Chapter 60: Dialogue at the City Gate
"Are you all ready?" The third prince in the secret room, dressed in black, looked at the group of dead soldiers in front of him and shouted.
Everyone looked at the three princes, their eyes were full of cold colors, and everyone was a fierce god. In unison, they said, "Ready!" ”
"After today, you may die, but you remember my promise to you, even if you do what I have to say, you don't have to worry about the rest, as long as I promise you, I will definitely do it." The third prince stared at these dead men and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, the prince will definitely die." Among them, the leader made a military order and said: "If he didn't die, I wouldn't have the face to come back." ”
"Hmm." At the sound of the order, all the dead men left the secret room one after another.
looked at the person who had already left, and then another person walked out and looked at the third prince, and the third prince clicked his finger on the latter to understand what it meant. Looking at the backs of these dead soldiers leaving, the man in black also followed.
The seventh prince Zhao Zhen has never slept on the bed all night, whenever he closes his eyes, he can always see the tragic death of the unrepentant Shoufu family, these days it has been wandering in Zhao Zhen's mind, if Wushuang comes to seek revenge on himself and doesn't know the real reason, what should he do, how to explain all this.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen was confused, and he didn't know what to do.
It would be good if there was someone who could talk to him by his side, but Zhao Zhen looked at the huge palace, but there are not many people who can be trusted, although these people are all people from their own palace, but except for the people who came out with their own hands, there are few people that Zhao Zhen can believe, maybe there are people who have been bought, it is really difficult to move step by step.
"Alas~" Zhao Zhen sighed, and didn't sleep for a while until early in the morning.
It didn't take long for the little guy to come up and wait for Zhao Zhen to wash up, and from time to time he gathered a team of people at the gate of the palace, and at this time of year, there will be a lot of princes and nobles who gather together to hunt in the mountains, and this year is no exception, but these horses only play a superficial role and do not have much combat ability.
In order to prevent accidents, Zhao Zhen still brought a cronie of his own, only these people by his side Zhao Zhen can feel a sense of security, if there are no people around, Zhao Zhen's safety will be reduced a lot.
On the other side, the three princes Zhao Gou's men and horses also walked out, and the two teams collided together at the city gate, and for a while the two teams of people and horses did not give in to each other, because one was a high-powered prince, and the other prince was deeply popular with the people, and the people's voice was the loudest.
Many people are out of the way when they see it, they are just ordinary people, such a situation is better to avoid participation, if everyone closes the door to eat and chat, the specific court situation still does not allow them to talk too much, if a person accidentally because he said the wrong thing and was involved, I am afraid that it will affect the whole family.
"Seventh brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, and it seems that your complexion is not very good recently!" Zhao Gou didn't pay attention to the state of the people moving forward, but when he saw the Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen, he greeted him with great interest.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile when he saw it: "Brother Wang, I was so interested that I didn't care about the affairs of the court, but I came here to care about an insignificant younger brother." What a real interest. ”
Although the emperor is still on the throne, he is also old and powerless, and he can only watch his sons start to fight for the throne, just like he was back then, his closest relatives will become blurred, no one remembers how many brothers there were in the past, only people remember who is sitting on the top now, this is the emperor's historical experience, only the impenetrable night and the endless people who can't be killed, and the endless blood.
Now the emperor is old, so he has to distribute the power in his hands little by little, this is when the third prince Zhao Gou began to start, a little bit is to get most of the power from the hands of the emperor, but the last time he didn't take it down in one go, if he took it down at that time, maybe there is no one in the court who can threaten him now.
Thinking of this, the third prince Zhao Gou looked at his younger brother playfully, presumably it won't be long before he will be a dead man in front of him, and at that time, no one will be able to threaten his status anymore.
Zhao Gou's mind is vicious, and he is not weaker than the emperor back then.
Hearing Zhao Zhen say this, the latter laughed a few times: "The seventh brother is too careful, these things are handled by the father, how can a person like me always deal with such things on behalf of the father, so ah, these things are just hearsay, don't believe it if you don't see it, lest you believe other people's nonsense, and the relationship between our brothers will not be good, do you say yes." ”
Zhao Gou said something as he spoke, it was seamless, it was obvious that he was holding the court, and many things were made by himself, but he didn't think that now all his brains were pushed on the emperor's body, which was a disguised explanation that the matter of Lord Shoufu without regrets was also approved by the emperor himself, but Zhao Zhen would not believe such a thing.
"In this way, Brother Wang must do his own things well, and my father will definitely have a lot of things to tell you in the future, and when the time comes, Brother Wang must seize the opportunity."
Zhao Zhen listened, but said very calmly. But the fire in my heart is burning, and it won't be long before the person in front of me must look good, and the death of Lord Shoufu who has no regrets that day must be experienced by this brother. Otherwise, I'm really sorry for Zhao Gou's iron-blooded methods.
"I see that you don't look good, so you should go first, and I should let you as a brother." Zhao thought about it for a while, and didn't do much nonsense, just let Zhao Zhen go out of the city gate first.
"Then you're welcome!" Zhao Zhen pulled the horses and walked out first.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen's men and horses were all gone, Zhao Gou walked out slowly, and the little guy next to him walked up and said: "Lord Wang, obviously he is a weak chicken, why do we still have to be polite to them?" ”
This is a bit of a sycophant, but Zhao Gou just likes to listen to his subordinates praising himself, so he is also in a good mood and looks at this little guy and says: "What you said has some truth, but what does it matter if I, as a brother, let him take a look, don't you say?" ”
The little guy nodded again and again and praised, "What the prince said is that the prince is really high~"
With a clanging sound, an ingot of gold fell in front of this little guy, who saw it and hurriedly lay on the ground and picked it up: "Thank you for the reward!" ”
"Well, let's go." Zhao Gou was expressionless, as if he was sending a dog, and it didn't count as a thing in his eyes at all. The gold in the eyes of civilians is a lifetime savings, but in Zhao Gou's place, it is just a dog.
This is really a generous hand.
Seeing that his colleagues were rewarded by the prince, everyone also red-eyed, it was a piece of gold, who doesn't want it, but they can all talk about it, so the three princes rewarded more than their reward money, this guy is afraid that the reward is more than several times that of them, and everyone is itchy in their hearts, but there is no way, who teaches this person to shoot well.
Sometimes being sycophants is not a way to survive.
"Your Majesty, what the three princes said just now, did he do it, what kind of hands and feet?" The cronies around the seventh prince looked a little nervous, and they didn't know if what they said was right or not.
In this regard, Zhao Zhen glanced at his cronies, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's okay, as long as we are more careful." ”
The latter also nodded, and then walked in the direction of Jiuyang Mountain; Now is a good time to hunt, it is the autumn these prey have spent most of the year, now the prey that can be seen must have grown into relatively large prey, those rabbits and antelopes are all fat and strong, maybe they can also hunt a tiger.
Zhao Zhen thought about it and changed his clothes after coming to Jiuyang Mountain, those people who have seen him during the day may be in danger, and those who can avoid it should try to avoid it.
With Zhao Zhen's strength, there is no need to be afraid of them, or to avoid them, but there are always some things that will not be controlled, if these individuals unite to find their own trouble, I am afraid that it will be difficult to avoid these people at that time.
Not far from Zhao Zhen, a group of people can be seen, these should be princes and nobles and other sons, some of them are usually the children of the family that Zhao Zhen has never seen, some of them have been put in other places for training over the years, and there are many who have just come back now, and some of them are also understandable.
Recently, the rumors in the palace have been relatively strong, so this time a lot of noble sons who came out to hunt wanted to take this opportunity to be able to climb up with Zhao Gou, Zhao Zhen has nothing to look at, but it is just some rabble, and it is not possible to endanger Zhao Zhen's current position, but if these people are really incompetent, Zhao Zhen is very willing to help their elders educate them well, and let them know what is called dignity and humility.
After all, they live in their own family, and those people are usually arrogant and domineering, and they are used to looking high, and now they are also thinking of being able to prove their talents, and when they see Zhao Gou coming, they rush forward to report to their own home, Zhao Gou, who was not very interested in these, but when he saw Zhao Zhen there, he also became a little enthusiastic.
"Third Prince, I am the eldest son of Lord Wen, gentle; In the future, please take care of the prince, the small all depends on the prince's body, if the king has a small place in the future, please speak, I must do my best to help the prince. A gorgeously dressed son came to Zhao Gou's side and groveled and said extremely respectfully.
"Well said, well said; You are the son of Lord Wen, and you are really a talent, and you must serve the country in the future," Zhao Gou replied with a smile when he saw it.
The latter listened as if he had been gifted, and looked at Zhao Gou's eyes differently, and after some trouble, he retreated.
When these individuals saw it, they came to Zhao Gou's side one after another, and they all tried their best to recommend that they were all more diligent than the other, but Zhao Gou also came and did not refuse, I don't know why Zhao Gou was very happy to see so many people on his side, and the two were relatively compared, although the people on Zhao Gou's side of the third prince were more vigorous. On the contrary, the seventh prince Zhao Zhen is very desolate.
