Crown Prince's Counterattack

Zhu Di's face was sullen, his eyes fell on the king's seal on the desk, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Dao Yan was wearing a plain robe monk's clothes, and the Buddhist beads in his hands were constantly turning. He closed his eyes and was not in a hurry to speak. He just sat quietly on the side. .

Daoyan's original name was Yao Guangxiao. After he became a monk, he not only studied Buddhism, but also worshiped a famous local Taoist priest as his teacher. He learned the science of yin and yang, numbers, and art of war. He is erudite but not pedantic, and he is not tired of the world when he is born. He has become an eminent monk who understands Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.When the first queen passed away, Zhu Di met Dao Yan in the capital, and the two hit it off right away, and this fate was born.

"After the morning court today, the father summoned the king and asked about the establishment of the grandson... I didn't expect that the king had been planning for a long time, but I didn't expect to make a wedding dress for a yellow-mouthed child."

Zhu Di paused for a moment before trying to calm down.

"Why should your lord be angry? Since your majesty has discussed with you the establishment of a grandson, doesn't it prove that your majesty values ​​and trusts you? What's more, your majesty decided to establish a grandson. Your majesty must have been mentally prepared long ago. "

Zhu Di's face softened a little.

"The master is right. This king lost his temper. It's just that the father is too partial to the prince, which makes this king feel dissatisfied."

Zhu Di seemed to respect Dao Yan very much. You must know that since the two of them worked together, Zhu Di knew that this man was resourceful and indeed helped him a lot, but it also made Zhu Di feel a little more cautious and cautious.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in a hurry to appoint a grandson. I'm afraid that the rumors in the palace are not groundless. His Royal Highness may not be as good as before. That's why His Majesty wants to appoint a grandson as early as possible, so as to secure the court."

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and there was a little joy in his eyes.

"However, a mere lion cub is no match for a full-grown tiger. My lord, your chance has come."

The two looked at each other, showing a tacit understanding. Once His Majesty goes west, the crown prince's body will definitely not be able to hold on. The grandson will be the real ascendant. At that time, it's hard to say whether this grandson can rule the princes of all places. , once the current situation is chaotic, it is their chance.

"Recently, I heard that the crown prince highly valued the second son of the former crown princess? This seems to be a bit mysterious. You must know that the eldest son is the eldest son under the name of the current crown princess, and he is deeply loved by His Majesty. I don't know what will happen to this. What unexpected changes?"

Dao Yan stopped fiddling with the fingers of the Buddha beads, his eyes were a bit deep, and Zhu Di instantly understood his intentions.

"What the master said is very true. If the first concubine had not died young, I am afraid that the third highness today is the serious grandson of the emperor. You said that if you make him think that the first concubine did not die of dystocia, but that this dove took the magpie Chao, if you think about it, something very interesting will happen there, and if you think about it, he will definitely thank me, my fourth uncle."

Zhu Di knew what he should do next, and wanted to take advantage of troubled waters, so the situation should be as chaotic as possible.

"Uncle Four?"

Zhu Yunxi was quite surprised. How could this Fourth Uncle Yan Wang, who is usually busy with things, be here? It seemed that he came here specially to find him.

This place is usually a small road leading to his bedroom and very quiet, Zhu Yunxi ordered the serving father-in-law to stand away from him, his fourth uncle seemed to have something to say to him.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Yunxi, your way of dealing with things has matured a lot. The fourth uncle is also relieved to see you. It seems that the prince has really spared no effort to teach you recently."

Zhu Yunxi showed a happy smile on his face, with a bit of shyness of a teenager.

"However——I don't think there are many days like this, Yunxi, you should cherish it."

Zhu Di took a look at Zhu Yunxi, and his tone was very regretful.

"What does Uncle Si Wang mean by that—"

Zhu Yunxi's complexion changed, with thin anger on his face, and his expression was not very good-looking, and his tone towards the elder was a bit aggressive.

Zhu Di was not angry but happy, he was not afraid that the child would be angry, but he was afraid that he would not respond, so that the effect in his words could be achieved.

"..."

Zhu Di's expression was obviously hesitant, with a bit of helplessness hesitant to speak, and a bit of strange pity in the eyes looking at Zhu Yunxi.

"Fourth uncle, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and looked at Zhu Di stubbornly, as if he would never let him leave if he didn't say anything.

"It shouldn't have been said, but there are some things you should know in advance. Yesterday, my father told me that he wanted to set up the position of emperor grandson to stabilize the country. As for this candidate, I don't think I need to say more."

"Then it must be the second brother. The second brother has a noble status and is favored by his father and grandfather. It is not surprising that he was chosen as the emperor's grandson. I should congratulate him."

Zhu Yunxi suffocated slightly, then looked at Zhu Di calmly, with a slight smile on his face, as if he was not moved by the news.

But the hands clenched under the sleeves had already fallen into Zhu Di's eyes, and he felt a little more determined, so how could he not care, he didn't believe that this little nephew didn't have the slightest thought in his heart, and now it seems that he really is. The little fox is much more difficult to deal with than the other big white rabbit. If he had to choose between the two, Zhu Di really hoped that Zhu Yunqi would take that position instead of the one in front of him.

"When it comes to status, how have you ever lost to him? It's just that once Yun Yun becomes the grandson, the prince will not be as close as he is now in order to avoid suspicion. Then your status in the East Palace will be embarrassing."

Zhu Diyu said earnestly, he seemed really a worried elder.

"Did Uncle Wang come here specially to tell me about this?"

Zhu Yunxi's tone was blunt and his face was awkward. He never understood, but he understood it, but it made people feel uncomfortable if they were pierced.

He turned around and gave Zhu Di a sideways look, obviously he was a little unhappy now.

"It seems that you are blaming me?"

There was also a bit of coldness in Zhu Di's tone, the people in the old Zhu's family are not good-natured people.

"Sorry, Uncle Fourth, I just..."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and found that his attitude seemed a little too much. After all, Zhu Di was an elder. He turned around and lowered his head, his thin black hair brushed against his cheeks. His thin figure seemed quite lonely, and his tone was also very low. , After all, it was a big blow to him.

"How could Uncle Si Wang be angry with you, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for you in the future..."

Zhu Di is not the kind of person who is unreasonable and unforgiving, and he will go down the stairs when he has a step, not to mention that this is not the purpose he came here today.

"I came here on purpose today. I have more important things to tell you besides this, but I don't know if I should tell you..."

Zhu Di's hesitant attitude aroused Zhu Yunxi's curiosity even more.

"I originally wanted to hide it from you, but I always felt that I should let you know the truth about your mother and concubine's dystocia."

"the truth?!"

Since these two words are used, there must be something hidden in them, Zhu Yunxi could hardly hold back the anxiety in his heart.

"Uncle Si Wang, tell me quickly, what's the truth here?!"

Zhu Yunxie's expression was very excited, but this is not difficult to understand. You must know that he has been blaming himself for the death of his mother and concubine all these years, but now someone tells him that all this is not his fault, but this There is a conspiracy behind it.

"According to my people's investigation, there is indeed something hidden about what happened back then. I'm afraid the dystocia of the former Crown Princess has something to do with the current Crown Princess."

Zhu Di leaned in front of Zhu Yunxi and whispered.

"Is it really that woman?"

A ruthless look flashed in Zhu Yunxi's eyes, and a ferocious look appeared on his face, and the youthful feeling was instantly blurred.

He didn't like that woman since he was a child, did she really harm his mother and concubine?Zhu Yunxi felt his own weakness for the first time, and now he has no ability to avenge his mother and concubine.

Zhu Di was very satisfied, and it would be more interesting to hate the latter thing more.

"So, if your mother and concubine hadn't passed away early, it would be a pity that the position of grandson would have been yours..."

Zhu Di shook his head with a regretful expression.

"No, it's not a pity, this should be mine, so I should take it back, right, Uncle Fourth, you will help me, this is your real purpose today, right?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunxi in surprise, only to find that his mental state was completely different. There was a faint cold light in his clear eyes, and he looked at himself expressionlessly. Sure enough, he grew up very fast, but the young man is too sharp to show off. It's a good thing, you must know that there are always many accidents in this palace, Zhu Di thought lightly, there was something else in the eyes that looked at Zhu Yunxi.

"Sure enough, a smart kid..."

Zhu Di was not at all embarrassed by being exposed, with an emotional smile on his face and unexpected admiration in his eyes.It's a pity that he is a child of the prince's family. Zhu Di likes Zhu Yunxi more than Zhu Yunqi, who is too soft-spoken, and it suits his eyes.

"Of course the king will help you"

Zhu Di smiled, isn't that why he came here?

"Then what does the fourth uncle want?"

Zhu Yunxi doesn't believe that there will be a good thing in the sky, just looking at Zhu Di's intentions all the way down, you know that he must have come prepared, even if he opens his mouth like a lion, Zhu Yunxi will not be surprised, but see if he can pay worthy of this price.

"Can the king do whatever he wants?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunxi with interest, but Zhu Yunxi's expression did not change at all.

"If Uncle Si Wang asks for prices all over the sky, then the nephew can only sit back and bargain. Yunxi believes that Uncle Si Wang will have a good answer."

"Since this is the case, then I will tell you that what I want is..."
