Zhao Junchen's acting skills are not as natural and just right as Fang Ru, this kind of thing actually needs talent the most. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) but after these days of officialdom training, Zhao Junchen can already think one thing in his heart and another on his face, and lie again and again without changing his face.
Therefore, after hearing Emperor Deqing's words of relief, Zhao Junchen looked calm, but anyone could see the moving and moving of the gods, and after being pressed by Emperor Deqing and sitting on his head, Zhao Junchen's voice was full of weakness and self-blame, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has caused you trouble, you just leave the palace like this, if it spreads out, ......,"
Emperor Deqing stretched out his hand and waved Zhao Junchen's words, and his voice was relaxed: "I already know about your illness, and it is precisely because of state affairs that I have become ill and my mental strength and vitality have been depleted. ”
While speaking, Emperor Deqing suddenly sighed and said: "However, you have caused me some trouble, but it is true, now because you suddenly fell ill, I have no confidant to entrust in the preparation of this southern tour, several pavilion elders have recommended some candidates, and the prince also has his own candidates, but each has its own shortcomings, which is not as reassuring as you." ”
Emperor Deqing was full of emotion, but the afterglow in his eyes was firmly fixed on Zhao Junchen's reaction.
Although Zhao Junchen was weak, he was resolute, he didn't think about it, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the minister's body is not in the way, as long as you recuperate for a day or two, you can recover, it is rare that the treasury is abundant now, Your Majesty has very high expectations for this southern tour, and the others do not know Your Majesty's thoughts, I am afraid that it is difficult to satisfy Your Majesty, it is not that the minister is arrogant, but in addition to the minister, I am afraid that there is no other suitable candidate." Therefore, the arrangement of this southern tour is also requested to be handed over to His Majesty, and the ministers will never let His Majesty down. ”
While speaking, Zhao Junchen seemed to want to prove that he was in good health, and he forced himself to get up, but unsurprisingly, he fell on Chuáng's head again.
And this kind of action seems to have consumed the last remaining trace of Zhao Junchen's body, and his body was unable to move, and on his pale face, the guilt and anxiety became more and more obvious.
Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Emperor Deqing had not yet made a statement, but Fang Ru, who came in with Emperor Deqing, couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice again, his eyes were red and he looked at Zhao Junchen's self-struggling appearance, his eyes were full of distress, and he wanted to stop it, but after glancing at Emperor Deqing, he bit his teeth lightly, and hesitated and did not act.
Fang Ru's attitude attracted the attention of Emperor Deqing, but it also reminded Emperor Deqing of Fang Ru's previous words: "Master, he has been busy with government affairs these days, and when he reviews the excerpts, he often can't rest until the time of the child, and even with the food yù is also quite sluggish, and the daily food, compared to the past, is very little, although the concubine has the heart to advise, but the lord just can't listen to it, only say that now the court's finances are getting wider, the silver is not easy to come by, and now the expenses are very different, and you have to take good care of your majesty before you go to ......"
The two are connected, even if Emperor Deqing still has some doubts about Zhao Junchen's sudden illness, but he still can't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
patted Zhao Junchen on the shoulder again, and Emperor Deqing said slowly: "Junchen, since the treasury is abundant now, and all kinds of money are coming in and out, why are you keeping an eye on it so closely? Didn't you ever say to me, "Don't be deaf or dumb, don't be a family?" Why is it necessary to be so clear-eyed now? I know that a few days ago you almost pushed the inner court into a desperate situation for the sake of some cloth and silk. ”
Zhao Junchen sighed, his tone became weaker and weaker, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then finally spoke: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the treasury is now rich in money that the minister must keep an eye on it. The minister has been pondering this matter these days, and even the location has been chosen, just in Rehe, where the summer is mild and rainy, the autumn is cool and pleasant, and it is not far from the capital, it is a rare summer resort, but this kind of construction, before and after the cost is very great, the minister has the trust of His Majesty, and the treasury is in charge of both sides, so it is natural to prepare early. Now I can keep an extra cent of silver, and when the summer place is built in the future, the available silver can also be a little more generous, in short, it is necessary to satisfy His Majesty. ”
Zhao Junchen's answer was obviously unexpected by Emperor Deqing.
He didn't expect that Zhao Junchen's purpose was like this.
After being silent for a while, Emperor Deqing did not answer, but changed the topic and said slowly: "I came to see you this time and brought Wen Caining with me, Imperial Doctor Wen's medical skills have always been the head of the Tai Hospital, and I am also relieved that he will diagnose you for you." ”
While speaking, Emperor Deqing turned his head and instructed Wen Caining: "Imperial Doctor Wen, you come to diagnose Junchen and see what is going on with Junchen's body." ”
Wen Caining nodded, came to his head, and stretched out his hand to check Zhao Junchen's pulse.
However, as soon as his finger was on Zhao Junchen's wrist, Wen Caining couldn't help but be stunned.
Without him, Zhao Junchen's arms were too cold.
This is because, since the appearance of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen pressed a jade stone under his armpit, and although this method can control the pulse, it also hinders blood circulation, and for a longer time, the body temperature in the arm will decrease.
Modifying the pulse in this way lowers body temperature and stiffens the skin, which is the biggest flaw.
It's just that, as Fang Ru said, such a ninth-rate small method can't hide from the barefoot doctors who walk among the people, but it is easy to hide from the imperial doctors who have always only diagnosed diseases for dignitaries and dignitaries.
Therefore, although Wen Caining felt strange, he couldn't say why, he could only blame it on the reason for the weakness and cold, pressed the doubts in his heart, and continued to diagnose Zhao Junchen.
After the pulse diagnosis, Wen Caining asked Zhao Junchen about his physical condition and feelings, and finally reported to Emperor Deqing with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao's pulse is indeed strange, extremely weak, and comes and goes, but combined with Lord Zhao's description, it should be a disease of overwork and physical injury, and he needs to recuperate." ”
With Wen Caining's report, the last trace of doubt left in Emperor Deqing's heart was finally completely eliminated.
But Zhao Junchen was anxious, and asked Wen Caining: "I don't know how long it will take to recover?" It's an eventful time, and my body can't be delayed. ”
Listening to Zhao Junchen's impatient question, Emperor Deqing sighed and patted Zhao Junchen's shoulder and said: "Junchen, although you are unlucky, but birth, old age, sickness and death, it is always unsatisfactory, you can rest assured that you will recuperate, on the side of the household, I will not let others interfere, you can rest assured, but the arrangements of the southern tour, I am afraid that others will be responsible." ”
Seeing that Zhao Junchen seemed to be a little unwilling, Emperor Deqing sighed lightly again.
After no longer doubting in his heart, thinking of Zhao Junchen's loyalty, Emperor Deqing suddenly said: "Junchen, these days have suffered you, not only the court's money arrangement, but also the intrigue in the temple, is what the prince has done these days, I'm afraid it will also make you uneasy, right?" ”
Zhao Junchen's face was shocked, and after hesitating for a moment, he was silent.
Emperor Deqing said slowly: "I am here, I will leave you a truth, as long as you do things for me with your heart, as long as I am still in power, this temple will not make people embarrassed with you." ”
"As long as you are faithful to me, as long as I am still in power, this temple will not make people embarrassed you."
Not long ago, after Emperor Deqing said this, he left.
Up and down the Zhao Mansion, now most of them went to send Emperor Deqing away, although Zhao Junchen had the heart to send him off, but was stopped by Emperor Deqing.
At this time, Zhao Junchen was sitting on his head, thinking about Emperor Deqing's promise in his heart, and his expression seemed to be happy and worried.
This time, Emperor Deqing paid a visit, and Zhao Junchen and Emperor Deqing each got what they wanted.
Emperor Deqing confirmed Zhao Junchen's "illness." And Zhao Junchen got this guarantee from Emperor Deqing.
In other words, Zhao Junchen finally understood Emperor Deqing's bottom line for himself at this moment.
In fact, this time pretending to be sick, Zhao Junchen's main purpose was to show his loyalty, and use all means to move Emperor Deqing as much as possible, and to promote his status in Emperor Deqing's heart, but also to take the opportunity to test Emperor Deqing's attitude and bottom line towards himself.
As for the cooperation with Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, framing the crown prince Zhu and Tan, etc., it was just incidental.
Emperor Deqing's micro-service sī visit, although it was unexpected by Zhao Junchen, but even if there was no micro-service sī visit, in the morning court tomorrow, Zhao Junchen would still stage a drama of "going to the court with illness", but the effect was not as obvious as it is now.
"As long as I'm faithful, as long as you're still in power, can I be sure of worry-free?"
Thinking back to Emperor Deqing's assurance, Zhao Junchen muttered to himself, but he didn't look happy and relaxed.
For an emperor, this guarantee, although it is already the ultimate favor, but Zhao Junchen understands that the guarantee is only a guarantee, but whether Emperor Deqing can abide by it is another matter. "It's just a disguise, if you say that turning your face is like turning a book, I'm afraid no one is more skilled than the emperors.
More importantly, for this assurance, Emperor Deqing set two prerequisites, one was to "continue to be loyal." One is "I'm still in place."
And these two guarantees are themselves a contradictory refutation.
If you continue to work loyally for Emperor Deqing, with Emperor Deqing's son, Zhao Junchen will inevitably need to carry the black pot for Emperor Deqing, as a result, Zhao Junchen's reputation among the government and the opposition is getting more and more stinky, and when Emperor Deqing abdicates or a hundred years later, under the change of dynasty, the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, the newly enthroned emperor, how can he let Zhao Junchen go?
"Gaozong to Qin Xuan, Sejong to Yan Song, and even Qianlong to He Kun, I'm afraid they all had similar guarantees, right? Although it is just a useless verbal guarantee, but knowing the bottom line of Emperor Deqing's attitude, my heart can also be more stable, at least, next I am above the temple, if the action is bigger, with this guarantee, Emperor Deqing will also turn a blind eye to me, right? ”
What is Emperor Deqing's bottom-line attitude towards Zhao Junchen has always been a stone on Zhao Junchen's heart.
But now, after understanding the bottom line of such an attitude, Zhao Junchen began to think about more far-reaching things.
Just as Zhao Junchen was thinking about his next plan, there was a knock on the door.
"Young master, I'm back."
But it was Xu Qingyan's voice.
Xu Qingyan has no talent for acting, so when Emperor Deqing came, although Fang Ru's identity was not suitable, Zhao Junchen still handed over all the things to Fang Ru to be responsible for.
And it turns out that Fang Ru did a really good job, even beyond Zhao Junchen's imagination, the reason why Zhao Junchen was able to win the trust of Emperor Deqing, Fang Ru's expressions before and after, can be called the first credit.
As for Xu Qingyan, in order to prevent him from making a mistake, Zhao Junchen asked him to avoid it temporarily.
"Come in."
As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Xu Qingyan pushed the door wide.
"Your Majesty left?"
Xu Qingyan nodded and said, "Just left." ”
Zhao Junchen asked again: "Can the news of His Majesty's visit spread?" ”
Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "Although His Majesty told him to keep this visit as secret as possible and not let others know, several officials from the DPRK and China who came to visit him, under our arrangement, happened to see His Majesty leaving. In this way, I am afraid that within a day, the government and the opposition will know about His Majesty's visit. ”
Zhao Junchen nodded, and said softly: "That's right, this thing is for others to see, although not the more the better, but sometimes it is always useful." In the next period of time, I will pretend to be sick and stay away from the court, and what happens in the temple can only be watched, and I can't directly intervene. ”
Xu Qingyan praised: "The young master still understands it." ”
Just as the two were talking, Fang Ru also pushed the door in.
At this time, Fang Ru was full of smiles, and between her clever eyes, she was full of charm, where did she have the slightest worry before?
While secretly praising Fang Ru's acting skills in his heart, seeing a certain expectation between Fang Ru and understanding Fang Ru's thoughts, Zhao Junchen smiled and beckoned to Fang Ru, and Fang Ru also came to Zhao Junchen's chuáng head.
"You did a good job today, our majesty is the most suspicious, if you don't have your front and back table, I want to eliminate the doubts in his heart, but I am not completely sure."
While speaking, Zhao Junchen patted Fang Ru's small white hand on the chuáng, and said, "It's my luck to have you by your side." ”
"It's not that you've got the right plan, sir."
Listening to Zhao Junchen's praise, Fang Rushen became more and more happy, as if an innocent child had gotten his favorite candy.
It was Xu Qingyan next to him who suddenly snorted lightly.
He is still not used to Fang Ru.
Looking at Fang Ru's happy appearance, Zhao Junchen was secretly thinking about whether it was time to give Fang Ru more trust and let her help him do more things?!。
