Zhao Junchen has been hiding in the Zhao Mansion these days to report his illness, showing that he does not care about the world and is disheartened.

But in fact, Zhao Junchen has never slackened his mind, and any turmoil from the government and the opposition cannot escape Zhao Junchen's eyes.

Therefore, on this day, Zhao Junchen also received the news quickly.

First of all, the officials of the "Zhao Party", who informed Zhao Junchen of the changes at the court meeting as soon as they left the court, and also focused on the blockage of the Cao Canal, the imminent exhaustion of the treasury money and grain, and the helplessness of the Manchu officials and the Deqing Emperor.

Not long after, the believers who infiltrated the inner court through the "Tongji Temple" also informed Zhao Junchen of the news that Emperor Deqing had suddenly turned his face and severely punished the imperial physician Wen Caining.

Then, another angel was sent to the palace to convey the message of Emperor Deqing, asking Zhao Junchen to provide his opinion on the new candidate for the head of the household department.

After receiving these messages, Zhao Junchen returned to the study alone, and then closed the door, retreated left and right, and closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

This is a habit of Zhao Junchen, whenever he has to make an important decision, he will lock himself in a closed and quiet room, and organize his thoughts and meditate alone.

When Zhao Junchen leaves the room, it often means that he has made a decision and made up his mind in his heart.

Then, Zhao Junchen will solicit the opinions of his friends and staff from different aspects many times according to his own ideas, but this kind of solicitation is only to check and fill in the gaps, learn from each other's strengths, and by the way, he also shows an attitude of being good and working together, but in fact, Zhao Junchen rarely completely changes his plans and ideas because of different opinions.

It's hard to say whether this habit is good or bad.

However, so far, Zhao Junchen's plans are going well, so Zhao Junchen does not plan to change his habits.

Everyone in the Zhao Mansion obviously knew Zhao Junchen's habits, and they all quietly avoided the side, not daring to disturb or make noise.

In such a quiet environment, Zhao Junchen was able to concentrate on thinking about countermeasures.

"Obviously, the imperial court is currently in a big trouble, and Emperor Deqing has no choice but to make concessions and show favor to me, so he will severely punish Wen Caining! Although Wen Caining is innocent, Emperor Deqing and I both know it, but for the sake of his own face, Emperor Deqing can only use an obscure attitude to admit his mistakes and show goodwill, so Wen Caining must be sacrificed......

Then, Emperor Deqing consulted me for advice on the selection of the Hubu Shangshu, which meant to return the financial power of the imperial court to me, and also to give in to his interests out of power considerations......

It can be said that Emperor Deqing invited me out of the mountain this time, which can be regarded as giving enough face, if I still refute him and insist that I can't get sick, I will be suspected of not knowing what to do, and Emperor Deqing's character will inevitably be annoyed and angry at that time, maybe it will not be able to end...... From that point of view, I have to go to the front of the stage!

However, the Hubu Yamen was originally my confinement, and Emperor Deqing made a mess of it and then returned it to me, how can it be regarded as a concession? Taking advantage of this opportunity, I must negotiate with Emperor Deqing again to reap more benefits......

Speaking of which, since I joined the cabinet and assisted the government, Zuolanshan's position as the cabinet elder has come to an end, because my qualifications and prestige are insufficient, and the 'Zhao Party' cannot have two cabinet elders at the same time, which is the unspoken rule that the emperor and the officials are all tacit...... In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was currently in an eventful time, and all the factions in the temple couldn't take care of him, he would have been impeached a long time ago......

Therefore, in order to compensate Zuo Lanshan, I have always wanted him to succeed Li Xun as the next governor of Shanxi, and also to pave the way for my next step of the northern commercial tax reform plan, but I have not found a good time, this time is an opportunity, as long as Emperor Deqing agrees to let Zuo Lanshan take over the position of governor of Shanxi, and then let all the "Zhao Party" officials who have been dismissed during this period return to their original positions, then I can only go out of the mountain to help the court solve this dilemma...... After all, I can't repeatedly refute the face of an emperor...... At least not yet! ”

After making such a decision, Zhao Junchen's brows became tighter and tighter, and he thought more and more deeply.

"But now is not the best time for me to step on stage! I have been in the limelight too much during this time, not only the emperor is jealous, but the officials are also jealous, it is the situation that is embattled, so I originally planned to hide behind the scenes for a period of time, cool down the suspicion and jealousy of Emperor Deqing and the hundred officials, and also let them divert their attention......

Originally, according to my calculations, the Mongolian tribes fought back again, the Jianzhou Jurchen was about to move, the fierce backlash after the six departments of Nanjing were taken over, the clan chaos after the reduction of the feudal domain, and the abolition of the prince prince...... These things will break out at the same time around March next year, and the situation in the court will gradually get out of control due to various changes, and then it will be my best chance to turn from darkness to light and go to the front of the scene!

Now, the jealousy of the hundred officials and the suspicion of the Deqing Emperor have not cooled down at all, and the attention of the various factions in the imperial court is still on me, and the blockage of Caoyun is only a temporary difficulty, and it cannot be regarded as a major event that cannot be solved...... In this way, after I return to the temple, I will easily be besieged and calculated!

Therefore, Emperor Deqing's unexpected concessions and compromises this time, forcing me to go to the front of the curtain in advance, are certainly very beneficial in the short term, but in the long run, it is definitely not a good thing! And behind all this, there is a vague shadow of Zhou Shangjing! It was Zhou Shangjing who first proposed that I return to the temple, and the only person who could make Emperor Deqing suddenly decide to compromise was Zhou Shangjing...... But why did Zhou Shangjing do this? ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen's expression became more and more solemn.

He never dared to underestimate Zhou Shangjing's means and wisdom, and he would think about anything related to Zhou Shangjing repeatedly.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Junchen still couldn't guess Zhou Shangjing's purpose.

"Speaking of which, since I returned to the capital, I haven't had any private contact with Zhou Shangjing...... If it really doesn't work, I should also go to the Zhou Mansion to visit this old fox! ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly, his face full of helplessness.

When he deals with Zhou Shangjing, he always falls into the passivity of hindsight.

Compared with Zhou Shangjing's silent means of spring breeze and rain, Zhao Junchen is actually more suitable for the fierce and direct style of Emperor Deqing, Zhu Heyu, Zhu Hejian, Shen Changmao and others.

"Next, there is the candidate for the head of the household department, the head of the household department is my base camp, so the candidate for the head of the household department must be carefully considered, and the first thing must be obedient......"

Then, Zhao Junchen's thoughts turned to the next thing.

However, before Zhao Junchen's thoughts could make progress, there was a sudden commotion outside the study, as if someone wanted to forcibly break into the study, and immediately planned Zhao Junchen's thoughts.

It stands to reason that everyone in the Zhao Mansion understands that Zhao Junchen must not be disturbed at this time, even when walking, he must land on his toes, even if something big happens, the people of the Zhao Mansion will never dare to make such a noise, otherwise even if Zhao Junchen does not say anything, Fang Ru will severely punish the noisy people.

However, there was only one exception, and he was neither afraid of Zhao Junchen nor Fang Ru.

This person is naturally the mighty and unyielding, rich and unlewd divine doctor Zhang Decheng!

Therefore, after hearing the noise outside the room, Zhao Junchen was only slightly stunned and guessed the identity of the person who came.

Moreover, Zhao Junchen also guessed the reason why Zhang Decheng wanted to see him!

Obviously, Zhang Decheng also received the news that Wen Caining was belittled by Emperor Deqing.

During this period of time, for various reasons, Zhang Decheng and Wen Caining have had many opportunities to exchange medical skills, and their preferences are different, but they are both the leading medical masters of this era, so they naturally cherish each other and regard each other as confidants.

Now that Zhang Decheng heard that Wen Caining was not only driven out of the imperial hospital by Emperor Deqing, but also ordered that he should not practice medicine in the capital from now on, Zhang Decheng was naturally resentful and indignant!

Then, Zhang Decheng would think that the reason why Wen Caining ended up in such a situation today was largely because of Zhao Junchen's deliberate frame-making, so Zhang Decheng naturally wanted to find Zhao Junchen here to ask for an explanation.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and sighed.

And at the next moment when Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed, Zhang Decheng had already broken through the siege of everyone in the Zhao Mansion and broke into Zhao Junchen's study.

Seeing that Zhang Decheng's face was full of anger, Zhao Junchen stood up and took the lead in arching his hand and smiled: "Doctor Zhang came to me this time for the sake of Imperial Doctor Wen?" This is indeed a great thing, and I would like to congratulate Doctor Zhang in advance! ”

"A good thing?"

Zhang Decheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he couldn't react a little, and he forgot to vent his anger to Zhao Junchen.

Zhao Junchen nodded seriously and said, "Of course this is a good thing, Doctor Zhang, haven't you always wanted to run a medical school?" Now that I have prepared the land, the house, the materials, and the basic manpower, but I lack a vice president who has enough qualifications to assist Dr. Zhang, and now that Imperial Doctor Wen has been kicked out of the imperial hospital, isn't it the best candidate for the vice president of the medical school? Doctor Zhang, why did you find me here at this time? Why don't you hurry up and find Dr. Wen? This is the best chance to convince him! ”

Zhang Decheng couldn't help but be stunned again.

Then, after thinking seriously for a moment, the anger on Zhang Decheng's face quickly faded completely, and he didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

However, when he walked to the door of the study, Zhang Decheng suddenly stopped, turned his head to Zhao Junchen and said, "Lord Zhao, you don't only care about fighting for power and profit, conspiring and calculating, but also pay more attention to the people around you...... For example, Mrs. Ru! ”

After saying such a sentence without beginning or end, without waiting for Zhao Junchen to ask, Zhang Decheng left directly and went to find his confidant Wen Caining!
