In the study room, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui moved his arms: "We haven't practiced boxing today yet, but accidentally the sun is already high. Normally, this would be the time for me to study and drink tea."
Dong Zizhuang understood that this was Zhu Gaosui giving him an order to expel guests.
At that moment, he folded his hands and said, "Your Majesty is diligent, but my subordinates have been interrupting you for too long. There are still many things to take care of in the palace, so I will take my leave first."
"That's fine. I'm going to practice boxing right now. After I'm done, I'll calm down and read this sage's book." Zhu Gaosui stood up and moved his arms in a few circles, as if he was doing a warm-up.
Slowly retreating, Dong Zizhuang turned around and left the study.
Tilting his head, the figure who had been staring at Dong Zizhuang disappeared from sight. Zhu Gaosui sat down on the chair in front of the desk again and said to the remaining old man in the study: "Mr. Zhang, close the door.
."
"Yes." In response, the old man turned around and closed the study door tightly.
Mr. Zhang in Zhu Gaosui's mouth was one of Zhu Gaosui's personal guards, who was introduced to him by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty in his early years.
He is not tall and has a round and fat figure, just like the Maitreya Buddha in the temple. He does not have any mighty and domineering image. At first glance, the intuitive impression is that I really don’t know how this kind of person can be the King of Zhao Zhu Gaosui.
Personal bodyguard.
It is better to say that he is a guard than a counselor. This man called Mr. Zhang has given Zhu Gaosui many clever ideas.
Seeing Mr. Zhang close the door, Zhu Gaosui took out Zhu Gaoxu's letter from under the book on the desk.
"Mr. Zhang, come and take a look." He said, handing the envelope in his hand to the other party?
After taking the envelope, Zhang glanced at Zhu Gaosui, slowly opened the envelope, took out the text inside, and looked at it carefully.
Zhu Gaosui crossed his hands and placed his elbows on the armrests of the wooden chair, quietly waiting for the other party's opinion.
When Lao Zhang first came here, he was called Lao Zhang by Zhu Gaosui because he was a guard.
But as time went by, Lao Zhang, as a guard, never took action. Whenever he was confused, he could chat with Lao Zhang and he would be answered one by one.
Zhu Gaosui began to suspect that the person recommended to him by the King of Han was not a personal guard, but a counselor with the identity of a guard.
After that, there were several alliances with the King of Han against the prince, and it was Lao Zhang who gave the advice, which put the prince in a disadvantageous situation.
Later, when he achieved a little bit of success, he began to think of himself as aloof and no longer cared about Lao Zhang's opinions, which led to the later revelations and his father who almost deposed him as a commoner.
It was also because of his status as a bodyguard that his father killed all of his long history and several confidants, but Lao Zhang stayed.
During those days of detention, Zhu Gaosui carefully reviewed his failure process and suddenly discovered that since he no longer adopted Lao Zhang's opinions, he began to be in a passive situation until he was finally deposed by his father.
At that moment, Zhu Gaosui discovered that this Lao Zhang was actually the master who had been hiding beside him. Without his assistance, he was nothing.
After returning to Prince Zhao's Mansion, Zhu Gaosui began to pay attention to Lao Gao, and even called him Lao Gao with respect.
Unfortunately, Shi Dongzizhuang, the current Chief of Prince Zhao's Palace, was the person arranged by his father. In order not to be discovered, Gao Lao could only continue to hide as a personal guard.
After reading the long letter, Mr. Zhang frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, have you read this letter?"
"Yeah." He nodded, "I read the eloquent long speech of the King of Han. He talked a lot about the officials' accountability to the purple-clothed captain. At one time, he said that Ziyi had supreme power, and at another time, he talked about killing Cang.
Cheng is indeed a bit contrary to Ming law. I don't understand why he suddenly wrote a book and explained this great principle to me since he and I have already ignored the government."
"Haha." Handing the letter in his hand back to Zhu Gaosui, Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "On the surface, it is just a letter from the King of Han to the prince, but in fact, it is asking for help from the prince.
"
"Asking for help? I am being stared at by my father. How can I help him? Besides, isn't he staying well in Le'an Prefecture? He has not committed any crimes. Why should I help him?" Looking at Zhang
Seeing the old man's obscure eyes, Zhu Gaosui felt confused and couldn't help but ask.
Looking at Zhu Gaosui, Mr. Zhang put his right hand behind his back, raised his left arm, and gently stroked the short beard on his chin a few times with his fingers.
"Your Majesty and the King of Han have ignored the government affairs for many years. Today, the King of Han suddenly wrote a letter and mentioned so many specific things in the court. Don't you have any premonitions, Your Majesty?" Mr. Zhang said softly.
"Premonition? Mr. Zhang wants to say that although the second brother is in Le'an Prefecture, he has been paying attention to every move of the court?" Zhu Gaosui asked with his neck in mind.
"Haha. As sons of the emperor, some were ordered to supervise the country, while others were relegated to other places. The imbalance in their hearts will never disappear because they were suppressed by the emperor. For so many years, the King of Han paid attention to every move of the court. That is
It goes without saying. He suddenly revised his book. If my subordinates guessed correctly, the King of Han wanted to tell the prince that the letter signed by all the officials in the court to accuse the purple-clothed captain was planned by him." Mr. Zhang's voice was suppressed.
It was very low, as if it was afraid that the partition wall had ears, and he whispered like a mosquito flying around.
"This was planned by the second brother? Does he want me to cooperate with him?" Zhu Gaosui seemed a little unbelievable. After so many years of dormancy, the second brother finally had the power to fight back.
"At this time, the emperor has not expressed his position for a long time. The king of Han is a little anxious, so he wants the prince to secretly add fuel to the flames." Mr. Zhang said.
Holding on to the armrests of the chair, Zhu Gaosui stood up and let out a long breath.
"Now I want people but no one, I want power but no power, how can I add fuel to the flames?" Zhu Gaosui raised his head, with a trace of reluctance on his face, but more of a look of helplessness.
Although he lives in the capital, his father has arranged for his own people even in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
The thought of seizing the heir has never been extinguished in my heart, but so what, it can only be an idea. I don't dare to build my own power, I don't dare to win over the ministers in the court, I don't even dare to get close.
At this time, King Han allowed himself to secretly add fuel to the flames. He also thought about it, but what could he do to fuel the flames? Just rely on his own mouth to fuel the flames?
Putting aside the fact that his father did not allow him to go to court, even the prince would never allow him to interfere in the government affairs again. None of the prince's new troops and advisers were keeping an eye on his own Prince Zhao's palace.
Helping the King of Han is not easy!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The King of Han has already considered all this for you, Your Majesty." Mr. Zhang said calmly, staring at Zhu Gaosui.
