Chapter 61 Military Advisor (3)
. "I don't know what Brother Zhu said to be hard-hearted?" I suppressed my thoughts, and I glanced at Zhu Zhu and said, "If Brother Zhu can help me, then Zhu Changluo, I will definitely obey Brother Zhu's words."
Zhu Zhu laughed and said, "Your Highness Rui, don't take things too simple." After a slight pause, he suddenly asked, "If the King of Yan and His Highness defeat the King's Army in the future, then this great country belongs to the King of Yan. I don't know how your Highness should deal with it at that time, and what are the plans?"
Zhu Zhu once again asked about things I had never considered before. Although I always thought I was not a short-sighted person, I suddenly realized that I was not a far-sighted person. At least compared to the fat man in front of me, I was like this. Perhaps because I had been familiar with history books, I was already worried about the struggles between the palace and the mutual destruction between flesh and blood that Zhu Zhu asked about, so I had some thoughts of escaping and never "planning" for my future.
Zhu Zhu looked at me meaningfully, and seemed not to want me to think about it more, and continued to ask: "For your great contribution to your Highness, your Highness, this time, the King of Yan should make Your Highness the crown prince. I wonder if Your Highness has such thoughts?"
I frowned when I heard this and thought to myself: "Indeed, although I have never thought about what to ask for, this time I have worked hard to win the world for my father. I am afraid that I have no expectations for the position of the crown prince in my heart." But this thought only flashed in my heart, and I immediately shook my head and said: "The father will not make me the crown prince."
Zhu Zhu smiled and said, "Your Highness is worthy of being an extremely talented person. It is rare that you can still see the current situation clearly at this time. If Your Highness of the King of Yan can win the world, then he will definitely have concerns in his heart. The concerns will make future generations call him a thief who "plans to usurp the throne" and are also afraid that his descendants will retake the same mistakes. Because of this, Your Highness of Yan will pay more attention to the order of the elders and the younger generation, and it is unquestionable to establish the elders as kings. On the contrary, Your Highness of Yan will control you more, in case you will have the intention of rebellion after a hundred years."
I was shocked. Thinking about Zhu Zhu's words, it was really true. I looked at the unpretentious man in front of me, and I felt that he had grasped the hearts of people, and I was afraid that he had reached the point of being able to do everything.
In fact, I had long thought that even if my father ascended the throne and became the world in the future, I was afraid that he would learn from the experience of the emperor and his own. It would also slowly weaken the strength of the border vassals, and the withdrawal of the vassal was inevitable. However, as the son of my father, I also had a trace of luck in my heart. I thought that with my relationship with my father, the father would not make things difficult for me no matter what, so I have never thought about this issue.
Until this time, after listening to Zhu Zhudi's words, I finally had a glimmer of enlightenment. That is, my father is a person who "does not care about the details of his great things". Even if I am his biological son, he will still deal with me for his "world".
"Your Highness Rui. Do you know when you have the most chance to compete for the world?" Zhu Zhu looked at me with half-squinted eyes and asked indifferently.
My heart suddenly jumped when I heard this. I was not a stupid person either. I had already vaguely guessed what Zhu Zhu wanted to say. But I quickly calmed down, waved my hand and said to the guards behind me: "You go out and guard first. Without the order of the lonely, you can't let anyone come in."
There was no one in the tavern, so I said that. The guards quickly walked to the door and guarded them not to come in. At the same time, I saw Liu Mengjuan looking at Zhu Zhu in surprise, as if I didn't expect Zhu Zhu to look so deep.
"Brother Zhu, please give me some advice!" I stared at Zhu Zhu's eyes tightly and said to him lightly.
"After King Yan ascended the throne, the first thing to do was to withdraw the vassal states. If King Rui wanted to get the world, unless His Highness of the King of Yan would die within two years." Zhu Zhu finished his words slowly, looking back at me without any hesitation.
"Unless...he...didn't die..." Feeling Zhu Zhu's burning eyes, I repeated his words twice softly, and suddenly I suddenly realized something in my heart. My whole body was shocked involuntarily and said, "You...you mean..."
Zhu Zhu seemed very proud to be able to scare me like this. After a smile, he said, "When His Highness King Yan as soon as he ascended the throne, he was proud and would definitely reward you with great rewards. You can get a lot of benefits from this. As long as your Highness makes good use of these benefits, you will definitely become the world's most powerful vassal in the future. What's more, if you want to withdraw the vassal, you and Your Highness King Yan will still be "our family". Therefore, Your Highness King Yan will first place the target of withdrawing the vassal, Ning Wang in the north, which will give Your Highness a chance to relieve his anger."
After a slight pause, Zhu Zhu suddenly leaned forward and said in a voice that I could hear: "If you want to do this world, Your Highness, Your Highness, King Yan, must die within two years, because only in this way can your Highness be the strongest among the brothers and the most qualified to compete for the throne."
Although I had known what Zhu Zhu wanted to say for a long time, when he said it without any concealment, I still felt that I could not stand it because his words clearly meant to instigate me to kill my father.
"You...how could you let Your Highness do such a thing?" My face must not look very good, because before I could speak, Liu Mengjuan, who was beside me, immediately scolded Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu waved his hand to Liu Mengjuan generously and continued to say to me: "Didn't your highness say you should obey my advice? This is what I meant before. If your Highness really wants me, Zhu Zhu, to do things for you, you must be cruel in your heart. As the saying goes, you are not a husband. If you want this world, how can you be kind to a woman?" When Zhu Zhu said that, Zhu looked at the sky outside the tavern and sighed with some emotion: "Master said back then that the promising kings since ancient times must be people who do great good and do great evil. If your Highness is not cruel, then you have to think that I have never said what I said today. As long as your Highness acts carefully and does not get involved in the storm of power, you can still maintain wealth and peace for a lifetime with your highness's talent."
After hearing his words, I was very moved, but I thought it was true. If I could really defeat the army of kings this time, my reputation would be at its peak. Whether it is literary or martial arts, where can anyone be compared with me among my father's sons? As long as I can win the throne, although I dare not say what kind of wise king I am, I believe that I can at least be able to keep the world safe and let the people have enough food and clothing - "But can I kill my father?" The thoughts of good and evil are constantly fighting in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask Zhu Zhu casually: "I don't know who respected the teacher?"
Zhu Zhu did not hide it and said, "I won't mention my master's name, but people in the world call him Mr. Qingtian."
"Mr. Qingtian Liu Bowen?" I was secretly shocked, feeling a little unexpected, but I also took it for granted. Who else can teach a disciple like Zhu Zhu in the world besides him?
You should know that Mr. Qingtian Liu Bowen was the number one military advisor when the emperor's grandfather conquered the world. Legend has it that he was extremely wise throughout his life. He not only knew astronomy and geography, but also was able to calculate and judge things from thousands of years ago. In fact, he was already considered a living god. I remember reading a sentence from Mr. Qingtian in a book. I have always regarded it as a motto. The general meaning of that sentence is roughly: The weak will complain that they are born at the wrong time in troubled times, and they will complain that they are not satisfied with their talents in governing the world. Only the strong will strive for self-improvement no matter when they are at all times.
In the past, I was only as famous as Mr. Qingtian. It was not until after meeting Zhu Zhu that I truly felt that Mr. Qingtian was really a savvy person. No wonder he heard the emperor's grandfather talk about him more than once, and he always said something: "If Bowen was still by my side, how could I be so distressed?"
As I thought about this, I became more and more determined to make Zhu Zhu my aide. After pondering for a while, I said, "Brother Zhu, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can allow me to think more." After a slight pause, I said, "But please agree to my account to help me first no matter what!"
When Zhu Zhu saw me say this, he was stunned at first, then he thought silently for a while, then shook his head and said, "It seems that King Rui is not someone who can let me show my strengths. Please ask Your Highness to ask for another wise man!"
When I heard Zhu Zhu's words, I was really angry. I had already invited him to express my respect and nobleness in this way, but he still said this. It seemed that if I didn't agree to his "father-killing", I was afraid that he would not be willing to serve me no matter what. Thinking of this, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in my heart and thought: "Even if such a person cannot be used by me, I cannot let him go, otherwise there will be a great disaster in the future."
Just when I was thinking about whether to kill him or not, Zhu Zhu, who had been watching me, suddenly said in harmony: "Your Highness just do whatever you think. Those who accomplish great things do not care about the details. Don't let your mother-in-law ruin your big things."
I was shocked again when I heard this and looked at Zhu Zhu. At this moment, I clearly saw the trace of pointing in his eyes. It seemed that he could guess what I was thinking at this moment... and he did not have a trace of fear.
