After seeing the crown prince Zhu Heyu, Emperor Deqing's expression did not appear abnormal, and he was even more kind than usual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This note...... Well written. After Emperor Deqing read the recital, he praised it with a rare opening: "I hope you have thought of all the places you want to reflect, and your self-reflection is also more profound...... However, everything in this recital is your own thoughts and books? Or is it Zhao Shancai's guidance? ”

The crown prince Zhu Heyu remembered Zhao Shancai's repeated advice, and knew that at this time, everything should be focused on regaining the trust of Emperor Deqing, so his expression was always submissive, and he said: "Since it is reflection and self-reflection, then you can rely on yourself, and you don't dare to fake others. ”

After hearing the answer of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, a trace of hesitation seemed to flash in Emperor Deqing's eyes.

But in the next moment, Emperor Deqing had already returned to his usual depth, and said slowly: "Very good, you can deeply reflect on your mistakes, I am very relieved!" You are now the prince and the prince in the future, everyone is staring at your every move with wide eyes, your words will lead to countless conjectures, every decision may affect the fate of the world, and where can you mess with your own temperament? Therefore, you must guard against arrogance and rashness in the future, and think twice before doing anything, otherwise how can I rest assured that the country will be in your hands? ”

The crown prince Zhu and Yu bowed their heads to listen to the training and said: "What my father taught is that the sons and daughters should remember in their hearts! ”

Emperor Deqing nodded, seemingly satisfied with the attitude of the crown prince Zhu Heyu: "I hope you remember the lesson of this time and don't do it again in the future...... Well, from tomorrow, you will continue to participate in the court meeting, the situation in the temple has been relatively stable during this time, although you missed the ten days of the court meeting, but you did not delay too many things. ”

After hearing Emperor Deqing's instructions, a trace of joy flashed on the face of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, and he thought that this matter was finally over, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you, father!" In the future, the sons must be cautious and think before deciding, and they will definitely not embarrass their father again. ”

Emperor Deqing still nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly the topic changed, as if he had thought of something by chance, and said: "By the way, Lao Qi's health has improved a lot recently, and he is almost cured." I know that you and Lao Qi have always had the best relationship, but you have been thinking about it behind closed doors in the East Palace for a while, and you have not had a chance to visit him, so when you leave the palace today, go and see him as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for you two brothers to meet again in the future. ”

The crown prince Zhu Heyu was slightly stunned and asked, "The meaning of the father, the sons and daughters don't understand." ”

Emperor Deqing sighed and said, "You also understand the rules of my dynasty!" When the princes reach adulthood, they will be canonized on the throne, stationed in the fiefdom, and stay away from the center of the capital from now on! Lao Qi has been an adult for a long time, but his health has not been good, he can't stand the fatigue of the carriage and horses, and there is no imperial doctor to serve him at any time after leaving the capital, I am worried that he will have an accident, so this matter has been delayed! But now, Lao Qi's health has improved greatly, so this matter can't be delayed any longer...... A few days ago, Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, also submitted a note, hoping that I would be crowned the throne and fief for the Seventh Prince, and I have been thinking about this matter during this time. ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing's explanation, Zhu Heyu couldn't help but be stunned again.

He and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian are siblings, and they have always had a harmonious relationship, plus Zhu Heyu is still a little worried about Zhu Hejian's physical condition, so after hesitating for a moment, the crown prince Zhu Heyu still couldn't help but say: "According to Erchen, the seventh brother's health is just improving, in order to prevent the recurrence of the condition, it is better to let him stay in the capital for a while...... As for the canonization of the throne, you can wait until the year later, and there is no need to be so anxious, after all, according to the convention, the princes have always been canonized after the end of the year. ”

After listening to what the crown prince Zhu Heyu said, a trace of disappointment flashed in Emperor Deqing's eyes, and he secretly sighed in his heart, and he completely made up his mind - Zhu Heyu is really not a qualified prince!

Suddenly talking about the matter of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian was a test for the crown prince Zhu Heyu by Emperor Deqing.

Today, the crown prince Zhu Heyu should know very well in his heart that he not only made bad friends with several powerful ministers in the court, but also had a good relationship with Emperor Deqing, and he did several errands one after another, and the position of the prince has already shown signs of instability!

On the other hand, the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian is from a noble background, the age is also appropriate, and he has always stayed in the center of the capital, and his reputation is not too far from that of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, if the position of the prince Zhu Heyu is shaken, then the seventh prince Zhu Hejian is the most likely successor!

In this case, if the crown prince Zhu and Yu are a little politically sensitive, they should try their best to eliminate all hidden dangers and let the seventh prince Zhu and Yu leave the capital as soon as possible!

However, because of the so-called "brotherhood", the crown prince Zhu and Yu relented when they shouldn't have been soft-hearted, and they didn't notice Emperor Deqing's verbal hints at all, but hoped that the seventh prince Zhu Hejian would continue to stay in the capital......

With such political sensitivity, Emperor Deqing was naturally disappointed.

In fact, for the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Emperor Deqing still has some father-son feelings after all, although he already has the idea of changing the prince in his heart, but after all, he is a little hesitant, and today's conversation is the last test of Emperor Deqing to the prince Zhu and Yu!

It's a pity that the performance of the crown prince Zhu and Yu still disappointed Emperor Deqing.

So, Emperor Deqing finally made up his mind!

After making the decision, Emperor Deqing was in a complicated mood, with some regrets, some sighs, and some relaxation.

But soon, Emperor Deqing's mood had regained its calm.

Then, after Emperor Deqing took a deep look at the crown prince Zhu Heyu, he suddenly spoke: "I heard that when I was touring the south, you and the old Huang Yourong of the former cabinet stayed in the capital, and there were many conflicts, and in the end, it was after the seventh brother gave you advice that you finally suppressed Huang Yourong, is there such a thing?" ”

After hearing Emperor Deqing's inquiry, the crown prince Zhu and Yu were a little hesitant, he originally planned to hide this matter.

But Emperor Deqing had now received the news, and the crown prince Zhu and Yu didn't dare to force a quibble, so he finally nodded and admitted: "During that time, the seventh brother did help a little. ”

Emperor Deqing's eyes flashed, and he said, "Oh? It's fun! Tell me more about what was going on at that time! ”

On the second day, the life rules of the hundred officials were still the same, they went to the palace to participate in the court meeting, went to their respective yamen to handle official business after the dispersal of the court, returned to their respective mansions to eat and rest at noon, and then went to the yamen again in the afternoon.

The same is true for Zhao Junchen.

When the time was approaching noon, Zhao Junchen left the household yamen and returned to Zhao's mansion in a sedan chair.

The situation in the imperial court has been relatively stable in the past few days, but Zhao Junchen still did not take it lightly, sitting in a sedan chair and secretly thinking about his next plan.

"Not long after, Liang Fuchen will return to the capital to take up his post, and when he is approaching 'Jingcha', it is a variable that needs to be paid attention to secretly......"

"Calculate the time, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan should have arrived in Nanzhili, but unfortunately they are thousands of miles away, and I don't know if the plan is smooth, I just hope that my secret arrangements can play a role, otherwise it will add a lot of trouble......"

"There is also the movement of the Seventh Prince, Zhu Hejian...... Emperor Deqing's attitude during this time was quite suspicious......"

"In addition, the two daughters of the Zhao family, Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi, have now learned all the court etiquette, and it's time to send them to the palace......"

Lin Lin is always in a lot of thoughts.

Zhao Junchen is now in a high position, holding great power, and is ambitious, it is difficult to have leisure on weekdays, and there are countless big and small things that he needs to seriously consider, prepare secretly, and deal with carefully at any time.

And just as Zhao Junchen was secretly thinking, the sedan chair that was moving forward suddenly paused slightly, and then he heard Xu Qingyan's voice coming from outside the sedan chair.

"Young master, someone stopped the sedan chair."

"Who is it?" Zhao Junchen frowned slightly and asked.

Xu Qingyan replied: "It's Zhao Shancai's apprentice, he said that Zhao Shancai is waiting for the young master in a teahouse not far away, and wants to meet and talk with the young master in secret." ”

"Zhao Shancai ......" Gently reading the name, Zhao Junchen's expression was a little complicated, and then sighed lightly, and said: "Since it is Zhao Shancai, then I will see it, get off the sedan chair!" ”

With Zhao Junchen's order, the sedan chair fell to the ground, and Xu Qingyan hurriedly opened the sedan curtain for Zhao Junchen.

After Zhao Junchen stepped out of the sedan chair, he looked up and found a young man dressed as a scholar standing not far away, it was Zhao Shancai's scholar Zhao Mu!

"I remember...... Your name is Zhao Mu, right? Walking in front of the scholar Zhao Mu, Zhao Junchen asked, "Where is Zhao Shancai?" Lead me to him. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's question, scholar Zhao Mu was slightly startled.

He didn't expect Zhao Junchen to remember the name of his little person, which shows how much Zhao Junchen attaches importance to Zhao Shancai.

However, Zhao Mu has only followed Zhao Shan for many years, and he has also honed some city government scheming, so he didn't show any abnormality, just raised his hand sideways, and said softly: "My young master is in the Liu family teahouse not far away, Lord Zhao, please come with me." ”

After speaking, Zhao Mu led the way first, and Zhao Junchen followed behind.

On the way, Zhao Junchen asked Zhao Mu: "I heard that Zhao Shan's physical condition has been very bad recently, but now he has improved?" ”

Zhao Mu's face turned gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "The young master's physical condition is very bad...... As for the specific situation, Lord Zhao, you will understand after meeting the young master. ”

Liu's teahouse is not far away, and it only takes two sentences to arrive.

After entering the Liujia teahouse, Zhao Junchen swept his eyes and found that the teahouse was empty, and there were no other guests, it seemed that the entire teahouse was covered by Zhao Shancai.

Then, after more than a month, Zhao Junchen met Zhao Shancai again.

At this time, Zhao Shancai was sitting in the corner of the teahouse, his body was already extremely thin, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was skin and bones; The body is paralyzed and weak, so soft against the wall, it seems that he doesn't even have the strength to straighten his waist, and a gust of wind can blow it down; His cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, his face was sallow and almost inhuman, and his lips were purple and black.

Just by taking a look from afar, you can clearly perceive the gray and dead air on Zhao Shancai's body! Anyone who sees such an image will think that the person in front of him will not live long!

Although he had already been mentally prepared, after seeing Zhao Shancai's image, Zhao Junchen still had a heart beat! It took a long time to react, and the person in front of him was Zhao Shancai!

The former beautiful son has become like this!

After a moment of silence, Zhao Junchen walked towards Zhao Shancai.

After getting closer, Zhao Junchen found that Zhao Shancai still had not changed - his eyes were still bright and deep!

On the other side, after seeing Zhao Junchen approaching, Zhao Shancai's pale face squeezed out a smile, and said slowly in a weak voice: "Shancai has been unwell recently, and he can't visit Lord Zhao in person, and he has to bother Lord Zhao to move to see each other, it's really rude, I hope Lord Zhao must forgive me one or two!" ”

Zhao Junchen couldn't help but sigh lightly, came to sit down in front of Zhao Shancai, and then said, "You...... It's already like this, it's better to rest more, so why bother with hard work and planning? Why bother? ”

Zhao Shancai's voice was weak and weak, but his expression was indifferent, as if he had seen through life and death, and said: "It seems that my current situation, there will be time to rest after a long sleep soon, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that there is still strength to spare, and it is better to spend more effort, otherwise there will be no chance in the future!" ”

Zhao Junchen sighed again, his expression was full of regret, and said: "I knew that your condition was serious, but I didn't expect it to be so serious...... There are only a few people who can make me look at them, and you are one of them, if you are not there in the future...... It would be a shame to be. ”

Zhao Shancai seemed to be smiling, and said slowly: "Oh? Isn't Lord Zhao aware of my current physical condition? With Lord Zhao's hands and eyes, what can be hidden from Lord Zhao in this capital? What's more, Doctor Zhang, who treated me, has always lived in Lord Zhao's mansion...... After Lord Zhao saw me like this, I am afraid that he was more glad in his heart, right? After all, I will never cause trouble to Lord Zhao again. ”

Saying that, without waiting for Zhao Junchen to refute, Zhao Shancai had already continued: "What's more, since I chose the direction of my own path, I have thought of today's possibilities...... After all, there are too many people who don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to gain a firm foothold, and after I assisted His Royal Highness the Prince, I blocked other people's roads, and it was a matter of course that I was plotted by others. ”

After hearing Zhao Shancai's words, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned in his heart.

He originally thought that Zhao Shancai did not realize the real reason for his illness, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shancai had already seen through the truth and guessed that someone was assassinating him.

However, Zhao Junchen still pretended to be confused in the end and asked, "Oh? Could it be that Shancai's illness was assassinated? But who made the assassination, can Shan Cai speculate in his heart? ”

Zhao Shancai was still smiling, and said, "Lord Zhao really doesn't know? The people who have the reason and ability to assassinate me are nothing more than two people from top to bottom! ”

"Who?" Zhao Junchen asked.

"Lord Zhao, you...... and the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian! ”

Zhao Shancai's expression was calm and said indifferently.

PS: Because of family reasons, bugs have more time from Monday to Thursday, but they don't have much leisure from Friday to Sunday. Originally, I was going to save some manuscripts from Monday to Thursday, and then break out when there were more readers on the weekend, who would have thought that his laziness was terminally ill, and he had no intention of coding words after having a manuscript in his hand.

Therefore, the worm decided not to save the manuscript, and wrote as many as he sent every day, of course, it was still at least 4,000 words a day.

Above, there will be a change around the early hours of this morning!
