This time, Zhu Heyu still didn't hesitate too much, and replied calmly: "Actually, at the beginning, when I found out that my father was determined to depose me and set up another seventh brother as the new prince, I was naturally a little disappointed, unwilling and indignant in my heart, but I was also a little relieved......

After all, in the years that I have served as the prince, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have achieved nothing, and I have done many things, which makes me inevitably doubt myself, thinking that my heart and ability are not enough to inherit the unification, and forcibly ascending the throne will only mislead the country and the people......

At the same time, the seventh brother and I are like brothers and sisters, deep feelings, I have always believed in his character and knowledge, and as I just said, unlike my resentment and anger over the years, the seventh brother has been praised and recognized by almost everyone, and becoming the prince is also a matter of great expectation......

After I am deposed, it is undoubtedly the best choice for him to take over the position of prince! So, for a while, I gave up resisting in my heart, and only waited for my father to find the right time to proclaim my will to depose me, and then I was like this for the rest of my life! ”

When explaining, Zhu and Yu talked eloquently, very patient and sincere, full of heart-to-heart.

At least, it seems so.

Then, Zhu Heyu changed his words and said: "However, while I accepted my fate, I saw the seventh brother gradually walking to the front of the stage, and the reputation was getting better and better, and all parties in the government and the opposition praised him, and I couldn't help but feel envious in my heart, after all, this is something I have always longed for but can't get, so I began to seriously think about the words and deeds of the seventh brother, and explored the seventh brother's way of dealing with people and things in detail, and wanted to understand where my gap was......

However, the more I pondered and explored, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I thought about it for a long time, and finally found the truth - and the truth is that the reason why the seventh brother has a good reputation and praise from all sides is only because he is too easy-going, and he never argues, and when he sees his father and the emperor have a great success, he never reminds him, and he never reprimands when he sees the inaction of the officials, and he never refutes some of the taken things for granted by the Qinglius, in order to maintain a harmonious atmosphere, Anything can be tolerated, and naturally it has won the favor of all parties!

It's just that a character like the seventh brother, if he is a relative and friend, he will naturally be happy, but how can he inherit the unification and become the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan? Although I have achieved nothing over the years, I also know that the disadvantages of the imperial court have been deep, and in recent years, I have only relied on the means and prestige of Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Gechen and others to barely support, and it is bound to be unable to hold out for too long, and it will fall into chaos at any time.

Therefore, I thought about it, but in the end I thought that although I had achieved nothing over the years and repeatedly hit a wall, I was still the most suitable person to inherit the unification, because I deeply understood the current situation of the imperial court, and I was not afraid of change! On the contrary, if I hand over the country to a good old man like the seventh brother, I am afraid that the country will come to an end! ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Heyu finally finished his inner thoughts, and resumed his silence again, just looking at Zhao Junchen's face, waiting for Zhao Junchen's reaction.

In Zhao Junchen's impression, Zhu Heyu has always been concise and silent, and this is the first time Zhao Junchen has seen Zhu Heyu say so many words in one breath.

Under Zhu Heyu's attention, Zhao Junchen picked up the tea cup again and drank the tea lightly, hiding his gaze fluctuations.

If Zhu Heyu's words were not mixed with too many falsehoods, then Zhao Junchen had indeed gained a lot of key information!

It seems that Zhu Heyu still did not perceive Zhu Hejian's true face and wolf ambitions, but still believed that Zhu Hejian was a good person with an easy-going personality.

I have to say that Zhu Hejian's image in Zhu Heyu's heart has already been completely solidified, and Zhu Hejian's disguise is also extremely real, and it is difficult for Zhu Heyu to have other ideas.

However, the vision and scheming contained in this passage are also not to be underestimated.

Through this story, Zhu Heyu not only found a high-sounding reason for himself to compete for the storage position, but also made himself completely stand on the commanding heights of righteousness, and many details are quite painstaking and thought-provoking!

For example, Zhu Heyu first confessed his failures over the years, which was not only to expose the past contradictions between him and Zhao Junchen, but also to imply that he would change his style in the future and resolve Zhao Junchen's doubts!

For another example, when Zhu Heyu listed all the shortcomings of the imperial court, he successively mentioned the good deeds of Emperor Deqing, the insensitivity of the officials, and the assumptions of the Qinglius, all of which were not related to Zhao Junchen's faults, but instead mentioned Zhao Junchen's exploits in using various means to support the situation in the temple.

For another example, at the end of Zhu Heyu's speech, he also mentioned words such as "change" and "reform" many times, obviously understanding that Zhao Junchen is best at this kind of thing and is most interested in this kind of thing, so as to increase the possibility of cooperation between him and Zhao Junchen!

In short, these details are quite good, and it is obvious that Zhu Heyu guessed Zhao Junchen's problem in advance and made a plan in advance - which also shows Zhu Heyu's growth.

The most important thing is that Zhao Junchen also detected a trace of emotion from Zhu Heyu's words, which Zhu Heyu himself may not be aware of.

That is "jealousy".

When Zhu Heyu mentioned that Zhu Hejian was praised by all parties in the government and the opposition, there was a trace of jealousy hidden in the seemingly frank description.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this trace of jealousy that Zhu Heyu will deliberately look for the bad consequences of Zhu Hejian's inheritance of the unification, and finally have today's rhetoric!

Of course, since this period of time, the situation of the two is really far apart and the contrast is strong, and it is human nature for Zhu and Yu to be jealous and insistent, and it is inevitable for anyone, and it cannot be said that Zhu and Yu are jealous because of their poor character and small belly.

In fact, after perceiving this trace of jealousy, which was not obvious, Zhao Junchen felt that it was a good thing!

Zhu Heyu trusts Zhu Hejian too much, and this hint of jealousy will become a seed!

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen put down the teacup in his hand and said with admiration: "I see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really out of a public heart, which makes me admire it...... It's just that I'm too cautious, and there are still a few questions here that need to be answered by His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
