Chapter 482: Jian Shuo
81_81247Jian Shuo left, but before he left the Beisi Prison, he met an old acquaintance, was slightly stunned, and greeted him with a big smile: "Zhao Zhongchang, I didn't expect to meet you here." "Can you not worry when you meet Zhao Zhong Jianshuo, although he is also a powerful eunuch, but to put it bluntly, he is still just a small yellow door, if it is not for the Queen Mother of Jiade Hall (Yongle Palace), it is not more difficult for Zhao Zhong to pinch him to death than to pinch an ant to death, especially once Zhao Zhong knows that he came to see Liu Lan on this trip, the consequences are even more unimaginable.
Jian Shuo, who was bitter in his heart, was thinking about how to get rid of the crisis in front of him, but he didn't want Zhao Zhong to say straight to the point: "I heard that you came to Beisi Prison, so I am waiting for you here, since you came here to see him, it must be to save him, right?" β
"Zhao Zhongchang, don't be joking."
"I'm not telling you, you don't have to worry about anything, this β½wanβ½shuβ½ba,aΒ€nshuβ¦ba.I've heard a lot about things in the palace.The prince association wants to help, but the inside prince association doesn't know, to tell you the truth, this matter is very tricky, the prince association can't come forward, as for why, I can't say, unless you promise to join forces with me."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Why did you save Liu Lan?" Zhao Zhong asked rhetorically.
"Prince Xie."
Zhao Zhong said: "You are gambling on your future, but I want to gamble on my net worth, because I don't know what the consequences will be if I go to the Son of Heaven to intercede, maybe ......"
Zhao Zhong didn't continue, but as a result, Jian Shuo naturally understood that there was only one dead word, but because of this, Jian Shuo was even more curious: "Why, why did you gamble your net worth to save him?" β
"Because of my eldest brother."
"Isn't he already ......" Jian Shuo suddenly thought of something and broke out. said: "Could it be that Liu Lan is the ...... you have been looking for?"
"No, but there is a relationship."
"And what do you need me to do?" Jian Shuo said.
"I don't know if you've heard of the Four Beasts Diagram around the Son of Heaven. The reason for this incident was that the Son of Heaven suspected that the hungry wolf in the north was Liu Lan, because he was in a foreign race. Liu Lan has a nickname for a hungry wolf. β
"What?" Jian Shuo was taken aback, of course he knew about the Four Beasts Diagram, but he never expected that Liu Lan would be the hungry wolf on the diagram, and he was surprised: "No wonder Wang Zixie can't come forward, there is such a hidden secret here!" β
"But there is one thing that the Son of Heaven is concerned about now, evil or good. If it is a bad message, the Son of Heaven will naturally not keep him, but once it is a good message, then these four beasts are not the four evils of the chaotic man but the divine beast of the Han Protector. Therefore, if you want to save Liu Lan, you need to make the Son of Heaven believe that this proverb is a good prophecy. Zhao Zhong spoke very slowly, listening to the tone, Jian Shuo could be sure that this was the only way to save Liu Lan, and asked, "Then what do you need me to do?" β
Zhao Zhong narrowed his eyes, and his tone was a little lower: "You only need to let the Son of Heaven hear a dream, whether it is the prince association or the queen mother, in the dream they need to be rescued by a hungry wolf." β
Jian Shuo couldn't cry or laugh: "Zhao Zhongchang really looks down on me, I am a Zhongjuan eunuch, how can I influence the prince and the queen mother." β
Zhao Zhong didn't pay attention to his complaints. just closed his eyes and recuperated until he finished speaking, and then threw out the bait and said: "As long as you can convince Wang Zixie or the Queen Mother, you will get something for what you do." β
Zhao Zhong's face became stern. Jian Shuo naturally understood that he was showing his own attitude and talking to himself in the most honest way, which meant that he would get a rich reward afterwards. His face converged at the same time, and his smile was completely gone. "But I need to know if the reward I get is proportional to the effort, and I need to know if it's worth it." β
"Feng Shui takes turns. Boom! Don't forget He Jin. Zhao Zhong only said one name, which made Jian Shuo unable to sit still anymore, like sitting on pins and needles, his eyes were even more cold, looking at his expression change, Zhao Zhong smiled: "As long as you help me this time, I can guarantee that when I support Shihou Donghou as the crown prince, I will fully support Donghou." "Now the three forces of the imperial court, the relatives are naturally supported by Shi Hou, what about the eunuchs, because the relationship between the queen also supports the eldest son, and the scholar class, let alone agree to the Ling Emperor to abolish the elder and the young, in this way, the Ling Emperor, who was able to use the eunuchs to deal with the scholars and relatives, is a little lonely in changing Dong Hou as the prince, if at this time, the middle and regular attendants suddenly change their tone, the Son of Heaven will have another reason, and the Son of Heaven will be able to crisscross the court as before. And Dong Hou will definitely be able to become the crown prince, once Dong Hou becomes the prince or even the son of heaven, then the general He Jin, he still has to be afraid?
The conditions given by Zhao Zhong are simply the best bait, not only do he believe that Jian Shuo will take the bait, but even Jian Shuo himself can't refuse, in the face of He Jin's strength, if he doesn't fight back, he will die sooner or later, it's just that although Jian Shuo hopes that the middle attendants can come forward to support Dong Hou, but if it's just Zhao Zhong, isn't it too light? In his opinion, since it is an equivalent negotiation condition, it is necessary to come up with the same bargaining chips: "Is the support of only Zhao Zhongchang a little less, or Zhao Zhongchang will go and let Zhang Chang serve them to support Dong Hou together, rest assured, as long as Dong Hou succeeds to the throne in the future, he will never forget a few Zhongchang." β
The corners of Zhao Zhong's mouth were upturned, with coldness, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a weird manner: "Sometimes your appetite is not too big, be careful and eat the consequences in the end, you are not afraid that I and the ten permanent servants will suddenly change their words and cause a backlash from He Jin?" Now we are not trying to help Dong Hou to the position of the crown prince, but to build momentum and loosen the foundation of those who support Shi Hou step by step. In the end, we will draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, only a quiet small fight can achieve results, otherwise it will arouse the vigilance of the relatives, and fight back, that is going to die, this person will not be me, let alone any of the ten permanent servants, as for who it is, I think you understand in your heart, insist, step by step, rather slow, not urgent, you kid wants to really rise to the top in the future, this must be understood. β
"Thank you Zhao Zhongchang for your advice." Jian Shuo said: "But what we are saying now is unfounded, and when the time comes, Zhao Zhongchang will deny it......
"If you don't believe it, forget it!" Zhao Zhong's face suddenly became ugly and cold.
Jian Shuo suddenly laughed: "Don't worry about Zhao Zhongchang, I'll go to persuade the Queen Mother." β
His changes were too fast, but Zhao Zhong was stunned in place, and he was a little confused about the situation for a while, and it took a long time to find Jian Shuo's treacherous smile on his face, shaking his head slightly, and saying, "It's all calculated on my head?" β
"Don't dare."
"When are you going to convince the Queen Mother?"
Jian Shuo smiled: "For such a big thing, you have to find a reason, an excuse, Zhao Zhongchang said it, didn't you?" β
"I can do it anytime."
"Okay, let's go see the Queen Mother now."
Jian Shuo is not stupid, if he wants Zhao Zhong to speak, then he has to let him say these words in front of the people he scruples, and who can deter Zhao Zhong is naturally the Queen Mother! (To be continued......).
