It's June in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting hotter.

But the emperor has still been very unhappy recently, and whoever touches the chill released on his body can't help but shiver first.

The emperor also sent a large number of people to find Zhu Changjue's whereabouts. But the man seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news at all.

Pinching days, Zhu Changjue has been on the run for almost two months, but not only has no clue about the trace, but also has no general direction and clues.

The more this happened, the more panicked the emperor became.

The troubled emperor only felt that his control inside and outside the court was still insufficient, and he had to further increase his control. So from the garrison inside and outside the palace to the expansion of the personal guards and the secret guards of the forbidden army, it is still going on either openly or secretly.

And Zhu Changjue can't find it, and the emperor will naturally not let anyone have the possibility of repeating Zhu Changjue's mistakes. So the unlucky ones were the prince and Zhu Changan.

Zhu Changjue fell, and although the prince took a big advantage on the face, he didn't actually get much light. On the contrary, the emperor became more and more uneasy about him, and not only put his dislike for the crown prince on his face, but also did not restore the previous prince's positions.

After fighting for more than ten years, they finally won, the Xiao family and other clans of the prince's family thought that they could raise their eyebrows, but the emperor still didn't give a good face, not only did he find fault everywhere, but he didn't even give them any light in the important positions vacated by the Juewang faction, and they were all occupied by the emperor himself.

The situation that should have been clear did not appear, which shows the emperor's attitude.

The prince's party was inevitably a little panicked. Now is their best time, if they don't hurry up and make a final decision, will they wait for Zhu Changzhe's wings to grow and then fight? ……

As soon as Zhu Changjue was defeated, the prince brought a heavy gift to visit the general's mansion at night.

He knew that whether it was Cheng Ziyu or Li Chun, as long as their cooperation could continue, it would mean that his throne would be secure.

He was apprehensive, lest the other party would not even see him.

Fortunately, this time, Cheng Ziyu still came to see him.

Li Chun did not appear.

After the prince launched a gift box that he absolutely took out, he got straight to the point.

"As long as the cooperation can continue, the conditions are up to the two of you." Although Li Chun didn't come, Zhu Changrui felt regretful, but he knew very well that Li Chun was represented by Cheng Ziyu with full authority. Without his acquiescence, Cheng Ziyu might not have come to see him. And on his own trip, Li Chun naturally knew the purpose.

Cheng Ziyu glanced at the open gift box, there was Zhu Changjue's experience from the past, it was not a silver box office deed, nor was it something that was difficult to sell or traceable, but dozens of Luo gems of different colors and sizes that had not yet been deeply processed.

It's true.

There is a world to tempt, and you don't need to count it carefully to know that it is worth a lot.

Seeing that Cheng Ziyu withdrew his gaze with just one glance, the prince hurriedly added.

"County Lord, you and I have a happy cooperation this time, and the mutual cooperation can be described as seamless and invincible." In the prince's heart, this is true. After all, more than ten years of confidant trouble has been pulled out like this, and he really hopes that this kind of cooperation can last for a long time in his heart.

As long as these two nod, wouldn't it be easy for him to clear the remaining obstacles? Even if you don't do it, if Li Chun blows the wind at his father's place, mentions it to himself, and Cheng Ziyu beats a side drum in front of the queen mother, then the front and harem are naturally all under control.

"The Xiao family was offended a lot before, and the queen mother was deceived by her, and there was some friction with you. Lonely and the queen mother felt sorry for that incident. Therefore, this box of things is not a burden for the county lord to accept it, which can be regarded as a gift of apology for the orphan and the queen mother. Xiao is not generous and elegant, and it is really difficult to be a housewife. One thing can be guaranteed that as long as you are alone in your position for a day, no one will bully you and the Cheng family, and you will never let people spoil the love and cooperation between us. ”

Cheng Ziyu raised her eyebrows.

Is this a guarantee?

Not only did he give Ying Cheng, but he even helped Xiao Shi pull out the dazzling nail for himself?

The prince is very thoughtful!

In this way, I don't even have to worry about the future.

No wonder I heard a few days ago that the Prince's Mansion was going to raise the side concubine again, and it was the girl from the Xiao family who was chosen, which turned out to be true. Obviously, he is not the only one who is dissatisfied with the Xiao family!

Cheng Ziyu swallowed it back again when she refused.

The other party is so thoughtful and enthusiastic, if he is too blunt, is he going to make enemies again?

That's it, although he had a confrontation with the crown prince and queen in his previous life, it was all because of Zhu Si's position, but in this life, there is no festival between them, and there is not much interest involved, and now the prince has a sincere attitude and has made a great compromise, she doesn't need to be killed with a rod.

"So, if we can continue to work together, Lone will definitely not let the outside world affect you and me. Lone has always been kind to his subordinates, and the county lord should have heard of it. As long as you and I stand in a unified position, Lone will definitely not do anything that violates or damages cooperation, crosses the river and demolishes the bridge.

At this point, Lone can guarantee and even swear. Lone's sincerity has been delivered, the county lord can discuss with the general, what he wants, as long as Lone can do it, within the scope of Lone's ability, without harming Lone's interests, Lone can agree. ”

"I have received the sincerity of the prince."

Cheng Ziyu still pushed the gift box back:

"The reason why I came to see you is also for something. I can tell you clearly, as far as I am concerned, as long as the person on the throne is not King Jue or King An, I don't care who is on the throne. My husband, he is a pure minister, so he only serves the emperor. Since I am married to him, I naturally will not stand on the side of him. So now that Zhu Changjue's goal has been achieved, our cooperation still has to be suspended.

But I can also guarantee one thing, on the premise of not harming the interests of me and my husband, although the cooperation between you and me has stopped, I will not help King Zhe. You two can show off your powers. What do you think is good? ”

"Why don't you go to the top of the place? You can get more. ”

"Again, my husband's position is there. Moreover, we do not lack silver, and we do not care about status. We just want to live in peace. Horses of courses. You get the idea. ”

Cheng Ziyu sent off the guests with a smile, the prince said it was a pity, and hoped that Cheng Ziyu would convey his sincerity to Li Chun and think about it again.

"It's the same when you think about it. Even the philosopher came to the same answer. Do it yourself. ”

"Lone will still wait, looking forward to our cooperation again. If you need to, just ask. As long as it does not harm the interests of Lone, Lone's guarantee will always be effective. ”

Cheng Ziyu smiled and saluted the guests, and slowly paced back to the main courtyard......

She thought it was good.

In this way, she neither tore her face with the prince, nor did she have to promise anything. If Zhu Changan and Zhu Changjue come out again, she can still borrow the prince's hand or cooperate with the prince again.

This is probably the best way to go.

As for the prince, although she did not agree to cooperate, she not only expressed her dislike for Zhu Changjue and Zhu Changan, but also promised not to help Zhu Changzhe, which was also a great and excellent reassurance for the prince.

After all, he doesn't care about Zhu Changzhe at the moment, except for Zhu Changjue and Zhu Changan, who else can I be? Therefore, although it is a pity to visit the prince at night, the result is not unacceptable......

Cheng Ziyu returned to the inner room and was targeted by Li Chun, who raised his eyebrows.

"I thought you wanted Zhu Changzhe to take the position." After all, she and Zhu Changzhe have also cooperated, and the cooperation is also very pleasant, and that person still has a little ...... for her Strange feelings. And she has a lot to do with Vinland.

So Li Chun thought that she would not see the prince at all, or would simply refuse neatly.

The news from the front yard came just now, and Li Chun was also a little surprised. In addition, he was inexplicably a little comfortable. He always felt that she would have a good impression of Zhu Changzhe, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

"It's still your position that matters." Cheng Ziyu knew at a glance where his comfort came from, she felt that the man's flying vinegar was a little ridiculous and cute, and couldn't help but come up and hug him around his neck like a flatterer.

"So, it's all for me?" He picked his eyes, looking incredulous.

"Mostly." The emperor believed in him, so he had to avoid it, and now that the situation is good, why should he wade into troubled waters?

Cheng Ziyu smiled again:

"Since the prince is so assured, why did we hang ourselves on Zhu Changzhe's tree? What Zhu Changjue said to you when he provoked you before was not entirely wrong. At the moment, Zhu Changzhe needs our help, and naturally it is good no matter how you look at it. But we are not without estrangement with him, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not cross the river and tear down the bridge one day. ”

Cheng Ziyu knew that Zhu Changzhe was scheming, and his suspicion was also serious, which was a common problem of the old Zhu family.

"To be honest, I can't trust any of the people surnamed Zhu. It's also a loss to your surname Li. I can still believe one or two. ”

Li Chun thought deeply of the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence still asked him to clean her up.

The two quarreled for a while.

"Although the prince is hypocritical, for the sake of his hypocritical appearance, he at least needs some face, so what he promised will at least not be torn openly. If he becomes the emperor, I think we won't have a bad life. ”

Cheng Ziyu had already thought it through. "When the time comes, if you want to dismiss the army, he will definitely not be able to ask for it. At that time, you and I will just hold on to him some guarantees. He will definitely promise, and for the sake of his reputation, he will not tear up the agreement. ”

Li Chun smiled.

"I'll arrange everything in the future. How to get out of the way, I have already figured out. You, don't think about it so much. ”

Cheng Ziyu glared at him and scolded "fox" in a low voice.

She didn't know how he would retire in the future, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd in the "three-year period" he was supposed to take a few days ago, and he didn't say anything when he asked him, and he saw through the temptation at a glance. Is......

Cheng Ziyu removed her makeup from the mirror, and added: "If Zhu Changzhe's people come to inquire, there is no need to hide it from him." Let him know the purpose of the prince's visit. ”

"And then?" Li Chun propped his head and squinted at her.

"Zhu Changzhe must be in a hurry, and he will definitely express something. The prince promised that he would not cross the river and tear down the bridge, and would treat us well. What about him? We've been helping him, is he embarrassed? Then tell him the truth, and get a promise from him. ”

Li Chun chuckled.

"Who is the fox? Your way is not shallower than mine, is it? ”

"I just learned a little balance from the emperor. As long as we are valuable, this ship will never capsize. "How good is double insurance. If nothing else, it's a choice. One is an old force, the other is a rising star, and he is more leisurely to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger.

Li Chun pounced.

"I just said it was all for me, which made me so moved. But you didn't refuse the real purpose of the prince's kindness, you still want to get a promise that Zhu Changzhe took the initiative to give, right? ”

Li Chun grinded his teeth and bit her lips, and said vaguely: "Is it really good for you to slip your husband like this?" ”

The candle flame jumped, the body was heavy, and the spring light in the room was suddenly thick, and it could not be easily dissolved......

The emperor was bothered with another thing.

Zhu Changan's second recall has news.

The chamberlain walked too slowly to and from the northwest, so this time before the chamberlain returned, the emperor had already received the news that the dark man had handed it back as soon as possible.

said that Zhu Changan had not returned to the camp for more than a month, and had been clearing out foreigners on the border.

The chamberlain summoned no one but couldn't find it, and he couldn't find it when he brought someone to look for it, so the second group of chamberlains still couldn't see him in person.

In this way, the emperor's suspicion became even greater.

It's not a time of conquest, what foreign tribes do you want him to clean up? If you don't go back for more than a month, is it necessary? Isn't it a big war right now, so we need to be so nervous? There are many nomads in the northwest, they are coming and going, they are coming, spring and summer, autumn and winter retreating, and he has been swinging for a hundred years!

Of course, what makes the emperor suspicious the most is Zhu Changan's level of being more than enough and his useless mentality, is he the kind of person who can endure hardship?

The emperor felt that it was the fourth child who was avoiding him.

Do you dare not go back, or do you not want to go back?

Are you afraid of being chased after yourself? Or are you afraid that you won't let him follow Bai Heng?

What is he going to do with Bai Heng? Want to learn art? Or do you want military merit? Maybe...... Military?

But if he just wants to learn art, he only needs to follow Bai Heng, why bother to fight the enemy? So it's not about learning art.

Military exploits? As long as there is no large-scale war, it is destined that there will be no great military exploits!

So...... All that's left is military power, that's not going to work!

Although the emperor can trust Bai Heng, Bai Heng has always praised the fourth child, don't make a master-apprentice relationship and affect the feelings of the monarch and the minister.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor is even more unsteady.

He couldn't help but start thinking, could it be Bai Heng who was helping Zhu Changan escape and return to Beijing? Maybe that's the one that makes the most sense.

The chamberlain went to the northwest twice, how could Bai Heng not know? If Bai Heng stands on his side, if the fourth refuses to go back, Bai Heng will force him to go back, right? Is Bai Heng covering for him?

The Emperor was taken aback by his own thoughts.

No, this time, his command will not only be given to the fourth child, but also to Bai Heng.

So, seven days later, Concubine Zhao was "critically ill".

This time, he was really critically ill.

She provoked the imperial power several times, and the emperor could not tolerate her for a long time. But she has not relented, and now the emperor will naturally not show mercy in order to maintain his supreme imperial power.

Another half a month later, Concubine Zhao, who had been lying in bed for nearly three months, had already become a half-dead person, and was completely liberated from the pain of self-torture every day.

On the twenty-seventh day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Zhao Fei.

The emperor wanted to keep the word filial piety and force Zhu Changan again. The deceased is the greatest, and it is absolutely impossible for this news not to reach his son.

Whether he wants military merit or filial piety, he directly asked his son to choose.

If you choose the former, you will be unfilial, and if you choose the latter, you must return to Beijing.

As for Bai Heng, if he still helps cover it up this time, he can't say it.

So this is also a temptation for Bai Heng.

The emperor hopes that this time, the fourth child and Bai Heng will not let themselves down....../10_10575/
