Chapter 725: Asahi
Lai Jun had a smile on his face, and he smiled with the femininity of a poisonous snake.
As His Highness Zhao's confidant, he certainly knew what the relationship between Hao Fenglou and Zhao King was.
In fact, how can the relationship between Lai Jun and King Zhao be compared with the relationship between Hao Fenglou and King Zhao? But Lai Jun knew that he had an advantage that was much stronger than Hao Fenglou. It was precisely because of this that in the mind of His Highness, he was the first-class confidant.
This advantage is ridiculous, just because Lai Jun is weaker than Hao Fenglou.
A very simple truth is that Hao Fenglou stands alone and forms a sect in the court. Although he supports His Highness Zhao, his strength is even higher than His Highness Zhao. His Highness Zhao has to rely on him, but he is also deeply wary of this uncontrollable force. It can be said that success and failure is Xiao He. He can praise you today, but he may be able to step on you tomorrow.
His Highness King Zhao is no longer the original His Highness King Zhao. When people change, their minds will also change. Compared with Hao Fenglou, Lai Jun's only advantage is that he is sufficient to control. In other words, Lai Jun is a controllable person. In terms of Yao Guangxiao, it is still unknown who is a chess player between King Zhao and Hao Fenglou. However, for King Zhao, Lai Jun is a real chess piece. This chess piece is firmly in the hands of King Zhao and can be used with comfort.
And this is Lai Jun’s real advantage.
Therefore, after hearing Zhu Gaosui's words, Lai Jun smiled and said, "Your Highness is very much. The most important thing at the moment is the prince's place. Your Highness is relieved. He is willing to go through fire and water for your Highness, and he will never refuse."
Zhu Gaosui nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Lai Jun. He said, "Are you satisfied with the women I gave you the day before yesterday?"
Lai Jun said gratefully: "Your Highness loves you, and it is hard to repay the humble one's bones." After that, he said with a gaze: "These women are really beautiful people in the world... cough cough..."
Zhu Gaosui smiled satisfied and said, "That's good. I am sympathetic to you. You don't have to be on duty tonight. Go home and keep your spirits full and enjoy yourself. Only when you are full of energy tomorrow can you serve me."
Lai Jun thanked him so much that he said goodbye.
After receiving the "care" of Zhu Gaosui, Lai Jun was not polite. He left the camp and returned to his mansion.
He was not from a wealthy family before, and he made a fortune recently. Therefore, the mansion was actually just a yard with three in and three out. Compared with ordinary families, he was considered generous, but compared with his colleagues, he seemed shabby.
When the old man in the doorman saw the master coming back, he hurriedly came out to greet him. Lai Jun looked tired and entered the mansion with the faint light of the lantern, and did not forget to instruct: "Wake me up at the second hour of tomorrow. Yes, where are those women arranged now?"
The concierge said: "Everyone is in the east wing. Master, aren't it..."
Lai Jun shook his hand and said tiredly: "No, just place it in the house like this. Don't spread these things."
The concierge nodded.
In fact, Lai Jun is not beautiful, or he is not an impatient person, and the reason why he shows an impatient person is just because he needs to have a weakness, some people are greedy for money, and some are lustful, because only such a person, only if he has such a habit, he feels easy to master for his boss. If a person is perfect, he is desireless. If he has no desire, he is just right, but he also gives people an inhumane image. Therefore, any smart person will show some small shortcomings in front of his Shangguan. These shortcomings are harmless, but they just send this little secret to the top. When the top sees it, they often laugh it off. But at the same time, you think that you have more human feelings, because you have controlled these little secrets, and instead feel that you are easy to buy and master.
Lai Jun is not fond of money or lust. The latter is an illusion he created, but he is so worried and hard, it is simply because he has greater ambitions and wants power.
A warrior cannot curry favor with the prince, so his only hope naturally rests on His Highness Zhao.
After a night, there was nothing to say.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The next day, everyone's life returned to normal. Lai Jun went to the duty with satisfaction, while Hao Fenglou returned to the palace to report his life. When he saw the emperor, Hao Fenglou did not expect that things had actually changed. He still thought that Lai Jun was probably the emperor's arrangement. If this were the case, then the test last night would have been passed to the emperor's ears.
So Hao Fenglou was also testing. Hao Fenglou bowed and immediately said the patrol of the camp, full of praise.
Zhu Di nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Gao Sui is finally willing to share my worries. He is really doing serious business. This is great..."
Hao Fenglou looked at Zhu Di and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, the Shenji Camp can look like today, in addition to His Highness Zhao's efforts, it has nothing to do with the commander Lai Jun. This person is a talented person and proficient in musket tactics. Isn't Your Majesty going to let the Beijing Camp adopt such a method of practice on a large scale? Why not..."
When Hao Fenglou mentioned Lai Jun, he quietly looked at Zhu Di's expression changes, trying to find a trace of clues.
At the same time, he set a trap.
If this person is promoted, then the Shenji Camp may have to be replaced by someone else. If this person is really the arrangement of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely refuse, because the reason is very simple. His Majesty arranged this person in the Shenji Camp, which must be to let him approach King Zhao and monitor King Zhao. At the same time, this person controls the Shenji Camp, and His Majesty will also be more at ease. Once he is promoted, it will completely disrupt the emperor's deployment.
Therefore, as long as Your Majesty refuses, Hao Fenglou's guess will be 80% sure.
If Your Majesty agrees, Lai Jun will have nothing to do with Your Majesty, but this person is a bit unfathomable. Even Hao Fenglou did not see through him. A person who could not see through him made him feel worried. He put this person aside and transferred him to another place, and Hao Fenglou would also feel relieved.
In short, no matter what choice Your Majesty chooses, it is not bad for Hao Fenglou. The former can help Hao Fenglou find out Lai Jun's background, while the latter can make Hao Fenglou quiet.
Zhu Di's face did not fluctuate at all, and there was no trace of unusualness. He pondered for a moment and said, "Oh? There are not many people you value. You are a real expert in the method of practicing muskets. Since you say that this person is a talented person, I believe this person is really not simple. Well, you can consider this matter. I will announce that he will enter the palace tomorrow. I will see him before making a decision."
Hao Fenglou suddenly understood that Lai Jun was not arranged by His Majesty. So why did this person say that to him last night? Hao Fenglou was a little confused. He acted casually and wanted to use this to get closer to him. No, he was so cautious at the banquet and pretended to be drunk, but in fact he was extremely sober. Therefore, this person is not a rough person and he can never speak without restraint. He should be very cautious. Will such a person rashly say such words to himself, the commander of the Jinyiwei?
It's the prince...
Hao Fenglou seemed to have some eyebrows, but he smiled bitterly.
It's still wrong, because if this person is the spy installed by the prince, then what is this person trying to do? The prince's self-restraint will not have a warrior standing up for a place, because there are too many scholars around him, and these scholars are the foundation of the prince. Even if Lai Jun wants to serve, he will be rewarded in the future. If he stands in his position, it would be better to follow King Zhao.
Hao Fenglou was a little confused for a while. After years of habit, he always tried to use human motivation to infer problems, but this time, he felt that it was a little unworkable.
However, when Zhu Di saw Hao Fenglou being in a trance, he couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "Hao Fenglou, what are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
Hao Fenglou came to his senses, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I wonder what instructions your Majesty has?"
Zhu Di said lightly: "What else can I give? In a few days, it will be my birthday. In the past, I will always keep my birthday simple. This time, the same is true. After the officials congratulated him that day, they invited a few sons to have a meal in the rear court. Oh, come too, there are many lively things, but it's a pity that Gao Xu can't come. Well, he is a criminal minister after all. What are you doing? Will it cause trouble for me?"
Hao Fenglou suddenly remembered this matter and quickly responded.
The emperor's birthday is a big deal and a small deal. On the one hand, it is the emperor's birthday, which is of course different from ordinary families. But on the other hand, when Emperor Taizu held his birthday, he always was low-key and simple. It is said that he only added some meals to the palace, and even the officials' congratulations were not accepted. With such a strange thing, in order to show that he did not forget his roots, the descendants naturally formed an unwritten rule. Even when Jianwen was there, the birthday was the same. In Yongle, they lived like this a few years ago. Even Jianwen was so low-key. As his uncle and claiming to be the good son of Emperor Taizu, Zhu Di could be extravagant and wasted? It was really unreasonable to be miserable than Jianwen.
Many times, the so-called fine traditions or glorious traditions often come about. If someone sets an example, people from later generations are always willing to restrain themselves. If the predecessors are extravagant, the descendants will be out of control.
