Chapter 212 Zhu Kai's Exploration

The capital, on the First Prince's Mansion.

The eldest prince Zhu Zhen is receiving the second prince Zhu Qi who came uninvited at this time.

Don't look at the two brothers who are friendly on the surface on weekdays, but in fact they are competing with each other secretly and tearing each other down.

Especially when Zhu Qi was named the King of Jin, this made the relationship between the two brothers even more tense, and there was even a big conflict in the court.

In the final analysis, it was because Zhu Zhen was very dissatisfied with Emperor Xia's decision, but there was nothing he could do.

Today, Zhu Qi took the initiative to come to the door, which surprised Zhu Zhen. The matter of Cao Boda had already made him very depressed these days. Now that Zhu Qi came to the door again, he must have malicious intentions.

Originally, Zhu Zhen didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Qi, and planned to find an excuse of being sick to prevaricate, but Zhu Qi insisted on seeing him, otherwise he would wait at the door and not leave.

"Daoist Shangyangzi, what do you think Zhu Kai is here for this time?" Zhu Zhen asked Shangyangzi beside him.

"Hehe." Shang Yangzi smiled lightly, "Our Royal Highness Jin's temperament is very easy to understand. Today he took the initiative to come to the door, he must have taken advantage of a certain place, and deliberately came to show off."

"Advantage?" Zhu Zhen narrowed his eyes, and at the same time kept thinking about everything that happened recently in his mind.

Could it be. . .

Although Cao Boda attacked Zhu Qiongxian on the surface, he acted on his own initiative, but in fact the counselor Xing Chunliang beside him was sent by Shangyangzi.

Zhu Zhen discovered early in the morning that Cao Boda seemed to have other thoughts about Zhu Qiongxian, but he knew that the two parties were not suitable, but he still ordered Xing Chunliang to confuse Cao Boda.

All of this was caused by Zhu Zhen secretly.

Xing Chunliang's real identity is Shangyangzi's nephew, on the surface he is a casual cultivator who has wandered around in the rivers and lakes. He has wanted to worship Confucianism many times, but he has never been able to do so.

At that time, Xing Chunliang originally went to join his uncle Shangyangzi, but Shangyangzi did not accept him into the Taoist school, but instead let him join the Confucian school.

According to Shangyangzi's plan, he is in the Taoist sect, while his nephew is in the Confucian sect, so that they can communicate with each other, leaving a way out.

Unexpectedly, Xing Chunliang was rejected by Confucianism, and the reason given was that his character was not good.

Xing Chunliang was confused about this, he was still very young at that time, it was the first time he set foot in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't do anything evil, how could he be given such an evaluation by Confucianism?

No matter how Xing Chunliang argued, the Confucianism Sect did not agree to accept him. Even if he passed the Confucianism Sect Exam, he was still rejected.

From then on, Xing Chunliang wandered around in the rivers and lakes, and learned some heretical techniques from various places. Later, he was found by Shang Yangzi, and under Zhu Zhen's arrangement, he was sent to Cao Boda's side.

It was also Xing Chunliang's idea for Cao Boda to prescribe Zhu Qiongxian this time. Of course, Zhu Zhen was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Originally in Zhu Zhen's opportunity, as long as Cao Boda succeeded, no matter what the final result was, Emperor Xia would have to come forward to resolve the matter.

At that time, the current calm situation will be broken, so that he will have a chance, otherwise, Zhu Zhen's chances of being in power will become more and more slim, and he will also have a chance to find out what Emperor Xia is hiding in the imperial study all day long. .

But what Zhu Zhen didn't expect was that Zhu Qiongxian was able to kill Cao Boda, and judging from the current situation, she was not affected by "I don't know".

Now that Zhu Qi actually came to the door in person, I'm afraid something bad happened.

"It's useless to speculate like this. It's better to meet him and see what he wants to say." Zhu Zhen ordered his servants to invite Zhu Qi in, while Shang Yangzi hid.

After a while, Zhu Qi walked in under the guidance of the maid.

"I heard that you are sick, brother, so the younger brother will naturally come to visit." Zhu Qi walked into the study and said bluntly.

Zhu Zhen: "..."

Being sick is just an excuse to say that I don't want to see you!
But Zhu Zhen didn't say this out loud, he could only chime in and say, "It's much better already, by the way, what's the matter with you?"

"Hey." Seeing that Zhu Zhen changed the subject, Zhu Qi smiled, "Brother, have you heard about that brat Cao Boda?"

"I heard about it." Zhu Zhen's face was a little dignified. "This matter also involves sister Qiongxian. Now it has spread all over the capital. I'm afraid there are not many people who don't know about it."

"This matter really hurt the royal family's face, but now there is no way to control the spread of the news." Zhu Zhen sighed pretendingly.

When Zhu Kai heard Zhu Zhen say this, a smile appeared on his face, "I heard that An Guogong and Cao Xiangwu both fought in Xinheyuan."

Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Qi curiously at this time, a little confused about the purpose of his trip, but he continued, "It's not uncommon for such a thing to happen, not to mention doing it, even if a few people die."

"Brother, you really don't care?" Zhu Qi had a playful look on his face.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"Hey, brother, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. Then Cao Boda is your man."

what!
When Zhu Zhen heard Zhu Qi say this, he was startled suddenly, but he still tried his best to control his facial expression, "Where did you hear this?"

"Brother, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me."

Zhu Zhen didn't admit it, but just shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense, Duke An is already crazy now, if he thinks this matter has something to do with me, then I will be in trouble."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhu Qi smiled, "I have an accurate source of information."

"Really?" Zhu Zhen didn't believe that Zhu Kai had any evidence to prove that he was involved in this matter, and the visit today was probably defrauding him.

"If I did it, I did it. If I didn't do it, I didn't do it. Don't try to frame me!" Zhu Zhen stood up abruptly, with a serious expression on his face.

"Brother, don't get excited!" Zhu Qi hurriedly explained, "I was just joking."

"A joke?" Zhu Zhen stared at Zhu Qi closely, with a very solemn tone, "Don't make jokes like this in the future, it's an eventful time now, and it's easy to cause disasters."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Qi said with a smile, but the expression on his face was very casual, obviously he didn't listen to Zhu Zhen's warning.

"In this case, brother, you can rest well, I'll go back first." Zhu Qi said goodbye and left.

After Zhu Qi left, Shang Yangzi came out from the dark.

"Your Highness, don't be angry." Seeing that Zhu Zhen's expression was very ugly, Shang Yangzi comforted him.

"Daoist, do you think Zhu Qi came to test me today, or did he really get any news?" Zhu Zhen asked with a frown.

"Obviously His Royal Highness Jin Wang got the news, so he came here today, but I don't think he should have any definite evidence." Shang Yangzi said lightly.
