Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

When Zhao Junchen entered the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, he secretly raised his eyes to see that Emperor Deqing was holding a copy of "West Lake Dreaming" at this time and reading it carefully, his expression was full of concentration and yearning.

This "Dream of the West Lake", Zhao Junchen also understands, is the previous dynasty of the six rest of the monk wrote, in the description of the West Lake scenery has its own insight, the famous landscape in Hangzhou, temples, shrines, etc.

Obviously, with the end of the examination, the palace examination is about to begin, and the "Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case" that the crown prince Zhu Heyu is responsible for trial is also coming to an end, Emperor Deqing is a little impatient for the next southern tour.

Seeing Zhao Junchen enter the imperial study, Emperor Deqing put "West Lake Dream Search" at hand, and before Zhao Junchen could salute and say hello, he was already scolding with a smile: "Are you finally willing to come to the palace to greet me?" Since you and Huang Yourong had a dispute that morning, it has been more than half a month since you came to the palace to say hello to me, right? These days, I can only see you in the morning. If you don't come again, I still think that you are only thinking about Huang Yourong now. ”

Between Emperor Deqing's words, there was a little beating, but looking at his expression, he was in a good mood, and it didn't seem that he was really blaming Zhao Junchen.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen was not worried about Emperor Deqing's slight beating, but only after saluting. He said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister does not dare to forget His Majesty's kindness all the time, and he always wants to enter the palace to accompany him." However, the minister did not know the height of the sky a few days ago, but he offended Huang Ge Lao, during this time in order to deal with Huang Ge Lao's counterattack, he was already quite in a hurry, not to mention, if he met too much with His Majesty, it would inevitably make people doubt the fairness of His Majesty's decisions in the future, and the minister naturally did not dare to ruin His Majesty's reputation because of his own selfishness.

Let alone. Seeing that the southern tour is approaching, the ministers will also accompany him at that time, so there are some things in the household department. It must be arranged in advance, so that you can cruise south with peace of mind. In Yichen's opinion, compared to entering the palace to accompany the car, you can make your majesty have no worries about the peace of mind of the southern tour. That's what ministers should really do. So please forgive me! ”

Between hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation. Everywhere hinted at his loyalty, as if he was only thinking about Emperor Deqing, but Emperor Deqing laughed, but he was noncommittal, just snorted softly: "Oh? Are you a little scrambling in the face of Huang Yourong's counterattack now? Why don't I think? Since the conflict between the two of you, I have only seen you pressing Huang Yourong step by step, and Huang Yourong's only means of counterattack is to send someone to the household department to check the accounts, but I haven't found out the reason until now! Depend on me. Now it's Huang Yourong who is in a hurry, right? Hum! This Huang Yourong is a lot older. The more I live, the more I go back, although I don't like the appearance of party disputes in the court, but he is an old man, and he can't even compete with you, a young junior, what else can I expect him to do! ”

In fact, this party struggle between Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong was tacitly approved by Emperor Deqing.

Because during the southern tour in the future, the crown prince Zhu and Yu will stay in Beijing to supervise the country, and the elder Huang Yourong will stay in Beijing to assist the government, Emperor Deqing naturally hopes that this party struggle between Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong can lose some of Huang Yourong's influence, and the prince Zhu and Yu will be able to have fewer constraints, do more things, and take the opportunity to establish prestige.

However, the situation that Emperor Deqing expected the most was still the defeat of Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong, after all, Zhao Junchen's power and influence have grown too fast during this period of time, and it has been somewhat out of Emperor Deqing's expectations and control.

However, Emperor Deqing didn't expect Huang Yourong to be so useless as a dignified elder, he was only pressed and beaten by Zhao Junchen during this time, and he had no power to fight back at all! In this way, Huang Yourong's momentum was greatly damaged as expected, but the influence of Zhao Junchen's faction in the court became more and more powerful.

Therefore, between Emperor Deqing's words at this time, he had a bit of a "hatred for him" towards Huang Yourong.

…………

On the other hand, after listening to Emperor Deqing's comment, Zhao Junchen was just about to explain something, but he was interrupted by Emperor Deqing's wave of his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to beg me to cry and be pitiful, I am not so easy to fool!" Say, why did you think about seeing me today? But what happened? ”

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "If you go back to your majesty, something happened, but it was a happy event. ”

"Oh? What's the happy event? Hearing Zhao Junchen say that it was a happy event, Emperor Deqing also showed some expectations on his face.

"Your Majesty, the minister has just received a summons from Xichang, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finished dealing with the 'Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case' in various places, and is about to return to Beijing to resume his life! This time, during the handling of the case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punished a large number of corrupt officials and local bullies, returned justice to more than 10,000 people, and praised the people all over the world. ”

After listening to Zhao Junchen's explanation, Emperor Deqing nodded with satisfaction after a slight pause, showing a look of relief: "Oh? It seems that the prince's errand is doing well, and he has finally lived up to my expectations of him. Ay! In fact, the prince is still capable, but he still lacks experience and some experience, and he was in charge of the preparations for the southern tour last time, and he himself was not wrong, only to blame the local officials for deceiving the superiors and subordinates. Now that the prince can set things right, it can finally be regarded as a matter of my heart. ”

Although the concepts and personalities between Emperor Deqing and the crown prince Zhu Heyu are incompatible, and even Emperor Deqing is still a little jealous of Zhu Heyu's virtuous name, the prince is the prince after all, and he is the son he values the most. Some time ago, Zhu Heyu smashed the errand of preparing for the southern tour, and Emperor Deqing's face was not good-looking.

Now, I heard that Zhu Heyu has beautifully completed the "Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case", which not only saved Zhu Heyu's political prestige, but also felt that Emperor Deqing himself felt that there was light on his face.

At the same time, I remembered that the reason why the crown prince Zhu Heyu was able to serve as the errand of handling the case was because of Zhao Junchen's mention and strong support. Emperor Deqing's eyes when he looked at Zhao Junchen were also a little kinder.

And Zhao Junchen continued: "In addition to this matter, the minister's mansion collected a good century-old Zizhi a few days ago. Worth 100 gold, the minister heard that this Zizhi is also known as 'fairy grass', which is the top grade in the medicinal materials, protects the spirit and improves the essence, strengthens the muscles and bones, and has a good color. Wearing light for a long time and prolonging life can be described as a miraculous effect, but it is such a treasure. The minister felt that he was blessed, and he didn't dare to use it alone, and he remembered that the body of the Seventh Prince he saw in the palace last time was a little weak, and the effect of this Zizhi was just right. That's why I wanted to dedicate it to the Seven Princes. ”

Speaking of which. Zhao Junchen cautiously glanced up at Emperor Deqing, only to see that Emperor Deqing's expression remained unchanged - obviously he thought that this was just a way for Zhao Junchen to slip his beard and pat the horse - so he continued: "However, the minister is a foreign minister after all, and it is not good to have a secret relationship with the Seven Princes, so I want to send this Zizhi to His Majesty, and then your Majesty will give it to the Seventh Prince, which can be regarded as a little heart of the minister's royal family." ”

On the other side, after Emperor Deqing listened to Zhao Junchen's words, he sighed and said, "Junchen, you can be regarded as having a heart." Lao Qi's body has not been very good, and I am often worried about this! Actually, by his age. He should have left the capital a long time ago, but with his body, I and the prince were not at ease, so I let him stay in the capital all the time, speaking of which, this has broken the rules of the ancestors, but Lao Qi is my son after all, let him leave the capital like this, how can I bear it? At the beginning, the imperial concubine had just given birth to the crown prince, and the vitality had not yet been replenished, but I owed it for consideration, so I let the imperial concubine conceive a second child, but after the seventh child was born, she was born with insufficient vitality, and even almost died early, which was also owed to him. ”

After a pause, Emperor Deqing said again: "Speaking of which, it is really a pity for Lao Qi, although he is frail and sickly, but in terms of intelligence, he is one of my princes, and he understands etiquette, knows advance and retreat, and is also filial...... Speaking of which, among all the princes, I also like him the most, but God is not beautiful...... Ay! ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing say this, Zhao Junchen naturally sighed.

But at the same time, Zhao Junchen's tentative purpose of Emperor Deqing has also been achieved.

Originally, Zhao Junchen always believed and doubted Emperor Deqing's words, after all, the word "integrity" was never one of Emperor Deqing's good qualities, and Emperor Deqing never minded using lies to achieve his goals! The so-called emperor's "golden mouth" is just a bluffing thing.

However, Zhao Junchen could hear Emperor Deqing's words - he really loved and cared about the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian.

According to the perspective of psychology in later generations, if a person cares more about something, he will subconsciously make more comments between discussions, and when Emperor Deqing talked about the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, he didn't even need Zhao Junchen to answer, he could talk endlessly, far more than usual, so this kind of emotional expression is obviously true.

And this also means that after the fall of Zhu Heyu in the future, Emperor Deqing is likely to support Zhu Hejian as the new crown prince!

After all, although Emperor Deqing has no shortage of rational cities with imperial scheming, he is often emotional.

However, between Emperor Deqing's descriptions, Zhao Junchen had some interesting news.

That is, when describing his concern for the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, Emperor Deqing repeatedly mentioned himself and the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but he was the only one who did not mention the biological mother of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, the imperial concubine Wanshi!

With Emperor Deqing's favor for the imperial concubine Wan, as well as the noble status of the imperial concubine herself, Emperor Deqing should have mentioned it at this time.

However, Emperor Deqing missed the imperial concubine Wan.

Does this mean that Emperor Deqing subconsciously thinks that the imperial concubine Wan cares about the seventh prince Zhu Hejian far less than him and the crown prince?

Does that also mean that the relationship between the seventh prince Zhu Hejian and his biological mother, the imperial concubine Wan, is not harmonious for some reason?

So, what is the reason for the discordant relationship between the mother and son?

For a while, Zhao Junchen thought a lot. (To be continued......)
