"After the court is over this morning, the Crown Prince will hold a banquet in the East Palace to invite you on the pretext of congratulating you.
Don't go there! "
After Ji Botong finished transmitting the message, he turned around and left, walking towards the depths of the morning mist in the palace road.
Zhao Wujiang's thoughts were surging. According to what was revealed on the light ball given to him by Zhang Xukun, there seemed to be some cooperation between the eldest prince and the second prince. They should be members of the same faction. The second prince would assist the eldest prince to secure his position in the East Palace.
But today, after some testing, he discovered that the relationship between the eldest prince and the second prince seemed to be full of loopholes, and the second prince was not wholeheartedly assisting the eldest prince.
People's hearts are greedy, and it is normal for princes to covet the throne.
But Zhao Wujiang always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
There must be some deeper secret.
Such as the immortal body warned by Concubine An and the ancestor worship ceremony eight days later.
It seems that the great Zhou Immortal Dynasty is full of hidden dangers, and it is not as calm as it seems on the surface.
————
Early morning.
Zhao Wujiang met the current emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, Ji Tang, for the first time.
When they met for the first time, he could tell just from his appearance that Ji Tang was a difficult emperor to deal with.
Ji Tang looks kind and gentle, even with a touch of scholarly elegance, but Zhao Wujiang, who has experienced the collapse of the world and has met too many people, can see the "perseverance" in Ji Tang's eyes at a glance!
Obsession! There is someone or something that you want to achieve with a clear goal in mind, but you have not yet achieved it.
Paranoid! To achieve the goal, do whatever it takes, no matter the cost.
Such people, especially those in high positions, are extremely terrifying to the city.
As the emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, he has command over thousands of miles of land, and has countless powerful men under his command. What else do you want?
The country is forever? Long life?
Facts have proved that Zhao Wujiang's vision was not wrong.
He was awarded the title of Wang Zhu. Because of his contribution to the Immortal Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he received awards and was granted the title of Wang Zhu.
Not one as many courtiers had guessed, nor the upper limit of two, but three.
One is what the fourth prince deserves, two is his preference, but three is full of the emperor's intentions.
Just for a trip to Daolian's secret realm to complete the plan of the Emperor's master for the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, three king beads were added to the seal, and this was in addition to the original three king beads.
When the crown prince is in the court, the second prince has five jewels, and the third prince has three jewels, the fourth prince surpasses the second prince and becomes the prince of six jewels, and the next step is the seven jewels, which has no way to advance.
This is so naked as to slap the prince and Prince Wuzhu in the face in the court!
The consequence of a slap in the face is that the princes will inevitably fight, and they will become more and more fierce.
The prince will be hostile to the fourth prince who is getting closer and is about to seize the throne.
As a result, a strange scene occurred in the court today.
When the fourth prince was conferred the title of Wang Zhu, only a few courtiers congratulated him with smiles, while other courtiers had stiff smiles even when congratulating him.
Among the princes, most of them looked ugly, and the second prince Ji Botong looked particularly ugly, so gloomy that he almost shed tears.
Only the two princes had gentle smiles and seemed to be unfazed.
And both of them will be one of the most conspicuous pearls of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty in the future.
Ji Boying, the prince of the East Palace, and Ji Bochang, the prince of Liuzhu.
The morning dispersed quickly.
The courtiers who dispersed were far more lively than in the court, and discussed their views on the matter in private.
Prince Ji Boying was as gentle as jade and had a noble demeanor. She came to Zhao Wujiang and said warmly:
"Bo Chang, I'm very happy to congratulate you.
Brother Huang is waiting for you in the East Palace at Youshi. Remember to come to the banquet. "
He patted Prince Liuzhu on the shoulder, smiled lightly, and left.
Zhao Wujiang's face was expressionless.
Ji Boying didn't say too many words, and it didn't seem like an invitation, more like a notice.
Zhao Wujiang recalled what the second prince had warned him before, but he didn't pay attention.
Conspiracy, overt or covert, it doesn't matter.
Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand more.
There were fewer and fewer people in the main hall. The second prince Ji Botong's expression was uncertain and a little distorted, and his eyes were sinister.
But he didn't look at the eldest prince, nor at the fourth prince, but at the back of his father as he left.
