Chapter 216 062: How to Believe King Rong's Winning
Chu Yin met King Rong three days later. Before that, King Rong had sent people to send invitations three times in a row, so he was very impatient.

The current situation is clear. King Rong's camp is obviously weaker than the crown prince. Behind the crown prince is not only the support of the emperor, but also the empress, the Xie family, the Shen family, and the forces behind these two families. After careful calculation, it is almost half of the courtiers. They all stand in the crown prince's camp. Excluding the emperor, the Shen family is already very difficult. The three princes of the Shen family are already dreadful. He and the other two are the big officials of the frontier with heavy troops in their hands, not to mention the Xie family. Although the Xie family has been suppressed and kept a low profile these years, and gradually withdrew from the court, the Xie family is a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are countless disciples, and there are disciples who have passed away all over the court and all over the world. These are all the forces of the Xie family.

Forget it, the most important thing is that Xie's family has deep friendship with Prince Chu's House, Zhenxihou's Pei's House and Ji Kanghou's Mu's House. Family friends, the Prince of Chu's Mansion is fine, the other two families are related by marriage to the Xie family, Zhenxihou's eldest son Pei Kai and Xie's miss Xie Xun will get married in half a month, and the eldest lady of the Ji Kanghou's mansion Mu Zhu married three years ago. Xie Chou, the second son of the Xie family's second room, these two families are naturally in the same camp as the Xie family. Now only the Chu Palace is left, and I don't know what their attitude is. The main reason is that the relationship between the Chu Palace and the royal family is delicate because of Fu Yue's incident recently. Although Chu Yin has often been out of the mansion recently, he has been doing business in secret. On the surface, he has always lived in seclusion and ignored the outside affairs. Being demoted many times is more or less related to Chu Yin and Fu Yue, so King Rong asked to see Chu Yin many times, the purpose is obvious. Once he wins the support of the Chu Palace, a Chu Palace can reach Zhenxi Hou Mansion and Ji Kanghou The strength of the mansion will also allow King Rong to get more support from the military. You must know that the influence of the Chu Palace in the Daqin military is extraordinary. Even if the strength is not as good as it was in the past, it should not be underestimated.

Chu Yin met King Rong in the reception hall of the palace. After King Rong was introduced, he greeted Chu Yin with courtesy, but Chu Yin treated him indifferently, without showing any emotion. Serve tea.

Seeing Chu Yin's indifferent attitude, King Rong was still calm and calm on the surface, but he felt a little uneasy. After deliberating for a while, he tentatively said: "I heard that Princess Chu was in poor health after she was found after an accident, and she has been recuperating. I have not been able to see the princess during the visits, and I don't know if Princess Chu is safe now?"

Chu Yin said lightly: "Thank you King Rong for your kindness, the princess is very good!"

Repeatedly warming his face and sticking his cold butt, King Rong felt more and more embarrassed, but he still bit the bullet and said: "That's good!"

At this time, a servant from the mansion brought a cup of tea and put it on the table beside King Rong, and King Rong took a sip to cover up his embarrassment and stiffness.

Although they knew each other since they were young, King Rong and Chu Yin didn't have much contact because they were not in the same age group. King Rong was already 36 years old, while Chu Yin was not yet 27. The difference was almost ten years old. Chu Yin was still the high-spirited one back then. When he was a teenager, King Rong was already in his 20s, a prince with a low profile and a low sense of presence. At that time, the Chu Palace supported the prince, so King Rong and the people in the Chu Palace were not very familiar with each other. It is impossible to have any contact with Chu Yin's mansion. Since Fu Yue came to Jicheng last year, Chu Wang's mansion began to revive. King Rong has never had any contact with Chu Wang's mansion. For Chu Yin, Rong Wang is very concerned. , and still somewhat understand the position and crisis of Chu Yin and Chu Palace, as well as Chu Yin's state of mind after Fu Yue's accident this time, so this time, he dared to ask to see Chu Yin.

But now, Chu Yin only saw him after he begged to see him many times. King Rong was a little confused about what Chu Yin meant. He had eight percent confidence at first, but now it was half-confidence.

The reception hall was silent for a long time, King Rong didn't know how to speak, but Chu Yin spoke impatiently.

"His Royal Highness King Rong came to see this king this time, is it just to greet and drink tea?"

King Rong immediately said: "Of course not!"

Chu Yin's expression was solemn and indifferent, and there was no emotion in his words: "Since it is not the case, King Rong said it is the intention of coming, there is no need to beat around the bush, this king likes to speak out!"

King Rong took a deep breath, and then said: "Since that's the case, then I won't say any more!"

Chu Yin nodded, leaned slightly on the back of the chair, and made a posture of listening attentively.

King Rong looked at Chu Yin, and said with a serious face, "My king came today with only one purpose, and that is to hope that the king of Chu can help me!"

Hearing this, Chu Yin was not surprised, but his long and narrow eyes slowly narrowed.

King Rong smiled faintly, but couldn't hide the helpless tiredness between his brows, and said: "The King of Chu should be clear about the current situation in the court, but it's ridiculous to say it. In the eyes of outsiders, it's the king who wins over the courtiers. Cheng Yidang and his father are fighting against each other, but the king knows best when he is in the middle of it. The king can't help himself. If it weren't for someone's secret manipulation, the king would not be able to get to where he is today. Thinking about what happened before and after, if you say All this has nothing to do with the King of Chu, I don't believe it, since the King of Chu is trying his best to stir up troubles and disrupt the court situation, presumably there is only one purpose, which is to become an enemy of the father and revenge, is this king's guess right?"

Chu Yin was noncommittal, and only asked, "So what if it's right or wrong?"

King Rong looked at Chu Yin with a sincere face, and said solemnly and earnestly: "The king of Ben came here today, and he can be regarded as asking for the king of Chu. If so, then open the skylight and speak frankly. The king of Chu hates my father so much. After all, this king’s mood is the same as that of the king of Chu. Now I am openly fighting against the emperor, which is regarded as an open enemy of the emperor, and the palace of the prince of Chu is also at odds with the emperor , the king of Chu is well versed in the art of war, and he should know that the enemy of the enemy is a natural ally. Since the emperor can't tolerate me and you, why don't we cooperate? As long as the king of Chu is willing to help the king win the throne, the king will win This promises that the King of Chu will never treat the Prince of Chu’s house badly, and things will come true in the future. case, to clear up the grievances of Prince Qing's Mansion!"

Hearing this, Chu Yin's expression moved slightly, as if he was very surprised, but he didn't say anything, he just sat there thinking about something with an unpredictable expression, and looked at it, it seemed that he was a little loose.

King Rong observed Chu Yin's expression, and seeing that he seemed to be a little loose, he said immediately: "In the case of Prince Qing's Mansion, I always believed that King Qing was wronged. Even if Wang believed in King Qing's loyalty and patriotism at that time, there was nothing he could do about it, but if this king could ascend to the throne in the future, he would definitely wash away the stigma for King Qing and rectify the name of Prince Qing's mansion. The traitors who framed Prince Qing’s mansion were all punished as crimes. The King of Chu should be clear that his father would not do such a thing, and the prince would not be able to do it if he ascended the throne. Heart, I will do what I say!"

Hearing the words, Chu Yin laughed immediately, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, so he said indifferently: "It seems that King Rong came prepared today?"

King Rong did not deny it.

The ancestors of the Chu Palace and the Qing Palace were the founding heroes who followed the Emperor Taizu to conquer the country. They were also founding generals, but the other four were only feudal lords, and each of them led a military power of less than 20. In one fell swoop, the status is second only to the emperor. Prince Qing's Mansion holds an army of 50 in the north, and Prince Chu's Mansion holds an army of 40 in the south. Where their troops are stationed, they can dictate all government and military affairs.

Although one south and one north do not interfere with each other, it is well known in Daqin that the two palaces have a good relationship from generation to generation. Nie Su and Chu Zhong grew up wearing a pair of trousers as good brothers. It was only because of a bet, and later, because of a chance encounter or a deliberate acquaintance, Nie Su met Zhao Ding. After Ding was a person with a temper, he supported him without hesitation. Chu Zhong also became a supporter of Zhao Ding because of his brother. Later, because of the relationship between these two people, their children are naturally close as a family. Otherwise, how could Nie Su's daughter slave betroth her to Chu Yin when Nie Lanzhen was born, and Chu Yin's affection for Prince Qing's mansion is extraordinary. He said that the case of King Qing's Mansion was a rebellion in Chu Yin's heart, and it was also a weakness. King Rong knew this, so he came prepared.

He knew that the only weakness of Chu Yin that he could take advantage of was Prince Qing's Mansion. He didn't know much about the others, and even if he knew, he didn't dare to touch them lightly.

After this incident, everyone knew what Fu Yue meant to Chu Yin, which was his greatest weakness and weakness, but even if he knew this, King Rong didn't dare to take advantage of it, of course, he couldn't make use of it either.

Chu Yin pondered for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "It is undeniable that King Rong's words really moved my heart, but there is no basis for promises. Promises are too cheap. After the painful lessons of my father's generation, I will not Dare to believe it easily, after all, there is some truth to the saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, so King Rong thinks, why should I trust you?"

King Rong frowned, and asked cautiously: "Then what does the King of Chu want me to do in order to believe it?"

Chu Yin said slightly displeased: "What this king wants is the sincerity of King Rong, not just a rhetorical question from King Rong. If King Rong himself can't convince this king, how can this king dare to put the entire King Chu's mansion under pressure?" On King Rong? After all, King Rong has little chance of winning now!"

King Rong did not deny this, and nodded honestly: "Yes, the crown prince has won the support of his father, and the support of half of the court officials involved in the Xie family and the Shen family. The king has been planning for many years, and the military power is far superior to this king. Now the king has little chance of winning, but if he can get the support of the king of Chu, this king is sure to defeat the prince!"

Chu Yin raised his eyebrows, smiled inscrutablely, leaned there slightly, and asked leisurely: "It's a good thing for King Rong to have great ambitions, but in the end, the Xie family is now strongly supporting the prince. With the same enemy, it is only logical to support the prince. Compared with His Royal Highness, the prince is the shortcut. The king can get the promise of the king today from the prince. It is not only the king who can give it. So, why should the king help you?"

King Rong hit the nail on the head: "Because the King of Chu has no choice!"

Chu Yin was surprised when he heard the words, but he became a little interested: "Oh? What do you mean by this?"

"My father will not let the Chu Palace go. The King of Chu knows this better than anyone else. Of course, the father is getting old, and now it is the situation. Maybe he has no energy to deal with the Chu Palace. His usual Doing things will definitely let the new king eradicate future troubles, and when the prince was in full swing, the Chu palace suddenly abandoned him. He must have had a heart-to-heart knot. The king of Chu put pressure on him, and his father drove him away from the capital. Although he asked for it himself, you and I both understand what kind of temperament he is. We will redouble our efforts to deal with Chu Palace!"

"He has exactly the same temperament as my father, just as mean, ungrateful and ignorant. The king of Chu probably doesn't know why the queen treats him coldly. When the case of the royal palace was celebrated, he didn't feel sad but gloated and applauded. The empress and the Xie family abandoned him like a shoe. You must know that King Qing is not only his reliance, but also his half-teacher. He still has no compassion. It's hard to say whether he can treat the royal family of Chu well. The queen and Xie's family are his mother and mother clan. Maybe he has some fears, but he doesn't have any fears about the royal family of Chu. He hated Qing Qing at the beginning. The palace, of course, also hates the palace of Chu. If he was in the past, maybe the king of Chu could still use it as a deterrent, but now that he has returned after several sudden changes, he is no longer the domineering and arrogant Zhao Zhen that he was in the past. The king of Chu wants to control him. But it will be difficult!"

The change in Zhao Zhen, King Rong saw in his eyes, he was surprised. The former prince was ambitious but had no plans, irritable and conceited, and his mind could be seen through at a glance, but the current prince was shocked and did not see happiness and anger. He can't see clearly enough. He believes that Chu Yin knows what he can see. After all, if his guess is correct, Chu Yin is very clear about the things in the court.

Chu Yin nodded, agreeing with King Rong's remarks, but agreeing does not mean full approval, he thought for a while, and asked with a half-smile: "As His Royal Highness said, the crown prince is unreliable, so what about Rong?" How can His Royal Highness guarantee that you will not become the second His Majesty? King Rong is so self-proclaimed, how can he not know that there is a saying that bad bamboos cannot produce good bamboo shoots? You say that the prince is as mean and ungrateful as His Majesty, but you are not the same His Majesty's son? How did you convince me to trust you?"

 The great motherland's 69th birthday, well, it's a university day, I wish you all a happy National Day, la la la~
