This King Rui doesn't seem to be as simple as the rumors say. It can be seen that his men taught Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers a lesson and Zhang Xianzhong didn't say anything. Or Zhang Xianzhong has made some agreement with him to deal with this kind of thing.
Turn a blind eye and be too lazy to care about him, or else... a more terrifying possibility is that it's not that Zhang Xianzhong doesn't want to care, but that he really can't do anything to Prince Rui.
I wonder which possibility His Majesty would be more willing to accept?
And in the capital, I wonder what the situation is now. Have some people begun to attack me for being a remnant of Wei Zhongxian? If your guess is correct, the situation should not be very optimistic. I wonder if Your Majesty this time,
Will you still believe in yourself?
There are not many people in Hanzhong, but there is one family that everyone is familiar with. In the north of the city is the Ding family, which is next to Prince Rui's Mansion. The Ding family was originally a farmer. Later, their ancestors had some great luck and made friends with famous businessmen.
The Ding family also transformed from a farmer carrying a hoe to cultivate the land into a big businessman.
The Ding family has only one daughter, Ding Xueling, so they are particularly pampered. Many people dream of marrying this precious daughter of the Ding family so that they can inherit the Ding family's vast wealth. However, the Ding family is not so easy to get into.
When King Rui was first transferred to Hanzhong, he was not as good as the weak crown. The Ding family also took great care of the young prince. Ding Xueling and King Rui had grown up together, so King Rui had always been very close to the Ding family.
During the holidays, I would visit him personally.
Ding Xueling's affection for King Rui is well known. As a little girl, she doesn't want to make her clothes pink and red, but wants to make them white according to King Rui's style. Almost everyone is guessing how many days will pass.
This year, Miss Ding's family will enter the palace and become Princess Rui.
The future Princess Rui was throwing a tantrum at home, and the debris on the floor could not express her anger. A brave maid next to her came forward to persuade her: "Miss, don't be angry, the master and his wife are still waiting for you to have dinner."
"Just say I'm not feeling well and let them eat by themselves. Don't worry about me. I'll eat by myself when I'm hungry." Ding Xueling closed the door angrily.
The maids stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They were all about to cry but did not dare to continue to disturb the eldest lady and lose her temper.
Not long after Zhou Ze entered the realm of Hanzhong, he also heard about the relationship between the Ding family and King Rui. He guessed that it was true that the Ding family was struggling to find doctors and medicinal herbs for King Rui. After all, in this situation, the Ding family and King Rui were the most important.
They have been tied together. If King Rui suddenly dies and returns to the West, and Hanzhong belongs to someone else, life for the Ding family may not be so easy. So Zhou Ze can understand that the Ding family should want Rui more than anyone else.
The king can live a long life.
Hanzhong is very strict now, and the inspections along the way are very strict, but there is a saying in this world, that is, money can make the world go round.
Zhou Ze quickly got acquainted with a real wealthy businessman, and his team came in with little effort. This time he became a traveling scholar again. Along the way, he followed the wealthy businessman and listened to a lot of stories about Miss Ding’s family and Prince Rui’s Chitose.
He listened with great interest to the story of romance and made comments from time to time, often making the group laugh.
When they arrived at their destination, Zhou Ze parted ways with the wealthy businessman and his group. When leaving, the wealthy businessman said that he could come to him if he had anything to do. Although he couldn't compare to the Ding family, he could still talk to him in Hanzhong.
Zhou Ze was flattered and quickly expressed his gratitude to the wealthy businessman. He also said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely pay him a visit.
If Ren Yushi hears these words here, he will inevitably sneer again. If Zhou Shilang really goes to your house to ask you for help, I am afraid that not only will you have to help, but you will also be bankrupted.
Saying goodbye to his wealthy friends, Zhou Shilang continued his study tour.
After staying in Hanzhong for two days, Zhou Ze came to a conclusion that he could not believe even if he said it. Zhang Xianzhong wanted to withdraw his troops. This conclusion was not guessed by his own intuition, but was clearly made by others. Everything was almost packed.
All he had to do was lift his legs and leave.
The soldiers I saw on the street were all in a hurry, but they paid their bills properly when buying things. It seems that those vendors were right. The subordinates who showed their loyalty were better behaved in Hanzhong than in other places.
Much more.
He really wanted to see what kind of person this King Rui was, but unfortunately he couldn't go and visit him openly now. The question he had to consider now was, once Zhang Xianzhong withdrew his troops from Hanzhong, where would he go next and what impact would he have on the court?
Influence. In addition, once Zhang Xianzhong is gone, King Rui will have no trouble for the time being. If there is no trouble, will he go to the emperor to trouble him?
Is this King Rui really in poor health as the outside world says? I heard that this prince's illness was brought out in his mother's womb. This should not be a lie. If his illness has not been cured, then he will be like this every day
Wouldn't playing scheming make you die faster?
What is his purpose? For a person who is seriously ill and it is hard to say whether he will live to see the sun the next day, does the throne mean anything to him?
But if his illness has been cured without everyone knowing, especially the emperor, then it is entirely possible that he is coveting the throne and has evil intentions.
So the most important question now is to find out whether King Rui has the ambition to compete in the world. He can't be sure about this issue now. The only thing he can be sure of is that this King Rui is not as weak and incompetent as the outside world thinks. This may be
Soon everyone in the world will know. Regardless of whether he has the intention to rebel or not, this person must be taken precautions in advance.
His relationship with Zhang Xianzhong is also worthy of scrutiny. Zhang Xianzhong is not a soft-hearted person. What made him finally decide to give up Hanzhong?
It's a pity that he can't stay here for too long. With the power of King Rui, he may soon find himself, and he may not be able to leave even if he wants to. In addition, the time he has stayed outside this time has already expired.
It has been too long, and the situation in the capital is still unknown. If His Majesty has already become suspicious of himself, if he does not go back, it will only aggravate his suspicion of himself.
Zhou Ze's purpose in leaving this letter was indeed to hope that His Majesty would wait until he returned to Beijing to give him an explanation, instead of having his verdict sealed while he was still outside, just waiting to plead guilty and be executed.
He is good at guessing people's hearts, and because of this, he knows better than anyone else how fragile and vulnerable the trust between people is. Not to mention, even if Mr. Ren returns to Beijing, he may not stand up
On your own side.
Therefore, no matter how many doubts he had that he wanted to clear up, the only solution for now was to return to Beijing to resolve his own affairs. Zhang Xianzhong did evacuate quickly. As for why he evacuated, the reason was actually very simple.
