Jinyi champion

Chapter 108

Lu Song didn't trust Zhu Hao.

After talking with Zhu Hao, he immediately told Yuan Zonggao the content of the conversation with Zhu Hao, indicating that Zhu Hao had the idea of ​​leaving the palace.

Yuan Zonggao was a little puzzled: "So, this son wants to leave the palace to avoid danger?"

Lu Song said: "Listen to his words, it's roughly the same."

Lu Song had the idea of ​​driving Zhu Hao out of the palace early in the morning. Now that Yuan Zonggao asked him to test Zhu Hao, and Zhu Hao clearly said that he wanted to leave, he had no reason to hide it. He wished that Zhu Hao would leave sooner. No one will become his "peer", and the risk of identity exposure is also greatly reduced.

Yuan Zonggao sighed softly: "Alas! It seems that this son is not willing to make sacrifices for the palace. Once in danger, he wants to leave and protect himself wisely. It's just that the Zhu family will not take advantage of his wishes..."

Lu Song thought for a while and replied, "He said he wanted to study abroad."

"Ha ha."

Yuan Zonggao smiled, "He has thought carefully, even thought of this."

Lu Song said: "Then Yuan Changshi, he has such thoughts, should the palace stay or not?"

This is what Lu Song is most concerned about. Before, he thought that the palace wanted to drive Zhu Hao away, but after going around for a while, Zhu Hao stayed on, and his position seemed to be more stable.

Yuan Zonggao picked up the writing brush beside the table and raised his wrist as if he wanted to write something, but because of Lu Song's problem, his mind was a little confused, the tip of the pen didn't touch the paper, and he turned his head back: "Of course I won't keep it."

After hearing Yuan Zonggao's words, Lu Song felt relieved.

The palace finally decided to drive Zhu Hao away, and Zhu Hao himself said he wanted to leave... There shouldn't be any surprises this time, right?
In the past, he wouldn't think deeply, but when it came to Zhu Hao, he gradually found that he couldn't use common sense to infer. Decisions... eluded him most of the time.

"But if this son does not fall behind in the year-end assessment, then what should I do..."

Lu Song was still a little worried.

If Zhu Hao said he was going to leave, but he got the first place in the exam, should he go or not?
Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "Since we decided not to keep him, what's the point of the assessment? Before inviting him to the palace as a companion, it was also to show the world that the palace is upright... Now that the traitors in the court are openly poisoning and murdering the prince, why should the palace be against him?" Showing favor to someone with malicious intentions?"

Lu Song was relieved.

It turns out that Zhu Hao's attitude is not important, what is important is the relationship between the court and Xing Wangfu.

Before the palace wanted to show outsiders that there were no secrets in the palace. It involved someone in the court who wanted the emperor to cultivate a prince among the heirs of the royal family. Only then did Xingwang Palace want to show the world the existence of the prince and show that he is qualified to compete for the crown prince.

But now, the relationship between King Xing's Mansion and the imperial court is deadlocked, this kind of overture is completely unnecessary, and there is no need for Zhu Hao to stay in King Xing's Mansion as a bond with Jin Yiwei.

Lu Song asked again: "Young Master of Jingzhi County..."

"Nor stay."

Yuan Zonggao had already made a comprehensive plan, and now he was just telling Lu Song, "A local magistrate of Fuguo County, who has no background in the imperial court and a family background, why does he try his best to send his children to the palace as companions? Even if he has no Bad intentions, but with his status, if Jin Yiwei puts pressure on him, will he offend the gang of traitors in the court for the Xing Palace?"

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Lu Song finally understood that although Jing Zhongkuan's motive was only political speculation, his actions could easily be taken advantage of by Jin Yiwei and put pressure on him, so the palace would not keep Jing Hong behind.

It took less than half a year for the position of accompanying the Prince's Mansion to come to an end. Whether it was Zhu Hao or Jing Hong, there was no need to stay in the Prince's Mansion to cause trouble.

Lu Song said: "I'm afraid that they will establish a deep friendship with the two princes, and the two princes... will get emotional."

Yuan Zonggao smiled and said: "It's rare that you can take into account the thoughts of the prince and the princess. Your son's status as a companion in the palace will not change. If you look for a companion in the future, you will only look for it from the children of the right age in the palace. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the palace again." .”

Lu Song nodded.

In fact, he didn't care whether Lu Bing stayed in the palace, and it was not a good thing for his young son to be involved in court disputes, not to mention that as a father, he was still caught between Jinyiwei and Xingwang's mansion.

If both Zhu Hao and Jinghong are gone, and Jin Yiwei wants to know more about the son, he will come from him. If Jin Yiwei knows that his son is still staying in the palace as a companion...

Lu Song didn't dare to think about it.

The heavy burden is going to fall on him alone!

Thinking about it now, Zhu Hao's stay in the palace seems to be of some use, that is, there is someone who can share the pressure for him.

"Okay, the old man will go to the school later to assess the knowledge of the prince and the princess. Recently, you should pay more attention to the movements of the two children in the west courtyard."

Yuan Zonggao finally started to write something, and he ordered, "The prince and the princess will not go to the bookstore to study in the past few days, Gongsun Fengyuan is preparing for the provincial examination, and there may be a new gentleman in the next year... You know, now we are not only We have to guard against the traitors in the court who are not good for the palace, and we must also guard against Prince Ning of Jiangxi, he makes small moves behind his back frequently, and his sword reaches the throat of our Xing Palace, so we must guard against it."

Lu Song hastily took a step back, and said respectfully, "I take orders from a humble position."

……

……

When Lu Song came out of the inner courtyard, the sky was still snowing.

He secretly sighed that Yuan Zonggao had planned everything well, and even noticed King Ning's abnormal movements. It should be because Zhang Zhong's poisoning before was related to King Ning's instigation.

He wanted to inform Zhu Hao in his private capacity, and told Zhu Hao to pack up and leave, but he felt that it was meaningless to do so. Zhu Hao was already ready to leave, and perhaps he had already calculated that he would go to the palace next time. What's the trend?
"Could it be that he knew that the palace had no intention of keeping him, so he was ready to leave, and he pretended to say goodbye to me, as if he was telling me about the funeral, and told me clearly, this kid... shouldn't be exhausted Make a plan? Yuan Changshi makes a decision and then moves, how can outsiders easily detect his thoughts?"

When he came to the west gate of the palace, Lu Song suddenly thought of something, and asked the guards beside him, "Have you seen Zhu Hao?"

The guard replied: "It seems to have gone out."

"What? He... went out?"

Lu Song was taken aback, thinking to himself, this kid came back one day earlier, and even met Zhu San and Zhu Si, this may be the last time they met, and then they left the palace, what is this?
As he was about to go home, he immediately changed his mind and went straight to the west.

He expected that the bookstore would be closed due to heavy snow and severe cold, but he didn’t know that although there were few people that day, because of the small number of people and the cheap ticket price, many people braved the snow to watch the new “Legend of the White Snake”. In the front row of the crowd, Zhu Hao sat there, cracking sunflower seeds and watching a play, acting like no one else was around.

"Your Excellency, can you show me your ticket?"

Someone came to block Lu Song's way.

But when he saw the military officer's uniform in Lu Song's cloak and the saber around his waist, the man hurriedly stepped aside and dared not speak any more.

Lu Song sat down on the seat next to Zhu Hao, and looked sideways with his eyes like torches, "You boy, you ran out to watch the play without getting hot when you returned to the palace? Isn't this the play you wrote? I saw it. Many times, is it interesting?"

Lu Songben was a little thirsty, and wanted to pour a cup of tea, but reached out to touch the teapot but found it was cold.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I just came here, and the two guests couldn't stand the cold wind and left, so I sat down... Lu Dianzhan is really everywhere."

Lu Song frowned upon hearing this.

This seemed to explain why there happened to be an empty seat here, but he didn't see the person who left when he came over. Could it be too coincidental?
"Someone send a pot of hot tea to Lu Dianzhan?" Zhu Hao asked.

Lu Song shook his head: "No need, just say a few words and leave."

Zhu Hao nodded: "That's right. Lu Dianzhan is not on duty tonight. It's time to go back to his wife and children to warm up the kang. Mrs. Zun is not in the palace today, right? I think the palace is sending out new year's goods, and many guards have brought eggs and left... ...This is the second batch of New Year's goods this year..."

Lu Song found that Zhu Hao observed very carefully.

Zhu Hao continued to look at the stage, and Lu Song followed his line of sight, but saw that the girls in green and white were still singing. When Xu Xian first appeared on the stage, all three actors blushed because of the cold weather. It's light makeup, but it looks like it's wearing bright makeup.

The woman in white...

His face is brighter.

It was the third time for Lu Song to watch this play, but he didn't watch it carefully the first three times. This time, he was able to put aside all distracting thoughts and enjoy it. Have you met Yuan Changshi?"

Lu Song immediately collected his mind, and looked at Zhu Hao sideways: "You know?"

Zhu Hao said: "I guess you not only went to see Yuan Changshi, but also told him what we said. He told you that Jinghong and I will not stay in the palace after the next year, right?"

"you……"

Lu Song stared wide-eyed, feeling incredible, this kid can guess all this?Then the conversation he had with him before... Didn't he deliberately let himself get caught?
"Did Lu Dianzhan want to say, am I afraid that you will tell Yuan Changshi what I said now? Not afraid, because the result will be the same whether you say it or not, I still have to go, don't I? What I'm thinking now is why I don't know Leaving Anlu unknowingly, not letting Jin Yiwei and the Zhu family find out...

"However, this is a bit difficult. Once the family finds me, I may be trapped in a cage and cannot get out...Can Lu Dianzhan help?"

At the end of Zhu Hao's speech, he actually made a request?
Lu Song didn't understand even more, and asked after a long sigh of relief: "Since the palace wants you to leave, the Zhu family can't be unreasonable, right? Why did you leave Anlu quietly?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands and said, "If the Zhu family was reasonable, maybe I didn't even need to consider entering the palace at the beginning. How comfortable is it to study outside? The palace is full of dangers. It will be burned to death today, and someone will poison it tomorrow... What should you do?" Is it fun? It’s fine if Lu Dianzhan refuses to help.”

Lu Song didn't intend to take over.

If you leave Anlu, what does it matter to me?It is my greatest respect for you not to inform me.

Zhu Haodao: "One thing I hope Lu Dianzhan will tell Yuan Changshi that King Ning's ambitions are now revealed. No, the theater troupe has just received a letter sent by King Ning, saying that there will be a lobby meeting in Nanchang, Jiangxi after the next year." , promised a generous reward, and famous theater troupes from all over the country have received invitations, even our small troupe that has just established in Anlu not long ago... I don’t know where they got the news.”

"Oh? You want to take the theater troupe to Nanchang?" Lu Song frowned, but the news Zhu Hao brought coincided with Yuan Zonggao's idea that he needed to be on guard against Prince Ning's Mansion.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Well, actually, what I want to say is that King Ning made such a big move to invite troupes from all over the world to gather in Nanchang, in fact, he wanted to find a good troupe and send it to the capital to curry favor with His Majesty.

"I just want to go out for a study tour. Nanchang is also good. Although the ground in Jiangxi is not flat, as the saying goes, it's dark under the lights. Nanchang city is the safest place in the world for the time being... Besides, there is an acquaintance over there, I want to visit him , and by the way, persuade him...to return from the wrong way."
