"Cooperation?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help being stunned again.
In his opinion, the only purpose of a talented and capable person like Mr. Zhang showing off his abilities in front of him is to gain his appreciation, so that he can seek refuge in the Palace of the Han Dynasty and seek glory and wealth.
Therefore, in this matter, although I am eager for talents, I always have a condescending attitude.
The distinction between priorities and priorities must not be confused at any time.
But today, Mr. Zhang unexpectedly said that the purpose of coming to see him was actually for cooperation. How could a commoner have the confidence to seek cooperation with the King of Han of the Ming Dynasty?
"I would like to hear what Mr. Zhang means by cooperation?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how miserable I am, I am still a prince. If you want to cooperate, you must be on an equal footing with me. If you don't have any bargaining chips, the word "cooperation" may be too big a statement.
"I will provide you with a piece of news, Your Majesty, and the request is that Your Majesty can send someone to help me when I need it." Mr. Zhang said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu frowned even deeper.
A piece of news requires me to send people to help. Is this news so worthy of mobilizing troops? Now I only have the guards of the Han Palace under my command. Is it possible that this person is planning to do something in Le'an Prefecture?
"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly, "Is Mr. Zhang's news of this magnitude?"
"As the second son of the current emperor, the King of Han has followed the emperor on the battlefield all year round, and has made great achievements in battle. Whether it is his fighting style or his behavior, he is very similar to the emperor. In the eyes of the ministers in the court, he should be the heir to the great unification.
Candidate. However, since Taizu, the order of elders and young ones has always been a strong basis for being regarded as the heir to the royal family. Therefore, there was the Crown Prince who even needed help from others to walk." Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, Zhao
The old man said meaningfully.
On the opposite side, Zhu Gaoxu's face became increasingly serious, but he had no intention of speaking.
Regarding the topic of the direct throne, there is no certain height and will never be discussed. Even the six officials in the DPRK did not dare to talk about it easily. What is the background of this person? As soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about what he was most concerned about.
on matters.
The most important thing is that if this issue is involved, the other party's background must not be small. What is he planning? Even if we cooperate in the future, can our own strength be equal to his without being swallowed up?
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu's mind was racing with thoughts, and he was thinking about more questions than he had before the accident.
Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu had no intention of speaking, Mr. Zhang added: "Now, the King of Han has been suppressed so hard by Dongchang that the prince almost collapsed and has been depressed ever since. In the final analysis, it is because the prince has no status."
"How do you say this?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but ask.
No title? The King of Han was personally conferred by the emperor. Doesn’t this count as a title? Today’s court only has one King of Zhao and one King of Han. If being the King of Han does not count as a title, Zhu Gaoxu really doesn’t know what counts.
Make a name.
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, the smile on Mr. Zhang's face brightened: "If the prince is established as the prince, Dongchang will have 10,000 courages. Without the emperor's will, they will not dare to take action."
After saying this, Mr. Zhang stopped talking. He picked up the wine bowl on the table and took a sip. Then he reached out and picked up a chicken drumstick and gnawed it as if no one was watching.
If having his right hand chopped off by Xiao Chen was the pain of Zhu Gaoxu's life, then the pain of not being canonized as a prince was far worse than having his right hand chopped off.
"Self-consecrating the crown prince is a matter that the father considers. Since the father has canonized the eldest brother as the prince, it means that the eldest brother has outstanding qualities that are recognized by the father. This matter is not something I can control." Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly.
After a while, he said calmly.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang stopped eating the chicken legs and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was straightening up and serious, in disbelief: "My lord, if you don't have the heart to fight for the unification, then I won't drink this wine today."
.The cooperation between us ends here and will not be mentioned again. I have no time to deal with a person without ambition."
Zhu Gaoxu still wanted to keep his fake face, but seeing Mr. Zhang's seemingly serious expression, he had no choice but to take off his mask.
"As a prince, who doesn't want to fight for the throne and gain unification? However, in my current situation, can I still fight for unification in a high-profile manner? This time I was suppressed by Dongchang, and my father didn't even bother to do anything.
In the eyes of my father, I am already an abandoned son. How can I compete for the throne with all my passion?"
Now that he had put down his mask, Zhu Gaoxu simply expressed his grievances.
"Things are planned by people, and things are accomplished by God. If the prince is determined to fight for the unification, we can sit down and discuss cooperation. If the prince is willing to ignore the court from now on and be a prince who only enjoys glory and wealth, we will do it today.
As soon as we say good-bye, we'll go our separate ways." Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, Mr. Zhang said calmly.
In fact, Mr. Zhang understood that even if he died, Zhu Gaoxu's desire to fight for the throne would not be wiped out. The reason why he said this was just a way to play hard to get.
At the same time, it also expresses an attitude towards Zhu Gaoxu, that is, in this cooperation, the other party must have a strong desire to strive for unification.
"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have made up his mind, "I will not beat around the bush. As for the struggle for unification, my determination will not be lost until I die. However, how can you show that you have the ability to compete with me?"
The strength of collaboration.”
Looking at Mr. Zhang, Zhu Gaoxu waited for the other party's answer.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to deceive himself that a person without any strength had to cooperate with him just by relying on words that almost seemed like the sky was the limit. This kind of thing was about making cakes to satisfy his hunger.
"I wonder if the prince has paid any attention to external affairs these days?" Mr. Zhang asked with a faint smile, looking at Zhu Gaoxu.
"Although I have not stepped out of the palace, I still pay close attention to the affairs of the world as always."
"In the capital, more than 600 famous school captains were killed and injured overnight in Jinyiwei. Did the prince know about this?" General Zhang leaned back and crossed his legs.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was shocked and narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the spies in the capital brought back the news about this matter, I was puzzled. Who was it that dared to massacre the Jin Yiwei in the capital?
Moreover, rumors spread around later that the real purpose of this group of people to massacre the Jinyiwei was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was in the Dongchang Prison.
At that time, Zhu Gaoxu had the idea of making a comeback and even wanted to take the initiative to contact this group of people.
Although the true identity of this group of people is not known, everyone has a common goal: to deal with the prince, and this is enough.
Now, Mr. Zhang, who was sitting opposite, mentioned this matter again, and Zhu Gaoxu was extremely shocked.
"Mr. Zhang, do you want to say that you did this?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly and tried his best to calm down his mind and look as calm as ever.
"I wonder if you are qualified to cooperate with the prince after doing this?" Mr. Zhang smiled lightly, picked up the wine bowl on the table, and began to pour himself a drink.
Hearing that Mr. Zhang admitted that he was responsible for this matter, Zhu Gaoxu was shocked and also had an unspeakable surprise. The force that he originally planned to look for has now taken the initiative to find him. This is really a surprise to him.
A great thing. If they can really cooperate and use their power to kill the prince, according to the theory of elders and younger ones set by Taizu, the position of the Ming prince must belong to him.
However, this matter has already been widely circulated among the people of the Ming Dynasty. If a random person comes forward and says that he did this, can he easily believe it?
"This matter has caused quite a stir, but I heard that the location is only a stone's throw away from Dongchang Prison. I would like to ask Mr. Zhang, why don't you rush into Dongchang Prison in one go and accomplish something big?
Zhu Gaoxu asked with a smile.
This question has been lingering in my mind for a long time, and I can't figure out why this group of people suddenly evacuated when they arrived in front of Dongchang Prison.
In one, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to further confirm the authenticity of Zhang Lao’s words by answering this question.
If you discuss cooperation with a charlatan, and people find out about it in the future, you will be laughing your ass off.
"The purpose of this is to make people focus on you, the King of Han, and King Zhao. After all, the Ming Dynasty who wants the prince's death the most is the two of you. Hahaha..." Zhang
Lao Fangsheng laughed.
Although such rhetoric was true, it was unpleasant to Zhu Gaoxu's ears.
The other party actually plotted against himself and King Zhao, hoping that the prince would hold a grudge against the two of them. Inadvertently, he became the prey of the other party. And by cooperating with such a cunning hunter, he had a slight chance of winning.
"Mr. Zhang is really a real person and has not concealed the truth at all. If you target me like this, how can I dare to talk about cooperation with you?" Zhu Gaoxu said with an embarrassed look.
"Does the King of Han want to know why I do this?" Mr. Zhang's words went straight to the bottom of Zhu Gaoxu's heart.
"Exactly. Why do you want to go against the imperial court and stir up a fight between our princes?" Zhu Gaoxu's face also darkened.
The fight for the heir apparent was also a matter between princes. Zhu Gaoxu still felt very uncomfortable whether Wu Luan would be beneficial to him if such an outsider got involved.
"I'm just asking you, do you want to be the emperor?" Mr. Zhang raised his head, his eyes like sharp swords, aimed at Zhu Gaoxu.
"I think!" Zhu Gaoxi replied without hesitation.
"I might as well tell you that I am the current emperor, your father's enemy. All I have done is to overthrow his rule. It doesn't matter who will be the emperor later. If you can do it, we will cooperate.
If that doesn't work, we will cooperate with King Zhao Zhao. Even cooperation with the prince is not impossible. What we want is not the emperor's throne, but his life!"
Mr. Zhang's words made Zhu Gaoxu, who had always been vicious, feel an indescribable chill.
