After hearing Zhu Hejian's explanation, Qin Xi still looked puzzled.`
Obviously, Qin Xi still doesn't understand what the problem is.
After seeing Zhu Hejian's performance, Zhu Hejian's eyes flashed with contempt and impatience, and he felt even more that Qin Xi was stupid.
Originally, Zhu Hejian was quite satisfied with Qin Xi's ability to do things, but after today's events, Zhu Hejian's view suddenly changed - Zhu Hejian's patience and forbearance were only limited to treating himself. When he treated others, Zhu Hejian not only
Strict and impatient.
In addition, seeing that he was about to go to the front desk, Zhu Hejian's eyes gradually became higher, and subordinates like Qin Xi gradually looked down upon him.
However, it is not the time to leave Qin Xi aside yet, so Zhu Hejian still spent all his energy to explain further: "When Zhao Junchen told you a story, it seemed that it was him who was telling the story and you were listening. You didn't seem to reveal anything.
, but in fact, his temptation had already begun. In Zhao Junchen's story, the focus is not on the content, but on the prerequisite of the story, which is... the second son of the rich man is not strong enough and cannot rely on himself.
He has used his own strength to seize the family property and needs foreign aid to help him..."
At this point, Zhu Hejian continued with a sneer on his lips: "But you only paid attention to the content of this story, but completely ignored the premise, and subconsciously acquiesced to the establishment of this premise. This is equivalent to admitting that I am currently
The matter of insufficient strength... With this understanding, combined with some other conditions, Zhao Junchen can make a rough estimate of my strength..."
After hearing Zhu Hejian's description, Qin Xi's body trembled slightly, and finally remembered what Zhao Junchen seemed to have said inadvertently - "If you want to seize the opportunity, you must rely on your own strength after all. If your own strength is insufficient,
We need to find foreign aid.”
At that time, after Qin Xi heard Zhao Junchen's words, not only did he not refute, but he also showed a thoughtful look, apparently acquiescing to the seventh prince's lack of strength.
Now that I think about it, this attitude completely revealed the identity of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian.
But in fact, what Qin Xi revealed to Zhao Junchen was far more than Qin Xi imagined.
The seventh prince Zhu Hejian continued: "However, this is only the beginning of Zhao Junchen's testing! When Zhao Junchen put forward the suggestion of 'making up for the lack of strength with foreign aid', your emotions were guided by Zhao Junchen's words, and your attitude towards him also changed.
I became attached to him unknowingly, which is equivalent to clearly telling Zhao Junchen that apart from Zhao Junchen, I currently have no other strong foreign aid to rely on!"
After hearing the explanation from the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, Qin Xi's expression changed again.
However, Zhu Hejian still did not finish speaking, and continued: "Also, you were completely unaware of Zhao Junchen's temptation. It was just a random story that easily disturbed your thoughts and led you to Zhao Junchen.
Walking with your nose in your hands.`This also made Zhao Junchen discover the dilemma of insufficient talents under my men..."
Qin Xi's expression changed again, and he realized that he had completely failed. He had let Zhao Junchen know too many things - what was even more sad was that he did not discover this until Zhu Hejian reminded him.
Zhu Hejian's biggest advantage now is that it is hidden in the depths, full of mystery and unknowability. His strength is unknowable, his plan is unknowable, and his style is unknowable... It is precisely because of these unknowables. When Zhao Junchen and Zhu Hejian cooperate, they always
There were many concerns and passivity, but after this incident, Zhu Hejian's advantage has been reduced a lot. When he continues to cooperate with Zhao Junchen in the future, Zhu Hejian's situation will gradually become passive.
Thinking of this, Qin Xi felt ashamed, lowered his head and said: "My subordinate is not doing well, please punish me severely."
However, Zhu Hejian didn't have many confidants now, and he still couldn't do without Qin Xi, so he didn't punish Qin Xi, but just shook his head and said: "That's all, let's record this incident for now, and let you make up for it in the future... Speaking of which, it's my fault too.
Although you have tried your best to overestimate Zhao Junchen, you still underestimated his methods. You have always been cautious, and you thought it would not be too difficult just to deal with Zhao Junchen, but unexpectedly it turned out to be self-defeating..."
Seeing that Zhu Hejian not only forgave him, but also took responsibility on him, Qin Xi couldn't help but feel grateful.
However, Qin Xi is a firm and decisive person. He quickly put away the complicated thoughts in his heart and started to think about business.
Qin Xi thought for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, Zhao Junchen has a deep scheming and clever methods. It is not only difficult to control, but also difficult to deal with. It can also be seen that he is somewhat defensive towards Your Highness and is not sincerely cooperating."
, it may become a threat in the future, so we need to prepare early."
The Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian's expression was calm and he said slowly: "Zhao Junchen and I have always had a relationship of mutual use. When we are beneficial, we gather together, and when we are exhausted, we are separated. I naturally know this... In fact, this Zhao Junchen may be more ambitious than
Much bigger than imagined... Recently, a Jubao Trading Company suddenly appeared. Like our Sihai Trading Company, this trading firm also does business with major military towns and takes the opportunity to infiltrate the army. Moreover, this trading firm is strong and has made great progress.
Quickly, it also took away a lot of business from Sihai Trading Company, causing the business of Sihai Trading Company to shrink a lot. Most of my hard work over the past few years was destroyed in just a few months..."
At this point, Zhu Hejian's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and he said slowly: "With such strength, ambition, and scheming, if my prediction is correct, the person behind this treasure-accumulating firm is either Zhou Shangjing or
Zhao Junchen!"
When Zhao Junchen left the seventh prince's residence in a carriage, he leaned against the carriage wall with a thoughtful expression on his face, thinking about the gains of his trip.
After coming to this world, Zhao Junchen has been trained in the officialdom and learned many scheming and methods. For example, the probing method he used against Qin Xi today was summed up by Zhao Junchen after he came to this world.
Qin Xi's mouth was very strict and he was very vigilant. Most of Zhao Junchen's tests were ineffective. However, Zhao Junchen still obtained a lot of useful information after using language guidance, pre-hints and other methods.
Based on this information, Zhao Junchen has a rough assessment of the true strength of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian. When facing Zhu Hejian in the future, he will not be completely blind.
"As imagined, the Seventh Prince's actual strength is not very strong, and he did not have strong foreign aid to support him in the previous dynasty. In addition, he did not have many talents under his command... In this way, after Zhu Heyu falls,
Even if Zhu Hejian can successfully obtain the position of crown prince, his initial threat will not be great, and he will not fall out with me soon. I can also arrange my plans for him calmly... It's just that with his scheming
In terms of means, as long as he can get the position of crown prince, he will definitely be able to make full use of his advantages and conditions to achieve the greatest development in the shortest time, but he cannot underestimate it..."
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen raised his head and looked at the miracle doctor Zhang Decheng.
At this time, Zhang Decheng also looked thoughtful, seeming to be considering the condition of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.
Zhao Junchen asked: "Doctor Zhang, how is the seventh prince's physical condition? Is it really serious?"
After being interrupted by Zhao Junchen, Zhang Decheng was a little dissatisfied, but considering that Zhao Junchen would fund his establishment of a medical school in the future, he finally explained: "The seventh prince's physical condition... is very strange."
"Weird? How do you say it?"
Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed and he asked.
Vaguely, Zhao Junchen felt that Zhu Hejian's physical condition might be an opportunity that he could take advantage of!
