Jinyi champion

The next day.

Zhu Hao met Zhu Wanhong.

Now Zhu Wanhong is only superficial. With Zhu Wanhong's knowledge, he naturally realizes that he is facing a catastrophe.

Abandoning the former boss Qian Ning, he turned around and joined Rubo Ping, but this powerful man had no sense of crisis at all, and he didn't know it when his death was imminent.

"Nephew, what do you think uncle should do?"

Zhu Wanhong directly asked Zhu Hao for advice.

Zhu Haodao: "Whoever threatens you, just go to contact, but you still need to ask me?"

Zhu Wanhong looked cautious.

Although he is a member of Jinyiwei, and has no concept of loyalty to any powerful person, everyone from Qian Ning to Jiang Bin knows that he is the one who benefits. I'm afraid it's hard to look up.

"You mean... Chief Assistant Yang Ge?"

Zhu Wanhong is an old fox, so he naturally understood what Zhu Hao meant.

Whoever threatens you, just join him.

Are you Zhu Wanhong a principled person?
Since you don't talk about principles, what do you have to worry about?
Do you still need me to remind you of this?

Zhu Hao originally wanted to use Su Xigui to see if he could have a chance to communicate with Yang Tinghe, but now it seems unrealistic, so he should take the lead and ask Zhu Wanhong to communicate.

If Yang Tinghe found out that there was a Jinyiwei Qianhu who had confessed his sincerity to him, and this person was Jiang Bin's "direct descendant", would Yang Tinghe accept it gladly?

At that time, Yang Tinghe was surprised to find that Zhu's family was born for Xing Wangfu, so he would get rid of his prejudice against Zhu Hao, thinking that Zhu Hao was his own, right?
"Who else does uncle think will threaten the safety of Ping Rubo and your personal interests?" Zhu Hao asked.

Zhu Wanhong said: "Even if Jiang Bin dies, the Jinyiwei will still be the Jinyiwei, and the East Factory will not become the West Factory. Uncle, I really don't need to bear the infamy of being a stranger."

Pack!
"Then uncle won't go?"

Zhu Hao asked.

"It's better to go, but nephew, you must make it clear in front of King Xing, uncle, I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han."

When Zhu Wanhong came to see Zhu Hao, he also felt that the future throne would probably be transferred to Prince Xing's mansion. With Zhu Hao as his "virtuous nephew", how could he not make good use of this relationship?
But Zhu Wanhong seemed to feel that after Zhu Si ascended the throne, the government would definitely be controlled by Yang Tinghe and other civil officials, and his vital interests were also closely related to Yang Tinghe, so he could not choose to join Zhu Si's sect, and switch to Yang Tinghe's camp. Best choice.

But it's not a good thing for a Jinyiwei Qianhu to get close to the chief minister of the cabinet.

Zhu Wanhong wanted to contact Yang Tinghe's people, he could only do it secretly, and he had to prevent being liquidated by the emperor afterwards, so he said something like "I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han".

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I think the same as Uncle."

"Ok?"

Zhu Wanhong was startled for a moment, but then he understood.

My eldest nephew obviously wants to join Yang Tinghe's faction, and when the new emperor ascends the throne and can't control the overall situation, how can he be a second-five boy and "break into the enemy's camp"?
"Our uncle and nephew really want to go together...Nephew, don't worry, if the uncle really has the opportunity to meet that man, he will tell him that you are the secret agent sent by the Zhu family to spy on the Xing Palace, and we are all of one mind Doing things for the court, you are the queen of loyal ministers..."

Zhu Wanhong understood, and immediately said something similar to Zhu Hao's thoughts.

Zhu Hao narrowed his eyes.

This old guy has been pretending to be a bear, but he is actually an old fox who is too cunning.

As for Zhu Wanhong's choice to side with Jiang Bin, one cannot think that his vision is not good, or that his political consciousness is not high. If he is not familiar with history, who would have thought that the emperor would die when he was in his prime?If Zhu Houzhao survived, it would not be difficult for Jiang Bin to enjoy another few or ten years.

"The other thing is...to find a chance, you go back with your uncle to see your grandfather..." Zhu Wanhong said with emotion, "This time you passed the Huiyuan exam, and you haven't gone home to have a look...I mean the Zhu family."

Zhu Hao didn't answer.

Zhu Wanhong smiled and said: "Uncle knows that you have a quarrel with your family, so you can wait until you pass the Jinshi exam and return to your home. Your grandfather misses you very much."

Zhu Hao asked suddenly: "Isn't my grandfather lying paralyzed on the couch with a serious illness, unable to speak?"

"Ah... this..."

Zhu Wanhong immediately realized that he might have really underestimated Zhu Hao, and he could investigate Zhu Hao's situation, so couldn't Zhu Hao turn around and investigate the Zhu family's situation?How could the Zhu family's messy affairs be hidden from Zhu Hao, a young man with rich financial resources and connections?

"I heard that my uncle went back to the mansion and met with my grandfather alone by name. It seems that my grandfather can still communicate with you on the sick bed. You discussed things that your grandmother didn't even know?"

Zhu Hao continued to analyze.

Zhu Wanhong turned pale with shock, and said: "Zhu Hao, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. How can I have that? This... oh, we are all of the same mind, why do you say such things? You are too old Alright, when you pass the Jinshi exam, Uncle has a secret to tell you."

Zhu Hao said: "I was born not by my grandmother, but by my grandfather?"

Zhu Wanhong: "..."

"Uncle, I couldn't figure out why the same family received completely different treatment. If my father died early and came back after fighting for fame for the Zhu family, he should be given preferential treatment, right? Unexpectedly, the orphans and widows were repeatedly targeted by the grandmother. It wasn't until the second uncle knew what was going on, and people talked nonsense before and after, that it dawned on me."

Zhu Wanhong cursed: "Your second uncle, who knows a hammer, has never been able to keep a secret. I can tell you that your biological grandmother has always been alive, but she is not in the capital. If you are willing to help me... I may..."

Zhu Hao frowned.

The news came as a bit of a surprise to him.

It turns out that he has a biological grandmother?

Thinking about it, the version circulated by the Zhu family said that when the father was still a baby, he was sent to the Zhu family by his biological mother. After that, there was no news of the woman, probably because she was driven away, and others would not know. The whereabouts of this woman, but Zhu Mingshan and Zhu Wanhong should pay attention.

This is also the reason why Zhu Jia has always complained about her husband, was harsh on Zhu Hao's father in every possible way, and even wanted to kill Zhu Hao's father when he died.

Now the old man is probably being cured by the old lady.

"Okay, I will discuss this matter with my uncle in detail later."

In fact, Zhu Hao didn't need to sacrifice any interests for a grandmother he had never met, but from a certain point of view, he inherited this body, which can be regarded as a filial piety for the original owner of the body thing.Besides, the woman has been separated from her son all her life, and now she is the only grandson, and if she meets her in the future and takes good care of her, she has done her duty.

Zhu Hao suddenly thought of Zhu Si's biological grandmother who was still in the Imperial Palace of the capital, that is, Zhu Youzhao's mother, Concubine Shao.

After Concubine Shao and her son parted ways, there was no chance to see each other again. Now that her son died, she couldn’t meet or say goodbye. According to history, Concubine Shao was blind due to eye disease in her early years. Holding her grandson in her arms, Concubine Shao passed away in the first year of Jiajing, which is the next year.

Before she died, she was honored as "Queen Dowager Shou'an" and buried with her husband Xianzong, and she died without regrets.

……

……

Zhu Hao agreed to Zhu Wanhong's proposal, because he wanted this cheap uncle to feel that he had a "handle" in the opponent's hands.

There are two reasons.

One is the relationship between Zhu Hao and the Zhu family. Zhu Wanhong can be used as a trump card, and he can even report to Yang Tinghe in the future. Zhu Hao has a close relationship with Xing Wangfu, but Zhu Hao can completely refute this point, saying that he is just an eyeliner.

Before he fought with Yang Weicong, he casually greeted the people of Xingwangfu and the people who took the test, didn't it mean that he had "bad intentions" towards Xingwangfu?
The other one is to make Zhu Wanhong feel that information such as his grandmother's identity and address is used as a threat to let Zhu Hao use it for him.

Zhu Hao will not be blackmailed by Zhu Wanhong, but to make the other party feel that everything is under control. It is a strategy of selling a loophole and playing slowly, and taking a long time to catch big fish, so that Zhu Wanhong will jump step by step into the dug trap.

In the short term, there is a possibility of cooperation with Zhu Wanhong.

At least Zhu Wanhong was forced to give up Jiang Bin, a big tree that was about to collapse, and move closer to Yang Tinghe's camp, but even Zhu Wanhong knew that civil servants could not compete with imperial power for a long time, and in the end he had to rely on Zhu Hao's power, build a good relationship with the potential new emperor Zhu Si.

So in the end, the "rise and fall" of the Zhu family still fell on Zhu Hao's shoulders.

"Sir, there is a letter from Anlu, indicating that it is for you."

When Zhu Hao returned to his residence, Sun Ru brought a letter to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao read it, it was a letter from Zhu Si.

Zhu Si's letter was written very plainly, telling him that in Anlu he had learned the news of the emperor's illness, and said that his prophecy was accurate. cautious.

As a feudal lord writing a letter in person, or this kind of private letter, if it is known, wouldn't that be bad luck?
But fortunately, the focus of everyone in the court is not on Anlu, and no one would think that Zhu Si, a fledgling King Xiaoxing, would conspire with a Gongshi who has not yet become a new scholar. The letter is also from private channels. It was sent through Tang Yin's relationship, so there will be no accidents.

"Is there something important about Anlu?" Sun Ru asked curiously.

Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry about other people, let me ask you, Feng Yuan returned to Anlu and was waiting to be awarded an official. Have you thought about your future? Or do you plan to continue the Jinshi examination in the future?"

Sun Ru scratched his head: "Mr. Why did you suddenly ask this? I am in the capital. I eat delicious food and drink. My wife is by my side. It doesn't prevent me from going out to find flowers and ask Liu. Why do I want to be admitted to Jinshi or to be an official? Working with Mr. Is there anything more comfortable in the world than this?"

Zhu Hao thought to himself, what an optimist.

What kind of family education can produce such a bad guy?

Maybe Sun Ru was too much controlled by the family in the past ten years. Now that he is free, he wants to enjoy it. Running errands to do some jobs that can't get on the table, but he is a good hand.
