Controller [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 55 The Bastard Adopted (5)

Zhao Jue glanced at Luo Zong, seeing that his expression was as calm as water when he asked this sentence, it can be seen that he had already made enough psychological preparations in the past half a month, so that those unnecessary foreshadowings could be omitted. Now, Zhao Jue said: "Your Highness, you and your subordinates will go out to meet a few people in the palace and you should know how to make sure."

"Where are you going? Who are you meeting? How are you meeting?" Luo Zong asked a few questions in a row, hesitating in his heart. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone as the prince of a country, he should not put himself in danger. .

Zhao Jue had already prepared for this, and replied: "Of course, I don't dare to ask Your Highness to take risks. Your Highness might as well go to Rong Guogong's mansion first and meet Rong Guogong. If His Highness thinks enough, there is no need to go to other places. .”

"Oh?" Luo Zong was somewhat skeptical.

Zhao Jue didn't explain, just lowered his head slightly, and stroked Gu Yanzhi's back with his fingers once and for all. Seeing this, Luo Zong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will leave the palace alone with you!"

The prince's sudden arrival naturally surprised the Rongguo mansion, but after learning of Luo Zong's intention, he quickly prepared a yard for Luo Zong according to Luo Zong's intention, and in one of the rooms in the yard, Only Zhao Jue, Gu Yanzhi, Luo Zong and two court ladies were there.

Zhao Jue took out the makeup powder he made and put it on the table, and ordered, "Give it to Your Highness."

"This..." The two maids didn't dare to do anything, they just looked at the prince.

Luo Zong looked at Zhao Jue, and before he could speak, he heard Zhao Jue say softly: "Your Highness, you have to do all the acting."

"Do as Tianbao says." Luo Zong ordered.Now that he has made a decision, he is not a person who procrastinates.

The two maids followed the instructions and spread three layers of makeup on Luo Zong's face with darker and darker colors, and then put a beard on his lips, so that the work was done.

It is said that one white covers one hundred ugliness. In the past, Luo Zong brocade clothes and jade food were well maintained, and his skin was naturally fair, and he looked quite colorful, but now his face has become dark and swarthy. Huzi, who looks wretched and wretched, not to mention his brothers, even he doesn't know himself. After being surprised for a while, Luo Zong thought that Zhao Jue had disappeared for more than ten days, so he was not surprised .

After Luo Zong changed his clothes, on the way to see Duke Rong's mansion, Zhao Jue said, "Your Highness, when you bid farewell to Duke Rong, he will definitely let the son and Brother Ye accompany you, Your Highness You might as well pay careful attention to Rong Guogong's movements and expressions."

Luo Zong immediately understood Zhao Jue's intention, it was to show him his uncle's paternal love for his two cousins.

When the two arrived at Shengxuantang, Rong Guogong, Fu Geng, and Fu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to salute Luo Zong. Sure enough, after a short greeting, Rong Guogong asked his two sons to escort him. The Duke insisted and agreed.

Even as an uncle, Rong Guogong couldn't criticize the prince's wanton behavior, so he had to repeatedly tell his two sons to swear to protect the prince's safety.

Fu Geng and Fu Ye agreed that if the prince had a problem in the hands of their Rongguo Mansion, then they could only use the Rongguo Mansion to fill it.

After leaving Shengxuan Hall, after Zhao Jue and Luo Zong avoided the crowd, Zhao Jue asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, how do you feel?"

"It's very strange." Luo Zong was very disappointed when he thought of the way his uncle looked at his two cousins ​​just now, but he didn't understand what he was missing.

Zhao Jue quickly cleared up the prince's doubts, "Your Highness, Duke Rong's relationship is simple, and there are relatively few interests involved, so the relationship is relatively pure. Besides, Duke Rong only has one wife and two sons. They were all born to the same mother, and the eldest son was the favorite of Rong Guogong, so there were many things just now. It’s still Brother Ye, Duke Rong loves them very much, just as you saw just now, Your Highness.”

After listening to Zhao Jue's explanation, Luo Zong lowered his head and did not speak for a while, while Zhao Jue waited quietly.

After a long time, Luo Zong raised his head and said, "I want to see those people you mentioned!"

The expected answer made Zhao Jue smile slightly, and he knew that Luo Zong was not the one to escape.

After the carriage left Rongguo Duke's mansion, it soon came to a dental shop. After Zhao Jue asked a servant to pass on the message, a benign toothmaid came out of the dental shop and got into the car behind.

Luo Zong never thought that there were also things like selling children and selling women near the capital.

Today, the matchmaker bought five people in total. The first one sold her daughter to her son to marry a wife; The one who sold the youngest son to support the older son to study; as for the fourth and fifth ones, the men sold their wives and children to gamble for money.

Luo Zong can see clearly that these people love their children, but there are many things more important than these loves.

After Zhao Jue rewarded the matchmaker, he took Luo Zong to an alley in the west city. Looking at the street from here, there were people coming and going, and it was very lively. He looked at the people passing by on the street.

At the end of the day, Luo Zong gained a lot.

After returning to the palace, he secretly observed Emperor Xining. What Luo Zong had to admit was that the queen mother and concubine were the people who loved him the most in the entire palace. Emperor Xining might like him a little, but Not as much as he imagined, because he is too self-righteous!

Even more self-righteous than him was King Wu, and Emperor Xining liked him less than himself.

As for King Cheng and King Chu, Luo Zong also observed carefully, and he could see that Emperor Xining didn't like them very much either.

After thinking about it for a few days, Luo Zong didn't figure out why, so he called Zhao Jue into the palace after thinking about it for a while. He vaguely told Zhao Jue what he was thinking, but he didn't realize that he was interested in Zhao Jue can already be said to have increased trust.

Luo Zong didn't notice it, but Zhao Jue did. After thinking for a while, Zhao Jue tentatively said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It takes hard work to forge iron. How can Your Highness entrust the possibility of his succession to others?" The illusory love?"

If another person dared to speak like this, Luo Zong would naturally not be merciless, but when Zhao Jue said it, Luo Zong was not angry, but instead asked: "Then what should we do according to Tianbao's intention?" close to the meaning.

After Zhao Jue got the answer he wanted, he said with a slight smile: "This subordinate has two ideas, but before saying these two ideas, this subordinate has another request."

As the crown prince of a country and the future lord of the world, Luo Zong is not afraid of his subordinates' requests, but fears that his subordinates will have no desires. Hearing Zhao Jue's request, the prince smiled instead of anger, and generously promised, "You say, as long as you are alone Do it!"

"Subordinates need a reasonable identity." After being expelled from the clan, there were many things he could not do. Zhao Jue hoped to obtain a reasonable identity so that he could appear in front of the Chen family openly.

It was such a simple matter, Luo Zong immediately said: "This is no problem."

Maybe it's because he will be the ruler of the world in the future, Luo Zong never breaks his word, after listening to his promise, Zhao Jue was relieved a lot, he went to the desk to write, but said: "Your Highness's most urgent task, It is to honor the emperor and love brothers..."

"What Tianbao said is that Gu Shi should respect his father well, and his eldest and second brothers should also respect..." Luo Zong was talking, but his eyes drifted to Zhao Jue's paper.

After the two said a lot of false words, Zhao Jue finally wrote down what he meant.

The first thing is to make Luo Zong appear mediocre. Zhao Jue found that Emperor Xining is a very controlling emperor. An outstanding prince must be a thorn in Emperor Xining's eyes.

What Luo Zong needs to do is not to put pressure on Emperor Xining, but many ministers can't make mistakes, so this degree is up to Luo Zong himself.

The second thing is the military power. Emperor Xining is now in his prime, except for the army guarding the border, the rest of the military power is tightly held in his hands. The commanders of the major garrisons in the capital are all Emperor Xining's confidantes. Of course, Zhao Jue did not want Luo Zong Instead of going to the tiger's mouth to grab food, he suggested that Luo Zong gather his manpower and start from the bottom military officer.

Different from those nobles who are already rich and powerful, if these people are trained well, they will be the prince's capable subordinates in the future. They will not want to see the prince being deposed. People often do it for their own benefit. Some things that are incomprehensible to outsiders, especially when Conglong Zhigong is within reach, and he is about to be promoted to a noble position and be blessed with descendants, no one is willing to give up.

Looking at Zhao Jue's suggestion, although Luo Zong didn't want to believe that Emperor Xining would abolish him emotionally, he didn't want to gamble on Emperor Xining's love for his father, and he didn't want to stand by in times of crisis in the future. Chu Jun, Luo Zong is still very capable. He behaved as usual, but secretly arranged for his confidants to recruit people.

As for Zhao Jue's identity, after the Crown Prince asked Zhao Jue if he would like to change his surname, he quickly arranged for Zhao Jue to have a very high-ranking identity.

This identity has something to do with the Duke of Rongguo. Although the Duke of Rongguo has a prominent status, they are actually offshoots of the Fu family in Anyang. The crown prince arranged for Zhao Jue to be the heir of an uncle of the Duke of Rongguo. The uncle's deceased wife was An Guogong's aunt, and Chen's aunt. If it was true, Wei Yonghou and Chen would have to call Zhao Jue uncle when they saw Zhao Jue.

Such an identity is obviously the crown prince's intention, and Zhao Jue is naturally grateful for it.

Now that he has a new identity, Zhao Jue also asked for an invitation from Fu Ye after he found out that the Chen family would go to Princess Wanchun's flower viewing banquet, and prepared to go to the banquet.

Thinking of Chen's expression when he saw him, Zhao Jue was inexplicably looking forward to it.
