Chapter 712. Before leaving Beijing (below).

……

……

After getting the conclusion, Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru both had gloomy faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It is normal for there to be eyeliner spies of various factions in the Zhao Mansion.

In fact, not only Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao and others arranged eyeliner and bought spies in Zhao Mansion, but Zhao Junchen also arranged eyeliner and bought spies by the side of Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing, and Shen Changmao.

Moreover, Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru already have a rough grasp of what the eyeliner in the Zhao Mansion is, but they are still kept for the time being due to various considerations.

But the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian planted eyeliner in the Zhao Mansion, and Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru had been unaware of it, and it was only now that they suddenly realized it.

Obviously, the spy of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian is better at hiding than the spies of other factions, and he actually concealed the eyes of Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru.

On top of that, this spy is far more dangerous than the others! Because the person behind this spy is Zhu Hejian, the ruthless and unscrupulous Seventh Prince! The other spies are just to spy on intelligence, but the spies of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian will be killed at any time!

Zhang Yuer's experience is a case in point!

If diamond powder is used to harm people, it is not only difficult to detect, but also difficult to prevent, although the effect is slow, but once the attack is incurable, this nature and the character of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian is simply a perfect match.

Therefore, when Zhu Hejian took revenge on Zhang Yuer this time, he still chose diamond powder, and fortunately he used diamond powder, Zhao Junchen knew how to treat it, otherwise Zhang Yuer would have to go back to heaven without surgery.

However, Zhu Hejian used a slow-acting diamond powder this time, what if he used the fast-acting Hedinghong next time? Zhu Hejian poisoned Zhang Yuer this time, if he poisons Zhao Junchen next time, how will he deal with it?

It was with this in mind that Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru's mood was full of seriousness.

*

Zhao Junchen's expression was deep, and he said slowly: "The effect of diamond powder is not obvious in the early stage, but if you take too much, the onset of stomach disease will be extremely violent, and it will be out of control...... Zhang Yu'er is only in pain three or five times a day, the pain is not strong, and the duration is not long, obviously because she does not take much...... In this way, I arranged for her to go to Jiangnan this time, and it was also a coincidence that I saved her life and freed her from the further poisoning of the Seven Princes, so her stomach disease was not particularly serious. ”

Fang Ru hesitated for a moment, but reminded: "But if you leave it alone, Zhang Yu'er's stomach disease will inevitably become more and more serious, and sooner or later she will follow in Zhao Shancai's footsteps...... Xianggong, are you going to save him? ”

Zhao Junchen didn't give a positive answer, but said: "It depends on her own performance, she still has a lot of uses, and she is still responsible for many of Nan Zhili's plans, so as long as she has no dissent, of course I won't let her lose her fragrance...... But now it is imperative to find out the spies arranged by the Seven Princes in our mansion as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be at ease. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen raised his head and instructed Fang Ru: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow for Shaanxi and Gansu, and in the period after I leave, you must find a way to find the spy of the Seventh Prince...... However, for the time being, this person may be useful in the future. ”

Fang Ru nodded and said, "Ru'er understands, don't worry, master." ”

The seventh prince, Zhu Hejian, planted spies in Zhao's mansion and concealed Zhao Junchen's poisoning of Zhang Yu'er, this account will naturally be settled in the future, but Zhao Junchen still needs to be forbearant at present.

Then, Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru discussed some specific arrangements after Zhao Junchen left Beijing, these things had already been prepared, and the discussion between the two was just to check and fill in the gaps.

After about a quarter of an hour of deliberation, there was a soft knock on the door outside the study, followed by Cui Qianxue's crisp voice.

"Xianggong, can I come in?"

After hearing Cui Qianxue's voice, Fang Ru slowly moved his steps and stood aside, while Zhao Junchen glanced at Fang Ru and said, "Come in." ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Cui Qianxue entered the study with a plate of pastries.

Seeing that Fang Ru was also in the study, knowing that Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru were discussing some very important matters, this made Cui Qianxue's mood a little complicated.

It stands to reason that Zhao Junchen's wife is Cui Qianxue, and the person who copes, bears, and shares with Zhao Junchen should also be Cui Qianxue, which is Cui Qianxue's responsibility as a wife.

It's a pity that limited to the lack of scheming, personality, knowledge, etc., Cui Qianxue is completely capable of this, although Zhao Junchen has always treated her very well, never neglected, and even almost spoiled, but Cui Qianxue always felt that she was useless and did not take the responsibility that his wife should bear.

Compared with her, Fang Ru, who is in the side room, is more like Zhao Junchen's wife, and can always share a lot of pressure for Zhao Junchen.

For Fang Ru, Cui Qianxue had no disgust.

Before officially marrying Zhao Junchen, Cui Qianxue had lived in the Zhao Mansion for a long time, and was taken care of by Fang Ru many times, and she was also very clear about Fang Ru's status in the Zhao Mansion, after Cui Qianxue married into the Zhao Mansion, Fang Ru has always been very well-behaved, and even took the initiative to hand over the management of the Zhao Mansion to Cui Qianxue, while Fang Ru was in charge of all kinds of things outside the Zhao Mansion.

It's a pity, and because of this, Cui Qianxue further discovered her own shortcomings - even with Chu Jiayi's assistance, Cui Qianxue still felt powerless when she managed the Zhao Mansion, and then thought that Fang Ru used to not only manage the Zhao Mansion, but also manage Zhao Junchen's various industries, and share many power and conspiracy matters for Zhao Junchen, and handle everything in an orderly manner, all of which reflects the gap between the two, and also reflects that Cui Qianxue's importance to Zhao Junchen is far less than that of Shang Ru.

As a result, Cui Qianxue inevitably had some sense of crisis.

During this period of time, Cui Qianxue has tried her best to deal with the affairs of the Zhao Mansion on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has shown her role as Zhao Junchen's wife as much as possible, which can be said to be hard work.

Every day at noon and evening, Cui Qianxue will personally make pastries, make tea and send it to Zhao Junchen's study, if Zhao Junchen is not particularly busy, Cui Qianxue will take the initiative to provoke some interesting topics, and will also massage Zhao Junchen's body, hoping that she can make Zhao Junchen more relaxed.

To tell the truth, the taste of Cui Qianxue's pastries is just average, and the topics provoked by Cui Qianxue are not so interesting, Cui Qianxue's massage methods are even a little bad, but all her efforts, Zhao Junchen sees it in his eyes, and his good impression and sense of identity with Cui Qianxue are getting stronger and stronger.

Therefore, after seeing Cui Qianxue enter the study, Zhao Junchen's smile was quite gentle.

On the other side, Fang Ru took the initiative to smile and said, "Master, he has been waiting for Madame's pastries." ”

And Cui Qianxue also nodded to Fang Ru and said: "The first pastry was not done, so it was delayed for some time, but the second pastry was done well, it was osmanthus cake, which is the most suitable for eating in autumn, Sister Fang, you will also taste it later." ”

Fang Ru and Cui Qianxue's attitude was a little unusually polite, they seemed to be like sisters, but in fact they were extremely distant.

Fang Ru always called Zhao Junchen "master" instead of "Xianggong" in front of Cui Qianxue, and Cui Qianxue always called Fang Ru "Sister Fang" very politely, obviously both of them had some knots, they both thought that the other party had encroached on their position, but at the same time, they were also very sensitive and didn't want to stimulate each other, so they were both cautious.

Regarding the relationship between Fang Ru and Cui Qianxue, Zhao Junchen naturally saw it, but he was helpless, women's minds are often more complex and unpredictable than the power struggle in the temple, Zhao Junchen will not easily meddle in this matter, I just hope that time can slowly dilute the knot between the two and make everything natural.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen just turned his gaze to the saucer in Cui Qianxue's hand, and said with a smile: "Oh? Is today's pastry osmanthus cake? I haven't eaten in a long time, and I just miss it. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, Cui Qianxue couldn't help but be overjoyed, feeling that she had guessed Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and hurriedly held the osmanthus cake in front of Zhao Junchen, and said: "I have to wait for lunch for a while, Xianggong will eat a few pastries to cushion his stomach first!" ”

In fact, Zhao Junchen usually doesn't like to eat more snacks, and satiety will affect the sharpness of the brain, but Zhao Junchen doesn't want to discourage Cui Qianxue's enthusiasm, so he hasn't explained this.

At this time, Zhao Junchen just smiled and nodded, then picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, and nodded approvingly after tasting it: "The craftsmanship has improved greatly, and the taste is getting better and better!" ”

Cui Qianxue smiled sweetly, feeling happier and happier in her heart, only feeling that her efforts were not in vain.

In fact, Cui Qianxue's osmanthus cake is sweeter than her smile, a little too much, and it does not meet Zhao Junchen's taste, but Zhao Junchen still didn't say it, but ate another piece, and then praised it again, but it made Cui Qianxue's heart full of joy.

On the other side, seeing the interaction between Zhao Junchen and Cui Qianxue, Fang Ru suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

After eating three pastries in a row, Zhao Junchen suddenly said, "Qianxue, there is something I have to let you know." ”

At this time, Cui Qianxue was making tea for Zhao Junchen, raised her head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Junchen sighed and said: "Because of Your Majesty's will, I will leave the capital for a while soon, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back until three or four months later." ”

Unlike Fang Ru, Cui Qianxue never knew about Zhao Junchen's departure from Beijing, and after she heard the news, the plain hand who was making tea couldn't help but tremble slightly, and splashed the tea a little.

It has been less than ten days since Cui Qianxue married into the Zhao Mansion, and it was just when she was newly married to Yan'er, but Zhao Junchen was suddenly leaving the capital, and it was obviously impossible to take her with her, which was naturally not good news for Cui Qianxue.

However, Cui Qianxue finally knew the truth that business was important, so she just reluctantly asked, "Leaving Beijing?" Where is Xianggong going? ”

Zhao Junchen hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to go to Shanxi and Shaanxi and Gansu, and there are some problems with the disaster relief money and grain of the imperial court, and I must deal with them personally." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, Cui Qianxue couldn't help but turn pale, full of worry, and said: "Soon, the fire will be sifted into the Kou, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu are all dangerous places, how can the prime minister go in person!" ”

Zhao Junchen's face was still gentle, and he said with relief: "Don't worry, I will not approach the warring areas, and will only stay in Jeju, Pingyang, and Hanzhong." These state capitals are located at the southern end of Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi, and there are generally no Mongolian cavalry, and His Majesty has also sent 200 elite forbidden troops to protect them, and I myself will bring some family members who are proficient in martial arts to accompany me, and there will be no accidents. ”

Then, Zhao Junchen spent a lot of time and tongue before he stopped Cui Qianxue's worries a little.

In fact, Cui Qianxue originally wanted to ask her grandfather Cui Mian to come forward and let Emperor Deqing take back her fate.

*

It seems that because Zhao Junchen is about to leave Beijing, Cui Qianxue has been staying in the study to talk to Zhao Junchen this day, and there is a lot of reluctance and advice in her words.

Soon, the time was already noon, and seeing that it was lunch time, Zhao Junchen was about to lead Cui Qianxue and Fang Ru's two daughters to dinner, but Xu Qingyan suddenly pushed the door in and reported to Zhao Junchen: "Young master, there is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu outside the door who asks to see him, named Hong Gaogong. ”

Hearing the report, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned and asked, "Hong Gaogong?" I don't know! What are the thousands of households of Jinyiwei coming to see me? ”

Xu Qingyan explained: "According to this Hong Qianhu, His Majesty arranged for two hundred elite forbidden troops to escort the young master all the way to Shaanxi and Gansu, and these two hundred forbidden troops will be led by him, so he came to listen to the young master's orders. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled again, and said, "Choose to meet me at this time, I'm afraid he still plans to have lunch with me, right?" This person...... The skin is thick enough. ”

Generally speaking, when a lower official visits Shangguan in private, he will never choose this time at noon, because at this time, Shangguan often has to have lunch, and then has a lunch break, I am afraid that he does not want others to disturb him, and chooses to visit Shangguan at noon, either because he does not understand the rules, or he wants to eat with Shangguan and take the opportunity to get closer.

This Hong Gaogong can become a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, how can he be a person who doesn't understand the rules of officialdom? Obviously, he wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Zhao Junchen.

However, Zhao Junchen went to Shanxi and Shaanxi and Gansu this time, and he needed Hong Gaogong's support many times, so he couldn't be neglected.

So, after Zhao Junchen pondered for a while, he said to Fang Ru and Cui Qianxue apologetically: "Originally, I wanted to spend a while with you and dine with you, but now I'm afraid it won't work." ”
