……

The plan has reached this point, after overthrowing Zhu Heyu, who should sit in this new position of prince, and who will sit in this position will be the most beneficial to Zhao Junchen, which is what Zhao Junchen must seriously consider.

As for leaving the position of the crown prince vacant, it was certainly in Zhao Junchen's best interest, but Zhao Junchen only thought about it for a while and gave up this idea.

If there is no prince in the country, the world is uneasy, whether it is the Deqing Emperor or the Manchu Dynasty, they will never agree to let the position of the prince be so vacant, so that no matter how much everyone opposes it, even if Zhao Junchen has the means, it is impossible to achieve the goal.

In this way, Zhao Junchen's choice is not much.

In the Ming Dynasty, the rules of the establishment of the prince paid attention to "there is a grandson, and there is no grandson".

In this dynasty, the queen has no heirs, and the biological mother of the crown prince Zhu Heyu and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian is the imperial concubine Wan of this dynasty.

Although Emperor Deqing has many children, the princes born in his early years were either deposed due to events or died early due to illness, and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian is also the oldest prince besides Zhu Heyu.

In this way, after the fall of Zhu Heyu, regardless of background or age, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian will be the first choice for the new prince.

However, if you take into account Zhu Hejian's perennial sick and weak body, there are more variables in this.

Some veteran ministers will inevitably oppose this reason.

And this variables are not the same as the opposition. is exactly what Zhao Junchen wants to be born!

In fact, although Zhu Hejian has repeatedly released kindness to Zhao Junchen, it is deep in Zhao Junchen's heart. But he didn't want Zhu Hejian to become the new prince!

…………

"Zhu Hejian, the seventh son of Emperor Deqing...... Judging from the information collected so far, this person's city government can be described as unfathomable, obviously coveting the throne, but he can win the trust and favor of Emperor Deqing and Zhu Heyu; The means are also clever and frightening, and he has been using his frailty and illness to delay the time of leaving Beijing to become the king, and he is waiting for an opportunity in the political center of the capital; The mind can be described as decisive and ruthless. In order to show favor to me, he even did not hesitate to destroy his already sick and weak body! People like this, although they are cruel to themselves. But it will only be more ruthless to others, and it is often the most ruthless! Ambitious and greedy for power, for me, I am by no means the best candidate for the new prince! ”

Thinking back to Zhu Hejian's intelligence. Zhao Junchen frowned slightly.

Zhao Junchen is still young. But he has already become one of the powerful ministers in the court, and when the new monarch succeeds to the throne, he is very likely to become the next Zhou Shangjing - even more powerful than the current Zhou Shangjing!

And once Zhu Hejian becomes the new crown prince, as the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is full of enthusiasm and desire for control, but he never wants to see such a situation!

At that time, Zhu Hejian's hostility towards Zhao Junchen may not be lower than that of Zhu Heyu now!

And people like Zhu Hejian. Although he is frail and sickly, he is much more difficult to deal with than Zhu and Yu!

In a way. With Zhu Hejian's mental means, it is even more difficult to deal with than Emperor Deqing!

Although Emperor Deqing was a little overjoyed, he was a person who took care of the overall situation, although Zhou Shangjing fought against him in the court, but in order to avoid turmoil in the country, and also for his own reputation in the future, he only used the emperor's scheming skills to slowly deal with Zhou Shangjing over the years, but he never had the idea of using force.

But if it is replaced by Zhu Hejian, with his decisiveness and ruthlessness, he may not be as patient and intelligent as Emperor Deqing.

With all this, Zhao Junchen was naturally unwilling to let Zhu Hejian become the future crown prince!

…………

"However, although Zhu Hejian is not the best candidate for the new prince to me, among the other princes, none of them have the qualifications and ability to compete with him. Perennial frailty and sickness are his only weaknesses, and they are also the room for me to move, but if Emperor Deqing insists, or if Zhu Hejian suddenly improves a lot, then this qiē is not an obstacle. ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen sighed softly, his current power and influence are still small after all, such as the establishment of the prince, which is related to the next hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, and it is always decided by Emperor Deqing, even if Zhao Junchen wants to interfere with the influence, he is also a little powerless.

However, although once Zhu Hejian becomes the crown prince, he will inevitably be hostile to Zhao Junchen with his heart, and his scheming methods are far more difficult to deal with than Zhu Heyu, but for Zhu Hejian, Zhao Junchen is not as jealous as he is to Zhu Heyu.

Otherwise, Zhao Junchen would not have collapsed Zhu Heyu so quickly, which would have set up a bigger opponent for himself!

This is because, first, Zhu Hejian's body is not upright, and he does not have a handle to grasp like Zhu Heyu; Second, Zhu Hejian also knew how to compromise and retreat before he succeeded, which allowed Zhao Junchen to calmly arrange and accumulate strength; Third, and most importantly, Zhu Hejian is weak and sickly, and when the last resort comes, Zhao Junchen doesn't mind taking advantage of this to do something!

In the officialdom, the scheming city government is certainly terrifying, but what is really feared is people like Zhu Heyu, who have no handle to grasp at all, and who are upright and will not give up until they achieve their goals.

"However, in the final analysis, who should be the future prince depends on the attitude of Emperor Deqing."

Between thoughts, Zhao Junchen had the idea of going to the palace to explore the tone of Emperor Deqing.

By the way, the news that the crown prince Zhu Heyu is about to return to Beijing should also be reported to Emperor Deqing, so that Emperor Deqing can understand how effective the West Factory is in his hands.

And just after Zhao Junchen made a decision, Xu Qingyan also completed the task assigned by Zhao Junchen and returned to the study.

"Qingyan, I remember that a few days ago, Lord Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, sent a hundred-year-old Zizhi to the house, but is there such a thing?" Seeing Xu Qingyan return to the study, before he could report the task, Zhao Junchen had already opened his mouth to ask.

Xu Qingyan was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said: "There is such a thing, that Zuo Lanshan is very rich in the position of the Ministry of Industry, but since he took refuge in the young master, his attitude is also respectful, and he often respects some treasures to the house, among which there is indeed a black Ganoderma lucidum, I heard that this black Ganoderma lucidum is a good thing, it protects the spirit, benefits the essence, strengthens the muscles and bones, has a good color, and can prolong life. ”

Zhao Junchen instructed: "No need, this kind of good thing, naturally you have to go out with filial piety, take it, and go to the palace with me." ”

"To the palace?"

Xu Qingyan was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look out the window.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the sunset outside the window was red.

Zhao Junchen smiled and didn't say anything, just stood up and walked towards the outside of the study first.

ps: I'm sorry, because I changed departments, so I was dragged to drink by a few colleagues from the original department, and I didn't go home until almost ten o'clock, so the number of words in this chapter is relatively small.
