……

At a time when all parties are planning painstakingly for their own interests, as the most hidden conspirator and careerist, Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince, is naturally not idle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time that the crown prince Zhu Heyu was talking with Zhao Shancai, the divine doctor Zhang Decheng came to the mansion of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian and diagnosed Zhu Hejian's body again.

Speaking of which, since Zhao Junchen arranged for Zhang Decheng to diagnose and treat the body of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, it has lasted nearly two months.

In the past two months, Zhang Decheng's diagnosis and treatment of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian can be said to have achieved remarkable results, so far, Zhu Hejian's body has always been sick and has improved greatly, especially in the past month, Zhu Hejian's body has become healthier and healthier, and he has never had any illness again.

It is said that after Emperor Deqing heard about this, he once praised Zhang Decheng's medical skills, and rewarded Zhao Junchen and Zhang Decheng with many things.

At this time, in the guest hall of the Seven Princes' Mansion, Zhang Decheng was reaching out to check the pulse of the Seven Princes, Zhu Hejian.

After a while, Zhang Decheng nodded lightly, and then asked the Seventh Prince: "Your Highness's pulse has become more stable and powerful, but I don't know what your physical condition is in the past few days?" But what are the discomforts? ”

The Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian shook his head, his face full of smiles: "Speaking of which, since I can remember, my physical condition has never been as good as it is now!" Since Dr. Zhang Shen diagnosed me, my physical condition has been getting better day by day, especially in recent days, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am refreshed, I always felt weak in the past, as if there was a thousand pounds of weight on my body, as long as I was a little tired, I would get sick. But in the last few days, I have been full of energy, I rarely feel tired, and my appetite has increased dramatically......"

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian's face showed just the right amount of gratitude, and he nodded to Zhang Decheng and thanked him: "All this is all the credit of Doctor Zhang, if I don't have Doctor Zhang's brilliant medical skills, I'm afraid I will be a sick man for the rest of my life." ”

Zhang Decheng shook his head and said humbly: "Your Highness is serious, the old man is just doing his best, the diagnosis and treatment and prescribing medicine during this period of time are actually just to enhance the physical vitality of His Highness, and now His Royal Highness's physical condition has improved, and it is only after the physical vitality is enhanced, the old man really does not dare to take credit." ”

Zhu Hejian shook his head and said: "Doctor Zhang is too modest, if there is no careful recuperation of Doctor Zhang, where can my body vitality be enhanced?" It is not too much to say that Doctor Zhang's kindness to me is like recreation, and I will be grateful no matter what. ”

After speaking, Zhu Hejian raised his hand, and saw a subordinate holding a plate of gold and silver sent it to Zhang Decheng, the amount was about three hundred taels.

Zhu Hejian continued: "It's a pity, I'm just a powerless idle prince now, I haven't left Beijing to be crowned king, except for a little gold and silver mundane things, I don't have the ability to repay the kindness of Doctor Zhang, but my physical condition is getting better now, sooner or later I will have a prince and a fief, at that time, Doctor Zhang, you will always be my honored guest, no matter what Doctor Zhang's request, I will try my best to meet it...... It's just that now, I can only take some gold and silver mundane things to thank Doctor Zhang, and I hope that Doctor Zhang will not dislike it. ”

When he spoke, Zhu Hejian's expression was sincere and his attitude was sincere, which made people feel good.

In fact, after this period of contact, although Zhang Decheng has always felt that Zhu Hejian's illness is strange, he also has an excellent sense of Zhu Hejian, thinking that although Zhu Hejian is a prince, he has no shelf, has a modest attitude, is sincere, and often considers others, which is stronger than the prince Zhu and Yu.

At this time, seeing that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian gave him a plate of gold and silver, Zhang Decheng did not refuse after pondering for a while, but just nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then the old man will be ashamed." ”

Zhu Hejian said with a smile: "I know that Doctor Zhang is by no means the kind of pedantic person who is cowardly, this plate of gold and silver given to Doctor Zhang will definitely benefit hundreds of people and patients in the world, but it can be regarded as my accumulation of virtue through the hands of Doctor Zhang." ”

Listening to Zhu Hejian say this, even if he has a strange temper like Zhang Decheng, he can't help but feel happy, and his senses for Zhu Hejian are getting better and better.

At this moment, Zhu Hejian's personal eunuch Jia Lun walked quickly to the guest hall and lowered his head to report to Zhu Hejian: "Your Highness, the Duke of Jing is visiting. ”

Hearing the report, Zhu Hejian showed surprise on his face and said, "Oh? Lord Yue-sama is here? Hurry up and invite him in! ”

Looking at Zhu Hejian's expression at this time, it was like an ordinary son-in-law hearing about his father-in-law's visit, joy and surprise were just right, but who could have guessed that Zhu Hejian and Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, were actually subordinate to each other?

On the other side, after hearing that Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, was visiting, Zhang Decheng also stood up with interest, and said goodbye to Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince: "Since it is the visit of the Duke of Jingguo, then the old man will leave and dare not disturb His Highness again." ”

In this regard, Zhu Hejian did not continue to stay, but just got up to send him off, and said, "I hope that after Doctor Zhang returns to Zhao's mansion, he will say hello to Lord Zhao on my behalf." Speaking of which, if it weren't for Lord Zhao inviting you to treat me, my body would not be as good as it is now, and I really owe Lord Zhao a favor. ”

Zhang Decheng nodded and agreed: "Your Highness's greetings, the old man must convey them to Lord Zhao." Speaking of which, Lord Zhao has always been very concerned about His Royal Highness's condition, and every time the old man treats His Highness, Lord Zhao will inquire carefully. ”

"Oh? Is it? Then I will be even more grateful to Lord Zhao for his concern. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Hejian's smile was sincere, but his eyes kept fluctuating.

After Zhang Decheng left, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian came to the study in the mansion.

In the study, Jing Guogong Chen You has been waiting for a long time.

After nodding to Chen You, the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian sat behind the desk, his expression returned to his usual coldness, and said slowly: "I have already heard about the matter of the court this morning, Jing Guogong, you did it very beautifully, and easily brought down Su Changyi, in this way, Su Xiuning has become a family member of the prisoner, Zhao Junchen will not choose her as his wife, plus Cui Qianxue has now been kicked out of the house by Cui Mian, Chen Zhirong's chances have become greater...... If Zhao Junchen marries Chen Zhirong as his wife, then after I officially come to the fore in the future, I will have the support of my allies in the temple, and I will be able to gain a firm foothold. ”

Hearing Zhu Hejian's praise, Chen You hurriedly replied: "Where, the Seventh Prince's reputation is excessive, if it weren't for the Seventh Prince's preparation of a large amount of detailed evidence in advance, and seizing the right opportunity, how could a deep-rooted feudal official like Su Changzhen collapse so easily?" Everything is the clever means of the Seven Princes, and I just do what the Seven Princes tell me. ”

The seventh prince, Zhu Hejian, smiled lightly and did not deny Chen You's statement, but continued: "However, the biggest gain of today's court meeting is not the fall of Su Changyi, but the fact that the prince did something stupid again, and he actually disobeyed his father in front of hundreds of officials, which made his father angry, and ordered him to think about it behind closed doors for ten days, and not to participate in the court meeting within these ten days...... Hehe, Zhao Shancai's hard work during this period of time was all wasted by the prince! ”

Chen You still accompanied the smiling face and said: "Although Zhao Shancai has the fallacy of Jiangnan talents, where can he match the methods of the Seven Princes?" Even if it can be redeemed for a while' too. The decline of the sub-party's situation cannot last long! The position of this crown prince will sooner or later belong to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. ”

Zhu Hejian shook his head, his expression was quite cautious, and he said slowly: "Zhao Shancai is not inferior to me in terms of vision or means, and he has won the true biography of Master He Ming, but he is in the light and I am in the dark, I don't have too many scruples in acting, but he has the prince on the side, so he will make a bad move." But we must not underestimate him, as long as he still assists the prince, then the prince will not fall easily...... Fortunately, he couldn't assist the prince for long, otherwise it would be a big trouble. ”

Hearing Zhu Hejian's words, and thinking that Zhao Shancai's physical condition had suddenly deteriorated sharply recently, and he had inexplicably committed a serious stomach problem, Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, vaguely guessed something, but he felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to continue talking.

The Seventh Prince, Zhu Hejian, didn't care about the change in Chen You's expression, but continued: "This time, the crown prince was punished by his father and thought about it behind closed doors, and he couldn't even participate in the court meeting, and he couldn't meet the holy question and answer at any time, but it was a great opportunity...... If all goes well, the position of prince will soon fall into my hands. ”

As he spoke, a stunning light flashed in the eyes of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian - at this moment, Zhu Hejian, who had endured for many years, had finally made up his mind and decided to officially go to the front of the screen.

Therefore, even if the city is as deep as Zhu Hejian, there are some changes in expression at this moment.

In fact, during this period of time, Zhu Hejian's "condition is getting better day by day", which is also a foreshadowing for him to move from behind the scenes to the front and prepare to seize the position of the prince!

After all, if he still looked sick, no one would support him to become the new prince, and even Emperor Deqing would not be willing to hand over the Ming Dynasty to a sick man.

On the other side, after hearing Zhu Hejian's statement, Chen You was first shocked, and then his face showed excitement and excitement, and asked, "Your Highness, are you...... Finally planning to deal with Zhu Heyu? ”

Zhu Hejian nodded slowly, his expression seemed calm, but his eyes couldn't help flashing: "After the events of today's early dynasty, I estimate that my father's patience with the crown prince has reached the limit, and he will make up his mind to depose him with just one kick in the door!" …… So, the time is ripe. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Hejian suddenly smiled and said: "My father's temperament has always been a bit of great joy, and people with such a temperament often care very much about the evaluation of historical books...... It's just that I've been holding back from it before, but the time hasn't come yet! ”

After making a formal decision, Zhu Hejian seemed calm, but his mood was inevitably a little agitated, so he, who had always been concise and shocked, couldn't help but say his true thoughts that he had hidden for many years at this time.

I saw Zhu Hejian sigh softly: "The position of the prince and the prince, half a monarch and half a minister, and a prince and a minister, is the most embarrassing, but the father and the emperor are sensitive and suspicious, and this position is even more difficult to sit!" In fact, the prince's jealous and stubborn temperament was completely deliberately cultivated by his father, because his father was too suspicious, and he knew that the royal family had been ruthless since ancient times, even between father and son would be full of open and secret battles, so he never taught the prince strategic skills, only taught some high-sounding truths, but I didn't expect the prince to become what he is now......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Hejian sighed again: "Because of this, I have always been forbearing, and I didn't really fight for the position of the prince, but I kept shaking my father's trust in the prince, and when my father was completely disappointed in the prince, I would stand up and take over the position, and at that time, with the previous prince as a comparison, I would be much easier." ”

Hearing Zhu Hejian's true thoughts, Chen You's heart was full of admiration, and said: "Your Highness is wise, if you look at fire, no one in the world can match!" ”

As he spoke, Chen You raised his head again and asked, "But I don't know, Your Highness, how do you plan to fight for the position of the prince?" ”

Zhu Hejian smiled lightly, his smile seemed to be gentle, but there was a faint hint of coldness, and said: "As I said just now, my father is so happy with his achievements, and he cares very much about the evaluation of later generations of history books, as long as he makes good use of this, it is not difficult to bring down the prince!" ”

While speaking, Zhu Hejian turned his head to the eunuch Jia Lun on the side and ordered: "You go and arrange it, now is also the time to let my father know about the rumor." ”

Jalen's expression was silent, he just nodded, didn't say anything, and quickly left the study to run errands.

Seeing the dumb riddle between the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian and Jia Lun, Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, was a little confused for a while, and he didn't know how the Seventh Prince planned to bring down the crown prince, and what the "rumors" he mentioned just now were.

However, seeing that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian did not explain, Chen You did not ask any questions, but just sat aside a little awkwardly - he found that as Zhu Hejian's father-in-law, he couldn't understand Zhu Hejian's mind more and more.

Seeing the change in Chen You's expression, Zhu Hejian smiled slightly, picked up a book from the desk and handed it to Chen You, and said, "This book, after you return home, you will copy a copy and present it to your father." ”

Chen You was stunned for a moment, then began to read it carefully after taking the song, and then his face was full of shock, and he exclaimed: "Feng Wang left Beijing?!" ”

Zhu Hejian's face was still calm, and he nodded: "Yes, you have to present a recital to your father, ask your father to be the king for me, give me a fief, and let me leave the capital!" You are my father-in-law, and you are qualified to have an opinion in this regard! Compared with a powerless prince, you naturally prefer that your husband is a rich and noble prince, and if you come forward to present this letter, your father will not be suspicious...... Now that my physical condition is recovering, I should naturally leave the capital, as an adult prince, I can't stay in the capital all the time, which is not in line with the rules of the imperial court. ”

"But far away from the center of the capital, how are you going to compete for the position of prince, Your Highness?"

Hearing Chen You's questioning, Zhu Hejian smiled again and said slowly: "Don't worry, this letter is just a temptation of my father!" If he was really completely disappointed in the prince, then he wouldn't let me leave Beijing! Of course, if my father really agrees to your recital, then my illness can also recur at any time......"
