Zhao Junchen is also a smart and clever person, and he quickly figured out what Zhao Shancai meant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If Zhao Shancai revealed the ambitions of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian to the crown prince Zhu Heyu, then the situation would no longer be recoverable, and there would inevitably be a fierce conflict between the crown prince Zhu Heyu and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian...... It's just that the scheming, city, and means of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian are far superior to that of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, although the prince Zhu Heyu is the respect of the prince, but he may not be able to achieve the final victory.

On the other hand, Zhao Shancai's explanation also confirmed Zhao Junchen's speculation.

I saw Zhao Shancai sigh and said slowly: "If my body is not as good as it is now, then I am confident that I can assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to compete with the Seventh Prince, even if he hides it very deeply and is scheming, I will not be afraid of him, and I will definitely be able to ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne smoothly...... It's just that my physical condition is on the verge of the limit, and I don't know how long I can assist His Royal Highness the Prince, even if I have seized all the time, racked all my scheming, and arranged a large number of back-ups, I don't dare to guarantee that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince's opponent is not only the Seventh Prince, but also you, as well as many powerful ministers in the court, and even His Majesty's mind has also changed...... If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is he, he will fail in the end......"

Speaking of this, perhaps because of the ups and downs in his emotions, Zhao Shancai's body trembled, and suddenly coughed violently, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

Today, Zhao Shancai's physical vitality has been exhausted, even if he coughs violently, he is still breathless and extremely weak.

On the other side, Zhao Junchen showed admiration on his face, and said: "And if the crown prince fails, his position as prince will be replaced by the seventh prince!" At that time, if the crown prince didn't know about the ambitions of the seven princes, it would be fine, and the seven princes might not have killed the prince considering the influence of the government and the opposition! However, if the crown prince knew the truth, he would force the seventh prince to take action to eradicate the hidden danger...... At that time, the crown prince will not only lose the position of prince, I am afraid that even his life cannot be guaranteed, but is this? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's speculation, Zhao Shancai nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Zhao Shancai's coughing finally stopped.

Zhao Junchen found that there seemed to be a lot of blood stains on the handkerchief that Zhao Shancai used to cover his mouth.

Zhao Junchen's eyes shrank slightly, but he didn't say anything, just pretended not to see it, and just sighed softly: "For the sake of the prince, you are really thoughtful and well-intentioned, and the prince can get your assistance, which is really his convincing." ”

On the other side, Zhao Shan glanced at the blood stains on the handkerchief, but he also didn't care about it, just took a breath for a while, and then spoke again: "So, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince's life, I hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to hide this matter." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Shancai's tone became more and more weak.

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said, "You are really lucky. ”

Then, after taking a deep look at Zhao Shancai's weak appearance, Zhao Junchen stopped going around in circles, and said directly: "You specially met with me today, I'm afraid it's not just to exchange information with me, right?" What is the matter, it is better to say it directly...... Everyone can save time, especially if you're running out of time. ”

Zhao Shancai nodded, and also went straight to the point, and said: "Actually, the time is not ripe yet, I didn't plan to meet Lord Zhao so early, but Lord Zhao, you also know that my time is running out, if I delay any longer, I may not have the opportunity to meet Lord Zhao...... So I came early. ”

After a pause, Zhao Shancai asked, "Lord Zhao has a lot of eyeliner in the inner court, so he must also know the changes in His Majesty's mind now, right?" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "Naturally, I know that recently, His Majesty's attention to the crown prince has been greatly reduced, but he is often concerned about the situation of the Seven Princes, and he also secretly ordered the factory guards to collect all the information of the Seven Princes...... I'm afraid that Your Majesty's confidence in the crown prince has been completely shaken, and he intends to let the seventh prince succeed the crown prince as the new prince. ”

Zhao Shancai sighed again and said: "That's true, the current situation is very unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but my time is running out, and I can no longer be able to reverse the overall situation, and the rise of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian is inevitable...... However, although I am powerless to reverse the situation, you can, Lord Zhao! ”

"Me?" Zhao Junchen raised his eyebrows and asked: "The crown prince, he has always hated me to the bone, and now that he is about to be deposed, I am naturally happy to see it happen, why do you want to deliberately reverse the overall situation?" Could it be that you are meeting me today so that I can change my stance and support the prince? You shouldn't be so naïve. ”

Zhao Shancai seemed to have anticipated Zhao Junchen's refusal, and did not have any eagerness, but just said, "Lord Zhao, why do you need to ask knowingly? You have a current relationship with the Seven Princes, but once the Seven Princes become the new prince and gain a foothold in the temple, you will no longer be of use to the Seven Princes......

…… The temperament of the Seven Princes is quite similar to that of His Majesty today, they are all good at scheming and suspicious! And the Seventh Prince is much more ruthless than His Majesty today! With the current rising momentum of Lord Zhao, he will definitely be powerful in the future! And the Seventh Prince is the future emperor, how can he want to see a powerful minister rise up and fight against him? His Majesty can tolerate the existence of Zhou Shangjing now, but the Seventh Prince may not tolerate the existence of Lord Zhao in the future! Therefore, Lord Zhao, the cooperative relationship between you and the Seventh Prince will break down sooner or later, and the two of you will also become hostile sooner or later! With Lord Zhao's eyes, it is impossible not to see these things! ”

"Indeed, sooner or later, the Seventh Prince will not be able to tolerate me, and I have long expected this matter." Zhao Junchen nodded in acknowledgment and said, "However, the prince can't tolerate me either!" For me, the Seventh Prince is just a distant worry, and the crown prince is the immediate trouble! As long as I can bring down the crown prince, I will be able to get more time to prepare, and I may not let the Seven Princes handle it at will in the future! So there is absolutely no way I can support the prince, that is purely to make trouble for myself! ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "What's more, today, the rise of the Seven Princes is already the general trend, even if I really help the prince, I may not be able to reverse the situation, so why should I be thankless?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's rebuttal again, Zhao Shancai still didn't have any eagerness, but said: "Because, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is easier to deal with than the Seventh Prince!" In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne, and you will still have the strength to fight back, but if the Seventh Prince becomes the emperor, Lord Zhao, you will never be lucky! Weigh the lesser of two evils, compared with the Seven Princes, Lord Zhao should support the prince more! ”

Zhao Shancai's statement is very reasonable, but Zhao Junchen also has his own plans and ideas, so he was still not persuaded by Zhao Shancai, but said slowly: "Shancai, your wisdom vision, although few people can match, but it may not be able to guess everyone's mind, let alone predict all the changes in the world, so don't say it too absolutely!" For the Seven Princes, I naturally have my own plans. As long as the prince still can't tolerate me, then there is absolutely no way I can support him! So, Shancai, don't waste your efforts, it's impossible for me to support the prince. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's refusal again, Zhao Shan was silent for a long time.

Then, Zhao Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, it is impossible to convince Lord Zhao just by relying on these empty words. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "So, what else have you prepared?" ”

Zhao Shancai saw that Zhao Junchen seemed to have expected that he still had a back hand, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but he didn't say anything, just took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Junchen.

"What's in this book is my quid pro quo!"

Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand to take the book, opened it and looked at it, and the contents of it quickly made Zhao Junchen's expression serious.

After a long time, Zhao Junchen finally finished reading the contents of this book.

Then, Zhao Junchen's expression was quite solemn, and he said slowly: "You...... It's really well-intentioned! I've always thought I've valued you enough, but now it seems that I'm still underestimating you...... But this time, I didn't underestimate your intelligence, but your ruthlessness and determination! I really didn't expect you to come up with such a ruthless plan, I think I'm a ruthless person, but I've never thought of such a ruthless idea! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen shook his head again and said: "In order for the prince to ascend the throne smoothly, you even calculated the prince himself!" I'm afraid that after the prince learns about this plan, the first thing he will do is to kill you! …… Is it worth it, though? ”

Zhao Junchen looked directly at Zhao Shancai and asked seriously.

"If the heavens could give me more events, I would never make such a plan." Zhao Shancai's expression was calm, and he said softly: "Speaking of which, Lord Zhao, you may not believe it, I originally planned to gradually reverse His Royal Highness the Prince's prejudice against Lord Zhao, and let you become one of His Royal Highness's future helpers!" In this way, it will be good for Lord Zhao, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the imperial court! It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personality is too stubborn and wants to reverse his mind for many long times. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not without growth, as long as he is given enough time, he will definitely become a generation of Maven. It's a pity that there is not much time left for me, and there is not much time left for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... That's why I had to make a decision. ”

After explaining, Zhao Shancai also looked directly at Zhao Junchen and asked, "Is Lord Zhao still satisfied with my plan?" ”

Zhao Junchen was silent, secretly considering the pros and cons, and after a long time, Zhao Junchen finally said: "I admire you, but I don't trust you!" I don't think this plan is all you have to do! At the same time, I also have a number of plans that are being implemented gradually...... So, your plan will be one of my alternatives, but no one can say for sure what the situation will change in the future, so I can't promise you anything, except to say that if the time is really ripe in the future, then I may choose your plan! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen's tone increased, and he added: "But it's just maybe!" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's answer, Zhao Shancai's expression relaxed a little and said, "That's good...... With my current situation, there is not much I can do, and all the preparations I have made now are just to obey the destiny of heaven, I just hope that when the time is ripe in the future, Lord Zhao, you can remember these proposals of mine! ”

After speaking, Zhao Shancai's hands held on to the table, stood up with difficulty, and nodded to Zhao Junchen: "Since this is the case, Shancai has nothing else to do, so he will leave!" ”

In the distance, the scholar Zhao Mu saw Zhao Shancai's appearance, and hurriedly ran over to support Zhao Shancai.

Then, without waiting for Zhao Junchen's response, Zhao Shancai was ready to leave the teahouse.

Seeing that Zhao Shancai was about to leave, Zhao Junchen, who was still sitting in the same place, suddenly asked, "...... Now do you regret your decision to assist the crown prince Zhu Heyu? If you hadn't chosen to assist the crown prince Zhu Heyu, you would have been able to live well! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Zhao Shancai turned his head and glanced at Zhao Junchen, shook his head and said: "Shancai is naturally afraid of death, but if Shancai abandons his position and ambition, then I will no longer be myself, and I will completely become another person, at that time, even if I am still alive, what is the difference between being dead and dead?" Shancai naturally knows that if Shancai chose to assist Lord Zhao at the beginning, he must be in good health and have a bright future now, but the path chosen by Lord Zhao is still not recognized by Shancai! ”

After speaking, Zhao Shancai slowly left the teahouse with the support of the scholar Zhao Mu.

On the other side, after Zhao Shan left the teahouse, Zhao Junchen, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed softly and whispered to himself: "The near gentleman is ashamed, and the far gentleman is inactive; The near villain is ridiculed, and the far villain is in trouble...... Indeed, you have not been the same person as me all along...... You're a gentleman, I'm a villain......"

Muttering to himself, Zhao Junchen looked at Zhao Shancai's thin back, knowing that this was probably the last time he and Zhao Shancai would meet.

With Zhao Shancai's current physical condition, and he has been overdrawing his efforts to plan for the future of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, he will definitely not be able to live for a few more days.

A generation of talents is about to fall.

I see you today, but I will say goodbye!

However, Zhao Junchen also knows that for the future of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai must have left many followers.

Among them, there must be many backhands against Zhao Junchen!

And the plan that Zhao Shancai gave to Zhao Junchen today is just one of the backhands left by Zhao Shancai.

Therefore, even if Zhao Shancai falls, he may still affect the direction of the temple situation for a long time in the future!

But whether the crown prince Zhu and Yu can faithfully implement Zhao Shancai's many plans is another matter.

As Zhao Shancai himself said, he is now just doing his best and obeying the destiny of heaven!
