Chapter 818 Helpless Zhang Juzheng
Both pinned their hopes on the future emperor, and now they were just waiting for Emperor Jiajing to die, so they naturally refused to be kicked out of the court for the sake of short-term fame.

This is the reason why Gao Gong and Xu Jie did not participate in this matter.However, he couldn't hurt King Yu's heart, so under Xu Jie's order, Zhang Juzheng came to accompany King Yu every day for a while.And although Gao Gong didn't send someone to come every day...

He wanted to send someone, but there was no one. Could this person be sent casually?
If it is known that Gao Gong sent someone to see King Yu, news that Gao Gong publicly supports King Yu will be heard in the court.But Zhang Juzheng was able to come, because Zhang Juzheng was also King Yu's teacher, so he only represented himself, not Xu Jie.

However, Gao Gong also secretly sent a word to King Yu through someone.

"Don't panic, the teacher is here."

After King Yu got this sentence, he was excited for several days.But as time went by, Gao Gong never heard from him again. On the contrary, King Jing became more and more imposing, which made King Yu feel that Gao Gong was perfunctory and deceiving him.

At the very least, after seeing King Jing gaining power, Gao Gong got scared and abandoned him.

So, he started to panic again!

Seeing Zhang Juzheng sitting there helplessly, King Yu sniffed and said:
"Master Zhang, the fourth younger brother gave birth to a son, who is the only grandson of the father, I..."

Zhang Juzheng felt that he was constantly traveling through time and space these days, repeating the same words with King Yu almost every day.In order to appease King Yu's emotions, he had no choice but to say:

"Your Highness is worrying too much. Your Highness is only worried that King Jing will be expensive by virtue of his son, but the choice of a prince has always been established since ancient times. His Highness is the eldest. Naturally, he is the prince in law, and the civil and military courts will support you. .”

"Will the civil and military forces of the whole court support me?" King Yu said with bitterness on his face: "Not to mention how many officials support him around my fourth brother, just look at how many people are speaking for me now?"

Looking at the sad King Yu, Zhang Juzheng's heart sank slowly.At this time, Zhang Juzheng was far from the Zhang Juzheng who later served as the chief assistant of the cabinet.He is still young, the city is not deep enough, and his vision is not far enough.At this time, he also doubted Emperor Jiajing's thoughts in his heart.

Why has His Majesty not appointed a prince?
Does His Majesty really have the idea of ​​King Lijing being the crown prince?

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's silence, King Yu felt even more sad in his heart, his eyes were moist, and he said in a crying voice:
"Manchu civil and military support me? Now even Master Gao and Master Xu don't support me."

Zhang Juzheng explained a few words for Xu Jie, but he didn't know how to explain.He also asked Xu Jie several times to come and see King Yu, but Xu Jie refused all of them. When he asked the reason, Xu Jie just let him realize it by himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sighed, and the helplessness on his face grew stronger.Seeing Zhang Juzheng sighed, the last glimmer of hope in King Yu's heart was shattered, and the tears in his eyes flowed down unconsciously.

"Father abandoned me, Master Gao abandoned me, Master Xu abandoned me, Master Zhang...you go too, so as not to be implicated by me..."

A tangled look appeared on Zhang Juzheng's face, and he hesitated for a moment, feeling that stabilizing King Yu's mood was more important than party struggle, so he said softly:
"Your Highness, I think of someone. As long as he is willing to support His Highness, His Highness will have no worries."

"Who? There are such people in the court?"

When King Yu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was like a drowning man who would grab every straw when he saw it.

Zhang Juzheng struggled for a while, and finally said: "Luo Xin."

"Master Luo!" King Yu said with a look of disappointment on his face, "I sent someone to invite him the night Master Luo came back."

"How did he say it?"

Zhang Juzheng's heart skipped a beat, he still admired Luo Xin very much.Especially admire Luo Xin's vision.No one else has observed Luo Xin carefully, even Xu Jie has not observed it seriously, but Zhang Juzheng has been observing Luo Xin seriously. From the first time he met Luo Xin, he was shocked by Luo Xin's wisdom. Zhang Juzheng admired this thing even more.How can it be possible for people who can come out of desperation one by one without good vision?

If Luo Xin has already got in touch with Yu Wang, it means to support Yu Wang.

So, does it mean that, in Luo Xin's opinion, King Yu will definitely become the crown prince?

"He... didn't come!" Yu Wang said dejectedly.

"Not here?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, then his face became gloomy, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that Luo Xin doesn't like King Yu either?"

"Then...he didn't send you any message?" Zhang Juzheng asked unwillingly.

King Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he finally shook his head.He is cowardly, but not stupid.Know what to say and what not to say.

As a result, Zhang Juzheng was really disappointed.For a while, there are also some distractions.

"Master Zhang..."

King Yu pondered for a while, he felt that Luo Xin was very capable, but in terms of reputation and status, he was far inferior to Gao Gong and Xu Jie.To be honest, in his heart, Luo Xin's value is definitely not so important, and it is Gao Gong and Xu Jie who can really play a role.But at this time, when Zhang Juzheng heard his words, his face showed a disbelief, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous:
"Master Luo...is it really that important?"

Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "Your Highness, do you know that His Majesty rewarded Luo Xin with a golden pill?"

"Golden elixir?" King Yu's eyes suddenly widened: "You mean the kind of elixir that the father took?"

"En!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Your Highness may already know that Luo Xin was recalled to the capital by His Majesty."

"Well, I know!" King Yu nodded and said, "Didn't he be sent to Zhan Shi's Mansion to be Zuo Shuzi? Wasn't that left unused by the father? Why did you reward him with the golden elixir again?"

"Holy will is unpredictable!" Zhang Juzheng shook his head, sighed and said, "But I am sure that in this world, no one is wiser than Luo Xin, and no one is more capable than Luo Xin. If His Highness gets With the support of Luo Xin, there will be no rivals."

"Are Master Gao and Master Xu not as good?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "It's incomparable. But at the very least, it was Luo Xin who expelled the grassland Tartars, it was Luo Xin who put down the southeast Japanese pirates, it was Luo Xin who managed the Shibo Department, and solved the Ming Dynasty's finances."

"But... but... Royal Father shouldn't reward Luo Xin with a golden pill. You must know that Royal Father didn't even give Yan Song a golden pill. My fourth brother and I have asked Royal Father, but Royal Father didn't even give it to him." What about us."

In fact, Zhang Juzheng was also very strange, how did he know that at that moment, Emperor Jiajing regarded Luo Xin as his confidant?
"In any case, this proves that His Majesty is definitely not idling with Luo Xin, and should still have great trust in Luo Xin."
