Since Zhao Shancai officially settled in the East Palace and began to assist Prince Zhu Heyu, Prince Zhu Heyu's development in the temple has been smooth sailing. Not only was he hindered by others in the past, but the situation of being besieged on all sides has gradually eased. The internal reputation of Prince Zhu Heyu and
His power and position have also been consolidated. The most important thing is that Prince Zhu Heyu, who was always being plotted by others in the past, can actually plot against others!
Once, when Emperor Deqing visited the south, Prince Zhu Heyu had a smooth sailing under the advice of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian. However, the prince Zhu Heyu knew very well that there was no comparison between the seventh prince Zhu Hejian and Zhao Shancai.
The situation then was very different from today!
At that time, Emperor Deqing left Beijing to tour the south, and Zhu Heyu stayed in Beijing to rule. Most of the main officials of the major factions in the court were taken away by Emperor Deqing. Zhu Heyu had a great advantage in the center of the capital. As for Deqing
The emperor, Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen and other highly skilled political opponents were not in the capital. Prince Zhu Heyu only had to deal with Huang Yourong, who was of average skill but not very ambitious and talented. It was not particularly difficult.
But now, the environment that Prince Zhu Heyu faces is many times worse than before. Due to the rectification of business and taxation, not only has his own momentum suffered a lot, but the hearts of the "princeling party" are unstable. Emperor Deqing's confidence in him is shaken.
The officials became increasingly hostile to him... In addition, treacherous and corrupt officials such as Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen were all secretly restraining themselves in the court...
However, in such a harsh environment, with Zhao Shancai's advice, Zhu Heyu regained his disadvantage step by step and regained a foothold in the temple. Now Zhu Heyu even gained Deqing's support again.
Therefore, it cannot be overstated that Zhu Heyu valued Zhao Shancai! To put it mildly, Zhao Shancai was the young talent Zhu Heyu valued. Zhao Shancai lost his official position and fame because of Zhu Heyu.
It made Zhu Heyu feel guilty and wanted to make amends! To put it more seriously, Zhao Shancai was the key figure for Zhu Heyu to realize his political revenge in the future! He was also destined to be Zhu Heyu's most important right-hand man in the future!
Because of this, Zhu Heyu was naturally extremely worried when he thought of Zhao Shancai's physical condition in recent days! Especially when he thought that Zhao Shancai persisted in making suggestions for himself and assisting in government affairs even though he was ill, Zhu Heyu felt even more guilty.
, I just want to do my best to repay Zhao Shancai one or two!
Therefore, when Prince Zhu Heyu and Emperor Deqing ended their conversation and left the Forbidden City, Zhu Heyu did not return to the Prince's East Palace immediately. Instead, he ordered Xiang Changsui: "After returning to the East Palace, send a name card
Go to Zhao Junchen’s residence and ask him to come to the East Palace to see me as soon as possible!”
Having said this, Prince Zhu Heyu seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he changed his mind and said again: "Forget it, I'll go to the Zhao Mansion in person... Let's go to the Zhao Mansion!"
"
He is going to see Zhao Junchen!
For the sake of Zhao Shancai's body, Zhu Heyu is willing to ask Zhao Junchen for help, even if this will make him owe Zhao Junchen's favor again!
The imperial doctors in the palace have been helpless to deal with Zhao Shancai's condition these days, but Zhang Decheng, the imperial physician in Zhao Junchen's mansion, may be able to do something about it. After all, the condition of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian has gradually improved under Zhang Decheng's treatment.
It got better, which is enough to prove that Zhang Decheng's medical skills are much higher than those of the imperial doctors.
Therefore, Zhu Heyu had no choice but to place his hope of curing Zhao Shancai on Zhang Decheng in Zhao Junchen's mansion.
On the other side, after hearing Zhu Heyu's instructions, Changsui couldn't help but be startled. He didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince had always regarded Zhao Junchen as an enemy, so now he deliberately went to the Zhao Mansion to visit Zhao Junchen.
However, the prince had an upright and serious character, and his attendants were always in awe of him, so they did not dare to ask. They just quickly helped Zhu and Yu get into the sedan chair, and then led the bearers towards the Zhao mansion.
At this time, in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Junchen had finished the "Zhao Party" gathering and was sitting in his study, frowning slightly and tapping his fingers on the table, secretly thinking about the future direction of the temple.
His expression was full of thoughtfulness.
Zhao Junchen is not a god. It is impossible to predict everything, let alone control other people's thoughts and actions. Therefore, although he has worked hard and carefully during this period, all plans are going smoothly, but the direction of the temple is still the same.
Gradually it fell away from the prediction.
At least Zhao Junchen had never considered the gradual cooperation between Prince Zhu Heyu and Emperor Deqing.
Therefore, many of Zhao Junchen's plans, and even the overall future planning, have to be adjusted, large or small, to adapt to changes in the temple's situation.
This requires a lot of effort, so Zhao Junchen has maintained this posture for a long time.
Although his body gradually became stiff and numb, Zhao Junchen was so focused on thinking that he didn't notice it at all.
Zhao Junchen does not think that he is smarter than others. If he wants to be the final winner, Zhao Junchen must put in more energy and focus than others.
This is also the real reason why Zhao Junchen has been developing smoothly so far.
And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking seriously, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
After hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but frown again.
The knock on the door interrupted Zhao Junchen's thoughts.
Before that, Zhao Junchen had already told everyone in the mansion that he should seriously consider some things during this period and asked everyone in the mansion not to disturb him easily.
However, Zhao Junchen quickly suppressed his unhappiness, because Zhao Junchen knew very well that people in the Zhao family would never disobey his orders without reason. Something more important must have happened.
So, Zhao Junchen's voice was very calm, and he just raised his voice and asked: "What's the matter?"
As Zhao Junchen finished speaking, Xu Qingyan pushed open the door and walked in. With a look of helplessness and surprise, he reported to Zhao Junchen: "Young master... the prince is here and wants to see you."
Hearing Xu Qingyan's report, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be startled and asked: "Prince? What is he here for? Did he explain his purpose?"
Xu Qingyan shook his head and said: "No, the prince just said that he wanted to see the young master and had no intention of explaining his purpose."
Zhao Junchen sighed softly. To be honest, Zhao Junchen was not afraid of Prince Zhu Heyu, but he was not willing to come into contact with Zhu Heyu easily. After all, it was a headache.
However, the prince has a distinguished status after all. Now he is willing to come to the Zhao Mansion to see Zhao Junchen in person, which has given Zhao Junchen a great deal of face. With the prince's noble status, he can summon Zhao Junchen to the East Palace to talk, so Zhao Junchen cannot avoid it.
So, Zhao Junchen stood up, quickly left the study, walked towards the door of the palace, and said: "Let's go and see what our Crown Prince is here for... It is a rare thing for the Crown Prince to visit in person.
, but I’m afraid it will be another trouble.”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Xu Qingyan nodded in agreement and followed Zhao Junchen towards the main entrance of Zhao Mansion.
When the master and servant came to the main entrance of the Zhao Mansion, they saw Prince Zhu Heyu standing outside the Zhao Mansion. Although he came to the Zhao Mansion in person to visit Zhao Junchen, he had no intention of entering the Zhao Mansion and just stood there.
There he waited for Zhao Junchen to go out to greet him.
Zhao Junchen quickly came to the Crown Prince Zhu Heyu and saluted: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit me personally. Everyone in our Zhao family feels so radiant and glorious..."
Although Zhao Junchen had a very bad relationship with Prince Zhu Heyu and was unwilling to meet Prince Zhu Heyu, he still had to say some polite words.
However, Zhao Junchen was interrupted by Prince Zhu Heyu just halfway through his polite words.
"Zhang Decheng, the miracle doctor in your mansion... will move to the East Palace from now on!"
Prince Zhu Heyu got straight to the point and spoke.
It turned out that during this period, Prince Zhu Heyu was first for the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, and then for Zhao Shancai, but he repeatedly turned to Zhao Junchen for help because of the miracle doctor Zhang Decheng, and owed Zhao Junchen many favors, so he felt that this was not the way to go.
, decided to get Zhang Decheng over once and for all directly from Zhao Junchen, so that he would no longer have to ask Zhao Junchen for help because of Zhang Decheng in the future.
This is also the reason why the prince changed his mind and visited Zhao Junchen in person.
According to Prince Zhu Heyu's opinion, since he had spoken in person, Zhao Junchen would never dare to go against it.
Even according to the view of Prince Zhu Heyu, he was already begging Zhao Junchen and bowing to Zhao Junchen.
