Volume Four Chapter 365 The High Priest's Palace
After that, everyone chatted for a few more chats, and the conversation was very pleasant. The prince stood up and bowed, and left with satisfaction. And Zhuo Fan was also very happy to send him out, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that the prince didn't realize that he was sold by Fatty, and he still looked proud.
However, Zhuo Fan is still embarrassed to receive such a heavy gift in vain.
But he couldn't blame him. It was the fat man who dragged his eldest brother into the gutter, and it had nothing to do with him. As for the promise to serve Tianyu, no problem, anyway, this empire in the future may not necessarily belong to anyone, hum...
With a sneer in his heart, Zhuo Fan watched as the figures of the two gradually disappeared, and then returned proudly.
Before the two princes walked out of the distance of 100 meters, the prince had already hugged the fat man and said with a smile: "Third brother, thank you for accompanying me here as my brother this time, otherwise, I would use the arrogance of Butler Zhuo as my brother even as the prince. , it's hard to get along with him!"
"What did the eldest brother say? We are brothers. If there is anything, we naturally have to help!" Fatty patted his chubby chest and shouted with great loyalty.
But soon, his two small eyes rolled around and he murmured: "But eldest brother, aren't you the most opposed to us befriending these royal families? Why this time..."
With a long sigh, the crown prince shook his head helplessly: "Do you think your brother is willing to go against the will of the father and make friends with these imperial families? It's just... sigh, the father is old, and in recent years, the management of the government has not been as good as a year. One year. And the Luo family and the emperor's clan are in a state of flux, which is most likely to cause turmoil in the sky and cause the father and emperor to worry. As a son of man, I should relieve my father's worries. That's why I want to be with the newly promoted Luo family, Pulling the relationship, it is also possible to alleviate the contradiction between the two sides at a critical time, and give Tianyu a peaceful and prosperous world!"
"Oh, eldest brother is really serving the country, the people, the father and the emperor, and doing everything in his power, the younger brother really admires it!" Yu Wencong folded his fists, and said solemnly: "Brother, whenever you have anything in the future, younger brother. I will never give up and do it properly, it can be regarded as sharing your worries and doing a little bit for Tianyu and the royal father!"
Nodding his head in approval, the prince patted his shoulder and said excitedly: "Third brother, you will be very happy if you have this heart. As long as the second child has half of your heart, I think our three brothers should really Do it, brothers are united, let's cut off the money. It's a pity, alas..."
"Big brother don't need to be sad, second brother will understand your pains sooner or later!" Fatty grabbed the prince's hand tightly, showing a firm look.
The prince smiled bitterly and nodded slightly: "I hope so..."
"Okay, third brother, the eldest brother has to go back to the imperial city to help the father and the emperor handle some official documents. Let's say goodbye here!" The prince looked at the sky and clasped his fist to the fat man.
Fatty also hurriedly clasped his fists, nodded and said, "Okay, big brother has worked hard, farewell!"
As he said that, he led a group of people and walked in the other direction.
Seeing that chubby body squirming under the scorching sun, the prince smiled dotingly on his face. But after the hill-like figure completely disappeared, the prince's face gradually turned cold, and even a pair of naked disgust appeared in his eyes.
"This fat fat man has so many words!"
Squinting his eyes slightly, the prince took out a white handkerchief, rubbed the greasy palm of the palm that the fat man had grabbed, and then threw the handkerchief away with a flick of his hand.
Then, he took everyone and walked towards a dark alley. After entering the deep darkness, there were three figures waiting there.
"Prime Minister Zhuge, this hall is very polite!" The prince bowed to the person in the middle, and said lightly.
Those three people were the Prime Minister Zhuge Changfeng, and his two close bodyguards, both old men of yin and yang.
The beard trembled slightly, and Zhuge Changfeng chuckled lightly: "His Royal Highness, seeing your complacent state, things should be going well."
"It's going well, but Zhuo Fan's attitude is too arrogant, which makes this hall feel angry and have nowhere to go!" With a cold snort, the prince's face was gloomy.
Laughing suddenly, Zhuge Changfeng shook his head noncommittally: "His Royal Highness, please bear with me for a while. This Zhuo Fan young man has achieved his ambitions, and since his debut, he has not yet failed. , made him look ashamed. He should be arrogant, and it should be. Talented people are all like this!"
"But... such a arrogant person, can he really take over your position in the future and become the prime minister?" His brows trembled slightly, and the prince couldn't believe it.
Nodding lightly, Zhuge Changfeng was very sure: "The greatest housekeeper in the world, you should have heard the emperor's decree. The new emperor is looking for an assistant minister! This Zhuo Fan, although he behaves perversely, is different from the old man. But one thing is the same, it is more than enough to serve as the prime minister!"
"What Prime Minister Zhuge said, this hall understands in my heart!"
Taking a deep breath, the prince nodded lightly, but between his brows, there was still a gloomy cloud: "However, this Zhuo Fan's temper is really unbearable in this hall. When I think of inheriting the great treasure in the future, I will work with this person every day. It's heart-wrenching!"
Xi looked at him, but Zhuge Changfeng burst out laughing: "This point, His Royal Highness doesn't need to worry about it now, maybe...you won't have this chance?"
Unconsciously, his body was shaken, and the prince looked at him in a daze, and said in shock, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it's just an old minister's speculation about His Majesty, hehehe..."
Shaking his head and chuckling lightly, Zhuge Changfeng's eyes flashed lightly, and he said lightly: "As long as emperors pass on the throne, they generally leave the things of kindness to others to the new emperor to do. Especially important officials in the court, there will even be cases where they are demoted first and then later. The matter mentioned is to increase the authority of the new emperor and win over people's hearts. But this time, His Majesty did not leave the power to promote important ministers, but first decided on the prime minister, do you know why?"
His pupils shrank slightly, and the prince was full of surprise and shook his head in confusion.
A look of contempt flashed in his eyes, and Zhuge Changfeng continued: "This is to decide first the minister to assist, and then the king's policy. In such a situation, there is only one possibility, and that is between your three brothers, your Majesty has not yet decided, Who will inherit the throne. In other words, in His Majesty's heart, as long as there is a capable minister like Zhuo Fan to assist, it will be the same for any of you. Your Royal Highness, don't look at you as the prince's honor, but in the battle for the throne, it's really nothing. The advantage can be said, hehehe..."
"How...how could this be..." Unable to help trembling, the prince took two steps back weakly, cold sweat gradually seeping out.
"Now you understand why the old minister suggested that you get close to Zhuo Fan. The emperor should be determined by the minister. Since all three of you are similar, let's see who can cooperate with this future minister of the humerus and get close. Then whoever will sit on that throne. Now the meaning of the future prime minister determines the fate of who of you can become the future emperor!"
Zhuge Changfeng moved his beard slightly, looked at the surprised face of the prince, and sneered: "Of course, since His Royal Highness and Zhuo Fan can't get along, let's give up the throne. Actually, it's not bad to be a free prince..."
"Do not!"
However, before he finished speaking, the prince waved his hand hastily and shouted, "Prime Minister Zhuge, thank you for your suggestion, I understand what you mean, and I will know what to do in the future!"
After speaking, he took people and left in despair. Even the cold sweat on the back leaked out, drenching the golden undershirt.
Watching the staggering figure gradually disappear from afar, Zhuge Changfeng nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, the black-haired old man came to him and said puzzledly: "Master Prime Minister, do you really intend to help this prince to seize the throne?"
"Help him? Hehehe... I don't have the leisurely style to make wedding dresses for others!"
With a flash of light in his eyes, Zhuge Changfeng sneered: "The old man holds the Luo family so high, he just wants to break the three-legged balance, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and gain the benefits of the fisherman. However, how can the old man let him Do you wish? Now I have involved the royal family in this chaos, so that he can no longer be seen as a bystander. Hehehe... If he wants to mess up the situation, the old man should help him make it even more messy. Who will be the fisherman in the end? Not necessarily!"
After the two listened, they looked at each other and bowed in unison: "The prime minister is wise!"
On the other hand, after sending off the two princes, Zhuo Fan returned to the living room again, and Long Yifei, who had been hiding, came out again.
Looking at the gate where the two disappeared, Long Yifei sighed involuntarily: "I didn't expect that even a polite and courteous person like the prince would start to form gangs. It seems that the situation in the imperial capital is not optimistic!"
The rest of the people listened and nodded.
They are all old fritters who have been around for decades, and naturally they can see that the wind is blowing in some wrong direction!
Zhuo Fan also knew it in his heart, but he was not in a hurry. Anyway, the Luo family is thriving now, and they are holding the initiative. As long as they remain unchanged and respond to changes, who can help them?
"Butler Zhuo, someone sent an invitation!" Suddenly, Commander Pang hurried over and shouted loudly.
Zhuo Fan glanced at him sideways, took over the two invitations, looked up, and saw that the content of the first one was actually from the Second Prince's Mansion, and he sneered: "I just sent a prince away, and I'm here again. A second prince!"
"These two princes are very ambitious, and usually love to secretly communicate with major families, but no one ignored him before, but now it seems that he has already caught up with Nether Valley, presumably to accumulate strength for the throne."
Grandma frowned deeply, looked at Zhuo Fan and persuaded: "Butler Zhuo, it is best not to participate in royal affairs, so as not to burn yourself!"
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of getting burned, but what kind of thing is this second child, he actually asked Lao Tzu to see him? Even the prince, he came to see Lao Tzu in person!"
With a disdainful pouting, Zhuo Fan immediately tore the invitation to shreds.
Seeing this, everyone felt ashamed. This housekeeper Zhuo is really arrogant and self-willed, and for this reason, he made a decision directly.
Fortunately, they also considered so many advantages and disadvantages, and they also thought about how not to offend the royal family, and politely refused. But Zhuofan is so domineering and direct, it is impossible to see!
"Um?"
Then, Zhuo Fan looked at the second invitation, but saw only four characters written on it: "The High Priest's Palace!"
The third of the four pillars, the demigod Yun Xuanji!
The pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly, Zhuo Fan looked at the invitation for a long time, silent.
Unexpectedly, he has not had time to visit this mysterious family that has been standing in Tianyu for thousands of years, and the other party has already come to the door...
