Zhu Wanhong's smile was secretive, giving people a gloomy feeling.

It feels like a person who is about to die at dusk and sunset, cheekily asking people how to seek immortality.

Zhu Hao said: "Uncle, I listen to the meaning of your words, and I seem to have a heart of disobedience!" ”

"No, no, don't get me wrong."

Zhu Wanhong hurriedly explained, "I don't have any other advantages, that is, I am loyal to the imperial court...... Loyalty is also a prerequisite for being a brocade guard. ”

The implicit implication is that I am loyal to the imperial court, not to an emperor, but to my profession.

Zhu Hao knew what Zhu Wanhong meant, this was to test the next move of Xingwangfu, in the opinion of a Jinyi Wei secret agent, what are the conditions for Xingwang Shizi to ascend the throne?

Of course, Zhu Houzhao died!

But how did the emperor die?

The chance of a normal death is very small, after all, today's Zhengde Tianzi is very happy, in good health, and can even go to the battlefield to confront the Tatar cavalry.

Then there is only one way to go, assassination.

That's why Zhu Wanhong asked Zhu Hao to say "when to start".

Doesn't this make it clear that I want to know if Xingwangfu has a plan to assassinate the emperor?

But if you really find out the news, you can't say which side Zhu Wanhong is on.

Zhu Hao shook his head and sighed: "The prince is trapped in the Jingshi now, he can't go anywhere, I rarely see him, and now I want to be admitted to the Jinshi by myself...... Getting into the Jinshi is more important than anything else, as for going further...... There's a long-term plan, but I really don't, uncle. ”

Pretend to be confused.

Who wouldn't.

Zhu Wanhong squinted: "Virtuous nephew, even if you are admitted to the exam, you will still be a provincial solution, but this kind of thing is a matter of being admitted to the Jinshi, it depends on the accumulation of time, it's not that the uncle looks down on you, don't always think about ascending to the sky in one step, in fact, staying by the side of the prince of Xingwang, maybe you can soar without being admitted to the Jinshi......"

The most sober in the Zhu family is definitely Zhu Wanhong.

But Zhu Wanhong's mind is not to assist Zhu Si as the emperor, he said so, but Zhu Wanhong doesn't know that Zhu Si will attack the Zhu family after becoming the emperor?

Even if there is Zhu Hao's mediation, the Zhu family will not be wiped out, but if you want to mix in the Ming power layer in the future, it is basically impossible, and it is the best result to be able to keep your whole body out.

In this way, Zhu Wanhong's purpose is about to come out......

On the grounds of the so-called Bao Zhu Si's ascendancy, he gained the trust of Zhu Hao and even Xingwangfu, and then played a yin role, set up a "great achievement", helped the court to cure the problem of Xingwangfu at one time, and then took refuge in Jiang Bin or other powerful people around the emperor to make the Zhu family go further.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, if you want to play a big plan, my uncle is an expert.

"Oh, uncle, I don't have any big ambitions, I just keep my name and live a good life...... It's a big deal to elect officials, to do a county order in a certain place, to benefit one party, but to be a person to keep hope, maybe I will be a jinshi after taking the exam once? Wouldn't it be beautiful to do something for your majesty and the people of the world at that time......"

One old and one young, you and I are dressed in a big way.

Zhu Wanhong was full of expectations, hoping to dig up a big deal from his nephew, but as the conversation deepened, he found that he couldn't take advantage of Zhu Hao at all.

Although Zhu Hao is young, it is really difficult to hear some rumors from his nephew.

"But uncle, I heard that the remnants of King Ning's Mansion may make a move on His Majesty in the near future, this is a big deal, but I don't know the truth...... To say that His Majesty is heavily protected, it should be difficult for thieves to succeed, right? Zhu Hao suddenly sold a flaw.

Zhu Wanhong hurriedly said: "It's okay, what about me......"

As he spoke, he suddenly realized that he had lost his words.

Zhu Hao was puzzled: "What did the uncle say?" Do you want to help the remnants of King Ning's Mansion assassinate His Majesty? ”

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I mean I'm here, and I won't let the traitors succeed. Zhu Hao, you mean...... Is there a thief who wants to do wrong? ”

Zhu Wanhong's eyes regained expectation.

In other words, what I want is the movement of Xingwangfu, the so-called assassination of the remnants of Ningwangfu...... You're supposed to be my fool to believe this kind of unreliable nonsense?

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "This is the news I heard, and the people are talking about it, uncle, as a brocade guard, should be better informed than me." ”

The smile on Zhu Wanhong's face froze.

Folk discussions......

This channel to get news is really novel, why don't you say that it was told to you by the remnants of King Ning's Mansion? What could be more?

"Uncle will help you investigate...... In that case, go back...... Uncle won't invite you to dinner, and there is nothing you can do about it......

……

……

Zhu Hao said goodbye to Zhu Wanhong, and deliberately did not look back after coming out.

First let the person who was following him relax his vigilance, and halfway through, he suddenly squatted down, as if picking up something, squinted a few times, and saw the two of them pause and flash to the side.

Hehe.

Zhu Hao thought to himself.

When I don't know what your old fox is up to?

You only know my public residence, which is the inn, and you want to know my private residence, find out who I usually contact, and after meeting with you, you subconsciously think that I will immediately go to someone to discuss......

There are so many ghost eyes!

Zhu Hao judged from this point that Zhu Wanhong's responsibility to monitor the Xingwang Mansion was not relaxed, and after the reshuffle of Jinyiwei this time, Zhu Wanhong, who had defected to Jiang Bin for a long time, may have improved his status, which will make him have more actual power in his hands.

At present, Zhu Wanhong is no longer an enemy and a friend, he is purely an enemy.

Zhu Hao knew that someone was following him, his face was not shocked, and when he walked to the corner of the street, he deliberately looked back, looking vigilant, and then trotted all the way through the alley, arrived at a narrow alley near Dongzhimen, and went into the home cloth shop.

After a long time, Zhu Hao came out of it.

After walking a short distance, I entered another rice shop......

went back and forth in and out of several shops, and finally came out at the back door of a chess courtyard, went straight back to the inn, and then closed the door in the inn room to study, and did not go out again that day.

……

……

It wasn't until the next day that Zhu Hao left the inn while no one was watching.

Before leaving, he specially settled the house money, returned to the yard he rented, and arranged to rent a small courtyard again in the three secret places.

Zhu Hao's coping strategy is simple.

Since you know that the old fox Zhu Wanhong is not well-intentioned, then you have to come to the three holes of the cunning rabbit, so that Zhu Wanhong can't find anyone if you want to......

At least when I'm done trying, I'll reappear and play with you.

Two days later, Zhu Hao met Tang Yin and asked about the current situation.

"Someone stalking? Not really, right? Recently, I have been doing well here, I go to see Shizi or Meng Zai every day, and I have not had any contact with Anlu visitors, I have never met court officials, and I have not met old friends...... What are you worried about? ”

Tang Yin's life is too ordinary.

The things he does are ordinary, so there is nothing to be afraid of Zhu Wanhong's investigation.

Zhu Hao said: "Recently, my uncle has made meritorious contributions, and it is not easy to start from the son, so he can only start from the people around the son, that is, us...... I don't know what his plan is. ”

Tang Yin smiled: "He just saw you, could he just want to disrupt your plans and make you worry all day long?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded, "There is also such a possibility, but is it good for him to let us entangle?" There was obviously a small movement on his side, and we should take some precautions, isn't it a normal reaction? ”

"This ......"

Tang Yin has a free and easy personality, and he is not the kind of person who has a very strong sense of purpose, but Zhu Wanhong is.

Therefore, Zhu Haocai guessed that Zhu Wanhong should have a big plan, not necessarily wanting to make meritorious contributions to the emperor or the royal family, but also wanting to make some achievements to show Jiang Bin to prove that he has the ability to ascend to the throne.

Kill Zhu Si?

It was too risky for Zhu Wanhong.

It is indeed a good idea to instigate Zhu Sixing to assassinate the emperor and make the Xingwang Mansion ruined or even overturned...... But it is also possible to help Jiang Bin cut off the wings around Zhu Si and eliminate the danger invisible.

But the most important thing is to think about what Jiang Bin needs......

Jiang Bin needs fame and fortune, there is no doubt about it.

But can Zhu Wanhong give it?

Zhu Wanhong doesn't have an intuitive understanding of his status? Will you have that spring and autumn dream?

Jiang Bin needed to consolidate his position in the court, or to reserve a way out, even if the emperor really suddenly said that he was gone, he could still ensure that his interests would not be damaged.

Xingwangfu is obviously not the first heir to the throne that Jiang Bin expects, and Xingwangfu itself, as the first in line, does not need to get close to Jiang Bin to obtain political resources, so Jiang Bin can only find candidates from the next level of heirs, such as the two younger brothers of Xingwang Zhu Youqi, Yiwangfu or Hengwangfu.

These people themselves have a relatively low order of succession, and they need strong reinforcements from the DPRK and China to have a chance to ascend to the throne after the emperor's death.

It is precisely because of the demand that it is easy to be controlled and used by Jiang Bin.

But it is not enough to have a candidate, Zhu Si needs to "misbehave", and then his reputation is discredited, so when the emperor is mentioned in order, others will think that "the virtue of Xingwangfu is not worthy of the throne, and he cannot succeed to the unification".

Finding the heir to the throne of the side branch of the royal family is obviously not Zhu Wanhong's task, he is staring at the Xingwang Mansion, and there is only one task - to make Zhu Si ruined.

It is best to let Zhu Si go out to stir up trouble and fight like the two brothers of the Zhang family, or linger in the Qin Mansion and Chu Pavilion, or say that he can be the emperor...... There are more direct ones, such as planting blame, a person who was killed happened to bump into Zhu Si's arms and made him a murderer, or let him collude with Waiyi to find any substantive evidence......

As long as Zhu Si's reputation can be ruined, Zhu Wanhong needs it.

There are many ways, but it is not easy to start, it is still necessary to start with the people around Zhu Si, it just so happens that Zhu Wanhong and Zhu Hao are uncles and nephews, and they have cooperated before, Zhu Wanhong naturally feels that he can make use of this relationship.

"What the hell are you kid up again?" Tang Yin saw that Zhu Hao didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes kept rolling, indicating that Zhu Hao was scheming again.

Zhu Hao squinted and smiled: "I'm wondering, will there be a strange question in this year's exam, and everyone can't answer it, only I can answer it, and then others think that I have a close relationship with the examiner and get the exam questions in advance?" ”

Tang Yin: "......"

"Mr. Tang, you don't have to be so serious, I just remind you, be careful of my uncle, don't think about what I have intentions, all my intentions are for you and the good of Xingwangfu, I am a real person."
