Chapter 284: See the Prince (2)

When Guo Zhiyuan heard Zhu Changluo's tone, he knew that he was extremely unhappy with him at this moment. He was deliberately trying to find his own fault and deal with him. He quickly bowed and said, "Guo Zhiyuan can be supported by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. During his tenure in Fujian, he has been diligent and dared to take a step wrong. He is afraid that he will bear the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how dare he do such a corrupt and abuse of power? This ten thousand taels of silver is the income of the Wei minister's business. When he left the capital, he was short of money and didn't even have the money to go on the road. Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reward of 1,000 taels of silver before he successfully arrived in Fujian. The grace of the water should be repaid with a spring. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's great kindness is temporarily unrequited, and he can only use such common things to express his gratitude..."

Zhu Changluo heard Guo Zhiyuan speak with a very earnest expression and looked a little better. He actually has been paying attention to Guo Zhiyuan's situation. Naturally, he also knows that Miaoyifang is actually Guo Zhiyuan's property. It is easy to pay out 10,000 taels of silver. However, the more he knows Guo Zhiyuan, the more he is confused about how to treat Guo Zhiyuan. On the one hand, he admires Guo Zhiyuan's talent very much and hopes to win over Guo Zhiyuan for his own use. On the other hand, judging from the experience of dealing with Guo Zhiyuan in the Demon Book Case, he also feels that Guo Zhiyuan is a very difficult person to control. If he grows up, it is likely to threaten his position. This threat must be strangled to the bud as soon as possible!

He had already had murderous intentions towards Guo Zhiyuan, but Guo Zhiyuan's words of kindness just now made him hesitate. He felt that Guo Zhiyuan still had the possibility of using it for himself, so he temporarily pressed the murderous intent, changed into an approachable smile again, waved his hand and smiled: "Mr. Guo is here, Ling Zun is the lecturer of my palace. I will support you. Please sit down and tell me what you saw and heard in Fujian. I have never left the capital..."

After hearing what Zhu Changluo said, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a little pity. Zhu Changluo was really pitiful. When he was the prince, he lived in fear all day long and had never even gone out of the capital. Later, he finally became emperor, but he was just a month old and was burping. However, he quickly woke up. He did not have the qualification to sympathize with Zhu Changluo. Zhu Changluo's fate was destined from the moment he was born. Born in an imperial family was a kind of misfortune, not to mention that Zhu Changluo also had a cold-blooded man like Emperor Wanli. People who grew up in this environment will inevitably be distorted. If he sympathized with him, he would be afraid that he would not end up in the end!

Guo Zhiyuan cheered up and told Zhu Changluo about his experience as an official in Fujian. Zhu Changluo's expression was also shady and sunny. His eyes were shining. He felt that Guo Zhiyuan was a rare pillar of talent and should be used at all costs. He then showed a deep look of fear in his eyes. Guo Zhiyuan was so young and acted so despicable. How could he control his growth like this?

Guo Zhiyuan looked at Zhu Changluo's unpredictable expression and became more alert. The superiors were suspicious. People with a personality like Zhu Changluo were not worthy of loyalty. If they were to die for a confidant, they would have to end tragically, just like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan. When Chongzhen admired Yuan Chonghuan, he wanted to hold Yuan Chonghuan to the sky and personally took off his fur coat and put it on Yuan Chonghuan. He also obeyed Yuan Chonghuan. Once he became suspicious, he would be more cruel than anyone else when he started. So Yuan Chonghuan ended up with a slap in his death.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan paid more and more attention to his words. The key points were all followed. Even so, Zhu Changluo felt deeply afraid of him. He looked at him with a complicated expression and sighed: "When the Japanese Palace first met you, I knew that you were definitely not a thing in the pool. I did not read it wrong. You can achieve this after only two years of working in Fujian. The future will definitely be limitless!..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Changluo suddenly turned his tone and stared at Guo Zhiyuan with a burning look and said, "Guo Zhiyuan, are you willing to be loyal to me? I promise that as long as you are willing to serve me, I will ensure that you will rise to the top and you will be on par with Lingzun within ten years. When I succeed to the throne, I will allow you to enter the center of the court, and the position of the chief minister in the future will definitely be yours!"

It has to be said that in order to win over Guo Zhiyuan, Zhu Changluo made a lot of money and even made a promise to be the chief minister. He even exposed his hidden ambitions. No one would be unmoved. However, Guo Zhiyuan had already seen his true face and knew that Zhu Changluo was definitely not a good master. Moreover, Guo Zhiyuan knew that Zhu Changluo could only be the emperor for one month. At that time, he would not only not be the chief minister, but also completely involved in the cruel party in the court. In the midst of the dispute, so the conditions offered by Zhu Changluo would have no temptation to Guo Zhiyuan.

However, Guo Zhiyuan did not dare to directly refuse Zhu Changluo's win over. Zhu Changluo even exposed his hidden ambitions in order to win over him. If he refused directly, Zhu Changluo would be afraid that he would kill him immediately to silence him to eliminate future troubles. He had to pretend to be honest and trepidated and said vaguely: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the future emperor. Isn't the loyalty to the court loyal to the Crown Prince? Isn't the empress loyalty to the Crown Prince? Isn't the position of chief minister dare not expect extravagantly. The crown prince has the kindness of supporting the minister. Even if the crown prince does not say it, the council should do his best to revitalize my Ming Dynasty and die!..."

Zhu Changluo frowned as soon as he heard this. He had already made the words clear, but Guo Zhiyuan was still vague. His eyes suddenly flashed with cold light and murderous intent. Guo Zhiyuan's vision was not good, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I am here today. I have another matter to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help..." As he said that, he told him about the establishment of a government office in Dongfan.

Sure enough, Zhu Changluo's attention was suddenly attracted by this incident. He pressed his murderous intent and said in surprise: "The Dongfan is just a deserted island. Why did you want to open a government office in Dongfan? You promised your father that you would not spend a monday or a grain of the court, and you also donated 100,000 taels of silver to the court every year. How could this be done?..."

Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Dongfan is a treasure island, but people do not know its value. I am sure that I dare to promise the emperor. Otherwise, wouldn't I be joking about my own life?..."
