For Zhao Shancai, Zhao Junchen's thoughts are very complicated, both jealous and appreciative, so although Zhao Junchen will also deal with Zhao Shancai, he will often leave a glimmer of leeway, and will not make a dead hand, and he also expects Zhao Shancai to be able to discern the situation, and from then on abandon the prince Zhu Heyu and take refuge in his own door.

But the seventh prince Zhu Hejian is different - he himself is a ruthless person, and Zhao Shancai's vision and means are all clever, and he is determined to assist the crown prince Zhu Heyu, which seriously hinders Zhu Hejian's ambition to compete for the throne, so Zhu Hejian is only afraid of Zhao Shancai's thoughts, but he doesn't have any appreciation, he just wants to get rid of it quickly.

Zhu Hejian is a man of action, after discovering Zhao Shancai's threat, he immediately launched an action against Zhao Shancai, instructing Li Yuran, the imperial historian of the central court, to take advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Deqing to rectify the discipline of the dynasty to impeach Zhao Shancai for leaving the southern tour team without permission, so that Zhao Shancai lost his official position and fame, in this way, Zhao Shancai became a civilian, Zhu Hejian will not attract too much attention and influence when he deals with Zhao Shancai, and Zhao Shancai can disappear from this world silently.

Originally, according to Zhu Hejian's plan, Zhao Shan had just been removed from his official position and fame, and people's attention to him was still there, but it was not the best time to get rid of him, and he still needed to wait patiently for a while, and wait until Zhao Shancai's influence gradually faded before using the last resort.

However, when Zhu Hejian found out that Zhao Shancai was in the "Prince. After the party "diluted its influence" internally, its original thinking suddenly changed.

Zhao Shancai's move not only hindered Zhu Hejian's plan to compete for the storage position again, but also represented that Zhao Shancai was full of jealousy and vigilance against Zhu Hejian in his heart, indicating that Zhao Shancai may have discovered Zhu Hejian's true face, which means that Zhao Shancai's threat to Zhu Hejian is increasing.

Therefore, Zhu Hejian was worried that something would change later, so he revised his plan and decided not to wait any longer, and to get rid of Zhao Shancai as soon as possible!

*****

It's in "Prince. While everyone gathered in the East Palace to discuss matters, Zhu Hejian was also secretly carrying out his own plan.

At this time, in the mansion of the Seven Princes and in the study, I saw Zhu Hejian standing behind the desk, practicing calligraphy with a focused expression, copying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy "Lanting Collection Preface".

A moment later, Qin Xi pushed the door and entered, and stood quietly in front of Zhu Hejian.

Seeing Qin Xi appear, Zhu Hejian put down the Zihao in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Get rid of Zhao Shancai's manpower...... Have you found it? ”

When asked, Zhu Hejian's expression seemed calm and gloomy.

Qin Xi nodded and said: "I have already found it, this person's name is Zhang Wei, his nickname is Zhang Mazi, he is a horse bandit on Taihang Mountain, he has always been ruthless, killing people without blinking, this person is experienced and clean, if this matter is handed over to him, he will definitely not fail." ”

After a pause, Qin Xi added: "In addition, when this Zhang Wei first arrived in the capital, no one knew his details, and his subordinates had been contacting him through intermediaries, and he didn't know about our existence, so there was no flaw left in this matter, and please rest assured His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." ”

Zhu Hejian frowned slightly, and said: "If you don't think about winning, you must think about defeat first, if you want to do great things, you must be well prepared...... So, after Zhang Wei succeeds, what will he do? ”

A trace of killing intent flashed on Qin Xi's face, and he said: "The subordinates have already agreed with Zhang Wei through an intermediary, as long as he can kill Zhao Shancai, he will give him five hundred taels of silver, and he has already paid him one hundred taels of silver in advance, and after he kills Zhao Shancai, he will go to the predetermined place to receive the remaining four hundred taels of silver...... When the time comes, the subordinates will prepare a pot of poisoned wine, as well as a team of men and horses equipped with strong crossbows and bird guns, and when Zhang Wei and the intermediary appear, they will be eliminated together! In this way, the clues will be cut off, and after Zhao Shancai is killed, even if it causes a big wave of rendering, it will not be able to find us, and there will never be any handles! ”

After hearing Qin Xi's detailed explanation, Zhu Hejian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, it can be regarded as thoughtful......

After a pause, Zhu Hejian commanded in a very flat tone: "Since this is the case, let that Zhang Wei act immediately, Master He Ming is very lonely in the underworld, and it is time for them to reunite their master and apprentice...... Like Master He Ming, this Zhao Shancai is a big trouble, if I delay it any longer, maybe it will hurt me......"

Although Zhu Hejian's tone was flat, the coldness that flashed in his eyes made Qin Xi's heart chill.

So, Qin Xi immediately lowered his head and said, "My subordinates will do it immediately, and ask the Seventh Prince to wait for good news." ”

After speaking, Qin Xi turned around and left.

And Zhu Hejian still stayed in the study, as if he had just decided on a trivial matter, and continued to practice calligraphy with a calm expression.

Ironically, Zhu Hejian was copying Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" at this time, and had just written the last sentence of the third line, that is, "Wouldn't it be painful to die and live......

(Note: "Death and life are also great, isn't it painful!") It means that life and death are a major event, and how can people not feel grief? ）

*****

Let's not talk about the assassination plan of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian against Zhao Shancai.

However, he said that when it was close to noon on this day, Zhao Junchen left the Zhao Mansion and, according to the agreement between him and Zhao Shancai, took a carriage towards Tianhailou.

When Zhao Junchen came to the outside of Tianhai Tower and got out of the carriage, he found that Zhao Shancai had been waiting for him there for a long time.

Zhao Junchen smiled and greeted Zhao Shancai, and at the same time carefully looked at Zhao Shancai in front of him, after seeing that Zhao Shancai was not depressed at all because of the loss of his official position and fame, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed a trace of appreciation.

This Zhao Shancai, whether he is tenacious or free-spirited, but just based on his performance after encountering setbacks, he is completely worthy of Zhao Junchen's attention.

On the other side, after Zhao Shancai saw Zhao Junchen appear, he also walked quickly towards Zhao Junchen, and saluted Zhao Junchen first: "Zhao Shancai, a grass man, has seen Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Shancai's arms, and said with a meaningful smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm quite worried, but I feel relieved to see that Shancai is still in good spirits." ”

Zhao Shancai smiled: "Thank you Lord Zhao for your concern, Shancai is grateful." ”

However, when Zhao Junchen and Zhao Shancai greeted each other politely, they didn't know that there were two people hiding in the shadows at this time, constantly observing them.
