Chapter 240

Zhu Zian sneered, his eyes were red with jealousy, he stared at his concubine mother, and suddenly said in a cold voice.

"Mother and concubine, how can my son be inferior to that Zhu Zitai? I don't believe it anymore. I will always lose to him. I never fought for the crown prince before."

"Obviously your background is similar to that of the empress, why did the emperor choose Zhu Zitai to be the prince? Not me? Wasn't he born earlier than me?"

"I don't care! I must not lose this time. However, the plague is not easy to manipulate. If this is the case, then the fruit of this victory must naturally be eaten by me!"

After listening to her son's words, Concubine Shu realized in her heart, and said in surprise: "You mean... you want to take this credit? But they are about to control the plague, so it might be inappropriate for you to go at this time." ?”

Zhu Zi'an suddenly evoked a calculating sneer, and said sarcastically: "Mother, you still underestimate father, although father has always favored the prince, but father is now an old emperor."

"This tiger will grow old one day. Obviously, the emperor can let Zhu Zitai sit firmly in the position of prince, but why did he promote me?"

"Our three princes' party can develop so fast, not because the father is secretly fueling the flames, but because he wants me to jump out and compete with the prince. In this way, there will be a wound when the two tigers fight, but the father can Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Concubine Shu frowned when she heard the words, and when she figured it out, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "Yes, after all, the smartest person is your father, who originally wanted the two of you to check and balance each other." , that’s why it seems to favor this or that.”

"Now it seems that we and the prince are both played by your father, and you have just been suppressed by the prince recently, and you are at a disadvantage. If your father wants to maintain balance, he will definitely think again. Find a way to get you up, or find a way to suppress the prince."

"However, you suppressed the prince just now, and it is impossible for your father to do it so obviously, but if you say that you are going to the plague land to relieve your father's worries, this is a very reasonable statement. , what are you going to do?"

Zhu Zian laughed immediately, all the gloom on his face subsided, and he looked a little relaxed.

"Naturally, I went directly to the father. I believe that the father will pay attention to such important news in real time. I guess the father will also have a headache for this matter. It is not too late to avoid long nights and dreams. I will go to the father immediately." Emperor."

However, before Zhu Zian went out, a court lady hurried in and brought an eunuch, who turned out to be the old eunuch in front of Emperor Yeyun.

The old eunuch directly took out the imperial decree in his hand: "Concubine Shu accepts the decree!"

Zhu Zian and Concubine Shu looked at each other, and quickly knelt down with a very respectful attitude.

The old eunuch finished the original words of Emperor Yeyun directly, and then handed out the imperial decree, and said with a smile on his face.

"Concubine Shu, please accept the order. Your majesty has said that this time is a small punishment and a big commandment. I will not set an example. I hope that the concubine can discipline His Highness the third prince more."

At this moment, Zhu Zian, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of anger, but he thought of something, and when he raised his head, it turned into guilt.

"Thank you, father, for your teaching! My son must keep it in mind!"

Concubine Shu only felt humiliated, the old thing was really getting more and more troublesome, but she still had to forcefully smile and take over the imperial decree.

Zhu Zian had already stood up at this time, and said to the old eunuch with a smile on his face, "It's just that, I have something to tell my father, father-in-law, why don't I go to the imperial study with you again? My father is sure about this matter." Gotta know."

The old eunuch didn't want to offend people everywhere, so after nodding, he walked out with his fly whisk.

Zhu Zian and Concubine Shu looked at each other, and then followed out.

This time Zhu Zian's plan was very successful, Emperor Yeyun didn't know what he was thinking, but actually agreed to Zhu Zian's proposal.

The next day, all the forces in the capital knew one thing, that is, the third prince, Zhu Zi'an, wanted to take the blame and make meritorious service, and personally went to southern Jinan, the plague land, to cure the plague, and got the imperial decree from the emperor.

What surprised everyone, or rather, the princelings, was that His Majesty agreed!
After the edict was promulgated, His Majesty remained behind closed doors. No matter who came to ask for an audience, Emperor Yeyun refused to see him, and even the morning court stopped.

As for the third prince, Zhu Zi'an, he received the imperial edict in high spirits and headed for southern Hebei with a team of people.

When traveling, it was a sight, and many people praised Zhu Zi'an for going there in person without fear of danger, and he was really a role model among princes.

Ordinary people would dare to say such things. Naturally, someone specially spread the word among the people. As for who... It depends on who is the beneficiary of this matter, who benefits the most, and whoever releases the news is It goes without saying.

The door of the royal study.

"Eunuch, just let me in, I do have something important to see Father."

The prince Zhu Zitai was standing outside the door of the imperial study at this time, very gentle, but said this to the eunuch with a little pleading.

The eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has said, but no one will be seen. Your Majesty is resting. If this wakes you up...the slave will not dare to take it."

A dark light flashed in Zhu Zitai's eyes, but it quickly subsided, leaving only a spring-like smile on his face.

Seemingly aware of the embarrassment of the eunuch, the crown prince sighed and said with a wry smile: "In this case, forget it, but please take good care of the father-in-law. If there is anything, you have to tell this palace."

The eunuch was about to be overwhelmed, and now he was relieved to hear the prince give up, and quickly responded.

"What His Royal Highness said is that the servant must take good care of His Majesty!"

Only then did Zhu Zitai turn around and leave, his footsteps still at ease, and he couldn't see anything.

But when he left the range of the imperial study room, the smile on Zhu Zitai's face could no longer be held back. He immediately looked serious and hurried back to the East Palace. Just after entering the study room, he immediately called the housekeeper over, and immediately looked serious. commanded.

"Send some people to Jinan immediately, and then send some people to follow Zhu Zian. Keep an eye on me along the way, and send news back at any time."

The steward also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said respectfully: "Your servant obeys!"

half a month later.

Zhu Zian intended to speed up, so he hurried on, and it took only half a month to reach Jinan.

However, if you want to go faster, you can do it, but the counselors around Zhu Zian have already calculated it for him, and this speed is just right.
