Vaguely guessing something, Zhao Junchen slowly asked, "Oh?" I don't know what it is, even His Highness will be suspicious? ”
Zhu Hejian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked softly: "Father, he will be on a southern tour in a few days, and as the regulations of the southern tour are getting bigger and bigger, I am afraid that most of the important ministers in the court will follow, so in the eyes of Lord Zhao, during the father's southern tour, who will guard the capital and act as the national government?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Hejian smiled slightly, and said: "As far as I know, my father and the emperor have often asked the prince about his views on the handling of various state affairs these days, which is rarely seen before.

Zhao Junchen didn't care, and said: "Your Majesty left Beijing, the crown prince is in charge of the country, it is a matter of course, although His Royal Highness the crown prince is still inexperienced and his reputation is slightly insufficient, but if there is an old minister to assist, there will be no problem." ”
Zhu Hejian nodded and said: "That's true, if there is the help of Lord Zhou, then it is foolproof, but Lord Zhao is afraid that he doesn't know yet, right?" The day before yesterday, his father summoned the three cabinet elders to discuss state affairs, and when he talked about the southern tour, he asked the three cabinet elders who were willing to go south with him? Who wants to assist the prince in guarding the capital? Originally, it was just a casual remark, because Lord Shoufu Zhou was highly respected, and he was a natural candidate, and the two elders of Shen and Huang would not fight with him, but what no one expected was that Lord Shoufu agreed to tour the south with His Majesty, but His Majesty's words had already been spoken, and he could only agree, but in this way, the candidate to assist the prince and the elder of the country could only choose between Huang Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao. ”
After a pause, the smile on Zhu Hejian's face suddenly became a little meaningful, and he glanced deeply at Zhao Junchen, whose face had changed slightly, and said with a light smile: "I just don't know, among Huang Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao, who will assist the prince at that time?" If they are to assist the crown prince, I wonder if they can be as comprehensive and foolproof as Lord Shoufu? However, after the prince got the news, he was full of confidence. What do you think of this, Lord Zhao?"
After the words fell, Zhu Hejian's expression was as humble and polite as ever, but before Zhao Junchen could reply, he nodded and nodded to Zhao Junchen, and then turned around and left.
Zhao Junchen's face was a little dark, and he watched Zhu Hejian walk towards Zhu Hejian's location, and then looked at the two brothers standing together, whispering something to each other, as if Zhu Hejian was explaining to Zhu Hepu what happened before and after meeting Zhao Junchen just now.
Maybe it happened in front of Zhu Hepu's eyes, maybe Zhu Hepu's trust in Zhu Hejian was beyond imagination, looking at Zhu Hepu's god, he didn't have the slightest doubt, just a little complaining, it seemed that he didn't want Zhu Hejian and Zhao Junchen to have too much contact "It's really a brother and a brother and a brother, since that's the case, it's a ...... to watch it slowly", seeing such a scene, Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled, shook his head gently, muttered to himself, and also turned to leave.
The reason why Zhao Junchen gave Zhu Hejian so many valuable medicinal materials was to create an opportunity for the two sides to get in touch and take the opportunity to find out Zhu Hejian's true intentions.
And Zhu Hejian obviously understood what Zhao Junchen meant, and today he took the opportunity to thank him, almost under the nose of the crown prince Zhu Hepu, there was almost nothing to hide, to show Zhao Junchen his true attitude, and to Zhao Junchen to reveal an extremely important news.
During Emperor Deqing's southern tour, the crown prince Zhu and Pu supervised Guoguang as an assistant cabinet minister, but it was not Zhou Shangjing! It's one of Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong!
In this way, of course, it is not good, with Zhu Hepu's xìngzi, what will he do during Emperor Deqing's southern tour, Zhao Junchen does not need to use too many brains, he can think that he must take the opportunity to suppress the forces of the various factions in the DPRK and China, and will never let the factions in the DPRK and China have a better time. It may even take the opportunity to collect the incriminating evidence of Zhao Junchen and others.
If it is assisted by Zhou Shangjing, then Zhao Junchen is naturally not worried, because the crown prince Zhu Hepu will definitely not be able to fight Zhou Shangjing. Moreover, in recent years, in order to avoid too much suspicion from Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing has even consciously suppressed the expansion of the power of his own factions, and he will not take advantage of Zhao Junchen and others to accompany him on his southern tour.
However, only Zhou Shangjing has such ability, replaced by Shen and Huang, not to mention whether they can suppress the prince Zhu Hepu alone, for the vision of these two people and their ability to forbear, Zhao Junchen will first believe it, if it is on the occasion of Emperor Deqing's southern tour, these two people take the opportunity to expand their power, and then cause a backlash from other factions, under the chaos, I am afraid that it will make the prince Zhu and Pu Yuwen benefit.
By the way, because of the news brought by Zhu Hejian, Zhao Junchen also guessed the purpose of Huang Yourong's banquet for himself, Shen Changmao, Zhou Shangjing and other important ministers of the court.
Obviously, for negotiations.
After the lantern viewing and palace banquet, when Zhao Junchen left the Forbidden City, it was dark and it was late.
When Zhao Junchen entered the palace, he came with dozens of carriages, but when he left, he only brought four red lanterns.
These four red lanterns were given by Emperor Deqing when appreciating the lanterns, and there are four golden characters written by Emperor Deqing in his own book, which are "loyalty", "virtuous", "good", and what Zhao Junchen has done since he entered the court as an official, which can be described as extremely ironic.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen can make him happy and make him go well, which is enough to deserve these four words. It's just that when Emperor Deqing gave these four lanterns to Zhao Junchen, the face of the crown prince Zhu Heyan was extremely weird, if it wasn't for Emperor Deqing's birthday, I was afraid that he would have to collide in public, right?
This birthday ceremony, from front to back, Zhao Junchen can be said to be in the limelight, and in front of hundreds of officials, Zhao Junchen also showed just the right amount of pride.
It's just that when Zhao Junchen left the noon gate in a sedan chair, the smug happiness of the gods was completely gone, but his face was expressionless, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was contemplating something.
Zhao Junchen was worried, not because of the news that Zhu Hejian told him, now there is still a lot of time before Emperor Deqing's southern tour, which is enough for Zhao Junchen to do a lot of things, even if the crown prince is in charge of the country in the end, Shen Huang is the auxiliary government, and Zhao Junchen has a way to deal with it.
What really worries Zhao Junchen is such an important news, and he still needs Zhu Hejian to reveal to him If there is no Zhu Hejian, Zhao Junchen will not only be concealed for a long time.
Sitting in Zhao Junchen's current position, he is not afraid of accidents, even if it is a big thing, he can always find a solution, but he is most afraid that after something happens, he will be aware of it or even unconscious.
And now, Zhao Junchen found that he had fallen into such a dangerous situation.
Seeing that the sedan chair was far away from the palace, Zhao Junchen lifted the sedan curtain and greeted Xu Qingyan who was following him: "Qingyan, I have something to ask you." ”
Seeing that Zhao Junchen finally spoke, Xu Qingyan hurriedly approached and asked, "Young Master, do you have something to order?" ”
As Zhao Junchen's side, Zhao Junchen had a lot of thoughts between his eyebrows, and Xu Qingyan saw it when Zhao Junchen left the palace, so he didn't dare to talk to Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen nodded and asked, "Let me ask you, a few days ago, I asked you to give the silver to those eunuchs in charge of the palace, and you gave them away?" ”
Xu Qingyan nodded again and again, and said: "Young master, I naturally gave a full 150,000 taels of what you personally told, and all of them were sent out, and those eunuchs in charge of the palace, each of the powerful and powerful was no less than 10,000 taels, and the less powerful were low, and there were also 20,000 or 3,000 taels of silver.
Zhao Junchen frowned slightly: "Did they all accept it happily?" When you gave the money, did you say that I meant? ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen ask Xu Qingyan like this, he couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Those eunuchs are greedy for money, let's send silver, they naturally accepted it unceremoniously, and we are sending silver, not throwing silver, naturally we also told them that it is the young master's mind, and they also praise the young master, you are generous." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qingyan asked, "What happened to the young master?" ”
Zhao Junchen's brows furrowed tighter, and he said slowly: "The day before yesterday, His Majesty summoned the three pavilion elders to discuss the matter of the southern tour, and finally there were some changes, although such changes were sudden, but it was not a big secret, and I didn't even get the news. ”
Speaking of which, Zhao Junchen's god sè became a little yīn heavy.
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan was furious, snorted heavily, gritted his teeth and asked, "Young master, you mean that those eunuchs didn't do anything after taking the silver?" ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, His Majesty summoned the three elders, and the eunuchs in charge of the palace are afraid that they are staring, as long as they can get a little bit of news, they can bring them a large amount of silver, if only one or two eunuchs did not tell us the news, then it can be said that someone took the silver and did not do anything, but now all the eunuchs have not told us the news, especially the close eunuch Zhang De next to His Majesty, we don't know how much silver we fed him, And he has always had a good relationship with us, but even he didn't give us such news, so I'm afraid things won't be so simple. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with contemplation, and he felt that this matter was more and more intriguing.
Since Zhao Junchen returned to Beijing, he has been trying his best to improve relations with the eunuchs in the palace, originally Zhao Junchen was planning to start from Liu Qing, the eunuch in charge of the inner library, and now most of the eunuchs in charge of the palace are trained by Liu Qing, as long as he has a good relationship with Liu Qing, it is equivalent to having a good relationship with the entire eunuch force.
It's a pity that Zhao Junchen has always wanted to meet Liu Qing, but Liu Qing is old and has been recuperating from illness, and this meeting has been dragging on, but the gifts and silver that Zhao Junchen gave Liu Qing, Liu Qing all laughed at them, and asked someone to tell Zhao Junchen that as long as Zhao Junchen can ensure the interests of the eunuchs in the palace, the eunuch forces in the palace will not be embarrassed by him.
And Zhao Junchen also did exactly this, not only allowing those eunuchs in charge of the palace to insert people into the inner treasury, but also distributing the "bonus silver" to the eunuchs in charge every year. "It's 10 percent more than before. When the pancreas were monopolized by the inner library, Zhao Junchen even distributed the benefits of the pancreatic workshop to the eunuchs in the palace.
In this way, after the eunuch forces in the palace were guaranteed benefits, not only were they no longer embarrassed by Zhao Junchen, but they also reciprocated. And today, when Zhao Junchen presented a congratulatory gift to Emperor Deqing, those eunuchs in the palace also fully cooperated, without the slightest hostility.
But in this case, why did they deliberately hide the news from Zhao Junchen that Zhou Shangjing was going to accompany him on the southern tour?
Thinking of the conversation with Zhang Xiu, the eunuch in charge of the Yangxin Palace, Zhang Xiu's completely different evaluations of Zhu Hepu and Zhu Hejian, Zhao Junchen's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he thought of a seemingly impossible conclusion.
"Could it be that they want Zhu Hejian to tell me the news in person?"
