Chapter 255: Hatred and Hatred
Zheng Yong was turning those treacherous thoughts in his heart, but on the other hand, he showed an unusual sense of goodwill towards the target he was going to design and use this time, the fake prince Li Jin.
I saw him cough lightly, patted Haoxing Mingrui's shoulder very intimately, and said in a slow voice: "At the beginning, our family introduced you to the emperor, but it was because we were optimistic that you were clever and knew how to advance and retreat.
And you have indeed lived up to our family's hard work, and you have won the emperor's appreciation, so that you have such a powerful position under one person and above ten thousand people today.
Speaking of which, this is also a good relationship between our family and you. Now that you are in danger, our family naturally can't stand idly by, and we must try our best to help you. But—"
Speaking of this, Zheng Yong deliberately lengthened his voice, paused slightly, and at the same time looked at Haoxing Mingrui for a moment with a scrutinizing gaze.
Then, he continued: "But although our family wants to protect you, I'm afraid that we are also powerless! Just because behind the person who wants to harm you, there is really a great force involved, and even our family may not be his opponent!"
As early as the moment when Zheng Yong's attitude towards himself changed, Haoxing Mingrui guessed that this traitor must have given birth to some poisonous plan to harm others.
Therefore, he also tried his best to show a greedy look of life and fear of death, just waiting to swallow the bait sown by the other party.
Therefore, after listening to Zheng Yong's obviously tricky words, his fake prince immediately showed an uncontrollable panic, and asked urgently: "I don't know who the opponents my father-in-law is referring to? Could it be that the person who wants to kill me is not just the real prince Ding?"
Zheng Yong couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that he was afraid, but he deliberately made a solemn attitude on his face, shook his head and said: "You have not been in the court for a long time, and you don't know all the tricks involved.
At the beginning, the reason why the emperor put you in the court was to contain the fugitive Prince Ding, Haoxing Xiaoyu, so that he could not raise an army to rebel under the banner of Prince Ding.
However, there is a good and a bad in everything.
Although the emperor's move effectively prevented Prince Ding from making trouble from the outside, it also gave those with ill intentions an opportunity to take advantage of it from the inside, so that they could steal a higher position for themselves in the name of Prince Ding. ”
Haoxing Mingrui no longer pretended to be confused at this time, because Zheng Yong's words had been said extremely explicitly, and I believe that with Li Jin's shrewdness, he should be able to understand the deep meaning of his words.
So, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked carefully: "——, is the Zuo Xiang, what is my father-in-law referring to?"
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Zheng Yong couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
However, Haoxing Mingrui still showed a look of confusion and puzzlement, and continued to ask in a low voice: "Zuo Xiangmeng was valued by the emperor and seized the position of Tang Huan's privy envoy, and since then the military and political power have been concentrated in one, which is indeed quite speculative.
But what does his luck, which seems to have contributed to the work of my supposed prince, have to do with the real prince of Ding?"
Hearing him ask, Zheng Yong first smiled incomprehensibly, and then began to analyze the mystery for him step by step.
"When Zuo Xiang saw you for the first time in the Xuande Palace, he deliberately made words to test you, thus revealing your flaws. But have you ever wondered why he was so quick to become suspicious of your identity?"
Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help frowning when he heard this, thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "This is indeed something that I haven't figured out all along. It stands to reason that when Zuo Xiang entered the court, Prince Ding had retired to the rivers and lakes, and the two should have never met. I don't know why Prime Minister Zuo saw that I was not the real Prince Ding as soon as we met?"
"It's just because this Prime Minister Zuo knows the real Prince Ding at all!"
Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but be stunned, "What's going on with this ——,?"
Zheng Yong smiled coldly and said, "That Lord Zuo is not as loyal to the emperor as he usually shows. In fact, secretly, he has been planning to set up a new king.
And the person he belongs to is the prince who has made great achievements in war and has a bitter hatred for the emperor!
Therefore, he has been secretly watching all the movements of the Prince Ding. After he found out that Prince Ding was imprisoned in Jishi Temple, he secretly conspired with Xiao Yu, Prince Ding's apprentice, and worked together to rescue Prince Ding with the help of Xue Youyou.
This explains why Xiao Yu couldn't force him to tell the reason for Prince Ding's whereabouts even though he used the Endless Pill after being caught by Xue Youyou.
The mastermind behind this whole thing is actually the left-handed minister. And with his deceitful intentions, of course, he will not tell Xiao Yu, who he has already decided to treat as an outcast, the real hiding place of Prince Ding. ”
Hearing Zheng Yong's words of framing and framing that completely distorted the facts, Haoxing Mingrui secretly sneered in his heart, knowing that this traitorous eunuch had done everything in order to achieve the goal of revenge on Zuo Xiang's father and son.
In this way, the more desperate he is to attack his opponent, the more he will expose his fatal point. When the time is ripe, you can get rid of this traitor in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, Haoxing Mingrui deliberately showed a look that looked very puzzled, but he didn't dare to directly question this gracious manager.
I saw that he was stunned for a long time, and then he carefully worded: "I am stupid, there are still some things that I haven't figured out, and I ask my father-in-law to give me advice and guidance." ”
"Our family has already said that we have formed a good relationship with you, and from now on we should support each other, regardless of each other. If you have any questions, it doesn't hurt to ask. ”
Zheng Yong nodded lightly as he spoke, and the smile on his face deepened.
Just because he knew that the more Li Jin in front of him showed confusion, the more it showed that he had listened to what he said.
Then he will inevitably be persuaded by himself in the end, and willingly jump into the game he has set up, and become a very important chess piece that he uses to deal with Zuo Xiang's father and son.
And after Haoxing Mingrui got permission, he asked again: "If it is said that Zuo Xiang rescued Prince Ding, then of course he knows that my Prince Ding is a fake." With his deep city, he only needs to pretend not to know, so why would he deliberately tempt me with words to make me realize that he has become suspicious of me?"
"This is the power of this left minister! He must have guessed that the appearance of your fake prince should be at the behest of the emperor.
That's why Zuo Xiang deliberately made you aware of his suspicions about you, so as to attract you to him, on the one hand, he wanted to find out his intentions, and at the same time, he wanted to try his best to make up for the flaw he had exposed before.
In this way, he will be able to gain your trust and then use you to express his loyalty to the Emperor, so as to further gain the Emperor's trust in him. ”
"This ——, the intentions of this Lord Zuo are too sinister!"
Haoxing Mingrui finally showed a look of sudden realization, and his voice revealed a faint sense of fear.
"It turns out that he's been using me all along. Presumably, he discovered that I had gradually seen his conspiracy, and exposed his bad intentions for the Song Commander and Xia Shilang in front of the emperor, so he wanted to get rid of me in the name of Prince Ding!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Since you have learned all about the conspiracy of the Zuo Xiang, why don't you immediately report it to the emperor and order that the Zuo Xiang and his henchmen are all arrested and punished?"
Zheng Yong's thief eyes turned, and he pretended to sigh helplessly and said: "Why don't our family want to report this matter to the emperor?
Haoxing Mingrui was stunned when he heard this, and then asked dryly: "So, what the father-in-law just said is just speculation?"
"Naturally, it's not just speculation! Our family's Ouchi secret agent has indeed discovered that Han Bing and Prince Ding had met privately, but when he spread the news, he was poisoned by Han Bing.
Moreover, the Ouchi masters sent by our family to track down the cold ice have also disappeared one after another, it should be that after they discovered the traces of Prince Ding, they were all wiped out by the cold ice one by one. ”
Zheng Yong observed the expression of the fake prince as he spoke, and saw that although he was silent, he obviously still had doubts.
So, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Our family believes you, so we don't want to hide anything from you." In fact, the emperor ——, also knew about this matter!"
Haoxing Mingrui was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Then why does the emperor ——? not believe in his father-in-law?"
"The emperor naturally believes in the loyalty of our family, the head of the house. It's just that without any real evidence, the emperor has nothing to do with that Zuo Xiang!"
Speaking of this, Zheng Yong's face couldn't help but darken, and he said in a dumb voice: "It is precisely because the emperor believes in our family's words and is afraid of the power of the Zuo Prime Minister in the court, that he secretly ordered Zhao Zhan, the commander of the forbidden army, to take the opportunity of the competition to remove the cold ice and cut off one of Zuo Xiang's arms."
Who knows——, in the end, Zhao Zhan was killed by cold ice!
The emperor is also heartbroken about this, but he has nothing to do with the increasingly arrogant father and son of the left prime minister!
Just because in today's Dayu court, the Lord Zuo can be said to be enough to call the wind and rain. All the courtiers acted on the orders of the prime minister, and they didn't take the emperor's will into account at all!"
Hearing Zheng Yong's words, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but gasp and muttered: "No wonder Zhang Guangshi, the secretary of the military department, was so oppressed by Zuo Xiang that he didn't dare to appeal to the emperor, but just secretly complained in front of me, the fake prince."
And after the emperor heard me say that Zuo Xiang's desire was unfavorable to Song Qingfeng, he immediately promoted him to the commander of the forbidden army, which must also have the intention of restraining Zuo Xiang......"
Zheng Yong couldn't help but be even more proud when he saw this fake prince being so good, patted him on the shoulder very intimately again, and said earnestly: "Now that you know all the inside information, you should share the enemy with our family, share worries for the king, and swear to deal with the father and son of the left prime minister who harbor evil intentions to the end!"
Haoxing Mingrui nodded violently, trying to show a very responsible manly spirit, and said to Zheng Yong with a fist: "Today, thanks to my father-in-law's guidance, I will suddenly open the mouth!"
I think that I Li Jin He De can not be so favored by the emperor and respected by his father-in-law, so that he can have the endless glory and wealth he enjoys now.
Now that we know that the emperor and my father-in-law are being coerced by traitors, how can I be treacherous and stand idly by? I, Li Jin, hereby swear, that I am willing to obey the dispatch of the emperor and my father-in-law, and go to the soup to fight the fire!"
