our Jinyiwei ...... I don't know if it's going to have a name. β
Lu Zhiyao immediately slapped the table, "He dares!" Jinyi Wei is the opening of the dynasty, so many years, guarding the king, protecting His Majesty, hard work, how is he a eunuch who is neither male nor female has the final say! β
The eldest prince was silent.
Lu Zhiyao knew what he meant.
That's rightβnow, where is the qualification of the Jinyi Guards to speak?
No matter how many murderers are scolded behind their backs, now, the Dongchang family is still dominant.
Lu Zhiyao was a little depressed, and he asked blankly, "So...... So His Highness came to find his subordinates today, is there something wrong? β
His expression was sluggish, "It's not just to talk to your subordinates about these things." β
The eldest prince shook his head, then glanced around.
The people around him had already retreated, and only his closest people should be guarding the door.
Surely no one else will be able to hear him.
The reason why the eldest prince chose Lu Zhiyao first was because he trusted Lu Zhiyao very much.
Even if the two of them couldn't talk about this matter in the end, he knew that Lu Zhiyao would never say a word outside.
It's not that he thinks Lu Zhiyao has much loyalty to him or anything like that, but - Lu Zhiyao's foolish loyalty to Jinyiwei.
He was a rare orphan who was adopted by Jinyiwei, and grew up in Jinyiwei all his life.
He is even more unmarried now, and when he is alone, he has no sustenance.
It seems that there is nothing more suitable than looking for him.
He won't tell the secret because he is afraid of implicating Jinyiwei.
The eldest prince and Jinyiwei have been friends for many years, who doesn't know, is it true that Jinyiwei can be left alone when the eldest prince has an accident? It's inevitable.
So the eldest prince stabilized his emotions, "Zhiyao, I came to you today just to ask you, would you like to work with me to re-make Jinyiwei return to its former glory?" β
Lu Zhiyao glared, "Your Highness...... What does that mean? β
"There is a prince in one day, and the East Factory is still pressed on the top end, no, it is the father who is now confused, and he believes in the East Factory for everything, Zhiyao, you know, but this day is still there, Jinyiwei, there will never be a day to emerge."
Lu Zhiyao was frightened, "Your Highness...... Your Highness is thinking ......"
This is what the Great Prince and Chi Chi learned.
Snake fighting has always been seven inches.
I don't say I don't want anything, I just ask, do you want this.
Reshaping Jinyiwei, this is probably Lu Zhiyao's dream for so many years.
