After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Although they were not able to see with their own eyes this young man who was said to have the same name as the former Prince of Zhenbei, the intuition of Prince Zhenbei and Duke Jing told them that this "Yu Zizhen" must be the "Yu Zizhen" they thought.

He never dreamed that next to his bed, there would be such a young and powerful Duke of Jingguo. He sighed and asked his confidants to call Chen Hushan and ask him about Yu Zizhen in detail.

After hearing his grandfather say that a man named Yu Zizhen had created a force in the eastern region that was no less powerful than the Jingguo Palace, Chen Hushan almost immediately determined that the man must be the Yu Zizhen he knew.

He was shocked and admired, and at the same time a little ashamed of how smart he had been.

According to the information sent back by the spies, the man actually claimed to be called Tanlang at first, but someone from the capital identified him first as Yu Zizhen, the former crown prince of Zhenbei, and then his subordinates revealed it to the outside world. It was announced that although his real name is indeed Yu Zizhen, he is not the Yu Zizhen everyone thinks. He just happens to have the same name as the former Prince of Zhenbei.

The spy also said that the person who identified him reportedly did not reveal his true identity to his face. After recognizing him, the person automatically avoided him.

"He's right." Chen Hushan's voice was hollow, "You don't know, but he has actually used the name 'Greedy Wolf' several times before."

Chen Hushan didn't know about the big things that Yu Zizhen was doing out of the capital, but she kept doing tasks and accumulating points in the capital in the name of Greedy Wolf. Over time, Chen Hushan, who was already very smart, was able to catch some clues.

He was one of the few people in the capital who believed that Yu Zizhen was not as stubborn, stubborn, reckless, and unable to control her temper as she appeared to be.

After having doubts about Yu Zizhen's character, he paid more attention to Yu Zizhen. Otherwise, he would not have caught something wrong with Yu Zizhen several times without Mr. Jiang noticing anything wrong.

Although he failed to catch Yu Zizhen every time, and although many of Yu Zizhen's actions were just inferences and guesses without evidence, this did not prevent Chen Hushan from believing in himself and the intelligence capabilities of those behind the scenes in the Duke of Jingguo.

He didn't need evidence, after all, he had no intention of exposing Yu Zizhen to the Lu family.

Of course, now he regretted his indifference.

If he had known that Yu Zizhen could actually hide it from the public and do such a big thing that would shock everyone, he would have used the hands of the Lu family to kill him in the capital.

At this moment, Chen Hushan was more discouraged than ever. He knew that it was his way of saving others that gave Yu Zizhen the opportunity to quietly strengthen himself, and it was his blind arrogance that made him miss the best opportunity to kill Yu Zizhen.

He has always treated Yu Zizhen as half a fool because of Yu Zizhen's unnecessary insistence on certain principles and bottom lines, because of Yu Zizhen's goodwill towards the emperor and his son and the common people at the bottom, and because of Yu Zizhen's stubbornness in being addicted to heresy.

However, the half-fool in his eyes made a big move that a smart man like him would never dare to think of without his knowing it at all.

he.
Chen Hushan tried hard to swallow his bitterness, "If the grandson guessed correctly, His Majesty and the eldest prince should also be in his hands."

Duke Jing could see that Chen Hushan was so hit by Yu Zizhen that he couldn't help but start to doubt and deny himself. He sighed secretly, stretched out his big hand and patted his grandson's shoulder gently, "I can't blame you. Even the old man and the King of Zhenbei, weren't we caught off guard by that kid?" He touched his beard, which was already a little gray but still neatly groomed, "In troubled times, heroes emerge, and heroes emerge as young men. We Unexpectedly, it was not that we were not thoughtful, but that the child was too weird. Fortunately, this is not a big problem that is completely irreparable."

So what if Yu Zizhen rises strongly? No matter how strong he rises, he will only be one of the four major forces in the world.

Duke Jing did not think that Yu Zizhen could close the huge gap between her, himself, and King Zhenbei in just ten years.

There was also the mysterious middle-aged general who appeared out of nowhere in the western region. For a person like him who was not well-known and had a low background, Duke Jingguo actually didn't pay much attention to him.

If Yu Zizhen was not Yu Zizhen, Duke Jing might have directly classified her and the mysterious general who suddenly appeared and occupied the western region as "accompanying".

The reason why he attaches so much importance to Yu Zizhen is, in the final analysis, because Yu Zizhen and King Zhenbei are truly father and son.

Although the king of Zhenbei quickly announced the death of Yu Zizhen and appointed Yu Zicheng as the prince of Zhenbei, there was obviously a lot of trouble, but now that Yu Zizhen has a strong army, the king of Zhenbei will definitely not treat Yu Zizhen as an abandoned son anymore.

People in their position, without exception, value benefits more than face. Duke Jingguo believes that when King Zhenbei receives the news, he will immediately eat back what he said before.

He said to Chen Hushan: "The King of Zhenbei also aspires to that position. If the news about Yu Zizhen reaches the north, he will most likely rely on his father's status to ask Yu Zizhen to give up the fat in his mouth. In this way. From what you know about Prince Zhenbei, do you think he will hand over the power he has gained to others?"

Chen Hushan immediately shook his head, "He won't!"

Duke Jingguo was surprised, "Why are you so sure?"

Chen Hushan then told his grandfather about the harmonious relationship between Yu Zizhen and Mr. Jiang, as well as the way he dealt with Princess Zhenbei’s confidants, “He has a very close relationship with Prince Zhenbei and his wife, especially Princess Zhenbei. Alienation.”

Duke Jingguo instinctively sensed something was wrong. He frowned slightly, "Do you know why they are alienated from each other?"

As the old saying goes, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. Since Yu Zizhen and Yu Zicheng are from the same mother, it makes no sense that Princess Zhenbei loves her second son to the core, but she doesn't have the loving motherly heart towards Yu Zizhen, who is the eldest son, right?
"According to the servants of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, their relationship was not good because Yu Zizhen was resentful of the prince and princess for letting him enter the capital."

Duke Jingguo frowned, "One-sided words cannot be fully believed."

Chen Hushan actually felt the same way. He nodded slightly, "My grandson can't find out any other reasons, but based on my grandson's understanding of Yu Zizhen, my grandson feels that he is not the kind of person who would blame his parents for this kind of thing."
