This time, Zhu Heyu still didn't hesitate too much and answered calmly: "Actually, at the beginning, when I found out that my father was determined to depose me and make my seventh brother the new crown prince, I felt deep in my heart.
Naturally, I feel a little disappointed, unwilling and angry, but also a little relaxed...
After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have achieved nothing during the years I have been the crown prince, and I have also failed in many things. This makes me doubt myself a little, thinking that my character and ability are not enough to inherit the throne.
It will harm the country and the people...
At the same time, the seventh brother and I have a deep affection for each other. I have always believed in his character and knowledge. And as I just said, unlike my resentment over the years and making enemies everywhere, the seventh brother has a deep relationship with me.
My brother, he has been praised and recognized by almost everyone, and becoming the crown prince is also something that everyone expects...
After I was deposed, it would undoubtedly be the best choice for him to take over the position of crown prince! Therefore, for a while, I had given up resisting in my heart and was just waiting for my father to issue the decree to depose me when he found the right opportunity.
Will, and then live in confusion for the rest of my life!"
During the explanation, Zhu Heyu talked eloquently, very patiently and sincerely, and seemed to be in a heart-to-heart relationship.
At least, that's what it seems.
Then, Zhu Heyu changed the topic and said: "However, while I was resigned to my fate, I saw my seventh brother gradually walking to the stage, and his reputation was getting better and better. He was praised highly by both the government and the public, and I couldn't help but feel
I was filled with surprise and envy. After all, this was something I had always longed for but could not get, so I began to carefully study the seventh brother's words and deeds, and explore in detail the seventh brother's way of dealing with others, hoping to understand the gap between myself.
Where……
However, the more I pondered and explored, the more I felt that something was wrong. After thinking hard for a long time, I finally discovered the truth - and the truth is that the reason why Seventh Brother is well-known and praised by everyone is just because of his
He was too easy-going and never argued or argued. When his father had great achievements, he would never remind him. When he saw the officials' insensitivity, he would never reprimand him. When he saw some of the Qingliu people's incompetence, he would never
I will never refute my taken-for-granted approach. In order to maintain harmony, I will tolerate anything, and I will naturally win the favor of all parties!
It's just that, with a character like the seventh brother, if we are relatives and friends, everyone will be happy, but how can we inherit the throne and become the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan? Although I have accomplished nothing in these years, I also know that the long-standing shortcomings of the imperial court have been deep.
In recent years, we have only relied on the means and prestige of Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Gechen and others to barely support it. It will inevitably not be able to persist for too long and will fall into chaos at any time. At this time, it is most necessary for someone to change the situation with a firm stand. Reform has accumulated shortcomings, and the last thing we need is superficial appearance.
A group of harmony, peace of mind!
Therefore, after much thought, I finally came to the conclusion that although I have accomplished nothing over the years and have repeatedly hit the wall, I am still the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne because I deeply understand the current situation of the imperial court and I am not afraid of changes.
! On the contrary, if I leave my country to a good old man like my seventh brother, I am afraid that my country, the Ming Dynasty, will come to an end!"
At this point, Zhu Heyu finally finished speaking his inner thoughts and returned to silence again. He just looked at Zhao Junchen's face, waiting for Zhao Junchen's reaction.
In Zhao Junchen's impression, Zhu Heyu had always been concise and reticent. This was the first time that Zhao Junchen had seen Zhu Heyu say so many words in one breath.
Under Zhu Heyu's attention, Zhao Junchen once again picked up the tea cup and drank tea lightly, concealing the fluctuation in his eyes.
If Zhu Heyu's words are not mixed with too much falsehood, then Zhao Junchen has indeed gained a lot of key information!
It seems that Zhu Heyu is still unaware of Zhu Hejian's true face and wild ambitions, but instead believes that Zhu Hejian is a good person with an easy-going personality.
It has to be said that Zhu Hejian's image in Zhu Heyu's heart has been completely solidified, and Zhu Hejian's disguise is also extremely real. It is difficult for Zhu Heyu to have other ideas.
However, the insight and scheming contained in these words cannot be underestimated.
Through this narrative, Zhu Heyu not only found a high-sounding reason for his fight for the reserve position, but also completely stood on the commanding heights of justice. Many details are even more thought-provoking and thought-provoking!
For example, Zhu Heyu first confessed his failures over the years. This was not only to expose the past conflicts between him and Zhao Junchen, and to implicitly admit his mistakes to Zhao Junchen, but also to hint that he would change his style in the future and resolve Zhao Junchen's problems.
Doubts in my heart!
For another example, when Zhu Heyu listed the various long-standing shortcomings of the imperial court, he successively mentioned Emperor Deqing's great achievements, the officials' insensitivity, and the Qingliu people's assumptions. These were all faults that had nothing to do with Zhao Junchen. On the contrary, they were
Mentioned Zhao Junchen's achievements in using various means to support the situation in the temple.
For another example, Zhu Heyu mentioned words such as "change" and "reform" many times until the end of his speech. He obviously understood that Zhao Junchen was best at this kind of thing and was most interested in this kind of thing.
Use this to increase the possibility of cooperation between him and Zhao Junchen!
In short, these details are quite impressive. It is obvious that Zhu Heyu guessed Zhao Junchen's problem in advance and made a plan in advance - this also shows Zhu Heyu's growth.
The most important thing is that Zhao Junchen also noticed a hint of emotion from Zhu Heyu's words that Zhu Heyu himself may not have noticed.
That is "jealousy".
When Zhu Heyu mentioned that Zhu Hejian was praised by both the government and the opposition, there was a trace of jealousy hidden in his seemingly calm description.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of this trace of jealousy that Zhu Heyu deliberately looked for the negative consequences of Zhu Hejian's succession to the throne, and finally came up with today's remarks!
Of course, during this period of time, the situation of the two people is really very different, and the contrast is sharp. It is human nature for Zhu Heyu to be jealous and persistent, and it is inevitable for no one. It cannot be said that Zhu Heyu is jealous and has poor character.
Good, small tripe chicken intestines.
In fact, after noticing this subtle hint of jealousy, Zhao Junchen thought it was a good thing!
Zhu Heyu trusts Zhu Hejian too much, and this jealousy will become a seed!
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen put down the tea cup in his hand and said with admiration: "So, His Royal Highness is really out of public interest, which makes me admire... However, I am too cautious, and there are still a few here
The question needs to be answered by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
