The Emperor could understand what Zhuo Jun wanted.
Who wants to be controlled by others like a puppet for life?
“If Prince Jin rebels and is executed in the future, I will allow you to change your female identity and start a new life. I will also arrange a new identity for you.”
It was impossible to be an official, but it was no problem to arrange a merchant or a young lady from a small family.
After marriage and giving birth to children, Zhuo Jun’s new life can be considered complete.
Zhuo Jun saluted the Emperor: “Thank You, Your Majesty.”
“I am willing to serve the Emperor.”
She knew, of course, that she had to give to get something.
If she wants to be free, she must help the Emperor deal with Prince Jin.
The Emperor likes to deal with smart people.
Although the information Zhuo Jun revealed was very important, he still needed her to do something.
The Emperor first asked: “Prince Jin arranged for you to the capital, the main task and goal is what?”
Zhuo Jun truthfully replied: “Let me imperial examination into the official, at least to be admitted to the second grade.”
“Then get close to Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, get them to work for Prince Jin in secret.”
She paused, glanced at Xiao Hanzheng, and then said: “Prince Jin told me that if I really can’t win Xiao Hanzheng over to work under him, I should get close and seduce him, then have an intimate relationship with him.”
“He heard that Xiao Hanzheng loves his wife very much and that Shi Qingluo has a fierce character, so if Xiao Hanzheng had a relationship with me, Shi Qinglou might separate from him.”
“As long as Xiao Hanzheng doesn’t want to lose Shi Qingluo, he has to listen to my threat.”
She scoffed at the order.
Firstly, she wouldn’t use her own body to do such a thing in order to complete the order.
Secondly, Xiao Hanzheng was not a fool, and would not let himself fall into a pit. How can it be so easy to take advantage of threats and inducements?
The meaning of Prince Jin was actually to use the honey trap if normal cooperation didn’t work.
After all, she studied for many years, and Xiao Hanzheng can have common words can chat, but also can be side by side of the existence.
According to the nature of men, such a woman was hard to find, so Xiao Hanzheng would be interested in her.
Zhuo Jun felt unreliable after listening to it.
Men were not all the same, with his life experience, could such a plan be successful?
Her intuition was right, Xiao Hanzheng was not an ordinary man.
When he didn’t find out she was a woman, he would still associate with her normally.
Later on, he always hides from her.
The Emperor was speechless when he heard Prince Jin’s arrangement.
He doesn’t know what his imperial younger brother thinks all day long, but still so conceited.
Xiao Hanzheng after listening to a black line, Prince Jin thought highly of him.
Does he seem that easily charmed by beauty?
The Emperor asked: “If you succeed, what is the next plan?”
Zhuo Jun replied: “If I succeed, Prince Jin will ask his men to advise your Majesty to transfer Xiao Hanzheng to the north.”
“Then let Shi Qingluo think of ideas to make money, or ask her to give moneymaking method to make money.”
“After all, when Xiao Hanzheng went to the north, it would be easier for Prince Jin to control him and his wife in his territory.”
“And you?” The Emperor.
Zhuo Jun said: “Prince Jin will also let his men advise his majesty to transfer me to the northern border.”
“Prince Jin also asked this humble servant to pretend to be loyal to his majesty. After returning to the northern border, he would give me some news to deliver to His Majesty in the capital.”
“With his majesty’s trust, Prince Jin and his men will help me sit in the position of magistrate of the northern city.”
“He will also create some achievements for me. When the time comes, he will help me be transferred to the capital. So that when Prince Jin decides to rebel, I can also provide some information about the current events in the capital.”
“If Prince Jin fails in his rebellion, he said not to expose myself, but continue to climb up the court as far as possible, and finally help my brother seize power.”
Listening to Zhuo Jun’s words, Xiao Hanzheng finally understood why Zhuo Jun could become the magistrate of the northern city in his previous life.
She probably didn’t have the chance to surrender to the Emperor, and could only work according to Prince Jin’s arrangement.
Or has already surreptitiously defected to the Emperor, therefore she became the Emperor’s spy on Prince Jin’s side.
The latter may be greater, after all, Zhuo Jun was very smart and has been very calm and rational. She knew what she wanted.
The Emperor thought for a moment: “OK, then you all go to the north.”
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said: “You pretend to be persuaded by Zhuo Jun to join Prince Jin’s side, let Qingluo help Prince Jin develop his territory in the north.”
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
He added: “I will send someone to protect you. If your life is in danger, someone will help you.”
“When the time comes, you and Zhuo Jun cooperate, first find out the treasure, and then try to find evidence of Prince Jin’s plan to rebel.”
The Emperor squinted his eyes. Prince Jin was the one who wanted to lead the rebellion, not the other way around.
“I want everyone to know that Prince Jin conspired with the remnants of the previous dynasty and with GE country.”
His younger brother has always been a man of face and reputation.
He wanted his opponent to have a bad reputation.
Colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty and Ge, treason was no different.
“This humble servant will obey his Majesty’s order.” Xiao Hanzheng and Zhuo Jun only need to listen to know the Emperor’s meaning.
The Emperor let Zhuo Jun and Prince Jin’s people continue to contact each other. He wanted Prince Jin’s men to take the initiative to give him advice to send Xiao Hanzheng and Zhuo Jun to the Northern Border.
Originally, he was still thinking, about how he sent Xiao Hanzheng to the north without Prince Jin’s constant restraint.
After all, although he wanted to let Xiao Hanzheng do things on the northern border. He doesn’t want Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to have an accident.
Now that Prince Jin has taken the initiative to come to his door, he won’t be polite.
Zhuo Jun nodded: “Yes!”
After a while, the Emperor’s shadow guard sent Zhuo Jun home first, in fear of Prince Jin’s men finding out about her disappearance.
After Zhuo Jun left, the Emperor looked at Xiao Hanzheng.
“Do you think her words are credible?”
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said: “I don’t think she is lying, but it may not be true. Maybe she is pretending on purpose.”
Prince Jin has many eyes in the court. If his cronies were suddenly pulled out, he would be suspicious of Zhuo Jun.
And some events were matched in his previous life.
Then he said: “It’s better to test them one by one while being wary of her.”
The Emperor was satisfied with Xiao Hanzheng’s answer: “I also believe some of her words, so when you go to the north, pay more attention to Zhuo Jun.”
Zhuo Jun didn’t look like she was lying, but who could be sure that this wasn’t Prince Jin’s intentional arrangement?
Xiao Hanzheng also thought of together: “Yes, I will stare at her.”
The Emperor said: “If she is sincere, cooperate with her on the northern border, and attack Prince Jin by surprise.”
Then squinted his eyes as he said: “If she is just acting, then no need to let her come back.”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “Yes!”
The Emperor also told Xiao Hanzheng to be mentally prepared and some of the situations on the northern border before letting him leave.
Xiao Hanzheng entered the palace in secret, therefore he also left the palace the same way. No one found out what happened.
