Chapter 425 Letter from Father Zhong!
The Qin Palace has been very low-key recently. The Qin Palace has been living in seclusion for the past six months and defending everywhere, and seems to have no desire to compete for the crown prince.
Many people think that the low-keyness of the Qin Palace is because the Qin King and Dai Gao are in a feud. In addition, Zhong Fuming, the adviser of the Qin Palace, escaped, which greatly damaged the strength of the Qin Palace. The Qin Palace was hit by this, which hurt the vitality and had to endure it.
In fact, the situation is almost the same, but those who know the King of Qin know that the King of Qin will not easily admit defeat, but now he has changed his strategy of struggle.
Recently, the atmosphere in the capital has been a bit strange. It seems that it has not been as calm as in the past six months. It is so calm that there has not been a slight turmoil, until a memorial from the northwest appears.
This memorial did not record many great things. It was just that the prefect of Liangzhou reported to the court that Lu Zheng had established a county school in Liangzhou and promoted Taoism and Confucianism. Lu Zheng made the county school a prefecture school, and all the scholars in Liangzhou were included in the county school run by Lu Zheng.
Such a message generally does not cause much trouble. At most, the Ministry of Personnel Examination will record the merits and wait until there is a suitable opportunity to commend Lu Zheng or even promote it.
However, Lu Zheng's situation is different. Lu Zheng was forcibly sent to the northwest by Dai Gao under the gaze of the entire capital. According to general logic, since Dai Gao sent Lu Zheng to the northwest, he could have at least a hundred ways to deal with him. Lu Zheng was completely finished.
Now, Lu Zheng has been in the northwest for more than half a year and has done something big. His popularity has made the prefect of Liangzhou unable to help but write a memorial to the court. Isn’t such a memorial slap Dai Gao in the face?
Anyone with a little political sense knows that Dakang, which had been silent for half a year, is about to stir up trouble again. Who is the King of Qin? Can he not notice this?
In the study, the King of Qin had just copied the "Jackfruit Heart Sutra" and his adviser Sun Chengzhong came. He quietly approached the King of Qin's ear and lowered his voice:
"This time, the Jiangnan power silence may be over. Dai Gao was in a state of fire. Censors have already rushed to Jiangnan in three groups. In recent years, the Jiangnan people have not been united. As long as Dai Gao wants to move, I am afraid that someone will want to abandon the car and protect the handsome guy!"
The King of Qin frowned and turned his head to look at Sun Chengzhong and said, "Dao Dao, hehe, it seems that this little Luzi caused a big trouble this time. He didn't know how to keep a low profile after going to the northwest. He really thought that his little body could fight Dai Gao head-on. Young and crazy, it seems that I took him too high before..."
Sun Chengzhong said: "For us, it depends on whether the prince will take action. The Gu family of the Jiangnan power clan has a very close relationship with the prince. The prince operates in Jiangnan and regards the hometown of fish and rice as his own money tree. Dai Gao is the foundation of the prince..."
"Mr. Sun, what you said is useless analysis. In the current situation, who can challenge Dai Gao? The prince sounds so majestic, but in fact he has no right to do anything. Dai Gao can't stand it.
In such a situation, how could the prince be so stupid that he broke up with Dai Gao for some of the useless kids in Jiangnan?”
Sun Chengzhong said with an awkward expression: "What the prince said is that we are incompetent and failed to think of a proper opportunity for breakthrough for the prince!"
The King of Qin waved his hand and said boredly: "There is nothing that can be made or broken through now. In short, it is to hide your strength and hide your light and temporarily dormant. As long as you are quiet, can't I be a rich prince?"
The King of Qin spoke like this and his expression was very bleak. The loneliness made Sun Chengzhong feel extremely uncomfortable. He is the number one strategist in the royal palace, but he could not find a solution to the current situation of the King of Qin. He thought about it every day like a headless fly with a group of strategists, wasting time in vain.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward. At this moment, the old butler hurried in from outside. He leaned into the King of Qin's ear and whispered a few words.
"Ah..." The King of Qin suddenly exclaimed, his face changed drastically, and he said loudly: "Where is it, hurry, show it to me!"
The housekeeper quickly delivered a letter to the King of Qin. The King of Qin opened the letter and took a look, and immediately said, "Yes, this is the handwriting of Mr. Zhongfu. Mr. still remembers me, and Mr. still thinks about me!"
The King of Qin suddenly became excited, and his whole body swept away the decadence just now, as if he had come alive all of a sudden. Sun Chengzhong, who was beside him, quickly reacted, thinking that the letter was actually written by Zhongfuming?
After the King of Qin was excited, he immediately read the content of the letter. Gradually, the expression on his face became more and more excited, and he said, "Okay! Very good! Mr. Zhong is still planning for me. The gentleman said that others are still in my great care, but it is not advisable to show up for the time being. Hehe, people in the world are jealous of virtuous people. It is a great regret that a great talent cannot tolerate others!"
After the King of Qin finished speaking, he put the letter paper away and placed it on a candle and burned the letter. Sun Chengzhong was still thinking about seeing the content of Zhongfuming's letter. The King of Qin had no intention at all!
The King of Qin chatted for a few words and asked Sun Chengzhong to retreat, called the butler of the royal family over, and carefully asked about the origin and identity of the person who sent the letter, but it was unavailable. The other party came suddenly and hid his identity. After sending the letter, he quickly left without leaving his name.
The housekeeper of the royal family is now named Zhan Han, and he is the confidant of the King of Qin for many years. After Zhongfu Ming left, the King of Qin decided to lie dormant and handed over the affairs of the royal family to him. He was a person who could fully trust.
"Old Zhan, Mr. Zhongfu said he could help me break up the major powers in Longyou. If this matter can be accomplished, it would be like a big turnaround for me. What do you think?"
Zhan Han frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Zhongfu is really good at staying in Dakang. If he is in Longyou, would he go to Lu Zheng? As far as I can tell, he has a lot of malice towards Lu Zheng."
The King of Qin shook his head and said, "All of them are talented men, it is normal for literati to be inferior to each other. Mr. Zhongfu is a person who has aspirations and is definitely not comparable to those with narrow minds.
He must have a deep meaning. With his wisdom, it is reasonable to say that Longyou will be dismantled. At present, Longyou's tail is too big. His father has long been dissatisfied with this. It was only when the people in Longyou flattered Dai Gao and Dai Gao made a hindrance, which allowed these guys in Longyou to survive until today.
If I could use my brain in Longyou, once I succeed, why worry that my father wouldn’t look at me with admiration?”
Zhan Han said: "Your Highness, I think this matter is extremely risky. You cannot take risks rashly just by just one letter. I suggest you think twice before you act, and you must not be reckless!"
