high official

Chapter 433 Negotiations
Sandalwood incense is curling up in the Star Picking Building of King Jin's Mansion. Wang Xian and King Jin are sitting opposite each other, having a crucial conversation...

Although this conversation was a little sudden, it was prepared by Wang Xian long ago.When he returned to Taiyuan, he would naturally have to face King Jin, which was unavoidable and unavoidable.King Jin can't pass this test, all his efforts are in vain!
In the past, King Jin was not even interested in meeting face-to-face with this small character like him.In the eyes of ordinary officials, the imperial envoy is still a figure, but in the eyes of a prince like King Jin, he is really nothing, no different from a salted fish.

It was because he escaped from the net of Wutai County and got the card of Liu Zijin that King Jin paid him more attention.But it's just a matter of importance. Jin Wang still believes that he has enough cards in his hand to overwhelm him. Just pay more attention!

But during tonight's operation, the people below reported that they saw the daughter of the former palace chief Shi Longtan in the palace of the imperial envoy, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles!Because this means that Wang Xianzhen got involved with his elder brother... Reminiscent of the escape of Zhu Jixiu and Zhu Meigui's father and son, the betrayal of Yang Rong and Chen Bin, and the tragic death of the old princess, this series of bizarre events made him feel that there was a well-crafted picture. The net is coming towards the top of his head!
Zhu Jixuan realized that even if he killed Wang Xian, it would be useless... because the search results showed that Liu Zijin was not in the imperial envoy at all, so he was probably with Zhu Meigui, and Wang Xian was just a cover for them to put on the bright side , If this pretense is exposed, it will not affect the real killing move!
The more Zhu Jixuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason, and his whole body was immediately enveloped by a melancholy temperament. He really felt afraid. Even if he knew that his eldest brother and his son had escaped, and that Liu Zijin had escaped, he was not really afraid.But now, with these factors mixed together, he finally really felt the fear!
Although he still can't figure out what the opponent's ultimate ultimate move is, just thinking about the blow that the prince and his son teamed up with the boss's father and son has already made him shudder...

That's how the conversation on Zhaixinglou happened.

But to Zhu Jixuan's surprise, Wang Xian categorically denied that the crown prince and the eldest father and son were in the same group, and he seemed to mean that dead friends would not die poor people, which made His Royal Highness King Jin heave a sigh of relief...

.

Zhu Jixuan stared closely at Wang Xian with those heartbreakingly melancholy eyes, and listened to his categorical statement.After pondering for a while, Fang slowly got up and walked to the window, pushed the window open with his own hands, and looked out the window deeply. There was no wind outside the window, and the snow fell silently...

"What did you see?" Zhu Jixuan asked Wang Xian who followed.

"Snow." Wang Xian replied honestly.

"..." Zhu Jixuan coughed lightly and said, "Through the snow?"

"I can't see clearly." Wang Xian stared hard, but still couldn't see anything.

"It's snowing today and it's late at night, so I can't see clearly." The old eunuch hurriedly smoothed things over for the prince, "Otherwise, if you stand here, you can see the streets of Taiyuan City during the day and the lights of thousands of houses at night. "

"Gu Chang looks out of the palace from here," Zhu Jixuan said softly, "This will remind me that this is my kingdom, and I want to protect it."

"The prince is the King of Jin conferred by the emperor. As long as the Ming Dynasty is in existence, this is the kingdom of the prince and his descendants, and no one can take it away." Wang Xian gave him another reassurance.

Zhu Jixuan turned his head, fixedly looked at Wang Xiandao: "Can Gu trust you?"

"My lord can only trust me." Wang Xian said softly.

"You're too confident." Zhu Jixuan said with a trace of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "A Liu Zijin will also be an immortal lonely king!"

"My lord misunderstood." Wang Xian shook his head slowly and said, "What I mean is that only I can stop the prince from treating Zhu Meigui as a life-saving straw."

"..." Zhu Jixuan's eyes flashed a gleam and said: "Liu Zijin is in Zhu Meigui's hands?"

"It's not important," Wang Xian said noncommittally, "The important thing is that these two people hate the prince to the core, and the crown prince doesn't want to be an enemy of the prince."

"..." Zhu Jixuan snorted, and said for a long time, "It's a pity that I can't help the prince."

"The prince can help." Wang Xian said softly: "As long as the prince stays out of the matter, the prince will be safe. If the prince is safe, the prince will be safe."

To be honest, Wang Xian wanted to kill this bastard even in his dreams.Thanks to this bastard, he almost died in Wutai County!With his character of vengeance, how could he let Zhu Jixuan go?But there is still a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge... Although Wang Xian has the heart to single out the three Jins, how many nails can he drive with iron all over his body?It is simply impossible to single-handedly win the King of Jin, the officialdom of Shanxi, and the generals of Datong.Even if you have Liu Zijin and Zhu Meigui in your hands, you can't.What's more, he doesn't even know where Zhu Meigui is...

At this time, the only hope of victory is to disintegrate and choose one part to attack.Ordinarily, the thief should be captured first, but Wang Xian carefully analyzed the situation and decided to pick the soft persimmon... because the other two are too hard.

Prince Jin is a prince, and he is a freshly baked prince.If you think about it, you will know that with the emperor's face-saving personality, he will never abolish the successor he has just chosen after he has just abolished a prince. Doesn't that mean that the emperor's vision is too bad?Be deceived by the bad guys?
Even for the sake of face, the emperor would not touch Zhu Jixuan, at least not for a few years.Moreover, Jin Wang, Zhao Wang, and Han Wang are too deeply involved, even if they want to avoid getting into trouble, they will protect him to the death.Judging from the current situation, the advantages of the latter two are overwhelming. If the prince can hold the city gate in this battle, it is a great victory. It is wishful thinking to want to turn the tables in one fell swoop.

So fighting against the King of Jin now will only let the King of Han and the King of Zhao go into battle shirtless. As the conditions for a decisive battle are not yet met, the prince will undoubtedly lose.

Not to mention the general of Datong, not only is he inextricably linked with the general of the court, Xungui, but also he is not within the scope of his authority, and he can't reach it... Even if he tried to stretch it, he would be chopped off .

After thinking about it, only the officials in Shanxi are easy to bully... First, it is better to be familiar with them than to be familiar with them. He has been investigating them all the time.Secondly, these guys always only recognize King Jin, not the prince.As long as King Jin doesn't back them up, there's no reason for anyone else to stand up for them.

Of course, the premise is that King Jin really abandons them...

.

But how easy is it to let King Jin give up Shanxi officials?Not to mention that they worked hard for the king of Jin, but if they realized that they were abandoned by him, they would go crazy and backlash, which made Zhu Jixuan subconsciously refuse.

But Wang Xian's proposal cannot be refused... Should I fight with the prince and nephew to die together?Or is it better to trade Shanxi officials for peace?For His Royal Highness King Jin, there is no choice at all!

Before he knew it, what Zhu Jihuang had to think about had become how to deal with the aftermath and how not to let himself be implicated.And more importantly, how can Wang Xian guarantee that he will keep his promise?

"Give me Liu Zijin first!" Zhu Jiying said loudly after making up his mind.

"Liu Zijin can't give it to the prince yet, because he is still useful. But I have a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Xian knew his thoughts clearly, and unconsciously said with an extra envelope in his hand: "If the prince Promise, this is the amulet of the prince." He said with a slight smile: "Not only guarantees the present, but also guarantees the future."

Seeing the letter, Zhu Jixuan's eyes suddenly flashed a fierce light, and the old eunuch beside him also made a secret effort, wanting to ignore 21 and take off the envelope first.

But Wang Xian laughed indifferently, threw the letter to Zhu Jixuan casually, looked at the old eunuch sympathetically, shook his head and sighed.

At this time, the old eunuch also wanted to understand that it was meaningless to snatch the letter by himself.Because the crown prince is already on the verge of life and death, if the prince refuses to be neutral, he will die, dragged on the prince's back, and nothing will matter.If the prince is willing to be neutral, then there is no need to tear yourself apart with Wang Xian...so

In any case, there is no need to take credit at all.

No wonder Wang Xian looked at him sympathetically, he was really stupid...

Zhu Jixuan took the letter, and saw that it was written stroke by stroke in the beautiful regular script of willow style, "My virtuous brother Jixuan personally wrote it." He has a deep knowledge of calligraphy and has studied the prince's handwriting. After looking at it for a while, he was sure that it was Zhu Gaochi's handwriting. Then he walked to the table, picked up a silver letter opener, opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it carefully. stand up.

The beginning of this letter was unremarkable, nothing more than reminiscing about the past, asking for help, etc., but the last sentence lifted Zhu Jixuan's spirit:
"I would like to let go of the past with my virtuous brother. We are in trouble together today, and we will share wealth and honor in the future. If you violate this oath, let Lei kill me..."

Zhu Jixuan didn't care about the promise of 'together wealth and honor', since the crown prince himself was hard to protect, who would take his promise seriously?What inspired King Jin was the word "future" - what is future?Naturally, it will be the day after the emperor's death!What if Zhu Di saw it?You have to light the prince's sky lantern!
But having said that, with this letter, Zhu Jixuan is really not afraid of Wang Xian and the crown prince playing tricks...

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Jixuan put the prince's letter into his sleeve, and said in a depressed mood: "I'm finally sleepy, Zhong De is going back first, I'll think about it alone, and then I'll give you an answer."

"Then don't disturb the lord's rest." Wang Xian didn't ask too much, because there was no need to ask, Zhu Jixuan had already explained everything by accepting the letter.

The old eunuch sent Wang Xian downstairs, then let the sedan chair take him back to Xingyuan, and then went back to the top floor of Zhaixing Building.

Zhu Jixuan was in a trance, and when he saw the old eunuch coming up, he came back to his senses and said, "Tell me, how could I agree to him?"

"Because the prince is uneasy," the old eunuch said softly, "There have been too many things that happened recently, anyone would be uneasy."

　Although I was sleepy, I still insisted on coding and finished the second update. Please encourage me with a monthly ticket!Will send it out early tomorrow...
