Chapter 723: Deceiving the Young Man
The two young men stood upright, like orchids and jade trees, with tall figures and handsome looks.
The two of them looked at the person standing on the stairs at the same time.
Wei Ziang asked, "Since His Majesty has summoned us, why don't you meet His Majesty's men?"
Zhao Shu did not answer Wei Ziang's question. His eyes swept across the faces of the two young men.
"You two are both excellent scholars, the top scorer and runner-up in the imperial examination. Why do you want to hang out with the unambitious Sixth Brother?"
This made Zhao Shu puzzled.
In his impression, these scholars were very aloof and looked down upon playboys.
The sixth brother is a typical playboy who doesn't like to study, loves to play and is good for nothing.
Xu Jue said, "Because he is a prince. People always strive for higher positions. It won't do us any harm to make friends with a prince."
Xu Jue's voice and words were full of snobbery.
Wei Ziang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and agreed, "Yes, and he's quite stupid. We can let him help us."
"Although we are not mediocre, we still need people to help us get things done." Xu Jue continued.
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment.
In some ways, these two young men are indeed talented, as they can make currying favor with the powerful seem like a matter of course.
"Now that my father has appointed me as the crown prince, are you two willing to work for me?" Zhao Shu continued to ask.
Wei Ziang blinked his eyes: "Is it okay?"
Xu Jue was even more enthusiastic, and he said, "I will devote my life to this cause until my death."
Zhao Shu: “…”
He came here today originally to test these two young men.
He remembered the origins of these two young men. They were adopted by Tang Li. Later, Tang Li married Wu Yu, and these two children also became Wu Yu's adopted sons.
So many years have passed, but Zhao Shu is still unwilling to give up.
It was obvious that when he met Tang Li, she was not married yet. If he had chosen Tang Li instead of that woman, the ending would have been different.
If Tangli marries him, these two children will also be his children.
He wanted to win over these two teenagers.
One reason was regret, the second was that he wanted to prove himself to Wu Yu, and the third was that he valued his talent.
His impression of these two young men was that they were extremely talented and had the character of scholars.
Therefore, it must be difficult to win them over.
He was ready to destroy it if he couldn't get it.
He never expected that the two young men would surrender so quickly.
It's a bit abnormally fast.
Abnormality is evil.
"Wu Yu is biased against me, and you two are loyal to me. What if he refuses to treat me like that?" Zhao Shu continued to ask.
"A man who knows the times is a hero. I will persuade my father to be loyal to Your Highness." Wei Ziang said.
"If Your Highness doesn't like him, you can send him to a cold and harsh place on the border. As long as he's alive, it will satisfy our filial piety." Xu Jue said.
Zhao Shu: “…”
This young man actually proposed to send Wu Yu to a bitter and cold place!
Why did he suddenly feel a little sympathetic towards Wu Yu?
These two young men are a bit ungrateful.
However, Zhao Shu was still very happy, happy that Wu Yu was raising two ungrateful people.
No matter how talented such an ungrateful person is, it is not safe to use him.
Zhao Shu wanted to use their minds to destroy them.
"You stay in the palace for the time being. When your father comes back, you can go and persuade him." After Zhao Shu said this, he turned and left.
Xu Jue said seriously, facing the direction where Zhao Shu left, "Your Highness, you can also arrange something else for us to do to ensure our loyalty."
Zhao Shu kept walking and soon disappeared.
Wei Ziang pursed his lips and smiled.
He has big eyes, his eyebrows are curved when he smiles, his fair face is flushed, and he is handsome with a touch of cuteness.
They had clearly entered such a dangerous place, but now they were not afraid at all, but very happy instead.
Xu Jue is such a funny guy.
He seems to have learned bad things too.
The Master said that scholars should be responsible for their words and deeds, and should keep their promises.
He now follows Xu Jue in speaking nonsense and telling lies without hesitation.
Not good.
Wei Ziang decided to reflect for a quarter of an hour.
…
Concubine Liang requested to see the emperor several times, but was turned away each time.
But when she asked again today, she was actually allowed.
When Concubine Liang walked into the palace, the first person she saw was the graceful and elegant Concubine Wang, who was sitting on the chaise longue and looking at her arrogantly.
"Sister Liang Fei is here." Concubine Wang said with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Concubine Liang and Concubine Wang had always been at odds with each other, and they would always exchange a few sarcastic remarks whenever they met.
However, Concubine Liang is also a person who knows the times, and she has been hit one after another recently, so she has no intention of fighting with Concubine Wang.
No matter what Concubine Wang said, Concubine Liang responded in a stammer, swallowing the hatred for her second brother's murder.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the inner hall, like the sound of nails scratching on the floor, very sharp and harsh.
A flicker of malicious joy flashed across Concubine Wang's face. "Concubine Liang, don't you want to see His Majesty? His Majesty is in the inner hall. Come in."
Initially, Concubine Liang was not allowed to see His Majesty because the situation was unstable and they were worried about something unexpected happening.
In the past few days, the Liang family was like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump at all, and there was no major movement in the court, so Zhao Shu relaxed.
Therefore, Concubine Liang was allowed to meet the emperor.
Concubine Liang walked quickly towards the inner hall. When she saw the figure clearly, her eyes widened suddenly.
The man's clothes were dirty, his hair was disheveled and mixed with many white hairs. His body was twisted at a strange angle, his hands were grasping the floor, and his face was distorted with pain.
"Give me the medicine..."
"Please, give me the medicine..."
He said in pain, his voice unclear, as if there was something stuck in his throat.
Concubine Liang found it difficult to connect this hideous and twisted man with the majestic emperor of the past.
His Majesty……
How did Your Majesty become like this?
"What did you do to His Majesty?!" Concubine Liang shouted somewhat out of control.
However, the door closed behind her.
When Concubine Liang wanted to open the door, she found that it was locked from the outside.
The person crawling on the ground slowly approached her, and the mixed smell of blood and urine was overwhelming, almost drowning her.
At that moment, Concubine Liang suddenly became dazed.
Who is she and where is she.
A huge net fell down and trapped her tightly, and she could no longer escape!
…
Liang Mansion.
Liang Dong was executed for plotting to assassinate the emperor, and even his body was not sent back to the Liang family.
A funeral cannot be held at this time.
All the Liang family could do was quietly change into plain clothes.
Zhao Jingxuan, dressed in gray clothes, sat in the room, staring at Leng Ning without saying a word.
Zhao Jingxuan often thought about it.
Did he kill my second uncle?
If he had returned to the palace when the imperial guards came to the Hanlin Academy looking for him instead of secretly coming to the Liang family, perhaps his second uncle would not have died.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhao Jingxuan stood up, opened the door, and saw Liang Yu standing outside.
