I understand. What else is there to not understand?
It's just a replay of the big case of 20 years ago. No, this time is different from the big case of 20 years ago. Zhong Zhiheng wants to put King Pingxi to death, but still through Zhong Mingwei.
Zhong Mingwei looked at the hands that he had pressed on the scarlet carpet. After a while, he kowtowed heavily and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, father, for your kindness!"
"You are the eldest son of me and the queen, so it is only natural for me to love you dearly," Zhong Zhiheng sighed softly, "Mingwei, after we have annihilated the King of Pingxi, I will send you to rule the East Palace."
"Yes, thank you, father," Zhong Mingwei said, hesitating and asking carefully, "Then is Concubine Hui..."
"You don't have to worry about her. There are always women who don't know the rules in the harem. She naturally has her own place to go," Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, while picking up the teacup and gently sipping it. "This is not something you need to worry about. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the follow-up of the murder of the fourth prince."
"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Father. I will not let you down." Zhong Mingwei kowtowed.
"Mingwei, I'm very pleased that you are so sensible." Zhong Zhiheng looked at the person kneeling respectfully in front of him and let out a satisfied sigh.
…
After Zhong Mingwei left, Zhong Zhiheng was the only one left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He leaned on the couch with his eyes closed and rested. Zhao Ruhai came in to report something, but seeing that Zhong Zhiheng seemed to be sleeping soundly, he did not dare to wake him up. He immediately took out a cashmere blanket to cover Zhong Zhiheng, but as soon as the blanket was covered on Zhong Zhiheng, Zhong Zhiheng suddenly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It was my clumsiness that woke you up! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Zhao Ruhai was so busy that he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"It's okay. I wasn't asleep anyway." Zhong Zhiheng yawned and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"Your Majesty, Commander Jiang is outside asking to see you." Zhao Ruhai got up from the ground and bowed to report.
"Oh, let him in," Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, looking at Zhao Ruhai, "You don't have to serve here."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Zhao Ruhai then took the dishes and chopsticks on the small table and left.
"Your Majesty, I greet you and wish you the best!" Jiang Bairen came in and bowed.
"Okay, stand up," Zhong Zhiheng said calmly. He took a sip of tea and looked at Jiang Bairen. "What happened in the middle of the night?"
"Your Majesty, the people I sent to Ganzhou just sent a letter back saying that Cui Youan was very excited when he heard that Your Majesty gave Prince Hui the fief of Yongzhou, and then he quickly sent people to Lingnan, probably to contact the Zou family, and also sent people to Yongzhou to wait for Prince Hui early," Jiang Bairen said in a deep voice, "It is exactly as Your Majesty expected. Cui Youan is unwilling to give up, and I am afraid he still has the intention of helping Prince Hui to make a comeback."
"Haha, it is said that wildfires cannot burn them all, and spring breezes will bring them back to life. Cui Youan is even more persistent than the weeds," Zhong Zhiheng said with a sneer, curling his lips and squinting his eyes, "I wonder what Zou Shijie's attitude is. Is he also like Cui Youan, unwilling to give up but still persistent?"
"I don't know yet. I have to wait for news from Lingnan," Jiang Bairen said. After a pause, Jiang Bairen whispered, "I think Zou Shijie is a smart man. Just by looking at how he has worked hard in the Ministry of Justice over the years, I know that he is a man with ambitions. I believe that he is so smart that he must be able to think things through. He will definitely not be as stubborn as Cui Youan."
