As Zhu Hao's voice fell, even Zhu Youqi, who had a straight face and did not smile before, couldn't help but be moved.

In other words, if he said that he would sacrifice his life as a savior, he would praise him for a few words of "loyalty and righteousness" at most, but Zhu Hao took practical actions, and when life and death were at stake in the fire, he draped the only wet blanket over his son instead of himself......

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "King Xing, since ancient times, heroes have been little heroes, Zhu Hao is worthy of being loyal and good, and he has the legacy of his father, and he should be rewarded." ”

Zhu Youqi nodded, but he was still speechless, it seemed that Yuan Zonggao was in charge.

"That's it, Zhu Hao, the prince appreciates your act of saving people today, and rewards you with twenty taels of silver as a reward." Yuan Zonggao said.

"Thank you."

Zhu Hao bowed again, but the expression on his face was unmoved, as if the twenty taels of silver were not in his eyes.

That's what the character is.

Orphans and widows are held hostage by the family, you give me twenty taels of silver, didn't it end up in the hands of the Zhu family? I risked my life to save people, just to fight for the twenty taels of silver for my family?

To whom to insult?

Yuan Zonggao had expected that Zhu Hao was not interested in this, and continued to ask, "Zhu Hao, what are your plans next?" ”

Zhu Hao blurted out: "I'm leaving the palace, I'm ...... I want to go home. ”

"Oh? You don't want to stay in the palace to study? ”

Yuan Zonggao was a little surprised and asked.

Zhu Hao stared at Yuan Zonggao with monster-like eyes, and said with palpitations: "I originally wanted to go to the palace to study hard, but the people in the palace don't seem to welcome me...... I'm lucky to be able to come out of the fire this time, if I do it again...... Please be gracious to the prince and Mr. Yuan, let me leave the palace, and the reward will not be wanted. ”

Retreat!

Don't pretend to be in front of me, ask me what I'm going to do next, why don't you just ask me if I still want to stay in the palace to spy on intelligence?

Giving a reward is a reward for the kindness of the savior, really when I am a seven-year-old child?

Yuan Zonggao sighed: "You have a high talent for reading, but unfortunately the motive for entering the palace is not pure, this fire may be caused by the fall of the marquee lamp in your house, don't think that someone wants to murder you." But since you have decided to leave, it is inconvenient for the palace to stay, so you go back and pack up, and you will prepare twenty taels of silver here, and you will take it with you when you leave. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded heavily, not nostalgic at all.

But then a sad look appeared on Zhu Hao's face, and Yuan Zonggao sighed when he saw it: "The things you brought seem to have been burned by a fire, so let's do it, the house will give you another five taels of silver to buy a line." Alright, you go down first. ”

"Student quit!"

Zhu Hao did not hesitate at all, bowed and left.

……

……

Seeing Zhu Hao's figure disappear at the door of the study, Yuan Zonggao turned his head sideways, looked at Zhu Youqi with a smile, and asked, "King Xing, what is your impression of him?" ”

Zhu Youqi frowned slightly, shook his head, and did not answer.

"King Xing, there is a proposal below, why don't you leave this little guy in the palace and study with the prince in the future?" Yuan Zonggao's words surprised Zhu Youqi.

Zhu Youqi was dumbfounded and said: "Yuan Changshi, he is from the Jinyi Wei Zhu family, before you proposed to guard against him, just because he saved people from the fire, you want to leave him behind?" That's not what you said before. ”

Yuan Zonggao stroked his long beard under his chin: "Before, I was just trying to see if he intended to stay in the palace and had any bad intentions, but he took the initiative to leave, thinking that he was really afraid of accidents." ”

"Oh."

Zhu Youqi glanced at Yuan Zonggao in surprise, with a strange expression, as if to say, Yuan Changshi, you actually went to test a child? Is that necessary?

"Maybe King Xing is puzzled by leaving him, in fact, after thinking about it, it is very simple to send him out of the palace, but will Jinyiwei stop there? Of course not! Sending away a child who stands in the open and has his heart for the prince will be mixed in with more ill-intentioned spies in the future. Yuan Zonggao stated his reasons.

Zhu Youqi got up and paced back and forth for a long time before nodding.

Yuan Zonggao continued: "The initial acceptance of the proposal of the two little princes and the selection of companions is to give Jinyiwei the opportunity to send people in, and we have targeted precautions, and now it seems that if we treat Zhu Hao like a plague, Jinyiwei will not get the information he wants, and sooner or later he will find another way......

"With Zhu Hao's bad relationship with the Zhu family, as well as his loyal character, even if he contacts the prince, it will not be harmful, but it can pass on the information we want to send out......"

Zhu Youqi interjected: "What Yuan Changshi means...... Let him send some fake news from time to time? ”

"It doesn't have to be fake."

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile, "In fact, what Jinyiwei wants to know most is the situation of the prince, as long as in their opinion, the prince is inactive, has no ambition to fight for power and profit, and finds that there are not many secrets in the palace, and they can deal with the above, and the Xingwang Mansion will not become the target of public criticism." ”

Zhu Youqi admired Yuan Zonggao's resourcefulness and expressed his approval.

"And Zhu Hao, this kid, I admire him very much, he is talented and treats his friends with all sincerity, if he stays in the palace and studies with the prince, it may help the prince in his studies."

Yuan Zonggao's meaning, Zhu Houxi wants to become a talent, he needs to grow up with people with good character and learning, close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, if he always plays chess with a stinky chess basket, then even a genius child will eventually become a stinky chess basket.

Zhu Youqi is still worried: "He always stays with the prince, what should he do wrong?" Many things are out of his control, what if someone makes him unfavorable to the son? ”

Yuan Zonggao's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Let him have more contact with the third prince, and he won't be able to distinguish the identity of the prince for a while, and then be careful...... If he really had the intention to hurt the son, he would not have come to the rescue this time. Moreover, if someone really wants to be unfavorable to the prince, even if it is not Zhu Hao, it will be difficult to guard against, isn't it? ”

Zhu Youqing's face was sad.

His eldest son died of illness shortly after his birth, and the cause of death is still unknown, there must be more than one spy in the palace, Jin Yiwei really wants to harm people, Xingwangfu can't prevent it at all, and the main strategy now is to continue to release fog, making people unable to distinguish the true identities of Zhu San and Zhu Si.

"The lesser of two evils, King Xing, I will meet with Zhu Hao in the next meeting, instill some loyalty and righteousness in him, and let him do things for the palace, so that we can still know the movements of Jinyiwei in reverse, which is much better than everything being controlled by people now...... What do you think? ”

Yuan Zonggao said the ultimate plan.

The biggest purpose of leaving Zhu Hao is to let him act as a double agent.

The palace should take advantage of Zhu Hao's young age and lack of knowledge, and explore all the arrangements of Jinyi Wei for the palace, and change from passive to active.

Zhu Youqi nodded and didn't say anything more, which meant that this matter was handed over to Yuan Zonggao.

……

……

Zhu Hao went out of the door.

Lu Song was a little nervous outside, he was afraid that after Zhu Hao saw Zhu Youqi and Yuan Zonggao, he would not be able to withstand repeated interrogation and reveal his identity.

"Young Master Zhu, what's wrong?"

Lu Song found that no one was coming, so he hurriedly went over and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "King Xing rewarded me with twenty taels of silver...... I offered to leave the palace and go home, and Yuan Changshi agreed. ”

"Huh?"

Lu Song was a little confused.

You offered to go?

Zhu Hao said: "The palace is too dangerous, I can escape it once today, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky next time, I'm just a child, I entered the palace to study...... Life is much more important than reading. ”

Fair and reasonable.

Lu Song nodded.

I can't fault that.

But if Zhu Hao really took the initiative to leave, and consciously left the palace, would the arson still have anything to do with Zhu Hao?

This kid set the fire just to tell others that he was in danger in the palace and had to leave early?

What Lu Song was most worried about was that Zhu Hao designed everything in order to stay in the palace and then mix with the little prince.

It doesn't make sense.

But he still breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, if Zhu Hao really left, no one in the palace would know his identity anymore, and he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered when he met secretly in the future.

"Lu Dianzhan, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you get me out of the house soon? Today scares the hell out of me, and I'm afraid I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life. Zhu Hao looked impatient.

"Hmm."

Lu Song couldn't wait to send this little plague god out of Xingwang's mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them came out of the backyard door, a maid came to pass the word: "Lu Dianzhan, the prince will pass you over." ”

Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao, and there were people from the Wangfu Honor and Guard Division outside the door, and he immediately beckoned his subordinates to come over and send Zhu Hao to the courtyard where the craftsmen gathered, and he followed the maid to see Zhu Youqi.

……

……

Xingwangfu study.

"King Xing, Lu Dianzhan is here."

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile, "Today's firefighting, Lu Dianzhan can be said to have made great contributions...... Fortunately, with him, the son of the world is safe and sound. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Youqi nodded, his eyes full of appreciation.

Lu Song knelt down on one knee and saluted, looking sincerely frightened, thinking in his heart, hadn't he already praised him just now? also said that adding three months of Yulu, compared to Zhu Hao's kid getting twenty taels of silver at a time, it is not equal at all, and it is clear that the kid is the first merit......

No, I'm not the first to do it in the first place, so why do I have the heart to fight for it?

Yuan Zonggao's face suddenly sank: "Although you have made meritorious contributions in fighting the fire, I heard that you are also in the East Courtyard today, and you did not know in advance that someone set the fire, so you are still responsible for negligence." ”

Only then did Lu Song realize that the praise was fake, and the beating was true.

"Humble and incompetent."

Lu Song knelt down on one knee and kowtowed to make amends.

After all, he was invited to drink, and he went out to pee right under his nose, but it turned out to be arson, saying that it had nothing to do with him, and that it was a rhetorical quibble.

Lu Song's character is to admit that he is wrong.

Yuan Zonggao was very satisfied when he saw Lu Song's performance like this, and nodded in approval: "But I can't blame you for this matter, after all, no one knows that something like that will happen...... This matter is over, you can help Zhu Hao arrange it when you go back, the place where he lives burned down, arrange a residence near the room of the palace guard division, and then go back and resettle again. ”

"Huh?"

Lu Song was stunned.

Didn't Zhu Hao say that he wanted to leave the palace?

Why did Yuan Zonggao say that the kid was not leaving, and he had to arrange a place for him?

"Lu Dianzhan, what are your concerns?"

Yuan Zonggao didn't expect Lu Song to react so much to Zhu Hao's stay in the palace.

Lu Song immediately realized that he had lost his temper and hurriedly explained: "I think that although Zhu Hao has saved people, this fire was all caused by him, if you continue to stay in the palace...... It may add trouble later. ”

Yuan Zonggao said: "What you said is reasonable, but he has merit in saving the world, if he is sent away, it will violate the principle of clear rewards and punishments in my Xingwang Mansion...... You don't have to be suspicious, just do what you are told! ”
