Chapter 607. Light and shade.

ā¦ā¦
On this day, before the time came, Zhao Shancai, who had only slept for more than two hours, woke up again because of severe pain, and then endured the pain, dragged the sick body, and began to deal with affairs and plan for the future for the crown prince Zhu and Yu as usual.

The more he found that his time was short, the more Zhao Shancai was unwilling to waste even a little bit of time, and he thought that the more fortunate he was at this time, the better the chances of the crown prince Zhu and Yu in the future.
Before the crown prince Zhu and Yu went to the palace to participate in the court meeting, they also advised Zhao Shancai to pay attention to rest as always, but Zhao Shancai still just nodded and agreed, and did not really pay attention.
Not long after the crown prince Zhu and Yu left, without any warning, Zhao Shan suddenly vomited blood in his mouth, and the blood spilled all over the desk, and then he passed out completely, his face was like ashes, and he could no longer see a trace of life.
Everyone in the East Palace knew Zhao Shancai's position in the hearts of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, and when they found that Zhao Shancai suddenly fell into a coma, they naturally panicked, and hurriedly invited the famous doctors in the capital, the imperial doctors in the palace, Zhang Decheng and others from the Zhao Mansion to treat Zhao Shancai together.
However, although all the doctors were the leaders of Xinglin, after they saw Zhao Shancai's situation, they were all helpless, because they found that Zhao Shancai's body vitality had already been completely depleted, and the stomach and intestines in his body had been completely eroded, full of sores, and he was already terminally ill, and he couldn't even take the medicine stone.
When the court meeting ended and the crown prince Zhu and Yu returned to the East Palace, what they saw was a scene of sadness and panic.
After hearing the news that Zhao Shancai suddenly fell into a coma, the crown prince Zhu Heyu was naturally shocked and his complexion changed greatly, and he didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he rushed towards Zhao Shancai's bedroom in a prince's court clothes.
When Prince Zhu and Yu rushed outside Zhao Shancai's room, they happened to see a group of doctors pushing the door one after another, all with solemn expressions, and a few people shook their heads and sighed.
Seeing the expressions of these doctors, Prince Zhu and Yu were even more heartbroken!
Among the doctors, led by Zhang Decheng and the imperial physician Wen Caining, after the prince Zhu and Yu saw the two, they also hurriedly asked: "Two miracle doctors...... Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, how is he doing? ā
Zhang Decheng and Wen Caining glanced at each other, and in the end, it was Zhang Decheng who spoke first: "His Royal Highness the Prince, life and death are fateful, manpower is difficult to violate, and please mourn and change!" ā
On the other side, Wen Caining also sighed: "Mr. Zhao, he is now terminally ill, and we are incompetent, all of whom are helpless and have no skills to return to heaven, I am afraid that ...... Mr. Zhao's deadline is today! ā
Zhang Decheng is the world's praise of the incense of the Buddha, and Wen Caining is the leader of all the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, these two are the authority of Xinglin, both medical skills and medical ethics are all convincing to the world.
Therefore, hearing that Zhang Decheng and Wen Caining both thought that Zhao Shancai was approaching, the prince Zhu and Yu only felt dizzy, and they actually felt that the sky was falling!
Although Zhao Shancai is a few years younger than the prince Zhu and Yu, but after this period of time between the two, it is not an exaggeration for Zhao Shancai to say that the prince Zhu and Yu are also teachers and friends, and the future planning of the prince Zhu and Yu, the response of the temple, and the preparation of all things are all handled by Zhao Shancai...... For the crown prince Zhu Heyu, the importance of Zhao Shancai cannot be overemphasized.
In this way, after hearing that Zhao Shancai was already approaching the limit, the crown prince Zhu and Yu were unacceptable, whether out of personal feelings or out of future ambitions.
So, although the crown prince Zhu Heyu also knew that Zhang Decheng and Wen Caining's judgment would not be wrong, he still couldn't help but ask at this time: "Both of them are the leaders of Xinglin, can't they really save Mr. Zhao's life?" No matter how precious the herbs are, I can get them right away! Even if there is no East Palace, there is always one in the palace! As long as Mr. Zhao can be cured, no matter how precious the medicinal materials are, it is not a pity! Please also ask the two miracle doctors to try to save Mr. Zhao! ā
Wen Caining's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that we are unwilling to be treated, but Mr. Zhao's body is on the verge of limit, and the stomach and intestines are extremely damaged, even if he takes the medicinal herbs, he can't absorb them at all, but it will further increase his pain, and ordinary acupuncture massage is useless at this time...... In this situation, let alone me waiting, even if the gods come, I'm afraid they will be helpless...... Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive your sins! ā
Compared with Wen Caining, Zhang Decheng has been personally treating Zhao Shancai for a while, and he also understands the relationship between Prince Zhu and Yu and Zhao Shancai, so he sighed and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we really have no more way to do it, but to try to make Mr. Zhao sober up for a while...... Now that Mr. Zhao has just woken up, His Royal Highness should go and see him again while he is still awake...... If there is any further delay, I am afraid that Mr. Zhao will not even be able to explain his last words! ā
Hearing Wen Caining and Zhang Decheng's words, Prince Zhu Heyu's expression was bitter, and he only felt sadness coming from it - why did a real gentleman like Zhao Shancai who was wise and resourceful want to end up dying young before his ambition was rewarded? Why are all the corrupt officials and traitors in the court doing bad things and full of evil, but they are still alive and well?
"People in the world always say, 'good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded', but in the officialdom, such a situation is only a minority, Qing officials want to do something good for the benefit of the country and the people, but they are often troubled by others, and end up with evil retribution, although the corrupt officials are caught again and again, but most of the corrupt officials are still caught in the net, impunity, and because of this, there are more and more officials who are lucky and willing to fall......"
Suddenly, the crown prince Zhu and Yu remembered Zhao Shancai's emotion a few days ago, and in addition to sadness in his heart, he felt even more confused.
In the end, the crown prince Zhu and Yu did not continue to entangle and embarrass Zhang Decheng and Wen Caining, but silently walked towards Zhao Shancai's room.
Walking to the door of Zhao Shancai's bedroom, Prince Zhu and Yu hesitated a little at first, and finally pushed the door in.
After entering the room, the crown prince Zhu and Yu looked up, but found that Zhao Shancai was sitting weakly at the head of the bed, while Zhao Shancai's scholar Zhao Mu was standing by the bed and crying.
Except for Zhao Shancai and Zhao Mu, there was no one else in the room.
At this time, Zhao Shancai's expression was as calm and indifferent as ever, as if he had seen through life and death, and just explained the aftermath to Zhao Mu softly, his tone was calm, and it seemed that he had already prepared everything.
āā¦ā¦ After meeting my parents, you told them on my behalf that the mountains are not filial, and the two elders are obviously alive, but they don't know how to spare their lives, not only can they not provide for their old age, but also let them send white-haired people to black-haired people, and finally die in a foreign country, and they can't catch the last time to see them until they die, which is really worthy of their nurturing grace...... However, Shancai did not live up to what they have always taught Shancai, although the world is turbid, but also clean and self-conscious, and always look up to be a man, not forgetting the original intention......"
Hearing Zhao Shancai's last words, Zhao Mu couldn't cry even more, nodded and said, "Young master, I have written it down, and I will definitely tell the master truthfully......"
At this moment, the crown prince Zhu and Yu also came to Zhao Shancai's bedside, and when they saw Zhao Shancai's disgraced face, it seemed that they would die at any time, and their mood became more and more desolate and confused, as if a thousand words came to their mouths, but in the end they couldn't say anything.
However, although the crown prince Zhu and Yu were silent, Zhao Shancai was still keenly aware of his appearance.
I saw Zhao Shancai slowly turn his head to look at the crown prince Zhu Heyu, and his eyes, which were already gradually dimming, actually brightened again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." After seeing the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai's expression seemed to be a little lighter, and he said slowly: "Shancai thought that he couldn't see His Highness for the last time, but fortunately, Your Highness, you still came back in time!" It just so happens that Shancai also has some things to explain to His Highness. ā
Seeing that Zhao Shancai was still thinking about himself in such a situation, the crown prince Zhu Heyu finally couldn't hold on any longer, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Zhao ......"
Zhao Shancai quietly looked at the crown prince Zhu Heyu for a moment, and then asked, "Your Highness, but you are a little confused?" I recalled the conversation between Shancai and His Highness a few days ago, and felt that the sky was unfair, good people were bad, and wicked people were free? ā
Then, without waiting for the crown prince Zhu Heyu to answer, Zhao Shancai had already said: "The sky is not benevolent, and regards all things as dogs, but it is also the most fair, neither favoring good nor inclined to evil, but the strong wins." So Your Highness, don't complain about the heavens and people, today's court is rampant and turbid, and what His Highness has done is to go against the trend, naturally there are many difficulties, and there will definitely be setbacks, but His Highness's ambition is not wrong, if everyone is alone, retreats in the face of difficulties, and even is with the light and dust, and is willing to fall, then this world will be completely eroded......
In fact, before I assisted His Royal Highness, Zhao Junchen had recruited me three times and twice, and I knew that he was quite sincere, but in the end he still resolutely rejected him, and it was for this reason that he ...... Zhao Junchen has a city government, is good at calculation, and is also good at judging the situation and making trade-offs, Your Highness, you are not as good as him in these aspects, but this world has never lacked Zhao Junchen, but there is only a lack of characters like His Highness...... Therefore, Shancai never regretted assisting His Highness......"
Hearing Zhao Shancai's words, Prince Zhu and Yu nodded slowly with a serious face, their expressions becoming more and more sad, but their eyes became firm again.
Seeing the changes in the crown prince Zhu and Yu, a trace of relief flashed in Zhao Shancai's eyes.
Then, Zhao Shancai was about to say something more, but suddenly his body trembled, and his breathing, which was originally quite steady, suddenly became short.
Seeing this scene, the crown prince Zhu Heyu was shocked, knowing that Zhao Shancai's condition was getting worse and worse, so he planned to call Zhang Decheng and Wen Caining and others to come in for treatment.
However, before the prince Zhu and Yu could speak, Zhao Shan had already reached out and grabbed the corner of the crown prince's clothes, obviously his fingers were already as thin as wood, but at this moment they were full of strength.
Zhao Shancai's voice was hurried and weak, his eyes were firmly fixed on the crown prince Zhu Heyu, and he gasped and said: "Your Highness, don't let the doctors in, I have already lost the skills to return to the sky, time is running out, while I still have the strength to spare, I have something to explain, Your Highness, you must keep it in mind......"
Hearing Zhao Shancai say this, Prince Zhu and Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, and said astringently: "Mr. Zhao, please say, He Yu must remember in his heart!" ā
"On the desk in my study, there are three books, one of which is reserved for Your Highness, and inside is Shancai's plans for His Highness's future development, as well as His Highness's solution strategies after encountering certain things in the future, I hope Your Highness must pay attention to it...... The other book is left to the new crown prince Wang Baoren, during this time, I have been integrating and sorting out all kinds of resources in the hands of His Royal Highness, established an intelligence network, and also found some talents that can be reused, these things I plan to leave all these things to Wang Baoren, this person's means and scheming are second to none, these things are in his hands, and they will not be wasted...... There is also a book, and I hope that His Highness can pass it on to His Majesty on my behalf......"
"Your Majesty asked Wang Baoren to serve as the crown prince and prince because he saw that His Royal Highness was weak in the temple and could not gain a firm foothold, so he wanted Wang Baoren to assist His Royal Highness...... However, Wang Baoren's position is not firm, if His Royal Highness's position is stable, he may assist wholeheartedly, but if Your Highness encounters danger in the future, Wang Baoren may be able to protect his life, and even take the initiative to betray His Highness for self-protection, so Your Highness, you should not fully trust Wang Baoren, if the situation is not good, you must be very careful......"
"His Royal Highness's close officials in the temple, only Lu Chunxiao, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, and Bao Wenjie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are worthy of reuse, among which Lu Chunxiao needs to sit in the Imperial Palace, His Royal Highness had better not move his position easily, as long as the Qingliu of the Imperial Court still supports His Highness, His Royal Highness's position is not easy to shake...... Even if there is an accident in the future, it is easy to make a comeback...... However, Bao Wenjie has been serving in the Ministry of Rites, but it is a waste of his ability and talent, Your Highness, it is better to transfer him to a position where he can do practical things and make political achievements as soon as possible, and it may be of great use in the future......"
"These days, His Royal Highness has understood the truth of fighting corruption with greed and punishing evil with evil, Shancai is deeply gratified in his heart, and now our strength is insufficient, and we need to use our strength to fight the most...... I know Your Highness, you have always disliked Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Shancai, but among the corrupt officials and traitors in the Manchu Dynasty, only the two of them still have the overall situation of the court in their hearts, and they are also willing to do some practical things for the people of the country, and they are not just blindly forming parties and bribery, so when Your Highness encounters major crises in the future, you might as well ask the two of them for help and carry out limited cooperation, maybe things can still have some room for maneuver......"
At this time, Zhao Shancai was already on the verge of the limit, his tone was becoming weaker and weaker, and his speech was intermittent, but his eyes were staring at the prince Zhu Heyu tightly, as if he was begging the prince Zhu Heyu to agree to his deathbed admonition.
Hearing Zhao Shancai's continuous advice, Prince Zhu and Yu nodded in agreement at first, but after hearing the last point, they couldn't help frowning, but in the end they didn't say anything, and still nodded in agreement.
Seeing the performance of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai's eyes flashed with a hint of relief again.
His hard work these days has not been in vain after all, and the crown prince Zhu and Yu are finally not as stubborn as before.
In addition to being relieved, Zhao Shancai's originally bright eyes gradually dimmed, his voice became slightly weaker, and he said again in an almost muttered voice: "It's a pity that Shancai doesn't have more time to assist His Highness...... His Royal Highness expected the prosperous era of Qingping, and Shancai also had no chance to see it...... For the sake of His Highness's future plans, Shancai can only do everything in many cases...... Your Highness, I'm sorry, and I hope you won't blame me in the future......"
Hearing Zhao Shancai's last words, Prince Zhu and Yu were stunned at first, wondering why Zhao Shancai suddenly apologized to himself, just because he didn't have more time to assist him?
Then, the crown prince Zhu and Yu suddenly found that Zhao Shancai had been grasping the fingers at the corners of his clothes, and he was hanging down weakly at this time. Zhao Shancai's eyes, which seemed to be bright and deep forever, had also been gently closed. Zhao Shancai's head hung weakly at the head of the bed, and there was still a trace of complex and incomprehensible expression on his lifeless face, which seemed to be regretful, seemed to be relieved, and seemed to be guilty.
Zhao Shancai...... Finally passed away completely!
hasn't had time to realize his ambition, not many people in this world have really understood his amazing talent, and he hasn't left enough traces for this world, but Zhao Shancai has already passed away.
For a while, Prince Zhu Heyu's thinking stagnated, and he just looked at Zhao Shancai, who was already silent in front of him.
Although they had known that Zhao Shancai's condition was bad, and although Zhang Decheng and Wen Caining had already said that Zhao Shancai's limit was today, the crown prince Zhu Heyu suddenly found out at this moment that he was still not psychologically prepared.
Then, in Zhao Shancai's room, there was a cry of great grief - after the scholar Zhao Mu saw Zhao Shancai's death, he could no longer control his emotions and couldn't help crying loudly.
For a while, everyone in the East Palace was faintly aware of something, and the atmosphere became more and more sad.
And the crown prince Zhu and Yu were still stunned and looked at Zhao Shancai in front of them, only to feel that the sky outside the window suddenly became much darker.
*
Just when the atmosphere in the Prince's East Palace was gradually sad, in Zhao Junchen's mansion at this time, the atmosphere gradually reached a climax!
United Boat Trip! A joint shipping company that is about to monopolize the shipping business of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Yangtze River waterway! The joint shipping line personally responsible for the "God of Wealth" Zhao Junchen!
Everyone knows that once this ship company is officially operational, it will definitely create an astronomical fortune!
Zhao Junchen asked them to "persuade" their relatives and friends to invest in United Shipping Company, which meant that they would let them participate in United Shipping Company in the name of their relatives and friends, and wait for the dividends to be shared in the future, which was simply to give them a gold mine that would make money every day!
What a huge benefit?
With such a benefit, how luxurious and comfortable can they live?
For a moment, the guests seemed to see a bright future with golden light, and the originally somewhat dull sky became bright in their eyes.
"Lord Zhao, don't worry! The United Shipping Company is related to the plan of the imperial court's commercial tax rectification, and as courtiers of the imperial court, we naturally have to do our best! When I go back today, I will gather all my friends and family and raise money from them to put it into the United Ship! I don't dare to say much about the amount, but I can still get 100,000 taels of silver! ā
Zuo Lanshan's eyes were shining, and he first responded loudly.
At the same time, Zuo Lanshan's statement also set a standard for all the guests present - Zuo Lanshan, who is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, plans to invest 100,000 taels of silver, so the rest of the guests can also decide the approximate amount of silver they put in according to their status, status and power.
So, Huo Zhengyuan also hurriedly got up and said loudly: "Lord Zhao, after Huo goes back, he will definitely gather all his relatives and friends to raise silver taels, and he can take out about 80,000 taels of silver!" ā
Chen Dongxiang also got up excitedly and said: "I can also get 80,000 taels of silver to invest in the United Shipping Company, although the amount is not much, but it can be regarded as a modest contribution to the imperial court!" ā
"Xiaguan Zhan Shanchang can raise 70,000 taels of silver to fund his strength!"
"Situ Han can raise 50,000 taels of silver in the next lawsuit, and it will be sent to the household department in a few days!"
"Such a grand event for the country and the people, Liu Changan, the lower official, will never be left behind, and he can also raise 50,000 taels of silver!"
For a time, for the sake of the "imperial plan" and the "people of the country", the guests present enthusiastically expressed their attitudes and squandered their money, all of which were a picture of the country and the people at any cost! As for how many times they will be able to receive returns in the future, there is no need to mention them here.
In this way, the atmosphere in Zhao's mansion became more and more jubilant, and all the guests were constantly laughing from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing the scene of the guests competing to express their attitudes, Zhao Junchen was also smiling.
He knew that his plan to win hearts and minds had succeeded.
And at this time, a subordinate of the Zhao Mansion came to Xu Qingyan's side and whispered a few words to Xu Qingyan.
Xu Qingyan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly walked to Zhao Junchen's side and whispered to Zhao Junchen: "Young Master, I just received the news that Zhao Shan is dead!" ā
Zhao Junchen's hand raised his glass slightly, and some wine spilled out.
But in the next moment, Zhao Junchen didn't seem to have any change in his thoughts, still smiling and chatting with all the guests!
The world is difficult, some people's road has come to an end, and some people have to keep going!
ā¦ā¦
Well, six thousand words!
ā¦ā¦
