    Kings Seize the Heir¡¿Chapter 23 Suddenly Enlightened

    Zhu Cixuan's chatter box has been prepared for a long time. He learned from his mother yesterday that his eldest brother and fourth brother were very unhappy some time ago. The reason was that the two of them reviewed the income and expenditure of the household department and various places together, but Zhu Cixuan did not know the specific reason why.  I know, he wanted to ask his elder brother today.

    The two princes climbed up the steps, and Zhang Zhong and Liu Xi behind them were also chatting more than ten steps apart. The two knew each other when they were in the palace, and they got along well.

    "Brother, I heard that the eldest brother and the fourth brother had a conflict over the audit of the Ministry of Household Affairs and local finances. I don't know what happened?" Zhu Cixuan asked and found that the eldest brother Zhu Cixuan's face was a little ugly.

    Zhu Ci became a little angry when he thought of this matter, "It's nothing else. When I reviewed the finance of Zhejiang Province, I found that there was something wrong with the income and expenditure of Zhejiang Province. According to previous years' reports, last year and before  There is a difference of nearly 5 million yuan. This is something that will never happen. I checked the overall income and expenditure of counties in Zhejiang, and there is also a difference of 4 million yuan from what was reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs. This must be a fake.  In order to enrich myself, I reported this situation to my father, who ordered me and Ci Ye to investigate the matter, and we went to Zhejiang."

    Zhu Cixuan did not expect that his eldest brother and his fourth brother would go to Zhejiang together again. He had already guessed in his mind that Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Zhejiang, was a staunch supporter of his fourth brother. Although Zhang Huangyan would not cheat to enrich himself, what about the people below!  The eldest brother and the fourth brother will go check it out together. If they can find out the problem, then there is a real problem!

    "I stayed in Zhejiang for two months and traveled to five counties. I randomly checked the treasury of each county and the general ledger of the Bank of Zhejiang. I found that the places with problems had been blocked. I didn't know the problem until I came back.  Where is it!" Zhu Ci did not take Gong Yeliang with him when he went to Zhejiang, but even if he took Gong Yeliang with him, in Gong Yeliang's words, the fraud was probably inseparable from King Wu, who was by his side.  Finding out what the problem is is very difficult.

    "What's the problem?" Zhu Cixuan also wanted to know how the fourth brother fooled the eldest brother, who was following his father's order to inspect the treasury in various places.  If the account really cannot be reconciled, then the missing part will fall into the hands of the fourth brother without asking. I didn't expect that the fourth brother would be so courageous. It seems that he was burned out after being crowned king.

    Zhu Ci took a deep breath, "I didn't take many people with me to Zhejiang, and the inventory couldn't be carried out comprehensively. We could only start the investigation county by county. Every time we inspected a place, someone had already given it to that person in advance.  The county sent the letter, but that county borrowed money from other places and changed the accounts. How could I find out!" Zhu Ci knew that the only person who tipped off the information was Ci Ye, the fourth child, because he knew it in advance.  He and Lao Si were the only ones who wanted to randomly check which county, but no problem was found in three counties.  He said a few words to the fourth brother, and the two brothers quarreled. The fourth brother, Ciye, was confident and knew that he could not find out the problem at all, so he sent him to Zhejiang alone and returned to Nanjing.  .  When the fourth child left, Zhu Ci was holding his breath even more, because when the fourth child was here, the situation was fine, and all the places were very cooperative. As soon as the fourth child left, all the places started to act against each other. He then checked the two counties and found out the difficulties.  Needless to say, the problem was not found in the end.  Zhu Ciye returned to Nanjing angrily. Not only did he join Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Zhejiang, but also his fourth son, Zhu Ciye.  Let him impeach them all.  Offended many people.  For this reason, Zhu Ci was even said a few words by Gong Yeliang.

    Zhu Cixuan can also imagine the scene at that time. His eldest brother had such a temper.  Now all the officials in Zhejiang Province have been offended, but I don¡¯t know how my father handled this matter. ¡°Brother, my father must be aware of the problem. I wonder how my father handled it?¡±

    Zhu Ci's eyes turned red when he heard his fifth brother ask this question, "I haven't waited for my father to deal with this matter! The officials in Zhejiang signed a joint statement and bit me back, saying that I deliberately embarrassed them and made them  They couldn't handle government affairs with peace of mind, and were worried all day long. They also said that I changed my face when I got outside and became domineering. My father scolded me and asked me to shut up and think about it for a month." Zhu Ci naturally knew what his father was doing.  He took the overall situation into consideration, but he was too aggrieved.  My trip to Zhejiang was like returning home disgraced.

    Zhu Cixuan sighed, "Brother, I know your temper very well. I must have suffered a lot of grievances outside and at home, but I just like that my brother would rather bend than bend. What the fourth brother did is too unethical. I  It seems that since he became the Queen of Wu, he has not taken us brothers seriously, but then again, the fourth brother also has a strong back and confidence, we can't compare with him!"

    This sentence touched Zhu Ci's heart. When he went to Zhejiang to check the accounts, he felt it very clearly. Those officials respected him very much, but for the fourth son, he didn't know how much better he was than himself. They had two completely different feelings.  , I don¡¯t know, I thought the fourth child was in charge!

    "Brother, as far as I know, my father is very fond of my eldest brother.I have high hopes for the future crown prince position, or the throne that my father will hold a hundred years from now. I think the eldest brother has the most hope, but neither the fourth brother nor the second brother are people who give up easily.  There is also competitive capital, or in other words, strong capital. The father raised the eldest brother in this way because he hoped that the eldest brother could defeat them. However, the eldest brother was really alone. Otherwise, the father would not have married Liu Zhaoji's daughter as his daughter-in-law.  Even with the help of Liu Zhao's base, there is still some shortcomings. Brother, what do you think of me?  "Zhu Cixuan felt that the heat was almost over and it was time for him to say something.

    Zhu Ci was stunned when he was asked, "Fifth brother, what do you mean?"

    "Brother, I am also very lonely. Like my eldest brother, I have no family. I have admired my eldest brother as a person since I was a child, so I especially hope that my eldest brother can go all the way. I am not talented, but I am willing to help my eldest brother with my own strength. We brothers  When we join hands, we always have more strength. I wonder if the elder brother can like the younger brother." Zhu Cixuan's words were very sincere, and most of them were truly from the bottom of his heart.

    Zhu Ci? He didn¡¯t expect that the fifth brother would mean this. He was so happy that he held Zhu Cixuan¡¯s hand warmly in his palm.  "Fifth brother Big brother, thank you. Hearing these words from fifth brother, big brother's heart is warm. Okay, let us brothers go on together!"

    This is the difference between icing on the cake and providing help when needed. Zhu Cixuan now really feels the difficulty of being alone, and Zhu Cixuan expressed his stance like this.  It is undoubtedly an encouragement to him and a real help in times of need.  If Gong Yeliang is a rare good teacher and adviser, then Zhu Cixuan is as close as ten fingers to the heart, and his closeness is unmatched by others.

    Under Zhu Cixuan's deliberate heart-to-heart talk, the relationship between the two brothers heated up sharply. They were completely different from the time they came down from Purple Mountain to the time they went up. Compared with other brothers, they were much closer.

    Going down from the west of Zijin Mountain is Xuanwu Lake.  Two brothers, Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cixuan, went boating on the lake and talked a lot, all of which were heart-to-heart conversations.

    As Zhu Ci was talking, he found that his fifth brother's eyes were no longer on him. Looking in the direction of his eyes, he found a small boat coming across from him. Standing on the bow was a stunning beauty, who looked just like his fifth brother.  They all looked at each other blankly, and it was obvious that the two people knew each other.

    Zhu Cixuan didn¡¯t expect to meet Akko on the lake. He hadn¡¯t seen him for such a long time. He would be lying if he said he didn¡¯t miss Akko. Lovesickness is the most sad thing. Now he saw Akko.  Zhu Cixuan didn't know what to say, because he wanted to say too much. When he saw A Ke getting closer and closer to him, he turned around and realized that his elder brother had ordered someone to bring the boat closer.

    Akko also saw Zhu Cixuan at the same time and felt his heart beat faster. As the two boats approached, his heartbeat became faster and faster. It wasn't until Zhu Cixuan jumped in front of him that Akko came to his senses. The two of them were like this  Looking at each other.  Everything is in silence.  The temporary separation made them miss each other even more.  It was originally a little interesting, but I was waiting to say goodbye.  You will definitely have more time to think about each other, and your feelings for each other will grow.

    Zhu Ci looked at the fifth brother and the beauty looking at each other. Although he didn't know who the beauty was, she matched the fifth brother very well. When he saw a handsome young man appearing behind the beauty, he signaled Liu Xi to stay, and he followed.  Got on the other side's ship.

    Zhu Cixuan saw Wu Yingxiong and knew that his eldest brother was on the boat, so he couldn't make eye contact with Ake anymore, "Ake, Yingxiong, why did you come out? Come, let me introduce to you, this is my eldest brother, eldest brother  , this is Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui, Marquis of Liao, and this is Ake, the daughter of Marquis Liao."

    When Wu Yingxiong and A Ke heard Zhu Cixuan's introduction, they immediately understood that the person in front of them was Chu King Zhu Cixuan.  Wu Yingxiong bent down and saluted, "Wu Yingxiong kowtows to the prince."

    Only then did Zhu Ci know the identities of these two people, and he hurriedly said, "We are all out for fun, so there is no need to be polite. We are destined to meet each other today, so we might as well go together." When Zhu Ci saw Wu Yingxiong, he suddenly felt something in his heart.  An idea, so I really want to know more about Wu Yingxiong¡¯s personality.

    Seeing Wu Yingxiong talking to his eldest brother, Zhu Cixuan really wanted to say thank you to his eldest brother. Didn't this create opportunities for him and A'ke!  "Ake, let's go over there."

    Today, Ake begged her parents for a long time before being allowed to go out with her brother to see what the imperial city of Nanjing was like. She didn't expect to meet Zhu Cixuan, and she was nervous, scared, and happy at the same time.  Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan's strict discipline made A Ke feel conflicted, which had the opposite effect.

    Zhu Cixuan saw that when he came to the port side of the ship, his elder brother and Wu Yingxiong could no longer see him. He hesitated and took hold of A Ke's hand. This was considered to be the time to take action!  Although A Ke struggled slightly for a few times, she finally let him hold her, but her face was extremely red, "In Beijing, I!" Zhu Cixuan said!  Hearing someone coming over, Akko pulled his hand back.

    What¡¯s coming isZhu Ci?  After all, he is a young man and only sees what is in front of him, not as much as his father thinks.

    Zhu Ci also noticed something strange and smiled at the fifth brother, "Fifth brother, I didn't expect that during your trip to Beijing, you would meet such a beautiful woman. No wonder you got sick!" The talk with Wu Yingxiong just now was indeed creating trouble for the fifth brother.  Let fifth brother have a few private words with the beauty.  Even he could see the look in Zhu Cixuan's eyes, which showed what Zhu Cixuan looked like just now.

    Zhu Cixuan's face was slightly red, "Brother is joking, it's not what he thought. I was sick before I met A Ke!" Seeing that the more he argued, the more confused he became, Zhu Cixuan stopped talking.

    It was a pleasant trip, Zhu Cixuan called Wu Yingxiong aside from time to time to create opportunities for his younger brother to express his feelings to the beauty. This made Zhu Cixuan extremely grateful. After saying goodbye to Wu Yingxiong's brother and sister, Zhu Cixuan looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, thank you!"

    Zhu Ci laughed and said, "Yes, that A'ke is indeed a good person. The fifth brother is blessed with beauty. How do you think Wu Yingxiong and I are? You have known each other for a long time, so you should have a general understanding!"  The fifth brother looked puzzled, "It's about your sister Chunyu. Chunyu has almost become a princess who can't get married!"

    Zhu Cixuan knew that it was a lie that he couldn't get married, and it was true that his father was reluctant to marry. When he heard what his eldest brother said, Zhu Cixuan smiled and said, "Brother, Sister Chunyu is three or four years older than Wu Yingxiong!" Although Chunyu is as beautiful as a flower, she looks like a flower compared to Wu Yingxiong.  The bigger one was a bit bigger. "This Wu Yingxiong, how can I put it! It's passable. If you think about it carefully, it's a piece of material." As he said that, Zhu Cixuan thought that if Wu Yingxiong became the consort and he married A Ke, then he would be  The entanglement is complicated!

    "It doesn't matter how old you are. I'm a female junior, so I'm going to hold on to the golden brick! Wu Sangui probably can't say anything against it. He can't even ask for such a good thing! I will continue to drag the Chun Yu incident with my father.  The further you go, the more difficult it will be." Zhu Ci was quite anxious about this matter. Besides Chun Yu and Wen Ting, they were all very important.

    Zhu Cixuan thought about what would happen if this idea came true. The eldest brother would marry Liu Zhaoji's daughter, Chun Yu would marry Wu Yingxiong, and he would marry A Ke. In this way, Liu Zhaoji and Wu Sangui would be separated from the eldest brother and himself.  Tightly tied together, in any case, this Chu king group with the background of marriage was formed. Liu Zhaoji has been in charge of the southwest and northwest for many years, taking charge of the army and the people. Wu Sangui also has a lot of prestige in the military.  No matter how he looked at it, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. After thinking about it, Zhu Cixuan began to think about how to facilitate this matter. He wondered whether his father would agree.

    Zhu Cixuan discussed this idea with his eldest brother. Since he has decided to temporarily team up with his eldest brother, he should spare no effort in making suggestions. After all, helping his eldest brother means helping himself.

    Zhu Ci really didn't expect that. After hearing the fifth brother's analysis, it was really an opportunity to grow rapidly. However, it was originally for the sake of his sister's marriage, but now it turned into his own plan. This made Zhu Ci a little uncomfortable and always felt a little bit.  The meaning changed, but in the end he was convinced by Zhu Cixuan because he felt that what the fifth brother said was right. This is called a win-win situation. This word is really appropriate.

    Zhu Cixuan and his eldest brother were on their way back home. Zhu Cixuan felt that today was a wonderful day. Not only did he really join forces with his eldest brother, but he also met A'ke again. He suddenly came up with a good idea and built a good future. It was really good luck.  ah!  Unfortunately, when he returned to Prince Qin's Mansion, he was poured "a basin of cold water" on his heart.
