Mr. Zhang standing nearby, in the eyes of outsiders, dressed like a bodyguard, seemed to be Zhu Gaosui's personal bodyguard.
What everyone doesn't know is that Mr. Zhang is the real adviser to Zhu Gaosui in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Listening to Ma Chao's instructions intentionally or unintentionally, Mr. Zhang never spoke.
He is just a guard, how can he speak casually when the prince is talking.
"Before, anyone who targeted the purple-clad captain was punished by the emperor. Now, because of him, the prince is in jail." Ma Chao said with a smile.
Zhu Gaosui nodded: "I don't have any hostility towards Colonel Ziyi. If there is a chance, I would like to coexist peacefully with him."
"Anyone who speaks good words for the purple-robed captain can make the emperor happy, and the prince might as well imitate them. Well, I won't be out for a long time. It's time to go back to the palace." Ma Chao stood up with a smile.
.
"Eunuch Ma, it's easy to go." Zhu Gaosui also stood up politely.
Seeing Ma Chao swaggering out of Prince Zhao's Mansion, the smile on Zhu Gaosui's face gradually solidified.
"Even a eunuch can show off in front of me. The reality of the decline of Prince Zhao's palace makes people feel desolate." Zhu Gaosui said.
Mr. Zhang, who had been silent next to him, smiled faintly: "Gou Jian, the king of Yue, could live on his salary and endure hardships, so why should the prince be brooding over a temporary loss?"
Zhu Gaosui was startled, then shook his head: "What Mr. Zhang said is true, but when a eunuch comes to the house, he can become a guest, and I have to smile at him. Thinking about it, it always makes me feel uncomfortable.
Comfortable."
"The emperor can ask his officials to greet a school lieutenant, and the prince will give a eunuch a smiling face. Does it feel like the price has been reduced? What's more, this person may play a decisive role in the prince's major events in the future. When the work is completed,
It would be okay to kill all those people who had brought shame on the prince, but now, we still have to let them do it. They say that the donkey is killed by the mill, but now the mill is still pulling the donkey, and the donkey must be treated well.
Feeding is not."
Mr. Zhang's few short words slowly relieved the unhappiness in Zhu Gaosui's heart.
"The prince is now in custody. However, it may not be that simple for my father to depose him. Maybe he will be free again in a few days. But now, this is my only chance. If I miss it, this will happen.
I'm afraid I can only be a King of Zhao for the rest of my life." Zhu Gaosui said.
"What are your plans now, Your Majesty?"
"Find a way to win over the captain in purple, and then try your best to find the mistakes the prince has made before, and add insult to injury to him." Zhu Gaosui had a trace of viciousness in his eyes.
Zhang Laojiang slowly put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Not to mention that we are in a hurry to win over the purple-clothed captain. Even if there is a chance, what bargaining chips can the prince bring to win over him? Although he
He is just a captain with almost no official rank, but his unicorn purple clothes almost make him a king without rank."
"As for the small mistakes that the prince made before, if the prince had not been arrested in Dongchang and the prince went to the emperor to mention it, the emperor might criticize and educate the prince. Now, if the prince goes to talk about the prince's past mistakes, with the emperor's wisdom
, I’m afraid it will be blamed for adding insult to injury.”
After hearing this, Zhu Gaosui was obviously a little anxious: "What should we do? This won't work, and that won't work. Are we just going to watch this great opportunity go to waste?"
"Haha." Mr. Zhang chuckled lightly, "My lord, have you forgotten what the prince did when the emperor wanted to execute you and the King of Han?"
Zhu Gaosui slowly turned around and looked at the smiling Mr. Zhang next to him: "What do you mean, I go to my father to plead for my eldest brother?"
Mr. Zhang stopped talking and nodded slightly.
Zhu Gaosui stood up, walked slowly to the window of the living room, looked at the few bare trees in the garden outside, and seemed to be making a final decision.
"It's perfectly fine to plead for mercy. I'm just afraid that if I really change my father's mind, wouldn't it be counterproductive? I only have one opportunity, and I don't want to lose it." Zhu Gaosui said unwillingly.
People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.
At this moment, he has to plead for the prince who occupies the position of crown prince. He is not afraid of failure, but what he is afraid of is success.
"Did the King of Han, after listening to Ma Chao's words, feel that now is the best time to defeat the prince?" Mr. Zhang asked with a smile.
"Is not it?"
"The prince has been supervising the country for many years, and the emperor has gradually become unable to do what he wants. Does the prince think that the emperor will depose the prince so easily? According to his subordinates, the emperor probably just wants to give the prince a beating this time. The prince begs for mercy, not for marriage.
The prince will eventually be released. If the prince can take this opportunity to show his benevolence and righteousness in front of the emperor, he may also improve his status in the eyes of the emperor. If he directly or indirectly embarrasses the prince, adding insult to injury, no matter what the means
No matter how clever you are, you are just trying to shoot yourself in the foot."
Looking at Zhu Gaosui, Mr. Zhang said seriously.
"Seeing that my father is getting older, the fight for the throne is still a long way to go. Perhaps, when the prince inherits the throne and ascends the throne as the emperor, I will not be able to succeed in this task." Looking out the window.
, Zhu Gaosui was a little discouraged.
What's the difference between the bare trees outside and myself? I'm helpless. What else can I do except grow some green leaves next year?
"Your Majesty's mind is a bit narrow-minded." The elder also walked over slowly and followed Zhu Gaosui's eyes and looked out the window.
"What the prince has lost is not only the favor of the emperor, but also the recognition of all the officials. If you want to take the lead in the battle for the throne, the support of the officials in the court is also indispensable. If the prince can win the battle in the court,
Your Majesty publicly pleads to the Emperor, begging him to let the Crown Prince go, and slightly praising the Crown Prince's achievements. The impression of the prince will be refreshed by all the officials. And in order to refute your plea, the Emperor will definitely tell you to arrest the Crown Prince.
The real reason, and when the time comes that the prince will act on his own initiative, he may receive unexpected gains."
"I understand what Mr. Zhang said, but I still can't accept it. Seeing that the prince has been in charge of the country for so many years and is now in Dongchang Prison, I wish he would die in Dongchang right away. I'm thinking, should we
The person who bribed Dongchang Prison can use some tricks to directly kill the prince in Dongchang Prison?"
Turning around suddenly, Zhu Gaosui's eyes burst out with fierceness.
"The person who bribed Dongchang? Who does the prince plan to bribe? Who can the prince bribe?" Mr. Zhang shook his head and slowly turned his back.
You can do whatever you want. Since you don't listen to my advice, there's nothing I can do about it.
You can mess with it as you like, the more chaotic the better! If the current situation can be messed up and the world is in chaos, it will save me a lot of energy.
