When Xu Qingyan helped Zhao Junchen back to the room, the divine doctor Zhang Decheng also followed.

When the three of them entered the room, Zhao Junchen suddenly recovered his spirits, and he didn't see the weakness and malaise just now.

However, while the weakness and malaise disappeared, the official authority and momentum of Zhao Junchen were also gone.

I saw that after Zhao Junchen instructed Xu Qingyan to close the door, he immediately turned to Zhang Decheng with a smile and said, "Thank you Doctor Zhang for your cooperation this time!" If it weren't for Dr. Zhang's testimony, I'm afraid it would have been impossible for me to fool the past so easily. ”

Zhang Decheng stared at Zhao Junchen's face tightly, his expression was full of displeasure: "Only this time, not an example!" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded again and again and reassured: "Definitely!" Certain! In the future, I will never embarrass Doctor Zhang again! ”

The stitches that Zhang Decheng pricked Zhao Junchen's body just now were simply heart-wrenching, and Zhao Junchen screamed on the spot.

Therefore, in the future, unless it is a last resort, Zhao Junchen will never dare to force Zhang Decheng to do those things that violate the principles again.

Today's stitches are just a warning, who knows what means Zhang Decheng will use next time?

I'd rather offend the king of Hades than the doctor, especially Zhang Decheng, a worldly miracle doctor with clever means, he has too many ways to rectify Zhao Junchen.

After assuring, Zhao Junchen saw that Zhang Decheng's expression was still unhappy, and said: "Please also rest assured that the medical school I promised is all ready!" I have asked people to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of the capital, occupy an area of more than 100 acres, build more than 100 houses, invite more than 30 famous doctors from all over the country, and select more than 100 literate children from the disaster victims in the northwest to become the first batch of apprentices...... When we return to the capital, this medical school will be able to start in no time! ”

Xu Qingyan also helped beside him: "That's right! Doctor Zhang, you will be the dean of this medical school from now on! After a few decades, at least thousands of qualified doctors can be taught, and the common people will no longer have to rely on those unreliable You Fanglangzhong! In another hundred years, most of the Lang Zhong in the world will become the disciples and grandchildren of Doctor Zhang, and at that time, your reputation will definitely be stronger than Bian Que Hua Tuo! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan's words, Zhang Decheng's expression softened slightly.

If it weren't for this medical school, Zhang Decheng would not have stayed in Zhao Mansion at the beginning, and now he would not be assisting Zhao Junchen in acting.

However, after a little hesitation, Zhang Decheng looked up at Zhao Junchen and said slowly: "Lord Zhao, the old man is just a langzhong, and he doesn't know how to govern the country....... The old man also knew that Liang Ge was a good official, when he was the governor of the three sides, the old man practiced medicine in Shaanxi and Gansu, although his political and military achievements were not as dazzling as Lord Zhao, but he also did his best and did his best...... Lord Zhao, you hurt him this time, making him lose face and lose people's reputation, I'm afraid it's a bit excessive! ”

After hearing Zhang Decheng's statement, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, and his expression was a little complicated.

In the end, Zhao Junchen regained the smile on his face and said, "I also admire Liang Gelao's temperament and merits very much...... He is indeed a good official, but his actions are still the 'family world' after all, seeing that I am young, but I am too fast, before His Majesty can make a move, he can't wait to share the worries of the royal family, so I naturally can't stand still!

But please rest assured that Doctor Zhang, I am just fighting back a little this time, his prestige and prestige are certainly heavy losses, but I also gave him the opportunity to redeem everything, as long as he can help the imperial court completely stabilize the situation in the Hetao in the future, all the losses will be back, and his prestige and prestige will be much higher than now. ”

Xu Qingyan also looked indignant, and said: "Yes, Doctor Zhang, you have also seen it, this time the imperial court made up its mind to send troops to recover the Hetao, all because of the proposal and promotion of my family Lord Zhao, and also because my Lord Zhao created a good situation!"

But when it was time to pick the fruit, this Liang Fuchen came down out of thin air, relying on the fact that he was His Majesty's confidant and close minister, and took away the authority and plan of my family Lord Zhao, but my Lord Zhao has been doing his best to assist him and assist him during this period of time, and he does not complain at all! But he is good, not only does he not have any gratitude, but he can't wait to pour dirty water on my family Lord Zhao...... To be honest, I still think that the young master's revenge is too light! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation and Xu Qingyan's help, Zhang Decheng shook his head and sighed lightly, didn't say anything more, just gestured to Zhao Junchen, and then turned around and left.

Just like Zhang Decheng himself said, he is just a Langzhong, who only knows how to heal people, but does not know how to govern the country, and the grievances between Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen are mixed with too many factors, so that he can't tell the right and wrong of this matter at all.

Therefore, Zhang Decheng only mentioned it slightly, and after seeing Zhao Junchen's own opinions, he didn't mention it anymore.

*

After Zhang Decheng left the room, Zhao Junchen laughed at himself.

When Zhao Junchen instructed Xu Qingyan to buy horse bandits and kidnap Liang Fuchen, he actually had some guilt in his heart.

At that time, Zhao Junchen's thoughts were very similar to Zhang Decheng's, both of them thought that Liang Fuchen was a good official and he should not take action.

But today, Zhao Junchen once again took action to harm Liang Fuchen, and there was no trace of guilt in his heart, and his attitude became much firmer!

Such a change in mentality is actually worth studying.

Could it be that Liang Fuchen is suddenly no longer a good official? Not! According to the standards of the feudal society, Liang Fuchen is still a good official, and he still does his best and everything for his family and country.

But when Zhao Junchen attacked him this time, why did he suddenly lose his guilt?

In the final analysis, when Zhao Junchen arranged for the horse bandits to kidnap Liang Fuchen, Liang Fuchen had not yet shown hostility towards Zhao Junchen, and the two sides could even be called happy cooperation!

Therefore, Zhao Junchen felt guilty at that time, and it was only because he had harmed a good official who treated himself well - the point was "treating himself well", followed by "a good official".

And today, Liang Fuchen is already hostile to Zhao Junchen, and even has some meaning of life and death, Zhao Junchen will no longer have any guilt if he kills him.

In the final analysis, Zhao Junchen is just a refined egoist.

*

The so-called "know yourself and know your opponent, win all battles".

But most of the time, it is always difficult to "know oneself" and easy to "know oneself".

The so-called "bystander clearing" probably means this.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen often explores his psychological changes in order to more clearly recognize his personality and temperament.

Liang Fuchen's ability and temperament are good, but he is not good at conspiracy and trickery, so Zhao Junchen can repeatedly trap him.

But when Zhao Junchen returns to the capital, his opponents will become Zhou Shangjing, Emperor Deqing, and Zhu Hejian, all of whom are scheming, decisive, proficient in the art of power and strategy, and better at taking advantage of human weaknesses.

If Zhao Junchen didn't even know what kind of person he was, he would inevitably be toyed with by them in the future!

And just when Zhao Junchen was secretly dissecting his character, Xu Qingyan suddenly reported to him, saying that the elder Zuolanshan came to visit and condole.

After hearing Xu Qingyan's report, Zhao Junchen lay on the bed again, pretending to be resting.

Although Zuo Lanshan is Zhao Junchen's confidant, he still has to pretend at this time after all, and he can't leave too obvious handles.

When Zuo Lanshan was led into the room by Xu Qingyan, he saw Zhao Junchen half-lying on the bed, but there was no malaise in his expression.

Seeing Zhao Junchen's performance like this, Zuo Lanshan suddenly moved in his heart and confirmed some guesses in his heart.

Xu Qingyan moved a chair to Zhao Junchen's bedside, and after Zuo Lanshan sat down, he asked with a concerned expression: "Is Lord Zhao's body better?" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "It's better, but I'm afraid I won't be able to move for three or five days!" ”

Between the two of them asked and answered, they smiled tacitly and tacitly.

After the Ming army invaded the Hetao area on a large scale, because of the insufficient defensive forces of the Ordos tribe and the spare no effort on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, it can be said that the war progressed extremely quickly.

Therefore, after three or five days, the Ming army can successfully recover the entire territory of the Hetao.

At that time, Zhao Junchen will "just happen" to heal, and he will be able to leave for the capital!

In this way, it also means that Zhao Junchen participated in the whole process of the imperial court's war to recover the Hetao, and when the time comes to reward meritorious deeds after the war, Zhao Junchen can also reap the maximum benefits!

Considering Zhao Junchen's advice and efforts to create a situation, maybe he can be tied with Liang Fuchen for the first place in the list of meritorious contributions!

In fact, after the Ming army successfully recovered the Hetao area, it would usher in real troubles - the crazy counterattack of the Mongolian right-wing departments, the garrison and construction of the city after the war, the resettlement and reclamation of the people, etc., etc., are all tricky things - but all of this has nothing to do with Zhao Junchen, because at that time Zhao Junchen had already left the Huamachi camp and returned to the center of the capital!

This is simply the highest level of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages!

Thinking of this, Zuo Lanshan couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Previously, in order to buy enough time for Zhao Junchen, Zuo Lanshan had been grinding and delaying in every way to the Huamachi camp, but now after seeing Zhao Junchen's methods, Zuo Lanshan knew that even without his own secret cooperation, Zhao Junchen also had a way to delay the trip and buy enough time for himself.

After Zuo Lanshan sighed lightly, his expression returned to seriousness, and he said, "There is one thing that needs to be told to Lord Yu Zhao...... Just now, Elder Liang Ge had already ordered the beheading of Wang Mao, a profiteer who provided perjury! In this way, he will no longer be able to use Wang Mao's confession to make trouble with Lord Zhao in the future! ”

After a pause, Zuo Lanshan shook his head and smiled: "Lord Zhao, didn't you see Liang Fuchen's face at that time, it was simply black and blue!" But he couldn't help it, all the officials asked for his life and asked him to behead Wang Mao, no matter how stubborn his temperament was, he couldn't resist the will of the people! ”

A smile also flashed on Zhao Junchen's face, and he nodded: "Liang Fuchen is a person who takes care of the overall situation, this is his advantage, but it is also his disadvantage!" For Liang Fuchen, the most important thing at present is to recover the Hetao, and such a major event must not be without the assistance of all civil and military officials, so he naturally will not go against the will of the people. ”

Zuo Lanshan cautiously glanced at Zhao Junchen's expression and asked, "However, Liang Fuchen's stubborn personality is also notoriously stubborn, Lord Zhao, you embarrassed him in public this time, aren't you afraid of his entanglement and revenge in the future?" ”

Zuo Lanshan was very smart, he didn't ask the truth behind Liang Fuchen's kidnapping by horse bandits.

Although he is an old man of the court, the nature of this matter is too serious, and Zuo Lanshan thinks that he still doesn't know what to do!

In fact, Zuo Lanshan didn't care about the truth at all, he just wanted to know if Zhao Junchen had any follow-up means to prevent Liang Fuchen's counterattack.

Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly and said leisurely: "These things are meaningless, don't worry about it at all!" As long as everyone believes in me, his entanglement will have no effect!

Zuo Ge Lao, you have to understand that after the imperial court recovered the Hetao, Liang Fuchen was certainly a great achievement and had unlimited scenery, but this also means that he will not be able to return to the center of the capital for a long time in the future, and he must continue to stay in Shaanxi and Gansu and consolidate the imperial court's rule over the Hetao region! When he is far away from the capital, even if he retaliates, it will not hurt me anymore!

What's more, if he wants to consolidate the situation in the Hetao, whether it is the resettlement of the people at the time of the border charge, or the consumption of money and grain at the time of the construction of the city, or the cultivation tools and seeds at the time of reclamation, they are all inseparable from my support, and at that time, he will have countless things to ask me for, and where will he dare to take revenge on me?

After another three or five years, the situation in Hetao will be consolidated, and Liang Fuchen will return to the center of the capital again...... But at that time, the situation in the imperial court may have changed drastically, and it may not be impossible for me to turn enemies into friends with him! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, he was obviously thoughtful and long-term, and Zuo Lanshan was also secretly relieved.

Then, Zuo Lanshan's expression became serious again, and he asked again: "Speaking of the situation in the capital, Lord Zhao, have you received any news?" Your Majesty and the major factions of the imperial court have begun to weaken our power and influence...... Huo Zhengyuan was dismissed from the post of Yin of Shuntian Mansion and was ordered by His Majesty to think about it behind closed doors; Zhan Shanchang was also deprived of the position of the head of the household department, and His Majesty arranged for Hong Zhengshuo of the 'Imperial Party' to take his place, which was obviously a precursor to meddling in the household department, and a number of middle-level officials were purged, which can be described as a heavy loss......"

After a pause, Zuo Lanshan sighed and said: "Even I, I have been impeached many times during this time, but I am afraid that the position of the cabinet minister will not last long!" This is also something that has been expected for a long time, Your Majesty will not tolerate me staying in the cabinet with Lord Zhao, otherwise our influence on the cabinet will not be inferior to that of the 'Zhou Party'!" ”

Zuo Lanshan's remarks were ostensibly worried about the losses of the "Zhao Party", but the focus was on the last remarks, hinting at the sacrifices and losses he had made after Zhao Junchen entered the cabinet.

Zhao Junchen naturally understood Zuo Lanshan, and immediately comforted: "Zuo Ge Lao can rest assured, when I return to the capital, these losses can be easily recovered...... Otherwise, I'll be sick in vain! ”

In fact, Zhao Junchen pretended to be unconscious this time, a total of three considerations, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

First of all, it was natural to attack Liang Fuchen's prestige and force Liang Fuchen to give up investigating the truth about his kidnapping by horse bandits; The second is to take the opportunity to delay time and maximize their benefits and benefits; Finally, it is a foreshadowing of Emperor Deqing's resignation after returning to the capital!

Yes, according to Zhao Junchen's plan, the first thing he did after returning to the capital was to ask Emperor Deqing for his illness and resignation!

In this way, first of all, he took retreat as advance, and told Emperor Deqing that he did not have much ambition; The second is to make Emperor Deqing understand more deeply that the imperial court is still inseparable from Zhao Junchen, and finally has to make concessions to Zhao Junchen; In the end, it is to brew a public opinion offensive to let the world understand Zhao Junchen's efforts and sacrifices during this time, and considering that Zhao Junchen's illness worsened completely because of Liang Fuchen's "nothing to do", Emperor Deqing could not stand up to reason, so he could only try to appease!

Of course, if Emperor Deqing directly agreed to Zhao Junchen's resignation, it would not be a bad thing for Zhao Junchen!

With Zhao Junchen's current prestige and the status of a noble of the imperial court, if he can take this opportunity to get out of the temple, maybe he can say goodbye to the fate of the fat pig to be slaughtered completely.

From this point of view, Zhao Junchen is really a little worried that Emperor Deqing will resolutely disagree with his resignation, because this means that Emperor Deqing is still not like letting Zhao Junchen go!

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Zuo Lanshan was thoughtful.

Zhao Junchen continued: "As for Zuo Gelao's repeated impeachments during this time, I naturally know about it...... Alas, indeed, under the current situation, Zuo Ge Lao is only afraid that he will leave the center of the temple for a while! But please rest assured that your forced departure from the cabinet this time has something to do with me, and I naturally won't let you suffer!

Well, Li Xun, the governor of Shanxi, is only afraid that the end will not be good, and you will replace him when the time comes? The plan of commercial tax reform will soon be extended to the northwestern provinces, and it is the time to make political achievements, and the oil and water are also full! The Jin merchants in Shanxi have a close relationship with me, and they will fully cooperate with Zuo Ge Lao when the time comes, so Zuo Ge Lao does not have to worry that he will be constrained by others at that time. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, Zuo Lanshan was immediately overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

And at this time, Xu Qingyan entered the door again to report.

On the occasion of the report, Xu Qingyan's expression was a little strange, and he said, "Young Master, Liang Ge is old...... Someone sent someone to send an old ginseng, saying that it could be boiled in soup to nourish the young master's body. ”

Hearing Xu Qingyan's report, Zhao Junchen smiled again, turned his head to Zuo Lanshan and said: "It seems that Liang Fuchen also understands in his heart that if he can't defeat me today, he will inevitably demand me in the future!"

Haha, he is indeed a person who does great things, even if he wants to cut me with a thousand knives in his heart, but after seeing that things cannot be violated, he still chooses to mend the relationship as soon as possible! It's okay, now that it's a critical period, Liang Ge Lao and I really can't keep going on with the bar, otherwise it will only make the Mongols see jokes! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen turned his head to Xu Qingyan and ordered: "Accept this old ginseng, and then you personally go to Liang Ge's side and thank him solemnly!" Be respectful! ”

Xu Qingyan still had a strange expression, but quickly nodded in agreement.

Dumb loss is part of politics, compromise is also part of politics, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen are well aware of this, and they both understand the truth of the future!

*

However, Zhao Junchen didn't know that just when he was worried that his internal relationship with Liang Fuchen would make the Mongols see a joke, a conspiracy against his allies was also taking place in the Ordos tribe's royal tent in the Hetao Plain!
