Chapter 3 Prince Yiwen (2)
When he returned to the mansion, Zhu Zhi stayed in the room depressedly and asked someone to invite Yang Rong over. The situation in front of him became more and more complicated. Although he had historical knowledge, these things in front of him did not appear in history at all. How could he deal with it? It seemed that it was time to pull Yang Rong into his trench, and it was time to try his best.
Unexpectedly, his cheap wife Guo Xiu saw Zhu Zhi so depressed, she came to him first to persuade him: "You are depressed as soon as you enter the house. What's the matter?"
Zhu Zhi had a sudden inspiration. It would be better to tell the princess in front of him that she claimed to be her own, to see if she knew these complicated royal relationships. He told her everything about meeting Zhu Di today.
After hearing this, Guo Xiu smiled and said, "It turns out that my husband is worried about this. Can you know the relationship between the prince and the King of Yan?"
Zhu Zhi said: "Of course I know, the situation in the court is very subtle now."
Guo Xiu said: "In fact, it is precisely in this subtle situation that your husband can be fully protected."
Zhu Zhi said, "Oh, how do you say this?"
Guo Xiu said: "My husband was named King of Liao, and the prince contributed a lot from it. I believe that his highness's good intentions must have been explained to the husband. But even if the prince works hard, nothing can be done without the support of the emperor. This means that the emperor will at least take care of the prince from behind, and will naturally be good at treating the husband. Therefore, no matter what in the future, as long as the husband recognizes the emperor and understands his wishes, he will naturally be able to ensure that he is fully prepared."
Zhu Zhi looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. Is this still the kind of woman in ancient China who was imaginary in ancient China who could not go out of the door? He was very clear about the problem. But because of a moment of depression, he fell to her and didn't expect to come out with half a staff officer. Then he thought that after all, she was a meritorious person in the court, she came from an official family since she was a child, so she naturally had some knowledge of politics. Or was the idea that the marquis behind her had come up with? Try her again.
Zhu Zhi said: "Did Lord Taishan teach you these words?"
Guo Xiu shook his head and said, "Although his father is also very concerned about his husband's situation, he is always worried that being too close to you will make people unhappy, so he rarely mentions these things to me. I am always around me and I also feel the pain in my husband's heart. Isn't the one who can count on for a woman's family? These are all things I say randomly. If you say something wrong, don't mind it."
Looking at his considerate and intelligent cheap wife, Zhu Zhi felt a sense of sweetness in his heart. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the face: "My good wife..." Guo Xiu's face suddenly turned red and softened in Zhu Zhi's arms. Zhu Zhi thought to himself that this is the person he can trust the most. Zhu Di's wife is Xu Da's daughter, who is the one who has helped Zhu Di a lot. He may gradually train Guo Xiu in the future, and maybe he can become his helper.
The two were tangling, and someone knocked on the door outside, and Yang Rong came. The two hurriedly separated and Guo Xiu went to open the door. When Yang Rong saw that it was the princess, he quickly wanted to kneel down and bow.
Zhu Zhi stood up quickly and said, "Mianren, come in quickly. Xiuer, you go out first, don't let someone come in."
Yang Rong sat down and told him what happened today. Of course, Zhu Zhi still felt it was inconvenient to tell him about the private conversation between the two parties.
Yang Rong thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, forgive me for the death penalty."
Zhu Zhi hurriedly said, "Mianren, there are only you and me here, but it's okay."
Then, Yang Rong asked a question that surprised Zhu Zhi. He said, "Does Your Highness want to be the emperor?"
Zhu Zhi was speechless. This was a heart-wrenching question. He hesitated for a moment and immediately replied: "How dare Zhi have such inappropriate thoughts?"
Yang Rong did not allow Zhu Zhi to breathe at all, and said, "Will your Highness be the Prince of Xiaoyao or be the King of Power?"
Zhu Zhi was speechless. To be honest, as a modern person, he still hopes to make a career based on hundreds of years of knowledge reserves, but how should he say this to Yang Rong?
Yang Rong smiled slightly: "Your Highness doesn't need to answer, Rong already knows."
This time, Zhu Zhi was a little embarrassed. He regarded him as his confidant, but did not dare to say it directly. So he told the prince about his dying entrusting.
After hearing this, Yang Rong smiled and said, "Thank you Your Highness to trust, Rong Quan understands."
Zhu Zhi said: "I am grateful to Ren for your advice."
Yang Rong said: "Your Highness thinks the prince trusts you completely?"
Zhu Zhi was choked again. He seemed to have never thought that he could hand over the intelligence network to himself and entrust him to monitor the King of Yan when he was dying. No matter how he looked at it, he trusted himself very much.
Yang Rong said: "Rong thought that the prince might not really trust His Highness so much. He helped His Highness to be appointed as the King of Liao. On the surface, the crown prince was for someone to clamp down on the King of Yan, but His Highness was also sealed to a remote place in Liaodong, further away from the capital. This is the prince's plan to kill two birds with one stone. If His Highness is really loyal to the crown prince, if there is any change in the future, the King of Yan will be attacked by the court and His Highness. If His Highness has two hearts, it is a little threat to be so far away from the court. Moreover, His Highness and the King of Yan will consume each other first, and the court will naturally reap the benefits of the fisherman!" After saying that, Yang Rong looked at Zhu Zhi with his eyes.
Zhu Zhi deliberately showed that he still couldn't accept it and said stubbornly: "The prince has been acquainted with me since he was a child, so why did he not trust me?"
Yang Rong knew that the King of Liao was still having fantasies and continued to analyze: "Your Highness, if the prince completely trusts Your Highness, why do you leave a list for Your Highness to choose? It is said that it is an auxiliary as a surveillance. Your Highness is of great righteousness by nature, so he didn't think of this level."
After listening to Yang Rong's analysis, Zhu Zhi felt enlightened. He naively thought that the prince who had been with Zhu Zhi since childhood treated him sincerely, and entrust him to Liaodong to deal with the ambitious King of Yan. Who knew that after Yang Rong said this, Zhu Zhi tasted some flavor.
Yang Rong said again: "The prince is right. Now the emperor has few famous generals around him, so the emperor can only rely on a few princes. Among His Highness's brothers, King Yan, King Ning and His Highness are the three most important places in Guangning in Liaodong, Prince Ning and King Ning, who are in charge of military affairs. Then, his Highness, look at Guangning in Liaodong, Prince Beiping and Prince Ning, which are arranged from east to west, which are the three most important places in the northern border of our Ming Dynasty. The prince created such a strategic situation, which was to allow the three most warlike princes to restrict and consume each other. Moreover, this arrangement also took advantage of the emperor's idea of relying on the princes to guard the border, and it was also a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. It not only restricted the three princes, but was not suspected by the emperor at all. The prince's strategy has to be said to be so wonderful."
Before, Zhu Zhi's understanding of Yang Rong's talent was only reflected in the comments of several Liaodong memorials. At this time, Zhu Zhi completely convinced Yang Rong. Unexpectedly, he could analyze the power of all parties so appropriately, if he was not in the court. If Zhu Zhi could only use the knowledge in history books to analyze his situation before, now Yang Rong's appearance has truly given him a head that is in line with this era.
Yang Rong looked like a taciturn person who was not talkative and taciturn, but seemed to be confident in everything. Looking at him, Zhu Zhi became more and more confident. He couldn't help but hold Yang Rong's hand and said, "Zhi is as enchanting as Emperor Gaozu has a sabbath, and Liu Xuande has a Zhuge Kongming!"
Yang Rong was a little flattered and quickly wanted to kneel down. Zhu Zhi said again: "I'll give up. When you and I are together in the future, this kind of etiquette will be eliminated."
The two sat down again, and Zhu Zhi said, "Mianren has a good analysis, so how should Zhi do the next step?"
Yang Rong said: "The King of Yan entered the capital this time and said that he was the prince who was visiting the doctor. Yirong's opinion was actually for the crown prince. It seems that the King of Yan must have received accurate information and knew that the prince's life was in a short time. Once the prince traveled west, the crown prince that could consolidate the foundation of the country would be very sensitive. If the crown prince was appointed, the future Lord Shao Shuzhuang would become a major problem in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor may change the system of the chief and easily sacrificial prince. Then, the only one among the kings who is most capable of inheriting the treasure is the King of Yan. Once the King of Yan is ready to sacrificially, His Highness's situation can be said to be harmful without any benefit."
Zhu Zhi said: "By the opinion of encouraging benevolence, what about the holy heart?"
Yang Rong said: "Rong has heard that the prince has been ill for more than a year or two. The emperor's grandson waits for the prince to be sick and does not leave for a while. This is all due to Huang Zicheng's plan, and the emperor's grandson Chunxiao can comfort the holy heart."
Zhu Zhi nodded then. It turned out that this was the case in the court. Huang Zicheng and Zhu Zhi knew too much. A pure Confucian idealist can only say that he is too pedantic and cannot say that he is unfaithful.
Yang Rong said again: "So now is in a very delicate period. The King of Yan is grim, the prince is generous, and the emperor likes the King of Yan. This is no secret in the court. If we talk about martial arts, no one among the sons can be the right person of the King of Yan. But the prince is not without advantages. The prince is always famous, and the prince follows his father's personality, and is pure and filial and sincere, which is also quite popular with the emperor. At this time, the King of Yan entered the capital, called visiting, but in fact he came to fight for the throne."
Zhu Zhi said: "Did your father instruct the fourth brother to enter Beijing? Then don't you pass the throne to him?"
Yang Rong said: "But your Highness don't have to worry. Since the prince's arrangement is so exquisite, he must have already made a scheming of this step. At that time, your Highness can just wait and see if it changes, and push it a little at the critical moment. But you must not only hold a grudge for the King of Yan, but also easily suffer from suspicion from the emperor."
Zhu Zhi was still worried and said, "What if the father has decided?"
Yang Rong said: "Although the holy heart is important, there is a problem I think someone will remind the emperor. If you want to establish the King of Yan, where will the King of Jin and King of Qin be placed? The emperor will not ignore this issue. Moreover, the prince is kind and has a great influence on the public opinion of the court."
After a few words, Zhu Zhi woke up from his dream. A good strategist was able to find the true intention behind the information through simple intelligence and relationships. The question is, how could Yang Rong come up with these analysis without a specific source of intelligence? It seems that he had to let Yang Rong look at the information. By the way, it would be better to let him see the information for himself.
Zhu Zhi said: "To be honest, the prince will hand over an intelligence network to Zhi to commander Zhi. Please read all the information in the future." As he said that, he put a stack of intelligence on the table in front of Yang Rong.
Yang Rong did not hurry to answer the call, but instead asked plainly: "Why does Your Highness trust Rong so much?"
When talking about trust, Zhu Zhi is not complete, at least before the countermeasures just now. Zhu Zhi scratched his head and looked innocent, saying, "Although Zhi has no knowledge, at least he knows the reason why he doesn't use doubts. If you can't trust Mian Ren, then will my son-in-law become hypocritical? Zhi is a rough man and needs Mian Ren's assistance."
Zhu Zhi, who felt isolated in this world, actually had no choice. Besides, he told Yang Rong all the secrets today and had tied him to his own chariot. Apart from working hard to help him succeed, Yang Rong himself had no choice. Two people who had no choice.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Zhu Zhi was annoyed and said angrily: "Didn't you tell me that no one is allowed to disturb me?"
