Chapter 8 Bitter Words

When Zhu Jinghong and the two were talking just now, Gao Shuyan actually heard it all, just because he didn't leave at all.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that the Thirteenth Master's proposal is feasible, and you should put your majesty on the table......"

"But ......"

Without waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to speak, Gao Shuyan continued: "Your Highness, your every move in Jinling can be watched inside and outside the court!" ”

"The Holy Providence, by mid-June at the latest, we must see the results of the suppression of thieves, if we allow Jinling civil and military to pass the buck, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will live up to the high expectations of the Holy Lord!"

Hearing these words, Zhu Jingyuan clenched his fists, he naturally knew the current situation.

"So what does Mr. Gao mean, call these people over tomorrow to urge?"

One step closer to the bookcase, Gao Shuyan said in a deep voice: "Not only urging, but also exerting power, knowing that it is harmful......"

"This ......"

Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan was still hesitant, Gao Shuyan hated that iron could not become steel, and he was emotional: "Your Highness, this time you go to Jinling, the blessings and misfortunes are between success and failure, and you have no way out......

These words smashed into Zhu Jingyuan's heart like a heavy hammer, and suddenly the sneer of Zhu Jingyuan, the king of wisdom, was floating in front of him.

"yes...... There is no way back! ”

Gao Shuyan is kind and tempting: "Therefore, Your Highness must be heartless, eliminate all difficulties with the power of thunder, and wipe out all the thieves!" ”

Zhu Jingyuan didn't answer, although he was right, he always felt that he couldn't do it, and even if he did, he couldn't do it well.

As Zhu Jingyuan's teacher, Gao Shuyan knows the prince's mind too well, and he already has a flexible plan.

"Your Royal Highness is kind-hearted, if you really can't wipe your face...... Why don't you ask the Thirteenth Master for help! ”

"The thirteenth master has a noble status, and the heart of the brother is overflowing, and he came forward to deter the ministers, and the ministers thought it was more suitable!"

If it weren't for the absolute heart, if it weren't for Zhu Jingyuan's temperament, Gao Shuyan would never have said this.

The words are good-hearted and kind-hearted, but in essence, it points out the essence of Zhu Jingyuan's indecisiveness, cowardice and rigidity.

"This ...... Isn't it taking advantage of the thirteenth brother, it's inappropriate......" Zhu Jingyuan shook his head again and again.

His indecisive character can't be changed in this life.

only listened to Gao Shuyan's immediate rebuttal: "Prince, brothers take care of each other, how can this be called utilization?" ”

"The heart of the thirteenth master's fist, the minister has heard it outside, this is not the persecution of His Highness, why don't His Highnesses fulfill each other?"

At this moment, Zhu Jingyuan only felt irritable, and after thinking about it, he replied, "This matter...... Let me think about it for two days! ”

Walking to Zhu Jingyuan's side, Gao Shuyan grabbed Zhu Jingyuan's sleeve and persuaded bitterly: "Your Highness...... Can't be delayed! ”

With such a crown prince, it's no wonder that the emperor doesn't like it, and it's no wonder that he can't suppress the ambitious King Rui.

Wanting to cry helplessly, Gao Shuyan looked at the prince with a pleading face, and the latter sighed and could only nod.

"Gao Qing, the thirteenth brother ...... over there"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the Thirteenth Master's ministers will go and say, Your Highness will spread the word now!"

The iron should be struck while it is hot, Gao Shuyan was afraid that Zhu Jingyuan would regret it, so he asked him to order tomorrow's deliberations first.

"Good!"

…………

On the other side of the dormitory, Zhu Jinghong was having lunch, and there were two eunuchs serving him.

"Thirteenth Master, you eat this ......"

"Thirteenth Master, do you want this?"

At the dinner table, wherever Zhu Jinghong's eyes looked, the eunuchs on the left and right would put the dishes in his bowl.

With only six dishes on the table, it looks simple on the surface, but each one is extravagant.

For example, one of the soups, according to legend, there are 35 processes according to the waiter, and it takes six people four or five hours to get it.

Luxury is luxurious enough, but it's a pity that Zhu Jinghong is born with an ordinary sense of taste, and he really hasn't tasted much difference.

"The Thirteenth Master of Qiqi, Zuo Chunfang University Shigao Shuyan asks to see!"

"Let him in!" Hearing the sound of the announcement outside, Zhu Jinghong stopped

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinghong instructed the waiter on the left: "Yu Hai, you go and add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, maybe this senior bachelor is here to eat!" ”

Although he felt that this was impossible, Yu Hai still responded: "Yes! ”

The waiter on the right asked goodbye: "Thirteenth master, the slave is going to make a pot of tea?" ”

Making tea and entertaining guests is the basic etiquette of the current era, Zhu Jinghong nodded slightly.

"Deng An, use the South Vietnamese Kingdom to pay tribute...... That superb lotus tea! ”

Stunned for a moment, Deng An nodded again and again, turned around and showed a wicked smile.

Among the tea leaves brought by Zhu Jinghong, the tribute paid by the Nanyue Kingdom was relatively poor, and the stock was also the largest.

After a few breaths, Gao Shuyan walked into the dormitory.

"Meet the Thirteenth Master!" Gao Shuyan bowed.

Zhu Jinghong has not yet been crowned king, and Gao Shuyan does not need to kneel.

"Did Mr. Gao eat, sit down and eat some together? You're too skinny, you need to eat more! ”

Zhu Jinghong behaved enthusiastically, which made Gao Shuyan a little stunned.

Wasn't the Thirteenth Master like this before?

Under the hospitality, Gao Shuyan sat in the guest seat, and the dishes and chopsticks were already set up in front of him.

"Yu Hai, clip two balls to Mr. Gao!"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Thirteenth Master......" Gao Shuyan hurriedly thanked him, while thinking about how to speak.

Knowing that he had nothing to do, Zhu Jinghong didn't plan to waste time, so he took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Gao, what are you looking for me?" ”

was about to eat a meatball, but Gao Shuyan could only put it down as soon as he picked it up, and replied: "Thirteenth master, the prince has given an order, and he will see the magistrate of Jinling tomorrow to ask about the money, food, and armaments......

"That's right, those people belong to donkeys, and they have to be whipped to move!"

Hearing this analogy, the corners of Gao Shuyan's mouth couldn't help twitching.

If the scholar officials learned that he was compared to a donkey by Zhu Jinghong, he was afraid that he would drown him with spittle stars.

"The Thirteenth Master also knows that the prince is kind-hearted and can't bear to blame the officials, but he is afraid of tomorrow...... It will be in vain again! ”

Zhu Jinghong smiled and pretended to be helpless: "These people are really hateful, it's a pity...... I can't help much! ”

"Your Highness is willing to help?" Gao Shuyan hurriedly asked.

Zhu Jinghong said seriously: "Of course, the fourth brother has always treated me very well, how could I not want to help him!" ”

Gao Shuyan nodded again and again, and praised: "The Thirteenth Master is sensible and knows the righteousness of filial piety......

"In the past, I mislooked at the Thirteenth Master, which was really the sin of the old minister!"

You are really straight enough, if I don't want to help the prince, I will sit back and don't understand the righteousness of filial piety...... Zhu Jinghong was dissatisfied.

"Where, where, it's just a pity...... I don't have any skills, I can't help the fourth brother! ”

Although he said so, Zhu Jinghong was already sure that Gao Shuyan must have something to do with him.

"Thirteenth master, tomorrow's matter, you can really help the prince!"

"Oh? What can I do? ”

After thinking for a while, Gao Shuyan said: "The Thirteenth Master can participate in tomorrow's deliberations, explain the deadline to the officials, warn them to complete it on time, and exert power on behalf of the prince!" ”

To put it simply, it is to let Zhu Jinghong be the bad guy, which is actually not easy to say.

This is exactly what Zhu Jinghong wants, he is trying to participate in various affairs openly, this is sleepy Gao Shuyan sent him a pillow.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong would not be too urgent, but he hesitated: "This ...... I'm afraid that the fourth brother won't agree to ......"

Gao Shuyan's expression perked up, and he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Thirteenth Master, I will persuade His Highness to agree to this matter!" ”

"Well, I've seen the displeasure of those officials a long time ago!"

Gao Shuyan smiled, stood up and said, "So...... The minister is the prince, thank you for the thirteenth master! ”

"Mr. Gao is serious!" Zhu Jinghong smiled.

At this time, Deng An had already made tea.

Seeing that Gao Shuyan was leaving, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly said: "Mr. Gao drinks tea!" ”

"Thirteenth master, the minister still has important things to tell the prince, and I won't be waiting for ...... Please forgive the old minister's rudeness! ”

"Mr. Gao, please take care of yourself!" Zhu Jinghong is not good to stay.

Waiting for Gao Shuyan to leave, Deng An looked at Zhu Jinghong, and stayed with tea.

"Look at what I'm doing, you drank him, don't waste the tribute!"
