Chapter 821: Helpless Zhang Juzheng

Both of them placed their hopes on the future emperor, and now they are just waiting for Emperor Jiajing to die, so they naturally refuse to be kicked out of the court for a short period of fame.

This is the reason why Gao Gong and Xu Jie did not participate in this matter. However, it could not hurt King Yu's heart, so Zhang Juzheng came to accompany King Yu for a while under Xu Jie's order. Although Gao Gong did not send anyone to come every day...

He wanted to send someone but no one was there. Can this person be sent casually?

If people know that Gao Gong sent someone to meet Prince Yu, then news of Gao Gong's public support for Prince Yu would be heard in the court immediately. But Zhang Juzheng could come because Zhang Juzheng was also the teacher of Prince Yu, so his coming only represents himself, not Xu Jie.

However, Gao Gong also secretly gave King Yu a sentence.

"Don't panic, I'm here."

After King Yu got this sentence, he was excited for several days. However, as time went by, Gao Gong no longer heard any news. Instead, King Jing's momentum became more and more powerful, which made King Yu feel that Gao Gong was perfunctory and deceiving him.

At least Gao Gong was scared and abandoned him after seeing King Jing gaining power.

So, he began to feel panic again!

Seeing Zhang Juzheng sitting there with a helpless look on his face, King Yu sniffed and said:

"Mr. Zhang, the fourth brother gave birth to a prince, and he is the only grandson of his father. I..."

Zhang Juzheng felt that he was constantly traveling through time and space these days, and he was repeating the same words with King Yu almost every day. In order to calm King Yu's emotions, he had to speak:

"Your Highness is worried. Your Highness is just afraid that King Jing will be noble because of his son. However, since ancient times, he has always been the chief of the eldest son. His Highness is the eldest son, so he is naturally the crown prince in law. All the civil and military officials in the court will support you."

"Will all the civil and military officials in the court support me?" King Yu said bitterly, "Not to mention how many officials around the fourth brother support him now, just look at how many people are speaking for me now?"

Looking at the sad King Yu, Zhang Juzheng's heart slowly sank. At this time, Zhang Juzheng was far from Zhang Juzheng, who later became the chief minister of the cabinet. He was still young, not cunning enough, and his vision was not far enough. At this time, he was also a little suspicious of Emperor Jiajing's thoughts.

Why has Your Majesty never appointed the prince?

Does Your Majesty really have the idea of ​​making King Jing the crown prince?

King Yu looked at Zhang Juzheng in silence, and his heart was even more sad, his eyes were wet, and he said in a crying voice:

"All civil and military officials in the court support me? Now even the Gao and Xu are no longer supporting me."

Zhang Juzheng explained a few words to Xu Jie, but he didn't know how to explain. He had asked Xu Jie several times to come and see King Yu, but Xu Jie refused. When asked the reason, Xu Jie just asked him to understand it himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sigh, and the helplessness on his face became stronger. Seeing Zhang Juzheng sighed, the last glimmer of hope in King Yu's heart was shattered, and tears in his eyes flowed down unknowingly.

"The father abandoned me, the Gao army abandoned me, the Xu army abandoned me, the Zhang army...you can leave too, so as not to be implicated by me..."

Zhang Juzheng's face showed a tangled look, and hesitated for a moment. He felt that the emotions of the stable King Yu were much more important than those of the party struggle, so he said softly:

"Your Highness, I remembered someone. As long as he is willing to support Youth Highness, your Highness will be worried."

"Who? There are still such people in the court?"

When King Yu heard this, his eyes immediately emitted light. He was like a drowning man, and he wanted to catch a straw when he saw it.

Zhang Juzheng was confused for a while and finally said, "Luo Xin."

"Master Luo!" King Yu said with a hint of regret on his face: "I sent someone to invite him the night when Master Luo came back."

"How did he say it?"

Zhang Juzheng's heart was thunderous. He still admired Luo Xin very much. Especially Luo Xin's vision. Others had never observed Luo Xin seriously, and even Xu Jie had not observed it seriously. However, Zhang Juzheng had been observing Luo Xin seriously. From the first meeting with Luo Xin, he was shocked by Luo Xin's wisdom. When Luo Xin did one thing one by one, Zhang Juzheng even admired him even more. How could a person who could come out of desperate situations have poor vision?

If Luo Xin had already contacted King Yu, he would express his support for King Yu.

So, is it said that in Luo Xin's view, King Yu will definitely become the crown prince?

"He... didn't come!" King Yu said in frustration.

"Didn't come?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned, then his face became gloomy, and he thought to himself: "Don't Luo Xin look down on Prince Yu?"

"Then... he didn't send you any messages?" Zhang Juzheng asked unwillingly.

King Yu was moved for a moment, and finally shook his head. He was cowardly, but not stupid. He knew what to say and what not to say.

As a result, Zhang Juzheng was really disappointed. For a moment, he was also a little distracted.

"Sir Zhang..."

King Yu pondered for a moment, and he felt that Luo Xin was very capable, but in his reputation and status, he was far inferior to Gao Gong and Xu Jie. To be honest, in his heart, Luo Xin's value was definitely not as important as that of all. Gao Gong and Xu Jie were the ones who could really play a role. But at this time, he saw Zhang Juzheng's face as soon as he heard his words, and he couldn't help but feel nervous:

"Master Luo... is it really that important?"

Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "Your Highness, do you know that Your Majesty gave Luo Xin a golden elixir?"

"Golden Pill?" King Yu's eyes suddenly glared: "Are you talking about the kind of elixir that the father took?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Your Highness may have known that Luo Xin was summoned back to the capital by His Majesty."

"Well, I know!" King Yu nodded and said, "Didn't he let him go to the Zhanshi Mansion and serve as the Zuo Shuzi? Wasn't he idle by his father? Why did he reward him with the golden elixir again?"

"The holy intention is unpredictable!" Zhang Juzheng shook his head and sighed, "But I am sure that no one in the world is more wiser than Luo Xin, and no one is more capable than Luo Xin. If His Highness gets Luo Xin's support, he will be invincible."

"Is Mr. Gao and Mr. Xu not as good as Mr. Xu?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "This is incomparable. However, at least Luo Xin drove out the grassland Tartars, Luo Xin pacified the Japanese pirates in the southeast, and Luo Xin managed the Maritime Bureau and solved the Ming Dynasty's finances."

"But...but...the father shouldn't have given Luo Xin a golden elixir. You know, my father didn't give Yan Song a golden elixir at the beginning. My fourth brother and I both asked my father, but neither of us."

In fact, Zhang Juzheng was also very surprised. How could he know that at that moment, Emperor Jiajing regarded Luo Xin as his confidant?

"No matter what, this proves that Your Majesty is definitely not idle Luo Xin, and you should still trust Luo Xin very much."
