A post house in the city.

Zhu Wanhong heard the summary of the information brought by his cronies, and the smile on his face gradually became cold.

Especially when he heard that Xingwangfu had sent people to set up cards at the streets around the palace, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach, his five fingers finally curled up together and slapped heavily on the table.

Naturally, the subordinates' reports stopped.

"Why, less than two days after I came back, the palace was able to detect the clues? Previously, the palace sent people to test the wind, and it was obvious that they had heard the wind...... Could it be that there is a traitor lurking in the Jinyi Guard who is inclined to Xingwang? Zhu Wanhong asked in his tone.

How could his subordinates answer such a sharp question?

I was stunned for a while.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Zhu Wanhong didn't say anything, got up and came to the door to open the door, it was a brocade guard Xiaoqi who came to Anlu with him from Beijing.

"Zhu Qianhu, Lingtang's carriage stopped outside, saying that he wanted to see you, how should I deal with it?" Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi for instructions.

Zhu Wanhong sighed: "Invite people in." ”

The cronies in the room reminded: "You don't go to greet you in person? ”

Zhu Wanhong turned around indifferently and went back to the room, ignoring the cronie's suggestion, and then the two subordinates went out together.

……

……

Not much.

Zhu Jiashi only went upstairs and arrived in front of his son's room, at this time, Zhu Wanhong put on an excited look of a filial son visiting his mother, and looked at his mother's eyes desperately trying to squeeze out two tears, but the tears only swirled in his eyes and never fell.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Zhu Wanhong trembled and helped the old lady into the room.

The brocade guards, who came up with him outside, closed the door of the room, and then guarded the position of the staircase, and did not allow idlers to approach.

Zhu Wanhong helped his mother sit down, then took two steps back, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Zhu Jia's: "Mother, the child has asked you to be safe." ”

Zhu Jiashi looked at his son's pitiful but extremely filial appearance, and couldn't help but sigh, tears flowed down, and he smiled comfortingly: "Okay, good, just come back!" You've suffered in Kyoshi! The person who brought you back didn't embarrass you, did he? ”

At the moment, Zhu Jiashi still felt that his son did not go home because he was held hostage by Jinyiwei's people, after all, since her carriage stopped outside the post house, she saw a lot of suspicious people, and then from the time she saw her son, she still needed someone to report, and someone followed her upstairs when she entered the post house, and everything didn't prove that her son was in the hands of others, at the mercy of others?

Zhu Wanhong was still kneeling on the ground, without raising his head: "Mother, it's okay." ”

"Hurry up, let my mother see if you have lost weight?"

Zhu Jiashi helped his son up, looked at it carefully for a long time, and was greatly relieved to see that although his son's face was pale, he did not say that he was malnourished.

She asked, "Wu'er, do you have important errands to do when you stay in the county seat?" If you can't do it alone, let your mother help you, even if your boss doesn't show favors, you shouldn't let you return to Anlu and still be separated from your wife and children...... You should stay in the Zhu family manor, not the inn...... How is this different from wandering in a foreign land? ”

Zhu Wanhong was stunned.

He didn't understand why the old lady guessed that he had an errand on him, and as for what to go home, he didn't have that mind at all, or that in the past few years, he had become very indifferent to the fetters of the family.

"Mother, the child is fine, you don't have to worry, I will go back to see my father after I finish my business." Zhu Wanhong indirectly admitted that he did have important matters to deal with when he stayed in the city.

Zhu Jiashi asked, "Son, what kind of errand has the imperial court assigned to you?" Is it still about Xingwangfu? Doesn't Your Majesty already have a dragon heir? What is the reason behind this?

"When you come back and stay in the city quietly, how worried is your family? You're in trouble...... Just tell your mother, and the family will do everything they can to help you. ”

Zhu Wanhong's tears suddenly flowed down, and he choked up: "Before I left the Beijing Division, the commander of Jinyi Weiqian found me and said that I should find a way to get rid of the prince of Xingwang......"

"Huh?"

Zhu Jiashi was taken aback.

Zhu Wanhong cried: "The child has no choice but to act according to the instructions of Commander Qian, but after returning to Anlu, I found that in fact, the Xingwang Mansion has already taken precautions, and the palace is heavily guarded, and my people can't spy on the intelligence inside...... It's useless to be a child. ”

Zhu stood up and paced back and forth in the room, an aging face gradually becoming distorted.

"The Zhu family is in Anlu, and they have done so many things for the court, even your father almost died in a foreign land, so the court has to persecute it again and again...... But you don't have to worry, if you really want to kill the prince of Xing, it's not impossible, our family also has a secret line in the palace, which is the son of your third brother. ”

Zhu Jiashi thinks about what his son thinks, is anxious about what his son is anxious about, and in order to help his son achieve his career, he doesn't care about the interests of others at all.

"The third brother's child, he ......"

Zhu Wanhong deliberately didn't say anything, and asked his mother to take the initiative to propose a plan.

Zhu Jiashi said: "Your nephew, you have great ability, twice entered the palace as a companion reading boy, Xingwang Mansion Governor Shi Yuan Zonggao actually spoke for him before leaving, it can be seen that he has won the trust of the palace, usually he studies with the prince, and then he uses some poison to add some poison to the prince's meal, or directly gives him a dagger......

"Mother, if the third brother's child does this, will he be able to get out of the palace?"

Zhu Wanhong was just testing whether the family really had a way to help him, but he didn't expect his mother's suggestion to be so straightforward.

didn't talk about any strategy at all, just let his nephew get close to the prince of Xingwang and directly slash over with a knife...... I said, mother, can your plan be a little technical?

Zhu Jiashi sneered: "He is loyal to the family and filial piety on behalf of his parents, why not?" This is his honor as a child of the Zhu family. ”

The muscles on Zhu Wanhong's face twitched twice, and his face became extremely ugly: "Mother, even if you let the third brother's child assassinate and succeed by luck, how can we get our Zhu family out of this matter?" When the time comes, the king will not go to the court, and the court will not take my Zhu family to carry the black pot to calm the anger of the people? Mother, think twice! ”

"Son, how can you have the kindness of a woman when you do great things? Could it be that you secretly assassinated, and after the matter was completed, the Xingwang Mansion did not know that you did it? Won't you anger the Zhu family? As long as it is good for you and the good of the Zhu family, you must not miss this best way! ”

Zhu Jia's eyes looked at his son eagerly.

Unexpectedly, I quickly found that my son's eyes were much more indifferent than when she first entered the room, and there was no longer the bond of family affection.

"Mother, I'll think about it...... Besides, this matter can't be done, and everything has to be arranged by the top...... Mother, don't stay here for a long time, being stabbed up, I'm afraid it will affect the future of the child, mother go back first. ”

Zhu Wanhong's tone was earnest, but the depths of his eyes were cold.

Zhu Jia's expression was a little hateful.

"Boss, my mother can see it, you are still the same as before, cowardly and honest...... Being sincere and being an ordinary person is an excellent quality, but to achieve great things, it will definitely drag you down.

"Mother will secretly plan everything for you to inherit your father's position earlier, and for the prosperity of my Zhu family. You wait here, mother, let's go! ”

……

……

Zhu Jia's vigorous and resolute action made Zhu Wanhong insightful.

You don't need your schemes, do you still have to go?

Why do you have so many ideas for an old woman? Are you doing the errand or am I doing the errand? Make it seem like you're in charge of the overall situation, and I'm just a follower?

The cronies returned to the room and listened to Zhu Wanhong's account of the conversation.

The cronie said: "Zhu Qianhu, this is a good thing, there is an inside line in the ambush in the palace, why worry about the big thing?" ”

Zhu Wanhong had a diaphragm on his face: "Today she can sacrifice one of my nephews, and tomorrow for the sake of the family, who may be sacrificed...... To do great things is to do unscrupulous means, but also to think about the way out, now it is clear that Xingwangfu will prevent me, my nephew will openly commit murder, Xingwangfu will easily let me and the Zhu family go? Isn't this the birthday boy hanging, and he thinks his life is long? ”

"This ......"

The cronies thought about it and felt that Zhu Wanhong was right.

"It seems that it is only one of my nephews who is sacrificed, but when King Xing Shangshu His Majesty, when the court pursues the responsibility of the Zhu family, the person who was sacrificed must be me! For the benefit of the Zhu family, what can't the old lady do? Who has given me my dark life in the past few years? Others don't know, don't I know it myself? Zhu Wanhong was full of resentment.

He didn't mind sacrificing Zhu Hao very much, as Zhu Jiashi said, those who do great things can't have the kindness of a woman.

But the problem is that Zhu Wanhong feels that he may be treated as an outcast by the family next, and he will bear the blame for the entire Zhu family, and his fate is the same as Zhu Hao, so he feels that this move cannot be taken, and he needs to think in the long run.

Even if you want to kill the prince of Xingwang, you can't do it blatantly, at least you can't find fault with Xingwangfu on the surface, and there is no substantive evidence that it was done by Jinyiwei or the Zhu family......

Only in this way will he not become a victim of political struggle.

"Zhu Qianhu, then what should we do?"

The cronies were a little confused.

Xingwangfu has taken precautions, the plan we made has reached a dead end, and the family has given you a straightforward and good way, but you don't use it?

Aren't we blocking our way?

If you can't complete the task, how can Commander Qian let you go easily?

Zhu Wanhong said: "At this time, do I still have a choice?" Since you can't complete errands for the imperial court, it's better to ...... Reverse Aggressive...... Seek benevolence and get benevolence, if you don't seek benevolence, what can God do to me? ”

The cronies obviously don't have Zhu Wanhong's wisdom, and they don't understand what Zhu Wanhong said at all.

But I feel like it's quite unfathomable, and I'm a little ashamed.

Otherwise, how could the family be a thousand households, and the high-level would let him assassinate the prince of the domain? I don't have any real skills, can I handle such a heavy errand?

……

……

Zhu Jiashi came out of the post house and got into the carriage directly.

She was in a hurry, and Steward Liu, who was driving the car, didn't figure out the situation.

"Old lady, have you seen the eldest master?"

Steward Liu thinks that your old lady will go in for a shorter time?

Reuniting with your son, even if you don't have a meal together, you don't have to be in such a hurry to leave, right? Or did the big man provoke you again and make you angry and want to leave?

Zhu Jiashi shouted: "Catch the car and go to the current residence of the third family." ”

Steward Liu asked, "Is this ......?"

"Let you catch the car in a hurry, where is so much nonsense? Isn't it that you are also infected by the second child? Zhu Jia's attitude was indifferent, as if he didn't treat Steward Liu as a person.
