Chapter nine hundred and seventy. Laying down for the country.

At the same time that Zhu Hejian fainted in the sedan chair, the imperial doctor Wen Caining hurried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony after receiving Emperor Deqing's order.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Emperor Deqing and all the officials, Wen Caining began to diagnose Zhao Junchen's body.
During the diagnosis, the expressions of Emperor Deqing and the officials were somewhat serious, and everyone's eyes contained a hint of scrutiny.
Obviously, there were definitely not a few people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony who suspected that Zhao Junchen was pretending to be ill and threatening the court.
After Wen Caining noticed the atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he also knew that the matter was serious. He had to be careful in everything he looked at, heard and asked, and it took a long time.
Under the attention of Emperor Deqing and the officials, Zhao Junchen had a calm expression and an extremely cooperative attitude.
After a long time, Wen Caining's diagnosis finally came to an end, and Emperor Deqing immediately asked: "Mr. Wen, how is Zhao Aiqing's physical condition? Is it really very serious?"
Wen Caining nodded solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Gechen's physical condition is indeed very bad. His pulse is weak and stagnant, and his breath is slow and turbid. It is obviously due to overwork and overwork, which has led to deficiency of Qi and blood.
, Loss of vitality! If that's the case, it would be fine to rest for a period of time. However, Zhao Gechen's situation is much more complicated. It is a situation of internal deficiency and external excess. This is because after he overdrawn his vitality, not only did he not have any
He recuperated as soon as possible, but instead took a large amount of tonics to forcibly refresh him. The residual poison of these powerful medicines accumulated in the body, but further damaged Zhao Gechen's body..."
At this point, Wen Caining's expression became more serious, and he finally came to the conclusion, saying: "So, Zhao Gechen's physical condition is extremely serious. He must take medicine carefully, rest for a long time, and gradually eliminate the residual poison, so that he can gradually regain his strength.
If we continue to waste our energy and energy, I’m afraid there will be a danger that it will never come back!”
After listening to Wen Caining's diagnosis, Emperor Deqing's expression was extremely serious, and his eyes kept changing.
According to Wen Caining's diagnosis, Zhao Junchen's physical condition requires him to rest for a long time, and it seems that it is imperative to report his illness and resign.
Such a conclusion was obviously not what Emperor Deqing wanted to see.
For Emperor Deqing, the court's plan to regain the Hetao is the most important thing at the moment. This is directly related to Emperor Deqing's status in later generations and the evaluation of history books.
In comparison, no matter how serious Zhao Junchen's condition is, it is just a trivial matter! As long as Zhao Junchen can help the court regain the Loop, even if he is terminally ill due to overwork and his life is in danger, Emperor Deqing will also
Don't care at all.
What's more, Zhao Junchen is too young and too powerful, which has become a hidden danger to the Zhu family's future. If Zhao Junchen's physical condition worsens further, it will also be a good thing for Emperor Deqing, who will take action against Zhao in the future.
It will undoubtedly be much more relaxed when I am Junchen.
However, these thoughts must not be expressed directly. For the sake of his imperial image, Emperor Deqing had to maintain an appearance of caring for his courtiers on the surface.
So, after Emperor Deqing pondered for a moment, he turned his eyes to Zhao Junchen, his expression full of emotion and relief, and sighed: "In this period of time, Zhao Aiqing has sacrificed a lot for the sake of the justice of the court and the safety of the people! See you
I am also very sad about Zhao Aiqing's physical condition! If it were normal times, of course I would hope that Zhao Aiqing has a good rest...
But the current situation at the center of the imperial court cannot be separated from Zhao Aiqing no matter what! The household department is now in a mess, and only about 60% of the logistics, food and wages for the Hetao War have been prepared, which is obviously a drag on the frontline war.
, the imperial court’s complex plan may fail!
Alas, under such circumstances, only Zhao Aiqing, personally in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can reverse the chaos and get back on track... If Zhao Aiqing just calls out his illness and resigns, what will the court do in the future?"
Having said this, Emperor Deqing shook his head repeatedly, repeatedly explained his difficulties, and kept describing the difficulties of the court.
When talking about the latter part, Emperor Deqing's face was filled with sadness, as if he was in a dilemma.
At the same time, Emperor Deqing was secretly observing the changes in Zhao Junchen's expression from the corner of his eyes, hoping that after seeing the difficulties of the court and his own difficulties, Zhao Junchen would have a sense of justice in his heart, take the initiative to ask for help, and sacrifice himself for the sake of others.
The country said, "I can persist for a while, and I am willing to help the court overcome the current difficulties, and wait until everything is back on track before making a decision."
However, after Zhao Junchen heard what Emperor Deqing said, he just shook his head and sighed along with Emperor Deqing. His expression was full of regret, but he had no intention of stepping forward to ask for help. He had obviously made up his mind to resign.
Already.
After seeing Zhao Junchen's attitude, Emperor Deqing couldn't help but feel secretly angry. He only felt that Zhao Junchen's consciousness was too low, that he had no justice in his heart, and that he completely failed to live up to his expectations.
Therefore, Emperor Deqing turned his attention to Wen Caining again and asked: "Mr. Wen, is Zhao Aiqing's physical condition really unable to withstand a little care? I don't need Zhao Aiqing to do too much, I just need him to go there
Just sit in the Ministry of Finance for a period of time, impart some experience, and give some guidance. There is no need for Zhao Aiqing to expend too much energy!"
When asking, Emperor Deqing's tone was quite gentle, but his eyes were extremely threatening.
After discovering Emperor Deqing's attitude, Wen Caining couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
Obviously, after Emperor Deqing saw that Zhao Junchen was unwilling to take the initiative to express his position and ask for help, he turned his attention to Wen Caining and wanted to force Wen Caining to change his words and show that Zhao Junchen was still capable of handling court affairs.
In this way, Emperor Deqing could smoothly ask Zhao Junchen to take over the mess in the Ministry of Revenue.
However, if Zhao Junchen's physical condition was unexpected in the future, Emperor Deqing would definitely put all the responsibility on Wen Caining in order to maintain his imperial image.
Naturally, Wen Caining did not dare to take on such a responsibility, but he hesitated for just a moment before hearing Emperor Deqing ask again: "Doctor Wen is one of the most skilled doctors in the world. He must be able to find a solution, right?"
As he spoke, Emperor Deqing's eyes became even sharper.
Finally, under the gaze of Emperor Deqing, Wen Caining gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, if the court affairs entrusted to Zhao Gechen are not particularly heavy, and coupled with Weichen's careful recuperation and maintenance... it should not be possible in a short time.
There’s too much of a problem.”
After hearing Wen Caining's answer, Emperor Deqing nodded with satisfaction.
But Emperor Deqing still did not take the initiative to express his attitude, but turned his attention to Zhao Junchen again, waiting for Zhao Junchen to take the initiative to express his attitude.
All in all, Emperor Deqing was a bitch who set up a memorial arch. He wanted Zhao Junchen to work while sick and bear the risk of aggravating his condition, but at the same time he was unwilling to take the initiative to raise the matter to prevent Zhao Junchen from having an accident that would affect him.
Imperial image.
Under the gaze of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
This request to resign was Zhao Junchen's test of Emperor Deqing.
Now it seems that Emperor Deqing still does not want Zhao Junchen to leave officialdom.
On the surface, Emperor Deqing did not want Zhao Junchen to resign because the current situation in the court could not do without Zhao Junchen's efforts. But in fact, it was because Emperor Deqing still did not change his feelings for Zhao Junchen.
Positioning, I don’t want to let Zhao Junchen go so easily.
After all, in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen was a fat pig that he carefully raised. Seeing that this fat pig was getting fatter and fatter and could be slaughtered for meat in a few years, Emperor Deqing naturally did not want it.
Zhao Junchen ran out of the pig pen so easily.
Otherwise, even if Emperor Deqing still needs Zhao Junchen to stay in the household department for a while, he will also say that he will allow Zhao Junchen to resign after this incident is over. However, Emperor Deqing made no similar statement at all.
, as if he wanted Zhao Junchen to stay in the temple.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen no longer had any luck in his heart.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen finally raised his head and responded to Emperor Deqing, saying slowly: "Since the imperial court and His Majesty still need my efforts, Imperial Physician Wen also believes that I can persist for a while, so I should sacrifice my life for the country!
Please rest assured, Your Majesty, after today's court meeting, I will rush to the Hubu Yamen to personally take charge of the matter and complete the preparation of logistics and food as soon as possible to get the Hubu back on track."
Although Zhao Junchen did not pretend to be ill to blackmail the court, he did intend to use his illness to gain some benefits for himself.
But now is not the time to talk about conditions, otherwise it would be too explicit.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen finally agreed to Emperor Deqing's request.
However, while Zhao Junchen expressed his stance, he also secretly made up his mind - it was time for him to pretend to be comatose again.
*
On the other side, Emperor Deqing couldn't help but frown after hearing Zhao Junchen mention the words "sacrifice his life for the country".
This statement is like Emperor Deqing forcing Zhao Junchen to do things despite being sick. Although this is the fact, Emperor Deqing still felt unhappy after such statement fell into his ears.
However, Emperor Deqing quickly concealed his unhappiness and just changed the subject, turning to Zhao Junchen for advice on the Hetao war.
