At the same time that Zuo Lanshan used the matter of fighting eagles to teach Zuo Kuiwen, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian had already received the detailed discussion between Emperor Deqing and the elders in today's imperial study.

After receiving the news, Zhu Hejian was soon furious.

"Bastard! No wonder Shen Changmao can't sit firmly in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, he is a complete idiot! I can't even understand such an obvious change in the situation! I was blind to choose to work with him! ”

As he spoke, the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian smashed all the utensils on the desk in front of him, and also tore off all the books and papers.

In the face of Zhu Hejian's anger venting, his long-term eunuch Jia Lun still stood beside him expressionlessly, without the slightest intention of stopping.

Jia Lun has followed Zhu Hejian for many years, and understands that Zhu Hejian's temperament is the most resolute and cold, and now venting his anger is only temporary, and when Zhu Hejian finishes venting his anger, he will regain his composure, and he will never let his anger interfere with his own judgment again.

Sure enough, after Zhu Hejian vented for a while, his expression quickly regained his calmness and reason.

Then, Zhu Hejian slowly sat back behind the desk, closing his eyes thoughtfully.

Zhu Hejian's physical condition has always been not good, and now he may have been too excited when he vented his anger before, and he would cough a few times from time to time when he was thinking.

Jia Lun brought a cup of tea to Zhu Hejian at the right time to moisten his throat.

After Zhu Hejian took the tea and drank it, he sighed softly, with some self-blame in his voice that seemed to be unable to forgive himself, and said slowly: "Maybe it's because my father's intention to depose the crown prince is becoming more and more obvious, which makes me a little carried away!" Unexpectedly, at this time, a flaw was revealed. ”

Jia Lun listened quietly and did not interject, because he knew that Zhu Hejian just wanted to use these words to reorganize his thoughts.

I saw Zhu Hejian continue: "Some time ago, my father summoned me to question, and the words were all about the meaning of the examination to me, and during this period, I also asked me how to deal with Zhao Junchen once he formed a big trend in the future, I have long thought about this matter, that is, to nominally promote Zhao Junchen to the cabinet and auxiliary government, and then release Zhao Junchen as a feudal official on the grounds that Zhao Junchen lacks experience in governing the local government, Zhao Junchen's power base is mostly in the center of the capital, and it is easy to collapse after he leaves the capital. When the time comes, Zhao Junchen will be recalled to the capital, and Zhao Junchen will have no power to resist, so I said two ancient precepts to my father, which are 'not Lizhou County, not Taiwan Province' and 'The prime minister must start from the state department'...... My father was very satisfied with my answer at that time! ”

After a pause, Zhu Hejian continued: "During this period of time, I also took advantage of Shen Changmao's inability to sit firmly in the position of first assistant to secretly contact him, this Shen Changmao because Zhao Junchen once wanted to annex the 'Shen Party', but he hated Zhao Junchen, and also asked me how to deal with Zhao Junchen, I didn't think much about it at that time, and I also told him the two ancient sayings of 'not Lizhou County, not Taiwan Province' and 'The prime minister must start from the state department'! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Hejian sneered and sneered, and said: "My original idea was that when Zhao Junchen has the qualifications and merits to join the cabinet and assist the government, at least five or six years later, the financial situation of the imperial court has completely improved, and it is no longer inseparable from Zhao Junchen, so you can rest assured that Zhao Junchen will be sent abroad as a feudal official, so I have such an idea!"

But the development of the situation today is completely different from what I originally thought, Zhao Junchen's exploits in annihilating the Mongolian army of 100,000 in one fell swoop are enough for him to enter the cabinet without dispute, and it is also because of the war on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, the financial situation of the imperial court is not only not improved, but the gap of money and food is getting bigger and bigger. If you still want to deal with Zhao Junchen, you naturally have to think of another means!

But I never thought that this Shen Changmao was so stupid, he didn't understand the changes of the times at all, and he didn't have the slightest patience, he only knew that he took my ideas and showed them in front of his father, not only completely copied my ideas, but even the ancient sayings quoted were the same!

Plus my relationship with the' too. The relationship between the sub-party's officials has always been close, and this period of time has also been secretly promoting'. The confluence between the 'Zi Party' and the 'Shen Party' will inevitably cause the father to notice it...... All these circumstances are superimposed, and with my father's vigilance and suspiciousness, I will inevitably suspect my role, and then I will suspect that all the gentleness and deference I have shown before are all disguises! But it was the plan for me to take over as the crown prince and the prince that had twists and turns! ”

At this time, Jia Lun finally spoke slowly and said: "I received the news, Your Majesty, after the discussion with the elders of the pavilion, he quickly summoned the factory governor of the East and West No. 2 Factory, maybe he will let the factory guards secretly probe Your Highness about your secret contact with Shen Changmao, Cheng Yuandao and others......

Speaking of this, Jia Lun hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, I have always felt that you have not yet taken over the position of crown prince, and you have already secretly infiltrated the 'Tai. The factions such as the 'Sub-Party', the 'Shen Party', and the 'Zhao Party' seem to be in a bit of a hurry! It is better to do these things after you have the title of prince, otherwise it will be easy to expose flaws. Now not only Your Majesty may have a trace of suspicion, but Zhao Junchen's side is full of jealousy of you, these are all variables. ”

Zhu Hejian shook his head slowly, but he didn't have any regrets, and said: "If I take over the position of the crown prince, many things will not only be too late, but when the time comes, everyone will be closely watched, and I will need to avoid suspicion and not be able to do it myself!" The position of the crown prince seems to be glorious, but it is also the most dangerous and embarrassing, half a monarch and half a minister, and a monarch is also a minister, but also a monarch is suspicious and jealous, if he does not have any power, not only will the hundred officials be underestimated, the father will be disappointed, maybe when he will be replaced, it is difficult to control the situation of the court after ascending the throne, but if he actively expands his power, he will be jealous and secretly mixed by the ministers, and the suspicion and suppression of the father...... Hehe, don't look at my father, he seems to be very fond of me at the moment, but after I officially become the crown prince, he has a different attitude! ”

Seeing that Zhu Hejian's attitude was still firm, he said slowly: "Therefore, if I want to sit firmly in the position of the crown prince, I must have a certain amount of power and influence before the official position is determined, and secretly infiltrate the 'Tai. 'Sub-party' is just the proper meaning of the question, but' too. The vast majority of the Qingliu officials of the sub-party are mature and unsuccessful, not enough to rely on, and now Shen Changmao is not stable in the position of the first assistant, which is also a great opportunity for me to cooperate with him secretly, he will collapse sooner or later, and when he falls, I should almost officially go to the forefront, and I can just accept the power of the 'Shen Party'. With the support of the 'sub-party' and the 'Shen party', the position of the crown prince can be stabilized soon! If it weren't for that, I am afraid that I would have to face the spying of my father, Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen and others in turn...... The current situation of the third brother is a precedent! ”

Obviously, Zhu Hejian just felt that he was still not cautious enough, but he didn't think that he was in a hurry.

In a way, this is not only Zhu Hejian's character strength, but also Zhu Hejian's character flaw.

Hearing Zhu Hejian's words, Jia Lun did not question it anymore, but just asked: "But now Your Majesty is likely to have suspicions, once Your Majesty sends someone to secretly investigate in detail, it is difficult for us not to be discovered all kinds of things over the years, after repeated rectifications of the East and West No. 2 Factory, our control has decreased a lot." ”

Zhu Hejian pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Father, he shouldn't be too suspicious of me, it's just that he is proficient in the emperor's mental arts, so after sensing a hint of signs, he will subconsciously have doubts in his heart!" Now the matter can be reversed, as long as it can completely dispel the father's doubts before the father's suspicion becomes bigger, this matter will naturally pass! ”

Jalen asked again, "And how should it be handled?" ”

Zhu Hejian stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to visit His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
