Jinyi champion

Chapter 428 Turning Friends into Enemies
Zhu Wanhong's smile is secretive, giving people a sense of gloom.

It felt like a dying person at dusk and setting sun, brazenly asking people how to live forever.

Zhu Hao said: "Uncle, I heard the meaning in your words, it seems that you have the heart of disobedience!"

"No, nephew, don't get me wrong."

Zhu Wanhong hurriedly explained, "I have no other advantages, that is, being loyal to the imperial court... Loyalty is also a prerequisite for being a Jinyiwei."

The underlying meaning of the words is that my allegiance is to the imperial court, not a certain emperor, I am only loyal to my profession.

Zhu Hao knew what Zhu Wanhong meant. This was to test the next move of King Xing's mansion. From the perspective of a Jinyiwei spy, what are the conditions for the son of King Xing to be enthroned?
Of course Zhu Houzhao died!

But how can the dignified emperor die?

The chance of a normal death is very small. After all, the current Emperor Zhengde is very happy and healthy. He can even go to the battlefield to fight against the Tatar cavalry.

Then the only way to go is assassination.

That's why Zhu Wanhong asked Zhu Hao to say, "When will we do it?"

Doesn't this mean that he wants to know whether the Xing Wangfu has a plan to assassinate the emperor?
But after really inquiring about the news, it's hard to say which side Zhu Wanhong is on.

Zhu Hao shook his head and sighed: "The son is trapped in the capital now, and he can't go anywhere. I rarely see him. Now I want to take the Jinshi exam well... It's more important than anything else to be admitted to the Jinshi. I have a long-term plan, but I really don’t have one, uncle.”

Just pretend to be confused.

Who doesn't seem like it.

Zhu Wanhong squinted his eyes: "Nephew, even if you pass the exam, you still have to save money, but the exam for a Jinshi depends on the accumulation of time and time. It's not that the uncle underestimates you. Don't keep thinking about reaching the sky in one step. In fact, stay by the side of King Xing's son." , maybe you can rise to the top without taking the Jinshi exam..."

The most sober-minded person in the Zhu family is definitely Zhu Wanhong.

But Zhu Wanhong's mind is not to assist Zhu Si to become the emperor. He said so, but Zhu Wanhong didn't know that Zhu Si would attack the Zhu family when he became emperor?
Even with Zhu Hao's mediation, the Zhu family would not have ransacked the family and exterminated the family, but it is basically impossible to get involved in the Ming Dynasty's power hierarchy in the future. It is the best result to be able to escape safely.

In this way, Zhu Wanhong's purpose is ready to come out...

Using the so-called protection of Zhu Si as an excuse to gain the trust of Zhu Hao and even the Xing Palace, then play a dirty trick and make a "great contribution" to help the court solve the problem of the Xing Palace at one time, and then rely on Jiang Bin or the emperor The other dignitaries around made the Zhu family go one step further.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, when it comes to playing big plans, my uncle is the expert.

"Oh, uncle, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to live on one acre of land under my name... It's enough for me to be admitted to Juren. The big deal is to choose officials and become a county magistrate in a certain place. To benefit one side, but to be a human being, one must keep hope. Maybe I will be awarded a Jinshi after just one exam? Wouldn’t it be great to do something for His Majesty and the people of the world..."

One old and one young, you say a word and I say a word in a big dress.

Zhu Wanhong was full of expectations, hoping to dig a big deal from his nephew, but as the conversation deepened, he found that Zhu Hao could not take advantage of it at all.

Although Zhu Hao is young, it is really difficult to hear some rumors from his nephew.

"But uncle, I heard that the remnants of Prince Ning's mansion may attack His Majesty in the near future. This is a major event, but I don't know if it's true or not... If His Majesty is surrounded by many protections, it should be difficult for thieves to get them?" Zhu Hao suddenly sold a loophole.

Zhu Wanhong said anxiously: "It's okay, I'm here..."

As soon as the words were spoken, he suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Zhu Hao was puzzled: "What did uncle say? You want to help the remnants of Prince Ning's residence to assassinate His Majesty?"

"No, no, you misunderstood. I mean, with me around, the villain will not be allowed to succeed. Zhu Hao, you mean...there is a villain trying to plot something wrong?"

There was hope again in Zhu Wanhong's eyes.

The implication is that what I want is the movement of Prince Xing's Mansion, the so-called assassination by the remnants of Prince Ning's Mansion... You think I'm an idiot, would you believe such unreliable nonsense?
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "That's the news I heard. People are talking about it. As a Jinyi guard, uncle should be more informed than me."

The smile on Zhu Wanhong's face froze.

public opinion...

This channel to get news is really novel, why don't you say that the remnants of Prince Ning's mansion told you?Could there be anything more nonsense than this?

"Uncle will help you investigate... If that's the case, then you can go back... Uncle won't treat you to dinner, money is tight, and there is nothing you can do..."

……

……

Zhu Hao said goodbye to Zhu Wanhong, and deliberately didn't look back after he came out.

First let the people behind him relax their vigilance. Halfway through the walk, he suddenly squatted down, as if picking up something, squinted a few times, and saw the two people stop and dodge to the side.

Ha ha.

Zhu Hao thought to himself.

When I don't know your tricks, old fox?

Now you only know my public address, which is the inn. You want to know my private residence and who I usually contact. After meeting with you, you subconsciously think that I will immediately go to someone to discuss...

There are so many ghosts!
Zhu Hao judged from this point that Zhu Wanhong did not relax his duty of monitoring Xingwang's mansion. After Jin Yiwei reshuffled the cards, Zhu Wanhong, who had defected to Jiang Bin long ago, might have improved his status instead, which would make his hand The actual power on the Internet is greater.

Now Zhu Wanhong is no longer an enemy and friend, but purely an enemy.

Zhu Hao knew that there was someone following behind him, and his expression was calm. When he walked to the corner of the street, he deliberately looked back, looking vigilant, and then ran all the way through an alley to a narrow alley near Dongzhimen. Enter the house and arrange.

After a long time, Zhu Hao came out from inside.

Not far away, I entered another rice shop...

I went in and out of several shops, and finally came out at the back door of a chess academy, went straight back to the inn, and then closed the door to study in the inn room, and did not go out that day.

……

……

It was not until the next day that Zhu Hao left the inn while no one was watching.

Before leaving, he paid the rent, went back to the yard he rented, and arranged to rent a small yard again in the dark.

Zhu Hao's coping strategy is simple.

Now that you know that the old fox Zhu Wanhong has no good intentions, then you will come to the three cunning rabbit caves, so that Zhu Wanhong can't find anyone if you want...

At least after my trial is over, I will show up to deal with you again.

Two days later, Zhu Hao saw Tang Yin and asked about the situation.

"Someone is following me? Is it possible? I've been doing well recently. I go to see the prince or Meng Zai every day. I haven't had any contact with visitors from Anlu. I haven't seen court officials or old friends... What are you afraid of?"

Tang Yin's life was too ordinary.

The things he does are ordinary, so there is nothing to be afraid of Zhu Wanhong's investigation.

Zhu Haodao: "Recently, my uncle is eager to make contributions. It is not easy to attack Shizi. We can only attack people around Shizi, that is, us... I don't know what his plan is for the time being."

Tang Yin said with a smile: "He just saw you, did he just want to disrupt your plan and make you worry all day long?"

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded, "It's also possible, but is it good for him to keep us entangled? He obviously made some small moves. Isn't it a normal reaction for us to take some precautions?"

"This……"

Tang Yin has a free and easy personality, he is not the kind of person who acts with a strong purpose, but Zhu Wanhong is.

That's why Zhu Hao guessed that Zhu Wanhong should have a big plan. He doesn't necessarily want to make meritorious service to the emperor or the royal family, but he might also want to make some achievements to show Jiang Bin that he has the ability to rise to the top.

Kill Zhu Si?

It was too risky for Zhu Wanhong.

It is indeed a good idea to encourage Zhu Sixing to assassinate the emperor, and ruin and even overthrow Xing Wangfu... But it is also possible to help Jiang Bin cut off the wings around Zhu Si and eliminate the danger invisible.

But the most important thing is to think about what Jiang Bin needs...

There is no doubt that Jiang Bin needs fame and wealth.

But can Zhu Wanhong give it?
Zhu Wanhong doesn't have an intuitive understanding of his status?Will you have that spring and autumn dream?

Jiang Bin needs to consolidate his position in the court, or reserve a way out, so that even if the emperor suddenly said he would die, he would still be able to ensure that his interests would not be damaged.

Xing Wang's Mansion is obviously not the number one heir to the throne that Jiang Bin hoped for. As the number one heir to the throne, Xing Wang's Mansion itself does not need to get close to Jiang Bin to obtain political resources. For example, the two younger brothers of King Xing and Zhu Youzhao are looking for candidates in Prince Yi's Mansion or Prince Heng's Mansion.

These people themselves have relatively low succession ranks, and they need strong support from the court and China to have a chance to ascend to the throne after the death of the emperor.

Because of the need, it is easy to be controlled and used by Jiang Bin.

But just having someone to choose is not enough, Zhu Si needs to "behave badly" and then lose his reputation. When it comes to the selection of the emperor in this way, others will think that "the man in Xingwang's mansion is not worthy of virtue and cannot inherit the great rule."

It is obviously not Zhu Wanhong's task to find the successor of the offshoot of the royal family. He is staring at Xing Wangfu, and he has one and only one task - to ruin Zhu Si's reputation.

It's better to let Zhu Si go out to pick troubles and fight like the two brothers of the Zhang family, or linger in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, or say wildly that he can be the emperor... There are more direct ones, such as framing, a murdered People just ran into Zhu Si's arms to make him a murderer, or let him associate with foreign barbarians, and found any substantive evidence...

As long as Zhu Si's reputation can be ruined, Zhu Wanhong needs it.

There are many ways, but it is not easy to start. It is still necessary to start with the people around Zhu Si. It just so happens that Zhu Wanhong and Zhu Hao are uncles and nephews, and they have cooperated before. Zhu Wanhong naturally feels that this relationship can be used.

"What the hell are you thinking, kid?" Tang Yin saw that Zhu Hao hadn't spoken for a while, and his eyeballs kept rolling, which showed that Zhu Hao was playing tricks again.

Zhu Hao squinted his eyes and smiled: "I was wondering if there would be a unique question in this year's test that no one could answer, and I was the only one who could answer it, and then everyone would think that I had a close relationship with the chief examiner. , How about getting the exam questions in advance?"

Tang Yin: "..."

"Mr. Tang, you don't have to be so serious. I just remind you to be careful about my uncle. Don't think that I have any intentions. All my intentions are for you and Xingwangfu. I am a real person."
