It wasn't until he left the gate of Weiyang Bank that Zhou Changfeng, who was "gifted" away, barely calmed down.

In just one cup of tea, I have completely experienced the outrageous things in this world?

In fact, after being ordered to attend the press conference and after talking with Shen Yu a few days ago, Zhou Changfeng already knew in his heart that he was almost inevitably involved in the whirlpool of political disputes in the Ming Dynasty, and he was more or less mentally prepared for it.

But I never expected that my preparation was far from enough, and this vaccination was still too little, and I encountered such a strange situation.

For this surviving princess, Zhou Changfeng only felt that it was too evil and abnormal, it seemed that she was going to play a big game of chess, and what was the goal?

The political status and role of princesses since ancient times are not static, and the princesses of the Han and Tang dynasties needless to say, they are all ruthless.

Princess Pingyang recruited troops and horses to build half of the foundation for the Tang Dynasty, Princess Taiping was able to influence the government when she was at her most powerful, and Princess Anle was almost established as the crown princess by Tang Zhongzong.

But later, with the improvement of the political system, the status of princesses since the Song and Ming dynasties has declined a lot, and the sense of existence is getting lower and lower.

However, these are already a thing of the past, and now, because of the compromise between the old and the new, and at the same time under the influence of various currents of thought, the Ming Dynasty of the constitution allows almost all magical situations to appear, and some events are even more outrageous.

For example, today you can see people from the Datong Party giving public speeches, tomorrow you can see people from the Renli Society organizing petitions, and the day after tomorrow you can see people from the Sun Moon Constitutional Council stepping down as prefects, and so on.

Because of this, these days, Zhou Changfeng has been imperceptibly accustomed to this chaotic and wonderful situation.

So, it didn't take long for him to accept the true face of today's unexpected behind-the-scenes manipulators... Or rather, numbness.

He speculated that the ambitious surviving princess was seeking power, but he found it strange that the emperor was now not young and in poor health, and if he died, the crown prince would rightfully succeed to the throne.

So how do you do it to wrest power from the rightful crown prince? How to overhead him?

If the forces on Princess Ning You's side can achieve that level, what is the use of the princess herself?

Zhou Changfeng didn't think about it and didn't figure it out, and in the end he could only vaguely believe that she probably wanted to have the power of the prison country, and didn't consider the more shocking aspects at all.

The biggest problem now is the unknown, and being in it doesn't know where the destination of this "thief ship" is, nor what its route is, which makes Zhou Changfeng a little uneasy.

Depressed to depressed, life is still passable, but there is one more big thing in my heart.

But that seems like a good thing? At least I know who it is, better than before.

In fact, Zhu Lingjing really didn't lie to him, she was just doing preliminary planning and preparation at the moment, and there was really no detailed strategy.

In fact, she has always believed that whether she can achieve great things does not depend on the way, but on whether there is enough preparation and accumulation. Although the interlocking and layered power struggles make people feel happy and exciting, this can be said to be very naïve.

This kind of rhetorical strategy often likes nesting dolls, nested layer by layer, but the uncertainties and risks that exist in this are too great, and the more nested, the greater the probability of going wrong.

All kinds of bizarre and small probability events in life are possible, not to mention sophisticated planning?

Each link in this process is an independent event, if the success rate of each ring is 95%, the failure rate is 5%, and the three rings are nested, then the probability of failure of any one or more rings is 1-0.95=14.2%; If you nest one more ring, it will be as high as 1-0.95=18.5%.

This kind of "beaded" conspiracy is something she despises, which seems to be subtle, but in fact it is very easy to break the line.

The real struggle for power should be to determine a general direction, and then take the first step boldly and firmly, and then go all the way.

And the confidence of all this lies in being well prepared, and at the same time being able to find the right moment and take advantage of the trend.

But it's still too early, before that, it is the right way to quietly accumulate strength in secret, didn't Liu Bowen and Zhu Sheng also advise Emperor Taizu Gao to "accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become the king"?

After returning to the princess's mansion, Zhu Lingjing learned a good news in private matters - after several months of circulation, the bachelor's degree certificate in pathology from the medical school of Heidelberg University from far away Europe finally arrived by mail.

Collecting degree certificates can be said to be one of her personal hobbies, because of her identity, she has nothing to do without worrying about food and clothing, after all, she can't spend as much time as a male magnates, looking for flowers and willows, so it can be said to be very monotonous and boring.

So in line with the idea that it is better to find something to do when she is idle, she chose to take time out to read and pass the time, and by the way, she can also increase her knowledge.

At this time, she will use the pseudonym "Zhu Yu", as for what books to read and what to learn, it depends purely on her interest, and it is impossible for her to go to class and exam in person. Therefore, the usual format is to say hello to the school first, then she will study on her own or ask a professor to give private lectures at home, submit her graduation thesis after completing the required courses, and then issue a degree certificate after being approved by the school.

After receiving a bachelor's degree in history from Jianye University at the age of 20, she received a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Suncheon University and a bachelor's degree in physics from Imperial Gezhi University in the past nine years. Therefore, it took more than four years to be qualified.

Then she studied medicine on a whim, but the process was more bumpy - although Jinling Medical University is very "familiar", but the medical school of Heidelberg University in Germany has always been known for its strictness, so although she passed the graduation exam with a low score, her graduation thesis was rejected three times, and she has only been able to pass it today.

In an age when there was no internet, the medical school organized a separate group for her to take the exams and papers from Berlin by train for a few weeks, and for the professors and assistants, they simply treated it as a free trip to the East.

"Well, it's quite exquisite, yes, let's put it here."

In her own room, she had the maid place it on the ledge.

Looking at the slip of degree certificates placed here in turn, she couldn't help but feel a little proud—there shouldn't be many people who are more knowledgeable than herself throughout the ages, right?

After paying attention to Xu Yan for a moment, she asked coldly, "What has the prince been doing these two days?" ”

The female official named Yiyi next to her immediately replied: "It is reported that the epidemic in Huguang is serious, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed the schedule and went to Jiujiang instead. ”

"Plague? What disease? ”

"Back to Your Highness, it seems to be a 'water Gu'."

[Unlike us, the Ming people's titles of "bachelor" and "doctor" are interchangeable, and the titles of "doctor" and "master" are interchangeable. In the book, of course, this only appears in conversations. 】
