This time, the meeting place between Zhao Junchen and Zhu Heyu was in the study of Zhao's mansion.

When the two met, Zhao Junchen withdrew everyone, and only they knew the specific content of this conversation.

Then, Zhao Junchen and Zhu Heyu didn't say much, and soon exchanged the secret letters of the suicide note that Zhao Shancai handed over to them at the beginning, and they all opened and read them with focused expressions!

Soon, the two had finished reading the contents of their respective letters, and their reactions were still different.

Zhao Junchen's expression seemed calm and calm, but there was a trace of joy in the depths of his eyes, which was obviously a great gain and a lot of benefits.

On the other side, Zhu Heyu's expressions were full of doubts and incomprehension.

Now, Zhu Heyu has read three of the four suicide note secret letters left by Zhao Shancai before his death, and only the secret letter of the suicide note obtained by Emperor Deqing is still unknown, but after Zhu Heyu has so much information, he still can't deduce Zhao Shancai's overall plan, and he only feels that he is seeing flowers in the fog, and it seems to be clear but not clear, and he vaguely seems to think of something, but it is not very clear.

On the other side, when Zhao Junchen looked up and saw Zhu Heyu's puzzled expression, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes again.

Zhu Heyu couldn't deduce Zhao Shancai's overall plan, which is also a matter of course, because Zhu Heyu's intelligence was missing an extremely crucial link - that is, the wolf ambition of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, and Zhao Shancai's deep fear of Zhu Hejian before his death - this information was the core and key point when Zhao Shancai originally conceived the plan!

But Zhao Junchen was very clear about this matter, so Zhao Junchen could deduce more things, and he could guess what the general content of the suicide note that Zhao Shancai presented to Emperor Deqing at the beginning!

At this time, after Zhu Heyu handed over the suicide note he had mastered to Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen also completely grasped Zhao Shancai's overall plan.

I have to admit that Zhao Shancai is indeed a genius, he skillfully used the mentality, situation, and interests of all the forces in the temple to formulate an extremely exquisite plan, the probability of success of this plan is not low, and it is not as easy to be affected by variables and deviate as Zhao Junchen expected.

If Zhao Shancai's plan is successfully realized, then Zhu Heyu will not only be able to ascend the throne and become emperor smoothly in the future, but also get the sincere support of hundreds of officials, and his prestige will be much higher than now!

At that time, according to the political system of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Heyu will also be invincible!

It's a pity that Zhao Shancai is dead after all, and the dead will never be able to fight the living, and will only become a tool for the living!

Zhu Heyu is indeed much more mature, if Zhao Junchen only needed to use thirty percent of the means to deal with him in the past, now if he wants to deal with Zhu Heyu, he must use seventy or eighty percent of the means - but there is still still room for strength.

Perhaps, sooner or later, Zhu and Yu will grow into equal opponents, but now they are still a little hot.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen only used some means slightly, and then he disturbed Zhu Heyu's state of mind, shook Zhu Heyu's confidence, and finally affected Zhu Heyu's thinking, so that Zhu Heyu obediently handed over Zhao Shancai's overall plan to Zhao Junchen!

In this way, when Zhao Junchen gets Zhao Shancai's overall plan, whether this plan can be successful in the end depends on Zhao Junchen's intentions.

Secretly proud, Zhao Junchen saw that Zhu Heyu's expression became more and more suspicious, so he decided to temporarily take on the role of preacher and teacher, answer Zhu Heyu's doubts, and also tell Zhu Heyu part of the truth!

Maybe it's a good opportunity for Zhu Heyu to transfer the trust in his heart from Zhao Shancai to Zhao Junchen.

*

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still feels full of doubts, and he can't deduce the truth of Zhao Shancai's plan?"

After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Zhu Heyu nodded and said, "He Yu is stupid, and I hope Zhao Gechen will give him advice!" ”

Zhao Junchen patiently explained slowly: "It's not that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is stupid, but His Royal Highness the Prince, there is still a key link missing from your current information, that is, what is the content of the suicide note that Zhao Shancai presented to His Majesty at the beginning!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Heyu was listening carefully, Zhao Junchen drank tea lightly and continued: "Actually, with the vision and wisdom of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was originally possible to guess some truths!" It's a pity that you trust Zhao Shancai too much, and you have never doubted him, so you were blinded......

But Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you think about it carefully, Your Majesty has always tried his best to protect you, even if you have done a lot of errands, you just try your best to make up for you, only thinking about slowly changing your personality, but you have never had the idea of changing your reserve......

Then, after His Majesty read the secret letter that Zhao Shancai presented to him before he died, his attitude suddenly changed, not only to seek all opportunities to suppress you, but also to blindly favor the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, and the idea of changing the reserve is known to passers-by...... Isn't there any connection between the two? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Zhu Heyu's face suddenly turned pale.

Zhao Junchen's statement is already very clear, Zhu Heyu once had similar thoughts, but he trusted Zhao Shancai too much in the past, and this kind of thought was subconsciously extinguished by him just slightly.

After all, Zhao Shancai has always been loyal, even when he was seriously ill and dying, he was the assistant to the prince Zhu Heyu, such loyalty can be said to be touching, the sun and the moon can be learned, how could he take the initiative to harm the prince Zhu Heyu?

Therefore, Zhu Heyu's voice trembled slightly, and he said in a loud voice: "Are you saying that the estrangement and suppression of my father and emperor during this period of time, his intention to change the prince, his favoritism to the seventh brother, etc., are all due to Zhao Shancai's suggestion in the secret letter of the suicide note?" No way! No way! Zhao Shancai has always been loyal, how can he harm me! ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said, "But that's the case!" Your Royal Highness the Prince, think about it carefully, how did Your Majesty react when you handed over Zhao Shancai's suicide note to Your Majesty? But the expression is gloomy and unhappy? Have you ever been asked if you have peeked at the contents of this suicide note?

If I am not mistaken, the suicide note that Zhao Shancai presented to Emperor Deqing must be the content of a strong recommendation for His Majesty to change the reserve! Zhao Shancai will probably say, His Royal Highness the Prince, your temperament is too naïve, you are also blindly trusting the people around you, and you always regard yourself as a gentleman, and you will be deceived by villains, such a heart is absolutely impossible to become a qualified emperor!

Zhao Shancai asked you to forward your suicide note to Your Majesty, just to show Your Majesty that his statement is true, so that Your Majesty will be completely unable to refute and completely die to you! You didn't know Zhao Shancai's mind from beginning to end, and you didn't mean to peek at all when you forwarded Zhao Shancai's suicide note to Your Majesty, which is the ironclad evidence that you are too naïve, blindly trust the people around you, and will be deceived by villains!

As the saying goes, 'When a person is about to die, his words are also good', this suicide note on the occasion of Zhao Shancai's death must have greatly stimulated His Majesty! You must know that Zhao Shancai is your most trusted staff, if even Zhao Shancai believes that you will never be able to become a qualified king, how can Your Majesty believe you?

At the same time, Zhao Shancai will also suggest to His Majesty that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian take over the position of the prince, by the way, list a series of advantages of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, and also say that you and the Seven Princes have always had a deep relationship and are like brothers, so the Seventh Prince will not deliberately harm you, the former prince, after inheriting the throne......

All in all, it is precisely because of the influence of Zhao Shancai's suicide note that His Majesty will make up his mind to change the reserve, and since then he has suppressed you in every possible way, wanting to promote the seventh prince Zhu Hejian to take over the storage position! ”

Zhao Junchen's tone was full of undoubtedness, and his statement also made Zhu Heyu completely unable to refute.

Seeing that Zhu Heyu's face was becoming more and more defeated, as if he was about to collapse in Sanguan, obviously suffering a great blow in his heart, Zhao Junchen's voice became relaxed again, and he said: "However, Zhao Shancai's approach is not a betrayal of you, he has been planning for you from beginning to end, this is actually a strategy to bring the dead back to life!" If it is combined with some other arrangements, even if it is temporarily deposed, it will still be successfully ascended to the throne in the end, and its prestige will increase greatly! ”

Zhu Heyu couldn't help but be stunned, and his expression also regained some vitality, and he hurriedly asked, "How to bring the dead back to life?" What does this mean? ”

Zhao Junchen sighed and said, "Zhao Shan found out that he was dying soon, but he was afraid that he was extremely desperate in his heart, right?" Because he found that once he dies of illness, with your heart and environment at that time, you will inevitably make enemies everywhere and continue to cause trouble, and sooner or later all your majesty's patience will be exhausted, and finally your prestige will be lost and deposed! In this way, you have no hope of turning the tables around!

But Zhao Shancai is indeed a genius of the world, when he predicted that such a situation was inevitable after his death, not only did he not despair and give up, but he guided and designed such a strategy to bring the dead back to life! That is, to use one of his suicide notes to make His Majesty lose confidence in you in advance and take the initiative to depose you! ”

"Zhao Shancai, why did he do this?" Zhu Heyu vaguely guessed something, but it was still not clear, and hurriedly asked.

"There are three reasons!" Zhao Junchen raised his hand and raised three fingers, still patiently explaining: "First, under the tempering of this adversity, it will promote the rapid maturity of your heart and the city government in a short period of time!" Second, in order to promote the cooperation between you and me, according to Zhao Shancai's promotion, whether you are suppressed by Your Majesty, or I am suspected by Your Majesty, it will happen in the same period, and this situation will promote you and me to warm up and form alliances and cooperation, which is also what Zhao Shancai has been expecting before his death! ”

Speaking of this, a hint of admiration appeared in Zhao Junchen's expression again, and he said: "At present, Zhao Shancai's first two goals have been successfully achieved!" ”

Then, Zhao Junchen asked in a teacher's tone of testing the students: "As for Zhao Shancai's third reason, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought of it?" ”

Zhu Heyu was stunned again, and after thinking seriously for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Please also ask Zhao Gechen to advise again!" ”

Zhao Junchen didn't go around in circles, and replied directly: "Zhao Shancai's third consideration is the change of people's hearts!" ”

"People's hearts?" Zhu Heyu asked suspiciously.

"Yes, human hearts! The guidance of people's hearts is often the direction of the general trend! If you understand people's hearts, you will understand the overall situation!

Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you might as well think about it, if Your Majesty is not determined to depose you for a long time, you will not be able to mature for a long time, and you will continue to cause trouble by relying on Your Majesty's protection! In this way, Your Majesty will continue to help you clean up the mess, and the officials of the various factions in the imperial court will repeatedly clash with you, and the Qingliu people will inevitably be disappointed after seeing your repeated failures!

In the end, sooner or later, your clumsy behavior will wear out Your Majesty's patience, and when the time comes, he will get tired of wiping your ass so much that he will be disgusted at the sight of you! At the same time, the officials will be completely offended by you, and all factions will regard you as enemies; The Qingliu will always fail to achieve things when they see you, and sooner or later they will abandon you...... At that point, once you are deposed, there will be no place to turn over!

On the contrary, if Your Majesty had made up his mind to depose you in advance and find all kinds of reasons to suppress you, all this would be completely different! Your government and the opposition have a good reputation, and you have always abided by filial piety, and you have never made a big mistake, and Your Majesty also has an old affection for you, in this case, Your Majesty will secretly feel guilty when he suppresses you; And the officials of the various factions and the Qingliu will also sympathize with you, and even be indignant about what happened to you...... In this way, even if you are temporarily deposed, there will not be much obstacle to making a comeback in the future! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, Zhu Heyu seemed to have gained, but he was still puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Zhao Gechen said that according to Zhao Shancai's layout, after I was deposed by my father and emperor, I will eventually regain the position of crown prince?" This...... It's impossible, isn't it? “

Speaking of this, Zhu Heyu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly set his eyes on the secret letter in his hand.
