Jinyi champion

Chapter 326
Zhu Youzhang was usually generous and kind to the people in the palace, he was generous and generous, and he did not hesitate to reward him, but he attached great importance to the family business. This was also an important reason why Xingwangfu and Xiangwangfu had a dispute over the land.

As a vassal king, what he cares most about is the inheritance of family property. Zhu Youzhu wants to leave more things for his children and grandchildren. To a certain extent, this is a normal mentality. The only way for people in the royal family to get promoted is to rebel. What can be left to the children and grandchildren are only fields, houses, shops and other industries?
Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo looked at Tang Yin with different meanings.

Tang Yin was entrusted with important tasks again. He is obviously an "invisible person" who cannot disclose his identity, but recently he has taken on more external affairs of the palace. First, he was in contact with the state government to deal with bandits, and now he even competes with the Prince Xiang's estate for land. come forward.

Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo had their own thoughts and did not speak out against King Xing's decision.

Afterwards, Zhu Youzhu took a symbolic inspection of Zhu Si's schoolwork, and didn't even say anything about Fan Yikuan's upcoming departure from the palace, but hurriedly ended the meeting because of another severe cough.

Zhu Hao was a bystander from the beginning to the end, but he saw the scene very clearly.

……

……

Come out from King Xing's study.

Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo chatted and laughed, and left first. Lu Song who was waiting outside accompanied Zhu Si back to class, and Tang Yin asked Zhu Hao to walk with him for a while.

Tang Yin didn't quite understand why the palace's publicity affairs were handed over to him, a refugee who was afraid of contact with strangers?

"Zhu Hao, unfortunately, what you said is that King Xing only talked about the internal affairs of the palace, and asked me to deal with the disputes with Prince Xiang's palace...I'm afraid you didn't expect this to happen beforehand, did you?" Tang Yin Surprisingly, there is a kind of luck that this kid has not guessed everything in the end.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Mr. Tang thinks that I can predict everything like a god, and I can see everything first?"

Tang Yin smiled and said, "Didn't you in the past?"

Zhu Hao walked on the road, and glanced at Tang Yin sideways. It's rare that this old boy thinks highly of him so much. Does this mean he is a demigod who can pinch and count?

"The dispute with Prince Xiang's Mansion, I advise Mr. Tang to stop it in moderation and not to force it." Zhu Hao said.

"How's that?"

"This is an internal dispute within the royal family. Only the emperor can decide. It seems that the status of Xing Wang's mansion is superior to that of Xiang Wang's mansion, but it is still just a side branch of the royal family... Just like the previous analysis, the imperial court intends to suppress the momentum of Xing Wang's mansion. Things are going wrong. Empress Dowager, the court will investigate, whoever is in charge will be unlucky, then even if King Xing doesn't drive you away, you won't be ashamed to stay."

Zhu Hao explained why Yuan Zonggao did not object to this matter.

I just want to see you, Tang Yin, making a big fuss and then retreating despite the difficulties.

Tang Yin frowned: "Do you think it is possible? This matter is Yuan Changshi's suggestion to King Xing? I mean, let me be in charge of contacting Prince Xiang's mansion..."

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded, "It's very likely."

"That matter is really tricky... It seems that Zhang Fengzheng and I have to keep a little distance recently, and we can't get too close, otherwise Yuan Changshi will not tolerate me even more."

Tang Yin had an attitude that after I put things aside, nothing could embarrass me anymore.

Zhu Hao hummed contemptuously from the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Tang, let me remind you that the mourning period for Zhang Changshi in the palace is about to end, and he will leave for Anlu in a few days. , you have to compete with two people at the same time, you have to suffer."

"Ok?"

Tang Yin has no sense of crisis at all.

The matter of Zhang Jingming's return was not a secret in Prince Xing's Mansion, but Zhu Hao didn't mention it in front of him recently, so he didn't take it at ease at all.

Seeing the outside of the academy, Zhu Hao was about to go back to the dormitory in the west courtyard through the corridor, Tang Yin asked quickly: "Then Zhu Hao, why did King Xing come here today? Just to listen in? This is something I still can't figure out. "

Zhu Hao stopped and said earnestly, "Because King Xing has something to ask..."

"Why?" Tang Yin frowned.

You brat is really good at bragging, King Xing asks for something?

Why didn't I see it!

If it is true as you said, then King Xing opened his mouth and just called you away without even asking. Could it be that King Xing is embarrassed?
Zhu Hao said: "Doesn't King Xing have something to say? At the moment, we must put the stability of the place as the most important thing, put aside the matter of paying tribute to His Majesty for the time being, and don't have too much contact with Zhang Zhizhou. Does King Xing's mansion just pay a little tribute during the Qianqiu Festival?" None?"

A look of shock appeared on Tang Yin's face: "You don't mean to say, that kind of... powerful gunpowder?"

Zhu Hao said solemnly: "Taking the gunpowder formula I made as a tribute is indeed better than anything else, but maybe King Xing also has doubts about it, because I have repeatedly stated before that the gunpowder formula is not stable and is not a perfect battlefield killer. It's not appropriate to use it as a tribute. Maybe it's just looking for me to find something else..."

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, and sighed: "Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao, you see the problem more comprehensively and deeply than I do, and you can think of it all. Think about it, too, you can take out binoculars and powerful gunpowder to make the palace Having benefited twice, King Xing will naturally think that you can come up with a more satisfactory tribute...

"You don't need to pay too much, and you can make His Majesty and the courtiers look at Xing Wang's mansion with admiration. No wonder they came to you. This is to communicate with you in advance and prepare for the future tribute and gifts in the Qianqiu Festival."

Zhu Hao smiled.

Is Tang Yin belatedly aware?

This can't be called hindsight, if he hadn't reminded him, Tang Yin wouldn't be able to figure it out even in a few days.

"Mr. Tang, don't say that King Xing is so deliberate. This is just a direction of speculation. The specific reason...Maybe King Xing just wants to ask me to mention more about the son, just because I feel unwell. How about letting go of the matter? Don't think about it, let's think about how to deal with the people in Prince Xiang's Mansion."

After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he didn't intend to stay any longer this time, so he left quickly.

"People from Prince Xiang's Mansion?" Tang Yin was still puzzled.

Zhu Hao kept walking, and his voice came lightly: "Although the land is currently in the hands of Prince Xiang's Mansion, the court has assigned it to Prince Xing's Mansion, and Prince Xing's Mansion occupies the title of righteousness, so it will seize the opportunity when negotiating. The Wangfu is the first to catch people, so they must first send someone to take the initiative to negotiate with the Xingwangfu, saying that they may not have arrived in Anlu... Maybe they haven't, in short, be careful."

Zhu Hao just analyzed the current situation.

Didn't say anything dead.

The Wangtians of Prince Xiang's Mansion and King Xing's Mansion are next to each other, who knows how the two sides will deal with this matter.

Telling Tang Yin to be careful is Zhu Hao's advice.

……

……

Tang Yin didn't take Zhu Hao's reminder seriously.

But that afternoon, Zhang Zuo asked Lu Song to send a message, asking him to go over to discuss matters.

On the way, Tang Yin talked to Lu Song for a few words, and casually mentioned Zhu Hao's reminder that Prince Xiang's Mansion might take the initiative to send people to Anlu for negotiations. Lu Song was greatly surprised when he heard this: "Mr. News?"

Tang Yin was puzzled: "Zhu Hao analyzed it, and I didn't know any information in advance... Could it be that he was right?"

In front of Lu Song, Tang Yin has nothing to hide. This is also the way Tang Yin treats his friends, and he also sincerely regards Lu Song as his own. He is a drinking friend and usually helps each other a lot. best friend.

Lu Song sighed: "Young Master Zhu is really good at predicting things! No, I just got the news from Zhang Fengzheng that people from Prince Xiang's Mansion will come to Anlu in these two days."

Tang Yin smiled: "It's also possible that Zhu Hao learned about it in advance and deliberately pretended to be the one he analyzed?"

"Mr. Tang, you have known Young Master Zhu for not a day or two. You should know him. He is really not the kind of person who pretends to be a ghost. Besides, the news of the Prince Xiang's mansion was only reported to the mansion this afternoon. It's better to go." It is impossible for others to know about it in advance through the internal channels of the Department of Etiquette."

Tang Yin put away the relaxed look on his face, and it became a little more dignified.

"But it's right to think about it. Either our Xingwang Mansion sent people to Xiangyang to communicate, or people from Xiangwang Mansion came to Anlu. With these two choices, it's not difficult to guess."

Lu Song might feel that his words hurt Tang Yin's self-esteem a bit, so he forced an explanation.

Tang Yin smiled wryly and said: "That kid Zhu Hao has spent all his time trying to figure out people's psychology. He has tried his best... I hope he won't be harmed by so many schemes in the future."

……

……

When Tang Yin saw Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo specially explained how to receive the envoys from Prince Xiang's Mansion.

"My lord, let's deal with it coldly first. The more anxious they are, the more indifferent the Xingwangfu will be... Our family can't accompany Mr. Tang to negotiate. Everything will be handled by you, Mr. Tang." Zhang Zuo said.

Tang Yin tried to ask: "Then the matter of sending congratulatory gifts to Shengshang for the Thousand Autumn Festival, the palace really doesn't care about it?"

This is to test another matter that Zhu Hao analyzed, that is why King Xing asked Zhu Hao to attend this meeting.

Zhang Zuo didn't understand, shook his head and said: "Zhang Zhizhou is obviously against our palace, even if the congratulatory gift is given, it will be given by Xingwang's mansion alone, and it must not be combined with the local government... Besides, there are some ordinary congratulatory gifts from His Majesty. , can it show the uniqueness of the palace?"

Tang Yin made it difficult: "It's not easy to find a gift that is better than others."

Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "Isn't there Master Zhu? Just like last year, if you set up a telescope, everything will be solved?"

really.

Tang Yin felt a little more horrified in his heart.

He was also thinking in his heart, maybe he had experienced too many ordinary things recently, and he forgot how Zhu Hao's actions made him dizzy, so he doubted his analysis?
It's really old and stupid, not even as good as a child's insight.

"By the way, Mr. Tang, you need to mention this matter to Young Master Zhu secretly to see if he can give... a good tribute. If he can win honor for the palace, the palace can spend as much as it wants... But it can’t be too much, Xing Wang’s mansion is spending money everywhere now, it’s better to save some.”

In the end, Zhang Zuo actually took the initiative to ask Tang Yin, and let Tang Yin act as an intermediary to send a message, reminding Zhu Hao to prepare for the emperor's birthday gift in a few months.
